That’s his idea of flexing his “legit gamer knowledge”. Every time he posts “Super Mario Brothers 2”, he HAS to add “aka Doki Doki Panic in Japan!” It’s so lame and pathetic. Even his video game trivia is lame. I mean, one thing he could do that would at least be something interesting for his dentheads (and doesn’t take much effort at all, he could do it at night on his phone while he’s drinking), and maybe even start some conversation in his chat, is to look up actual interesting trivia and little-known facts about the older games he’s playing (read through a game’s Wiki article? read through its TV Tropes page?). He can’t even do that, because Phil is absolutely one of the laziest “males” on this planet, possibly even THE laziest.
And when he explains normal shit like yesterday, like what people eat and do on the Fourth of July, well, these are things mature married adults do (according to him), and he also feels like he needs to explain shit to the handful of foreigners in his audience who don’t understand our weird American traditions and cuisine.
