UH OH! UH OH! UH OH! UH OH!
Xploshi, priding herself on Horror Comedy, inevitably has some unnerving videos, utilizing Uncanny Valley and Medium Blending to their best, creepiest degree. However, some videos and some moments stand out in this regard.
  • KIRBY SAFETY VHS starts off fairly normal, with Dedede and Kirby doing a safety PSA. However, after getting yelled at one too many times by Dedede and Waddle Doo, Kirby grabs Dedede by the neck before turning into a creepy version of himself as he states, in a loud and haunting voice, "Safety is an illusion. OBLIVION CATCHES UP WITH US ALL."
    • A particularly creepy thing about the video is that Kirby is given a deep-fake-styled mouth... but it's located under what appears to be his ACTUAL mouth. It makes him look even creepier.
  • Breaking Bad: The Game:
    • The player attempts to call Saul Goodman. However, they press the wrong number, resulting in a failure. The failure comes with an unnerving bit-crushed scream as fiery text exclaiming "WRONG NUMBER" suddenly pops up on the screen.
    • The part where Walter falls into Cyber Hell. The goal of it is to mash the space bar to keep Walter White sane as he's trapped in a psychedelic nightmare dimension. Failure to do so will result in his expression slowly faltering... until the ultimate failure where he gets the crowned champion of Nightmare Faces (Pictured above) and starts shaking violently! When he disappears, you're given a few seconds of the blank background before it cuts to the Game Over screen, which features a sad Walter as the background.
    YOU LOOSE
  • SCARY PAC-MAN GAME is, ironically, not all that scary. But it does have a jumpscare near the beginning where, after getting two answers in a row wrong, Pac-Man gets MONUMENTALLY pissed.
  • My Wonderful Garfield is quite possibly Xploshi's scariest video to date.
    • For starters, the questionnaire at the beginning is a pretty disturbing peer into the universe this video takes place in.
      "Can you perceive frequencies above 20kHz?"
      "Do you have teeth? If yes, why?"
      "Were you born before or after The Grand Collapse?"
      "Have you any suppressed memories from the last five years?" (No)
      "Are you sure?" (Yes)
      "Are you sure?"
    • The Womb is both this and Nausea Fuel. Described as being able to birth a Garfield based on your greatest desires, it is a morbid blob of Garfield-esque flesh with mechanical implements, bloodshot eyes, and a large pore where it births Garfields from. And apparently, Garfields born from it eventually get absorbed back into it!
    • The end of the free trial. The game glitches out and shows Jon with no pupils, before the background greyscales and Jhonfry suddenly turns white, gets shrunken eyes, and starts to melt as his three meters deplete to zero, accompanied by a creepy 8-bit rendition of the Westminster chimes. The game cuts to a Game Over screen with a cat skull on it, before going to the "Trial ended" screen. It explains that the viewer's pet is dead, and gives them time to mourn the pet. Backing this image is an unsettlingly shaded Garfield head which looks straight out of a creepypasta. It's revealed that Jhonfry had been cremated and then cuts to a factory line of Garfields about to be turned off.
  • Arthur Ruins Everything:
    • Buster's mangled corpse: For context, Arthur is reading a book, where he accidently bumps into the library ladder that Buster's on, causing him to fall over backwards. While Arthur's horrified expression is pretty standard for a Xploshi video, what he's reacting to is anything but. The image of Buster on the ground isn't pretty to say the least, where even the goofy musicnote  slows down to halt. Buster's body is shown splayed on the ground, with his torso split open (with blood all over the floor), his arms broken in different angles (with his right hand being perfectly cut from his arm), his eyeballs dangling out of his sockets, and his mouth is left gaping open with his tongue dangling out in a perfect spiral next to him. It doesn't help that Buster's appearance is drawn in a semi realistic matter. It actually gives Arthur a good reason to abruptly cry again.note 
      Arthur: Oh no. Buster! (Cries hysterically)
  • Tongas The Train Engine: The “Surprise” gives the most horrifying Bait-and-Switch moment. At first Topham mentions to Tongas it's getting harder to maintain older locomotives, seemingly implying he's going to scrap him for parts which is already bad enough. Then he lures Tongas, with the promise of a "surprise", to a disturbingly animated pit of living flesh and pushes him into it - but not before dangling him over the edge for good measure and telling him his surprise is "early retirement and subsequent absorption into the glorious mass". The last shot is of Tongas facing the screen and screaming as he falls.
    "You'll be happier this way. I think we all will," Topham spoke, calmly.
