Atop the Fourth Wall/Tropes E To P: Difference between revisions

* [[Flat What]]:

** His reaction to the use of the McCarran Act in "Amazons Attack #3".

{{quote|'''Liz''': I'll bring out my Red Eyes Black Dragon...

'''Lewis''': What.

* [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]]: Notes how even ''towels'' do this in ''22 Brides'' issue #1.

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: The blinking "Extreme" logo in the ''Newmen'' review flashes "Buy Revolution of the Mask" and, even more briefly, "If you can read this, you paused the video."

* [[Fridge Logic]]:

** After Linkara finishes his ''New Guardians'' review, he pops out and says: "Wait a second - if their mission is to proliferate their DNA through procreation, why is there a gay guy in the group?"

** Reuisu. The nickname he used before Linkara. His [http://www.youtube.com/user/reuisu YouTube account] is under this name, and so is his membership on the forum for [[The Agony Booth]], where he once submitted a guest article.

*** [[Bilingual Bonus|Reuisu is "Lewis" in Japanese.]]

* [[I Meant to Do That]]: Linkara operates a panel in ''[[Star Trek Elite Force|Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]'' and blows up one of the crewmen. Linkara responds thus.

* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]:

* [[Leitmotif]]:

** '90s Kid's rants are always backed up by [[Nirvana]]'s ''Smells Like Teen Spirit'', though he sometimes uses "Smells Like Nirvana" by [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al Yankovic]] in its place. "Finger of Fear" for Dr. Insano (and Dr. Linksano). "Graveyard" for Mechakara.

** If [[Captain America (comics)]] does something awesome, "[[Team America: World Police|America, Fuck Yeah!]]" is sure to follow.

* [[Let's See You Do Better]]: Linkara got some criticism of this nature from [[Frank Miller]] fans after he criticised some of Miller's most recent works, with numerous comments of this nature about his own comic efforts. Linkara pointed out that he has only been doing it for a few years while Miller has been continuously working for three decades, and it is not unreasonable to suggest that his work could be better than it is.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: He usually wears the same combination of jacket, plaid/black shirt and hat. (although he's shown off his [[Star Trek]] uniform collection... and the [[Power Rangers Zeo]] version of his reviewer wardrobe!)

* [[Lipstick and Load Montage]]: During the "Linkara Lost" arc, [[Real Life Relative|Linkara's real-life girlfriend]] Iron Liz replaces him for an episode. We see her suiting up in a near shot-for-shot remake of Linkara's own [[Lock and Load Montage]]... save for one shot of her applying lipstick.

* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: We got one first during the ''[[Amazons Attack]]'' introduction (after a failed [[Training Montage]]). His opening notably features one as well.

* [[Logic Bomb]]: Frequently pointed out, with something along the lines of, "Yeah, ''[insert logical inconsistency here]''! ...wait, what?"

** The Blob eating the Wasp in ''[[Ultimatum]]'', which promptly halts his review and causes him to quickly call out the comic for putting in something like that with no warning for mature readers, as well as killing the Wasp for no good reason.

** In the ''Rise of Arsenal'' review, he states this trope. As we see a panel of Roy Harper getting his arm ripped off by his daughter.

* [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]: '90s Kid suggests a heavily armed hero named Bloodgun. Who is entirely made ''out'' of guns, including one for a head.

* [["No. Just... No" Reaction]]: Among the 15 comics he would not review was the infamous [[Sonichu]]. He stated that he wished he had never heard of it and refused to give it any publicity.

* [[Noodle Implements]]: When [[Superman]] was forced to do porn under mind control the story brushes it off with Superman saying his memory was fuzzy. Linkara jokes about him remembering a goat, salad dressing, and a traffic cone.

{{quote|"And after that it just gets ''weeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiird''."}}

** The review of ''All-Star Batman and Robin'' includes parts of the script and the disclaimer is used just to assure us that what the viewer is seeing actually is what [[Frank Miller]] wrote - particularly that Miller admits ''in writing'' to being shameless in wanting a close-up panel of Vicki Vale's panty-clad ass.

** ''The Ultimates'' #3 review notes that his voicing the Tony Stark ''robot'' as a drunk is not just his own joke, but the robot actually asks for vodka at one point.

* [[Power of Love]] - Points out in [[Care Bears]] #13 that they are literally attacking people with the power of love...

* [[Power-Up Letdown]]: His ''Maximum Clonage'' review is upgraded to ''wide screen''! Now you can see... more of the futon and the shadow on one side...

{{quote|"Oh my God! TV Tropes used one of my quotes!"}}

** This tendency is subverted in the review for ''Secret Defenders'' #10. Linkara cannot do one as he could only get Phelous as a guest star; everyone else was too busy making crossover videos following the brawl.
