23
24* ACappella: [[https://youtu.be/-fBhfQwGnO8?t=1m25s Part 3 of the Mega Man 6 playthrough]] involves an acapella AffectionateParody of Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime".
25* BaitAndSwitchComment: Him taking damage at the end of [[https://youtu.be/7oJpEw9_qNg?t=9m20s Junk Man's stage in Mega Man 7.]]
26--> '''Nathaniel:''' ''You may have noticed that Mega Man can now switch instantly back and forth between (takes a hit) being at [[CaptainObvious full health and not being at full health.]]
27* DifficultButAwesome: Nathaniel considers [[Videogame/MegaMan3 Top Spin]] this.
28* EpicFail: AvertedTrope for the most part, except for "Nathaniel Hoover's Top 10 Eliminations of the Day" in one of his [[https://youtu.be/GCDL-6jflGg?t=7m40s Mega Man 5 bonus videos.]] And many of his failed "showoffery" attempts as mentioned in [[https://youtu.be/CSKBsZtU4mM?t=50s this video.]]
29* FunWithAcronyms: '''B'''arely '''E'''ven '''A'''dequate '''T'''eammate.
30* InnocentlyInsensitive: Downplayed with the "Oh Can-you're-done" joke he made in Videogame/MegaMan6.
31* ShoutOut: Many of these occur.
32** The title of most of his videos are shoutouts alone. For example: RockPaperScissors, [[Film/PlanesTrainsAndAutomobiles Pertains to Trains and Watermobiles]], [[Film/WhatsUpDoc What's Up Doc Robot?]], Go West Young Mega Man, and so on.
33** The song number in part 3 of Mega Man 6 is one to Music/TalkingHeads.
34* SoundingItOut: Almost any time text shows up on screen, Nathaniel will inevitably do this.
35* VisibleSilence: Parodied any time it shows up, but it's more blatant when he's playing the intro of VideoGame/MegaMan7.
