[[folder: Games as a Service is Incompatible with Art]]
* Yahtzee offers both a funny and insightful response to Ubisoft's pledge to go "back to basics" with the upcoming ''Assassin's Creed Mirage'':
--> "Back to basics" does imply an appeal to nostalgia, in which case, I might point out to Ubisoft that you can only have nostalgia for something that's actually ''gone away'' for a while; tell that to fucking ''Star Wars'' one of these days. If you can't stop disgorging spinoffs for five seconds, people will never even get the chance to start pining for it again.

[[folder: I'm Here to De-Hype You on Silent Hill]]
* The intro:
--> I was doing my post-ZP stream of ''Scorn'' at the time of the ''Silent Hill'' announcement showcase, in which, amongst other things, the ''Silent Hill 2'' remake by Bloober Team was announced. And what an appropriate game to be streaming when I was hearing about that; there I was, in a hideous, nonsensical world where everything filled me with visceral disgust, and then I closed my browser and went back to playing ''Scorn.'' Ayyyyyyyy!
* After running down a few technical reasons why the ''Silent Hill 2'' remake is probably a bad idea, he comes to a big one:
--> Okay, fine - so far, these have been fairly flimsy reasons to dismiss the game, so how about this one? ''Fucking '''''Bloober Team''''' are making it!'' Just to repeat myself, did you play ''The Medium''? No one who ends their game with "cut to black, gunshot, credits" should be trusted to reboot anything beyond a Sinclair ZX81.
* Talking about the upcoming ''Silent Hill F'':
--> Oh, and ''Silent Hill ffffff'' looks to be set in Japan, despite ''Silent Hill'' always having been a town in America, so I don't even know why they're calling it "Silent Hill". Oh, wait, yes, I do - because more people will be likely to buy it, mystery solved.
* In reference to the merch that was part of the announcement showcase:
--> So there's new collectible figurines ('''fuck off'''). New skateboard art ('''fuck off''' slightly faster than before).
* The ending, in which he sounds genuinely angry:
--> My mistake; we're not here to express any restless creative passion, are we? We're here to make some ''dosh''! Fine! Move along, everyone; nothing to see here! Wake me up when you've announced the new range of Pyramid Head kitchenware!

* Yahtzee getting ''juuust'' a bit defensive about the implications of the term "Boomer Shooter."
--> Actually, can I just say, I kind of hate "boomer shooter" as a term, it meaning an old-style shooter; that is, shooters for old people, i.e., boomers. But these are the shooters I was playing when ''I'' was a teenager, and I'm not a fucking boomer. Boomers are people who were born in the baby boom after the Second World War, and proceeded to grow up and divert all the money to themselves. I was born in the 80s; I'm just as much a victim of the boomer economy as you young scrotes! Yes, I ''am'' being overly prickly about this!

[[folder: It's Time to Coin A New Term for Cinematic Linear Adventure Games]]
* It's here Yatzhee coins the term "Ghost Train Ride", because the linear adventure games he uses the term for can be divided into 1) the queue, 2) the thrill and 3) the "gift shop", where the player can be "let off the leash to run around sniffing a few butts".
* Shorthand he explains it as:
--> This is a conveyor belt of disconnected encounters that can be easily chopped up and swapped around because its only intention is to keep droning on ticking boxes and hitting targets until the algorithm says its gone on long enough and can now stop and let everyone off.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Are Games Actually Getting More Diverse?]]
* Referencing the diverse main cast of Call of Duty: Vanguard, he notes that it's good for everyone to feel represented and that there's "no race or gender barrier to a career as a gun-toting, insta-healing psychopath."
* Yatzhee finds himself at a loss for how to talk about how diversity in games is a good thing without bringing up real world history.
--> How to phrase all this without making people come and push dog shit through my letterbox?

* When mentioning the moment in Udertale where you can rent a room and play around in the bed, Yatzhee mentions that while he doesn't understand why anything about that scene happens, he's glad that it does. He goes on to note:
--> If it hadn't been a solo project, Creator/{{Toby Fox}} would've had to explain the reasoning behind it to another human being, and I doubt anything positive could've come of that. Although it might have caused it to swiftly become a solo project again.

[[folder: Bad Games Are Better Than Bland Games]]
* When talking about bad games, it's noted that "so bad it's good" is quite rare for video games, and more often than not a bad game can better be described as "car crash fascinating".

[[folder: Stop Bragging About Your Game's Length]]
* In talking about the ridiculous claim that Dying Light 2 (link to page) will over 500 hours of gameplay, it's theorized that someone needed a quote for the game to give to the public but caught someone else on the spot.
--> Instantly the scenario unfolded in my head: Johnny Development got cornered at the water cooler by Sally Marketing and pressed for some selling point to start driving those social metrics, and that was the only thing that sprang to mind. So Sally Marketing hurried off to start pushing it before her brain could kick in and start thinking about it.
* After spending a good portion of the video ripping on the marketing team of Dying Light 2, he ends the video by cheerfully asking if he can have a review code for the game now.

[[folder: What the Heck Happened to Mobile Gaming?]]
* When rattling off the seemingly endless list of color sort puzzle games available on mobile, Yatzhee's annoyance becomes increasingly clear through the tone of his voice.
* On the current state of mobile gaming:
--> When the platform is a tiny screen usually used one-handed while the user is only half paying attention to make sure they don't miss when their train passes through their station, you don't want immersion. You want mindless distraction. You want quick highs, not difficult challenges or emotional engagement. And that's precisely the demand that over the years mobile gaming had carefully refined itself to exploit. It's sad, but complaining about it is like complaining that people are still sniffing glue in a world where perfectly good heroin exists. Now if you'll excuse me, I want to leave before I start thinking about whether or not that analogy made sense.

[[folder: Elden Ring Lets Its Open World Speak for Itself]]
* Referring to the Shenmue series as "Shit Poo".
* The acknowledgement that Elden Ring allows and even encourages players to explore its open world...by sending them into an unwinnable fight if you decide to follow the game's single instance of direction given near the beginning.
--> If you go straight there you get flattened by a difficulty wall, which almost feels like the game saying "Psych! Do some exploring and find some upgrades first, twatface!"

[[folder: Horizon Forbidden West Exemplifies Bad Characterization]]
* Listing Aloy's character faults as "The Four Horsemen of Bad Characterization"
** On that same note, listing those "Four Horsemen" as Aloy being boring, poorly written, ill-fitting and a complete idiot.
* In talking about Aloy being ill-fitting, he focuses especially on how she reacts (or rather, ''does not'' react) to fighting giant robotic monstrosities, whereas an average person who went through such an ordeal would be "fizzing on an adrenaline high equivalent to three buckets of uncut coke."
--> We would be panting and sweating and hopping up and down going "Oh god oh god oh blimey oh god!"
* Aloy being a complete idiot is referenced by the fact that she knows she is the only one capable of saving the world due to her genetic code being the only thing that can open the "fun bunkers" throughout the game's world, but she still keeps risking her life unnecessarily, and that at some point, there should be a character who sits her down and explains things to her.
--> What the fuck are you doing?! Every time you go out the rest of us spend the whole time grinding our teeth to powder from the stress. Next time you find a fun bunker, wait outside and we'll go in and solve the ancient puzzles, ok? Right after we're finished nailing your feet to the floor.

* Saying that VideoGame/{{BioShock Infinite}} should have been called Culture Shock, and then referring to it as such instead of its proper title later in the video.

[[folder: Adventure Games Never Died, They Just Stopped Being Good]]
* Despite his distaste for the notion of crafting systems, Yahtzee still manages to stumble upon the practice completely unintentionally.
--> What if the obstacles in the way of your progress had numerical ratings... Then instead of finding the one specific tool to open it every inventory item also has a numerical rating, so anything with the right point values would do, or combine the values of several commonly found items to achieve the same result. And then I realised, oh fuck, I’ve invented a crafting system from first principles.

[[folder: Why I Like Persona in Spite of it Being A JRPG]]
* "Alright then, by process of elimination if it's not the story or the JRPG dungeon crawling, it must be the other half of the gameplay of Persona games - the whole Life Simulator aspect. Where you wander around a contemporary Japanese city, randomly doing shifts via various jobs and building up your relationship level with all your friends. Hmm, I suppose you could be ri-no! No no no, it can't be that, because even the prospect of playing a game consisting of only that is making my boredom gland twitch."
* "That's all very well Yatzhee, but when are you gonna tell us your favorite Persona waifu? Oh for fuck's sake! See this sort of shit is a debasement of cultural discourse. Here I am trying to be academic about this, trying to pull a game's threads apart to get to the bottom of its appeal on a thematic and conceptual level, but all anyone wants to talk about is which character we think our character would most like to snog! ...[[NotSoAboveItAll It's Chie!]]"

* "[The announcement of a new Silent Hill game] feels like Konami stuck a broom handle up my dead dad's ass and said 'Look, if we work the jaw with a piece of string it's like he's alive again!', and all the hype outlets going 'Ooh, this could be interesting!' make me feel like I'm on crazy pills for saying 'Put my dad down, you fucking monsters!'"
* "Oh, god they're gonna make Silent Hill Survive aren't they? "Quickly, craft Rusty Metal Shard and Health Drink together to make a new equippable patch for your army jacket that gives you +2.6% defense against being confronted by the guilt for your past sins!" ...That was a joke, Konami, stop taking notes."

* From [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/8910-Extra-Punctuation-New-Team-Fortress-2-Classes this]] ''Extra Punctuation'': "''VideoGame/{{Brink}}'', besides being what a racist caricature of an Oriental person [[JapaneseRanguage would say]] is their favourite ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E10Blink episode]], is also a disappointing game."
* "I can't speak for everyone, at least not until ''the device'' is completed, but..."
* The implications of ''Mortal Kombat Vs Literature/MrMen''.
* From "Why No Couples In Games":
-->"Vamp in ''Metal Gear Solid 2'' was implied to be banging Fortune, but only because Vamp was implied to be banging absolutely fucking everyone, including you as you read this. Try to hold still."
* The conclusion to thinking about why ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing: New Leaf'' appeals to players:
--> So, from a design perspective, these are the important lessons to take from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', besides of course "Don't play this fucking game, I'm serious, get away before it [[JustOneMoreLevel gets a hold on you]], RUN MAN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE"
* Yahtzee's history with adventure games:
--> As anyone who views my Wikipedia page will know, adventure games and I have a history. I was practically [[RaisedByWolves raised by them]], like {{Franchise/Tarzan}} by the apes, and was only brought to civilization in my late teens to be taught how to stop [[KleptomaniacHero stealing random useless objects]] and communicating only with the phrase [[InformingTheFourthWall "That doesn't work."]]
! Other
* First off, the community agrees that practically any ZP video can be made even funnier by muting the sound. Without Yahtzee's admittedly-hilarious commentary to split your attention, the sheer [[RapidFireComedy non-stop high-speed randomness]] of his cavalcade of {{Visual Pun}}s and [[SurrealHumor bizarre imagery]] is thrown into sharper relief as you watch the deluge of nonsensical characters and actions and try to work out what the buggering hell he's going on about, like an insane game of charades.
* The episode descriptions can be this at times.
--> "This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee compares Sim City to Nazi Germany."
* Arguably, Yahtzee's at his best when he can come up with a hypothetical scenario that [[LiteralMetaphor literalizes a sarcastic remark]], as in the above "My right hand on a Sunday night" and "last male panda."
--> "As the disbelieving friend said to the inventor of the feces-powered helicopter, "THIS SHIT WON'T FLY!". \\
\\
"As the operator of a coin-operated artillery cannon might sarcastically yell to a retreating army, you should never be afraid of change."
** ''VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon''[='=]s aesthetic: "The vibrant neon colours on a dark background are kind of like undergoing reconstructive dentistry, in that it can make things hard to make out (slightly tortured simile)."
* From an advert for the ''Literature/{{Mogworld}}'' audiobooks: "Now you can listen to me talk for thirteen hours without the expense of getting me coked up!"
* [[http://youtu.be/O75AJIryF4c The advert for the]] ''Literature/{{Jam}}'' audiobooks, originally used in the [=CoD: Ghosts=] review.
* Yahtzee's contribution to Escapist's campaign to get the site a Webby in 2014:
-->I think you know what you have to do now: [[BreathlessNonSequitur annex the Sudetenland.]] Oh, sorry, [[ThatCameOutWrong I got that wrong.]] I meant: Vote for us! '''Then''' [[ByNoIMeanYes annex the Sudetenland]]!
* If you lower the speed, it makes Yahtzee sound drunk.
* His end-of-video plug for his 2017 book:
-->My new book, Literature/WillSaveTheGalaxyForFood, is out now! It's a sci-fi comedy with all the usual sci-fi comedy themes: redundancy, hopelessness, and existential dread. Available in e-book, paperback, and audiobook from all good retailers and some dodgy ones.
* The tradition of funny book-plugging continues in early 2018:
-->My latest book, ''Differently Morphous'', is out now on audible.com as an Audible Original, meaning audiobook first with print version further down the line, so get those ears unstuffed. It's a contemporary paranormal fantasy about the difficulties of adapting to modern life when you're [[EldritchAbomination a formless Lovecraftian horror]] from beyond the veil of time and space.
-->''(In the ''Mortal Kombat 11'' review)''
-->My fourth novel, ''Differently Morphous'', is finally available in print and e-book editions! Check in with your local bookseller! They'll probably appreciate it; they tend to be lonely people.
* Jack Packard [[https://youtu.be/x20ep55plGU ignoring]] the text descriptions of Croshaw's game ''The Cleaner'' during a LetsPlay, and getting tired of text descriptions, mocking that Yahtzee might be a clever writer, but he will willfully ignore the text.
* Yahtzee and Jack [[https://youtu.be/837MzCtMXNY debating]] which was better: ''VideoGame/DOOM2016'' or ''VideoGame/DOOMEternal''. The best part is the Yahtzee-ization of Jack Packard as one of his characters.
-->'''Yahtzee:''' ''(opening argument)'' Well, ''DOOM 2016'' is better than ''DOOM Eternal''. ''({{beat}})'' Thanks for coming, your turn.
* Yahtzee and Jack's [[https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/is-mario-a-better-character-than-sonic-slightly-civil-war/ Mario/Sonic]] debate leads to them uncontrollably giggling at the end. Considering what TheStoic Yahtzee is, it's quite the accomplishment.
-->'''Yahtzee:''' Mario, as a character, is beloved by all, not just by weirdos.\\
''(Jack giggles)''\\
'''Yahtzee:''' And Sonic has a very grim history of being beloved by all the weirdos of the internet. I don't know if you ever Googled your name plus "the Hedgehog"...[[note]]Of course, he means "Jack"[[/note]]\\
''(Yahtzee's avatar [[BrainBleach pours bleach in his eyes]])''\\
'''Jack:''' I absolutely refuse to do that!
* It's here Yatzhee coins the term "Ghost Train Ride", because the linear adventure games he uses the term for can be divided into 1) the queue, 2) the thrill and 3) the "gift shop", where the player can be "let off the leash to run around sniffing a few butts".
* Shorthand he explains it as:
--> This is a conveyor belt of disconnected encounters that can be easily chopped up and swapped around because its only intention is to keep droning on ticking boxes and hitting targets until the algorithm says its gone on long enough and can now stop and let everyone off.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Are Games Actually Getting More Diverse?]]
* Referencing the diverse main cast of Call of Duty: Vanguard, he notes that it's good for everyone to feel represented and that there's "no race or gender barrier to a career as a gun-toting, insta-healing psychopath."
* Yatzhee finds himself at a loss for how to talk about how diversity in games is a good thing without bringing up real world history.
--> How to phrase all this without making people come and push dog shit through my letterbox?
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Dark Souls is The Ultimate Game of All Time?]]
* The "Most Anticipated Game" award is described as "Who's overfunded marketing department most deserves a broken bottle in the face?"
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Why I Never Did A Zero Punctuation on Undertale]]
* When mentioning the moment in Udertale where you can rent a room and play around in the bed, Yatzhee mentions that while he doesn't understand why anything about that scene happens, he's glad that it does. He goes on to note:
--> If it hadn't been a solo project, Creator/{{Toby Fox}} would've had to explain the reasoning behind it to another human being, and I doubt anything positive could've come of that. Although it might have caused it to swiftly become a solo project again.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Bad Games Are Better Than Bland Games]]
* When talking about bad games, it's noted that "so bad it's good" is quite rare for video games, and more often than not a bad game can better be described as "car crash fascinating".
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Stop Bragging About Your Game's Length]]
* In talking about the ridiculous claim that Dying Light 2 (link to page) will over 500 hours of gameplay, it's theorized that someone needed a quote for the game to give to the public but caught someone else on the spot.
--> Instantly the scenario unfolded in my head: Johnny Development got cornered at the water cooler by Sally Marketing and pressed for some selling point to start driving those social metrics, and that was the only thing that sprang to mind. So Sally Marketing hurried off to start pushing it before her brain could kick in and start thinking about it.
* After spending a good portion of the video ripping on the marketing team of Dying Light 2, he ends the video by cheerfully asking if he can have a review code for the game now.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: What the Heck Happened to Mobile Gaming?]]
* When rattling off the seemingly endless list of color sort puzzle games available on mobile, Yatzhee's annoyance becomes increasingly clear through the tone of his voice.
* On the current state of mobile gaming:
--> When the platform is a tiny screen usually used one-handed while the user is only half paying attention to make sure they don't miss when their train passes through their station, you don't want immersion. You want mindless distraction. You want quick highs, not difficult challenges or emotional engagement. And that's precisely the demand that over the years mobile gaming had carefully refined itself to exploit. It's sad, but complaining about it is like complaining that people are still sniffing glue in a world where perfectly good heroin exists. Now if you'll excuse me, I want to leave before I start thinking about whether or not that analogy made sense.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: What If I Don't Want to Be an Authoritarian or a Hippy?]]
* Describing the conflict in many open world choice based games as "fascists vs nutters".
* "One side is authoritarian and rules with an iron fist but keep things neat and orderly, while the other side is libertarian and permits personal freedom but is also chaotic and less efficient [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and doesn't hang the dish towels properly when they're finished washing up.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Elden Ring Lets Its Open World Speak for Itself]]
* Referring to the Shenmue series as "Shit Poo".
* The acknowledgement that Elden Ring allows and even encourages players to explore its open world...by sending them into an unwinnable fight if you decide to follow the game's single instance of direction given near the beginning.
--> If you go straight there you get flattened by a difficulty wall, which almost feels like the game saying "Psych! Do some exploring and find some upgrades first, twatface!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Horizon Forbidden West Exemplifies Bad Characterization]]
* Listing Aloy's character faults as "The Four Horsemen of Bad Characterization"
** On that same note, listing those "Four Horsemen" as Aloy being boring, poorly written, ill-fitting and a complete idiot.
* In talking about Aloy being ill-fitting, he focuses especially on how she reacts (or rather, ''does not'' react) to fighting giant robotic monstrosities, whereas an average person who went through such an ordeal would be "fizzing on an adrenaline high equivalent to three buckets of uncut coke."
--> We would be panting and sweating and hopping up and down going "Oh god oh god oh blimey oh god!"
* Aloy being a complete idiot is referenced by the fact that she knows she is the only one capable of saving the world due to her genetic code being the only thing that can open the "fun bunkers" throughout the game's world, but she still keeps risking her life unnecessarily, and that at some point, there should be a character who sits her down and explains things to her.
--> What the fuck are you doing?! Every time you go out the rest of us spend the whole time grinding our teeth to powder from the stress. Next time you find a fun bunker, wait outside and we'll go in and solve the ancient puzzles, ok? Right after we're finished nailing your feet to the floor.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Why Was Prey (2017) So Forgettable?]]
* Saying that VideoGame/{{BioShock Infinite}} should have been called Culture Shock, and then referring to it as such instead of its proper title later in the video.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Adventure Games Never Died, They Just Stopped Being Good]]
* Despite his distaste for the notion of crafting systems, Yahtzee still manages to stumble upon the practice completely unintentionally.
--> What if the obstacles in the way of your progress had numerical ratings... Then instead of finding the one specific tool to open it every inventory item also has a numerical rating, so anything with the right point values would do, or combine the values of several commonly found items to achieve the same result. And then I realised, oh fuck, I’ve invented a crafting system from first principles.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Forget Linear Stories, Give Me More Immersion Storytelling]]
* (When describing his disdain for playing fighting games) "If I wanted to learn how to crack off complex button combinations with two frames worth of reaction time, I'd eat three pot brownies and try to play Guitar Hero."
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Why I Like Persona in Spite of it Being A JRPG]]
* "Alright then, by process of elimination if it's not the story or the JRPG dungeon crawling, it must be the other half of the gameplay of Persona games - the whole Life Simulator aspect. Where you wander around a contemporary Japanese city, randomly doing shifts via various jobs and building up your relationship level with all your friends. Hmm, I suppose you could be ri-no! No no no, it can't be that, because even the prospect of playing a game consisting of only that is making my boredom gland twitch."
* "That's all very well Yatzhee, but when are you gonna tell us your favorite Persona waifu? Oh for fuck's sake! See this sort of shit is a debasement of cultural discourse. Here I am trying to be academic about this, trying to pull a game's threads apart to get to the bottom of its appeal on a thematic and conceptual level, but all anyone wants to talk about is which character we think our character would most like to snog! ...[[NotSoAboveItAll It's Chie!]]"
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Maybe Silent Hill Should Just Stay Dead]]
* "[The announcement of a new Silent Hill game] feels like Konami stuck a broom handle up my dead dad's ass and said 'Look, if we work the jaw with a piece of string it's like he's alive again!', and all the hype outlets going 'Ooh, this could be interesting!' make me feel like I'm on crazy pills for saying 'Put my dad down, you fucking monsters!'"
* "Oh, god they're gonna make Silent Hill Survive aren't they? "Quickly, craft Rusty Metal Shard and Health Drink together to make a new equippable patch for your army jacket that gives you +2.6% defense against being confronted by the guilt for your past sins!" ...That was a joke, Konami, stop taking notes."

[[folder:Judging By The Cover]]
* His ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' [[https://youtu.be/NxA-WMfgcTo cover]] review focuses on how everyone in the Japanese ''Rock Man'' cover and European cover are obsessed with Mega Man's ass and fisting it. When showing the [[https://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/megamanbox.jpg?strip=all infamous US cover]], Yahtzee remains silent for a few seconds before brightly exclaiming, "LOOKS FINE TO ME!"[[note]]Perhaps because there's no fisting involved.[[/note]]
* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/judging-by-the-cover/57432-Hitman-Agent-47-Poster-Review Hitman Agent 47's poster has multiple cases of rather hilariously blatant copy-pasting.]] Yahtzee even has a tune he hums when he's preparing the comparison. "Blimey. You see it everywhere once you start looking for it, don't ya? Not unlike racism."
** In the same video he points out that some of the soldiers are up to odd things, such as a guy aiming at the ground, another guy crouched on top of a van for seemingly no reason, and one soldier who forgot to bring a gun and is trying to hide it by just miming.
* His take on Charles Le Brun's ''Adoration of the Shepherds''. Particularly his reading the look on Mary's face as a sarcastic eye-roll.
-->"Oh no, the stable's on fire. Whatever will we do?"
-->"Oh no, [[ItMakesSenseInContext a cow's come to eat the Baby Jesus]]. Because that's ''totally'' what herbivores do."
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkn5hgjhyeo Judging The Beatles White Album]]'' has to be seen [[SanitySlippage to be believed]].
-->[[spoiler:'''THEY KNOW''']]
* [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith "Party on, you gormless cunt."]]
* Yahtzee tries to do a side-by-side comparison for the European, American and Japanese cover of [[{{VideoGame/SilentHill1}} Silent Hill]]. After being sorely disappointed by the blurbs on the back covers of the western versions due to their incoherence, he moves onto the Japanese version, hoping for the better:
-->'''Yahtzee:''' Oh well, let's see if the Japanese can improve on their thus far dismal showing.\\
[[spoiler: ''(cut to the Japanese back-cover, [[CaptainObviousReveal which is written entirely in Japanese]])'']]\\
'''Yahtzee:''''' ({{Beat}})'' Nice drop shadow! ''([[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hastily ends the video]])''
* Yahtzee's utter disdain towards the title of ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'' which he sees as pretentious.
-->Isn't it ''cute'' when films with the cultural value of a UsefulNotes/McDonalds drive-in menu start using the language of books? "The Final Chapter", like this series is being chronicled in some leather-bound tome by a noted scholar, when there is only one book one can associate with the ''Resident Evil'' series, and that is "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Appealing to One, Very Specific Demographic".
* He gives voices to the horses on the cover of ''VideoGame/DefenderOfTheCrown'', to match their facial expressions.
-->'''White Horse:''' ''(surprised)'' Oh, Harold, why are you wearing that tinfoil hat?
-->'''Brown Horse:''' ''(bug-eyed)'' GAHHH, WESTERN DEMOCRACY IS A SHAM!! OPEN YOUR EYES, PEOPLE!!
* Yahtzee's [[CelebrityResemblance interpretations]] of [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0TRPtEN0b7g/maxresdefault.jpg the cast on the backside cover of]] ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' from left to right are as follows: Music/DavidBowie, Creator/GraceJones, Creator/JoePesci, [[AgeLift young David Bowie]], Creator/RichardOBrien, Creator/DanielRadcliffe, ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, [[OddNameOut a man with a]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint giant novelty "L" lodged in his head]], Creator/EmilioEstevez, [[Characters/StarWarsEmperorPalpatine Emperor Palpatine]], [[RuleOfThree girl]] [[GenderFlip David]] [[Rule63 Bowie]], [[RaceLift black]] Film/MaryPoppins, and Creator/BrianBlessed (which yes, he does emphasize).
* Yahtzee's description of C3-P0 and R2-D2 on the poster of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' as "robot optimistically modeled on an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward and robot somewhat more realistically modeled on a ''butt plug'' with which to ''fuck'' oneself." He then is aghast Phasma is wearing a cape. "Fuck, did you get turned down from the Music/DaftPunk-themed wrestling league?"
** He then sneers that despite all the money thrown at ''The Force Awakens'', they were still so cheap they ''cut-and-paste'' the Stormtroopers, proving it with his own cut-and-paste.
* In his judgement of the first promo photo for the ''Suicide Squad'' movie, he describes Harley Quinn's new appearance as "Rocky-Horror-On-Ice-Castmember-Tripped-And-Fell-In-Some-Daddy-Issues."
