* InternetBackdraft: Hoo boy. ''Smosh Summer Games: Wild West'' was hit with this '''hard''' in the finale. This summer games was probably Joven's best performance, and he had consistently proven to not only be a good team player, but possibly the best one on his team (especially after he ''single-handedly'' won a difficult game for his team), causing the fans to root for him on his epic moments and voting for him to be the MVP. But come the finale, not only does he not win an award for Epic Moment or MVP... but he wins the award for Epic Fail due to something that wasn't even his fault. And this has made a lot of fans very angry in the youtube comment section, especially those who are sick of Joven always being the ButtMonkey.

** A lot of fans are pretty divided on Sohinki. One camp likes him for his DeadpanSnarker tendencies, plus his SoreLoser and [[StopHavingFunGuys try-hard attitude]] which many find amusing. The other camp sees him as an InsufferableGenius who tends to blame everything on others when they screw-up, particularly [[ButtMonkey Jovenshire]].

* TheScrappy: Only after 4 episodes, SGA Spotlight has managed to be one. This is mostly due to bad videos being showcased and them being made fun of.
* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: However it had gotten better, since they were choosing to pick good videos and compliment them.(However, as the crew said when they were starting SGA Spotlight the worst and best videos sent in will be shown, and asked the fans to please not be offended if the video is made fun of, so it is justified.) The show was later cancelled and then turned in a separate channel.



* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: One of the biggest complaints from subscribers is that the channel deletes shows and start new shows for a few months then they delete it as well.



** Joven ends up as this most of the time, but he seems to lean more towards being (and at this point, pretty much is) an IronWoobie.
