Chugga has a tendency to fail on the Breather Level, and often points out that it's probably the main reason people watch him.

- Episode 53: Didn't happen on camera, but Chugga mentioned in the beginning that he cut his finger on a soap dispenser.
Mega Man 2
- Chugga attempts to play Mega Man 2, where Hilarity Ensues. Then again, considering that he says he had never played a Mega Man game before in his life, this kind of performance was to be expected.Chugga: For the love of Pringles in a bag! What the hell?!''
Super Luigi Galaxy
- Episode 11: After repeatedly dying at the beginning of the Cyclone Stone, he facepalms himself
with the Nunchuck.Chugga: "Ow! Nintendo...! Why do you make your stuff so durable?!" - Episode 23: Chugga, on the first purple coin mission in the playthrough, misses ten purple coins. While looking for them, he gets stuck in a planet, forcing him to restart the mission from scratch.
- Episode 25: Cosmic Luigi manages to take the star at the very last second, despite Chugga being in the lead due to the latter colliding into a wall. Twice.
- Episode 27: Chugga falling all the way off the Comet Oberservatory after colliding with a doorway. He even called it an epic fail as it happened.
- Episode 30:
- Chugga runs straight off the start of the stage, thinking that there were secrets there.
- Chugga believed that the Boo form was not affected by water. Ten seconds later, he gets slapped with a Game Over because he touched the water, removing the Boo power and sending him into deadly quicksand.
- Chugga runs straight off
- Episode 33: Chugga tries to shoot himself at a wall with a cannon because he's bored... but he ends up over the wall and dies, shouting in agony.
- Episode 34: Not on camera, but he mentions one failed attempt on Kamella in which he died after getting hit by a green shell... while climbing the flagpole between the two phases of the boss fight.
- Episode 38: A Thwomp manages to glitch Chugga through the floor, killing him.
- Episode 39: Given that the Lava Spire Daredevil Comet is considered That One Level by many, epic fails are a given.

- As he collects the fifth Launch Star chip
Pikmin 2
- Episode 35: Another off-camera incident. He was used to using a laptop, but since it was in for repairs he used a desktop monitor instead. However, he was so used to just closing his laptop instead of pressing the power button on a monitor that he actually grabbed the computer screen and flipped it down onto his keyboard. Keep in mind his monitor is pretty darn big. (His computer's okay, though.)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
- Episode 29: The Let's Play curse in full effect, as the doggy racetrack minigame that normally only takes him one or two tries takes him an entire hour and a half to do. Luckily, the dog would usually place between 3rd and 5th so he didn't lose all of his money betting on them.
- Episode 34: He mentions a huge error in the Prima Player's Guide for that game. In the Great Bay Temple section, the guide recommends you play the Song of Time to get back to the entrance, not the Song of Soaring. You can guess how well that went for everybody who owned that guide.
- Episode 42-43: He managed to trigger two switches perfectly on his first try in Stone Tower Temple, causing a chest containing a Stray Fairy to become accessible. However, the room he was in had two chests, and he mistook the switches as causing the other chest to appear. To top it all off, he missed seeing one of the chests (the one he thought he'd made appear), even when he went to the platform that chest was on to collect Rupees, leading him to conclude he had screwed it up. The post-recording edit text he puts up on screen during episode 42 berates his player self for being so stupid. Episode 43 has the traditional "Turn Your Headphones Down" warning pop up moments before his player self finally figures out where the chest was.
Pokémon Colosseum
- Episode 12: When battling Miror B., he fails to snag a Shadow Pokemon for the first time simply because he was too lazy to buy more Ultra Balls. This becomes something of a Running Gag in the LP, since he would later fail to snag all of the boss' Shadow Pokémon except for Ein's.
- Episode 16: During his fight against Dakim, his Camerupt uses Earthquake while his Entei is still out on the field. Entei loses most of its health and Chugga's Quagsire finishes it off with Surf, preventing him from snagging another Cipher admin's Shadow Pokémon.Chugga: "Hopefully Camerupt will do something stupid, let's see."
- Episode 20: Chuggaa once again fails to capture a Cipher admin's Shadow Pokémon. This time, Venus's Suicune kept using Shadow Rush despite being low on health, and eventually knocked itself out due to taking recoil damage.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
- Episode 27: In the final dungeon, he insists that it's a good idea to hit a crystal switch early to remove a painful obstacle later in the dungeon. What he forgot was that the dungeon forces you to leave it at one point, thus resetting the switch. He even pauses the video in post-editing to warn the viewers about this.
Super Mario 64 DS
- Episode 1: He loses to Koopa the Quick.
Kid Icarus Uprising
- He dies twice in the Lunar Sanctum, the first time is justified because he was fighting Dark Pit on intensity 7, a fight he considers to be very difficult. The second time, however, he dies to a Lurchthorn, an enemy that (along with other worm type enemies) he's described nigh-constantly as being "a joke" and " nearly harmless".
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
- Episode 5: He gets a Game Over on Hoohooros, and to make things worse, he hadn't saved since Stardust Fields.
Pikmin 3
- Episode 7: Being curious about a possible timesave in Day 7, Chugga rewinds time and experiments. His results: he tosses the two bomb rocks into a midst of Pikmin, and learns the hard way that thrown Pikmin always drop their bombs. Cue 43 Pikmin Giving Up the Ghost.
Pokémon Platinum
- Episode 4: It doesn't happen on-camera, but Chugga admits that during one of his early Sinnoh playthroughs, he got a Game Over to a Kricketot used by a Youngster on Route 203, due to only having his starter Pokémon and barely falling short of Two-Hit KOing it while it was using Bide. note
- Episode 55: Chugga begins his first battle against Uxie by throwing a Quick Ball at it, which is sound as the Quick Ball has a 4x chance of capture on the first turn of battle. Unfortunately—or fortunately for the viewers—he immediately follows that up by throwing an Ultra Ball, before realising that the target is still at full health and its HP should be lowered before trying to capture it, one of the most basic rules to playing a Pokémon game.
Splatoon
- Episode 16: He attempts to do the limited ink challenge on Inkvisible Avenues. On his second run, he reaches the Zapfish with only a sliver of ink left, carefully counts the shots to break the barrier, then stops for a few seconds to celebrate... which was enough time for the barrier to respawn. In panic, he starts shooting the shield again, only to run out of ink and lose the mission the moment the barrier breaks again.
Pokémon Black and White
- Episode 54: Chugga is absolutely giddy to finally use the Flying Gem on Roc for the Elite 4 battle, using Acrobatics on Cofagrigus in order to get the Mummy ability to eliminate his Defeatist ability, but his celebration is cut short when he finds out not only did Cofagrigus survive the attack, but used Will-O-Wisp to give Roc a burn.
Chrono Trigger
- Episode 29: Emile is having trouble reading the dialogue of the citizens in Zeal, at one point, he misread the word "knowledge" as "kingdom". He lampshades this as per usual but ended up making a typo where "misread" was spelled as "miread"
