YMMV / NearChris

• Bizarro Episode:
  • The now deleted Top 10N Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] Music video was presented almost entirely through text boxes. This ended being the main reason it was deleted.
  • Why Paper Mario: Color Splash is BETTER than Thousand Year Door and REAL Smash Ultimate DLC LEAK! are so far his only April Fools videos that aren't presented as fake trailers, with the former being a fake outrage video and the latter being a total recreation of another content creator's style.^note Said content creator being LaxChris who is infamous online for churning out videos on fake leaks
  • JACK FROST SAVES THE KIDS is the only video he has done that is an unscripted review.
  • The NEW Completionist: Paper Mario: Sticker Star is an Affectionate Parody of The Completionist, and the only video he's done that is a complete, non-sarcastic recreation of another creator's style.^note REAL Smash Ultimate DLC LEAK! was also a recreation of another creator's style (that being infamous YouTuber LaxChris), except that it was done specifically done as a sarcastic deconstruction towards him whereas The NEW Completionist is Played Straight and not intended as a Take That! against the original creator
  • While Joker: One Month Later is a pretty standard fair for one of Chris' reviews, the presentation is what makes it this as throughout the entire video he is on a green-screen which leads to more background and camera gags than usual.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Chris threatened that if the Persona music that made it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was purely instrumental, he would run over orphans.
  • During a (now deleted) stream on Kingdom Hearts III, right as the music drop in the game's intro theme was about to happen, he muted the in-game music...and replaced it with the intro music of Pro Jared. It can be seen here.
• Growing the Beard: Chris' videos had a noticable jump in quality starting around Late 2014/Early 2015.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Chris using a Louis C.K. clip in Top 10 Worst Fighting Games can come off as much more awkward nowadays following Louis admitting to sexually harassing women, especially since the clip he used was of Louis pretending to masturbate while talking about women...
  • The NEW Completionist: Paper Mario: Sticker Star video is obviously meant to be an Affectionate Parody of The Completionist, however a lot of jokes are harder to enjoy after the falling out between Jirard and Greg and the latter's subsequent actions.
  • Former The Completionist co-star Greg is said to have gone missing in The NEW Completionist: Paper Mario: Sticker Star. With Greg having a falling out with Jirard and subsequently leaving the show, this gag comes off as rather awkward now.
  • From the same video, Yungtown tells Chris that Jirard has been killed and Chris assumes a bear is what killed him. Years later, Greg (who was famous for the BEARS! Running Gag on the show) forced Jirard to remove all videos that had Greg in them, threatening legal action if he didn't comply.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • As revealed in Top 10 Blind Game Purchases, Chris bough the game Bully under the assumption that it allowed you to bully other kids which he felt would help him cope with the bullying he himself was receiving at the time. However, he quickly learned that the game was actually about trying to stop bullying, and he notes at the end of the segment that he was very glad he played it at that point in time implying it helped him cope but in a healthier way than he thought it would.
  • Chris held a Animal Crossing: New Horizons livestream on March 31st, 2020. It was a typical stream with a drinking game thrown in up until the 4 hour mark, where Chris after getting drunk on vodka began to cry and talk about several insecurities he had to his viewers. While the things discussed easily fall under Tear Jerker territory, the heartwarming part comes in when Chris began to use the opportunity to try and speak positively not just about himself but about the world as a whole. He thanked his viewers for supporting him, thanked his friends for sticking with him and wishing he could see them more, and even gave himself a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech saying that while he may not have a huge fanbase the fans he does have genuninely enjoy his content and support what he does no matter what. The whole time he also begged his sober self to not delete the stream saying people needed to hear this (and as of this writing the stream is still up!) and he received many uplifting and supportive messages from his chat.
  Twitch Chat: "Something tells me Chris has needed to tell himself these things for a long time"

• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In the "Frozen confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 3" April Fools video, Chris makes a joke about both Kingdom Hearts III: Ground Zeroes and Kingdom Hearts III-2 clearly mocking Kingdom Hearts' release timeline. However, both of these ended up becoming actual products years later in the forms of Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- and Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind.
  • In his Smash Ultimate Joker DLC review, he made a joke about Banjo-Kazooie being revealed as the next DLC characters one day before the duo was officially revealed for the game at Nintendo's E3 conference.
    • In the same video he made a similar joke regarding Sans from Undertale. 3 months later Sans was confirmed to be coming to the game!...as a Mii costume.

• Never Live It Down: Chris states in Top 10N Game Overs that his viewers will never let him forget that he used a jumpscare in his Cyber Chase review.

• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The jumpscare at the end of Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase.
  • The bizarre, possibly-spam bot channel shown at the end of Smash Masters of YouTube. Even Chris is disturbed by it, specifically when discussing the video it has posted on police brutality.
  • Chris discussing how he may be leading the viewer into a false sense of security in Top 10N Game Overs.
  • The deep-fried, deep-voice gag he pulls when particularly agitated.
  • Chris sticking a pair of scissors under his eye, seen below under Squick.
  • Just how many people did Chris kill after modding Undertale music into Super Smash Bros. 4?

• Squick:
  • This frame from McDonalds Games.◊
  • I'm sure an explanation on why Chris stating that he is going to garggle bleach jizz^note jizz that's been bleached from The Wonderful World of Smash Bros Mods is gross is unneeded.

• Tear Jerker: As he stated in his Top 5 Blind Game Purchases video, Chris was bullied in middle school and had bought the game Bully under the assumption that is was about bullying kids in an attempt to cope with the bullying he had experienced. Doubles as heartwarming as playing the game helped him deal with the experience in a healthy manner.
  • His explanation of how Suguru Kamoshida from Persona 5 made him feel in Top 10 Persona Bosses certainly counts as well.
