* His ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' [[https://youtu.be/NxA-WMfgcTo cover]] review focuses on how everyone in the Japanese ''Rock Man'' cover and European cover are obsessed with Mega Man's ass and fisting it. When showing the [[https://venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/megamanbox.jpg?strip=all infamous US cover]], Yahtzee remains silent for a few seconds before brightly exclaiming, "LOOKS FINE TO ME!"[[note]]Perhaps because there's no fisting involved.[[/note]]

* In his review of ''VideoGame/MadMax2015'', Yahtzee interprets the slightly unconventional blocking of Max's stance and the image's composition as being not that of a big triple-A video game, but a hip-hop album.

* [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/judging-by-the-cover/57432-Hitman-Agent-47-Poster-Review Hitman Agent 47's poster has multiple cases of rather hilariously blatant copy-pasting.]] Yahtzee even has a tune he hums when he's preparing the comparison. "Blimey. You see it everywhere once you start looking for it, don't ya? Not unlike racism."
** In the same video he points out that some of the soldiers are up to odd things, such as a guy aiming at the ground, another guy crouched on top of a van for seemingly no reason, and one soldier who forgot to bring a gun and is trying to hide it by just miming.
* His take on Charles Le Brun's ''Adoration of the Shepherds''. Particularly his reading the look on Mary's face as a sarcastic eye-roll.
-->"Oh no, the stable's on fire. Whatever will we do?"
-->"Oh no, [[ItMakesSenseInContext a cow's come to eat the Baby Jesus]]. Because that's ''totally'' what herbivores do."
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkn5hgjhyeo Judging The Beatles White Album]]'' has to be seen [[SanitySlippage to be believed]].
-->[[spoiler:'''THEY KNOW''']]
* [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith "Party on, you gormless cunt."]]
* Yahtzee tries to do a side-by-side comparison for the European, American and Japanese cover of [[{{VideoGame/SilentHill1}} Silent Hill]]. After being sorely disappointed by the blurbs on the back covers of the western versions due to their incoherence, he moves onto the Japanese version, hoping for the better:
-->'''Yahtzee:''' Oh well, let's see if the Japanese can improve on their thus far dismal showing.\\
[[spoiler: ''(cut to the Japanese back-cover, [[CaptainObviousReveal which is written entirely in Japanese]])'']]\\
'''Yahtzee:''''' ({{Beat}})'' Nice drop shadow! ''([[ScrewThisImOuttaHere hastily ends the video]])''
* Yahtzee's utter disdain towards the title of ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'' which he sees as pretentious.
-->Isn't it ''cute'' when films with the cultural value of a UsefulNotes/McDonalds drive-in menu start using the language of books? "The Final Chapter", like this series is being chronicled in some leather-bound tome by a noted scholar, when there is only one book one can associate with the ''Resident Evil'' series, and that is "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Appealing to One, Very Specific Demographic".
* He gives voices to the horses on the cover of ''VideoGame/DefenderOfTheCrown'', to match their facial expressions.
-->'''White Horse:''' ''(surprised)'' Oh, Harold, why are you wearing that tinfoil hat?
-->'''Brown Horse:''' ''(bug-eyed)'' GAHHH, WESTERN DEMOCRACY IS A SHAM!! OPEN YOUR EYES, PEOPLE!!
* Yahtzee's [[CelebrityResemblance interpretations]] of [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0TRPtEN0b7g/maxresdefault.jpg the cast on the backside cover of]] ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' from left to right are as follows: Music/DavidBowie, Creator/GraceJones, Creator/JoePesci, [[AgeLift young David Bowie]], Creator/RichardOBrien, Creator/DanielRadcliffe, ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, [[OddNameOut a man with a]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint giant novelty "L" lodged in his head]], Creator/EmilioEstevez, [[Characters/StarWarsEmperorPalpatine Emperor Palpatine]], [[RuleOfThree girl]] [[GenderFlip David]] [[Rule63 Bowie]], [[RaceLift black]] Film/MaryPoppins, and Creator/BrianBlessed (which yes, he does emphasize).
* Yahtzee's description of C3-P0 and R2-D2 on the poster of ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' as "robot optimistically modeled on an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward and robot somewhat more realistically modeled on a ''butt plug'' with which to ''fuck'' oneself." He then is aghast Phasma is wearing a cape. "Fuck, did you get turned down from the Music/DaftPunk-themed wrestling league?"
** He then sneers that despite all the money thrown at ''The Force Awakens'', they were still so cheap they ''cut-and-paste'' the Stormtroopers, proving it with his own cut-and-paste.
* In his judgement of the first promo photo for the ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' movie, he describes Harley Quinn's new appearance as "Rocky-Horror-On-Ice-Castmember-Tripped-And-Fell-In-Some-Daddy-Issues."
