"I'm like a fine dining, fancy, video-making chef. I only serve what's ripe and in season. Quality stuff. Only the finest, just for you. With that being said... so, I peed on my wallet."

— Jaiden, "An Uncomfortable Trip to the UK"

Ever since she got her start with animating for Cupquake, Jaiden has always kept her content quirky, and through these examples, it shows.

---

2014 - 2016

I'm too Awkward for My Own Good

• Jaiden mentions being in a fancy restaurant where they have a fancy-shmancy name for "penne with tomato sauce".

Crazy Substitute Teachers

• When Jaiden explained to "Mr. Yet-to-be-Thrown-Out Lemon" about her system about kids being called by numbers, he compares it to slavery.

My Horrible Nightmare Group Project

• One of Jaiden's project partners reading her notes in a monotone is slightly amusing. But it's irresistibly hilarious when we see the partner's brain dancing around inside with the caption "No cognitive thought lol"!
• Instead of using her partners' real names in the video, Jaiden looks up "most annoying girls names" on Google and picks the first two names on the list she finds, Renesmee and Bloodrayne. A Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that "Jayden" was actually a little further down the list, and it's annotated with "*cough*".

Impersonation & KYS Rant (i called the police on someone lol)

• While the video is a bit more serious then her usual work, Jaiden does still manage to fit in some comedy. Like in the intro, were she's checking off a to-do list or things for the video which include: "sigh", "say you didn't want to make this video", "have rant in the title", "have a parody checklist like all other parodies" and "be entertaining" which seems to be the only one not-checked.
• Jaiden's rant on Facebook.
  Jaiden: I don't have Facebook, but I realised there were multiple Jaidens around there just frolicking around without a care in the world. And that was frustrating because Facebook absolutely sucks and doesn't give a flip if someone is stealing your image or content! It literally gives you two options. Block them, which doesn't do anything, like... Heh, you're fake? Well, catch this block! (presses a key on her computer, which dosen't affect the Fake Jaiden whatsoever) Whoa man, I can just feel the guilt running down the conscious. That was brutal. Or kindly ask them to stop. What are we Facebook? Four? What are we supposed to do next, hold hands in the impersonation time out corner? I saw this mom blog post this one time and it was like "DIY Time Out Glitter Jar"! Shake the jar and make your little brat watch the glitter sink to the bottom while he thinks about his sins. Something like that. Hey, why don't you try that one next Facebook, YouTube! Mail someone a jar of water and glitter and tell them to turn off their computer and watch it all slosh around. That'll get people to stop doxxing and swatting each other! Go team KINDESS!!! :D
• This quote:
  Jaiden: I AM THE ALPHA JAIDEN
• Her insanely flat delivery of the following line.
  Jaiden: So, this is my Facebook paaaage! Follow it if you want but what's here now is what you get so don't expect anything else from it.

Winter & My Traumatic Skiing Trip

• Jaiden talks about two strangely-named candles: "Man Town" and "Mmm, Bacon".
• Jaiden calls the advanced ski slope the "You Will Die If You Try This as a Child" level.
• When Jaiden brings up her dad, she observes that people have wondered if there's a deep, dark reason why she hasn't mentioned Hugo. She clarifies that she simply hadn't gotten around to talking about him yet by showing off a cartoon version of him.
  Jaiden: My dad... Yes, my dad. I've seen a few comments saying "Jaiden, you haven't talked about your dad before. Is there some deep, depressing story behind that?" No, you're just looking too much into it. He's right here. Hi, Dad.
• Hugo wanted to give her an "I Survived the Wall" T-shirt, but she was too sulky.

2017 - 2019

Things that Freak Me Out

• The entirety of the video is based around silly irrational fears, but in the middle of Jaiden discussing her fear of time limits in video games, she very briefly slips into existentialism for a single line that's so quick and out of left field that it ends up being hilarious, especially given her dry delivery of the line and the visual of the background fading into the cosmos as she says it.
  Jaiden: Our lives are a time limit when you think about it...

My Opinion on Traveling

• Jaiden mentions that she wasn't really paying attention to a little girl who was talking to her on the plane but kept noding in approval and hopes that she didn't say anything weird.
  Girl: Wouldn't it be cool if Satan struck this plane down mid-flight and we hurled down to the earth in a ball of firey terror?
  Jaiden: Hehe. Yep!

Living with Ari

• Jaiden being incredibly salty about Ari being more popular than her.
• All of Ari's antics. All of them.
• This particular Twitter question:
  @waibo: Am I baka for having a crush on Ari? Me no baka, chuu~~!
  (Beat as Jaiden and Ari look at each other)
  Jaiden: Yikes...
• Jaiden compares getting a bird to getting a child and claims that while some people may impulsively decide to get a bird, they don't impulsively get children.
  Jaiden: Well, not intentionally.
  (cut to a couple staring in disbelief at a positive pregnancy test which says "It's an Ari")

Injuries & Being Sick

• Despite being sick at the time of recording this video, Jaiden is having none of that.
  Jaiden: But you know what? Life stops for no one and I'm not gonna get left behi- (abrupt coughing fit)
• Jaiden says that she's lucky to have a really good immune system and hardly ever gets sick, which is immediately followed up by another coughing fit.

Trying to Get Into Fitness & Health

• Jaiden's not a fan of the cheesy hip hop music that plays in the background of home exercise videos.
  Jaiden: And don't play that dumb hip hop music while you work out or I swear to Hercules I'm going to run someone over with an exercise bike!
• Jaiden describes the many activities that can help you get fit:
  Jaiden: There's plenty of activities you can do! Playing a sport with friends, walking your dog, a casual battle to the death... squats!

I tried to go to Canada but got stuck in Minneapolis

• The over-the-top hyperventilating faces that Lynn makes whenever something goes wrong.
  • And Jaiden later admitting that she kind of blew things out of proportion for entertainment's sake.
• Jaiden referring to her brother and herself as "expired children" (it was actually just their passports).

Making the Song about Jaiden’s Anorexia (Empty - BTS)As serious as the subject matter was, Jaiden and Dave still managed to have fun.

• The video starts with Dave sneaking up on Jaiden while she is in the zone drawing, to her fright. When he tries it again later, Ari ends up warning her, ruining the surprise.
• When the two of them are goofing around at a grocery store, Dave asks Jaiden if, as a vegan, she's upset by being in the dairy isle.
  Jaiden: It's brewing. I'm stewing.
• Ari interrupting the dramatic recording of the song. Repeatedly.
• At one point, Dave notes how he didn't expect anything resembling death metal to come out of Jaiden's face.
• Some parts of the video are basically blooper reels.
  Jaiden: This ordeal is becoming routine! Check: Arms, neck, back, fuck! (everyone laughs)
• Part of recording the video involved a smoke machine... in an apartment with a smoke alarm.
  Dave: (as the smoke alarm sounds in the background) This is a bad idea!
• At the end of the video, Dave jokes about how annoying it'd be to find another YouTuber to watch if Jaiden had died from her eating disorder. He immediately regrets it and calls Jaiden to ask what he could do to make it up to her. Cut to him doing the outro wearing a Jaiden Animations t-shirt, holding a Jaiden mug and sitting with a Jaiden plushie in the background.
• The very last shot is Jaiden giving a Shout-Out to iDubbbz:
  Jaiden: I'M GAYYY!

Anxiety is the Greatest! (jk it can go jump off a microwave)

• The video opens with Jaiden being handed a megaphone, which will reach hundreds of thousands of people.
  Jaiden: (yelling into the megaphone) PEE IS STORED IN THE-!
• Jaiden's initial description of social anxiety:
  Jaiden: I'm struggling with social anxiety, which means I hate myself and think everyone hates me, too! Woo! Ha. (Beat) Ugh!
  • She notes the misconception that those with anxiety are worried about people looking at them because they're great:
    Jaiden: I've seen people misunderstand anxiety like-
    Person: Oh, you think everyone's looking at you all the time? Get over yourself, would ya?
    Jaiden: When it's actually: "Oh, no, I don't think everyone's looking at me because I'm great. I think they're severely judging me because they secretly think I'm more worthless than a dead clam... Even though I have no proof that's what they're thinking and they've treated me very nicely ever since I met them. I-I just have a hunch.
• Jaiden recounts one occasion from her senior year of high school during her English class:
  Jaiden: Once during my senior year of high school, I was in my English class, and we were all discussing how men and women are different, and sexism, and nhnnh... fun topic. There were a lot of good points brought up and I wanted to contribute, so I raised my hand... and almost immediately started shaking. My palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom's spaghetti. Which... why?! I'm consenting to participation here! No one's holding my hand up against my will! Why do I, all of a sudden, feel like I want to crawl into a ravine and eat rocks alone in the dark?
  • While she nervously speaks in front of the class about sexism:
    Jaiden: You're not sexist if you say to a guy, "Ha, ha, dude! You can't have babies!"
    • Which is made even funnier by the smug look on the pregnant lady's face as she says this.

look at this before i delete it

• In a quickly made update between regular videos, Jaiden shows some of the merch she's been working on by tossing it un-ceremoniously onto her bed. And accidentally hits Ari with a plushie. Ari bites it in response.
• When she says that she and her store manager Sam are working on getting the merch ready, there's a picture of her hitting a shirt with a hammer.

Being the Best/Worst Ever

• All the not-so-subtle potshots at Jake Paul.
• At one point, Jaiden mentions that you can't expect to improve as a person when you're holding a whip to yourself, and then wonders aloud if you even can whip yourself.
  Jaiden: I LOOKED IT UP AND ENDED UP ON A PAGE I DIDN'T WANT-
  • The next scene has her covering the monitor with caution tape while sheepishly saying the analogy stands.

What my trip to Japan was like

• The Bilingual Bonus when Hugo is trying to talk to random Japanese strangers for directions.
  Hugo: Konnichiwa. Uh... Pleaseu... Help us!
  Woman: Eigo hanaseru wake ne-jyanaika gaijin no baka. Maigo ni narre.^translationI obviously don't know English, you stupid foreigner. You deserve to get lost.
  Hugo: (nods hopefully)
• Jaiden downloaded an app that would allow her to visually translate the Japanese language to her leisure. However, one instance of it not working is when it translated a sign in a bakery as "Surprised Egg" as well as some of the bread's texture as "This Wife."
  Jaiden: (shaking down the bakery's cashier) Who married this egg and why is she so surprised??
• Jaiden compares Shibuya Crossing to "the Bee Movie's traffic system."
• When Jaiden mentions going to a hedgehog cafe, you can see a guy off to the side eating the hedgehog he's holding.
• MEGADONKI
• Jaiden recognizes one of the statues from a temple because it was the inspiration for the Pokémon Thundurus. The video then displays "Dork Alert" as an ear-splitting recorder cover of "Gotta Catch 'Em All" plays.
• Jaiden's rendition of the story about the woman who jumped from Kiyomizu-dera twice.
  Woman: Hey, m-my wish didn't come true... (tosses her crutch; smiles insanely) WELL, I GUESS I JUMP AGAIN!!!
• Kiyomizu-dera has three waterfalls whose waters are purported to grant vitality, wisdom, and love... but you're only allowed to drink from one of them. Jaiden accentuates the point by quietly saying "thirsty ho" as a monk catches somebody drinking from all three waterfalls and slaps them with a fan.
• Jaiden assumes that she and her brother must have disgraced the entire gaming population of Japan while playing a dancing game in an arcade.
  Japanese natives: Oh god why are they here? They look Asian but they're white as crackers.
• Jaiden says she and her brother had a good time playing the dancing the game despite their lack of skill, so anyone who wants to complain can "go konnichiwa (them)self."
• Her fascination with a drink in a light bulb. Definitely the most interesting thing of the whole trip, not like anything was happening in the background.

Locked out of my House

• Jaiden comparing Rajesh cancelling her Uber to being stood up at a dinner date at Olive Garden.
  Rajesh: (on the phone) Hey, you here?
  Jaiden: Yeah! I'm in the back in the-th-the table to the right! (Rajesh drives off outside the window) You can't stand me up like that! At least give me some sort of reason! (leaps at the window; sobbing) Come b-b... Come back! Rajesh!
• According to Jaiden, Uber is an inverted kidnapping.
  (Jaiden throws open car door; points gun at the driver while staring them down)
  Jaiden: (meekly) Take me home...
• Jaiden was worried about her neighbors catching her snooping around their yard, but their actual reactions are... less than frightened.
  Man: Honey? Did we adopt a 21-year old Asian girl, or is this a very unthreatening house robber?
  Little Girl: Mommy, Mommy, look! A... dirty homeless girl! (Beat; mother tosses the curtains nonplussed)
• After noticing she was locked out of her house without keys, Jaiden contemplated smashing her head through the front door à la The Shining, and with a disturbed smile on her face, calmly unlocking the door.
• In an Imagine Spot, Jaiden curses the fact that she can't break into her own house, throws a grappling hook into the air... and accidentally pulls down Sputnik.
• Jaiden finally gives up and calls another Uber so she can meet her roommate, who's having lunch an hour away. At this point, Jaiden has gone twenty hours without sleep and is thoroughly burnt out, to the point the other lunch guests are concerned about her. She tries to order some sushi, but considering she just came back from a trip to Japan, having sushi at some random place in California proves to be a serious comedown.
  Jaiden: (glumly) I'm not having a good time right now...
• When describing her getting another Uber to go where her roommate is, Jaiden draws her sleep-deprived self as an amorphous blob slopping out of the car onto the sidewalk.

Things about Relationships I wish someone told me about

• Jaiden informs the audience that they are not personally responsible for anyone else's happiness.
  Audience Member #1: But they've got really bad self-esteem, and I'm worried that...
  Jaiden: NOT responsible for anyone's happiness!
  Audience Member #2: But they're really depressed and can't help it so I feel like if I just...
  Jaiden: NOT responsible for anyone's happiness!
  Santa: But I'm Santa Claus.
  Jaiden: (beat) Alright, grey area.

Ari's Birthday Party & New Friend

• Jaiden takes Ari to a playground for his birthday, and in his cage, pretends to have him climb the monkey bars... and pushes him down a slide.^*It's actually an Ari plush in the cage when it's pushed down the slide.
• While telling Jordan and Kelsey their roles for the party, Jaiden accidentally calls the latter "Gelsey".
• Kelsey trying to open a bag of confetti.
  Kelsey: Well, I wanna open it gently. I don't want it to just- (bag explodes; Jaiden shrieks)
• Jaiden, Jordan, and Kelsey blowing party blowers. Jaiden blows hers normally, Jordan blows his extremely loudly, and Kelsey's fizzles out and droops repeatedly.
• Jaiden's bird cake for Ari.
  Jaiden: Wanna know how I got the candle in? (Answer Cut to Jaiden power drilling a hole in the cake)
• Kelsey tries a bite of the bird cake for herself. ...She doesn't like it.

An Uncomfortable Trip to the UK

• Jaiden opens up her video, stating that she wants "quality stuff" and "just for you." Seconds later....
  Jaiden: So, I peed on my wallet...
  • Even better, the captions seem like it's in disbelief as well:
    wait wut?
  • The fact that her losing her wallet did not make her freak out one bit, as at that point, she did so much stupid stuff that she feels emotionally drained, as if she’s not surprised she did another stupid thing.
  • Once Jaiden finds her wallet in the toilet and fishes it out...
    Jaiden: Here it is! I... totally peed on it... (Smash Cut to Jaiden blowdrying her money and cards)
• On her list of top worst things to lose on a trip to a foreign country, "virginity" is the second after "wallet".
• She also recalls an encounter with a weird guy before the wallet incident. He bumped her while she was in line for customs, inadvertently getting ahead of her in line. At first it was normal, he apologized and gestured for her to take back her spot, but he didn't move back so they were standing next to each. Then the guy tried to make some small talk...
  Guy: What's your name?
  Jaiden: Jaiden.
  Guy: Nice. (he gives Jaiden a fist bump) So, what brings you to the UK?
  Jaiden: Oh, just visiting friends.
  Guy: Oh, that's actually really nice of you. I didn't expect such generosity since all girls are selfish.
  • Jaiden's offended reaction to this unexpected response is hilarious. She tries to tell him that's not the case but he counters her and the conversation ends with awkward silence. Until...
    Guy: Man, no one here has a UK passport!^note Jaiden was in the non-UK passport line. She exasperatedly lampshades this.
  • At one point, Jaiden also depicts him with skill points like a video game in three categories: bumping people, conversation (literally one point) and being unsettling with the highest amount.
  • After Jaiden sums up the weird situation, she ends it with, "Also stop fist bumping me."
  • At one point, Jaiden has to ask this:
    Jaiden: You do know I'm a girl, right? (turns to whisper to a random person behind her) Does this guy know what a girl is?
  • The final exchange:
    Guy: Well, it was nice meeting you, Jaiden. You're pretty nice. (gives her a final fist bump)
    Jaiden: (nervous laughter) Yeah, thanks... (muttering) Also, stop fist bumping me.
    Guy: And also a nerd!
    Jaiden: HEY I- Oh right, that one's pretty accurate. Anyway, I hope I never see you again.^note Jaiden admits in The Stinger that she didn't actually say that to him aloud.

Strange Video Games I Played as a Kid

• The beginning, when playing Battle HIM, only for her to see the door shut:
  Jaiden: Oh no, the door is NOT locked. I saw the woman waltz right through. (dressed as Bubbles) Let me in right now, or I swear to-

My Time at "Camp Operetta"

• Jaiden explains how the camp was mostly about reading picture books and adapting them into musicals:
  Counselor: What should we have the tiger say?
  (beat)
  Kid: Make him say the F word.
  • Jaiden later mentions that her class added an addition character to one of the books they were adapting:
    Counselor: And that was the cohesive moral story of acceptance and loneliness.
    (beat)
    Kid: Can we add a seahorse?
    Other Kid: Make him say the F word!
• Jaiden's backstory of meeting Raoole the stuffed mouse involved her reading the bare minimum amount of books required to be eligible for the field trip to the bookstore, as well as taking multiple book quizzes for extra points, blindly guessing the answers, and getting one full quiz correct.
  Jaiden: (from the bus) Hell yeah, suckers! I totally earned this trip! WOOOO-
• Jaiden had one time in her life where she realized she was "the Asian kid" in a scenario. When she signed up to play the piano in the Rainbow Fish story, the other kids nervously played "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb", Jaiden played Pachelbel's Canon. At the age of eight. From memory. Also counts as Awesome.

My Childhood Obsession with Animals

• The Running Gag of young Jaiden bursting into the room to ask Lynn for new animals... which culminates in Jaiden tearing through the background to get to her.
  Jaiden: MOM!!!
• During the segment of young Jaiden wanting a mouse, she thinks she found a foolproof way to get one by asking Santa for one on her Christmas list. Christmas day arrives, and she gets a computer mouse. Lynn snickering in the background is the cherry on top.
• Jaiden states that she doesn't need any more animals aside from Ari... as he's destroying her desk behind her.

I Attempted my First Pokemon Nuzlocke

• Teriyaki the Torchic being Ax-Crazy and extremely eager to fight and kill other Pokémon, to the point that Jaiden has to restrain her when she encounters a Seedot in order to add it to her team. Corn the Seedot is obviously terrified when Jaiden talks about how the three of them are going to take on the entire Hoenn region due to Teriyaki giving him a Death Glare.
• When Jaiden is watching Wally try to catch a Ralts, the Ralts takes the tossed Poké Ball and slams it in his face with its psychic powers. Jaiden just facepalms in response.
• Jaiden catching a Taillow and learning from its PokéDex entry that it's "aggressive and screams when hungry". This prompts her to name it after Ari.
• When Jaiden gets a Tentacool, she picks it up and sniffs it. What does she call it?
  Jaiden: Squidward.
• Jaiden tells Ari to wait outside while she fights the Mauville Gym because he's weak to Electric moves. The scene cuts to Ari sitting against the Gym's doors and pouting while the Gym Leader theme from the original Ruby and Sapphire plays, despite the video otherwise using music from the remakes in the animated segments.
• Jaiden falling victim to Cuteness Proximity when Ari evolves into Swellow.
  Jaiden: [ruffling Ari's feathers] Oh look at my big bird! [hugs Ari tightly] Oh look at you! [Ari pecks her in the face, causing her to let go] Gah!
• Jaiden's utter disgust at finding a Spinda instead of a Skarmory in the route before Fallarbor Town. How disgusted? She names the Spinda "Barf" and just leaves it in the PC Box, which is represented by her trying to shove Barf in the disc slot.
• Jaiden is entirely disinterested in Team Aqua and Magma fighting in Meteor Falls.
  Jaiden: [distantly] CAN I GO??? [spots a Zubat] Also get over here, Zubat.
• When Jaiden runs into a Machop, she calls it Chad, only for her to realize that it's a female.
  Jaiden: DID I STUTTER?!?!?
• In a bit of Black Comedy, we get this after Onion the Breloom dies to one of Norman's Slaking, which Jaiden said was the first death that actually stung.^note A Mawile and Whismur died previously, but Jaiden didn't care as much about them.
  Jaiden: [sniff] I'm not crying. [camera pan right to show the Slaking karate chopping Onion in half] Someone's just chopping onions in here.
• Corn the Nuzleaf dying. He dies during a routine grind when a Zigzagoon gets lucky with Pin Missile. This leads to Jaiden crying in despair while calling the confused Zigzagoon a monster before asking Teriyaki if this is why she keeps killing all the Zigzagoons that she sees.
• Jaiden's exasperated reactions when she brings ZipZapZop the Magnemite and later Sparky the Electrike onto the team, and realizes how much she'll have to Level Grind them to get them caught up.
• Jaiden turning Groudon into an Anti-Climax Boss by just tossing the Master Ball at it on turn one.
  Jaiden: There's no way I'm fighting Groudon! [camera zooms out to show her standing between a PC and the Groudon, the latter being 10 times her size yet actually looking intimidated; to Groudon] Now get in the box!
• The fact that Steven Stone's last Pokémon is Armaldo is treated as "Gary's^note Jaiden's Anorith final revenge for getting booted from the team".

I Don't like the Dentist

• Jaiden's pun about being more scared about how much the dentist charges is capped off with a clone of herself doing a rimshot, with the last note being played via Face Plant.
• When Jaiden musters up the energy to rip out her last two baby teeth, Lynn pays her $75 for saving her $500 on scheduling an extraction appointment. Said reward makes Jaiden come to a realization.
  Jaiden: Wow... (beat) The Tooth Fairy been scammin' me for years!
• This Black Comedy Burst when Jaiden realizes something about the Valium she took.
  Jaiden: (thinking) This medication isn't doing anything for me, and I am extremely conscious... (rummaging her roommate's glove compartment; out loud) Do you have any chloroform?!

2020 - Ongoing

The Most Underrated Game Ever

• Jaiden challenging characters to a Fossil Fight is often shown as her roughly slamming her Vivosaurs into her opponents.
• When Dr. Diggins tells Jaiden that she only needs a head fossil to revive a Vivosaur:
  Jaiden: Oh, so you're saying I can't have a dinosaur with just legs? (squares up to fight) Just watch me! Let me revive them legs! They'll kick your a-
• Upon learning that you can blow the dust off fossils with the microphone, Jaiden needs to test something.
  Jaiden: AAAAAAH! Yep, screaming works just as fine.
• "Oh my God, it's Rhianna!"
• Jaden's reaction to the game's storyline shifting from goofy dinosaur battling antics to trying to stop a race of Dino-people from taking over the planet.
  Jaiden: What is happening to this storyline? I thought I was just gonna beat up dinosaurs!

The best pokemon game you never played

• Jaiden isn't too thrilled about her teacher instantly saddling her to sit next to Keith, a kid she's never met and won't stop staring at her.
  Jaiden: Oh, okay! Just plop me right next to him! Yeah, I don't mind or anything. Thanks, Teach...
• "Touch the Bidoof"
• Jaiden dancing along to the Team Dim Sun battle music.
  • Bonus points to the Dim Sun grunt just staring at her with the most bewildered expression on his face.
  • While she's dancing, she seamlessly captures the Rattata that was slowly crawling towards her, without missing a beat.
• "I want to peg you with a snowball. Hard."
• Basically any of Jaiden's encounters with the Dim Sun grunts.
  Grunt: Man, that's a big hunk of ice. If we made snowcones out of it, we'd be able to feed, like, 403 people. (Notices Jaiden) Hey! That outfit! What were they called again? Pokémon Ranger? You came for a snowcone?

Animal Crossing used to be so much darker...

• Jaiden's conversation with Rover, with Jaiden keeping the same tone the entire time.
  Rover: Who are you?
  Jaiden: I'm Jaiden.
  Rover: Where you going?
  Jaiden: Mustard.
  Rover: What's your credit number and Mother's maiden name?
  Jaiden: September Twenty-Seventh!
  Rover: My friend has a house for you, because you're stupid!
  Jaiden: Okay.
• Tom Nook laughs at Jaiden for not having enough bells before suddenly putting a bag over her head and knocking her out.
• Jaiden's intense enmity with the Snooty Villager Sue E.
  • How their first interaction ends. After being viciously roasted by Sue E, Jaiden responds with a Jaw Drop... followed by reverse-suplexing the dresser she was just given into a trash can.

I Attempted A Speedrun (and got a world record)

• The buildup to Jaiden's declaraction to attempt a speedrun:
  Jaiden: I am going to be the first person in the world to speedrun... Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends! ...That I know of.
• Jaiden declaring her revenge upon the Mango Pudding recipe.
  (whilst being dragged out of the kitchen by Mama) "I'll come back stronger, and I'll cook you so well that I'll become the Mama!"
  • Afterwards, she's shown downing a bottle of spicy water in despair.
• Jaiden presenting a Bento Box to not only Cooking Mama, but also Goro Majima and Kazuma Kiryu.

LOOK I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!!!!

• In a quickly made update between regular videos, Jaiden shows the new Arigato line merch. But, how does the video start?
  Jaiden: ARE YOU NAKED!?

I tried to beat Minecraft with CallMeCarson

• The ravine.
  Carson: Oh yeah, there's a big ravine down there. I'd be careful. (hits her) You don't want to fall, or anything.
  Jaiden: Ahhh! Stop!
  Jaidenhere fell from a high place.
  Carson: (beat) It was an accident.
  • This was followed up by Carson failing to jump over the ravine and almost dying himself.
  • If you look closely, Carson actually loses a couple of subscribers right after this, indicating those two people didn't find it so funny.
• Jaiden and Carson dug their way above a cavern that leads to diamonds but is also very high off the ground and above lava. Jaiden tries to get closer to the edge to get a good look which leads to this exchange.
  Carson: WOAH! No, don't do that! In fact, why don't you go back and cook something?
  (he and Jaiden both laugh out loud)
  Carson: No, I don't mean like in a stereotype way!
  Jaiden: I have an idea, if we jump into the spider webs, we can have enough time to build enough blocks before we fall in the lava.
  Carson: Oh, that is a bad idea, but if you want to try, be my guest!
  Jaiden: ...Aaah, I should probably go cook something!
• Carson pogging twice when he found both Diamond veins.
• This exchange.
  Carson: (completely monotone calm voice) Just ignore these guys, just run past them. (gets hit with a fire arrow as he's running) Like how I just did.
  Jaiden: (concerned) You're on fire.
  Carson: (still calm) Don't talk about it.

I Attempted a Pokemon Platinum Nuzlocke

• Any time Jaiden describes "beating" up someone - Pokémon, Barry, Team Galactic - by literally using Turtwig as a hammer.
• While the production values of this video are bumped up to provide a more lore-intensive experience, it's somewhat undermined by the fact that throughout the video, Jaiden isn't wearing pants.
• Jaiden accidentally knocks out her first encounter due to Turt the Turtwig landing a critical hit. Turt is drawn looking back at Jaiden with a joyful expression and stars in his eyes as Jaiden facepalms over losing the Shinx he knocked out.
• As Jaiden is taking in the sights of Jubilife City, Lucas and Looker can be seen arguing with each other in the background.
• Jaiden fishes up a Magikarp that she decides to name Puppy, which becomes considerably funnier when it evolves into a fearsome Gyarados and still has the cute name. There's also the matter of Jaiden putting a dog leash on her new fish.
  Jaiden: [in a cutesy voice] Hi, Magikarp. Your name is Puppy. [puts a collar and leash on Puppy, then starts dragging it away by the leash]
• Despite Jaiden being nervous beforehand, the battle against Roark is rendered an Anti-Climax thanks to Turt landing another critical hit and one-shotting his Cranidos before it can do anything. This is represented by Cranidos' head being sliced off, shocking both Turt and Roark; the headless body then raises a White Flag to surrender. Roark facepalms as he hands a sheepishly grinning Jaiden the gym badge.
• After explaining that she's excited to get to Valley Windworks because it has Shellos, Jaiden rushes over to get her encounter and finds... another Shinx. Jaiden catches the Shinx and names it Failure to vent her disappointment about not getting a Shellos, then sends the Shinx to the Pokémon Storage System by throwing it head-first into a PC.
• Jaiden dubs Dwayne the Onix a legend for surviving a hit from Mars' Purugly on one HP... then sends him back to the storage box and doesn't bring him up again for the rest of the video. A Pokémon Center nurse and a Chansey are shown repairing the broken PC that Failure the Shinx was thrown into earlier, only for Dwayne's Poké Ball to be launched straight through a metal patch.
• "I was shaking on my way back to the Pokémon Center when this lady, Cynthia, shows up and is like... ''Egg?''"
• When Jaiden encounters a Gible in Wayward Cave, she starts gushing about how great of an addition it would be to her team. Then she says, "and now there was nothing in my way between that and-" as Turt (now a Grotle) kills it with a critical hit. Turt gives a not-so-innocent side-eye.
• Jaiden encounters a young couple who vigorously make out with each other, resulting in her covering Devito the Kirlia's eyes. Devito dies in the battle with them to a Buizel's Pursuit, leading to Jaiden holding Devito's body and scowling as the couple continues making out in the background.
  Jaiden: And that's why I hate love.
• Jaiden replaces Devito with a Scyther named Shrimp. The nurse and the Chansey from earlier are shown to have finally repaired the PC, only for it to explode and reveal Shrimp.
• When Jaiden finds her Shellos and tells about how fabulously wonderful it is and how much she adores it, the caption across the bottom of the screen as she's being "interviewed" about it reads: Local weirdo finds slug on the side of the road, legally adopts it and whole-heartedly considers it "her child". Guess what later happens to said Shellos?
• Jaiden tries to catch a Yanma in the Great Marsh, only to accidentally throw a Poké Ball at a Wooper. As she's already caught its evolved form Quagsire, Jaiden facepalms and dubs the Wooper Oops.
• Jaiden says the grunt who set off a bomb is weak as she uses Puppy the Gyarados as a bat to send him flying.
• Cyrus goes on a Motive Rant with some over-the-top expressions, only to look over and see that Jaiden is taking a nap instead of listening to him. He then grabs Jaiden and shakes her awake so they can battle.
  Jaiden: (Cyrus) starts some evil Shakespeare speech about how everything is imperfect, so he's got to blow up the world or somethin', I dunno, I wasn't really payin' attention.
• Jaiden catching a Magnemite is represented by her standing outside the Fuego Ironworks with a horseshoe magnet and pulling in the Magnemite while she's looking the other way.
• "Then Team Galactic sets off another bomb, this time at Lake Valor." Jaiden drops her new gym badge due to getting startled, then glares at the smoke cloud in the distance.
• Lucas and Mars are shown to be screaming at each other before Jaiden shows up and has Turt kick Mars in the face, then buck her into the sky.
• Jaiden's team turns out to have a shared weakness to Ice types, which becomes an issue when preparing to fight a Gym that specializes in said type. Four of her Pokémon, who also all happen to be the more intimidating-looking members of the team, are shown quaking in fear at the sight of Jaiden holding an ice cube.
• Jaiden teaches Puppy how to use Fire Blast by drawing the kanji for fire on a piece of paper and showing it to her Gyarados, which somehow works. Meanwhile, Jaiden's narration expresses confusion about how a sea serpent can learn such a Fire move in the first place.
  Jaiden: Yeah, I didn't know 'e could- [briefly stammers] Anyway...
• Oops the Wooper is always shown drooling, including after evolving into Quagsire, regardless of the situation.
• Like Wally in the previous Nuzlocke, Jaiden pretty much has no time for her rival Barry. All fights with him are glossed over, implying a Curb-Stomp Battle, and he even ends up the Butt-Monkey when not fighting her.
  • At the very start, Barry's introduction is lying in wait at Jaiden's bed while she sleeps, and as soon as she wakes up, diving in her face and yelling "POKÉMON!". Jaiden just blinks at him.
  • When Jaiden arrives at Lake Acuity, Barry is portrayed as lying on the ground bawling his eyes out after losing to Jupiter. Jaiden awkwardly looks around and walks away without helping.
    Jaiden: ...I'm gonna go to Veilstone...
  • When Jaiden and Barry team up at the top of Mt. Coronet, Jaiden has her Quagsire use Surf to take out two Bronzor, a Purugly... and Barry's Munchlax.
  • Blink and you'll miss it, but right before his second battle, when Barry runs up to challenge Jaiden, his face is briefly drawn like Sonic the Hedgehog.
• On Cynthia's Garchomp: "That thing was made by Satan himself, and I'm sure even he fears what he has created!"

I played weird virtual pet games

• One of Jaiden's dogs from her old Nintendogs game is named "Scruffy" after her real life dog "who is super dead now".
  Jaiden: Woah, Scruffy, I know you haven't had any human contact for years 'cause you're dead, but calm down!
• Jaiden wanted to show herself taking a walk with her dogs in the game but then she got a message saying "You already went for a walk today!"
  Jaiden: I do not think that's true! I haven't seen these dogs in 12 years!
• Star, Jaiden's main dog, has maxed out stats and this is represented through an image of her with an extremely muscular humanoid body.
• Jaiden playing "Petz: Hamsterz Life":
  • A previous save file is already on the game. Jaiden deleting it is represented by her throwing the old hamster in the garbage.
  • Jaiden sees a cute Moe Anthropomorphism hamster girl on the screen and snarks "oh no it's one of these games!"
  • Jaiden's response to the "cutie hamster" is to call it one of the ugliest hamsters she's ever seen. She adopts it and names it "Grandpa".
  • Grandpa seems to start going through an existential crisis and Jaiden has no idea what to think about it.
• From Jaiden playing "Parrot Palz":
  • Jaiden was excited for this one, because quoting her: "I have my own parrot pals!" *shows Tofu and Ari sitting on her shoulders*
  • The bird Jaiden chooses is a "large" bird and she names it "Large".
  • When Jaiden tries to get Large to talk, he responds with "I don't like you." Apparently, a review where something similar happened to a little girl until she cried was what convinced Jaiden to buy the game.
  • Jaiden gets confused when she has to teach Large a bunch of random phrases, but it turns out she has to teach him a very strange version of the tale of Momotaro. She admits that she would probably not have put this much effort into it if she weren't milking the game for content.
  • Large "starts going off with the free speech" and says things like "I'm feeling aloha", "I'm so getting pissed", "you f*cked my again" and "You look really hot". Jaiden is baffled.
    Jaiden: I didn't teach him any of that! Why is he saying these things!?
  • Jaiden's complete incredulity at the fact that the ranks for bird training in the game are "Beginner", "Novice" and "Master"—Master!Large is even represented as super buff just like maxed out Star!
• Petz Monkeyz House:
  • Jaiden's horrified reaction to her first monkey's design:
    Jaiden: Well, hello there, little guy- (monkey turns to face her) OH GOD! (beat) Well how can I say "no" to a face like that?
  • Jaiden being surprised to learn that her first monkey, who she named Champ, is a girl because apparently they colored both gender icons blue.
  • Jaiden being more than a little disturbed at how big Champ got, commenting that she could absolutely kill her if she wanted.
  • Jaiden dressing up Champ in a cozy sweater because at this point, it feels like she just has a "hairy person" in her house.
  • After Jaiden gets more monkeys, one of them mates with Champ and has a baby with her. Jaiden has this to say:
    Jaiden: I think that, out of all these games, the fact that the monkeys can have babies probably makes me the most uncomfortable...
  • Jaiden pointing out the massive amount of bugs in the game, including the weird water physics and the fact that you can catch the monkeys T-posing for a second sometimes.

Dating Things I Shouldn't

• Speed Dating for Ghosts:
  • Jaiden tells the receptionist that she likes being alone and isn't interested in even making friends, which leads to her leaving the game. The next time around, she lies.
    Jaiden: I guess I can't be myself in these games after all.
  • Jaiden tells Riley to slow down while slamming a hammer in his face. She feels bad and laments that she doesn't think she's good at these games.
  • Jaiden is very on board with robbing a bank with Leon. She's even more ecstatic when Spooky Peter joins the heist, which is the perfect mood for robbing a bank.
  • Once Jaiden tells Steph she's dead, Steph admits that she feels dissociated. This strikes Jaiden as too relatable, quite literally sending a "relatable" arrow into her chest.
    Jaiden: What the heck? You can't recite my own feelings to me like that.
• The Ratchelor: Jaiden highlights a few bits of dialogue of her dating prospects, followed by her flat responses of "Wow you're so different", "Yuck", and "You talk a lot". She ends up proposing to three salamanders dressed up as a rat.
• Jaiden tries a dating simulator for dogs, which ends with "I never want to see you again."
• Namco High:
  • Jaiden is hoping to get Dig Dug, but it turns out he's the principal. She found out because she ended up in detention for rolling up desks, the entire marching band, cars, Principal Dig Dug...
  • Jaiden ends up picking Galaga Ship and acts so head-over-heels for it.
  • After the Galaga Ship's parents ban them and Jaiden from talking to each other, Pac-Man pops out of nowhere and tells Jaiden to be true to herself. Shortly afterwards, Pac-Man gets kidnapped. At this point, Jaiden is left confused by just how bizarre everything about this game is.
• Jaiden concludes that she won't be picking up dating sims anytime soon, but she could totally go for another bank robbery.
• The whole video becomes extremely Hilarious in Hindsight if you watch it after "Being Not Straight", in which Jaiden comes out as aromantic and asexual. The sheer disinterest in romance that she shows throughout the video suddenly makes a LOT more sense and feels like real-life Foreshadowing. It's even better for viewers who are aromantic or asexual themselves, as it's common for aros and aces to struggle with dating without understanding why until they figure out their orientation, making the whole thing ridiculously relatable.

I Attempted a Two Player Nuzlocke

• When Jaiden mentions the nickname rule at the beginning of the video, a Furret named "Spagooblio" pops up.
• Jaiden's explanation of the SoulLink is accompanied by a Totodile getting crushed by a Steelix's tail and its partner Cyndaquil looking around in a panic before dropping dead.
• Jaiden explains that randomization means that Arceus is a possible encounter and could kill her whole team.
  Jaiden: I can walk into the grass at any point and accidentally find God. (beat) And maybe he'll just kill all my animals right then and there.
• After the rival loses his first battle, he drops his wallet, passport, credit card, driver's license, social security, and Target gift card on the ground for all the world to see.
• When discussing why Jan from Pokémon Challenges is a great fit for the rival's role, Jaiden draws the scene in which Alpharad sent out an Onix against Lorelei's Jynx. Jan stamps a Slowpoke on Jacob's head.
  • The fact that Jan himself found it Actually Pretty Funny counts in itself.
• The neighbor, a Composite Character of Ethan and Lyra, demonstrates how to catch a Pokémon. They run into Articuno, catch it in green health, and act like it was a simple task.
• From the get-go, Alpharad consistently gets much better encounters than Jaiden, such as fully evolved Pokémon and Legendaries (that he accidentally keeps killing). It doesn't take long for Jaiden to start questioning why Alpharad finds all the good Pokémon. When they do catch the mons, Alpharad dances in the background while Jaiden looks unamused.
• Jaiden goes off on a tangent about how Google formerly listed Palkia's weaknesses as Fairy and "Salamence" instead of Dragon. She and Alpharad proceed to tease every Palkia they find^note  a surprising amount, even considering that their games are randomized about Salamence, even dressing up B'drodo the Beedrill as one.
• Jaiden is unamused when Alpharad's gift Pokémon turns out to be a Legendary of an overlapping type, Regigigas.
  Jaiden: Of all the legends you had to get, of course you get the only Normal-type besides actual God.
• When Jaiden and Alpharad scare off the Legendary Beasts, looking closely reveals that Suicune is slumped over unconscious on Entei's back instead of running on its own. Presumably it's still recovering from Alpharad's Torterra knocking it out by accident earlier on.
• Chuck stares Jaiden down and barrels over her before turning back to give Jacob a lollipop.
• Jaiden defeats Chuck's Kingdra with her Abomasnow, stopping to point out that it has an ability that automatically sets up hail. Chuck's next Pokémon is Froslass, whose Snow Cloak ability boosts its evasion in hail. In other words, Jaiden is in the same situation she was against Candice in the Platinum Nuzlocke.
• Chuck writes Camerupt's name in a Death Note as the in-universe explanation for why Camerupt died despite making it out of the gym alive.
• Alpharad drags Jaiden out of Chuck's gym as she flips him off, censored by Missingno.
• Jaiden bangs her head on the wall when Jasmine sends out Lugia (for comparison, Jacob gets an Azurill). But she says it's alright because Jasmine also has a Deoxys.
• The Lake of Rage shiny encounter is a Buneary and Donphan. Jaiden picks up the Buneary by the arm, and it immediately goes limp. Jaiden awkwardly puts it back in the water as she apologizes for killing the Buneary.
• Obamatar (Abomasnow/Pupitar) is killed because Alpharad was too busy eating a chicken sandwich and made his Pupitar use Dig, which was followed up by a Golem's Earthquake. The gravestone says "Sorry I got distracted by chicken sandwich, friend :(". A Team Rocket grunt mourns alongside the duo before pulling out a Poké Ball, causing them to jump up and scream.
• As the duo is heading off to the Elite Four, Professor Elm interrupts and says they should fight a horde of Asian women in Ecruteak. Since this is Johto, everyone is technically Asian.
• After losing Franklin due to not paying attention, Jaiden laments that Jan is going to make so much fun of them when he finds out they lost their starters. He doesn't.
• The last Kimono Girl spams Rest, much to Jaiden's anger.
  Jaiden: Do you have any dignity, woman?! We're lamenting over here!
• As Jan comes up from behind at the end of Victory Road, Jaiden says, "This is your last chance to kill one of our Pokémon, Jan." They lose Darphel (Charizard/Donphan).
  Jaiden: Heading towards the exit, Jan sprints up behind us and I iconically say: "This is your last chance to kill one of our Pokémon, Jan." And, what happens?
  (Beat; Jan's Hitmontop uses Counter to kill Jaiden's Charizard)
  Jaiden: He killed one of our Pokémon.
• The duo spends such a long time at the PC that they get kicked out of the Pokémon Center after a line of impatient trainers builds up behind them.
• Jaiden admits that the team for the Elite Four is unbalanced, out of Jacob's favor. She tells him to tell the audience that it was the best they could do, but he just sports a sour expression.
• After they breeze by Lance's Phione/Ledian, Jacob is up against a Porygon-Z, Rampardos, Lickilicky, Zapdos, and Plusle. Jacob cowers beneath the Zapdos and opens his eyes unamused when he sees the Plusle.
• Jaiden spends so long battling Lance's Snorlax that Alpharad finishes his version of the Champion fight before it goes down. This leads to a shot of him prancing about in the background with a cape and scepter while confetti falls on him.
• After the Snorlax is finally defeated, Lance's next Pokémon for Jaiden is a Palkia. Jaiden woefully realizes her team is ill-equipped to deal with the Legendary.
  Jaiden: Ohh... I could really use a Salamence right about now...
• Lance's Azumarill makes a wide-eyed, snotty, toothy screaming face as Cradily starts chipping at it. After that, the match devolves into a 10-minute Wimp Fight.
• At the end, Jaiden thanks all the Pokémon they encountered along the way. The screen then cuts to a Froslass standing behind her and Alpharad. Jaiden shoves it offscreen while saying, "except you."

Being Not Straight

• Jaiden forgot about "Pikachu"'s^note The codename for Jaiden's designated crush in the video Batman Valentine's Day card, leading to Lynn finding it in a drawer a year later.
  Lynn: Why do you have this?
  Jaiden: Honestly, I have no idea.
• When Jaiden was a teen and wondering why she didn't find anyone at school attractive, she is drawn with an error message that says, "404—Attraction not found".
• It's as they say, two half nothings is a whole nothing.
  Jaiden: I even used to think I was bi or pan for the longest time, because I would think to myself, "Well, bi is being interested in both genders. I don't really care for either, but zero is equal to zero, so I guess I'm bi or pan." (beat) I got math involved.

Speedrunning an Unspeedrunnable Game

• Jaiden came incredibly close to losing her near-perfect fifth run because, while she was in full concentration mode, Alpharad joined her Discord call completely unannounced.
• When Jaiden is floating in a void of time dilation, a chibi Amelia Watson can be seen spinning in circles.

The Darkest Pokemon game you've never played

• Jaiden describes the expression the S.S. Libra's captain makes upon seeing Shadow Lugia as him wanting to kiss the Legendary, which leads directly into her saying the following, accompanied by Lugia putting on a ski mask and holding a knife:
  Jaiden: But Lugia is not here for kisses. He's here for the opposite of kisses... which is crime.
• When the S.S. Libra's two crewmates jump overboard, Jaiden believes them to have drowned at sea.
  Jaiden: Well, that was a bit... raw. What are we, a minute in, and two people are dead? (beat) Gen X could never.
• Jaiden never lets Lily hear the end of the fact that she never lets her child receive compliments.
  Jaiden: I don't know what kind of a response that is to a child receiving praise? (Jaiden has a lantern jaw and poses) Either I'm already a cocky, little bastard, (Jaiden is now drooping and shivering) or I'm being currently emotionally neglected by everyone in this building. Whatever it is, I don't think it's healthy for my mental development.
• The newfound hatred Jaiden develops for Jovi.
  Jovi: Oh, hi, big brother! It's Jovi! (with a smug face) Did you get lost, big brother? Silly big brother! Jovi will guide you back home!
  Jaiden: (snort) Alright, I see why no one was looking for her now.
  • Jovi begging to go along with Jaiden finally pushes her to her Rage Breaking Point.
    Jaiden: Okay, not only does this little snot talk in the third person for no reason; maybe our mom didn't care enough to get us any education? Perhaps she was worried the teacher would give us a compliment, (Lily throws heart back at teacher's face and brushes sweat) heaven forbid, but she's also the most annoying character I've ever witnessed in any media, and I've watched an episode of My Hero Academia with the Grape Kid in it! (Mineta has a nosebleed)
  • Jaiden is sitting back and eating popcorn while getting ready to watch Zook crush Jovi in his fist... until Greevil comes in and defeats his own henchman.
    Jaiden: Old man... I was about to be free of everything that is bad in my life, and you took that away from me.
• The Running Gag of everyone in Orre knowing the exact latitude and longitude of Cipher's various headquarters... in the middle of the desert.
  Jaiden: You people are beyond me!
• Jaiden referring to Lovrina as "Pink Hatsune Miku".
• When returning to Nett, Jaiden, while holding a pizza box, sees that Cipher has set ONBS Station on fire and kidnapped another person.
  Jaiden: Have you guys min/maxed how to kidnap people, or something?! You're 2-for-2 at this point, and are scarily efficient at it.
• Jaiden, who is a child in-game, being shooed away by Phenac City's ambassador to Realgam Tower... so that she can illegally gamble.
  Jaiden: Wow! No one in this region likes children, do they?!
• The revelation that Cipher had kidnapped all of Phenac leaves Jaiden stunned.
  Jaiden: I don't care what kind of organization you're from; if you can successfully kidnap a village... you've earned my respect.
• The ludicrousness that is Jaiden getting roofied by Team Snagem.
  Gonzap: Actually... you can have your arm thing back. We're not enemies.
  Jaiden: Awesome. (Beat) So, why am I here?! You drugged me, stole my stuff, and then, just, called friendship and gave it back!
  • Though, Gonzap does try to show Jaiden that he's her friend by roofying the actual biggest men in the world, when she previously thought it was Zook.
    Jaiden: Thanks, man. You're... really consistent at that.
• Greevil giving Jaiden his IP address.
• Jaiden's genuinely impressed with Greevil for Moving the Goalposts.
  Greevil: I'm surprised you made it this far! (Evil Laugh) Well, I'm busy; don't bother me. (raises glass pane)
  Jaiden: Honestly, out of all the fictional villains I've seen, this is surprisingly... decently reasonable. (Greevil starts playing his Nintendo Switch)
  • ...Only for Jaiden to use the side door to get in, which pisses Greevil off.
    Jaiden: I mean... dude. Either lock the door, or don't have it. This is just what doors do.
• Greevil summons Shadow Lugia to take Jaiden out... and she Master Balls it immediately, just like she did with Groudon.
  Jaiden: Really overlooked that one, didn't ya', mate? He may not be purifiable, but he's mine now. (SpongeBob sad sting) Pfft. Huge L.

The game Nintendo wants you to forget

• Right off the bat, the thumbnail has Jaiden shielding her face from Mario showing her his crotch.
• Jaiden knowing from the first story challenge of Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix how most of the game is gonna be. It gets to where she has to clarify that the Boogie Booster battle dialogue she does is straight from the game.

Pokemon Fan plays Digimon and hated it

• To show off her love of Pokémon, Jaiden jumps off her bed like a diving board into a sea of Pokémon plushes.
• Jaiden struggled so badly to find a Digimon game to play, and felt bad for the Digimon fandom, due to their calm resignation at being constantly let down by the games.
• As Jaiden said the fans made things difficult by not pitching the good Digimon games, it shows a thread of comments. Which is essentially half of them simping for Renamon, before showing Jaiden collapsed with her brain trying to escape from her head.
• The Crappy Carnival Jaiden compares her game experience to as a Shout-Out to Luigi's Mansion. She looks at a map with a very fun-looking carnival, only for the map to be Very False Advertising. Complete with slow-moving bumper cars, a SkullGreymon rollercoaster that makes the riders sick to their stomachs, and a Monzaemon that pulls an Exorcist Head when asked for a balloon. Funny in a Black Comedy sort of way.
• Jaiden fully admits she knows nothing about Digimon, then proves it right as she begins playing by saying the following, causing all the Digimon to react with Oh, Crap! expressions.
  Jaiden: First of all, where are we? This certainly doesn't look like the States... or, Japan, I think. Also, what is a Digimon?
• After bashing her face into her DS enough times, Jaiden has an imprint of her DS' frames and buttons smeared into her face.
• In what is probably the most quintessentially Digimon moment in the entire video, Jaiden accidentally kills Leomon while he's reading a book titled "How to Survive", and the quest she unlocks by doing so is called "Dig a grave!".
• Apparently, playing Digimon World Dawn caused Jaiden to undergo quite a bit of Sanity Slippage....
  Jaiden: Am I the only one who thinks that this game is meant to be given to hostages to torture information out of them?! I'm three hours in, and I'm straight-up ready to spill my mother's maiden name. And I still don't even know how to play the thing, or what a Digimon is! Because, no, I do not want to read a Bible's worth of tutorials. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna be the first person to use a Nintendo DS to kill a man...
• The "credits" during the game's story recap turns out to actually be the Angela Anaconda divorce copypasta.
• As Jaiden explains how she could've played the game properly (she was cheating by her own admission), she shows herself walking along as a Veemon suddenly jumps out as if to say "rawr", only for a very bored looking Jaiden to point at the Veemon, causing Coronamon to jump him and create a Big Ball of Violence. As this is going on, she looks over a cliff, then voluntarily throws herself off of it, explaining that if she played the game properly, she would've thrown herself into the ocean.
• The rant Jaiden gives off to a very bewildered Gaiomon after saying she still had to do a cement mixer's worth of grinding:
  Jaiden: No way, José! Do you have any idea how many layers deep this agony cake is?! You want more?! Sir, I am but a husk. As you can see, there is not a molecule of serotonin, dopamine, or endorphines in this lifeless body. There is nothing left to take. You have created a human raisin...
• When going over how she's come out of the experience with a newfound appreciation for the designs in Digimon, Jaiden shows particular interest in Lucemon Chaos Mode, complete with this little gem.
  Jaiden: When it comes to monsters and creatures, I have to admit! I am an edgy bitch!
• Jaiden apologizes to the Digimon fandom for not playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, mainly because she didn't know the alternative was 1,000 punches to the skull. As she's saying this, she's shown getting punched in the face six times.

Mario but I’m Blindfolded

• Jaiden already makes a good first impression by having Jacob sit cleanly on the couch, only for her to fall over trying to sit down while she's blindfolded, with Jacob looking concerned.
• It's through this experience that Jaiden comes to an epiphany.
  Jaiden: And this is where I get to learn I'm a chronic overapologizer.
• After Jacob celebrates Jaiden and Mario jumping over a pit, a Koopa Troopa nonchalantly pushes Jaiden down the pit, with Mario falling in backwards after her.
• Jacob looks like he's about to snap, but Chibi Jaiden calms him down by giving him a chicken sandwich from Los Pollos Hermanos.
• Jaiden refers to herself as a "Helpless Blindfolded Person" and Jacob as a "Guide Dog", and to represent it, Jaiden is holding a white cane, while Jacob is a Little Bit Beastly.
• When attempting to cross a standard jump, Jaiden skyrockets into the air, only to dive headlong into the pit, complete with the screen freezing with a To Be Continued tag.
• In Jacob's jump velocity chart, the movement cycle of a Shy Guy has one of the Shy Guys actually be a Crewmate wearing a Shy Guy mask.
• In Jaiden's pile of Pokémon plushes (with a paper calling them Emotional Support 'Mon), the single outlier is a giant Hatsune Miku plush (which turns out to be Jacob's Emotional Support Hatsune Miku).
• When the two take a break, they order Lil' Kayzer's Peekza, complete with Ironmouse on the pizza box.

Pokemon Sent Me ALL Their Plushies

• Jaiden uses a shelf to help her rank all the plushies, which each level representing a different tier. Naturally, the downsides of having to fit numerous plushies onto a single shelf become quickly apparent (especially since there's 174 plushies to rank); by the time she gets to Deerling, Jaiden is visibly struggling to fit more onto the B-tier shelf, and when she gets to Heatmor, she has to stop them from falling out entirely.
• Jaiden got her entire Unova Sitting Cuties via The Pokémon Company being generous^note and also the fact that she spent $900 on Pokémon plushies 2 hours prior. But that wasn't the case for another PokéTuber:
  Lockstin & Gnoggin: I tried buying all of these and got banned from the site because they thought I was a bot.
• Jaiden, at one point, makes a joke about there needing to be merchandise that makes Roggenrola into a pencil sharpener. Funnily enough, she's not the first person to make that comment.

The Time Psychics Read my Future

• The visuals challenging the first psychic's "Being your own boss and not liking people telling you what to do" declaration have Jaiden's birds hypnotizing her to feed them. They do this by attaching a carrot on a stick in front of her as if she were a horse.
  • "Being her own boss" is proven by her waving to her cast in their credits designs.
• Her incredulousness at the psychic claiming a crystal can keep her birds safe for $427.
  Jaiden: I didn't know you can repel cancer for under $500. Someone distract the government, I think we're onto something here!
• After depicting the first psychic as fairly normal looking, the rest of them are depicted as Maya Fey, Sabrina (who's even shown to have Kadabra and Hypno with her), and Chihaya Mifune. The fifth one doesn't get to appear at all, outside of her face on Jaiden's phone.
• When doing the palm reading during the second psychic visit, Maya grows a giant hand and Bitch Slaps Jaiden across the face with a smile.
• Sabrina senses that Jaiden has a big purchase on her mind, which Jaiden says is true, as a thought bubble with a car is shown... but when she asks what it is, Jaiden reveals it's actually a giant Altaria plush^note which she did end up buying, causing Sabrina to do a Double Take.
• Chihaya ends up being late to her reading. Jaiden notes the irony of a psychic running late.
  Jaiden: Fifteen minutes passed… then twenty… then thirty… THIS LADY WAS FORTY MINUTES LATE TO A PSYCHIC READING!
• When mentioning how visiting a psychic is a luxury expense, Coconut Mall is playing in the background, with the cash register sound effect being timed to Jaiden shoving money into Chihaya's hand, and the beat drop being timed to the two of them smiling widely as they're about to be hit by a car.
• "Also, my chakras seem unaligned and my third eye isn't very developed despite how old my soul is... which sure is a sentence..."
• When Chihaya does a little ritual to realign Jaiden's chakras, she says she has to leave the room for five minutes so their energies don't mix. Jaiden, however, is pretty sure she left her there for fifteen minutes or more.
• All of the psychics Jaiden visits tell her that she'll have three kids, something that baffles her given that she's asexual and doesn't even like babies.
• The fifth psychic:
  • When the psychic tells Jaiden that she only accepts cash and that Jaiden has to call thirty minutes in advance to confirm the appointment, she's shown waving a red flag around.
  • Then, when Jaiden does call in advance, the psychic tells her that she forgot about the appointment and asks if they can reschedule. Like with Chihaya being late, Jaiden questions how it's possible for a psychic to forget she had an appointment.
  • Jaiden then ends up having to reschedule three times — first because of the aforementioned forgetting, then because the psychic had another appointment booked on the same day, and finally because the psychic forgot… again. It's at that point that Jaiden just gives up.
    Jaiden: TELL ME HOW MANY KIDS I'M GONNA HAVE!

My First Time Playing Dungeons & Dragons

• One of the anectdotes about Dungeons & Dragons that Jaiden mentions someone telling her is about how they used charisma to seduce an ogre.
• Slimecicle acts as the Dungeon Master and is rendered as a humanoid slime monster in a hood.
• Jacob's character, Paul, is an apathetic expy of Larry who works at "Ye Old Mart of Wal", is a widower with a missing son (Paul Jr.) and hates his boss Mark. Jaiden's character, Zoot, doesn't know how to react to this.
• Ranboo's character, Tholomew, claims to be in a time loop caused by their neighbor, Thompson. When they try to prove it by predicting something that will happen next, Slimecicle rolls a die in the background.
• Luap the sheep (formerly a human before being transformed)'s entrance.
• When Zoot equips a turtle, Paul tries to do the same, only to be somehow mauled by a mountain lion. Zoot tries to make it up to him by letting him name the turtle, which he names "Paul Jr.".
• The entire escapade with the Riddle Door.
  • His first riddle is "The alphabet goes from A to Z, but I go from Z to A. What am I?" Paul suggests "the alphabet backwards" and is turned into a zebra as a punishment. Turns out "zebra" was the right answer.
  • On the third riddle, Zoot asks the Door to use the answer to the riddle in a sentence like a spelling bee. The Door's response is to tell them that they're "not going to WORM their way out of this one". Paul points out the obvious answer, while Zoot asks Paul Jr., who predictably says "turtle". Zoot almost picks that, only for Paul and Tholomew to stop them and say "worm" instead, granting them all access.
• The group enters a room full of pieces of clay on little platforms. The Riddle Door returns, telling them that they should "make whatever they like" in order to proceed. Zoot responds by throwing a dagger in the Door's eye.
  Door: AAUGH! Dude! Fine, I'm not helping you with this one!
  • For some reason, the party initially tries eating the clay. This ends up resetting the puzzle, rendering their efforts pointless.
  • When they finally just do the damn puzzle, Paul makes a penguin, Zoot a worm and Tholomew a crown. Then the clay creations all turn into giant monsters and attack them.
  • Zoot's worm monster shouting "IT'S WORMIN' TIME!" and worming all over the dungeon. No, we are not making that up, that actually happens in the video.
• The goblins... just... the goblins. Especially The Peeler.
• Tholomew's attempts at communicating with the goblins through improvised sign language.
• When the party enters the final chamber and take the wand, they end up throwing Luap at it, described as Paul "So Long, Gay Bowser"-ing the sheep.
• The final boss turns out to be... Mark Thompson! Both Paul's boss AND Tholomew's neighbor. Who it turns out did not actually curse Tholomew to be in a time loop, they just falsely accused him of it because they hate him. This in turn led to his wife and son leaving him. That said, Mark still mistreats Paul just... because.
  • Zoot uses a spell on Mark by screaming "DEPRESSION!" at him. Mark promptly becomes too depressed to fight.
  • Zoot disguises themself as Mark's wife and hugs him, then looks deeply into his eyes... and acid blasts him in the face. Tholomew and Slimecicle both burst out laughing, while Paul gapes in horror at the sight.
  • After Tholomew blasts Mark Thompson with the wand, Mark weakly tries to ask Paul "Would you still let me be your manager, even if I was a-" only to suddenly transform into a worm mid-sentence. Paul puts him in a jar and tells him "You're fired" immediately after.
• After Luap is restored to his human form, they discover that he was actually Paul Jr. the whole time. Both Zoot and Tholomew are surprised they didn't figure it out sooner, since "Luap" is just "Paul" backwards.

I caved and tried Genshin Impact.

• The reason Jaiden tried Genshin Impact in the first place, is that the creators behind Genshin Impact (represented by a man in a fancy suit with the company logo for a head) reached out to her and essentially sponsered her to play the game.
• When she asks if her parents are proud of her for getting her first sponser, her parents, who were listening in from her bedroom door, promptly leave. Jaiden begs them to come back, almost sounding panicked.
• A Jaidenized version of MatPat in his infamous stock pose makes a cameo when Jaiden talks about the game's theory potential.

My Birds Laid Eggs...

• Jaiden has an Imagine Spot of Tofu and Ari not getting along that includes Ari taking a massive dump on Tofu's head before the two conures start brawling, which she calls "some kind of bird drama or something".
• The "let the birds have limited sightings of each other" stage of introducing them is represented by Ari spotting Tofu from across a crowded restaurant.
• Jaiden's backup plan for Ari not liking Tofu was to get two more conures in hopes that they'd like each other more.
• As Jaiden says nothing bad could possibly happen when two animals get along well, an X button with "Doubt" next to it fades into view.
• Jaiden is dismayed to find out that Tofu laid a clutch of eggs, as it's essentially the "get four birds total if the first two hate each other" scenario all over again. This is accentuated by Jaiden recreating the "Shinji sitting in a chair" meme.
• Examples of Ari being a bastard include literally biting the hand that feeds him, squaring up with a pair of boxing gloves, and robbing a bank. Jaiden reaches into the split-screen to grab bank robber Ari, who gives her an "Oh, Crap!" Smile in response.
• Jaiden says taking care of birds requires so much energy, having any more would result in her "unlocking alcoholism", which is represented by a video game achievement titled as such in the corner of an image of Jaiden passed-out drunk while surrounded by conures (and Ari chugging a bottle).
• Jaiden is initially confused about why Tofu laid eggs at all, as she's ensured that there's nothing in the conures' room that resembles a nest. She eventually figures out that Tofu and Ari made a nest for themselves by chewing a massive hole in the back of a wooden drawer used to store bird supplies. One comment recalled Ari's fascination with drawers and wondered if Ari had been playing the long con.
• Jaiden says there aren't many medical means of preventing birds from laying eggs aside from hormone injections or "other stuff". The "other stuff" is represented by a power drill that a conure is looking at with alarm.
• Jaiden's bafflement at the suggestions of how to dispose of the eggs — either freezing them, smashing them or boiling them, the last one being the most evil sounding in her eyes, rounded out by an Imagine Spot of a Mad Scientist Jaiden with a Slasher Smile as she drops the eggs in, while Tofu and Ari watch and the latter one faints.
• The Running Gag of Jaiden questioning Ari's gender, even after confirming that the eggs were Tofu's.
  Jaiden: "Are you the father?" More like "Is there even a father?!"
• As Jaiden says that she becomes "the biggest hater" whenever someone asks her if birds are good pets, Tofu and Ari use their wings to visually say "No": Tofu with a "thumbs down" gesture and Ari Flipping the Bird.

Pokémon Sent Me to Japan!

• Jaiden practically exploding when the Pokémon Company (represented by Ball Guy) invites her to Japan.
• The Running Gag of Jaiden always getting on the wrong train in Japan continues here. She even says that this is not going to change.
• Jaiden's growing obsession with Chiikawa, to the point she got kicked out of a gacha store. Her obsession was so bad that when Alpharad showed her a photo he took, all she saw was Chiikawa and did not realize that it was a photo of her surrounded by Chiikawa merchandise while on her downward spiral. Her obsession is portrayed as her being in an imaginary alcoholics anonymous group. To make matters worse, at the gacha store, just before she's kicked out, she starts pleading with the clerk, sounding like a chronic gambler insisting that the next spin will win them the jackpot. Considering that the clerk only spoke Japanese and Jaiden spoke English, this scared the clerk so badly they pressed a silent alarm to kick Jaiden out!
  Jaiden: (standing on a chair while the others look at her worriedly) THIS IS HOW I AM! Now either stand by me or leave. No, I don't need an intervention — (tears down the INTERVENTION banner above her head) — put it away!
• The Running Gag of Jaiden and Jacob needing to buy more, and more, AND MORE suitcases to hold all the stuff they kept buying. They even hang a lampshade on how they don't have a lot of self-control. Jaiden and Jacob bought so much merchandise that they ended up bringing eight suitcases and four backpacks back to America.
• Jaiden representing how long One Piece is by slamming a manga to someone's face then pulling a rope, resulting in the poor person pelted with a downpour of manga. Also her annoyance with how a dedicated store only had Mihawk stickers and keychains.
• In a Q&A with Atsuski Nagashima (Game Director of Pokémon TCG), a fan comes up to question why there were so few cards of his favorite Pokémon, Mantyke (as in, only two cards^note A footnote says that more were made later on). When Atsuski pulls up the TCG database, he's surprised to find out the fan was right. He then admits that most of the time they just make cards out of his favorites, specifically Gengar. Jaiden then notes This Explains So Much as a pan of all the Gengar cards made appears behind Atsuki.
• At a manga store, a young boy mistakes Alpharad for Sanji. Becomes a Brick Joke later when Jacob gets soaked and his hair ends up suspiciously resembling Sanji's.
  • It's even funnier if you watched Jacob's video about the trip, wherein he reveals he had no idea that's what the kid was referencing — he apparently thought he was being insulted! (to be fair, the mother's flustered reaction and hasty apology probably explains that part)
• On their travels they met up with their friend Conner, who wanted to take them to his favorite Italian restaurant. Jaiden asks Conner if the restaurant is quote en quote 'fancy Italian' which Conner rather coyly says "No." They go to the place called Orange Orchard, and then they spot that Junichi Masuda, the director of Game Freak, is having dinner there! Jaiden immediately rounds on Conner, mainly due to the fact that she's wearing a FNAF meme t-shirt.
  Jaiden: Not a fancy Italian restaurant my ass!
• Jaiden passed by a live show with Mario characters who suddenly whipped out water pistols and started soaking the audience.
• By the time Jacob and Jaiden made it to the Nintendo Land section of Universal Studios Japan it was 9pm, this is shown by the two of them being confronted by a bunch of dry bones and boos as they enter. Jaiden then notes that she and Jacob got up at 6AM before going there, they then simply get on the yoshi themed ride (which isn't in the US), Jaiden says that by itself makes it better than the Universal Studios in the United States.
• Jaiden points out that even though she grew up in Arizona, it was hot in Japan! This is shown with Jaiden spontaneously combusting while waiting in line for the Jurassic Park style splash mountain, or Jaiden and her friends melting whenever Jaiden mentions how hot it was.
• Jaiden and Jacob go to Tokyo Disneyland in Japan; thing is, as Jaiden later found out, there were two Disney theme parks in Japan, Disneyland and Disneysea, and they just so happened to pick what is universally considered the worse out of the two of them.
• Jaiden accidentally steals Daidus' Chiikawa-themed umbrella. She then frantically texts Emily who was with Daidus at the time that she accidentally stole the umbrella, they just let her keep it since Jaiden was leaving soon anyways. Jacob doesn't let her live that one down the entire trip back to the hotel.
  • Jacob's side-eye and Jaiden's flustered little "Shut up!" gives off major "bickering sibling" energy that's both funny and adorable.

Subathon 2022

• When playing OMORI, Jaiden took great pains to keep the message, "Don't forget, it's in the toybox," in mind. To that end, Jaiden later had Sunny run back home to try and inspect the toybox before checking in on Basil. This led to her getting what most players considered the worst ending in the game.
• Jaiden's VTuber model comes with various expressions. This includes heart eyes which she says she'll never use. While demonstrating, she turns on the heavy blush, the heart eyes, and the tear effect, giving her a very lovey-dovey face which she humorously finds unsettling and tries to turn it off as soon as possible. Recall how in two separate videos Jaiden expresses her lack of interest in romance.
  • Her VTuber model also comes with a face accurate to her usual animation style, which ends up looking really creepy.
  • The model itself also ended up inaccurate to Jaiden, because it was made before she got her second arm tattoo which didn't reflect on the model.
• When Jaiden was asleep, the chat controlled a game of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, which ends up pretty much as expected. It would eventually take a Level 100 Azumarill to finally get the win.
• At one point, Jaiden and Anthony Padilla were asked by Minecraft YouTuber Fundy to log into the game and take care of a virtual baby for him. As he later revealed, said baby was deliberately programmed to be as much of an Enfante Terrible as possible, and Jaiden and Anthony end up as Badly Battered Babysitters trying to keep it from causing too much property damage. It ends with the baby falling into the void and Jaiden and Anthony telling Fundy he went off to college.
