History YMMV / Caddicarus

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Reactions to the Christian satire made all throughout ''The Unholy World of Jesus Games'' from Caddy's Christian fans have been mainly positive, with them citing that Caddy has clearly [[ShownTheirWork Shown His Work]] in the topics present, and overall finding the lighthearted jabs made at their culture to be well-done.

** His "My Top 10 Unpopular Gaming Opinions" video got a ''lot'' of it. Namely, he stated not liking ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'', thinking ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' isn't as good as everyone says it is, and admitting to liking around only 12% of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games and not liking any of the characters (besides Dr. Eggman).

*** "My Top 10 Unpopular Gaming Opinions" also earned him the hate of the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' fanbase after he panned everything about the series. However, in his review on ''VideoGame/SonicMania'', he does start to have a soft spot for the franchise and understood the appeal after playing the game.

*** At one point, Caddy sitting in a bathtub while a pot of boiling hot water is poured on top of him looks ''incredibly'' painful to the point of being wince-inducing.

** Out of all the one-off joke characters Caddicarus has used in his videos, Long Dennis has proved to be perhaps the most popular, even getting a ''second'' appearance in his one million subscriber special.

** From "[[https://youtu.be/rjG_vErbAJM The Ripoff World of Crash Bandicoot Merchandise]]", Caddy sitting in a bathtub while a pot of boiling hot water is poured on top of him looks ''incredibly'' painful to the point of being wince-inducing.

* {{Squick}}: The Beard Burger skit from the ''[[Videogame/ParappaTheRapper PaRappa the Rapper 2]]'' review.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:

* AcceptableTargets:
** Caddy is uncomfortable with fandoms in general, being mildly disturbed with "purely fandom games" such as Net Yaroze's ''Fujiyama''. WebSite/DeviantArt is also a common preferred target of his, specifically anything surrounding fetishes (including bizarre ones like ''flattened cartoon characters'', as mentioned in the episode "Aladdin: Jaffa Cake's Sister is P*ssed Off") commonly found on the website.
** Two words: ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig''. Caddy has made it clear that he has nothing but sheer contempt and hatred for the franchise, so much that he's done multiple videos ripping ''Peppa Pig'' apart. Most see it as this, but some see it as a BrokenBase thing. He would later come to regret making these videos as it made him look like he cared way too much about the quality of a cartoon for literal babies.

** While Caddy considering everything he made prior to December 2019 to be an {{Old Shame}} isn't anything controversial on its own, the way he [[BerserkButton acts about the videos]] on streams (particularly ''VideoGame/CrashBash'') whenever people mention how much they like them, as well as his increasingly spiteful {{Take That}}s towards them in his main videos, has some people worried that Caddy might be gatekeeping his ''own'' videos, while others just think that Caddy should be entitled to his opinion and leave it at that.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The RealLife Caddy is confirmed to take medication to help with depression and anxiety, and the character Caddicarus has been proven to take similar medication (albeit exaggerated into "crazy pills" for comedic effect). Is the SurrealHumor of the show all just a part of his little corner of the [[WorldOfWeirdness Reviewerverse]], or does Caddicarus have a serious mental illness and he's just imagining most of it?
--> '''Caddy:''' ''[Casually singing]'' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrNzgagLJ-w Taking my pills so I don't murder you. Taking my pills so I don't murder you. Taking my pills so I don't murder you.]]"''

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Accidentally invoked in "Kids Explain Star Wars", due to the [=YouTube=] thumbnail featuring Cerys and Caddy, but given the height difference in the thumbnail it's easy to misconstrue her to be Phoebe (her 8 year old daughter, who wears a flower headband in the video) which could be slightly off-putting. Caddy swiftly changed it when he realized how it looked.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: A few months before ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'' was released, he made a small video addressing his concerns and mentioned that he was not impressed by the footage he had seen. Once the game was released, it quickly became one of his favourite games of all time, feeling that the remastered versions of ''Crash 1'' & ''2'' were superior to the originals, and that ''Warped'' was just as good on both systems.[[note]] He notes that due to growing up with ''Crash 3'', he was a bit more nitpicky about it[[/note]] He did have some criticisms, but he felt that they were barely noticeable when everything else was so well done.

** Caddy adopted a new format in 2020, ditching his critical style and instead taking quick looks at multiple games in one video each. This change resulted in a huge jump in quality, giving the channel a rejuvenation after it had stagnated in subscriber counts. The new videos frequently reach millions of views while older videos only reached around 200k, and the channel is reaching its elusive 1 million subscriber milestone faster than ever because of it.

** In ''Destruction Derby 2'', he jokes about the shortness and incompleteness of the game's Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} article. The article was greatly revised since then, and became a "good article" in 2017.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The initial release of his "The Demonic World of Disney [=PS1=] Games" was criticized immediately for having a slur used against the LGBT community. He immediately removed the video, edited it out, and rereleased it the following day, apologizing profusely for having it in the video originally.
* BrokenBase:

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The initial release of his "The Demonic World of Disney [=PS1=] Games" was criticized immediately for having a transphobic slur. He immediately removed the video, edited it out, and rereleased it the following day, apologizing profusely for having it in the video originally.

** He caught a lot of flack of Twitter when he criticised ''VideoGame/FallGuys'', specifically its price tag, thinking it isn't worth $20 and would be much better as a FreeToPlay game, because he found it barebones and repetitive, though he stated he enjoyed it with friends and doesn't dislike it, it wasn't enough to extinguish the fire.

* BreakoutCharacter: Spons. What once started as just a super-imposed version of Caddy's head to promote Raid: Shadow Legends in his Lego games video, became a mainstay for any time he needed to talk about a sponsorship, taking on the appearance of the weird kite from the Pixar games video.

--->'''Caddy:''' But hey. At least I know that if I want to get to heaven, [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror all I have to do is fly a plane into a building]].

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
** In "Scooby-Doo and the Super Shag", Caddy gets upset over how each level's goal is a box of Scooby Snacks, even though you collect far more Scooby Snacks in the levels themselves and there's seemingly no reason for a standard box to be the goal. However, [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheCyberChase the movie the game was adapted from]] establishes that collecting a box of Scooby Snacks is how you progress from level to level in the in-universe game that the gang gets stuck in.
** At one point during the ''Legoland'' review, he did a common mistake of referring to the spider as an insect.
** In his "Peter Pancreas" review, he miscredits Creator/DingoPictures as the creator of both ''Peter Pan'' and ''Snow White and the Seven Clever Boys'', despite the fact that Phoenix Games only ported Dingo's library to the [=PS2=] and Dingo themselves fizzled out around the turn of the century. In actuality, Aqua Pacific was the developer of ''Seven Clever Boys'' and ''Peter Pan''. He corrects this in his review of Animal Soccer World, noting the differences in animation style between the two creators.
** In his review of the video game adaptation of the [[WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle2007 2007 animated series George of the Jungle]] on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, he mistakes the Dr. Scott for a chef, since said character is working on a cure for common cold in the game, it’s made even more jarring by the fact that Caddy mentions that it’s a job for a scientist rather than a chef, and even looked up [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_of_the_Jungle_(2007_TV_series) the series’ Wikipedia page]] which has list describing the show's main characters, but he only mentions that the show was made in [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]] and that the titular character had two different voice actors over the span of its two seasons.
** In his video on ''[[VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity Crash Twinsanity]]'' he gets upset over the game invoking the EvilTwin trope with Evil Crash, despite the fact that Evil Crash is ''not'' Crash's brother but instead an EvilCounterpart from the 10th Dimension. Apart from this being visible in the context of that point in the game's plot, the fact that Caddy even looked into the cut content of ''Twinsanity'' makes this more baffling as the morality-swapped versions of the main cast are some of the more well-known pieces of cut content from the game.
** Caddy's video on ''The Classic Nursery Rhymes Collection'' has him say that the ampersand isn't a letter, not realizing that it used to be considered one. Knowing that the intention behind ''The Classic Nursery Rhymes Collection'' was to preserve a lot of the historical elements of the nursery rhymes, this makes sense.
** In ''I Spent $115 on the WORST [=PS4=] Games Ever'', he correctly identifies Oddcast's [[SyntheticVoiceActor Text-to-Speech Daniel]] as one of the "voice actors" of ''The Unknown City - Episode 1'', but also couldn't tell another game, ''Spear of Destiny: The Kaiseki'', also makes use of Ivona's Brian, another Text-to-Speech voice, though in all fairness, it was filtered.
** A minor one shows up in ''I Watched 24 of the WORST [=YouTube=] Videos EVER'', where while watching a parody Monster Energy advert he made, Caddy mistakenly refers to the Awesome Face meme as an emoji - it's actually an image macro that originated as an emoticon long before the emoji protocol.
** One in the ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'' review when they claim that "the game forces you through the tutorial". This (slightly paraphrased) transcript of the leadup to the claim explains everything:
--->'''Game''': Would you like to play the tutorial?\\
'''Caddy''': No.\\
'''Game''': Are you sure?\\
'''Caddy''': No.
** A minor error occurs in ''The Demonic World of Disney [=PS1=] Games'' as Caddy talks about ''VideoGame/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatiansPuppiesToTheRescue''. He mistakenly refers to the father dog as Pongo, seemingly unaware that his name is actually Dipstick, one of Pongo's original puppies.

* CriticalBacklash:
** The inverse version. A ''Current Quickie'' video gave ''VideoGame/GoneHome'' an 8/10. Fans are not happy at all, as if they think that the "game" deserves severe trashing instead of praise. Some even decided to swear off Caddy's channel simply because of his opinion. Tread the comments section carefully...
** Prior to that, Caddy admitted to liking "interactive movie" games like ''VideoGame/HeavyRain''. The backlash isn't as noticeable as the above, but a few fans have called out Caddy for liking something that (debatably) shouldn't be considered a "game" to them.
** Watch [[VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime Day 3]] of Cadvent Calendar, then read the comments section. You'll be guaranteed to have a truckload of salt (or more) from the [[HypeBacklash viewers']] [[{{Sequelitis}} thoughts]] alone.
** His "My Top 10 Unpopular Gaming Opinions" video got a ''lot'' of it. Namely, he stated not liking ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'', thinking ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' isn't as good as everyone says it is, and admitting to liking around only 12% of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games and not liking any of the characters (besides Dr. Eggman).
** This goes back as early as the ''Fade to Black'' review. Comments show that most people actually like the game (with some even [[HePannedItNowHeSucks calling out on him for unfairly panning the game]]). Also helps that despite its flaws, it's one of the early 3D third-person adventure games. Doesn't help that most critics pan the game as well, landing this game's status more on CultClassic.
** An odd case with his ''VideoGame/ShadowMan'' review, as even fans of the game agreed that the [[PortingDisaster PS1 port was a mess]]. However, once the game showed up on the ''BADVENT CALENDAR'' and Caddy expressed no interest in playing the more polished versions, it rubbed them wrong way.
* CriticalResearchFailure:

** '''''ROSIE''''', Caddy's sister, who appeared frequently at times, who's maybe even ''more'' of a CloudCuckooLander [[UpToEleven than Caddy himself]]. [[WebVideo/ProfessorJuice Helps she has her own YouTube channel]]!

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: Reactions to the Christian satire made all throughout ''The Unholy World of Jesus Games'' from Caddy's Christian fans have been mainly positive, with them citing that Caddy has clearly [[ShownTheirWork Shown His Work]] in the topics present, and overall finding the lighthearted jabs made at their culture to be ActuallyPrettyFunny.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** He ends his review of the ''Crash Bandicoot'' cartoon by slaughtering it, the gag being that he shoots directly at his screen, therefore destroying his computer and remarking he now needs a new [=PC=]. In early 2021, building a new computer brought him a lot of problems that would culminate with him spending roughly $10,000 on faulty tech and cancelling an episode after accidentally deleting all gameplay footage of it.
** Caddy's praise about ''[[VideoGame/SilentHills P.T.]]'' becomes uncomfortable when Konami removed the game from the PS Store, which in turn later on led up to the cancellation of ''Silent Hills,'' but would eventually be rebirthed into ''VideoGame/DeathStranding''.
** The more positive-leaning review on ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled'' became less fun to watch now that {{Microtransactions}} have been added to the game. When Caddy found out about this, he was ''genuinely angry''. As an extension, the "Cash Banooca" RunningGag ended up being used as a joke that Creator/{{Activision}} took the "Cash" part seriously.

** While Caddy considering everything he made prior to December 2019 to be an {{Old Shame}} isn't anything controversial on its own, the way he [[BerserkButton acts about the videos]] on streams (particularly ''VideoGame/CrashBash'') whenever people mention how much they like them has some people worried that Caddy might be gatekeeping his ''own'' videos, while others just think that Caddy should be entitled to his opinion and leave it at that.
