YMMV / Jaffa Factory

Go To

  • Arc Fatigue: Pig Island became the main focus of the series for a very long time, and despite being funny, fans steadily grew increasingly annoyed that Simon had apparently completely forgotten the Jaffa Factory, which was supposed to be the main goal of the series. They eventually lampshaded that the plotline went on a bit too long.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Simon's attempt to build a Santa on top of the Jaffa Factory is already brilliant, simply because it's so badly done. When Simon decides to make a pimp Santa and gives it red shades and a cigar, Duncan says it looks like posthumously exposed paedophile Jimmy Savile. Simon reacts in horror, which adds to the humour.
    Duncan: *chuckles* He looks like Jimmy Savile!
    Simon: Oh no! Nooooo! Oh god!
    Lewis: Oh, come on!
    Simon: I come back, and instead of, like, the red suit, it's, like, a gold jail suit he's wearing. Oh, god.
    Simon: *in a Jimmy Savile-esque voice* Come on little Jimmy, come and sit on me knee, tell Santa what you want. Hahahaha.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Simon's response to the modded bees in the series (and the Old Shame jokes that occurred when they mention bees again several times after that series) became this when bees actually became an official mob in Minecraft.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Sips is a psychopathic Bad Boss, however, he's apparently very lonely.
  • The Woobie:
    • Sjin is constantly harassed by Sips, his employer, and then he is eventually fired from the group by Sips in favour of Lewis. He then begs for a job at Honeydew Industries, during which he is beaten, insulted, and fired on his first day at work.
    • Lewis gets a lot of crap around the same time too. Simon eventually goes mad with power and starting kicking him around, ruining his work efforts and eventually causing him to quit Honeydew Industries. He only applied for a part time job at Sips Co because it was the only feasible action left; getting Sjin fired and becoming his replacement was entirely accidental.
