- Awesomekid 42: I loved I Hate Everything's video on "I Hate Minions" but there's a part of the video that bugs me way more than it should. At one point of the video, he says "Usually, it's to be expected that the annoying side character who's used for nothing but comic relief is limited to some extent". While saying this, he shows several characters as examples. One of the characters he shown was Lisa Simpson. It gave the feeling that he never even watched the show given that she's arguably the third most focused-on member of the family, many episodes focusing on her relationship with her family or her insecurities providing far more than only comic relief. I admit that there are plenty of reasons to find Lisa annoying, and this is just a minor thing that bugged me, but it felt like he just slapped a character as an example without knowing anything about her.
- Dr Zulu 2010: I recently watched I Hate Everything and I like his videos. But his "I Hate Aquaman" video rubbed me the wrong way. Not because he didn't like Aquaman but, rather, because he fell to the same problem that many people have when they see Aquaman. Mainly that he's lame, can talk to fish and has a stupid costume. As someone who don't believe in the trope What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? and does as much research about Aquaman as I can, even as a non-fan, I can say that Aquaman can be quite badass if done right (see his comics stories or some of the times in the DCAU) whose only problem is that he never escaped the stigma that the subpar Super Friends cartoon gave him. I love you, man, but I have to side with Linkara on that subject.
- TT 454: His video "I Hate YouTube Drama" had an entire pointless section where he for no reason phones up some chatline and attempts to have a conversation, and it goes nowhere.
- Tropers/Galaxithea: A minor example, but it kind of bothers me how he made a video about disliking drama on YouTube and yet gives some of his videos dramatic clickbait titles such as "DADDY DEREK SAID WHAT??" and "YOUTUBE IS A JOKE! (YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS)" that wouldn't look out of place in a supermarket tabloid.
- Para Chomp: "Search for the Worst: Suicide Squad". I will not argue against negative criticism against Suicide Squad (2016), it's justified. What I will argue against is the constant questioning of the existence of various characters. One can see them as IHE pointing out them being unnecessary for the film but when he compared Killer Croc to Gorilla Grodd, you could tell that either wasn't the case or he's being too vague with the intentions of his words. There is nothing wrong with either of them as characters in terms of premise, same can be said about Captain Boomerang and Katana. All four of these characters have proven their worth in other pieces of media. There are so many characters who use trick weapons for combat and Katana was as relevant as ever due to Beware the Batman. One of the film's problems is it having many unnecessary characters, but these characters have been well written in other media and have relevance to the source material which is something IHE doesn't acknowledge. I do realize that I am an IDIOT trying to win such an argument. This is someone who doesn't care about the history of comics nor their characters, only wants a good movie, and uses Aquaman and Kite Man as their Butt-Monkey. Once again, the wound that the The Comics Code has left shows its ugly face, proving that even the Darker and Edgier adaptations can't hide it.
- FromtheWordsofBR: I liked his Search for the Worst review of the Fred Movie Trilogy and even thought the bit with his friend Ralphthemoviemaker was good. However, around 30 minutes in, after snarking about a video where Lucas says he doesn't remember filming the "Fred vs. The Annoying Orange" video, he then says that's the result of blackouts and trying to repress memories. Then the video pauses for Ralph to make a really long and unnecessarily uncomfortable child molestation joke. The squickiness of the joke is not what bothered me—the length of it was. It goes on for an entire minute and overall just isn't funny, not even in a Black Comedy sort of sense. What makes this especially jarring is that Ralph doesn't normally do this sort of thing in his own videos. Still a damn good video either way, but good lord.
- libertydude: For me, IHE’s review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi contained my DTOS. Initially, I thought the review had promise. Here was IHE, in a position of liking a film that had an extremely contentious reception, going against not only his own usual persona, but against a large portion of Star Wars fans. This had the opportunity to really examine a controversial movie in an intriguing and interesting way. However, by the halfway point, it became clear that IHE wasn’t interested in starting a dialogue, painting the critics of the movie as overly nitpicky and petty by using negative YouTube and Twitter comments. This was very manipulative, misrepresenting a good portion of the fans who had legitimate gripes with the film. There are literally dozens of videos and reviews with people making clear and concise arguments about why the film doesn’t work for them, but he practically ignores them and only lists his own vague reasons why the film was good (i.e. “the story was interesting” and “it looked wonderful”). He only gives a slight Handwave towards the end, saying that there is room for legitimate criticism, but it’s so quick and offhanded that it feels like it's just there as a half-hearted conciliatory gesture. But the moment the review completely falls apart is towards the end, where IHE self-reflects that he and other online Caustic Critics might be to blame for driving so many people to hate The Last Jedi through their negative personas. Had this been the balanced review I was expecting, this might’ve been a profound moment of self-reflection and a possibility for IHE to deconstruct his negative persona. Given the review that occurred, however, this was the moment I felt IHE jumped into pure hypocricy. Here is IHE, who’s spent years on the Internet tearing things apart and mocking those who grew angered about his criticisms (like Derek Savage). But the second a movie he likes gets trashed by a large group of people, suddenly such criticism is unfounded and overly negative to the point that he has to attack the critics to justify his enjoyment of the film. Instead of a Heel Realization about how his negativity might've had unintended consequences, it feels more like IHE got a taste of his own medicine and was unable to deal with the cognitive dissonance created by his normal critical attitude being applied to something he liked. That was the point the inadequacies of IHE as a reviewer were shown to me, and it’s definitely convinced me not to look at anymore of his videos in the near future.
- cheedo: Even though I'm a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan, I wanted to watch his "Trying to Watch... My Little Pony" video anyway, because generally I like hearing his views even if I don't agree because he's usually good at remaining objective and is articulate. But this, no. Perhaps it's due to some surgery he had just gone through but his video was nothing more than what most typical ~edgy reactors do: cuss, groan, complain and whine about how stupid and embarrassing the show is without ever explaining why. He seemed like he was determined to hate it before even watching and in a rather OOC moment, refused to actually point out what the show was doing so badly. Chalking it up to "OMG everyone has a high voice!" isn't really a deep reason for hating and dismissing an entire franchise and looked like pandering to the hatedom. At a glance, IHE can look like some anti-popularity hipster but until I watched this video, I never thought he actually was.
- Butter: His video on Super Minecraft Kid. He does not realize that SMK was a Troll, basically going "maybe, maybe not" on whether he is one, even though it's obvious he undoubtedly was one from his videos. He also made the video as a response to SMK criticising his video on Minecraft, without the thought ever occuring to him that SMK mentioned IHE specifically so he would make a video on him, giving him attention and subscribers. At the end of the video, there is a post-production segment in which IHE mentions that he now knows SMK admitted to being a troll, yet despite him knowing the subject of his video is a confirmed troll, he, seemingly never having heard the phrase "Don't feed the trolls", decided to upload it anyway. As a result of IHE uploading the video anyway, he gave SMK who he disliked a massive Colbert Bump, All According to Plan. IHE is just being very unsavvy in that video, getting easily tricked and showing a general lack of common sense.
