Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the trope page for Cinematic Excrement: currently in the process of ruining your life.Cinematic Excrement is a movie review series starring the self-titled Smeghead (real name: Sean Moore) in which he rips apart the worst cinema has to offer, whether it be DTV, mockbuster, or blockbuster.His schedule is generally one review a month, with each video being around 20–30 minutes in length. Remarkably enough, the style and formula of the show have remained completely unchanged since its debut all the way back in 2009 (save for some Early-Installment Weirdness in the first fifteen or so episodes), with only some rare and minor deviations.In August 2018, he decided to marathon and review every winner of the Golden Raspberry Award for "Worst Picture"; the final video of the marathon was released in December 2023. In the case of the films he had already reviewed, he did a "Second Look" video where he took another, more summarized look at the film to determine whether his criticism still held up.In between episodes, he also uploads vlogs in which he reviews new movie releases.While the series was formerly hosted on Blip, it is now available primarily on YouTube. The first 100 episodes have also been uploaded to Vimeo (see here), and Smeghead has recommended these uploads for fans who want to see videos in their full, original form in cases of deletions or modifications in the name of copyright infringement. The show also has a WordPress blog, mainly consisting of promoting new uploads, and Smeghead can also be found individually on Twitter. | |

My Friends... and Zoidberg | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_13646b1b | comment |
My Friends... and Zoidberg: When introducing Sharknado, he points out the film's surprisingly star-studded cast (Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, John Hearn, Jason Simmons, Cassie Scerbo) and notes that "there are actually some talented people in this movie — and Tara Reid." However, he does admit that his dig was somewhat out of line, and even gives Reid the benefit of the doubt by wondering if the abysmal performance she turned in was invokeddone deliberately, as he found her acting in a skit on The Arsenio Hall Show parodying the film far better. Similarly, in his Second Look at Battlefield Earth, when he discusses The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (one of the Worst Picture nominees the same year as Battlefield Earth), he describes the cast as consisting of "people who were far too good for this, and Stephen Baldwin." | |

Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: In some of his early reviews such as Twilight and Never Back Down, he does this to describe what the movies are like. Meta: he says the name of the show in each episode's introduction, but it was more worked into the script of his debut episode. When discussing the intensely polarized reactions that Twilight produced, he said that it was seen by audiences as either "[a] cinematic masterpiece" or "cinematic excrement". | |

MST3K Mantra | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_1ea7d12a | comment |
MST3K Mantra: In-Universe; Smeghead uses "it's a dream, it's not supposed to make sense" throughout the Sucker Punch review to cope with the more nonsensical parts of the film. At one point, he has a Freudian Slip moment, accidentally says "lazy writing" instead of "a dream", and quickly corrects himself. | |

Anti-Sue | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_1eed61fc | comment |
Anti-Sue: invoked He doesn't use the exact term, but it fits his description of the protagonist of Shining Through (he does even refer to her as the opposite of a Mary Sue). Linda, a secretary-turned-spy in World War II, spends much of the story screwing up, but since she's the main character, she fails upwards. For example, under the cover identity of a cook, she botches a dinner for Nazi officials so badly it's a wonder no one ends up sick, but upon being fired, she's promptly hired as a nanny by one of them. | |

I Need a Freaking Drink | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_1f250372 | comment |
I Need a Freaking Drink: He tends to default to alcohol when the contents of a film get to be too much for him. For his review of Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, he replaces his usual sign-off with "I need a shot of whatever Banderas was drinking on set". At the end of his review of Kiara the Brave, he replaces his usual sign-off with "I need a stiff drink..." Throughout his review of Freddy Got Fingered, he refers to a flask of whiskey to get through explaining the film's more bizarre plot points. At first, he claims it'll help the film make more sense, but he eventually admits the film making sense is next to impossible — but the whiskey will make you more relaxed. After reviewing Movie 43, Sean says he needs either another three-month break or a bottle of whiskey. When he sees he's only ten minutes into the movie during his The Cat in the Hat review, he gives the camera a worried look while unscrewing the cap off of a flask. While introducing Absolute Proof, he holds up a bottle of Absolut Vodka and says, "I'm going to need some absolute proof to get through this, let me tell ya." | |

Hollywood Tourette's: He briefly takes the trope to task in his Gigli review after noting the character Brian having one such oversimplified condition. He notes how Tourette's manifests in a wide variety of tics, and of them, the "randomly screaming obscenities" tic used for comic purposes in most depictions of the condition in media is not seen nearly as often among afflicted in reality. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: He criticizes the Nanobot assassin from Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever to be this. While it is untraceable and makes the victim look like he had a heart attack, it has to be injected into the victim, by bullet or syringe. He says that conventional bullets or poison would work just as well. | |

He also points out all the Sadly Mythtaken going on in Hercules in New York, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Legend of Hercules. The first one keeps using the names for Greek and Roman gods randomly (like calling Zeus "Zeus" but calling Poseidon "Neptune", not to mention having Samson, a BIBLICAL character, making a cameo), the second one uses Everybody Hates Hades (even though the book itself averted it) and has Persephone still in the Underworld during what's supposed to be her allotted time away, and the third one has several non-human beings (e.g. the centaur Chiron and the goddess Hebe) as humans, amongst other things. | |

Suicide as Comedy: This used to be part of his brand of humor, mainly for his reviews of The Twilight Saga movies. He once asked his Magic Sarcastic Ball if the director of the first film would "off herself for the greater good" and asked if Bella would just slit her wrists rather than mope over Edward leaving her in an overly wangsty manner. | |

Flipping the Bird | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_364b9be6 | comment |
Flipping the Bird: After tearing into the Razzies for giving Ryan Kiera Armstrong a Worst Actress nomination for her lead role in Firestarter (2022) despite her being 12 at the time, Sean notes that although the nomination was eventually rescinded due to online backlash, it never should've happened in the first place. He then flips a bird to the 1100 voting members of the Golden Raspberry Foundation who voted for Armstrong to be nominated, as he considered them to be "totally okay with bullying a child". In his review of Absolute Proof, a film which promotes the discredited theory that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election and Democrats conspired to steal it from him, he matter-of-factly states three times that Trump did, in fact, lose the election. After the first time, he flips a bird (presumably to the film's director Mike Lindell, and anyone who would still cosign the theory); each time after, he flips two. | |

Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_42839f8b | comment |
Sound-Effect Bleep: In Conan the Destroyer (Ep. 26), when talking about Blazing Saddles, he mentions the film's use of the N-word (which is censored), to which he even recites the Seven Words You Can't Say On Television, uncensored. Also in Never Back Down 2 (Ep. 40), he calls the racist Southern police officer Officer Cletus instead of Officer H***y, to which he says he needs to fix it. And, in Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day (Ep. 68), he remarks that a Mexican character doesn't like any words who has "s**c", to which he says he needs to fix it. In light of YouTube monetization cracking down on swearing, while he is allotted one uncensored F-bomb a video, any more cursing is censored in this manner with a quack. | |

Black Comedy Rape | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_4c851777 | comment |
Black Comedy Rape: Discussed in That's My Boy, which starts with a Teacher/Student Romance that ends in the entire school catching the teacher and student in the act of sex, which falls more into child molestation and rape than anything...only for the school to give the student a standing ovation. Smeghead notes how unfunny the whole situation is, even though he believes that any subject matter can be made into comedy no matter how macabre but only if the audience is given a reason to find it funny, using George Carlin's "Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd" bit as a successful proof of the same type of joke that the film failed to pull off. | |

They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Has made this complaint In-Universe whenever he knows that there was a bad change made to the source material in the adaptation. While the Smeghead isn't a comic book fan,note in the "doesn't read them" sense; as evident by his vlogs, he's a fan of comic book movies he points out that by having the Silver Surfer feel conflicted but continue to help Galactus devour planets despite having the power to stop Galactus at the cost of a Heroic Sacrifice, as opposed to the original comics (where the Surfer didn't care; humanity was so far beneath his master they were insignificant, to the point that destroying them was the equivalent of a human stepping on an anthill), it makes the Surfer come off as unsympathetic. In his Age of Extinction review, he mentions that he's been waiting for the Dinobots to make their live-action debutnote he has made it clear in the past - and outright states - that he grew up with the 1980s animated series, and the Dinobots (Grimlock in particular) were some of his favorite characters...and they ruined them by making them The Voiceless. | |

Book Ends: The main body of his review of A Madea Christmas opens with him admitting that he didn't find the Madea character to be all that funny from his first impression of hernote the play version of I Can Do Bad All By Myself, and acknowledged fans who do find her funny by saying, "I get it...but I don't get it." Once he finishes the film, he states that while he found it to have largely met his expectations of terribleness, he has to give Tyler Perry an earnest "modicum of credit" for creating a character with a pop culture impact lasting over two decades. He admits that such a legacy can't be built without having a fanbase that genuinely loves your work, and once again acknowledges Madea fans by saying, "I don't get it...but I get it." | |

Metalhead: Smeghead has been seen wearing T-shirts for Opeth, Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, In Flames, and others (on top of album covers from some of these bands being seen put as posters on Smeghead's wall), would use heavy metal songs as the closing credits theme for his early videos, and occasionally, he would drop subtle references to heavy metal songs in his reviews, such as admitting to liking "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister in his Rock of Ages vlog, referring to Krull as the "most metal movie" he's ever reviewed, and in his Shining Through review, after being dismayed that the codename for Michael Douglas's character in the film is the rather generic "Trooper", he says that on the other hand, "it's also the name of one of the greatest metal songs of all time,note Most certainly referring to "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden so I guess it's not all bad." | |

Designated Villain: In-Universe. He discusses this in A Thousand Words regarding the lead, Jack. While he feels Jack is a terrible father, husband, businessman, and person, the movie keeps trying to push a Generation Xerox on him by saying he's become his father (who walked out on him and his mom). Sean feels that it's a bad comparison because as bad as Jack is, he's staying with his family and keeps them supported financially, which his own father never did. | |

Spit Take: Invoked in his review of Birdemic 2: The Resurrection twice. When Nathalie tells Rod "It's been a while since you went down on me." The first time the scene plays, Smeghead realizes he was completely unprepared; he grabs a cold water bottle, and asks for it to be replayed before taking a sip. When the film shows how it wrote out Susan (one of the little kids from the original film; the other kid, Tony, returned in the sequel albeit briefly): she died from a disease contracted from the fish that Rod "cooked". Learning from his mistake, he takes a sip before the first playing of the scene. | |

Author Appeal | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Given his love of combat sports both scripted (Professional Wrestling) and unscripted (Mixed Martial Arts), he's reviewed quite a few pro wrestling and MMA films, including the infamous No Holds Barred and Ready to Rumble as well as the first two films in the Never Back Down series. His love for wrestling has also shown up in other reviews via Shout-Outs such as: Playing a clip of Ric Flair saying his Character Catchphrase "To be the man, you gotta beat the man!" in the review of the first Never Back Down film after discovering that the film's Arc Words are "To be the best, you gotta beat the best." He would bring up the catchphrase again when he reviewed the sequel to Never Back Down years later in 2013 after the Arc Words of the first movie were mentioned. In The Stinger for the review of Birdemic 2: The Resurrection, putting a scene of Nathalie and Rod Corpsing followed by the caption "Nathalie and Rod corpsing? Send for the man!"note Complete with the caption being in the same font as the one used in Botchamania, followed by the caption "(Sorry Maffew)". Invoking the infamously memetic clip of CZW wrestler Zandig shouting "JEEEZUS!"note The same one popularized by the aforementioned Botchamania as The Stinger for the 2012: Doomsday review (since the film was a Christian mockbuster of 2012). Referring to one of the Big Bad's bird-costumed henchmen in the Leonard Part 6 review as "Marty Scurll." This eventually gets a hell of a payoff in the Holmes & Watson review, when a bad guy makes a pun about how he's "the brains", and his hulking Dragon is "the brawn", Sean remarks, "Oh, Braun Strowman", only to be revealed that the henchman is actually played by Braun Strowman. | |

Ham and Cheese: invoked Has discussed the phenomenon of actors performing to this effect in bad movies on several occasions. After poking fun at Tara Reid's performance in Sharknado, he opts to wonder if she acted poorly on purpose given how bizarre the film was, as a skit on The Arsenio Hall Show parodying the film that she later appeared in contained what Smeghead considers a vastly superior performance. In his Second Look at Battlefield Earth, he actually compliments John Travolta's incredibly hammy acting, as it matched the absurdity of the rest of the film — whether intentionally or not — far more than the serious performances of the rest of the cast. | |

Insult to Rocks: In the review of The Cat in the Hat, when remarking about the cliché "jealous boyfriend of single parent tries to get the kid shipped off to boarding school" plot point the film uses, he says, "I would suggest the writers got their ideas from The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Children's Movies, but that would be an insult to the greater complete idiots community." In his Norm of the North review, when talking about the Lemmings, he states, "I would suggest this movie was written by five-year-olds, but that would be an insult to five-year-olds." In his Meet the Spartans review, when showing the film's first gag (a Shrek baby projectile-vomiting profusely at an old man's face), he says, "I would suggest only 12-year-olds could possibly find this funny, but I think that would be an insult to 12-year-olds everywhere." | |

Christmas Episode: Almost every year since 2011, he's done one (or in some cases two) Christmas-themed reviews. In 2011, he did Deck the Halls. In 2012, he did Once Upon a Christmas and its sequel Twice Upon a Christmas. In 2013, he did Christmas with the Kranks. In 2014, he did Jingle All the Way 2. In 2015, he did The Star Wars Holiday Special. In 2016, he did Saving Christmas (releasing the episode in July) and Fred Claus. A Chanukah variation in 2017, where he reviewed Eight Crazy Nights. In 2018, he took a break from his Razzie marathon to review Last Ounce of Courage. 2019 marked the first year in which he did no holiday special. In 2020, he took another marathon break to review Surviving Christmas, a film that would be only nominated for Worst Picture, and five years after his last reviewed film (Wild Wild West) at that. In 2021, he put the marathon on pause once more to review Four Christmases. In 2022, he again halted his marathon to review A Madea Christmas. | |

While discussing Cannibal Holocaust in his episode on the found footage genre, a scene of (real) turtle beheading from the film has a black box with a "SO VERY CENSORED" at the moment of impact. In the Striptease review, the box has an added "NOPE". In the Bolero review, the black box for the nude scene featuring then-underage Olivia d'Abo has a triple "NOPE". | |

Excuse Plot: Sometimes uses these as a way to review a particular film. Since Skyfall was coming out around Halloween of 2012, Smeghead dressed up like James Bond in order to call his Moonraker review a Halloween Special. He used Christmas in July as a way to review Saving Christmas five months early. | |

Unlike what Tommy Wiseau did with The Room (2003), he respects Nguyen for sticking by his original vision of what the project was, and even when it became a laughingstock, he didn't try and pretend that reaction was intended all along. | |

Not Quite the Right Thing: When he brings up Jason Blum's interview for Jem and the Holograms (2015), he states that Blum's advice that "maybe lowering expectations is good" was probably good advice in this case due to the film's poor quality, but the fact this was said by the movie's own producer makes it incredibly stupid. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers a particularly blistering rant towards two certain characters in Breaking Dawn. For context: Jacob has invited Charlie to come to see his daughter, Bella, who has recently been turned into a vampire. Edward is, of course, outraged, and starts laying into Jacob, asking him if he even considered the physical pain being in Charlie's presence will put Bella through, since being in a human's presence will only increase her vampiric thirst - like having 'a red hot poker shoved down her throat', in Edward's words. In any other setting with any other characters, we might just be on Bella and Edward's side. Here? A minor one but he gives a brutal one towards Sony in his Die Another Day review when he mentions their pulling The Interview from theaters because of North Korea's threats about it when other films got a free pass. His Worst Movie of 2017 review has him deliver one to the Golden Raspberry Award nominations for "Worst Actor/Actress," feeling that the actors and actresses were good, just in bad movies. His response to the creators of Last Ounce of Courage attempting to use the sacrifices of soldiers who died in combat to justify their anti-"War on Christmas" propaganda: His response to Tyler Perry also including the "War on Christmas" as a plot point in A Madea Christmas, with a big company forcing a "Christmas jubilee" event to rename itself to a "holiday jubilee" and not contain any Jesus references, to which a character makes the "trying to take Christ out of Christmas" complaint verbatim: | |

Dead Artists Are Better: His outlook on film defies this concept if the artist in question got up to scummy behavior in their lifetime. In his review of Bolero, he notes that the film's director John Derek cheated on his wife Linda Evans with his later wife Bo, who he began seeing when she was 16, and which may do something to explain him allowing a scene with gratuitous full-frontal nudity from the then 14-year-old Olivia d'Abo. After lining out these transgressions, Smeghead states the following: | |

Actually Pretty Funny | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_8042e814 | comment |
Actually Pretty Funny: He'll concede when a joke in a movie is good. One such instance is the fact that Diedrich Bader's character in Meet the Spartans is a clever play on obvious traitors in movies...not that it does the rest of the movie any good. 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain has the Jamaican minion asking for Hulk Hogan's character's autograph, just to say he'll get it later when the Big Bad snaps at him. Smeghead admits it's kinda funny. This exchange in Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star: A small Furniture Blockade gag in the adaptation of The Host (2008) when Melanie directs Wanderer to block a doorknob with a chair and has to correct her when she follows her initial order of "putting the chair in front of the door" by literally putting it on the floor facing the door. He got a couple of laughs out of An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn — the see-saw gag, and an outtake where Arthur Hiller tells Joe Eszterhas that the last thing they need is him sticking up for them. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: Smeg pokes fun of this trope in his review for Shining Through. He reasons that, because the film has its main character qualified to be a spy because she watched a lot of spy movies, then because of all the movies he's watched involving space travel,note naming 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, Gravity, Planet of the Apes (1968), The Martian, Ad Astra, Apollo 13, and Apollo 18 (much to his chagrin) by that logic, he's qualified to be an astronaut. | |

Show, Don't Tell: He sees this as the main takeaway of a scene from After Earth in which Kitai is characterized as a skilled student but a poor fighter through a verbal instructor report, although this information could've more intuitively been shown to the audience. He also brings this up when making note of the overly subtle attitude The Book of Henry takes towards child abuse. While he understands it's a touchy subject, there is no actual evidence of the abuse shown other than a few offhand remarks about bruises, at one point driving Smeghead to believe there would be a reveal that there was no actual abuse. | |

He does this twice in his review of After Earth. | |

Designated Hero: In-Universe. He's discussed it in a few videos, and it seems to be a pet-peeve of his. In Never Back Down and its sequel, he notes the characters in the former are arrogant unlikable jerks, while in the second the heroes are not only too bland, but many of their more asshole-ish actions are simply glanced over. He even states that the villain in the sequel is the most interesting as he's got a character arc and his negative actions are treated as bad by the narrative. | |

Values Resonanceinvoked: Sean finds numerous plot points in The Postman that were ridiculed by audiences at the time — and likely would've been ridiculed by him in any other time period — to be eerily prophetic for 2020 politics. He stops to make special note of the film's depiction of the future's America being reduced to a white supremacist faction run by "a woefully inexperienced and unlikable jackass", alongside the postal service becoming a symbolic movement of anti-fascism. However, he clarifies that in spite of the film's relevance (however accidental), its execution is still silly enough to warrant his mockery. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: Discussed in his review of Eragon. When Arya is shown to have red hair instead of black as described in the book, he explains why this is dumb: Arya's actress Sienna Guillory is a natural blonde, so her hair had to be deliberately colored different for the part, and she's invoked had her hair dyed black in other movies, such as Resident Evil: Apocalypse. | |

Halfway Plot Switch | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_ace24b2c | comment |
Halfway Plot Switch: The Ready to Rumble review was the first episode to be released in two parts (as opposed to being split into separate parts for time constraints). The first part was a review of the film. The second part, however, is Smeghead talking about the promotional stunt done to promote the film: having David Arquette win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The Cocktail video is exactly 23 minutes long, but the review itself pretty much ends at the 10:42 mark, and the rest of the episode is Smeghead talking about the other Razzie nominees that year,note which were Rambo III, Caddyshack II, Hot to Trot, and Mac and Me since, while he agreed that Cocktail was a bad movie, he considered it just an invoked average bad movie, so he wanted to see if the other nominees were worse or not.note He ultimately found Hot to Trot and Mac and Me to be definitely worse, and maybe Caddyshack II too, while Rambo III was for him a standard mindless action movie for the era. | |

Caustic Critic: He doesn't hold back in delivering abrasive, scathing criticism towards anything he finds negative in a movie. However, in comparison to fellow YouTube movie reviewers like Adam Johnston or Ralph Sepi who are known to have a "take-no-prisoners" approach to being viciously caustic with their criticisms, Sean provides criticism through a calm demeanor (unless really provoked) and is willing to give a bad film credit for certain good elements it may have. | |

Viewers Are Morons: He judges Meet the Spartans extensively for its repeated breaking of the Don't Explain the Joke rule by stating the origins of its film references. Meta example: at the start of the episode on Getaway, Smeghead notes how his attempt at the end of the previous episode to give a hint of the next episode's movie ("We're going to look at a movie that needs to get away. Far, far away.") flew over people's heads. In particular, he noted that people actually focused on the "far, far away" part instead and assumed that he would be riffing on a Shrek or Star Wars movie. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Brought up in his review of Batman & Robin, where he notes how parents' backlash to the more violent aspects of Batman (1989) and Batman Returns led to executives pushing for a family-friendlier style with Joel Schumacher at the helm that culminated with Batman & Robin essentially being a super-long, cartoonish toy commercial. | |

Content Warnings | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_b21ddb6b | comment |
His trademark content warning began changing each episode starting with his review of Planet of the Apes (2001) simplifying it to a bare minimumnote "The following video may contain language that some people find objectionable. So if you're under 18, go fuck yourself.", and transitioned to usually being more of a comedic Take That! about the film in question, such as the episode about Bolero, an erotic film, cautioning that the movie "contains copious amounts of sex. Really, really bad sex." However, some episodes offer genuine warnings for films with serious subject matter. The warning for the Mommie Dearest review is altered so that it cautions about the film featuring child abuse, and advises beforehand that Smeghead might not be the best person to discuss it. The warning for his review of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane cautions that the film stars a comedian that loved to offend and thus might trigger some people. This is lampshaded by then adding "Hey, not all of these warnings can be funny." The warning for Blonde is a straightforward viewer discretion advisory due to the film's mature themes and depictions of rape and suicide. It then adds "Hey, sometimes the warning isn't funny. Deal with it." | |

Squick: invoked If a moment is disturbing or gross enough, he will voice his disgust about it. For both parts of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, he was not fond of Meyer making Jacob and Renesmee a couple, not just because of the large age difference, but because of the idea that Jacob said that he would be anything for Renesmee, including a brother. In his review of Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen he is not at all appreciative of the view we get of John Turturro's thong-clad backside. He also calls out the writers on the infamous scene of Devastator's "balls". In his review of Transformers: Age of Extinction, he shows disgust at the movie for sexualizing a 17-year-old girl. In his review of Norm of the North, he hates the Toilet Humor used by the Lemmings. | |

Take That! | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: From his Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief review: In the Battleship review, Smeghead reads an e-mail from his retired naval officer father answering a question of how long it takes to become a lieutenant in the US Navy and possible bars to eligibility. He writes that naval officers are required to have a college degree, "and I don't mean some online programme where hoodlums and safecrackers are welcome." For the sake of argument, Smeghead decides to assume that the film's protagonist, Alex, has a degree "from a reputable institution that does not allow hoodlums and safecrackers. So... not Arizona State."note Not chosen idly, as Sean Moore is an alumnus of the University of Arizona; he wears T-shirts with their logo in numerous videos, including the Battleship review. The opening to his review of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is an extended jab at Derek Savage and his film Cool Cat Saves the Kids. Smeghead claims that it's the film he's going to review in the episode, but he doesn't even finish saying the film's title before receiving a block notification, even though at that moment he still was recording the video, leading him to review Sharknado 3 as his plan B. In Batman & Robin, when Poison Ivy states that the millions of potential casualties that would result from her initial proposal for Wayne Enterprises to be more eco-friendly are "acceptable losses", Smeghead asks if she has considered a job in politics, seeing as she'd fit right in. In his review of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, he is put off by the presence of actor Stephen Collins, who, by the time the video was released, had admitted on tape to molesting children. Not even bothering to make a joke of the matter, he simply expresses his contempt for the man and moves along. In his Lady in the Water review, Smeghead tops off his description of M. Night Shyamalan as an egotist who believes that anyone who doesn't praise his genius is either unintelligent or has an ulterior motive by saying, "It's a wonder he hasn't run for president." invoked In his Norm of the North review, when discussing Mr. Greene's plan to build condos in the Arctic: In his Pan review, he interrupts the film's Opening Narration describing the titular Peter Pan as "a boy who would never grow up" to say "But enough about Donald Trump." In the credits for his Plan 9 from Outer Space review (the 100th episode) he thanks Channel Awesome for not hiring him. Keep in mind that the review was released in later March 2018, right in the middle of the company's controversy. In his review of Jupiter Ascending, Sean at one point compares a scene to a DMV from Hell, before stopping for a moment to think over what he just said and throwing his trademark "Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Departmentâ„¢" caption. In his review of The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, he uses Fox News as proof that catering to an audience of assholes can be a very lucrative business. While describing Wild Wild West's Adaptational Jerkass treatment of the original show's character Miguelito Loveless, as the film's equivalent Arliss Loveless does not share Miguelito's trait of making his own brilliant inventions and rather kidnaps other brilliant inventors and takes full credit for their work, he describes Arliss as "like Elon Musk, except somehow douchier — which I didn't think was possible." In his review of Surviving Christmas, Sean notes that, besides 2014's Razzie winner for Worst Picture Saving Christmas, there have only been two Christmas movies nominated for Worst Picture. One is Surviving Christmas, which Sean is initially skeptic to review, saying that while having heard it's terrible, he's not sure if it's enough to fulfill a review. However, as soon as he realizes that the other nominee was Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas, he immediately begins to review Surviving Christmas. His Dirty Love review takes frequent shots at the film's star Jenny McCarthy for her anti-vaxxer activism. The timing of the episode's release could not have been better, since the review was released several months after the COVID-19 vaccine came out in America, and the reluctance of a significant chunk of the country's population to take it helped the anti-vaxxer movement go from fringe to mainstream. He ends up calling her a "stupid, ignorant, lobotomized cunt-puddle", a "sentient vial of anal seepage", a "brain-dead bimbo" and an "open sore", and further pokes fun at her in the thumbnail of his review, which swaps the film's tagline "Got dumped?" out for "Got vaxxed?". Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced physician who released the since-debunked study that McCarthy based her claims on, is also not spared, with Smeghead adding text to a picture of him that reads, "There is a special place in Hell reserved for this asshole." At one point in his review of The Love Guru, he lists a series of celebrities that he believes were punching far below their weight by appearing in the film — Morgan Freeman (albeit via voice-only cameo), Jim Gaffigan, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Verne Troyer, and Daniel Tosh. He then corrects himself on the lattermost person he mentioned. In his retrospective of The Twilight Saga, he pokes fun at the LGBT grooming conspiracy theory. His review of Blonde contains several: While chastising the parents of any kids who may be watching the review (since it's for an NC-17 film), he lists off several examples of the "crazy shit" that can be accessed online without supervision; the final example is "people who thought Justice League was a good movie". After the review was briefly taken down and re-uploaded, its new description includes a note that the re-upload was to fix "a minor but pretty stupid mistake"; it then immediately clarifies, "No, the mistake was not me saying Justice League isn't a good movie." He refers to a large room full of mental patients as "transphobes who were mad at the Doctor Who specials."note The episode was released shortly after the 2023 specials for Who, which revealed that companion Donna Noble had a transgender daughter, and as such were subject of a transphobic backlash, in particular in the UK. | |

Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: People who are unfaithful to their spouses/partners seem to get Smeghead particularly riled up. In the review for Inchon, he is completely disgusted with one of the subplots being about the affair of one of the main protagonists with a Japanese/Korean woman, only for said woman to die at the end of the film, after which he returns to his wife, with no consequences. In the review for Bolero, while discussing the scene in which a character played by then 14-year-old Olivia d'Abo does a full-frontal nude scene, Smeghead brings up the unsavory implications that it might have something to do with the fact that the film's director John Derek met and began dating his wife Bo Derek when she was 16, and to top it off, it happened while he was still married to Linda Evans. Using the sacrifices of soldiers to prop up your own point — particularly if it is a stupid point, as seen in his review of Last Ounce of Courage. "War on Christmas" propaganda. Smeghead extensively took this narrative to task in his reviews for Last Ounce of Courage and Saving Christmas, and believed he was done with it; thus, when it resurfaced as a plot point in A Madea Christmasnote although ironically, the event in the film where Christmas iconography was planned to be suppressed is shown later on with all messages intact and zero consequences, it both took him by surprise and set him off. | |

Shout-Out | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Summing up his thoughts on The Fantastic Four, Smeghead talks about Marvel's attempt at preventing the film from reaching public knowledge and points out that if they let the film be released, it would've simply failed and been promptly forgotten rather than become the cult legend it is today. He caps it all off by shouting "Streisand Effect, bitches!" The content warning of his 100th episode is swapped for the Funniest Joke in the World from Monty Python,note "Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!" complete with the big red "WARNING" being appropriately changed to "ACHTUNG". Beginning in 2021, Smeghead would follow any instance of him saying "To be fair..." with clips of characters from Letterkenny saying the same phrase in a drawn-out way. | |

Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_c83cd6b8 | comment |
The Nicknamer: He refers to the Big Bad's two minions in Kiara the Brave, Suddenly and Accidentally, as "Bob" and "Jake" due to finding their actual names too stupid to say more than about twice. After having trouble keeping track of the names of the four main characters of Never Back Down 2, he starts referring to them as "Boxer" (Zack), "Wrestler" (Mike), "BigMcLargeHuge" (Tim), and "Red Flag" (Justin). He even nicknames the movie's love interest Eve as "Skittles." In addition, in Getaway, he calls the characters of The Voice and The Kid "Not Blofeld" and "Harpy McBitchface" respectively. In the review for Left Behind (2014), he claims the name of one of the main protagonists, Rayford Steele, was far too awesome for such a boring character and elects to call him "Jimmy" instead. Has taken to calling M. Night Shyamalan "M. Night Shambles-on". | |

Self-Deprecation: On several occasions, he hasn't been above poking fun at himself. Given A Thousand Words features "Because I Got High" in a scene, Sean sings a Song Parody related to the film's quality. The parody continues in the credits, with the final consideration being "And now you know why I don't sing professionally" (as the lyrics go "Now I sound like a moron!", no less). The opening warning of his Second Look at Jack and Jill advises viewers that "the following video may contain scenes of a man with an annoying voice. And we're not talking about the host." | |

Damned by Faint Praise: In his review of Kiara the Brave (a direct-to-video mockbuster of Brave), he states that the animation looks great... when compared to the animated sequence in UHF. He recycles the joke in his review of Norm of the North, stating that it looks great when compared to Kiara the Brave. He considers Poison Ivy to be the best villain in Batman & Robin...while also noting how her competition is an obnoxiously exaggerated Dumb Muscle character and a comically underdeveloped character with a penchant for horrible puns. | |

Dude, Not Funny!: His reaction to Danny DeVito's character talking about accidentally crushing a cat with a fridge in Deck the Halls. He felt the joke was disturbing and out of place in a family comedy. His reaction to a majority of jokes in That's My Boy, from the child molestation-laden Teacher/Student Romance at the start to Donny's horrible job at fathering Todd being Played for Laughs. Essentially his reaction to people calling Mommie Dearest an "unintentional comedy," due to Faye Dunaway Chewing the Scenery. He counters by pointing out how besides the silliness of Dunaway's performance, the movie itself is actually very disturbing due to its portrayal of Joan Crawford's abuse of her adopted children. | |

Serial Escalation: Notes the increase in main villain count within the original Batman film series, as Returns and Forever both had two (the Penguin and Catwoman in the former, and Two-Face and the Riddler in the latter), while Batman & Robin had three (Poison Ivy, Bane, and Mr. Freeze). Smeghead says that one particularly ridiculous action scene in Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever cranks the stupid to a ridiculous degree. | |

Trautman, the Big Good of the Rambo franchise, for twice arranging for the titular character to drop into enemy territory on extremely sensitive and covert missions, while knowing Rambo was an unstable and very dangerous Shell-Shocked Veteran and One-Man Army, instead of leaving him to try to work out his issues in relative peace. | |

A Rare Sentence: He finds this to be the case when, after Bella uses a rock to draw just enough blood from her arm to distract a vampire in Eclipse, he says that she did something intelligent. Also in Meet the Spartans when he says that Seltzer and Friedberg made a somewhat intelligent joke (by having a character named Councilman Traitoro, lampooning 300 for having characters that are very obviously villains from the moment you see them). In The Amityville Haunting, he notes what is supposed to be the scene of a mover dead after falling down the stairs, although his head is nowhere near the puddle of ketchup-blood that apparently came from his head. | |

Catchphrase | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: Aside from his Signing-Off Catchphrase, he also has: "Continuity: it's not a polite suggestion" whenever there is a continuity goof. "Thanks for wasting my time, movie!" whenever there's a long scene just to pad out the running time. "Our hero(es), ladies and gentlemen!" whenever the person/people the audience are supposed to be rooting for make(s) a dick move. "Don't worry, this will all make sense never." when plot details are brought up to never be resolved. "There are four billion vaginas/three billion dicks on the planet, you can find another one!" or anything to that effect when a character is angsting after a breakup. "This is my shocked face." whenever there's an obvious twist In-Universe. "S/he takes the news surprisingly well." or something to that effect when someone has a violent or emotional outburst after receiving bad news. "Because...reasons." whenever a character does something that makes no sense. "You have a career!" for good actors that show up in bad movies, especially ones that take the film seriously. "I am acting!" following particularly bizarre line readings, always delivered with the same inflections as the line in question. When reviewing a movie that acts as a vehicle for a celebrity who is not known for being an actor, he will usually introduce the film as starring the person, immediately followed by "And what can you say about [this person] that hasn't already been said?" | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Implemented in his description of Bill Cosby when reviewing Leonard Part 6, to be as honest a summary of the man as possible. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: Episode 97, instead of targeting a specific film, offers a quick overview of Sean's thoughts on a whole film genre (Found Footage). One video, instead of reviewing a film, had Smeghead review the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Spock's Brain". It's even listed as a "special review" rather than the usually numbered episodes. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Upon stating that a lot of Chris Evans's stuff as the Human Torch in Fantastic Four (2005) was improvised, the Smeghead calls Evans the worst to a picture of Evans as Johnny. When the picture shifts to one of Evans as Captain America,note more specifically, Steve in his S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform in Captain America: The Winter Soldier he proclaims he can't stay mad at Evans. | |

Product Placement: Notes how gratuitous and unapologetically blatant it is in Meet the Spartans to the point that he suggests it should be called Meet the Sellouts. | |

Big-Lipped Alligator Moment | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_f6e10f3e | comment |
Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: invoked Name-dropped with reference to its Trope Namer in Home on the Range after seeing its Disney Acid Sequence. Smeghead actually explains that this scene actually subverts this trope, since all of the trippy elements actually connect to the plot. A text caption appears in his The Cat in the Hat review, asking if the rave scene with Paris Hilton counts, but Sean says the film has to make sense for it to be a BLAM. He also name-drops it when referring to the Dance Party Ending of Saving Christmas. | |

Face Palm: Does one accompanied by a drumroll in his Sucker Punch review when a mission to retrieve a knife is represented through another mission to disarm a bomb that is only related to the real mission because the bomb is given the silly codename "Kitchen Knife". | |

Running Gag | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Wire Jump of Doom™ The "Celebrities Who Needed A Paycheck" counter.invoked Inserting random "more fitting" music to a scene, which is more often than not "Yakety Sax". Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department™ "Pointless Sex Scene", in which the words flash on-screen and marching band music play during the scene in question. "This is bad comedy!" "Because… reasons." "It all starts *cut to the movie* IIIIIIIIN SPAAAAAAACE!" He sometimes lampoons films' nonsensical plots by reading them out as Mad Libs. Calling Happy Madison regular Peter Dante as "The guy who appears in all of Adam Sandler's movies, but no one knows who he is." "NEW YORK CITY?!" In Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2: "It sure is refreshing to watch a horror movie where [insert positive feedback here]. Unfortunately, we're watching this instead." | |

Brick Joke: In the review for The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, he finds Christopher Lloyd shouting/yodeling gibberish so funny that he made it his ringtone. In his review of The Host (2008), it's revealed that it's still his ringtone when he gets angry e-mails after making a joke about the movie being so bad it killed Roger Ebert. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Cinematic Excrement (Web Video) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: His dad is ex-navy, and Smeghead used his first-hand knowledge to explain why the protagonist of Battleship would never be able to enlist in the navy, let alone become a lieutenant, without a certain degree of Artistic License. He also points out all the Sadly Mythtaken going on in Hercules in New York, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Legend of Hercules. The first one keeps using the names for Greek and Roman gods randomly (like calling Zeus "Zeus" but calling Poseidon "Neptune", not to mention having Samson, a BIBLICAL character, making a cameo), the second one uses Everybody Hates Hades (even though the book itself averted it) and has Persephone still in the Underworld during what's supposed to be her allotted time away, and the third one has several non-human beings (e.g. the centaur Chiron and the goddess Hebe) as humans, amongst other things. Subverted and Played for Laughs in the Last Ounce of Courage review where he claims to have found one example of protests against a public nativity scene. He cites the example at length, with it containing many plausible-sounding details... and then admits he made the whole thing up because "the war on Christmas is not real!" | |
