A tale about dreams of glory. A story of conquest, victory and defeat. A classic fable of one man's quest for power, forever shadowed by the cloud of insanity...

== A-H ==

* [[0% Approval Rating]]: The Critic by part 4. {{spoiler|Or rather one percent, as Film Brain is still loyal to him.}} By the end of part 5. {{spoiler|Film Brain went to the other side to avenge Santa Christ's murder by N. Bison.}}

** During the invasion in Part 2, {{spoiler|Chester A. Bum appeared at one point and immediately ran away when a mine exploded next to him.}}

** In Part 4, {{spoiler|Ma-Ti (or at least the spiritual image of him), along with the Critic's review room, shows up to warn the Critic to stop being such a douchebag.}}

** In Part 6, {{spoiler|Ask That Guy shows up, and lampshades this by stating that he's just there for his cameo}}.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Spoony's new one seems to be "...but that was in the past".

** [[Street Fighter (film)|"This is just superconductor electromagnetism. Certainly you've heard of it. It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It will levitate my rocket chair, once it finally arrives.]] [[Special Effects Failure|And it also levitates... me!"]]

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Some fans take the special too seriously, when it's actually a [[Parody|Parodic]] [[Dramedy]] that was shot in four days under harsh desert conditions with a cast of mostly untrained actors.

** Doug learned his lesson from this, and the next year's special ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' is far less dependent on knowing everyone's schtick.

* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: The threat that finally makes Baugh retreat is, "Don't make us review you."

* [[Hilarity Ensues]]: '''Every. Single. Minute.'''

* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Oh yes! Also linked on TGWTG website.

* [[Hulking Out]]: Don't make Lee angry. You wouldn't like him when he's three-dimensional and KICKING YOUR ASS.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: "Why a democracy?" "Because I say so."

* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: Played straight and subverted as some members of the Critic army didn't really do anything other than change poses.

** Well, Handsome Tom changed his shirt, Benzaie pulled down his sleeves, and the Snob took off his glasses....and then put them ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|back on]]''.

* [[Magic Versus Science]]:

{{quote|Insano: "Your superconductor electromagnetism is ''nothing compared to science''!"

* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|Pay Crazy Unto Crazy]]: The rationale behind {{spoiler|turning Dr. Insano loose on the Critic}}.

* [[The Plan]]: {{spoiler|Kevin Baugh possibly planned one as he indirectly dismantled Kickassia's government from the inside out.}}

* [[Power Floats]]: Subverted in the fight between Dr. Insano and N. Bison. They set it up like N. Bison's levitating, but he's really just walking on his tippy toes.

* [[Power Walk]]: Which becomes a Power ''Charge'' in the first invasion attempt by the Critic army.

** Brad Jones (a.k.a. The Cinema Snob) was also one of the more subdued actors in the film. In fact, much of the humor related to his character involved his lack of hamminess in contrast to everyone else in the movie.

*** The Chick gets a chance to ham it up when {{spoiler|we see her as vice-president and she is in full [[Sarah Palin]] impersonation.}}

* [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are]]: In the midst of his [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech, Ma-Ti tries to get Critic to remember that he's strong-willed and loyal to the people he actually cares about. Critic's consumed by power at this point, though, so it doesn't work.

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: What [[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|Link's]] head does before he [[Killed Mid-Sentence|finishes his catch phrase]] while Little Miss Gamer was explaining why she can't help with the invasion.

* [[Zig-Zagging Trope]]: Both [[Godwin's Law]] and [[Hitler Ate Sugar]] are played straight and inverted ''in the same sentence''.

** Also [[Narm]] in the Critic and Spoony's talk about Insano. The scene is simultaneously [[Played for Laughs|played for unironic laughs]], [[Played for Drama]] and meant to be funny due to [[Narm Charm|how badly the two are overacting]].
