Critic Breakdown | comment |
Sometimes, a piece of 'entertainment' is so excruciatingly awful, so mind-numbingly boring or appalling, the only way that a critic or reviewer can find to fend off those considering seeing or playing it out of perverse curiosity is to... well, massively, comically over-react. Don't just pan the film; walk out of the theater in disgust, in as dramatic a fashion as possible. Don't just give the game a low score, or even a sub-zero score — pretend you couldn't bring yourself to finish the review at all. Act out as if you are terrified of the show/game/book/whatever. Scream in outrage at the very existence of the thing. Speak as if it has pushed you over the Despair Event Horizon and that the memory of it will drain all the goodness out of everything else you have ever reviewed. In other words, make it clear that, yes, it really does hurt to watch, to And I Must Scream levels for anyone experiencing it, and no amount of Bile Fascination can make up for the awfulness. While these sorts of theatrics are not limited to Caustic Critics, they are a favored tactic of several of them when confronted with something that is actually as bad as they usually make everything else out to be. Usually, this is well rehearsed ahead of time, as the critic has, presumably, actually finished it, or at least isn't watching it as they perform the review. It has been known to occur in real-time, however, especially in game criticism with the rise of 'First Impressions'-style reviews which are being recorded as the critic plays for the first time. Note that this a trope for critics, not the material they criticize, though it can appear in the reactions of fictional reviewers (in which case it it should be listed for the series or story where it appears). A subtrope of Suckiness Is Painful. Usually involves a serving of Large Ham. |

Hobgoblins was so bad, everyone walked out of the theater and left behind cardboard cutouts of themselves in there and on the SOL. Eventually, Pearl found out what they were up to and forced them to finish the movie. | |

JonTron had several breakdowns for several inane reasons: During the Nightshade review, when he gets to the point of seeing an old lady being constantly hammered, he stops playing the game, takes the cartridge to the back room and starts smacking it with a sledge hammer and it devolves into a bizarre karaoke session in slow motion that makes him sounds like a 'sedated Chewbacca'. It's as weird as it sounds. One of his oft-memed breakdown happens during the review of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts when he finds out that there is a car building and car driving session. |

ProJared has had several: Playing Oscar was such an awful experience that he spends the entire review lying on the floor and questioning his life when not despairing about the game. The opening of his review of Virtual Hydlide replaces his usual "I'm playing..." line with a shot of him slumped backwards with an expression of slack-jawed horror, able only to muster a miserable croak by way of description. |

The Mysterious Mr. Enter nearly gives up during his review of Mega Babies, and needs a pep talk from his mentor in order to finish it up. Also, Where the Dead Go to Die disturbed him so much that he shows his face in a vlog to explain why it's too depraved for an Animated Atrocity review. Aside from a quick snark at The Problem Solverz for now needing glasses, he sounds emotionally deadened throughout. The concept that such a film could be made, and worse yet with the alleged intention of comedy, traumatized him to the point of delaying his Mars Needs Moms review to think about the abomination he'd just watched. | |

The Nostalgia Critic has built his entire career on this trope, particularly after his review of Batman & Robin had him undergo such a breakdown that he had to be restrained by orderlies in three Time Skips, and even after calming down, could not say or hear the words "Bat Credit Card" for years afterwards without leaping into another homicidal rage. Doug Walker, the real person behind the persona, has stated more than once that his fans watch his show for the freak-outs and will constantly bring up a trigger phrase (like Bat Credit Card above) to see what reaction he'll give in person. His review of Foodfight! opens with him wandering into his home in a daze. He then snaps, destroying the DVD with the garbage disposal followed by frantically smashing every product in the kitchen which was featured in the film (or on the DVD jewel case).[3] The NeverEnding Story 3 causes the Nostalgia Critic to go Laughing Mad, go to the hardware store and buy a hammer, and smash the DVD in a fit of rage. He gets so depressed during his review of Son of the Mask that he literally begs The Devil himself to kill him. The Devil refuses, because he just loves the idea the Critic is undergoing a Fate Worse than Death. His earliest stint at this during the review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, whereas five minutes after believing that the movie's going to be an improvement over the two previous films... he's seen without his jacket under a Shower of Angst crying and rambling "OH MY GOD, IT'S SO TERRIBLE! IT'S SO TERRIBLEEHHAHAHAHAHA—", and doing a lot of crazy breakdowns before declaring it the worst thing that no one should ever have to see and inventing the word "Horribufuckus." His review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green opens with him questioning how bad it can be before doing a Time Skip during which he saw the movie and became so (literally) murderously enraged that he killed a neighbor's cat before he could stop himself. He still feels a lot of regret, though. |

James Phyrillas of Schaffrillas Productions is known for usually staying fairly level-headed throughout his reviews even when it's clear he really does not like the movie(s) he is reviewing and/or finds certain elements very stupid. However, Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate caused the normally restrained Schaffrillas to go from angry and/or frustrated shouting to shrieking in incandescent rage over the course of his review of the movie over how much of a trainwreck he found the movie to be on almost every level (especially as a follow-up to Megamind, a movie he openly holds very near and dear to his heart). Many of his fans remarked that he had finally had his "Bat Credit Card" moment. | |

SomeCallMeJohnny is mostly a down to earth game reviewer, but even he has his moments: His first instinct upon finding out he had to review Superman 64 was a Big "NO!", followed by telling the demon who gave the game to him "fuck that". Later, after putting up with the Fake Difficulty and the game's invoked Obvious Beta status and getting nothing out of it, he gave the game a -64 out of 10 after realizing that it's his review and he can do whatever the hell he wants. Downplayed in his Shadow the Hedgehog review, in which he just silently drops the controller and leaves upon seeing the Black Arms race appear from the sky. He comes back anyways, but he's clearly unhappy. Johnny's frustration also hits its maximum peak trying to kill the final boss in Ecco the Dolphin, before angrily giving up, saying that Ecco died saving his kind and quickly tore the game cartridge off his Sega Genesis. He also got fed up trying to wrestle with the controls to Sonic Free Riders (to be fair, it is the Kinect), to the point where he started damning the Kinect towards the end of his look at. He hates Super Mario Sunshine with a passion (or to be precise, the hoops he had to go through to get the lackluster 100% Completion reward), to the point where he got drunk mid-review. |

Nitro Rad: Throughout his review of Bubsy 3D, James talks about the game very negatively, which says a lot considering he usually avoids doing this in his reviews, borders on Sanity Slippage and gets Exhausted Eye Bags the more he progresses in the game. When he finally beats it, he does a Post-Victory Collapse, and calls Bubsy 3D the worst game he's ever played, and finishes she video by stating he'll go hug his mom and cry. | |

Terrible films are the bread and butter of Mystery Science Theater 3000, so this is a natural thing for the series. The protagonists aren't professional critics, but they are trapped in space and forced to watch bad movies (real ones; the fictional part is the setup of the series). The worst of the worst movies actually do drive the cast to the edge of breakdowns, or completely over. Manos: The Hands of Fate, perhaps the most notorious of the Joel-era episodes, sent both Tom and Crow into a panic during the opening credits, because they were convinced that they were going to be forced to watch a Snuff Film. Later, both TV's Frank and Dr. Forrester approached the communicator when the other was away, to privately apologize to Joel and the bots for foisting something so awful on them. Monster a-Go Go left the bots in a deep depression, which Joel unsuccessfully tries to cheer them out of. They also state that it was just as bad as Manos, which is a pretty severe criticism in light of their reaction to that. Eegah! was so bad that Crow and Tom Servo had to take showers afterwards to wash the filth away. Red Zone Cuba makes Mike think he's Carol Channing. Tom Servo and Crow have to sing a manic "Bouncy Upbeat Song" to keep themselves from complete despair. Invasion of the Neptune Men leaves the cast sobbing and wondering what's the point of living anymore. A surprise visit from Phantom of Krankor pulls them back from a complete breakdown. Hobgoblins was so bad, everyone walked out of the theater and left behind cardboard cutouts of themselves in there and on the SOL. Eventually, Pearl found out what they were up to and forced them to finish the movie. But none of these compare to The Castle of Fu Manchu, where the cast can’t finish any of their host segments due to how horrible the movie is, and it’s due to only a suggestion at the final segment that Frank and Forrester watch it that the Mads don’t use it to conquer the world. |

The Spoony Experiment: their review of Ultima IX has Spoony comically perched on the armrest of his chair in a fetal position and swallowing pills pretty early on, but eventually culminates in a severe Mood Whiplash, when he suddenly breaks character and relates a very personal story of his childhood and how much the Ultima series meant to him growing up, concluding on a very serious reflection on the trauma its bungled finale had inflicted upon him. | |

The Angry Joe Show: Joe is simply in love with this trope. His review of Ride to Hell: Retribution opens with him in his gaming chair writhing in agony and clutching at his eyes. Similarly, the review video for MindJack opens with him sitting facing the camera, staring blankly and drooling as a voiceover explains that the game Mind Jacked him while he was playing. He opens his review of Sonic Free Riders by claiming that the game had ruined his life, draining the pleasure from things like music and food, and declaring that he would start a fistfight with anyone who dared give the game a positive review. |
