History WebVideo / JayExci

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers:
** In EWW EWW Alien, Jay provides a list of words designed to make people think of genitalia, with the final one being "Series/GameOfThrones".
** In [=CinemaSinsSinsSins 2=], also doubling as a TakeThat:
-->'''Jay''': Since the beginning of [=CinemaSinsSinsSins=], I've been on a journey. A journey of self-discovery. A journey of love, hope, joy; of life and beauty. But also fear, anger, treachery, and Brooks Show.

* ExpospeakGag: Jay indulges in this briefly in EWW EWW Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Part 2.

* PetPeeveTrope: As repeatedly demonstrated in her various "X is painfully unfunny" videos, Jay cannot ''stand'' flagrant overuse of the InstantlyProvenWrong, HypocriticalHumor, ButtMonkey and GrossOutShow tropes that lesser AnimatedShockComedy shows rely on so heavily, since after a certain point the subversive part of of the "subversive humor" inherent in these tropes evaporates if every single trope is "Character does their character trait", "character says one thing but the opposite happens", "character says what is about to happen verbatim", " random gross thing happens" or "[[ButtMonkey punching-bag character is mocked or the subject of violence for no reason]]". In "The Painful Tale of ''WesternAnimation/{{Farzar}}''", she goes on an elaborate diatribe about how in order for shock comedy to work, the comedy has to be both unexpected and escalate the situation in a believable way(citing ''Series/FreshMeat'' as an example of a show that does this well), whereas ''Farzar'' has random edgy and disgusting things happen without setting them up first, resulting in all of its jokes falling flat in her eyes.

* DoorStopper: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8_A7n83Rh0 The Fall of Doctor Who]] can be considered Jay's magnum opus with its [[MemeticMutation 5 hours, 14 minutes and 23 seconds]] of runtime.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: In EWW EWW Spectre, Jeremy suggests that it's too convenient that Bond always spots incoming danger via reflective surfaces... but this is actually a known anti-surveillance technique, and Jay trained herself to do it, so it's not unrealistic to think that a spy would do this. %%InUniverse

* CriticalResearchFailure:[[invoked]] Jay calls out some of [=CinemaSins'=] examples of this, such as when they do not realize something in a movie is accurate (such as his unawareness that it is common for video game levels to be left DummiedOut in EWW ''Wreck-It Ralph''), or when a sin is based on a misunderstanding of the movie's plot (such as in EWW ''Warcraft'', when he sins the fact that the orcs are still around when the humans are trouncing them with magic, despite the fact that the encounter shown is the first time humans and orcs have ever fought each other.)

* CallBack: The Fall of Doctor Who briefly included a clip of Series/AnotherLife's "pidgeon sounds" at the end of a compilation of dumb quotes.

* SelfDeprecation: Lots and lots of it, and taken UpToEleven in the [=CinemaSinsSinsSins=] specials.

* UpToEleven: [=CinemaSinsSinsSins=]: Everything Wrong With Everything Wrong With Everything Wrong With Everything.

* SockPuppet: Although most of the comments on Jay's negative review of the ''Game of Thrones'' browser game are positive and do not try to defend the game, 4 days after releasing the video she encountered a small group of commenters who all speak the game's praises. Curiously, all these commenters have names written in Cyrillic, [[YouNoTakeCandle speak in similar broken English]], and always describe the game as "The officialy licensed browser game" or similar. Hmmm...

** In EWW EWW ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne'', Jeremy states that he is asking a question about Wade's [=DeLorean=], but said question includes something which is just an opinion and thus basically a sin. Suprised by this, Jay inverts her usual catchphrase involving questions and sins into "That's not a question. It's a sin. Jeremy must learn the difference between questions and sins." She immediately lampshades it, admitting that she never imagined using it that way around.

* CriticalResearchFailure:[[invoked]] Jay calls out some of [=CinemaSins'=] examples of this, such as when they do not realize something in a movie is accurate (such as his unawareness that it is common for video game levels to be left DummiedOut in EWW ''Wreck-It Ralph''), or when a sin is based on a misunderstanding of the movie's plot (such as in EWW ''Warcraft'', when she sins the fact that the orcs are still around when the humans are trouncing them with magic, despite the fact that the encounter shown is the first time humans and orcs have ever fought each other.)

* IHatePastMe: As a child, Jay made ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}'' videos that she now detests for their abysmal production values. An entire segment of [=CinemaSinsSinsSins 2=] is devoted to Jay mercilessly deriding his younger self.
* IndecisiveParody: In his video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apJnWkCuqkc CinemaSins Videos Aren't Satire. They're Just Poorly Written]]", Jay calls out those who defend [=CinemaSins's=] inaccuracies on the basis of the channel being satirical, as [=CinemaSins=] makes many mistakes which cannot be obviously distinguished from legitimate criticism, thus ruining any satirical intent they may have had. She also points out that [=CinemaSins=] also call themselves critics as well, which makes the argument even more silly from her perspective.

** Before starting the earlier episodes of EWW EWW, Jay would give a legal disclaimer stating how she is allowed to use the film footage in the video, which always ended with "Please don't sue us." (This was likely in response to the copyright claims on many of the earlier videos.) Eventually, Jay ran out of ways to say this in a funny way and this part was dropped.

Originally called [=CinemaSinsSins=], the channel's initial focus was primarily on the flaws and shortcomings of WebVideo/CinemaSins; later, the "Cinema" was dropped to reflect its identity as a more general channel for metacriticism. Eventually, Jay changed the name of her channel to "Jay Exci's [=SinsSins=]" and then just "Jay Exci" to further emphasize this new focus, and she only makes [=SinsSins=] videos occasionally now.

The channel analyses works from all over [=YouTube=] critical culture; mostly movie critiques, but also gaming and animation on occasion. While Cinema Sins remains a major focus, the channel often covers less well-known critical works, including fan-made Cinema Sins derivatives (so-called "off-brand Cinema Sins") and blatant low-effort clickbait videos.

She also came out as [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} non-binary]] in 2020 and currently uses she/they/he pronouns.

** In EWW EWW Star Wars: Episode III Part 1, Jay begins her usual "this movie, that movie" gag, but then realizes that he’s never actually seen the movie Jeremy is referencing.

* SaltAndPepper: Jay Exci and [[WebVideo/Th3Birdman Th3Birdman]], respectively.

* TechnicianVsPerformer: WebVideo/Th3Birdman and Jay Exci respectively

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Jay will remove sins for things that genuinely made her laugh.

She also came out as [[{{Transgender}} non-binary]] in 2020 and currently uses she/they/he pronouns.

** Jay hates using iMovie (free movie editing software bundled with Macintosh computers), and isn't shy about expressing her dislike whenever he’s forced to use it.

** On a more analytical example, Jay ''hates'' it when people criticize a work but blatantly ignore that the work in question either explains itself or is incorrect. Several of her videos discussing other critiques of films often revolve around pointing out how the critique in question is often unwarranted because the film itself does explain it (he makes it clear that liking/disliking the explanation is entirely subjective). For example, in her response to youtuber [=HiTopFilms=] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT-NYSE8gFs Spiderman Far From Home Broke My Heart]]'' video, she points out that [=HiTopFilms=] point about Peter Parker seemingly not to suffer consequences is incorrect and is based on his want for the film, not what actually happens.
