The Mysterious Mr. Enter / Trivia

Accidentally-Correct Writing: The Truth or Square review ends with a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue which states that SpongeBob's "marriage" to Sandy was legally binding due to being officiated by an actual priest and he has to pay her $20,000 a year in alimony. Years later, a storyboard for the episode would reveal a Deleted Scene which has the priest say he didn't know the wedding was a play, and SpongeBob gets hit by Sandy when he suggests making it a Real Fake Wedding.
Artist Disillusionment: Enter admitted in a video post back in 2016 that he wanted to take a break from reviewing animation. While he has no ire towards his fans, he's emotionally burnt-out over having the flaws of his older videos (including those that were made years ago and he had apologized over) constantly brought up even when he's trying to improve himself as a content creator; the situation went as far as losing a friend over the videos.
Author's Saving Throw: As a response to some of his more hated reviews (Rocket Monkeys, 12 oz. Mouse), Enter announced he'd go back and review said shows with a different perspective. Further still, his website has versions of his older reviews that fix the issues that plagued them originally. They also cut out the nastier insults that he was infamous for originally. He also made an intensely self-critical video revisiting Turning Red, wherein he re-evaluated it.
Colbert Bump:
- PieGuyRulz would have his channel gain a boost in subscribers and viewership following his guest appearance in the "Truth or Square" review.
- Has given one to Cute Fuzzy Weasel during his Admirable Animations video on "Trolls".
- If the YouTube comments are anything to go by, he gave God, the Devil and Bob one as well.
- His Admirable Animation is often meant to be this. And in his Web Animation sub-series, this is the entire purpose.
- His presence on the site Zippcast prompted many people to become aware of the site's existence, and when his "Herpe, The Love Sore" review was posted, the barrage of traffic that the review brought convinced the site's administrators to upgrade their servers.
- Any obscure and otherwise forgotten about show featured on Animated Atrocities gets this treatment, if only for the Bile Fascination.
Creator Backlash:
- His Top 11 Screw-Ups list is full of these.
  - He was dissatisfied with many of his older MLP reviews, most notably "Bridle Gossip", because he felt like he didn't take the time to properly elaborate what he was trying to say.
  - His old feud with Byter over the status of MLP's quality.
  - He has expressed regret for attacking Charlotte Fullerton and Merriweather Williams in his "Putting Your Hoof Down" review, as he learned after making the video that Fullerton was forced to stop working on the script and hand it off to Williams after the death of her husband. He doesn't like the episode any more than he did, but he felt that he went too far in personally calling out the writers, especially given the circumstances that led to the episode's creation.
- Mr. Enter tends to be disappointed by reviews that clock in less than five minutes. His least favorite Animated Atrocity review is "It's A Wishful Life" because he was rushing to get something out and should have torn into the episode more. His least favorite Admirable Animation is the "Helga on the Couch" review for similar reasons.
- As stated in several modern post-rebrand reviews, such as "Fame and Misfortune," he openly regrets his former over-the-top tone and most of his controversial decisions, such as his 12 Oz Mouse review. Some of his older reviews were redone because of his shame, such as "Pet Sitter Pat" where he attacked the writers and inadvertently brought harassment onto their Twitter pages.
- In his review of "Going Bananas", he expresses his shame at his previous Rocket Monkeys review, noting that it was more of a rant against people who request him to review certain works than a true review, and that the episode came during a stretch of reviews that he now hates due to him feeling burnt out at the time of making them.
- His Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2010s video implies that he's come to dislike his review of Seth Mac Farlanes Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy, feeling he was too harsh on it.
- In his Top 10 WORST Episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants video, he expresses regret on how harsh he was on the show itself back in his early years of reviewing, with reference to his two previous SpongeBob themed lists:
  Mr. Enter: ... the show's reputation sunk so deep, that no one cared when a random Internet idiot looked way too deep into episodes like "The Card" or "Breath Of Fresh Squidward"; seeing things that just weren't there. Like, I'm not making this shit up, people actually did that and nobody believes me when I tell them. What I'm trying to say is that in my eight years on this platform I've grown, and I've come to regret a lot of my past decisions with this show specifically.
- In his announcement for season 2 of Nick-O-Rama, he stated that Nick-O-Rama was one of the bigger mistakes that he made, and felt that the more frequent criticisms (not fully exploring shows, factual errors, shoddy editing) were absolutely warranted. He also stated in the same video that his Nick-O-Rama video on Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a bad video, and that his poor editing and phrasing of his criticisms did not help his case.
- In his video about StarGiantProductions, he reveals that he regretted hiring her for numerous reasons: bad editing that got worse near the end of her employment, her attitude towards her co-workers ranging from annoying to rude, and an overall lack of self awareness of her actions.
- Just around a few months after he stated it and received widespread internet backlash for it, he agreed that criticizing Turning Red for not reflecting the political order after the 9/11 attacks due to it taking place in 2002 was nonsensical nitpicking and apologized.
- In Top 10 Worst Mr. Enter Videos, he addresses many of his controversies and videos that he has regretted creating:
  - 10) Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Nick-O-Rama: He criticizes Nick-O-Rama as a whole for being an overly ambitious project that he was ill-equipped to complete in a very limited time, resulting in poor reviews for several cartoons. However, he believes his Rise Of The TMNT video in particular, struck a chord with a lot of people.
    9) Animated Atrocities #97 - "Hired" (12 oz. Mouse): For not really reviewing 12 oz. Mouse and instead going on a rant on Post-Modern Art, which he admits that he was ill-informed to properly address. The video has had "[Disowned]" added to its title.
    8) Animated Atrocities #50 - Worst Patrick's a Prick Episodes: For being one of his most successful episodes, despite being one of his most poorly made and unprofessional videos; which resulted in him getting a skewed perspective on what actually made him successful.
    7) Videos edited by StarGiantProductions: A partnership that resulted in many videos with poor editing. Although Mr.Enter fully admits that he is also to blame for the situation by not taking more decisive action sooner and that his own editing skills aren't much better.
    6) Growing Around Indiegogo Trailer: Though he hasn't abandoned the Growing Around project itself, he believes the campaign was handled badly. Specifically, he realized it was ridiculous to request a TV Show sized budget for an online show with a premise he communicated poorly.
    5) Turning Red Is A Mixed Bag: He realized his comments that the film didn't address post-9/11 paranoia were nitpicking and nonsensical, since it wasn't what the movie was about; Enter also admitted that he deserved every critique he got over it. However, what he truly regretted was his Twitter thread in the aftermath where he attacked numerous people, including a former editor.
    4) Animated Atrocities #47 - "Uh Oh Canada" [King of the Hill]: For being one long tortured "Offended on behalf of Canadians" joke than an actual review, especially when he discourages such behavior.
    3) Animated Atrocities #95 - "There's No Business Like Monkey Business" (Rocket Monkeys): For being a literal attack on his own audience for simply receiving requests to review a show that he wasn't interested in, when he could have simply declined. Like the 12 oz. Mouse video, he has added "[DISOWNED]" to the video's title.
    2) Animated Atrocities #41 - "Pet Sitter Pat" [SpongeBob SquarePants]: Specifically, the original review, for attacking the writer and inadvertantly directing a hate mob to his Twitter account. In general, he completely regrets this era of YouTube where attacking creators was sadly common.
    1) His Pandemic Videos: For showcasing his anger and rage at a time when it wasn't necessary, and generally for showcasing himself at his worst.
- Enter also disparages most of the videos made in his first year of reviewing. He specifically cites Lupe's Revenge and Tentacolino as videos that would have made the Top 10 Worst List had he not chosen to disqualify all of the videos made in his first year, with him calling the former "probably my worst written review". He also gives a Dishonorable Mention to "Boys vs Girls", for not realizing the episode's Broken Aesop was an intentional piece of satire.
Creator Breakdown:
- In his "Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 1990s" video, he stated that his Despair Event Horizon reaction in his Mega Babies review was genuine, and it actually caused him to consider quitting reviewing altogether, and it was why he reviewed Ren Seeks Help immediately afterward - just so he could get it out of the way.
- This video in a nutshell.
- "We need to talk" is a more depressing case, as Mr. Enter discusses what he was feeling in September of 2017.
- This video discusses problems he had in late 2017 and early 2018.
- Mr. Enter admitted that the COVID-19 Pandemic pushed him beyond his breaking point and into one of the darkest periods of his life.
Creator's Favorite Episode: His review of The Lion King (2019), which is currently featured on the home page of his YouTube account.
Creator's Oddball: His reviews of Opposite Day and Re-Animated are his only live-action movie reviews (although the latter has animation in it)
Dear Negative Reader:
- In a DeviantArt journal entry that has since been deleted (alongside with his original account), ranking the the Top 10 Worst Nicktoons, Enter put Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the list saying the backlash he received for his negative review made him hate the show even more. Enter also states finding out TMNT alumni worked on the show, when had assumed that the people who made Rise didn't like or care about TMNT, clenched its spot on the worst list.
- In a now-deleted tweet, he openly insulted those who criticized his Turning Red review, saying that they are corporate shills for Disney, and admitting that he likes pissing Twitter off.
Defictionalization: "The Nutshack theme but every nutshack is replaced by Mr. Enter's review of The Nutshack", a joke from his review of "Duck Karma", was actually made by someone, but it's no longer available on the Internet.
Development Hell: Several planned "Animated Atrocity"/"Admirable Animation" reviews got put on hold for various reasons, but most eventually do come to be.
- His "Seahorse Seashell Party" review was originally going to be his fourth Animated Atrocity review, but it was replaced with "Johnny's Royal Flush" and pushed back to the fifth review only to be replaced by "Everyone Knows It's Bendy". "Seahorse Seashell Party" finally got released as the 14th animated atrocity.
- He was teasing "Top Ten Worst Squidward Torture Porns" at least a month before he finally finished and released the video.
- The SpongeBob episode "Little Yellow Book" was supposed to be Animated Atrocity #41 in order to follow-up his "Top 10 Worst Squidward Torture Porns" video, but it was replaced at the last minute by "Pet Sitter Pat". It was further delayed by "Princess Promenade", Nickelodeon Month, and Cars 2 before finally being released three months later as Atrocity #49.
- Similarly, "the Tale of X9" was initially going to be Admirable Animation #21, but was replaced by "A Kind Momodo, Kolulu" and delayed. So far, it's unknown when it will be released.
  - He was teasing another Admirable Animation: "The Land Before Swine" for about two months before he finished and uploaded it.
- He had originally planned to do Meet the Robinsons as Admirable Animation #24, but put it on hold because he didn't feel up to doing such a heavy project at the time, and instead focused on various short animations from around the internet. Meet the Robinsons would finally be reviewed over a year and a half later as Admirable #45.
- He teased "Are You Happy Now?" in his atrocity review of "One Coarse Meal", which was his 13th atrocity. Over 1 year later it became Atrocity #68. This mainly had to do with him not wanting to review the episode due to considering it suffering from the House Fancy Effect, a term he coined to refer to an otherwise decent work that is ruined by one bad or infamous moment^note. In the case of "Are You Happy Now?", he believes the episode is actually solid, but there are a couple of suicide jokes which make the entire thing uncomfortable to watch.
- In his "The Pom-Pom Girl" review, he stated that he was going to review an episode of The Day My Butt Went Psycho! next, but he went on to review "The Return of Slade" due to that episode being a ratings trap, and later he reviewed an episode of "Rocket Monkeys". He eventually scrapped it, saying that he wasn't able to find anything he hadn't already said before.
- His planned re-reviews of some of his older targets got put on hold by several months due to him waiting for his issues with Viacom to blow over.
- Part 2 of Top 10 Advertising Campaigns was canceled due to low viewership. According to him in one livestream, "More people have asked me about Part 2 than people who watched Part 1."
- He had announced plans of reviewing Quest for Camelot since his "Top 11 Things I'll Never Review" video, which was released in January 2015. He finally released his review of it in mid-2020.
- He announced back in late 2020 that Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be one of the things he would review in his "unpopular opinions" marathon. While he reviewed the other shows he announced, the review for RotTMNT hasn't come out, while several other atrocities have come out in the meantime. He eventually confirmed that his second review of RotTMNT was reserved for the second season of his Nick-O-Rama marathon. However, Season 2 of Nick-O-Rama would be Cut Short with the current plan being to revisit the show during Season 3, only for that project to end up in Development Hell.
- The 200th episode of Animated Atrocities reviewing The Boss Baby was announced in the Summer of 2023, but has yet to be released as of January 2024, with the 201st episode covering the Christmas Episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius even getting released beforehand.
He Also Did: In addition to his videos, Mr. Enter has tried his hand at several ideas, including Epic! The Humorous RPG, a silly Webcomic, a Fighting Game roster, a Trading Card Game, an online novel called Little Cassie, a Friendship is Magic fan episode, a couple of cartoon series called Growing Around and Alone Together that he someday hopes to make as actual shows, an Action Parody screenplay, and a Fantasy Worldbuilding project, just to name a few. He explained in a few now-deleted DeviantArt posts, one aspect of his Asperger's Syndrome is struggles with Fleeting Passionate Hobbies; one moment he is incredibly driven towards a certain subject, and then later his drive completely peters out, the thing he was so passionate about becomes tedious and boring, and these projects go unfinished. In his own words, he feels like Professor Calamitous. So far, the only projects he's managing to follow through with are his videos (due to the potential overlap with wherever his interests lie) and Growing Around, the latter he's actually registered a copyright for.
- Little Cassie is an interesting case; he finished the first draft and was in the process of proofreading, and intended to at least self-publish. The problem is that he wrote it at first to cope with the trauma of his past, and as a result going back to redraft it would entail reopening a lot of old wounds he wants to move on from.
- Growing Around morphed into a novel. He did not give up despite facing desperation and uncertainty at every step, and wrote a 65k word manuscript out of his ideas. He takes pride in this being one of the very few projects he followed through on. It was even officially released on Kindle and paperback.
In Memoriam:
- The Animation "Genre" begins with a tribute to Stephen Hillenburg.
- The endcard to his Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island review reads, "Chris and Patrick will be missed," referring to Chris Schaffer and Patrick Phyrillas (aka Pappy G) of Schaffrillas Productions, who were killed in a car crash in January 2023.
- His Admirable Animation review of "Propane Boom/Death of a Propane Salesman" was dedicated to Johnny Hardwick, the voice of Dale, who passed away the week prior to the review.
Magnum Opus Dissonance:
- Enter initially felt Troll was the best video he's released. Many fans of his disagree, with a handful outright disliking it, largely due to Enter's controversial opinion that trolls and cyberbullies are one and the same, and arguing that they're not is part of the problem.
- He considers "Worst Patrick's a Prick Episodes" one of his worst episodes, even though it was one of his most popular ones. In fact, he feels its popularity gave him a skewed perspective on what gave him his success, which in his mind negatively impacted his later content.
Missing Episode:
- His review of "A Dog and Pony Show" was taken down by Shout! Factory, and unlike "Look Before You Sleep", hasn't been re-reviewed.
- His reviews of various episodes of The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy have been taken down as well. Unlike "A Dog and Pony Show", Mr. Enter has confirmed that he has the reviews saved on his computer.
- His "Top 11 Worst Episodes" video was only available on Vimeo since it contained footage from Fox shows until Fox nuked that account, making the video unavailable as of now.
- Back when he was finishing up reviewing Season Three of MLP, he made a few response videos to Byter, a critic of Season Three, using a courtroom setting similar to Ace Attorney. These videos were flagged for harassment a few months later and Enter refused to fight it or reupload them due to his personal dislike of the content. Additionally, there was a (now-deleted) video titled "Mr E Vlogs: Battle Scars Of A Flame War" that was mentioned in his video on Byter's review of "Too Many Pinkie Pies".
- While the current version of the "Top 11 Mistakes" video on his Dailymotion is 17 minutes long, there was an earlier version that was initially 23 minutes long which tried to go into more detail about his feud with Byter. This original version of the video is nowhere to be found.
- In July 2020, he deleted his DeviantArt account, which means that all of his journals, Animated Atrocities note cards, drawings, and Growing Around content are inaccessible without using an internet archive (and that's only if they're on an archive).
- Sometime in 2020, he removed part 1 of his "Top Ten Advertising Campaigns" video (along with canceling part 2) due to low viewership of part 1 and high demand for part two.
- The original edit of his "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" review is currently unlisted, due to it leaving in the potentially Epileptic Flashing Lights (specifically raw footage of "Electric Soldier Porygon") among other editing mistakes (one example he cited being interrupting his serious seizure warning with the "MY EYES!" meme from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie). He later uploaded a re-edited version that minimized the flashing lights as much as possible in addition to correcting the editing mistakes present in the original version.
Official Fan-Submitted Content: When he was making his "Top 10 Worst Patrick's a Prick Episodes" list, he asked for viewers to vote for the transition song. The options were "Particle-Man", "Where is the Fun?", "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", "Worthless", and "The Plagues". The winner was "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
- He also asked for help with his Top 20 Animated Theme Songs list, causing it to end with the top 4 being from shows he hadn't even seen.
Out of Order:
- During Nick-O-Rama, the review for Mr. Meaty (which premiered in 2006) went up a day before the review for The X's (which premiered in 2005), since the former was ready to be uploaded when the latter wasn't.
- Because of the lengthy production of Animated Atrocity #141 ("The Legend of Korra Book 1"), it was released after Animated Atrocity #142 ("Cartoon Network in 2017").
- His atrocity on "Rickdependence Spray" was supposed to come out after an atrocity on The Magic School Bus Rides Again, but the latter was struck with copyright issues, causing the former review to go up in the meantime (and causing a mild case of Orphaned Reference to the Magic School Bus review). The end of the latter review also had a reference to the next review being a Rick and Morty episode.
Schedule Slip: Despite shifting his schedule to one video a week and removing MLP episodes from rotation, his work in 2015 was full of issues that caused this, including YouTube deleting his account, sickness, an air force practicing over his house and a long saga with his computer slowly falling apart before he could finally get a new one.
Screwed by the Lawyers: He has had several fights with big-name companies over copyright infringement. Most notably, Viacom, FOX, Hasbro, and Shout! Factory.
- He was affected by the infamous copyright claim fiasco of December 2013, when YouTube's changes to their content ID system caused many videos across the site to be hit with claims, including videos that follow Fair Use. Luckily, Mr. Enter managed to successfully counterclaim since his videos are made for the purpose of review/critique, and thus fall under Fair Use.
- In August of 2014, his Vimeo account was terminated for copyright infringement, taking all of his FOX reviews and everything else along with it. Mr. Enter was so irritated by this that he plastered three of the banned FOX reviews on YouTube just to piss them off. Of course, FOX blocked the videos and slapped him with two copyright strikes about 48 hours later, which prompted him to file an official DMCA counterclaim, essentially daring Fox to sue him.^note About a week later, FOX backed down and restored his videos.
- In April of 2019, in his "Very important conversation" livestream, he revealed that his whole channel was demonetized by YouTube. Thankfully, this was reversed by 2020.
Throw It In!: Mr. Enter has a tendency to leave in alternate takes of himself saying some lines, resulting in a few unintentional Department of Redundancy Department moments.
Trolling Creator: His "review" of Dave is actually just a long chain of "not to be confused with" jokes.
Troubled Production: Cars 2 was by far the most difficult video for him to produce due to numerous technical problems that plagued the DVD ripping, editing, and processing of the video.
What Could Have Been:
- He was originally going to do his "Twilight's Kingdom" review partially or completely as a response/rant video towards members of the MLP Analysis Community who have developed a reputation for Accentuate the Negative.
- In his "1 Night In Gottlieb" review, it was stated that the next Animated Atrocity would be a double feature of "Television Dominance" and "Avoiding Work". He decided instead to just do "Trilogy".
- In late-2013 he was originally planning on doing a top 10 list of the "Worst Cartoon Episodes of 2005", but the video never materialized due to Mr. Enter admitting it was too large of a stretch and instead decided to do the 1-year anniversary lists.
- In his "Top Ten Best MLP Episodes", he stated that he would do a "Top Ten Favorite MLP Songs" video after season four was over. Since season four has been over for almost a decade, the video's almost certainly canned.
- In his "Top 25 Post-Movie SpongeBob Episodes" Admirable Animation, he mentioned that he'd be doing a reverse of what he did in 2013, doing various Halloween Atrocities for October, and a bunch of Christmas Admirable Animations in December. Fast-forward to Halloween and he hadn't reviewed a single Halloween-related Atrocity, instead opting to do "The Top 25 Most Disturbing Episodes" list (although one of the episodes he did initially just for that video was reviewed as a whole later on). As for the Christmas Admirable Animations, he chose only to review It's A SpongeBob Christmas.
- Back in 2016, Mr. Enter expressed his intention to re-review the Recess episode "Nobody doesn't like TJ" due to Enter's dissatisfaction with the original review, however, the review never materialized, confirming years later on DeviantArt that the re-review has been scrapped due to lack of motivation.
- In one of his now-deleted DeviantArt Journals, he revealed that he tried to make a video titled "How To Do YouTube" before realizing how depressing it sounded, as well as making him look like (in his words) a "bitter conspiracy nut".
- This often happens when deciding between episodes of a cartoon series for Animated Atrocities:
  - For Ed, Edd n Eddy, he was originally going to review "If It Smells Like An Ed", but found "Sorry, Wrong Ed" to be worse.
  - For Breadwinners, he was originally going to review "Stank Breath", but found "Love Loaf" to be worse.
- He planned on reviewing The Day My Butt Went Psycho!, but he found that, Audience-Alienating Premise aside, there was nothing really bad or good to critique.
- He planned to look at Sausage Party, but after learning of the many allegations about the film's Troubled Production, he announced that he's refusing to give the film any publicity, good or bad. He's refused to see the film at all. However, the fact that he brings the movie up in a positive light in his review of The Emoji Movie means that he's seen it and is either invoking Death of the Author to enjoy the film or is simply pulling an Enemy Mine with the film.
- In his face reveal vlog, he revealed that he unsuccessfully applied to join Channel Awesome. Considering the controversy that would end up surrounding the channel, he ultimately called this a good thing.
- At the end of his "Things Change" review, he announced that he was going to be reviewing Puella Magi Madoka Magica as a Patreon-sponsored review. He later announced in his Your Name review that he had refunded the request.
- He revealed in his review of The Loud House's "No Such Luck" episode that he was planning on doing Admirable Animations on two episodes of the show: "A Tattler's Tale" and "Undie Pressure". However, the controversy surrounding the show's creator Chris Savino caused him to cancel them due to the controversy painting certain aspects of the episodes in an awkward light^note.
- Animated Atrocities #200 was going to be High Guardian Spice, only to have The Boss Baby take its place due to the latter's weirdness, with the former eventually getting its own dedicated series.
Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things:
- In late January 2020, Enter deleted his Twitter account due to heavy backlash and criticism towards his Nick-O-Rama series, in addition to excessive hostility towards him in general. When he recreated his Twitter in 2021, he was very open about it being run by someone else.
- Around 2016, Enter deleted his Tumblr for then-unknown reasons. Later, in 2019, he revealed in his "dealing with my cyberstalker" video that this was solely due to a cyberstalker who had harassed him so much that he decided that the platform was more trouble than it was worth.
