* BrokenBase:
** Should Adam be able to rig the ''[[VideoGame/GarrysMod Gmod]] VideoGame/{{Murder}}'' games or not? Granted, they're normally funny anyway.
** He also gets a fair amount of flak for how he plays TTT. (Basically, [[AntiRoleModel trying to act like Adam on a regular TTT server will get you banned pretty quickly]], given how Adam is just playing with a small group of friends that can tolerate his antics, not playing with potentially dozens of strangers on a public server.)
** The recent collaborations with LetsPlay/VanossGaming and associated [=YouTubers=] has split the fanbase between those who think that it's a good thing and the ones who don't.
** Adam's occasional use of "noclip" has been a bit controversial as well.
* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** It's not unusual for various players in TTT, Nanners included, to pretend that as the traitor, they have become very anti-American. It becomes rather funny after a while.
--->'''[=ChilledChaos=]:''' ''Death to America!''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj4i4_yS5FA This video]], recorded in ''Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army 2'', has Adam spawn in as a Nazi, causing him to have to constantly deny being a Nazi in real life. He gets accused of working for the titular enemies, killing Jews and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking stealing art]].
** Most of the ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' videos run off this, due to the source material.
* FanNickname: The Dolphin for his trademark giggling. In the animated versions of his Let's Plays he's often drawn as a dolphin while doing this, in one case being drawn as a dolphin ''wearing a dolphin suit!''
* FoeYayShipping: Plenty of people seem to enjoy hinting at the idea of an Adam and Max(GassyMexican) appropriately called SeaMexican.
* FriendlyFandoms: With LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez and LetsPlay/GassyMexican, primarily.
* MemeticMolester: Adam jokingly portrays himself this way when playing "The Hidden". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=1pczmZMy3Xs#t=30 Certain]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1R53Hgh3_M&feature=player_detailpage#t=34 videos]] take this trend and invoke it, with him half naked and ambushing Renee in the loo, then licking a guy's butt in the first, while jokingly admitting to touching another player in the night in the second.
* MemeticMutation:
** Various quotes have become rather popular, such as "Death to America", or "Never Trust Nanners".
** Most of the quotes in "Hunted By Morgan Freeman" have become popular memes in the Nanners community.
* ParanoiaFuel: The guys were hit by this ''hard'' InUniverse, after finding out that Adam could rig the Gmod Murder games by picking who gets to be the murderer and had been for a ''long'' time before that. They have since decided to give the server responsibilities to Max (GassyMexican), since he's less likely to do this. This has since caused many commentators on the various videos to panic, as quite a few are wondering if their friends have done it to them.
* StopHavingFunGuys:
** Some people had this reaction after they learned that [[ParanoiaFuel Adam can rig the Gmod Murder games by picking who gets to be the murderer]], and beforehand, he would actually do this a lot without telling anyone. Ironically, LetsPlay/CaptainSparklez, Gassy and even Goldy have said repeatedly online that it's all in good fun (as annoyed as they may have been) and that people shouldn't take it so seriously.
** A slightly more justified example would be Adam's constant use of RDM for comedy [[note]] an abbreviation for "random death match", in which a player is killed in games such as ''Murder'' or ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' without a justifiable reason[[/note]] in ''Murder'' or ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown''. While most fans accept that he's perfectly entitled to do this on his own server with people whom he is friends with, the problem is that his fanbase are even less mature than ''he'' is and will do this on public servers with strangers, something that is viewed as annoying and an offence so great that you can be permabanned instantly. Heck, some fans even want him to stop doing it ''on his own server''.
** Much like RDM, Adam's occasional use of "noclip" [[note]]the use of codes to make it so you can walk through walls and fly anywhere[[/note]] has been very controversial. This is something that fortunately cannot be copied as easily.
