* MemeticMutation: Pommels. Skall's made a video about a bizarre fighting technique; unscrewing the pommel of your sword and throwing it at the opponent "to end him rightly". Almost every video Skall puts out will comment on why pommels are better as a result. It even appears in the comments on other sword-related channels, like WebVideo/{{{Lindybeige}. This even bleeds into games like ''Mordhau'' and ''For Honor'', which include the technique.

These video games are only relevant if Skallagrim has actually reacted to it. Since he did, rewriting the entire example since 'bad indentation'.

Meanwhile, the ''Song of Swords'' tabletop RPG features this technique as a variant of throwing a weapon in melee.

* MST3KMantra: Discussed and defied. Skall often notes that he gets this a lot from viewers when he analyzes weapons in media. In his video 'Common reasons why a fantasy sword wouldn't work in real life', he even comments that while it's fun to just have weapons that aren't meant to be realistic or practical, it's also fun to deliberately overanalyze said weapons anyway.

* MemeticBadass: Swordsmen who practice the technique of "ending him rightly", as seen below. Whenever Skall compares the relative effectiveness of any two weapons, techniques, strategies, or soldiers, someone in the comments will point out that the "correct" decision was obviously throwing your pommel.

* FunnyMoments: Though the topic matter is serious and the majority of the video follows that tone, the opening to Skall's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69GT4I28RIQ fat rant]] is amazing. As it turns out, the man is passionate about his [[BerserkButton berserk buttons]].

-->'''Skall:''' Yes, this is a rant. You have been warned. If you, despite having clicked on the ''obvious title'', and despite the warning in the beginning, still watch it and then complain afterwards that you don't like this type of video, I will teleport right into your home, grab you by the collar, and ''[[CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon drown you in your own toilet]]''.
