* [[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.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[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 ''[[SaloSalò, Oror Thethe 120 Days Ofof Sodom|Salo]]'' and has referenced it several times since. There's even a post which is just him flipping the bird to the cover.
** ''[[A Serbian Film]]'' also took its toll on him, to the point where he rescinded his previous "100% Anti-Censorship" stance.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]].
