History YMMV / OverlySarcasticProductions

* JustHereForGodzilla: A good chunk of the fanbase are only interested in Red's videos. With them having little to no interest in Blue's history videos.

* SpiritualSuccessor If someone were to make Website/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, and many videos are straight up titled after trope names, like "CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass" and "PlanetOfHats".

* HarsherInHindsight: When the "Trope Talk: Post Apocalypses" video was released in February 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.

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: In their Detail Diatribe on Superman Satires, Red cited Homelander from ''Series/TheBoys2019'' as an example [[ShallowParody for satires of Superman that didn't work]]. This alone wouldn't have been much of a sticking point, except for the fact that not only did Red state she [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch didn't even watch the show or read the comic]], but she cited [[Comicbook/{{Irredeemable}} the Plutonian]] as an example of the concept done well, who many fans of The Boys consider to be very similar to Homelander in the show. This caused many fans of both OSP and The Boys to criticise the video by accusing Red's take on it to be riddled with CriticalResearchFailure. [[DearNegativeReader Her doubling down on the video]] [[https://twitter.com/OSPyoutube/status/1545625028531822593 on Twitter]] did not help matters.[[note]]Though, in a later podcast and on their twitter, both Red and Blue eventually apologized for misrepresenting the show that they did not watch.[[/note]]

* 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 its 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.

** 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, that very same ''Hades'' game--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. What's more, in-game he's probably responsible for Orpheus's cult conflating himself and Dionysus, given all the prank origin stories he gives the poor man.
** The quote from Red's video about the Poetic 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.

'''Galehaut: DEAL.'''

** Although subtext, and likely a consequence of Tripitaka being a DistressedDude, but the monk can often be found [[BridalCarry being carried]] by a smug looking Monkey at the end of every episode.

** The conception of Aphrodite, which involved her emerging fully-formed from the severed testicles of Ouranos. Red describes her as spending the next few millennia showering with a thousand-yard stare.

** Blue's fiancée has been given the nickname "Cyan" by fans, thanks to her appearance as the camera person in Blue's Iceland trip vlog.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The ''Satirizing Superman'' Detail Diatribe received some backlash over Red and Blue citing [[Series/TheBoys2019 Homelander]] as a bad, shallow satirization of Superman, especially since they didn't watch or read the source material. The sequel Detail Diatribe ''Superman: Collateral Damage'' has Blue say "Let's try this again", watch some episodes of ''The Boys'' (to his discomfort), and discuss Homelander as a Superman satire that cares as much about his image and reputation as regular Superman does about actually saving lives, and will do anything, [[LeaveNoSurvivors even let a plane full of innocents crash]], than let any news of his screwups get out.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Red claims that there isn't a lot to say about Gawain. Sir Gawain is probably the most common central or secondary character in all of Arthurian tales, and has been portrayed as everything from an ideal knight, selfless, self-deprecating, and bold; to a rage-filled and jaded warrior obsessed with battle. She also seems to have missed the point of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, claiming that Gawain spends most of his time not quite living up to anything - but the entire point of that story is that no matter how honorable and devoted you are, you ''[[MistakesAreNotTheEndOfTheWorld can't]]'' be perfect! He's failing at an impossible ideal and respected for trying, albeit by Bertilak and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure King Arthur]], [[MyGreatestFailure not himself]].

* DanBrowned:
** Regrettably, the channel has fallen victim to this. Their video on "Rainbow Crow" states that it's a Lenape folk story, but it wasn't until a couple of months had passed that Red learned that [[https://nanticokelenapemuseum.org/learning-center/curriculum-guidelines/1347/non-historical-stories-and-prophesies-fiction-and-fairy-tales/ it isn't even a real folk story]], let alone one from the Lenape people. She acknowledged this publicly and apologized for spreading misinformation, along with changing the description, title, and pinned comment.
** While not as egregious, Red points out her own mistake by saying that she referred to Loki as a fire deity. Loki may have some connections to fire but he isn't a god of fire.
** Though it's mostly for comedic effect, Red mentions Creator/JRRTolkien's crippling arachnophobia for a joke. Tolkien was pretty insistent that he did not have arachnophobia, but his son did, and he wrote his stories mostly for his children.
** During the video on Orion she mentions how the idea that he was a lover of Artemis 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.

* ArtEvolution: While Red's artwork was never something to sneeze at, she's greatly improved over the years. Compare [[https://imgur.com/PtRnYgR this screenshot of two gods fighting]], from 2016, and [[https://imgur.com/DLDhoc6 a similar screenshot]], from 2020; or, to be more specific, note the difference between [[https://imgur.com/1GSpnuk Hades in 2016]] and [[https://imgur.com/gK5gyBj Hades in 2021]]. Damn.
