History Tearjerker / JoshScorcher

* Generally, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsm7DNd3mAI LaserActive Meltdown]] is a compilation of SugarWiki/FunnyMoments. But on realizing just how high the price tag was, for even ''playing games'' at that, Josh went on to regret and apologize for making fun of UsefulNotes/Playstation3's initial price tag of $599. It might have sucked at that time, but compared to just how ludicruous [=LaserActive=]'s was (even for its time and when converted to current day currency strength), it could have been ''much worse'', stating that in perspective, the Playstation 3 generation was actually quite lucky, they never really know what they have until they saw what other people didn't have, and that initial price tag of $599 and then at most $60 per game was so much better than [=LaserActive=]'s around $3000 ''just to play a game where you could play the same game cheaper by buying the consoles separately.'' Accompanying his speech in the video was a montage of the [=PS3=] price reveal with sad funeral music put in.

-->''Gosh'' dang it''! I just want to play ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' again without any guilt! Can't I just enjoy a freaking video game anymore without all these baggage attached to it!? The price-gouging, the hamfisted politics both in and out of games, design flaws, making the game unplayable! I JUST WANT TO PLAY A FREAKING GOOD VIDEO GAME! I just... I just...!''\\

(starts [[CryLaughing laughing himself to crying]] and breaking into the next verse of the song which contains the sad situation the video game industry, in and out, are experiencing)

-->''God dang it! I just want to play ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' again without any guilt! Can't I just enjoy a freaking video game anymore without all these baggage attached to it!? The price-gouging, the hamfisted politics both in and out of games, design flaws, making the game unplayable! I JUST WANT TO PLAY A FREAKING GOOD VIDEO GAME! I just... I just...!''\\

* At the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhkHF3PmTgc the 2021 Fails video]], which was naturally topped by the Blizzard controversy, but for once, Josh has been including some fails done by the fandom, especially the activism journalists... Josh just simply breaks down that all he wanted is just to play the games he likes instead of being dragged around with all those bad company actions, or activists portraying him as bad for liking games that they don't like. There's a MoodWhiplash that he continues with the awesomely hilarious music score from this, but at that time he broke down, it's a very very relatable reaction and shows that it's not just companies that can do bad things and harm the industry: The fandom and news media can as well.

* While many of his and Aramau's reactions to "Parental Glideance" are sweet, the reason they ended up reviewing it, her absolutely ''terrible'' relationship with her parents, is incredibly sad. She references being TheUnfavorite of her siblings and being so damaged that her mother ''has'' to preface any and all conversations with her with "you're not in trouble" or Aramau will panic about having done something wrong, something that has caused her to have big issues with self-blame in every aspect of her life. Aramau outright ''can't'' relate to Dash in this episode because she would have given anything to have parents like Bow and Windy.

* During their review of ''A Royal Problem'' where Celestia goes into the Dream World and is surrounded by the dream bubbles of various characters Nicky V and Firebrand both comment on the Dream Bubbles.

-->'''Sweetie Bloom:''' What reality?
-->'''Firebrand:''' [[WeAllDieSomeday We're all going to die]]. Every day we desensitize ourselves with our YouTube, anime, video games, books, all to do our best not to think about the ultimate truth that everyone spends their entire lives trying to ignore. The fact that everyone is suffering and everyone is going to die. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do. You and I have a 100% mortality rate. And war, it makes death happen much earlier than we want which is why we hate it so much. It makes the reality of our limited lives become harder to ignore. No one wants to think about those things, everyone's natural instinct when confronted with danger or suffering is to run away. However, those who join the military, they have to run towards chaos and evil. They have to reject the illusion of safety and put themselves in danger to maintain our wistful fantasies of peace. They are required to embrace these worries and fears so you don't have to. They are forced to leave their families and travel to hostile lands thousands of miles away and fight the worst of humanity just so you can pretend you're safe. That's the reason people in the military get so stressed and depressed, because they have to confront reality on a daily basis. That's why they deserve our respect.

-->'''Thespio''': ...huh. I guess that ship sunk rather quickly.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcGcKh7hQWI Response to]] Creator/LilyPeet. Hearing how their friendship fell apart, and how Lily had been bullying Josh for the past few months, is just heartwrenching. Special mention goes to when Josh talks about how he misses his friendship with Lily, with audible sadness in his voice as though he's trying not to cry. Yet Lily ''still'' justifies her actions, and even called Josh's video an attack on her, despite the accounts of proof Josh provided in his response video and apparently ''continues'' to throw obvious malicious {{Take That}}s at Josh.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcGcKh7hQWI The video]] summarizing the drama between him and Creator/LilyPeet is very hard to watch, even for those there for the [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Reason You Suck" Speeches]] towards Lily. But what deserves a special mention is that one group on Josh's side is [[ImageBoard 8chan]]. Of all people, the group Google doesn't even list for being radical extremists including being an asylum of refuge for pro-Gamergaters, [[EveryoneHasStandards thought that Lily was a verbally abusive bully and were legitimately concerned for Josh]].
