* As part of his ''[[Will and Dewitt]]'' review (part of an overall review of [[Kids WB]]'s [http://www.platypuscomix.net/kidswbyourself/thelastday.html final day], Peter Paltridge reviews the "Small Potatoes" episode...{{spoiler|except he describes the plot of [[RoboCop]] with Will in Alex Murphy's place instead of the actual episode}}.
* Paltridge's [http://www.platypuscomix.net/videos/lifedayads.html textual comments] on some of the commercials that played during ''[[The Star Wars Holiday Special]]''.
{{quote| (after a commercial for Sheer Indulgence pantyhose) I would say [[Think of the Children|they should have thought of the multitudes of children watching that night]], but the part with the Wookiee watching the erotic video had already aired, and that was WAY more [[Squick|traumatizing]].}}
* When Paltridge reaches ''[http://www.platypuscomix.net/bored/afterschool22.html Amy and the Angel]'' in his gallery of ABC Afterschool Special advertisements, he admits that he recalls seeing another movie with [[It's a Wonderful Plot|the exact same plot]], except that {{spoiler|[[It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie|Kermit the Frog played the lead character]]}}. (He [http://www.platypuscomix.net/hollywood/misfit17.html reviewed] that movie a few years earlier.)
* Paltridge begins "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/hollywood/eulogyforalf.html Eulogy for Alf]" by saying he originally planned to write a tribute to the then-recently deceased Ed McMahon, but considered changing it to a Farrah Fawcett tribute after ''she'' died, but ultimately, he '''knew''' he had to write something about [[ALF]]'s death. After going through a lengthy and fabricated account of Alf's rise and fall, Paltridge announces he suddenly heard that {{spoiler|one more celebrity passed away: [[Billy Mays]], who he then calls the biggest loss of them all}}.
* Paltridge's [http://www.platypuscomix.net/hollywood/misfit34.html review] of ''Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July'' includes a demonstration of how you could apply the [[Narm|Narmy]] quote, "I'm [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome|twying]]! I'm twying weeal hawwrd!" to [[Terra Nova|anything]] that doesn't go as well as you'd hope.
* The comments Paltridge makes in his ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Return of Jafar]]'' [http://www.platypuscomix.net/hollywood/returnofjafar.html review] about the ocassionally ghastly animation.
{{quote| [Jasmine]'s fully in the right to distort her face to [[John Kricfalusi|Spumco]] proportions...}}
* When Marie Osmond shows up in the [[Walt Disney]] TV special reviewed in "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/people/waltblech.html Walt Disney: One Man's Nightmare]", Paltridge decides to share a theory about the fact she lacks visible signs of aging:
{{quote| Either she entered that pact with the woman from ''[[Death Becomes Her]]'' and swallowed her potion, or [[Deceptively-Human Robots|she's a robot]]. Which one is more plausible? Well, that woman doesn't exist, so....the robot, of course.}}
* The stories Paltridge makes up in "[http://www.platypuscomix.net/educational/touchofyogurt.html Seven Failed Brand Crossovers]" about the origins and failures of Cosmopolitan Yogurt and Clairol Touch of Yogurt Shampoo.
