History YMMV / Barshens

* MemeticMutation: "''#BARRYWASROBBED''", originally a joke by Editor Linton to protest Barry's unjust loss of points in a game became a running joke among the [=YouTube=] commenters. Barry's name is sometimes changed to someone else depending on the situation.
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: As revealed at the end of the "Mash-Up Taste Test" video, [=YouTube=]'s original excitement and generosity towards the show had nearly evaporated by mid-2017. While the company originally promised the Barshens team their own dedicated set that would be used to demonstrate professional lighting, a few months after the series' first birthday, [=YouTube=] would no longer store even a ''paper backdrop that Stuart had made at his own expense'' at their London studio. Several cast members would later implicate that, despite the show being extremely fun to do and cultivating a passionate fanbase, it did not reach the viewership numbers [=YouTube=] had expected of it, resulting in many privileges originally given to the team being revoked.

** The ''[[https://youtu.be/aoYpIN9lYEU Wish Quiz]]'' episode saw Chris (normally the behind-the-scenes sound engineer) show Stuart, Barry, Eli and Ryan items for sale on the wish.com website and ask them what they thought the items were advertised as. She gave them each a "Speedknob" card[[note]]A piece of cardboard with a penis drawn on it[[/note]] to play if they thought the item was marketed as a sex toy. One particular item had all four players play their Speedknob cards and discuss the various ways it could be used. [[Main/OhCrap Chris's face said it all]].
-->'''Chris''': It's a [[Main/PrecisionFStrike fucking]] [[spoiler:flask]], guys!!

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Among the cast outside of the main duo, Eli is the most popular with fans. Ryan (Cousin Dan) is also fairly popular whenever he makes an appearance.

-->'''Stuart''': That was not in any way weird or problematic.
