* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[invoked]]Kilian does this for every single character in his videos--when he isn't ignoring their characterization entirely, anyway. Ridiculous Recaps tend to at least take the original game into account.
** [[Franchise/{{Warcraft}} Khadgar]], despite being TheArchmage, is actually "a pretty shit wizard", due to the fact that his duty is supposedly to keep the Dark Portal closed but [[CardboardPrison something manages to get through it basically every other week.]]
** [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas Caesar's Legion]] are actually just a bunch of edgy teens in the middle of an adolescent phase.

** One that spans across videos: Kilian's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTUyGk2Dlx0 Game of the Year 2017]] video has a RunningGag of him claiming manatees are the real culprits in creating the AfterTheEnd settings in three of the games he reviews featuring RobotWar s. The reason for this is made more clear in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrzwkJZ_aqk The Best, The Smartest and The Most Evil Animal on the Planet]] uploaded nearly 2 years later, where Kilian relates the history of the ancient Red Panda Empire and their downfall...which was caused by manatees who formed a HiveMind that devoured most of the galaxy before being defeated by [[ItMakesSenseInContext an alpaca]].

Added DiffLines:

** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1MXYDkXZAE&t=776s "The Entire History of Music"]] Kilian describes Vivaldi's Four Seasons as "Baroque Thriller" in the Baroque section, then in the modern section he refers to Michael Jackson's Thriller as "Modern Four Seasons". Additionally he described the musician Ugu in prehistory as the first musician ever and as being murdered by his Chief at 27. At the end of the video, quoting himself, Kilian shows a picture of Ugu next to David Bowie while urging the viewers not to become musicians because "Only two legends lived long and happy lives! Shite's cursed!"

* CripplingOverspecialization: Kilian considers orchestras a stupid idea for this reason.
--> '''Kilian''': "We need 90 people, and they all need to have dedicated their life to a sepcific instrument."


Added DiffLines:

* HeistEpisode: In the Renaissance section of "The Entire History of Music", Kilian describes the creation of the first Orchestra as though Claudio Monteverdi was assembling a CaperCrew, complete with Heist Music and his first four recruits being initially hesitant to join him. The name of the first Orchestra was even "Claudius 30".

* DealWithTheDevil: According to him, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' was created on a short deadline through one (as was ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''). The price in both cases was that they would have to put the Devil in the game - who, incidentally, looks exactly like [[spoiler: [[ShallIRepeatThat Kaepora Gaebora.]]]]

* RuleOfThree: "What Is The Future Car?" features this in its main RunningGag. Two times in the video, someone points out to Kilian that, based on its described features and apparent purpose, the Kilrari is actually just an RV, to which Kilian responds by shouting "IT'S NOT AN RV" and then breaking out the ColorfulInsults. However, when he gets to the thing's fuel and it becomes apparent that the Kilrari runs on crystal meth and includes the supplies and equipment to make it, the person instead asks if the Kilrari is a meth lab. Kilian starts the "IT'S NOT AN RV!" tirade, but stops himself and [[OnlyBadGuysCallTheirLawyers asks to see his lawyer.]]

-->"Hey John, wanna go see a Super Bowl later? I have bought several inches of diet coke! Alright!"
-->"No, I can't, motherfucker. I have to do the Thanksgiving. It sucks. There are so many Fahrenheidts outside!"

* BadassGay: Duke Steven of Some Place - a genetically perfect leader (Genius, Attractive, Strong) with a good heart (kind, charitable) who was able to successfully defeat every attempt by Kilian's world-spanning empire to invade his island. He's also openly married to Mayor Hierotheos of Deuteron - Kilian's old chancellor.



** Duke Steven of Some Place. Apart from being a BadassGay who staves off all invasion attempts from [[TheEmpire Cornwall]], he accomplishes this without any violence at all.

Added DiffLines:

** His ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1MXYDkXZAE Entire History of Music]]'' video is full of these from start to finish, but the most egrigious is when Kilian blamed World War One on Tchaikovsky. His explanation is that the use of cannons in the 1812 Overture started a trend of musicians using weapons-grade explosives until said trend reached it's logical conclusion.

Subverted in his ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'' video, where he promises to take over the world in a handful of turns as a nation whose primary trait is having no real military - and fails miserably.

* ItWillNeverCatchOn: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-3B967W67k "Garbage Retrospective Of Nintendo Entertainment System"]], which was (supposedly) made in TheEighties, is full of this. Things Kilian stated would fail include ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'', and TheInternet. In fact, he was so incensed at the trailers for ''Film/DieHard'' depicting "a TV actor fighting terrorists" that he swore he'd mail his video collection to Romania if it was successful (given that the video was supposedly rediscovered in the hands of a former Romanian President, it seems he followed through). Conversely, he thought that ''VideoGame/ExciteBike'' would last forever.

* CordonBleughChef: His attempt at making pizza includes many instances of this: he mixes the tomato sauce with a pineapple smoothie, mixes ground-up dry pineapple into the dough, covers the dough in pineapple juice instead of olive oil, and then tops it with prosciutto ham and an entire basil plant (complete with dirt still stuck to the roots). The result is so bad that he breaks character to admit it tasted disgusting.
