Line 35:

* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: Like most [[Caustic Critic|Caustic Critics]].

** [[Lampshaded]] at least twice, when he pointed out he legitimately likes at least two of the movies he's reviewed as the Snob (the first being ''Caligula'', and the other being ''Pieces''). He even appears [[OOC Is Serious Business|out of character]] at the beginning of both reviews to say so.

** His review of ''Violent Shit III'' opens with The Snob annoyed that ''[[Cowboys and Aliens (~~Film~~)|Cowboys and Aliens]]'' had aliens, an actual complaint from critics.

** His review of ''Violent Shit III'' opens with The Snob annoyed that ''[[Cowboys and Aliens (film)|Cowboys and Aliens]]'' had aliens, an actual complaint from critics.

** His ''Maniac'' review is an elaborate [[Deconstructed Trope|satire]] of this, taking opinions from real critics such as Gene Siskel and placing them in-context with the film footage.

{{quote| "What kind of [[Taxi Driver|sleazy movie featuring Joe Spinell]] would have [[Robert De Niro|its lead psychotic]] [[Hypocrisy Nod|have narration?!]]"}}

Line 43:

** He also admits that the line "My wife has a fever, if I wanted something hot I'd stay with her." from ''Island of Death'' made him chuckle.

** Changes his opinion of ''Chatterbox'' in [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving|mid-sentence]], realizing its the greatest movie title ever.

*** Also, he finds the talk show host in ''Chatterbox'' funny, saying he'd rather watch him than the [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|actual focus of the movie]].

*** Also, he finds the talk show host in ''Chatterbox'' funny, saying he'd rather watch him than the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|actual focus of the movie]].

** In his review of ''Nudist Colony Of The Dead'' he admits the sing along is actually pretty catchy, and sings a brief verse.

*** Similarly, he said he actually liked the random song and dance number from ''[[Don't Open Till Christmas]]''.

Line 53:

* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: Brad's real persona is nothing like the characters he plays.

* [[Alter Kocker]]: Points this out in the [[Gag Dub]] of ''Dracula: The Dirty Old Man''. After that, somebody dubs over ''him'' the same way.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: [[In Universe]]: DVD-R Hell's ''Rock: It's Your Decision'' is presented as if it's the brave story of a young man who, in spite of overwhelming peer-pressure, rejects a powerful tool of Satan to glory in the grace of God. Brad points out that it pretty much looked to him as the story of a young man who is systematically brainwashed and mentally dismantled by his parents and church because he dares to like a genre of music they don't.

* [[Analogy Backfire]]: "If I want to see a real Aliens rip-off then I will stick with Bruno Mattei's ''Terminator 2'', thank you very much. [beat] Wait a minute, no I won't!"

* [[And I'm the Queen of Sheba]]: ''Elves''' sketch of a nubile, naked "Virgin of Christmas."

Line 62:

'''Brad:''' Damn right, they're fighting with a sword!

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.

** Lampshaded in the crossover with [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] where they reviewed ''Bimbos B.C.'':

* [[Author Appeal]]: ''Guaranteed'' to like a film so long as it contains an 80's musical number.

Line 87:

** Homophobia. While reviewing ''Rock: It's Your Decision," he riffed on the protagonist's final speech until he made a homophobic reference - Brad pretty much ended the review on the spot.

** The writing style of Ehren Kruger. Brad ''really'' hates his writing going as far to blasting Transformers: Dark of The Moon in a giant [[Cluster F-Bomb]] rant during a Midnight Screenings segment.

** Depictions of animal cruelty or bestiality. He called Lars Von Trier a piece of shit for the dead animal shots in ''[[~~Antichrist (Film)|~~Antichrist]]'' and ''[[Film/Manderley|Manderley]]'', and only implied the rabbit slaughter in ''Nekromantik'' (and got really pissed off about it) and wouldn't even mention what happens later to the cat. He also complained about exploitation movies using bestiality as a go-to kink in the reviews for ''[[Los Ritos Sexuales Del Diablo]]'' and ''[[Island Of Death]]'' (which made him [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]). One reason ''[[Cannibal Holocaust]]'' made him so uncomfortable was that animals were ''actually killed'' for the movie. He also raises the issue in his review of ''[[Cannibal Ferox]]''.

*** Judging from his dislike of [[Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job|Tim and Eric]], he seems to dislike the whole [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]] trope.

** ''[[Halloween III Season of the Witch]]'' is this to 80s Dan.

** [[Friday the 13th]] part V: A New Beginning for being [[It Was His Sled|a Jason film without Jason Voorhees]].

** In the [[Christmas in America|War On Christmas]], Dolly is a General.

** CGI over practical effects.

* [[Better By a Different Name]]/[[Serial Numbers Filed Off]]: On ''Grizzly II'', he notices the [[Retroactive Recognition|famous names]] and states ''[[Grizzly]]'' also [[The Mockbuster|had everyone]]. [[Jaws|"Chief Brody, Matt Hooper, Jaws, even Alex Kitner"]]

* [[Big "What?"]]: Wait until he gets a load of Quint's replacement in ''Gums'' (the ''[[Jaws]]'' porn parody).

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: At the beginning of his ''Beaver and Buttface'' review, the bad memories of ''E.T. The Porno'' prompt him to [[Waking Non Sequitur|wake up shouting]] "Ich bin der Waffelautomat!" ("I am the wafflemaker/wafflemachine" in German). Doubles as a [[Continuity Nod]] to ''The Refrigerator'', where that line originated.

* [[Brain Bleach]]: From his ''Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)'' review:

{{quote| '''Snob:''' Wasn't ''that'' something? It was a [[Squick|comedically-dubbed rape film]]. ''Holy shit!'' The bath I just took now needs to take a bath!}}

* [[Brick Joke]]: In ''Brad Tries New Coke'', post [[Defictionalization]] 80s Dan mentions that he got some Coke 2 from someone from the 90s who was also in Limbo. Flash forward to his joint review of Bimbos BC with [[Atop the Fourth Wall ~~(Web Video)~~|Linkara]], where 80s Dan meets 90s Kid and the two plan to swap their supplies of discontinued Coke products.

Flash forward to his joint review of Bimbos BC with [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]], where 80s Dan meets 90s Kid and the two plan to swap their supplies of discontinued Coke products.

** In his review of Nightdreams, the Snob says "Sorry, 8-Bit Mickey" for not being able to show a porn scene featuring a strap-on made from the leg of a goat. Which, of course, harks back to the massive [[Suburban Knights]] crossover some weeks before, where the Nostalgia Critic convinces Ma-ti that Mickey has an incurable addiction to goat porn.

** Brad pauses his review of ''Elves'' to answer the doorbell. In the following video, we discover that it was 80s Dan and Dolly.

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 Queen's Latin]], and all of Brad Jones' other characters also appear, including Eighties Dan, who <s>doesn't actually exist</s> became an official character after appearing in a ''Brad Tries'' episode later on.

** 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 130:

** ''Really?!'' In the ''Rape Squad'' review, Jillian becomes a [[Phrase Catcher]] for it.

* [[Celebrity Endorsement]]: If "Brad Tries" hasn't left you dying to try a Crystal Pepsi just once, then nothing will.

** 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-Hater]]: The Snob cold opens his review of "Beware! Children At Play!" with the statement, "I hate kids." In fact, this isn't the first time he's said this: it goes all the way back to some of his first episodes. It is a particularly unfortunate sentiment given the movie's twist ending, though.

** 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!'''}}

* [[Christmas Episode]]: ''[[Don't Open Till Christmas]]'', ''[[Silent Night Deadly Night]] Part 2'' and ''Elves''.

* [[Christmas Episode]]: ''[[Don't Open Till Christmas]]'', ''[[Silent Night, Deadly Night]] Part 2'' and ''Elves''.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: While The Cinema Snob (or any of Brad's scripted material) is more prone to [[Precision F-Strike|Precision F Strikes]], anything involving Brad simply going off the cuff (such as a Vlog) is all but guaranteed to result in at least one instance of these.

** Also, '''JAKE.'''

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: After seeing Phelous hanging himself from the horror of ''Caligula'', the Snob wonders who turned the camera off.

** Also, on his [[Suburban Knights]] links have a plot summary of a movie atop it (in order: ''[[Weekend ~~At Bernies (Film)|Weekend At~~ Bernies]], [[Kindergarten Cop]], [[~~Big (Film)|~~Big]], [[Halloween III Season of the Witch]], [[First Blood]], [[Sleepaway Camp]], [[The Toxic Avenger]]'').

** The fetus gag in ''Anthropophagus''.

** After receiving a VHS tape of the unsettlingly realistic [[Gorn|faux-snuff film]] ''Guinea Pig: The Devil's Experiment'' in the mail, the Snob reports it to the police... for [[Excuse Plot|having terrible scriptwriting and camerawork.]]

Line 152:

** ''Island of Death'' ends up firmly in this territory by the end.

* [[Crossover]]: With other reviewers.

** Did a review of the film ''McBain'' with [[Bad Movie Beatdown ~~(Web Video)~~|Film Brain]].

** Did a review of the film ''McBain'' with [[Bad Movie Beatdown|Film Brain]].

** He and the Nostalgia Critic did a review of the first ''[[Leprechaun (~~Film~~)|Leprechaun]]''.

** He and the Nostalgia Critic did a review of the first ''[[Leprechaun (film)|Leprechaun]]''.

** He makes another cameo in Nostalgia Critic's review of ''[[Jaws 3|Jaws 3D]]'' to discuss ''[[Manimal]]''.

** He and [[Obscurus Lupa]] did a review of [[The Asylum]]'s [[Mockbuster]] of ''Sherlock Holmes''.

Line 176:

* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]: Subverted(!) in ''[[Las Vegas Bloodbath]]''. After a scene where a man kills a woman's unborn fetus, the Snob takes out a list of dead baby jokes, decides against telling them, and instead shows a clip of Jones' film ''Cheap.''

** Done literally in ''Antropophagous''. "I think it's expired."

* [[Deconstruction]]: One-off joke "Cinema Bum" being him dressed in the usual [[~~Bum Reviews (Web Video)|~~Bum Reviews]]-style outfit... Being depressed about being homeless and having no comment on the movie.

* [[Deconstruction]]: One-off joke "Cinema Bum" being him dressed in the usual [[Bum Reviews]]-style outfit... Being depressed about being homeless and having no comment on the movie.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: And he has such a great voice for it, too. Case in point from his ''Island of Death'' review, when he sees a character get brutally slaughtered with a knife and a gun, then another character says that they don't know how he died.

{{quote| '''Snob:''' If only the stab wounds and bullet holes had given us more clues!}}

* [[Deal ~~With~~ the Devil]]: Brad goes on record as saying he would sell his soul to get Crystal Pepsi back. He wonders if this ''has'' happened when he tastes "Not See Kola".

* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Brad goes on record as saying he would sell his soul to get Crystal Pepsi back. He wonders if this ''has'' happened when he tastes "Not See Kola".

* [[Dear Negative Reader]]: Brad himself hasn't done this, but his review of "Grizzly II" was taken down due to a complaint by Suzanne Nagy, the film's producer. Her email (displayed on the former review's page) didn't seem to be concerned with Brad's right to review the film (it was never legally distributed, meaning that first amendment rights don't apply); instead, she showed anger at the Snob's trashing of the film, going so far as to refer to it as a "horrible review." Suzanne was a little upset. Of course, angry fans have made sure the review stays up on Youtube.

** Averted with ''Video Violence'':

Line 185:

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]:

{{quote| "If I want to watch a ''Terminator II'' movie, I'll watch ''real Terminator II'' movies like ''[[Terminator]] 2'', thank you very much."

"I knew [[~~The Seventies|~~the Seventies]] were... seventies but I didn't realise they were ''that'' seventies!"

"I knew [[the Seventies]] were... seventies but I didn't realise they were ''that'' seventies!"

"I would rather date a bipolar manic depressive... again."

"I'm a snob who's so pretentious that I'm a snob ''during'' [[Le Film Artistique|something pretentious]]!"

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.

* [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]]: Kung Tai Ted tries to warn his viewers against this in the ''Ninja Death II'' episode.

* [[Drinking Game]]: [[In-Universe|He takes a sip]] every time a boom mic appears in ''[[Dolemite]]''.

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: The warden in ''Sadomania'' is a transsexual porn star.

Line 217:

* [[Ear Worm]]: [[In-Universe|The Snob]] claims both the ''Porno Holocaust'' and ''Tortugas Pinjas'' themes are this.

* [[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.

* [[Enforced Method Acting]]: The video on ''[[Twilight (novel)|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-Hater]].

** 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.''"

Line 226:

{{quote| "What? Don't take the spoon away! Now all we're left with is just a naked girl! And I see ''those'' every week! I ''rarely'' see a giant spoon!"}}

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Brad accidentally putting his movie ahead of his wife's pick, ''Moment By Moment'', in the Netflix queue. Luckily, Jillian is game for it. "It's no Lily Tomlin's ass in the moonlight, but it'll do."

* [[Exiled to ~~The~~ Couch]]: Brad opening his mouth to give Jillian his impression of ''Twilight'' -- [[Smash Cut]] to Brad getting kicked out of the house. This happens twice.

* [[Exiled to the Couch]]: Brad opening his mouth to give Jillian his impression of ''Twilight'' -- [[Smash Cut]] to Brad getting kicked out of the house. This happens twice.

** The third time, Brad pushes his luck [[Bullying a Dragon|a bit too far.]]

{{quote| '''Brad:''' Heh heh heh heh! What are you gonna do? [[Tempting Fate|Make me sleep at Jerrid's again?]]

Line 234:

** Spurred on by a scene in ''[[Caligula]]'', he pauses the review to do a brief ''Brad Tries'' where he drinks ''Human Blood'' (Well, allegedly anyway). His only complaint was that he was required to ''heat it up first.''

* [[Fan Boy]]: For Pierre Kirby and ''[[Manimal]]''.

** And for ''[[A Clockwork Orange (~~Film~~)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', to the point where he gets mad at ''A Clockwork Orgy'' for taking a line from the film out of context.

** And for ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', to the point where he gets mad at ''A Clockwork Orgy'' for taking a line from the film out of context.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: ''The Nudist Colony of the Dead'' review, during the [[Ear Worm]] sequence the Snob runs out onto his deck butt-naked. This later gets a [[Continuity Nod]] in the form of a reference to "that incident on the porch".

* [[Fan Service]]: Let's just say that in general, Brad never misses an opportunity to remind us that his wife has a killer rack. Like, ''never''.

Line 260:

* [[Flat What]]: When he found out there was a ''Caligula part 2''.

* [[Follow the Leader]]: ''Brad Tries...'' has spawned many imitators, many of them fellow TGWTG reviewers. Even though LordKat was actually the first to do these tasting style shows on the site, he didn't make it a regular feature like Brad did.

* [[Food Slap]]: Jillian tries to review ''Twilight: Breaking Dawn'', but Brian and Brad keep pelting her with concession snacks (and later, [[Pie in ~~The~~ Face|pies]]).

* [[Food Slap]]: Jillian tries to review ''Twilight: Breaking Dawn'', but Brian and Brad keep pelting her with concession snacks (and later, [[Pie in the Face|pies]]).

{{quote| '''"APPLESAUSE, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BEEYAATCH!!]]"''' }}

* [[Foreshadowing]]: He jokes that on any lines involving eating shit in ''[[Pink Flamingos]]''.

* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: A viewer writes to express concerns about the Snob telling his audience to call their girlfriend a "hot pussied little whore."

{{quote| '''Snob:''' Well, there's your problem. You [[Schmuck Bait|gotta pay them]] before you call them a hot pussied little whore!}}

* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]]: In his review of ''[[Violent Shit]]'', he comments on the choppy editing. For a brief second you can see {{spoiler|Brad sitting naked, reading a newspapaer}}.

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: In his review of ''[[Violent Shit]]'', he comments on the choppy editing. For a brief second you can see {{spoiler|Brad sitting naked, reading a newspapaer}}.

* [[Fridge Logic]]: "If Hell is for Heroes, does that mean Heaven is for Villains?"

* [[Funny Background Event]]: His cats often pop onscreen unexpectedly.

Line 279:

** At the end of the Rock: It's Your Decision review, Brad describes just how messed up the movie was & how it pretty much detailed the utter ruination of the main character as he is brainwashed. As he states that he is sure that, ten years later, the main character would hang himself, Lloyd picked that '''EXACT''' moment to jump up onto the couch as Brad smiles.

** In one episode, Lloyd starts meowing quite loudly off-screen, to which Brad reacts by assuring the cat they will drink the drink, which shuts the cat up.

** In the ''Hilter: Dead or Alive'' review, [[The Nostalgia Critic ~~(Web Video)~~|Douchey McNitpick]] caps off his letter on the production date of ''Violent Shit III'' by saying "P.S.: Lloyd!" It cuts back, and the Snob turns to find Lloyd perched on top of the chair.

** In "Brad Tries The Canwich And Super Rooster Booster", Lloyd pops on the table to take a sniff at some breadcrumbs, meows while Brad and Brian try the energy drink ("I think Lloyd wants some") and then when they show off the crumby mess the Canwich made, Lloyd lurks around before hopping on the couch to take a peek out the window.

* [[Fun ~~With~~ Subtitles]]: Films without subtitles or dubbing can get this treatment (i.e. ''Italian Batman'' receives lines from ''[[Batman (~~Film~~)|Batman]]'' and ''[[~~Batman Returns (Film)|~~Batman Returns]]'').

* [[Fun with Subtitles]]: Films without subtitles or dubbing can get this treatment (i.e. ''Italian Batman'' receives lines from ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]'' and ''[[Batman Returns]]'').

* [[Gag Penis]]: In an alternate reality, he's the world's greatest porn star for very obvious reasons.

'''Guardian Angel:''' How does he fit that into his pants!? }}

** The real world isn't far off, as he complains about an unwanted erection in ''The Gestapo's Last Orgy''. For emphasis, Brad knocks on the ''middle of his shirt'' while winking.

Line 289:

* [[Godwin's Law]]: Invoked at the end of ''They Saved Hitler's Brain''. "You know, that law that says if you compare something to Nazis, you lose the argument. I guess that means "They Saved Hitler's Brain" is ''good'' now. ''(bitter laugh)'' Well, '''son of a bitch'''.

* [[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?!"

* [[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-and-Dimed|breasts]] instead of the bloody mess that is the scene...

* [[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.

Line 298:

** Likewise, for ''Dracula: The Dirty Old Man'':

'''Brad''': Ha ha ha ha...because he killed millions of people! }}

Line 311:

* [[Hard Work Montage]]: Insert homemade montage for ''Strike of the Panther''.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: [[In-Universe]], the ''very first words'' of the "Beware! Children at Play" review are "I hate children." (Which isn't a new fact, if you've watched enough Snob episodes). The last scene of the film {{spoiler|is a good 5 minutes of the mob '''murdering the children in various ways'''}}. The Snob is stunned to silence and proceeds to {{spoiler|order a bucket that he throws up into}}.

* [[Hey That's My Line]]: A variation, during his review of ''Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)''.

** Inevitably happens during a crossover with Oancitizen.

Line 321:

** From Snob's actual reviews, ''Dracula (The Dirty Old Man)'' is a notable example. Snob gets especially frustrated when a character who is clearly supposed to have lines winds up completely mute.

* [[Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday]]: "There are horror movies to go along with every fucking holiday, aren't there?"

* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: In his review of ''[[Twilight (~~Literature~~)|Twilight]]: Eclipse''. It starts with Jillian giving a positive review, only for Brad to hijack the audio and give his thoughts.

Line 341:

* [[I Have Many Names]]: Brad had reason to suspect ''Zombi 7'' was added to IMDB as an alternate title specifically in the hope he'd review it.

** It doesn't help that he then [[Tempting Fate|sarcastingly claimed that months from then he would be reviewing]] ''Night Of The Seagulls'' because someone would attach the title ''Zombi 8'' to it on IMDB. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073461/releaseinfo#akas Which apparently someone did.]

* [[Insult Backfire]]: Brad loved ''Tron: Legacy'', so when [[The Spoony Experiment ~~(Web Video)~~|Spoony]] in his "Top 11 worst movies of 2010" list said that anyone who liked ''Tron: Legacy'' was "easily amused and has no standards", Brad had to respond in his top eleven favorite list.

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"|It is Prounounced Bruno Ma-TAY]]: not Bruno Ma-TIE.

* [[I Wished You Were Dead]]: At the end of ''Beware: Children at play'' when the parents surround the kidnapped and brainwashed children the Snob shouts the kids are clearly evil and should be killed. When the parents proceed to do just that for the last 5 minutes of the movie, [[Delayed Reaction|the Snob goes to his computer, places an order on e-Bay, waits for it to arive, unpacks his new plastic bucket and pukes in it]]. Then he shouts "I was fucking kiding!"

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.

* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: The real Brad Jones is very gracious towards his fans and generally seems like a nice person, and frequently does reviews as himself, instead of being in-character as The Cinema Snob. Much of the time, it's easy to mistake the Snob's opinions as Brad's own, even though the Snob himself is an exaggerated [[Caustic Critic]], and Brad frequently finds himself writing hateful reviews for movies he actually likes.

** Brad specifically mentions that "Snobbing" his favourite movie of all time, ''[[Caligula]]'', was particularly heartbreaking.

Line 390:

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: When describing the new ''[[The Expendables|Expendables]]'' movie:

{{quote| "This is the funniest scene in the movie. It's not ''supposed'' to be."}}

* [[Narrowed It Down to ~~The~~ Guy I Recognize]]: [[In-Universe]], His review of ''Pieces'' has the Snob figuring out the identity of the killer simply because he recognizes an actor from other movies.

Line 440:

* [[Overly Narrow Superlative]]: ''Elves'', "the world's only Christmas-Elf-Incest-Nazi-Occult film."

** ''Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies'' is the best Zombie-Confederates movie.

** When reviewing a Sasquatch porno called ''The Geek'', he despaired that "not only would 'Sascrotch' be a better title, but it would be an ''amazing'' title!"

** ''Brad Tries...'' - ''[[Newhart]]''

** ''80's Dan'' - Probably the most obscure of all, this one is from a [[James D Parriot]]/[[Universal]] cop show called ''Hawaiian Heat''. It ran on [[ABC]] in 1984 and flopped horribly.

Line 471:

** The ''[[Manimal]]'' theme is Brad's personal theme song, complete with the "Manimal!" and panther growl.

** Lloyd's theme music is the goofy Troll music from ''Troll 3'' (the Ator sequel). Yes, the cat has a theme song.

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: 80s Dan, in the ''Caligula'' review. [[Zig Zagging Trope|ZigZagged]] in that he disappears when the Snob realizes his show doesn't exist, then when 80s Dan returns on "Brad Tried New Coke" and not even Brad knows who he is.

* [[Reviews Are the Gospel]]: He says the probable reason ''[[Pink Flamingos]]'' was requested so much was [[Roger Ebert]]'s [[Broke the Rating Scale|zero star]] review. Then he sees other zero star movies:

{{quote| "''[[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]]''? I like that! Guess I have to hate it now!}}

** If this movie doesn't end with [reference to another, similar film], I'm gonna be pissed!

Line 498:

* [[Shallow Parody]]: [[In-Universe|His other main complaint]] with ''Super Hornio Bros'', specifically when Porno Mario is called "Squeegee" and Porno Luigi is "Ornio".

* [[Sharp-Dressed Man]]: The Snob, though Brad frequently wears suits in real life too. He once filmed a vlog after going to a water park with friends wearing a t-shirt, a bathing suit, and his suit jacket.

** It is said that Brad modeled his distinctive sense of style on his idol, [[George Lazenby]]. According to [[The Spoony Experiment ~~(Web Video)~~|Spoony]], the suit jacket is his "armor".

** The title card for "Brad Tries Beaver" has [[The Angry Beavers|Norbert and Daggett]].

* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''The Big Box'', ''Kung Tai Ted'' and ''Softly From Cable'' are TV shows in The Cinema Snob's universe.

* [[Smart People Wear Glasses]]: It's not unusual for Brad to remove his glasses and then replace them with his larger Snob glasses. It's also the only thing he does in the [[Lock and Load Montage]] scene in [[Kickassia]].

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Given that the Snob tends to review exploitation films, his delightfully upbeat theme song often plays over images of horrific violence. One episode actually opened with the Snob questioning "[[Lampshade Hanging|why is my theme song so fucking happy]]?"

** Also done in homage to ''[[A Clockwork Orange (~~Film~~)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' when the Snob says that only one thing that could make a murder scene in ''Island of Death'' more disturbing, then plays "Singin' In The Rain" over it.

** The Snob doesn't quite know what to make of the tender piano score played over the necrophilia scenes in ''Nekromantik.''

** Lampshaded again with ''Cannibal Ferox'''s funk soundtrack. "No. ''No''. I'm not in the mood for the music. I'm fucking ''pissed off''!" ''(starts [[Hypocritical Humor|bobbing his head]] to the beat)''

** Subverted immediately by Kung Tai Ted materializing out of nowhere and punching the Snob.

Line 529:

** ''[[Mr. T]]: Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool'' has such gems as, "If you have a gold allergy, best go home because you can't be anybody, much less ''some''body", "When you forget your pants, just take off ''more'' clothes!", and "Maybe I, too, can one day star in my own tampon commercial".

** ''[[Bibleman]]'': "If you get in danger, do ''nothing'', and God will smite [[The Spoony Experiment|Dr. Insano]]."

* [[The Stinger]]: In a tradition borrowed from [[~~MST3K~~]], the last seven seconds (approximately) of every review consists of one particularly embarrassing moment from the film.

* [[The Stinger]]: In a tradition borrowed from [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]], the last seven seconds (approximately) of every review consists of one particularly embarrassing moment from the film.

* [[Squee]]: This was the Snob's reaction to finding that there was another Pierre Kirby movie that he had not seen.

** Also, when he realizes that ''Extra-Terrestrial Visitors'' is actually ''[[Pod People]]'', his favorite [[Mystery Science Theater 3000]] film.

* [[Squick]]: [[In-Universe|His reaction]] to finding out the lead actress of ''Crazy Fat Ethel'' had been in a Seventies porno was just him saying "No" repeatedly while running away.

** Two words: "Child Bride". Not since ''A Serbian Film'' had Cinema Snob felt uneasy in reviewing a movie.

Line 537:

* [[Stable Time Loop]]: In [http://thecinemasnob.com/2010/05/09/video-violence-2.aspx Brad's review of Video Violence 2,] he gets a call from {{spoiler|the Cinema Snob of 2007 that just reviewed Video Violence 1, warning him not to review the second movie.

* [[Stealth Parody]]: If you were to watch a typical ''Cinema Snob'' review uninitiated, you would have no idea it was a parody. Perhaps for this reason, he's started doing out-of-character intros to his more recent reviews.

* [[Straw Fan]]: Has a letter-writing one that shows up occasionally. It's unknown if he's related to [[The Nostalgia Critic ~~(Web Video)~~|Douchey McNitpick]]

Line 580:

** The Snob's main complaint about ''Super Hornio Brothers''.

** When talking about The Asylum's ''Titanic II'', Brad starts talking about how a glacier melting was the catalyst for the ship sinking. At this point, he realises that was how ''[[Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus]]'' started, so the films could take place in the same universe. He immediately laments that they should have had the shark sink the Titanic II.
