[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: It's the [[That Guy With The Glasses]] one-year anniversary special, which consists of a brawl between the site's most prolific contributors. [[The Nostalgia Critic]]/[[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] rivalry comes to a head, splitting the Glasses crew roughly across medium lines: reviewers of video games (plus the guy who does the Nerd's theme music) versus the other reviewers.
{{tropelist}}
▲* [[Battle Boomerang]]: Wielded by [[National Stereotypes|That Aussie Guy]], of course.
{{quote|'''That Aussie Guy:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|Time to whip out the stereotype of doom!]]}}
* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Members of each side show up one after the other ''just'' in time to stop the Nerd or the Critic from getting the shit kicked out of them. By the time there's about five people on each side, people stop saving each other's asses and just show up randomly.
* [[
* [[Brick Joke]]: [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Giant Robotic Donkey Kong Jesus Riding a Puff of Smoke]] was introduced during the ''[[Cloverfield]]'' hype, and then finally trotted out for a duel with Super Mecha Death Christ in the Tag Team Brawl.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Angry Joe & Ma-Ti both qualify.
* [[Call Back]]: To the Critic's ''[[Cloverfield]]'' review, and Handsome Tom/Benzaie's ''[[Street Fighter]]'' match.
* [[The Cameo]]: Rob Walker is seen kicking a parking meter during the opening number, and Michaels Michaud and Ellis are seen in passing while the Nerd and the Critic chase each other down the halls.
* [[Cavalry Betrayal]]:
{{quote|'''Critic:''' Benzaie! I knew you'd come to our aid! Quickly, clench your fists in rage and score one for our side!
''Benzaie punches Linkara in the gut, causing him to fall over in pain''
'''Critic:''' [[Comically Missing the Point|...he's on our side.]]
''Benzaie punches the Critic in the face'' }}
* [[Cat Fight]]: Spoony faces off against That Chick With the Goggles and the Nostalgia Chick faces off against Sage. Suddenly, Spoony suggests that he and the Nostalgia Chick switch opponents, then he and Sage pretend to fight for about a second before stopping and taking pictures of the off-screen catfight between the two girls. Toward the end of the Brawl, about five of the guys just stand around enjoying the view while the Nostalgia Chick and Little Miss Gamer beat each other with pillows.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Damn near the entire thing features these.
* [[Funny Bruce Lee Noises]]: [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]].

{{quote|'''[[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]]''': "Wait a second. If he's riding a puff of smoke, how does he make the thumping?"
[a [[beat]], then everyone else turns to clobber him] }}
* [[Friend or Foe]]
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
{{quote|'''Benzaie:''' (''in French'') Sorry, Mr. Critic, but I'm a gamer first and a friend second...and quite frankly Mr. Video Game Nerd is a god among gamers. So sorry, but I must deliver you unto a world of pain.
'''Critic:''' Fortunately I can read your subtitles, you back-stabbing snail eater! I hate you! }}
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Although [[Word of God|Rob Walker]] said that it [https://web.archive.org/web/20120621200430/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3996&hilit=ScrewAttack&start=60#p32680 wasn't intended as such] - When Handsome Tom ([[Ensemble Darkhorse|And 8-Bit Mickey]]) first appears, he remarks that he has an issue with someone he's known for a while. Whilst it's a [[Call Back]] to Tom & Benzaie's ''[[Street Fighter]]'' match, it at first seems to be setting up Tom ([[Running Gag|And 8-Bit Mickey]]) being after [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] aswell, due to the [[Real Life Writes the Plot|real life issues]] that lead to Tom ([[Rule of Three|And 8-Bit Mickey]]) leaving [[
* [[Oh Crap]]: In the Brawl: "Look out! MA-TI IS PACKING!"

{{quote|''Linkara pulls out his magic gun''
'''Nerd:''' Oh, a toy gun. What are you, some kind of idiot?
'''Linkara:''' I'm not an idiot! [[Catch Phrase|I AM A MAN!]]
''Linkara [[Hat Damage|shoots Kyle Justin of KyleJustinMusic.com's hat off]]''
'''Nerd:''' How the fuck'd you do that?
'''Linkara:''' It's magic, bitch! }}
* [[This Is the Final Battle]]: Used just before the big gamers and critics fight starts:
{{quote|'''Nostalgia Critic''': "All right Nerd, this is it! No more to be continues, no more do-overs, it is time that we have the final battle! For the last time!" }}
* [[The Windy City]]: Is sung about by the Critic to the tune of ''[[Oklahoma!]]'''s opening number. ''Corruption's as high as an elephant's eye...and the meters cost 74.25...''
* [[Team Shot]]: The video ends with one of these being taken. Lampshaded by [[Ask That Guy With The Glasses]].
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]
