** During Dream's 21st birthday on August 12, 2021, the channel released four rips with Dream as the joke. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7zV3xCF5vw Main Theme (US Mix) - Five Nights at Freddy's 2]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_StZYEqw6sY Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day: Rock Band]] being particularly scathing ones, both featuring "Mask" and its Sus remix of course. The former references an infamous tweet Dream made in response to the backlash from "Mask" during one of the song's bridges, while the latter has the video poke fun at Dream's speedrun cheating scandal by Googling Minecraft hacked clients during the song's instrumental.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwIzXfxxNVA&t=9s Road to Cerulean City: Leaving Mt. Moon (OST Version) - Pokémon Red & Blue]]" has a reverb effect over the entire song that becomes progressively more overbearing as the rip goes on, a poke at the [[DigitalDestruction reverb added to the Super Music Collection version of the soundtrack]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ab_uwX_YcE Trailer Theme - Sonic Mania]] which is simply audio of the song of [[Creator/TimAndEric Tim and Eric's]] Totino Boy video as a dig to the stream's Totino's product placement. It was also posted three times in reference to the ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' trailer being played thrice during the event.
** After VideoGame/SonicMania was released in 2017, due to said product placement, nearly ''every'' rip from Sonic Mania from this point on contained the Totino's song in some way.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaVqka8Hgcg Title Screen - Sonic Adventure 3]] is simply loud static, referencing the audio troubles the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' [[FanConvention San Diego Comic-Con]] 2016 stream had. This was followed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8vvnKUHDto Special Announcement Theme - Sonic 25th Anniversary Party]] which is a buzzing noise over audio from said stream. In addition, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ab_uwX_YcE Trailer Theme - Sonic Mania]] which is a remix including audio from a Totino's commerical as a dig to the stream's Totino's product placement, was posted three times in reference to the ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' trailer being played thrice during the event.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7C3RZNEV1k Tabloid Jargon - Press Garden Zone Act 1 - Sonic Mania Plus]]" takes potshots at ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' streamer LetsPlay/{{Dream}} and his speedrun cheating scandal, cementing the point home with adding WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd's "That's right, we're gonna cheat!" line from his ''Ghostbusters (NES)'' review followed by defensive voice clips from Dream referencing his poorly-thought stance regarding the scandal.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eAm7XADWAQ "Pokémon League (Beta Mix)"]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' is a stab at the last episode of the [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon anime]]'s Kalos League story arc, [[spoiler:which resulted in Ash's [[StatusQuoIsGod (inevitable)]] loss]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMBgBINwFdg Chemical Plant Zone - LEGO Dimensions]] is a cover of the ''royalty-free'' song "Spazzmatica Polka" (specifically the version used in ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMOV''), poking fun at Creator/WarnerBros composing [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong off-key soundalikes]] of Genesis-era ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' songs in ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'' partially to avoid paying ''royalties'' to musician Masato Nakamura, who composed and owns the rights to the soundtracks for [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 the first two]] [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Sonic games]].[[note]]Another reason for the soundalike music, which has nothing to do with royalties, is that ''LEGO Dimensions'' employs ''Sonic'' levels from the second half of the ''Sonic 3'' portion of ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' whose songs are, long short story, entangled in a veritable [[ScrewedByTheLawyers legal screwjob]] with the Music/MichaelJackson estate, preventing ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' from being re-released in any form other than direct emulation of an unmodified ROM (which may be why it was excluded from the Sega Genesis Mini). However, the music of the ''Sonic & Knuckles'' portion of ''Sonic 3 & Knuckles'' is legally clear (refer to ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' rearranging Sky Sanctuary and Mushroom Hill, for example), but that, too, its substituted with off-key soundalikes in ''LEGO Dimensions'' purely for the sake of consistency with what music hasn't been legally cleared by WB.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx570QGxiSY FREEDOM DiVE↓ - Muse Dash]] is the ubiquitous RhythmGame song of the same name as advertised, but with part of the lyrics for "Kino ni Kanaderu Ashita no Uta" by the idol group [=YURiMental=] mashed up with it. The fact that the two songs mesh together so well isn't a coincidence - the rip is a jab at the latter song being such a SuspiciouslySimilarSong of the former (despite being marketed as a "homage") that Xi had to intervene.

* AprilFoolsDay 2021 features a mini-narrative revolving around [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] becoming RetGone, with the day's rips consisting of Mario games with the title and thumbnail [[{{Unperson}} adjusted accordingly]]. This is a jab at Nintendo's decision to pull the ''Super Mario 3D All-Stars'' CompilationRerelease from stores on the same day.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsTGa5vsZSs Reveal Trailer]] for ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsIIII'' might as well be called: "The [=SiIvaGunner=] creative team reads [=YouTube=] comments bickering about the '4' in the title while we play unfitting music".

* Several golf and Vinesauce's Joel related rips were uploaded on June 19, 2020, the release date of ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII'', as a jab on [[spoiler:Abby beating Joel to death with a golf club.]]

* [[https://youtu.be/gqA7sKp5ohU The overworld theme from]] ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' is actually the file select music for ''[[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1 New Super Mario Bros.]]''... with the game logo of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'' being shown, and the playlist link in the description leading to the playlist for ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', making fun of [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros the subseries]]' [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks constant stagnation]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJggiY9hAI Emote: Beep Beep - Fortnite]] starts off with car honks playing the Flintstones theme while canned laughter and popular ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' streamer Ninja's mocking laugh from his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpMpZqfA9EU infamous outburst against a player in an H1Z1 session]], before playing unedited audio of a different session (this time in ''Fortnite'') where Ninja reports a player for stream-sniping just because they emoted after killing him, serving as an obvious jab to both moments.

** Related to the above video, [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=3v2pKKena6I Reveal Trailer Theme - Overwatch 2]] starts off with clips from the advertised trailer interweaved with several clips of ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh''[[note]]Who, in China, has been banned for memes comparing him with Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping[[/note]]. Then, after a brief clip of the familiar ''Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby'', it becomes a StylisticSuck version of Chinese "propaganda" interweaved with an edited version of "[[VideoGame/SonicForces Fist Bump]]".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4yxxi4O2rk Pull Up A Chair - Hearthstone]] features the usual, cheerfully quiet tune... while violent audio directly lifted from footage of the Hong Kong protests happens right outside the building, as an obvious send-up to Creator/ActivisionBlizzard's PR ''disaster'' revolving around their disqualification of a pro-HK tournament winner, as well as firing of both commenters interviewing him to avoid pissing off the Chinese government, which has been seen by many, many people as picking money over morals.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SjUi7UY3fg Game Over - Sonic the Hedgehog]] is a ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Sonic 1]]''-style remix of Music/{{Coolio}}'s "Gangsta's Paradise," the music used in the poorly-received trailer for the ''Film/{{Sonic the Hedgehog|2019}}'' movie released the same day.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_VmELhFDtw Opening Theme- Bethesda E3 Press Conference 2019]] is a StylisticSuck version of Little Lies, likely as a reference to adding a battle royale mode to ''VideoGame/Fallout76'' and the showing of mobile games at their E3 stage.
