** "TMNT Argue Over Pizza" has Leo sarcastically call Donnie Billy Mitchell when the latter says he has the most points. This line can hit differently when years later, it was discovered Billy Mitchell had cheated at his high scores for Donkey Kong and Pac-Man.

** ''If Videogames Were 22% More Realistic'' ends on a [[SelfDeprecation self-deprecating]] gag about how Dorkly overused the "huh, neat" punchline and that it wasn't special anymore. This ended up being their second-last video (not including a compilation video of their 2019 content) before nearly the entire staff of Dorkly (as well as their sister channels ''Website/CollegeHumor'' and ''Drawfee'') were abruptly laid off without warning in January 2020 after they were sold off by their parent company.

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RJHkT9sRMM Princess Zelda's Press Conference]]'' has a Princess Zelda holding a press conference after being rescued from being kidnapped by Ganon, which is presented as something that has happened eight times before, as a transparent cover for Zelda and Ganondorf's secret relationship. In the actual games, most incarnations of Zelda have been kidnapped or otherwise endangered twice at most, some not even involving Ganon. Several commenters pointed out that it feels like an awkwardly copy-pasted Peach/Bowser sketch, which doesn't work for Zelda/Ganondorf at all.

Peter Parker tries scouring his phone for something, but comes up empty. Either his entire photo gallery is filled with spider-people doing photo-bombs, or he uses the camera on his phone for selfies.

** ''If Nintendo Owned Sonic''
has Sonic dreaming about how if Nintendo owned him, he wouldn't suffer from his games having bloated casts. This ignores that Mario as a franchise '''DOES''' have a huge cast of its own, just a small core of recurring ones, and Sonic had been the focus of his games for the past six years, with his supporting cast barely getting any focus (or at least not as much they did when they were first introduced).
*** In addition, the first one mentioned, Nack the Weasel (who hadn’t appeared outside of print since 1996 prior to Sonic Mania) is in fact [[WickedWeasel an enemy of Sonic’s]], but was mentioned as being “one of our lame friends”.
*** The joke also creates some FridgeLogic because Tails mentions that the Nintendo-owned Sonic has a few beloved spin-off series such as [[VideoGame/MarioKart Sonic Kart]] and [[VideoGame/MarioParty Sonic Party]]. Even if we assume Amy and Knuckles exist in this dream (since Sonic is never shown mentioning them in his LongList), how either of these series would last long without having a lot of secondary characters to work with goes unexplained.
** ''[[https://youtu.be/Fx5-lZIxz-M 5 Things About Dragon Ball Z That Make No Sense]]'' makes the typical "Goku makes dumb decisions" argument by pointing out the time he teleported Cell to King Kai's planet right when he self-destructed, arguing that he should have teleported Cell somewhere that wouldn't put innocent lives in danger. It's pointed out in-series that Goku can only teleport to places where he can sense life, so he had no choice but to trade 4 lives (his own, King Kai's, Bubbles' & Gregory's) for billions.
*** Within the same video, Goku is criticized as a bad father for making Gohan fight in the Saiyan Saga. Except Goku did no such thing, Piccolo did, Goku was dead at the time and when he did arrive, he told Gohan to stay out of the fight. Gohan got involved in the fight with Vegeta of his

** ''[[https://youtu.be/bOVx2y21IrA If Paramount Made Detective Pikachu]]'' was an attempt to make another jab at Sega as it was originally titled ''If Sega Made Detective Pikachu'', and it poked fun of all the things that were wrong with ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020''. As noted, the sequence describes the film being made by Sega, even though the film is actually made by Paramount. In the same regard, the toon also says that the actual ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' and ''Film/SuperMarioBros1993'' were films made by Nintendo. The Mario movie was made by Lightmotive while Detective Pikachu was made by Warner Bros. Neither video game company had involvement in either film's development. Dorkly admitted this mistake in the comments.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** A bit of a minor one, but in the short ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzZqxkkUHLc The Pokémon Most Disappointed With Their Evolutions]]'' they show Abra/Kadabra/Alakazam disappointed and upset that not one but ''both'' of his evolutions include cutlery for some reason. As many fans posted in the comments afterward, they missed a perfect opportunity to point out that Alakazam's Mega Evolution increases his spoon count even further.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goYavO71deA How the Fantastic Four Would ACTUALLY React to Their Powers]]'' is about the Fantastic Four freaking out about how their powers would affect their genitals. Yet later on, the Silver Surfer, a nude ChromeChampion ''[[BarbieDollAnatomy with no privates at all]]'' shows up, and they don't react to this at all.
** Some felt that an opportunity was missed to make a ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' joke in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiUmCjNo-Gc The Truth About Pokémon PCs]]'', considering that the Pokémon were inside what they called the "Digital World".
** The ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQyC-uo0PoQ&ab_channel=Dorkly "Game Character" Meets With His Agent]]'' videos had a lot of potential to be a long runner series due to the number of game characters out there that Dorkly could have played around with. However, they pretty much decided to drop the series completely after the Agent's voice actor moved on from the company.
