YMMV / Guess the Build

Accidental Innuendo:
- In Impulse's 3rd episode, one of the guess prompts is "Ariel riding Prince Eric except Prince Eric is a mouse." For context, the "mouse" character is supposed to be a Horse of a Different Color and is interpreted as such in the episode.
- The initial thumbnail for Skizz's 5th episode censors out his "flesh-tone giraffe", which — given the colour scheme and the shape of the build with the giraffe's neck — makes it seem as though he built something completely different.
- In Jimmy's 7th episode, Skizz picks the prompt "Jimmy, distracted by his cell phone, is about to trip over Grian who's doing push-ups." His resulting build looks like Jimmy is getting ready to paddle Grian. While the prompt does remain mostly intact by the end, Joel's final build results in a Grian with an oddly generous backside and a Jimmy apparently spying on him through a window and taking pictures.
Alternative Character Interpretation: While most of the build chains are just disconnected interpretations and reinterpretations of the same prompt, some fans have tried to connect the builds to form storylines involving each build in the chain.
- In the first round in Episode 1, the Enderman in Joel's build chain can be interpreted to have Earned Their Happy Ending, from being fired from his first job at McDonald's, then having a One-Person Birthday Party as a firefighter, but eventually getting a new job delivering cakes.
- In Joel's 2nd episode, the houses in Gem's build chain can be interpreted to go from partying with other sentient houses to partying alone, then being left to drown their sorrows alone as a Downer Ending.
- Gem and Skizz's build chain in the latter's 4th episode reads like a Dream Episode in which Grian reads a horror story in bed while watching a romance movie, before he starts apparently merging with the bed and turning into human static while the TV fizzles out… only to be awoken from the Nightmare Sequence by a loud infomercial in the dead of night.
Fridge Brilliance:
- In Skizz's 2nd episode, he guesses a build of a "woman sitting on [a] banana float in a pool" to be specifically PearlescentMoon, to the other players' confusion. While Skizz was not in either series at the time, Pearl did wear a similarly green outfit to the woman in the build in the Empires SMP.
- In Gem's 3rd episode, Skizz guesses a pink flower to be a cactus, to the other players' bewilderment. However, according to a commenter on the video, the flower in question does resemble the flower of the Saguaro cactus, which is native to and common in Skizz's home state of Arizona.
- In Jimmy's 5th episode, Grian builds himself to have a pet platypus modelled after Perry. Although Gem comments on how Perry is missing his hat in the build, this design choice also makes perfect sense in that Dr. Doofenshmirtz doesn't recognize Perry without his hat on, making that clearly a normal platypus.
Friendly Fandoms: Due to creator overlap, most fans of the series are also fans of Hermitcraft and/or the Life SMP.
Heartwarming Moments: In Joel's 5th episode, the prompt is "A great day in your life", to which most of the creators' responses involve either their family or fellow creator friends.
Hilarious in Hindsight:
- Impulse's 3rd episode ends with Grian jokingly threatening to kick Impulse from the cast because he fractured his fairy tales to Epic Failure levels despite coming up with the episode theme in the first place. Since Impulse was on vacation during the Episode 4 recordings, Martyn InTheLittleWood ended up substituting in for him, giving the impression that Impulse was genuinely banned for an episode.
- In Skizz's 5th episode, Joel is appalled by Skizz's flesh-tone giraffe and asks if he's ever taken a colour-blindness test to use such a poorly chosen palette. It then turns out that Joel himself is colour-blind.
- Grian's 3rd episode has the creators conclusively decide that Jimmy winning a season of the Life SMP to be an unlikely situation. Just over a year later, Jimmy makes it to the final Duel to the Death in Past Life and ends up in 4th place — not bad at all!
Memetic Mutation:
One-Scene Wonder: Gem's 3rd episode inexplicably has GoodTimesWithScar lurking in the voice-call, and he suddenly makes a brief appearance in Jimmy's build plot halfway through the first round of builds. Despite Scar not doing anything other than appear, it's one of the most replayed moments of the episode.
Trans Audience Interpretation: In Gem's 2nd episode, the character in Joel's build chain receives a Gender Flip from a boy to an old woman, which is interpreted by some fans to be a trans woman's Late Coming Out while still playing brass instruments.
