** In his Fact Hunt video for games that got changed to be anime like in Japan, he lists ''VideoGame/TheUnholyWar'' as one and mentions its rebranding to "Little Witching Mischiefs", but mistakenly says the cast is all from the same anime called "Magical Girls". MagicalGirl is a genre, [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover and the cast are all from seven different magical girl anime from the 60's and 70's]], being very much the pioneers for the genre.
** His Fact Hunt video "Game Consoles Literally Rotting Away!" claims the only way to fix the timekeeping chip in the Phillips CDI is to dremel it open and solder a new battery to it. This ''is'' a way to fix it, but simply buying a new chip is a much easier alternative, and one that's well known-of in the console modding and repair community. It's true the chip that came with the console isn't available, but the [=SGS-Thomson MK48T08B-15 Timekeeper and the STMicroelectronics M48T08-150PC1 Timekeeper SRAM have the same pinout and are fully compatible, with the former being discontinued (but still readily available as oldstock) and the latter still in production -- you can buy either one for between $20 and $30 online. You can also use the Dallas / Maxim DS1643 NV Timekeeping RAM, the Glitch Works GW-48T08-1 Repair Board Module, the Philips FCB61C65LL-70P 8Kx8 (with a pinout adapter) and the DS1243Y-120+ 64k NV SRAM, all of which will work. It's also well-known that only some CDIs used this timekeeper chip, and models like the GPI-1200M and the CDI370 actually did use a normal watch battery, replacable via a compartment on the bottom=].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The Peter Molyneux running joke was often [[BrokenBase divisive]] due to how overused and personal it was. Episodes in 2018 to 2019 saw the joke being used more and more sparingly, and Larry admitted that the joke ran its course in the comments for "4 Games Changed Because Publishers Think Americans are Stupid" (and audibly holds back making a joke about him when he brings up who came up with the idea for Laura Croft's name to be shortened to [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]]).

* ColbertBump: A strange version. Many people didn't know he was even on [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Channel Awesome]] until after the mass leaving of contributors in the 2018 "#[=ChangeTheChannel=]" scandal (Larry himself even jokes that upper management likely didn't even know he existed). He is one of the last producers left on the site, with various memes proclaiming how the site was going to be renamed 'Channel Larry'. This also led to a straight example as people who had never heard of him before decided to take a look at his content.
