History YMMV / Slowbeef

** In the ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' [[GameMod Justin]] [[{{Stripperiffic}} Bailey]] LP, Samus is a ValleyGirl/Stripper, Crocomire an {{Otaku}} shut-in, Draygon an OverprotectiveDad/adulterer and Ridley is a forum troll who's also into online dating.

* WeirdAlEffect: As discussed in one of LetsPlay/ProtonJon's [=LPs=], Slowbeef's Ridley voice is now known to some people unaware of where it comes from (an exaggerated version of Ricardo Irving's voice from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''). One likely cause is its frequent use in Retsupurae videos hosted on [=YouTube=], while the Metroid [=LPs=] remained on less-traveled video hosting sites until 2013.

* HilariousInHindsight:

** Diabetus has a rather uncanny ability to make jokey predictions that turn out at least partially true.

** While Diabetus is struggling with a boss in his Metroid Fusion LP (which was recorded during slowbeef's Metroid Prime LP) slowbeef smugly points out that he hasn't died three times to a boss yet. This is true [[spoiler:until the Dark Aurora Unit which takes him six tries to kill.]]

* [[JustHereForGodzilla Just Here For Ridley]]: After the ''Corruption'' LP was uploaded to Website/YouTube, the most watched video by far is the Omega Ridley battle, with five times the hits of the videos immediately before and after it. There are also minor peaks for the Meta Ridley fight in the first game and the Amorbis fight in the second.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Arguably Toffile, who made his first ''Metroid Prime'' LP appearance as a straight man to Khad. His appearances in the ''Echoes'' LP were far better, as he served as a knowledgeable and effective guide while telling enough straight-faced lies to make "Toffile lied!" a RunningGag. However...

* TheWeirdAlEffect: As discussed in one of LetsPlay/ProtonJon's [=LPs=], Slowbeef's Ridley voice is now known to some people unaware of where it comes from (an exaggerated version of Ricardo Irving's voice from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'').

** Pretty much any time he talks about his daughter. His ''[[Franchise/{{Touhou}} Subterranean Animism]]'' 1cc stream has him turning the game's story into a bedtime story for his daughter.

* BaseBreaker: [=ShiddyKat=], slowbeef's wife. Some people love her for her snarky wit and [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple interactions with slowbeef]], other people find her significant lack of video game metaknowledge and skill irritating and wish slowbeef would stop bringing her into his streams.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Quite a few in his ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'' screenshot LP

* DiscreditedMeme: ZigZaggedTrope. Slowbeef mentions in a Retsutalk that he's starting to get sick of the Ridley voice; when he uses it again in an informal "race" of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' and Ragny calls him out on this, Slowbeef's response is (still in the Ridley voice, of course): "Screw that!"

* [[JustHereForGodzilla Just Here For Ridley]]: After the ''Corruption'' LP was uploaded to YouTube, the most watched video by far is the Omega Ridley battle, with five times the hits of the videos immediately before and after it. There are also minor peaks for the Meta Ridley fight in the first game and the Amorbis fight in the second.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The final episode of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''. After the FanDumb harassed him through the whole LP over his accidental killing of Eingyi, slowbeef goes back to Quelaag's Sister in NewGamePlus after getting the Old Witch's Ring. He listens to her dialogue, [[spoiler:and then clubs her and Eingyi to death with the Demon's Great Hammer]].

* HilariousInHindsight: In the ''Metroid Prime'' Let's Play, Diabetus jokingly says he'd like to see Samus in ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive''. Then came the news of [[http://www.gamedynamo.com/article/showarticle/646/en/Metroid_Stage_in_Dead_or_Alive_Dimensions_for_3DS a Metroid themed stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions.]]
** At one point Diabetus points out that they're getting the Grapple Beam awfully late, considering Samus started the game with it. "You've beaten Metroid Prime! Your prize: the Grapple Beam!" Compare this with the way Power Bombs are actually treated in ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''.

** In the LP of the first VideoGame/DeadToRights, the duo have a lot of fun [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation interpreting]] [[CowboyCop Jack Slate]] as a bloodthirsty sociopath. In VideoGame/DeadToRights Retribution, that's pretty much his canon personality!

* TheScrappy: Khad, according to slowbeef. He was unfortunate enough to make his debut in the Metroid Prime [=LP=] in a video that ran through a gamut of technical difficulties. In fact, around 80% of the video is composed of Khad complaining about his audio and slowbeef hurling insults at him.

* ArcFatigue: The length of the ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' trilogy takes its toll on him. When he manages to get Proteus4994 to guest on a ''Corruption'' video, many of his comments are incredulous that slowbeef is ''still'' playing it.
* BaseBreaker: [=ShiddyKat=], slowbeef's wife. Some people love her for her snarky wit and [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple interactions with slowbeef]], other people find women threatening and wish slowbeef would stop bringing her into his streams.
* BizarroEpisode: In [[http://bd.baldurk.org/1660 this video]] the commentary turns into a heated Mac vs. PC debate between slowbeef and guest proteus4994, respectively.

* BaseBreaker: [=ShiddyKat=], slowbeef's wife. Some people love her for her snarky wit and [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple interactions with slowbeef]], other people find her near-total lack of video game metaknowledge and skill irritating and wish slowbeef would stop bringing her into his streams.

** This is exacerbated by Khad's growing Scrappy status on SomethingAwful in general, even to a point of gaining the ire of [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Blister]], of all people, shown in his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech during [[http://bd.baldurk.org/1783#title this ill-attempted Retsupurae of Diabetus's Metroid Fusion LP with Khad]] (at the 2-minute mark).

* DiscreditedMeme: ZigZaggedTrope. Slowbeef mentions in a Retsutalk that he's starting to get sick of the Ridley voice; when he uses it again in an informal "race" of SuperMetroid and Ragny calls him out on this, Slowbeef's response is (still in the Ridley voice, of course): "Screw that!"

** When he appeared on Retsutalk, [=MegaManNG=]/[=MegaJose=] was fairly divisive. However, in slowbeef's first Sonic 2006 stream, his behavior was outright reviled, largely for his excessive anger.

** For the first few videos of the Sonic 2006 stream reuploaded to Youtube, many viewers found MegaJose to be this, mainly for shouting, interrupting people, doing annoying voices, repeating the same lines over and over, acting like a jerk to slowbeef and TurboC, giving slowbeef confusing information about the game and spoiling segments of the game that come later.
