  • Broken Base:
    • His "WHITE GUY VINE DANCES" video, which even starts with him explicitly stating that he had no better video to make and was making that video just for the hell of it. The video's comment section was extremely polarized, and the video racked up 8000 dislikes in a few hours after upload.
    • His Top 10 Packs series: a new and unique idea, or just a lazy gimmick?
    • Here's the ultimate question: Does Harry even really deserve to be a Sideman?
  • Crosses the Line Twice: To cringe-worthy extents.
    • He was asked what team he was supporting in the 2014 World Cup. His response? "Pakistan."
    • In JJ's crossbar challenge, Harry dedicates his shot to his "boys back in Cameroon".
  • Funny Moments: Now has its own page.
  • Heartwarming Moments: A series of tweets Harry made concerning his position against underage smoking.
  • Memetic Mutation: These two pictures of Harry, which he has used in his tweets as reaction images.
  • Moment of Awesome: Now has its own page.
  • Never Live It Down:
    • The SquidgetHarry days. That is all.
    • Subverted; starting out, his status as a Sixth Ranger doomed him to never being AS MUCH of a true Sideman as the others, but as the Sidemen's content evolved over time, his reputation has substantially increased.
    • Around the end of the 2010s, a recurring allegation cropped up claiming that Harry uses drugs, specifically cocaine (alluded to by JJ in "Little Boy", his diss track towards him). Harry even stated in the first Sidemen Tinder video that he "may have a minor drug problem". This led to fans creating an exaggerated joke of him being the group's resident drug addict that's one of the most undying Running Gags surrounding him to this day, with too many jokes about suspicious lines, bags, and powders to count being cracked at his expense. He doesn't seem particularly thrilled to hear them, but often plays into them anyway as there's little he can do to stop the memes.
  • No True Scotsman: There were lots of people that thought that since Harry isn't an original member of the Sidemen, he doesn't really qualify to be a Sideman. This has led to some jokes, including Harry being called "the invisible Sideman".
  • Squick:
    • While doing the "death run challenge" (run blindfolded while other people try to hit you with a ball), one of the people doing the challenge (Lewis) runs completely off course and slams his face into a fence, giving him a nasty, bloody cut just above his left eye that Harry gives us the distinct pleasure of viewing up close.
    • Some moments in Harry's "FUNNIEST CHALLENGE EVER" video:
      • Harry being "fed" a mix of mayonnaise and water, which he then spits up onto his crotch region...
      • JJ making Harry literally kiss his ass.
      • Harry being fed a tampon, complete with "blood".
  • Tear Jerker:
    • "WORST WAGER EVER!", which really does live up to its name. Harry gets absolutely crushed by his opponent (the final score is 5-0), and he gets disheartened and demotivated to the point where he tries to force his chair out of the window, only to try to pull it back in when he realizes that it won't fit. This is completely unedited, mind you.
    • "BIGGEST WAGER EVER!!" Harry is wagering someone for a full legend team, considering he had previously gotten his FUT account hacked, and there was a full legend team on said FUT account. He loses 3-2, and he's on the verge of tears by the time he realizes that all hope is lost.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Some of Harry's old videos have genuinely impressive graphics and effects, and other videos have instances that are either this trope or Special Effect Failure, depending on the person. One example of good VFX is his remake of Freddie Wong's "Rocking Out on a Moving Car" video.
