YMMV / Call Me Kevin

Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Default, a completely generic Mii that Kevin created for his Tomodachi Life videos. She has a default appearance, default clothes, and her parameteres in the game are dead-center, giving her no unique aspect to her personality. And yet his fans have really taken to her, which Kevin actually lampshades in his Tomodachi Life videos.
  • Heartwarming Moments:
    • Kevin's playthrough of his favourite game, Hype: The Time Quest. It has none of his usual trolling, which just illustrates how he wants to do his childhood game justice.
    • Kevin playing Among Us features him befriending fellow players Once an Episode, with Kevin defending all of them against accusations and accompanying them in doing tasks. This gets to the point that he and one of the friends he made mutually refuse to kill one another when Impostors and said friend not revealing he saw Kevin enter a vent in front of them (which Kevin did on purpose to show he was the Impostor). Unfortunately, when the episodes end, he loses his new friends. Especially peepeepoopoo, whose loss makes Kevin omit his usual outro.
    • Kevin showing genuine concern for Jodie and even doing the events in Beyond: Two Souls when the jerks at the party decide to be horrible.
    • In his Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix playthrough, Kevin initially jokes about liking Dolores Umbridge just to piss off the Harry Potter fandom. That is, until she goes after Hagrid, at which point he goes into Let's Get Dangerous! mode.
    • At the 2019 TwitchCon in Berlin, he was introduced (by RT, of all people!) to chess player and streamer AnnaChess a.k.a. Anna Rudolf. The two eventually wound up dating and living together. This video is a lovely slice of life that shows Kevin and Anna visiting the convention, having fun and getting Daniel a gift for his birthday.
    • His 2021 video on the Ouya ends on a happy note, with Kevin realizing that the Ouya can be used to play old games from his childhood and the video shows him actually having fun on the Ouya. He even admits that he has a soft spot for the Ouya, as his video on it helped grow his channel. Kevin hopes to turn the Ouya into a fun little retro console using emulators and hopes that the viewers enjoyed the video.
    • The relationship between Kevin and his "mother" during a playthrough of One Hour One Life had all the audience gushing about how wholesome it was. His mother coached him through the game, repeatedly praised and helped him as he struggled to catch up, took him aside before she died, and then returned to him after being reincarnated, even trying to get his attention as a baby. For Kevin's part, he grew genuinely attached to her, repeatedly coming to ask her advice or show her what he'd accomplished, being troubled when she died, and overjoyed when she came back.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In one of his playthroughs for Beyond: Two Souls, Kevin tries to make Jodie walk into the men's toilet while saying "Male toilet sounds good to me, cause I am a male". Five months after the video's upload, Jodie's actor Elliot Page came out as a trans man.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • Bore Ragnarok explanation 
    • The Johnny Cash song “Ring of Fire”, and to a lesser extent Johnny Cash songs in general explanation 
    • Jim Pickens, our glorious leader explanation 
    • Turg explantion 
    • When Kevin moved to Spain in July 2021, his fans were quick to joke about it being linked to the murders committed by Jim Pickens and his Bitlife characters.
