Line 315:
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: "Oh George Takei, teach me the Spocker!"
* [[Dawson Casting]]: [[Did Not Do the Research|He thought]] the characters in ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' were played by people in their twenties, but that's nothing but [[Younger Than They Look|a common mistake]].
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924131206/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1324-follow-that-bird review] of ''[[Sesame Street|Follow That Bird]]'' is a [[Bum Reviews]] in disguise, as the Nostalgia Critic couldn't face snarking on the first show he ever saw and bowed out early.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: {{spoiler|[[Vincent Price]]}} made one so that he could see into the future with 100% accuracy. He used this to [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That|record a conversation]] with the critic for when he reviewed ''[[The Thief and the Cobbler]]''.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: Although it doesn't stop him from trying again and again.
Line 351:
** Douchey's whole shtick is to want the Critic hanged, waterboarded or tortured in some other fashion for the great crimes of things like wearing eyeliner, not being good at maths and mispronunciation of names.
* [[Dissimile]]: In the ''[[Tank Girl]]'' review: "It's like a comic book coming to life... without it actually coming to life."
* [[Divide by Zero]]: Happens in his review of ''The Garbage Pail Kids Movie'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925022146/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/5300-garbage-pail-kids starting at 21:14]
* [[Domestic Abuse]]: He praises the Harley Quinn/Joker dynamic, especially the episode "Mad Love", for capturing the essence of abusive relationships.
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: He tends to fall into this a lot when targeting comedies, oftentimes substituting explaining a joke for pointing out why it isn't funny. This is most blatant in his review of the ''[[Super Mario Brothers]]'' movie when he calls out the movie's use of a [[Who's on First?]] joke by asking whether or not it's supposed to be a [[Who's on First?]] joke.
Line 460:
** He's been soaked through at least three times. Doug even said he had to sell his old jacket partly because of it.
** Done in an equal-opportunity way for the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' review. Girls get pregnant from Critic singing while guys get the Chick, Elisa and Nella in boob-enhancing corsets.
** Other than it being funny, the only reason why Doug's naked and playing a [[Depraved Bisexual]] in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20131113095721/http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/the-best-of-that-guy-with-the-glasses-vol-3-dvd-5979266 advertisement].
** Slightly ickier example, but it's hard to miss the "I'm having an orgasm" face when he's pissing on the old ''[[Doug]]'' theme tune.
** In-universe, this is his belief as to why Catherine Zeta Jones plays up her character's bisexuality in the remake of ''[[The Haunting]]''.
