* Not a panning example, but one that ruffled feathers regardless -- he put ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' on his "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A5jElFq9Ao Top 5 Forgotten Cartoons]]" list, with the backlash being fueled by bafflement more than anything else. All three are some of the most well-regarded American cartoons to air during the 1990s, lasted for years on-air, and maintained strong fanbases in the decades after they ended. A lot of the comments on the video call him out for this, and the video was made even more HilariousInHindsight when [[WesternAnimation/Animaniacs2020 two out]] [[WesternAnimation/TinyToonsLooniversity of the three]] shows would get revivals and continuations announced within the following four years.

* Naturally, his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9NLefklYK8 two]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGlEBrIlubQ lists]] showing the cartoons that he hates but everyone else likes garnered a lot of flak, though in the first one's case it was mostly due to him making bad comparisons, coming off rather contradictory, and missing the point of certain aspects of each show, as another [=YouTube=] user who responded to it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZDuhLqtJuQ this video]] pointed out.
** As Strider himself points out in his commentary for the former video, the entry on that list that got the most flak was ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' at #1, which he personally loathes and doesn't understand its massive popularity. Most of the flak that Strider got for his thoughts on the show was that he criticized parts of it that were intentional such as the characters having squiggly moving outlines and not having real big characterizations since the show is just basically a slapstick driven comedy series with no real big story behind it. He also got backlash for his statement that every episode has the exact same plot with the Eds trying to get money for jawbreakers by scamming their neighbors, which is also the point since its the show's synopsis, and it also not being true that every episode is the same since plenty of episodes don't even feature the Eds coming up with scams and instead focus on everyday childhood problems.

He anticipates this reaction with every negative "Top X" video by saying "[[{{Catchphrase}} And if you like these [subjects], that's fine. It's just my silly personal opinion, and I'm glad you can get some enjoyment out of something that I cannot]].''

* He got flak from fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{TUGS}}'' for putting it in the #4 spot of his "Top 5 Worst British Cartoons" video, claiming it to be dull, ugly, and filled with bickering. As many fans of ''TUGS'' pointed out, the footage used in the video was only from the first three minutes of the first episode, giving the impression he barely watched the series before putting it on the list, and that the series had strong elements of stories, voice acting, music, and model sets, particularly in episodes like "Munitions" and "High Tide".
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' being in the #2 spot of his "Top 5 Worst French Cartoons" video did not go down well. Reasons include the fact that he ranked it worse than a cartoon that, in his words, "looks like it was slapped together in Microsoft Paint over the process of six minutes" and the fact he only included season 4 episodes in the video, implying that he didn't even watch any of the better received older episodes.

A lot of the comments on the video call him out for this.

* He got flak when he panned ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''. The main criticisms were that his complaints were all about how skinny the characters are and that he only seemed to be talking about season 5 onward, when the series was widely considered to have gone through significant SeasonalRot. Strider himself admitted in a comment that he should have gone into more detail.

* While putting ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAFairySecret'' on his "Worst Cartoons for Girls" list went without much fanfare, since the movie is generally seen as when the ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' movies [[SeasonalRot started to decline in quality]], him claiming that "everyone knows" how Barbie movies are of "abysmal quality" caused this reaction, since the films have a ''huge'' fanbase and most of the earlier movies are viewed as being surprisingly good for being made just to [[MerchandiseDriven sell toys]].
