- Aluminum Christmas Trees:
- A skit on Super Mario Odyssey has him looking up one obscure moon with the only clue is "look up at the sky for 5 seconds and then 50,000 miles away, you will see a taxi. That's where the moon is." It's an actual moon.
- SungWon chooses drinking water as an absurd hobby to discuss on Reddit. A sub dedicated to drinking water actually did exist, though it was banned for using the N-word in the name and remade in 2019 (about a year after the video came out) as "Hydro Homies."
- Ensemble Dark Horse:
- Of Vine: he's one of the few Viners to essentially keep doing Vine after the demise of the platform. Lampshaded in "Reading Dialogue Tweets with Random Background Music:"ProZD (reading): "Vine was not killed, I absorbed its power to rise to the top."
ProZD (commenting): This is true. - Archibald and his iconic line "I think that enemy got the point" became so popular that he received an action figure.
- Among his own characters, Lysanderoth was the most well-received for his Cold Ham tendencies after only appearing in a couple of videos.
- Refrigerator-senpai is getting recognition for his Jerkass Woobie characterization; he's also the only Chairem character to have a body pillow. Ironically, this was revealed in a skit about another character (TV-Senpai) being an Ensemble Dark Horse In-Universe.
- Of Vine: he's one of the few Viners to essentially keep doing Vine after the demise of the platform. Lampshaded in "Reading Dialogue Tweets with Random Background Music:"
- Fanon: Prince Horace of The King Dragon Canon gets brought up repeatedly, but remains The Ghost, thus some people believe he's the same prince as the one from "Disney prince who can't sing for shit."
- Fridge Brilliance: Many skits on video game tropes use the same cast of characters from The King Dragon Canon, even if the tropes in question are from widely different genres. This begins to make a lot more sense if one thinks of King Dragon as a Cash-Cow Franchise, where the same characters and narrative are recycled for different games.
- Genius Bonus:
- His "priorities in Yu-Gi-Oh!" video has one for fans of the series. That supposedly common card that Grandpa can buy on Amazon for 50 cents? It's actually "Jinzo", a very powerful and iconic card in the time period when the Animated Adaptation was airing.
- While the King Dragon stories appear to just be a series of sketches parodying franchises like Final Fantasy and other JRPGs. When connected together though, it forms a complete storyline.
- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- In "A guy who really doesn't want to be the main character in an anime", the eponymous man is "the son of the Dragon King", as evidenced by his left eye. While this was probably supposed to be a mashup of The Chosen One tropes, this exact combination matches a Plot Twist in the New Super-Man two years later.
- There's also "A man caught in a time loop on his birthday", which plays out like a parody of Happy Death Day, despite predating it by a year and seven months.
- Alois, from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, is a jolly, mustache-bearing, Pun-spewing knight whose dub voice sounds very close to the voice SungWon uses for Archibald. Sadly, he favors axes, so his enemies can't quite get the point, but a lot of people have noticed the similarities, nonetheless. It became even funnier when SungWon actually became a cast member of the series via Fire Emblem Heroes, voicing Darros, who also wields axes by default, he would later go on to voice Holst in the Three Houses spin off Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, a swordmaster.
- Tangled: The Series revealing that Flynn/Eugene's birth name and title was Prince Horace.
- "games that think more gameplay mechanics equals more fun" accurately predates the frustrations of players finding countless eggs instead of resources and fish during the Bunny Day event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. SungWon even Lampshaded it.
- "harem anime where everyone but the protagonist is sentient furniture" became a lot funnier thanks to Suzume, in which the love interest turns into a living chair.
- He did a parody of the Forspoken trailer with a Super Mario Odyssey trailer, where Mario confusingly snarks about his role in the game. The humor isn't dissimilar to The Super Mario Bros. Movie released several months later, where Mario does get transported from Brooklyn into the Mushroom Kingdom and react incredulously to his situation.
- The premise of the "Pizza Brothers" Slice of Life anime parody skits is a show about a chef taking over his deceased brother's restaurant and working to overcome his grief in order to improve the restaurant, which would become the exact same premise of The Bear.
- It Was His Sled: The original "Harem anime in which everyone but the protagonist is sentient furniture" was a Feghoot ending with him repeatedly saying "more like Chairem Anime". He has since done multiple videos using the characters and premise, referring to the series as Chairem Anime whenever the need arises.
- Memetic Mutation:
- The "shipping characters" video ("Oh, they fucking!") is often quoted to poke fun at Shipping Goggles, as well as genuine Ship Tease.
- "Is ProZD in this?" "No, I am not in this."Explanation
- Becomes correct or Hilarious in Hindsight occasionally, like when people asked if he was in Genshin Impact at the time of the game's release, only for him to be added as a new character a few months later.
- "I think that enemy got the point!"Explanation
- "King Dragon sends his regards."Explanation
- Misaimed Fandom: People jokingly refer to SungWon by the butchered names he gets called in the "having a non-white name" video, despite the point of that being how annoying it is when people mispronounce his Korean name. SungWon points out in "My Viewers' Top 10 Favorite Skits" that these fans don't seem to get the point of the video: having his name mangled isn't just annoying, but it actually offends him as an Asian American person.
- Moment of Awesome: He has fully completed EVERYTHING in Dragon Quest XI as shown in this tweet."hey guess what, i 100%'d Dragon Quest XI, cause i don't FUCK AROUND"
- Nightmare Fuel: In "His Face All Red", SungWon proves with this one that he isn't just funny, but can also give a bone-chilling performance.
