History Trivia / Wileyk209zback

** This is brought up in a sequel commercial parody he made in 2020 discussing Apple switching from Intel processors to their own ARM-based silicon chip processors for their UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh computers, where the Mac Guy notes how few Windows [=PCs=] on the market have optical disc drives now, but the PC Guy doesn't care, as he's optimistic in that he's still available with regular USB and charging ports, and will be a much more ideal gaming platform than the new ARM-based Macs.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In 2014, he made a Website/GoAnimate parody of the Advertising/GetAMac commercials of 2006-2009, where the PC Guy is happy and optimistic in that he still has an optical disc drive, which virtually no Macs on the market have, along with having Ethernet built in and other serviceable parts, to the Mac Guy's frustration. In the years since the video was made, fewer and fewer Windows [=PCs=] on the market would include optical disc drives (mostly tower machines), and (as of early 2020) nearly all desktop Macs on the market do include user-replaceable system memory.

* YouLookFamiliar: In his Website/GoAnimate remake of ''Caillou's Biggest Temper Tantrum'', a character who resembles the model most users choose for Warren Cook [[spoiler: is revealed to have dreamt the events of the video at the end]]. On a side note, the dad in this same sequence appears to be from the retired political theme.

* TalkingToHimself: Often done in his videos featuring plushie/puppet versions of cartoon characters like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Mushu]]. In the cases of Daffy and other ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' characters appearing, he does it as somewhat of an intentional throwback to Creator/MelBlanc doing the same in the classic shorts (and in some instances he'd even use the same sped-up technique for Daffy and WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales that was done with Blanc.)

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally when learning Penguin-Random House began re-releasing book-and-record adaptations of the Literature/LittleGoldenBooks, he bought ''The Poky Little Puppy'' title with the plans to play and review it as Zak Wolf in a vlog. But despite the blurb stating it used the 1950s read-along recording, among initially testing the record and finding out [[VeryFalseAdvertising it actually used the 1976 read-along soundtrack]] (co-produced with Disneyland Records), he chose to instead review it as [[WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs The Big Bad Wolf]], due to the Disneyland Records connection and thus often referring to it. He even threw in his usual CatchPhrase for Disney read-along reviews: "But enough of this yakking; let's see the pictures, hear the record, and read the book!" complete with [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] on how he couldn't resist saying that despite the newer edition of the book not including the "SEE, HEAR, READ" blurb Disney's read-alongs typically had.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** His "Arthur Makes an R-Rated Movie" [=YouTube=] Poop, originally made in 2009, had a photo of the then recently-elected UsefulNotes/BarackObama plastered over the UsefulNotes/BillClinton -esque aardvark President of the United States in the ''James Hound'' trailer. Though it's justified in that the Obama picture was placed over a Bill Clinton lookalike anyways (as the episode being pooped was originally made in 1997.)

* TheOtherDarrin: He enjoys commenting on and criticizing this in his record and audio cassette reviews, particularly when he's cosplaying as [[WesternAnimation/ThreeLittlePigs The Big Bad Wolf]] and playing the 1958 studio cast version of the ''Three Little Pigs'' soundtrack where the wolf is given a very eerie and menacing voice.
