* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Averted in the [[http://cinemassacre.com/2012/08/07/you-know-whats-bullshit-23/ Warranties]] episode. James said at a convention appearance that, originally, the Bullshit Man actually mentions the store where he bought a warranty for his projector bulb. However, many of James' friends, a couple who are actual lawyers advised him to remove all references to said store, as he could potentially be sued for slander. A couple of Creator/MikeMatei's illustrations had to be altered as well.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The Bullshit Man complains about the influx of penguin movies. Which was a 2007 thing.
** As mentioned above, any technology-based episode. Except for printers.
** Even the pilot episode suffers from this; not only does it pertain to physical movie media which, while not dead, has nosedived in popularity since the advent of streaming services, security stickers have basically been completely done away with now even on current physical media.

** Amusingly, the Printers episode still remains relevant a dozen years later, as those machines remain infamously unreliable in their functionality. However, he does mention printing [=MapQuest=] directions; smartphone GPS apps have long since replaced them.

The page on Louder with Crowder has been cut because of Crowder being a known bigot. I'm outright removing the entry because I assume the policy prohibiting entries about Stonetoss also apply.


* NamesTheSame: "Bullshit Man" is also the name of a character from ''WebVideo/LouderWithCrowder''.

** The Hotel TV's episode has REALLY shown its age; most hotels no longer bother going out of their way to find custom-made TV's that lack standard inputs (including HDMI and, though it's much less current now, RCA inputs that are discussed in the video). Also, it's a whole lot more common to find hotels that have free Internet than not these days. Not to mention, he brings up Circuit City in the episode which hasn't been around since not long after the episode first aired.

** The same can be said about [[IProduct iTunes]] (which has gone through dozens of updates since then) and the GPS episodes. A lot of the elements he talks about are no longer relevant. Technology tends to evolve after the years, after all. Except for printers, which remain infamously horrendous in their functionality to this day.
