Most ridiculously unfunny/annoying DSP moments? -

[Pretty Boy Extremism]

Walking instead of running in games. Specially when it's something like Returnal. Pure stall with no fucking reason. Phil doubles down on the annoyance factor when he says "There's NO WAY Resident Evil 8 is a 4 hour affair on normal, dudes! It took me SEVENTEEN HOURS!" like he wasn't intentionally stalling like a motherfucker and item hunting like an autismo. Trying to pass off his own bottom of the barrel gameplay as something normal or acceptable. When it's been proven that he takes at LEAST twice as long as a normal player to do a cherrypicked content and main story run of any given game.

Remember Yakuza 7? He'd walk or run everywhere and refuse to use taxis which is the fast travel of that game. You don't even need to walk to a taxi stand in that game anymore, compared to older games in the series, Ichi can call them from his phone from anywhere. When he found out about it he said that it's not worth it since it costs more to call it than walk to a taxi stand. You know how much it costs to call a taxi in that game? 1.1k yen, compared to (correct me if I'm wrong) 700 yen if you walk to a stand. That's NOTHING in this game's terms. After you get through the early game literal hobo phase, every random encounter gives you enough money for one taxi call, and by the time he "found out" about it he was in late game where a random encounter gives you enough money for at least 6 taxi calls, and that's just the ones that give the least money when beaten.

My personal favorite annoying/unfunny moment is in one of his retrospectives, he is playing a metal gear solid game and he is in a cutscene, you know how you watch look around when inside in game cutscenes? Well Phil character was inside of a jeep talking to some guy and Phil started rotating the camera around himself while ACK ACK ACKING like a retard because rotating the camera around yourself while inside an in game cutscene is the pinnacle of humor, this went on for minutes. It goes to show that even though we meme a lot about him having autism I can think of no person who doesn't have it finding rotating a camera around your character funny to the point you laugh about it for minutes and put it as one of the highlights of your carrer as a content creator.

 

[Full Race Replay]

all of dsps prestream music. some of it is quite good, except that the guy pastes in Phil's parody singing. the fact that phil does this parody singing and then makes it into a prestream song makes it seem forced and manufactured instead of more natural.

Not necessarily funny or annoying but I like these moments over the years where he completely destroys a "nice moment" with his own disgusting existence.

 

[Flavius Anthemius]

My take on his sense of humour is that whilst he was not always this way and has become more sedated and sober-sided over the years, it is an incredibly forced reaction most of the time and situational to whatever he's reacting to, barring a few exceptions. When he reacts to something funny, it may be as something like a visual gag or some sort of physical comedic timing thing, and his short chuckles and goat laugh whilst a bit awkward, are probably sensible to whatever he's reacting to. Then you have him going full on overreaction mode doing his notable ack ack ack ack laugh that is normally because he's done something stoopid in a game that wasn't supposed to pan out that way or he's laughing at a situation that doesn't really seem that funny to the average observer, but then you have Phil sounding like this deranged psychopath with some seal-like tendencies with whatever sort of game he's playing, for example...


Watch the first clip of him shooting the soldiers in MGSV and then the sequence after in that FMV cut scene. Yeah those moments seem perfectly reasonable to laugh at hysterically.

Then you have his really unamusing wisecrack type jokes that he does in reaction to something that people say to him or something that he conjures up out of nowhere in an appeal to try and sound funny, he does this a lot and really annoys the hell out of me when he does in a situation that is so out of place and then he immediately goes back to playing the game as if what he said never happened.

Like this moment in response to a cheer will never not be unfunny to me.

Humour is subjective sure, but then he just makes statements that make him sound like a mouth breather.
