While they're clearly either jerks or naughty kids that needed to be taught a lesson, some of the revenge and pranks the heroes give the villains make it seem as if they're just as bad as their attacker(s), or worse.


  • Some of the punishments and prank lessons naughty kid Mikey gets can be a bit too much sometimes. This includes the excessive major punishments he, and Jay, get for merely skipping one class in one episode, the terrifying hospital prank his mother and teacher made him endure just to make him admit that he lied about having a peanut allergy, getting grounded for the entire summer because he used a cheating website his teacher designed for his final exam (which is technically entrapment) and the Janitor randomly snitching on him when he cheated on a test, embarrassing him in front of his classmates and ruining his chances of going to Legoland.
    • In "Kid Fakes Broken Arm To Skip Test" there's also the fact that he got in trouble with his mom anyway with the scheme he did with Jay when the latter's mom simply could've just let him off with a warning or a scolding.
    • Ironically enough, while both Jay and Mikey got in trouble together for their scheme in the Broken Arm episode, in another episode, "Mean Lady Destroys Gender Reveal", Elliot was much as an antagonist as Patty was, as he blackmailed and later on exposed her while seemingly enjoying all the drama without suffering any consequences. This is most likely due to Mikey's status as a naughty kid who always gets caught.
  • Ella and Myla, the titular sisters from "Sisters Fight Over New iPhone 13" are meant to come across as spoiled brats who need to appreciate what they have. However, their complaints about wanting new phones aren't unwarranted, as Ella's phone is shown to be broken to the point where it glitches up while she and Myla are making a Tik Tok. Their parents also come across as condescending in their frequent lectures about how they didn't have the same things their daughters have, making it understandable why the girls are so frustrated by them.
  • Ironically, Mila Nabours (the actress who plays Myla in "Sisters Fight Over New iPhone 13") plays a similar character in "14-Year-Old Runs Away From Home." Some of Sarah's actions are admittedly bratty, such as getting mad about not being allowed to use her phone at the dinner table and lying to try and get $40 from her father. But when it comes to her not being allowed to go out with her friends, Sarah has some room to be upset. With it not being a school night, Sarah's mother not letting her go because of her "no going out on weekdays" rule just comes off as her being needlessly strict.
  • Kayla from "Girl Hates Her Mom's Boyfriend". We're supposed to see her in the wrong as she's stated to be judging Jim too quick and is accusing him of cheating based off one phone call. Except that there's the fact that Jim doesn't explain who the mysterious woman is to her, and how her mom is being unnecessarily harsh to her while taking her boyfriend's side instead of her own daughter. The scene where her mom guilt-trips her into not ruining her relationship with Jim just serves to make Kayla even more sympathetic.
  • Cathy from "Stepmom Accuses Son of Selling Drugs." We're meant to think she was overreacting throughout the whole video and shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about her stepson Kevin. But all things considered, it's hard not to understand why she came to such suspicions. She found an inordinate amount of money hidden under Kevin's mattress, saw Kevin coming home late for several nights with bloodshot eyes, and also saw him meeting up with some guy in an alleyway to receive a package. Cathy learning that a friend's son (who showed the same red flags as Kevin according to the friend) was recently caught selling drugs, being stressed out from having lost her job, and is terrified about the prospect of being right about him being involved in drugs only makes her more sympathetic. It almost comes across that she cares about his well-being more than her supposedly more reasonable husband Roger, who dismisses his wife's concerns about his son as nonsense and doesn't bother to go to Kevin about what Cathy suspects he's doing.
  • Brittney from "Babysitter Abandons The Child." Despite what the title implies, Brittney (as irresponsible as she is) never actually abandons Carla while babysitting her. She actually takes her to the mall with her when she wants to attend a clothing sale as opposed to leaving the girl alone. She becomes truly sympathetic, however, when she learns that Carla's "kidnapping" was actually just an elaborate setup orchestrated by her father to "teach her a lesson in responsibility." While Brittney did break her father's rules, it doesn't justify him terrorizing her by making her think her sister was being held for ransom by a dangerous criminal. Brittney getting upset at her dad for scaring her like that is treated like she's "putting the blame on him," when in truth, she has every right to be furious that her father would put her through such an ordeal.
    • This continues in the sequel video "Babysitter Loses Kid At The Park." While Britney starts out dismissive of Carla, she's more concerned with Carla's safety than the last time, even if she is a tad rude. She immediately starts looking for Carla when she thinks she's gone missing at the mall and was willing to confront who she believed to be a stranger (they turn out to be Carla's teacher) to keep her sister safe. Plus, when Carla gets kidnapped, Brittney has EVERY reason to assume it's another setup by her father due to how similar the circumstances are to happened before. When it turns that Carla really has been kidnapped, her father scolds Brittney for being irresponsible and not taking her job seriously, even though it was his actions that led her to assume Carla's kidnapping was just another scheme he cooked up, making it infuriating when her father has the gall to say he "wouldn't do anything like this." Britney only gets a Pet the Dog moment when her sister confesses.
  • George from "Dad Wakes Up From A 10-Year Coma". While George really shouldn't have gone or attempted to drink and drive, he was still the victim of his wife gaslighting him into thinking he was in a coma caused by his drunk driving which killed his daughter. With all the emotional damage his wife could've caused him if they let the scheme go on a little longer it's a wonder that no one ever acknowledged her gaslighting of him.
  • Charlotte from "Dad Abandons Wife and Teenager." While she's not presented as a full-on antagonist per se, the video still paints Charlotte as being in the wrong for getting so angry about her ex-husband Sam neglecting their daughter Amelia in favor of the children he had with his second wife. However, throughout the video, Sam is shown to be incredibly callous and apathetic towards Amelia. His only interaction with her when he runs into her and Charlotte at the mall is to give her a halfhearted "Happy Birthday" before walking off with his children. He's also revealed to have never paid child support to Charlotte, leaving her to struggle financially (to the point where Amelia talks about getting a job to help her out as soon as she can) while he treats his children to doughnuts and then presents them with a new PlayStation 5. Just because Amelia has accepted that her father doesn't want to be a part of her life doesn't mean her struggling mother doesn't have a right to be angry that her callous ex-husband has no interest in being a part of their daughter's life or provide her with any kind of financial aid.
  • Mark from "Nerds Gets Revenge On Cool Teens", specifically at the end. While using Anna, and later on, other girls to get good grades is a bad thing to do, what Anna does to him to get her revenge is arguably worse than what he did to her. She randomly exposes his scheme to the other girls to get him to fail so he wouldn't be able to play football, and sends his girlfriend Amber a voice recording of him flirting with her and asking her out on a date. Thus, effectively ruining his academic and social life. Simply because he used her crush on him to get an "A" on one little school project. The narration near the end shows that he didn't go on to bully her over the summer nor was he as harsh to her when his friends were picking on her, just quietly going along with the other two. And while he initially dated Amber for her looks, he seemed to have genuinely bonded with her in the montage as well. Yet Anna focuses all her revenge on just him, instead of all three. This Tumblr user goes into detail as to how problematic the ending and message of this storyline was. There's also the fact that the teacher outright compared him to another student, which is not exactly a good thing for a teacher to do.
  • Jess from "Girl Fakes Who She is For a Guy." While not presented as a full-on villain, we're supposed to share in Carly and Brielle's disdain for her due to her flirting with Carly's crush Lucas. However, apart from interrupting Carly and Lucas's conversation to get the latter to help her throw a basketball, she doesn't do anything particularly worthy of hate. Not helping is how judgmental Carly and Brielle come across when referring to Jess as a "helpless Girly Girl." While her later attempts to get Lucas's attention are admittedly cringey, they're nowhere near as bad as what Carly does when she decides to pretend to be girly to get Lucas to like her. But in the end, Carly still gets rewarded with Lucas asking her out while Jess is ignored by Lucas, with Brielle kicking Jess's booksnote  is treated as a well-deserved Take That! moment to Carly's snobby love rival. In reality, it just comes across as a Kick the Dog moment to a girl whose only real crime was being interested in a Dhar Mann protagonist's crush and being a little overzealous in trying to get their attention.
  • Jacob near the end of "Employee Fakes Sick To Skip Work". While it was very wrong of him to lie to his boss about his grandmother passing away, the embarrassment he got at the restaurant when his lies were exposed was quite degrading to watch and the added bonus punishments afterwards were bit too much. After Nicole breaks up with him and he gets fired by his boss (which should be enough by then), the plot decides to punish him further by his grandma telling him that she's very disappointed in him and that she's going to tell his mom about the incident. Even though that's not exactly necessary to the plot. Then after that berating by his grandmother, when he finds out the next day that Arturo didn't get in trouble for helping him and got a promotion as well, he also overhears that his former boss planned to introduced the latter to Nicole. The fact that he seemed to actually like her during their date earlier, and that Arturo didn't seem to see no problem with going out with her after what Jacob told him didn't help matters.
  • Nicholas from "Kid Shamed For Learning Disability". While he was being unnecessarily harsh to Andre throughout the entire episode, what the teacher does to him to get him to understand Andre's disability is extremely unethical and some of his quips about the class lesson has some warrant to it. First off, while he was being rude about it both, he was technically telling Andre to stop tapping his pencil because it was distracting him, and was simply answering the teacher's question when Andre took too long.note  Then there's what Mr. Labrant does to him the next day to teach him a lesson. He basically berates, humiliates, and possibly gaslights Nicholas in front of the whole class by using various techniques that "simulates" learning disabilities, all while using Nicholas's earlier insults to Andre against the former. The fact that literally no one in the class says anything about this and even Andre himself seemed to have no problems with this makes the whole thing feel even worse.
  • Tim from "Guy Tries To Cheat On Driving Test." While it was wrong of him to cheat throughout the entire driving test, try to bribe the driving instructor Lance into letting him pass regardless, and to bump Mr. Howe's car without telling him, the punishment he gets in the end is pretty much Karmic Overkill. He gets arrested simply for the cheating, and while he did bump a car, nobody was actually injured during it, yet everyone acts as if he hit a pedestrian. Then, Paul snitches to his dad about stealing his car (which was wrong but still,) and instead of trying to reason with his son his father practically disowns him and says that he hopes Tim stays in jail for a very long time. All the while, Paul shows no remorse whatsoever for making things worse for his friend just because Tim did not pay him the rent money (despite the fact that Tim had planned to if he had gotten a certain job he wanted that required a license). All of that punishment, simply because of cheating on a test, and a collision that didn't even injure anyone or destroy the other car that much.
  • The titular mom from "MOM Puts ONE CHILD Over Other." While she was quite harsh towards Kimmy by disallowing her to go out to dinner with her and Michelle while also confiscating the laptop Kimmy needed for school, it's hard to place her in the wrong for being much tighter on Kimmy than Michelle as Kimmy's grades are mentioned to be so bad to the point she's about to be expelled from the school she goes to. Not helping is the fact that Kimmy does not take a single note while studying and actively puts drawing over her schoolwork while also failing tests.
  • Jeremy from “Magician RIPS OFF His CUSTOMERS“ Yes, it was uncool of him to steal his customer’s watches and not come clean to either Melvin or one of his victims’s son (the pawn shop owner) or visiting cop about it. Some of his punishments seem a little too cruel, mainly because he only wanted to go to MagiCon and was worried they wouldn’t be able to with the little money him and Melvin make. First, he does eventually get found out and arrested by a visiting cop once his first victim is revealed to be the pawn shops owner’s mom, and gets sentenced to six months in prison, which was well deserved. However, during his sentence, Melvin visits him at the end and reveals he went to MagiCon after he rehearsed more and improved his tricks. Then their idol Julius Dein calls him via Facetime, and informs him that his travel to NYC had already been paid for. Dein asks Melvin for another magician. But Melvin says he doesn’t know anybody right in front of Jeremy’s face, and when Jeremy tries to confront him on that, Melvin claims to leave to go practice. To top it all off, Jeremy gets yelled at by a guard for literally simply slamming the phone in frustration and threatened with an extended sentence all for doing just that, despite the guard most likely seeing the entire interaction in the backgtound to know why he reacted like that.
  • Kenzie from "Little Sister Steals From Big Sister." While it was very wrong of her to steal her sister's bags to sell online and then ignore the buyer's calls and emails, what her sister Rachel and her mom both did to teach her a lesson wasn't really any better. She basically gets gaslighted into thinking she's going to jail for fraud while her mom and friend Nadia do nothing to help her case. Then, she gets handcuffed by the cop and is reduced to a crying mess, while again, her friend and her own mother ignore her pleas for help. Of course, this is when the plan was revealed, with Rachel and her mother finally revealing their scheme to Kenzie. Sure, Kenzie did hurt Rachel's feelings and disobeyed her mom, but traumatizing a family member to the point where they're in tears is practically just as bad. The cop, who's her mom's friend, having no problem traumatizing a child as part of this lesson scheme, just makes matters worse. Also adding insult to injury are the implication that there's some Parental Favoritism going on in this family, with Kenzie's mother favoring Rachel and being noticeably harsher with Kenzie.
  • Dallas from "Guy Dates Two Girls at Same School". Yes, he shouldn't have dated two girls at once multiple times (even if his date with Sarah and Olivia was unintentional), but what happened to him was far worse than what he did. Two girls he previously dated posted a TikTok about his deceptive ways and it didn't take long for it go viral. Not only did it ruin Dallas' chance with another girl, but his chances of getting married in the future are now dead zero due to the fact that any girl would now recognize him and immediately reject him as the video will most likely go viral all over the country.
  • Eddie in the ending of "Girls Get Revenge On Prankster". While it was wrong of him to trick Gwen and Kaitlin into doing his schoolwork for him instead of doing it himself, the fact that he quickly learns his lesson after they used his tricks against him and was actually willing to admit failing class to his mom makes his additional punishment of his teacher ratting him out and his subsequent grounding a little sadder as, considering the above with his desperate attempts, at the end of the day, like Mikey and the other younger characters mentioned above, Eddie was just a kid who simply wanted to have fun and just so happened to do some bad things like kids usually do, and yet, still suffers dearly for it like everyone else. Furthermore, Eddie seemed to have genuinely regretted his earlier actions as again, he confessed to at least half of his actions to his mom.
  • Leon in "Kid Lies to Dad for PlayStation 5." While it was wrong to lie to his dad about doing his chores while having someone else do them, he did honor his agreement with Nate and gave him a cut of the money for his work. Upon finding out what his son had done, Leon's father gave the PlayStation to Nate instead and intends to punish Leon by having him actually do his chores himself. While that's a fair punishment for Leon's lies, he takes it a bridge too far by having Leon do this work without pay (considering Nate was getting paid by Leon to do his chores for him) and having Leon wash dishes at Nate's house after they go over to have dinner, with implications saying that Leon's father only accepted the dinner invitation so he could use the opportunity to punish Leon with more work.
  • Evan from "Teen Makes Fun of Deaf Kid in School". While his bullying of Nico is very unpleasant to watch, what his classmates plan to do to teach him a lesson is also unpleasant if it were to occur in real life: Two of his classmates somehow managed to get the entire school, staff and all to pretend like they can't understand him by having everyone speak in sign language and wear earplugs the entire day. This, in turn, is supposed to show him what it's like to walk in Nico's shoes. However, not only is this a form of gaslighting, but said scheme ends up getting so bad that Evan ends up having a big meltdown in front of the cafeteria when nobody wants to explain to him what's going on, which could lead to worse had the scheme not been revealed immediately after. Sure, Evan did deserve some comeuppance for how he treated Nico, but this type of plan isn't a great way to do so, as it could lead to some issues later on in the future. Said classmates treating the entire incident as if it were a funny prank and the school staff having no problem doing this type of psychological warfare to a single student makes the whole thing feel a lot more disturbing.
  • In "Kid Won't Show Mom Report Card", while Benny really shouldn't have forged his mom's signature or lied to Alicia, the ending still feels sour when his younger brother, rather than tell the girl to give Benny a chance or at least explain the situation willingly steals the latter's crush right in front of Benny's face. Also, his mom scolded him in public, right next to the teacher.
  • Tim from “Man Fakes His Resume To Get Job”. While it definitely was wrong of him to lie on his resume about being a general contractor and flood the whole apartment complex, some of the punishments he receives are a bit overboard in the video. First, he gets fired for not unclogging the toilet properly and flooding the whole building, then eventually does get exposed for his lie after Kathy finds out the contractor’s board doesn’t know his name and is implied to be going to jail for doing so (which should be plenty by then). However, the video decides to punish him further by having the flooded toilet water go into his room, wrecking his Bitcoin operation computers and causes the power in the whole building to go out when he tries to plug in the cord, which is still wet. After that, he tries to call his mom for help with both the Bitcoin computers and rent. She instead straight up disowns him and hangs up on him before he can even explain what happened, all while his friend Paul unsympathetically seems to tell him that his actions will have a way of coming back to him, making the whole comeuppance moment seem a bit overkill.
  • Elliot (different character) from "Kid Makes Teacher Quit Job". While his harassment towards his teacher Mr. Jasper is unacceptable in a school, his additional punishment by his mother at the end of the episode is not needed or necessary to the plot. Throughout the episode he, alongside his classmates, have to deal with Sadist Teacher Mr. Smiley, with Elliot getting the worst of it because of his attitude and pranks. Then, near the end, when Mr. Jasper returns, Elliot actually learns his lesson and improves his grades. Yet, despite it being a month after the prank, he still gets grounded by his mom, who, for some reason defends Mr. Smiley despite what he could've done to her son had the principal not came in on time. She also immediately accuses him of cheating when he shows her his passing grade. This heavily implies that his mother is just as bad as Mr. Smiley and that Elliot's naughtiness is a way for him to cope.
  • In "Babysitter Gets Revenge On Evil Kids", the babysitter, alongside the parents, plays a prank on the kids by exploiting the duo's fear of clowns up to the max. While the kids ruining the sitter and her boyfriend's relationship was really messed up, what they did to the two by traumatizing them wasn't any better. A bingo video by Jarvis Johnson calls out this situation.
  • Adam from "Kid Fakes As Smart For a Girl". The worst he's done throughout the video was to cheat on his exams and trick his crush Hayley into thinking that he's good at Chemistry, making her fail a test and nearly make an error during a class presentation. While that's not a good thing to do, his punishments until the end of the story gradually get worse once his teacher gets suspicious. First, he's revealed to have been cheating by his teacher in front of the class and Hayley, and now has to repeat said class next year, which is already enough of a punishment. However, Hayley gets extremely offended by his lies and refuses to forgive him, even making a joke about him to the class making everyone laugh, including the teacher, thus losing his crush in the process. Then, as if that's not enough, his mom locks him out of his car and outright tells him that she's selling his car and taking the money for herself and his father, leaving Adam with nothing. To top it off, she then abandons him in the school afterwards, leaving him to have to walk home.
  • Clarise from "Little Sisters Steal Bro's PlayStation 5." While she certainly shouldn't have staged a break-in and stolen her brother's video game console, she's still comparatively sympathetic when compared to Marcus and her father. Marcus is a sexist Big Brother Bully who refuses to share his PS5 due to thinking girls shouldn't play video games and, while his father does stand up for Clarise when Marcus is teasing her, still engages in behavior that suggests he favors his son over Clarise. He never punishes Marcus for bullying his sister, but when Clarise's scheme is revealed, he grounds her on top of having her clean up the mess she made. This is despite the fact that no permanent damage was done as a result of Clarise's faked break-in.
  • Ted in "Kid changes his grades by hacking". It was wrong for him to hack into the school network to change his grades of course, and he does at least get a seemingly fair punishment by reverting his grades back, a one-week suspension and forfeiting the prize money he won from the academic bowl. Plus he has to upgrade the Library's out-of-date computers to avoid expulsion and even arrest. However, the principal decides for the hell of it to make him upgrade pretty much every single computer in the school which would make the punishment last way longer than it should. To make matters worse, the bullies Ted made a deal with earlier to change their grades steal his birthday money as a "Refund", making him more dejected than he needed to be.
  • Brandy from “Little Sister Blackmails Big Brother”. It is without a doubt that blackmailing is the worst thing she has ever done. She threatens to tell Dominic’s mom about his bad grades if he doesn’t let her in the band, although Dominic is not in the right for hiding his report card. Soon enough, his mother found out about his grades. She was disappointed in him, and not helping the fact that Brandy is able to perform on stage, despite the latter had snitched on him. After an argument occurred on stage, their mother scolded both Dominic and Brandy for what they did and they are now grounded. But then their mother made a plan that she’ll also perform in a band, much to Dominic’s dismay.
  • Daniel from “Kid Tries To Kill Mom For iPhone14”. Although he didn’t actually kill his own mother, Daniel sets up a GoFundMe page for their mother’s funeral. Soon enough, his mother found out that Daniel had scammed everyone in order to have enough money for an iPhone14. As punishment for his actions, he has to work at the cemetery for the next six months after school, including summer break. While it’s understandable that Daniel’s mother had to teach his son a lesson, it’s still wrong of her to fake her own death.
  • Jordan from "Kid Caught Cheating in Live Audience". It is undeniable that it was not right to use Aimbots during a Call of Duty tournament, but his punishment was too extreme. He gets exposed after being forced to use someone else's laptop after his got destroyed by his soda and losing. Without the aim bots, everyone doubts his proficiency at the game and deem him a cheater. If that wasn't enough, a student Jordan made a deal with earlier rats him out to a bully, Terrance, for stealing his shoes (Which Terrance stole in the first place) for his cousin for the aimbots and pretty much gets beaten up in the end. No one helps him and agrees with one of Jordan's friends that he "Learned a lesson".
  • Jason from "Famous Chef Catches Cook Cheating". While he is undoubtedly a lazy jerk willing to sabotage his competition to win and needed to be knocked down a peg, what happens to him comes across as Disproportionate Retribution. When he asks to team up with Jenny, she (with no hesitation) agrees to team up with him to get Michael out of the contest. Later on, while he does trick her, he didn't technically cheat because she agreed to add the hot sauce to her dish rather than trust her own judgment regarding her dish. Worst of all is how, after Jason's already been exposed and ejected from the competition, the video ends with him presumably being beaten up by Jenny's vengeful father. While his actions were no doubt wrong, it doesn't justify an adult assaulting a minor.
  • Colin from "Kid Completes 100 Dares in 24 Hours." While he's clearly wrong to have been using Nate for his own amusement without any intention of paying him the money he promised, Nate still willingly agreed to all the challenges. Seeing as how many of those dares involved rule breaking or criminal behavior, Nate was just as responsible as Colin and shouldn't have been singled out for punishment. There's also the fact that he was afraid of Nate being beat up and warned him to get away after a dare was completed and was nice enough to decrease the dare amount. And much like with Jason from "Famous Chef Catches Cook Cheating," the video ends with Colin getting beaten up by someone much older and bigger than him while his "friends" mock his situation and do nothing to help him.
  • The titular Guy Best Friend from "Girlfriend Has Guy Best Friend, What Boyfriend Does Is Shocking." While it was selfish of him to immediately try to kiss his friend after she tells him about seemingly breaking up with her boyfriend just so he can get with her, the lead up and conclusion to the situation has a rather sour touch to it. Not only was she lying about breaking up, (with her boyfriend telling her to do so), but she also tells him that they could never be friends again. So in the end, despite his selfish motive to get with her once she's single, he ends up possibly permanently losing a friend/crush, and gets Locked Out of the Loop of what the other two planned, considering she that she never revealed to him that the breakup was fake after finding out how he truly feels, all the while possibly getting somewhat manipulated into confessing to her by the boyfriend's orders to her.
  • The titular mother from "Mom Throws Out Her Son's Xbox" is meant to be a unsupportive mother for getting angry at her son for not getting a steady job. But considering that said son used her credit card without asking to fund his video gaming (when the family is deep into debt, no less), she has right to be mad at him. Hilariously, in another video, a much younger boy is condemned for doing the same thing, although this might have been intended as an Author's Saving Throw.
  • Lucas from “Gamer Scams Students For New iPhone14”. He was exposed for fraudulent behavior. After Lucas got his fate, he was forced to give everything away for his scams. The only thing left is his iPhone14. However, his luck was short lived when he accidentally dropped his phone, causing it to be destroyed as karma came back to bite him.
  • Adam from "Fake Trainer Gives Granny a Heart Attack." He's certainly deserving of punishment for lying about being a trainer to impress a girl, seeing as how he could've gotten one of the elderly people he was training hurt for real. But his ultimate fate comes across as Karmic Overkill. In addition to being crushed by a ladder and left in a partial body cast, he's also forced to attend a concert with Darla, one of the elderly trainees who became infatuated with him. Regardless of his deceptions, it's hard not to feel bad for Adam as Darla sexually harasses him and no one does anything about it, despite the video grossly playing the situation for laughs.
  • Calliope from "In-Laws Ruin Their Family Thanksgiving" is equally treated as in the wrong as Judith when it comes to ruining their respective relatives' Thanksgiving, even though she did nothing wrong to start any drama. In fact, she's the only one of the two grandmas who didn't start anything. And when looking at how much of a judgmental person Judith is, it's not hard to understand why Calliope gets so frustrated—especially when Judith when as far as to sabotage the recipe and the dinner out of spite for Calliope, only for BOTH to be blamed equally for their fighting!
  • Jessie and Randle from "Fighting Siblings Ruin Thanksgiving." While it was wrong of them to cover up their lie and going as far as to try and steal from someone, when they admit their lie to the parents, they forgive them, only for the woman they tried to steal from turn out to be the boss of their father's work. While the kids failed to mention the details, they got a new turkey to have Thanksgiving with, anyway from the woman. The fact that the adults laugh as they deny Jessie and Randle any dinner doesn't help the parents' case.
  • Drew from “Dad Becomes Millionaire and Leaves Family”. While it is true that he is grumpy and selfish, his narcissistic self caught up to him when a rich girlfriend had been cheating on him behind his back.
  • James from “WAITER WON’T SERVE Poor Looking Man” Yes, it was wrong of him to judge the new owner’s son for his appearance, and to give free wine to the European customers at the restaurant him and Sam work at without letting their boss know, but his comeuppances come off as a little unfair. While he does end up getting a $0 tip from the customers he was serving and gets ratted out by the hostess for how he judged the owner’s son and denied the manager position (which should be plenty of a comeuppance), the video further adds some more unfair punishments to him when his former boss give him a bill for the free wine he gave away (again which was wrong but still) and is forced to pay for it. If that wasn’t enough, an IRS agent randomly shows up and announces that he’s there to confront him about unpaid taxes from unclaimed tips which has nothing to do with the plot or title at all. After all of this, it’s likely James will be in debt for months all because he gave free wine, didn’t collect tips, and judged a customer.
  • Jessica from "Mom Walks Out on Dad and Her Son." We're supposed to think she's in the wrong to contact John's parents and walk out on him after he refuses to go to them for help with their financial problems. But if you think about it, Jessica's reaction to the situation is more than a little understandable. John is having no luck finding a stable job, they're only days away from being evicted from their apartment, and it's clear from their demeanors that John's parents are good people willing and able to help their son back on his feet. As such, Jessica's Screw This, I'm Outta Here response to John refusing to go to his parents for help seems less like a callous act of abandonment and more like a woman cutting ties from a relationship that's only going to lead her into homelessness.
  • Mark from "ROAD RAGE Driver GOES TOO FAR, What Happens Next Is Shocking." It's true that he has anger issues on the road that can get him killed on the road, but what does his wife do to teach him a lesson? Hire a man to take him and their son hostage and pretend that the man shot their son just to make Mark promise that he'll control his temper. Worse of all, Mark stays engaged to his wife rather than divorcing her and taking their son custody for the traumatizing stunt she pulled.
  • Jenny from “Pretty Girl USES NERD To Go Shopping” it was wrong of her to only date Newton for his money and bail on his anniversary date to go clubbing with her friends while also blocking him from her instagram no doubt but there were some things she did not really deserve at the end. While she did definitely deserve to have the coat and shoes Newton bought her earlier ruined by the wine he ordered at the club and then dumped by him as payback for all of that. However, she is then left with Newton’s bill while her own friends bail on her quick. To make matters worse, her purse is implied to be stolen and when she, in fear and panic, tries to ask a patron she encountered earlier if he saw it anywhere, now yeah, she was rude to him earlier but still, he just claims he isn’t interested and walks off leaving her sobbing and implied that she will go to jail. All this just because she used and dated a nerd only for money.
  • In "Evil House Sitter Destroys Home", Kristen actually tries her hardest to follow most of the owners' rules despite throwing the party in the first place. When she and her friend finally fixed everything and she seemingly earned both of the owners' trust, one of the partygoers comes in and unknowingly reveals everything that happened. The fact that the owners believed the random guy, who's drunk, rather than giving her a chance to explain makes this even more frustrating in the end.
  • Gill from “Teen HITS CAR and DRIVES OFF” While it was wrong of him to hit the Asian lady’s car and drive off without leaving a note, steal a person’s food, lie to his boss that he was sick in order to not come to work, and then to steal Anthony Brown’s wallet in order to buy new clothes and not give it to the cashier’s desk but much like the driving test video, he also receives some Karmic Overkill. He first gets his original clothes pooped on by pigeons (which leads to the wallet incident), and then his new clothes get covered in the smoothie he stole earlier and then his stomach gets upset where it’s revealed he’s allergic to one of the ingredients, his car also gets hit by another driver, and finally, he gets arrested for simply the hit and run. While he did hit the car it only caused a minor dent and yet the owner and cops are acting like as if he hit or killed a person. If that wasn’t enough, Anthony Brown discovers his wallet (which was wrong of Gill to steal once again but still) and literally attempts to beat up Gill over it, which only has him begging the cops to take him away before that can happen but also ends up pooping his pants due to the almond milk while his friend just stands by and shows no sympathy for Gill. Despite all he does, it does not justify a grown woman acting like she’s allowed to arrest a minor over a minor dent to her car nor a man attempting to assault him either in front of two police officers.
  • Alex from "Teen Cheats On Test For An IPHONE 15", He Lives To Regret It." Yes, it was wrong of Alex to lie about his test score, his injury, and his fighting skills just to impress his crush and family, but his punishments in the end are brutal. First, he gets beaten up by two guys because his crush give them the idea that he's a professional fighter. Then, after his crush leaves him, his teacher comes in to tell his mother that he failed the test, and as a result, he not only has to spend the summer at his grandma's place, but he's left alone on the street with an actual broken ankle while his teacher, mother, and brother show no sympathy for him.
  • Deandre from "Greedy Boss fires Staff by Using AI". Sure he shouldn't have used AI to do all the work for him by using his AI voice to talk to his wife while he went to sleep, used AI to do his daughter's homework for her and fired all but one of his employees and replaced them with AI, but the AI ended up taking a toll on his life. It generated a generic snack brand which caused Deandre to lose a deal; his daughter wanted him to help him with his homework because she wanted to be with him; and his wife berated him for insulting her and her hospitalized mother, not knowing it was his AI voice that said it (and without letting him explain in time). To make matters worse, Deandre's company has now lost money and his former employees have now started their own company; and the video ends right there, leaving everything unresolved. This is especially egregious as Deandre is now bound to have financial problems and his family now likely hating him, and could probably end in divorce.
  • Sabrina from “Hot Girl Uses Her Co-Worker To Buy Her Things”. It was cruel and wrong of Sabrina to mistreat her customers on her shift, make Zack buy her expensive things and then set up a fake date to meanly stand him up and insult him just to please Ryan, but much like “Nerd Gets Revenge On Teens” How Zack got revenge just comes off as him being a stalker and a snitch since it’s clear in the montage of their dates Sabrina and Ryan clearly did love one another. While she did deserve to possibly be fired (judging by her boss’s confrontation of her at the end about her treatment of the customers), one female customer actually was bothering Sabrina on her break so you could see why she snapped and got mad at her for doing that. Zack, pretty much drops all his weight by getting in shape at the very gym Ryan is running and tells him about Sabrina (also forgetting that he somewhat interfered on Sabrina’s attempt at the beginning of the video to please Ryan and humiliating her) and so he pretty much dumps her and automatically believes some guy he barely even knew and then has him be his company to what was suppose to be him and Sabrina’s New Years dinner date. Even if Zack has every right to feel betrayed and hurt by Sabrina’s horrible treatment of him, it doesn’t justify him interfering with her relationship
  • Bob Cook in the bonus episode: "Male Patient Humiliates A Female Doctor." Of course it was wrong of him to judge Dr. Jackson just for being a female doctor and thinking she was inexperienced in performing surgery and even shrugging off her life story later on, but he didn't deserve what happens next. After being given an male surgeon (at his request instead of Jackson), Dr. Williams leaves a bad first impression, causing Bob to reconsider having Dr. Jackson do his surgery, but she coldly refuses thanks to his demeanor and leaves for another patient, leaving Bob with the inexperienced Williams, likely to either be badly proceeded on or worse, dead.
  • Pam in the bonus episode “Divorced Parents Ruin Daughters Life”. We all know for sure that bullying is wrong on so many levels, and Pam is trying to make Lexi miserable by mocking her about her family life, not helping the fact when Lexi’s parents were having a heated argument outside of school. The next day at school, Pam continues to tease Lexi again, but Lexi, finally fed up with Pam bullying her, shoves her out of her desk. The teacher was also unlikeable as she ordered Lexi to go to the principal’s office without giving a chance to explain what was happening. Of course, Pam doesn’t deserve to have that fate, but she should have gotten herself in trouble for harassing Lexi.
  • Mark in the bonus episode: “Man screams at breastfeeding mom on plane” Yes it was wrong of him to treat Holly and her daughter so horribly on the flight by not letting Holly through to use the bathroom to change her daughter’s diaper and yell at her for trying to feed her later, but in all honesty all he was trying to have was some piece while he napped on the trip to prepare to a clearly important job interview and was clearly getting reasonably irritated with the baby’s frequent noise and the flight attendant refusing to help him find a new seat due to the flight being full. Eventually, one female passenger in front of him decides to switch seats with him and it’s soon revealed that the very interview he is attending is for a company run by Holly’s husband and that her and her daughter were returning home to him, Mark immediately feels bad and tries to apologize while also offering the lady her seat back, but she refuses to forgive him and says that she is going to clearly tell her husband NOT to hire Mark at all, thus basically now leaving him without a job and likely even a ruined reputation all for trying to have some piece to be prepped for a interview even if he could have handled it better
