Alas, Poor Scrappy: When Drunky McPanda the Spinda died in the Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Nuzlocke, PBG initially jokes about about how he won't be missed due to how useless he was in battle, but then quickly goes back on what he said a few minutes later when he actually has to release him in the Pokémon Box.
PBG:: I feel like I'm, like, letting my pet go or something. He wasn't really a warrior, but he was funny...I liked him...
Awesome Music: "Open Your Eyes", a song tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild produced as a joint effort between PBG, singer Garrett Williamson, and Yungtown. Along with the song itself being incredible, you'll be surprised at how good of a singer PBG actually is, especially if you're used him singing his silly songs in his normal videos.
Crosses the Line Twice: In his "Top 10 Jerks" video, not only does he kill all the kids in Skyrim, he piles them on a fire.
In his Super Mario 64 Hacking video he quickly mentions a hack that causes Mario's health to decrease over time. In his Chaos Edition Playthrough, the health drain simply doesn't let PBG win, and activates itself whenever it causes the most problems.
In his Tomodachi Life video, he notes that when playing Tomodachi Life, the Mii he made of ProJared continually tried to romance the Mii he made of Unicornism (his real-life girlfriend), and when his Mii and Unicornism's Mii eventually have a child together, he warns ProJared to "keep his hands off her". This became somewhat less funny to watch in hindsight after ProJared was accused of cheating on his wife.
During the seventh episode of Goodwill Games, PBG repeatedly jokes about how close he is to the two million subscriber milestone; sure enough, he soon passed that threshold...only to fall back below it due to losing a bunch of subscribers from the crossfire of the ProJared incident.note To explain, when news of the scandal first broke, PBG posted a comment expressing skepticism of the accusations; he later apologized for this, admitting that he had initially been afraid to believe that someone he'd been friends with for so long could do such a thing, but by that point the damage had been done.
Heartwarming in Hindsight: Mixed with Hilarious in Hindsight. In his Animal Crossing: New Horizons review, there's a segment where he lamented that some features and characters are absent from the game, two of them being Crazy Redd and Brewster. However, just a few weeks after his video was released, the former was reintroduced to New Horizons in an update, and the latter would also be subsequently reintroduced via an update planned for October 2021.
His review of Sonic Heroes is basically a repeat of what a lot of critics of the series have already said for years, such as the characters speaking too much and how having Sonic as the sole playable character would be an "improvement".
To a lesser extent, his MySims reviews. While most people aren't complaining (mostly because the series is really obscure compared to its parent series), those who did play the My Sims and enjoyed it were quick to criticize Peebs for being nitpicky and not paying attention to the game's positive merits, like the fun, interesting characters and cute aesthetic. This post, while not mentioning PBG by name, weighs in on the matter in more detail.
In his "Top 10 Suckiest Enemies in Video Games" video, PBG said this: "Usually I don't talk about the Zelda CD-i games. Like Nintendo, I just prefer to pretend like they never existed.” Two years later, he did a video on The Faces of Evil for Zelda Month. And then he did The Wand of Gamelon for the following Zelda Month.
In his video of Ghost Riding The Whip, one of the lines has PBG say how he never can get a date... shortly after, he got together with his girlfriend, Unicornism.
In his Putt-Putt Does Some Things video, he jokingly talks about how the lawn-mowing minigame in Putt-Putt Joins the Parade teaches children that "hard work is for chumps" since you don't have to actually mow the whole lawn. Later on, in a developer commentary for one of the other games, a former writer for Humongous revealed that they actually got a complaining letter from an upset mother who wondered how she was supposed to teach her kid to work hard when the game taught him the exact opposite, under the exact same scenario.
In Part 3 of his review of the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, PBG does a sketch where he tries to introduce a celebrity cameo, only for some random weirdo (also played by PBG) to appear instead. The celebrity Peebs was expecting? Chris Pratt, who has now been cast as Mario himself in The Super Mario Bros. Movie! Peebs even played the clip in question during his reaction video to the September 2021 Nintendo Direct that announced the cast for that movie.
Peebs is known for his love of Arthur. Come the finale where a Time Skip shows Arthur as a 28-year-old...and he looks like PBG.
"I apologize for that!"Explanation A line from his Link: The Faces of Evil review, in reaction to the YouTube Poop he made for the video. Appropriately, it became a meme in YouTube Poop itself, often used as an apology for A. a particularly line-crossing joke B. use of an overused meme, or C. as Lampshade Hanging for Stylistic Suck moments.
SAID MOM.Explanation During his review of "Arthur's Computer Adventure", PBG lampshades the game's particularly... strange delivery of this line. It's gotten to the point that this is now the first reply on practically every comment on every Arthur-related video on his channel, and even some of his other videos.
Luigi you're so freaking sexy Explanation His video about hacking Super Mario Galaxy had him sing a song to the tune of "Gusty Garden Galaxy" about how sexy Luigi is, leading to this song appearing in other videos.
“I can hear birds.” Explanation During his “Top Worst 3DS Games,” he reviews the video game of Power Rangers Megaforce and he points out how Troy blurts this out constantly.
Nausea Fuel: The bowl of Reese's Puffs cereals, Mountain Dew, Gatorade drinks, chips, Sneaker bars and mayonnaise Peebs makes in the end of SELL-OUT Video Games!. His revulsed reaction to merely tasting it confirms it's as gross as you'd think.
