Film Franchises:

    Marvel Cinematic Universe 
Ant-Man
  • Early on:
    Darren: Was the Ant-Man real?
    Hank: Just a tall tale.
    Lee: [voiceover] Get it? Because he's short.
  • He calls the weapon Darren uses to kill Frank a "Pile O' Goo Gun."
  • Lee dubs over Zoolander audio from the "Center for Ants" scene when Scott dodges bullets while running through a model of Pym Technologies.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

  • Every time Taserface appears, Lee finds some new way to butcher his already atrocious name into something even more atrocious that rhymes with it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

  • As The Stinger plays, Lee laughingly mutters that maybe Captain America should be in prison for mocking him for staying after the credits.

Thor: Ragnarok

  • Lee starting the video by playing clips of the Marvel Studios marquee sequence... with the infamous Taika Waititi DVD commentary.
  • Lee saying Korg is always a win, wondering if characters can be "always a win", and decides that it's a new rule. Considering this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where characters and actors return, this rule ends up being plausible.
  • Lee is glad the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's vault is cleared up as Hela shoves it aside and simply declares it "Fake!"
  • Lee becomes unintelligible upon Thor unleashing lightning without Mjölnir and kicking the asses of Hela's horde.

Avengers: Endgame

  • Albeit censored, Lee happily saying "Son of a bitch."
  • When Tony asks Pepper about composting, Lee slowly fades in a picture of a compost bin on sale on Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop website and, when Pepper says it's an "interesting science", immediately gives out an annoyed "Hmph." when he sees that the bin costs $180.00. Oh, and no wins were given.
  • On Prof. Hulk's "I see this as an absolute win" line: "(laughs briefly) You're hired!"
  • On Prof. Hulk and Rocket meeting Korg, Miek and Fat Thor:
    Lee: Two CGI characters enter a house to converse with two other CGI characters and a guy in a fat suit... (Interposes Hawkeye from Age of Ultron) "None of this makes sense."
  • On Fat Thor, himself:
    Rocket: You look like melted ice cream.
    Lee: (voiceover) You mean Chris Hemsworth's workout routine! Look at those abs; just a little subcutaneous fat!
  • On Scott Lang mentioning "America's Ass": "Yup."
  • As Lee was featuring the word "Liebchen"* as his "CinemaWins German Word of the Week", he added this note after the suggested meanings:
    Lee's note: Google likes 'Sweetheart'; I am, however, thinking about requesting 'ducky' as my new nickname.
  • Lee just giving in to the Squee during the Portals scene, therefore losing control of the win counter, and bumping himself on to his microphone and a random trash bin.
  • Lee taking a light jab at Martin Scorsese:
    [Subtitle reads: "more incoherence, who knows what he's babbling about, something about a raging taxi aviator gang..."]
    Lee: [whispering] Not cinema, not cinema.. What the f-

WandaVision

    Lee: Ahh!
    Win Counter: *ding*
  • The explanation for the CinemaWins Phrase of The Week in Episode 5 ("get a leg over") is humorously succinct:
    sex. to have sex
  • This moment when "Pietro" takes off with Billy and Tommy to steal candy and cause chaos on the block.
    Tommy: Kickass!
    Billy: Kickass!
    "Pietro": I feel the need!
    Tommy: For speed! ["Pietro" howls and runs off with Billy and Tommy]
    Wanda: "Kickass"?
    Lee: No, that was your other brother...well actually, both of them, I guess.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

  • Lee's reaction to Floor's introduction:
    Lee: Nope. Nuh-uh. Too far, Gunn. You're fired. Really kill it with fire this time. I refuse to let demon android bunny grow on me.
  • Quill tries to use his charm on Ura, only for Gamora to undercut his efforts by pulling a gun on Ura:
    Quill: She was totally into me, man!
    Ura: I kinda thought you were a douchebag!
    Lee: Why, 'cus he isn't a rat...that you catch? She's Ratcatcher II from The Suicide Squad.
  • When Gamora kneecaps Kwol, the Orgosphere security chief played by Jennifer Holland:
    Lee: Hahaha, brutal. Harcourt's pretty tough, though. [Kwol screams in pain as she's dragged away] Or maybe not.

    Star Wars 
The Phantom Menace

Attack of the Clones

  • During the peach scene:
    Lee: [genuinely confused and unsure] ...Flirting...? [ding]

    • Legs: Why Robotic Ones Are Better Note

A New Hope

The Empire Strikes Back

  • When the two star destroyers collide with each other, Lee says that not even the Empire is above making Jar Jar-level mistakes—and then wistfully mutters that Vader would have force choked him out so fast.

Return of the Jedi

Rogue One

  • Lee becomes unintelligible and passes out, leaving the win counter running, during the Darth Vader Hallway Massacre.

The Force Awakens

  • One of the reasons Lee likes the it is because Rey whines considerably less than the previous protagonists.

The Last Jedi

  • Lee expresses his exasperation with the film's polarizing status.
    Lee: Remember those days? When the biggest complain about Star Wars was that Rey was too powerful? (wistfully) Those were the days.
  • The milking scene subtracting a win, because it was that gross.
  • On Kylo Ren's Shirtless Scene:
    Lee: Hahaha, meme win. (ding) But come on, Adam Driver's workout routine. Being so wide that you're memed isn't a bad thing. (ding)
  • The Award is "The One Thing Chewie Needed". It shows Chewie about to take a bite out of a roasted Porg with the "salt" observation (from the battle of Crait) dubbed over.

The Rise of Skywalker

  • During the entry of the Knights of Ren, a Stormtrooper calls them "Ghouls". Lee mishears it by way of a Bad Lip Reading reference:
    Lee: "Gulls?" As in Seagulls?

Everything else:

  • Pretty much any time Lee gets scared of something. Sometimes he'll win them anyway, but occasionally he'll rescind wins if it comes as a surprise.
  • Godzilla (2014):
    • Lee yelling "Screw you, movie!" while deducting a win for the death of Joe Brody.
    • Lee passing out and the win counter going up several points when Godzilla fires his atomic breath down Femuto's throat.
  • Kingsman: The Golden Circle: Lee wonders if he's allowed to show the tracker entering Clara's vagina...while the footage is playing.
  • Harry Potter:
  • Justice League (2017):
    • When Barry Allen references Pet Sematary (1989), Lee suddenly goes off on a lengthy tangent about a time when he was 8 years old and his teacher accidentally showed his class the film, only to switch to Ferngully when she noticed the children were starting to sweat. Then Lee realized that his father, a lumberjack apparently, was the villain of the movie, which apparently led to Lee also killing many trees before settling down to do videos on Youtube. Then he assures the viewers that no, he wasn't referring to his dad as a black slime monster played by Tim Curry. Then he discovers with incredulity that they're remaking Pet Semetary with a target release date of 2019. THEN he wins Barry for clairvoyance. When Barry later brings up Pet Sematary again, Lee starts to go off on yet another tangent but his audio fades out before he can waste the viewer's time again and he gets back on track right away.
  • The Lord of the Rings:
    • Lee thinks every single actor in the series did a fantastic job with their performances...except for one. That one extra playing a guard in the background in one scene.
      • Except that guy did a good job, too.
    • What does he do when his video is a two parter and he knows some fans won't be happy about that? Play footage of his son playing in a puddle with the text "Be Distracted By the Cute Baby" on the screen.
    • "Doug's dead."
  • The Amazing Spider-Man:
    • When a certain shot of Gwen comes up, Lee notes how weird it is that lap dances aren't addressed.
    • At the point where Peter realizes his face is visible to those he fights, Lee narrates that he knows what to do now...get facial reconstruction surgery to look like Tom Holland (he even replaces the luchador mask with Holland's face).
  • The Lion King (1994):
  • Lee did the unthinkable and made an "Everything GREAT About YouTube Rewind 2018" video. Only for the very first "win" to be a big text card saying "NOTHING." However, he does give a win for JaidenAnimations. Then the rest of this ten minute video is just the outro music playing over another text card saying "Subscribe to PewDiePie." In the video description he says the video is a joke and he actually doesn't hate it as much as most people do.
  • "Everything Great About Threat Level Midnight"
  • Knives Out:
  • Birds of Prey (2020)
    • He nearly drops a win because Harley set fire to a goon's beautiful beard, but gives it to her for a brutal win.
    • He also chuckles during Harley's scene of her continuously stabbing Zsasz with the needle, pausing when everyone gets into a Mexican Stand Off and giving his body one more stab.
    • As Sionis gets blown up, Lee takes time to point out that his body parts look like they're forming a smiley face.
  • The Mitchells vs. the Machines
    • After Katie's comment that she can figure out a robot's arm-gun if she managed to teach herself Photoshop, Lee gives an affirmative since he taught himself Photoshop and Premiere and now knows everything.
      Lee: Because I pretend like Blender doesn't exist.
  • Godzilla vs. Kong has a Running Gag in which Lee claims that Godzilla is a Sir Swears-a-Lot, whereas Kong is extremely stuffy and formal. Godzilla's subtitles get Censored for Comedy while Kong sounds like a proper British gentleman.
    • Speaking of Running Gags, Lee suddenly dipping into "Philosophy Wins" moments for every time he explains scenes with philosophical undertones.
    • (singing) "Lizard and Monkey killing Mechagodzilla / Saving the World, and starting a relationship."
  • The Batman (2022): When Commissioner Savage tells Batman "Happy fucking Halloween", Lee deadpan notes that Jude tells him this every year.
  • Zack Snyder's Justice League:
