{{quote| '''Critic''': Now to be fair, I do think this show was probably intended for younger kids in mind, but that's no excuse. Just because something is intended for younger kids doesn't give you the right not to try. If you're really good at something, you can make anything entertaining and anything plausible, no matter how absurd.}}

* The end of his review for [[The Garbage Pail Kids Movie|''The Garbage Pail Kids'']], where he probably puts more effort into a few minutes long [[2001: A Space Odyssey]] parody (while displaying a [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|pretty awesome opera voice]]) than a group of assumedly professional group of writers for an entire movie.

* His apologies about poking fun at [[Mako]] certainly count in that he STILL manages to pull a [[Take That]] at the audience by blatantly pointing out their own [[Fan Dumb]]. For the record, there's a difference between poking fun at a single character's voice and totally bashing an actor. Critic manages to point out these differences while apologizing to all the Mako fans at the same time, especially since he unintentionally referenced the fact that Mako died of throat cancer when he said that Splinter sounded like he "smoked a million Marlboros".

* In his review of ''Sidekicks'', the Critic proceeds to mercilessly mock Mako's [[Fan Dumb]] by deliberately avoiding making obvious jokes about him and explicitly comparing him to God. The review ends with {{spoiler|Chuck Norris smiting the Critic because Mako hates him.}}

* The Critic singing his own version of [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|"Poor Jack"]] after a hard [[Heroic BSOD]], particularly when he rips off his T-shirt revealing his signature outfit. The camera shots and timing mimic that entire sequence to the split-second!
