History Trivia / Petscop

* CreatorBacklash: The creator has stated that that making references to Candace Newmaker was [[https://twitter.com/pressedyes/status/1197191068502183936 stupid of him]].

* TheWikiRule: [[http://petscop.wikia.com/wiki/Petscop_Wiki Lo and behold!]]
** There's also another one [[https://petscop.rustedlogic.net/Main_Page here]] but it's a WIP.

** Episodes 22, 23, and 24, which all featured the prominent [[ArcNumber number set of 9 2 19]], came out on September 2nd, 2019 at 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time... or 9/2/2019.

* ScheduleSlip: There was no consistent timing with the video uploading. The longest wait between two videos was the one between Petscop 10 and 11, with ''6 months''; even shorter was between Petscop 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21, which were all released within a 24 hour stretch on April 20th and 21st, 2019. By far the shortest wait, if you can even call it that, was between Petscop 22, 23, and 24, which were released seconds apart.

* CrossDressingVoices: Care’s voice clips came from recordings of Tony when he was a young boy.

* ReferencedBy: The 2021 Cacola album ''A Gift to Us All'' is loosely based on ''Petscop'', right down to the cover depicting a little girl similar in design to Care; one track is even named "Tapers".

* ShrugOfGod: Tony encourages viewers to make their own interpretation of the story, and in fact values others’ readings of Petscop more than the intentions he had when creating it.

--->”Why would I be in a car? I’m playing Petscop. Why would I be playing Petscop in a car?”
*** ...which falls into TrollingCreator territory with the release of the subtitles, which caption the aforementioned scene from Petscop 13 as "[car door opens]".

** Hudson is put in the sprites menu, but they're never catchable.

* FanNickname:
** Naul (short for "Newmaker Paul"), for the player character within the game, in order to differentiate them from Paul, the person playing the game. This was largely dropped when we later got an official name of "Guardian".
** [[Franchise/SilentHill Pyramid Head]], for the red version of Paul that appears in Petscop 12.
** The Proprietors, the nickname given to the people that run the youtube channel, who are unknown characters with an unknown title.

** ''WebVideo/Pyrocynical'' has lead his audience and fans to check the series out a well, after he made an in-depth video essay discussing the series. Garnering some more interest, it even became a meme inside of his fandom to ask him when would be the 2nd part of the video releasing, as it ended at a point where it seemed like Petscop was over due to a ScheduleSlip.
