Trivia / Smash Bros. Lawl

Go To

  • Approval of God: The Frollo vs. Nostalgia Critic 1-on-1 video was watched and liked by Doug Walker himself on his Facebook page.
  • Colbert Bump: Most fans don't know characters from the "Cult" group by the time they are introduced. This often makes Chincherrinas' viewers interested in the media where these characters come from.
  • Dear Negative Reader: Shortly after the series got cancelled, Chincherrinas uploaded a video that was making fun of people's negative reception to Villains Valley, which depicted Nostalgia Critic and Dr. Robotnik re-enacting "Porch Pals". The video was received extremely poorly due to many seeing the video being nothing but Chin insulting his fans and deflecting criticism.
  • Defictionalization: A fangame based on the series is in the works, with Chincherrinas being part of the project as well by providing the characters' assets.
  • Denied Parody: In the "Smash Bros Lawl Reawakens" video, a very few viewers thought that the part where Sheev rings the doorbell of Pyron's spaceship was a reference to the beginning of the "Steamed hams" meme. Chincherrinas indicated that it was not meant to be a reference.
  • Extremely Lengthy Creation: Pyron is notorious for having the longest gap between reveal and moveset release, having been confirmed all the way back in 2013 for a Subspace Emissary video, and wouldn't get a moveset video shown until 2023. With him showing up infrequently and even newer newcomers taking priority over him (Aya, Carlos Trejo, Weird Al, J. Jonah Jameson, Codec Snake, Sheev Palpatine and Weiss Grimoire), this set a record break in the Lawl community. Considering the poll deciding if him or Mary would have gotten a moveset first was off by one vote, who knows how things would have played had somebody voted for the other back then.
  • Follow the Leader: Since this series' gaining a following, fans have created their own versions of Lawl sometime being called "Fan-Lawl". There even is a wiki specifically about the most popular ones.
  • God Never Said That:
    • Back when Chincherrinas made a poll to decide who between Pyron and Mary would get their moveset first, some people tought that the loser would be outright removed from the roster even tough Chincherrinas never said that, so when Mary won, some people believed that Pyron was actually dropped from Lawl for good. The fact that he still doesn't have a moveset after years of being a confirmed figher didn't help, however the "Smash Bros Lawl Reawakens" video makes it clear that Pyron is still here.
    • When Chincherrinas made a Facebook tournament to decide who would gets a Classic Mode video showcase, he sometime added new informations about fighters during the votes, notably that if Dr. Robotnik or Dr. Wily won, it would be an opportunity to show new B-moves and A-moves for them respectively, some viewers actually thought that they would only gets new moves if they won the tournament despite Chincherrinas not even implying that they needed to win the polls to have moveset changes.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: After the mode's discontinuation, Subspace Emissary - Villains Valley would end up deleted from the channel by chincherrinas from his channel, but luckily reuploads do exist.
  • Magnum Opus Dissonance: Chincherrinas considers The Frollo Show to be his best work, while the majority of his fans mostly came due to Lawl itself, being the one earning more views than it. He ended up frustrated enough by the reception of his latter videos and the community that he outright quit the fandom, despite being the creator himself, as could be seen by his original pinned comment in his last ''Lawl'' related video.
  • Official Fan-Submitted Content: Chincherrinas once made a poll so the fan could vote for the character they wanted to be playable, Mephiles had the most vote and Fegelein was second, so a second poll was made to decide if Mephiles would be alone or if he would be a tag team with Fegelein, the majority chose the tag team.
  • Quietly Cancelled: In November 30th of 2023, chincherrinas quietly renamed the Villains Valley video under the Discontinued label, given the video's poor reception to its Ronald Monks' plot discouraged him from continuing with the Adventure Mode's storyline. In February 2024, the video ended up deleted by the author.
    • This would end up happening to Lawl itself, as in March 29th of 2024, Chincherrinas ended up renaming his playlist for Smash Bros Lawl under (Archive), explaining that he realized Lawl was no longer his thing and he had to move on, with the project cancelled after its brief revival.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • In Leonidas' and Nostalgia Critic's moveset, the entire Roster (minus The King, I. M. Meen and the already mentioned characters) were silhouettes. Chincherrinas said on ask.fm that some of those silhouettes belong to characters he thought were good ideas at the time, but changed his mind. The characters were: Dr Rabbit, Scorpion, Predator, Bomberman and AVGN, only the last one stayed.
    • Chincherrinas confirmed that he considered making Morshu and even wrote a moveset for him, but being satisfied with YTP Guy 17's moveset and the character being too obvious kept him away.
    • With the cancellation of the project, pending promised videos like Ib's Classic Mode or the Meph/Fegelein moveset ended up getting canned alongside its cancellation.
