* [[Caustic Critic]]: his modus operendi

* [[Couch Gag]]: the SEED review video blogs have two a piece. one at the beginning where a clip will play followed by Clawshrimpy [[Snark Bait|snarking at it]] and one at the end, ranging from having Uzumi quoting the Neutral Planet Ambassador from Futurama, to playing the sad walking away music from the Ang Lee Incredible Hulk film over {{spoiler|Nicol and Tolle's death scenes}}.

Line 33:

* Romantic Plot Tumor: Clawshrimpy seems to lose interest quickly in character relationships. He felt the Cagali/Athrun [[Ship Tease]] episode "War for Two" was just filler.

* [[Scare Campaign]]: Clawshrimpy expressed disdain when [[Only Sane Man]] Chairman Clyne lost office to Patrick Zala because Patrick Zala used The Bloody Valentine Tragedy this way.
