    Let's Play: Silent Hill 
  • Phelous knows you're not supposed to insert Resident Evil references into a Silent Hill LP, but sometimes he just can't stop himself...
    Harry: *staring at a bloody wall where dogs were once chained up* "What the..? What is it?"
    Phelous: "Blood. Hope it's not Cheryl's blood."
  • And later...
    Cybil: "Have you got a gun?"
    Phelous!Harry: "I got a shotgu- oh, wait, no I don't."
  • He also spends a lot of time calling the Air Screamers names and yelling at them for coming out of nowhere and kicking him in the head and nicknames the Rompers "Humpers" due to their attack animation.
  • The Orgasmic Chainsaw was hilarious, too.
  • When Harry is trying to explain the Otherworld to Cybil, he dubs in "Must be on drugs" after every sentence.
  • When he's in the restroom (I believe that's where he was, anyway), and hears a child crying from offscreen: "SHUT UP!" His tone when he yells it is hilarious.

    Halloweenie 
  • His reviews as "Halloweenie". Everything. From the fake skull "mask", to the skull on his desk wearing a baseball hat and glasses (no doubt a reference to this picture he posted on Twitter), to the hamminess, to the Special Effects Failure, to the intentionally shoddy editing, and to the horrible "jokes".
    Halloweenie: They FUNSIZED my pumpkiiin! I'm lying, it's an orange. I don't know how to carve a pump- (straight to next cut)
    Halloweenie: For years we've been sold on these mini lies with the lie fun-size. Well, do you know what's fun to me? Killing pe- More Candy!

    Bootleg Zone videos 
  • For starters the Title Cards read: "The Bootleg Zone... with the Phaylus!" A shoddy knockoff host for the show about shoddy knockoffs.
  • His reaction to the "Pure Evil" Turtle from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-esque Turtle Fighters.
  • After Phelous points out a red splotch near the mouth of one of the Prodigy Pets, he performs a little skit about Pikachu walking through "Pokémon Land"note  and getting attacked by a vampire.
    Vampire: Vampirism! It's super effective!
    • Performing a Prodigy Pet Poke-Rap...with just Pikachu.
  • Acting out an episode of Power Rangers with the Turbo Galaxy Rangers.
  • Bat Hero acts utterly pathetic and whiny as a crimefighter, to the point where he even mistakes other crimefighters for criminals. After he kills the Turbo Galaxy Rangers and unwittingly helps Krang steal their transporter, all of the bootleg toys that Phelous reviewed up to that point have Bat Hero lynched.
    Bat Hero: "Hmm, my bat sense is tingling."
    Blue Turbo Galaxy Ranger: "That's Spider-Man!"
  • The Ninja Turtles deciding to beat Shredder...with guns.
  • Removing Leo's kimono in Karate Turtles Warriors complete with sexy music, followed by:
    "Nakedness in a half shell! Flasher power!"
  • Part of The Stinger of the Flying Ranger Bootleg Zone video. Flying Ranger Spidey laments that he's the only Flying Ranger when Goku appears.
    Spider Ranger: Boy, it sure is lonely being the only Flying Ranger in town.
    Goku: Perhaps I could help, Spider Ranger? *chuckles*
    Spider Ranger: Goku, that would be great! But you don't have wings.
    Goku: Uh, I'm a Saiyan, I can fly without wings.
    Spider Ranger: Yeah, but you're really supposed to have wings to be a Flying Ranger.
    Goku: I got an idea!
    *gets shot with a Little Pluckies Ninja Protects, and reappears with a halo and angel wings*
    Spider Ranger: Hey, that actually worked! Now you're a Flying Ranger, too!
    Goku: Ha ha, nope, I'm dead!
    *ascends to Heaven*
    Spider Ranger: NOOOOO!
  • Krang congratulates Steffi Love, the Glitter Diva, for humiliating Bat Hero, calling her more evil than Bebop and Rocksteady. Steffi admits that it doesn't take much to act more evil than them. Bebop and Rocksteady try to counterargue by boasting that at least they haven't eaten any computer chips that day.
    • After Phelous discovers that Steffi Love has her own theme song, he makes a music video for it, which consists mostly of Steffi beating people up and hanging out with villains.
  • Titanic-Bot features Phelous desperately trying and hilariously failing to be sensitive to the tragedy, which gets more and more difficult while 'trying to see if this thing floats... d'oh I did it again!' Eventually he just decides to run with it:
    "How big of an asshole would I be if I put ICE in the water? Haha! (Beat) I'm doing a TITANIC THAT TURNS INTO A TRANSFORMER. It's too late for dignity now."
    • Bat Hero and Steffi Love try to use the Titanic-Bot to re-enact Rose "flying" in Titanic (1997), but fall face-first into the water due to it being too small for Bat Hero to stand on.
  • The whole dang Thomas Transformers review.
  • The skit at the end of the Specialman review. Specialman just sings his name and rams into criminals, until he rams into a "sinking" Titanic-Bot and ends up in the hospital. Then an exasperated Bat Hero shows up, and when Specialman points out that Bat Hero is wanted by the police, Robert Cop takes care of it after Specialman rams into Bat Hero and flatlines.
  • Phelous and Lupa referring to a red-clad Batman and a black-clad Spider-Man as "SpiderBat and ManMan", respectively.
    • Since ManMan can't hold his web-shield properly, Phelous and Lupa try to find an alternate use for it. First Phelous sticks it in the hole in ManMan's behind, and spins it around while laughing and playing circus music. Then, Lupa puts it in the hole in ManMan's head, and she and Phelous refer to it in the rest of the review as a hairpiece.
  • The Spider-Man Motorcycle review is just magical, particularly the siren. Its 'siren' is "La La Love On My Mind" by Anne Wisbourn, and instead of racing around it bobs up and down like a very slow mechanical bull.
  • Phelous decides to review a bootleg Pokémon game, referred to as Pokémon: Strange Gold. It's actually Pokémon Lost Silver, complete with Phelous succumbing to Lavender Town Syndrome.
  • "INFINITE PLEASURE!" *Cuts to him looking at the toy sadly*
    • From the same review:
      [Dinosaur Invincibility] broke twice over the course of this video and I wasn't even rough on it (cut to Phelous tapping it with a hammer).
  • The Filly Witchy review is especially funny to Bronies since Phelous may be secretly One of Us.
  • Baltard: The biggest loser on Planet Ferror!
  • The first impression of the Super Heroes version of Spider-Man and the black splotch on his right eye.
    Phelous!Spider-Man: (in funny voice) Eek! I'm really surprised at something! SURPRISER-MAN! Why am I winking?! (screams)
    • Same goes for the first impression of Superman and his poorly painted "neck beard"
    Phelous!Superman: (in a lispy and funny voice) It's the style on Krypton, bitch! You grow hair on your neck and shave your face clean. You see, you stupid humans think I'm one of you, but guess what? I'm not, bitch!
  • In the Galaxy Cop video he points out the "Not for Children 3 and under logo" and makes reference to a Stuart Ashen joke, because people complained that he didn't use it in previous videos, even though he makes a valid point:
    They did at least add the warning and some symbols on the backside including Sad Onion, not my bit but apparently I have to say that!
  • After Phelous reads the boast on the Eye Catching Cartoon Motorcycle box, "Makes Children Lively and Lovely", he decides to test if it can also make him lovely. He taps the box, then dabs his face. When he doesn't appear to change, he laments that maybe he's too old for it to have any effect.
  • The Little Princess (Disney knockoff) doll set review goes off the rails almost immediately when Lupa notices Cinderella's halter-style top exposes most of her, uh, torso. They declare "Princesses Gone Wild!" and start yanking up their skirts... to disclose that their underwear is just a basketweave pattern on the plastic... cheerfully ignoring the fact that these are supposed to be little girl variant dolls. Suffice it to say the comments are filled with people wondering what kind of watchlist they're now on.
    • Since the Little Princess "Ariel" doll (aka "Fishtits") doesn't come with a human outfit, Phelous and Lupa realize that when she loses her lacy mermaid tail, she has to run around pantless, exposing her "butt weave". Lupa calls Fishtits "decent" after they put some mismatched shoes on her feet.
  • The Princess Doll review ends with Baywatching's Mitch having hilariously nonsensical encounters with the Disneyesque dolls.
  • The review of the Big Cock (a light-up rooster baby toy) (yes, really) features all the expected wildly immature jokes... until the reams of even more ridiculous Engrish on the box upstage them completely.
  • The mere existence of "iPhone iRon Man"—literally just a (surprisingly well-made) Iron Man figure with a silver-and-black variant paint job, the Apple logo on its chest and "5GS" just above its crotch. Yes, Phelous tries, and no, it doesn't make phone calls. It does however have a blue light in the centre of the logo, so there's that.
  • Phelous tries to follow up a size comparison between a New Style Ninja Tortoise, and two official TMNT figures, by putting them in a performance of "April-Locks and the Three Turtles", but it gets cut short when his April figure pulls a Screw This, I'm Outta Here.
  • In the Galaxy Heroes video he points out how deep the "Galaxy Hole" goes: "So with the theory that this figure (a very emaciated-looking Iguana with a messed-up face) was a third-string figure and the reason they were copying the molds is that they weren't the same company rather than they just lost their original molds, this guy is a bootleg (Chinese Galaxy Heroes) of a bootleg (second-string original Galaxy Heroes after the original molds were lost) of a bootleg (original Galaxy Heroes) of a knockoff (Galaxy Fighters) of a knockoff (Galaxy Warriors)."
  • The skit at the end of the Mighty Car review has a hilariously bad plush of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Phelous doing a "It was me, Austin!" moment with Steffi Love admitting she killed Bat Hero.
    Phelous!Austin: I'm in trouble! What? I need help! What? And if I can find him, I can hire the Mighty Car!
  • The ''Dragon Ball Z Budokai Set'' is so bad, that according to Phelous, the figures emit an odor of death. Which leaves him rather... unimpressed.
    • The figures themselves are absolutely hideous; deformed, out of scale, splitting at the seams, and the colors are for the most part wrong. Special mentions go to Super Saiyan Gohan-colored Piccolo and the Trunks with a face melting into his chest.
  • While better than the Budokai set, the ''Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Set'' is still full of hilariously bad figures; including a Krillin in a green gi with a split down his head, a giant Kid Goku with a flesh-colored tail, a very chipper regular-haired Super Saiyan Goku with black eyebrows, a Super Saiyan Vegito with melting earrings, a blue-haired Gotenks with a Christmas-colored super ghost kamikaze attack, and a Super Saiyan Vegeta with blue eyebrows.
    • Any time he mentions Kid Goku's flesh-colored tail.
    • The smirking official Vegeta figure he keeps showing.
    • This. Just this:
      Phelous: And my best guess for why they painted Krillin's clothes green, is they probably mixed him up with Tien.
      Phelous!Vegeta: Is that okaaayyyy?
      Phelous!Tien: As a matter of fact, it isn't.
      Phelous!Green Krillin: Woah! Vegeta and Tien are fighting again. Mondo cool.
      Phelous!Krillin: Hey, you wanna lay off the mondo cool stuff?
    • When Kid Goku's stick is revealed to be broken: "Aw man! I want the magic stiiiiiick!"
    • During the Weirdness rating: "Kid Goku compared to the rest of the set is a giant, and split-head Krillin barely knows who he is. There's also something just really wrong about that stupid Super Saiyan Goku."
    • The ending skit has Yamcha lose to the bootleg Uubuu.
  • Finishing off the Dragon Ball bootlegs, is the ''Dragon Ball Z Korean Set'', which features dirty, sticky, and doofy-looking figures of Goku, Piccolo, and Vegeta.
    • The description on the back of the box:
      "Gokou is the greatest hero of the 20th century. Gokou is a member of the Saiyan, the strongest soldier tribe in the vast universe. Do you know the secret of the seven magical balls named "Dragon Ball?"
    • Phelous referring to the figures as Larry, Curly, and Moe.
    • The bootleg Vegeta's face is very glum.
      Phelous!Vegeta: Too bad it's Sunday. I would've looked like less like an idiot tomorrow.
      • The official Vegeta figure that Phelous compares it to.
    • This bit of sarcasm from Phelous:
      Phelous: Doofy Korean bootleg Goku is absolutely perfect. No flaws, A+. [compares it to an official Goku figure] Oh, wait a second. They kind of screwed this up a little, didn't they?
    • While looking at some bootleg trading cards:
      "Here's a Goku, riding the magic nothing."
  • The review of the The Simpsons bootlegs.
    • The name of the bootlegs is just Simpsons with an extra N and S added to the end.
      • Also the tagline, "One family is very happy." Even though the figures look anything, but happy.
      Phelous: One family has looked into the face of death.
    • Phelous doing a Homer impression:
      "Ooo! Unlicensed figures... (drool noise)"
    • "So here they are, released from their tomb after many years. America's most reviled family, The Simpsonsns."
    • The voice he gives the Homer bootleg.
      • "Baldness is hereditary."
    • "These strung out Simpsonsns are straight from your nightmares."
    • "One family is very mummified."
  • In the ''Little Pluckies Ninja Protects'' review, the scream from Shredder after he is shot by Phelous, is quite hilarious.
  • Funny Toilet Guy, an incredibly lame and juvenile electronic toy of a rubber man sitting on a plastic toilet which plays fart sounds and a chorus of Hallelujah. Phelous makes no attempt to hide how much he despises the stupid thing and even starts repeatedly punching it in the face at one point.

    Miraculous Merchandise Zone 
  • His review of the deluxe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) action figures; which doubles as a massive Take That! to the Irate the 80s subseries from The Irate Gamer, copying mannerisms, review styles, bad economic logic, and rating the figures a Nostalgic Okay.
  • In his Pepsi Convoy (Optimus Prime) review he puts cans of various kinds of Pepsi (and a Dr. Pepper) on the toy's trailer:
    Phelous: (points and gestures at the toy) And now look what you did, you've just got me blathering on about Pepsis, way to go!
    Phelous/Convoy: Little does he know, that was my plan the whole time! Heh heh heh.
    Phelous: (cans are now gone) You know what, just for that... (puts a Coke can on the trailer)
    Phelous/Convoy: (shrieks in pain) Aaaaahhhh! (wheezy inhale) Power...fading...until the day...'til all colas are Pepsi.
  • His review of the Ghostbusters II Flip 'N' Fun Joke Book. The jokes and illustrations in it are so indescribably terrible, Phelous is often left either groaning, screaming, sobbing, or cackling insanely.
    • Of particular note are the illustrations of the Ghostbusters themselves, which are all varying degrees of Off-Model, with Egon faring the worst as a sort of generic anime protagonist-looking dude, and the knock-knock jokes, which the books calls rap-rap jokes.
  • In his review of the Mattel JuiceBox, Phelous plays around with the device's fast forward button and adds his own commentary to it:
    (over sped-up footage of Splinter's monologue) Wow, this is Splinter's best speech over!
    (over sped-up footage of a fight) (gibberish mocking the sped-up voices)! We hate you Shredder!
    • He decides to pull the cartridge out of the device without properly turning it off, resulting in the screen glitching for a second before the device goes blank.
      Oh! Didn't like that! Shut right off.

    Mortal Kombat: Conquest 

    Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm 
  • With a new series looking at a piece of Mortal Kombat media, of course SIRO: THE GREATEST MORTAL KOMBAT CHARACTER! makes a cameo or two.
  • Everybody hates Stryker!
  • While he never misses the chance to mock animation flubs, the crown jewel is when the animators accidentally forget to animate Jax's pants, just when Jax has a line about how he feels "naked and alone" without his metal arms. Cue Phelous joking that it's canon and Jax also has a metal dick.
  • Jaxfield Sits Around The House!note  Even better, his "fat" persona is a sprite from MKII of when Kitana's "Kiss of Death" makes an enemy inflate before exploding and Jaxfield's Speech Bubble has him "thinking" that "These Fat Jokes Are Wearing Thin".
  • The twin Running Gags of Nightwolf repeatedly tapping a random key on his keyboard offscreen (instead of doing anything to help the team), and Nightwolf saying "We've got a rip!" when people try to talk to him.

    Old Man Reads Creepypasta 
  • Old Man Reads Jeff the Killer has some laugh-worthy moments.
    • When the police abruptly show up in the prologue, stopping Jeff from stabbing a man, Old Man speculates that either Jeff is extremely slow or the neighbors are psychic.
    • Him suggesting that the "funny feeling" Jeff keeps getting is stuff like diarrhea or pregnancy.
    • Old Man eventually starts mocking the overuse of the word "ominous".
  • Sonic 2: Genocide City:
  • The Scariest Story in the Universe, released on April Fools' Day, which is actually a parody of creepypastas Phelan wrote that mocks creepypasta cliches such as describing something as "hyper-realistic" and an idiot protagonist playing a "cursed" game.
    • It satirizes creepypastas' tendency to frequently describe something as having lasted a certain amount of seconds or minutes and takes it up to eleven by having the narrator describe stuff in minutes and seconds simultaneously. At one point Writers Cannot Do Math is parodied with the narrator describes something as having lasted "2 minutes and 67 seconds".
    • Nothing weird actually happens in the video game, but the narrator thinks it is cursed due to making loose connections with his personal life and drawing absurd conclusions, such as thinking a dead dog is a reference to his dog getting taken away or a wheelchair being connected to how he saw someone in a wheelchair earlier in the day.

    Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation 
Running Gags
  • "I hate Splinter!": Played anytime the Turtles disrespect or are rude to Splinter (or the other way around). This happens jarringly often.
  • "Michelangelo is Brain Dead": Anytime Mikey does something stupid, it's accompanied by a dinky tune with a picture of him making a dumb face at the bottom of the screen.
  • "What a swinger!": Every time Venus gets certain phrases wrong.
  • Many of the show's fight scenes are accompanied by a kazoo rendition of the theme song from the 1990 TMNT movie.
  • Every time the Dragon Lord says something about eating the Turtles or vice versa, a photoshopped image of him with a beer gut often appears.
East Meets West Part 2
  • Phelous mocks the fact that Venus makes it from "Somewhere in China" to New York in less than a day with nothing getting in the way. This is accompanied by an image of her boarding a plane.
East Meets West Part 4
  • Phelous’ reaction to Leo deciding to do nothing in spite of the Dragon Lord making his intent to eat people clear.
  • This gem between Venus and Raphael:
    Venus: Raphael, think!
    Phelous!Raphael: I REFUSE to think!
  • "I'm Michelangelo! I say random things! LOL!"
East Meets West Part 5Silver and Gold
  • Phelous gets particularly annoyed with Michelangelo in this episode, so much so that at one point, the "Michelangelo Is Brain Dead" bit gets used twice in the span of ten seconds.
  • During a scene where Mikey is chasing one of Silver's goons while completely visible to the public, a pair of cops confront him guns drawn. Upon which Phelous edits the video so that the female cop shoots Mikey.
Turtles' Night Out
  • When a bunch of punks change the music for the animal rights rave, the song they play is "Skipping Stones".
    Phelous!Bonesteel: I hate music! I think it's the worst!
Meet Dr. Quease
  • Phelous keeps referring to Dr. Quease as Dr. Queef.
  • During Quease’s lecture Phelous gets annoyed by Quease continuing to point out the obvious and everyone being amazed, joking that he was kicked out of the National Science Academy for telling his peers that he was talking to them by making words come out of his mouth.
  • Phelous plays the dial-up sound whenever it’s mentioned that Quease has the internet in his brain.
  • When the infamous Special Effect Failure of Michelangelo’s cross-eyed face happens:
    Phelous!Michelangelo: (dimwit voice) I wonder if me eat brain cable it then me be smartereded!
    • Even better, future instances of the “Michelangelo is Brain Dead” gag will feature this face.
Truce or Consequences
  • Mikey claims that his radio show stinks, "in a good way", which becomes a Running Gag for the rest of the video.
  • The "Michelangelo is Brain Dead" gag gets a real workout in this video. Being used a whopping SIX times throughout the video.
  • Halloweenie makes a surprise appearance in the background of one scene.
    "Is this what I have to do to get a cameo these days? What a downgrade! In a good way!
  • Phelous lampshades the absurdity of Dragon Lord wearing a bib for eating upon greeting the rest of the Turtles.
    Dragon Lord: The reason I'm wearing my hand-crafted royal bib-
    Phelous!Dragon Lord: -is because I'm also a moron not to be taken seriously!
Unchain My Heart Part 2
  • At one point, Leo steals a sandwich from Mikey, prompting the latter to call him out for it. This results in the "Michelangelo is Brain Dead" bit to be mutated to feature Leo instead.
Unchain My Heart Part 3
  • Phelan is so utterly dumbfounded by a scene in which Bonesteel disguises himself as a chair, that Bonesteel is this episode's winner of the "Biggest Idiot" award, solely because of it.
Unchain My Heart Part 4
  • Early in the episode, after Mikey mockingly repeats Venus, the "Michelangelo is Brain Dead" bit gets mutated once again, this time into "Michelangelo is High?"
  • This bit from Splinter:
    "Chung I was a great magician, but he was a brilliant scientist!"
Like BrothersGoing Ape
  • The fact that this is the third episode in a row where Leo wins the "Biggest Idiot" award, and he's not even part of the main plot!
The Guest
  • The "Michelangelo is High?" bit returns, this time in response to Mikey saying what sounds like "the rain of a thousand bongs!"
The Good Dragon
  • The titular character brings Raph to a Christmas store, leading Phelous to declare this episode to be the sequel to We Wish You A Turtles Christmas.
    • Later, one of the fight scenes at the store is backed by one of the songs from said special.
  • "Dragon Lord is fat at heart~!"
Sewer Crash
  • During a scene of Silver meandering with his two stupid henchmen, Phelous plays the Bulk and Skull theme With Lyrics:
    "Nothing is accomplished here!"
    "Nothing is accomplished here!"
    "Nothing is accomplished here!"
    "Waste! Of! Time!"
  • When Raph and Silver are switching Donnie back and forth from hypnosis by repeatedly saying his trigger word "Banana", Donnie's head explodes.
A Pathetic Finale!
  • The review title doesn’t even use the name of the episode (“Who needs her?”) instead going for “A pathetic Finale!”.
  • When discussing the possible appearance of April and Casey Jones in a hypothetical Season 2, Phelous speculates that the former would accidentally reveal the existence of the Turtles on the news every episode while the latter would probably swallow golf balls.
  • The "Michelangelo is Brain Dead" running get to conclude the review with “This entire show is Braindead.”
When the Turtles met the Power Rangers.
  • Phelous is constantly taken aback at the Turtles actually being competent, using teamwork, and fighting with weapons without random cartoon sound effects.
    • Special mention goes to the scene where Venus uses her shinobi magic to help Donatello, who actually accepts her assistance. Phelous jokes says a more accurate scenario for the Next Mutation Turtles would’ve been for the male turtles to throw Venus out the airlock for trying to use magic as Leonardo shouts that dying in an explosion is “the new way!”.
  • When Michelangelo uses a punny quip instead of saying something moronic during the final battle, the “Michelangelo is brain dead” joke gets altered to “Michelangelo is NOT brain dead?!”, with a graduation cap on Mikey’s head.
  • Who gets the "Biggest Idiot of the Show" award? Leonardo for a whopping FIVE times of being a moron. Keep in mind, he’s the leader. Oh, and the best part? Mikey only has three in spite of his stupidity being a episodic recurrence.

    Other Videos 
  • His video of watching the Smallville series finale:
    • Being horrified to see that Clark Kent becomes BATMAN! That's not what REALLY happens, but it does in this video and it's hi-larious!
    • Also, his constant laughter and screaming throughout the finale.
  • "Phelan and Allison Try to Survive Sesame Street" follows the couple's drive to an actual Sesame Street, only for their hopes of meeting the Muppets and their friends dashed rather hard. Among other highlights of their drive, Phelan gives a spot-on impression of a drunken Bert.
