Botchamania/YMMV
- Acceptable Targets: CZW just can't get a break in Botchamania.
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: Happens when Maffew uploads newer videos during breaks especially when episodes 45-49 were uploaded after a long hiatus..
- Big Name Fan: Jim Cornette.
- As well as several active wrestlers, some of whom have actually been featured in Botchamania.
- When CM Punk was asked on Twitter how many times he thinks he's been featured on Botchamania, he responded, "Hopefully tons! What fun!"
- As well as several active wrestlers, some of whom have actually been featured in Botchamania.
- Colbert Bump: Played straight with CHIKARA, who now help sponsor Maffew's site.
- Shortly after it was uploaded, Botchamania 173 was removed for copyright violation against CZW LLC. It would be resubmitted a day later with a Take That in place of the questionable footage, but two days after that, DJ Hyde himself apologized and clarified that he appreciates the exposure. It turns out that it was the result of a misunderstanding: CZW's legal arm wrongly called for its removal and wasn't aware that the owner of the company actually approved its use in Botchamania.?Maffew is now allowed to use CZW material pending approval from DJ Hyde on a case-by-case basis.
- Crosses the Line Twice: The ending to Botchamania 157 / 158. Protester attempting suicide via stagedive? Not very funny. Protester attempting suicide via stagedive while overdubbed with New Jack's entrance? Utterly hilarious.

- Crowning Music of Awesome: Virtually every Botchamania thanks to a soundtrack heavy on tunes from 80s and 90s video games and remixes thereof.

- Follow the Leader: Videos created in the style of Botchamania include Pricemania, a one-off The Price Is Right video, Soccermania, an ongoing Soccer-themed series, and Pokémania, a dissection of the Pokémon anime.

- The Woobie: Maffew apparently feels some guilt including Sonjay Dutt in Botchamania, saying that he "deserves better" each time he's featured.
