Atop the Fourth Wall/Tropes Q To Z: Difference between revisions

* [[Shoe Phone]]: Linkara parodies ''U.S. 1's'' silver dollar remote control by mentioning he will show us how to stick a TV remote inside of a quarter and a gun inside of a nickel. The ''[[James Bond Jr.|James Bond Jr]].'' review had some gadgets that stretched one's [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]], the most important of which was the gold detector, of which there are real-life variants, but nowhere near the fictional depiction.

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Atop the Fourth Wall/Shout Out|Has its own page.]]

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]:

{{quote|'''Linkara:''' When debating, solve your disagreements not with words, but by screaming ''''I AM A MAN!!!'''' and punching them in the guts. Allow me to demonstrate... '''''[[Memetic Mutation|I AM A MAN!!!!]]''''' [[Memetic Mutation|*punch*]]}}

** "New Genesis is idyllic, peaceful, and good. Apokolips is basically [[New Jersey]]." (He did add a "Just kidding, New Jersey" caption afterward, but at least one NJ resident commented that the zinger was perfectly acceptable.)

** The third part of his {{spoiler|April Fools'}} triple feature, where Linkara did a rather thorough parody of [[The Irate Gamer]] that basically summed up every single complaint that's been made about the IG.

** From the ''Silent Hill: Dying Inside'' review: "What has two heads, one mouth and no brains?" "Ooh! [[Michael Moore]]!"

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Mocked in ''Sonic: Live''. When Robotnik has [[The Load|a couple kids held hostage]], Sonic responds that [[Super Speed|he's fast enough]] to rescue the kids before Robotnik's Swatbots can fire, and Robotnik counters by [[Card-Carrying Villain|gloating about how evil he is.]] Linkara shows us how the exchange ''should've'' gone after that:

* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: He throws around a lot of Troper terms in his reviews.

* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Quite literally at the start of "Law and Order #1"

** However, by picking Sonic Live! as his target, he did the only thing that ''could'' please them: Tear apart one of the few things in the franchise that gets universal hatred.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: [[Todd in the Shadows]] makes an appearance in the [["Previously On..."]] in the [[Action Comics]] #593 review. He wants to kill Linkara since he has seen his face, and just as he flips up his hoodie the scene cuts to That Jewish Guy.

** Ensign Munrooooe!!!

* [[Video Review Show]]

* [[Villain Sue]]: Calls Prometheus this during ''[[Cry for Justice]]'', pointing that that he has a ridiculous amount of counters to every super hero he comes across, like a magic bullet for Supergirl, his bombs have the absurd ability to counter the powers of any superhero from the respective cities, even the Shade, despite Prometheus supposedly not knowing who he is because he didn't keep a database on villains/antiheroes (which Linkara points he would if he was [[Informed Ability|as much of a genius as the comic makes him out to be]]), and easily taking the Shade down after earlier comics had raised him to "Mega badass status." As he puts it, Prometheus was made too powerful for there to be any believable way for him to be defeated, and this turns out to be true as he's defeated by Green Arrow breaking into his hideout and shooting him the head. 

* [[Vocal Evolution]]: His voice was a lot calmer in earlier episodes. The difference is notable even when looking at his first two episodes; in his review of Adjectiveless ''Spider-Man'' #56, he almost sounds like he is whispering so as to not disturb the neighbours. Compare that to his reaction to the letters column of ''Doom's IV'' #2 just eight days later.

* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: Outside of the Brawl and even his [["Previously On..."]] segments, Linkara has cameoed with the Nostalgia Critic, the Spoony One, Benzaie, Bennett the Sage, MarzGurl, Lee and so on. [[The Nostalgia Critic]] appears to be making a [[Running Gag]] out of reacting negatively to his appearances. Played with and lampshaded in the ''Sultry Teenage Super-Foxes'' #2 review with the appearance of {{spoiler|Mechakara}}, despite said character having been defeated more than a month ago.

{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Mechakara}}:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|I was a popular character and villain. Seeing me again should drive up the viewers]].}}

** Lampshaded when he cameos for [[The Bunny Perspective|Phil Bunni]].
