History Trivia / BrainScratchCommentaries

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** Although it in itself WAS a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}... Johnny states in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' that HAL is making the 4th installment of the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series when in fact Namco Bandai are making it.
** Ryan is the one that most often makes factual mistakes about the topic at hand, such as repeatedly stating Pokemon Gold and Silver came out in 2001, when it was actually 2000, and saying Captain Planet isn't in ''Creator/CartoonNetwork: [[VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion Punch Time Explosion]]'', when he is actually the last character you unlock. He also said that Mega Man 9 and 10 were for the Virtual Console, when they were actually for UsefulNotes/WiiWare. This one could be written off as a slip of the tongue. The team also seemed all convinced that the period between The First Movie and Gold and Silver was extremely brief, when in reality it was almost a full year after the movie came out that the games hit America.
** Every. Damn. Time. Fritz was on screen during the ''Frankenstein'' commentary, the team repeatedly called him Igor, even when his real name is said in the movie.
** The crew show shades of this during the various Star Wars commentaries, particular in the crew's commentary of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. For example, on multiple occasions, Ryan and Johnny say that Master Sifo-Dyas is an alter-ego of Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus. [[spoiler: Sifo-Dyas was actually a friend of Dooku's and was murdered before the events of the film]]. Otherwise, apart from the occasional mistake, it should be noted the guys are extremely knowledgeable about Star Wars.
** Minor example given it's a much newer entry, but in discussing ''Film/TheLastJedi'', they refer to Praetorian Guards as "The Knights of Ren," with the former being Snoke's guard meant to look like the Emperor's, while the latter are a group of presumably Dark Side users who have not yet appeared.
** In the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' commentary, Ryan says that the Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios would be closing and Disney planned to "put in something else." While this was the case, the Tower of Terror that closed was actually at Disney's California Adventure, where instead of it being replaced, was rethemed into ''Ride/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyMissionBreakout''.
** During an early part of the commentary of ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'', Ryan mistakenly claimed it took place before the ''Future'' games, but it very clearly takes place after them. The comments pointed this out, and Lewis mentioned it in part 10 to correct this mistake.

* CreatorsApathy: The group admitted to only doing ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'' because they did 1 and would want to do 3 one day. Since the only members of the group who had played the game hated it, they talked very little about the game and ended their playthrough once the 10,000 Poko debt was filled, not bothering with the game’s extensive postgame or even getting the GoldenEnding. For what it’s worth, Ryan apologized in comments of the finale for disappointing fans of the game.

** A channel wide break started on September 17th 2022 and lasted until January 15th 2023 due to burn out. This has left both the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes3'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania]]'' commentaries on hiatus for now.

** In the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' commentary, Ryan says that the Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios would be closing and Disney planned to "put in something else." While this was the case, the Tower of Terror that closed was actually at Disney's California Adventure, where instead of it being replaced, was rethemed into a ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' drop ride.

** For the actual tenth anniversary in May 2019, the group made another video once again reminiscing about the early years of the channel, how far they've come since then, and what their favorite recent playthroughs are. They then did three revisits of [[WhereItAllBegan their very first playthroughs]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]], [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1 Donkey Kong Country]] and [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes No More Heroes' Hero's Paradise]].

* OldShame:
** Ryan feels this way with the first 2 commentaries VideoGame/SuperMarioBros and VideoGame/MegaMan2, the former was revisited on the channel's 10th anniversary while the latter in 2014 in the Wily Wars playthrough.
*** He considered the VideoGame/WarioWorld playthrough a "catastrophe" and said that he wanted to show where everything is in the VideoGame/WarioLand4 playthrough to make up for it.
** Johnny feels this way about most of the commentaries from 2009 to early 2011.
** Amanda's "WHAT THE FUCK!?" from part 23 of ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog''. After listening to herself (and realized that the other commentators had been telling her to stop while she ran out of earshot), she felt extremely embarrassed about her outburst.

** The crew show shades of this during the various Star Wars commentaries, particular in the crew's commentary of ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. For example, on multiple occasions, Ryan and Johnny say that Master Sifo-Dyas is an alter-ego of Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus. [[spoiler: Sifo-Dyas was actually a friend of Dooku's and was murdered before the events of the film]]. Otherwise, apart from the occasional CriticalResearchFailure, it should be noted the guys are extremely knowledgeable about Star Wars.
