Line 21:
** After finding that every aspect relating to prostitution is sourced by one book, Sartin looks into it and discovers that said book only covers prostitution in Southern France of the 1400s. He promptly calls out the game for extrapolating the culture of one time and place into an entire world.
''{{quote|'''Sartin:''' Yes, people, this is what passes for "research" and "historical accuracy" in '''FATAL'''.}}''
*:* Sadly, Sartin also falls to this trope once in the review, when he claims that it's impossible for a non-erect nipple to have no length whatsoever. In fact, there's a minor medical condition in which a person's nipples, while not erect, retract into the body. Still, you can't fault him for not wanting to examine every aspect of this "game" too closely.
* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: Sartin helpfully informs the audience that they are professionals, and that you should not try projectile-vomiting blood at home.
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: McLennan finds that "retard strength" is a thing in this game; one formula calculates the odds of getting a burst of strength, and the odds are inversely proportional to Intelligence.

* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]:
{{quote|'''McLennan:''' ''[A]nd, for an extra kicker, the authors got the difference between a '''brazier''' and a '''brassiere''' confused, so that we have braziers of flattening, droopiness, staring and so forth. Idiots.''}}
* [[Running Gag]]: [[Subverted]]. A running gag is set up with these lines...
{{quote|''By the way, did I mention that this book is 900 pages long?''<br/>
'''Cause I'm going to be bringing it up as this review progresses.''<br/>
''A lot.''}}
:* ...but the book's length is only vaguely alluded to from that point on.
* [[So Bad It's Horrible]]: The agreed upon consensus.
* [[Suckiness Is Painful]]: As the reviewers demonstrate throughout.
