YMMV / Quinton Reviews

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: During the second Sam & Cat video, there's a commercial break with various commercials starring Schneiderverse actresses. Most are played untouched, but a Nesquik commercial starring Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy is edited so that the actresses appear to be playfully reacting to various news articles about Nestle's many ethical controversies, including child slavery, mass air pollution, and infant endangerment.
  • Friendly Fandoms: With Izzzyzzz, as both are video essayists with extreme loves for Garfield.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The final Sam & Cat video ends with a deliberately creepy teaser for a video on Dan Schneider, hinting at a serious analysis of Schneider's Bakery shows and the allegations surrounding the company culture. Unknown to Quinton at the time, ID would release a documentary miniseries, Quiet on Set, which would reveal even more damning evidence of misconduct on the set of Schneider's Bakery shows, including Brian Peck's sexual abuse of Drake Bell, making the tease a foreshadowing of something even worse than Quinton predicted. Quinton would delay his Schneider video to account for the information released in the documentary.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • In "The Decline of History Channel", Quinton says that he will create another video about other topics that could have fit into the video because he didn't want the video to be over an hour long, because he thinks that people wouldn't want to see something like that. Cut a few years in the future where he hit a great deal of popularity with absolutely Doorstopper videos that are longer than feature length.
    • In "The Timmy Turner Movies (A Fairly Odd Saga)", Quinton labels his review of the first film as "one of his longest", coming in at just 50 minutes. It is worth noting that the video was filmed in 2016-17.
  • Memetic Mutation:
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • At the end of The Collapse of Sam & Cat, there is a teaser for the upcoming Dan Schneider video, and it shows a static television with the faint image of Dan, while a Dark Reprise of his shows' theme songs plays faintly.
    • Near the end of "We Don't Talk About Dan Schneider," after Quinton sums up the culture around Schneider, the entire video replays on fast-forward with Deliberate VHS Quality, with creepy distorted audio playing from his shows, including some lines that are particular creepy in light of the workplace allegations (like Christopher Caine telling Victoria Justice, "I have embarrassing photos of you").
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously: Tim Russ' appearance in the Gibby! recreation is complete with a proper Principal Franklin costume paired with a performance that feels like he never stopped playing the character, which is a lot of effort on his part for a Cameonote  making him recite lines from the failed Gibby! pilot.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • The score for Quinton's Jon film was composed by Patricia Taxxon (then known by her deadname) who's since become one of the most popular artists in online Hyperpop. She is also a modestly successful youtuber herself, making analysis videos similar to Quinton's, albeit about vastly different subjects.
    • Later episodes of Fallen Titans have a theme song (the tail end of "Scarlet Fire" by Otis MacDonald), and that song is better known now for being the death of many a cheap set of earbuds.
