History WebVideo / DankPods

* Garbage Time, initially for random videos usually involving his pet snake [[EnsembleDarkHorse Frank]], but later converted to focus on [[AllegedCar nuggetty cars]].
* The Drum Thing, [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOnTheTin about drums and drum-related content]].
* Hello, I'm Gaming., a gaming channel (primarily) showcasing various poor-quality games.

----

* TheAllegedCar: Wade has an affinity for such cars, both having grown up with them and also for the peace of mind that, since the car's already old and beaten up, he won't ever feel bad for damaging it. A count of some of the nuggety vehicles he and Jamess have spent time fixing:
** "Tony Kowalski", A 1991 FSM Niki / Polski-Fiat Maluch he bought in July of 2021 to fix up with his friend James. It broke down in the middle of a bus lane at one point. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0FHMYvCzUg They did eventually manage to fix it up]] into a mostly-serviceable car, which required tearing the engine apart to replace most of the individual components. The process also showed just ''how bad'' of a state it was in before, the most alarming thing being how fuel was leaking into the oil supply, dissolving parts of the engine from the inside and filling the cabin with dangerous amounts of fumes when driving.
** He later bought "Sleepy(/Smelly) Jeff", a [[https://youtu.be/3QTOiZADmqw 1996 EF Ford Falcon GLi]], a weird freak of nature with the trim of a cheap taxi and a high-end V8 engine, that he thought "only" had problems with leaking coolant that would take a day to fix. Cut to James getting under the chassis and discovering oil leaks compensated for by overfilling the oil tank, the mufflers replaced with janky soldered-on pipes that were leaking, the fancy differential was busted and ''also'' leaking and all the bearings for wheels and pulleys being worn. It took six entire weeks to fix everything, only for the interior to stink, be fairly slow, and have incredibly poor mileage.
*** It was later discovered that the bad smell in the interior was due to [[spoiler: multiple DEAD mice living in the interior of the car]], which resulted in Jeff [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-vBAl2AWnA having its ENTIRE interior removed]], including the seats, as Wade 'banned' Jeff from having an interior. What remained of the interior would later become completely disinfected with white vinegar to permanently remove the old smell. Unable to find proper replacement seats, he eventually settled on applying a used, filthy bench seat from an older ED Falcon found at a U-Pull-It, with a hole cut in the middle to allow the parking brake to be used. Though it now lacks a proper interior, thankfully Jeff no longer stinks. It even managed to gain [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR0l4RxGWsw better fuel mileage]] as a result!
** He inherited a 1985 Daihatsu Charade for free from an old housemate and named it "[[Characters/BatmanTwoFace Two-Face]]". The driver's side is covered up with graffiti art (hence its name), the brakes are completely gone, the tires are 21 years old and the interior was full of trash that had been untouched for about 6 years. Despite all this, it is deemed to be in better condition than Jeff... [[spoiler:until he and James gutted its engine out.]]
** The Donkey Van, a 2003 Mitsubishi Express van with half a million kilometers on the clock and commensurate major wear in the engine, differential, transmission, and general beaten appearance. Being so rough as to not care about mistreating it was the point when purchased, and it mostly worked despite the smoke and noises [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUv6cyKZdIs and the bananas in the differential]] until a can of engine conditioner spray burnt a hole in the head gasket. After being repaired it now runs worse than before and performs and drinks worse than Jeff. Wade eventually would re-adjust the timing in the engine and give the van [[https://youtu.be/2-4ovsSBgis another fuel run]], where it managed [[spoiler: to drink less fuel than Jeff pre-interior ban... barely.]]
** His latest addition is an as-yet-unnamed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSooUbfhPQ 2007 Mercedes CLS 500]], a dream vehicle of his that he found at a used car dealership for $20,000. A not-terribly-happy James set about working on it while Wade was visiting Canada for three weeks, expecting that he would return to a fully-restored nice car that he could enjoy. Instead, Wade learned that James had discovered the car had been badly abused throughout its lifetime, including signs that it had been on a forklift, mold in the doors, corroded wiring, and a non-original boot. The climax of the video shows Wade taking the car through the car wash and getting soaked ''through the windshield''. Ultimately he resigns himself to the fact that he's acquired yet another nugget, proclaiming this one "the nicest nugget I've ever driven."
** For completion, the non-nuggets in Wade's possession include Bruce 2 ([[CoolCar 2013 VE Holden Commodore SV6 ute]]), The Frog (2017 Nissan Leaf), [[BoringButPractical The Car]] (1998 Toyota Corolla, borderline nugget) and Mum's Nugg (2018 Suzuki Baleno). Bruce 2's name alludes to Bruce, a deceased 2003 BA Ford Falcon ute that was deemed not worth fixing due to being set up for LPG fuel, an artefact of 2000s Australia that is no longer viable for regular use.
* ArchEnemy: [=eBay=], following his refusal to use them following the terrible, terrible service of the Global Shipping Program, as seen in his three videos about it.

* AscendedMeme: After the Cash Converters song from his Australia Day special became a common inside joke with his fans, he decided to record a video about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8trRQreM_J0 iPods brought from Cash Converters]]. This was spun off into the "Cashies Special" series of videos, in which Wade displays items he brought from Cash Converters.

* AutoIncorrect: When [[https://youtu.be/mhMQeJ5Qmp0 Wade tries an Apple Newton]], he finds that ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' may have been a little generous, as "Eat up Martha" at least ''resembles'' "Beat up Martin", unlike "Brokerage". It variously interprets "Dingus" as "Rings", "Bridges", "Directs", "King's", "did yes", and eventually "Berger", and it interprets "Hello my name" as "dominance", resulting in the bizarrely threatening IceCreamKoan "dominance is frank".
* AwesomeButImpractical: Most of his iPod mods are this. In particular, upgrading the storage of an iPod to 1TB or 2TB may sound impressive, but in practice, it's highly unstable and difficult to actually get to work, and actually ''storing'' that much data on the iPod is nigh-impossible anyway. (His attempt to get to 4TB flat-out failed, to boot.) Similarly, installing an SSD intended for a PC in an iPod may sound cool (and not that difficult to do, at least) but it's prone to data loss, is ''slower'' than using the hard drive, causes massive heat problems and absolutely destroys the battery life.

** "Oh, my puhk-cell!" - any time he knocks over the collection of cheap "PK Cell" branded batteries that came with various devices.

** "That's how you know you're thinning out the soup a bit too much." Said whenever he has to use an adapter to plug a cheap set of headphones into his amp.

* CrazyEnoughToWork: In the "Flash vs Hard Drive" video, Wade decided to test to see which iPod hard drives were stronger: the flash drive or the hard drive. How did he do it? Make a faux keyring on both iPods, tied rope on them, went on a private road and '''''tied them to his motorcycle and dragged them by the rope'''''. Surprisingly enough, the hard drive survived!
** In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnZbsWwzssU They made drumsticks for the iPod]]", Wade shows off an air drumstick toy made for the [=iPod=], only to find that it doesn't work like it's supposed to (likely due to the electronics inside not aging well, though the controls still worked). Believing them to be cheaply made (indeed, he later snaps them easily like a twig), he tries breaking them by using them with his actual drumkit. Amazingly, they held up the entire way through, even with how hard he played with them.

** Wade appears as a guest in the WebVideo/LinusTechTips videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IZ8Pn6-ldk "Trolling DankPods with AliExpress Headphones"]] (Where Linus builds Wade a pair of headphones with off the shelf parts from AliExpress) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMAu_mCxoII "I Gave Money To Criminals"]] (Where Linus and co look at various scam "audiophile" products).
* DamnedByFaintPraise: Whenever he compares multiple products, he usually names one to be the best of the bunch. Which is usually undercut by the fact that he's talking about bad products.

** From mid-2020 to late-2023, his videos would usually end with him advertising the extra video/"after show" available to his Patreon followers, complete with a showcase of what the video is about. He also began promoting his side channels ("Garbage Time", "The Drum Thing", "Hello, I'm Gaming"), as well as his Floatplane streams, as they were introduced.

* TheFaceless: Wade/Dank prefers to stay behind his camera, and the most that viewers will usually see of him is his hands, with a few exceptions. However, in his drum streams or in videos that show him at his drum set, his face is easily visible, and he has appeared in other media such as WebVideo/LinusTechTips videos without hiding his face.
* GenderBlenderName: Wade's pet snake, Frank, who shows up at the end of most videos, is actually female. He reveals in an after show (later released for free) that this was because Frank was the runt of her litter; female carpet pythons are larger than males, and since Frank was too young and small to safely sex when Wade bought her, she was just assumed to be male since she was so small. Once Frank grew to be quite large and was discovered to be female, Wade chose to keep the name anyway.

** Also happened when he took the Skullcandy Crushers, a pair of headphones that have haptic motors to make the bass unlistenably loud, and recorded what they sounded like on a pair of sensitive headphone-tuning microphones. The loud, distorted bass that Wade recorded is powerful enough to actually damage your speakers if you aren't careful, as some viewers attested to.

* {{MacGyvering}}: James, a friend Wade calls in whenever he needs to get a car fixed, has been called the "jury-rig king", best shown when he got a shattered indicator bulb to work as a test light for checking the wiring in Wade's Fiat Niki. In this same video, he made a replacement gasket for the gear lever out of a water bottle neck.
* MadeInCountryX: {{Discussed}} in numerous videos. In general, Wade ''really'' doesn't like when companies who used to have their products handmade in their home country move production to China just to save a buck, being particularly upset that AKG has gone that route after being bought by Samsung. He doesn't have any problem with companies like KZ or [=KBEars=] though, which are real Chinese companies that primarily market to a Chinese audience, with the western market being secondary.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Wade will sometimes make up silly names for products and brands he is less than impressed with. Particularly notable is his RunningGag of referring to Samsung as "Smasnug", and throughout his review of the Raycon Bluetooth earphones, where he variously refers to them as "Rondons", "Rancans" and "Royjoys".
* MorePopularSpinOff: To his former channel ''Dankmus''. It should be noted that ''Dankmus'' wasn't just a small forgotten relic, it was rather well known, even getting [[https://www.vice.com/en/article/qvm8kp/simpsons-remixes-memes-steamed-hams-dankmus-youtube-student-loan-debt being acknowledged by VICE]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guriBVXu6pM interviewed as well]]. However following the success of ''Dankpods'', it has eclipsed whatever ''Dankmus'' was, which is ironic considering Wade put the channel on sporadic updates due to Youtube's system (even at one point suspending monetization of his channel for ''a year'').
* MythologyGag: When attempting to load music onto his [=JAMP3=], the enclosed software decodes children's music found on the Eee PC when he simply wants Scarlet Fire. Wade explains that this is because he uploaded them during the filming of a Patreon-exclusive "after show".
* NewTechnologyIsEvil: {{Downplayed}} with his [[https://youtu.be/HqJvXs5HG3E?t=350 opinion on true wireless earbuds]]. While he absolutely understands how important convenience is, he finds you can get better sound for a lot less money if you're willing to compromise and buy headphones with a cable, and can then get accessories to win back some of that convenience while still paying less. But moreover, true wireless earbuds are eventually guaranteed to stop working as the batteries in them lose the ability to hold a charge, while decent wired headphones can last for decades if taken care of, as evidenced by his collection of vintage headphones from as far back as the 1980s.
** Also {{Zigzagged}} with his opinion on vinyl records compared to digital, pointing out that a lot of stigma against digital music comes from the early days when music files needed to be smaller, and audio compression wasn't as advanced as today. On the other hand, vinyl records can still sound great, but it depends on the quality of the recording. He points out that the reason why some people prefer vinyl's "warmer" sound is probably that they prefer the way music has to be mixed on vinyl.[[labelnote:*]]Specifically, the bass has to be in mono while some of the higher-end frequencies need to be shaved off, to keep the needle from moving too much and skipping.[[/labelnote]] His biggest reason for enjoying vinyl was that the hassle of setting the record and inability to skip tracks encouraged him to listen to full albums, rather than pause them and go do something else.
* NonIndicativeName: His "Nugget Lucky Dip" series, in which he takes a bag filled with old, crappy [=MP3=] players bought in bulk, and rummages through it to find some good ones. As he himself pointed out, it is very rarely lucky.
* OhCrap: He tends to have these moments whenever something isn't right with the product he looks at, but one big example was when attempting to fix his [=1TB=] iPod, he realizes there's more damage after he broke the chassis and it began to make crack noises when he attempted to put it together. He will sometimes break into a sing-song "Oh nooo-ooo-ooo!" when something is going especially badly.

* PercussiveTherapy: Any particularly terrible devices and accessories will usually end up smashed by the end of the video, either by being whacked with a small anvil, or the "1 grit sandpaper", which is just a fist-sized chunk of a broken concrete slab. Particularly low-quality earbuds will often be subject to an audio version of this where they're plugged into a high-quality headphone amp which is set to full blast in an attempt to burn them out.
* ProductPlacement: PlayedWith. Wade always says "Not sponsored" when talking about iFlash in any iPod repair video he's done, and several videos of him shilling really nice headphones and accessories have him clarifying that he's just a happy customer.

** The three videos on [=eBay=]'s Global Shipping Program can be seen as this, although the third one is where it fully became a rant about how terrible the service is, especially when in said video Wade explained that an item he ordered ''actually was stolen''. He then declared in the video that he was giving up on [=eBay=] and permanently moving on to buying things from other sellers or Amazon, who have been more reliable to him.
** The video on the Zune[[note]]Microsoft's failed attempt to join the media player market[[/note]] and the series on booting Windows 10 on an iPod will have Wade completely rip apart Microsoft for becoming very lazy and sketchy with certain decisions, most notably on the former borderline ranting about Microsoft's laziness in making what could have been a decent [=MP3=] player and the latter with a small tirade about Microsoft becoming very complacent following the release of Windows 10 since they don't really have competition anymore.
** As mentioned, the Zune gets an ''epic'' one for how he sees a wasted product:
---> '''Wade/Dank''': So to sum this guy up: The [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows biggest, richest tech company]] with by far the best experience in the field ''and'' influence in the computer scene abandons everyone they ''suck in their junk media OS'', to wind up using someone else's design, which wasn't selling well by the way, [[ChristmasRushed due to wanting to rush it out by Christmas]], [[invoked]][[ObviousBeta whose only hot selling features were totally gimped, to put a store together that was poorly stocked with content, at a time that NO ONE was asking for something like this]], only to ''[[UsefulNotes/DigitalRightsManagement add their DRMS]]'' and ARROGANT point system to buy music, stupid [[Main/{{Microtransactions}} Microsoft Funbucks]], WITH less supported music formats, [[CreatorBacklash only to throw it all away like it had never happened]], abandoning everyone who actually thought Microsoft was gonna do something cool. (exasperated) '''''[[UnfortunateNames SQUIRTING!?]]'''''[[note]]The name Microsoft gave to the Zune feature of sharing songs to one another, ''yes'' they named it that...[[/note]]

** His video on {{Platform/Twitch}}'s bad automated customer support, due to his account's payments supposedly being "suspended", leading to him quietly joining Floatplane, a streaming platform owned by WebVideo/LinusTechTips.
* RunningGag:

*** Similarly he'll often pronounce "manual" as "Manuel".

* SequelEscalation: After successfully upgrading an iPod Classic to 1TB of storage, he has a sequel video where he upgrades it to 2TB, and a final one where he tries (and fails) to get it to 4TB.

** In his review of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zClw-XmSk the iDuck]], he refers to the "not for children under 3 years old" symbol on the packaging as "Nought to three sad onions", which is what Creator/StuartAshen invariably calls the symbol in his videos. He references Ashens again when he does a review of the Interchangeable Game Child (and subsequently summons Ashens' viewerbase when he calls attention to ''WebVideo/AshensAndTheQuestForTheGameChild''). Helps that he's a longtime subscriber to Ashens.
* StopHavingFunGuys: [[invoked]] [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk-Tybi-ihw Headphone Starter Guide]] with regards to online audiophile communities, as well with other hobbies. He greatly dislikes the "snobbery" in forums for a hobby that is very much down to personal taste, and where the highest-end options can be prohibitively expensive and impractical for most people that just want better headphones than what came with their phone. But on the other side of the coin, he ''does'' understand such people being fed up with people joining forums just to ask the same questions that have been asked time and time again, and recommends anyone considering getting into an audiophile community to do their own research and to search their site to find answers to anything they want to know first.
* TimTaylorTechnology: The [[https://youtu.be/gv-L8vRncGw?si=oznFKkwmbZuwLoHe Maraca Cracker 9000]]. A gift to the channel to give Wade something to reliably destroy the cheap headphones that seem to come with every media player, it comes with a proper covered arming switch and a warning never to plug in anything he doesn't want to lose. It takes the output of an amp that typically pushes audio to every speaker in a good-sized supermarket or airport terminal, and compresses it down to a single headphone out. He's completely aware that it has zero practical applications beyond his own amusement.

* VideoReviewShow: With a definite focus on AccentuateTheNegative, although this can be to products that genuinely suck (such as the [=SpongeBob=] [=MP3=] player or the Zune) and even ''if'' the item sucks, he tries to make it fun and entertaining.

** Subverted in the end where after that revelation, it cuts to a quick black screen where Wade puts that he honestly doesn't care and that the Lego [=MP3=] Player really did suck to use.

** "Tony Kowalski", The FSM Niki / Polski-Fiat Maluch he bought in July of 2021 to fix up with his friend James. It broke down in the middle of a bus lane at one point. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0FHMYvCzUg They did eventually manage to fix it up]] into a mostly-serviceable car, which required tearing the engine apart to replace most of the individual components. The process also showed just ''how bad'' of a state it was in before, the most alarming thing being how fuel was leaking into the oil supply, dissolving parts of the engine from the inside and filling the cabin with dangerous amounts of fumes when driving.
** He later bought "Sleepy(/Smelly) Jeff", a [[https://youtu.be/3QTOiZADmqw '95 EF Ford Falcon GLi]], a weird freak of nature with the trim of a cheap taxi and a high-end V8 engine, that he thought "only" had problems with leaking coolant that would take a day to fix. Cut to James getting under the chassis and discovering oil leaks compensated for by overfilling the oil tank, the mufflers replaced with janky soldered-on pipes that were leaking, the fancy differential was busted and ''also'' leaking and all the bearings for wheels and pulleys being worn. It took six entire weeks to fix everything, only for the interior to stink, be fairly slow, and have incredibly poor mileage.

** He inherited a 1984 Daihatsu Charade for free from an old housemate and named it "[[Characters/BatmanTwoFace Two-Face]]". The driver's side is covered up with graffiti art (hence its name), the brakes are completely gone, the tires are 21 years old and the interior was full of trash that had been untouched for about 6 years. Despite all this, it is deemed to be in better condition than Jeff... [[spoiler:until he and James gutted its engine out.]]

** His latest addition is an as-yet-unnamed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSooUbfhPQ 2006 Mercedes CLS 500]], a dream vehicle of his that he found at a used car dealership for $20,000. A not-terribly-happy James set about working on it while Wade was visiting Canada for three weeks, expecting that he would return to a fully-restored nice car that he could enjoy. Instead, Wade learned that James had discovered the car had been badly abused throughout its lifetime, including signs that it had been on a forklift, mold in the doors, corroded wiring, and a non-original boot. The climax of the video shows Wade taking the car through the car wash and getting soaked ''through the windshield''. Ultimately he resigns himself to the fact that he's acquired yet another nugget, proclaiming this one "the nicest nugget I've ever driven."
** For completion, the non-nuggets in Wade's possession include Bruce 2 ([[CoolCar 2013 VE Holden Commodore SV6 ute]]), The Frog (2017 Nissan Leaf), [[BoringButPractical The Car]] ('98 Corolla, borderline nugget) and Mum's Nugg (2018 Suzuki Baleno). Bruce 2's name alludes to Bruce, a deceased '03 BA Ford Falcon ute that was deemed not worth fixing due to being set up for LPG fuel, an artefact of 2000s Australia that is no longer viable for regular use.

** The Donkey Van, a 2001 Mitsubishi Express van with half a million kilometers on the clock and commensurate major wear in the engine, differential, transmission, and general beaten appearance. Being so rough as to not care about mistreating it was the point when purchased, and it mostly worked despite the smoke and noises [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUv6cyKZdIs and the bananas in the differential]] until a can of engine conditioner spray burnt a hole in the head gasket. After being repaired it now runs worse than before and performs and drinks worse than Jeff. Wade eventually would re-adjust the timing in the engine and give the van [[https://youtu.be/2-4ovsSBgis another fuel run]], where it managed [[spoiler: to drink less fuel than Jeff pre-interior ban... barely.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: This is how he describes the iPod Nano: They are a very good product for managing to be so small... but that's ''exactly'' why they are cursed according to him; Due to how tightly everything inside them is packed to make them so small, the rechargeable battery is pressed directly against the back of the display. When the battery inevitably starts expanding, it starts damaging the screen (leading to a "black spot"), and can then cause ''far'' worse problems if left unchecked, including damage to the body and the risk of catching fire and exploding. It's bad enough to the point where he keeps his "black spot" Nanos sealed in a jar.

** Since mid-2020, his videos usually end with him advertising the extra video/"after show" available to his Patreon followers, complete with a showcase of what the video is about. Shame on you, non-Patreon following viewers...

* TheFaceless: Wade/Dank doesn't show his face in his videos[[note]]Unless you were more familiar with his ''Dankmus'' channel, in which he showed his face in one video[[/note]], always setting his camera to his work desk. You do see his reflection during the "Boot Windows 10 from an iPod Classic" video, as well as in the pilot video of the channel, but that's about it. Averted when he reached 200k subscribers when he showed his face indirectly via his ''ID Card'' (with the 1 GRIT rock covering the sensitive information) through the YT community section.
* GenderBlenderName: Wade's pet snake, Frank, who shows up at the end of most videos, is actually female.

[=DankPods=] is an Australian Website/YouTube channel, named after the owner's (real name Wade Nixon) eBay account. His videos are about iPods, "nugget" [=MP3=] players and headphones, usually reviewing them in a comedic way.

** His video on {{Website/Twitch}}'s bad automated customer support, due to his account's payments supposedly being "suspended", leading to him quietly joining Floatplane, a streaming platform owned by WebVideo/LinusTechTips.

** [=DankPods'=] fascination with ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', the quintessentially early-2000s movie whose heyday overlapped closely with that of the iPod, crops up in many videos:
