* [[Berserk Button]]:
** "[["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|Hardcores]]"
{{quote|"You heard me, you half-cocked message board fuckheads, the [[Wii]] ''is'' part of ''this'' console generation ... so can we ''please'' stop it with this tired shit about [[Nintendo GamecubeGameCube|GameCubes]] and duct tape!"}}
** Tyler Perry also counts, as does [[Sam Raimi]]'s departure from the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' films and the series' upcoming reboot.
** He also '''Hates''' the new ''[[Transformers]]'' films, as well as the bulk of [[Michael Bay]]'s output for that matter.
Line 60:
* [[Fast-Forward Gag]]: He sometimes speeds up part of his voice-over in order to make the video fit the standard ~10-minute length while still including all the [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|BIG WORDS]] he wants to use. It is usually accompanied by a graphic of a chipmunk and a cup of coffee.
* [[Franchise Original Sin]]: [[In-Universe]] example; in the ''Intermission'' editorial [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/moviebob/9521-Consequences "Consequences"], he cites four examples of great films that he feels started some of the more annoying and/or problematic trends in various film genres, and in moviemaking as a whole.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: He admitted once that he was bullied in high school, and his comments seem to give away that his resentment from that era is one, if not the main reason behind his criticism to certain things. Like the "douchebag" video game crowd that came with the Play Station generation (especially [[X BoxXbox]] Live FPS users), his hatred towards the 90's (the decade in which he went to high school), and his fondness for [[X-Men|Magneto]]-like villains. He's also specially done a ''Big Picture'' episode about nerd reactions to such actions and the mindset that if one was bullied, they can't in turn be a bully themselves. He admits that he's talking to himself as much as he is to the viewer.
* [[The Great Comics Crash of 1996]]: ''Game Overthinker'' Episode 11, titled "''Can It Happen To Us?''", pointed out similarities between the current game industry and the pre-crash comic book industry.
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Yes. Every female character in every movie gets ranked based on how much she appeals to Bob's carefully explained tastes.
Line 83:
** States this between ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty]]: [[Modern Warfare]] 2''.
** Bob himself when it comes to the dreaded ''hardcore'' gamers he loathes so much.
* [[One of Us]]: Has heard of [[TV Tropes (Wiki)|TV Tropes]], as even references it in his review of ''[[Shrek]] Forever After''.
** From his [[Twitter]]: "[https://twitter.com/#!/the_moviebob/status/167889226552193025 It'd be the HEIGHT of gauche to edit one's own TV Tropes entry, right?]"
* [[Oscar Bait]]: He has accused ''[[The King's Speech]]'' of being this, even going so far as to make his video review of it into a "How To Make Oscar Bait" instruction video.
