- One moment per work to a troper; if multiple entries for the same work are signed to the same troper, the more recent one(s) will be cut. For subpages that cover multiple works, it's permissible for one troper to have entries for more than one work.
- Moments only, no "just everything he said", "the entire episode", or "this entire work," entries.
- No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
- No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.

- Sponge Bat 1: I think AnimatedJames is a fairly decent animator/writer, but what absolutely irks me is his Teen Titans No
video. As one of the few people who like Teen Titans Go!, I had a feeling I might not like the video, but I can understand why some people don't like the show and decided I'd give James the benefit of the doubt. It starts off with James' idea of what the TTG writers are like, and surprise, surprise, they're all blithering jackasses. Great start so far. But what pushes it over the edge is when Robin throws a hand grenade into the room and gorily kills the writers. And this is treated as a good thing. So this video basically implies that the TTG writers deserve to die just because James doesn't think the show is funny. But wait, it gets better! Towards the end of the video, a random producer says that the writers were all mentally handicapped... What?- Kira Doom: Not only do I strongly agree here, but I want to point something out here that really bothers me about the whole thing: the super obvious Double Standard here. Yeah, the Go!Titans are Designated Heroes, but the Titans in James' video straight-up murdered a bunch of mentally handicapped people! Not even the Go!Titans would stoop that low! But apparently, it's okay for the AnimatedJames!Titans to slaughter people like this because they made a bad reboot. Because that's totally a reasonable and sane reaction! I used to be okay with Teen Titans Go!, but even though I don't like it anymore, I would never forgive the blatant hypocrisy in his criticism (which was already overly scathing and gruesome to start with). So yeah, because of this (and the other Dethroning Moments here that I also agree with), I'm never watching this guy again.
- Psychic Slayer Natrium: I'm sorry, but what was so funny about "Pokemon Capture" again? All it consists of is Red using a bunch of Pokeballs to capture Pikachu, and when he gets captured, he is stuck inside this blank dimension where each Pokeball is constantly brutally damaging Pikachu with traps as he tries to escape, and in the end, is reduced to gory limbs. That's the entire video, repeating the same basic joke over and over again. It's not even Bloody Hilarious either and it seems to be played for forced shock rather than any actual humor. Even for a Pokemon parody, the video goes way too far with its cruelty. This was the one thing, aside from his fart fetish, to make me never go anywhere near James' content ever again.
- shonengirl: I actually liked James when I knew only his Sonic vs. MLP videos, but even then, they made me roll my eyes at the crude jokes right out of a bad adult cartoon that popped up here and there, and this is the reason I disliked "Amy Rose vs. Pinky Pie". I mean, at least in "Sonic vs. Rainbow Dash", they were mostly quick and fast-paced, and it was action-packed enough to at least make it enjoyable. I would have put the Splatoon vs. de Blob video on here, as it was where I realized that this guy can put out pure crude, cringeworthy material made of nothing but crude, cringeworthy material. But then I found out/was reminded that he did a Pokemon video. You see, I heavily look down on fan parodies (the western ones anyway), especially shorts, because 99% of it is just bad attempts at shock humor attached to a well-loved family-friendly franchise, because, well, they're "edgy" or something; i.e. what I like to call "Racist Mario Syndrome", or otherwise echo whiny complaints, use "jokes" that have been done to death (though this is connected heavily to Racist Mario syndrome), and put everyone through the character grinder and back again multiple times and/or needlessly cruel torment because "comedy". Even if a short actually seems to be going fine, it will always have to end on an obligatory stupid gory/gross/"adult" mean-spirited joke, I groan, Palm meets forehead. Again. Occasionally, I'll see a genuinely funny or even heartwarming one with clearly much heart put into it, to my pleasant surprise, and I find that animations related to less "mainstream" franchises like My Little Pony or Undertale tend to have less of these; I may find more of the typical cloying fandom cringe, but even the most groan-worthy preteen yaoi shlock has way more thought and love for at least some aspect of the source material put into it than these abominations (only relatively speaking however... Smile HD and Pony.mov are still things that exist). Three common victims of "Were so edgey!1!!" I know of are Mario, Sonic, and Pokemon; and the more franchises a channel covers, the bigger chance it seems there is it will churn out a bad "parody" of the latter. And look, the guy who made a blob jizz over 14-year-olds did an animation on it! Oh joy! And look, it features a cute little mouse being tortured painfully and nothing else! Fun! At least, he actually uses Red instead of Ash, showing that he isn't yet another person who knows nothing about Pokemon that just made a "parody" anyway, though that might make it just worse. Since it shows he should actually give a shit about what he's doing. But nope, it's yet another video in the giant mass of "Durr hurr, look, we took an innocent thing and filled it with gore, sex, gross-out, and sexed-up gross-out gore! We're so edgy lol" taking up a good part of western parody videos. You know what, I haven't seen this video. I may have seen the thumbnail for it before, but I was wise enough not to click on it despite Red's cute, innocent-looking face. But the moment I hear "Pokemon parody", I know something has a good chance of being horrible, and the description above confirms my suspicions, if not being even worse than I expected. Well, I guess the idea is kind of original, but it makes no sense and at its core, it's one of way too many cliche, uninspired "fan" animations/parodies. It's times like this I really appreciate what Robot Chicken did when they parodied Pokémon, showing the inside of a Pokeball as a paradise, despite the crude humor. I have a strong stomach, so most poorly-done "adult" gags just make me roll my eyes, and anything meant to be "shocking" is just tedious and boring to me. Guess what, people, you're not doing anything new. It's not even shocking anymore, it's just annoying and irritating, it's not funny, and worst of all, it's cliche, overdone, lazy, and boring! Stop already! (Oh, and update; with the "Youtube kids cartoons" that are circulating around, these animations have lost even more of their relevance; these videos do pretty much exactly what they do, but yet being viewed by kids all over. I find it hilarious, thinking about this way.)
- Wario Guy: The "Splatoon vs. de Blob" video bothers me a bit. The animation here seems to be a bit lazier. But the kicker here is the "joke". As the Inklings continue on their Turf Wars, a de Blob Slime comes out of nowhere and... takes out his slime wang and inks all over the Inklings. Keep in mind that the Inklings are 14. It's disturbing enough, made worse with a close up of a female inkling enjoying being splattering by the ink. Basically, the whole video is just a lame dick jerking joke made worse with the Inkings being underage. I felt really unclean after this.
