Line 22:
** Linkara also says that not even [[Frank Miller]], an infamous [[Dirty Old Man]], would stoop so low as to sexualize underage girls.
** Apparently, [[Rob Liefeld]] looks like a better artist when compared to Pat Lee's work.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Plushies]]: ''Bear!!''
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: ''"The bears are everywhere, man... See?! BEAR!!!"''
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Linkara points out editors should stick to editing and leave the writing to writers.
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]
Line 43:
* [[Flat What]]:
** His reaction to the use of the McCarran Act in "Amazons Attack #3".
** Used in his and Liz's first ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' duel, when she [[Back From the Dead|Monster Reborns]] a card that she had to discard.
{{quote| '''Liz''': I'll bring out my Red Eyes Black Dragon...<br />
'''Lewis''': What.<br />
'''Liz''': [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|That you made me get rid of.]]<br />
'''Lewis''': ''What.'' }}
** Used again in the second round.
Line 63:
{{quote| "What are you doing?! [[Lampshade Hanging|You are giving the slash fic writers material!"]]}}
** Linkara points out the Super Ninja in ''Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos'' #1 is unleashing his hatred of Chuck Norris... by punching a huge portrait of him.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Reviewed adverts in comic books in an attempt to copy [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] reviewing nostalgic commercials.
* [[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."
<!-- %%% -->
<!-- %%In-universe examples on Fridge tropes only. -->
Line 74:
** He points out that this can ruin some of the few seemingly good part of ''[[Countdown to Final Crisis]]''. Most notably, he admits that when the Monitor Bob made his [[Face Heel Turn]], he originally found it an exciting and interesting twist, but thinking more on it (and rereading the earlier issues) made him realise that Bob's betrayal made ''no'' sense when matched up to everything he had been doing before, and [[Shocking Swerve|pretty much came out of nowhere]]. 
** A recurring criticism of stories where heroes lose their powers is that it also applies to ones like [[Martian Manhunter]] who doesn't actually have any beyond natural abilities of his species.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: To quote a comment from the third part of his [[JLA: Act of God (Comic Book)|JLA Act of God]] review:
{{quote| '''Joe England:''' "And isn't it just so in-character how [[Wonder Woman]] was contemplating suicide WHILE WITH CHILD?? Dear lord."<br />
'''Linkara''' (In Response): "Good God, I didn't even think of that." }}
Line 90:
** He doesn't, however, have a problem with playing "America, Fuck Yeah" uncensored whenever Captain America shows how much of a badass he is.
** He also has no issues with writing gratuitous profanity for other people, as evidenced by the number of F-bombs Spoony drops in Linkara-written crossovers.
*** Or in the ''[[Robo CopRoboCop]] vs. the [[Terminator]]'' review, where the [[Stinger]] uses a clip of the T-800 saying "Fuck you, asshole."
** He also has no issues with it in bloopers, as evidenced by [[What the Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)|the cross-over Wonder Woman 2011 pilot review.]]
*** Not quite true, since in an "odds and ends" post, he remarks that he didn't know Nash was going to include it uncensored and would have asked him to bleep it.
* [[Guest Host]]: Pollo organizes Harvey Finevoice and 90s Kid to keep the scheduled reviews, despite Linkara being kidnapped to another dimension.
Line 106:
{{quote| '''Linkara''' "Help! I-I'm stuck!"}}
*** Then there was time he pulled ''the camera'' out of... wherever.
* [[Hand Wave]]: Linkara took a very long time to explain why his gun shoots lasers and in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' review he simply says "It's magic! I don't have to explain it!" which is a blatant [[Shout-Out]] to his much-hated ''[[One More Day]]''. He later [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|gave the full story]].
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Linksano, {{spoiler|at least while unaccompanied}}.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: He calls ''Cable'' #1 (which was created in 1992) out on this [[In -Universe]]. It starts off the comic with the World Trade Center being blown up for no particular reason. Linkara's response was [[Stunned Silence]], and then saying "[[Too Soon|...OKAY! MOVING ON THEN]]."
** And later on, in ''Game Boy'' #1....
{{quote| "We cut to New York and the... the World Trade Center. Towers. Well I mean this was made in 1990. There shouldn't be anything wrong. (later) "Later An Omnious Black, Cloud, Hovers... Above... The... Renowned... Twin... Towers..." (puts hand on face and sighs) oh sweet merciful crap.}}
Line 117:
{{quote| "If that's the case, then I shall give you what you want. Boner. Boner Boner. Boner Boning of Boner. Boner Boner. Erect Penis."}}
** And in his review of All-American Comics #16:
{{quote| '''[[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Alan Scott]]:''' What a queer light!<br />
'''Linkara:''' ''(beat)'' What, it was the 1940s! }}
* [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]]: Lewis's profile picture for Blogspot and Twitter.
Line 125:
** Towards the end of the fifth part of the ''Silent Hill: Dead/Alive'' review {{spoiler|Linkara is led to believe that he sacrificed a little girl to an evil cult. His reaction is to have a stunned [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment, before he attempts to ''shoot himself''.}}
** In his Brain Drain Review, Linkara sees [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|The Thing]] actually considering his grotesque transformation to be a good thing, but he nearly lets this slide, despite his fury that the author had obviously never read a Fantastic Four comic, because the comic is pretty much an advertisement for office max. Then the (literal) BSOD comes on when he sees the writer was Tom Defalco, Former EDITOR-IN-CHIEF at Marvel.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Aside from his being a good singer, who'd have guessed Linkara's a fan of ''[[Camelot (Theatretheatre)|Camelot]]''?
{{quote| '''Linkara:''' [[Waxing Lyrical|Into the woods and down the dell; the path is straight, I know it well.]] [''[[Beat]]''] [[Into the Woods|Second-favorite musical.]]}}
 
Line 134:
** He also pokes fun at all the [[Ho Yay]] in ''[[Superman At Earths End]]'': "For the love of Heidegger, why didn't you marry Bruce instead of Lois?", "Finally Bruce! We can get married like we always wanted to!" "The first priority is Bruce Wayne's desiccated, decaying corpse!"
** Also in the Batman/Spawn crossover "for god's sake just kiss him already!"
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Played for laughs in ''Linking Up with Linkara'' when [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[Marz Gurl (Web Video)|Marz Gurl]] declare they are going lesbian and he asks if he can watch. NChick tells him "No that's exploitation, you're a feminist that's bad."
** At the end of ''Silent Hill: The Grinning Man'' {{spoiler|Whately is killed by the same Magic Gun/Girl his cult created by sacrificing the girl in the first place}}.
* [[Homage]]: In his commentary on ''Adamantium Rage'', Linkara explicitly states that the whole thing was a homage to [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]], pointing out all of the intentional parallels with Spoony's review style of the time, and noting that the format of the review was devised so that Linkara could work with him without piling on more work for the exhausted Spoony (who was burnt out from working on several other projects shortly beforehand).
Line 150:
** Linkara compares the lazy writing of ''Sonic Live'' to that of him suddenly having access to the technology of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' without any kind of explanation for how he did. To add to the awkwardness, he was actually holding a Power morpher and a phaser while arguing that.
** He complains about the "Greatest Responsibility" storyline branching through three Spider-Man titles which made it hard for fans to follow, then remembers his own shared storylines with [[The Spoony Experiment]].
** Upon seeing that Dave Willis of ''[[Shortpacked (Webcomic)|Shortpacked]]'' donated some Dreamwave ''[[Transformers]]'', he quips "[[Transformers: theThe Movie|I thought you were made of sterner stuff. Why throw away these comics so recklessly?]]" [[Gilligan Cut|Cut to ten minutes later]], when he does just that.
** In his review of the [[Lady Gaga (Music)|Lady Gaga]] comic ''Fame'', he complains about the protagonist.
{{quote| '''Linkara:''' Why would anyone find this entertaining? Just watching some overweight jerk with a hat sitting on a green sofa, making rude comments about other people's work and I think I'll shut up now.}}
** How about Mighty & Morphing Power Rangers?
Line 157:
* [[I'm Not Doing That Again]]: Linkara after attempting to sing ''Holding Out For A Hero''.
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Lewis Lovhaug has at least three known internet handles:
** [[Captain Obvious|Linkara]]. Also the name of his [[Alter Ego Acting|avatar character]]. Used on [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]], his personal blog, and such forums as Toonzone and Rangerboard.
** 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 (Website)|The Agony Booth]], where he once submitted a guest article.
*** [[Bilingual Bonus|Reuisu is "Lewis" in Japanese.]]
** PsyWeedle. His oldest known nickname, which he used as a [[Fan Fiction]] writer on [http://www.fanfiction.net/~psyweedle FanFiction.Net]. Revealed in [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/the-sage/fanfic-theatre/6860-ep5webdimen an episode] of Masterpiece Fanfic Theatre, though the [[Old Shame|particular story]] that Bennett the Sage reviewed has been removed from his account.
* [[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]]:
** By the end of ''[[JLA: Act of God (Comic Book)|JLA Act of God]]''.
{{quote| [[Barenaked Ladies (Music)|"Oh, alcohol, I still drink to your health!"]]}}
** By the end of ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'':
{{quote| [[Here We Go Again|"Back to the bottle!"]]}}
Line 187:
** The plot of ''[[Godyssey]]'' is so in contrast to Jesus' actual life and teachings that Linkara suggests the Greek gods found the wrong crucifixion victim, naming him Jesús <ref> pronounced closer to 'Hay-sus'</ref>, the Christian martial artist. {{spoiler|He was [[All Just a Dream]] anyway}}. 
** The [["Previously On..."]] segments are all very much this--it is mercilessly [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: Makes a reference to the [[Trope Namers]] while talking about [[The Question]] in his ''[[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' review.
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: He manages to light ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again'' on fire by ''punching it while wearing the [[Power Rangers in Space|Battilizer]]''.
** He also burns ''[[Superman At Earths End]]'' after giving a rant on why Superman is awesome.
Line 195:
* [[Informed Wrongness]]: Invoked by Linkara in-universe. Big Barda's [[Internal Monologue]] in ''[[Action Comics]]'' #592 describes the back alley she stumbles into as being worse than Apokolips, but Linkara comments that this is a [[Blatant Lies|patently false statement]], since this alley, though unpleasant, is a [[Sugar Bowl]] compared to Apokolips, which is a close approximation to ''hell''.
* [[Inherently Funny Words]]: In the episode "15 Comics I Won't Review", Linkara refuses to review a highly-requested issue of ''Batman'' because it's the "Joker's Boner" issue and he knows everyone just wants to make him say "boner" repeatedly throughout a review. So, to get it out of everyone's system, he says "boner" repeatedly for the next two minutes.
* [[Insult to Rocks]]: In his crossover review of ''[[Spider -Man]]: One Moment In Time'' with [[The Last Angry Geek]], he [[One More Day|once again]] loudly declares that [[Joe Quesada]] is a Hack, and that calling him that is doing a favor to the other hacks out there by [[Inverted Trope|making them look better in comparison.]]
* [[Insulted Awake]]: Backfires when he snaps out a possessed Spoony with the line "You're standing in my spot, sir." from ''[[SWAT 4]]''. Spoony woke up, but punched Linkara, shouting "I'm not ''in your fucking way''!".
* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Parodied in-universe in his Holiday Shopping Guide video; as he is telling the audience "do your own research to find comics you like rather than bugging me all the time for suggestions" he looks over to a Fan Base meter slowly lowering and quickly changes his tune. When he lets Pollo do a review, after the Mechakara arc, Pollo goes on an anti-[[Garth Ennis]] rant as Linkara quietly weeps at how much this must be pissing off so many of his fans.
Line 201:
* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]: Comments on it at least three times in the review of [http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2012/03/invincible-four-of-kung-fu-ninja-1.html "The Invincible Four of Kung Fu & Ninja #1"].
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|The Entity}} [http://atopfourthwall.blogspot.com/2012/03/commentary-and-behind-scenes.html according to] [[Word of God|Linkara]] (although he has a possible sequel in mind, if it ever happens).
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: This what Linkara does to his reviled copy of ''Superman: At Earth's End'' at the end of his review and to his copy of [[The Dark Knight Strikes Again]] at the end of Part 3.
** He later admitted in the ''Kamandi at Earth's End'' review that he didn't really burn the Superman comic; he didn't have a print copy when filming, burned another comic with a copy of the cover and later just tore up the Superman comic upon receiving it. He did finally burn a copy of the Superman comic in the Kamandi review (though not without difficulty due to the paper quality). 
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: At the start of his ''Doctor Who Classics #7'', Linkara asks Liz if she's ever thought about how weird their lives are, considering they review comic books & table top games respectively, yet they have access to tech from ''[[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Star Trek]]'' and are about to go into battle against a being who has conquered universes; Liz doesn't see it.
Line 214:
** Linkara himself does not try for a convincing female voice since he is just reading dialog out loud.
** Due to her larynx condition, Iron Liz does fine male voices... and then does a Linkara-esque falsetto for female voices anyway.
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: In the intro to the ''S.C.I.-Spy'' #1 review the theme to [[James Bond]] plays as Linkara does spy-stuff while attempting to open a violin case with the comic. Suddenly, the music changes to that of ''[[CharliesCharlie's Angels]]'' and Linkara imitates the intro to that show, before turning his MP3 player off.
* [[Lego Genetics]]: Linkara points out that Superman does not have "superpowers;" his abilities are perfectly natural for a Kryptonian and no more "super" than any normal human ability. To remove his powers in ''Act of God'' he would have to be completely altered genetically, more likely killing him then removing his powers. Linkara even says genetics are not Lego bricks.
* [[Leitmotif]]:
** '90s Kid's rants are always backed up by [[Nirvana (Music)|Nirvana]]'s ''Smells Like Teen Spirit'', though he sometimes uses "Smells Like Nirvana" by [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]] in its place. "Finger of Fear" for Dr. Insano (and Dr. Linksano). "Graveyard" for Mechakara.
** If you hear "Combine Harvester" by the Wurzels playing, that means Linkara [[Go Mad From the Revelation|has just]] [[Sanity Slippage Song|lost it]].
** If [[Captain America]] 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.
* [[Lethal Joke Character]]/[[Not So Harmless]]:
Line 225:
** Dr. Insano. Make him cut his hair, and he turns into a destroyer of evil robots from an [[Alternate Universe]].
* [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Lampshaded in the 100th episode.
* [[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 ZEOZeo]] 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.
* [[Literal Minded]]: In ''Amazing Spider-Man: Skating on Thin Ice #1'', Linkara has a literal interpretation of the phrase "alcohol abuse" in which he verbally and emotionally abuses a bottle of alcohol.
Line 231:
* [[Logic Bomb]]: Frequently pointed out, with something along the lines of, "Yeah, ''[insert logical inconsistency here]''! ...wait, what?"
* [[Losing Horns]]: Used when talking about Cheshire's relationship in ''Rise of Arsenal 3-4''.
* [[Lost Aesop]]: One of Linkara's primary criticisms of ''[[JLA: Act of God (Comic Book)|JLA Act of God]]'' was its inability to hold on to a single message. At some points the comic seemed to be anti-vigilante, critiquing superheroes for their "[[You Keep Using That Word|arrogance]]," but at other points in the stories it seems to imply that it is the responsibility of any socially conscious individual to take matters into their own hands. Sometimes it explains the importance of working within the system and at other times people who do so are only too scared to break out of it. At no point does it give a consistent, clear message to its readers.
* [[Madness Mantra]]: "ANTI-LIFE JUSTIFIES MY HATE!"
* [[Malevolent Architecture]]: Noted numerous times throughout his [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Star Trek Elite Force|Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]
{{quote| Whoa, apparently the Borg don't have [[No OSHA Compliance|OSHA]], because this thing just tried to kill me!}}
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Has a surprisingly broad vocal range when voicing all the different characters in the comics he reads out, especially the falsetto ones for the women. Also has a few distinctive ones pulled out for humor value (for example, a [[Sean Connery]] impression for [[Actor Allusion|anyone]] [[James Bond|connected with espionage]], and his Superboy-Prime voice for any similarly whiny character).
** In his ''[[Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine)|Doctor Who Classics]]'' #7 review, you can hear his broad vocal range between Linkara, the lounge singer, the [[Totally Radical]] surfer, the gruff [[Star Trek Elite Force|Starfleet Lieutenant]] and the mad scientist. 
* [[Massively Multiplayer Crossover]]: The hundredth episode features dozens of the other contributors to [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] singing/saying lines from the theme song.
* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: During the "His Blue Soul" storyline (specifically the Top 15 Personal Favorite jokes and all the cameos filmed during that timeframe), {{spoiler|Tom Servo can be seen looking at Linkara because Pollo is trying to get his attention but still hasn't gotten his speech systems working yet.}} This one was subtle enough that Lewis had to point it out in the comments for the ''Youngblood'' #4/''Search for Spock'' double feature.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
Line 248:
'''Linkara:''' Ahh, touché. }}
* [[Memetic Badass]]: In-universe, Captain America
** [[Team America: World Police|AMERICA!, '''FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''']]
* [[Mind Screw]]: The conclusion of the [[Silent Hill]] Dead/Alive review, somewhat appropriately. In his review of [[Batman|Detective Comics #27]], Linkara notes that he does not have to do his introduction every time because he could simply edit in a previous instance and we would ''never'' know. He then grins and remarks "how's that for a mind screw?"
* [[Missing the Good Stuff]]: In "Linking Up with Linkara" he wakes up to find he has just had an incredible threesome with [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[Marz Gurl (Web Video)|Marz Gurl]], but cannot remember anything about it. They also declare that they will not do it again as nothing could possibly measure up to the first time, plus he cannot just watch the two of them because of his own loud and proud feminist views. {{spoiler|It is all a prank, but he is left to stew about it for a week.}}
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: In his "Athena #1" review Linkara officially announces that he is straight, to counter accusations that he dislikes women being objectified in comic books because he is gay (rather than feminist disagreement with the concept of boob windows and constant ass shots).
* [[Milestone Celebration]]: Every February 15th, Linkara reviews a ''[[Youngblood]]'' comic because his very first text review of a comic was of a ''Youngblood'' issue on that date.
Line 258:
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: In-universe, even '90s Kid could not get behind ''Countdown'' after Superboy-Prime killed the pregnant Lana Lang from an alternate Earth.
* [[More Dakka]]: He goes from laser-shooting Flintlock to a BFG he got off Cable to an arm mounted minigun.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: [[Todd in The Shadows (Web Video)|Todd in Thethe Shadows]] and [[The Rap Critic]] are brought in for context on [[KISS (Music)|KISS]] and [[Eminem (Music)|Eminem]], respectively.
* [[Multiple Choice Past]]: Linkara has come up with multiple explanations for why a character's forehead was emitting pink bubbles in one comic.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Parodied in the "Alternate Endings" follow-up to his ''[[Silent Hill]]: Dying Inside'' review - the alternate endings include being trapped in a room a la ''Silent Hill: The Room'', being trapped in ''Phantasmagoria 2'' in a [[Shout-Out]] to Spoony, and Harvey Finevoice turning out to be an alien who takes him to a planet which has ''good'' comics. Parodied again in a similar followup to his ''[[Silent Hill]]: Dead / Alive'' vid.
Line 268:
{{quote| [[Spoof Aesop|"Remember, kids, if your name sounds like anything, you will become a supervillain."]]}}
* [[Narm]]: [[In-Universe|Invoked]] at the beginning of the ''Rise of Arsenal'' review. He just breaks down in laughter after reading the comic.
* [[Narm Charm]]: [[In-Universe|His opinion on the]] ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers ZEOZeo]]'' comics. He admits they're pretty silly and cheesy and he ''loves'' them.
** Linkara seems to enjoy [[The Silver Age of Comic Books]], or at least elements of its style, for exactly this reason. Very obvious when [[Crazy Awesome]] content or (on the flip side) pointless gore pop up.
* [[Never Bareheaded]]: In his reviews, he always wears his hat.
Line 282:
* [[No Peripheral Vision]]: As pointed out in his [[Let's Play]] of ''[[Star Trek Elite Force|Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]'' when Ensign Munro effectively runs straight past a guard,
{{quote| ''Peripheral vision? What's that?''}}
* [[No Such Thing Asas Bad Publicity]]: In-Universe: [http://twitter.com/Linkara19/status/13149039277121536 Lewis believes] that this it the reason ''Sci-Spy'' has gotten a reprint and US-1 has made [[Self-Deprecation|Self Deprecating]] cameos.
* [[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''."}}
Line 291:
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: BEAR!
* [[Oh Crap]]: Happens to him a few times while interviewing Kristanna Loken after she catches on that he does not think too highly of the movies they are discussing. The video is narrated/commented on by Spoony, who explains that you can actually ''see'' the moment when Linkara realizes the situation.
* [[Oh, Wait!]]: Not only used, but pretty much a staple of his humor.
* [[Old Shame]]: In his preamble for ''Black Web #1'', Linkara actually makes references to his past works like Lightbringer, his self-published novel series, and a message-board based Pokémon RPG.
** He says the latter of these may or may not have been converted to a site for porn in his absence.
Line 301:
** Linkara points out that Goldfinger's accent in ''James Bond Jr.'' keeps slipping, but into what, we could not say.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: ADAMANTIUM RAGE! ADAMANTIUM RAGE! ADAMANTIUM RAGE!
* [[Pandering to Thethe Base]]: Invoked in-universe twice. Two of the ''15 Comics I'll Never Review'' kept getting requests because of certain lines and words the fans wanted to hear him say. In response, he recites these bits out of context during their respective comics' segments.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Whatever you do, [http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/5716/llspapawolfmoment.jpg do NOT troll MarzGurl on Twitter if you have an IQ less than 100]. Linkara has always been one of [[Marz Gurl (Web Video)|Marz Gurl]]'s staunchest supporters, often defending her in the face of the [[Hatedom|deluge of criticism]] she received while she was still trying to [[Retool|find her voice]], and even doing a joint review of ''[[Cool World]]'' with her during the Brawl. In fact, whenever anyone has anything mean to say about ''anyone'' on TGWTG, Linkara will be among the first to defend them.
** Also you can insult him and Liz all you want but you do NOT insult his fans.
** Liz is now off limits too. When she announced their breakup, he followed by preemptively threatening anyone who would dare lash out at her.
Line 308:
* [[Pass the Popcorn]]: During ''[[Silent Hill]]: Dead/Alive'', it looks like Christabella is finally going to get her comeuppance. Linkara's reaction? "Ooh, hang on a second! Let me get some popcorn!" The comic does not give him a proper chance.
* [[Perfectly Cromulent Word]]: Idiostuperiffic.
* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: "[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Harley]] [[Countdown to Final Crisis|Quiiinn...]]"
* [[Pet Peeve Trope]]: [[In-Universe|Linkara]] has several that tick him off.
** [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: Frequently becomes [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]] in the universe of the show (if not the comic he's reviewing).
** [[Gorn]]
** [[Idiot Plot]]
** [[Monster Clown]] (at least when overused)
** [[Sex Sells]]
** [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]
** [[War On Straw]]: The [[Straw Feminist]] archetype [[Berserk Button|moreso than others.]]
** [[Would Hit a Girl]]
Line 321:
{{quote| *[[Head Desk]]* I live with her, people...}}
* [[Plot Hole]]: Will of course jump on them.
** Linkara sees that the villains in the ''[[James Bond Jr (Animation).|James Bond Jr]].'' #3 comic are [[Goldfinger (Film)|Goldfinger]] and Oddjob, despite the fact that they are both dead.
* [[Pluto Is Expendable]]: In the second part of the ''Countdown'' review, Chester A Bum makes good on his threat to destroy it. The Nostalgia Critic was unimpressed. After all, it had stopped all the [[Classic Disney Shorts]] jokes. He had more of a reaction from seeing Hollywood, Rome, and France destroyed instead.
* [[Power of Love]] - Points out in [[Care Bears]] #13 that they are literally attacking people with the power of love...
Line 337:
** In response to the Kool-Aid Man bursting through a funhouse wall.
{{quote| "THAT! MAKES! NO! SENSE!"}}
** "[[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|It's supposed! To be! AMBIGUOUS!]]"
* [[Punctuated Pounding]]: Delivered to Pyramid Head during the finale of ''Silent Hill: Dying Inside'' #5.
{{quote| '''Linkara:''' WORD! TO! THE! WISE! WEARING! A! HUGE! FREAKING! METAL! CHAMBER! ON! YOUR! HEAD! IS! NOT! VERY! SMART!}}
