  • Broken Base: Reception over his Worst Ever videos about Google Stadia is divided going by the comment section. Some agree about his points (especially the disastrous launch), while some others do not have a problem with the service as he described and thus do not see why he made a big deal about it, even calling him and other Stadia haters the Vocal Minority. These arguments became Hilarious in Hindsight with the announcement of Stadia's shutdown in September 2022 - apparently Google agreed with Rerez.
  • Growing the Beard: By Shane and Adam's own admission, the Batman: Dark Tomorrow video was the turning point for the Just Bad Games series, as it established many of the series' signature elements and humor (such as silly imitations of the characters in the games covered, cutaway gags, and the Rapid-Fire Comedy) that took it from just a side-series to one of the staples of the channel.
  • He Panned It, Now He Sucks!:
    • For the most part their selection for bad games is valid. But their opinion on Pu·Li·Ru·La, an old Tatio arcade game, was met with some derision from viewers. While their criticism on the bad translation is justified (though most argue this is a 90's game and many games translated back then were far from perfect), the points about the hit box and just the weirdness of the game in general was commented that it felt like the writers were really reaching for complaints since it's easy to tell where the magic staff will hit on enemies and the weirdness is just part of the games charm, the writers likewise forgetting the game is set in a fantasy world to boot (The infamous bit with the legs in stage 3 was cut out in the international version and even then wasn't even that offensive). Those that have played the game citing that it is very playable and pretty easy if you know what you're doing, thus making the writers come off like they didn't do much research into the game.
    • A baffling selection was made in the "Positives & Negatives" series, with Star Fox Adventures being featured on the Negatives side. With a game already as polarized as Star Fox Adventures, one would think it would be more eligible for a Positives cover, as the video just repeats the negative aspects of the game countless other videos have already mentioned.
  • Special Effects Failure: A decent amount of the Just Bad Games episodes have the duo comment on the various graphical glitches of the games they play. Fast & Furious Crossroads even gets an entire section on its visual faults at the end of its review.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The duo point this out with ReBoot's Family-Unfriendly Death cutscenes, like Bob and Dot stuffed in Hexadecimal's lair.
    Shane (as Mike the TV): They're f*cking dead!
    • They also point this out about Phix: The Adventure, commenting that although it advertises itself as a "magnetically charged adventure for the whole family", it has very family-unfriendly elements such as the second boss Gorgonya's nudity, the Final Boss Señor Shogun almost committing Seppuku, and the insane difficulty.
