Screw Attack/YMMV

• Accidental Innuendo: Every other sentence that Maxifent Corey speaks.
• Archive Panic: While none of the "Video Game Vault"s are very long (2 minutes at most), there are hundreds of them, which have been running since 2006. And there are tons of Top Ten lists.
• Awesome Music: One clip of the week featured Stuttering Craig singing the Pokémon theme song. But with new lyrics related to Call of Duty.
  • One of ScrewAttack's partners is Brentalfloss, whose "WithLyrics" videos are definitely Awesome Music.
  • Who didn't think "Beat That Soulja Boy Rap" was amazing?
• Cross The Line Twice: EVERYTHING Evil Craig says, especially his comments on fans and game developers.
• Dude, Not Funny: Their "Top 10 Worst Blockbusters" had a few people pissed off at their choices, mostly the Sonic franchise (not a specific game, the entire franchise).
• Ear Worm: The ScrewAttack jingle. So much so, that even though it was originally commissioned to serve as the Hard News theme, it wound up opening all of the site's videos.
• 8.8: Their VG Vault of an Asterix game was criticized by non-Americans. The response video also states criticizing soccer has a bad response outside America too.
• Fetish Fuel: Maxifent Corey. Dressed as the Phoenix — Good and Dark versions.
• Friendly Fandoms: With RoosterTeeth, due to both being gaming related companies based out of Texas who produce original shows and hold their own conventions. It also helps that they're both owned by Fullscreen, and in November 2015 allowed ScrewAttack to become a division of Rooster Teeth. Although not all people like this change. See They Changed It Now It Suck below.
• Funny Moments: Go listen to the "Corey's Secret Boyfriend" podcast. Her reaction as the tale of how she unwittingly seduced some poor nerd & accidentally agreed to go on a date with him before realising this in the middle of the night and breaking up with him the next day is only made less funny by the fact that it was only an audio podcast.
  • The ending of the Asterix: The Reckoning VGV. The do-over in response to complaints about Craig not being aware of the characters.

Stuttering Craig: The last thing I wanna do is hurt anybody. I mean, what are you guys, retarded? Chad: [In the background] CRAIG! Stuttering Craig: ...Dammit

• Growing the Beard: The general consensus is that after the founders of The Game Heroes left the site caused this - The vacancies left by the more subdued Handsome Tom & Perfect Liz were eventually filled by Daily Destin & Maxifent Corey, whilst Jose El Mexicano, High School Ben & Nervous Nick took more prominent roles in the site. The biggest change was in the Clip Of The Week, as they went from small skits, to full-on productions at times.
• Heartwarming Moment: The terminally ill g1 whose Make a Wish wish was to spend one day at the HQ with the crew. They let him, and appeared on pretty much every feature on the site, he even hosted hard news saw under Craig's hat. If that's not the greatest [[Heartwarming Moment]] in the entirety of the internet, then I don't know what is.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: At the beginning of 2010 they released a video stating that Duke Nukem Forever would get a release date, Nintendo would try out 3D again, there would be a new Kid Icarus game anounced (Albeit, for the Wii, not the DS), and the 360 would be slimmed down. Scary isn't it?

• • Not to mention they also predicted Milo would become Skynet, and in a weird coincidence...
  • For 2011, they speculated on a new Nintendo console aiming on harcore games... which seems to be on its way.
  • In the Top 10 Best and Worst Gaming Peripherals, R.O.B. came in at number 10 (worst) with Handsome Tom mentioning that the next time he sees R.O.B., he wants to see him shooting lasers out of his eyes (pew pew). Then Brawl came and when R.O.B. became a smasher, he can shoot lasers out of his eyes not only as a regular smash move, but a final smash move as well. In the same Top 10 list, they argued that had the U-Verse never been made, we'd be playing games with our minds. Unfortunately, while there isn't a video game that does this just yet, there have been games launched into production not too long after which rely on thoughts to play (if only to move a ball through a series of obstacle courses).
  • In their top ten worst Mario games list, they claimed the US Super Mario Bros. 2 was put on the list simply because it was a dolled up installment based on Doki Doki Panic, and not a real Mario game. A 2011 interview with Nintendo revealed that Doki Doki Panic did in fact start as an early prototype for a Mario sequel, before becoming Doki Doki Panic, which in turn was turned into the Us Mario 2.
  • In the "Corey's Secret Boyfriend" podcast mentioned above, Corey offhandedly comments on her relief the Sidescrollers wasn't a video podcast. Fast forward a few years, and it's become just that.
  • In the "Top 10 Gaming Franchises That Should Die" video made in April 2012, it's mentioned that Angry Birds is so good, it would get a whole line of plush toys, a feature film, an animated series and even a theme park attraction. Skip forward to August 2012, an Angry Birds theme park opens in the UK. Then to April 2013, when the first episode of Angry Birds Toons airs. Finally skip to October 2014, when The Angry Birds Movie is announced for a 2016 release date.
    • The same video mentioned that Angry Birds shouldn’t become the next Mario Kart. Eventually, in late 2013, it DID become the next Mario Kart, with the release of Angry Birds Go.
• Hype Backlash: The initial anouncement of SGC was one, as the site hyped The Reveal to an insane amount. When it was revealed that it was effectively just a rebranding & upscaling of the site's "Iron Man of Gaming" tournament, people were pissed that after all the hype, it was for something that meant nothing to them as they wouldn't be able to get to SGC.
• Internet Backdraft: They put Mega Man Legends on their Top Ten Worst 2D to 3D games. Considering the recent cancellation Mega Man Legends 3, people... Weren't pleased.

• • They also put Ecco the Dolphin on the Top Ten Worst Water Levels, citing the entire game (Nervous Nick did lampshade the Cult Classic status, particularly for the sequels), and Hydro City.
• Just Here For Godzilla: Death Battle is the most popular features on the site, to the point where they people asking about it and giving suggestions for potential death battles in the comment section of other features. Nowadays, Death Battle is one of the very few shows that ScrewAttack has left.
• Nightmare Fuel: In the "Top 10 Mortal Kombat Fatalities" video, Baraka's "impale the character" fatality made the list, and Craig justified it by saying how creepy it is: Imagine the last thing you experience in life is sliding down Baraka's blades as you meet Baraka's evil eyes and he stares into your soul. (shudder)
• Replacement Scrappy:
  • Some saw Destin as this when he made his debut shortly after Handsome Tom left the site. Notably the Video Game Vaults and Top 10s featuring Destin are amongst the lowest rated of the Screwattack videos on GameTrailers.com.
    • Averted with Nervous Nick who seems popular with the users on GameTrailers.com and does the video game vaults and the top ten videos regularly with Craig.
  • The Industry is this to fans of Clip of the Week. Thankfully for them, it did not last long at all.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Handsome Tom & 8-Bit Mickey (currently on Channel Awesome) left the site in early 2008.
  • Members of the SA Community from that time period would also recognize Marz Gurl, The Chick With The Goggles, Lee from Still Gaming and Benzaie as members of the community.
  • Destin Legarie of IGN's Wiki site used to give people the pointer finger on a daily basis as the original anchor of Hard News.
• Tear Jerker: Jared anouncing his departure from the site on the October 1st, 2012 edition of Hard News. No fanfare leading up to it, and no "At the end of this week/month..." in the anouncement, just Jared simply stating that he was no longer part of the team, effective immediately. The main reason that Jared was fired was due to him starting to focus more on his own projects over his work at ScrewAttack, causing him and Craig to talk about it, and both of them agreeing that it was time for Jared to move on from ScrewAttack.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The real-life departure of Handsome Tom, Perfect Liz and 8-Bit Mickey. People were not especially receptive to Destin & Corey at first because it seemed the three others were hired to replace them.
  • The feedback to the first video Destin did for ScrewAttack — a Video Game Vault for X-Men on the Sega Genesis — was so bad on GameTrailers.com that it was a long time before anyone other than Craig did a video that was posted on GameTrailers.com. The next was the first half of the Top Ten Sega Genesis Games which featured Craig, Corey and Destin. Comments featured people saying Corey wasn't a gamer because she was a girl or because they felt she was a fake, and more accusations that Destin was just there to replace Tom. The second half of the Top Ten just featured Craig.
  • Once Tom, Liz, and Mickey left, ScrewAttack became less about games and more "The Stuttering Craig Show".
  • ScrewAttack nowadays has stopped doing Hard News, Video Game Vault, and Screwin' Around to focus on Death Battle as their bread and butter. While Top 10 videos still trickle in, even supplemented by the Top X Reasons We Love/Hate series, Hard News, Video Game Vault, and Screwin' Around all grinded to a halt in mid 2014. This is mainly due to them being bought and acquired by a company which owned Rooster Teeth. Seeing as Rooster Teeth's version of Hard News has more views, and moving Hard News from ScrewAttack to gauge its popularity, it's safe to say that Hard News is down for good. As to whether or not this was a wise choice is up to debate, but business is business.
