History YMMV / OverlySarcasticProductions

** The quote from Red's video about the Prose Edda "Leave your Marvel-based assumptions by the door" became hilarious after Thor's design for ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'' was criticised by being compared to Thor from the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

** In Red's video on Dionysus, she offhandedly mentions Zagreus, a very minor Greek deity and son of Persephone and Hades or Zeus who was syncretized with Dionysus, who never really was in public consciousness. A good time later, an acclaimed game, ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'', starring Zagreus as the main and playable character, suddenly made him a notable figure, which can certainly cause some amusement on how quickly he's mentioned in the video.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: When the "Trope Talk: Post Apocalypses" video was released in Februar 2019, Red comments that "the pandemic apocalypse [...] on its own doesn't really get as much airplay these days". Before the year 2019 even ends, the world has been plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic which, as of 2022, hasn't ended yet and there's no sight of it ending soon.

** After kidnapping Helen and realizing that she it too young to get married, Theseus and his brother Pirithous decide that they will [[WifeHusbandry keep her until she is old enough for Theseus to sleep with]]. Fortunately, the two end up trapped in the underworld and Helen is rescued before this can happen.

** During the video on Orion she mentions how the idea that he was a lover of Athena was false; comments pointed out she said the same thing in an earlier video. This resulted in her making a pinned comment explaining her failure in research at the time of the earlier video.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Many of Red's song choices, both during video edits and her covers at the end of said videos. A standout example is the Halloween special on Creator/HPLovecraft, a sizable portion of which is dedicated to recapping ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'', with all the aquatic horror of it's fish people. The featured cover? "[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Under the Sea]]", a song from a movie portraying the majority of sea life as something friendly to man, with a beautiful mermaid to boot.

* {{Some Anvils Need To Be Dropped}}:
** In her Halloween special focusing on the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, Red is none too subtle about her distaste for Creator/HPLovecraft's stories, especially its racism. Along with the fact he ''was'' a major racist and it severely downgraded his work, it's also '''highly''' entertaining to watch Red lose her mind at how ridiculous his stories were.
** The Trope Talk episode on Grimdark drops some good anvils on the nature of hope, idealism and optimism, and why those things are not only good, actually, but also ''necessary''.
--->'''Red:''' Hope is the ultimate motivator. On some level, it's the ''only'' motivator. If it seems like I have personal beef with Grimdark as a genre, it's only the same beef I have with ''everything'' that treats hope like a dumb childish concept rather than the fundamental core of human experience. Hope makes us believe things can be better. Once we stop believing that, we ''stop trying'' to make things better--and guess what? Then things ''don't'' get better! Pessimisstic nihilism is the ultimate self-fulfilling prophecy, and maybe it's the 2020 talking but ''man'' I have straight-up run out of patience with people who give up on a better world and then have the ''audacity'' to tell other people that they're naive or stupid for still trying.

* SpiritualAdaptation: If someone were to make Wiki/ThisVeryWiki into a [=YouTube=] channel, it would look an awful lot like ''Trope Talk''- both are in-depth discussions of tropes, subtropes, archetypes and whatnot with plenty of wit. The site even gets referenced in some videos.

** Dionysus also got an uptick in popularity not just for this series, but for mythology in general after Red's extremely detailed deep dive into his history in the mythos. The deep dive format itself proved popular too, as she'd later do so for Aphrodite, Hermes and TheWildHunt as well.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In the story of "Medea", some find the titular character unsympathetic for choosing to kill her children (if [[TheScapegoat indirectly]]) [[DisproportionateRetribution just to get back at their father Jason]]. Yes he [[HateSink betrayed her devotion]] by cheating on her with Princess Glauce, and [[UngratefulBastard never appreciated her help]], but some would argue her getting her children wrangled into her revenge plan falls under WhatTheHellHero territory and outweighs anything Jason ever did to her.

** When Red has to draw particularly gory/ sexual scenes, she tends to just censor illustrations of the actions in question, sometimes adding "NOPE" for emphasis.
