Minecraft

  • The whole end of Skylands Episode 7, when the boys are blowing up the Rustic Sky dungeon and are pretending that they're corresponding via very scratchy-sounding walkie talkies, is just comedy gold.
    "Abort, abort, kkkrrrrch there's a baby on the redstone, kkrch I repeat, a f*cking baby."
    "Kkkkrrch there are cows everywhere! Kkrch-chh"
    "Don't do it, my baby's in there! Kkrch"
    "F*ck it, I'm sorry sir, your baby's gonna die kkkrch over."
    "There's a pig on there! Kkkrch"
    • And later:
    "Kkrch it's ready to go, kkkrch. Wait are there any babies down there?"
    "Plenty of babies, kkkrch. This place is loaded with babies, kkkrch."
    "I do not authorize this pkkrrch"
  • In the outtakes of Filfy Animals: Fowl Play, Simon Lane screams an extremely over the top manner after Geoff's attack.
  • Episode 5 of their second XBLA Minecraft playthrough: Ross accidentally sets their house on fire with a bucket of lava, and traps them all inside as they constantly respawn. You probably saw it coming too.
  • The end of From Ashes. Trott starts in the army base with no one in sight. He looks for the others outside and sees them on top of a mountain in the distance. Ross and Alsmiffy enter and pilot a helicopter over the island that killed the trio so much. They blow the entire island up. With Trott still on it.
  • In The Walls 3: Aztec, the trio decide to build a tower to provide themselves a sniping position, and extend it outwards while they wait. While this does ensure their victory, from the perspective of the other groups, they're unknowingly building a giant penis in the sky, much to their amusement.
  • Smiffy discovered a certain something in episode #68 of Feed the Beast. After looking through the item list for "nuclear" related stuff, he found the recipe for a nuke. He immediately starts trying to assemble it... While lying through his teeth to the others who started asking what all this stuff he's asking for is about. The issue here is that whoever was handling the video editing noticed that Smiffy found the nuke schematic, and zoomed on his screen while playing foreboding music.
  • In their Feed The Beast playthrough, Smiffy manages to kill Trott's beloved demon-ostrich, Eric, prompting Trott to call for a montage sequence to mourn its passing (like what was done the previous time Smiffy killed one of his pets in-game). Cue a full music video parody of "Want You Back (For Good)" about the ostrich and Smiffy's joy at finally killing him.
  • In episode #41 of Skyblock with Sips, Ross uses the new mob grinder for items and XP, and accidentally kills Trott as he walks past. Sips begins to ridicule Ross for his traitorous and reckless actions, only to accidentally kill Alsmiffy with an arrow immediately afterwards.
  • The Hat Corp series delivers a good one when the Sirs put Ross, who is a bit of a klutz when it comes to heights and lava, on the job of putting their company's huge sign up high in the air and filling a drum full of lava with a bucket. Ross keeps falling off of the sign while hilariously screaming, and his efforts to put a bit of lava in the drum see him set on fire numerous times. The crowning moment of death by fire is Episode 13, where after messing up and putting the lava on the drum instead of in it cause him to die. Upon respawning, he begins to shake angrily and shouts a couple of choice curse words.
  • HatCorp, episode 28. Ross, in an attempt to make paper from trees, ends up making every kind of sawmill available in the Yogscast Complete Pack.
  • In HatCorp Episode 41, alsmiffy begins full testing of their ICBM system. He does remember to close the silo door between launches. Turning off the launch signal so that the missile he loads doesn't immediately launch upwards into the (closed) silo door, however...
  • The ending of their war with Duncan Jones and Kim Richards in the final episode of Hat Corp. They unveil a new and better base which looks spectacular... only for the defence turrets to kill Smiffy since Trott forgot to whitelist the others.
  • Both their performances in "Lucky Walls" count. The first instance has their usual strategy fail horribly when they get cornered by the better-armed, Kim, Duncan and Hannah. The second time? They load up with good gear, camp in a base and wait until only InTheLittleWood is left and wounded, after he's taken out Duncan and Hannah by himself. Then they rush him and toy with him until they beat him to death.

Trials

  • Trials Episode 55: The game has glitched out to the point where Alsmiffy and Ross can only crawl around on the map while Trott bikes through the course. They decide to just let Trott play through the course anyway, and we get this quote from Ross while Trott admires the course, "I'm glad you're having a good time. I'm dead on the floor, writhing around, trying to reach a tree checkpoint, Trott."
    • A few minutes after that quote, Trott manages to finish the match, while Ross laments "I didn't make it to the rock that I wanted to reach."

Grand Theft Auto V (does not include Stunt Lads)

  • Their first encounter with a shark in GTA V goes about how you would expect.
  • "Mil-Truck Massacre" is a course in GTA that Ross designs, when the objective is to steal an army truck and drive it back, dodging three-star securitynote  on the way. The premise initially sounds simple, but it turns out that the cops have such high respawn rates that nobody can get very far without being riddled with bullets. The crew gradually get more frustrated as Ross realises that he's not really thought this through, forcing them to ally in a desperate home to finish it. They all fail.
  • During "Swamp Monster", Smith makes a few digs at the expense of Nigel Farage and the United Kingdom Independence Party, which leads to this gem in the comments:
    Commentator: Can't wait for the Daily Express article tomorrow. "ALEX SMITH PAID BY BRUSSELS TO SPREAD PROPAGANDA VIA POPULAR YOUTUBE CHANNEL"
    Smith: "Sicko may also have Diana in his shed".
  • The trio try out the adversary mode "Slasher" in the appropriately titled "#Slashed". Most of the video is genuinely terrifying... until the trio find out that the hunted can use the torches as melee weapons and make the whole thing laughably easy. By the time of the next video, "SLASHTASTIC", the tables and turned and nine times out of ten the round ends with a hilariously-one sided beatdown for the slasher.

Stunt Lads

  • The first video gives us these gems:
    • Trott announces that they have a "budget" for the pilot. It turns out to be £50.
    • Despite supposedly being sponsored by "Crazy Pills", Smith angrily shouts at their beleaguered crew member Dave to stop taking drugs.
    • Their primary stunt plan is to drive dirt bikes off a dumpster on top of a roof, while on fire. Smith's subsequent jump is accompanied by slow-motion, slowed-down screams that are intermittently drowned out, and soft classical music.
    • After Smith has driven his bike off the roof, the police show up and start shooting at them, supposedly for trespassing. This results in a bike exploding and Smith catching on fire, followed by a notice about Technical Difficulties. When the screen returns to "normal", Ross is punching the pool owner and Smith (by accident in the latter case), telling the former to fuck off.
    • Smith steals a fire truck, sings a weird rendition of Scorpions' "Rock You Like a Hurricane", gets the truck stuck between two pillars and then drives it into the pool, supposedly as a "stunt". One of the fire crew walks past, and thanks to the AI just glances at the pool in disbelief.
    • Ross driving into a pool while on fire? Amusing. Ross screaming in apparent agony, while doing backflips to cheesy rock music and grainy video quality? Hilarious.
    • Ross steals another fire truck, causing the police to come back again, seemingly shooting one of the cameramen as a camera drops to the floor. His attempts to hold off the police amount to squirting the water cannon, and Trott using the discredited logic below:
    Trott: It's just a YouTube channel! It's just a prank!
    • While Ross is busy with the police, Smith and Trott decide to do the last stunt, shouting that the police "can't stop the stunt". When trying to set Trott's bike on fire, Smith sets himself on fire as well, causing them both to scream as Trott hits the pool, beautiful piano music in the background.
    • The trio ride off in the distance, with Smith screaming "fuck the establishment" and "lads for life". The video then ends as Trott tries to end the episode, screaming that they need a better budget as the police chase them again.

Garry's Mod

  • Any time that they play Garry's Mod with Sips and/or the rest of the Yogscast.
    Ross: (when he's about to kill someone, shouting manically) EAT SHIT! EAT SHIT! YOU'RE HUNGRY! EAT SHIT!
  • IT'S NOT ME!!! IT'S NOT!!! Now with fanart.
  • During "Borderline RDM", Ross' usual catchphrase for Murder! suffers from a wee bit of Angrish.
  • In "Drama Episode: The Breakup" Lydia and Bouphe are "broken up" because Google Assisstant can't remember who Bouphe's girlfriend is, and Lydia said "Google broke up with you for me!" In the next round, they subvert the Cat Fight trope by using it to manipulate Zylus, and then gun him down when he thinks they're about to fight (they were both traitors, he thought one of them was innocent and Lydia fooled him into thinking Trott was a traitor, so he decided to get them to fight so he could gun down the remaining traitor if they won), and immediately "get together again". The fake cat fight also counts as an awesome moment.

Livestreams

  • During their first livestream on the Dwarven Dairy Drive, they decide to play GTA, going through some mishaps. What sells the video is when Sparkles* gives the Sirs auto-tune, prompting them to promptly abuse it.
  • As part of their second Jingle Jam stream, the creators of Dying Light let the trio stream a bit of the game. After the initial analysis of the game and their first impression, Smith and Trott end up singing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", while Ross angrily tries beating zombies away with an iron pipe and screaming for them to die.
  • Their interruption of InTheLittleWood, Sparkles* and Strippin's stream, culminating in them waving a fake penis around, only for Sparkles* to open his mouth.
  • The entirety of their "Musical Jam", in which the trio decide to make an album over the course of one stream. They get progressively tipsier as the night goes on, resulting in the album getting even weirder and Ross having a My God, What Have I Done? moment. The result was "Pleasureville - Population: You," and it's weirdly hilarious in a way that only the Hats can pull off.
    • They did it again in 2016, which gave us "Destination: Drumpf." It's just as bizarre as it's predecessor.
  • For the 2015 Yogscast Christmas livestreams, the Hats indulged in an evening of Star Wars tabletop gaming. Ross painted his face grey, Smith donned a pair of shades and a leather jacket, and Trott... wore this.

Miscellaneous

  • Trott gets owned by a door in DayZ... twice!
  • Any of the fanimation highlights from their Hat Chat podcast, but special mention goes to this one.
  • "FIFA-CHU- Ultimate Pack Opening!!!" in its entirety, in no small part due to their lampooning the stupidity of pack opening videos, the hammy reactions which mimic people taking it seriously, and their deliberately misblaming Nintendo for their getting undesirable cards.
  • Worms Clan Wars: Waterpack Woes, during sudden death (where every worm has one health only), Smith uses a waterpack, with his last worm, to shove one of Trott's worms into the water, and then attempts to move in on Trott's other worm, but goes too high when the waterpack runs out... And dies from the fall damage, taking Smith out of the game. Smith then proceeded to scream "shit" at the top of his lungs. Which was then repeated in slow-mo, courtesy of Trott.
  • Worms Clan Wars: Banana Balls Up, the end of the match features what is arguably the BIGGEST Chris Trott Error in their Worms playing history so far. Trott manages to get both of Ross's and Smith's last worms of the game in a position where they will drown within the next turn, winning him the game. Instead of just waiting for the turn to end and the two to drown, Trott takes out a Banana Bomb and, with a very careless throw, kills both himself and Smith, winning Ross the game. Their reactions are hilarious.
  • Worms Clan Wars: The Dark Knight: Trott making fun of Nolan!Batman's voice becomes especially hilarious at the end, starting with this particular line: "Commissioner Gordon, I shit myself!"
  • On something of a meta note, a fan remixed "It's Not Me".
  • Ross' catchphrase comes back to haunt him at a convention.
  • Smiffy's photos of himself get progressively worse.
  • "Velcro is such a rip off."
  • For "Having a Bash", the trio try out the extremely NSFW Rinse and Repeat, which Ross and Smith supposedly found while looking for games to weird Trott out. Their horrified reactions are priceless, as is their discovery that they have to wait twenty-seven real life hours for the next shower.
  • Kim, Hannah Rutherford and Hey Chrissa listen to their "Pleasureville" album. Their sheer bemusement and confusion itself is hilarious, but then "It's Always About My Dick" comes on. Kim's reaction has to be seen to be believed.
  • During Daithi De Nogla and Miniladd's guest slot on the Yogscast charity livestream, they are asked if they have heard Pleasure Elf. Their initial bemused reactions are themselves great, but then Lewis starts singing as well...
  • Trott's birthday tweet to Kim, which in no way, shape or form mentions her age. Doubles as heartwarming.
  • Smith had previously been struggling as the Rake in In Silence, but he manages to pull off an excellent sneak attack on Sips later.
    Ross: [steps on a squeaky toy] Oh shit. [he pauses, thinking he's alerted the Smith!Rake but nothing happens] Wait...
    Smith: [hiding upstairs with an ENORMOUS goofy grin of anticipation]
    Sips: [heads up the stairs] What's that noise? Is there a dog up here - [He shrieks in terror as the Smith!Rake bolts out of the shadows and charges at him, roaring]
    Smith: Ahahahahaha! Surprise, motherfucker! I'm gonna get ya!
    Sips: Gah! Jesus Christ!
  • Another In Silence moment:
    Sips: [as the Rake, running towards Smith] Turn your flashlight off. C'mon, turn it off. [he lunges at him, but Smith deflects him with a flashbang and takes off running] Oh my god. Whaddya got, like twenty fucking batteries on you? Like, what the fuck, you've just got pockets full of batteries?
    Smith: [Now halfway across the map and thinking he's safe, he goes into the house and steps on a squeaky toy. Cue the Sips!Rake promptly jumping and killing him]
    Sips: [Blandly and pleasantly, as if he's not ripping Smith's head off] Hello.
    Smith: [jumps in shock as the Sips!Rake kills him] Oh, for fuck's sake. Jesus Christ, how are you so good at tracking in this?!
    [shortly afterwards, as the Sips!Rake is hunting the remaining survivors]
    Sips: [singing loudly and dramatically] Ohhhhhhhh, Scooby Dooby Doo... [he runs into a fence and breaks character as Trott struggles not to laugh] Oh, jeez. [He continues on and Trott relaxes, thinking he's safe. Cue the Sips!Rake promptly sneaking up on him] ...or maybe it's - oh. Hi! [Trott manages to escape] C'mon, Trott. Where'd you get all those batteries from, Trott?
  • Kim, Katie and Kat react to Shipping and Receiving. Later, Kim reacts to the music video.
  • Smiffy's epic monologue during one round of Among Us:
    Smiffy: You may have condemned me, gentlemen, but I will have my 75 secondsnote ! I... admittedly fucked up somewhat this day. Um... I tried to rig the voting - that didn't go well - Ped was right in how he was about to vote and I should have let him. Next! I wrongly announced the wrong body. Previously I'd sunk my blade into Kat's back, I wandered out and found that Ped had also dispatched Chippy. Hmm, how is old AlSmiffy going to sort the tale of this one? Spoilers - he didn't.note  And that, gentlemen, is how I find myself condemning oneself to the death that I so very much deserve. Good day!
  • At one point in an early round of Among Us, chaos reigns and a new Running Gagnote  is born:
    Ravs: [does the card swiping task, but it doesn't work due to him being too fast] Fuck. [he swipes the card again, at the exact same speed, and of course it doesn't work] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again] Fuck. [He does it again and succeeds... right as Smiffy calls an emergency meeting] There we go! Oh, for fu-
    Duncan: What's up? What's the matter?
    Sips: Hi? Hello?
    Smiffy: [sounding exceedingly smug] I saw Ross lookin' at a fuckin' vent, didn't I? [everyone else collapses into laughter, until Trott asks him what he means] I saw him lookin' at a fuckin' vent.
    Ravs: Nice!
    Sips: [practically dripping with sarcasm] What a revelation!
    Smiffy: He goes into a room, looks at a fuckin' vent, leaves the room after I come in behind him -
    Ross: Well, I didn't go through a vent.
    Smiffy: [in a tone reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes] Hmmmm...
    Ross: That's what you've come here for?
    Duncan: You called a meeting because Ross didn't go through a vent?!
    Smiffy: ...yeah?
    Trott: That's... not much to go on there.
    Smiffy: To me it was enough! I was like "Yep, no smoke without fire, that man looked at a vent!"note
