** A few weeks later, her having [[Squee|squees]] over both his review of ''[[The Room]]'' and epic take-down of [[Twilight|Bella Swann]]. Spoony was right when he said it was impossible to stay mad at Doug.

* His portrayal of faith is surprisingly lovely. Yes he's a sinning brat and [[God Is Evil]] in this universe, but he still prays, kept at it despite doubts, calls movies out for strawmanning Christianity but also if they bitch at atheists or other religions, and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|looks adorable kissing a silver cross]].

* It's not the most important thing ever, but in terms of queer women, ''[[Alien]]: Resurrection'' and ''[[The Haunting]]'' both show how much he's grown up since the days of panting over touchy-feely sisters.

* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' book launch, whining to the tickets guy about wanting to be let in early. Might sound like an odd choice, but he sounds like the excitedly impatient [[Adult Child]] we'll see later on.

** Especially when you find out that Doug had a [http://thatguywiththeglasses.wikia.com/wiki/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses#Inspiration_for_.22That_Guy_With_The_Glasses.22 mid-midlife crisis] back when he must have been at least in his early twenties. It just makes it an even more triumphant return. Plus, for all Critic's faults and issues, you've got to admit he's resilient.

* In "You're A Rotten Dirty Bastard", when the Critic believes Linkara became an alcoholic as a result of him not existing, the Critic starts to apologize to the Linkara that can't hear him, sounding completely upset about what he thinks has happened to one of his best friends. {{spoiler|but it turns out he would own Marvel and DC and was only in the bar because of the snowstorm}}

** Same thing goes for ''[[Commando (film)|Commando]]'' and pretty much any review where he has fun. This guy is [[When He Smiles]] in its purest form.

* His parents taking him out to Chuck E Cheeses whenever he got an A-. At least they've done ''something'' nice for their child.

* The one from his cameo when [[The Nostalgia Chick]] reviewed TLC. When she says that one particular songs describe some guys she works with, Critic angrily responds once he appears: "Hey, ''she's my world!''". YMMV, but still cute.

* In his review of ''[[Milk Money]]'', it meant a lot that he called the scene where Vee gets out out prostitution so insultingly and disgustingly easy.

* After years of only referencing ''[[DuckTales]]'' with complaints about its theme song being the king of all [[Ear Worm|Ear Worms]], he finally rewatches the first five episodes and ends up gushing over how great they are. "Not only does it hold up, it ''really'' holds up!"

* His review of ''[[James and the Giant Peach]]''. He's trying his hardest to be kind to a movie he doesn't really enjoy because he wants his fans to like him again.

** How even though it would be understandable if he trashed the movie after being held at gunpoint and trying to be good the whole review, he instead gives his usual final thoughts which basically amount to "it isn't my thing, but I can see why it's a cult classic". Of course, [[Butt Monkey|he still gets killed]].
