Line 369:
* [[Drinking Game]]: Does a [[Stephen King]]-inspired one with ''[[IT]]'', where he drinks for every time he notices a Stephen King cliche. [[Hilarity Ensues|He's drunk about a quarter of the way in; and]] ''[[Hilarity Ensues|shitfaced]]'' [[Hilarity Ensues|by the halfway point.]]
** {{spoiler|[[Lost in Space|Dr. Smith]]}} remarks later in the review that aforementioned drinking game has been known to kill people.
** He does one for the number of scenes in the opening of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' that aren't actually in the show.
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: There's been several brought in to stop him killing himself or throwing up, but their only motive is to make him finish the review.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: He is fervent in his belief that Rock Biter's wife (on ''[[The Neverending Story (film)|The Neverending Story]] 3'') is actually a cross-dresser.
Line 410:
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The lighting was bad, he didn't have the white shirt and tie, his voice was slower when he was talking and the screaming was more like screeching every word, the videos were much shorter because he was on [[YouTube]] and the character was a lot more sterotypically masculine.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: He has to genuinely almost lose the will to live before he gets his self-esteem back. Or at least enough to be proud of his patheticness for the time being.
* [[Ear Worm]]: In-universe, ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'''s theme is the biggest offender to Critic, along with the ''[[Animaniacs]]'' Theme, The [[Power Rangers]] theme, and others.
* [[Eats Babies]]: [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], apparently.
* [[Emotional Torque]]: The reason why he gives the point to the ''[[True Grit]]'' remake Mattie. The original has more realistic fear, but the "little girl version of ''[[The Terminator]]'' is far more engaging because she's so damaged and determined.
Line 456:
*** In his Jaws 3D review, he simulates an offscreen sex scene by himself, providing the orgasmic-sounding voices for both the man and the woman. Goodness.
** The DVD menus seem to be made for this: the first consists of him wearing an [[Wholesome Crossdresser|air hostess uniform]] and the second has Rob barging in on him while he's in the [[Shower Scene]].
** When you don't see Marobot's title card, the screenshot he used for his ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' episode is the [[Panty Shot]] in ''[[Suburban Knights]]''. (This one may have been more Blip TV's doing since they often go to stills within a video for screenshots, but it's still appreciated by many.)
** His chloroforming at the hands of [[The Nostalgia Chick]] in her ''[[Transformers]]'' review. Mostly due how to she's enjoying it and he's, well, [[Captain Obvious|not]].
** He's been soaked through at least three times. Doug even said he had to sell his old jacket partly because of it.
Line 491:
** He set up the [[Parental Neglect]] angle early when he mentioned off-hand in the "Top 11 Scariest Moments" that he was allowed to have a gun as a kid.
** The choice of ''[[Star Trek]]'' month and the new vast abundance of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' jokes weren't just [[Author Appeal]], it was setting us up for the fourth anniversary, which was announced as a sci-fi story.
* [[Freakier Than Fiction]]: Well, fiction is stranger than some other fiction, anyway. In reality, he tried to make ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' [[Darker and Edgier]] as a joke by suggesting that Scrooge made all his money by racketeering, embezzlement and so on. However, [[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck|he actually made it in a far worse way: exploiting African natives.]]
* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: During his review of "The Pound Puppies Movie", there's a parody of [[Fight Club]] where The Nostalgia Critic splices a naughty frame into a children's movie. In this case, it's two dogs humping. The image is only on-screen for a frame.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: In-universe, from his review of ''Chairman of the Board'':
