Line 9:
It is an adventure-comedy about [[The Nostalgia Critic]], like [[Kickassia|last time]], gathering a ton of reviewers and leading them into going on a quest. But this time, it is for a legendary gauntlet that is hidden somewhere in suburban Illinois, and according to the map, they must all dress up as famous fictional characters in order to find it.<ref>[[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Not LARPing, though. That's something completely different that only dorks do. That's totally not what this is.]]</ref> Real villains start showing up to stop their plans, and they discover that [[And You Thought It Was a Game|this isn't so much a "game" as they had first assumed!]]

Line 127:
*** And no one besides Film Brain and Luke are happy when The Critic tricks them into going to Chicago.
*** [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] has a cameo in both to provide exposition and does not take part in the actual filming, although {{spoiler|he does get to voice the ball of light during the fight at the end}}.
** The reaction of the female reviewers to [[Jew Wario]]'s costume is a [[Shout-Out]] to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130731125733/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/nostalgia-chick/5570-labyrinth Lindsay's] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130608062001/http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/03/ycpt-3-20-labyrinth-famicom/ Jew Wario's] reviews of ''[[Labyrinth]]''. In the former, she warns that she'll be paying a lot off attention to "the Area" (Just look at her quote on the trope page); the latter had a scene where several female contributors swooned over Jareth.
** The "EPICNESS!!!!!!!" tape features a nod to both Doug's GNN/Lori Prince Live sketch, and Spoony's ''[[Mazes and Monsters]]'' review; specifically the film's [[Broken Aesop]] that games like ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' ruin lives and Spoony's reaction.
** The Nostalgia Critic again brings up Chick-fil-A's policy of being closed on Sundays.
Line 214:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The Cloaks.
* [[Expy]]: GNN newscaster Larry Prince in the "EPICNESS!!!!" video is one of Lori Prince, one of Doug Walker's past sketch characters, who himself is an [[Expy]] of Larry King.
* [[Exposed to the Elements]]: It was cold and windy. Benzaie makes it clear in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130731125744/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/31605-a-frog-in-chicago-again his vlog] that it was hard to remain shirtless, and Lupa put on her leather jacket between takes to remain warm [[Throw It In|(said jacket was even incorporated in a battle)]]. Also, nearly everyone got sunburn.
* [[Eye Poke]]: During the first fight against the Cloaks, Brad pokes a Cloak in the eyes and runs away.
* [[Fan Service]]:
Line 311:
** The end of Part 6. They're victorious and have found the gauntlet, but then everything goes silent and they all get an [[Oh Crap]] look on their faces: {{spoiler|Malachite is right across the road}}.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Critic and Benzaie due to the [[Stripperific]] nature of their costumes and [[Jew Wario]] for playing a [[Memetic Sex God]]. With the weather being the way it was, the former two regretted wearing so little.
* [[Music Video]]: For Sad Panda's song [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925025016/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/sadpanda/spmusicvideotheater/31584-suburban-knights-music-video "Flights of Fantasy"], which plays over the closing credits. '''''WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS!'''''
* [[Musicalis Interruptus]]: Linkara keeps trying to sing in Part 2, but everybody tells him to knock it off. His efforts in Part 3 go just as well. He's interrupted yet again in Part 7, {{spoiler|but is finally allowed a whole song when he argues that he didn't even get a story arc, though his acting ability may have made up for it}}.
* [[Nakama]]: Out of verse, as always. But even in verse, they become this. They're still assy and snarky, but they stand together and comfort each other when one gets upset or hurt.
Line 429:
* [[Snipe Hunt]]: How the Critic keeps stopping Ma-Ti from joining them, ranging from protecting non-existent children and elderly to finding goat porn.
** Lampshaded in Part 5, along with [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]].
* [[Solemn Ending Theme]]: Sad Panda's song "[https://web.archive.org/web/20130925025016/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/sadpanda/spmusicvideotheater/31584-suburban-knights-music-video Flight of Fantasy]".
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: "Cat" is obviously a puppet. {{spoiler|Justified when Cat turns out to be a ''in-universe'' puppet.}}
** Jaffers and the Cloaks had some awfully wobbly swords for their supposed lethality. Just sayin'.
