* Tropers/{{Kuuenbu}}: In his "SuperNES vs. SegaGenesis" video, he lets his {{bias|Steamroller}} [[CriticalResearchFailure get the]] [[StrawFan better]] [[{{Strawman}} of him]] and says that, unlike with the SNES controller, you can only press one Genesis gamepad button at a time. Any idiot who has ever held a Genesis[=/=]MegaDrive controller for 10 seconds knows you can press two (or even three, though it's difficult and counter-intuitive) buttons simultaneously by adjusting the angle of your palm. Given how much he seems to be attempting a fair analysis, this {{egregious}} offense makes his self-admitted bias just plain {{facepalm}}-inducing. You'd think this would be something so obvious that no moron could possibly fall for it, but if [[JamesRolfe James fucking Rolfe]] could be this dumb, it wouldn't be that big a stretch to see pre-teen Nintendo fanboys watching that video and saying "You see, you can't press more than one button on {{Sega}} like you can on Creator/{{Nintendo}}! I told you Nintendo is what Genesisn't[[hottip:*:yes, there really was a SNES ad that used this phrase]]!"

** Tropers/{{Midna}}: For me, it was probably Gadget's "I love building brown bricks with Minecrap" spiel. It would have been mildly amusing, if infantile, if it was only said once... but then he just keeps saying it over and over for almost half a minute. One gets the impression that Matei thought the scene was comedy gold and wanted to milkit for all it was worth.

* @/{{ilovedededeAGAIN}}: The Mr. Bucket episode of ''Board James'' is my breaking point of the series. Why? Because the episode entirely focuses on the "suck on your balls" joke. I know the Mr. Bucket commercial was already controversial for it's AccidentalInnuendo, but this episode takes it like the joke is real (and yes, it is). And it's not only bad, it's also scary. Really scary (NightmareFuel, anyone?). And how about the scene when Mr. Buckets sucks on Mike's balls? This episode is the worst of the series.

** Tropers/{{taylorkerekes}}: I don't have a problem with his 100th video, as, aside from being far more detailed than TheIrateGamer's review, it shows a little bit of versatility on his part which is more or less a good thing. The buffalo taking a dump at the end of his ''StarWars'' review, on the other hand, though it might be a slight nod to the theme song, so to speak, I will agree that it was quite unnecessary.

** @/{{Kuuenbu}}: The NightmareFuel element is {{Justified|Trope}}. James is a fan of {{horror}} films and the episode is constructed as one.

James Rolfe, we love you to death, but every once in a while, you put out something that makes us all wonder: What were you thinking?

* PurpleShirt: For me, it was the last half of his ''{{Castlevania}}'' reviews. The main reason was he made a huge CriticalResearchFailure twice. ''Castlevania64'' has its share of flaws, but what he calls a "Fatal Flaw" is in fact his own inability to press the "interact" button. What makes this even more FacePalm worthy is that he somehow never thought of trying that button, given that he made it that far in the game. Maybe he's saying it's what happened when he was a kid, but even then, he never states it, nor does he try to correct this flaw when he's an adult. What's also bad is he's shown using the "interact" button earlier on, so he clearly knows it's there. His second one was where he says "...In ''DawnOfSorrow'', Dracula's Castle appears over Japan." That's Aria of Sorrow. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, but he kind of shows he didn't really bother to play ''DawnOfSorrow'' much. (Given that in the game, you are Dracula, you'd think he'd be intrigued.) He's normally pretty good about doing his reading, but honestly James, I'm disappointed.

** @/{{Kuuenbu}}: Pretty sure the NightmareFuel element was intentional from the get-go. And sure, the whole "Mr. Bucket wants to suck your balls" angle is something any middle schooler could come up with, but Rolfe and Matei did a pretty good job of creatively implementing it. Remember, Rolfe is a big horror movie fan, and has made many himself before he shifted his focus to AVGN in 2006. The episode was a way of combining all three of his biggest loves ({{Horror}}, SubvertedInnocence and ToiletHumor) together, making it one of his most iconic works.

[[folder:Motherfucker Mike]]* fluffything: While "Motherfucker Mike" is something of a hit-n-miss character (I like the Glitch videos he does, but not much else), his "commentary" of [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo In Grouchland]] is just awful. Him constantly [[OverusedRunningGag (and I do mean constantly)]] whining about Elmo in the video is bad enough, but that's not the worst of it. Now, the absolute low-point is a joke he makes (that has absolutely nothing to do with the film) regarding Cookie Monster seeing Gordon and his wife (I forget her name) having sex completele with poorly-drawn illustration (Though, thankfully, the more "graphic" elements are censored). Really? A pointless sex joke during a review of a children's movie? DudeNotFunny. Not funny in the least.

[[folder:Motherfucker Mike]]
* fluffything: "Motherfucker Mike" is a character from Board James. It is a handle that Mike Matei dropped in 2011. Since 2010 Mike has been doing his own game reviews. These are not the "Motherfucker Mike" character. His game reviews are straight forward reviews done from his personal perspective. Many criticize his "commentary" of [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo In Grouchland]]. Mike said in a video that he did with James Rolfe that he did not like how that particular video came out.

* Tropers/RA2: Another video often misunderstood by Mike Matei was a video about Minecraft which guest stared Inspector Gadget. At the time, Minecraft videos had become very popular on Youtube, effectively taking over most of YouTubes featured gaming sections. In response to all these poorly hashed out Minecraft videos (mostly done by young kids with little video making talent) Matei made his own Minecraft video. Which was made to be terrible on purpose (though many people missed that joke and took it for face value, which is why it gets criticized) The video is a parody of the rampant overflow of poorly made Minecraft related videos that spew out from Youtube like a virus.

** Tropers/{{Caiaphasthesympathist}}: The original description for said video mentioned that it was a "way to poke fun at Minecraft videos, which are plaguing YouTube". Unfortunately, because the majority of the audience misunderstood the video, it was taken down.

** Tropers/{{Midna}}: For me, it was probably Gadget's "I love building brown bricks with Minecrap" spiel. It would have been mildly amusing, if infantile, if it was just said one time... but then he keeps reiterating it over and over for almost half a minute. Of course this is terrible, and that was the joke.

* Tropers/RA2: Mike Matei and a poorly-voiced foul-mouthed Inspector Gadget review Minecraft. It's like a really gruesome car accident that you can't stop looking at. The poop jokes (Minecraft = Minecrap) were stupid, but didn't phase me - Elmo in Grouchland confirmed that Mike's only talent is making kids' show characters spew profanity. But as someone who dabbles in 3D replicas myself, I was furious with his comments about a full-scale replica of the Enterprise made in Minecraft "It's just following a blueprint that someone else made, not real effort... seems more like Monkey See, Monkey do...I would guess that [the guy who made it] has quite possibly never had sex." Fuck you Mike, what have you contributed to the world? Oh yeah that's right, NOTHING that didn't involve suckling from James' teat. And don't give me "technically it was ''Gadget'' who said those things," because that would be like if Seth Macfarlane wasn't held accountable for the things Brian said. I loved the AVGN's work, but not enough to stay subscribed to him when that worthless talentless, tasteless, one-trick pond scum continues to put out videos in the Nerd's name.
** Tropers/{{Caiaphasthesympathist}}: The original description for said video mentioned that it was a "way to poke fun at Minecraft videos, which are plaguing YouTube". Without any explanation for why it was made beyond that, it becomes a painfully glaring case of ItsPopularNowItSucks with zero redeeming qualities.
