YMMV / Feeding the Trolls

Go To

  • Anvilicious: The second episode on Irwin Baxtor is not at all subtle about how climate change is an extremely serious issue that nothing is being done about.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • In the second episode regarding 3PAC, Weasel makes a joke that 3PAC is dead in the music video. A few months later, 3PAC died for real. Weasel took note of this. In the same video, Weasel makes a joke on how 3PAC and another woman (revealed to be a close friend of 3PAC) flailing their arms while on their back makes it look like 3PAC's mom is teaching him how to swim before getting into the pool. 3PAC suffered a heart attack during a water polo training session which would later lead to his death.
    • In Weasel's second video on MonkeyGamerGuides (and the second episode in general), Weasel mentions that all he could find on the PS2God (whom MGG claims to have "went to war" with) was that he was a former Youtuber who left the website after his videos received numerous false flags from someone who wasn't MGG. Weasel then goes on to mentions that false DMCA notices are a crime. Guess what major dilemma YouTubers have been facing for a long while now?
    • In a related example, in Weasel's first video on Coppercab, Coppercab brags about how he has friends who can supposedly silence those who oppose him. If Weasel made that video today, he would likely take him a lot more seriously, what with the outbreak of YouTubers having videos criticising them taken down with horrifying ease. Granted Coppercab wouldn't need to claim to have friends to silence people for him since he could just do it himself.
    • In his video on Captain Crazyfication he talks about how Crazyfication did a video mocking Jew Wario’s death as being incredibly tasteless. The moment becomes quite cringeworthy in light of Jew Wario’s posthumous sex abuse allegations.
  • Heartwarming Moments: His reason for delaying his last feeding of James the Preacher is due to not wanting the video to be too soon after the recent tragedy related to it (a school shooting).
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: More than a few people pointed out that xXTheAmazingMasterOfSwagXx's voice modulation program was the same used in the infamous Bonzi Buddy program.
  • I Knew It!: In the show's early days, Weasel has alluded several times to the inevitability of gay marriage's legalization. This prediction came to pass in June of 2015, when gay marriage officially became accepted nationwide.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The ending to 50 Ways Trees Affect Society Part II. Jesus. H. Christ.
  • Special Effect Failure: The scoreboard in 50 Shades of Stupid runs into this a few times. There are at least two instances where the scores aren't displayed and when Weasel shows the source article for example 38, the scores are accidentally overlaid onto the article.
    • In the Lord Steven Christ feeding, Nassuman's green shirt becomes transparent as a result of the green screen.
  • Squick: His 2021 Christmas Special was on an instructional video on how to make your feces not smell bad. Not only did he ask how he would know the things in the video but also it was only relevant if you’re regularly smelling the contents of a toilet.
  • Tear Jerker: Appears to be tragically averted with Nassuman moving to Florida, effectively leaving the show. There are virtually no comments showing sadness about Nassuman leaving or even acknowledging it, despite it being revealed at the end of the first Tai Lopez episode, Weasel doing one last co-op episode with Nassuman because of him moving while referencing it throughout, and the end of his 2015 Halloween special including Weasel somberly staring out of his door, wishing Nassuman good luck in Florida.note 
    • It probably doesn't help that he's still incorporating Nassuman into the show with his helmet, which he left for Weasel.
    • His response to the #ChangeTheChannel controversy. His intro explains how back in high school, he was a huge fan of Channel Awesome and the Nostalgia Critic, and cited them as his main inspiration for creating content with some vague hopes of joining the ranks one day. As he reads the response to the Not So Awesome document, Weasel verbally hopes that Doug Walker had nothing to do with it and expresses relief that he never joined and stayed out of the ensuing shitstorm. It's like Weasel is on the verge of seeing CA and Walker as Broken Pedestals, but is vainly clinging onto any trace of faith he has left on the site.
