YMMV / TheRussianBadger

• Crosses the Line Twice: Oh his videos are RIPE with this kind of Black Comedy.
  • During a game of World of Warships, Stretchy comes back, noting that he has his insulin pump on him. Cue Badger asking a question that just snowballs out of control.
    Badger: Can you double- (Corpsing) Can you double pump with insulin?? I mean... Can you just do both hips? [...] All I see in chat is Pasta sayin "DO NOT DOUBLE PUMP"!
    (Shortly after as Badger's reading the chat)
    Badger: (As he's laughing) Shut the fuck up, glizzygobbler. "Does insulin stack?"
    Eekaj: Oh my God- yeah, is insulin a buff?
    Jello: Wait, hol' up. Is fucken diabetes damage over time?
    (Everyone breaks into laughter)
  • Badger decides to get quite smug with real world events during a game of Star Wars Battlefront II when Bing finds himself in a pickle against an opponent. And it just keeps escalating.
    Bing: Oh no, this guy got a gun!
    Heavenly: No shit! We all have guns, goofy!
    Bing: No, this guy got a real gun though!
    Heavenly: What do you have, a fake gun!?
    Badger: Dawg, when did Alec Baldwin get into this call?
    Heavenly: Prank 'em, Alec! "You already know!"
  • At one point in "Goblin Mode Brain Rot," Badger and his friends think they may have accidentally taken things too far insulting Digi's sense of humor. Heavenly, however, ends up breaking into an incredibly inopportune laughing fit at Digi's plight no thanks to a bottle of Nyquil.
    (Heavenly's avatar suddenly morphs into a skeleton in a suit of armor while laughing maniacally)
    Badger: Dude, Heavenly's the Scooby-Doo villain now, Heavenly is now the Scooby-Doo villain.
    Heavenly: Yo, this Nyquil beatin' my ass, that is not that funny but like I can't stop laughing! (continues cackling)
    (Smash Cut to Heavenly falling asleep in a chair to a certain incredibly loud snoring sound effect)
  • In "Hampster Chief Lobsters the Fortbite," when Badger picks up and carries a player with a Black Panther skin:
    Badger: Yo, come with me Black Panther, we're going to get some chemo-therapy... Oh, no, that's too soon.
    • During the same video, Digi ends up choking at the very end of a round and loses the game for his squad. Getting brutally roasted by just about everyone on top of Twitch chat to the point Digi just facedesked in shame? A bit of sad overkill. Badger and Digi going as far as to consider the latter lacking object permanence and comparing it to getting bad stats as the two are on the verge of laughing? Hilarious.
      Badger: That's so mean chat, you're roasting Digi for his object permanence?
      Digi: I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN LIKE THIS!
      Badger: Yeah, damn, Digi just got a bad roll, he can't re-roll now.
      Digi: Somebody buy me a stat reset, please...!
      Badger: "Please let me re-roll, God."
      Digi: (As his avatar's in front of computer showing a "tech tree" going into ADHD rather than autism) I picked the wrong tech tree, FUCK!
  • In "Lore Accurate Vergil Stomps Marvel for $50 And Some Drip", Geuce screams in celebration at Mickey beating Heavenly in the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 tournament.
    Geuce: THAT WAS FOR MANHATTAN! THAT WAS FOR THE BIG APPLE! THAT WAS FOR 9-
• Friendly Fandoms: Fans of Badger's content tend to overlap pretty nicely with fans of Max0r. Helping this is Badger voicing in some of Max0r's videos.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In "Gauntlet Fried Chicken," he has Doomguy loading up a shotgun, in this case "shitposting with malicious intent." Three years later, Doomguy is made an official character of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.
  • In "For The Emperor!" (his video on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine), he completed his second playthrough of the game with "mods out the ass" replacing Captain Titus with a Blood Marine á la Dawn of War, making for "quite a different experience" with the Blood Marine randomly bellowing out threats all the time. In 2023, the trailers for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II would demonstrate that Titus has become much more prone to angry shouting himself in the sequel.
  • In "robbing $124 from a free to play game" (his 2024 World of Warships episode), he couldn't name his own ship the USS Lobsterfest because the Red Lobster seafood restaurant chain has the trademark to the name "Lobsterfest." In April 16, 2024, the company would file bankruptcy. Time will tell if Badger can get the rights to Lobsterfest.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Skullker is an AI^ExplanationDue to his constantly screwing with the others using autotune and his soundboard, a bunch of viewers are convinced Skullker is actually an Artificial Intelligence programmed to act the way he does, despite plenty of claims to the contrary. Doesn't help matters when Skullker decides to use actual AI to clone his friends voices in BANISHED TO THE SHADOW REALM | War Thunder.
  • BROTHER, GET THE FLAMER. THE HEAVY FLAMER.^ExplanationThe opening line of "Heavy Flamer Heresy", which has been used in the Warhammer 40,000 community in a manner similar to the ubiquitous HERESY! memes.
