** Right in the middle of explaining how to finish the second level, he breaks off from the game and talks about... [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a knockoff Street Fighter action figure]]. He then [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment goes back to the walkthrough as if he didn't totally change the subject just now]].

** Also, him stating
baby? Now that she is "complete with [[UnusualEuphemism front-loaded anvils]]".would be fun! Rather than compete against other racers, you'd have to avoid getting arrested by keeping below the speed limit, obeying right-of-way laws, and not tailgating. Any foul-up, and the cops will pull you over.
** And then after saying all that, [[MoodWhiplash he just goes back to talking about the game as if he didn't say anything.]]

*** Speaking of ImmediateSelfContradiction, he manages to contradict himself ''within a single sentence.'' This is when he talks about using cheats to complete the game.
-->You can't win Toy Story without cheating, and this cheating brings victory way too quickly to warrant spending your money.

** He spends an insane amount of time rambling about Silicon Graphics computers, which thanks to it now being an UnintentionalPeriodPiece, is now more or less an incoherent string of babbling to a contemporary viewer and makes his bizarre obsession with SGI visuals even more off-putting and unintentionally hilarious.

-->We have a challenge to EIDOS. In ''VideoGame/TombRaiderIII'', create a storyline in which Lara gets breast cancer. Imagine the drama of a vulnerable Lara Croft still persisting on her worldly adventures despite her illness. It needs fleshing out, no pun intended, but we guarantee the gaming world would be shocked, stunned, and moved by the effort to make Lara's character more meaningful.
