* [[Base Breaker]]: See [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] below. Check the comments for many videos Nella appears in and you'll find plenty that lament her getting screen time.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Between a long drought of videos, Lindsay posted one in the Summer of 2010... aboard the New York City V subway train with a rowdy crowd of college students celebrating its last trip before MTA killed that train line! Most viewers were perplexed, to say the least. It didn't help that, yes, she never spoke of it again.

* [[Broken Base]]: Usually between those who prefer the style of her newer reviews - i.e. the ones featuring the supporting cast and based more around analysing tropes - and those who liked the linear reviews she originally put out.

* [[Discredited Meme]]: In her Villainesses countdown, the [[101 Dalmatians|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]] have to stare at her sadly before she gives in and yells her "PUPPIES!" catchphrase. The [[Running Gag]] was put to death after that.

* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: In her second "Thanks For The Feedback" video, she made a music video featuring [[Black Comedy Rape|a rap song about rape]]. The video was almost universally reviled as being in poor taste, and has since been taken down. Although not for that reason; [[Word of God]] says that she wasn't happy with the edit and didn't want it to be put up anyway.

** Yes, okay, [[Interquel|Interquels]] are pretty bad... but was it really necessary to compare the ''Enchanted Christmas'' movie to multiple holocausts?

** While the backlash was much bigger when the Critic made his joke, her comment about "autistic temper tantrums" got people rather angry.

** While the majority loved both episodes for [[Refuge in Audacity]], there was a certain [[Yaoi Fangirl|section]] of the fanbase that ''hated'' her for coming up with the idea of the [[Het Is Ew|first]] "Spooning With Spoony".

** Even though she made fun of this attitude ''herself'' in ''[[Kickassia]]'', they also seem to think that she has the very worst [[Hate Dumb]] and she only gets criticized because she's female. While the shit-stirring trolls ''do'' go for sexism with her, everyone on TGWTG gets threats and creepiness and other nasty things. It just shows that they think she's a woman to be protected first and a person (who can so clearly look after herself) second.

** She gets ''very'' angry when Critic fanboys tell her she needs to stay in her territory and not review "boy stuff" like the ''[[X-Men]]'' cartoon.

** Many [[Goth|goths]] weren't amused by the jokes in her review of ''[[The Craft]]'', forgetting the fact that A) She's comedian first and foremost, telling jokes is her job, and B) She was less making fun of actual goth culture than the silliness of the movie.

** She's made two abortion jokes, one in ''Grease'' about coat hangers and the other in ''Showgirls'' about pushing the pregnant woman down the stairs. Even though she can joke about whatever the hell she wants, people didn't like these because of her own abortion about half a year prior.

** There are some who yell at [[Todd in the Shadows]] because they have no idea why he'd reject her. As hypocritical and assy as he is, she's a (hilarious) [[Stalker with a Crush]] who can't take a hint and if he doesn't want her, then he doesn't want her. Simplez, yes?

** Apparently ''[[Disney]]'' fangirls can be just as savage as fanboys, because they got their claws out when she ''reviewed'' ([[Fan Dumb|not panned, we might add]]) ''[[Mulan]]'' and slammed ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]''

*** Notably, Lindsay's actual opinion of Hercules sums up to "It was flawed, but I DO enjoy it."

** During her review of ''[[The Man in the Iron Mask (1998 film)|The Man in the Iron Mask]]'' she said the only reason the movie did well was because of squeeing [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] fangirls. People who liked the movie as a movie were not pleased.

** ''[[The Fifth Element]]''. Many people think she really misrepresented this film, especially when she didn't show Leeloo kicking ass so she could complain about her being [[The Chick]].

** Really, the Chick is subject to this far more often than the Critic, since she tends to review films that are usually rather well-liked, such as... Well, ''[[Mulan]]'', ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' and ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'', while the Critic reviews, well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHNztg0X3s This]. She explains this in the ''Worst Witch'' review, as people tend to be more forgiving towards the popular films rather the obscure.

** Many fans of ''Jem'' were very angry at Lindsy for her panning the series, the biggest complaint came from her not even bothering to watch the series entirely before she reviewed it.

** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small [[Take That]] to [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]] as [[They Just Didn't Care|"Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it"]] as [[The Lion King]] in her review of The Lion King.
