{{quote| "If ''she's'' a virgin, then I review good movies for a living."}}
* [[As Himself]]: The Snob's jaw drops when {{spoiler|Colonel Harland Sanders}} makes a cameo, as himself, in ''Hell's Bloody Devils''. Which was apparently not that uncommon, back when {{spoiler|Kentucky Fried Chicken}} would provide catering for movies that featured a bit of [[Product Placement]] in return.
* [[As the Good Book Says...]]: Parodied in his first part of the ''Caligula'' review.
** Brad references some of the less family-friendly sections of the Bible numerous times throughout his ''Bibleman'' review for ''DVD-R Hell'', though only once does he play the trope straight.
{{quote| '''Child:''' ''[Singing]'' You can take a trip to lands unexplored/And meet up with heroes who fight with a sword<br />
'''Brad:''' Damn right, they're fighting with a sword! [[As the Good Book Says...|For as it says,]] [[Moral Dissonance|"Take all the heads of the people and hang them up before The Lord against the sun!"]] Severed heads, children! It's in Numbers; look it up. <ref>Numbers 25:4, to be exact. Kind of funny in that "heads" actually means "chiefs" (This was the part where - after the people of Israel escape Egypt - they begin to worship Baal, which makes God command that Moses kill the leaders that authorized this), but the threat of violence is just as valid.</ref> }}
* [[Audio Erotica]]: In [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]'s "You're a Rotten Dirty Bastard" Christmas special, Brad would never have become the Cinema Snob [[It's a Wonderful Plot|if the Critic never existed]]. He instead becomes the world's greatest porn star.
{{quote| '''Brad:''' All you need is a penis the size of a lightsaber and the rest is done for you.<br />
Line 113:
** At the start of ''Caligula'', he freaked out when the first shot had the title character running around with a herd of sheep. This trope was averted, however.
* [[The Cameo]]:
** Plenty of them in the 100th episode review of ''Caligula''. [[Ask That Guy With the Glasses (Web Video)|Ask That Guy With the Glasses]] shows up to explain the historical background to Caligula, [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]], [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]], LordKat, JewWario and [[Phelous]] all appear in Roman costume claiming to be Caligula, [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] and [[Obscurus Lupa]] are confused by them, [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] gets cross that he didn't get to be Caligula because of [[The
** Bennett the Sage appeared at the end of the Snob's next review of the German slasher film ''[[Violent Shit]]'', also pretending to be Caligula, but he quickly became sad when he realized he missed his opportunity.
** LordKat appears during Brad Tries Durian. He also appears in ''The Bix Box'' review of ''[http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/05/05/the-big-box-dont-open-the-door.aspx Don't Open the Door]'' as Vic Dealio's Uncle Lino.
Line 132:
** A Blu-Ray edition of ''[[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' has pride of place on Brad's mantle.
{{quote| '''Snob:''' Because when '''I''' watch near-future gang rape, [holds up DVD] I need that shit in HD.}}
* [[Child
** He gets some hilarious [[Lampshade Hanging]] out of it.
{{quote| '''Snob:''' Oh, what? You're really surprised that the Cinema Snob doesn't like children? Am I really that big of a ball of sunshine? '''I'M GRUMPY!'''}}
Line 203:
*** Also, [[Diamanda Hagan]], whose choice of movies oddly echoes both the Snob's and [[Brows Held High|Oancitizen]]'s.
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: The Snob goes barefoot, or at least sockless-with-loafers, in every episode. Brad explains the reason for this in his Cannibal Holocaust review.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)]]: Kung Tai Ted tries to warn his viewers against this in the ''Ninja Death II'' episode.

Line 218:
* [[Eat That]]: Four words: Twenty year-old McDLT.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: The video on ''[[Twilight (Literature)|Breaking Dawn Part 1]]'' with Jillian getting plastered with all kinds of messy things. She revealed she knew what the items were, but didn't know when she'd get hit with them.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards|Even Snobs Have Standards]]: The Snob is generally portrayed as being okay with pretty much any sort of depravity, and doesn't even blink at scenes of sexual sadism, and yet anything involving children being hurt or abused gets a [[Dude, Not Funny]] reaction, especially since in character the Snob is a [[Child
** He also refused to joke about the real animal deaths in ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'', stating that there's limits on how sadistic a film can be, and that "there are some things that you ''just don't do.''"
** In his ''Top 10 Worst Films of 2010'' video, he comments that it feels like he's just picking on [[The Twilight Saga]] when he mentions Twilight: Eclipse.
Line 290:
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: After seeing it used in ''Cannibal Ferox'', the Snob decides to see what would happen if he called his wife a "hot-pussied little whore". [[Coitus Ensues]].
* [[A Good Name for A Rock Band|A Good Name For an Internet Series]]: "Ninja Master Harry?!"
* [[Gorn]]: A few of the films he reviews. On ''Pieces'' he even snarks about blip.tv's censorship policies, as he only needs to censors [[Nipple
* [[Groin Attack]]: While watching ''Rape Squad'' with Mrs. Snob, the Snob [[Share the Male Pain|visibly recoils]] each time one of the girls takes a stick to a training dummy's crotch.
* [[Guilty Pleasures]]: Yes, [[In-Universe|the Snob actually has guilty pleasures]] - the films of Pierre Kirby and ''[[Manimal]]''.
Line 357:
* [[Jerkass]]: The Snob. He fires guns wildly into the air, beats up TV personalities for discussing movies he hates, and abuses Film Brain for being young.
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Brad himself.
* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Jillian gets fed up at Brad narrating what's happening onscreen. She also can't figure out how Brad is dubbing ''[[Friday the
{{quote| '''Brad:''' As long as you just ''think'' about the reference, it'll magically happen in the movie. }}
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: ''The Astro-Zombies''.
Line 497:
* [[Sequelitis]]: [[Invoked Trope|Referenced]] in his review of the 2010 version of ''Mother's Day''. It's quite clear he enjoyed it more than the original (which isn't saying much), but as a snob he knows that "a remake can never be better. [[No Except Yes|Even if the remake is better, the original is still better.]]
* [[Shallow Parody]]: [[In-Universe|His other main complaint]] with ''Super Hornio Bros'', specifically when Porno Mario is called "Squeegee" and Porno Luigi is "Ornio".

** The Snob recieved an anonymous package containing a movie called Guinea Pig which is presented as if it were a [[Snuff Film]]. Snob is horrified and calls the police. When the detective shows up and watches the film, the Snob immediatly decries it as a fake, saying he called the police because of how ''poorly'' the movie was made.
* [[What the Fu Are You Doing?]]: In the Battle between Kung Tai Ted and Master Kempo Dojo, Dojo produces a pair of nunchaku to show off with, and promptly [[Groin Attack|hits himself in the groin with them.]] Amusingly, Ted responds by producing a pair of his own, and ''doing the exact same thing''.
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: [[In-Universe]], during the review for ''Mega Shark vs Crocosarus'' and making note of Jaleel White's similarities with Reginald Vel-Johnson nowadays, he very briefly toys with the idea that the real reason that [[Family Matters|Urkel hung around the Winslow house]] was that [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Carl Winslow was really his father]].
* [[Wimp Fight]]: ''Kung Tai Ted'' and his rivals are this personified.
