* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Many of Buckley's rants deal with then-current topics. Sometimes, he deliberately invokes and lampshades this in his videos, often mentioning music acts popular at the time of release, usually prospective one hit wonders (e.g., OMI in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRZmF0u8E94 Twitter and Celebrity Worship]]", DNCE in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37LH0_A5vvo YouTube vs The Record Labels: Goliath vs Goliath]]", etc).

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: He's gotten this a few times, particularly on his "Top 10 worst songs of [year]" lists. At the beginning of "The 10 Worst Songs of 2013", Buckley briefly laments how alternative rock "has went from this (''plays clip of Music/TheSmashingPumpkins'') to this (''plays a clip of "Breezeblocks"'')". Needless to say, this ''really'' didn't go well with Music/AltJ fans. Especially when you consider Alt-J technically aren't even an alternative rock band [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly in the traditional sense]].

* CriticalResearchFailure: Even though Buckley [[ShownTheirWork shows his work]] and often exaggerates for comedy, he does slip up on occasion.
** In his Worst Songs of 2014 video, he says the only way Paramore's 'Ain't it Fun" (particularly its message about living in the real world) could have made sense was if Hayley Williams was singing it to herself. As Williams stated in many interviews (and even confirmed in a reply tweet about the video), the song was about exactly that. Specifically, it's about how she felt insecure after the band moved from Nashville to L.A. and was telling herself to toughen up. However, Buckley later said in a Reddit post that this knowledge did not improve his opinion of the song, since he felt that Williams had been successful for too long to know anything about the real world. He also said in his Musical Autopsy of Nickelback's "Must Be Nice," which he considers to have a similar theme, that while Hayley Williams took the video in good humor, it seemed like a convenient excuse for a reply to a critique that harsh.
** In his Musical Autopsy of "Bitch Better Have My Money," he says that Rihanna hasn't had a #1 hit since "Diamonds" in 2012. If he meant songs where she's the lead artist, he's right; however, she did technically have another #1 hit as a featured artist on Eminem's "The Monster." Also, he had mentioned in 2014 that Juicy J got credited with a #1 hit as the featured artist on Katy Perry's "Dark Horse".
** In his Musical Autopsy of Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise (Remix)," he says the only previous notable rap/country collaboration up to that point was Nelly and Music/TimMcGraw's "Over and Over." Shortly before the video was released, Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accident Racist" was making headlines (if not for the right reasons), and Jason Aldean's remix of "Dirt Road Anthem" with Ludacris had been a top 10 pop hit two years earlier.
** In his Musical Autopsy of LMFAO, he misquotes a handful of the lyrics to "Sexy and I Know it," including "And like Bruce Leroy I got the glow," which he identifies as "They like Bruce Lee rock at the club."
** He names Muse's "Psycho" as a dishonorable mention for his Worst of 2015 list based on a passage that isn't part of the song proper. It was an album interlude that was tacked on to some versions of the "Psycho" single, but it's still considered a separate track.
** In "The Ten Worst Songs of 2017," Buckley misses a clear reference to Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera in Taylor Swift's song "Ready For It," which included the simile "like a phantom holding you for ransom." He then goes on to joke about how ridiculous it would be if a ghost started sending people notes promising not to haunt them in exchange for money, despite this being exactly what the phantom of the opera does.
** During the "Top Ten Worst Songs of 2010" he adds "Trey Day" by Music/TreySongz on the list, despite being released in 2007.

** While Buckley's anger is usually PlayedForLaughs, him getting angry over Mike Kogan telling people to "[[WhatAnIdiot educate themselves with]] Website/UrbanDictionary" in Scumbags of the Internet 4 sounds like he is genuinely angry.
