History YMMV / SchaffrillasProductions

** If Schaffrillas Productions Ranked [blank].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some people have began making videos ostensibly "predicting" future Schaffrillas ranking videos by recreating the transition slides used in his ranking videos (but with a picture of the subject added for clarity). The ''actual'' point of this is to replicate the FiveSecondForeshadowing jokes used in the slides (comparable to "[blank] portrayed by WesternAnimatio/{{SpongeBob|SquarePants}}" or "[blank] described by Creator/MichaelRosen" videos, but with varied audio clips).[[/labelnote]]

** Why X is a Cinematic Disaster/Subversive Masterpiece [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever fans of Schaffrillas talk about a work, especially an animated movie, that is either widely disliked or unexpectedly beloved, someone will often refer to it in style of a Schaffrillas video title, most commonly calling it either "a Cinematic Disaster" like the many videos he has already made with that title, or "a Subversive Masterpiece" like the title of his video about ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}''.[[/labelnote]]
** "We're going back in time to the first Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A RunningGag in his video about ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds''. He'd say the line in full any chance he gets to refer to the film. The video and gag ended up providing the movie with more exposure along with plenty of memes related to the line.[[/labelnote]]
** "That was his mistake!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' spoken by Professor Callaghan when [[spoiler:Hiro calls him out on letting Tadashi pull a SenselessSacrifice]]. The line is turned into a RunningGag in Schaffrillas' "Why Disney's Twist Villains Don't Work" video and called back to in later videos, and many of his viewers meme about it as well, to the point that it's now one of the movie's most famous lines.[[/labelnote]]
** "You tell Arthur Read that he'll never eat lunch in this town again." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A RunningGag from his YTP days of using a clip from Creator/MattDamon's guest appearance on ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Holy shit X that's a helicopter!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the "Every Disney Direct-to-DVD Sequel Ranked" video where an in-joke meme shared between James and his editor.[[/labelnote]]
** If Schaffrillas Productions Ranked _blank_. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Some people have began making their own Schaffrillas style ranking videos with movies and other miscellaneous media James hasn't covered. People who make these videos especially go wild with the jingles foreshadowing each ranking before they are revealed.[[/labelnote]]
** SHOOT THEM WITH THE DEHYDRATION GUN! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Courtesy of his critical review of ''WesternAnimation/MegamindVsTheDoomSyndicate'', Schaffrillas' anger at Megamind not [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim just shooting the Doom Syndicate]] [[ForgotAboutHisPowers with the Dehydration Gun]] has been making the rounds on Twitter, becoming comparable to [[Memes/SpongeBobSquarePants the "Squidward's House"]] or [[Memes/TheNostalgiaCritic the "Bat Credit Card"]] rant, with many people turning it into a copypasta towards other incidents of WhyDontYouJustShootHim or ForgotAboutHisPowers.

* ReviewsAreTheGospel: Like with many other reviewers, a lot of his fans treat his opinions as facts and view them as final and the "correct" ones. Ironically, James himself is opposed to this mentality, as he has repeatedly implored his viewers not to mindlessly parrot his opinions and [[SelfDeprecation wondered why anyone would treat his views on works as Gospel]]. Some notable examples include:

Some notable examples include:

** ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' was, for quite some time, viewed as a thoroughly SoOkayItsAverage film responsible for [[FranchiseKiller sending the franchise back to the swamp]], with the best thing most people could say about it being that it was better than ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'' ([[DamnedByFaintPraise a low bar to clear]]). Then Schaff reviewed it and had almost nothing but good things to say about it, viewing it as an emotionally satisfying capper to the series that expands on themes introduced in the first two movies in a way that ''Third'' largely did not. Public opinion warmed up to ''Forever After'' not long after, and it's viewed as, if not on the level of the first two ''Shrek'' movies, then at least enjoyable in its own right.

** His comedic plea in his Pixar Ranking video for Pixar to not make anymore Toy Story movies in the end of his entry about Toy Story 4, considering a Toy Story 5 would later be annoucend to be in the making.

** Ironically, James himself is opposed to this mentality, as shown in [[https://twitter.com/Schaffrillas/status/1300850369271074817 this]] tweet that he made shortly after reviewing ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieCandaceAgainstTheUniverse'':
--->''"So Schaff liked the Phineas and Ferb movie, but this other reviewer hated it, who am I supposed to believe?"\\
Oh my God just form your own opinions.''

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Schaffrillas could be mistaken as a channel aimed at kids [[AnimationAgeGhetto due to his most popular reviews covering family-friendly animated works]]. However, James frequently swears in his videos ([[SoundEffectBleep although he censors f-bombs with]] [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants dolphin noises]]), makes sex references, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and talks about topics that children don't understand]].

** At the end of his Illumination ranking, James briefly makes a joke about ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' being "the end", before clarifying that he'd not dying. Kind of bad timing for the joke, considering that merely 2 months later, he'd get into a severe car crash that nearly killed him on top of killing his best friend and his brother.

* BizarroEpisode: His 2024 April Fools video, The Tony Soprano Iceberg [[note]](WARNING: loud noise, scary!) o_O[[/note]] is one, even compared to his other April Fools videos. It starts out as a parody of iceberg videos, specifically riffing on Schaff's running Tony Soprano gag in the Mario Kart rankings, but as time goes on the facts get more and more disturbing. By the end, Schaff is claiming that Tony Soprano was meant to be in the [[Literature/TheBible Book of Revelations]], is the avatar of death set to bring about the end of humanity[[note]]November 15th, 2037[[/note]], and that he himself has been cursed by God to relay this forbidden information to the audience. The video ends with Schaff confirming everything in the video was made up- except [[RealAfterAll Tony Soprano really is the avatar of death.]]

** At the end of his Illumination ranking, James briefly makes a joke about the Mario Move being "the end", before clarifying that he's not dying. Kind of bad timing for the joke, considering that merely 2 months later, he'd get into a severe car crash that very well could have killed him.
