YMMV / VanossGaming & Company

• Accidental Innuendo: They have a lot that happen.
  • One particular example happens when the crew is playing Windmill Deathrun in GTA V. Moo attempts to encourage himself (or rather his avatar) to make it through the obstacle course, however the way he does it sounds more than a little…"suggestive". From Vanoss' POV it sounds even weirder.
  Moo: Please, please, please. Yes, keep going. Keep going. [Starts breathing heavily.]
  Ohm: What are you doing?
  Vanoss: Are you getting a blowjob?
  Nogla: I think he's jacking off. Something is happening with his penis.
  • Another example happens when they're playing Dead Realm and Vanoss is the last person alive against Nogla, who's the ghost in the round. Nogla tries to tell Vanoss to come out of hiding…with a rather odd choice of words.
  Nogla: Trust me. You want this to go smooth and easy. Not hard and deep.
  (Record Needle Scratch)
  Moo: What?
  Vanoss: What are you gonna do to me?
  (The crew laughs.)
  Moo: He's gonna reap you.
• Adaptation Displacement: Terroriser's well known skit of playing The Ahnold, speaking in an exaggerated voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's actually less based on the original Arnold and more Frank Caliendo's impression of him.
• Adorkable: Moo can definitely come across as this due to his tendency to make puns, bubbly personality, and reluctance to go along with the crew's "edgier" moments.
• Archive Panic: As of this writing, Vanoss has uploaded over 1,400+ videos, with his friends each having nearly as many, if not more. Not to mention that many of Vanoss' videos have versions uploaded by his friends showing their perspectives and jokes that might not be in Vanoss' vid. Good luck trying to catch up with all that.
• Awesome Ego:
  • Nogla, during Mario Kart 8 sessions, becomes rather smug much to the annoyance of everyone else he's playing with. However, he is more than able to back it up by being one of the best of the entire group at the game.
  • Terroriser is the same case and many members of the group acknowledge this, even himself.
• Awesome Music: Although it may not be the case In-Universe, the Team 6 rap song made by the actual crew in the Team 6 animated series is either hilariously awesome or awesomely hilarious, as well as oddly catchy.
• Broken Base:
  • Their collaborations with the Sidemen. Half the fanbase thinks they're funny in their own right and wants to see more, the other half thinks they're not as good as the usual content and wants them to never collaborate again, and the middle ground is virtually nonexistent. This probably has to be because of the two groups' contrasting styles. Both sides act very inappropriately, but the Sidemen are a highly-organized collective who have become mainstream celebrities in their homeland of the British Isles,^note which would lead to them cleaning up their act a bit over time, especially after a since-removed Sidemen Sunday video in April 2023 that garnered controversy over KSI saying a (censored) slur do much more than just gaming (in fact, gaming videos have not been their main content since 2018), and are mainly focused on any number of the seven official members plus a handful of regular affiliates who are either fellow Brits or Commonwealthers. In contrast, the Vanoss side is an unorganized multinational group of independent YouTubers who just happen to play with one another very often and have no interest in going mainstream, caters exclusively to audiences who prefer watching gameplay videos, and their group's members are much more flexible in terms of collaborations. Tellingly, they have not played with one another since the 2020s began.
  • Wildcat and his uploading of Fortnite: Battle Royale. One camp loves that Wildcat clearly enjoys playing the game and that he’s The Ace. The other camp is sick of it due to Fortnite now being pretty much the only game on his channel currently (in fact, as of this writing, the last 18 videos Wildcat uploaded were Fortnite videos). Doesn’t help that Wildcat’s response basically boiled down to "I’m going to do what I want to do, and if you don’t like it, leave." By the end of 2019, however, Wildcat grew tired of Fortnite, following the release of Chapter 2, to the point where he only does an occasional live-stream or upload of the game.
  • The crew's use of certain derogatory and disrespectful words (like the c-word and the r-word), their disrespectful attitude to each other and their disrespectful and hypocritical attitude to other players (like complaining other players of camping, spawn shooting, crouch shooting, etc. despite the fact that they do it too from time to time) is a case of Values Dissonance between viewers, some people are fine with it, others not so much.
  • Is Panda's laugh funny or irritating? There are quite a few viewers who think that he is actually very annoying, but it's arguably a case of Vocal Minority.
  • Vanoss' increasing levels of offensive humor in his videos 2021 onward. While many people are indeed in love with the edgy humor he's been bringing out, others find that the jokes are either not offensive enough to be considered hilarious or crossing the line to the point of being merely offensive in a not funny way.
  • The increasing amounts of jabs and mockery aimed at former member Mini Ladd starting around the middle of 2022, particularly from Nogla and Terroriser. Are they funny and well-deserved, or is it better that the Vanoss Crew just let the subject be forgotten and stop bringing it up?
  • Lui's return after supposedly beating the allegations levied against him was met with some minor controversy. While plenty are overjoyed that he's back, a few think that it's still too soon for him to return since the controversy surrounding him was seemingly never fully solved (or at least what happened to resolve it was not revealed), while others have pointed out that it's nearly been two years since Lui has played with the crew and believe that he should be allowed to play with his friends again since he appears to have ridden himself of the allegations. Not helping matters is that the crew proceed to make fun of the controversy whenever they can, which, like the Mini Ladd scandal, can be more uncomfortable than funny for some.
• Can't Un-Hear It: Hilariously enough, since he frequently uses him as a player model in Garry's Mod, there's some fans who have stated that they just can't separate Nogla's voice from Dr. Zoidberg.
• Discredited Meme: Pablo. Mini Ladd regretted ever creating the character of a creepy-voiced Mexican child molester and has on multiple occasions referred to Pablo as "dead." However, the meme resurfaced fast when Mini was accused of, and later admitted to, some rather serious allegations.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • "Did someone say Cockatoos?" The moment SilentDroid said that was when his popularity skyrocketed. His appearance in recent videos has also been very well received.
  • As you can see in the comments for recent videos, Sark's return was met with open arms by the fandom.
  • While she's not a core member of either Vanoss's or Delirious's friend circles, Cartoonz's thumbnail artist Jihi has recently been getting a lot of attention as a result of appearing in several videos with Delirious's friend circle. Fans love her for her Adorkable nature and her sporadic but memorable moments of Beware the Silly Ones (such as her Roaring Rampage of Revenge when the Impostors kill Cartoonz). Whenever she's absent from a series session she usually stars in, there will often be comments asking about her.
  • Fans also love Delirious's daughter, nicknamed Babylirious. Any video with her in it will have the fans gushing over how cute she is and how they adore the interactions between father and daughter. One moment being when Delirious stopped playing Phasmophobia briefly to comfort her after the Ghost made her cry, prompting a moment of Papa Wolf that warmed the fans hearts.
  • From the Team 6 animated series, the TSA officer voiced by Legiqn became quite popular due to his hilarious rage against the passengers.
• Estrogen Brigade: While the main members of the crew are all men, this hasn't stopped them from getting more than a few fangirls thanks to their close relationships with each other, wacky senses of humor, and natural good looks. Fangirls also greatly enjoy shipping Vanoss and Delirious together due to their excellent chemistry. Notable in that, despite possibly having the largest number of fangirls in the crew, Delirious hasn't even shown his face.
• Fanon Discontinuity:
  • Some have had a hard time watching any past videos with Mini Ladd or Ohmwrecker in them due to how bad their fallout was with the Vanoss crew.
  • Many prefer that Mini Ladd never uploaded anything after admitting to serious allegations that permanently tainted his career besides "clearing the air" and his apology.
• Fountain of Memes:
  • Most of what comes from Nogla's, Delirious' or Wildcat's mouth.
  • Go to any GIF generator, search for "Mini Ladd" and you'll have GIFs for days.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The infamous Pablo skit where Mini Ladd plays Pablo, a sexual predator, is one of the most well-known skits of the crew's many sessions for being a joke that straight-up obliterates the line. However, Mini was later involved in sexual harassment allegations, later confirmed them, and had effectively tainted his career. This joke, among other things involving him, are consequently much harder to stomach.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In Vanoss's "Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Garry's Mod Sandbox" video, Vanoss and Co. jokingly suggest that Five Nights at Freddy's 4 would be the game where the nightshift security guards at the pizzeria would fight back against the animatronics in a Call of Duty-esque all-out war. Five months later, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 became the first game in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise to not primarily take place in a pizzeria.
  • At the end of one of the group's older MK8 sessions, SMii7Y joked with Wildcat about "putting 'Yeet!' back on the map". Sure enough, come 2018, "Yeet!" started becoming a memetic exclamation again.
  • The group often jokes about about Jacksepticeye and Terroriser. The two eventually play together, along with several Irish youtubers.
  • Delirious' "GIVE BIRTH" meme, after Delirious himself announced on Twitter that he is now a father of a child. Not long afterward, he announced that he is now the father of two children.
    • Similarly, the Prop Hunt video that takes place in a gym.
  Delirious: I want to keep up with my children...Wait, I don't have any children.
  • Nogla's girlfriends. Fast foward later, he got a real girlfriend himself.
    • In a Call of Duty 4 Prop Hunt, he struggles to find a satellite the crew jokes is his girlfriend. The crew also jokes that the satellite rejected him due to him looking at the wrong direction... until he gets shot and killed by Wildcat.
    • In Gmod Scary Map "Nogla's girlfriend", he jokingly declares and takes Lucy as his girlfriend.
  • In 2017 and 2018, the Vanoss Crew took part in an animated series about them, Team 6. 3 years later, they (Minus Nogla and H20 Delirious as main cast members, though they would be featured as cameos) would star in another animated series, Alpha Betas.
• Memetic Badass: The Uno bot the crew usually plays against, AI "Al" Dusty is given this treatment, with fans jokingly portraying him as an unstoppable force that can defeat any opponent in the game. The crew actually seem to view him as this as well.
• Memetic Loser:
  • Terroriser frequently gets this from fans and the rest of the Vanoss Crew. His channel has been mentioned to be less successful than his friends and he's frequently the butt of a lot of jokes.
  • For similar reasons, Nogla also gets this due to being a Butt-Monkey and some of his recklessness while gaming.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Given that he's the face of the crew, a lot of them are created by Vanoss.
    • Keep Er Goin'.
    • Hoo-dini!
    • Streme Spoats! ^ExplanationVanoss and/or his friends, most notably Wildcat, attempt stunts while in a car/motorcycle, shouting this phrase.
    • Knawledge. ^ExplanationReferring to books, as originating in this riff.
    • ALRIGHT!!
    • #OffSeason
    • Edgy Vanoss. ^ExplanationThanks to his increasing amount of Crosses the Line Twice-type humor, Vanoss has been nicknamed "Edgy Vanoss" by fans whenever he says something… well… edgy.
  • Several of Delirious' Malapropers and utterly bizarre sentences are very memorable and have been quoted by fans and even the crew themselves regularly.
    • CHIPOTLE!!! ^Translation"SHIT, PULL UP!"
    • GIVE BIRTH! ^ExplanationDelirious' attempt at a labor-related joke due to everyone yelling "push".
    • Shuch Up!
    • The moon tide is tugging on our hearts right now!
    • I will climb greatness mountain and grab greatness' tits at the top of the peak!
  • It's GOROD time! ^ExplanationComes from their playthrough of the Black Ops III Zombies map 'Gorod Krovi'.
  • The Results Are In! ^ExplanationFirst started by JD, then used by almost everyone else who plays Mario Kart 8 and comes in last.
  • WAPOW! ^ExplanationWhen Vanoss was having fun with the Cargobob glitch in a random lobby, Delirious and a random converse about blowing people up; the random claimed he blew up 15 people that day, to which Delirious replied, in a mildly shocked tone: "You blew 15 people today?". The first one responded "Nah, they pull up right next to me like "ha ha, you ain't gonna blow me up, you're scared- WAPOW!". The random, known nowadays amongst Vanoss fans as "WAPOW Guy", became memetic along with the phrase, and Vanoss occasionally uses this sound effect to replace the Stock Sound Effect for explosions.
  • Silent Brian. ^ExplanationWhenever he's in first place during Mario Kart 8, Terroriser tends to not say anything, due to concentrating and letting everyone else talk. Everyone and Terroriser himself lampshade this a lot. It has been used for other players as well, when they are in the same state e.g. "Silent Anthony" or "Silent Brock".
  • Ever since they started skribbl.io videos, there's a guarantee somebody's going to draw a Homer Simpson.
  • The Swinger for the LA Lakers. ^ExplanationDuring a GTA mission, Nogla mentions that the reason his character is holding a baseball bat is that he just came back from playing a baseball game, resulting in the above line, which became a pretty memorable example of Gretzky Has the Ball. It's even been referenced in a few other videos.
  • Future Googling Man. ^ExplanationIn a Black Ops 3 video, Wildcat guides Vanoss surprisingly well through the map, so much so that Vanoss asks him if he's from the future. Wildcat responds that he is... and that he's also using Google, causing Vanoss to label him as the "Future Googling Man". Its animation can be seen here.
  • BOOGADABA! ^ExplanationWildcat shouts this odd word extremely fast while playing with the group in a Gmod Crash Bandicoot Prop Hunt map. It's then promptly soundboard'd by Terroriser, who proceeds to play it several times throughout the video.
  • They have done absolutely nothing wrong, but they're blue. ^ExplanationWhen the crew does a GMOD Sandbox session on a moon-related map, they briefly do a 3v3 as bags of Doritos. The Nacho Cheese team apparently wages war on the Cool Ranch team because they are blue, which has been memed as either a pretty accurate summary of Team Fortress 2 or the source of many a racism joke.
  • Monocle Gentlesir. ^ExplanationA mistaken Nogla guess during a skribbl.io round, which immediately became the name of any character with High-Class Glass who might happen to appear in a drawing game.
• Most Wonderful Sound:
  • Vanoss and many of his friends have great laughter, so much so that it's hard not to laugh with them.
  • Delirious, thanks to his utterly bizarre statements, contagious laughter, and odd voice (implied to be because of his microphone).
  • Nogla, due to his constant mis-speaking, making random noises, screaming in random ways, heavy accent, and having a wonky microphone that likes to shut down and cut him off mid-sentence.
  • Many would say Jiggly's laugh is what makes many of the Cards Against Humanity videos so funny.
• Never Live It Down:
  • Basically's increasing amount of extreme rage moments, which for some, come across as annoying and petty rather than funny, especially because he never admits when he's wrong. Panda has also been saddled with this, especially when he broke his TV in a fit of rage, and Wildcat gets this in general for being quite loud, even when he's not raging. But when he is? Cover your ears.
  • Not many, but a few fans aren't completely willing to forgive Terroriser for trolling Moo so hard in a game of Golf It that he ended up rage quitting, even though Moo stated later on that he didn't take it too seriously. The fact that he has several videos devoted to annoying Brock as much as possible doesn't help.
  • On a more comical note, any time Delirious or Nogla misspeaks or says something bizarre it is guaranteed to be made fun of by both the crew and fans for a long time.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Ohmwrecker's Gmod character model. Especially during games where everyone has shrunken bodies and larger heads.
    • The Gmod Hide and Seek episode where the hiders were made to look like Goombas. Fourzeroseven had a Woody player model, and....well, see for yourself. The earlier part where Terroriser ambushes Vanoss and Delirious, who run into Fourzeroseven, is frightening.
  • Nogla's icon-based Gmod model.
  • In a GTA V video, where they check out the new DLC, WILDCAT was already pissed at Vanoss following an incident where he was AFK. Later, he said if anyone, probably Nogla, killed him, he would leave the game. Then Nogla kills him and.....WILDCAT just loses it. You literally hear him throwing things all over his house. Subverted though, as WILDCAT said he only hit his desk and slammed his door.
    Wildcat: (A few seconds after Nogla killed him) YOU FUCKING FAGGOT!!
    Wildcat: (After finally getting uphill and killing Nogla) Now we're even.
  • Mini Ladd's mii is unsettling to look at. Brian even describes it as a "Giraffe that needs to be put down."
  • Any time Anthony/Panda (or Wildcat, as mentioned above) rages particularly hard, it often comes off as extremely unsettling, rather than amusing. Marcel's rage can also come off as this, because he has No Indoor Voice and seems to get angrier and more short-tempered every year.
• One-Scene Wonder: Racingcatz (Cody) made only one appearance in Mario Kart 8, but he immediately solidified himself as the absolute best of the group during that one appearance and triggered one of Wildcat's biggest rages in his channel's history. One has to wonder how he would fare against Brian and Nogla if he ever played again.
• Overshadowed by Controversy:
  • Mini Ladd is less known for his content and being a former and frequent member of the group, and better known for the serious allegations against him that, long story short, he later admitted to. It gets even more egregious by the fact that it was later revealed he attempted to stop these issues from coming out and when that didn't work, he would just ignore them. To make matters worse, in his "apology" video, he kept mentioning his troubled past and his deteriorating mental health in an attempt to defend his actions. However, by doing so, he destroyed his reputation and career.
  • Ohmwrecker's obsession to be involved in the group's sessions and using manipulation to get what he wants ended up making him a pariah of the group, causing him to be outcast. This would later cultivate in his public attempts at a hate campaign against specific members of the group and "exposing" them for allegations that he refuses to elaborate on, all to get back at them for kicking him out.
• Seasonal Rot: Some fans think that some of the crew's newer videos aren't as creative or funny as the older ones. A few have even accused the crew of going along with current trends of what's popular nowadays rather than seeking out inventive content.
  • For WILDCAT's channel, a rather vocal portion of the fanbase think that his many Fortnite streams in 2019 fall under this since he refused to play any other game during the year.
• Signature Scene: One of the most memorable clips among fans and even the Vanoss crew is WILDCAT, after having a particularly bad streak of luck in a GTA session, absolutely losing it once Nogla kills him, complete with audio of him going on a rampage in his room. See it in all its glory here.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Pretty much everything about the crew cutting ties with Mini Ladd and Ohmwrecker after the two got involved in some serious controversies. They used to be such good friends with each other, constantly laughing and having fun together, which makes going back and watching earlier videos with them rather hard to watch, knowing that their friendships with the crew will come to a bitter end. And while some of the crew's Take Thats toward their former crewmates' actions can be funny, it can still be rather sad nonetheless.
  • There are certain times in a session (particularly Golf It and Mario Kart) where Panda rages to the point where he doesn't even bother anymore and just sulks. While his creative cursing makes it somewhat funny to watch, it's sad to watch a man who's lost so many times just degrade himself in such a depressing manner.
  • Moo's departure from Youtube full-time. Brock explains that doing Youtube as a full-time job, while an amazing opportunity, has caused him to think about work nonstop since. Briefly going over how he feels he neglected his family and is not doing well physically and mentally, he decides it best to work at a job with a set schedule to balance out his life. All of the crew is in complete support of his decision, and Terroriser himself says that Moo will always has a place with them there and will welcome him back with open arms if he decides to come back one day.
  • Delirious revealing that he and his long-time girlfriend, Liz Katz IG, broke things off. Throughout the video he sounds like he's trying his hardest not to break down as he explains the situation, which is especially disheartening given how silly and over the top he is. It also doubles as heartwarming as he claims that there are no hard feelings between them, that people shouldn't harass her or anyone associated with her over them splitting, and that they will still continue parenting their daughters to their fullest potentials.
