* Hoo boy. There's just so much to choose from here. However, the Critic's reaction to the replacement of the Neverending Story music at the movie's end credits has to be one of THE funniest bits he's ever done. Although to be honest, the entire review should be considered the Nostalgia Critic's Crowning Moment of Funny.
** {{spoiler|"I'M FUCKING THE DVD!!!!!"}}
** That bit's actually reminiscent of a similar thing he did to a [[
** His maniacal cackling as he leaves his house, drives his car, goes to Home Depot, gets a crowbar from Home Depot, drives back home is just one big setup of funny. You don't even know what he's going to do, you just know he's going nuts.
** The way he is reduced to primitive violence {{spoiler|and DVD-fucking}} shows just how far he is gone by that point.
* To make it easy on people, I will say...ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE ROCK BITER. Because this page will be as long as the pile of notes he slammed down on the desk about everything wrong with ''The Neverending Story III'' if we did list every single thing wrong with it here.
* When describing "The Nasties".
{{quote|
* Critic pointing out the fact that the bullies are called "The Nasties" and the fact that the ''entire student body'' is running from them in terror.
* The Critic having to repeat "But ''wait!'' There's MORE", each time getting more and more over-the-top with it.
** Culminating in an epic [[Jaw Drop]] and a [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]] when Rock Biter and son go on a motorcycle ride...''while singing "Born To Be Wild"''!
* When criticizing the scene when the Nasties show up: "First, that's [[Jack Black]]." *''slap''* "What?!"
** "Third, that's [[Jack Black]]." *''slap!''* "What?!"
* The transportation effects used to get to Fantasia...and how it would be if it applied to the real world.
{{quote|
* This quote:
{{quote|
* "You fucking fuck '''fucks!'''"
** That whole scene is a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]. He punctuates EVERY noun (and several verbs) in his rant with the word "fucking".
Line 25:
* That intentionally bad intro animation to [[This Is Gonna Suck|"celebrate"]] Sequel Month had me in stitches.
* This particular bit had me laughing my ass off:
{{quote|
'''Critic:''' ''Eww.'' }}
* When the movie ends, a caption is shown saying "THANKS FOR WATCHING! NO REFUNDS!"
Line 35:
* '''''MAAAAAAN!'''''
** And the entire sequence that ensued, introducing the evil poacher in the style of a 50's PSA.
{{quote|
'''Voiceover:''' Man! Worse than the Devil, if he was a pedophile! }}
* The Critic asking the Nostalgia Chick to help him review the sequel. Her incredibly terse response sells it, especially against the Critic's long build-up to asking her.
** The Critic talking about how the Nostalgia Chick [[Blatant Lies|volunteered]] to review the first film with him...whilst showing footage from the first review of her repeatedly smashing his head into a desk.
* '''Critic:''' Come back! He was going to sing a two-minute song about eating you!
{{quote|
* In response to the poacher letting Budgie fall to her doom by disconnecting the cars: "There go half of my animals!" *pauses, then realizes how bad an idea that was*
* '''YOU JUST SAVED US A MOVIE!'''
* The ''[[Dead Baby Comedy|extremely dark]]'' sequence of various whimpering animals in cages [[Mood Whiplash|interspersed]] with Pips and his friends screwing around at the carnival. The [[Lyrical Dissonance|highly inappropriate]] [[Ear Worm]] that plays and the [[Large Ham|Critic dancing along]] only serve to sweeten the pie.
** Immediately followed by this little gem when the "protagonists" finally realize that they're supposed to be doing something and ''doze off''.
{{quote|
'''Dream bubble''': {{color|red| '''GO AFTER THE FUCKING BABIES!'''}}
'''Critic''': [[Comically Missing the Point|Why do I always have that dream??]] }}
* The return of the "The End" title card.
* "Is this what you humans call ADD? I feel like I can't focus and anything...[[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|ooh, a housefly]]."
* Patton's speech.
* The scene demonstrating how the fairies fly. Bonus points for the [[
* The Critic miming what the poacher could have done to get Budgie off his truck.
* The ending:
{{quote|
''DVD of The Secret of Nimh II: Timmy To The Rescue appears''
"'''''*[[Oh Crap|HOOOOOOOO--]]*'''''" ''(cut to credits)'' }}
* The over-the-top reaction of the mother kangaroo.
{{quote|
'''Mother Kangaroo:''' ''(in slow motion)'' MY BAAAABYYYYY!
''([[Playing the Heart Strings|"Adagio for Strings"]] starts playing, while Sgt. Elias's famous pose is superimposed over the kangaroo's similar animation.)'' }}
* This unexpected use of a [[Running Gag]]:

'''Pips:''' A fairy, of course!
'''[[Street Fighter (
* This little gem towards the end of the review:
{{quote|
'''Critic:''' ...Kay, I don't want to know what [[Squick|kind of act]] requires [[Lolicon|her]] to pull [[Dirty Old Man|his]] pants down.<br />
*[[Beat]]*
'''Critic:''' But it's probably called '''''[[The Aristocrats|THE ARISTOCRATS!]]''''' *[[Rimshot]]* }}
== The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue ==
* The Critic's commentary, and performances, on the ''poor writing.'' Mainly, why Timmy is being pressured by the rest of the characters into being like his father because of a claimed prophecy (that the movie fails to explain), when he has shown no evidence that he's a fit for it in the slightest.
{{quote|
*''Jesus stares shocked''*
'''Joseph:''' "Just askin'! Just askin'!" }}
* Saying the background scenery during the [[Villain Song]] looks like "Candyland if it was designed by Charles Manson in the same asylum (the movie writers were)".
Line 86:
** ''And'' Spoony's outtake at the end: he breaks character and deadpans (while laughing), "Man, I'm gonna regret that some day!"
*** The best part: the Critic is so taken aback by the twist that he starts to talk and then throws up his hands over and over again, unable to summon adequate words to express his outrage. Finally he manages to get out "DUMB! THIS IS ''DUMB!!''"
{{quote|
* The Nostalgia Critic [[This Is Gonna Suck|gearing up in SWAT Armor before reviewing the movie.]]
{{quote|
** Being a very obvious reference to the gearing-up scene in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' makes it even funnier.
* This little exchange:
{{quote|
'''Critic:''' "WEEEEEEAK--!" }}
* The Critic is so mad that {{spoiler|yes, he destroys the DVD again. But this time, he gets the friggin' ''[[Star Wars|Death Star]]'' to blow it up.}}
* This at the very end:
{{quote|
'''Care Bear''': Did somebody say 'care'?<br />
'''Critic:''' *Groan*!! ''*Cue [[Care Bears]] intro over end credits*'' }}
* '''{{color|red| AND WHERE THE FUCK IS MRS. BRISBY'S STATUE???}}'''
* Regarding Nicodemus's [[Ass Pull|prophecy]]: "No, no he didn't. You just made that up."
{{quote|
* "We see Timmy and his brother Martin [[It Makes Sense in Context|riding each others nuts]]..."
* "[[The Karate Kid|Key on, key off; key on, key off...]]"
* When one of the rats scolds Timmy for thinking he knows better than everyone else:

* The bit with the three Wise Men.
{{quote|
* The Critic noting how the Bears could solve the problem of '''''DAAAAARK HEEAAAART!''''''s trickery by simply ignoring Chrissy, and his enactment.
{{quote|
*runs off-screen right*
"OH MY GOD A BAG."
*flop* }}
* The ending. {{spoiler|Sage proceeds to erase the Critic's memories of all the horrible sequels he had to review when he suddenly stops to say the whole thing is just a cheap costume and an act. But changes his mind when the Critic mentions how he'd do anything. Sage eventually makes him process his money into his Paypal account, and makes him fall off a cliff!}}

* The Critic thinking that '''DAAARK HEAAART!''' was channeling [[Christopher Walken]]:

== Musical Review: Moulin Rouge ==
* The ENTIRE FUCKING REVIEW. The fact that it's a musical is, in and of itself, just a wonderfully comical idea, executed absolutely flawlessly. The quality of the lyrics pretty much needs to be credited to this review's guest star [[
* The review's beginning and [[Book Ends]], which are near-exact replicas of the movie's. Complete with Linkara singing.
{{quote|
** Chester is conducting with his ''change cup''. In fact, just the shot of him walking into position, bobble hat bobbing up and down, is hilarious.
* As lampshaded by Lindsay in the bloopers, the Chick looking ''turned on'' when the Critic's trying hard not to admit he likes something in the movie.
** As for the moment when they're all very close together in the outtakes, we get this amusing bit:
{{quote|
'''Lindsay''': *''still in "acting horny" mode''* Your eyes are so blue.
'''Doug''': I know. }}
*** And then Doug's Phelous impersonation, with Lindsay behaving like she's fangirling hard.
{{quote|
* The [[Phelous]] musical number. That is all.
** Unexpectedly, the Chick and Brentalfloss tango across the screen. After a few more dance inserts, they're just standing there chatting, then suddenly realise they're on screen.
Line 1,593 ⟶ 1,592:
** The outtakes reveal that Doug eventually had to completely stop making eye contact with him to avoid cracking up.
* The new game of "Find the Shot that Lasts for Five Seconds". The timer ''itself'' self-destructs from sheer frustration.

** Nella and Elisa repeating the last two syllables of the Chick's sentences...which doesn't always really work.

'''Brentalfloss and Chick:''' *''horrified''* Oh Jesus, no! }}
** This gem:

'''[[The Cinema Snob
* The Chick's rant about Christian's [[Kick the Dog]] moment.
* The [[Take That]] at the movie's [[Downer Ending]], with the Critic shooting Brentalfloss just so he can mourn over his body. His ensuing expressions are priceless.
* The ending musical number ''The Review Must Go On'' by Team [[N Chick]] and the Critic, {{spoiler|which is swiftly cut off near the end by Brentalfloss shooting the Critic. ''From heaven''}}.
{{quote|
** The Chick and Critic sing-snarking at each other. And that she goes off-message and starts singing about how she wants a sandwich.
** The Chick keeps returning the Critic's rhymes until he has to break from singing to say "We're going to end the song ''now!''"
* Jumping from location to location: "Honolulu, 'classified' ([[Fallout 3|Mothership Zeta]]), [[Planet of the Apes|the future]], [[Mind Screw|two minutes ago]], [[The Spoony Experiment

* Zidler's ''Like a Virgin'' sequence, with the Critic caught between Brentalfloss and the Chick's dancing.
* The reaction to [[Large Ham|the Duke character]] in the movie.
{{quote|
* The Chick whips out ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' in support of the Critic's mocking of "love at first sight." Brentalfloss sees the cover and says, "A-ha! A penis!"
** Also, the Critic telling the Chick to shut up because he likes ''The Little Mermaid''; doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for fans who were less than pleased with the Chick's hatred of the movie.
** In the outtakes, Doug notes that ''all'' the towers look like penises to him, and says, "Maybe I'm just really sick."
** The commentary reveals that the joke wasn't actually in the script, and Doug simply brought the movie in case they wanted to randomly throw in a penis joke.
* After {{spoiler|Satine dies}}:

'''Critic:''' Yeah, I guess it ''is'' kinda funny. }}

* The Ghost of Christmas Future tries to get the Critic on board with his Christmas Carol parody by getting him to join up with [[Obscurus Lupa]]'s project. The Critic considers it, but angrily declines when he sees that the Ghost has actually tied up Lupa to get her to participate, despite the Ghost's protests that [[Blatant Lies|this is how she gets into character.]] Later, at the very end of the review...

* The ending, just when you think the Critic has learned his lesson:

'''Narrator:''' Oh. Fuck you, then! }}
* The Critic being outraged at the Grinch's backstory, citing that his botched attempt at shaving was so humiliating, [[Kids Are Cruel|his classmates]] and even ''[[Adults Are Useless|the teacher]]'' laughed at him.
* The part where the Critic does a [[Lampshade Hanging]] on the fact that, while the entire backstory of the Grinch is explained, the narrator still hasn't figured it out:
{{quote|
* His comments on the Whos in this movie:
{{quote|
* "So the Grinch heads on down, he'll be glad that he did! Because ''this'' scene happens." *''The Grinch lands face-first between [[Ms. Fanservice|Martha May's]] [[Funbag Airbag|breasts]]''* [[Running Gag|"You know, for kids!"]]

* "There's an explosion in ''The Grinch''? Who directed this, [[Michael Bay]]?!"
** "So the Grinch didn't ''steal'' Christmas, more like assassinated it."
