* [[Fan Dumb]]: The sheer amount of morons on tgwtg.com's forums is enough to make you cry for humanity (the comments on the videos themselves are ''even worse'').

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In the "Tommy Wiseau Show," Doug plays both "Tommy Wiseau" and "John from [[The Room]]Movie.com". Then [[Sock Puppet|this]] [http://www.willdendis.com/The_Room_Harpers.pdf possibility] came to light. (though it could also be [[Hilarious in Hindsight]])

** The jokes on Transmission Awesome about Aussie wanting to fire other people (especially Sean) turn into this considering what happened to him.

* [[Gratuitous Special Effects]]: Many reviewers use special effects such as when [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] had a laser shootout with [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]]. The effects add quirky, funny elements to the videos but would not normally be expected in movie reviews.

* [[Hate Dumb]]: And how! Part of it would create lies to try and make TGWTG look like the worst thing on the internet. Some of the most prominent critics of the site seem to be bitter that their content was passed over.

** The whole group seems to attract every variety of it, probably due to their relative popularity for being internet-famous. The Nostalgia Critic's Douchey McNitpick character has a lot of this mixed in with the [[Fan Dumb]] as well, attacking people for imagined or ridiculous reasons.

* [[He Panned It, Now He Sucks]]: Bennett seems to have attracted a bit of the old nerdrage for insulting ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: A joke by Linkara in the ''[[Superman]] IV: The Quest for Peace'' review with the Nostalgia Critic got him a lot of heat because he simply mentioned Israel. This led to tons of hatemail accusing him of supporting/hating Israel. He addressed this in the commentary for the video, in which he reminded the readers that he never said anything about Israel except that they probably wouldn't be happy about a guy stealing their nukes, where the film shows everyone on earth unanimously cheering that Superman is going to take away everyone's nukes.

* [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: There are some people who don't watch the Critic, Linkara or Spoony for the sole reason of their "big three" [[Fan Nickname]].

* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: Despite the rampant amount of shipping in the fandom, there are relatively few of thse. A few do seem to stick, however, are Spoonkara ([[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]]/[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]]), Padd ([[Paw Dugan]]/[[Todd in The Shadows]]) and Topa ([[Todd in The Shadows]]/[[Obscurus Lupa Presents|Lupa]]). Inskara ([[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Dr. Insano]]/[[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]]) is also quite popular.

** [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming]]: The Head![[OT 3]] ([[Todd in The Shadows]]/[[Paw Dugan]]/[[Pushing Up Roses]]), so named because of the ''[[Head (Film)|Head]]'' review the three did together.

* [[One of Us]]: Several of the reviewers mention [[TV Tropes]] or a trope title while reviewing, including [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]], [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]], Y Ruler of Time, [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]], [[Desu Des Brigade|JesuOtaku]], Dena, [[Spoony One]], Doug and Rob Walker.

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Film Brain's first few reviews weren't too well liked, but he's since long come into his own.

* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]], [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] (when he's not being a perfect hero), [[Phelous]] and The Other Guy will usually get this from the fanfic fandom, although for [[Evil Is Sexy]] reasons rather than hate.

** The Last Angry Geek is often accused of ripping off Linkara, even though he's been reviewing comics for the site longer in text format.

** LordKat managed to avoid any major criticism until he admitted to using emulators and save states when recording game footage. The fans that criticize him tend to forget that ''Until We Win'' is supposed to be a guide to beating a game and is more meant for how the viewers are supposed to play than LordKat himself.

** [[The Amazing Atheist|The Distressed Watcher]] gets this from those that don't like his tendency to attempt to [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line as many times as possible.]] Indeed, there was an unsuccessful petition to have him ''removed from the site''. According to [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]], he's a bit of a loner compared to the otherwise tight-knit and friendly TGWTG reviewers, and rarely talks to them. He admits that once Mike Ellis left the site's management team it became apparent that he'd been DW's only real supporter on the site.

* [[They Copied It, So It Sucks]]: Sage drew quite a few negative comments for his new "Comic Conventions" feature for being in more or less a copy of Atop the Fourth Wall (futon and all) despite Linkara having suggested it to him.
