Trivia / Reviewing a Reviewer

Go To

  • Acting for Two: In episode 8, Asalieri is accompanied by a guest star named The Large Exhibit, which is obviously Asalieri with his voice distorted slightly deeper. In episode 35, the Odyssey is Suddenly Voiced, which is also Asalieri's voice distorted to sound higher-pitched.
  • Bury Your Art:
    • "RAR #24: Arcade Derp", removed by request of Arcadeic who wanted to remove his presence from the Internet after he allegedly got creeped out by a deranged stalker in real life.
    • "RAR #28: A Kyle of His Own", where he mocks Mike Matei. Kyle had a falling out with Asa and cut all contacts with him (which led to a very infamous moment where Asa agressively tried to contact him again). Thus, Asa deleted all the videos they put together (though the aforementioned RAR episode was reuploaded onto another channel).
    • This reached a high point in 2020, where he deleted almost all of his reviewing/commentary videos, leaving only one retitled RAR.
  • Creator Backlash: Episode 27, Mirror Match, is essentially a video meant to laugh at his older and shittier videos.
  • Missing Episode: After his first channel was deleted, a lot of videos he made seem to have been gone forever. Many of the older ones are uploaded on the "Asalieri Archive" channel, and many others are mirrored by fans. In 2020, Asa deleted most of his video content.
    • The second part of his "RAR #2" episode was removed due to a complaint by "Cry Wolf Productions".
  • Money, Dear Boy: He made RAR #39 because a fan offered to pay him 500 dollars for it.
  • Real Song Theme Tune: The theme tune of Reviewing A Reviewer is Blue Mary's theme from the Fatal Fury game series.
  • Sequel Gap: Made and uploaded episode 43 two years and two months after episode 42.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • He intended to make a parody of Joueur du Grenier, calling it "Joueur de Merde" (Shit Gamer). The project was aborted, but he still showed the logo in a reviewer contest as a character he has cancelled. Some of the development material resurfaced in a video by The Retro Mike, a French creator he was making this parody with.
    • Hellsing920 asked him to review his own show, but Asa passed on the offer. When they had a falling out, Asa did a video bearing the "RAR" name, but it was more of a rant against Emer's recent actions rather than his show itself.
    • Asa announced that he and Silent Rob would review the The Irate Gamer and The Angry Video Game Nerd crossover episode just a few days after episode video came out. However, since Asa has deleted the trailer and all the old episodes of RAR, it is safe to assume that the video in question has been cancelled. This was confirmed by Asa in the comments.
