Funny / Mother's Basement

Main reviews

The Worst Isekai Anime

• Geoff notes how The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar is the most masturbatory thing he's ever seen and demonstrates that he's speaking from experience given that he's seen DarkSydePhil's livestream where he infamously jerked off on camera.

The Roast of Hand Shakers

• When bringing up an explicit Brother–Sister Incest subplot between underage children:
  Geoff: Look, Hand Shakers, if I wanted to watch Boku no Pico...I'd kill myself, okay?
• When discussing Kodama's Hurricane of Aphorisms schtick, clips of her quoting famous people (e.g. "The 28th American President, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, once said, 'There are no coincidences in fate.'") are played, quickly speeding up and eventually becoming so fast that she's completely incomprehensible.
  Geoff: Canadian YouTuber Geoffrey Thew once said, "Thanks! I hate it!"
• Looking at Hand Shakers' background art for too long causes Geoff to break down while analyzing its many glaring inconsistencies, leading to:
  Geoff: ...or why the gaze of the Great Old Ones is piercing through you, seen but unseen, hidden through the signal of your TV as it—okay...yup, I looked at it too long.
• Geoff notes that the Special Effect Failure can get so bad at times that watching Hand Shakers streaming at a low resolution would turn it into a pixelated mess. He then states that he didn't just buy the Blu-Ray for the joke about Product Placement, but that he needed it to see the show clearly enough for the review.
  Geoff: So move over, promise of uncensored titties - technical incompetence is the new wave in Blu-Ray marketing! (Or maybe not, judging by how this sold...)

The Roast of Dragon's Dogma

• Geoffrey addresses the show's politics:
  Geoff: Is this show secretly based on one of those fabled rejected Ben Shapiro screenplays? Because that would explain the recurring theme of unsatisfied wives.

Princess Connect: Like Konosuba, But Chill

• Geoff runs into some editing issues when it comes to his personal nominee for Best Girl.
  Geoff: Pecorine is my personal favourite of the group, for...(close-up on her breasts) very good reasons, but also because I really like her personality.
  (Camera zooms in on her breasts again)
  Geoff: Her...her personality.
  Caption Text: Oh. (Camera pans up to her face)
  Geoff: Thank you.
  Caption Text: Yeah, sorry.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5 Primer - Anime Cheat Sheet

• His many digs at the series for abandoning nearly everything set up in the first two seasons come Stardust Crusaders.
• Stroheim goes on to become this season's Speedwagon, because it was the 80s, and no one thought Nazis were a thing anymore.
  Thousand-Yard Stare

Top 5 WORST Anime of 2018

• He summarizes the anime adaptation of Conception, a poor tie-in meant to promote the Updated Re-release of the game, as "a testament to what a group of people can really do when they all band together and collectively give up."
• When criticizing how frequently My Sister, My Writer goes Off-Model, he's got several great one-liners.
  "The anatomy and faces are so inconsistent that it looks like they had Picasso on keyframes."
  "This show is to regular ecchi as eldritch texts are to self-help books. I'm pretty sure if you tried using this for its intended purpose, your dong will come out the other end looking like a Junji Ito creation."
  "[The protagonist] is so dense that all the show's art mistakes could be chalked up to the light bending around him."

Top 5 WORST ANIME of 2019

• Geoff is confused by the title of his fifth-place entry, W'z (the sequel to Hand Shakers). The title card shows a pronunciation guide that makes him believe the word is pronounced "Weed", but when one of the characters says it as "Wise", he gives up and says "Yup...that's how you pronounce those letters."
• When Geoff does his summation of the anime of High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World and describes it as irritating and unambitious "political mayonnaise", he declares that it and every other animated series could be improved simply by adding Bernie Sanders to it...but especially also live-action sitcoms like Cory in the House.

HOTTEST TRASH Anime - Spring Cleaning 2021

• When discussing Fairy Ranmaru, he mentions an episode that represents a cyberbullying campaign in a very metaphorical and abstract way, with a world consisting of limbs, eyes and social media networks:
  Geoff: The villainess attacks our hero with a Frieza death ball that is the Twitter logo.
  Garth Marenghi: I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards.

Top 5 WORST ANIME of 2021

• For his number two spot, Geoff laments that Season 2 of The Promised Neverland, which he'd like to put in this slot, doesn't actually exist, then goes on an extended rant about how, hypothetically, if A-1 Pictures had done something as foolish as screwing up everything that had been set up in the show so far in order to deliver an unsatisfying conclusion, that would definitely make it worthy of the slot. Fortunately, that didn't happen and this is all just a hypothetical scenario that he conjured up in his nightmares. Everything is fine...

The Roasting of the Shield Hero

• Geoff's increasingly desperate attempts to rationalise Naofumi's Hero's Slave Harem:
  "It's almost like they have a different word for Digimon in this setting, and that word is slave!"
• Throughout the video, he consistently refers to Filolials as Chocobos due to the obvious inspiration.
  [goofy voice] "But Geoff, they're called Filolials!" [normal voice] I know.
• He considers that there might be something "problemistic" or "misogynatic" about the character named 'Princess Bitch-Whore' (Malty/Myne).

The Roast of Rent-A-Girlfriend

• All the chapters of the video are named variants of "I hate this" — except for the ad read, and Sumi, the one main character who has no romantic involvement with Kazuya.
• Kazuya popping a boner while underwater in a public pool is used to create an alternate cover for Nirvana's album Nevermind, complete with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" playing while Geoff squawks in disgust.
• The middle of the video has an ad read for G-Fuel, endorsed by Kazuya's grandmother who indulges in Very False Advertising and Kazuya calling her out for it.
• On Mami Nanami, he acknowledges and applauds her character, but not just because she's someone you Love to Hate. Given how Kazuya himself is really hateable, he decides not to perceive Mami's spiteful actions toward him as villainous, but rather his karmic punishment for how poorly he's treated everyone else!
  "All of her [i.e., Mami's] villain behavior only counts as 'villain behavior' if you believe Kazuya Kinoshita deserves to be happy. And I absolutely, categorically do not."

The BEST Anime of Summer 2022

• During the intro, Yazy walks on camera holding a watergun and demands to know why Geoff didn't mention Tokyo Mew Mew New. He awkwardly tries to insist he totally didn't forget it and complete the intro as normal, even as Yazy presses the watergun to his temple.
  • At the end of the video, after conspicuously not recommending New, Geoff proudly declares he has recommended every good show and not missed anything worthwhile. The Fallout 3 "Please Stand By" screen pops up, after which Geoff's seat is now occupied by a smirking Yazy as an unseen Geoff gives an increasingly distorted recommendation for New.

The BEST Anime of Fall 2022

• After initially discussing the Animator's Dormitory, an organization he supports, he tries to use that as a segway into Do It Yourself!!, only for a hand holding a watergun to come in from off-screen and threaten him into talking about Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury instead.

The WORST ANIME of 2022

• When bringing up the animated adaptation of The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, which won the "Worst Anime of 2022" and "Most Disappointing" categories, Geoff is so flush with rage over what the anime did to a work by one of his favorite mangaka that he loses his composure and starts channeling The Angry Video Game Nerd's Toilet Humor. As he starts his rant, the "censor box" option from Brütal Legend pops up, turning it into a Cluster Bleep-Bomb.
• At the end of the video, Geoff worries that the Biscuit Hammer anime has ruined any chance for an adaptation of Spirit Circle, but he says that if it does happen, he'll rescind the award and retroactively give it to his runner-up choice, FreakAngels, because it's his award show and he can do what he wants.

HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Winter 2023

• Geoff gives a lot of praise for ONIMAI: I'm Now Your Sister! as, despite its initial trashy appearance, it has a very strong and emotional core plot. However, he has to cut himself off and start loudly denouncing it because the "Trash Inspector" is visiting and might revoke his establishment's permit if they're found serving something with too much artistic and nutritional content.
• Geoff explains that the plan of the secret evil organisation in The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World is "murdering small children and draining the magic juice out of their skulls, so that they then can inject it into the magic center of their own brain." Said evil organisation's name is revealed to be "Eugenics".
  Geoff (as Superintendent Chalmers): (while holding a skull in his hand) And you call your evil organization "Eugenics", despite the fact that you're clearly practicing phrenology.
  Principal Skinner: Y— Uh... You know, the... One thing I should... Excuse me for one second.
• Geoff does not mince words. He is not just disgusted, but downright horrified by My Life as Inukai-san's Dog and its subject matter, to the point where he says that someone from his family could walk in on him watching Bible Black, and he would it find a lot less embarrassing than if they caught him watching this show.
  • Any time he shows footage of the racier Fanservice elements of the various anime in question, he blurs the footage and adds a caption that says "Uncensored version on Patreon". For My Life as Inukai-san's Dog, the caption instead says "I'm NOT uncensoring this one."
• Due to its slow pace and the bland, overly-idealized romance between the two main leads, Geoff describes The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten as "a rom-com for anyone who ever thought Kimi ni Todoke was too fast and exciting".

An Unhinged Harem Christmas

• Geoff starts this roast of Love Hina's Christmas special by describing the plot and then the various love interests, most of whom easily slot into typical female anime character archetypes. Kaolla Su, however, can only be described by Geoff as follows:
  Geoff: Imagine if you stuffed every Indian stereotype, plus a lot of other stereotypes, into a Halloween parody middle school uniform, then fed it an entire brick of cocaine.
• Geoff compares Naru to the "original tsundere, the Grinch."
• The climax of the special has Naru tell Keitaro, on national television no less, that she wants to be with him forever, only for the ending to hit the Reset Button so things are back they way they were for the main series. The recreation of Geoff's original reaction to this ends with a pop as his testicles literally explode from being blue balled.
  • Geoff reassures viewers that his testicles did not explode this time as he innoculated himself to the effects in advance by watching some shoujo romance only to suddenly realize his audience had no such protection.
    Geoff: I, uh... probably should have warned you first, though. My bad. Merry Christmas?

HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Spring 2023

• Summoned to Another World for a Second Time is awarded with a trash can full of inexplicably printed and framed e-mails between isekai co-workers. The only fully visible one is KonoSuba apologizing to The Vision of Escaflowne for antics at a recent office party that would have been perfectly normal in its anime but here ended in a restraining order. Said e-mail also opens with an "uwu" and ends with an "owo".
• I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too:
  • Geoff is astounded by the anime's blatant self-indulgence. The rating it receives has to be censored because the five-alarm dumpster fire is triggered by friction heat from the author furiously masturbating his self-insert protagonist.
  • He also notes that several scenes of the protagonist doing something impressive in public literally end with everyone clapping, resulting in the Youtube chapter being titled "And Then The Whole Other World Clapped".

Anime We Wish Stayed Dead

• Geoff ordinarily refuses to admit that The Promised Neverland Season 2 existed, but for the sake of this video he makes an exception. However that's only possible because Yazy just had her wisdom teeth pulled and so can't shout over him until he gives up. She does however sit next to him and groan in protest.
• After completing his segment on Neverland, Geoff admits he'd maybe like to see the series get a Brotherhood-style reboot/reimagining.
  [the monkey's paw curls]
  Geoff: I said "Maybe"! Fucking paw...

HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Summer 2023

• The sponsor ad read is woven into a skit right before the main content of the video, where he would get written up by the "Trash Inspector" (played by Yazi) for wearing the sponsor's merch, which is unfitting for the trash joint. Geoff points out the Trash Inspector is also wearing their merch, and leverages this to bribe her with more of the sponsor merch to get out of trouble.
• He starts the video going into Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead and excitedly talks about it in a manner unlike the usual Hottest Trash series... before preparing to go into a "five-hour video essay about the evils of capitalism", losing his train of thought, and then going back on track by talking about zombie violence "in an apolitical way, of course!"
• His discussion of Am I Actually the Strongest? is dripping in his disbelief that the Lazy Bum protagonist is not willing to go on the otaku's dream adventure line "that went from zero to t*tty s*cking b*by f*cking in five minutes flat". He'd rather recommend Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero for a series with a lazy protagonist.
• Geoff understands that one of the entries is actually called Liar Liar, but because the second "liar" is mirrored, he deliberately calls it "Liar raiL."
• Geoff wants to compliment Rent-A-Girlfriend's third season for adapting the arc that originally gave him hope that there would finally be progress, only to remember that the story (based on the manga thus far) is doomed to undo all its progress. He describes the new character Mini as "a simp for Rent-A-Girlfriend itself" and the perfect Audience Surrogate, and is about to commend her as an impressively brazen way to push the plot forward, but once again reminds himself that it's not going anywhere anytime soon. The "trash rating" is what at first appears like supposedly perfectly normal, empty trashcan, but upon closer inspection, it turns that it actually appears to be bottomless, it's emitting oppressive heat, and if you listen closely it sounds like it is emanating distant screams...
  • Geoff makes an aside to explain that he considers the character of Mini Yaemori to be "honestly, one of the most gaudy, self-indulgent things I've ever seen a harem author write." Cut to Geoff staring directly into the camera with a disturbed expression on his face and declaring in a dead serious tone: "The implications of that sentence should terrify you."

Shonen Power Systems Explained

• Geoff eventually cuts off his more general discussion of modern manga because the video's already approaching an hour in length and if he keeps adding more it will just keep going, as the Long List he begins to read demonstrates.
  Geoff: [as the Abyss appears behind him] Look, this topic is simply a bottomless pit. And we gotta stop somewhere lest we dive so deep there's no coming back. Wait, shit, do relics count as— no! Stop it, Geoff! Focus!

The BEST Anime of Fall 2023

• Geoff starts off listing the many big name returning series, only to stumble to a crawl as he realizes The Seven Deadly Sins, a series to which he dedicated an entire video to roast for its many problems, has a new spinoff series.
  Geoff: [haunted] It's not over. It's never over. It's not over! It's never over! It's not over! It's ne—!

The Dumbest Death Game Anime (aka. The Roast of King's Game)

• Before getting into the review proper, Geoff puts out a trigger warning for mention of sexual trauma since the anime is very intent on showing off how dark and edgy it is. To drive that point home, Geoff mentions that "[the anime's] dad even let it see Hellraiser".
• Geoff is forced to only describe the more gruesome content instead of showing it because of the YouTube censors. He says if you're not watching the Patreon version to just imagine the hanged students as "terrible MS Paint fanart of Doki Doki Literature Club!". As he says this, the death scenes in question behind him are censored by some live-action footage of adorable guinea pigs.
  • The censoring extends to him merely describing some of the deaths, too, by inserting a voice-over of himself. At one point, this leads to Shouta, who's gotten the order to command any of his classmates to do anything he wants, to tell a classmate who'd slept with his girlfriend (which, due to how the titular game works, would've literally killed them both had they not gone through with it) to "Luigi's Mansion [him]self and go to a nice farm upstate."^note In the original Luigi's Mansion game, there was a graphical glitch that made Luigi's shadow stand on the wall detached from his body, which made it look like he was hanging from the ceiling. Thus, in this instance, "Luigi's Mansion oneself" is turned into an Unusual Euphemism for committing suicide by hanging. Later on, when said character is compelled to hang himself anyway as punishment for not doing so as ordered, his dead body is censored with a screenshot from the game in question.
    • When his body is found, only his dangling feet and a puddle of urine are shown...and then the censored Youtube version replaces the scene of his dead body shown in full with a clip of fluffy, adorable kittens while the anime’s audio keeps playing in the background.
• During the scene where Nobuaki runs into the ocean while despairing over his childhood friend Nami committing suicide by drowning herself, Geoff notices that the animators just superimposed live-action water into the scene instead of actually animating any themselves, which immediately reminds him of the infamous live-action combine harvester scene in KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World.
• The anime gets so ludicrous and over-the-top with the characters' deaths that Geoff at one point describes it as "Final Destination if its parents were cousins"…a phrase that goes from already being hilarious to outright hysterical since the prequel manga reveals that this is actually a pretty accurate description of how the King’s Game started in the first place.^note To make a long, convoluted story short and just as convoluted: The village where the King’s Game originated had an urn that housed some kind of super-poison/virus made from the blood of 32 venomous insects who fought to the death. Natsuko and a guy named Kazunari, who lived in the village, were cousins who fell in love and wished to marry, but the rest of the village wouldn’t allow it. In a fit of rage, Natsuko knocked over the urn, spilling the contents and infecting herself and eventually the rest of the village with it, which started the King's Game through hand-written letters. Natsuko actually died from this, but Kazunari, who was the only survivor, managed to get her revived by somehow adding that as a stipulation to the game.
• Geoff quickly explains Ria's tragic backstory in shorthand, convinced that YouTube would immediately demonetize the video if he named anything out loud. Needless to say, her father did some very bad things to her, which the anime then proceeds to imply through some still frames of various S&M related objects. Geoff's immediate reaction is to freak out over how explicit and potentially YouTube-unfriendly this could be, but then he pauses and studies the frame when he notices something rather unusual amongst the sex toys.
  Geoff: WOAH, MAN! HOLD IT! Jeez, dude, we were, like, three frames away from a yellow dollar... [notices some fidget spinners among the sex stuff] sign... there... [studies the spinners for a bit, then turns to the camera with a concerned look on his face] What are the fidget spinners for...?
• Geoff is dumbfounded that Aimi would dare save Natsuko's life after Natsuko just tried to smash her hand with a rock because Aimi believes that their previous friendship trumps everything. He then realizes that by the show's own twisted logic, Aimi's actions make perfect sense because...
  Geoff: People do crazy shit when they're traumatized! It's not bad writing! Fuck you!
• "The funniest thing possible" tends to be said by Geoff as a Running Gag whenever the anime has a particularly Narmy moment.
• Towards the end, Geoff reveals that he was Evil All Along and that if you don't share the video, you'll die à la The Ring. Much like the anime, he still can't keep his lore straight. He even changes the number of people you have to share it with mid-sentence to get more views!

HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Fall 2023

• Right off the bat, Geoff addresses the difference between "trash" and "garbage", and illustrates it by using The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You as the first entry (and thumbnail). He leads into the conversation by addressing those who regard the manga as "peak writing" that shouldn't belong in this video:
  "Trash heaps have peaks too."
• While talking about The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, he compares it to Hotel Transylvania for their rules about soulmates. It then cuts to the musical number at the end of the movie, only that Dracula sings the anime's OP song once he takes the mic.
• Geoff describes A Girl and Her Guard Dog as "Bunny Drop, but it removes the heartwarming family story and skips straight to the grooming."
• The protagonist of A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life deliberately takes an underpowered build and a mixture of unusual skills so that he won't be sought out by other players and can enjoy a solo experience without the stress of burdening anyone. Then, through a series of Contrived Coincidences, his selected skills have synergies that the playerbase somehow hasn't discovered that make him really strong in combat, and he's the only player who's looked into the crafting system. All this gradually and audibly wears down on Geoff's patience.
• Geoff gets ready to talk about Undead Unluck, but he can't, because Disney and Hulu not only have poorly marketed the show, but haven't made it legally available to watch in Canada. Thus, the trash rating (a box of dead rats) goes to Disney themselves for denying him that opportunity.
• Geoff goes over the synopsis of Butareba by tossing darts at a dartboard to fill in the blanks for the Reincarnated as a Non-Humanoid template.
• Ragna Crimson follows Ragna, a teenage dragon hunter, who travels with and looks after Leonica, a 12-year-old Child Prodigy hunter; while this would be heartwarming on paper, Geoff notes that it gets kind of uncomfortable when this extends to how he bathes with her and sleeps in the same bed.
  "Wow, all this modern technology and they still haven't invented child protection services."
• While looking over Berserk of Gluttony and its elements ("corrupt holy knights", "outcast heroes themed around the Seven Deadly Sins", "boring and stat-based magic system", "horrible writing") Geoff starts getting flashbacks to a suppressed memory before brushing it off.

2023's BEST, WORST & Most CURSED Anime

• Geoff explains he has ranked the eleven best anime of the year because it's one more than ten. And also because he has no self-control. He then asks Vinland Saga fans not to get angry for him not including the series as he hasn't kept up-to-date on the series.
  Geoff: Please don't get too caught up on judging my taste for that one glaring omission. I know it should be. You should be judging me for what I did put on the list. [Hakari smacks Karane with her breasts in the background] You know now that I say that, it might have been a mistake to start this with pure unadultered harem trash like The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, but I already wrote this sentence so no going back now.
• Sometimes, it's the small things. When Geoff gets to his pick for the 3rd Worst Anime of the Year:
  Geoff: (in the exact same tone he would introduce an anime) Liar Liar is a 1997 Hollywood comedy starring Jim Carrey as Fletcher Reede. A filthy, lying lawyer, who— Wait... Sorry, my mistake. (clears throat) Liar Rail is...
• Geoff introduces the "Most Cursed Anime" segment this year, which covers anime that are, for the most part, just really awkward to recommend despite also being good in their own right^note The exception being My Life as Inukai-san's Dog, which he does not consider good due to its content.. He was inspired to create this as an excuse to sneaking in a twelfth best anime of the year with the second season of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation.

HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Winter 2024

• Geoff warns that two of the entries this season are so pungent they may be too much for some to handle. Part of his job is to make sure the guests of Chez Garbage are properly warned and the restaurant is free of liability.
• In addition to the Relax-o-Vision clips covering the raunchiest parts on Youtube, the video also has a Gag Censor in the form of the Monetization Fairy: an obese red fairy with the Youtube "removed video" face and a coin over its groin.
• After the back-to-back five dumpster entries of Gushing Over Magical Girls and Chained Soldier, Geoff ponders a final recommendation but decides it's not needed.
  Geoff: But frankly, if those main courses weren't enough for you, that... scares me a little. Get help.

The Roast Of Happy Science

With nine movies worth of cult propaganda, there are a lot of laughs to be had at Happy Science's expense. Multiple or All

• You could make a Drinking Game out of how many times Geoff has to apply a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer to a certain aspect of the movies that the cult plays entirely straight.
• "I'm Helen Keller" is used from the second video onwards to point out how ridiculous these movies can get.

An Actual Cult Made These Anime

• The "Volume 1" video starts off strong, with a discussion of the Happy Science cult's first feature-length anime (Hermes: Winds of Love). The fact that this chapter of the review is titled "Hermes: Winds of Divorce" should clue you into how its Reincarnation Romance plot turned out in real life.
  So it sure would be awkward if [cult leader Ryuho Okawa and his then-wife, Kyoko] ever got divorced! In 2011! And then Kyoko was excommunicated from Happy Science for revealing to the press that, despite their claims of over 10 million members worldwide, the real number is closer to 30,000. And then their son also disowned him and then started publicly bashing the cult.
• The two leads, Hermes and Aphrodite, have a son together named Eros, which isn't even close to accurate. ^ExplanationIn some accounts Eros, as the embodiment of love, is Aphrodite's son, due to the belief that love is a result of beauty, while other accounts have him as a primordial entity created alongside the embodiment of Dawn and Night, without explicit parents. He is never depicted as a child of Hermes, who is actually one of the younger Olympians. He then points out that there is, in fact, a mythological child of Hermes and Aphrodite, but that the far-right cult producing these movies probably didn't want to deal with the implications of having a character named Hermaphroditus.
• Apparently, in Happy Science, Satan is literally an alien cat boy (which isn't an inaccurate description, as he's an alien with pointy ears and a long tail).
  • In Volume 2, Geoff laments that part of his audience was lost as converts of cat boy Satan.
    CouchPotatoCNPB: ...Okay, hold on, let's just hear them out
    doot doot: hmmm going to hell doesn't seem too bad now
    Geoff: That was a big oversight on my part.
• The third movie triples the number of things that Hermes' staff can do from the first movie!
• Geoff notes that the cult's interpretation of Prometheus is "obviously the bad kind of self-proclaimed god."

An Actual Cult Made THE CRAZIEST ANIME!!!

• The very first spoken line in "Volume 2" is "I'm Helen Keller". No, it doesn't make any more sense if you've watched Volume 1.
  • Also from the intro is Geoff showing that Happy Science now claims that Star Wars is real.
• When the kids in the fourth movie have to have powerful dreams in order to pass into the sixth dimension, Roberto initially thinks horny things. Geoff's response is to slap the "Go To Horny Jail" Dog on frame to bonk Roberto.
• Geoff's reaction to a bloody pit where those who were too lustful in life now spend their time having an orgy until they realize just how disgusting their situations truly are? "Sounds nice!"
• The description of the climax of The Laws of Eternity. Yes, the film pronounces their names like that, and yes, this is basically what happens.
  Geoff: At this point, he [Ryuta] basically goes Super Saiyan, and the glow of his hair reaches all the way up to Heaven, calling down a giant, angelic mecha to pokébattle Bihimoss on his behalf. Which seems to turn the tide, but then Hisler busts out a Z-move, and his heck pokémon starts belching fire... By T-posing to assert dominance, Yuko summons a golden shield for the God Gundam, which in turn inspires Ryuta to summon a golden sword to protect her, and the light of them both is enough to blow away Bihimoss and vaporize both Hisler and Niches.
• During his review of The Rebirth of Buddha, Geoff Crosses the Line Twice while commenting about the plot point involving "the one afterlife punishment Jeffrey Epstein's not getting" being so harsh according to Happy Science theology.
• Also, him trying to sum up Rebirth's plot, which involves a man falsely claiming to be Buddha reincarnated, only for the actual reincarnated Buddha to be revealed as a blatant Expy of Happy Science's founder, Ryuho Okawa. The sheer, blatant hypocrisy on display leaves him briefly stunned.
  Geoff: Holy shit, the cahones on this cult.
• "One of the morals of this movie is that if your boyfriend's cult is causing friction in your relationship, you should also join that cult, and then everything will be fine. But don't join a bad cult though."
• Geoff takes Buddha's claim that he will be reborn in the modern day to "build a Buddha land" to mean he's either planning to build a Buddhist theocracy... or possibly a theme park.
• The sixth movie's portion has a couple of quips about the American president in The Mystical Laws, who is Black and Nerdy and portrayed as something of a bleeding heart. Geoff admits that he could hypothetically be based on "a different black president" from Barack Obama—which he illustrates with a photo of Justin Trudeau.
• Him playing the famous "are we the baddies?'' clip while discussing the obvious China stand-in's new government using Swastikas as their iconography despite their ideology not having any apparant connections to "Hisler". He even censors the swastikas with a low-res cat head^note The cat in question is actually Geoff's cat Kuro, who passed away shortly after this video was made for the rest of the video while wondering why the writers didn't make the Big Bad a follower of Catboy Satan instead of using the one symbol that justifies anyone just punching you... "in Minecraft!" (Clip of Emperor Tathagata Killer with a Creeper texture over his mask.)
  • The Chapter of the video refers to The Mystical Laws as The Law of Godwin.
• Geoff snickering when the Macguffin is revealed to be under Lake Titicaca in Peru.
• The Emperor ends up getting so enraged while talking about how he hates God and religion that he "starts jizzing Force Lightning."
  Geoff: As an Atheist, I hate it when that happens.

An Actual Cult Made Bootleg Avengers Anime

• Every time The Corruption makes an appearance, Geoff decides to call it the Splooge.
• The last three movies show a gradual shift from reptilians being people eating monsters to humanity's once-allies and eventual friends, with the new evil enemy being Dahar, a spider alien who wants to rule over the world. Or, as one commenter put it:
  SilvarusLupus: I like that they went "yeah the lizards are okay now, but fuck spiders"
• In the seventh movie, Geoff shows a clip where the background dialogue of one scene is actually somewhat believable, where the students make actually funny quips and halfway believable gossip. He then proceeds to immediately dissuade his audience from thinking that this was any good writing by showing a scene where some students start making fun of Tyler by saying that his girlfriend's little sister will become his little sister once Tyler marries his girlfriend. The line "his little sister once they get married" is repeated multiple times throughout the video just to hammer home how ridiculous it sounds.
• Reptilians feature prominently in the movies, but Geoff wonders if the studio even knew what a "reptile" is given how many "reptilians" are actually mammalian.
• The teenage heroes, "Team Future" astrally project and meet an alien Bee Person who had been invisibly observing their Plucky Comic Relief, Eisuke. Geoff points out that yes, the bee is played by Spongebob himself, Tom Kenny — and yes, "SpongeBee SquareThorax" had been watching the comic relief guy masturbate.
  Talking Bee: (as clip art of a grinning, winking Spongebob giving a thumbs up slides on-screen) I won't tell anyone what I saw! (Eisuke gasps in horror.)
  • Geoff also admits that he thinks the Talking Bee's reasoning for spying is somewhat understandable. That reason? Watching anime. Yeah, not surprising at all that Geoff would sympathize.
• Geoff initially keeps referring to Dahar as "Nagito" because he looks suspiciously similar to him. Then, when Dahar transforms into his true form and sprouts sharp teeth, bulging eyes and goes into Evil Sounds Raspy mode, Geoff has a startling epiphany...
  Geoff: Wait a minute! Those teeth, that voice... he's not Nagito at all! He's... Nux Taku! AND he can turn into a giant spider!? I just found a new worst nightmare!
• Geoff predicted that the hot Reptilian queen Zamza from the eighth movie (a morally dubious half-dragon woman with a propensity for smacking people around, who walks around in a Stripperific outfit, who angsts about whether or not she's a good person, and who has a Tsundere relationship with the main character that culminates in her First Kiss) would quickly become his audience's favorite character. Sure enough...
  Fdajax: I choose to believe in Happy Science not because of its teachings but to believe in the existence of Dragon Queen Mommy
  The Glorious Wizard: ...Dragon Ladys [sic] are hot.
  Mist: Dragon Mommy was Hot not going to apologize thank you El Cantare
• The Reptilian Mooks bringing Ryuto to Zamza while chanting "anima" over and over again. However, thanks to the wonky voice acting, it sounds far more like "enema". Cue the word "enema" flashing onscreen every time they say it for around ten seconds.
  Geoff: I don't ever want to get interrogated by those guys.
  • Happens again when Dahar starts telling Zamza about how good the human's anima tastes. By that point, Geoff is convinced they're pronouncing it that way on purpose.
    Geoff: Okay, I know from the subs that he's supposed to be saying "anima", but... he's definitely not.
• After Zamza defeats a time-travelling Ryuto and declares that he will be her servant, Geoff pauses to plug his video about whether time travel stories counted as isekai, saying "Now you have your answer!"
• The ninth movie has the main character Yaizael beating up several soldiers who mock her during training, and Geoff wonders if this is some weird kink about muscular women beating men up. Several scenes later, Geoff's suspicions are confirmed when she throws a man into a table.

Public Service Anime

• The series itself as a whole is a satirical look at various anime genres and tropes disguised as a Public Service Announcement.
• How to Survive a Harem Anime spends some of its runtime bluntly telling the audience that they're an idiot for getting into this kind of situation in the first place.
  • At one point, the video warns you that your little sister might start exhibiting the tropes they've told you. Their advice for when this happens?
    "DON'T FUCK YOUR SISTER! SHE'S YOUR SISTER! Now, you may discover that your sister is adopted. She may actually be your stepsister, or your cousin. In such special circumstances, STILL DON'T HAVE SEX WITH HER YOU DEGENERATE GARBAGE HUMAN BEING! Jesus H. Christ, there are half a dozen, beautiful, not at all related to you women in your life, right now. What's wrong with you?!"
  • He also advises you to clench your fists to avoid accidental groping with the caveat that "You will be punching a lot of tits."
  • If you need advice on getting out of the country, consult the previous video in the series: "So you think you're a Zeppeli."
• From the Mail Order Space Waifus:
  Narrator: Just to listen to this testimony from a satisfied customer!
  "Satisfied Customer": I CAN'T GET AWAY FROM HER! HELP ME!!! PLEASE—
• From Your Transforming Body and You, the advice on image training in order to get a more powerful transformation:
  "What you need to do is imagine your new, more powerful form as an object, something you can hold onto. Then you need to imagine yourself doing just that - reaching deep inside yourself, grabbing hold of your new form, and pulling until it emerges from your butt. Nobody knows exactly why, but the more it feels like your new power is being pulled directly out of your ass, the more likely it will be to turn the tide of battle."
  • The film's advice for frustrated Lancer characters.
    "If you or someone you know is considering going down such a path, you'd do well to watch and heed the warnings in our other PSA, Winners Don't Use the Power of Evil. But it can also help to simply remember that in the end, this imbalance goes both ways, and you almost certainly have an advantage over your friend in other important life skills, such as studying, attracting members of the opposite sex, or having parents who are still alive."
• Amestris Travel Guide
  • Fuhrer King Bradley is exactly the kind of guy you'd expect to have a title like Fuhrer.
    "The people of Amestris love the Bradley family — or else!"
  • Overall, the propaganda-newsreel tone of the narration, and the not-very-subtle hints about the true nature of the setting, combine to produce about 15 minutes of solid Black Comedy. (The inevitable Shou Tucker jokes are only the tip of the iceberg.)
    "...Walk about during the day and you'll see the city's streets bustling with activity, its people going about their business without even the slightest worry that danger might be lurking right beneath their feet. Because it's not!"
    "...And all the military asks in return for this generosity is that these alchemists work toward the betterment of their fellow man! (And occasionally murder him when he gets uppity.)"
    "...And you don't have to go much further south to reach the recently-annexed province of Ishval, where— [Footage Removed by Request from King Bradley] Nothing happened. Also nobody lives there. Don't go there."
    "...Now you might be wondering why a country would have so many amputees that an entire city's economic output could revolve solely around the design and production of prosthetics. And the answer to that question is: Don't think about it."
• The Anime Dad's Guide to Child Neglect
  • Child psychologist Gendō Ikari and his best selling book "Get Out of Your Head and Into the Goddamn Robot".
• Isekai Anime Survival Guide
  • The video starts with some possibilities as to how one might be sent to another world:
    "It's a day just like any other. You're out for a walk, minding your own business, perhaps headed to your local convenience store, when a truck barrels through a red light and crashes into you. Or maybe you're sitting at a bus stop, playing one of those new fangled electronic games on your smart telephone when, all of a sudden, a truck swerves off the street and into the bench. Or perhaps you've wandered into your bathroom, only to find your local tsundere in there naked; in a fit of rage, she batters your head, leaving you to drown in the bathtub, and then a truck crashes through the wall and runs over it."

What's in a Waifu?

Why Inosuke Is Best Boy

• Geoff's Bait-and-Switch, making the video seem like it's going to be about the agreed-upon queen best girl of the series Nezuko... but then reveal it's about Inosuke. Geoff reasons that Inosuke is the safer choice because he understands how protective people are over Nezuko.

Chika vs Kaguya

• The conclusion is a rather heartwarming compliment to the manga/show's complex writing validating all of its waifus as major contenders for best girl. Since Geoff listing said waifus are done in a rather rapid-fire way, it's very easy to miss that he included Ishigami on the roll call.

Misc.

• Space Jam - American Isekai is a humorous analysis of the film as if it were an isekai entry, and constantly mixes the title to resemble known light novel titles as much as possible.
• "The GENIUS of Sonic's Aesthetic (Yes, Really)": At the end, Geoff admits that he made the entire video just to use the phrase "Double Vegeta Mickey Mouse", and the fact that the phrase makes perfect sense at that point as a description of the role of Shadow The Hedgehog in the franchise. See also, "Re-Mickey-Mouse-ification".
  • "Sonic fans combine the toony enthusiasm and horniness of anime fans with the deep-rooted nostalgic obsession and sexual repression of Disney people."
• "Jujutsu Kaisen's Back, Baby!" ends with Geoff grabbing a pad of "Outro Ideas" to determine how to end the video.
  Geoff: "Leave the camera running and pull a DarkSydePhil"... why did I write that?
• In "I Ranked EVERY Anime of Summer 2023", Geoff reaches Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout but discovers a small issue due to the main character's design.
  Geoff: I'm comfortable putting Atelier Thighza in the okay slot. Wait, what did I say? Atelier Thighza. Thighza. R-Y-Z-A. Thighza. I can't say it any different.
