You can't force people to love you, anyone who tells you to love yourself is just trying to manipulate you and give you an enemy. In life, there will always be someone better than you and you can't live a healthy life by shaming others or bullying them for putting an effort into looking after themselves. People don't always know what's best for themselves and hard work defines your self-value.

** "10 Most Terrible Deaths in History", the fifth episode of ''Twisted Tens'', repeats the oft-repeated, yet completely unsubstantiated assertion that Hisashi Ouchi was kept alive against his will for the sake of medical experimentation, when in reality he was kept alive only because his family held powers of attorney, and believed the doctors could save him no matter how obvious it was that his death was inevitable. The segment on the incident also shows the image of a burn victim often claimed to be Ouchi; this too has been repeatedly disproven, as the patient in the image is missing their left lower leg and has their arms suspended over a bed in an ordinary hospital ward; amputation was not used during Ouchi's treatment, and he was placed on a special tilting bed in an attempt to stimulate blood flow, and a radiation ward, to eliminate the risk of infection, as his immune system had been destroyed.
** "Serial Killer Files 26", featuring Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, repeats the myth that he was some sort of legendary assassin responsible for over 200 deaths. This has been disproved by law enforcement and mob experts, who noted that Kuklinksi's claims were fanciful tales made after he was already serving a life sentence, and he can barely qualify as a serial killer as most of his confirmed victims were small time drug dealers and members of his own gang.

* TooDumbToLive: In Rob's Theme Park Accidents episodes, he describes how a girl at a theme park had all of her hair torn off and most of her scalp taken off with it after her hair got caught in the mechanisms of a spinning boat ride, seemingly an example of this being played straight. Legally, all theme parks have to enforce that guests with long hair tie it back and keep it away from moving parts in rides but did not do so in this case. Thus, this accident was all their fault, making this an aversion of the trope.

''Seriously Strange'' is an online {{horror}} series created and hosted by Rob Gavagan (formerly Rob Dyke). He tells stories of the deathly, mentally unstable, and all-around unsettling. Sporting a perpetual KubrickStare and a mesmerizing voice, he tells of a string of happenings all under one topic, more often than not having to do with death. He doesn't sugarcoat anything on the show (besides, perhaps, blurring out extremely disturbing images), nor do the show's artists, who can make some pretty horrifically detailed drawings.

''Seriously Strange'' is an online {{horror}} series created and hosted by Rob Gavagan (formerly Rob Dyke). To sum up the show, imagine a slightly younger, [[BadassBeard bearded]] Creator/RodSerling telling you stories of the deathly, mentally unstable, and all-around unsettling. This is exactly what Rob does, sporting a perpetual KubrickStare and a mesmerizing voice in which he tells of a string of happenings all under one topic, more often than not having to do with death. He doesn't sugarcoat anything on the show (besides, perhaps, blurring out extremely disturbing images), nor do the show's artists, who can make some pretty horrifically detailed drawings.
It began in February 2014, with Rob sort of adding a humorous tinge to the feel of the show. However, this was scrapped quickly as the show's contents grew grimmer and more gruesome, for obvious reasons. ''Seriously Strange'' branched out into several subseries:
* Series updating on Wednesdays:
** The regular series.
** ''Twisted Tens'', which consists of top 10 list videos.
** ''Caught on Camera'', which consists of horrifying or bizarre events that were caught on film.
** ''Truth or Tale?'', which consists of five creepy stories either real or fictional.
* Series updating on Fridays:
** ''Question Everything'', which consists of videos that provide potentially view-changing facts about taboo or popular topics like [[ImAHumanitarian cannibalism]], [[ApocalypseHow the end of the world]] and aliens.
** ''Into the Dark'', narrating true scary stories posted on social media.
* Series updating on Sundays:
** ''Anatomy of Murder'' (formerly ''Serial Killer Files''), which depicts the life of crime of a certain killer.

In February 2016, the show's intro got a revamp, complete with an [[WebVideo/HonestTrailers Epic Voice Guy]] for one of the episodes, and a much briefer warning title. The show also received a new intro theme and background music.
In January 2019, Rob Dyke legally changed his last name to Gavagan.

In January 2019, Rob Dyke legally changed his last name to Gavagan. In Rob's own words, he said the name was "not doing him any favors professionally", which makes since sense considering that it's [[DontExplainTheJoke also a derogatory term for lesbian women]], and that [=YouTube=] has allegedly targeted his own name as a reason for demonetization.

''Seriously Strange'' is an online {{horror}} series created and hosted by Rob Gavagan (formerly Rob Dyke). To sum up the show, imagine a slightly younger, [[BadassBeard bearded]] Creator/[[RodSerling]] telling you stories of the deathly, mentally unstable, and all-around unsettling. This is exactly what Rob does, sporting a perpetual KubrickStare and a mesmerizing voice in which he tells of a string of happenings all under one topic, more often than not having to do with death. He doesn't sugarcoat anything on the show (besides, perhaps, blurring out extremely disturbing images), nor do the show's artists, who can make some pretty horrifically detailed drawings.
