• During his video analysis on the Marathon trilogy, he lightens the mood considerably when the analysis gets a bit too existentially dense:
  • A major step was hiring Gianni Matragrano to play the part of Durandal during showcases of his log entries from the second game onward. Gianni brings the AI to life with a snide hissing demeanor and Large Ham take that occasionally gives way to seemingly-offscript remarks.
    Durandal: You are Destiny 2™, preorder Season 69; Season of the Ffffucking Bullshit now. [Audible wheezing]
• Most of what Alberich gets up to during the course of Ring amuses Mandalore to no end. Highlights include his extensive amount of insults for the Nibelungen and Mime, repeatedly hitting Mime just because he likes doing it, the visage of him surfing across the nine realms to roast the rhinemaidens with increasingly loud booming noises, and footage of Alberich barrelling directly into the screen on a transit rail with a blank stare and dying on impact.
  • Mandy's reason for bundling coverage of the sequel in with the main game? Because the game has been so temperamental when it comes to getting it running to test the viability for a later video, that he's almost certain if he doesn't do it now, it will never run properly again.
  • Doubly so when Alberich returns in the sequel and gets hit with The Other Darrin so hard that his personality shifts from a Card-Carrying Villain to a Dirty Coward hits Mandy so hard that he has to make a Double Take and is bewildered by the horrendous decision that it visibly affected his sanity both during his stream AND the review.
• The end of the Myth II video is initially Nightmare Fuel... And then the Myrkridian appears and it proves to be utterly incapable of being intimidating, with the implication that the soldier just kills it. Then it cuts to a sequence with Soulblighter telling the story of the series so far to the boy he blinded in the game's intro.
  Child: So they're just bat people?
  Soulblighter: Yes.
  Child: Then why was Balor so scared of their flag?
  Soulblighter: Mmm, I dunno. Maybe he just hates bats.
  Child: (gives a thumbs up with a cloth wrapped around his eyes) Thanks for making sure I never see them!
  Soulblighter: (Thumbs up with a goofy grin) You are most welcome, boy!
• When Mandy is comparing the combat between Dead Space (Remake) and The Callisto Protocol in his review on the latter, he brings up how the latter has a different approach to combat than the former. What plays is a highly detailed edit of Jacob confronting an enemy in the style of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure which all builds up to playing the sound clip of Marv being electrocuted as Jacob shocks the enemy with his baton. There's also something to be said about how Mandy briefly spoke in Japanese for this joke.
  Mandy: Okay, this might have been exaggerated.
• His commentary during the stampede section of Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 is full of Rapid-Fire Comedy, containing such gems as "Howl's Moving Castle Doctrine," and "I saw the Impala reaching." Mandy's sheer bewilderment at the oncoming horde of animals is also worth a few laughs.
  • His observations about how the absurd levels of conscious malice, intent and power the animals are capable of lead him to believe the Black Lions are the remnants of an ancient civilization, the alpha being an emperor of darkness that has the other alpha animals under its thrall as demon generals.
  • The weirdly personal conflicts involved with the animals have Mandy consistently comparing key boss encounters to Metal Gear antagonists, with the grizzly that killed Jacob and Luke's father being a stand in for Big Boss, and the assumption the one the brothers killed was just Big Bear's body double, Venom Bear.
• The sound mixing in Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders has an unpleasant glitch Mandy refers to as "nuclear cheering". He also exclusively calls the initial antagonist "Baywatch Sauron" and "Rick Blood".
