"I'm not a violent man, but girl... *unsheathes knife* ...I am starving."
— Coach's final words to Rochelle, right before butchering her alive
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
In General
- The premise of the series is this if you look through its comedic facade. Coach is a Humanoid Abomination who had developed strange behavior, Reality Warping powers and craving for human flesh and is now actively hunting down Nick with the intent to capture and eat him. There is NOTHING in the world that would stop him from accomplishing his goal, meaning he can and will murder anyone along the way, — even single-handedly taking out an entire unit in less than a minute, to boot — and under no circumstances can he be killed. Just about any scene where Coach is on-screen with Nick or his allies will change to a dark and horrific tone.Coach: Nick, good news: I'm here!Nick: AAAAHHHH SHIIIIIIIIT!!
Tasty Cools 2: Electric Coachaloo
- The Jump Scare that occurs when Coach barges straight through Nick and his POV camera, piles of food wrapped in his arms.
Tasty Cools 3: The Coach Has Eyes
- The entirety of Tasty Cools 3 is a Slasher Movie Played Straight, in which Coach terrorizes Rochelle in her home, culminating in Coach succeeding in capturing and killing her, then eating some of her flesh.
Tasty Cools 4: or How I Learned to Quit Fussin' and Love the Coach
- Coach announcing his intent to Nick by sabotaging the radio on Ellis' car.Coach: Warning. Report Nicholas. No entry beyond Whispering Oaks. Use of deadly force authorized. Ellis equals lies. Hmph! I'm comin', boy! I'm gonna beat Nick's ass! Aaaahahahahahahahaaaa!
Tasty Cools 5: Coachocalypse Now
- The Mood Whiplash that occurs when Coach appears from behind a soldier and impales his head on a crowbar.
Tasty Cools 6: A Fistful of Donuts
- Coach killing Duke Nukem for flipping the bird. What is particularly horrifying is how out of nowhere the death comes from, and how even bystanders are not safe if they sufficiently tick them off for even the pettiest of reasons.
Tasty Cools 7: Bangin' Like a Barbecue Bacon Burger
- The realization that kicks in that Coach had massacred everyone inside a hospital and, seemingly on a whim, acquired a zombie serum and zombified those he murdered. All this in what was likely a very short time after Max Payne had left the hospital.
- HUNK, who was previously a mute, Implacable Man that only makes breathing noises, and easily killed Chris Redfield and dozens of zombies, finally finds his voice while meeting his match in the zombified Chris.
Tasty Cools 8: Stations of the Coach
- The shot where Coach slowly descends behind Max Payne with ominous purple light before lunging at him with fork and knife in hand. In the same episode, when Max Payne asks Coach why is he after Nick, Coach pauses for a moment, then turns to the camera with a Slasher Smile on his face.Coach: Well man, I'm just trying to eat him.
- Between 7 and 8, Coach formed a Cult to help him abduct Nick. Its adherents do not believe in any higher cause or noble intent in their actions. The only reason they are helping is that Coach is giving them the freedom to murder people at their own pleasure.
- Coach's even bigger Slasher Smile when he and his subordinate finally corner Nick. It stays on until Zoey's sister wakes up and saves Nick.Coach: Nicolas, I think it's time for you to DIE!
- Here, we get to see how much of an Invincible Villain Coach really is. In the final act, Zoey's sister detonates Barney's grenade in his hand, with Coach just behind him. If that was not enough, Barney's bandolier of other grenades lands right on him and detonates point-blank, lighting him on fire. And yet despite all of that, he came out moments later naked but completely unscathed. It doesn't matter if he was beaten to a pulp, shot, burnt, or blown to bits, he just gets back up not a minute later with nothing but a broken tooth for one's efforts. He. Cannot. Be. Killed.
Tasty Cools 9: Fights! Viscera! Action!
- How Director Berger and the movie studio storyline are introduced: it's played out like a horror film where the main character is being stalked by a villainous figure in a tight space, making a racket in the area just to frighten them. When he actually appears, Nick wonders how does the director teleport in and out of frame every time Nick tries to decline his offer. It's revealed that he created an entire unit of his clones to hire as staff, all looking and sounding the same.
- While Nick drowns his sorrows after being trapped in a snowy hut out in the woods (one of the movie sets), he tries and fails to smash the window... and then he sees Coach menacingly standing right outside.
- The purpose of Berger's involvement is to create a biopic of Nick and exploit his past tragedies for mere profit. This means having to forcibly abduct him, pit him with freshly-released Coach and clone his late best friend Francis as a part of an offer, and when he refuses they choose to steal his identity and have a clone of his act in his place. It's no wonder that by the time Coach finally reaches Nick after destroying the studio, Nick is left begging Coach to put him out of his misery.
- Before the story switched directions in development, Nick was going to be put in test chambers instead of movie sets. Fridge Horror kicks in as one can imagine what a horrible experience it would've been for Nick, possibly involving psychological torture on a man who had already lived through the worst.
- We finally see Coach eat someone alive on-screen, biting the neck of the Francis clone and killing him effortlessly.Francis Clone: Bite me!Coach: Don't mind if I do.
