There are two extremes when it comes to car review shows. On one hand, there is the dry, factual style of MotorWeek. At the other end are the slickly-produced, entertaining, yet still somewhat factual reviews of Top Gear. Between these two extremes sit the various other shows, all leaning toward one side or the other of this scale.And then, not even acknowledging that this scale exists, there is Regular Car Reviews.Created by two car guys from around Reading, Pennsylvania, Brian "Mr. Regular" Reider and Nick "The Roman" Roman, Regular Car Reviews focuses exactly on what the title suggests: normal, everyday cars that are bought by the average person. The reviews, however, are anything but normal. Rarely are the performance figures given any real focus; if they are, it's typically in a sardonic fashion. Often, the reviews focus on the types of people who buy the car in question, the socioeconomic influences behind their design or typical buyers, or something entirely different, all interspersed with extremely crass, perverted sex and toilet humor and occasional bouts of Dadaism, combined with graduate-level literary theory (both creators have master's degrees in English literaturenote They met as graduate students at Kutztown University).Often compared to RedLetterMedia's Harry S. Plinkett reviews due to several similarities including the humor style (both series make non-sequitur revolving around disturbing sexual humor) and even how Mr. Regular's "crazy" voice sounds similar to Harry S. Plinkett's (some people seeing both series for the first time even assume it's the same person).Their YouTube channel can be found here and their official website is here. New reviews every Monday at 4 AM EST. | |

Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_152b3dcf | comment |
Huge Rider, Tiny Mount: Mr. Regular is a pretty tall dude, so he's a tight fit in Kei Cars from Japan. He has to take his shoes off to fit inside the Autozam AZ-1 and scrunches down to give his head-mounted GoPro a decent view out the windshield. He later notes that if you're taller than six feet, you're never going to enjoy a Mazda Miata. | |

He then compares that to "a guy wrecking on a snowboard and then saying 'I meant to do that'." | |

Artifact Title: While it's called Regular Car Reviews, the cars themselves vary from common vehicles up to supercars and imported kei cars. Later videos have also covered airplanes, motorcycles and... lawnmowers? note The Roman has since said in an interview that "regular" was supposed to reference the reviews, not the cars themselves, since they wanted to surprise people who expected a normal car review. Not to mention sheep and horses. | |

Issues with the car include insufficient tire width to handle the power, excessive cranking to start the engine, and an unfinished interior with gauges that fall out. | |

Sophisticated as Hell | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_2d4a6d8c | comment |
Sophisticated as Hell: Yes, really. Mr. Regular and the Roman have graduate degrees in English (they met in grad school), so the series often switches between surprisingly articulate observations about the car being reviewed, before breaking them up with The Meat. Two excellent examples of this are the Vantage and FJ Cruiser reviews. Near the end of the Ferrari 360 Modena review, Mr. Regular decides he's going to deliver the rest of the review in the prosaic style of Nathanie Hawthorne. The PT Cruiser review includes a decent introduction to postmodernism (as the thesis of the video is that the PT Cruiser is Chrysler's—unfortunately successful—attempt at a postmodern car). | |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Porsche, at least according to the owner of the 911 SC. Porsche's design decisions were often them sticking to what they knew, or, in the case of the odometer-driven O2 sensor light,note Most cars monitor the condition of the O2 sensor, which is used for adjusting the fueling, or monitoring the condition of the catalytic converter, and throw an idiot light if it senses a bad sensor. Porsche wired theirs to light up every 30,000 miles on the odometer. not wanting to invent a whole new system. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Mr Regular has a great affinity for cars like that. Discussed in depth in Subaru Loyale review. Subaru spend the 80s pumping out reliable, practical but not very exciting cars. This gave them a reputation of a brand of cars people can rely on and they parlayed this reputation into their high-end rally inspired models in the 90s. The brand was a success because the reliability of the base models made people confident when buying sports cars and the pedigree of their sports cars made people interested in base models. Mr Regular contrasts it with Chrysler, which spends a ton of time on their muscle cars, but their base lineup still suffers from The Alleged Car reputation they gathered in the 90s. | |

Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The camerawork has a cheaply produced, amateurish feel. It likely wouldn't work otherwise. Admittedly, part of this comes from an actual lack of funds. | |

Matryoshka Object: Occasionally seen at car shows with the realistic model cars inside the actual cars. Exaggerated at a show in Kutztown with a model car inside of a car with an even smaller model car inside that model car. Also there was a 50's panel van that had an image of the same van airbrushed on the side with a smaller copy of the same image on the image of the van. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The very first reviews, compared to later ones. The Citi Golf review doesn't even show actual footage of the car in question. Earlier episodes made heavy use of copyrighted images and music. As the series became popular enough to justify monetizing, these have disappeared, and the intro songs were replaced by original works and song parodies by the Roman. In a literal sense early reviews were much weirder, with more frequent and longer sections of The Voice. The 1980 Dodge Aspen was the first old-car review he'd done and by far the oldest car Brian had driven to date. It shows. | |

Author Appeal | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: Chryslers, especially from the Lee Iacocca era. Expect any Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth review to have a lot of focus on how the car fits with his idea for the company (even if it was produced after he retired). The most notable example is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, which got a few throwaway mentions of being a great car by its own merits and seven minutes of criticism for not being the kind of cheap dependable car that Iacocca favored. Mr. Regular expands on this point later in the 1994 Dodge Viper review, noting that unlike the Hellcat, the Viper was built after Chrysler rebounded financially thanks to a successful lineup of economy cars and minivans. Also Hondas. He likes their manual gearboxes, which can take any kind of abuse and are therefore fun to use,note Likely accentuating his disappointment with the transmission problems that appeared in the 2018 Honda Civic Type R especially in combination with the Honda engines that (in Mr. Regular's words) "want to go." He also likes that Hondas are dependable and hard to kill, even in the harsh winters of interior PA. He said he was "a bit of a Honda fanboy" in the 1996 Accord Wagon video. And also Toyotas, basically for doing what Iacocca's Chrysler did—make cheap, reliable cars as the baseline, and then add a line of cool cars on top as a "reward" for that. He particularly loves the MR2, but other cars get praise, as well (including the Sprinter Trueno, which he originally approached wanting to hate because of its association with Initial D fans who don't actually know much about cars). He also explicitly called himself a Toyota fanboy in one video. | |

Formula-Breaking Episode | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_670db7d7 | comment |
Formula-Breaking Episode: The reviews that either remain entirely calm, or dive headlong into Nightmare Land. The reviews of things that aren't cars. Usually motorcycles, but has extended to lawnmowers and aircraft too. The reviews of car shows, instead of cars themselves. "And to keep costs down, independent suspension was passed over for... whatever this is. *Cut to a black and white POV shot of a baseball field* PUT ME IN, COACH. *Starts undoing his pants* I'M READY TO PLAY." *cut to Mr. R chasing after a few guys* The Elise review suddenly breaks into a detailed tangent on penis pumps. When cars that are definitely not regular are reviewed. Usually these are reserved for Christmas specials (Lotus Elise, Ferrari 360, and Ariel Atom), but there's a handful of non-regular cars that were reviewed on non-holiday days. The review of a sheep (a "2017 Ovis Aries"note Ovis aries being the scientific name of the domestic sheep), in the very same style he'd review a car. And the Roman's review of a horse. A literary analysis of the themes and aesthetics of Night in the Woods, which being inspired by Rust Belt Pennsylvania, is definitely up RCR's turnpike. | |

Foreign Culture Fetish | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_6f214508 | comment |
Foreign Culture Fetish: Mr. Regular likes stuff from Australia and New Zealand (especially New Zealand, after Season 20, which was filmed there), including both automobiles (he has a solid respect for Holden and Ford Australia) and slang. He particularly likes the word "bogan", and even described the Subaru WRX I as a "cashed-up bogan" of a car in the BMW 335i review. He is also fond of the term "hoon" (for ostentatiously reckless joyriding); though that word had already caught on in some corners of American car culture, he seems to use it in practically every video involving a cheap, high-powered or tight-handling car since the first trip to NZ. (The Roman, for his part, likes one Australian in particular...) | |

The Faceless: Up to the fourth Ford Falcon video, Mr. Regular and The Roman would blur out their faces if they were in plain view (or Roman would hold up a funny sign on a clipboard). Some of the earlier videos do have their faces on camera, but usually at a distance, only for a split second, or covered by a helmet. Review videos are still going to be limited to brief glimpses and mirror shots, however. Apparently the review of the Stock Vagabond Falcon was important enough for Mr Regular to break this rule with a second reveal at the very end of the video as he walks away from the "Flagship car" of Regular car Reviews. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: "Hey. Volvo S60R. Guess what? You're NOT a BMW, and you never will be." The first half of the VW Jetta review. The entire Smart ForTwo review effectively boils down to all the reasons why the Smart car really isn't. The intro to the AE86 review, towards really devoted Initial D fanboys. The intro monologue for the Fiesta ST review. The intro to the VW GTI review as well, characterizing Volkswagen as taking advantage of their customers and their own customers as stupid enough to fall for it. He does end up liking the car by the end. | |

Averted sometimes when Mr. Regular gives positive reviews of notably terrible cars such as the Chrysler PT Cruiser, but others (notably his old Toyota Echo, Mazda RX-7 and 8, and the Chevy Chevette) play this straight. | |

For Inconvenience, Press "1": The process for pairing a phone to a 2010 Mazda 3 is deeply confusing for the uninitiated. The hands free system will speed through all available pairing options with very short pauses between each selection, uses the same voice sample for the words ''for'' and ''four'' and will stop listening if it thinks you're done. The Roman likens it to to cancelling cable. | |

Unintentional Period Piece: invokedSome of the reviewed cars (Toyota MR2 AW11 and Saturn L series for example) are described as those. A few times, though (such as the Acura NSX), he specifically points out that the car managed to achieve timelessness. The review videos themselves can be this based on recurring subject matter referenced by Mr. Regular. An example being a handful of reviews from late 2015 to early 2016 are flooded with Undertale references. | |

Self-Deprecation: Whenever he brings his own cars to car shows. For example, "This dick" when showing the Vagabond Falcon in "Pypes Car Show 2016". The Roman will also do this to his car, Red Betty, such as when he brought it to RCR's 2023 car meet ("Pfft, what jerk brought this?"). The 2003 BMW E46 M3 review has shades of this since he notes he hates the car (even more than Jettas) because it reminds him of himself. | |

Hype Backlash: Invoked and then downplayed with the AE86 Trueno review, which starts off with Mr. Regular going off on a rant about Initial D making people want to import the car — even though a major point of the series is that it's not necessarily the car that's good, the driver of it happens to be really, really good — before gradually becoming more relaxed throughout the review and explaining that it's actually a more enjoyable car than his distaste for the hype led him to believe. | |

Creator Provincialism: The series is chock full of jokes that only Pennsylvanians will truly get. The weirdly specific Pennsylvanian humor is in itself a joke, though: the meaning of the reference is usually clear from context (you can tell from Mr. Regular’s tone and the content of the joke that, for instance, the tattooed girlfriend from Lower Heidelberg Township is probably kinda trashy, or that the Lehigh Valley Mall is desperately average, or that the cheesesteaks at Citizens Bank Park are overpriced for the quality) so the specificity of the in-joke makes it funny both to Pennsylvanians (who get the reference) and outsiders (who can roll their eyes at the obvious in-joke). | |

The Alleged Car | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: What some of the other cars are like. Averted sometimes when Mr. Regular gives positive reviews of notably terrible cars such as the Chrysler PT Cruiser, but others (notably his old Toyota Echo, Mazda RX-7 and 8, and the Chevy Chevette) play this straight. | |

Lower-Class Lout | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_f34a4c1e | comment |
Lower-Class Lout: The "PA Dubbers" in the Volkswagen Rabbit pickup review are Pennsylvania VW enthusiasts whose cars are as trashy and disjointed as their personalities. | |

You Bastard! | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_f642b1f9 | comment |
You Bastard!: Without any doubt, Mr. Regular LOVES this trope. Also, his rant in the beginning of the AE86 Sprinter Trueno review serves as this. (See Take That!) | |

Running Gag | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: "Headlights go up! Headlights go down!" whenever a car has pop-up headlights. "Volvo!" whenever one of Volvo's unusual design decisions makes an appearance. "RRRRGGGRRRRGGGHHHH THIS ISN'T A CAR!" whenever Mr. Regular reviews a Suzuki motorcycle. If he doesn't say it, someone in the comments will. "NOT A CAR." "SO BRITISH" whenever discussing the peculiarities of British vehicles. "Hey, AUX jack!" "*PPHHHBBBBBTTT* fuel injection" whenever a car uses single-port (throttle-body) fuel injection instead of multi-port or direct injection. An audible fart typically preceded or followed by some variant of "Oop, real fart!" spoken or shown onscreen (sometimes both, sometimes neither) By the same token, there's the occasional burp left in too. Hell, a burp was the very first sound uttered in RCR's first episode. There was also a fart there too! If a car has a stereotypical obsession(s) amongst its owners, expect an intro all about that obsession... Mazda Miata (Track day, bro!) BMW E30 (Time attack, bro!) Toyota 4Runner (Moab, bro!) "Digital gauges. Boo-bee-bah-bee-bah-bee-bah-beep!" "Which (X) is best (X)?" (example: "Which Corvette is best Corvette?") "My (X) is best (X) because (reason)." ("My Corvette is best because motorcycle helmet.") "My (X) is best (Y)." For when an X looks more like/would be better suited for/etc. a Y than its intended purpose. "Car show"/"Cars and Coffee" (repeat throughout the video.) "Here's my toy car. (Zoom out to identical real car) Here's my real car." Accidentally hitting the windshield wipers when trying to turn on the turn signal, in a right-hand-drive car. And loudly groaning about the mistake. "This is not Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus" "The box said '10 horsepower!'", whenever he sees a car with an aftermarket air filter. "BROWN", both as a euphemism for feces, and a response to anything colored a shade of brown (especially if from the 1970s-80s). "SEW FAUNSEH", in reference to certain performance cars having something remotely perceivable as a sign of affluence. "On a long-enough timeline, everything gets an LS," whenever he sees a car that has a GM LS-series engine note A V8 known for its use in '90s and 2000s Corvettes and Camaros, and a very common engine swap on the American custom car scene swapped in. "Winga-dinga-dinga-dinga-winga-dinga-dinga-dinga...", when classic '40s, '50s or '60s American hot-rods are spotted at car shows. It's an onomatopoeia of the guitar riffs you usually hear in the repetitive rockabilly music (or "winga-dinga music" as Mr. R. calls it) that's associated with '50s greaser culture and is often played at classic car shows. By the same token, "Wampa-dampa-dampa-damp..." for pre-World War II cars. Here it's onomatopoeic for big-band jazz or swing, associated with the '30s and earlier. Following any mention of the number 69 with "nice", in the same breath, no matter the context, in reference to the longstanding meme. Using the word "brand" as a trigger for segments of THE MEAT, or general pisstakes on consumer culture, almost always spoken in a dopey, drawn-out voice. Regular's seeming inability to pronounce foreign-sounding words and names. Roman seeing a car and saying "AH WAUN'IT". "Café le EEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUGH". "...on an EMPTY ROAD IN MEXICO.", following up statements about a car's owner testing the vehicle's top speed well in excess of statutory or posted speed limits. Roman's adoration of adult-film actress Angela White, culminating in a cameo by the lady herself in a Roman-helmed review. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
Regular Car Reviews (Web Video) / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": Mr. Regular's cars, "Ol' Heller" (a Toyota Echo), "Silicone Sally" (a Honda Fit), "Goldie" (a Subaru Forester), "Susie" (a 2000 Toyota 4Runner), "the Vagabond Falcon" (a custom 1960 Ford Falcon) and "Wendy" (a pristine Toyota MR2) as well as the Roman's Ford Mustang, "Red Betty". Some reviewed cars are also given nicknames, examples being Justin Kramer's Chevette nicknamed "Squirt" (hence the license plate) and the "CamMaster": a Buick Roadmaster with a manual transmission from a Camaro. | |
