* [[Critical Research Failure]]: Example provided by the moderators of YouTube: so apparently [[Toei Animation]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2MlMyrcUjY now owns] ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' and is in a position to request clips of it be taken down. Yeah, YouTube [[Nickelodeon|missed by a distance of pretty much the other side of the planet]]...
** The whole account was taken down, not just that video, so if there was also ''[[Super Sentai]]'', ''[[Power Rangers]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider]]'', or ''[[Digimon]]'' on that channel, that would explain it, and thus not be CRF. However, there are probably other examples of this trope.
** Additionally, this can also occur with certain songs, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ab8YpVuMTc this video of the song "Madonna"], which has its artist inaccurately labeled as "[[Madonna (Music)|Madonna]]". That is ''not'' correct, as the song's actual artist is the [[K Pop]] [[Girl Group]] known as '''[[wikipedia:Secret (South Korean band)|Secret]]'''. Coincidentally, [[Madonna (Music)|Madonna]] herself has ''also'' recorded a song called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPHUZenprKc "Secret"], although the video's label manages to give correct attribution to the song's original artist.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Among the seemingly unending pile of comments, ''many'' witty remarks can cause this to occur, nowadays usually located in the "Top Comments" section.
* [[Discredited Meme]]: Comment memes tend to stick around past their expiration dates.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: Most of the community, which is made up of incredibly rude young people, fails to be funny in the first place.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: The comments are filled with this. Best examples are probably in comedic videos, where fans of the parodied artist will [[Misaimed Fandom|miss the point]] and insult the author (just look for any [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] video).
** Then there are the people who talk about wanting to kill or beat up people for disliking a video they like. It's a joke, but [[Disproportionate Retribution|not a real funny one after a while]].
* [[Fan Hater]]: Some people will not only troll videos of bands/works they don't like, while harassing their fans -- but some will even go as far as to upload videos that insult said fans of the band/work.
* [[GIFT]]: The [[YouTube]] comments section can be filled with this. Quite a few Youtube videos often lampshade and parody this.
* [[Glurge]]: Many animal videos.
* [[Hate Dumb]]: The comments are filled with this. This goes double for [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|popular works]], triple if it involves ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' and [[Justin Bieber (Music)|Justin Bieber]], quadruple if it [[Misplaced Nationalism|involves the]] [[Cultural Cringe|United States]].
* [[Internet Backdraft]]
* [[Misplaced Nationalism]]
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]:
** The forcing of the Google Accounts. Hope you got a [[Yahoo|Yahoo!]] account instead. Otherwise, you'd better have a mobile phone. Don't have one? You're screwed.
** They also completely screwed up the main page, making it fairly unorganized.
** "[[YouTube]] Channels 2.0", introduced in 2009, got a ''lot'' of flak.
*** And then history repeats itself with 3.0.
** Also when they removed the 1-5 star rating system, changing it simply to "[[Face BookFacebook|Like]]" or "Dislike".
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: Any video that gets a dislike. If you dislike a video, you're a piece of trash who hates everything remotely pleasant in the world and needs to be murdered, according to some of the comments.
