Artistic License – Biology | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Decker brings this up himself in his review of The Predator in a blistering rant on the film's deeply flawed concept that autism is "the next stage in evolution," which anyone familiar with autism or evolution could tell you was nonsense. | |

Broke the Rating Scale | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_24fbee90 | comment |
Broke the Rating Scale: Played with but usually averted. Even for movies that Decker finds especially atrocious, he refuses to give them a grade of 0... inasmuch as he sometimes wishes he could for films such as Wishmaster 4. Despite his utter disgust for Hellraiser Revelations he also makes it a point to Creepy that even he can't rate the movie a 0 out of 5. Finally happened with Phantom of the Paradise, as he acknowledges the movie's influence on his personal development and found it difficult to give it an impartial numerical rating, deciding on "a miscellaneous allotment of Jessica Harper's mystical dancing out of arbitrary quantity of points". | |

Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Points out in his A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) review that the special effects for Freddy manifesting stretching his way out of a wall would be done with CGI today...then points out he's not sure WHY, as the practical effect was not only pretty good despite how simple it was, but likely cost much less than CGI would have. When the remake does just that, he comments that it was indeed both likely more expensive and looked much worse than simply using a sheet. | |

Found Footage Films | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_39d4257b | comment |
Found Footage Films: One of his pet peeves, mostly because many of them overkill it with the use of Jitter Cam. He reviews Tape 407 in one of his Dinocembers as a perfect bad example of this kind of film and even if he mocks the living hell out of it, he classifies the much earlier The Blair Witch Project as an example of a well-made found-footage film that is weighted down by the large amounts of Franchise Original Sin. The wraparound story of his review of Blair Witch Project is a spoofed example of one. | |

In-Universe | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_469e3e2f | comment |
In general he's particularly disgusted by animal cruelty, even In-Universe. During his review of Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, he admits while he's not exactly a Mothra fan like Creepy, he likes her considerably better after she killed the robbers who were planning to drown a dog and saved said dog. In his review of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, he considers the slaying of Max's dog by Lord Humungus' gang the moment they crossed the Moral Event Horizon (and then points out that, yeah, they had done slaughter and rape willy-nilly on-screen before that, but the killing of the dog was just too far). Even before the main plot of The Last House on the Left kicks off, Decker is asking for the convicts to suffer Cruel and Unusual Deaths for killing a German Shephard during their escape. | |

Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_5558641 | comment |
Gratuitous Japanese: For his review of Cowboy Bebop, he introduced himself in Japanese rather than his usual opening catchphrase. He also throws a plaintive "Sumimasen (sorry)?" after he points out that Shin Godzilla had the character of Kayoko Ann Patterson completely dubbed regardless of the fact the original actress spoke English for most of her lines (and it was pretty hard for her, on top of that). | |

Jitter Cam | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_5bdffefe | comment |
Jitter Cam: One of his pet peeves. He uses a Not Hyperbole disclaimer in his review of Tape 407 that when he says that people will try not to vomit when seeing the film, it's good advice because of the overkill use of this method. He also shows in a couple of other reviews (such as the one for The Blair Witch Project) that he loads up with Dramamine before seeing these kind of scenes. | |

Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_6f4af3e5 | comment |
AcCENT upon the Wrong SylLABle: Has a tendency to pronounce "review" as "RE-view" and "premise" as "pre-MISE". In his Blair Witch review, he continually pronounced "documentary" as "documen-terry." During his reviews of the Hellraiser films he consistently pronounces the puzzle box as the LAH-ment Configuration. As opposed to the Luh-ment Configuration. Watch basically any of his reviews, and odds are he'll mispronounce at least one actor's name. | |

Working-Class Hero: Decker has made mention a few times that his regular work is handling stock filling at a local supermarket in the graveyard shift. As an example, in his review of Tape 407 he doesn't sees what's the big deal about celebrating that New Year Has Come because in his line of work midnight only means "two hours until lunch time". In his review of Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, he reveals he worked in fast food, wore the hat that's part of the uniform, and expressed annoyance with Ricky's refusal to do likewise. | |

And There Was Much Rejoicing: After spending several reviews of Steven Seagal films making perfectly clear that he hates Seagal, he goes completely bonkers and spends a couple of minutes partying in celebration when he sees that Seagal's character gets killed about a third of the way of Executive Decision. He also does this with a great deal of Michael Myers's victims in Halloween (2007) and its sequel Halloween II (2009), due to just how unpleasant at best and despicable at worst the characters are, to the point where he calls Michael an Anti-Hero for killing them in gruesome ways. | |

Deliberate VHS Quality: Its usage in Found Footage Films as "there is something paranormal going on" symbolism (in lieu of showing the actual paranormal thing (that they may not have the budget for) on screen) is discussed in his review of Tape 407, and called a stupid trope because glitching in digital cameras (such as the ones used in that film) is very different from the glitching that shows in VHS cameras, and filmmakers very rarely seem to know the difference. | |

Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Aside from his intro mentioned above, many review wrapups begin with "At the end of the day..." and almost every review ends with "And remember..." followed by a joke. He has also developed "And the body count begins/rises!" when someone dies in a movie. He also usually prefaces the conclusion of each movie with "Anyways/So/Therefore, happy ending!" Depending on the movie he's also used "mysterious", "tragic", "shitty", and "no loose ends" in place of "happy". | |

Everyone Has Standards: In his Ssssssss review, he refuses to show a scene in which a snake is presumably killed in real life, as well as when a mongoose attacks and also possibly kills a King Cobra, and when a police officer caps a cobra in the head, or when the same mongoose kills the protagonist-turned snake. He possibly would have, if the movie actually had a "No animals were harmed in the making of this film" disclaimer. In general he's particularly disgusted by animal cruelty, even In-Universe. During his review of Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!, he admits while he's not exactly a Mothra fan like Creepy, he likes her considerably better after she killed the robbers who were planning to drown a dog and saved said dog. In his review of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, he considers the slaying of Max's dog by Lord Humungus' gang the moment they crossed the Moral Event Horizon (and then points out that, yeah, they had done slaughter and rape willy-nilly on-screen before that, but the killing of the dog was just too far). Even before the main plot of The Last House on the Left kicks off, Decker is asking for the convicts to suffer Cruel and Unusual Deaths for killing a German Shephard during their escape. Decker was genuinely disturbed by I Spit on Your Grave and refused to show the more graphic scenes, even with black boxes, instead using dolls to indicate the general idea, looking uncomfortable doing even that. He was similarly perturbed by The Last House on the Left, as both movies were genuinely uncomfortable to watch because of the subject matter involved. He isn't happy with the ending of It: Chapter Two trying to glorify Stan's suicide. Creepy displays this in their review of Gamera vs. Gyaos, quickly giving a Death Glare upon learning the version they're reviewing spelled the title as "Gamera Vs. Gaes". Likewise, he's disgusted with Kia's Politically Incorrect Hero moment in Freddy vs. Jason. | |

Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Found Footage Films. He mentions in his review of Tape 407 that he would prefer to spend his time reviewing "macarroni art" instead of watching them (and even when he mentions he consider The Blair Witch Project as an example of a good found footage film, he doesn't let up on the snark). If his review of The Predator bears any indication (it's one of the few times that he's been flat-out pissed), he doesn't has any love for misconception of mental handicapping in fiction, be it as an insult or an attempt at making someone Inspirationally Disadvantaged as awful as this movie does (by labeling autism "the next stage of human evolution"). He has no love for The Asylum at all. His review of Poseidon Rex was made strictly on a dare to Creepy and he finishes the video plotting revenge for being forced to sit through it. He also has no love for Steven Seagal at all. His month of Seagal film reviews see him increasingly showing distress at doing it, culminating with him going "not him!" when he sees Seagal is in Executive Decision (and becoming gleeful when Seagal's character dies). Some of his crossovers with That Long-Haired Creepy Guy sees either something they're reviewing press either Creepy's, Chibi-Cthulu's, or bothnote Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! saw both go into a Rapid-Fire "No!" rant at Mothra's defeat and later death, and Creepy, who's bisexual, was angered by both the title card of the version of Gamera vs. Gyaos they reviewed, which spelled Gyaos as "Gaes" (to the point he gave a Death Glare), and Kia's Politically Incorrect Hero moment by calling Freddy Kureger a homophobic slur in Freddy vs. Jason or something Decker himself does press the buttonnote Chibi outright attacked Decker during the review of Rebirth of Mothra 2 for Decker mocking Mothra Leo after he's brought down by the Barem. | |

Self-Deprecation: In his review of The Lost World: Jurassic Park he admits he did a big goof in his previous review of Jurassic Park (he says that the lysine contingency that is mentioned in passing in the first film isn't mentioned again in any of the sequels, when it actually is a plot point of the second) before giving himself a big Dope Slap. | |

Porn Names | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_cf6ce348 | comment |
Porn Names: One of the main running gags of the review of The Last Dinosaur is that the name "Masten Thrust" is such a blatant "porn star" name that not only does Creepy believes that Decker snuck a porno on him at first, but he also says that if he ever becomes a porn star that is the alias he will use. | |

It's Been Done: Decker mentions in his review of The Lost World: Jurassic Park that making fun of the weird way Ian Malcolm calls his girlfriend's name ("Sa-RAH!") has been done by The Nostalgia Critic in his own review of the film and then the video cuts to the next scene as he seemingly is holding back a disappointed F-bomb. | |

Incessant Music Madness: Decker's review of Poseidon Rex was already driving him nuts (it's a movie by The Asylum, after all), but the fact that the only song they could license with their super-low budget gets played again and again and again throughout the film does not helps at all. | |

Facepalm | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_f945dff4 | comment |
Facepalm: To a slightly worrying degree, which gets lampshaded in his review of the Saw franchise, as he gives himself progressively harder ones at the Idiot Ball's presence, culminating in him getting put into his own ironic trap as punishment for harming himself. Decker finally retired the gesture as of late 2021, as much as reviewing more Asylum films makes him sorely wish he could bring it back again to indicate his displeasure. | |

Running Gag | |
Decker Shado (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Not regular with him, but they still make an appearance: In his review of the 1999 film Virus, after the energy being that is the antagonist writes "I AM AWARE" in response to the protagonists asking what is it, Decker keeps calling it "Mr. Aware" throughout the rest of the review. Whenever he introduces a month-long project for Summer, he announces it with a shout so loud in each respective video that whoever's nearby reacts harshly (such as being tossed back). In his crossover review of The Last Dinosaur, both him and Creepy make notice that protagonist Masten Thrust enlisted as an Army private in World War II (with a newspaper clip to prove it) and give him increasing ranks as the review goes on, finishing with him being "Kaizer" Thrust. Constantly face palming at the things he considers stupid in the plot. Some of those palms look very painful. Due to overuse of the two phrases in the Visual Novels he's done Let's Plays of he's taken to hamming up the phrases "This is a terrible situation!" and "Not at all" to increasingly absurd levels. His review videos being constantly being hacked in by other reviewers... even when Decker mentions that the review is being recorded in a normal fashion and does not has a "live feed" for someone to hack into. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: Decker alludes to having a... less-than-stellar childhood in his review of Joker, with his Seen It All response to Arthur's own abusive childhood. In his review of Halloween (2007), when he gets to the part where Loomis is giving a presentation about how a horrible upbringing will create "a psychopath that knows no boundaries", Decker remarks how by that logic, he should have committed familicide. | |
