comment
Best of the Worst is a regular online show from RedLetterMedia in which a few members of the production company will watch and review several obscure and terrible direct-to-video films. After a rousing discussion, the cast votes on which movie is the "Best of the Worst" and which is just the worst. At the end of each episode, the physical copy of the worst movie is (usually) destroyed in some inventive way.Regular episodes feature three movies picked by the staff beforehand. Several spin-off varieties of episodes feature different methods of video selection: Wheel of the Worst uses three spins of a Wheel of Decisions to randomly select the discussion material. Videos in these segments are not movies but an assortment of "weird" videos such as Instructional Films, promotional videos and live event recordings, mostly acquired by viewer contribution. Plinketto: Three B-movies are randomly selected by a giant plinko board. Battle of the Genres: The gang watches one video from three different genres. Black Spine Edition: The gang selects unlabeled videos so they don't know what they'll be watching. This has since evolved into a game, Junka, where two members play a form of Jenga with the VHS cassettes. The group is then forced to watch every single tape pulled by the winner. Only a few of the tapes are actually reviewed during the roundtable. Spotlight: Mike, Jay, Rich and an occasional fourth man/guest focus an entire episode on a single, pre-selected film that, while terrible, is something they enjoy watching. The episodes are typically shorter and, since there's only one film, it's the best of the worst "winner" by default.The cast of each show is typically composed of four variable members, including Mike Stoklasa, Jay Bauman, Rich Evans, Jack Packard, Josh "The Wizard" Davis and, in more recent years, Tim Higgins. Early episodes often included Mike's girlfriend Jessi Nakles. Some episodes feature special guest members, such as actress/comedienne Gillian Bellinger (co-star of Red Letter Media's feature film Feeding Frenzy) and Canadian visual effects artists Colin Cunningham and Jim Maxwell (both of whom worked on Space Cop); further, celebrity guests of varying degree have included screenwriter Max Landisnote Whose appearances have since been scrubbed from the channel due to several sexual abuse claims against him, comic book artist Freddie Williams II, actor/fight choreographer/Giftedly Bad director Len Kabasinski, actor/writer/director Simon Barrett, actor Macaulay Culkin (alongside Shawn DePasquale of Bunny Ears in most of his appearances), comedian/actor Patton Oswalt, and actor Jack Quaid.

Visible Silence: When Jack asks who thought of the Wheel of the Worst, Rich runs away, as Mike curses him out. But when Jack asks whose idea it was to do bizarre short films instead of movies, Mike guiltily looked around before hastily changing the subject.

Off-the-Shelf FX
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_11ec1fd5
comment
It seems like all of the money spent on Diamond Cobra vs. The White Fox went to paying SAG-AFTRA union actors their minimum scale. Not only are the production values so low with Off-the-Shelf FX and cheap video effects, the film has such locations as an Olive Garden. The film even showed that the lead actor/director/producer/singer's mother did some of the camera work — and it shows.

Anyone Can Die
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Discussed as part of the unusual charm of Surviving Edged Weapons. While the fictional segments are otherwise absurdly overdramatic and encourage killing civilians as the very first resort, not the last, they are realistic in one way — a situation can turn deadly when a blade is involved, and since you're not Murtaugh and Riggs, you're not immune from the consequences. Nearly every scenario is guaranteed to end in some kind of casualty or serious injury, if not one or more deaths, and Rich mentions that he was on the edge of his seat during them.

I Am a Humanitarian: While discussing the cannibals in Doctor Butcher, the crew gets into a long heated argument about what people to eat. Jack dismisses Louie Anderson because there's too much fat on him, and says muscle men like Arnold Schwarzenegger would be perfect because they have muscle. Rich argues that fat is what makes the meat juicy. They eventually agree on André the Giant and Shaquille O'Neal as the perfect human meals.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Surviving Edged Weapons is probably the darkest entry in the Best of the Worst canon, since it deals with the real-world problem of knife crime. While the RLM crew found some laughs from the tonal shifts of the tape (Lethal Weapon-style gunfights erupting out of nowhere, or baseball caps fitted with razor blades on the back), there's a somber tone to it all, from the sad interviews with stabbing victims to graphic autopsy photos of real stab wounds.

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything? The Heimlich maneuver scene from Gary Coleman For Safety's Sake, which includes a close-up of the girl making an... interesting face while rhythmically performing offscreen abdominal thrusts on her brother. The group later comments on the fact that there's no logical reason for that shot to exist in a scene meant to teach children how to perform the Heimlich maneuver. The glass harmonica from Shapeshifter. From Playing Dangerous's back-of-the-box summary: The first 30 minutes of The Photon Effect has the crew remarking multiple times that it looks a lot like a gay porn movie. None of them would have been surprised if hardcore sex had happened by that point.

Making Use of the Twin
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_14f6a4cb
comment
They thought the twin brother co-directors of Feeders playing the main character and his evil clone was the only legitimately interesting part of the movie, but that they didn't use this effect to anywhere near its full extent.note In fact, it happens near the climax for about a minute, when one of the twins is killed. Spoiler: The wrong one, in fact. In fact, they suggest that this should've been the main focus of the movie, since given that the twins are the co-directors, it could have essentially been done on No Budget and wouldn't have relied on the incredibly fake-looking tiny grey alien hand puppets that the movie actually does focus on.

Tempting Fate: During The Dance of Birth. Comes up repeatedly in Plinketto #4, where almost every dumb thing they predict before and while watching the movies actually ends up happening in them. Mike pretty much perfectly predicts that the Big Bad in Little Bigfoot will be a Corrupt Corporate Executive and even nails what he'll look like, after Jay remarks how stupid the plot of Turbulence 3 is getting, a character in the movie says something extremely similar almost immediately after, and they predict exactly how the plot of Turbulence 3 would be resolved purely by suggesting the dumbest possible way for the movie to end.

Genre Savvy
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_1777688d
comment
Genre Savvy The crew are familiar enough with bad movie tropes that they can often predict what's going to happen in the movies they watch, but Rich's savvy borders on precognition. He's often able to predict tropes, story beats and even specific events in the plot just by reading the back of the movie's box. Mike can spot an impending car explosion whenever a really old car is used by a character on the basis that blowing up a junk car is cheaper for the production than a more recent model. Jack's immediate reaction to the opening of The Jar is to assume that this is someone's college film-school project, on the basis that it's trying to be deep by opening with poetry read over a black screen. His position is instantly bolstered when the opening credits turn out to be set in really bad, cheap video titles, the kind you'd get from the Chyron at the production facilities of a 1980s college TV station. Played for Laughs when the gang decides that the titular monster from A*P*E has seen monster movies before and has a perfect sense of dramatic timing.

Gone Horribly Right
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right The crew watches Xtro expecting it to be a bad movie. It isn't. The New Gladiators was directed by Lucio Fulci. The crew only find out once the opening credits end. Happens once again with Robot Jox, although Jay is quick to point out that it was suggested by fans. And again with Thunderpants, which was so good they took it out of the judging section of the show. R.O.T.O.R., in an episode where two sci-fi robot films proved to be terribly dull, one broke before they could watch it, and another one (Robot Jox) wasn't a bad film at all, wound up singlehandedly saving the day with its pure astounding awfulness. The Pit was pretty thoroughly enjoyable for them, with Rich and Jay saying it was almost as good as Xtro.

comment
Visual Pun: After the crew declare The Amazing Bulk as the worst, its "destruction" is a series of visual puns that serve as a Take That! to the film's cheap green screen effects. However, the actual DVD is never shown to be ''destroyed'', perhaps because the crew also realizes that it's really one-of-a-kind.

comment
Diabolus ex Machina/Troubled Production: An audio issue forced the crew to re-record Episode 6, and because The Vindicator turned out to be too mediocre to derive much entertainment value from, the group decided to try and watch a different movie in its place. Their second pick, Class of '99 II, had a promising premise and positive word-of-mouth, but their copy broke the moment they tried to play it. Only after attempting to watch a third movie, Cyber Tracker, and finding that it was somehow duller than The Vindicator, to the point where they had unrelated conversations and left the film on as background noise. They eventually gave up on finding a third film worth talking about and resigned themselves to discussing only the two remaining films. Of the two, Robot Jox turned out to be a legitimately good B-movie and thus ill-suited to the show, while R.O.T.O.R. may have proven too good a fit for the show.

Padding
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_21586e8c
comment
Padding: Conversed In-Universe. R.O.T.O.R. was so full of it that they had to speed up the more egregious parts just to get their point across. And even sped up, it all still takes too long. invoked The Family Guide to the Internet crams all of its potentially useful information into the first few minutes, then spends most of its remaining running time on montages of various website pages. V-World Matrix. Not only does it have scenes go on long just to cover songs from beginning to end, but there's a ten-minute sequence of Stock Footage from another, better film, in which it sounds like the leads are providing improvised commentary from their couch like a Let's Play. Somehow, someway, Crazy Fat Ethel II has tons of padding - despite a sixty-minute running time. Psycho From Texas is even worse in the same episode - which features what's estimated to be a full half-hour of a dull chase on foot. Footage of the crew's reactions synced with sped-up clips from the movie drives the point home. The crew's main complaint with Future Force. The granny shimmying up a tree in Tree Stand Safety is shown in its entirety. Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper consists almost entirely of shirtless men walking and jogging around the forest.

When they are about to review the film, Rich breaks it with a hammer. A copy of Neil Breen's Pass Thru was held in reserve in a glass case with a note reading "In Case of Max Landis, Break Glass." However, once Landis became an unperson due to assault accusations, the label replaced "Max Landis" with "Emergency." The group did eventually break it when their scheduled film proved unwatchable.

Broke the Rating Scale: Mike cannot vote for Undefeatable as best of the worst, because it's simply not bad enough to even be on the show. Same thing happens with Thunderpants, which the crew liked so much they outright removed it from the voting. For Rich, the last 15-20 minutes of Lethal Ninja were so bizarre and unintentionally funny that he picked it as his Best of the Worst for that episode. However, the rest of the film was so boring and bad that he also picked it as the film to destroy.

invokedThey also point out an inversion in Twin Dragon Encounter. The McNamara twins use well-executed kickboxing moves in their fight scenes, but the fights are over so quickly (along with bad shot composition and unnecessary slow-motion) that it looks terrible on camera. The twins seem to have realized this, as their next film, Dragon Hunt, opted for Rule of Cool over realistic martial arts.

Special Guest: Gillian Bellinger, star of their movie Feeding Frenzy and previously a guest on Half in the Bag, appears in episode 10. Episode 15 features the appearance of Len Kabasinski, whose film was previously featured on the show. He's gone on to collaborate with RLM a few more times. Max Landis joins the gang in Episode 35, and Macaulay Culkin shows up in a cameo during Landis's film destruction segment. Simon Barrett, writer of the Blair Witch remake, appears in Plinketto #6. Macaulay Culkin shows up as a surprise guest in Plinketto #7, and goes on to become a recurrer. And in what's becoming something of a pattern, Patton Oswalt pays the crew a visit in Plinketto #8. He had already appeared in a cameo role in their Space Cop film. Continuing the tradition, Plinketto #10 features an appearance by Jack Quaid, foreshadowed only by a brief Twitter exchange between them the month before.

Halloween Episode
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_297170d3
comment
The video description for the 2019 Halloween Episode outright declares it one of the worst selections of movies they've ever been stuck with. Jack-O is dull and lazily made with a lot of underwhelming kills and a monster that's somehow completely non-threatening despite using a huge scythe as its weapon, and Shark Exorcist is named as one of the most disgusting things they've ever had to watch on the show, for featuring so many scenes of girls in bikinis writhing on the ground that they assume it was the director's fetish and overtly sexual scenes involving characters that are clearly meant to be either children via Dawson Casting or adults with mental disabilities. The only bright spot of the night was Rock n' Roll Nightmare which even then is boring, lame, and cliché for almost its entire runtime before the last ten minutes hits suddenly hits them with a wild twist ending and maybe the most amazingly stupid fight scene they've ever had on the show.

The Scrappy: invoked The crew, Jay in particular, despised writer/director/lead actor Dan Clark in The Item, because he was trying way too hard to make himself the cool character in his Quentin Tarantino-inspired film. The crew also hated Steve in Wired To Kill due to being a "dangerous combination of stupid and insistent" according to Rich, constantly putting poor Becky through hell with his suicidal war against the thugs. When Steve comforted Becky and gave her an Almost Kiss, Josh loudly objected. When he appeared as a special guest, Max Landis refers to himself as this, outright saying, "You want me to be Scrappy-Doo? I'll be your Scrappy-Doo!"

invoked I Am Not Shazam: When they don't refer to generic action movie protagonists as "Action Man", they tend to call them by the name of the film. This was done in Gymkata, Low Blow and Blood Debts, and other films. They'll even sometimes do this in retrospect; they called the main character of Deadly Prey "Action Man" during the discussion of the film, but referred to him as "Deadly Prey" when they talked about Killer Workout, which featured the same actor. For Rickshaw, Mike proposed the twist of calling the protagonist "Rick Shaw."

Full-Name Basis: Rich Evans is always credited with his full name, and is the only one of the hosts that this applies to. The other hosts also often address him by his full name when speaking to or about him, though they occasionally just call him Rich. When reviewing Cyborg (1989) they make a point of always referring to Van Damme's character by his full name, Gibson Rickenbacker, complete with a cutaway with his name in text.

Silk features the main heroine wearing no shirt and a see-through bra, has the tagline of "She bangs 'em, breaks 'em and books 'em" and promises "steamin' non-stop action". The first minute or so of the movie delivers, with Silk shooting at an escaping criminal's car from a train, leading to the car exploding. The rest of the movie, however, is extremely slow and boring, to the point where the whole crew just gives up on it and decides to watch Pass-Thru instead.

Three Cameras: The panel discussion is shot in this format: one camera is a "wide" master shot focusing on all four panelists, and the other two each focus on a closer shot of two panelists on either side of the discussion table. If the viewing had more than four attendees, the odd one out will usually be operating the cameras and occasionally contributes to the discussion off-camera (and off-mic).

comment
Sick and Wrong: Their reaction to Candid Candid Camera Vol. 6, since the marks are largely (probably poor or homeless) older men who were tricked into being on camera under the pretense of being a temp agency purely for the non-gag of having these clearly confused men interact with naked women. They're especially horrified when one seemingly-drunk man begins feeling up the actress under the impression that she was trying to seduce him only for the scene to suddenly cut away. The handjob scene from The Amazing Bulk. The crew's reaction to the sadistic stripping scene in Psycho From Texas, which could have worked if it didn't come out of nowhere and give the impression that the entire rest of the film was a time-wasting excuse for the director to get off on filming that one scene. The crew was also horrified by the lustful Brother–Sister Incest desires of Robert Ginty's character in White Fire. Their reaction to RepliGATOR, which is pretty quickly deduced to be nothing but an excuse for the writer/lead actor to fondle pretty, topless young women.note It wasn't. The lead actor bailed on the film, and the writer had to fill in. Exploding Varmints again. The crew does take time to point out that killing prairie dogs is, indeed, something farmers simply have to do sometimes to protect their property and livestock, but the video's creator is very obviously using that as a flimsy pretense for his own amusement in grotesquely mutilating small animals with overpowered ammunition. Yello Dyno: Can't Fool Me! elicits a strong negative reaction, namely from how it demonstrates what sexual grooming looks like by putting its young protagonists in inappropriate clothes/makeup and having the antagonist lust over them onscreen.

Poe's Law

Poe's Law: This was the crew's main problem with The Amazing Bulk, as they found the film to be so bad that they couldn't decide on whether it was a sincere attempt to make a Sin City-esque stylized superhero film, a terrible superhero parody, an intentionally So Bad, It's Good movie with Stylistic Suck, or simply a cheap Mockbuster to The Incredible Hulk (2008).note According to Director Commentary, they simply had no money — and simply gave up trying to put effort into it. In "Wheel of the Worst 3", the crew can't decide whether Instant Adoring Boyfriend was meant for teenage girls, elderly gay men, lonely middle-aged women, or as a gag gift. They couldn't tell what the creator's intent was, making Tammy and the T-Rex and weren't sure if it was supposed to be a light-hearted comedy with a silly premise or a serious horror movie. Mike posits that American Flatulators might have been a gag gift much like Instant Adoring Boyfriend. Rich was unable to enjoy two films fully, Dangerous Men and Suburban Sasquatch, because he was completely unable to tell if they were deliberate bad movies. The crew found the Making Of video diary of Suburban Sasquatch director Dave Wascavage sitting on a grandmotherly couch explaining his thought processes on the film to be far more hilarious than the film itself, because of its earnestness, especially costume designer Sarah Schneider beaming she'd "always wanted to work on a Dave Wascavage film", as if he were Orson Welles or Billy Wilder. The crew remains unsure if Neil Breen (Double Down, Pass Thru) is a psychotic conspiracy theorist and a ticking time bomb, or an Andy Kaufman-esque Troll. They suspect the former, and wonder if the FBI is keeping tabs on him. One of their main takeaways from A*P*E was that it felt like a parody of giant monster movies with most of the jokes cut out.

Boring, but Practical: While admitting that Let's Rap About Fire Safety is horribly out of date, Rich Evans says that the information on the video is useful because it would have helped him when he was youngernote Most people assumed he was a child when this happened, but Rich later revealed that he was 22; a dramatized incident in the video where somebody started a grease fire while trying to cook French fries actually happened to him once in real life. Though not for the same reasons, Mike comes to the same conclusion.

Poetic Serial Killer: A non-murderous variation. The cast will destroy the video deemed the worst in a manner that they find befitting and clever (usually it in someway relates to the movie).

Ninja Vengeance initially seems to be setting itself up as an underdog story wherein the titular ninja protagonist, after being summarily defeated early on, will go on to hone his ninja skills, grow as a character, and ultimately emerge triumphant. Instead, the ninja doesn't fare any better in the action climax than he did before, and the film is resolved by the female sidekick simply murdering the antagonist with a shotgun.

Broken Aesop: After the heroes of Miami Connection have graphically and brutally killed a band of ninjas (in a severe Mood Whiplash from the rest of the film which the crew says resembled a college edition of Saved by the Bell), the end card says, "Only through the elimination of violence can we achieve world peace." This earns perhaps a bigger laugh from the crew than any other they had while watching the film. Ryan's Babe at least appears to be (the bizarre way the story is presented makes it unclear if it was intentional or an Accidental Aesop) partly about how Ryan shouldn't enable his Stalker with a Crush Love Interest, portraying her willingness to do extreme things for him since they were children and her suicidal depression after he runs away during the film's events as extremely unhealthy for both of them. This is abruptly thrown out the window when Ryan suddenly has a Love Epiphany and returns to his hometown to be with her despite everything.

Josh and Rich imitate the stripping scene from Psycho from Texas with the VHS tape of the movie itself, complete with VHS quality footage of the scene and obvious puppetry work. The beginning of Wheel of the Worst #9, where Jim and Colin are introduced as Canadian special effects artists that will be joining RLM once again, and that they will be doing all of the special effects for the episode. The audience is then given a taste of their "talents."

Rich mispronouncing words and phrases like "folding chable" or "the birds and the beads" and everyone making fun of him over it. At one point he mispronounces "unconscious" without anyone noticing, but his attempts to go back and pronounce it correctly just cause everyone to notice and make fun of him anyway, ending with Rich predicting all the post-production editing gags that are going to be used to make fun of him even further (while the video treats his predictions as a checklist.)

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: When they're watching the movie Black Cougar they show a clip where the hero jumps a small wooden fence using his supposed superhuman agility. The guys chasing him have to stop and go around the fence to keep chasing him when it's obvious they could jump the fence almost as easily.

Instead it's a Random Events Plot about Ryan running away from his hometown and Walking the Earth with tones ranging from crime thriller to Hallmark Movie-esque Glurge, with nothing in it really being Played for Laughs.

Sleeves Are for Wimps: The opinion of many of the directors of the bad action movies that the crew watches, since many of them have the protagonist wearing black tank tops. This lead to Mike coining the term "The black tank top theory", which states if you're a older, slobby guy making a movie, you will wear a black tank top at some point in the movie.

Gory Discretion Shot
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_49f20c6a
comment
Gory Discretion Shot Used a lot in Playing Dangerous, which the crew concludes was done to drop the film's rating from an R to a PG-13. Completely averted in The Aftermath, as noted by the crew, even when the movie is depicting children being massacred (when, up to that point, the movie has been corny, '60s-style science fiction. Used a couple times in The Exterminator, which made Jay think the VHS copy they had was an edited version when it was actually the theatrical cut they had. note  A Director's Cut exists on both DVD and blu-ray. Subverted in Future War. The camera cuts away as Robert Z'dar's cyborg character explodes, which annoys the crew, only to immediately cut to Robert Z'dar engulfed in flames, which improves their mood quite a bit.

Advertised Extra
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_4b0ef86e
comment
Advertised Extra: A frequently seen and discussed trope. Low-budget movies will often lure out a faded celebrity with name recognition for a single, low-effort scene so they can put the celebrity's name at the top of the box. The two top billed actors in Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper (Eric Roberts and Linnea Quigley) don't physically appear in the film at all. Eric Roberts only narrates the movie as the main character's older self, and Linnea Quigley has one voice-only line as the stewardess D.B. Cooper hands the note to. The crew's disgust at The Tomb was in part because top-billed Sybil Danning and Cameron Mitchell appeared for two and eight minutes respectively. The gang is often disappointed by the short screen times given to Cameron Mitchell, a favorite of the show. They often joke about how Mitchell usually appears in only few scenes and is usually sitting down, giving the minimal effort possible. This is what they thought happened with Robert Z'dar in Future War, as his character gets defeated in a seemingly lethal manner mere minutes after he's introduced. He does, however, return for the climactic fight.note Robert Z'Dar was hired for the final fight, then the producers decided to insert him into the earlier scene. Top Slots - Spotting The Best has possibly one of the most extreme examples of all time. The box advertises a "celebrity cameo", which turns out to be a seconds-long still shot of a magazine cover with Jay Leno on it. A*P*E advertises that the giant ape will fight a giant shark and a giant snake; in the actual movie, the fight against the shark is hilariously one-sided because they just had the actor wrestle with a real dead shark, and the "fight" against the snake consists entirely of the ape finding the snake clung to a tree, picking it up, and tossing it at the camera.

Unfortunate Implications
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_4bc5e1e8
comment
Unfortunate Implications: invoked In-universe, the reviewers thought the Key Matters video came off as "subtly racist". In the end, Mike kicks the remains of the crushed tape and declares "Take that, racism!" The Family Guide to the Internet's two female characters are the wife, who becomes visibly excited at any mention of online shopping, and the daughter, who's so clueless and incompetent at everything that she even makes self-deprecating remarks about it. The biggest problem the crew had with Supergirl was that the plot came to a halt so that both the heroes and the villain can do girly things like hit on guys and, in Supergirl's case, go to school and hang out with other girls. When Mike suggests that the antagonist of Undefeatable is going to use a woman as a human punching bag, Jack responds with "That would be awesome". He immediately realizes what he just said and follows up with "I mean, it's not awesome to hit women," which causes the others to laugh. The black maid from Psycho From Texas, who, despite the movie being made in 1975 and giving no reason to believe it doesn't also take place then, is dressed and acts like a mammy stereotype.

Black Comedy Rape
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_4c851777
comment
Black Comedy Rape: The gang makes plenty of rape jokes for comedy, though often to criticize the use of Rape as Drama. Invoked when the protagonist of Deadly Prey, just after his wife's murder, tells the Big Bad to take off his shirt. The crew surmises that Key Matters was made for kids like Mike who, as Jack outlines, would otherwise probably have been kidnapped, raped multiple times, and had their body dumped. Mike claims that this would have been the best outcome for him. In Deathstalker, with heavily dollops of Soundtrack Dissonance. The crew is thoroughly disgusted with How to Seduce a Woman Through Hypnosis because it's clearly a manual on how to stalk and rape women. Creepy isn't a strong enough word for the tape. It turns out the tape is not an actual manual, but a softcore porno for hypnofetishists. During Scavenger Hunt, the first scavenger description pulled is a movie depicting a rape on the cover of the tape. Rich is less than amused, then cracks that it leaves out looking in the Children's Film section. In Bad Movie Scavenger Hunt Too, the crew is amused by the scene in which a character that looks like "Dracula combined with a magician" rapes the female lead.

Downer Ending: Not Exterminator 2, but the review of it, which ends on the note that the lead actor may have spent all but one scene of the movie having been diagnosed with MS. This provides the perfect segue into the discussion of... The Aftermath, which ends after a killer climax with a shot of a young child, who has just murdered an adult, walking down a highway by himself with a revolver in hand. Jay is visibly the most disturbed by the ending.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: At the beginning, Rich and Jay are missing their beards while Jack actually has hair. It's very off-putting. Sometimes during the discussion section, the camera will physically zoom on the person speaking to get a close-up, and the first episode begins with odd upward-facing camera angles rather than the flat side-on tracking shot that usually opens the program. The first few episodes are only about 30 minutes long, but the show quickly stabilized into a 50-60 minute range. note  Jay revealed in podcast that this was because initially the film viewings and subsequent discussions were filmed on separate days, which lead to the group having less to talk about since they'd forget most of the details of the films. Jessi is a regular cast member in the first season or two before dropping out of the show. The first episode doesn't list the film titles in the title. Pre-selected films would be listed in the title for most future episodes, with only the random selection gimmick episodes and surprise reveals omitted from episode titles.

His Catchphrase of "Oh my god!" is heard often enough on Best of the Worst, but the two that he gives at the very start and very end of the screening are dripping with disgust, befuddlement and/or shock. Nothing like either variant has been heard before or since from Rich.

No Animals Were Harmed
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_5521ed05
comment
No Animals Were Harmed: Occasionally averted and always causing the gang to comment. Averted in Tree Stand Safety. Aside from a granny grinning over deer carcasses she just killed, the video shows a deer explicitly getting gut shot. Red Letter Media censor bars the actual bullet strike. The trope is invoked by Jessi, who sarcastically wonders if the "No animals were harmed" disclaimer will appear at the end of the video. Averted again during Beaks, which features pigeons being thrown at actors. They also become concerned that for the shot of a falcon being blown up with a rifle, they may have killed a real bird. They aren't entirely sure, but after going over the shot they do conclude that it probably wasn't real. Exploding Varmints Vol. 1 is entirely devoted to showing gophers being shot. The gang likens it to some kind of animal snuff porn.

Artistic License – History
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_56515a39
comment
Diamond Cobra vs. the White Fox begins with a flashback to June 20th BC and only gets weirder from there. Its bloated cast gets caught up in a inscrutable plot involving cursed jewelry, serial killings, characters getting possessed, turf wars, and an ancient sorcerer/possible alien turning bar patrons into zombies and werewolves. The muffled dialogue renders some scenes completely incomprehensible, as do the horrid special effects. The only way the crew can begin to explain the film is by approaching it as a puzzle, and even that isn't enough to prevent them from going insane by the end of the episode.

Letting the Air out of the Band: After a raucous celebration of Elves and Santa Claus — which reduces the whole gang to hysteria and causes Rich to break a rib from laughter — the gang has absolutely nothing to say about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure. Jessi immediately swaps the DVD for the original Christmas Vacation, triggering loud Christmas Music as the gang happily reminiscences about that film... but a Drone of Dread sets in when the topic inevitably turns back to Island Adventure. Rich and Jack's introduction of Supergirl (1984). They look like they just received sweaters for Christmas.

Off the Rails: The 2018 Halloween episode fell apart completely during the discussion of the first movie due to Mike, Jay, and Jack getting drunk. They talk about the movie normally at first, but then discussion devolves into being about two walls that kept popping up throughout the movie due to low budget, then after Jay makes them drink more shots, they just stop being able to focus at all, with a 30 minute time skip showing Mike and Jack accusing Jay of killing cats for some reason, with Jay cracking up and unable to defend himself. Rich, who doesn't drink, simply takes off his mic and walks away. Ultimately they had to stop there and waited two days before discussing the remaining two films, this time without alcohol of any kind.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The panelists announce which movies they're going to watch while standing in front of their vast bad movie archive. If you freeze the frame, you can read the silly titles behind them at your leisure. It got to the point where they released a 30 minute video of Mike announcing the title of every single one in his Mr. Plinkett voice, with an added "It happened again?!" for every single sequel. In Wheel of the Worst #15, Rich is inexplicably fascinated by the cassette tape of "Telepathic Communications with Animals". It's not explained why or even commented on. But later, when Jim is messing with it, if you pause it you can just about make out that it's actually a VHS copy of The Return of the King that was either taped over or used for ballast.

Spit Take: The gang sip beverages during their discussion, so this happens occasionally. Rich splutters into his drink during the discussion of The Exterminator, much to the group's amusement. During the discussion of Telepathic Communication with Animals, Mike starts laughing and spits out his beer when Rich mentions Stalin trying to force humans and apes to cross-breed with each other. Mike just barely avoids one (by covering his mouth with both hands) when laughing at Rich leaving the second time during the discussion of Undefeatable. In Plinketto #5, while watching Princess Warrior, a hard cut from a wet t-shirt contest to some characters standing naked in a tube is followed by a close-up of Mike doing one.

Non-Indicative Title/Secondary Character Title: Russian Terminator has no "terminator," and the character who is supposed to be a terminator is a ninja and is only a minor character. They thought Honorable Men was an ironic title, since the main character instead came off to them as a sleazy Dirty Old Man who spends the movie basically two-timing two girls that are both young enough to be his daughters and eventually tells his friends that girls like them aren't good for anything besides sex.

Author Appeal
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_6627695f
comment
Author Appeal: The gang identifies the author appeal in a number of videos: The Killer Eye has many, many shots of shirtless beefcake in their underwear with their crotches thrust toward the camera and rubbing their chests when they see the monster. The crew accuse the director of getting off on the male flesh. It's not a surprise David DeCoteau is an openly gay horror film director. Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper, another of David DeCoteau's films, doesn't even bother setting up the fanservice shots of shirtless men hanging around with each other and jogging through the woods. In fact, the actual plot involving Bigfoot and D.B. Cooper is practically a footnote and the blatant and unsubtle fanservice takes up most of the movie's run time. The guys are particularly hard on director Donald Farmer for having a fetish for young women suffering seizures on dirty ground and vomiting. This becomes blatantly obvious over the course of Shark Exorcist, where this scenario plays out repeatedly. When watching his Dorm of the Dead, the gang brace themselves for more. Sure enough, the plot finds a way for a young woman to have a seizure and collapse onto filthy ground. Members of the gang have their own examples: Rich bemoans that Jack wasn't present for the viewing of Hospital Clowning, as (in his words), "Jack is a fucking clown weirdo" and could've provided valuable insight regarding the video's "advice." Mike has a fondness for the elderly, even though he makes the majority of old jokes. In one episode, for example, he praises Christine Hamilton for starting the Geritol Follies and refuses to let the anniversary tape be destroyed, even though he was leading the charge on the riffing during the actual viewing ("Even our old jokes got old.") During the "Junka" episode, Rich warns Mike that he's going to be old soon and he's going to get major Laser-Guided Karma. Mike agrees, then claims to have invented "The Osteoperosis Dance." Everyone in the gang loves veteran B-movie actor Cameron Mitchell, causing them to celebrate whenever he's in the cast. When discussing him, they'll often cut to his best sequence, shouting, "Will ya close the fucking door?" in Terror in Beverly Hills. The gang loves the works of Neil Breen, to the point that they had one of his movies encased in glass "for emergencies." Jay's love of Giallo and similarly hyperviolent and sexually charged European horror films really comes into play with some of the horror movies featured on this show; notably, he's the only one not Screaming at Squick during the infamous Body Horror scene from Faust: Love of the Damned.

Fetish Retardant: invoked Curette and her female henchman standing shirtless together in the teleporting tube in Princess Warrior, which Jack describes as "the unsexiest nudity you'll ever see" and which Mike and Josh likened to them getting a clinical. The cast of California Big Hunks is far more attractive on paper than in practice. To wit: we have a cop with a bad case of Kubrick Stare and a metallic Speedo, a fisherman in a Village People getup getting it on in a swamp, a cowboy in a garish costume covered in glitter, a Michael Jackson impersonator, and a businessman who tries (and fails) to invoke Risky Business while in a locker room.

They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_6b12722e
comment
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: invoked In They Bite!, The '50s-style sea monster porno, Invasion of the Fish Fuckers, is far more interesting than the film it's in. The crew compliments the sequence's satire and expresses their wish that they were watching it instead of the actual film. One of the greatest perceived crimes of R.O.T.O.R. was that R.O.T.O.R. didn't have a climactic battle against invoked Robot Cop. Ninja Vengeance initially seems to be setting itself up as an underdog story wherein the titular ninja protagonist, after being summarily defeated early on, will go on to hone his ninja skills, grow as a character, and ultimately emerge triumphant. Instead, the ninja doesn't fare any better in the action climax than he did before, and the film is resolved by the female sidekick simply murdering the antagonist with a shotgun. Jay is disappointed with the Shakma plot in that they could have kept the LARP game going with the titular baboon on the loose. It would have been novel and creative, if nothing else. One of their main criticisms of Killer Workout was that, despite being a slasher movie set in a gym, a location that obviously lends itself to a lot of gimmicky murders involving workout equipment, almost nothing of the sort actually happens in the film. The workout equipment gimmick is only used a couple of times in the entire movie and the killer's weapon of choice is inexplicably an oversized safety pin. They thought Bigfoot vs D.B. Cooper was probably the biggest example they've seen on the show, since the premise sounds cool and ridiculous, but the actual confrontation between the two is only a few seconds long at the end of the movie. The rest of it is just endless shots of almost-naked men jogging around the woods and messing around with no particular plot to follow. They thought the twin brother co-directors of Feeders playing the main character and his evil clone was the only legitimately interesting part of the movie, but that they didn't use this effect to anywhere near its full extent.note In fact, it happens near the climax for about a minute, when one of the twins is killed. Spoiler: The wrong one, in fact. In fact, they suggest that this should've been the main focus of the movie, since given that the twins are the co-directors, it could have essentially been done on No Budget and wouldn't have relied on the incredibly fake-looking tiny grey alien hand puppets that the movie actually does focus on.

Gratuitous Rape: The guys actually led off one show saying that it isn't their fault that a lot of the bad movies they watch use Rape as Drama, usually as an excuse to show off tits, shock the audience, or establish a character as evil - rather than actually having something to say on the subject. It's one of their least favorite tropes, since scenes like this tend to suck all the fun out of the movie and instead make the viewing experience rather uncomfortable. They reviewed Dangerous Men poorly because it started off as something of a Rape and Revenge story, but was basically Gratuitous Attempted Rape: The Movie, including the film ending with the villain stopping to try to rape a random woman while being chased by the police. Deathstalker is literally Gratuitous Rape: The Movie. The film's opening scene is a bandit attempting to bind and rape a woman, only to be ambushed by a pack of goblins. The goblins begin to rape the woman, when Deathstalker shows up; he fends off the goblins and the bandit to save the woman, only to rape her himself. They've grown to hate this trope so much that they now react with open exasperation whenever they find out ahead of time that a movie will involve rape. This is best shown during Plinketto #5 where first the box of Nail Gun Massacre establishes it as a Rape and Revenge story and the movie opens in the middle of the gang-rape scene it centers on with no buildup, and then again when the sequel to the aforementioned Deathstalker comes up, which ended up being a surprising subversion since it was considerably Lighter and Softer than its prequel and didn't involve rape at all. In "Best of the Worst: Bad Movie Scavenger Hunt," the first criterium that Rich randomly draws is "Depiction of rape on the cover." He cringes and tells Mike, "You son of a bitch!" Mike insists that he didn't rig the selection as a prank. Mike ultimately allows Rich to trade in rape for another criterium at the cost of $1.

Insult to Rocks: During their review of the Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie, Jack describes the full-on "Flame On!" CGI effect of the Human Torch (which had not been seen before in the rest of the movie) as "ReBoot-esque". Rich Evans interrupts, saying "You are doing a disservice to ReBoot." Everyone else laughs uproariously.

Censor Box
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_6feeef5c
comment
Censor Box: Aside from standard censorship practice, this has been used as a gag a couple times. Exaggerated with The Tomb where a middle-aged stripper has the censor bar over her jiggling breasts. The bar then goes on to cover the entire bottom half of the screen. Whenever Neil Breen is in a pool in Double Down, the censor bar covers up his manboobs. At one point, it even covers his crotch as if he had a boner. In They Bite!, they have a large censor bar emanating from Ron Jeremy's crotch to make it look as if he's masturbating. A topless woman in Night Beast has her boobs covered with a censor bar that has the word "Censored" on it. Fade transition to the schlubby policeman she's about the make love with and the exact same censor bar covers his manboobs. During the discussion of Wormmania, Mike pulls out a huge, two-foot-long gummy worm and begins "tenderizing" it with his hands and nibbling on both ends. Pixelation over his hands and mouth, along with Jay's appalled reaction, makes it look far more sexual than it should be. It even goes so far as to censor his entire face during the act.

Excuse Plot Gymkata's Game of Death-esque plot is only there so that Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomasnote Technically an Olympic-level gymnast. His one shot at getting a gold medal was forever sidetracked by the US boycotting the 1980 Moscow Olympics can show off his gymnastic skills. Blood Debts has these in spades, only using plot points so that action scenes can happen and disregarding continuity from those plot points so that other action scenes can be set up.

A meta example occurs with Ryan's Babe. The cover makes it look like a raunchy Sex Comedy in the vein of American Pie or Road Trip and has them go into the screening expecting such a movie. This leaves them baffled when the very first scene opens with an Attempted Rape in the middle of the woods, whose victim then escapes and carjacks the titular Ryan at gunpoint, all played completely seriously.

 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_7374ab13
comment
Once More, with Clarity: After they introduce Dangerous Men, it cuts to the viewing, showing that whatever happens at the end causes Rich to continue his gag of throwing things at the TV. Then when they actually discuss the ending, it's because it ends on a freeze frame of two characters that have had barely any screen time and a woman who had just been introduced. Done with the entirety of Ryan's Babe, where the viewing footage before discussion is just a compilation of every time they were confused at a scene, without showing the scenes themselves. Over the course of the discussion, they show the scenes they were reacting to.

The Woobie: invoked How the crew views Becky in Wired To Kill, with Rich describing the entire movie as a miserable horror story for her to experience. It doesn't help that she depends on Steve, who insists on her doing all dirty work in his war against the gangs with his moronic plans since he's crippled. Maggie in Through Dead Eyes, a blind psychic who can see someone's death from their perspective if she touches their body after they die. The detective main protagonist forces her to help him catch a serial killer by tricking her, and then essentially kidnapping and holding her prisoner in his apartment, and outright handcuffs and gags her on the floor when he leaves her alone to make sure she can't leave or call for help. They flat out can't interpret her falling for him as anything besides Stockholm Syndrome, and what makes it even worse is she mostly fell for him because she interpreted a future vision as them being together, when it was actually the two of their bodies being heaped together after their deaths, meaning everything she went through leads to nothing but her murder anyway. It's to the point that they seem legitimately just a little bit horrified by her storyline.

invokedDisappointed with their previous draws in "Wheel of the Worst #10", the guys rig the wheel to consist solely of Exploding Varmints, Vol. 1. While the sick novelty of it is hysterical at first, it turns out the entire thing is indeed just a snuff film of gophers and prairie dogs getting blown up with rifles, despite its pretense of being an instructional video about safely hunting on other people's property. The footage soon cuts to them looking extremely bored and sullen.

Reckless Gun Usage: During the "burning at the stake" scene in The Last Vampire on Earth, Chloe confronts her family and their friends with gun she casually waves around and has her finger directly behind the trigger probably as some weird form of trigger discipline. Rich could not keep his eyes off the trigger when he watched that scene. They also bring attention to the fact that her family apparently stores the gun by just leaving it sitting in a random kitchen cabinet even though they have a young son who could probably reach it if he really wanted to.

The Alcoholic: Mike's love of booze is Played for Laughs. Jack sadly was a real life example of one, though he was fairly good at hiding it for the most part. Thankfully he's been a recovering alcoholic for two years now. The crew speculates Cameron Mitchell was one late in life, as his characters have a tendency to drink a lot; he also seems to have a problem with slurred speech and staying alert. His worst showing is in Low Blow where he barely moves and seems to have trouble staying awake the entire time. They also speculate that Dan Haggerty is an alcoholic as well. He also tends to slur his words as well, which is prominently shown in The Christmas Light where it sounds like he's struggling to narrate what's happening.

Vague Age: Most of the actors in Johnson Family Christmas Dinner appear to be roughly the same age, even though they're supposed to be a big extended family covering three generations. The pot-smoking "son," who is supposed to be a teenager instead looks about 30 and the "grandpa" character looks like he's maybe pushing 40.

Dawson Casting: Invoked with Black Roses, as all of the "students" seem to be the same age as the teacher (who is "older" because he has a beard). They're amused by an actor who looks like he's in his 30's who's constantly gesticulating to make him seem like a teen. Another obvious case shows up in Spookies, where the (supposed) main protagonist is visibly so much older than the teenagers he's hanging out with that at first the crew assumed he was supposed to be a chaperone at the Halloween party they were introduced coming from, and they spend the rest of the review calling him "Uncle Tony".

Actually Pretty Funny: Occasionally, the crew will laugh at the parts that they were supposed to laugh at, and take the time to congratulate the film when this happens. A notable example occurs in Low Blow, when Leo Fong spends the entirety of the film's ending credits trying (and failing) to start his car.

Stuffed into a Trashcan: Mike, Rich, Jessi, and Jay find themselves at an impasse when attempting to judge the fourth "Wheel of the Worst" picks, as all three are uniquely horrible. At long last, Mike grandly announces that they've come to a unanimous decision — and we cut to the Wheel of the Worst lying abandoned in a dumpster. When the Wheel returns, Mike states that Milwaukee sanitation rejected the Wheel. It's literally covered in garbage.

Don Beveridge in his "Customerization Seminar", a Motor Mouth who loudly hollers and has his sentences Punctuated! For! Emphasis! a lot. This is part of the reason for the gang's long-standing love Rudy Ray Moore, whose performances are always amusingly bombastic and over-the-top.

Gainax Ending
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_82accf22
comment
Shark Exorcist ends up being an incomprehensible mess that consists mostly of women writhing on the ground, subplots that go nowhere, and a Gainax Ending only about 45 minutes into its 70-minute runtime. What follows that are two completely unrelated scenes in the Leave the Camera Running variety, one of a random woman sunbathing, being creeped on and photographed by a pervert, and then suddenly stabbed to death by the nun from the intro; the second cuts in halfway through the credits and is just an adolescent girl wandering around a public aquarium, playing with plush sharks from the gift shop, and then leaning against the wall while rubbing a plastic shark all over her face and kissing it. They end up calling it the creepiest movie they've ever screened, just not for the reasons the creator probably intended.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Some videos on Wheel of the Worst are just so boring that the gang doesn't even bother reviewing them and instead watches a fourth movie instead. In Episode Four, the crew watches "Florence Henderson's Looking Great, Feeling Great". They do not include it in their discussion, and the video is not mentioned during the rest of the episode. Word of God states that they found no comedic value to the video, so they decided to turn it into a Let Us Never Speak of This Again joke. In Episode Nine, the gang had already watched two boring instructional videos and were faced with a third: Who's in Charge?, a video about pet management. It bores the crew so much that Rich Evans walks out of the room, grabs the copy of Rainbow's Remedy that had so disturbed the gang earlier, and makes everyone watch it instead.

Rainbow's Remedy features grief counselor Eloise Cole dressed up as a clown in an attempt to cheer up her audience, but her clown makeup ends up looking incredibly creepy, particularly the heart drawn on her nose, which looks like the nostril holes of a skull during most far shots. When the gang first observes the box of the cassette, the camera lingers on her face while eerie music plays and both presenters just stare in silence. In a later episode, Rich calls her "Eloisecole" (one word) as if she's an Eldritch Abomination.

Back from the Dead: Despite a rather horrific fate in Half in the Bag, George Lucas shows up at the end of the ''Star Wars Holiday Special Part 2" review. Rich Evans is mauled to death by the Showbiz Pizza Bear and returns as a ghost at the end of the 2015 Halloween special. He returns exactly one episode later. He tries to explain how he revived, but he is bluntly told that nobody cares. Max Landis even tells him he should have stayed dead. The Wheel of the Worst is unceremoniously dumped after Wheel of the Worst #4. It comes back a few weeks later. it returns as the Wheel of Misfortune in Wheel of the Worst #15 after Mike knocks it over and splits it in two at the end of #14.

Didn't Think This Through: In "Black Spine Edition #3," Mike and Jay establish the rules of playing Jenga with VHS cassettes: Each tape pulled from the stack gets added to the player's total, and the gang will watch all of the videos in the loser's collection. As the tapes begin to mount in the players' collections, a worried Rich can be heard off-screen asking if they'd thought the rules out properly. Ultimately the gang watches about a dozen videos in one sitting, though they turn off several prematurely and select only a handful to actually discuss.

comment
Monster Clown: A bizarre party clown with a ratty t-shirt saying "I Can't Say No" appears briefly in Bloody Birthday for no apparent reason and is considered by the crew to be scarier than the psychopathic children. Jay and Mike identify him as Bagul from Sinister. Rainbow's Remedy features grief counselor Eloise Cole dressed up as a clown in an attempt to cheer up her audience, but her clown makeup ends up looking incredibly creepy, particularly the heart drawn on her nose, which looks like the nostril holes of a skull during most far shots. When the gang first observes the box of the cassette, the camera lingers on her face while eerie music plays and both presenters just stare in silence. In a later episode, Rich calls her "Eloisecole" (one word) as if she's an Eldritch Abomination. Jack himself is, as Rich Evans put it, "a fucking clown weirdo." Jack has appeared in full clown makeup and outfit on his and Rich's show Previously Recorded. Downplayed with Dr. Bubba, the Christian hospital clown. Everyone agrees that they'd rather put up with his annoying proselytizing and terrible 'comedy' than the primordial terror that is Eloisecole. Also somewhat downplayed with T-Bone from ''T-Bone's World of Clowning". Their main problem with him is they find his face too angular to look friendly, and instead they make more jokes about the unintentional Ho Yay they find going on.

Mook Chivalry: While discussing The Instructor, Jay notes that movies usually has the bad guys run into frame and attack to avoid seeing the other mooks standing and waiting for their turn, but The Instructor used a overhead shot, so you can see the mooks standing in a circle and attack Burt Pesci (the protagonist) one at the time.

Wild Take: This happened when Rich declared his favorite pick of Ninja Movie was also his most hated, breaking the format of the show. Mike reacts by pretending an earthquake has knocked over his beer, and everyone flails around screaming "whooooooooooooa!" Jack goes bonkers during Wheel of the Worst #5, at one point knocking over the Wheel and yelling, "I have no regrets!"

Comes up repeatedly in Plinketto #4, where almost every dumb thing they predict before and while watching the movies actually ends up happening in them. Mike pretty much perfectly predicts that the Big Bad in Little Bigfoot will be a Corrupt Corporate Executive and even nails what he'll look like, after Jay remarks how stupid the plot of Turbulence 3 is getting, a character in the movie says something extremely similar almost immediately after, and they predict exactly how the plot of Turbulence 3 would be resolved purely by suggesting the dumbest possible way for the movie to end.

Never My Fault: Mike has this attitude a few times. When asked who's idea it was to use short films on the Wheel, he guiltily changes the subject, this after screaming at Rich for the idea of the Wheel. He also claims it's not his fault for breaking the Wheel because Jack knocked it over before, even though he screamed "Oh, fuck!" when Jack did.

Rewatch Bonus: They point out that the plot twist of Rock n' Roll Nightmare would retroactively make most of the movie Jon-Mikl Thor hanging out in a farmhouse by himself pretending there are other people there. They especially point out the awkward shower sex scene he had earlier in the movie would retroactively become him masturbating while tonguing the air, pretending he's with a girl.

Gambit Roulette
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_987be393
comment
Gambit Roulette Hands Of Steel has Raul pulling off a plan of revenge against Paco that, as pointed out by Jay, would require certain things to happen that he has no chance of foreseeing, such as Paco coming alone to rescue a girl that supposedly in danger and how he attempts to rescue her. A consequence of Partners (2009) trying to fill up a feature length runtime is its main villain pulling off one of these. In preparation for the cops that will try to take him down, he hopes that they will non-fatally shoot him and leave him with a wound that can easily be patched up by an EMT. To fulfill this, he buys out an EMT and an ambulance himself. Should the cops shoot him like he planned, he hopes that said EMT can get to the scene in time to rescue him before the cops find out he's alive and get patched up as quickly as possible before they notice. All of this goes off without a hitch. Easy Kill tries to be a conspiracy thriller, but it fails partly because pretty much the couple's entire plot (faking the husband's death by killing the main character, since both are played by Frank Stallone) is initiated by the main character himself, meaning there's no way they could've actually planned any of it.

AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_9b57f005
comment
Accent Upon The Wrong Syllable: The crew gets a lot of mileage on the actors of Russian Terminator clearly reading all their English lines phonetically, leading to hilarious line reads like, "That's what friends are for?"note It wasn't a question — the line reading made it sound like it was a question. A video featured in the sixth Wheel of the Worst episode is called "Kids and Airbags"; one of the guests, however, pronounces it "Kid Sand Airbags". This pronunciation continues in the seventh "Wheel of the Worst." As with Half in the Bag, Mike likes to intentionally mispronounce names and words as a joke. Invoked by Rich who claims that if the videos were edited to remove his frequent mispronunciations, they would have to splice seven different takes together simply to allow him to say "fire extinguisher", resulting in this trope.

The Law Enforcement Guide to Satanic Cults goes out of its way to describe firsthand accounts of the horrors of Satanism (child sexual abuse, murder, and non-heterosexual orgies), but undercuts its argument with footage that was clearly staged so as to confirm people's perceptions and convince them to reaffirm their Christian beliefs. The gang loathes the video's Blatant Lies and obnoxious agenda so much that they unanimously voted to destroy it.

Continuity Nod: Rich Evans with a Bandage over his hand after the ending to the Halloween episode. In episode 101, when Mike is forced to make his selection first (so he can't play Commander Contrarian), Rich asks him which film feels "new to the palate," which was Mike's justification for his much-reviled selection of Shark Exorcist. This time, Mike's selection of Honorable Men for being fascinatingly creepy was the unanimous view. The After Last Season spotlight has Rich snark that the movie had to be hooked up to life support via an aquarium, a reference to the Eloise Cole Rainbow's Remedy video featured in "Wheel of the Worst #9" from over seven years earlier. Mike lampshades this by calling it a deep cut.

This Is Gonna Suck: Anytime Jay says his trademark, "Oh, no...!" When Kitten Kommotion starts, after a piano note and a really off-key fake "Meow!" is sung, Mike snaps, "Okay, shut it off." It's only three seconds into the video! Rich's expression when Jack discovers that their copy of Supergirl contains bonus footage. The camera zooms on Rich's grimace as a scare chord plays. Jack's reaction to S.O.S.. His fears are unfounded since the crew really enjoy it. Rich's reaction to Dog Sitter. His fears are unfounded since the crew really enjoy it. When reading the description of The Item, when Mike reads that the criminals take the package back to their apartment, he mutters, "Oh, no," and surmises (correctly) that it'll take place in a college dorm, filled with movie posters and used pizza boxes. This generally how the panel reacts to new video selection gimmicks.

Failure Hero: Rich complains that the protagonist of Parole Violators is this, complete with a extended montage of him getting his ass kicked. They also thought the main protagonist of American Rickshaw (who they simply dub "Rick Shaw") was nothing but a useless idiot that couldn't do anything on his own, was only tangentially connected to the plot, and was ultimately nothing but a delivery boy in someone else's story. While he was certainly written as cool, they also thought the main character of Stone Cold ended up being a failure, since he doesn't save anybody. The feds tasked him with infiltrating a Nazi biker gang because they were planning on assassinating the state's government, but their plan works, and all of the targets are already dead by the time he gets to the scene. He doesn't even get the girl because when a female member of the gang starts having doubts about her involvement with them, he tells her not to leave, which ends up getting her killed.

Overly Long Gag
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly Long Gag: Rich says that had he made High Voltage, he would had used one impressive stunt 20 times. The episode then proceeds to do exactly that. The gag is repeated in their review of Order of the Black Eagle, showing an actor getting his head accidentally run over by an ATV. Rich points out that they only played the clip 19 times, prompting Mike to exclaim "One more time!" The clip is then repeated 20 more times. Given the arm and leg twitch when the "dummy" gets run over, they point out that it's most likely that this was a stunt gone horribly wrong that got used in the film anyway. note This was confirmed by a stunt man at this link. The "Tums Festival" gag, where Jay brings up a character from Hollywood Cop saying "Every day ends with a Tums Festival," and Rich swearing up and down that that line is from a completely different movie. Cue the appropriate Hollywood Cop clip playing proving Rich wrong, dozens and dozens of times as Rich continues to deny it. In Episode 29, Mike tosses a beer bottle over his head, and a large shard of the bottle lands on top of a nearby refrigerator. The episode treats it as a near-miraculous occurrence and replays it in slow motion over and over again.

Improv: Jay likes to think of the pre-fight argument between the band managers in Miami Connection as this. A later scene, wherein the black character's friends repeatedly ask him to tell them what's wrong, provokes similar speculation. Jay also points out that the "cancer-infected rats" line in Hard Ticket to Hawaii sounds like it was made up on the spot, both in terms of the line itself and how it was delivered. Jay doesn't compare the submarine action sequence from V-World Matrix to a Let's Play for nothing.

Vanity Project: Many films reviewed on the show clearly exist to feed the creator's ego, usually by showcasing their musical or martial arts abilities. The panel points out whenever a film is written and/or directed by its lead actor as a warning sign. The creator's character is usually a laughably Ideal Hero and The Ace. They also note that the characters often wear black tank tops for some reason.

Worst. Whatever. Ever!
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_a8f3e2f6
comment
Worst. Whatever. Ever!: Mike has a habit of declaring whatever terrible movie they're watching (usually, the consensus pick for Worst of the Worst) to be the worst thing he's ever seen. He does this so often it almost happens Once an Episode, and the others have taken to lampshading it. Doubles with Overly Narrow Superlative: They call "Linda" from The Osteoporosis Dance the worst elderly osteoporosis dancer ever. Mike then points out there's only two of them (and "Betty" is only marginally better). The entire crew unanimously vote The Tomb as the worst film they'd ever done, chiefly because they suspected it was a Springtime for Hitler by Fred Oley Ray. They later declared RepliGATOR to be the worst, or at least the most pathetic thing they've ever watched, since it's a softcore Porn Parody of sci-fi with failed elements of Screwball Comedy that mostly just comes off as an excuse for the writer/lead actor to film himself fondling hot, topless girls. After that, the title of "Worst Ever" went to Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper, which is essentially just 87 minutes of shirtless dudes walking around a forest, plus a relatively short fight between Bigfoot and Frank West. There's also the fact that each individual shirtless dude has their own scene where they meticulously walk upstairs, go into a room with a mirror, take their pants off, make poses while holding a gun, and then leave. The two top-billed actors, Eric Roberts and Linnea Quigley, only appear through voiceovers, with Linnea Quigley having only one line of dialogue. After Mike declares it as the worst film he's ever seen, Rich pipes in to say that he always says that, but this time it's actually true. Mike says this of Christy all while Laughing Mad, underscoring just how much he's lost it.. They declare the episode they did with Patton Oswalt to collectively have the worst film selections ever, especially Demon Cop. Patton is shocked to find out that he was there for the worst thing they ever watched. The video description for the 2019 Halloween Episode outright declares it one of the worst selections of movies they've ever been stuck with. Jack-O is dull and lazily made with a lot of underwhelming kills and a monster that's somehow completely non-threatening despite using a huge scythe as its weapon, and Shark Exorcist is named as one of the most disgusting things they've ever had to watch on the show, for featuring so many scenes of girls in bikinis writhing on the ground that they assume it was the director's fetish and overtly sexual scenes involving characters that are clearly meant to be either children via Dawson Casting or adults with mental disabilities. The only bright spot of the night was Rock n' Roll Nightmare which even then is boring, lame, and cliché for almost its entire runtime before the last ten minutes hits suddenly hits them with a wild twist ending and maybe the most amazingly stupid fight scene they've ever had on the show.

Soundtrack Dissonance
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_abad35b4
comment
Soundtrack Dissonance: In The Aftermath, the Big Bad kills women and children on camera to what sounds like goofy Looney Tunes music. V-World Matrix has commercial heavy metal music behind every single scene regardless of whether it's appropriate or not. Played for Laughs in "Wheel of the Worst #2" whenever Rich's reaction to the burning french fries scene is juxtaposed against the "Be Cool About Fire Safety" song. To demonstrate how little we actually see the titular CGI snake in Python II, every single shot of it (and its replacement) is put into a montage, backed by Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted". In one episode, they attach the Jurassic Park score to Theodore Rex, Carnosaur and Tammy and the T-Rex. At one point in Psycho from Texas, two men kidnap an oil baron, and for some reason the composer thought this would be an appropriate time to play a jaw harp.

Chekhov's Skill: Averted in Little Bigfoot. Lanya, the big sister in the film, is both a veterinarian and an environmentalist; a skill and a mindset that together would make a perfect setup for when Mama Bigfoot get shot in the leg by some hunters. She disappears in the middle of the movie, which opens up a Plot Hole on how Mama Bigfoot was able to walk normally during the ending since she was laying on the ground beside a log before that. They notice that the actress was visibly uncomfortable during one scene with a pawing guy, leading to speculation she quit the production because of sexual harassment.

Unintentional Period Piece: invoked The Skateboard Kid has so many of the characteristics that defined The '90s that the crew joked that the movie could actually be an elaborate period piece. The guys note that the set decorations for Primal Rage look like a parody of dated 1980s culture by featuring toys and posters of ALF, Ronald Reagan'', the Bartles and Jaymes guys, Spuds McKenzie, and more.

The line "You have a problem. You're gonna die." from Russian Terminator. The crew remembers it as "You've got a problem."

Lampshaded once again when Alexander from Robot Jox says "Yeah! We'll break your mind and kill you dead!" Referenced one last time at the end of Episode 6.

The gang notes that the cover of Get Even makes it look like the name of the film is "GETEVEN," so they all pronounce to the title as "GET-uh-ven." This carries over to naming the main character "Geteven" as well."

Be Careful What You Wish For: This is pretty much the standard for the series: Whatever tape the gang shows the most interest in watching will turn out to be the worst, and the tape the gang shows the most hatred and disdain for will turn out to be the best thing they watch that episode. Ever since the Wheel of the Worst was introduced, the crew have waited for the chance to watch Tree Stand Safety. When it finally happens the video switches between their excitement before watching it and their bored reactions watching it. It happens again on "Wheel of the Worst #6" when Jessi moves the wheel secretly so it lands on American Flatulators, which turns out to be god-awful. Inverted. Rich clearly didn't want to watch Dog Sitter. But he and the rest of the crew find it more entertaining than the other VHS tapes they watched in "Wheel of the Worst #7" because of its bizarre scenes and chaotic editing. Of course, that isn't saying much, considering its competition. invokedDisappointed with their previous draws in "Wheel of the Worst #10", the guys rig the wheel to consist solely of Exploding Varmints, Vol. 1. While the sick novelty of it is hysterical at first, it turns out the entire thing is indeed just a snuff film of gophers and prairie dogs getting blown up with rifles, despite its pretense of being an instructional video about safely hunting on other people's property. The footage soon cuts to them looking extremely bored and sullen. After four previous episodes in which Jack never gets to drop the Plinketto ball, he's finally given a chance. When the ball lands on Princess Warrior, everyone immediately berates him and treats him like a jerk who ruined their night. While preparing to view Pocket Ninjas, Josh notes that they have two versions of the film, one of which is from Universal Studios. Rich claims that he doesn't want to watch the Universal version for fear that they may have tried to improve the film through editing and that he wants to watch the worst version possible. The viewing of the film ends with a frustrated Rich throwing furniture around the room.

Rape and Revenge

comment
They've grown to hate this trope so much that they now react with open exasperation whenever they find out ahead of time that a movie will involve rape. This is best shown during Plinketto #5 where first the box of Nail Gun Massacre establishes it as a Rape and Revenge story and the movie opens in the middle of the gang-rape scene it centers on with no buildup, and then again when the sequel to the aforementioned Deathstalker comes up, which ended up being a surprising subversion since it was considerably Lighter and Softer than its prequel and didn't involve rape at all.

Crazy Is Cool

Crazy Is Cool: invoked The crew considers Miami Connection to be this as one massive Non-Serial Movie. The Killbike sequence from The New Gladiators, wherein, among other things, all the vehicles are Made of Explodium. The scene from Deadly Prey where Danton chops off The Dragon's arm and beats him to death with it, which causes the group to burst into laughter and applause. Playing Dangerous spends nearly thirty slow-motion seconds building up to the kid firing a Super Soaker filled with gasoline at a Mook trying to light a cigarette, with the crew on the edges of their seats all the while. It turns out to be an unintentional subversion; when it finally does happen, the film awkwardly cuts to a brief shot of the mook screaming and falling out of frame with only a weak smoke effect to suggest that he was even lit on fire. The entire group simultaneously gives an identical dejected groan at this. The ending of Blood Debts gets this reaction when, in the final seconds of the film, the protagonist produces a derringer-sized rocket launcher from his sleeve and blows the villain to hell, with the movie ending on a freeze frame with the villain mid-Ludicrous Gibs. Mike and Jack's immediate reaction (in between bouts of hysterical laughter) is to declare this "the best ending ever" and that the ending redeemed the entire rest of the film. The protagonist of Order of the Black Eagle has a baboon sidekick for no apparent reason. Said baboon flies a plane and later drives his own personalised tank into battle against the Nazis. The baboon was by far the crew's favourite character in the movie. Double Down, which the reviewers find so hilariously over-the-top and incomprehensible that guest reviewer Max Landis said the movie felt like watching a dream somebody else was having. Their reaction to Raw Force, especially Len Kabasinski, which stuffs kung fu, zombies, guns, explosions, kung fu zombies, Hitler, gratuitous nudity, and cannibal monks into one movie. Surviving Edged Weapons an over the top police training video which features cave men (in flashback), shuriken, machetes, and a Satanist cult all trying to stab, slash, and gore ordinary Milwaukee cops.

Hypocritical Humor: In "Wheel of the Worst #3", Jay and Rich are excited when the wheel lands on Tree Stand Safety. Cut to everyone watching the film with a bored expression on their face. Also an In-Universe example, the boyfriend from Instant Adoring Boyfriend complains that "[he] doesn't understand why women feel the need to take their clothes off in movies" while wearing nothing but a towel. The reviewers find this amusing. Invoked by Mike in "Wheel of the Worst #6". He and the rest of the crew make Black Comedy jokes and mock the elderly back up dancers from the Osteoporosis Dance video. He later criticizes Colin for laughing at them. When the group is discussing an actor with a drinking problem, the camera zooms in on Mike and Jay taking sips of their beers. Fun Tip: always remember to check your spelleng.[1] In "Plinketto #2" Mike learns from Google Maps that several scenes in Repo Jake were shot in the parking lot right outside the production crew's own address. The team discusses with plenty of knowing winks to the camera what kind of lazy film-makers would do such a thing. This is immediately followed up by several clips from RedLetterMedia's own Space Cop, which were filmed right outside their own office.

Accidental Innuendo: invoked The crew got some mileage out of an old man describing how he got hurt in Hands of Steel. When they're watching Randy Butcher's Backyard Stunting in Wheel of the Worst #9, they make a few jokes about the Ho Yay going on. Afterwards, everything in the video starts sounding like gay euphemisms to them. More often than not, the grappling demonstrations in "Kimo's Fierce Fighting: No-Holds Barred" look an awful lot like gay sex; it doesn't help that the camera holds on each position for an uncomfortably long period of time. Like with the Randy Butcher example above, the Ho Yay doesn't escape anyone's attention:

Beam Me Up, Scotty!: invokedInverted in the Spotlight episode on Hollywood Cop. Jay quotes Cameron Mitchell's character ("Every day ends with a Tums festival!") and Rich believes Jay is mixing it up with Dale Cummings' character from a later Amir Shervan film, Samurai Cop. Rich got it wrong, as repeated inserts of the "Tums festival" line hammer home.

Improbable Aiming Skills: During the discussion of The Tomb, Mike expresses his displeasure with the movie by throwing his empty bottle in a high lob behind the table... hitting the broken top half of another bottle that flies in a perfect arc, landing directly on top of the fridge. The discussion is paused as the amazing throw is shown again in slow motion.

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_bce16d24
comment
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? The mercs in Deadly Prey, who had been killing people in their Hunting the Most Dangerous Game camp, decide to capture Danton instead of killing him like everyone else in one huge Idiot Ball - even as The Dragon keeps killing his own mooks for no good reason. The Heel Face Turned merc even inexplicably refuses to finish off the Dragon when given the chance, which promptly results in his death. The sequel Deadliest Prey brings this Trope all the further. Pointed out at the end of Pocket Ninjas when the heroes decide to go with the villain's virtual reality game instead of just sucker punching him.

Incest Subtext: The crew could not interpret the McNamara twins' relationship in Twin Dragon Encounter as anything other than them being in love with each other, since they had way more sexual tension with each other than with their in-movie girlfriends, including refusing to go swimming with them so they can saw a log shirtless in a suggestive position, and at one point drive an ATV by having one of them sit in the other's lap. They theorize that since the movie is such a shameless Vanity Project, that they're so enamoured with themselves that they each can't help but be attracted to someone who looks identical to themselves.

Mind Screw
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_bef696dd
comment
Mind Screw The Aftermath's wild tonal inconsistency has this effect on Jay in particular. The Dance of Birth, a supposedly instructional video featuring completely nonsensical narration and randomly-arranged shots of flailing pregnant women, husbands, and women dancing with their babies (much of which is against a green screen for no apparent reason). The ending of The Amazing Bulk, which has the title character running through a CGI hillbilly town getting assaulted by stock CG entities and effects, including cars, random explosions, and the inexplicable lightning-hurling Zeus. The crew deems it the most confusing movie they've ever watched. Double Down, which baffled the crew so much that Mike was on his knees just staring and Max Landis was reduced to just sitting on the floor without realizing it. Even Jack was unable to understand what was happening on screen. It unanimously won Best of the Worst because of this. Pocket Ninjas is full of it, from the bizarre haphazard editing which goes back in forth in time, and Robert Z'Dar's scenes that are impossibly bizarre. The premise of Ryan's Babe is actually fairly simple (Ryan runs away from his hometown, wanders from place to place encountering some strange and interesting scenarios along the way, eventually decides to go back home). The way it was presented, on the other hand, makes it one of the most baffling things they've ever screened. The movie appears to be attempting a Forrest Gump-esque Walking the Earth plot, but does so very poorly, introducing and then resolving subplots so quickly that it blends together into a sloppy Random Events Plot.note For instance, one subplot about Ryan working at a restaurant, befriending a prostitute and her daughter, winning $20,000, and giving it to them after her husband takes them hostage and then kills himself (according to Rich) was introduced and resolved in about 1 minute Its tendency to use nested flashbacks that come out of nowhere and are about characters that haven't been introduced yet also leaves them baffled. Turtle Dreams is a justified example, given that it's a taped performance by avant-garde composer Meredith Monk. Diamond Cobra vs. the White Fox begins with a flashback to June 20th BC and only gets weirder from there. Its bloated cast gets caught up in a inscrutable plot involving cursed jewelry, serial killings, characters getting possessed, turf wars, and an ancient sorcerer/possible alien turning bar patrons into zombies and werewolves. The muffled dialogue renders some scenes completely incomprehensible, as do the horrid special effects. The only way the crew can begin to explain the film is by approaching it as a puzzle, and even that isn't enough to prevent them from going insane by the end of the episode. Iced is a minor example. The premise is that of a pretty standard, even cliché, slasher movie, but the editing makes it very confusing. There are numerous scenes that seem to be inexplicable dream sequences or fantasies, including one where a couple are making out in front of a fireplace but are apparently fantasizing about doing the exact same thing in a bathtub instead, and another where an Attempted Rape is cut away from to a scene of the same woman who was being attacked almost cheerfully getting into a hot tub to take a bath, with the previous scene being left totally unaddressed.

The main character of Curse of the Black Eagle's baboon sidekick was a huge hit with the crew. In fact, they went so far as to say every moment with the baboon worked, especially when he commandeers a baboon sized tank to mow down the bad guys. This continued when they watched the series' first film Unmasking the Idol, where they realized the baboon's name is Boon. Despite enjoying this movie far less than it's sequel, they agreed that Boon is still the best part of it, and that he should've had more to do. They then note that the baboon did go on to do a far better film than any of its castmates — The Fly (1986).

Better than a Bare Bulb: They frequently make jokes about the video's production and how the context of shots will change in the edit. For example, all of their skits introducing the movies they're watching are filmed before they see the actual movies, resulting in the guys giving vague, generic opinions on a movie they haven't seen yet.

Dull Surprise: The way the crew describes Robert Ginty's acting "talents". During the review of White Fire, they mock him with a quiz show style question "What is Robert Ginty feeling here?" It's very reminiscent of the Trope Namer Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode of Alien from L.A.. This is also used to describe Dan Haggerty and Leo Fong, where their lack of acting ability adds to the lazy charm of the movies they're in. Vampire Assassin has two of these. The title character generally has a dull, blank reaction to everything except when his master dies. There, he chews the scenery like there's no tomorrow. His love interest delivers her lines in such a monotonous and almost emotionless manner that the crew believed that she was dubbed by a text-to-speech program.

Big "NO!"
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_c2cedc1c
comment
Big "NO!": First, while watching Xtro when that scene of a woman giving birth to a fully grown man Jessi combines this with Rapid-Fire "No!". Then, all six members of the group when they watch the scene where the grandma smashes the pet snake into bloody pieces. Jessi even gives a high-pitched scream to complement the guys' visible revulsion. The crew all say "Oh, NO!" in reaction to the opening flashback murder in Crazy Fat Ethel II — due not to the murder itself, but the cheap VHS production value. Rich's reaction to the wheel of the worst landing on Dog Sitter, in contrast to Jay's enthusiasm. Screamed by the entire crew when Lisa starts to have sex with the alien slug in The Item. Jack is particularly loud when Lisa exposes her breasts for it. Rich's general reaction to Pocket Ninjas, especially when yet another Training Montage begins is: "NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Mike's reaction to a random passerby getting stabbed in The Sweeper. The entire crew's general reaction to the lions in Roar.

comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Jessi stops appearing on the show after the first couple years. Red Letter Media has never given an official explanation for why, evading the question whenever it has been asked (even the fan-run Reddit has banned people from asking). Interestingly Jessi can still be heard laughing off-screen in episodes after her departure, though this too would eventually stop happening. Len Kabasinski collaborated several times with the RLM crew during the show's early years but has not appeared on Best of the Worst since 2017. Jim Maxwell, one of Those Two Guys with Colin Cunningham (ironically enough), hasn't appeared since 2019. Colin also stopped appearing for a two-year span, but there were valid logistical reasons for that, and he resumed appearing in 2021 and has returned to semi-regular status.

Can't Hold His Liquor: Pretty much everyone except for Rich Evans, who doesn't drink, but Jack was the most notorious lightweight. Especially on Halloween episodes. Behind the scenes, however, this sadly wasn't true at all. Jack was said to be the heaviest drinker of all of them, and could hold his liquor better than anyone. The reason it didn't take much to make Jack shitfaced is because he would often drink heavily before taping.

Fan Disservice The shot of the pregnant woman with the hairy armpits in The Dance of Birth. Kitten Natividad in The Tomb (whom the crew somehow didn't recognize), who was censored by the crew by blacking out nearly half the screen. Almost every sex scene in Mad Foxes, including one that takes place in a bathtub where the main character appeared to be bathing in pissnote actually champagne and another that focuses heavily on his ass crack and makes it look like he crapped without wiping. They even begin to wonder if the movie is actually some kind of fetish porn. The nudist colony in Experience The Freedom of the Naturist Lifestyle consists of little more than "a bunch of gross old people", as Mike puts it.

Shout-Out: Watching Gymkata, the crew tells, "GYMNASTICS!" when the hero attacks using gymnastics, then one yells, "GYMKATA!" when he does it again. It's unknown whether the crew is aware that it was a Catchphrase for Mystery Science Theater 3000, though Mike professes to be a fan. While the VHS copy of American Flatulators is destroyed, footage from Un Chien Andalou is shown. In "Plinketto #4," Mike mistakenly calls Turbulence 3 's shock-rocker character Slade Craven "Slade Wilson". This doesn't go unnoticed by Rich and Jack. Jay later mistakes the same character for Sammy Hagar.

Took the Bad Film Seriously
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_cbde3dfd
comment
Took the Bad Film Seriously: invoked The crew concludes this is the case with Mario Van Peebles from Exterminator 2, who gave a very sincere performance. The director for Suburban Sasquatch appears to be convinced that he's making a high concept film and made a film journal documenting his efforts. Their main problem with Night of the Lepus was that, for such a ludicrous premise as giant killer bunnies that could have made a good campy Affectionate Parody of 50's style horror movies, everything in the movie was played arrow-straight, to the point that the there aren't even any plot twists or complications in how the giant rabbit problem should be fixed.

Damned by Faint Praise: Jay's example of "something good" about Lethal Ninja. Mike describes Freddie Williams' picks for the 50th episode as "two pretty close to darn good gems." In his next appearance in episode 74, Freddie claims that the best thing about Cybernator was its' cover art. He then quickly clarifies that he was being sarcastic, for fear of ruining his reputation as an artist.

Fight Scene Failure:invoked Pointed out in Killing American Style where one of the villains manages to knock out the protagonist by flicking his gun a few inches above his head. invokedThey also point out an inversion in Twin Dragon Encounter. The McNamara twins use well-executed kickboxing moves in their fight scenes, but the fights are over so quickly (along with bad shot composition and unnecessary slow-motion) that it looks terrible on camera. The twins seem to have realized this, as their next film, Dragon Hunt, opted for Rule of Cool over realistic martial arts.

WTH, Costuming Department?: invoked The crew's reaction to the look of the protagonist of Killing American Style, who, according to Rich, "looks like the world's biggest douchebag" with his perm, pigtail, pink clothes, and low cut shirts. Suburban Sasquatch had police officers that looked more like pretend mall cops on a budget than actual cops you would find at a police station. The crew dedicated a section of their review of the movie dissecting those costumes and how to make a better looking police uniform on an indie budget. There's also the Suburban Sasquatch itself. Even looking past the obvious cheapness of the costume, who thought it would be a good idea for it to have a giant dick? The fully-transformed werewolf in Lycan Colony is noted by the crew to not look at all like a realistic or threatening monster and more just look like a fursuit taken directly from a furry convention.

Schmuck Bait: Jack offhandedly plugs a Shock Site to the camera for a second during the second "Wheel of the Worst," with Mike genuinely questioning what it is. A number of videos that feature on Wheel of the Worst portray themselves as educational videos, but are actually just a cheap scam with worthless content. Exploding Varmints, Vol 1. purports to be an instructional video about how to hunt "varmints" on other people's land, but it's obviously just an animal snuff video made by a psychopath. One video purporting to show the viewer how to gamble at slots effectively is simply a hyperactive man reading the payouts of slot machines to the camera, and consistently losing money.

Refuge in Audacity
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_d45c0b86
comment
Refuge in Audacity: Josh provides a nice instance of this during the discussion of Gary Coleman's obvious lack of enjoyment in filming his safety video. Mike's verdict that The Dance of Birth was the worst, since it had no redeeming value, while Candid Candid Camera vol. 6, though disturbing for its exploitative footage of nude women, had value simply because an old man could masturbate to it. Jessi is left speechless by this reply and can't dissuade Mike's opinion. Jay's claim that the natural, satisfying resolution to Bloody Birthday would have been for the kids to be graphically murdered by the adults onscreen, citing Beware! Children at Play as a positive example. Gillian's expression as he's saying this is what really seals the deal. The crew consider the ending of Blood Debts to be one of the best endings in film history because it's so out of nowhere. The entire "Dom DeLuise lovechild" monologue from Plinketto #2, where photos of the beloved late comedian smiling are edited over all four hosts — red-faced, crying, and helpless with laughter — as Mike explains how Dom could possibly get pregnant from a passerby sticking his penis in the fat fold of Dom's armpit. Somehow, it mostly involved same-sex reproduction. Subverted with the Exploding Varmints video. They start out laughing at the absurd premise of watching ground squirrels get blown apart with high-powered rifles, but after a few minutes they realize the video isn't taking refuge in audacity at all, and is basically a prairie dog Snuff Film, at which point they become disgusted.

Walking Shirtless Scene
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_d4bb4e51
comment
After that, the title of "Worst Ever" went to Bigfoot vs. D.B. Cooper, which is essentially just 87 minutes of shirtless dudes walking around a forest, plus a relatively short fight between Bigfoot and Frank West. There's also the fact that each individual shirtless dude has their own scene where they meticulously walk upstairs, go into a room with a mirror, take their pants off, make poses while holding a gun, and then leave. The two top-billed actors, Eric Roberts and Linnea Quigley, only appear through voiceovers, with Linnea Quigley having only one line of dialogue. After Mike declares it as the worst film he's ever seen, Rich pipes in to say that he always says that, but this time it's actually true.

Fake Shemp: The crew quickly points out that the final fight between Frank Stallone's character and the terrorist leader in Terror In Beverly Hills is obviously done with stand-ins since both of their faces are never in the same shot. They estimate Robert Z'Dar appeared in 4 or so brief face shots and had a body double to the rest in Future War. In Carnivore they notice a lot of scenes featuring the female FBI agent where she's either awkwardly facing away from the camera or is suddenly asleep with her face covered, leading them to think she was played by a different actor in a wig for those scenes. Rich speculates it was because the actress was in a Crest toothpaste commercial and was thus too big a star for the film to afford.

Unperson: Though the crew had been quietly distancing themselves from him for some time since initial sexual assault allegations were made in December 2017note The "Hollywood writer" at the conclusion of the Jay/Plinkett wedding arc on Half in the Bag, played by Jack in the finished episode, couldn't be more obviously an intended cameo for Landis; and the "Break in Case of Max Landis" glass was renamed to remove any reference to him - and was indeed broken even after constant protests from the crew of having to "wait for a special guest" before they watched more Neil Breen movies, Max Landis finally got this treatment in full after he was accused by multiple women of sexual abuse in June 2019. The video featuring him (The Photon Effect/How I Saved the President/Double Down) - their most popular BotW video at the time, with over two million views - was delisted, as was their "Conversation with Max Landis" interview video, and even their excerpted "Rich Evans Explains Double Down" video.

Ensemble Dark Horse
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_d8c10bd9
comment
invoked Ensemble Dark Horse Gene Simmons's character in Never Too Young To Die is said by the group to light up the film whenever he's onscreen. The crew mentions that they'd like to watch a film entirely about the Exterminator's jovial best friend going to bars and picking up ladies - or, better yet, that he was the Exterminator. Robot Cop from R.O.T.O.R. is rightly described as the film's only interesting character. He has a delightfully silly design, his vocal performance is hilarious and oozing with personality, all of his lines are gold, and the movie is just begging for him to face off against R.O.T.O.R. in the climax. invoked Alas, he disappears halfway through the movie, though the method by which he does so goes a long way toward making up for it. Crazy Fat Ethel II has Granny, who is charming not only on the basis that her home, colleagues, and actress are seemingly those of the director's actual grandmother, but also because of her flawlessly condescending delivery of the film's best line — her response to Ethel's demand "YOU GIVE ME THOSE PRETZELS, GRANNY!": "I will not." The man who thinks he's a spider is also highlighted. Cameron Mitchell in general. Any time he gives a sincere performance, chews the scenery, improvises, or is a visibly drunken wreck, the crew are delighted. Deadly Prey, Terror in Beverly Hills, Low Blow, and Hollywood Cop are his most memorable appearances to them. They like him so much that they decided to watch Space Mutiny solely because he is in it. The crew took an immediate liking to Colonel Grandpa from Alienator, owing to his hands-on and practical approach to problems (to quote Rich, "shit gets done" in his presence), his hilarious dialogue, and his surprisingly reasonable demeanor overall. Nighthawk from Kill Point, The Dragon to Cameron Mitchell's character, who they think just keeps getting cooler and cooler as the movie goes on because of how efficient and implacable he is. He effortlessly sniffs out Richard Roundtree's character as a cop with The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction and starts shooting as soon as he knows for sure, responds to a woman shooting him in the gut by briefly clutching the wound, then standing up straight and shooting her back like nothing happened, and once it's clear Mitchell's character has lost it, he just kills him and tries to run off with the loot himself. They liked him so much that at some point they started actively rooting for him to get away with everything. The main character of Curse of the Black Eagle's baboon sidekick was a huge hit with the crew. In fact, they went so far as to say every moment with the baboon worked, especially when he commandeers a baboon sized tank to mow down the bad guys. This continued when they watched the series' first film Unmasking the Idol, where they realized the baboon's name is Boon. Despite enjoying this movie far less than it's sequel, they agreed that Boon is still the best part of it, and that he should've had more to do. They then note that the baboon did go on to do a far better film than any of its castmates — The Fly (1986). Monique Gabrielle (of Deathstalker 2, Silk 2, and Evil Toons) seems to be becoming one as of the 2022 Halloween episode, at least according to Jay and Tim (albeit for different reasons ). Also helping is that two of the three movies of hers they have watched were Surprisingly Improved Sequel's to two of the worst films they ever watched (Film/Deathstalker with its gratuitous rape and Silk which was so boring they abandoned the movie halfway through).

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: During the screening of Robo C.H.I.C., most of the crew leave, at time, because of how bad the film was. Rich does this twice during the Undefeatable discussion after feeling insulted by Mike, Jack, and Josh. The second time causes Mike to uncharacteristically completely lose it, as Josh giggles uncontrollably. A title screen pops up both times saying "RICH EVANS IS DEFEATABLE". The entire group reacted this way to the hour long Nightmare On Drug Street. Everyone but Mike attempts this in The Black Spine Edition, but Mike prevents them from leaving by grabbing their car keys. Rich does this again in the 100th episode when Mike suggests "How to Have Cybersex on the Internet" was made for people like Rich; he is replaced by Jay for part of the subsequent discussion. Jack does this for the "Black Spine" portion of the discussion. It becomes a Running Gag when Mike and Josh also do it.

Breakout Character: Rich Evans is treated as a parody of this in-universe; receiving an And Starring credit in the cast list and often being greeted with greater fanfare than the actual guest stars, all because an embarassing picture of him was featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Out of universe, while Rich arguably is the most popular of the hosts and the source of much of the fanbase's in-jokes, he is not featured on the show particularly more prominently than anyone else and is even occasionally excluded from the panel.

Mondegreen Gag: invoked The way the little sister in Lost In Dinosaur World delivers the line about her brother's explorer costume "It's a park, not an African jungle" is so rushed and slurred that they all initially mishear her as saying "not a fucking jungle." They spend the entire review of Diamond Cobra vs The White Fox calling Esaias the wizard "Egg Salad" because the audio editing is so garbled in every scene he says it in that they actually couldn't make out what his name was supposed to be.

The cast of California Big Hunks is far more attractive on paper than in practice. To wit: we have a cop with a bad case of Kubrick Stare and a metallic Speedo, a fisherman in a Village People getup getting it on in a swamp, a cowboy in a garish costume covered in glitter, a Michael Jackson impersonator, and a businessman who tries (and fails) to invoke Risky Business while in a locker room.

Decoy Protagonist
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_df410b77
comment
Decoy Protagonist: They've watched many films with this trope in play. The hero of "Terror in Beverly Hills" just disappears with no explanation to make way for Frank Stallone's character to save the day near the very end. The gang theorized they were supposed to be the same character but they could only afford Stallone for so long, so they made a new character to stand in for almost all his scenes. "Uncle Tony" is The Hero of "Spookies", but thanks to obvious reshoots, he's killed to make way for "Dr. Acula's" bride, with Jay noting that the audience doesn't meet the true protagonist until 80 minutes into the movie. The summary on "Action USA's" box goes so far as to spoil the death of the apparent main character, then abruptly mentioning the new protagonist's plot.

Hilarious Outtakes: Thanks to the edit they sometimes leave in some behind the scenes reveals, showing, for example; Violently knocking some of the tapes on the floor in one episode's intro will in fact break the mechanism inside one of the cassettes, resulting in the need for a 'tape transplant' between cases. Some VHS tapes are so old and decrepit that they will get stuck inside the player. Some people/everybody getting drunk can lead to belligerence, disagreements, loss of the thread, and even having to start over when everyone has sobered up.

Made of Explodium The crew gets some mileage from watching a truck falling off a cliff in The Vindicator that somehow explodes in mid-air. Let's not forget the exploding motorbikes from The New Gladiators! The Grim Reaper in Spookies, who after being pushed from haunted house's second story, violently explodes for no clear reason. The panel then begins joking he was supposed to appear in following film, Action USA and that all the explosions in that film were caused by grim reapers.

Hollywood Satanism: Surviving Edged Weapons features a segment where the cops bust in on a Satanic ritual and are attacked with a ritual dagger used for Human Sacrifice. The gang are utterly astounded by this development and begin cheering as soon as they realize what's happening. The Law Enforcement Guide to Satanic Cults goes out of its way to describe firsthand accounts of the horrors of Satanism (child sexual abuse, murder, and non-heterosexual orgies), but undercuts its argument with footage that was clearly staged so as to confirm people's perceptions and convince them to reaffirm their Christian beliefs. The gang loathes the video's Blatant Lies and obnoxious agenda so much that they unanimously voted to destroy it.

Narm: invoked Invoked during Deadly Prey on the actor playing the Corrupt Corporate Executive. And again during Cyber Tracker. "The world's silliest death truck," built by the Exterminator. It's said to be reminiscent of what would result from the Home Alone kid's efforts to build a death truck. They repeatedly harp on the name HauntedWeen and seem to consider it one of the lamest titles they've ever seen. They also have a hard time taking the movie's slasher seriously because his name is Eddie Berber, which Jay says just makes him think of Gerber brand baby food.

No Budget: invoked Most of the movies reviewed on the channel are independent films made with extremely low budget. Selections range from schlock B-movies made by professional filmmakers all the way down to amateur productions filmed with camcorders in the director's living room. Presumably because The Killer Eye blew most of its money on the prop of the titular eye, its set is incredibly cheap-looking. The crew surmises that it's the basement of a Goodwill location.invoked Very clearly shown in V-World Matrix, which has Styrofoam cups used to drink beer in the virtual world and special effects that literally look like they were done in Microsoft Paint. The only remotely passable special effects sequence is lifted straight from another movie.invoked Space Mutiny is an attempt to film a Space Opera on a very tight budget, forcing the filmmakers to design crappy sets with computer keyboards taped to walls, try to pass an industrial factory off as a spaceship in spite of the sunlight beaming in through the windows, reduce the action climax into a golf-cart race, and make extensive use of repurposed stock footage. Crazy Fat Ethel II is even worse, in that it appears to have been shot with an old VHS video cameranote complete with audio bleed from the camera's motor and in someone's house, with the neighbors as supporting actors.invoked Future War, which is best described by Josh as "a child's fight scenario shot on a $17 budget", exemplified by the infamous "cardboard video camera" which the crew did not fail to notice. Traveling With Ooga Booga, which was described by Josh as "sub-Plan 9" and features bubble wrap taped to the walls and an Atari 2600 controller posing as one of the spaceship controls. Johnson Family Christmas Dinner appears to have been filmed in somebody's house with a camcorder and the cast just appears to be people the director knows. And even though it takes place during Christmas, there are barely any decorations around the house, not even a Christmas tree. It seems like all of the money spent on Diamond Cobra vs. The White Fox went to paying SAG-AFTRA union actors their minimum scale. Not only are the production values so low with Off-the-Shelf FX and cheap video effects, the film has such locations as an Olive Garden. The film even showed that the lead actor/director/producer/singer's mother did some of the camera work — and it shows.

Ryan's Babe at least appears to be (the bizarre way the story is presented makes it unclear if it was intentional or an Accidental Aesop) partly about how Ryan shouldn't enable his Stalker with a Crush Love Interest, portraying her willingness to do extreme things for him since they were children and her suicidal depression after he runs away during the film's events as extremely unhealthy for both of them. This is abruptly thrown out the window when Ryan suddenly has a Love Epiphany and returns to his hometown to be with her despite everything.

No Ending: Dangerous Men just stops on a freeze frame of one new character arresting another new character in front of another new character. It's especially egregious in that the film took almost thirty years to make. Johnson Family Christmas Dinner ends about as abruptly. After building up several family conflicts over the course of the movie and resolving a couple of them in the last few minutes, three more are built up to be resolved in rapid succession before an abrupt Smash Cut to the credits before anything is said. Biohazard ends with the female lead suddenly revealing that she's actually an alien and was behind everything. She rips off her skin, reveals her true form, and cackles only for someone offscreen to yell cut and the film cuts to credits. The reminder of the runtime is just credits and outtakes.

The crew is convinced that it's somebody's crappy student film that somehow got released into the world. The Dance of Birth has elements of this. The crew goes into it expecting it to be instructions detailing stretches and breathing exercises for pregnant women, but what they got was a bunch of pregnant and non-pregnant women flailing around while a Granola Girl narrator babbles on about incoherent new-age crap. Turtle Dreams is described by the crew as feeling like a parody of incomprehensible avant-garde films. The gang notes that the synopsis on the back of the box is such a surface-level description that the author must have been just as baffled as they are by what any of it is supposed to mean:

Distracted by the Sexy: In Terror in Beverly Hills, the crew finds two FBI agents in a helicopter tracking a terrorist in a white limo being distracted by two topless girls in a pickup truck hilarious - even more so as that's why the terrorist gets away.

Bad "Bad Acting": A fade-in of a Christmas Special of the Best of the Worst has the crew seated at a table and "discussing" amongst themselves, a la daytime talk shows. Rich is clearly looking at no one, moving his mouth without speaking, and absurdly gesticulating with his arms.

Easy Kill tries to be a conspiracy thriller, but it fails partly because pretty much the couple's entire plot (faking the husband's death by killing the main character, since both are played by Frank Stallone) is initiated by the main character himself, meaning there's no way they could've actually planned any of it.

Iced is a minor example. The premise is that of a pretty standard, even cliché, slasher movie, but the editing makes it very confusing. There are numerous scenes that seem to be inexplicable dream sequences or fantasies, including one where a couple are making out in front of a fireplace but are apparently fantasizing about doing the exact same thing in a bathtub instead, and another where an Attempted Rape is cut away from to a scene of the same woman who was being attacked almost cheerfully getting into a hot tub to take a bath, with the previous scene being left totally unaddressed.

Big-Lipped Alligator Moment
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_f6e10f3e
comment
invoked Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In described movies: The climactic battle with the snake in Hard Ticket to Hawaii, which has no relevance to the rest of the film's plot. The scene earlier in the movie involving an assassin riding a skateboard while carrying a blow-up doll also gets this reaction. The ending sequence of The Amazing Bulk, which features the Bulk jogging through a disjointed multitude of stock CGI locales populated by a leprechaun, a kid playing soccer during a helicopter air strike, and a hostile, lightning-hurling Zeus. The crew declare it the most baffling thing they've ever watched. The five-second shot of the creepy birthday clown in Bloody Birthday, who has no significance to the plot but provides the movie's only genuinely frightening moment. From Crazy Fat Ethel II, the lengthy scene of the spider-guy erratically moving around a small section of the backyard. The group speculates that, during filming, the camera was pointing in the wrong direction and filming the director instead of the actual scene. The scene from Psycho From Texas in which the titular psycho forces a young female bartender to strip naked and dance as he pours beer all over her. The crew explains that, though it could have been a genuinely well-done piece of disturbing character-building in a different context, it comes out of nowhere, clashes wildly with the rest of the film, and gives the impression that the director made the whole movie out of a Sick and Wrong urge to film that one scene. Near the end of Johnson Family Christmas Dinner, everyone decides to go to bed after having an argument. Jay points out that they're apparently sleeping during the day, and Rich jokes that they're actually a family of Blaculas. Right after he says this, one of the family members is shown to be sleeping in the corner standing up with his arms folded over his chest like a vampire. It comes out of nowhere and there is no explanation for why he's sleeping like this. Whole described movies in context of the show: Miami Connection, to such a degree that it wins the title of Best of the Worst on this basis alone. Not only does The Aftermath's tone and content shift wildly between family-friendliness, gut-wrenching violence, and nihilistic despair, but all of the film's darkest content is set to music reminiscent of Looney Tunes. The Dance of Birth, a.k.a. "the greatest movie that David Lynch never made." Shapeshifter is described as at least five completely separate movies (or potential elements of one miniseries) packed into a single, incomprehensible children's film. The Item. A movie made almost entirely out of meaningless stylistic gestures and failed attempts at Rule of Cool. And then there's the sex scene between a woman and an alien slug at the end. Double Down, where director/writer/star Neil Breen portrays (in Rich Evans' words) "the world's greatest secret agent/soldier/hacker/computer scientist/biotechnology-developing terrorist with magic cancer powers." The plot only thickens from there, with magic rocks, ghosts of dead wives and parents, cryptic messages written in blood, deadly invisible force fields, Neil Breen's ballsack, cans of tuna, and other "meaningless, empty stuff with no purpose" leading the group to agree that it's the weirdest movie they've ever seen. invoked The next film the crew review, Pass Thru, is more disturbing than random, but they still find it incomprehensible. Deathstalker is considered this due to the constant Gratuitous Rape and Soundtrack Dissonance in the Sword and Sandal Heroic Fantasy. Pocket Ninjas not only consists of six long Training Montages, but it seems to have been completely edited way out of order. In addition, Robert Z'Dar's scenes consist of him completely making a fool of himself, such as acting like one of The Three Stooges or bouncing on balloons. Dangerous Men is directly compared to Double Down in terms of incomprehensibility. Ryan's Babe baffled the panel with its plot of utterly random events to such an extent that the pre-discussion movie montage is limited to shots of the panel exclaiming, "Wait, what?" over and over and over again. Shark Exorcist ends up being an incomprehensible mess that consists mostly of women writhing on the ground, subplots that go nowhere, and a Gainax Ending only about 45 minutes into its 70-minute runtime. What follows that are two completely unrelated scenes in the Leave the Camera Running variety, one of a random woman sunbathing, being creeped on and photographed by a pervert, and then suddenly stabbed to death by the nun from the intro; the second cuts in halfway through the credits and is just an adolescent girl wandering around a public aquarium, playing with plush sharks from the gift shop, and then leaning against the wall while rubbing a plastic shark all over her face and kissing it. They end up calling it the creepiest movie they've ever screened, just not for the reasons the creator probably intended. Diamond Cobra vs The White Fox is so incomprehensible that Mike and Jay end up making it a Spotlight Episode just to spring it on Rich, who had never seen it. The bizarre plot about two cursed necklaces and aliens is impossible to follow because of how little explanation there is for what's going on and the terrible audio work rendering a good chunk of the dialogue unintelligible anyway. That's not even to mention the fact that the movie also has at least a few specific examples in it, like a scene in a prison where a female guard accuses a male inmate of being her baby's father (and apparently phasing through the bars to appear inside the cell with him in the process), when neither character appears before or after this scene. Otherwise in context of the show: Jay, for no apparent reason, wears a tuxedo during the discussion segments of Episode 4. No one addresses it in the video. It was apparently in response to fan criticism of his wardrobe in previous episodes.

Neologism: During Playing Dangerous 2, Rich talks about "non-medy", in which an attempt at comic relief is so painfully unfunny it actually makes the movie less entertaining. During the review of KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, Rich blows an obvious chance to make a good pun, Mike tells him he "David Prior-ed" it, meaning he ruined the chance to make an easy score, as David Prior did nothing with a horror film set in a gym (Killer Workout).

Follow the Leader
 Best of the Worst (Web Video) / int_fc451ba4
comment
Follow the Leader: invoked Deadly Prey is such a carbon copy of Rambo that it drifts into mockbuster territory. Just as the crew speculates, the movie Russian Ninja was retitled Russian Terminator to cash in on Terminator's popularity. Never Too Young to Die aggravates Mike because it comes off as a studio-driven combination of then-popular elements: John Stamos and Vanity as the leads, a plot straight out of a James Bond movie, and inexplicable Mad Max villains. Not only is Playing Dangerous an uninspired Die Hard-style action movie, but it's packaged and advertised as a shameless Home Alone ripoff. The New Gladiators is described as The Running Man "shot cheap and Italian." Cyber Tracker is a blatant ripoff of various other movies (most notably Terminator), and ends up being so boring that the crew are incapable of even paying attention to it as it's playing. Though Shapeshifter is actually a Non-Serial Movie, its cover is clearly designed to suggest that it's a straight imitation of Animorphs. The Family Guide to the Internet was a combined attempt to cheaply cash in on the home movie and internet crazes. As with Russian Terminator, V-World Matrix was probably originally titled "V-World" after Westworld, with the Matrix part added for a few extra sales. The Amazing Bulk is a mockbuster of The Incredible Hulk (2008). ...We think. The crew almost watches the renowned mockbuster Transmorphers. Bloody Birthday features deceptive packaging meant to look subtly reminiscent of a Nightmare On Elm Street movie, despite containing no such content. The crew speculates that Len Kabasinski adds techniques he's just seen or gotten access to - with no skill, of course. Such as using shaky cam and Dutch angles for no reason at all. The Item tries very hard to be like a Quentin Tarantino movie but with a horror twist. Mutant Species is Predator with elements of Aliens and the ugliest monster costume ever. Alligator heavily follows the formula of Jaws. Karate Cop tries to take elements from popular films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Escape from New York but does them much worse.

comment
Shown Their Work Pacing issues aside, the crew commends the people behind Robot Jox for making the best movie they could with the limited budget they had while adding very subtle world building details. Jay in particular was charmed by this and admitted that it made him like the movie more. To a lesser extent, they admit that, while the miniatures and sets in The New Gladiators and the matte paintings in The Aftermath aren't 100% convincing, the craftsmanship and effort that went into making them is admirable. While concluding that The Exterminator was somewhat flawed, Jay and Josh admit that some craft went into the camera work and that it had some very good shots and sequences. Perhaps due to their own experience as filmmakers, the gang is sometimes able to notice subtle details about a film's production. The most clear example is when Jay theorizes that there were reshoots in Exterminator 2. This was months before the official DVD came out with commentary by the film's director which pretty much confirmed this. Jack and Jessi vote for the otherwise incomprehensible Santa Claus (1959) as the Best of the Worst because of this.
