  • Approval of God: A bizarre case: HuniePop dev Ryan Koons stated he thoroughly enjoyed Dan's video on the game - a video in which he quite simply ripped the game to pieces.
  • Colbert Bump: When Notch retweeted Dan's anniversary update, the site was crushed under the strain of Notch's followers. For weeks.
    • Dan's video on Overgrowth caused the games sales to increase dramatically after it was posted, which the developers acknowledge.
    • In April 2015 he released a video of the game Outer Wilds, causing the Procrastinators to crash the download server with traffic.
  • Fan Community Nickname: "Procrastinators".
  • Trolling Creator: Depending on your reaction, Dan's channel reboot shown during his 12 hour livestream might make you a little sad or angry. The in the last quarter of the video it is revealed that Ashens will be taking over Dan's YouTube channel in the following month. After a few hours, the whole thing was revealed as a joke and many of Dan's fans exploded with anger over the fact they got played.
  • Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: Ever since the November 2013 YouTube comment section was introduced, Dan got a lot of spam links on his videos. As such, he took to disabling comments on his newer videos entirely, only allowing comments via sub-Reddits. This was later averted when he opened up the YouTube comment section again on all his videos, including ones that were uploaded during the time he kept them closed.
