YMMV / Nigahiga

Go To

  • Actor Shipping: Many are fond of shipping him with his Agents of Secret Stuff co-star, Arden Cho, at least around the movie's release, but they've been shipped together since.
    • And again in his "Every Romantic Movie" video and its Behind the Scenes.
    • Once more in "Romantic Clichés in Real Life".
    • As of the fifth Off the Pill Podcast, Ryan has confirmed that the two are together, and have been for a few years now.
  • Anvilicious: Drugs makes you explode no matter the context.
  • Awesome Music: Ryan himself has admitted he has to use AutoTune because he can't sing, but still manages to put out examples of this trope:
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • All the self-harm and suicide jokes in "How To Be Emo" can be seen as this.
    • In How To Be Ninja 2.0, Sean/Bob showed reluctance repeating an offensive joke about gay people they made in the original video (One of the many disguises a ninja could take on included "a fag", which Hanate demonstrated by acting extremely effeminate). In response to this, Hanate comes on screen as a "Politically Correct Homosexual Male" who simply and proudly declares how equal he was to everyone. Then he corpses and decides to do another take because of how gay it came off.
  • Friendly Fandoms: There's often an overlap between NigaHiga and Smosh due to both being OG YouTubers who have been most subscribed during YouTube's first years. They've been featured on each other's channels many times and Ryan and Sean have been considered by many the Asian counterparts to Ian and Anthony. Sadly, fans have also noticed the channels have declined since the departures of Sean/Anthony.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • In The Big Booty Trend!?, a cutaway depicts Ryan and Sean ogling over a girl's collarbone. About three months later, a teenage girl was sent home from school because her outfit violated the school's dress code by showing her collarbones, believing it'll distract the male students. Can also be Harsher in Hindsight.
    • In iFhone 8 Commercial Leaked! which came out on October 2016, one of the "new" features of the iFhone 8 is that it has 4 cameras, making it the first quad camera. Two years after the video was posted, guess what was the Samsung Galaxy A9's most notable feature?
  • Ho Yay: Ryan and Sean definitely get this a lot.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: Many fans have noted the similarities of "Nice Guys" and "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem.
  • Tear Jerker: As of September 1, 2018, Sean Fujiyoshi (Ryan's best friend and co-founder of the channel), has left RHPC to move to California. This comes as a huge tearjerker to longtime fans as for one, Sean was the last remaining member of Ryan's old Yabo crew to be part of RHPC. Coupled with the fact that Anthony left Smosh just a year ago makes it feel like it's the End of an Era for many.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: A lot of the viewers don't realize that Tham from the "The Last Skitzo" was a girl until she was referred as a "she" or when R-Dizzle remarks about it in the The Stinger.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: As his production values shot up, the special effects started looking so much better. One of the shining examples from 2013 that still holds up would be Candy Crush the Movie.
