YMMV / Cas van de Pol

• Awesome Art: Son Goku's fights against Vegeta and Freeza are incredibly well-animated.
• Awesome Music: It's actually a simple formula: just grab a few random sound clips from Cas' videos, then add some funky techno music, put them all in a blender, and VOILA, you've got the epic Voice Clip Song that is Put That Thing Back.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Mr Bean pushing an old lady down a flight of stairs just for being really slow? Mean. Seeing Mr Bean get pushed down the stairs from behind by the same old lady? A savoury blend of absurdism and just desserts.
  • Mr Bean headbutts the Queen hard enough to pulverise her skull. Cut to live footage of the Queen's funeral.
  • In the Dragonball Z recap, Mr Popo is pixellated out and Kami is ashamed to be with him.
  • Also from Dragonball Z, Dodoria can be seen bludgeoning a namekian with his own dismembered arm.
• Jerkass Woobie: Mr. Bean is as antisocial as ever, especially towards that blue van. With that being said, having his video ending with him being enslaved by a shadowy production and forced to spruik their YouTube channel while looking visibly frightened, you can't help but feel a little bad for him.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • SIMBA.
  • "Alex the lion, what are you doing in my car?"
  • Toothless dancing to "Driftveil City" from Pokémon Black and White. So much so that Cas even made a green-screen template of the meme and also variants of it.
    • There's also a memetic clip of Toothless yawning as well, though not quite to the same extent.
• Nightmare Fuel: The part where Hagrid bursts in to pick up Harry. Even though it's brief, him showing up at the door is accompanied by a hideous growling sound and his face is... disturbingly detailed^note Squick notwithstanding, he's making a very creepy face and his teeth are big, pointy and rotten. To the point it's jarringly different from the usual style. That face is just plain horrifying and even doubles as a Jump Scare in motion.
• Parody Displacement: The Toothless dancing scene from the How To Train Your Dragon recap has become way more well known than the original Dancing Lizard meme it was referencing.
• Squick:
  • The title card for the Shrek recap involves the titular ogre's feces in place of the S.
  • For the Into the Spider-Verse recap, Kingpin is not only disemboweled, but he's strung up by his entrails instead of webbing.
