* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: He's usually pretty fair, but when something pisses him off, he's quick to emphasise how and why it does.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: [[In-Universe|Reimagined]] an [[Angry Birds]] scenario from the pig's perspective.
* [[Ambiguously Gay|Ambiguously Bi]]: The article mentioned below lists both male and female singers he seems to find seductive. There's also [http://daveandhiscriticisms.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/233/ this article] which seems pretty personal.
* [[Audio Erotica]]: Wrote an [[In-Universe|article]] listing his Top 10 Sexual Songs:

* [[Awful Truth]]: "Oh, and for added fun, Stanley is Damien from [[Mean Girls]]" in his discussion of [[I Spit on Your Grave]].
* [[Bile Fascination]]: [[In-Universe|Assumes]] it to be the sole reason for the existence of [[The Human Centipede]]
* [[Breather Episode]]: Amazingly, he considered [[Martyrs]] one, as it didn't have any rape in it.

* [[Broke the Rating Scale]]: Started his reviews under a blanket statement that he was completely against films being banned in Australia. [[A Serbian Film]] made him rethink this. It seems he's still against censorship, but begrudgingly acknowledges that some films go too far.
* [[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 [https://web.archive.org/web/20130312091517/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.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Had one after watching ''[[
** ''[[A Serbian Film]]'' also took its toll on him, to the point where he rescinded his previous "100% Anti-Censorship" stance.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Vukmir, from his [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9_vaexNpQ8 review] of [[A Serbian Film]].
{{quote|
* [[One of Us]]: ''Definitely'' a troper, and even links to the site from his page.
** Amusingly, he's stopped potholing to the site, which means some of his pages reference Tropes that readers who [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|haven't had their lives ruined]] mightn't understand.
