  • In "Is Varli Okay?" Danny makes fun of Varli's silent scream by saying it looks like an intense yawn. Cue a Cutaway Gag where a tired man lets out a yawn that destroys his entire office and kills his coworker. It ends with a Parody Product Placement for Dunkin' coffee.
  • In his review of What's Up? Balloon to the Rescue!, Danny points out how weird the Get A Hold Of Yourself Man trope is and takes it to its logical extreme, snapping someone out of a mental breakdown by kicking them in the face.
    "Oh, you may be having a panic attack, but get ready for a physical attack, bitch!"
  • In the Titanic: The Legend Goes On review, he gets a kick out of how often the characters end conversations in rushed and unnatural ways. It's parodied in a skit about the director bursting in and throwing a tantrum, while demanding the animators just "End the scene, end it now!", even if the characters just started talking a second ago.
  • In the "Terrifying Alpha Male Club", Danny describes the titular club as a never-ending bachelor party for men whose wives have already left them.
    • He also deliberately misinterprets a bad effect as the man having fire magic, then insists that all of the club should be focused on that.
  • In "Unintentionally Terrifying Children’s Videos", Danny concludes that the ice cream song would be better with a rap verse, and adds one.
  • In "I Tried Ghost Hunting To See If It’s Fake", Danny attributes pressing his nose down and smelling a wet spot in his room to a possession by a piss goblin.
    • In the same video, he points out that the way ghost hunters typically talk to ghosts comes off as condescending, so he needs to be on their level. Cue Danny dressing as a cowboy, putting on an accent, and casually offering the ghosts gold dust.
  • In his review of Pixel Perfect, he expresses confusion at why all the lead singer auditionees in the Terrible Interviewees Montage are doing things in their tryouts like slam poetry and Irish dancing instead of singing. He notes that poetry and dancing are close to singing, but at an audition you're not supposed to do something that's just "close" to what you're trying out for. This leads to a skit where he plays a Literal-Minded would-be actor who, when reading for the part of Spider-Man, sprouts spider legs out of his back and shoots webs out of his butt to "prove" he's perfect for the role, much to the horror of the interviewer.
    Danny as Interviewer: This is not gonna help you get the part! You're supposed to be a lovable superhero who goes around, like, solving crimes and shooting webs!
    Danny as Actor: Yeah, out of my ass, right?
    • Later during the same movie scene, he posits that Roscoe should've gone all-in on giving the hologram Loretta dance moves impossible for any other singer to replicate, like defying physics or turning into an airplane. Him wanting Loretta to turn into a plane at some point because it'd be "sick" becomes a Running Gag throughout the review, culminating in a skit in which Danny plays Roscoe and his dad in a scene where the latter confronts the former over the folder of women's pictures left on his desk. Said skit ends with Roscoe inadvertently discovering his dad is a hologram when he tries to hug him and ends up going through him, and Roscoe's dad being so embarrassed by this that he turns into a plane and flies away, while his son screams for him to come back.
    Danny: Hell yeah dude, I told you it'd be sick if they turned into airplanes.
  • In his video about Justin Bieber's "Yummy", Danny, apparently unfamiliar with hip-hop slang, mistakes Justin calling his lover a "stallion" as a Compliment Backfire in the form of literally calling her a male horse.note  This is funny enough on its own, but it gets called back during his own version of "Yummy."
    You're a crazy fucking horse who's on the run from the police
    Crazy horse don't hurt me please
    Begging on my knees baby
    Crazy horse don't hurt me please
    What law did this horse break?
  • Although it could also be considered absurd Nightmare Fuel, the part where the nutcracker comes to life in "Commercials From My Nightmares" is so weird it's hilarious. Danny uses the Tac-Visor on it, turning it from a cute statue to a painted-up Danny in a nutcracker costume. He's initially disbelieving that Danny can now see him, Danny is stunned and horrified, and the creepy living nutcracker starts screaming that he's now a real boy...until Danny takes off the visor and says to the audience, in the flattest tone possible, "It didn't work."
    • "Painted-up Danny in a nutcrack costume" would then return in the end of his "This Nutcracker Knockoff Is a Nightmare" video.
    Danny: Oh. Oh no…
    Nutcracker!Danny: FINALLYYYYYY!
    Danny: AAAAAAAAA-
  • In his Z-O-M-B-I-E-S (2018) review, he compares the cheerleader who asks Addison if she wore corrective lenses to Jimmy Neutron.
    Danny: We would hate to find out that sometimes when you get a good idea you say "Think, think, think, brain blast". Oh boy, the school would have a field day with that one.
