** The video ends with [[RememberTheNewGuy "long-running character Hat Dan"]] suddenly appearing ([[StylisticSuck deliberately poorly composited on a green screen]]), leading to a parody of the ending of the Nostalgia Critic's Wall review, followed by Dan and Hat Dan spending the final 40 seconds of the video's runtime firing off finger guns.

* In ''What Is Vsauce'', Dan keeps mimicking Michael Stevens' maneurism, in particular his delivery and habit of popping on screen from odd angles. At the start of the video he also notes the two shares a resemblance (Being balding white men with beards and glasses). Cue this comment:
-->''"I stand behind the glass. In front of me is a line of famous YouTubers. Each is balder than the last. They all have beards. They all wear glasses. The detective hands me a Kleenex and asks "Alright doll, which one is Vsauce?" I cry into the tissue. I cannot tell. They all look the same."''

Yet he used (incredibly bad) green screen anyway.[[/note]]

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0UgPfKnUBo his review of]] ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'', Dan decides to give it [[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics an "objective" numerical rating out of 100]] based on laughs, adventure, feels, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and Haunter]] (each rated out of 5, respectively weighted by x0.6, x0.6, x0.8, and '''x18''' multipliers). While he gives the first three pretty solid individual ratings and concludes that the film is overall very enjoyable, [[SeriousBusiness Haunter's absence from the film]] [[InsaneTrollLogic causes Dan to consider it mathematically one of the worst he's ever talked about]].

** "The World Gold Council... whoever they are. I'm assuming they were the villains from WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanet."

** During the segment on Colonialism, discussing the history of Gold Mining and Apartheid in South Africa, Dan notes that the documentary being made ''by gold mining companies'' sort of blunts their exploration of the topic.
--->'''Idris Elba:''' There's no hiding from the fact—
--->'''Dan:''' No hiding, yeah.
--->'''Idris Elba:''' —that gold mining played a major part—
--->'''Dan:''' Uh-huh.
--->'''Idris Elba:''' —in shaping South African society during the Apartheid years.
--->'''Dan:''' ''Yeah?!''
--->'''Idris Elba:''' But with gold—
--->[Giant "BUT..." appears on screen with airhorns blaring and smaller "BUT..."s raining down, Dan leans back, arms outstretched victoriously]
*** Dan then notes the documentary ends up giving the credit for ending Apartheid not to labor movements, but to gold itself.
---->"An inert mineral is stealing the valor of labor movements. It's really weird."

* "About That Idris Elba Gold Documentary''

--->'''Dan 1, at his desk, as if he was on the documentary''': "These guys have cracked the toxic pit problem!
--->'''Dan 2, laying on his couch, with Amy walking on the back of the couch, acting like a viewer of the documentary''': "Wait, what toxic pit problem?"
*** The later line is replayed later to emphasize how the documentary constantly stops itself from being interesting because doing so might raise questions in the audience the World Gold Council doesn't want them to have.
** Earlier in the same segment, while explaining the aforementioned toxic pit problem, Dan uses a montage of videos of Creator/TomScott visiting various such sites. Later explaining that the problem is widespread and that "there are thousands of pit lakes out each with their own risk factors. Believe it or not, Tom Scott hasn't even visited half of them!" Tom Scott is given a special thanks in the credit.
** As the documentary reaches its end, Idris Elba closes by saying their exploration of gold had "ups and downs" despite the documentary skirting around any touchy or political or controversial issue about gold mining. Dan sits up.

--->'''Dan:''' ''(Increasingly Giddy)'' Yeah...

--->''(Dan leaning back on his chair, arms outstretched victoriously, Airhorns playing, giant "BUT..." flashing on the screen with smaller "But..." raining around him as the screen flashes in color)''
*** Dan then notes the documentary ends up giving the credit for ending Apartheid not to labor movements but to Gold.

** Dan discusses how the part of the video covering Reefton Mine, and how the documentary skips over the astounding advances done to restore the site after the mine was closed, something the industry you might think would want to brag about. But as Dan explains, to explain why this site is a breakthrough and achievement would require also mentioning how the site is an outlier, and that usually closed open pit mines become giant lakes of ultra toxic water.
