* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Yahtzee and his reviewing style in ''Zero Punctuation'' are some of the last remnants of the mid-late 2000s internet critic trend of shorter reviews consisting of rapid-fire insults and [[ToiletHumor vulgar comedy]].

Yahtzee's videos themselves still remain quite popular, with new ones quickly racking in hundreds of thousands of views, even if his style of review itself has largely fallen out of favor. It could be a case of GrandfatherClause.
