** Tyler Perry also counts, as does [[Sam Raimi]]'s departure from the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' films and the series' upcoming reboot.
** He also '''
* [[Bias Steamroller]]:
** He has become notorious for the fact that his intense opposition to politically-incorrect, unfriendly, and "macho" members of the "hardcore" gaming and nerd community, noble in and of itself, bleeds into hating anything he thinks they like, hence the list under AcceptableTargets.
** Bob once infamously stated that he preferred ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', one of the most controversial games in the venerable ''[[Metroid]]'' series and often considered a [[Franchise Killer]], to the beloved and universally-acclaimed ''[[Metroid Prime]] Trilogy'' '''entirely''' on the basis that the ''Prime'' games were [[First Person Shooter]]s, and thus automatically, and this is a direct quote, "creatively bankrupt".
** Furthermore, his intense antipathy towards the "Retake ''[[Mass Effect]]''" movement, which went on for more than a month of him being unable to make any videos about ''anything'' without spending a bit of time ranting about it, was heavily rooted in his low opinion of the morals and intellectual capacity of the gaming community, and his horror at the idea of what in his mind were a bunch of [[Acceptable Targets]] degrading the Auteur theory as applied to video games. Notably, he maintained throughout the controversy that he didn't see why his complete ignorance of the source material should prevent him from having an opinion about it and regularly dismissed the idea that a "player-driven narrative" could have any artistic value. Another direct quote: "No one ever won a Pulitzer for a f@#$ing 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novel!"
** He's become more and more notable for having a very, very strong leaning towards the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]], while having an even stronger leaning ''against'' any comic book films not made within that franchise post ''[[Iron Man]]''.
* [[Brick Joke]]: His Do The Mario videos on the Escapist, the first one having a [[The Stinger|stinger]] showing SMB: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen and saying it's a story for another time (as in, not the week after the first). Two weeks later, Do the Mario PT. 2 was featured (showcasing said aforementioned Mario anime).
* [[Breather Episode]]: If you follow all of his shows, the Game Overthinker episode ''Bat-Slap'' comes out with Bob stating he doesn't believe gaming culture as a whole is ready/deserves to be taken as seriously as it so-often claims to want to. Come the following Tuesday, the Big Picture episode ''Science'' has Bob making mostly non-serious statements like "Space guys, if you don't want to pretend you've discovered oil on Mars to trick some funding out of the Government, how about telling Glenn Beck there's gold on the moon and not letting him come back?"
