YMMV / StewdioMACK

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: "Mack Becomes a Jew": The entire video really, but especially the moment where Mack dances to stereo music.
  • The ending of "Mack Gets Social" where Mack throws himself in the river. His corpse floats for what is implied to be hours.
    • In "Mack Does Crabfest 3" it happens again.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Mack intentionally jumping in front of a car in “Mack Dies”? Funny. Mack orchestrating a scheme with Mark to fake his own death to see who shows up to his funeral (nobody), then getting thrown off a building and dying? Hilarious.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Mark.
  • Evie from "Mack is Back", enough so that she returns in a larger role in "Mack the Bank".
• Growing the Beard: Season 2 features far more emotional depth overall, although "Mack Dies", the season 1 finale, was also noticeably more intricate.
• Harsher in Hindsight: A lot of the depression humor throughout the series hits harder after "Mack Fixes Life", which is far more realistic about Mack's struggles with depression.
  • In the season 2 premiere "Mack is Back", originally filmed in January 2020, Mack laments that 2019 was the worst year of his entire life. Little did he know what the next few years had in store for him, which reaches its culmination in "Mack Fixes Life".
• Moral Event Horizon: Mark pushing Mack off a building in the appropriately-titled "Mack Dies".
• Older Than They Think: The "professional rappist" gag in the Mack Raps series is actually an homage to Parks and Recreation.
• One-Scene Wonder: The woman at the end of "Mack is Back" that calls out Mack for the entire premise of the video.
• Sacred Cow: "Mack Raps".
• So Okay, It's Average: "Mack Becomes a Jew".
• The Woobie: Start with "Mack Dies" from season 1, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
  • Taken up a notch in season 2:
    • “Mack is Back”: Mack attempts a comeback on social media. The post is immediately inundated with hateful comments and death threats, sending Mack into a Despair Event Horizon.
    • “Mack Does Crabfest 3”: Instead of the usually peppy and optimistic tone of the Crabfest series, we see Mack desperately trying to keep the energy up amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic. When he attempts to start his own Crabfest, he is mistaken as mentally disabled.
      Mack: I just don't know how things could possibly get any worse—
      (Zak immediately shoves Mack into the water fully clothed, apparently killing him.)
