* When a school shooting rekindled discussions in Germany about [[Murder Simulators|video games being responsible for real life violence]], the news broadcast Focus TV showed the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SWMAQYQf0 infamous clip of the "Angry German Kid"], claiming that the footage was secretly recorded by Leopold's father while he got mad playing on his computer. (If you didn't know by now, the clip was staged and recorded by the kid himself for the lulz.)
* In [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyLUIXWnrC0 "The Truth About Popular Culture"], a scathing video essay on the state of modern pop culture in the [[United States]], Paul Joseph Watson, during [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyLUIXWnrC0&feature=youtu.be&t=12m11s a rant] on [[w:Modern Art|modern art]], showed a picture of a urinal displayed at the [[w:Tate Modern|Tate Modern]] art galley. Only, the art piece he dismissed is a 1964 replica of [[w:Fountain (Duchamp)|''Fountain'']] (1917), considered one of the most influential pieces of the 20th century and, in other words, the [[Ur Example]] of [[w:Conceptual art|conceptual art]]<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art-and-architecture/features/the-loo-that-shook-the-world-duchamp-man-ray-picabi-784384.html ''The Independent'' article]</ref>. In [[The Needle Drop]]'s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNmta1gFjxU "stinkpiece" rebuttal] to the video, this mistake [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNmta1gFjxU&feature=youtu.be&t=11m43s ''shocked''] the reviewer.
{{quote|'''Paul Joseph Watson''': Have you ever visited Tate Modern in London? It's a building full of [http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/lee-relatum-t14334 scrap metal], [http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/takamatsu-oneness-of-concrete-t13499 concrete blocks], [http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/duchamp-fountain-t07573 urinals] [...]
'''The Needle Drop''': Stop! Stop. Stop. Paul, stop. Do you even know the history behind this piece? Do you ''know'' the history behind this piece, Paul? If you ''knew the history behind this piece'', Paul, ''I don't think you'll be calling it'' [fake British accent] '''"just a urinal, just a ''fucking'' urinal!"'''}}
* When [[The Nostalgia Critic]] announced [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|his appearance in the]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Entrepreneur]]'' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|magazine]], we all went straight to or searched for [http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneur/2009/december/204086.html the article online!] But here's the thing: Mike Ellis and Mike Michaud have been mislabeled in the article.
** Plus, Doug and the Mikes are listed as co-founders and runners of Channel Awesome...but not even a mention of Bhargav?
** Moreover, the article actually goes into detail in another Channel Awesome website, the much less popular Chicago nightlife review site [http://thatguywiththeglasses.wikia.com/wiki/Barfiesta Barfiesta], instead of mentioning Bhargav, when that site is actually ''Bhargav's pet project''. Weird, huh?
* [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony's]] ''Deadliest Character: [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Megazord]] VS [[Godzilla|Mechagodzilla]]'' video was chock full of inaccurate descriptions and blatant [[Critical Research Failure]], including:
** Talking about the Showa (1974) Mechagodzilla while showing clips of ''Kiryu''. While Kiryu ''is'' an incarnation of Mechagodzilla, it is '''not''' the same monster (The original Mechagodzilla is a robot built by aliens to take over the world and Kiryu is a cyborg version of the original Godzilla).
