{{tropelist|Tropes in Critical Dave's column:}}
=== He provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: He's usually pretty fair, but when something pisses him off, he's quick to emphasise how and why it does.
Line 24:
* [[Caustic Critic]]: Though not as bad as some, he can be pretty negative on some things.
* [[Conversational Troping]]: Does it a lot.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: He even has a page of [http://daveandhiscriticisms.wordpress.com/acknowledgements-or-better-writers-that-i-rip-off/ Acknowledgements, or Better Writers That I Rip Off], and freely admits that he's borrowing from the style of other reviewers, mainly [[Cracked.com]], [[That Guy With The Glasses]] and [[Roger Ebert]], even claiming his Infamovies are basically plagiarising the Cracked style.
** He also felt it prudent to point out that his review of [[Seven Pounds]] was written before he'd seen [[Bad Movie Beatdown|Matthew Buck's]] similarly scathing attack on the film.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: In spades through most reviews.
