Slowbeef/YMMV

Arc Fatigue: The length of the Metroid Prime trilogy takes its toll on him. When he manages to get Proteus4994 to guest on a Corruption video, many of his comments are incredulous that slowbeef is still playing it.
Non Sequitur Scene: During the Nightmare fight in Diabetus's Metroid Fusion LP, the video cuts away to footage from Soul Calibur II.
Hilarious in Hindsight: In the Metroid Prime Let's Play, Diabetus jokingly says he'd like to see Samus in Dead or Alive. Then came the news of a Metroid themed stage in Dead or Alive: Dimensions.
- At one point Diabetus points out that they're getting the Grapple Beam awfully late, considering Samus started the game with it. "You've beaten Metroid Prime! Your prize: the Grapple Beam!" Compare this with the way Power Bombs are actually treated in Metroid: Other M.
- Also, Other M's reveal that hearing Ridley's voice is enough to turn Zebesians, among other creatures, violent. Yeah, we can see why.
- Another one is Slowbeef predicting that the phazon suit will do a Venom type thing and turn into an evil version of Samus that you have to fight. Guess what the Metroid Prime uses to turn itself into Dark Samus.
- Diabetus has a rather uncanny ability to make jokey predictions that turn out at least partially true.
- His comments on Other M become hilarious, since he did a Retsupurae of the Compilation Movie unlocked after beating the game.
Memetic Badass: His portrayal of Shadow in the Dead To Rights games due to his ability to tear mooks apart and ability to do just about anything Jack tells him to.
Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Arguably Toffile, who made his first Metroid Prime LP appearance as a straight man to Khad. His appearances in the Echoes LP were far better, as he served as a knowledgeable and effective guide while telling enough straight-faced lies to make "Toffile lied!" a Running Gag. However...
The Scrappy: Khad, according to slowbeef. He was unfortunate enough to make his debut in the Metroid Prime LP in a video that ran through a gamut of technical difficulties. In fact, around 80% of the video is composed of Khad complaining about his audio and slowbeef hurling insults at him.
Spoiled by the Format: The Omega Pirate battle in Metroid Prime begins with about eighteen minutes left into the video, and brings him and Samus close to death with a good eight minutes left. Omega Pirate dies two minutes later. The last six minutes are blank filler inserted just to subvert the trope.

Diabetus: You've created the most suspenseful Let's Play ever.

The Woobie: During Torvus Bog, slowbeef suffers more and more, until he finally ends up sounding totally broken-hearted.
