* Terrance's return for the [[Series/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians2023 Percy Jackson]] reviews, slicing open a portal with a sword, tossing away a cigarette, and greeting viewers with his new catchphrase.
-->'''Terrance''': [[SmugSuper Hello, Mortals.]]

* His episode on ''Film/TheRoom2003'', which supposedly covers the obscure 1976 Polish novel it was based on, ''The Room I Died In''. Of course, given that the author of this book is named [[AprilFoolsDay Prima Aprillis]], viewers are already likely aware of the video's true nature. And yet, Dom plays it completely straight till the very end, not even signing off with a jovial "April fools!" as is tradition for the holiday. The episode is structured like every other in the series (complete with a song by Il Neige that's about what happens in the "book" like in the other songs), the "source material" re-contextualizes infamous moments from the film in a realistic manner that avoids tipping its hand with obvious absurdism (Dom doesn't invent a re-contextual reason for the prominent spoon imagery in the film, for example), and the "book's" "author" has a detailed history, complete with a photo and fictional covers for other books that he's written. The result is a video that's not only hilarious for those in on the joke, but also a successful prank that actually managed to fool people!

Added DiffLines:

** His later episode of ''Film/TheDisasterArtist'', where he calls out Tommy Wiseau's abusive behavior towards Greg Sestero and the rest of the cast and crew of ''Film/TheRoom2003''
---> '''Dom''': He doesn't deserve fans. Even if they're laughing at him.

* He decided to sever ties between ''Lost in Adaptation'' and ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' over Creator/JKRowling's Transphobia, despite his overwhelming love for the franchise.
** On top of this, Terrence disposes of his wands and is looking pensive until he gets a letter from his father. It turns out that he isn't a Half-blood, [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians he's a Half-Blood.]]

* During his review of Series/GoodOmens2019 he was surprised like everyone else it would be getting a season 2. While he admits it may not be as good as the first season, he's looking forward to seeing what content Terry Pratchett as it mean there will still be some of his writing left.
** Earlier when retelling how Neil Gaiman jumped onto co-writing Good Omens with Terry Pratchett was like, "Michelangelo phoning me to ask if I wanted to paint a ceiling together".

** He additionally adds that he does acknowledge that Snape's actions eventually contributed greatly to the fall of Voldemort, it's just that all of his actions that didn't pertain to that goal showed that he was a bully. He offers a challenge- talk about Snape's actions towards Harry and Nevile to an actual teacher, and he guarantees that that educator's face will go ''white with horror.''

* He and Terrence (okay, so technically just him since they're the same person) call out the overwhelming love for Severus Snape and how he was "Good All Along." He points out that it doesn't matter that he was in love with someone, he was a bully who targeted people who had done him no wrong, to the point where he openly states Neville might have become just as dumb and useless as Snape liked to make him out to be just from the bullying. He might think that Creator/AlanRickman played the character well, and that the "Always" line gives him feelings, but it doesn't diminish his opinion that Snape was absolutely awful.
