===Another Puzzle Solved===
Another Puzzle Solved (APS) is a video game theory/video essay series, in which DearestHershel covers, theorizes and calculates diverse topics from the Professor Layton series. Examples include "Perplexing Paragliders", where Bob analyzes a part of the climax of "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" in which the titular Professor escapes from a collapsing tower with a self-made paraglider. Many APS Episodes are centered around figuring out the real-world equivalent of the fictional locations featured in the Layton series, e.g. "Finding Folsense", "The Quest for the Nest" or "The Search for St Mystere". The first APS video, "Finding Folsense", released January 2020.
===The Kebabby Chronicles===
In 2018, Bob and a group of friends made a slideshow titled "Professor Layton and the Bastard Who Shat Down My Chimney", satirizing the characters in the series, british culture and, most prominently, the british tabloid "The Sunday Sport". The slideshow featured an article of the Sunday Sport in which a man talked about someone defecating down his chimney and wishing to find out their identity. It takes place in Grimsby, a british town infamous for being run-down. Two sequel slideshows were also made, named "Professor Layton and the Man who Will Sniff Your Bike Seat" and "Professor Layton and the Plane on the Moon". Both were, according to Bob, "of considerable less quality". 
In 2020, DearestHershel and a few members of the "Team Top Hat" fangame team voiced Bastard Who Shat Down My Chimney, which was later uploaded to his YouTube on the 22th of February of the same year. Later that year, he started work on a new sequel more on-par with Bastard Who Shat Down My Chimney. The result was "Professor Layton and the Lad Who Shat In A Teacher's Kettle", recorded and released in November 2020. 
In February 2021, DearestHershel won an online auction for an original print of the Sunday Sport newspaper containing the story that 'Professor Layton and the Bastard Who Shat Down My Chimney' was based on. 
===200 Memes===
One of DearestHershel's most popular videos is a remix including 200 unique memes from across the last two decades. It is similar in style to DaymanOurSavior's "EXTREME MEME MUSIC MEGAMASHUP's". The memes range from 'We Are Number One' to TayZonday's 'Chocolate Rain'. The project took some time to complete but helped boost DearestHershel's channel to fame after the video was shared by Cyranek. The video was later unlisted, along with the sequel 'FIVE HUNDRED MEMES' because of the direction the channel went in.
===Case Book===
Case Book is a short series of Alternate Reality Game puzzles, in which the viewer is given a puzzle, sometimes a single clue and the category of the solution (e.g. 4-digit number, star). The way to get to the solution is usually hidden within the video, and users have to figure out for example the background music used, or download the video and brighten dark parts of it. The way to get to the solution usually includes several steps and each episode has several puzzles. Case Book was renewed for a second series, but was stopped due to a lack of interest.
