YMMV / Gaijin Goombah

Go To

  • Genius Bonus: Most of his videos deal with pointing out these in games thanks to various cultural tidbits, ranging from the more easy to notice (shinto in Ōkami) to the more obscure (Irish connections in Undertale or Toad Man from Mega Man 4 being Navajo.)
  • Harsher in Hindsight: His video "Game Exchange, Russian Gaming" trying to paint Russia in a more positive light may have fallen on deaf ears if it was released after Russia's annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Goomba Got Back", a parody of "Baby Got Back", has become a meme within the SiIvaGunner community due to its ridiculous, So Bad, It's Good qualities. It has become a Running Gag in SiIvaGunner's videos.
  • So Bad, It's Good: "Goomba Got Back" is seen by many as awkward and embarrassing song by many, due to being a song parody about liking Goomba's with big butts and featuring sexualized footage of a Goomba. However, its cringiness makes it legitimately hilarious.
  • Tear Jerker: The third part of the The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask trilogy soon dives into this with the African folk story of the Moon Childnote , especially with Gaijin theorizing Majora was that child but he didn't get a happy ending. Even Majora is left without words and can only scream.
