Trivia / Jenny Nicholson

• Accidentally-Correct Writing:
  • Well, half-accurate; in her video on Trigger Warning, she assumes that the extended epilogue where the main character meets his uncle — a One-Man Army named Barry Rivers who went by the title of "The Rig Warrior" — was a Sequel Hook showing that there would be more stories following his adventures. We can't blame her for not knowing due to the sheer Archive Panic of author's work, but it turns out the character is from a series written by Johnstone during the 80's titled Rig Warrior, with Trigger Warning being a Stealth Sequel.
  • When Star Wars: The Bad Batch series was announced she commented on twitter that it was a missed opportunity to not have one of the titular defective/enhanced clones be an Opposite-Sex Clone. Then in the actual pilot the team was joined by a new member who is just that.
• Approval of God:
  • Steve from the reality/competition show Opposite Worlds commented on Jenny's video covering it, sharing his own behind-the-scenes accounts of the show and affirming that "the thirty minutes I spent watching this were ten times more enjoyable than being on the actual show."
  • Nicole, Thea, Laura, and Alyissa — rotating hosts of the DIY tutorials on Hallmark's YouTube channel — all replied to Jenny's video of them, all expressing their approval and enjoyment of it.
    • Thea marks a year since the video on Twitter, retweeted by Jenny with "Hail Thea, the Usurper":
  Thea: It's been one year since @JennyENicholson made her infamous Hallmark video about my former online show, Party 101. I still revisit the comments for a laugh at times. Feel free to add to the 1.5 million views
  • Voice actress Anndi McAfee, who played Cera in the The Land Before Time movies and Phoebe in Hey Arnold!, commented on Jenny's video where she talked about the Land Before Time movies, expressing her love of Jenny's videos.
  • In the comments of her video about Buzzy of Cranium Command, Scott Curtis (one of the original voices of Buzzy) shared his memories about working on the show, and while he wasn't able to provide any leads on the animatronic's disappearance, he praised Jenny for bringing awareness to the situation and the show's history in general.
  • Although unclear whether she saw the full video on The Vampire Diaries, Dana Delany commented on Jenny's full upload of the China Beach DVD commercial cover on Twitter.
    "Well Jenny, if Warner Bros had just paid the damn music rights, we wouldn’t be here."^note China Beach is notoriously unavailable for streaming services because of this. Buying DVD boxsets is the only way to watch the series.
  • Several former actors from Evermore can be found in the comments of her video. The majority of them voice their approval for Jenny's work as well as more insights into the many difficulties they faced working there.
• Creator Backlash:
  • She doesn't write it off completely, but aside from a few individual jokes and the episode "Foaly Matripony", she doesn't believe Friendship is Witchcraft has held up very well. She's especially embarrassed by the frequent use of term "gypsy" applied to Pinkie Pie, not knowing at the time that it was an anti-Romani slur.
  • She ended up tacking a commentary video at the end of her analysis of Avengers: Endgame, saying that she liked the movie and didn't have much to say about it but felt pressured into critiquing it^note some files were corrupted and, in the process of trying to recover them, she realized she didn't want to complete the video. This segued into a meta-commentary about the nature of being a pop-culture commentator and how difficult it can be when her opinions don't match those of her audience.
• Schedule Slip: Jenny generally had a release schedule of a new video every few weeks, but starting around 2020, her output has decreased dramatically, no doubt a necessary sacrifice to her videos becoming even more elaborate and lengthy, jumping from somewhere between 10 to 30 minute videos with a longer video for more in-depth topics, to videos going well over an hour in length, sometimes a couple more. She does, however, regularly maintain her monthly "ramble" videos for Patrons, where she talks at length in unscripted fashion about patron-chosen topics.
• Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things:
  • In the comments of her video on the Jeff the Killer fanfiction Insanity, Jenny has come out and said that she originally planned on reviewing its sequel, but changed her mind due to the fanfic's author getting harassed from the newfound attention the review gave her, resulting in her taking her work off of Amazon.
  • Invoked in the Church Play Cinematic Universe video. Knowing what happened with Insanity, Jenny told viewers at the end not to share her video to the Church of the Rock or harass them online over them, as she genuinely liked them. About a little over a month later, the church took notice.
