* Ashens [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpaIgMBJHQU attempting to review the boxes to ten DVDs for bargain bin horror films]] goes off the rails fairly quickly for one specific reason. Ashen got his friend Steve to write review website scores (half of were blank, by the way) and foreign market names on an inlay inside the cases. One problem; Steve's handwriting turns out to be 'AWFUL' and Ashens corpses multiple times trying to decipher his scribbles. The inlay for ''Mother's Doll'' is perhaps the most infamous because the scribble comes out to Ashens as "Nedung Parste", which he compares to the writing on the [[Franchise/LordOfTheRings One Ring]][[note]]the actual alternate name is ''The Melancholy Fantastic''; Ashens is suitably flabbergasted as to how Steve wrote it like he did[[/note]]. The absolute clincher is his attempt to write ''Eden Lodge'''s alternate title of ''Breakdown''; the end result can only be described as a mad scribble across the page that would be totally illegible if not for context. Ashens gets as far as "Bruldoon" before he gives up.

* Stuart's [[https://youtu.be/bfXEnjI4vTk very first Christmas Tat video]] features three toys; a teddy bear trapped in an extremely harsh blizzard (entirely consisting of golf balls) that occurs with the press of a button, and a fireplace whose fire is [[TechnicolorFire a disco light]], and a party light which he breaks out in the finale of it. The latter is as depressing as it is funny, and an ''Platform/Xbox360'' styled achievement appears below it, saying "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Worst Christmas Ever".
** [[https://youtu.be/ATZPvDhHX3I Its sequel in the next year]] has more bizarre merchandise; a Santa shaped like a carrot (in which Stuart says that you shouldn't leave it on a chair [[PainToTheAss so nobody would sit on it]]), a bear in a full body cast while skiing, a poorly crafted snowman ornament, an even cheaper do-it-yourself pom-pom reindeer (whose smile is so huge it ''comes off its face''), a music box that appears to have "bruised, mutant children worshiping a snowman," another DIY figure with an OffModel Santa (who resembles an "evil wizard" more than he does Santa, and inexplicably didn't come with his titular hat) and a similarly off model reindeer that is describes as a "bizarre chocolate sandwich [[BuffySpeak thing]] with liquorish in the middle" that only vaguely resembles a normal reindeer if viewed from the sides, and finally, the "leering death skull" of a poorly constructed Snowman head (with its eyes and mouth missing, and permanent marker was used to make the latter) doorhanger that plays "Jingle Bells" (with the said song actually ''[[LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand slowing down]]'' the longer it's played) once its moved quickly enough while shaking violently. Stuart says that it's actually a "device for frightening pets" and the way he drops the toy after it finishes "singing" makes it seem like it sucked the soul out of him.

** The most notable part about it for many is his analysis of [[https://youtu.be/-SvYEaQRbk4?t=619
a cheap jumbo coloring book book]] that is filled with surprisingly surrealistic and crappy illustrations. His descriptions/first impressions only make illustrations; Stuart describes said drawings as made from someone who "appears to be from the baffling thing funnier.sort of love child of Creator/HieronymusBosch and Creator/SalvadorDali who spent most of his life on meth."

Such quotes on the packaging, including "Be careful box include "Rig out oneself construct fantastic models with your assembling hit", "Experience delight of participate in youself", that the world of steel tec steel construction System is "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a world]] where you can uild your dreams", that their team is proud that "uou've" chose their models, that you should "Use with care to avoid damage to the eyes or other boby parts", "Do not use it other than for the specified purpose to avoid accidental hurts", that you should stop using it if it's broken or malformed to "ensure safaty", and make sure that anything is not clamped "by the spinning parts of the potential entang ement[sic] hazard with neck, hair of fingers if there are string ,wire, wheels or rolling parts in the product.paoduct."
** He also creates an advert jingle for it when he tries to fetch the manual for it.
---> "Assembled parts! Manual! Rig out oneself! Construct fantastic models with your assembly hit! (Ping!)"
** ...Unfortunately, he also realizes that it came with ''absolutely no instructions on how to put it together'', which is presumably what the "Puzzle" branding on the box was talking about. Even more ironic? Stuart first commented that "[[TemptingFate puzzle just implies they haven't given you any instructions]] [to build it]" before opening the box.
** The ending, where the auto-focus completely craps itself into a bunch of blurry orbs when he attempts to zoom in.

* The [[https://youtu.be/kYRK5lzfb9w Thomas the Transformer Engine Review]] has Stuart looking at three bootlegged train figures which form a giant Franchise/{{Gundam}}-like HumongousMecha. Before he even looks at the toys, he questions the "politically incorrect" name of [[Characters/ThomasTheTankEngineHumans the Fat Controller / Sir Topham Hatt]], commenting that he would have gave him [[UnfortunateNames an even more offensive name]], like "[[AwesomeMcCoolName Sir Wankshaft Mcshitstain]]". When he gets and opens them, he looks at the shield that came with the green train, hypotheroizing its absurd shape may be so it can be used to stick it into the nostrils of two people at once, before he puts them all together. Once he does so, it ''[[https://youtu.be/kYRK5lzfb9w?t=501 falls off from its held leg]]''.
--> Wow. (right after he finishes saying it, [[EpicFail the toy falls apart from the leg that's being held]]) [[VerbalBackspace ...I retract that wow.]]
** After that, he then goes on to saying that an attack like having your legs drop off isn't very good. He soon shows the full, combined and transformed toys, commenting that "it looks like the Fat Controller- sorry, '''Sir Topham Hatt''', went absolutely shit-crazy, smashed all the trains together, and then made a giant robot out of their corpses in order to, uh, destroy the island of Sodor." He then proceeds to question if he got the name correctly before saying he would have named it the island of [[{{Pun}} Sod-off]].

[[BigLippedAlligatorMoment What the noise could have been is not brought up on the following days.]]

* The putrid [[https://youtu.be/73Y7qjM--zo 20-year-old Spider-Man Cake]] (made to tie in with ''Film/SpiderMan1'') has Stuart [[CallBack take a nod to one of his earlier toy specials]] where ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' was errorously referred to as Spider-Man (itself seen below on this page).
--> "...Peter Parker has become... '''Batman'''- no, '''Spider-Man'''!"
** [[https://youtu.be/KpkZwW31TMo The Spider-Cake song in its entirety.]] Not only is it unexpected, but the rhymes are equally ridiculous.

* 2023 proves almost a repeat of 2019 in terms of Dan believing he's set himself up to win, only for his advent calendars (Franchise/{{Barbie}} and Series/OnlyFoolsAndHorses) to be full of cheap shit compared to Stuart's ("Military Men" and a children's science experiment calendar from a German edutainment show) having rather nice toys for the most part. Dan ends up doing puzzles from the punishment calendar nearly every day and finds it ''nicer'' than his actual calendars.

* Just when he thought the contents of a Loot Crate couldn't get any cheaper, the May crate offers him easily the cheapest lot in LC history, cool Power Rangers T-shirt notwithstanding: a ''Franchise/RickAndMorty'' puzzle, an [[Franchise/TheAvengers Avengers]] ice cube tray, ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' buttons, and worst of all, [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING!]] SHOELACES!

--->"Let me ''jam'' it into my arm and ''inject myself with eau de Shrek'' (''breaks down'')."
** Him getting noticeably annoyed at the Shrek bottle for only providing him a summary of the movie, rather than any info on what it is.
--->(''reading: "When Shrek married Princess Fiona"'') Wait. Why is that on a different line and diagonal or much bigger? Who cares. (''back to reading: "becoming the next King and Queen of Far Far Away wasn't part of the plan. Recruiting Donkey and Puss in Boots for a new quest, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne."'') Nobody cares. (''"Back in Far Far Away, Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. Fiona and a band of princesses must stop him to ensure there will be a kingdom left to rule."'') What's that got to do with some bloody scent suspended in alcohol?! Like, wha-what is going on?
