For trivia pertaining to the Yogscast in general, go here.

  • Creator Backlash:
    • Hannah, Smith and Ross have been fairly outspoken with regards to how they dislike the editing for Trials of Derpulies. This is partly because Hat Films and Team Flux Buddies get considerably less screentime, and also because the editing has made the Sirs look more grouchy than they actually are.
  • Development Hell: A new episode of Israphrel hasn't come out since 2012 and a new episode of Yoglabs hasn't come out since 2016.
  • Missing Episode:
    • Yog-Olympics, an Olympics map created by DaveChaos and gar, was taken down because it infringed on the Youth Olympics' trademark.
    • Around January 2014, all the parody music videos on all channels were made private, owing to copyright. Mirror uploads are still available, but their quality is mostly inferior and the majority are hour-long versions, "nightcore" and so on. Most have since been re-uploaded.
  • Old Shame: In this video, Lewis admits that he is not fond of the "Wizard Gandy" adventure map series that he and Simon Lane did, saying that it was one of the worst maps they have ever played. Sparkles*, who had that as his first video editing task at the time, also commented negatively, mentioning that he had to cut well over an hour of the duo raging. In an ironic twist, people started flooding in to watch the episode again shortly after.
  • Referenced by...:
    Simon: I ain't givin' up! I ain't givin' up! There's cake at stake, Lewis!
  • Throw It In!: Duncan's constant giggling during his conversation with Rythian was because he couldn't stay in character, but Rythian liked how it ended up making him look like a mad scientist.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • According to the wikia, Sjin and Sips tried getting Simon and Lewis' old guild member Yohi to join Sipsco, but he was away and Rythian ended up joining as an extra member of staff for their series.
    • The original lyrics for "Big Girl" were, according to Lewis on the 2013 Dwarven Dairy Livestream, much more offensive towards fat people than the guys deemed appropriate, and they had to get Sips to tone them down. Of course, given the internet, this may well have been for the best.
    • If the Twitter pages for Sparkles* and Sjin are any indication, there are a long list of parodies that will never see the light of day due to the whole copyright issue. Among these was a parody of a song from Frozen (2013) that Sjin really wanted to do. On the plus side, the copyright thing at least led to "MoonQuest", "Diggy Diggy Hole" and many other original songs.
    • A stream revealed an animation for Shadow of Israphel that is semi-finished, intended to accompany either the 43rd episode or a later one. It features the Jade Sentinel fighting Swampy and Fumblemore, the Skyhold, Isabel and the pirates, and the Templars, with the Jade Sentinel defeating them all. It is actually a dream sequence that Knight Peculier saw, meaning he was going to survive his plunge into the green lava, and would've likely reunited with Lewis and Simon had the series continued. The animation was being worked on so far back that Area 11 music, of the kind used to make the channel outro during the days of Jaffa Factory, was used as the soundtrack of said animation.
  • Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things:
    • From June 15th 2013, the comments section on the main channel, and later Rythian's, was shut off. Old videos don't seem to have been affected however. As of the end of August 2013, the comments were re-enabled.
    • Though, ironically the more stupid part of the fandom itself wasn't really to blame, apparently the final straw was people impersonating the Blue Xephos channel flag to steal people's personal information.
  • Writer-Induced Fanon: Strife's past is so strongly hinted at that fans developed plenty of theories about it. Some of which made it into actual canon.
