Chris: WHY DOES IT LOOK SO SCARY!?
- Dentist Robot Malfunctions, becomes aware kind of the most terryfing video on the channel. The video shows a robot girl who screams very loudly. This robot evokes uncanny valley because of its movements, scream of agony, very wide mouth, eyes and mechanical sounds.
- The stingers for both Crash Bandicoot 2 series contain some frightening moments.
- Part 2, series one: an almost-subliminal image of Crash zapping around the frame.
- Part 3, series two: Crash body-slams the ground and leaves a bloody mark.
- Part 7: a Japanese commercial for the game with Crash dancing, where a voice screams at the end.
- Part 8: a promotional video for the game with Crash, with a sudden musical sting when he yells, "Ha!"
- Part 10: footage from the Rugrats in Paris game, except there's creepy music and Chuckie's chortling keeps getting louder.
- Part 12: Crash body-slams through a bonus-stage door on the ground, and falls through oblivion.
- Part 16: a Pizza Hut tie-in commercial, where a man in a Crash costume shouts "EAT THE FUCKING PIZZA!!" at some customers.
- Part 17: another Japanese commercial, where a model of Crash has his skin and eyeballs explode off of him, his mouth becoming a real human's mouth.
- In part 1 of Mario Artist: Paint Studio, after goofing around with Mario Artist by adding horror elements to a drawn Nostalgia Critic, which is already creepy, but also Nightmare Retardant since the "creepy" elements are just cliché creepypasta tropes like bleeding eyes, but when Ding Dong starts spamming the blur tool, the Critic gets an increasingly creepy face that's getting worse with each application of the blur tool (see above).
- Episode 5 of Super Mario 64 Multiplayer has an edited scene of Mario struggling to escape from quicksand, with the screen gradually growing darker and ominous music playing in the background.
- The final episode of the
Pokémon Red let's play, where they decide to catch MissingNo. Things start off pretty standard, with the boys having their usual banter as they play the game. Then comes the second half of the video, which is a nightmarish, glitchy mess with the entire video itself glitching out and distorted, echoed voices in the background instead of any commentary. The whole thing comes off as a video game version of Candle Cove.- Though some Nightmare Retardant exists if you listen closely; at one point, among the echoed voices in the background, you can hear Ding Dong ask, "What the heck is this?" followed by "Is this a creepypasta, is that what we're doing?" Other users have also pointed out that many of the echoed voices is actually just the infamous Hitler Clone Argument, reversed and garbled.
- Ding Dong's Pizza Guy Story in American Truck Simulator is an extreme case of Paranoia Fuel. Basically, a Pizza Delivery Guy who was unsatisfied with the tip Ding Dong gave intentionally ruined their pizza. Naturally, the two sent in a complaint about it, and they found that the delivery guy had received multiple complaints despite being a new employee. The two avoided ordering pizza from that place for two months. When they did order pizza from there again, not only is it the same Delivery Guy, but he's still bitter about their last encounter. He asks Ding Dong to open the box and inspect it, to which he sees nothing wrong with it. Just when it seems like Ding Dong is being paranoid by saying he didn't trust the pizza, they then revealed that they actually did all experience a severe stomach flu the day after eating the pizza, with them all waking up to feeling nauseous and having diarrhea.
- Given the symptoms described, it's likely that the pizza was spiked with laxative. The entire Oney Plays gang was the victim of felony assault for a supposedly lousy tip.
- Although Chris himself isn't too bothered about it, the fact that he ate ice cream with sirtom93 (a Newgrounds user who became infamous for attempting to burn down his school with gasoline, which was only prevented by the fact that he publicly posted about it on the forums, letting another user warn the police who were able to stop him before he could do any harm) can be rather disturbing to imagine from his perspective; one moment you're spending some time with a friend, only to find out some time later that they snapped with barely any warning or reason and tried to go on a rampage.
- A minor example is the artpiece they used for the thumbnails of their Kingdom Hearts II playthrough. It has Chris and Ding Dong cosplaying Sora and Donald Duck respectively, but Julian as Goofy is depicted as Julian's head and a single arm merged with the nose of a deformed version of Goofy who has nipples for eyes, with Ding Dong understandably disturbed at him.
- Another thumbnail related example is the one used for Mario Artist: Paint Studios, which depicts Chris, Julian and Ding Dong, all trapped inside of a painting with horrified looks on their faces by a really weird and ugly looking Mario with a... very disturbing expression of glee on his face.
- Really, any thumbnail drawn by Chris is bound to have some Body Horror or Nightmare Face.
- In a video Chris recounts a story of an Italian man (who he called Giuseppe) who moved into his home town of Wexford and through charisma and the intrigue of being a foreigner in an otherwise typical Irish town managed to become something of a local celebrity. Hosting and being a big part of town-wide events and even getting interviewed on the radio just because people wanted to know more about him. The horror comes in when it was revealed that Giuseppe was doing all this in order to scam everyone in town out of their money by being so likeable that they wouldn't hesitate to lend him money and simply not paying anyone back. By the time someone decided to look into it Giuseppe had managed to swindle thousands of euros from countless townsfolk. As soon as the jig was up Giuseppe fled town leaving his wife behind presumably to repeat the scam somewhere else. The idea of a stranger coming in and using sheer charisma to deceive and steal from everyone is a terrifying thought. Especially since Chris said he tried to run for Mayor meaning this scam artist was close to being in an actual position of local government.
- The scariest part is this is confirmed to be a true story as the newspaper The Irish Independent ran a story on 'Giuseppe' fulfilling his promise to jump in a river if his favourite football team won
which Chris included as part of the story.

- The "Talk to AI" videos push the channel's Black Comedy to it's absolute limit, where the boys revel in talking to AI Characters and subjecting them to as much abuse as possible with prompts they can't refuse. While most of the series is par for the course with the channel's sense of humor, some of the situations push the content into genuinely disturbing scenarios, particularly in how gruesome the AI's descriptions become and how distressed the characters get, such as:
- Tricking Tifa into getting painful cosmetic surgery and trapping her in a dungeon.
- Ripping off Sonic The Hedgehog's skin and throwing him into a dumpster with salt and broken glass.
- Forcing Squidward to recall being sexually assaulted by his friends before being held down and force fed liquid aphrodisiac.
- Giving Shadow the Hedgehog a serum that makes him feral with lust, to the point where the boys typing in Rouge's disinterest in his behavior doesn't dissuade the AI causing him to almost rape her before the boys interject and have a squad of GUN agents intervene. After that, they strand him for years on a planet made entirely out of feces and urine, and then give him a hope spot of escape, only to then abandon him to suffer eternally in the heat of the sun.
- Burying Tommy Pickles (a baby) in so much ketchup that he passes out from a lack of oxygen while his friends and family are either missing or dead in a further deluge (with the editor putting in Stu's memetic scream from the "Chocolate Pudding" episode in the background as Tommy elaborates).AI Squidward: No! Stop please! Please don't do this I don't want to feel like this!
- One episode of the Sonic Unleashed series has Chris, Cory and Dave talk about times in their life they got bullied. Dave’s story has him causally mention that one of his teammates on the middle-school soccer team he was on broke his arm and he had to stop playing soccer, but that’s not the worst part. It turns out that said bully ended up accidentally prevented Dave from getting molested alongside the rest of the soccer team.
