Joseph Catalanetto, aka JoCat, is an animator, graphic designer, and illustrator whose primary output is on YouTube. He was part of HIJEK, and frequently collabs with Whimseyshrimp and Jet Man Jay while streaming; the channel was the primary output place for HIJEK prior to the 2010s. He was also a guest player on The Unexpectables in 2019 for their Tracadia Arc.JoCat is most known for his comedic "guides" on Monster Hunter, Dungeons & Dragons, and Final Fantasy XIV called A Crap Guide, which are narrated by "JoCrap", a persona/original character of JoCat's. JoCrap is both Caustic Critic and a master of Accentuating the Negative... even if there's nothing negative to say. JoCrap teaches the player how to play the games, but does so in the most condescending way possible.JoCat also streams on Twitch, and occasionally posts edited versions of certain streams on his main channel, initially called "J-Overly Edited", they're now referred to as "Stream Highlights". He also does "Character Creator Critique"s, in which he picks apart different character creators in various games, and he has a video essay on Klonoa 2. He has also ran two different tabletop campaigns set in a shared setting: Belkinus Necro Hunt and The Golden Cay, with a third one, Heart of Elynthi, currently running.On December 18th, 2023, JoCat declared he was going on an indefinite hiatus due to sustained harassment.His channel can be found here.

The Artifact
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Even after A Crap Guide to Monster Hunter ended and the series started branching out into other games, JoCrap's look remained the same, decked out in ridiculous Hunter gear and worshiping his Sword and Shield. The only time it's ever changed is the Crap Guides to FFXIV, in which JoCrap's head is replaced with a Fat Chocobo mask for the in-game footage.

Memetic Badass: invokedJoCrap will never let you down when it comes to endlessly praising the Sword and Shield as the mightiest, most broken weapon in the game. Never mind those internet tier lists or obviously edited stat screens. It is the best and can do everything.note S&S is Monster Hunter's noob-friendly Jack of All Stats weapon. It really can do everything, it's just not nearly as good at specifics as the rest of the roster's more specialized weapons.

comment
Underestimating Badassery: JoCrap highlights how Clerics (at least in 5e) are much more versatile (and arguably game-breaking) than their reputation as designated healers implies.note As detailed in Lost Episode, this is something Jo himself was guilty of while he made the first version of the episode, with the present version being made after he realized his mistake.

The Cameo
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: "A Crap Guide To D&D: Rogue" has Puffin Forest make a brief appearance questioning why JoCrap is acting like an Ineffectual Loner. "A Crap Guide To D&D: Dungeon Master" features several other YouTubers as players at JoCrap's table. These include (in order of appearance) Takahata101, Connor McKinley, Gaijin Goombah, Chris Zito, and Monty Glu from The Unexpectables, Octopimp, Yaroshien, Brachyzoid, Boo Rad13y, Sir Malervik, Caitlinc37, Terrance Drye, Zee Bashew, Abserd, Felix Irnich, Dingo Doodles, Red and Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions, Davvy Chappy, XP to Level 3, Tulok the Barbrarian, JessJackdaw, Reba Derps, Cami-Cat, Stuart from The Loading Crew, and Matthew Mercer from Critical Role. In the Spooky Slice video, which is a full version of a Monster Mash parody that was used in "A Crap Guide to FFXIV: Melee DPS" for the Reaper class, the voice of Zenos was Luke Allen-Gale. Otherwise known as the actual english voice actor for Zenos.

Immediate Self-Contradiction: In the Crap Guide to Rangers, after explaining that they don't actually need to use a "ranged weapon", JoCrap then proceeds to discuss the class' exclusive abilities, all of which are described as powerful and based on ranged arrows. This gets rhetorically pointed out: In his first Baldur's Gate III stream, a Mind Flayer calls him thrall and gives him orders.

Funny Background Event
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: Throughout the intros and outros to the D&D Crap Guides, JoCrap sits at a table with an increasing amount of figurines of characters based on the classes he covered. Through this, we end up getting an amusing subplot between Felicia (the tiefling bard) and Sasha (the elf paladin) that otherwise avoids any attention: In "Crap Guide to Paladin", as Sasha is first introduced, an image of Felicia fawning over her gradually slides in. Once Sasha is placed on the table, Felicia (placed on the other end of it) can be seen with heart eyes pointed towards her direction. In "Crap Guide to Ranger", Felicia's figure is suddenly placed next to Sasha in the intro. In the outro, Felicia is tipped over and placed directly under Sasha. In "Crap Guide to Warlock", a very brief shot during the Eldritch Blast montage shows that the two got married (and then consequently hit with Eldritch Blast). Finally, in "Crap Guide to Dungeon Master", they're holding hands in the intro. Red and Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions make a cameo in the Crap Guide to being a Dungeon Master. While Blue is talking, Red is playing with action figures of Matrix and Megabyte from ReBoot, making them fight each other.

The Unintelligible: In his Crap Guide to Charge Blade, JoCrap layers multiple recordings of himself speaking in an attempt to cover all of the complex weapon's ins and outs. This, combined with the slightly accelerated pace at which he speaks, makes it almost impossible to make sense of what he is saying (aside from when he says "So Tasty" and "WHERE'S MY DRAGONATOR?" louder than the other recordings). note  The first two layers are legitimate guides, the third was an addressing of some controversy on his Switch Axe video, and the fourth was him reading off the "Gorilla warfare" copypasta

Boring, but Practical
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_39b8d3d6
comment
Boring, but Practical: Openly mocks the common "Human Fighter" phenomenon of D&D in A Crap Guide, calling it the most bland possible option. The "character" he dreams up for it is literally named "John Fighter-Man" whose description is The Generic Guy. However, JoCrap does this while also pointing out just how annoyingly good the class is, both in terms of combat and being insanely newbie-friendly. In "A Crap Guide to DPS," two samurai can't attack the dragon after it goes out of melee range. One samurai is standing around waiting to get back in range while the second is using their weaker ranged attack. JoCat states that it may be Scratch Damage at best, but it's better than no damage at all.

JoCrap loves the sword and shield combination, saying that one should never need to use anything else in either Monster Hunter or Dungeons & Dragons. However, he shows clear favoritism for the weapon pairing by editing pictures and making wildly untrue claims about it.

Bittersweet Ending: His final public upload was the end of his campaign to support Gendered Intelligence, a transgender rights group, by clearing The Omega Protocol (Ultimate) in Final Fantasy XIV. JoCat and friends cleared the fight which was (at the time) the hardest content that XIV had to offer, taking 1,573 tries and over a year of attempts, starting in December 2022 and finally clearing it in January 2024. After the fight was over, JoCat got his weapon reward with an enormous crowd of supporters cheering for him. He ended the video by thanking the people who watched his content for being a positive impact in his life, but insisted he "need[ed] this step away" for a while. The last shot was during a presentation that JoCat gave at the LA Tech School of Design in March 2018, where someone suggested that he should make YouTube videos.

Earn Your Fun: Discussed in the video "So I Wanna Talk About How It Took Me 300 Hours To Like FFXIV". The gist of the video is not that it takes three hundred hours to get good at the game, but that JoCat realized that he was intentionally making the experience worse for himself by skipping cutscenes, doing only sidequests, and generally not wanting to interact with the world of the game. Once he started exploring Eorzea more diligently, he got much better owing to being more emotionally invested.

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_454d9422
comment
Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", JoCrap gets fed up when none of his players will listen to him as the DM, so JoCrap rejects all of their actions and then kills them all by having the Big Bad drop a mountain on top of them. This causes all of his players to leave the table.

Unfortunate Implications: Discussed. JoCrap remarks how unintentionally traumatic it is for Summoners to create avatars of the Primals for their attacks, the same monsters that have killed thousands of people over the years and one of which nearly destroyed the entire world.

comment
The All-Solving Hammer: According to JoCrap, Wizards only need Fireballs, Warlocks are Eldritch Blast dispensers on legs, Paladins should just disregard spellcasting and SMITE! everything. In Monster Hunter, Insect Glaive users obviously should avoid doing anything that isn't jumping like a spaz and spinning around in the air, because that's clearly the best way to contribute.

Early-Installment Weirdness: JoCrap's character in the Monster Hunter Crap Guides was less loud and a little more abrasive, constantly making jabs at how most weapons made you like anime protagonists where later Crap Guides would embrace this. As well, his character was less muscular than his later takes.

comment
In "A Crap Guide to DPS," two samurai can't attack the dragon after it goes out of melee range. One samurai is standing around waiting to get back in range while the second is using their weaker ranged attack. JoCat states that it may be Scratch Damage at best, but it's better than no damage at all.

A subtle one — in the first edition of "A Crap Guide to D&D: Barbarian", JoCrap snarks at Intelligence being a Dump Stat, which is why his is "the number that comes after 3." In the revised edition of the video, this specific joke was cut, but gets referenced in an earlier line with JoCrap saying he's gained "a whopping one additional point in my Intelligence since [the first edition]", showing his stat rise from 4 to 5.

Combat Medic: Pushes this playstyle for Healers in FFXIV because the basic design of the game means that everyone has to output some damage. If there's nobody to heal, you should be contributing to the fight by making it end faster, and helping to kill enemies means you're keeping the party alive by reducing sources of damage.

Parody Assistance: Matthew Mercer appeared in JoCrap's video on Dungeon Masters, as the Dungeon Master of Critical Role. Mercer tells JoCrap that he needs to talk to his players, but JoCrap tells Mercer that "nobody cares" and ignores him. His video on "The Spooky Slice", a parody of "The Monster Mash", features a line from Zenos of Final Fantasy XIV. Said line is voiced by Luke Allen-Gale, the English voice actor for Zenos in the game.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: JoCrap accurately knows D&D, Final Fantasy XIV, and Monster Hunter. He demonstrates this by giving some good advice about how to play a class effectively in videos on each respective game, despite all three games playing very differently from each other. It's just he makes weird metaphors and insults the viewer while he does it, frequently going off on tangents and implying that the viewer is a moron for not knowing everything he talks about already.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: During the Bard episode of A Crap Guide to D&D, when Matthew Mercer is throwing pool noodles at the unnamed player, pausing on the very last frame of the scene will result in being treated to this disclaimer: During the Wizard episode of A Crap Guide to D&D pausing on the line "Mr-I-actually-believe-wizard-memes-are-as-funny-in-the-game-as-they-are-on-social-media" shows a wall of text calling out a Facebook group who had been sharing his videos without crediting him properly. As revealed in a later stream, the group were eventually shut down. The last frame of the Character Sheet episode is a picture of Jo looking down at his computer, being vastly overshadowed by his wackier online persona. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", JoCrap rolls his d20 before he apologizes for losing his temper. A zoom-in to the dice shows that he got a nat 20, which explains why his apology is accepted.

Author Appeal: In the "Races" rap, he describes the tall, muscular Goliaths and Half-Orcs as the pinnacle of beauty. Discussed in the video "So I Wanna Talk About How It Took Me 300 Hours To Like FFXIV". Hearing that there are more tall, muscular women in the game appeals to JoCat, but doesn't convince him. But once Jo hears that you can make your Player Character into a cat-boy, he's instantly sold.

Planet of Hats: Has a bit of a beef with it, joking in the Bard video that playing a D&D class makes you contractually obligated to make your character as stereotypical as possible (hence his bard being a flirty comic relief) and in "Races" that you really shouldn't think about making your character "fit" their race too much.

Mean Character, Nice Actor: JoCat is nothing like JoCrap. Whereas JoCrap is a Caustic Critic who is loud and brash, JoCat is soft-spoken, rather kind, and cordial when he plays or livestreams a game. Perhaps best exemplified at the beginning of the episode on Character Alignment, in which JoCat goes out of his way to point out the disclaimer at the beginning of the video that his videos are all in good fun. (Though it's also because the topic of alignment is Flame Bait among longtime D&D players.)invoked

Jerkass Has a Point: Downplayed. While JoCrap invoking Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies on his players in the Crap Guide to Dungeon Master video was uncalled for, many of the players weren't listening to him, weren't picking up on his story-beats (or even deliberately ignored them), or were trying to get him to allow them to powergame, so at least some of his anger is justified. JoCat admits as much to JoCrap that he may have a point about being angry, but then wonders if JoCrap has ever thought about the game that the players want to play instead of trying to railroad them.

However, he shows clear favoritism for the weapon pairing by editing pictures and making wildly untrue claims about it.

Overshadowed by Awesome: In the "Magic DPS" video, Black Mage is portrayed as this compared to the other magical DPS jobs in Final Fantasy XIV. Summoner can summon smaller copies of Primals that can deal damage but can also heal while Red Mage trades larger damaging spells for physical attacks and an instant cast which would allow you to resurrect your fallen allies in a jiff. All of this is compared to Black Mage, who is a gas-guzzler who can only really get the most of its damage while standing still in leylines while guzzling down Ethers to restore you MP.

Our Goblins Are Different

comment
Our Goblins Are Different: Discussed in the Crap Guide to Goblins. While JoCrap admits you could just use them as Cannon Fodder or Surprisingly Elite Cannon Fodder, you can customize goblins beyond that as dangerous menaces, adorable little scamps, or oddly sexy monster girls that make you question if you have a new fetish or if it was there all along.

Rule Zero: Played for Drama. After JoCrap causes a Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies scenario on his players in "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", the players all leave the table. JoCat then enters the scene to tell JoCrap that the players are just as much a part of the experience as a DM, and that if you ignore what your players want as the DM, the game won't be any fun.

LostEpisode
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_95087b32
comment
Lost Episode: Several 5e D&D classes all had Crap Guide entries that were re-done for different reasons. Barbarian was re-done because it was "poopy-doopy", and made a lot of mistakes in how the class works. Interestingly, the original Barbarian video is still up; the rest have been hidden or taken down. Cleric was re-done because JoCat made a number of untrue assumptions about the power of the class, basically assuming they were like healers in MMOs and not the divine spellcasting nightmares they actually are and have been since 3rd Edition. JoCat corrected it by having JoCrap point out how wildly overpowered that Clerics can get. In the updated Cleric video's intro, JoCrap says that "some say they're not strong, and those people are wrong" while punching JoCat repeatedly in the face. Warlock was redone because it was "weak and unfulfilling".

Random Effect Spell: A portion of the Crap Guide to Sorcerers is devoted to exploring D&D's Wild Magic, depicted as a wheel of spells which ends up going for a while after JoCrap spins it too hard. By the episode's end, the wheel finally stops and turns him into a potted plant. (Which is indeed a real potential outcome of Wild Magic in 5e). The episode ends with the still-planted JoCrap just staring at the screen instead of moving his head.

Character Alignment: Devoted a whole episode to explaining the differences between them.

Added Alliterative Appeal: In the Crap Guide to Barbarian, he describes the Barbarian's rage as "A Ferocious Frenzy of Force that Foes will Fear For all their Fannies". JoCat also has a series titled "Character Creator Critique", where he... well, critiques video games' character creator options. In the "Melee DPS" guide to Final Fantasy XIV, JoCrap starts the video with a long alliterative sentence about melee classes using multiple words that start with the letter "P". He eventually starts putting a lot of emphasis on each "P" sound, and by the end of the sentence, he's resorted to making spitting noises.

Hypocritical Humor: In A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master, JoCrap tells Red and Blue to stop comparing his totally original campaign to tropes and historical events, or he'll sic the Light-grey Walkers on them. In A Crap Guide to D&D: Cleric, he claims that anyone who considers the Cleric a designated healer either never played the game or think sword and shield is a viable weapon in Monster Hunter... before realizing that's exactly what he does.

After the intro theme, we see that JoCat erased JoCrap's arm to get him to do the video properly.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: The Fighter video starts and ends with a variation of the iconic Spider-Man (1967) theme, then mocks people who play as human fighters instead of Kobold Paladins who pray to asteroids before they they crush an unfortunate man's cabbage cart. In the Druid video, JoCrap calls a bear "Yogi", and says that pretending to be a bear is the perfect comeback for a bear, because "they'll never see it coming", complete with a replica of Joker's Phantom Thief mask. In the Wizard video, JoCrap says that you should use Fireball and only Fireball. He then starts repeating "Just Fireball," taking on the appearance of Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club!, complete with a "Just Fireball" text box in the style of that game's text. The Wizard video also features Alphys from Undertale, waving her arms while explaining things to the Wizard. The song that plays out the Wizard video has Aang putting Sokka through pain, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense, the Memetic Mutation Bowsette, one of the Exodia cards and Dickbutt. The Artificer video features Al in a picture beside the goblin character. Later, explaining the Alchemist subclass, he invokes the infamous image of Nina and her dog. In the Alignment video, JoCrap calls himself "such a Slytherin" for being so cunning. In the Character Sheet video, he refers to the stat box as "this Tower of Pimps" "A Crap Guide to Wizard" has a Virgin vs. Chad comparison of the Virgin Wizard to the Chad Sorcerer, and Character Sheets of the Virgin Alignment to the Chad Personality Traits. In the Crap Guide to Tanks in Final Fantasy XIV, JoCrap chastises the viewer by saying "That's what I thought you'd say, ya dumb fuckin' horse!" JoCrap describes the Dark Knight in Final Fantasy XIV as "being able to do your best Guts impersonation". Earlier in the episode, he asks the viewer if they know how to "find a static in their FC to prog uwu"note finding a dedicated team in their Free Company to progress through the Ultima Weapon Ultimate boss fight, the word "static" is punctuated by a drawing of the superhero. In the "Melee DPS" video for Final Fantasy XIV, JoCrap encourages anyone playing as a Reaper to "do the Spooky Slice", set to the tune of "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers. The same video, the Ninja is showcased by the character Tac from the Kirby games. As well, the attacks "Fuma Shuriken", "Katon", "Hyoton", "Huton" as "tmnt", "Lina Inverse", "ice age" and "flash". In the "Ranged DPS" video for Final Fantasy XIV, the Bard song buffs are represented by various anime theme songs: "Tank!", "Database", "Butterfly", "Bloody Stream" and "99". In the "Magical DPS" video, JoCrap sings the various abilities of the Blue Mage to the tune of "Yakko's World." Also in the video, when talking about bosses not moving out of his obvious cast circle, considering it to be like throwing stones in a glass house, it's drawn like a skit from Zero Punctuation.

Instead of the typical opening gag or overview, Crap Guide to Fighter begins with a verse of Musical Exposition to the tune of the Spider-Man theme. Instead of the usual outro, a second verse is sung.

Connected All Along: When the Elf Paladin is properly introduced after appearing in other A Crap Guide to D&D episodes, her name is stated to be "Sasha Stoutbough", revealing that she's related to earlier-profiled Elf character Gadiel Stoutbough the Cleric. A later behind-the-scenes video makes it clear that Sasha is Gadiel's older sister.

Big "SHUT UP!"
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_d1e7f24a
comment
Big "SHUT UP!": In the video on sword and shield in Monster Hunter, JoCrap says that sword and shield deals more damage than anything else. To prove this point, JoCrap shows a sword and shield with an attack of 99,999. When someone points out that JoCrap clearly edited that picture, JoCrap yells at them to shut up. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", JoCrap gets fed up when none of his players will listen to him as the DM, so JoCrap rejects all of their actions and then kills them all by having the Big Bad drop a mountain on top of them. Matt Mercer shows up in the middle of this rage to tell JoCrap to listen to his players and calm down, but JoCrap just yells at Mercer that nobody cares.

Cast Full of Gay: Two tweets by JoCat establish that a large amount of the characters in A Crap Guide to D&D are LGBT: Felicia (Bard) is pansexual, Sasha (Paladin) is a lesbian, Hutrax and John (Wizard and Fighter) are gay, Chad (Sorcerer) is transgender, Rogmesh (Ranger) is bisexual, Ricmo (Druid) is non-binary, and Busmic and Yathyra (Warlock and Monk) are asexual.

Toilet Humor: Invoked in Crap Guide to Monk, thanks to a Bilingual Bonus and "not knowing how to make the ki section funnier", he translates "ki" as "poop". In the Crap Guide to Dungeon Master, JoCrap says that if you're the DM and somebody farts, you have to describe the smell.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", JoCrap yells at all of his players and invokes Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies. After he's done ranting, everyone else is silent for a beat, then walks away from the table while talking amongst themselves about how bad JoCrap is as a DM.

comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", he says his Signing-Off Catchphrase of "you're welcome!" as always, but the tone is quite angry. The main theme starts to play, but it's much slower and somber. JoCrap then drops the Caustic Critic attitude and says he's sorry to his players, even admitting how his "aggressive" attitude is because he just wants to run the best campaign he can and make the game as fun as possible. This causes all the players to give JoCrap another chance and return to the table after seeing JoCrap's attitude change.

Crossover: Zee Bashew makes a cameo in "A Crap Guide To D&D: Wizard". A later episode of the Animated Spellbook confirms that the cameo was canon to that series, as Bashew had to be revived from the Fireball JoCrap threw at him. Has a massive one with assorted Art and D&D channels in "A Crap Guide to D&D [5th Edition] - Dungeon Master". Most notable among these cameos is Matt Mercer As Himself. JoCrap featured heavily in one of NCHProductions's Monster Hunter: World animation shorts, having a complete mental breakdown over the Iceborne expansion indirectly nerfing his beloved Sword and Shield by expanding the ability to use the Slinger without sheathing the weapon first to all weapon types.

Fun With Blenders
 JoCat (Web Animation) / int_f013ccf5
comment
Fun With Blenders: In "A Crap Guide to Healers," made before the Endwalker expansion of Final Fantasy XIV went live, JoCrap jokes that Sage nouliths are made by tossing carbuncles into a blender. Somewhat substantiated after EW's release, when Alphinaud said the following after his class change: "If I intend to master these sage's armaments, that will mean learning to imbue them with the same aether that I poured into Moonstone and Obsidian. […] For me, it will help to think of the nouliths as allies in battle—simply a new form of the energy which went into manifesting my Carbuncle companions." This prompted the appropriate reaction from JoCat on stream: [1]

Rage Against the Author: In the Crap Guide to Monk, JoCat is assaulted from behind by JoCrap with a flying kick for taking too long to start the video. Inverted in the Crap Guide to Dungeon Master. After JoCrap causes a Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies scenario on his players, the players all leave the table because they're fed up with him. JoCat then enters the scene to tell JoCrap that the players are just as much a part of the experience as the DM.

Dungeons and Dragons has small figurines or some other objects to represent topics that JoCrap has already covered. At the end of each episode, a figurine is added on that video's subject. "Goblins" adds a shelf with a goblin plushie, "Alignments" an alignment chart nailed to the wall, and Character Sheets a character sheet next to the Goblin plushie. "Dungeon Master" didn't feature anything new, but it instead had all of the figures turned towards JoCrap.

Will They or Won't They?: Throughout the Crap Guide to D&D, the Bard and the Paladin are often shown flirting with each other to mixed success, and almost have a moment where they finally tie the knot. That is, if the Warlock didn't hit Eldritch Blast in the middle of their ceremony.

Brick Joke

comment
Brick Joke: Instead of the typical opening gag or overview, Crap Guide to Fighter begins with a verse of Musical Exposition to the tune of the Spider-Man theme. Instead of the usual outro, a second verse is sung. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Bard," JoCrap claims that if you don't follow every stereotype of the class, Matthew Mercer will jump through your window and throw foam noodles at you. When Matt Mercer cameos in the DM video, he's carrying a bunch of foam noodles in his arms, which JoCrap slaps out of Mercer's hands. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master", JoCrap as a DM tells one group bickering about an ambush plan "I'll give you 6 minutes and 44 seconds; if you don't come to an agreement on a plan I'm feeding your minis to the Wigglers." He hits his Rage Breaking Point exactly 6 minutes and 44 seconds after that line. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Sorcerer," JoCrap spins "The Wheel of Wild Magic" to demonstrate the random effects of the class's "Wild Magic Surge" ability, before leaving it because it wasn't stopping fast enough. It finally stops at the end of the video, turning JoCrap into a potted plant in the process. In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Druid" JoCrap mentions how terrifying Druid gets later in the game and then a Fire-Breathing seagull with a minigun attached to its back with a scorpion tail appears on screen the same chimera appears later in the Alignment video when talking about Good/Evil alignments. A subtle one — in the first edition of "A Crap Guide to D&D: Barbarian", JoCrap snarks at Intelligence being a Dump Stat, which is why his is "the number that comes after 3." In the revised edition of the video, this specific joke was cut, but gets referenced in an earlier line with JoCrap saying he's gained "a whopping one additional point in my Intelligence since [the first edition]", showing his stat rise from 4 to 5.
