Brain Scratch Commentaries/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: The fans went next to nuts when both Lewis and Johnny's friend Matt joined in the Zelda commentary.
  • Non Sequitur Scene: The two times Worker and Parasite are used.
  • Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch: Most of the time, if Solaris has not played the game being commentated on, he does this.
    • Subverted when Solaris says that while his PC is getting repaired the other 2 can commentate on games he has no interest in. (Mega Man 5 etc.)
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Most recently, in Part 2 of the Sonic 4: Episode 1 commentary, when Johnny goes into Special Stage 4, the very first instant he hits a bumper...
    • In their Portal playthrough, the crew constantly says "Wheeeee!" when flying through the portals. GLaDOS joins in on their fun, trying to be one of the guys.
      • Too many things from the F-Zero GX playthrough to list.
    • Through the magic of clipping, Solaris gets murdered by a ring box in Sonic 3.
    • In Sonic 06, Silver ends up hurling Sonic into outer space during Sonic's playthrough. This is arguably topped when the battle is revisited while Solaris is playing as Silver... "Super Machine Gun Table Attack!"
  • Freud Was Right: The entirety of the discussion during Tunnel Rhino's mid-boss battle.
  • Hell Is That Noise: The random Mario sound effect in Part 10 of the Super Metroid playthough.

Solaris and Johnny: "What the fuck was that?"

  • He Panned It, Now He Sucks: Ted got a lot of this (especially from Matt) with his favorable opinions of the first Legend of Zelda.
    • To a lesser extant Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
    • To an even lesser extant Johnny toward Mega Man X3 (doesn't help he admits likes X6 better).
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: During Part 8 of The Legend of Zelda, Lewis says he does not care about Pokemon anymore. He just so happens to have posted a Pokemon LeafGreen playthrough not 1 week prior to that.
  • Memetic Mutation: Johnny's infamous Evil Laugh has spawned many laughs, having it being played over clips of Sonic, Mephiles, and even Clement laughing.
  • Most Annoying Sound: "I WAS FROZEN TODAY!!!" was a particular catchphrase used during the Turtles in Time playthrough, notably by that playthrough's guest-commentator, Spax3. On its own, the line is a perfectly good laugh from a 90s film. Repeated constantly at high decibels... not so much.
