History YMMV / EqualsThree

* HarsherInHindsight: The =3 video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs-rgXUu448 TOO FAT TO DIE!]] features a video by Randy Stair, who in 2017 would murder three people (including himself) at a Weiss market he worked for.

* AcceptableTargets: Used as this in comments of several videos, especially in the fandoms of other Website/YouTube channels like Creator/{{Nigahiga}} and WebVideo/{{Smosh}}. Other creators, such as WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}}, target him more directly.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t53TcKIlMc "Doin' Your Mom"]] has made quite the cultural resurgence in recent years.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** "Doin' Your Mom", "Stalkin' Your Mom", hell, many, if not most, of the songs from Your Favorite Martian, for that matter.
** Also, Eduard "Mr. Trololo" Khil.
** The Stereotypes Song.
* CoveredUp: At one point, the Your Favorite Martian cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57h_TP84g78 "Just a Friend"]] had over twice the views of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aofoBrFNdg original]]. To be fair, the original's from long before the times of Website/YouTube. Ray may have actually increased awareness of the song with his cover.
* CrossoverShip: Benatar and [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Zoey]]
* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** The more recent songs from Your Favorite Martian fall under this. Topic matter includes violently beating kids for anything slightly annoying, opening a new store dedicated to selling sexy ass cheeks, getting drunk so ugly girls will look hot, and dumping an otherwise-okay girl because of her smell [[spoiler:(it's not even her)]]. Even compared to earlier edgy songs, there are more harsh lyrics that seem to exist only to be more vulgar.
** Toned down with "Friend Zone" which is probably the most heartfelt once they've done in a while and has relatively little vulgarity.

* CriticalResearchFailure: "Fight to Win" has two cases:
** The mispronounciation of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu's]] name is a starter. [[note]]they pronounce it as Rai-yu as opposed to Ree-yu[[/note]] There was also the addition of having him shout "Shoryuken!" while the subtitles read "Hadouken!" while performing the move Tatsumaki Sepyukyaku.
** [[{{VideoGame/Tekken}} Panda]] is referred to as a he, but she's actually a girl and it was never a case of SamusIsAGirl in the original series either.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Creator/BillCosby's appearance in "Orphan Tears" can be this in light of the sexual abuse cases that have permanently damaged his reputation.
** The =3 video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs-rgXUu448 TOO FAT TO DIE!]] features a video by Randy Stair, who in 2017 would murder three people (including himself) at a Weiss market he worked for.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[http://youtu.be/LpcNDIFWt2o The Unofficial Smithers Love Song]] can also be something of TearJerker at the end.

* HoYay: The music video for ''Somebody that I Used to Know'' has Puff singing Kimbra's part from the original. If you know the context of the song, it could possibly appear that he's singing it to ''Benatar''.

** Averted ''gloriously'' with Robby Motz being the show's new host. People warmed up very well to Robby and see him as a younger version of Ray, as well as having a huge blend of sarcasm and upbeat humor.
** And played ''gloriously'' straight with Robby's replacement, Kaja Martin. The first video that didn't have an overwhelming dislike ratio since her debut as a new host was... the video where Ray informed everyone she was stepping down. Keep in mind, ''Robby'' stayed longer than Kaja. Holy crap. And it had less to do with her being the new host and more of her comedy style being vastly different compared to Robby's.
* TheScrappy: Catt Lauer's "reports" weren't particularly well received, so Ray had him executed live in his (Ray's) birthday episode. [[spoiler:Too bad CatsHaveNineLives.]]
* TearJerker:
** "Friend Zone". Oh God, "Friend Zone".
** "Alien", which depicts an alien being bullied to the brink. [[spoiler:Thankfully, [[ThrowTheDogABone he meets a girl alien at the end]].]]
** Ray's departure from the show was pretty shocking and depressing, especially when you've watched him for so long.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
** While the animation style got a bit of a redo, there were several comments on the Whip Yo Kids video complaining about [[NostalgiaFilter how they liked the old animation better]].
** See ReplacementScrappy above.
** The format change to five one-review videos a week from two three-review videos a week.
* ValuesDissonance: Songs like "Transphobic Techno" or "Booty" have tended to leave a bad taste for society since the mid-to-late 2010s, given how transphobia and body-shaming have begun to be taken seriously. Even some of Ray's off-color jokes back when he ran ''Equals Three'' wouldn't fly today.

** The more recent songs from Your Favorite Martian are falling under this.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Creator/BillCosby's appearance in "Orphan Tears" can be this in light of the rape allegations case going on.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOIYL7TcwA4 BAD KIDS]] - "''Don't f*** your kids up. They don't deserve that. Anyway, guys, sorry I had, like, a Bill Cosby moment there. Some things just NEED to be said.''"
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Q2cXLhHhU SANTA HATES POOR KIDS]], while crossing the line by depicting Santa as a pedophile, drives a fair point about how poor people cannot enjoy the concept of SantaClaus.
