History YMMV / TheQuarterGuy

* AcceptableTargets:
** Anyone who didn't like ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment Castlevania: Judgment]]''...or at least people who can't stand the fact that he likes this game.
** {{Troll}}s are also these. Unless they're named [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Hades]].
** Anyone who lands into his Hated Characters list automatically qualifies. Or even has the potential of it (usually by being an obnoxious dick, does a malignant KickTheDog or a MoralEventHorizon crossing or an annoying boss fight, such as [[VideoGame/Borderlands2 Handsome Jack]] or [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shao Kahn]]). These guys are pretty much [[RunningGag targets for Dio to drop a road roller at.]]

** In his original Top Ten Least Favorite Robot Masters list, during the [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Plant Man]] segment, Quarter Guy makes the statement that the only scary flowers are in [[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar Mario games]] and [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors sci-fi horror flicks]]. Little did he know a certain [[Characters/UndertaleFlowey best friend/nightmare]] would go on to prove him dreadfully wrong two years later.

* CriticalResearchFailure:
** The Number 1 Segment of his Top 15 Worst Mavericks list has him criticizing [[VideoGame/MegaManX7 Flame Hyenard's]] design as looking like he is in pain, neglecting to point out that [[AccidentallyCorrectWriting Hyenard himself confirms this]] in the dialog right before his boss fight.
** In his Top Ten Worst Video Game Trailers list, he mentions how the trailer for his Number 2 entry, Solbrain: Knight of Darkness, was so bad that not even UsefulNotes/PlayStation’s Website/YouTube channel [[EveryoneHasStandards would accept the trailer on it]], which would have been quite a shock considering quite a few trailers on his list were from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation channel. However, as his friend [=BlackMageMavvy=] pointed out in the comments, the trailer in question was in fact featured on the [=PlayStation=] channel, and was actually how most people were introduced to it in the first place.

* SpiritualSuccessor: His "Q at the Arcade" reviews are this to his earlier "The Q Review" series, but focus on arcade games rather than console games.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In his Top Ten Worst Video Game Trailers list, he mentions how the trailer for his Number 2 entry, Solbrain: Knight of Darkness, was so bad that not even UsefulNotes/PlayStation’s Website/YouTube channel [[EveryoneHasStandards would accept the trailer on it]], which would have been quite a shock considering quite a few trailers on his list were from the UsefulNotes/PlayStation channel.

However, as his friend [=BlackMageMavvy=] pointed out in the comments, the trailer in question was in fact featured on the [=PlayStation=] channel, and was actually how most people were introduced to it in the first place.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: As far as his gags go, "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Countdowns on Motorcycles]]" was this. He didn't expect the joke to go over as well as it did.

** Arguably, the videos that he's made to fight SOPA, PIPA, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership count. It's pretty heartwarming to see just how much he loves the freedom he has as a content creator.

* HilariousInHindsight: In his Super Smash Bros entry on Speedster's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cEaYRNThFE Top 10 Favorite Franchises]] countdown, he states that a character that he wouldn't want to see appear in the next Super Smash Bros game is [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife.]] Cut to over three years later where Cloud has been announced as a DLC fighter for [=Sm4sh=]. QG surprisingly [[SincerityMode takes it well enough]].

* HypeAversion: Averted ''spectacularly'' with Top 15 Worst Mavericks. The list was hyped up for ''two years'' due to constant delays on the part of Fawful's Minion (who was slated to do the list with QG as a collab) and fans pestered both creators about the absence of the video. You would think that hype as prolonged as that would result in a letdown, but it turned out to be his best-done video by a long shot.
* NeutralGood: His designated alignment according to the Chaos Theatre Wikia, and it shows in his countdowns. Adam is an all around upstanding guy who will fight for the weak, and those who protects the weak and the world, or being a good person all around, get his admiration. Conversely, he ''hates'' oppressive, unrepetantly jerkass and evil characters that does mean things to good/innocent people, and will mainly cite their KickTheDog or MoralEventHorizon acts as reasons that he hates the character. There are also some exceptions if the character rubs him the wrong way, so the Neutral part stands, he can follow or bend the 'rules'.

** Anyone who lands into his Hated Characters list automatically qualifies. Or even has the potential of it (usually by being an obnoxious dick, does a malignant KickTheDog or a MoralEventHorizon crossing or an annoying boss fight, such as [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}} Handsome Jack]] or [[Franchise/MortalKombat Shao Kahn]]). These guys are pretty much [[RunningGag targets for Dio to drop a road roller at.]]

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:

* EnsembleDarkhorse: As far as his gags go, "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Countdowns on Motorcycles]]" was this. He didn't expect the joke to go over as well as it did.
* GrowingTheBeard: Top Ten Comebacks is where he really took off.

* TearJerker: His Memories of Mom video. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlCIZ2LJxx0&t=316s Just watch]].

* NeverLiveItDown: An incident where he left a livestream while being the host of it to get chipotle, and insanity ensued, and has been known as the Chipotle Guy by his friends since. You can view the original amazing moment, slightly edited here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8gprXWqX2c and an animation of the moment by [=TJSutanian=] can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqspb8NSj5k&feature=youtu.be
