League of Legends

  • The opening to "What's the Deal with Nocturne".
    Jared Rosen: (via Twitter) Nocturne is a thick fart with >: eyes don't @ me
    Skyen: Well, he's not wrong.
  • During his giant Legends of Runeterra art review mega-stream, Skyen spouts a hilarious Cluster F-Bomb the moment he gets to Teemo.
  • The intro to "Jinx, Ekko and Heimerdinger do Science" is a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue set to Van Halen's "Jump".
    Heimerdinger's assistant would go on to invent a bidirectional quantum tunnelling device with possible applications as a shower curtain. He never stopped falling off of hoverboards.
    Jinx somehow found a way to marry a sentient explosion and had several years of happy marriage before her husband's untimely death in a gardening accident. She would go on to weaponise crocheting.
    Only good things ever happened to Ekko who is a good boy and deserves happiness. His parents are comfortably retired, he has a happy relationship with someone nice and also a big happy dog that licks his face every morning and makes him smile. GIVE EKKO A HAPPY STORY RIOT YOU COWARDS
  • In "Yone, the Faun, and Thank God They're Dealing With Mundo", he reads a Riot statement that they feel like they've dealt with "most of the champions in critical need of a VGUnote ". At this point, Skyen plays a slideshow of champions he would consider "in critical need of a VGU"note  - set to the Can-Can music just to drive home how silly he thinks that claim is.
    Caption: i will never shut the fuck up about why kai'sa's design is bad!
  • In the 2020 version of his League of Legends champion ranking stream, he addresses Ashe early on, criticising - as he is wont to do - the way her clothes look like they're made of entirely the wrong materials for the Freljord (not even that they're skimpy, just that they look like they were made by completely different people to everyone else's costumes). Then he basically subtweets her every time another Freljord champion pops up.
    Skyen: Sejuani, the leader of the Winter's Claw - the warmother of the Winter's Claw, like the tough lady tough warrior who toughs things out toughly - still wears fucking FURS and LEATHER, ASHE!
  • Some of his snark in his second, post-rework "What's the Deal with Kayle and Morgana" video is on point: he describes Morgana's original model as "a haunted Christmas elf who melted" and compares Mordekaiser's old model to what would happen if "someone rolled a He-Man toy in superglue and threw it into a scrapyard."
  • His character review short videos:
    • He started out giving character grades in letters, and then started evolving when people began comparing the grades which were never meant as objective truths:
    • First to emoji, then to other characters such as Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village, all the way up to Lulu's, which is the video repeated at high speed in a chipmunk voice. God knows what it'll be like when he gets to Zoe.
    • His grade for Neeko is Lizard-Kitty-Prideflag... and a smiley, because she is cute.
    • He later reverted to the letter grades just so he could get across how appallingly bad Nidalee's F-tier 'design' is.
    • Mordekaiser's grade is a pile of metal... and a pile of Metal
    • He described Mordekaiser as "A petty little pissboy".
    • In the Best and Worst Skins successor series, the background music for Pizza Delivery Sivir is the pizza delivery music from Spider-Man 2.
  • In the animation breakdown for the Legends of Runeterra "Beyond the Bandlewood" trailer, his discussion of Veigar putting on an Intimidating Display:
    Skyen: He doesn't stomp naturally, so he has to do it on purpose, 'cause he's not good at being an evil overlord. It's a little thing, I just love it, because you can see, like, he's doing that stomp and then he straightens up to his full height of fucking nothing.
  • While discussing Mel from Arcane, Skyen describes her motivation as wanting to be richer, despite being "the richest person in all of rich person town".
  • In his Ruined King playthrough, he is fully on board with the Braum/Illaoi Ship Tease, even getting (jokingly) exasperated when a budding moment between them is ruined by Braum's seasickness. He later says that Braum turning down a night with Illaoi because it's not the time is very sweet...and not something he would be able to do.
  • In his video on the animation of Arcane Act 1, Skyen losing it over the gag of Viktor trying to pass off being caught outside Heimerdinger's lab as him accidentally mistaking it for his bedroom, particularly when he slows it down to show the exact moment when Viktor realizes it's not working.
    Skyen: You can see all the gears turning in his science brain, and what comes out is the dumbest of all possible excuses!
  • The Mageseeker playthrough has plenty of good moments, including him calling Lord Eldred a dweeb for having an Ominous Pipe Organ, noting that the victory at the Lab will probably be ruined soon, and yelling at the enemies trying to fight Sylas while the building is exploding.
    • He mercilessly roasts Jarvan for...well, everything, but most often for failing to grasp that his crusade to hunt down mages and magical beings would also affect Shyvana, his half-dragon bodyguard/secret crush. It soon becomes a Running Gag that any time Jarvan or Shyvana show up, Skyen tells her to leave him.
    Jarvan: There will always be a place for you at my side, Shyvana.
    Skyen: THAT IS NOT A COMPELLING ARGUMENT! "Don't worry, we can still bone! As long as you stay right next to me and don't leave the house and are okay with the entire country hating you, then everything will be fine!"

Dark Souls

  • After a failed attempt at beating the Bed of Chaos, Skyen respawns at the Lost Izalith bonfire, charges out across the lava fields of the city to have another try, and it isn't until the "YOU DIED" message pops up five seconds later that he realises he forgot to reequip the Charred Orange Ring. He's left in hysterics at his own clumsiness.
  • His immense discomfort anytime he gets swallowed by Kaathe or Frampt.
  • This Take That! from when he first talks to the Emerald Herald.
    Emerald Herald: that tiny thing inside the ruins... an ancient thing that will mock your very existence...
    Skyen: Twitter?
    Emerald Herald: She imparts sound wisdom, provided you find her on a good day...
    Skyen: Twitter.
  • In Dark Souls II, he finds his way to the gender-change coffin fairly early on in the game...and then uses a Human Effigy to reveal a shocking surprise.
    Skyen: "Wait! Where's my moustache?!"
    [He takes off his armor and realizes that his character is now female. After a long, long laugh and some calls for "Trans Rights in chat"]
    Skyen: "...And here I thought the coffin-boat was gonna take me somewhere. And it did! It took me to a whole new world!...Ah, it's not the moustache you have on the outside, it's the moustache you have on the inside. That's what matters."
  • Whenever he does something particularly devious in Dark Souls II, such as cheese an enemy with arrows when they can't retaliate or use a Seed of a Tree of Giants to force enemies to attack an invader, he lets out a devious chuckle as "Dark Side Points Gained" from Knights of the Old Republic flashes across the screen.
  • The Public Service Announcements from the National Git Gud foundation.
    In the Old Iron King video:
    TB Skyen has forgotten that burning effigies does not banish NPC invaders, and is being punished for his hubris.
    In the Twin Dragonriders video:
    TB Skyen is about to complete miss the Very Obvious Thing that is going to happen after killing this soldier. We ask that you please do not tear out any important hair, or swear excessively at your screen at his obliviousness. Thank you.
  • During the "Demon of Song" video, he's battling the Dragonrider in the Shrine of Amana, having already died to it once by rolling off into one of the deep water pits that instantly kills him. Everything's going well...and then his controller runs out of battery, costing him his life. He takes it in stride...and then dies one more time to the same enemy, for good measure, by being knocked off the path into the exact same deep water pit that killed him the first time.
  • When speaking to Aldia outside the Dragon Shrine in the Throne Watcher and Defender episode, Skyen edits a fedora over Aldia when he starts talking about how love is an illusion.
  • Whenever an ogre attacks him or bursts through the wall in Aldia's Keep, a self-made cover of All-Star plays in the background. He actually ended up doing a full cover of the whole song!
  • The avalanche of Sonic the Hedgehog references when he runs into the ice hedgehog monsters in Eleum Loyce.

Bloodborne

  • In "The Orphan of Kos", Skyen goes on a tangent about the abundance of moon imagery in the game, and asks rhetorically if the final boss is going to be the moon. He's right.
  • While exploring the Nightmare of Mensis, Skyen comes across and pulls the lever that cuts the chain holding the Brain of Mensis before encountering the Brain himself. He is subsequently rendered extremely confused by the ensuing cutscene.
  • After having theorized for several videos in a row about the moon imagery present in the game, Skyen's reaction to seeing the Pale Moon Presence?
    Skyen: 'SUP, FUCKER? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU!!!
  • After reaching the end of Bloodborne and witnessing the most Gainax of Soulsborne's Gainax Endings, Skyen says with complete sincerity "Yup, that makes sense."

Elden Ring

  • New to Elden Ring are teleport traps - chests that send you to the ass end of the map. Having picked the Wretched, a character class that starts out with nothing but a big stick, Skyen falls for one that sends him to a much higher-level area of the map before his character even has pants.
  • When he backstabs a knight three time in a row, he has his traditional "laughs in cheese" note... except he gets creative with what he calls cheese, including Fermented Curd and Norwegian Jarlsberg.
  • His fight with Rennala is good for a few chuckes:
    • During the first phase, he notices Rennala casting her one attack and hides behind a wall for cover. He starts complaining about her holding the spell for so long when it suddenly smashes through the wall, only barely allowing him to dodge.
    • In the second phase, Rennala does her audiocue for summoning a giant. Skyen has just enough time to ask "come oathsworn what?" before said giant squashes him flat out of nowhere. In the episode, he edits in a BONK sound effect.
    • At the end of his final attempt, with both himself and the boss down to slivers of health and a summoned Bloodhound Knight chasing him down, he's just starting to put together a last-ditch plan when Rennala does something new that just makes him completely lose it:
      Skyen: OK, I have one and only one chance...
      Rennala: Come, Oath-sworn dragon!
      Skyen: DRAGON?!
  • Whenever one of the chariot wagons in the hero graves get close to his player character, he edits in "Deja Vu" from Initial D, and has it fade out whenever it runs away, as if the chariot itself is playing the music.
  • While riding down the path to the Caelid erdtree, he notices the pots lying around and chuckles at the unintentional pun of caelid. Only to immediately shout in terror as he runs into the Erdtree Avatar boss.

God of War Ragnarök

  • Between recording episodes on a stream, he explains that he speaks with an American accent because most of his generation uses American accents when speaking English, while using a Danish accent in English is associated with the older generations. He then speaks in his natural accent for a few sentences, to which the Danes in the chat beg him to stop.
  • He notes the Fridge Logic of having the hardest mode being named "God of War", and says that a "God of War" mode should be incredibly easy.
  • Skyen cooing over all the wolves in the game. Even Garm.
  • After Odin kills Brok, he replaces his usual sign off with "Remember to be kind to another, have solidarity with those worse off than yourself, and if you get the chance, kill Odin".
  • When Atreus seals Odin's soul in a marble and they're discussing what to do with him, Skyen has his own suggestion.
    Skyen: Put him in a worm. A tiny, insignificant little worm.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

  • Around half-way through the tutorial, Skyen builds a raft using four logs and two fans, moves it into the river and climbs aboard. He then turns to activate the fans with his current weapon. Unfortunately, said weapon is an axe, which destroys the middle two logs, dunking Link in the water while the other two speed off like torpedoes. Skyen spends most of the next minute laughing at his blunder.
  • After he accidentally encounters Phantom Ganon in a random cave, he freaks out and then spends the next two episodes scared that he'll pop out at any time.
  • When discussing the fan reaction to Yona, Sidon's fiancee, Skyen's reaction is simply that Sidon has two hands and welcomes her to the relationship. He's also brought to hysterics by the sight of the Zora Domain's latest statue: Link riding Sidon.

Final Fantasy XVI

  • When discussing the Aerith and Bob aspects of Final Fantasy XVI Skyen is brought to tears by the hit team of Clive, Wade, and Tyler. He then characterizes them all as partying frat bros, which gets even funnier when Wade and Tyler do end up drinking later that night.
  • Quinten hands Clive something to "loosen a few tongues". Skyen's first guess? A thumbscrew.
  • When Cid and Benedikta start fighting and she nearly kills him, Skyen wryly notes that this is why he's aromantic.
  • He makes a Running Gag out of assuming everyone who has a complicated relationship with Cid is one of his exes. It culminates in one hell of a Mood Whiplash line during Cid's death scene.
    Skyen: Go to your rest softly, young fuckboy.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

  • Someone in the chat compares Cloud in a dress to a Victorian grandma. Skyen protests that he's meant to be beautiful and not sexy....but admits they're right.
  • He begins Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with mad laughter over the Timey-Wimey Ball, struggling to comprehend the timeline nonsense and shouting "Nomura!" as he gets more and more confused.
  • When Sephiroth calls Cloud a "puppy", Skyen declares that no force on Earth could make that line heterosexual.
  • His positive glee at combo attacks letting him Fastball Special his teammates.
  • Skyen going mad with power while breaking things with the Wheelie.
    Skyen: I AM THE GOD OF DESTRUCTION!
  • Skyen's suggestion for the Final Boss of the Queen's Blood side quests? Sephiroth in a mustache calling himself "Bephiroth".
  • Skyen finds the accommodations at the Haunted Hotel quite charming, calling a knife-wielding Tonberry "cute" and commenting that the bloody handprints slamming into the windows would probably make it hard to sleep. Then he spots the animatronic spiders on the ceiling (who aren't even doing anything besides wiggling) and starts cursing in terror.

Other

  • In one of the Hades videos on his second channel, he learns that Thanatos has more art assets after you beat the game ten times:
    Skyen: Hey, that's a new portrait - he's smiling! Look at that, he's smiling! He does have a second facial expression!
  • His Pokémon review shorts eventually gets to Pikachu. Skyen is thus faced with summing up Pikachu's design in a single minute. He begins by describing its original design as 'A hamster-like fat little spark-loaf'
  • A rather random video that he decided to do (which earned him a lot of attention on Tumblr) was about an article that he read about how young people in the modern age have started hating mayonnaise. He was so horrified/baffled by the whole thing that he read and critiqued it in a video, with a particular standout moment where the author speaks glowingly of her son who loves mayo, while noting that her daughter is a women's and gender studies major in college and "naturally" loathes mayonnaise, which sends Skyen into a fit of hysterics.
    Skyen: (between fits of laughter) Yes, that most well-known side-effect of feminism! If you take gender studies, I warn you, children, you will stop enjoying mayonnaise!
  • Skyen does a video on Captain Kuro, an early One Piece villain, talking about how he sets up the later themes of the story and that it's a shame that even Oda seems to have forgotten him, as he's one of the very few characters to have never shown up again or even been referenced. Eight days after the video went up, the cover of chapter 1090 leaked with Kuro on it, his first appearance in 25 years. Skyen naturally decided that Oda did this to screw with him personally.
    Skyen: I said it so many times in my video, "He's forgotten, no one remembers him!". HOW DID ODA KNOW? WHO WENT AND TOLD HIM?! Which one of you rat bastards went and sold me ou-!
  • In his Baldurs Gate 3 Let's Play, Alfira asks the player how they rescued Lakrissa. Skyen's response takes the form of a to-do list recanting all the weird shenanigans he got into while saving them. And during all that, he still didn't find the time to actually talk to Ketheric because he was too busy doing sidequests.
    Walk through front door
    Kill cook
    Down Stairs of Blood
    Kill warden
    In Bloody Hole
    Out Bloody Hole
    Break Cell Wall
    Kill guard
    Profit
    • By the time he finally gets around to talking to Ketheric, he's already murdered his warden, liberated his prisoners, found out about the Nightsong, and robbed his entire bedroom.
  • In his reaction videos of Hazbin Hotel:
    • In the pilot, Skyen generally sticks to commentary with the occasional chuckle at a joke he thinks lands (or a particularly egregious animation error), and thinks that the general dirty comedy tone of the series isn't really to his tastes. Then he gets to the joke where Angel Dust offers to suck Alastor's dick, Alastor has a Reaction Shot, and responds with HA HA HA—No, and Skyen completely loses his shit, rewatching it three times because of how funny he found it.
    • Skyen's immediate reaction to seeing Lucifer is "Oh that is a very divorced man."
    • He finds the joke of Alastor dressing as a nun to underscore his supposed faithfulness to the hotel funny... and realizes a moment later that the internet has undoubtedly had fun with that image, much to his horror.
    • He cringes hard when Charlie starts her hearing by reading the dictionary definition of "Redemption," and laments that he has to agree with Adam (who called it "Lame and unoriginal") which he doesn't wanna do because Adam is the worst.
    • He gets completely floored by the Brick Joke of an Egg Boi having been telling a Cassandra Truth to others, and having been completely ignored because, in the words of Sir Pentious; "They say insane shit all the time". Why? Because he set up the possibility of that joke mere minutes before it happened.
