** He tends to also go off on political/social rants sometimes in his videos. A good example of this is the lengthy tirade about nuclear weapons in the ''Superman IV'' review. Some of it's justified given the movie's [[Clueless Aesop]] but it still comes off as [[Anvilicious]] at certain points. |

* Alpharius from ''[[PRIMARCHS]]'' spends an entire chapter doing this at the end of the 2nd arc. Not only is this lampshaded by the stage directions ('''Alpharius'''...'''Alpharius again'''...'''Alpharius still isn't shutting up''') but the chapter itself is titled "[[Invoked Trope|I Think This Qualifies As An Author Filibuster]]" |
