* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Geoff's cheat sheet for ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' claims that Vanilla Ice's Stand, Cream, was only made for the sake of a stupid pun and not a reference to music, tarot cards, or Egyptian gods. A pun maybe, but Music/{{Cream}} is the name of a real band.

The trope is about works getting facts wrong. He said this in a tweet, not a work of his


** With the ''Smash'' incident described in HePannedItNowHeSucks, he cited several examples of characters that he thinks aren't tournament-viable specifically due to the lack of random items. One such character is Pikachu, which he described as a character that specializes in "picking up items". In the whole ''Smash'' series and under tournament rules, Pikachu has been top tier at best and mid tier at worst.

** In the ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'' Adapt or Die episode, just as he's finishing up his ad spot for Bookwalker and an attached competition to win a quite large hardbound collector's edition of the light novel, he says that even if you don't win, the ebooks do have advantages...but since this involves showing off the version on his phone, he's now holding the DoorStopper book with one hand, and loses his grip in seconds.

** In "Top 5 WORST Anime of 2021", Geoff loses focus and goes completely off-script when stumbling over a certain line:
--->'''Geoff:''' In the very next episode, the absolute terrorist blows herself up by standing-- Heh, it said "[[HehHehYouSaidX blows herself]]" in the script. I-I just read... ''(chuckles)'' "In the very next episode, the absolute terrorist blows herself"... ''(breaks down laughing)'' I just-I just wrote "blows herself". I forgot the "up"! ''(snickers)'' I don't know why this is so funny. ''(laughs) Fuck!'' I'm a child! A ''man''child!

** In the years following his videos on Anime Piracy, Geoff admitted he made a mistake in how hostile he was in regards to the topic, especially towards other content creators that disagreed with him. He still doesn't agree with it, but he admitted to being too hostile, and apologized to those he targeted.

He still doesn't agree with it, but he admitted to being too hostile, and apologized to those he targeted. Later on, in March 2021, he regretted taking an absolute stand against any form of piracy, feeling that cases of KeepCirculatingTheTapes were enough of a justification:

** In his video comparing the hit tv show ''Series/SquidGame'' to ''Manga/{{Kaiji}}'', he starts off recording about his previous video about the manga, in which he negatively compared ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}'' to it. He admits the video was very unfair because ''Kakegurui'' in no way actually tries to emulate or follow in ''Kaiji'' 's footsteps, and is much closer to ''Franchise/YuGiOh'', and when compared to that anime, ''Kakegurui'''s appeal becomes more clear.
