| Review Ironic Echo | comment |
A stock part of reviews, usually critical ones. This is when the reviewer takes a line from the work being reviewed and points out how it describes the work as a whole. For example, if a character in a film says “This is too confusing!� or "Quit insulting my intelligence!", the reviewer might quote it and mention that they felt the same way after watching the movie. It can also be done with unintentionally self-critical sounding titles. Indeed, if your terrible movie is named along the lines of Disaster or Finally Over, you can bet every reviewer will gleefully turn that into a punchline, or at least allude to the possibility of doing so. This is sort of an inversion of Quotes Fit for a Trailer when the work's creators or publicizers use a work's own lines to promote it. Of course, reviewers can do this trope "positively" and creators can do that one "negatively", but such instances are comparatively rare (especially the latter for a certain reason). Compare Spoofed with Their Own Words. See also Ironic Echo, for ironic reuse of words or actions within a work. |

Midway through Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Aram Fingal (trapped inside a computer simulation) is reenacting a usual day of his life. "This is so boring! I can't take it anymore!" he declares. Mike and the 'bots, watching the movie, wonder aloud, "Which one of us said that?" | |

Fallout 76's advertising prominently featured the song "Country Roads", which begins with the line "Almost heaven, West Virginia." When the game launched to less than stellar reception, PCWorld could only describe the game as "Almost hell, West Virginia". | |

The Hobbit: Many reviews of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey picked up on Gandalf's line in response to being called out on telling a tall tale in the film "Well, all good stories deserve embellishment" that may or may not have been intended as a Take That, Critics! by Peter Jackson and certainly seems to embody Jackson's adaptational approach for better or worse. The next film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, ends with Bilbo watching in horror as Smaug flies off to lay waste to Laketown, and whispers "What have we done?" When Honest Trailers criticized the movie as an excess of padding, they played that clip of Bilbo and followed it up by asking forlornly "What indeed, Bilbo?" |

Metroid: Other M had multiple lines that invited snarky responses: The description for the Retsupurae: "'I'm gonna teach you a lesson about subtlety!' and other ironic quotes from Metroid: Other M." As Adam discusses the current situation with Samus, he remarks, "But then again, none of this makes sense"; a phrase that's often used by detractors to describe the plot of the game. A blog analyzing the game's story on this very site not only used the "subtlety" and "none of this makes sense" lines, but also "Out of nowhere, I suddenly found myself concerned with his opinion again" (quipping that Samus is admitting she's out-of-character); plus snarking more than once about Adam having "the perfect military mind" (as he was described in Metroid Fusion). |

Rotten Tomatoes loves to trot these out for the "critics' consensus" summary of the film reviews recorded for the poorly-received films stored in its database: The critics' consensus for Look Who's Talking Now reads: "Look Who's Talking Now: Look away." The critics' consensus for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen begins with "Just ordinary." "The Nightmare on Elm Street remake lives up to its title in the worst possible way." The critics' consensus on Free Birds is "begs unfortunate comparisons with the dim-witted fowl that inspired it." The critics' consensus for the Duncan Jones film Mute (2018) states that "Mute is a would-be sci-fi epic whose title serves as an unfortunate guide to how it might be best enjoyed". The critics' consensus for God's Not Dead 2 mocks the film as being "every bit the proselytizing lecture promised by its title". The critics' consensus for The Snowman (2017) says that the film "feels as mashed together and perishable as its title". The critics' consensus on Troll 2 is the film's most infamous scene: "Oh my God". A comparatively mild case occurred with The Magnificent Seven (2016); the critics' consensus states: "The Magnificent Seven never really lives up to the superlative in its title — or the classics from which it draws inspiration — but remains a moderately diverting action thriller on its own merits." The Emoji Movie has a poop emoji (voiced by Patrick Stewart) as a character. Many critics have used said emoji to sum up the film's quality, Rotten Tomatoes also uses the no-entry emoji (🚫) as the critical consensus, and one review even mocks the film as "a big pile of Patrick Stewart". Several of the many negative reviews of Jack Reacher: Never Go Back said the film "should have taken its own advice", and Rotten Tomatoes' critical consensus adds that its "title also serves as a warning." The critics' consensus for Mile 22 runs as follows: "Mile 22 lets the bullets fly — and not much else — in a thrill-deficient action thriller whose title proves sadly fitting for a film that feels close to a marathon endurance test." For another coincidence, the percentage of fresh reviews was also at 22% at one point (it is currently at 23%). The critics' consensus for Venom (2018) has a variation: "Venom's first standalone movie turns out to be like the comics character in all the wrong ways - chaotic, noisy, and in desperate need of a stronger attachment to Spider-Man." The Last Thing He Wanted warranted the concise consensus "It'll be the last thing most viewers want, too." A positive example; the critics' consensus for Mission: Impossible – Fallout states that the film "lives up to the "impossible" part of its name by setting yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them." Another positive example; Pet Sematary (2019) was advertised with the tagline "Sometimes dead is better.", while the critics' consensus at one point read "Sometimes remade is better." (and then more negative reviews poured in, and while its score is still higher than the original, the consensus now reads that it "feels like an exhuming almost as often as it does a revival."). The critics' consensus for the controversial Netflix stand-up comedy special Dave Chappelle: Sticks and Stones notes that "Sticks and Stones won't break any bones, but it won't elicit many laughs, either." Another mild case occurred with Captive State; the critics' consensus reads: "This sci-fi thriller may not necessarily leave viewers in a Captive State, but it offers reasonably diverting alien invasion action with ambitious political undertones." The critics' consensus for Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is none other than Pooh's iconic Character Catchphrase "Oh, bother." |

In Power Rangers Megaforce, Vrak Handwaved something away with "It's far too complex for you to understand"; and Gosei did the same in the next season by saying "There's a simple explanation for that..." before being cut off. In his History of Power Rangers series, Linkara would sarcastically repeat the clips whenever their respective seasons attempted other gratuitous Handwaves. | |

The website Know Your Meme allows users to comment on research articles detailing the various internet memes circulating "teh interwebz." The website is pretty heavy on Self-Demonstrating Articles, especially made by those users in question, but whenever articles come along that people don't like or that are too forced, they will use these reviews to mock the one who attempted to make it.

Lee Hazlewood's 1973 album Poet, Fool or Bum was famously dismissed by Charles Shaar Murray in NME with a single word review: "bum". There's been some more recent re-evaluation of Hazlewood's work, and some modern reviewers now feel that the review, while funny, was unfair. | |

Happens a good deal on The Nostalgia Critic. In a series of DVD-exclusive reviews, he reviews a series of films by "The Nostalgia Cricket" (not realizing that it's actually himself). At the end of the last review, he says, "And that was To Boldly Flee. And what a shock, it made me want to boldly flee." In his review of The Master of Disguise, he points out how the lead character's girlfriend breaking up with him because "the silly voices and funny faces were only funny for a few seconds" pretty much sums up the movie. Let's just say he gets a lot of mileage out of the clip where Tom and Jerry beat their heads against a wall in the Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory review. |

The opening credits of the The X-Files spin-off Millennium (1996) featured the floating words "wait", "worry", and "who cares?" Though this trope did come into play among those who did not, in fact, care, the last phrase mainly incited die-hard internet fans to cry out, "We do!" | |

The Real Ghostbusters got its name to distinguish it from Filmation's Ghostbusters. However, that cartoon is largely forgotten nowadays, and you will usually only hear about it when someone is trying to explain to you why The Real Ghostbusters is called that. Upon watching The Real Ghostbusters, you will quickly notice that the show does not use the likenesses or voices of the original actors. As such, uninformed viewers and reviewers are left with the feeling that even this show, despite its name, does not feature the Real Ghostbusters. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000 likes to use this occasionally. When they watch Pod People, Joel and the bots are very critical of its misuse of the Hyperlink Story structure. Then, midway through the movie, there's a scene where Tommy tries to show his alien friend how to assemble a jigsaw puzzle: "See? The pieces fit together!" Tom Servo quickly replies, "If only the movie were so lucky." Midway through Overdrawn at the Memory Bank, Aram Fingal (trapped inside a computer simulation) is reenacting a usual day of his life. "This is so boring! I can't take it anymore!" he declares. Mike and the 'bots, watching the movie, wonder aloud, "Which one of us said that?" At the end of Timechasers, the protagonist decides his time machine is too dangerous, so he dismantles it and deletes all the associated computer code. When the computer prompts "DELETE ALL COPIES? Y/N", Mike responds, "Delete copies of film? Yes. Delete memory of film from mankind’s consciousness? Yes." In Space Mutiny, one of the first things David Ryder does is flee from his damaged spacecraft after a crash landing, shouting "It's gonna blow!" Tom Servo quips "If the first ten minutes are any indication, this movie is gonna blow!" |

The lukewarm reception of Wish (2023) included a few remarks from reviewers that they wished for it to be better than it was, quoting/paraphrasing the key lyric from the Award-Bait Song "This Wish" in particular: "And so I make this wish/To have something more for us than this!" On the opposite end, fans of the movie also enjoy quoting the title phrase from Magnifico's Villain Song, "This is the thanks I get!?" in response to its reviews. |

This must never be seen... by anyone. All copies... destroy them." Cue several reviewers "wondering" if he was actually referring to the movie itself. | |

The next film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, ends with Bilbo watching in horror as Smaug flies off to lay waste to Laketown, and whispers "What have we done?" When Honest Trailers criticized the movie as an excess of padding, they played that clip of Bilbo and followed it up by asking forlornly "What indeed, Bilbo?" | |

The Last of Us Part II: One infamous scene has Ellie kill a dog while shouting "stupid dog!" Since the game was developed by Naughty Dog, detractors quickly latched on to the line and used it to criticize the studio. In a flashback where Joel and Ellie visit an abandoned museum, the former tells the latter about Jurassic Park, briefly mentioning that it had a sequel that wasn't as good. Needless to say, detractors — especially ones who liked the first game — appropriated the lines to refer to the game itself. |

In The Room (2003), when Claudette walks in on two of Lisa's friends having sex, she exclaims, "What are these characters doing here?!" Both Obscurus Lupa and The Nostalgia Critic have pretty much the same question in their reviews, given that the scene in question adds nothing to the plot, and the characters in it are totally irrelevant. | |

Many reviews of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey picked up on Gandalf's line in response to being called out on telling a tall tale in the film "Well, all good stories deserve embellishment" that may or may not have been intended as a Take That, Critics! by Peter Jackson and certainly seems to embody Jackson's adaptational approach for better or worse. | |

Far and Away invited a few of these, such as "[Ron] Howard's family saga looks like far and away the grandest new-old movie of 1992" in the Hartford Courant and "a stinker of a picture ... which was far and away the worst film I have ever seen" in the Daily Mirror a few years later. The New York Times was even compelled to take a gratuitous potshot at it in a review for one of the director's other movies: "[Apollo 13] is far and away the best thing Mr. Howard has done (and Far and Away was one of the other kind)." | |

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise has "Superman" by Goldfinger as its Bootstrapped Leitmotif, and Tony Hawk as its mascot. With the series' decline in recent years and the fact that skating is something associated with young people, many take note of the second refrain's lyrics: "So here I am, growing older all the time, looking older all the time." The following line "feeling younger in my mind" tends to be forgotten. | |

Variation in Todd in the Shadows and The Rap Critic's take on "Accidental Racist", when Todd described it as being "extremely accidentally racist". From his worst hit songs of 2012 "How fitting that a song called 'Whistle' totally blows." Defied with regards to Drake's album Honestly, Nevermind. Subverted in his review of "Best Song Ever" by One Direction. He thought the song was actually pretty good, although not the best song ever and it certainly wasn't as bad as he thought it would be going in. Played straight in a positive example for His Best Hit Songs of 2013 video where he sings "And we danced all night to the 6th best song of 2013" |

Caruso's thriller proves altogether worthy of its title.") and its box-office performance.

Pitbull's song for Aquaman (2018), "Ocean to Ocean", ended up one of the most disliked videos on YouTube within 24 hours of its upload for the combination of Pitbull's verses and its borderline cut-and-paste sampling of Toto's "Africa", practically a Sacred Cow of Internet meme culture around the time of the song's release. Matters were not helped by the song opening with Pitbull saying "They tried to get rid of me" - quite a few commenters were quick to mock that line with statements along the lines of "We can see why" or "They should have tried harder". | |

Several reviewers of X-Men: Apocalypse who disliked it zeroed in on its scene wherein Cyclops, Jean, Jubilee, and Nightcrawler go to a theater playing Return of the Jedi. After leaving, they bicker over whether the original or The Empire Strikes Back was the best Star Wars movie, but come out agreeing, "The third movie is always the worst." Many real-life critics noted it could describe either X-Men: The Last Stand or Apocalypse, both of which were the third movies in their respective trilogies and were the worst-reviewed. | |

Viewers of Fantastic Four (2015) have latched onto the line "We gave you six years and millions of dollars, and you gave us nothing" — a perfect summation of the film's notoriously Troubled Production and poor critical and commercial reception. | |

Some of the more negative professional reviews of My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) noted that they found themselves empathizing with the Storm King when he complains about the overwhelming cuteness. From Hollywood Reporter: "Summing it all up is [Liev] Schreiber’s Storm King, who at one point late in the proceedings moans, "I'm so totally over the cute pony thing!" Pretty much." And Slant: "When late in the film, the Storm King complains, "I'm so over the cute pony thing," it's hard not to agree with him." |

For Star Trek: Nemesis, some snarky reviewers zeroed in on Riker's line "Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse". Indeed, it's widely considered to be either the first or second-poorly received Star Trek film featuring the Next Gen cast, competing for the title with its predecessor Star Trek: Insurrection. | |

The title and raunchy nature of No Hard Feelings practically invited overuse of terms like "flaccid" and "limp" in coverage and reviews of it. | |

Kamen Rider Decade: "Decade has no story." In-universe, it's the reveal that Decade is not meant to live in a world of his own, but drift from parallel world to parallel world to help others and be a supporting character in their stories. Out of universe, it instantly hit Memetic Mutation because of the series' increasingly messy, self-contradicting plot. | |

The first line of Swordfish has a rant by Gabriel about how "Hollywood only makes shit". In its review of the movie, How Did This Get Made? discusses how dangerous it is to have a line like that in the movie, cause reviewers always latch onto it - "You've done it again, Hollywood". | |
