MST3K Mantra

comment
MST3K Mantra: invoked Whenever High Boi gets caught up in questioning a movie's logic, he snaps out of it by saying "whatever" or something to that effect.

Enraged by Idiocy: One of the very few times where High Boi loses his cool is in the video on Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), when Tom asks "So, what are we looking for?" when they get to the top of the building in San Francisco where Sonic's rings are. High Boi points out that Tom knew the whole time that Sonic was looking for a little bag of rings, and that it was the only other thing on the roof. He really, really, really hated Morbius (2022) because he felt the film had a major invoked Idiot Plot.

Just Eat Gilligan: Frequently pointed out in videos. For example, in Up, at the beginning, when Russell wants to earn his badge, Carl could have just pretended that Russell helped him and signed off on the badge, meaning that Russell would earn it and leave Carl alone.

Erudite Stoner: High Boi's Author Avatar is a character who always looks stoned (complete with red eyes), but his commentary is very insightful. He often points out things in each movie that wouldn't work in real life.

Motor Mouth: High Boi speaks very quickly in every video. Exaggerated in the video on Knives Out, where he explains that he digitally sped up the video because there was a lot of ground to cover due to the movie's complicated plot.

Rouge Angles of Satin: Sometimes the subtitles use wrong words that are pronounced the same as what High Boi is saying. For example, in the Inception video, the subtitles describe Leonardo's character as "peaking" when High Boi means "peeking."

comment
Sacred Cow: In-Universe, WALL•E. While there are a few flaws in the movie's logic that High Boi points out, he still loves it so much that it's the only movie that he has given a genuine rating, instead of his usual Idiosyncratic Ratings Scale. The rating is 10 out of 10. He says that anyone who hates the movie "can suck a dick."

comment
Cerebus Syndrome: In his review of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl High Boi theorises that Barbossa's crew were planning to keep Elizabeth Swan as a sex slave after they removed their curse (by cutting her hand before they resorted to the other method). This theory is not without merit mind you, the crew in question canonically enjoyed these kind of activities and even used it as a thinly veiled threat if Swan didn't dine with the captain.

comment
Idiosyncratic Ratings Scale: High Boi uses a different rating scale for each video, most of which use different nouns relating to the movie in place of stars. WALL•E is perhaps the only movie that he used a normal rating scale for (he gave it a 10 out of 10.)
