Mid-Review Sketch Show: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

 

* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] more or less [[Trope Codifier|codified]] this trope: his earliest videos featured some short skits, but he got particularly carried away with these in his ''[[Friday the 13th (video game)|Friday the 13 th]]'' and ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' reviews and hasn't stopped since. His format has since then become almost standard of just about any [[Caustic Critic]] with a video series of his own, and his own theatrical antics have evolved to the point where he can spend more than half the video goofing around in front of a camera instead of talking about the game.

** His more skit-heavy episodes can become so elaborate that he's often working on several reviews at a time, shifting between "classic"-style reviews with a bigger focus on the game itself, and more theatrical videos, the former kind taking less effort to make. (to show how the elaborate are complicated: in a [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/717056.html "making of" special], he points out he listened to [[Iron Maiden]]'s entire discography while editing his [http://www.gametrailers.com/player/711094.html 100th episode]!)

* [http://www.youtube.com/user/PhantomReviews Phantom Reviews] feature footage from old ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' films to represent The Phantom Reviewer and Christine in the sketches.

* [[RedLetterMedia]]'s Mr. Plinkett reviews feature the titular character's exploits in his [[Creepy Basement]] and other psychotic behaviour.

* ''[[Wiiviewer]]'' does some of these, especially when showing just how silly some aspects of the games are.
