* IKnewIt: Many people have speculated that Board James [[spoiler:is really WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, either as an alter ego of his or the person who would later become the Nerd. The "Video Games !!" episode reveals that Board James and the Nerd are the same person all along.]]

I don't feel it qualifies as Narm. It's part of the joke that Mike and James are being terrorized by this plastic bucket.


* {{Narm}}:
** Despite the Dream Phone episode being a fairly effective horror movie pastiche otherwise, the revelation that [[spoiler:''the phone'' was the killer]] is rather silly -- particularly when it [[spoiler:starts going around the house ''holding a knife.'' Yes, a ''phone'' somehow holding a ''knife'' by its side. Later events suggest that James killed his friends this was all a hallucination to deny that, which may lessen the silliness.]]
** The Mr. Bucket episode, which was also DarkerAndEdgier. The fact that James and Mike allow themselves to be terrorized by ''a fucking plastic bucket'' says a lot. One instance has James tells Mr. Bucket to get away from him and instead attack Mike, and the bucket obliges. James then comes over and acts terrified as if he didn't just let the event unfolding in front of his eyes occur.

** In the Mr. Bucket review, he keeps joking about how dirty a concept Mr. Bucket is. Suffice to say that [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} it was hardly the last time buckets were seen as dirty]].

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* CriticalResearchFailure: In ''Weapons and Warriors'', James claims the army side gets the crossbow while the castle side gets the cannon, which isn't fair as it's the most accurate weapon. This is actually reversed [[AllThereInTheManual according to the manual]], which makes sense considering cannons were historically known for destroying castle walls. No wonder James had so much trouble as the army.

Up to Eleven is now defunct


** James' acting from the end of "Dream Phone" onwards is genuinely impressive in showcasing a man [[spoiler:that's gone batshit crazy]]. "13 Dead End Drive" takes the acting talent UpToEleven.

* [[GirlShowGhetto Girl-Game Ghetto]]: Despite ''Dream Phone'' having been made with little girls in mind, it seemed to break out of it when James, Mike, and Bootsy said in the review that they actually enjoyed playing the game themselves.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** An episode of [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd a certain other web series]] has the titular character realize [[spoiler:he doesn't have any friends to play a game with him. He also has to 'resurrect' someone just to have someone to play with]].
** Bootsy's in-series position as TheFriendNobodyLikes is harder to stomach after his departure from Cinemassacre, particularly on bad terms with Mike.

** Bootsy's outburst at the start of the "Wacky Blasters" episode is surprisingly genuinely acted.
