* [[Crapsack World]]: The end of the Mesozoic.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: To paraphrase one talking head, using his hands to represent dinosaurs:
{{quote| (in high voice) "Hi, I'm a ''[[Stock Dinosaurs True Dinosaurs|Deinonychus]]''!"<br />
(in low voice) "Hi, I'm a ''[[Prehistoric Life/Sauropods|Sauroposeidon]]''!"<br />
(squishing motion) }}
* [[Documentary of Lies]]: To quote Thomas R. Holtz, Jr., a talking head on the show:
{{quote| "For those going to watch the show, a warning: The documentarians often take anything that any of the talking heads speculated about, and transformed these into declarative statements of fact. In some cases this is particularly egregious, because I strongly disagree with some of these statements and believe the facts are against some of these (say, about tyrannosaurid [[wikipedia:Cranial kinesis|cranial kinesis]]…) and they present these as facts rather than suppositions."}}
* [[Eats Babies]]: ''[[Stock Dinosaurs Non Dinosaurs|Quetzalcoatlus]]'' and ''[[Stock Dinosaurs True Dinosaurs|Deinonychus]]''.
* [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs]]: Goes without saying.
Line 54:
* [[Tyrannosaurus Rex]]
* [[Viewers Are Goldfish]]: To quote the quote-mined paleontologist:
{{quote| "[The program] is incredibly repetitive, to the point that I found it hard to watch for any length of time without my attention wandering. Not just the CGI clips, but the narration as well. You’ll learn in 30 seconds why females tend to be choosier about mates than males (eggs are more expensive than sperm), and spend the next 15 minutes having that slowly beaten in your brain using as much empty verbiage as possible. Ditto every other fact on the show."}}
