Line 156:
* [[All Men Are Perverts]], [[All Women Are Lustful]]: They're a pretty horny bunch. Seeing as how they're all nerds, this is to be expected.
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: Spoofed by name when the Critic and the Chick review ''[[Fern Gully]]''. Also spoofed by the question-answering title character of [[Ask That Guy With The Glasses]] in one episode of his show
* [[And You Were There]]: Subverted at the end of his [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925045149/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1743-surf-ninjas Surf Ninjas review], where he is surrounded by his friends after having a dream where he reviewed ''[[Surf Ninjas]]'' and liked it. He tells his friends that they were there; then, when one asks "Really?", he says, "No."
* [[Angrish]]: [[Lampshaded]] in the AVGN/Critic review, in which [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] points out to the Nostalgia Critic that he's too angry to come up with a coherent way to express his distaste over how ugly [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Master Splinter]] looks.
* [[Anti-Villain|Anti Villains]]: At least in the [[Kickassia|two]] [[Suburban Knights|specials]]. Doug has said that when he's writing them, he draws from the ''[[Batman]]'' [[Rogues Gallery]]: they're all horrible people, certainly, but they're sympathetic too and will look after each other in a sometimes manipulative, [[Tough Love]] way.
Line 174:
* [[Big No]]: Panda, to Smarty's death in episode 4 of ''Panda Q&A''.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: According to Merry Zodmas, [[Superman (film)|Kryptonians]] grow their heads back after consuming a radioactive beverage.
* [[Black Comedy]]:[https://web.archive.org/web/20131120012246/http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/sketches-the-most-disturbing-aristocrats-joke-ever-1469521 The Most Disturbing Aristocrats Joke Ever].
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]:
** Zig-zagged in all three "Spooning With Spoony" segments. The horror and Spoony's smug objectification of everyone provides the funny, not specifically that they were raped. Also as a bonus, [[The Nostalgia Chick]] and [[The Nostalgia Critic]] are the most traumatized, yet Lindsay and Doug came up with their respective episode idea.
Line 221:
* [[Culture Clash]]: According to one of Spoony's vlogs, this happens to Benzaie when he's introduced to the concept of sales tax.
** Though technically the issue wasn't the sales tax itself, variants of which exist in many other countries. It's that in Europe said tax is usually already included on the product's price.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Many members of the site's "B-team" came together to [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924175117/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/paw/specials/16364-dragonball-evolution review] ''[[Dragonball Evolution]]'' while they were attending a convention. For some, it was their [[Schedule Slip|first appearance in a video in months]]. It was also a movie that many people had wanted the Nostalgia Critic himself to review, so it got a lot of attention when it came out.
* [[Death Glare]]: Linkara withers under the Critic's glare when he's caught pretending to be the Critic in their ''Superman IV'' review.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: In the case of Phelous and the Nostalgia Critic. Both [[Lampshade Hanging]] it too.
Line 358:
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The "5-Second Movies", for the most part, aren't exactly five seconds long.
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: So many reviews cover things that the reviewers have to assure the audience actually happened in those works.
** The cafe in [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925172259/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/sketches/33165-where-is-malachite this video] is a real place. The last part even gives you the address in case you want to stop by.
* [[Not Me This Time]]: After several reviewers were stuck watching ''[[The Last Airbender]]'', they figure [[The Nostalgia Critic]] set them up since he did something similar before with ''[[Dragonball Evolution]]''. When they contact him, [[Even Evil Has Standards|he's horrified at the idea of anyone sitting through it]].
* [[Old Shame]]: In episode 5 of "Masterpiece Fanfic Theater", Bennett reads a script-formatted crossover fanfiction between ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'', and ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', with a [[Self-Insert Fic|self-insert character]] and a plot ripped off from a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Big Finish Doctor Who|audio drama]], written by... Linkara, who spends most of the episode tied up to an armchair, trying in vain to get Bennett to stop reading it.
