* In the "Berenstain Bears" review. The entirety of the episode goes to great lengths about supposed effects of interdenominational crossovers, existences and realities on the very things we know and love. The AVGN meets his alternate self from the year 2006 in a parallel universe from his very first Halloween episode for Friday the 13th for the NES. [[spoiler: It turns out that in this alternate timeline [[TheReveal Jason was really the Nerd]] [[MindScrew killing the other Nerd]] again and again, who also happens to be trying to get back into his own timeline.]] What started off as another festive Halloween spooktaculiar turns into utter contorting madness for The Nerd as he tries to prove to us that what we know from our childhood books as the "Berenstein Bears" turns out to be the "Berenstain Bears". And to cap it off the Nerd [[spoiler: the one dressed up as Jason]] turns out that he hails from a universe that was from neither before. His universe's equivalent to the "Berenstein Bears" is called [[NamesToRunAwayFromVeryFast "Bloodstain"]]. Que the titular bears ganging up on him and mauling him to death as 'our' Nerd [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere runs like hell]]. ... [[RecursiveReality Kind of makes you question your own existences]] [[FridgeHorror on what we all know and love now, doesn't it]]?

* The extended version of his VideoGame/WallyBearAndTheNoGang review. He is informed that there is a Wally Bear hotline and calls it. Cut to an abandoned house with creepy ambiance and a prerecorded message of Wally talking in the background.

* In his ''VideoGame/HongKong97'' review, it is revealed that if you die in the game, you are treated to an image of what appears to be an actual dead man lying on the ground. Even the Nerd is creeped out by this, wondering how anyone could be so tasteless as to put up something like that.

--->"Alright, Let's flip that shit switch and crank up that diarrhea dial. I got Dark Castle on [[PunctuatedForEmphasis C! D!]] [[VoiceoftheLegion IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII]]!!!!" Cue hellish flames and a very serious DeathGlare.

* The end of the ''Dick Tracy'' review shows the Nerd at full-blown '''insanity''', and is one of his angriest and most terrifying moments on the show. He starts ''screaming'' about the NintendoHard aspect of the game so loudly that the audio clips while coming closer and closer to the screen, starts drinking beer like crazy (''wetting his clothes'' in the process), starts screaming bloody murder while pushing his face into ''a pillow'', [[ClusterFBomb a brief montage of him screaming "FUCK" in various parts of his house follows]], and even then, he pierces the cartridge with a drill. ''[[FromBadToWorse Then]]'' he looks at the cartridge, spinning because he wasn't holding it and it was still on the drill, '''with a demented stare''', at that, and the screen ''finally'' cuts to black as he destroys it with his hammer. ''While the cartridge is spinning''.

* In the same episode before that we see him seething with rage as he pulls out the CD-i version.

* The end of the ''Dick Tracy'' review shows the Nerd at damn near full-blown '''insanity''', and is easily his angriest and most terrifying moment on the show. He starts ''screaming'' about the NintendoHard aspect of the game so loudly that the audio clips while coming closer and closer to the screen, starts drinking beer like crazy (''wetting his clothes'' in the process), starts screaming bloody murder while pushing his face into ''a pillow'', [[ClusterFBomb a brief montage of him screaming "FUCK" in various parts of his house follows]], and even then, he pierces the cartridge with a drill.

''While the cartridge is spinning''.

* Bugs Bunny and R.O.B. both hit him hard enough to cause him to spit blood. In the R.O.B. episode, blood stays on his face throughout the entire rest of their battle.
* In his ''VideoGame/HongKong97'' review, it is revealed that if you die in the game, you are treated to an image of what appears to be an actual dead man lying on the ground. Even Nerd is a bit creeped out by this, wondering how anyone could be so tasteless as to put up something like that.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Seaman}}'' episode combines this with ParanoiaFuel when he realizes through the eponymous smart-mouthed fish-man asking about his family, Sega naming their consoles after planets, the Sega Channel peripheral for the Genesis plugging us into Sega's network, and "SEGA" meaning "[[FunWithAcronyms Sentient Electronic Global Annihilator]]", that Sega is trying to take over the world. He tries to stop this scheme by speeding up time using the Dreamcast's internal clock until the Seaman has been withered away by the sands of time, but the effort ultimately proves fruitless as the Nerd's reality becomes a RecursiveReality for the Seaman.

* The 2nd episode where he just sits and rants about ''Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde''. James said once this is the only episode where he was drinking real Rollin Rock, and was slightly tipsy. Watching him sitting there, eyes widened into the camera, and SuddenlyShouting a couple minutes in, and that SlasherSmile he makes at the end? ''<shudders>''

* The Nerd gets outright ''terrifying'' at the end of the ''Dark Castle'' review.

[[caption-width-right:350:One of the few instances where AwesomeArt can be a bad thing.]]

* The title card for the ''Metal Gear'' episode, which features Snake throwing a grenade at the Nerd, which is seen going off, completely obliterating his hands to the point where bone is visible, as well as blowing off most of the lower half of his face (as well as his nose), leaving a bloody, chunky mess. Made even worse when you realize how much [[{{Squick}} detail]] Mike puts into these title cards...

''While the cartridge is spinning''.

* The end of the ''Dick Tracy'' review shows the Nerd at damn near full-blown '''insanity'''. He's screaming so loud that the audio starts clipping, and then he takes a ''[[ThisIsADrill drill]]'' and runs it through the game cartridge before hitting it with a hammer while it's spinning.

* The end of the ''Dick Tracy'' review shows the Nerd at damn near full-blown '''insanity'''.

* He then proceeds to '''[[ATasteOfTheLash brutally flog]]''' the cartridge and disc versions of the game. ''While they're in chains'', no less. He actually hits the cartridge so hard ''he breaks one of the chains''.
