History YMMV / JoueurDuGrenier

* {{Misblamed}}: In "Wii Games for Girls", some viewers felt Laëtitia Neveux's acting (cast as a GenderBentAlternateUniverse version of Fred) was off. In the behind-the-scene comment of the episode, Fred addressed the controversy by pointing out he painstakingly controlled and approved the tone, pitch, and pacing of each of her lines, to make sure she exactly sounds like the [=JdG=] if he were a woman. Due to this constant supervision, Fred explicitely tells that if she's actually acting bad, it means that ''his'' acting and instructions are bad.

** The ''Zelda''-themed ''Papy Grenier'' received a lot of criticisms from fans since instead of old Papy Grenier telling a story, it is a fake news report broadcasted on television. Fred said that he wanted to try something different since the ''Zelda'' games have already been parodied to death.

** In the earlier videos, [=JdG=] had the running gag of wanting recent video game consoles at the time, namely the UsefulNotes/Xbox360, UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. In the second part of the 11 Years Special episode, he reviews his first game from UsefulNotes/TheSeventhGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames as a retro one: ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', even [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] that the Xbox 360 was already 15 years old.

** ''Jeu à patounes'' (patounes' game).[[note]]Game where the goal is to follow a path made with collectible items. Named after a joke in the review of ''The Lion King: Simba's Mighty Adventure'', where Fred uses the word "patounes" (an informal word meaning "little paw") to refer to the lion's footprints you have to collect.[[/note]]

* CommonKnowledge: Plenty of viewers believe that Sorina is Japanese because she played the role of several Asian characters in some episodes, and her most memorable roles are Japanese women. In reality, Sorina is French with Cambodian origins.

** Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet is a bald eagle.[[note]]''Comics #1'' features a joke where the Eagle of Night (a bald eagle-themed superhero) tells Canardman to not confuse the bald eagle, the golden eagle, and French former politician [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathalie_Kosciusko-Morizet Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet]] (a variant of the same joke reappears in one of the video's interactive endings). This has resulted in a meme in the fanbase where photographs of bald eagles are introduced as featuring Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, though this actually is CommonKnowledge regarding the original joke.[[/note]]

* AccidentalInnuendo: In the behind-the-scene live for the Phoenix Games video, Fred comments during the Disney princess cosplayers' camo shot that technical tools needed to shoot their videos appeared onscreen[[note]]Which was difficult to avoid due to the set's size and camera angle, but was kept because it made sense in-universe[[/note]]. One of the sentences he used to describe the situation was "''on voit la gueuse''", literally "the ballast can be seen" (referring to a heavy object which serves to stabilize cameras or projectors lights). However, this is obscure technical terminology and "''gueuse''" has a very different meaning in common French, making him sounds like he said "the wench can be seen" to comment a scene featuring four women onscreen, one of them (a cosplay of Ariel as a mermaid) being ''very'' scantily dressed.
