* Okay, so you're watching the second part of his review of ''VideoGame/TheRingTerrorsRealm''. He's just gotten to the part where the real world turns out to be a false programmed one, and now he's cracking jokes about how out-of-nowhere the twist is. Oh, Spoony, you're such a card, with your--what the hell was that? The screen's glitching, and now he's talking about [[CallBack destruction and suffering]]? And then there's a brief flash of him [[CallBack in a straitjacket]] and now he's suddenly [[RuleOfSymbolism wearing an Arkham shirt]]? Ah well, it's probably nothing. And later on, the ending of the review comes, which is made of pure [[MindScrew "holy shit what the hell]] [[GainaxEnding is happening I don't even"]].

* According to his review of ''Akalabeth'', the former offices of California Pacific Computer are home to the skeletal remains of their staff, who Richard Garriot forgot about after he started Origin and left to die sitting by the phone waiting for someone to call and report that they'd won the game.

* ''The Madness of Roland''. Quite a few people commented that while the video itself wasn't too scary, Spoony's face at the end did disturb them. He even refers to it as NightmareFuel at the beginning of the commentary.

* The ending to Spoony's ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' review, in which the Guardian shows Spoony multiple futures, one in which he destroys the black gate, only to eventually have his friends and fans turn on him, one in which he goes insane and casts the Armageddon Spell (which is in the form of a copy of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII''), and one in which he [[WeCanRuleTogether joins the Guardian in conquering multiple worlds]], complete with images that switch between Tear Jerker (e.g. Spoony being booed by an audience during a panel) and NightmareFuel (The scene with Spoony in the padded cell, which is made much more terrifying). Of course, this is followed by a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* Like many of his wrestling-related videos, Spoony's new Black Hole video on the Remco/AWA [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/game-reviews/black-hole-of-board-games-power-slam-vcr-wrestling/ Power Slam VCR Wrestling]] game features a wrestler barging in; in the middle of yet another of Spoony's depressed rants lamenting his misspent life, TheWyattFamily makes a [[JumpScare sudden]] appearance and kidnaps him. And the [[JumpScare "DYA!"]] that usually heralds their appearance pops up twice.

*** and it does not help when you see Spoony dressed as Sephiroth (SpoonyRoth) with his deathglare, in a reddish Tint as the Guadian hints that the world was doomed to Sephiroth's plans over his own. What exactly that says about Sephiroth and the Guardian had some tropers pondering for weeks.....

* Quite literally, TNA Impact itself. In the 11/1 Wrestle Wrestle, Spoony describes how he passed out on the couch while watching Impact and had all sorts of strange dreams, but the only one he remembered was one about a crappy ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'' sequel with an animated rabbit sidekick.

** Take a look at his face throughout the whole review. In the beginning, he looks like regular Spoony, albeit maybe a little worse for wear. As the review goes on (especially near the end) his face has gotten gradually gaunter, his eyes have gotten darker under the lids, and he overall looks like he just refused to sleep for a week straight while climbing a mountain. Obviously, it's all make-up, but the implications of Spoony losing more of himself a la ShadowOfTheColossus is unsettling.
