Mega Man's iconic catchphrase.
  • #JammyTheYokaiFan, aka James' Yo-kai Watch parody of Sammy Classic Sonic Fan.
  • "ASS, is it safe to eat?", which is demonstrated by the Lucario and Jibanyan plushies in a rather intimate position.
  • James finding out that, in the 2017 Bubsy video game, the highest level of the Bubsy Verbosity Meter setting is simply referred to as "Bubsy".
  • From the ''Rayman 3" review.
    Murphy: See you in Rayman 4!
    James: (threateningly) How dare you tease me like that!
  • In his video on 10 hilariously bad video game songs, the dance he does to the theme for the UFO ending in Silent Hill is amazing.
    • Then there is the part where he mocks a song from Quest64.
    James: I beat this game. I didn't have fun. Ffffffffffffu-"
  • While playing Forbidden Siren 2, James runs into the new enemy type of the game, the Yamibito, which are Body Horror personified. One of them is merely a giant head on top of a wormlike body. Upon seeing it, he immediately pulls the game out of his console, throws it in the garbage bin and runs away.
  • When James is told he's going to review the 2003 video game Whiplash, he immediately confuses it with the 2014 movie Whiplash. Cue him playing drums.
    Brady: WRONG WHIPLASH!!!
  • In his review of Clock Tower: Ghost Head, Practically frustrated by the constantly respawning zombies and using up all of the objects save for the respawning fire extinguishers several rooms away, On two occasions he walks into a room mid review to be met with a Zombie resulting in an irritated scream from him. The footage then speeds up showing Alyssa running back several rooms with the zombies following her to the fire extinguisher, both with Grant Kirkthorp's music playing. Bonus points that the point where Alyssa bonks the zombies with the extinguisher are in time to the music.
    James: Ya'll got played like a damn fiddle... bitch.
  • In the Bomberman Hero review, he mentions a Recurring Boss named Nitros and is then repeatedly physically pelted with comments, and he looks down at the floor to see a pile of two messages over and over.
    extremely unfunny youtube commenter: but was it nitros RAD?
    extremely unfunny youtube commenter: but was it NITROS rad?!???
    James: (Looking to the camera and giving a thumbs-up) Good... joke, guys.
  • In his review of Kao the Kangaroo, James discovers how they get around Kao not having to breathe underwater; Kao's neck extends relative to the body of water's floor so that his head is always above the surface. James, meanwhile, is rendered breathless by this and has to stop for a moment to regain his composure.
  • When James finally defeats the Woolly Queens in Bubsy 3D, he drops his controller and raises his arms in triumph. And then he falls backwards, knocking down one of his wallscrolls in the process.
    • Realizing that he's seen the Bad Ending for not collecting all the rockets, he uses codes to acquire them. When it turns out that the Good Ending isn't much better:
    James: (looking extremely tired) I got all the rockets, but the future refused to change. That's it, that's Bubsy 3D, beginning to end.
  • The Rayman Arena video that crosses over with AntDude features a few potshots at each other. By the end the video, they had fun.
    Ant: Alright, James. Admit it. We're best friends now!
    James: Okay okay, don't push your luck, "Ant-Man". Or I'm gonna send Thanos's butthole after you.
  • A skit in the Haunting Ground video when James talks about the alternate costumes, involving a recreation of the confrontation between Eddie and James (Sunderland) with the latter in a Lucario costume.
    Eddie: Have I gone nuts? Have you gone nuts?
  • The Frogger: The Great Quest review is a gem. Mostly because the game pretty much writes the humor by itself.
    • "Lumpy the Toad looks... I don't like Lumpy the Toad."
    • The following line earns quite a critique from James:
      Frogger: "I wish I may, I wish I must, find a princess before I bust!"
      James: "... Whoever wrote that line should go to prison."
    • The fact that the game treats the plot point that Frogger is immortal as another day at the office completely takes James by surprise.
    • James runs across a bug and expects Frogger to eat it like a frog would...you know, with his tongue. So he pushes the button to eat it, and is immediately horrified when Frogger leaps at the bug, scoops it up with both hands and loudly crunches it down like he's never eaten food in days. The look on his face is priceless.
      James: Is he a frog, or a goddamn gremlin from Hell?!
    • Constantly fighting against the swimming controls just to pick up a coin. You know, one of the most fundamentally basic actions of a platforming game?
    • His reactions to enemies that say a very casual "hello" when they first spot you, and another that flies up to him in a T-pose.
    • And finally, after he confesses that he's been clowning on the game the whole time, he says that he wants to at least mention some good about the game due to his optimistic tone...only to realize even he can't find anything redeeming about the game.
  • In his review of Starshot, James notes how harsh the Galactic Bank's punishment for not repaying a debt within a time limit is and wonders what it would be like if the IRS did the same thing. Smash Cut to Brady opening the front door, where James comes to collect a debt.
    James: You have ten days. *straps a bomb to Brady*
    Brady: *clearly distraught* Huh?
  • This part from his Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius video
    Jimmy: I have a feeling [the Yolkian ship] will be the toughest area yet.
    • Any time James snarks at Jimmy picking up the Idiot Ball.
      Jimmy: (Picking up a collectible) Mmm... candy bar!
      James: No, Jimmy, that's not a candy bar, that's candy in a jar.
      "IQ: 0" is overlaid over a picture of Jimmy.

      Jimmy: We gotta do something to protect the village before we're all ash!
      James: Yes, Jimmy, let's save the village... by killing all the poor people who live here, great plan. What kind of Brain Blast was that, are you on crack again?!
  • From his review of the HD remaster of Ty 2, where he once against calls the character of Maurie a pigeon. This causes the YouTuber Square Eyed Jak, an actual Australian (and in full crocodile hunter gear), hurtling insults at him for not realizing Maurie is a cockatoo. Not only does he disregard James stating he's from Nova Scotia and doesn't know Australian wildlife, he also insults him for thinking Boss Cass is an ostrich, when he's clearly named after his species, a cassowary.
  • The Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer review has James go on a somber, mindful tangent about the level design... which ends with a perfectly cut scream of Zane falling down a bottomless pit.
  • The review for Blue Stinger is chock full of funny reactions.
    • James repeatedly breaking down during silly moments in the intro while trying to dramatically recap what happened.
      • Tim getting hit by the forcefield results in a badly placed bulge effect over his face, leading James to mimic the scene himself with an energetic "WHOAAA!!!" and an equally silly bulge effect of his own.
      • Enjoying Elliot's immediate reaction to Nephilim being to point a gun in its face.
    • James' tonal whiplash from Elliot beginning to turn into a monster, sadly pointing out Elliot agreeing when Dog offers to Mercy Kill him, which leads to an extremely shocked:
      James: "THIRTY MINUTES TO LIVE?! We need to find an antidote! Is there one in here?"
      Cut to Elliot taking a piss in a pond.
      James: (Immediately loses all emotion). "No, he just pees."
