While many media reviewers stick to a familiar scale of letters, numbers, or simply stars when rating what they're reviewing, some like to mix things up, either by using a completely unique scale or by putting a spin on an old scale that makes it fresh and easily identifiable to that person. This makes them stand out from other reviewers and can be a draw to their work. It's even more of a point of recognition if these scales/systems incorporate a catchphrase or something similar. Can sometimes incorporate Broke the Rating Scale in unusual cases. Compare Abstract Scale (measuring something that can't really be measured in the first place) and Hiroshima as a Unit of Measure (using comparisons as a means of measurement). |

Trasheira (something akin to 'trashness'): It's bad, but it's fun, or it deliberately uses trashy aesthetics (like exaggerated Horror Comedies such as Braindead and Evil Dead 2) and is very entertaining. | |

Kenny Loggins faces: How dangerous it is. (replaced Hulk faces which were used to rate how angry the work made him, but were retired for being too subjective) | |

ProJared rates every game [BLANK] out of ten, where the blank can be filled with pretty much everything except a number from 1 to 10. These scores are always symbolic for something which he elaborates on in his final thoughts. | |

Rotten Tomatoes is one of the most ubiquitous examples in today's media. It samples a collection of reviews from different sources and assigns each review a "Fresh" or "Rotten" designation based on whether or not it was favorable to its movie, then tabulates those and assigns a movie an overall "Fresh" or "Rotten" rating with a corresponding red tomato icon or green splat icon. To earn a "Fresh" rating, the percentage of positive reviews has to be at least 60% of the total, with movies that are at or over 75% being designated "Certified Fresh". | |

Siskel & Ebert is the Trope Maker. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert rated films with a simple thumbs up/down, and this, combined with their lively discussions/arguments supporting their decisions, made the show almost a cultural touchstone for movie reviewing prior to Rotten Tomatoes. | |

In his "Dunkview" videos, Video Game Dunkey awards "dunk points" to games, though usually not in any seriousness whatsoever, and amazing games can be rated 0/5 (to date the only serious 0/5 game rating he's ever given has been Kingdom Hearts III), while lackluster ones (Knack 2]] baybeeeeeeee) can get 10/5 (for the graphics alone, even). | |

While Spill was still an active website, its participants rated movies on the following scale: Better Than Sex!: The Broke the Rating Scale rating, given for films which are beyond the expectation for a good film and magnificently set a new cinematic standard. Full Price!: Genuinely good films according to current standards, with few to no flaws. Matinee!: Entertaining films that are worth seeing in the theater but are flawed enough to only warrant a matinee ticket. Rental: An okay movie, something not worth paying movie ticket prices to see. Some Ole Bullshit!: Films that are either poorly made or simply bad, but not to the point of being horrible. Fuck You!!!: An unofficial rating, the equivalent of the Better Than Sex rating for bad films. These films are bad to the point of being offensive to the viewers and the Spill crew, often in more ways than one. They added this one to the list after realizing that the Seltzer and Friedberg films were beyond the badness of the Some Ole Bullshit! rating. |

Arkada, for his anime review series Glass Reflection, formerly combined a numerical score that was a rough aggregate of various factors with a unique overall rating system. However, he eventually went solely with the overall ratings, as the scoring was cumbersome and often confusing and contradictory between reviews. His scale is: Certified Frosty: As he puts it: "A rating reserved only for the best of the best and those shows too important to ignore." Buy It: A very good show that's worth shelling out the money for a physical copy. Stream It: A decent show that's worth checking out, but has too many issues to merit a Buy It rating. Skip It: Generally not worth your time. Fuck It: Usually reserved for titles that are a complete failure for one reason or another. WataMote, while it had some merit, earned this rating mainly due to its unbearable cringiness. |

Anthony Fantano uses a 0 - 10 numerical scale when rating albums, but qualifies the numbers with "light", "decent", or "strong". He also uses "NOT GOOD" as its own rating for albums that he didn't have high expectations for and which did end up being complete duds in his opinion, and "NOT BAD" for albums that he expected to be duds but found surprisingly listenable in spite of whatever problems they have. | |

YouTube toy reviewer Jobby the Hong has a 5-tier scale based on small Godzilla figures interacting with the subject of the review. The scale is: Classic Godzilla, 2014 Godzilla and Mechagodzilla Kiryu kiss the figure. Classic Godzilla and 2014 Godzilla kiss the figure. Classic Godzilla kisses the figure. Classic Godzilla hugs the figure. Classic Godzilla looks at the figure with disgust. |

The AV Club used to have a frequent commenter and occasional guest columnist in the Film section calling himself ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER (all caps, always) who absolutely preferred films in the Rated M for Manly genre and disdained basically anything else. He still has a presence on Twitter. His rating system was simple: OPTIONAL: Watch it if you want, who gives a shit? NOT OPTIONAL: Watch this movie or you are scum WACK AS FUCK: Garbage you should never watch |

The Completionist uses a rating scale based on how much he feels the game in question is worth investing the time to complete it. The scale is Complete it Finish it Play it Look at it Donate it (formerly Burn it) Occasionaly, half-ratings would get names like "plook at it" |
