comment
A review show as presented by CR! (real name: Chad Rocco) formerly on Channel Awesome.The premise of the show is to give some insight into an under-appreciated or ill known character or series, making it one of very few internet review shows to not run on Accentuate the Negative, though regular reviews pop up on occasion so this does come up every now and then.Along with Familiar Faces, CR also runs a show called Cheap Damage. In this show CR reviews tabletop games, more specifically ones involving trading cards or collectible pieces. Unlike Familiar Faces, he's a lot less forgiving in these reviews.Can be found here at his blog and here on YouTube.

The Artifact: In recent years, videos directly under the Familiar Faces banner have tended to be more general reviews of obscure entertainment or newly releases shows, no longer leaning into the series' original theme of spotlighting characters.

Heroic BSoD: On viewing the clip of My Little Pony Newborns in part one of his retrospective on the series, he is visibly horrified. Whether it's by the appalling quality, the complete lack of substance, the poor voice acting or all of the above, his only response is to quietly turn the video off and say he needs to go lie down. This is after he actually managed to defend some of the earlier series.

comment
Perverse Sexual Lust: It would be quite a task to list every single character CR finds attractive. Even the Green M&M catches his eye. After pointing this out, he proceeds to give a very detailed explanation as to why there's nothing wrong feeling sexual desire for fictional characters, no matter how bizarre.

The Problem with Licensed Games
 Familiar Faces (Web Video) / int_1c0718c5
comment
The Problem with Licensed Games:invoked He showed extreme worry after seeing early screenshots of the Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Later finding out that this was the Wii version, upon seeing the actual screenshots for the other consoles, he decided he didn't even care if the games themselves sucked. Ironically, in the Episode 1 commentary, he admitted that he ended up liking the Wii version better.

Stealth Pun: In the first part of his My Little Pony retrospective, he uses the traditional M. Bison "OF COURSE!" clip when referring to the motivation of some early-series antagonists. However, for the visuals, he uses chief Thunderhooves, a character from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic who is an actual bison.

Beauty Equals Goodness: Discussed during the crossover with the Nostalgia Critic in the episode featuring Baby Doll. When the Critic heard Killer Croc's Freudian Excuse, he said he shouldn't let his reptilian exterior make him a villain. And brought up Nightcrawler and The Thing as heroic examples. But then Chad brought up that in the DC Universe, all of the superheroes are good looking in contrast to Marvel.

The Scrappy
 Familiar Faces (Web Video) / int_2b7ec38e
comment
The Scrappy:invoked Hates a few characters that pop up, like Katie Kaboom and the Junior Ghostbusters. In his mother's day special, he calls Lois Griffin a bitch. He does not like Princess Cadence. There's an entire video in which he plays a flash game based on the tossing scene from her debut episode where he throws her to the ground on purpose. He even lost interest in the comics (which he still liked even after disowning the show) solely because she started appearing on them. Also his latest 5 second character video on Celestia might show his dislike of her character completely. His assessment of Goldie Gold was that she was a decadent Rich Bitch.

Beat Without a "But": In the review of TRUMP The Board Game, Chad Rocco notices that the "outside investor" cards serve as additional money without any cost, even though they should logically be paid back at some point... which gets him thinking about the many times the man himself cheated investors large and small out of their investments:

The latter was apparently the last straw.

Unfazed Everyman: When a spooky Goosebumps mask comes to life (even if CR himself planned it) and states his plans on possessing CR to take over the world, he quickly gets over an initial state of shock to question the logic of it. He also takes being spontaneously kidnapped by an evil spirit pretty well.

The Cast Show Off: You know that title card with a zillion pieces of fan art on it that look like they were cribbed from people's DeviantArt galleries? Well, you're half right. They were all cribbed from one deviantART gallery: his own. In fact, the entire series was a spinoff of a series from his deviantART where he would draw an obscure character in a different style and try to get people to guess who it was. Ironically, he admits that, having spent so much time perfecting the styles of others, he technically never developed his own style.

The Faceless: For the first 35 episodes of the series, CR went without actually showing his face. This made him stand out like a sore thumb among the very camera-happy contributors on TGWTG. (Ironically, this meant that Familiar Faces was hosted by someone whose own face was not familiar to us). However, starting with his Crossover episode featuring the NC, he had his face forcefully revealed and it has remained as such ever since.

Merchandise-Driven: This is a Pet-Peeve Trope for Chad. A key reason why he hates Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien as well as the reason he can't enjoy Generator Rex, fearing it'll get the same treatment given that it was from the same producers of the original Ben 10. Hasbro has become (or may have always had been) a hot button for Chad, given his hatred over their treatment of My Little Pony and the Battleship movie. Interestingly enough, despite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) falling into this trope far more than either of its past incarnations he's actually had plenty of positive things to say about it.

Accentuate the Negative: Averted for the most part. Even if his subject matter may not have had much positive impression, he usually manages to find a good number of redeeming qualities to balance the negative. Played straight whenever he says anything about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic after its season 2 finale.

comment
Caustic Critic: Mostly averted. Most episodes are about characters and/or shows he actually likes, and even when they aren't, he tends to take a constructive, analytical tone (like in the "Katie Ka-Boom" episode). Every once in a while, though, he'll unleash his pent-up hostility, like in his Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White review. Played for laughs in his "Super Nerds" review, where he debates with another person on the internet (via web chat) about why "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" sucks. He's noticeably more critical in his Cheap Damage reviews, where a lot of the time he looks at poorly-made games. However, most of the time he still discusses redeemable qualities, as the debut episode of Cheap Damage opens with a rant at the over-saturation of Pokémon at the height of its popularity, and the Topps Attax baseball TCG received a scathing review from CR, explaining that the idea of a baseball-themed card game based on real-life players was a good idea, but the product failed on almost every aspect. Since then, Topps became a major target for criticism on the show. He hates pretty much every episode of Friendship is Magic from the 2nd season finale onwards (and later the series in general).

Briar Patching: Pulls a one over the course of about five Halloween episodes in order to get a copy of the film Rockula. He meddles with supernatural affairs and defeats two supernatural beings throughout it.

Berserk Button: CR does not like the Unusual Euphemisms from the Battletoads comic. Don't show him Gormiti. Seriously, he may burn it. Don't ever say a word about season 3 of MLP: FIM to him. Mentioning MLP's 3rd season may annoy him, but if you really want to see him blow a fuse, try defending it!

comment
This is a Pet-Peeve Trope for Chad. A key reason why he hates Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien as well as the reason he can't enjoy Generator Rex, fearing it'll get the same treatment given that it was from the same producers of the original Ben 10.

Nice Guy
 Familiar Faces (Web Video) / int_c5249b29
comment
Nice Guy: When the Critic does his usual flailing Psychopathic Manchild thing about someone else going into his territory, CR is the only one who actually asks what's actually wrong. Averted when it involves My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic post-Season 2. In fact, his Nice Guy demeanor compared to his loathing of the series is probably what strengthened the controversy.
