Character Division: Stars

  • Affectionate Parody: Of joke characters. probably. Chincherrinas said this on the moveset video:
    "You guys need to stop being so unidimensional and start seeing this in another way: joke characters are awesome. Dan is my main in SFIV."

  • Pun:
    "Somebody call 9-1-1, because I was ROB-bed!"
  • Self-Deprecation: In-Universe; he says that Smash Bros. Lawl is ruined at the end of his moveset video, with the captions claiming it from Irate Gamer being playable.
