** The motivation for [spoiler:Evil Sonic in Episode 200] isn't revealed until near the end of the video, but when it is, Jadow is shocked by how juvenile it is.
** During the X-Men Destiny review, he spends the latter half of the episode recounting how awful Denis Dyack (former President of Silicon Knights) was when he fired a huge chunk of his staff because they were upset by work crunch and hostile management, and how Denis' reply was to actively try and remove them from the credits of the game [[note]]Activision wouldn't let him so he went with the pettiest option he could: reduce all those who left to "Special Thanks credits" so you can't tell what any of these people did on the game[[/note]]
** Jadow was harassed by numerous people for his negative review of No Man's Sky for a variety of reasons, many imagined or unfair (some were mad he didn't re-review the game after the updates despite him explicitly saying his review was of the at-the-time build which was still fully released). Between threats, attacks, and his Twitter almost being hacked, he was infuriated with the community, and admits to hating No Man's Sky ''even more'' thanks to its toxic fandom.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: In the review for ''Videogame/{{Knack}}'', Jadow starts off talking about the unusually defensive nature or articles on Knack and even comments on the game's [[ShoutOut TvTropes page]], and shortly into the review he receives a call from the "Sony Executive", a deep-raspy-voiced man (also played by Jadow) who spends the whole review overly justifying the various design choices that Jadow criticizes and pretends the game is pure gold with no other motivation. In the second review, ''Knack 2'', Jadow calls the executive (who was conspicuously absent) and he outright admits that Knack 2 didn't do nearly as well as Knack 1, so he could hardly care less about it.



* VisualPun: His third special on Steam Indie games includes several shots of his computer's desktop. His wallpaper is an image of the Steamlord from ''Metroid Prime 3.''

* YourWorstNightmare: Jadow is tormented and attacked by Freddy Krueger (played by William Lowery) who attacks Jadow in his nightmare as he reviews the NES game ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet''. Ultimately Jadow is overpowered, but thankfully he is rescued by a group of ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' plushies.

** There's the [[https://youtu.be/xT2SowxzIvo?t=3957 speech he gives the evil Sonic who terrorizes him in the plot of "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) Review - EPISODE 200"]]. The beginning of the episode implies he's been trying to physically overpower the evil Sonic to no avail who has supernatural powers and has supposedly killed him numerous times. The evil Sonic states he has to win once to be freed. Towards the end of the video, Jadow finally gets him to spill why he's frustrated and doing this to him, [[spoiler: and it turns out it is ''solely'' because of the reviews and nothing else ''because they were negative''. Jadow is so speechless over evil Sonic's toxic attitude, that he calls evil Sonic out and yells at him that the purpose of his reviews is solely entertainment and discourse, and he couldn't care less about people liking or disliking things he hates or loves, because everyone is allowed to have an opinion. Evil Sonic ''tries'' to [[StrawmanArgument strawman]] him by implying Jadow is saying "I am the only one allowed to have an opinion", but he sets the point straight and then calls out how he is winning this. He cannot take a physical victory, but the moral victory has been his the whole time]]
--->[[spoiler:'''JADOW''': You said I need to win ''one'' fight between to get out of here, but I got news for you Jackass: If I'm living in your head rent-free over my taste in movies or '''''fuckin'''''' ''videogames'', then you can hurl all the abuse you want, 'CUZ I'M THE ONE WHO'S ''WINNING''!!!]]

** He gives one to Mikiko in part 2 of his Diakatana review.
review. [[note]]Mikiko's motivation for betraying her friends at the end of the game is to avenge the honor of some ancient barbarians and thieves that she's distantly related to. This is one of the thinnest motivations you could possibly imagine.[[/note]]
** He gives many of these to both Samus and Adam over the course of his Metroid: Other M review.
review. [[note]]Samus for constantly handicapping herself in a futile and desperate bid to please an abusive surrogate father figure; Adam himself for treating Samus like shit the entire game and regularly putting her and his marines at risk by arbitrarily limiting her weapons.[[/note]]
** He gives a major one to Dr. White in his Mighty No. 9 review.
review. [[note]]The entire plot of the game is Dr. White's fault, Dr. White is a total hypocrite preaching non-violence while making a living building fighting robots, and he's generally a coward that runs away from all of his mistakes; even leaving his own father to rot in prison when Blackwell stops Trinity's initial breakdown.[[/note]]
** He gives one to Peter Parker in his Spider-Man: Edge of Time review.
review. [[note]]Peter insists on staying in the future in a selfish bid to protect his loved ones; despite having just been told that he's vital to the timeline and his intended actions would lead to countless deaths. Furthermore Peter only abandons his plan when someone he personally knows is put in danger.[[/note]]
** He gives a big one to Mitchell in his Hunt Down the Freeman review. [[note]]Through the entire second half of the game Mitchell seems to go out of his way to harm mankind (already enslaved by the Combine) as much as possible; refusing to join the resistance for twenty years for no apparent reason and helping to kill the Resistance (possibly dooming mankind once and for all) for a chance at petty revenge on Gordon Freeman.[[/note]]
