YMMV / You Can Play This!

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • Justin singing Javert's part in the Nostalgia Chick review of Les Misérables as Javert committed suicide.
  • In the second Pokémon movie review, telling his friends: "Not everything I do is a cry for help!"
  • In Suburban Knights, Todd in the Shadows threatens to shoot Justin with his (fake) gun. Justin took his life via gun.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: Two and a half years after Justin's passing, his dream of having a full video game-themed Kamen Rider series has finally come true.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • For such a light-hearted show, Negadub is quite creepy and malevolent.
    You died, Justin. When you die, I can't hurt you anymore. And I want two days at least. Minimum.
  • The way he kills JDub is pretty disturbing, too: as Justin comes down the stairs, the Negadub steps out in front of him with an eerily serene grin on his face; Justin glances down...and sees a knife sticking out of his gut.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: In 2018, many former Channel Awesome employees came forward with allegations of mismanagement and sexual assault. Among them were claims that a sexual predator was not properly dealt with by the management, though the name of the predator was withheld at the victims' request. A sloppy response from Channel Awesome accidentally revealed that the accused predator was Justin Carmichael. Since then, most discussion related to Justin has veered away from the content of his work and centers more around his alleged assault, resulting in several former CA contributors removing videos related to Justin (including tributes made after his suicide).
