Familiar Faces/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The opening to Familiar Faces: Episode 010.
  • In his Katie Kaboom review, CR explains how much Animaniacs impacted his sense of humour, and even shows the exact moment the series made him discover comedy. Suddenly the screen starts flashing with the image of famous comedians, godly music plays and...

That's how I became just a voice.

  • Episode 21. Particularly the Forrest Gump joke. "Glad other movies don't drop the payload like that!"
  • Irish RoboCop. That is all..
  • From Episode 25: "But you know what's even better than a good opening? A witty ending." * awkward pause* "Okay, bye." * cut to credits*
  • No mention of his commentary during the "Cartoon Network Groovies" homage?
    • "Ladies and gentlemen, the death of swing."
    • "[The mummy] must be a super Muslim!"
  • From Episode 27 (Connie Benge):
    • "Remember kids, school is important, so stay in school! Otherwise you won't be able to point out the BULLSHIT in these second rate morality plays!"
  • Episode 28: ThatToadWithTheEyes.com
  • Episode 29: The 'Jaws theme replaced by Super Mario Bros 3 World 3 music.
  • Fungus Among Us: "Gravity; my one dreaded weakness. So much so that I avoid it whenever I can."
  • THE WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE!

Batman: "Channel Awesome isn't interested in your review series Robin."
Robin: "They're just jealous."

CR: "... Which just proves that reality TV is the work of the devil."
Demon: "OF COURSE!"

  • CR has a tendency to overuse the M. Bison "OF COURSE" gag, in a way that somehow manages to keep it hilarious. Best example, following after his Animated Arnold Clones Episode.

M. Bison: "OF COU-"
Is frozen into a block of ice
Mr. Freeze: "I hate when people talk during the movie."
Later
M. Bison: I WAS FROZEN TODAY!

  • CR takes a stab at riffing old educational shorts. One of them, "The Cautious Twins" features rhyming narration and two little ragamuffins who apparently live in a town where every other adult is trying to kidnap, kill, and/or molest them. CR mocks the Everything Trying to Kill You aspect of the short mercilessly, eventually leading to this quip near the end:

Narrator: And since they learned so very well
These lessons, every one
Here they are, all safe and sound...
CR: Except for sister Joan
She thought she could go to the mailbox alone
And now her lips are sewn
To the butthole of an Asian

"Then again, what happens to the pony who finds out their special talent is sacrificing other ponies? Then, of course, Irony Appreciation Pony's the next to die."

CR: Eugh, that was gross...do it again!

    • "By the way, none of the villains were ever turned into toys. Because, you know, little girls don't like conflict." Cut to home-video footage of an adorable little girl (a relative of CR's?) pretendng CR's a pirate that she has to beat up by slapping him around.

Little girl: Stupid pirate! You'll be dead!

    • Teddy: (to Lancer, a blue male pony) You know what your problem is? You're always siding with the girls.

CR: Well of course he does! He's got blue balls!

Renzetti: Are you sure this will work?
Faust: Hahaha! I have no idea!

    • The ending clip.

G1 Ponies: Come on everypony, let's frolic!
Applejack: Get a job, you hippies!

    • Also, dubbing crazy!Rarity with the Crazy Cat Lady voice.
    • What happens when the ponies find out Lauren Faust left the show? Panic ensues.
  • From the video on Samhain.
    • After Samhain explains his plan to make Halloween night last forever

"So then the Ghostbusters had to travel into the Everfree Forest to find the Elements of Harmony and... Alright alright, Ponies & Ghostbusters don't mix." (CUT TO A PICTURE OF RAINBOW DASH & PINKIE PIE AS GHOSTBUSTERS) "Hee-hee, Pinkie's got the goggles."

    • His apathetic behavior to doing an ending sketch.
    • The perfect "WTF face"
  • From the video of the Ben 10: Alien Force cardgame

CR: Gwen Tennyson doesn't know what a sigh is... You know who would know what a sigh is? Gwen Tennyson!!

CR!Tony Stark: I think we got a pretty good team together.

CR!Nick Fury: What about Ant-Man?

CR!Tony Stark: Ant-Man? The wife beater?! No, fuck that guy.

    • That "joke" has been already been played out.
  • Near the end of his review of Swarm of the Century, we get Fake Cadance as Zim
  • The entirety of his Cheap Damage episode on Gormiti. Specifically:
    • After he explained the VERY brief rules, he sits there in silence then it cuts to him burning the figures.
    • He points out how companies take kids for idiots these days and in his generation they wouldn't attempt something this stupid. Cue him viewing a commercial for Battle Beasts, a collectable set of Rock Paper Scissors action figures.
      • His shocked reaction that there were 84 Battle Beasts to collect.
    • To expand. Even with the worst games he has review, he always point out at least one good thing about it, and even gives some ideas how to make the game more interesting. But after learning just how lame the game was, he just decided it didn't deserve it at all.
