* The DownerEnding of his narrative LetsPlay of [[spoiler:''Videogame/TheLongDark'']]. After all the hardships he had to go through in order to survive, [[spoiler:his character dies litterally while the rescue team was coming, trying to climb a mountain in order to be noticed by the helicopter]]. Made worst by the sheer despair in his voice when [[spoiler:his strength wears off and he can't climb the rope anymore]] and by the fact that, [[spoiler:after he falls and dies]], there is no message of Fred like with the end of his other narrative [[LetsPlay Lets Plays]]. Just an abrupt cut. ShootTheShaggyDog at its cruelest.
* The final episode of the ''VideoGame/{{Tropico}}'' Let's Play. In the previous episode, president Garavo befriended the CIA agent he captured and agreed to let him go. [[spoiler:He then became a spy for Tropico and is in fact the teacher presenting the videos.]] Decades later, a now very old and somewhat melancholic president still waits for his friend's return. [[spoiler:Not knowing that he has been arrested by the CIA.]]

* The end of ''VideoGame/GreenHell'', where Fred's "shoot the natives" policy and stated willingness to murder half the country becomes HarsherInHindsight when it turns out his character Jack Higgins did exactly that with an untested anti-cancer vaccine that killed millions, also leaving his wife to die alone of cancer to look for a cure to the vaccine, and has been hallucinating her this whole time.

* The team made a fake trailer for a movie about the life of [[MemeticMutation David Goodenough]]... as if it was a dramatic film. Outside of the BlackComedy surrounding the sheer number of bad things happening to David and how he keeps his usual nonchalant attitude, some fans admitted that they found the implication that David Goodenough's attitude stems from his inability to accept his daughter's death legitimately sad.

* The skits of his ''VideoGame/{{Rambo}}'' review. Outside of the occasional joke, they do have a rather melancholic feel. Grenier is portrayed as a [=YouTube=] veteran, who's mocked and considered a relic because he continues to make long videos that need a lot of work. He mentions other reviewers who "fought" to continue making good videos and "died". Especially since he mentions reviewers that did stop their series or put them on hiatus such as [[WebVideo/WhatTheCut Antoine Daniel]], [[WebVideo/SalutLesGeeks Mathieu Sommet]] or LetsPlay/TheFantasio974 .
-->'''Woman:''' Antoine isn't there anymore.
-->'''Grenier:''' What do you mean not there? Will he come back?
-->'''Woman:''' He's dead.
-->'''Grenier:''' Dead? Wha... What is it?
