The Nostalgia Chick/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

----

 

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: She got manipulated into sex with rapey!Spoony (she even says "oh God, not again" when she starts to realize what happened), she dates a lot of drunk guys, she has something going on with her very damaged [[Spear Counterpart]] and she has it bad for [[Stalker with a Crush]] [[Todd in the Shadows]]. Of course, she's not exactly "good" herself.

* [[All Take and No Give]]: With Nella.

** When Dr. Tease and Dr. Block corner her in the "Sexual Awakening" sketch about her hate of being called nerdy, she has to ask whether she's in-character or not.

* [[All Women Love Shoes]]: Yes, even ladettes like her. In the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' commentary, Lindsay talks about how wearing high heeled boots for the long shooting of the first year brawl turned out to be a bad idea.

* [[Bad Boss]]: She's abusive and demanding to her crew, not even being able to call them any more than humans, as well as being totally oblivious to any issues they might have.

** According to the ''Crossroads'' review, she threatens anyone who goes into her territory of talking about girly shit. [[Not So Different|Critic really has rubbed off on her.]]

* [[The Baroness]]: If a slightly more three-dimensional, pathetic, little-girl-like version of the trope.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Due to her inflated ego, she gets mighty upset whenever someone calls her a nerd (the real Lindsay is [[Proud to Be a Geek]]).

** Her character and real life self hate ''X Men III''. Lindsay even said in her and Nella's review of ''First Class'' that the Chick character came out of her fangirl heart dying from that movie.

** [[Glurge]] and [[Sequelitis]] have a tendency to drive her to madness.

** More seriously, she hates slut-shaming. This comes up in ''[[Cruel Intentions]]'' and much more rantily in ''[[Moulin Rouge]]''.

* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: She's proud of them, as is evidenced by her new facebook [http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.168000996573696.33798.167999883240474&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=319865988053862&set=a.168000996573696.33798.167999883240474&type=3&theater avatar].

* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]

* [[Blind Without'Em]]: She seems to wear contacts most of the time, because when the Makeover Fairy steals her glasses she whines that she can't see.

* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: In the earlier episodes.

* [[Brainy Brunette]]: Goes into parody territory in the "Kirk vs. Picard" video when she's reading books like "Making out in Arabic".

* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: "It's like they can see into my self-indulgent teenage mind!"

** In ''Spooning With Spoony'', she's basically forgotten about and asked if she's still there.

** The Todd-stalking storyline mostly involves her making a complete idiot out of herself. Sometimes, he can't even remember her name. Elisa confirms this on formspring, that there's no real "reason" for it except to highlight the Chick's pathetic characterization.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: She now fully admits to being a horrible person.

* [[The Cast Showoff]]: She's a trained soprano and she deeply enjoys showing this fact off.

** "Hi, I'm your Nostalgia Chick. I remember it, because the dudes don't." This was abandoned and now it's "(Hi,) I'm your Nostalgia Chick, {{[[[Mad Libs Catchphrase]] situationally relevant comment}}]".

** [[Running Gag|"PUPPIES!!!"]]

** "Movie? Hey, movie?"

** Whenever Teenage!Chick is seen, she'll be saying "[something mainstream] doesn't understand my pain."

* [[Celibate Hero]]: Against her will. ''[[Grease]] II'' and "The Top Ten Songs About Fucking" have her almost exploding in sexual frustration. She got over it by using Todd as a [[Captive Date]].

* [[Character Blog]]: Her [[Facebook]] (the official group page, not Lindsay's real one) can sometimes serve as this, especially her [[Stalker with a Crush|obsession]] with Todd.

** Although she still finds it hard, she's getting better at admitting when she enjoys something.

** She appears to have eventually made her peace with being [[Not So Different]] to the Critic.

* [[Disappointed in You]]: She's not angry at the nineties for their bad nostalgia, just very disappointed.

* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: She is very aware of her status as such to [[The Nostalgia Critic]] and has [[Lampshaded]] it more than once, even quoting the trope name at one point.

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: She keeps getting DBTS throughout her ''[[Labyrinth]]'' review thanks to [[David Bowie]], and ends up spending about half of her review staring slack-jawed at <s> Bowie's package</s> the screen.

* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Another case of the character being a [[Hypocrite]]. She calls out movies and pop music for treating guys badly, but she's a [[Bastard Girlfriend]] to the usual guys in her life and it's been established that she hates the gender because Todd keeps rejecting her. There [[Freudian Excuse|are]] [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|other]] [[Weakness Turns Her On|reasons]], but that's the most extreme. (And again, the real Lindsay is nothing like this.)

* [[Dogged Nice Guy|Dogged Nice Gal]]: [[Todd in the Shadows]] is always ignoring her pleas. {{spoiler|On Twitter and their movie vlogs, [[Ship Tease|it's a whole different matter.]]}}

* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: She usually does, but she takes her [[Sex Bot]]'s sarcastic suggestion of using a portal to get to Nella seriously. And it works too!

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: The next episode after the major breakdown in SWS was "Top 11 Embarrassing Nostalgic Dance Crazes" where manic grins and Nella abuse abounded. A long time later, in the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' review, she flinches when they spend a second at Spoony's place.

** In ''[[X-Men]]'', the episode after Nella dies, she suddenly loses her near-to-tears tone of voice when Dr. Tease arrives.

** She doesn't fare too well with "The Christmas Shoes" either.

** The stupidity of the [[Roland Emmerich]] films makes her go [[Motor Mouth]] and forces her to wonder why she spends her life reviewing shitty stuff.

** A small one comes from [[Taylor Swift]]'s vapid song "You Belong With Me" being played over and over:

{{quote|'''Chick''': '''Enough!'''}}

** In ''[[Xanadu]]'' the BLAM sign turned against her and drove her crazy.

** The octopus in ''[[Peter Pan]] II'' makes her scream "'''HAAAATE'''" over and over.

* [[Drowning My Sorrows]]: It's implied that she drinks herself to sleep. And of course there's her way of dealing with ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]''.

* [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma]]: Giggling while stroking the Critic's neck after she chloroformed him didn't exactly [[Ship Tease|disinvite]] ideas. It's even implied that she's done this quite a few times, or at least enough for him to know right away it was her when he sees the rag.

** Even though she hates Kirk, even she thinks his [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]] death is horribly undignified.

** Despite her fear of kids, she's disgusted by the adults in ''The Christmas Shoes'' making the child work ''when his mom is dying'' and parents being okay with bad TV babysitting their crotch-dumplings.

** She gets to be on the other end of this when Elisa and Critic express disgust at her liking Scooby-Doo.

** Also during ''[[Kickassia]]'', although that was a wig.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone Calls Her Chick]]: Except for Nella and Elisa, nobody calls her by her real name.

* [[Female Misogynist]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. "I don't know how we stand us."

* [[Femininity Failure]]

** As lampshaded by Lindsay in the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' commentary, Critic squirming either literally or metaphorically gets the Chick way too excited.

** She's greatly disappointed when Shang (i.e "the only hot guy in the [[Mulan|movie]]") leaves the crossdressing to the side comedic male characters instead.

** Bondage. She trades a lot of dommy innuendo with Spoony when she ties him up for their IRiff, and kidnaps Todd regularly to try and invoke [[Abduction Is Love]].

** Softcore porn from Cinemax is her [[Guilty Pleasure]].

* [[Fluffy Fashion Feathers]]: Has a white feather boa she wore in the myths of Chanukah video and the first part of the ''[[Showgirls]]'' review, and another one worn in the Critic's ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' crossover.

{{quote|"Boa fight!"}}

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Inverted. While emotional and sexual abuse, bullying in high school and feeling lonely at home are good explanations for why she is the way she is, she shows flashbacks of her being a smackable, bratty [[Emo Teen]] in equal amounts to the [[Dark and Troubled Past]] stuff.

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: She shoots lasers out of her eyes and gleefully hurts Nella's shoulder at the end of the video on Dance Crazes. This useful ability has never come up again.

* [[Fur and Loathing]]: Of the [[Rich Bitch]] variety. She's a vegetarian, but showed up for her [[Class Reunion]] in a limo and wearing fur.

* [[Genki Girl]]: When Dr. Tease doses her up on [[Truth Serum]].

* [[Going Commando]]: She doesn't wear a bra a lot of the time. Not for [[Fan Service]] reasons, just because the character's a slob.

* [[Gold Digger]]: She follows the path of Eartha Kitt, Madonna and Kylie Minogue and sings about putting out for Santa. Grad school's expensive, y'know.

** Another small one happens when she sees the Spaniard frog...ette in ''[[Thumbelina]]'':

{{quote|'''Chick''': I mean, really, FROGS SHOULD NOT BE IN HEELS!}}

** She doesn't react well to ''[[Shark Tale]]''. Like, at all. Even a minute of the movie gets her begging [[Will Smith]] to get out of there while he still can.

** The slowed down version of the Chipmunks "All I Want For Christmas" did... something weird to her brain.

** The ''[[Psycho]]'' strings play when she tries to get her head around "Everybody got AIDS and shit!".

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Her jealousy over Lupa getting Todd's "affection" is enough to turn her into a [[Knife Nut]] and try to [[Murder the Hypotenuse]].

* [[Green Eyes]]: While she tries to keep it down, [[Not So Above It All|oh how she tries]], she has a temper and we saw in ''[[Kickassia]]'' that she's not exactly trustworthy.

* [[I Can't Dance]]: Lindsay can, but the Chick dancing is adorably goofy.

* [[Iconic Item]]: Used to be her bowtie, but now her [[Girlish Pigtails]]. When Lindsay's doing her vlogs or just wants to be out of character (either truly or just the Chick outside of doing reviews... [[Alter Ego Acting]] is complicated), she'll have her hair down or tied up in a different way.

** There are times during the Dark Nella Saga where she's so close to realizing how she's treated her friend, but she never fully gets it.

** When claiming she's constantly busy but is really just writing hearts and Todd's name in a notebook, she has a brief moment of clarity and hopes she's not being too creepy. She's got worse since then.

** After being able to hear guy thoughts for a while, she has a short moment of believing she'll now be able to respect them and not objectify them anymore. She snorts at the very thought of it.

** At the end of the ''[[Transformers]]'' review. Just a little bit "bad touch" there, Chick.

** She looks even more delighted when she has Todd taped to a chair in her apartment.

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: While manipulative, able to slip out of trouble easier and a much more credible threat than the Critic, she's just as pitiful, childish and likable.

* [[In Vino Veritas]]: Those pesky depressive emotions come out and get turned [[Up to Eleven]] when she's wasted.

** Even when Nella is fighting off possession for her, all she can think about is the insult of being called nerdy.

** In ''[[The Craft]]'', the movie has "Protect you from harm against others and harm against yourself" to bind the crazycakes witch. Her version of it is "Protect you from harm against others and harm against ''myself''."

'''Nella:''' [Slopes away like a beaten dog.] }}

** According to her ''Grease'' review, she made the [[Sarah Palin]] wig by stealing hair from a hobo. We can only hope it wasn't Chester.

** She manages a few seconds of shock when learning Chicago got destroyed (i.e Critic's dead) before going back to normal and claiming she never liked the city anyway.

** Happily making Nella do her dishes when Nella had just speechified how she was going to treat her friends with more respect.

** Her trying not to laugh when Todd is crying and having a [[The One That Got Away]] breakdown. Out-of-verse, it's Lindsay giggling at her boy's acting, in-verse it makes the Chick look even more like a sociopath.

* [[Kids Shouldn't Watch Horror Films]]: How completely terrifying her child self found the shoe-killing-by-dip scene in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' has come up a few times.

** In the early days, she was a condescending [[Insufferable Genius]]. Later on, she became more like this; an obsessive, still condescending know-it-all, but totally oblivious and it's been hinted that she's not as smart as she thinks she is.

** In a stealth [[Take That]], she gets her definition of [[MacGuffin]] from [[George Lucas]], the bastion of credibility and dignity. She also has the same degree as him.

** Showcased in the ''[[X-Men]]'' review. First the Chick as we know her tells Dr. Tease that she knows everything, but on [[Truth Serum]] she admits to the show confusing her "stupid kid mind" a lot.

** She gets one when she's faced with ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' in her ''[[Thumbelina]]'' review, and couples this with a [[Psychotic Smirk]] when she reminds the Critic he went into her territory and did ''[[Red Sonja]]''.

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Which makes her rare [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|Aw Look She Really Does Care About Critic/Nella/Mignon]] moments all the sweeter.

* [[Loners Are Freaks]]: Nella and Elisa have the misguided notion that she's lonely and freakish because she can't stand ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''.

* [[Long Hair Is Feminine]]: Before the character cemented as a [[The Ladette|ladette]] with [[Girlish Pigtails]] constantly in the same place, most of the time she had ''really'' long hair with the pigtails much lower.

* [[Lovable Coward]]: Chick, honey, just ignore the red-eyed pony demon if she freaks you out that much.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: While she usually just takes what she wants with fighting and chloroform (just ask the Critic), with Todd she's mostly a fawning fangirl who can't take a hint.

* [[Mad Love]]: Have a guess [[Todd in the Shadows|who]] she's been made mad over.

* [[Madonna-Whore Complex]]: Gender-flipped. [[Todd in the Shadows]] is the man she worships to insane degrees, ignoring all his flaws and thinking he'll fix her. [[The Nostalgia Critic]] is the guy who jacks off a stick of butter, sings about the virtues of sluttiness and who she has a comfortable history with but shares her damage.

* [[Madness Mantra]]: [[Showgirls|Everybody got AIDS and shit!]] and "[[Disney Animated Canon|Nobody]] [[Dreamworks Animation|likes]] [[Shark Tale|puns]]".

* [[Mama Bear]]: She still has no respect for children, but she'll be on their side if the adults in their lives are bad enough. She's fully in the trope for animals, however.

* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: She shows some most excellent qualities of this, especially in ''[[Kickassia]]''. It didn't quite work out, but she never got punished and even got her favorite game as a present from Santa Christ.

* [[Noble Bigot]]: Not in the usual meaning of the word "noble", but best showcased the review of ''[[Wild Wild West]]''. Lindsay needs to make feminist and anti-racism points while the Chick needs to remain her terribly racist and sexist self, so the two viewpoints will be meshed to create the trope.

* [[No Social Skills]]

** With the Critic, especially in the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' review. He's just as bad though.

** In a less consenty fashion, a lot of ''[[From Justin To Kelly]]'' is her hanging onto Todd while he looks like he wants to die.

* [[Not Good with People]]: She really sucks when it comes to humans, but she does genuinely seem to love her puppy (even though she's pathetic enough to call her a name that means "minion") and needed therapy when a cat she had got run over.

* [[Not So Above It All]]: One of her defining traits.

** It doesn't take long for the [[Homoerotic Subtext|gayness]] of ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|He-Man]]'' to break her condescending "progressiveness" down.

** In ''[[Mulan]]'': "Oh no, this musical number... it's just so hard not to sing along with... LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS."

{{quote|'''Chick''': [looking guilty] I'm sure that's maybe part of it.}}

** In ''[[The Fifth Element]]'', she does spreading-arms move Leeloo and the singer do before looking around embarrassed.

** The crowning example happened at the end of [[The Little Mermaid]], where after spending an episode hating on it, she can't resist singing along to "Part Of Your World".

** In the ''[[X-Men]]'' review, with the help of Dr. Tease, she fangirls the show hard even though she "grew out of that years ago".

** Due to their similar [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] humor and some of the more... icky aspects she's revealed of her personal life, there's a few similarities to Ask That Guy too.

** Elisa said on formspring that Dr. Tease wants to take the Chick down on the road of evil science because she sees herself in her.

** "Spooning With Spoony". It was the first time where her [[Broken Bird|issues]] came up and she's never been that emotionally open ever again.

** The first time Dark Nella put her in the fridge was the only moment in the saga where she was actually scared. But by the next review (which likely took place only an hour or so later), she's just confused.

** When she calls the Critic in the [[Roland Emmerich]] two-parter but finds he's dead and the city's been destroyed, there's a brief but visible look of horror on her face before she [[Kick the Dog|Kicks The Dog]].

* [[Not That There's Anything Wrong with That]]: Uses the trope both in the context of furries and [[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|gayness]].

* [[Obliviously Evil]]: It depends on who she's with if she realizes what she's doing to hurt them or not.

* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Well she ''was'', but [[Characterization Marches On|characterization marching on]] had an effect on her sanity.

** ''[[Shark Tale]]'' and the horrendous rapping in ''[[Sister Act]] II'' had her tearfully begging the movies to stop. The latter even had [[Please, I Will Do Anything!]], and she's ''never'' done that before.

* [[Oral Fixation Fixation]]: She chews on a pen in ''[[Grease]] II'', and moves to bite a phallic piece of food whenever she's really got it bad for a guy. ([[Todd in the Shadows|Unlike]] [[Lord Kat|the]] [[Atop the Fourth Wall|boys]] [[The Nostalgia Critic|however]], we don't see her [[Erotic Eating]].)

* [[Sir Swearsalot|Madam Swears A Lot]]: Although the word "fuck" is always bleeped out now for [[Rule of Funny]] reasons.

* [[Narcissist]]: Self-obsessed, wants to control everyone, manipulative, chronically low self-esteem so she desperately needs to be admired, [[Lack of Empathy]], a slacker, doesn't like to admit when she's wrong, not as smart as she thinks she is, easily depressed and had a dismal childhood.

* [[Never My Fault]]: The only time she's apologized to Nella is when she's about to manipulate her.

** While we don't know who the ex is, she sees nothing wrong with still spying on them at night while they sleep.

** She also has cameras scattered about Nella's apartment (including in the bathroom), and at Nella's parents' house.

** At the end of her ''[[Ever After (film)|Ever After]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony]]'' reviews, she affectionately (and rightfully) shows us that she thinks Nella is adorable.

** Despite abusing him just as much as he did her, she still petted the Critic when he was crying during their ''[[Fern Gully]]'' review.

* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: Usually the lighting makes her seem quite tanned, but you can see her looking pale and pretty in the ''[[Song of the South]]'' and ''[[The Lorax (film)|The Lorax]]'' reviews.

* [[The Resenter]]: How she's turned [[Let's See You Do Better]] into a character trait - it's ''fun'' to bitch at people with a lot more success than you'll ever have

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Nella's red

* [[Rich Bitch]]: She's surprisingly shallow.

* [[The Sociopath]]: She has no empathy, is self-centered, doesn't know or care about social norms, uses manipulation and threats to get her way, only rarely shows remorse for her actions and has very little regard for personal boundaries. She also crosses over with [[Narcissist]] due to criminal lack of self-esteem.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: She has a talent for using flowery explanations some of the time and at others, swearing or using rape analogies to describe how awful it is.

* [[Spy Catsuit]]: In her trying on clothes montage in ''Thanks For The Feedback III'', she tries on a catsuit and [[Plain Jane|thinks]] she looks bad.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: Her obsession with Todd is driving her around the bend and Nella's rightfully freaked out when she finds Chick's put cameras in her bedroom and bathroom.

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Or at least she thinks so.

* [[Sweater Girl]]: She has a few nice low cut v-necks in her wardrobe.

* [[The Thing That Would Not Leave]]: After Nella kicks her out "for some reason", she drives [[Jew Wario]] crazy and refuses to leave. She even brains him with a game console so he could stop annoying her.

** She finally got a [http://www.facebook.com/toddintheshadows?sk=wall&filter=1#!/toddintheshadows/posts/327090030645107 date with Todd]. Lessened considerably by how much she had to get him wasted, but she's happy about the possibility of "[[Date Rape|blurred judgments and drunken regrets]]".

** A nicer one happens in ''[[Newsies]]''. When the Chick is heartbroken and alone on the beach after thinking Nella is completely dead, the original (and very wet) Nella comes out of the sea to give her a glomp. And as an extra bonus? Dark Nella was a clone, so [[Hannibal Has a Point|she doesn't have to change]].

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Obscurus Lupa's Girly Girl.

* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: She spends most of the Dark Nella saga being completely oblivious and just not getting anything, even if it's right in her face. Like the jerkass example below, this isn't a bad thing and makes her more fun.

* [[Tsundere]]: Tsun towards Critic ([[Jerkass Woobie|who deserves it]]) and deredere towards [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] when she was flirting with him. [[Butt Monkey|Nella]] can trigger either mood. Todd used to be bitched at for his music taste, but she's traded that in for constant fawning over him.

** ''Enchanted Christmas'' gives her a bad case of this.

** Defied in her review of ''The Christmas Shoes''. As she doesn't have the facial muscle control to read out the lyrics, she hands it over to [[Patton Oswalt]].

* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: Unless it's an arc, she'll rarely wear the same thing twice.

* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] on his "Hotel Awesome" series.

* [[Unsettling Gender Reveal]]: As is his [[Jerkass|way]], Ask That Guy claims on the ''[[Kickassia]]'' DVD that she used to be "Nostalgia Chuck".

* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: She had ponies until she sold them for girly stuff, had a lonely home-life but quite a few friends at school, loved the dragon in ''[[Dragonheart]]'' because he was honorable and wanted a fairytale wedding when she was six. A fair cry from the abusive, bitter cynic we know today.

* [[Vocal Evolution]]: Her voice is lower, throatier and almost constantly tinged with cynicism, rather than the higher, girlier voice of her early days.

* [[Waistcoat of Style]]: Has one in her reviews of ''[[Spice World]]'' and ''[[Song of the South]]''.

** Although she doesn't want to help them, she likes making them weaker. She squees that she wants to tie up "baby Christian Bale" when fangirling over him.

** Jareth telling Sarah he'll be her slave in ''[[Labyrinth]]'' is a really sweet deal and the Chick gets pissed at her for refusing.

* [[White Collar Worker]]: Before this job, she worked at an office and had a [[Girl Posse]] bitch about her behind her back.

* [[Who's Laughing Now?]]: Tried and failed, judging by how she says the revenge fantasy of showing up to your [[Class Reunion]] in a limo, wearing furs and weighing forty pounds lighter doesn't actually show people up in reality.

* [[Woman of a Thousand Voices]]: While not doing it as much as Doug, she's good at impressions and enjoys doing them.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: She has a love/hate thing going on with Disney. Also with [[Michael Bay]], even it includes a lot more hate than love.

** In-site, Oancitizen. They actually get on quite well (maybe because they both see themselves as above everyone else), but even though she likes using him as a punching bag, he'll call her out on being lazy and condescending.

* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: When the Critic shows up to bitch at her for reviewing ''[[Transformers]]'', she acts all pouty and co-operative so she can back him into a corner by reminding him he did ''[[Red Sonja]]''.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Although she draws the line at [[Shotacon]] and guys who don't fit her version of hotness. One of the reasons why she likes ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'' so much is the [[Foe Yay]] between Basil and Rattigan.

* [[Yandere]]: She's willing to knife Lupa to defend Todd from her "insults" and destroy the competition.

** In the "Top Ten Songs About Fucking", Todd gives in to spending time with her (mostly out of boredom), she puts on "Reproduction" from ''[[Grease]] II'' as seduction music and he runs away to iron his dog. Cue pissed off [[Entitled to Have You]] mode.

** In "Sleepless In Seattle vs. When Harry Met Sally", she steals Todd's phone and manages to manipulate him into going on a date with her to the Empire State Building. But then he finds it and walks off (still tied up), leaving her to sulk.

 

=== BFF Nella ===

 

* [[Adult Child]]: Especially when [[My Little Pony|My Little Ponies]] are involved. It's all part of her charm.

* [[Black Best Friend]]: She's adopted. ''Fo' shizzle''.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: When she and Chick first meet, she's confident, professional and backhandedly insulting ("I see I have my work cut for me.") while the Chick is shy as hell. Fast forward to the second half of "Dreamworks Vs. Disney" and she's near to tears when the Chick is mean to her.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: She gets a large bit of it. A "Thanks For The Feedback!" video even jokes that Nella plays this role to make a living.

* [[The Caretaker]]: She's the one who gets the Chick out of her beer and cheetos binge and back to work.

* [[Designated Monkey]]: "Dance, monkey!"

* [[The Drag Along]]: She ''really'' doesn't want to embarrass herself with dancing in public.

{{quote|'''Chick''': "How did you get in here? ...Why are you on this coast?" }}

* [[Extreme Doormat]]: She'd do ''anything'' for the Chick, although this has lessened since the Dark Nella saga.

* [[Not So Above It All]]: As Lindsay lampshaded on the commentary, she acts much more petty and bratty than usual in the "Kirk vs. Picard" debate.

* [[Only Friend]]: Even worse? Even though she loves her, she gets ''paid'' to be the Chick's friend. Ouch.

* [[Token Good Teammate]]

* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: [[In-Universe]], Nella has a thing for Diana Rigg.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to the Nostalgia Chick's blue

* [[Sidekick]]: The most straightforward and prominent example on all of [[That Guy With The Glasses]].

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Even she realizes Chick and Critic have a lot in common, and this was way back before they both got much more jaded.

** Played a little more fucked up when Dark Nella completely and utterly destroys the Critic and his home/city before the Chick can even talk to him.

After Nella's death at the hands of a ladder, she was {{spoiler|cloned and}} resurrected by a quasi-demonic intergalactic force of evil and {{spoiler|the clone}} became Dark Nella, who Won't Take Lindsay's Shit any longer.

 

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Wears a long black leather coat, one of the clear signs of evil Nella [[Foreshadowing|warned Team NChick about]] in "Inside the NChick Labs".

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: a self-described "quasi-demonic intergalactic force of evil".

* [[Excessive Evil Eyeshadow]]: How the Chick realizes that she's now evil.

* [[Hannibal Has a Point]]: The Chick treated her like shit and really is a pitiful waste of space. But because Dark Nella's a clone and "not the real Nella", everyone's favorite sociopath doesn't have to change. Yay!

* [[Cosmic Horror|Quasi-Demonic Intergalactic Horror]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]/[[Psycho Electro]]: The trailer shows her shocking Lord [[MacGuffin]] and Dr. Tease with a "[[Star Wars|Force Lightning]]"-type power.

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]

* [[The Undead]]

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: She takes time out of her busy schedule to lounge by a pool and get some sun.

 

* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Dr. Tease implanted a chip that suppresses all memory of her past life, including her beloved and yet deceased husband.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Thanks to Dr. Tease's chip.

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Moment Killer]]: Her name ''is'' Dr. Cock Block.

* [[Punny Name]]: '''Coch'''ram Block.

* [[Put on a Bus]]: [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|But not in space.]]

One of the Chick's friends, pressed into a supporting role in the videos when the video needs someone who isn't Nella, another TGWTG contributor, evil, or particularly crazy.

 

 

* [[Adult Child]]: Her room is filled with ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'' dolls and cuddly toys.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: She has, to date, been chased by the Christmas Shoes, had to portray Kyle MacLachlan while P-Cash gave her an unenthusiastic lapdance while he was reading a book, and (as the Makeover Fairy) had a nervous breakdown trying to give Nella and Todd makeovers.

* [[Fag Hag]]: Although she doesn't fit the trope exactly, she is a bit of a fangirl for Beef from [[Phantom of the Paradise]], but who wouldn't be?

* [[Girl with Psycho Weapon]]: She strangles Paw with a scarf and stabs him in the crotch twice with a dart for "killing" her stuffed animal.

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: How attractive the other characters think she is depends on the joke - the Chick ignored her for every female role in the ''Showgirls'' review, but she was one of Lindsay's hotter friends in "Thanks For The Feedback".

* [[Broken Bird]]: Getting her agitated and crying is ridiculously easy.

* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Unlike Elisa's normal voice and the suave tone she uses for Dr. Tease, the Makeover Fairy is rather shrill and screechy.

* [[The Fair Folk]]

* [[Fairy Sexy]]

* [[The Fashionista]]

* [[Giggling Villain]]

* [[Leitmotif]]: The "Makeover" song from ''[[Clone High]]''.

* [[Nervous Wreck]]

* [[Retool]]: [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara's]] review of ''[[NB Comics]] #1'' turns her into "Makeover Fairy, P.I."

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: She's what the Chick would have been like if she was consumed with the need to be happy, popular and girly.

* [[Slasher Smile]]

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: She's very upbeat and cheerful, but when thing don't go to plan it starts seeming forced, with desperation and panic seeping through. When she can't get Nella or Todd looking "right", she has a [[Villainous Breakdown]].

* [[Unnecessary Makeover]]: Parodied and invoked in the ''Grease'' review, as she resorts to ever more desperate measures to make Nella look presentable. The [[Fan Dumb]] [[White Knighting|went crazy]] and it had to be explained over and over again that [[Self-Deprecation|Nella actually wrote the thing]] and Lindsay is a [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|Mean Character, Nice Actress]].

* [[The Tease]]: Hell, it's even stated in her name.

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Dr Block's the tomboy, she is the girly girl.

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: [[Welshy]] manages to defeat her with a picture of an adorable puppy.

 

Elisa at night. ''Major'' vampire fangirl and wannabe goth. Doesn't want to get a job. A pain in the Chick's ass.

* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: Even in-universe, she's really just Elisa's character indulging her pretentious vampire fangirl side.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: She can be sweet and lovable when she wants to, but she selfishly ruined the Chick's computer with a virus, has admitted to doing horrible things and beats on Dan with Lindsay just because he drank some beer that didn't belong to him.

* [[Compassionate Critic]]: She complains because she loves, and even that's sprinkled amidst the fangirling.

* [[Clones Are People, Too]]: By a "freak accident of science", she's a clone of Dr. Tease.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: She might be the hammiest of Elisa's characters, but still has her moments.

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: She has a girl-crush on Lily Cole.

* [[Hair of Gold]]: To show off her childishness.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Fairly gullible and flighty, she's still genuinely good at analyzing the crap out of something.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: She doesn't realize the appeal of cat-suits, long gloves, low cut dresses and corsets.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Her obsession for vampires is why she's doing the show in the first place.

* [[Not a Morning Person]]: Being a wannabe vampire and all, she's almost totally nocturnal.

'''Lord [[MacGuffin]]''': The Spice must flow.

'''Nostalgia Chick''': See... I don't understand what you mean. See that's my problem with this movie in general is the fact that-

* [[Nice Hat]]: A propeller beanie.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: He really is just doing his job.

 

=== Brian the Sexual Predator ===

 

* [[Anything That Moves]]: Hit on P-Cash, and left DNA in poor little Mignon.

* [[Domestic Abuser]]

* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Poor Nella.

 

=== P-Cash ===

 

* [[Cool Shades]]: He never takes them off.

 

=== Tammy ===

 

* [[A-Cup Angst]]: She gets bashed by Nella for being flat-chested in the [[Flame War]] caused by the ''Wii Fit''.

* [[Gamer Chick]]: In contrast to the lazy Chick and Nella.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

 

 

* [[Aloof Ally]]: To be fair to her, the Chick and The Makeover Fairy didn't give her much reasons to like them.

* [[Goth]]

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]

[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]

 

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: "Why was I programmed against suicide?"

* [[Tin Can Robot]]

* [[Token Good Teammate]]: Took the role when Nella is dead. He could have left his abusive mistress in the fridge but he got her out anyway.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: His last appearance was in the Dark Nella saga, leaving people to assume he did actually get what he [[Death Seeker|wanted]].

 

* [[Moment Killer]]: She bounces up whenever she feels like it, the situation be damned.

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Any time a fellow contributor sees her, they have no choice but to cuddle her.

 

=== Fred the Bear ===

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He's usually able to deal with his situation pretty well.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Remember that Gallery of Ancient Horrors Video (Lindsay's old school project). Remember that guy in the video. That's him.

* [[Pretty Boy]]: Even if they can't remember him, Chick was his girlfriend in high school and Maven liked him enough to want to suck his blood. However they're more than willing to smash his face in for drinking their beer.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: In real life, he's very sweet and fiercely protective of his ladyfriends.
