0:52	playing the house (waiting for the scary jpegs to pop out)	A clip of Mr. Bean waiting from the movie Mr. Bean's Holiday.	The gameplay of The House is based around interacting with the environment to trigger "scary" events, with each stage ending with a jumpscare, and it often isn't clear which objects the player should click in what order, meaning that blind gameplay largely consists of clicking objects randomly and waiting for things to happen. The slander also mocks the game's use of edited photos as assets.
0:54	7780s studio after dropping the greatest horror game of all time	The "Nileseyy Niles Disappearing" GIF.	"7780s Studio" was a pseudonym for Kojima Productions during the beginning of P.T..

Fan depictions of Jeff the Killer often picture him as a conventionally attractive young man.

1:16	backrooms fans when they enter the backrooms and can't find the scary entities or the scrimblo area (level 1293208439)	"Confused Travolta" GIF.	The "Backrooms" creepypasta started out as a short story of endless, empty office corridors with an ambiguous implication of something else residing within it. However, as the creepypasta gained popularity on the internet over time, many interpretations of the Backrooms show on-screen appearances of various creatures inhabiting it and create additional rooms beside the office corridors itself. These newer interpretations were criticized for taking away from the horror that came from the original excerpt's ambiguity.
1:19	OFF fans being forcefully removed from the local graveyard (there are impure spirits in it)	A clip of Triple H being held back as he agrees to face Daniel Bryan during WrestleMania 30.	The plot of OFF has the player go around the world to purify it.

1:29	rpg maker horror games	A clip from the TikTok "1747 be like: #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #comdey #xyzbca #haha #viral #america" by @wameyojr.	Most RPG Maker games have tendency to include a section where the player is being chased by the killer.
1:31	danganronpa fans casually spoiling every facet of the overarching story	A sped-up GIF of Morshu's cutscene animations from Link: The Faces of Evil.

In Can Your Pet?, there is an "exercise bike" option that won't be unlocked until the player progresses further into the game. However, clicking on it as soon as the option becomes available reveals that the "bike" is actually an upside down meat grinder, which turns itself back up as the player's pet falls down and gets shredded into meat.
1:44	me looking at the moon (i forgot the overly specific instructions from the alert on TV)	The "Willem Dafoe Looking Up" GIF.	A reference to "Weather Service" by LOCAL58TV, where the in-universe titular station was hijacked to urge the viewers to look at the Moon, which itself was revealed to be replaced by a malevolent entity resembling the Moon as the story progresses. The mention of "overly specific instructions" likely also references the "Victory Position" from "Contingency" which many believe is also connected to looking at the moon.
1:46	ib fans when they see a word they don't recognize	A scene of Wee-Bey's incredulous reaction from The Wire episode "The Hunt".	Refers to how many paintings that are found throughout Ib have "???" with certain words in the names of the paintings.

1:58	iron lung fans driving a car (their senses are being overloaded due to them being able to see where they're going)	???	References how the main gameplay of Iron Lung has the player given no clear way of seeing where they are going with only a camera system to see what's outside.
2:01	corpse party fans in the middle of an earthquake (they finally understand why others find earthquakes scary)	Clip from the "Earthquake Makeup" meme.	In Corpse Party, an earthquake transports the protagonist characters to an alternate dimension.

2:16	fnaf security breach fanartists when the two human female characters turn out to be the same person	A GIF of a man eagerly opening a fridge then immediately turning away disappointed.	Referring to how Vanny and Vanessa were shipped together when their designs were originally showcased, and when Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach was officially released, there are hints heavily implying that Vanny and Vanessa are the same person.
2:18	caretaker fans when they suddenly start forgetting things at age 60 (they know all to well what's to come)	The "Worried Hiroshi Uchiyamada" GIF.	The Caretaker's Everywhere at the End of Time album series explores the concept of memory deterioration at an old age.

"もぺもぺ" ("Mopemope" in Japanese) is an animation made by Optie Animation based on the track of the same name by LeaF, that seems to be innocent until all the visuals glitch and become more gory. "Peaceful", an original collab level by Small and Zylenox based on this animation, was one of the first horror-themed Geometry Dash levels to become popular online, leading to some people to believe it was an original idea.
2:26	NPC: (gains sentience) man holding an umbrella:	GIF using the various images from the "I Be Poppin' Bottles, Sparkles and Champagne / Shannon Sharpe Fit Checks" meme.	Refers to the Half-Life 2 INTERLOPER ARG, which centers around sentient NPC's that are stalked and destroyed by figures carrying umbrellas.

These commercials, especially the "Auto" commercial, has gained popularity on the internet as screamers.
2:31	playing covetous	The "Thomas Wiltherford Rainbow" GIF	The final two levels of Covetous contain red/white flashing strobe lights in the background (which could definitely cause a seizure for those with photo-sensitive epilepsy) and an abrasive squealing noise, making them much more tense and difficult to sit through compared to the earlier stages.
2:33	mascot horror devs coming up with the most childish names imaginable for their scary antagonists	The "Gunna Writing Fire" GIF.	It's become a common trope in modern mascot horror games for the titular villain to have a silly name (e.g. Banban, Bendy, Huggy Wuggy, Choo-Choo Charles).
2:36	smartest horror protagonist	A clip of Patrick attempting to enter a store with a plank on his head from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "My Pretty Seahorse".
