Line 16:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: When he hangs around [[Ask That Guy With the Glasses|Ask ThatGuy]]. [[Nightmare Fuel|GOODNESS.]]
* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: He says that the entirety of ''Doomed Megalopolis'' is this, since while the scenes leave an impact on the viewer they're perfunctory to the plot.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: When reading ''[[My Immortal (Fanfic)|My Immortal]]'', the caption states that he couldn't decide whether to voice a secondary character as gay or annoying, so he made the character sound annoyingly gay.
* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: He's particularly incensed by this subplot in ''Doomed Megalopolis'', though his objection has less to do with it being incest and more with it being ''rape''.
* [[The Casanova]] / [[Casanova Wannabe]]: In the ''[[Golden Boy]]'' review, complete with bathrobe.
Line 31:
** This is the reason he gives for [[Boy Band|B4-4's]] video, "Get Down," being part of his Top 10 [[Surreal Music Video]] list.
* [[Game of Nerds]]: Bennett outed himself as a baseball fan during the ''[[Mezzo Forte]]'' review.
* [[Girl
* [[Gratuitous Rape]]: He's brought up several times in Anime Abandon that he hates it when shows use this trope just for shock value, and takes special issue with the incestuous rape subplot in ''Doomed Megalopolis'', and seriously considers ending the review right then because he'll just continue to be pissed off about it for the rest of the review. Rather ironic considering how he acts [[The Sociopath|in character]]. He even lampshades it:
{{quote| I know [[Hypocrisy Nod|who I am]] when I'm saying this, but rape is possibly ''[[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|the worst thing]]'' one can do to another. Such an act, if included in a narrative, ''will bring it to a [[Wham! Episode|grinding halt]]''. You have to respect your audience and address the issue directly. You do not diminish this violent act by making it the sidestory.}}
* [[He Panned It, Now He Sucks]]: An [[Invoked Trope]], since Bennett's made a habit of anticipating this reaction whenever he reviews something that he knows is popular.
** At the start of the ''Akira'' review he spends a long time talking about how influential the film was before he starts laying out its flaws.
Line 39:
** At the start of his ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]'' review, he makes it clear he's fully expecting this when he says he doesn't like it.
* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: One episode of "Masterpiece Fanfic Theater", ''Bennett vs KFC''.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: He [[Invoked Trope|points out]] that the voice of Mikura in ''[[Mezzo Forte]]'' is the same as Rika from ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' and Edward from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', and proceeds to refer to Mikura as "Edward" for the rest of the review.
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: He keeps a bottle of scotch on hand during the ''Doomed Megalopolis'' review, and runs out near the end.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: He's incensed by the fact that the rapist brother in ''Doomed Megalopolis'' gets off with only a few punches to the jaw.
