YMMV / Minecraft With Gadget

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: At the time, the only brick blocks in Minecraft were of the stereotypical red variety. However, as of 2021, you can now craft Mud Bricks, which are, indeed, brown bricks.
  • Memetic Mutation: The video has been subjected to this quite a lot, with the lines "I love building (brown) bricks with Minecrap" and "Mineycrafta" being quoted and made fun of quite often by Cinemassacre fans (as well as SiIvaGunner fans). Due to his strong regret revolving around the video, it took a while for Mike Matei himself to finally come to terms with and eventually embrace the memetic status of the video.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Inspector Gadget crosses this when he shoots and kills Mike just for talking when he didn't want him to. Then, as if to add insult to injury, he implies that he's going to take Mike's iPad now that he's dead.
  • Sequel Displacement: For many viewers, this seems like a totally random skit. For other longtime Cinemassacre fans, it was obvious Inspector Gadget here was directly inspired by the interactive Inspector Gadget animation that James Rolfe and Mike played with on a The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! DVD. This video was not available on YouTube for many years, being Cinemassacre.com-exclusive. It was eventually reuploaded here.
  • So Bad, It's Good: Many people have considered the video to be this, likely due to the dumb jokes, Bad "Bad Acting", and extremely Limited Animation on Inspector Gadget. Although this was likely the intention Matei had when creating this video, seeing as he's stated before that the video was deliberately bad and a parody of YouTubers such as The Annoying Orange.
  • Vindicated by History: On release, the video was immediately lambasted for being painfully unfunny and nonsensical, with many memes and jokes made at its expense, leading to Mike and Co. attempting to sweep it under the rug. Fast forward to the present, where people now enjoy it for the same qualities, citing that it's an avant-garde masterpiece that was ahead of its time, and works as a parody of The Annoying Orange.
