  • In his video, "How to Escape Lorelei's Game Ending Softlock", his absurdly triumphant tone when he comes up with a solution, despite it having a one-in-68 quindecillion chance of working.
    Christian: And there you have it, proof that the softlock in Lorelei's room is technically possible to escape from. I mean, no one is ever going to be able to do it, and you're still much better off starting the game over from the beginning, but the point is, I proved someone wrong on the internet. And at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters? So sorry Crystal, it looks like this little impossible situation of yours isn't so impossible after all. You thought you had it all figured out, but little did you know, I had nothing better to do today than to earn the award for finding the most useless piece of Pokémon trivia.
  • His video on the "Top 6 Jerks in Pokémon", most of whom are discussed for about two minutes and can reasonably be described as The Scrappy or a deliberate Hate Sink. #3, on the other hand:
    Christian: You want me to pay how much for that bike?!
  • From the FireRed/LeafGreen Slakoth run, the list of things that cause Slakoth's Truant ability to activate and skip its turn:
    Truant activates when:
    - Slakoth misses
    - Slakoth flinches
    - Slakoth hurts itself in confusion
    - Slakoth is paralyzed
    - Slakoth was asleep
    - Slakoth existed the previous turn
  • Pikasprey's tendency to tempt fate in his ongoing Purity Forest runs for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team leads to many hilarious moments.
    Christian: (Having previously dodged a near-death experience by Clefairies with Tyrogue.) That was hell and a half right there. Let's get going. (Immediately gets pecked to death by a Spearow.)
  • The conclusion to his attempt to recruit Kecleon in the original Mystery Dungeon, to the point where the thumbnail for the episode was just a background filled with Kecleon sprites.
    Christian: (responding to a viewer) "Would you do a video about Kecleon hunting? What'm - What am I going to say? "This is really boring!" (Christian's Typhlosion boops another Kecleon. This time, it doesn't fade, and Christian promtply begins hyperventilating.) Oh, oh - CHAAAAAT, IT HAPPENED! IT'S NOT BORING ANYMORE!
  • His Ditto run of Red and Blue ran into an odd glitch where his Ditto was somehow unable to use Struggle despite being out of PPnote , leading to the game freezing when a Drowzee uses Disable and the game evidently having no idea how to process it.
    Christian: Apparently I just softlocked the game. I wasn't even trying to this time.
    • He later manages to get past that Trainer using Struggle, only for the glitch to kick in again later on down the line and stay for the entire playthrough, eliminating one of his strategies for beating the game.
      Christian: That's right, ladies and gentlemen: my Ditto forgot how to use Struggle.
  • The Ditto shenanigans continued into Crystal, where he ran into a Scientist in the Rocket HQ:
    Christian: One notable thing here though is this scientist right here. You see, his only Pokemon is also a Ditto. Because my Ditto is at a much higher level, it always goes first, causing it to transform into his Ditto, but then when his Ditto tries to transform into mine it fails, because you cannot transform into a transformed Pokemon, even when it's transformed into the same Pokemon that it was before it transformed. So what ends up happening is that my Ditto transforms every turn, causing Transform's PP to always be reset to 5, and because the Transform of his Ditto is failing, he slowly loses his PP until he is forced to struggle me to death. So for this battle I'm pretty much forced to sit there until I'm defeated by my own stupid strategy.
    • The icing on the cake is that while he's narrating this, the screen slowly fades to a Ditto's face.
