Trivia / Positively Dreadful

• Approval of God:
  • Olly Pike (Who played Wily Sneak) enjoyed his review of Trapped!
  • Same with the creators of Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers.
  • And now Christopher Hastings as well.
• Creator Backlash:
  • Out of all his older videos, The Weird Al Show is the only one he truly dislikes, feeling it felt too much like a showcase of clips from the show.
  • He feels that he should have waited on the TMNT 2014 review and instead reviewed it alongside it's sequel, feeling the video as-is has some good jokes, but didn't reach his personal standards.
  • The fedora.
• Crossdressing Voices: Any time a woman speaks in a comic, Sideburns just raises the pitch on his voice.
• Deleted Scene: A scene from Ms. Marvel expanding on the War Father’s motivations was cut for time.
  • The same episode was originally going to end with a disclaimer poking fun at Donald Trump which was cut for coming off too earnestly and not as a joke.
• Fake Shemp: The Guardian is played by both Sideburns and Random-Fan at different points in the same video.
• He Also Did: Before reviews, Sideburns created Coyle Command, a web series casting himself as a supervillain. These videos can still be found through a playlist on his channel.
• Magnum Opus Dissonance: Inverted. Coraline is easily the most successful episode, with more than one hundred thousand views , but Coyle just sees it as wonky, poorly edited, and not very funny. It doesn't help that very few viewers seem to move onto the rest of the show.
• Milestone Celebration:
  • Revisited his first review, Triple Helix for his one year anniversary.
  • Later followed with Destroy All Humans! 2 for year two.
  • Year three brings us Sideburns’ own short film, ‘The St. Kilda Experiment.’
• Real-Life Relative: Coyle's father runs a lackluster garage sale.
• Refitted for Sequel: A montage of heroes getting curb stomped was orinally intended for Attack of the 50ft Veronica. When the episode ended up too long as a result, the gag was reused for Monster House.
• Schedule Slip: The show was originally aiming for a monthly release date. The closest this came was during 2015, which had eleven episodes all up (though one was technically an April Fools joke).
• Scully Box: Berghani is much taller than Sideburns. Sideburns needed to stand on a stool just so they could be in the same green screen shot together, and is still visibly shorter.
• What Could Have Been: Sideburns originally envisioned creating the show as far back as 2009, and so the show’s fairly simple format went through many alterations.
  • The show was originally meant to give exclusively glowing, positive reviews, regardless of how he actually felt about the subject, hence the title of the series. This proved too difficult to write around without getting stale fast, and so was dropped.
  • The show would have had a cast of recurring Drop In Characters, but Coyle found he really had no idea what to do with them. Chief among them were Ed Wood, Ms. Pac-Man and Rick Taylor from Splatterhouse.
  • Ghostbusters: The Video Game’’ was originally to end with an elaborate fight between Sideburns and the ghost. Running low on time to finish it, the fight instead happens off screen.
    • Originally, the ghost was meant to be an actually creepy effect, but a using a bedsheet proved much funnier and easier.
  • The series was originally going to have a vague ongoing story line involving Sideburns building a Jaeger through mail orders, and an evil council comprised of Steven Moffat, Meghan McCarthy and Dan Didio.
  • At one point, Sideburns was going to defeat the War Father himself using the magic he learned at Hogwarts.
  • Other subjects for his crossover with Berghani included Batman & Robin, and Mario Party 2.
  • The Weird Al Show, already a lengthy, two-part review, was originally going to be even longer, with numerous jokes cut out. The idea was that Coyle would start a Patreon to support the series and release a fully intact "Director's Cut" for Patrons. Ultimately the Patreon never materialised, and so neither did the full video. Intact, this would have made it the longest review to date.
  • Mario clobbering Berghani and Sideburns was meant to be shot in live action, featuring Blake from the Atmosfear video, but they ran out of time.
