History YMMV / TheOdd1sOut

* CrossesTheLineTwice: in his Bluey video, James does a clip in where his fursona and his nephew watch a fictional episode of WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}} in where Doris spanks Caillou after the former [[RageBreakingPoint uses her make-up on Rosie despite being told many times before not to]]. Corporal Punishment is a pretty sensitive subject nowadays, but one can help but laugh at the clip because of James' over-the-top angry female voice for Doris, the funny pain sounds and the fact that the character being spanked ''is [[TheScrappy Caillou]]''.

* HarsherInHindsight: A mild example but James goes on enthusiastically about how a Season 2 of Dark Crystal Age of Resistance needs to be green lit in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e_IT906_ak&t=208s&ab_channel=TheOdd1sOut The Netflix Series That Was Too Scary for Adult James.]] The next year it was announced that the show was cancelled.

** "Mother, I would be most grateful if you let me consume a pastry with high levels of sugar and simple carbohydrates."[[labelnote:Explanation]]This is from a video about his time at Subway, said with stoic eloquence by a young child wearing water wings. It's a combination of FromTheMouthsOfBabes and BrainyBaby that make it so funny -- the kid is just saying "Mom, I want a cookie" -- and it's still one of the more popular lines from all of his videos.[[/labelnote]]

** "Mother, I would be most grateful if you let me consume a pastry with high levels of sugar and simple carbohydrates."

* AbandonShipping: A video revealed that James has a girlfriend that is not [[WebAnimation/JaidenAnimations Jaiden]] and he even makes it pretty clear that they won't be a couple. The ship was further torpedoed into oblivion after Jaiden came out as aroace.

* GirlShowGhetto: Briefly discussed in his "Shows I Found Weird" video where he does admit regretting not watching ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' when it was on due to being kind of sexist as a kid, although [[SubvertedTrope he did watch]] ''Anime/SailorMoon''.
** It’s also revealed in a VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker video on his second channel that he was a fan of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' for a brief period of time. Also, this topic comes up in a now-unlisted livestream titled "Watch me work" on said second channel, and he mentions that it was a [[GuiltyPleasures guilty pleasure]] he had.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Sometimes, James might try to attempt to be "hip" and "cool" with his viewers (Alhough these are [[PlayedForLaughs used ironically]]). For example, he is shown dabbing in some of his videos (such as in "Wrong Numbers", "Movies I Thought Were Weird", "Proof That I Can Do Math" and "Peeing Yourself") and sometimes throws in some trends and memes most people are into nowadays (such as the Fidget Spinners or the Mocking [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants Spongebob]] meme).

** Dave later used that exact clip in his Behind the Scenes to "Life is Fun". Except that he edited it to make it look [[UpToEleven even more shippy, complete with cheesy romantic guitar music]].

** #[=BoycottChipotleBecauseTheyDidn’tHireJamesLike3YearsAgo=][[labelnote:Explanation]] In James’s [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ng_0dg4GbVQ “My Thoughts on Job Interviews”]] video he discusses an instance when he applied for a Chipotle restaurant, and was rejected because he had previously been rejected by a different Chipotle, a reasoning which he heavily criticizes. He proceeds to recite the above, intentionally wordy hashtag, which quickly took off with fans.[[/labelnote]]

** Although most characters in his videos aren't {{Gonk}}s, he has a tendency of drawing them with features attributed to Gonks, including {{drool|deluge}}, pronounced [[RiseOfZitboy acne]], and [[FanDisservice outie navels]].
** We get a gross close-up of James's bumps on his back in the end of [=TimTom=]'s Christmas Trivia Game video.

* FanPreferredCouple: James and Jaiden, much to his consternation.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: James, along with WebAnimation/JaidenAnimations and Anthony Padilla, all decided to compete in [=MrBeast's=] [=YouTuber=]-Only [[https://youtu.be/ZV7rU6lnAKQ Airsoft]] [[https://youtu.be/GEFPqEVlKEk Battle Royale]] just for the sake of it, without high hopes or anything at all, knowing the odds were stacked up against them. And not only did they not do horrible, [[spoiler:they managed to ''win the first round''.]]

** James also sometimes gets shipped with LetsPlay/CarlSagan42, whom he met at the Comic Con, and he jokingly admits that "senpais can have senpais".
** James is also shipped with Adam from WebAnimation/SomethingElseYT as they're close friends who some fans speculate live together, as most videos they make in a house show them together.

* PopularWithFurries: He sometimes makes videos about furry topics, even though he swears that he isn't one. He seemed to have embraced his furry following later on, and even has had a fursuit commissioned of his fursona, Chip, who appears in a few of his videos. He also occasionally posted on a certain [[https://www.reddit.com/r/furry_irl/ furry-themed forum]] on Website from his official account, although he has since deleted all such posts from his profile.
