Spiritual Successor: To the Nostalgia Critic, as he uses the reviewing style & does a good mix of using reference clips from movies, or TV shows, & sketches/cutaway gags, while Doug seems to have shifted from one to the other completely after bringing back the critic, as well as not coming off as a complete asshole with the dark comedy, and has a good amount of analysis of the movies at the end, which Doug introduced in 2013 to the NC. In addition to that, Il Neige. Especially with Neige not having a review out for a while, and even then, it was a long time since the one before, he seems to be filing the role quite well as a quirky non-Channel Awesome affiliated movie reviewer on YouTube from the late 90s to early/late 2000s generation. Though he doesn't have the limit of only reviewing movies from 2000 on, though even Neige has reviewed a movie that wasn't from the 2000s before. Two, if you count Pokémon 2000, which was released first in Japan in 1999, almost a year before America. He also handles visual effects very well in his own way that makes him stand out.

Spit Take
 The Unusual Suspect (Web Video) / int_643659d4
comment
Spit Take: Suspect, as a Sony exec, does this when "another" says to sell the rights of Spider-Man back to Marvel. Suspect does another in the The Two Towers review, when he founds out that the long-haired effeminate boy he mistook for a girl is actually a boy.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: In his review of Star Wars Episode II, he remarks that Obi-Wan survives jumping out of a 1000-story window, taking a missile to the face, and seeing Anakin and Padme together.

Bait-and-Switch: In the review of the Fellowship of the Ring, he notes the similarities between the names of Aragorn and Arathorn. Then he says that if Gimli's father is called Gloin then it's pretty obvious what Gloin's father's name was: Gerald.

Money, Dear Boy: invoked His only rationale why The Amazing Spiderman exists (though he adds that he actually enjoyed the film and its' main problem was just that it was too similar to the Sam Raimi one).

Used three times in the second movie, because this is the movie where the clip is from. The third time, Suspect interrupts Snape, promising to be nice.

Take That!
 The Unusual Suspect (Web Video) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: He does plenty of these: Musicians... In his review for The Two Towers, he notes that the letter 'r' is the most sinister letter in the alphabet, pointing out all the evil things with the letter r in them, at the end of the list? Chris Brown. "You fool, no man can kill me." ...filmmakers... Tommy Wiseau is subject to getting killed quite a bit. In his Die Another Day review, when the doctor of the gene therapy clinic says that they use the tissue of orphans, runaways, and people that won't be missed, Suspect gets out his mobile and call Adam Sandler. ...and politicians. In his Spider-Man 3 review, when looking through a dictionary to prove the accuracy of it, he finds the word Wanker... with a picture of David Cameron next to it. He also takes a shot at Nick Clegg's backpedaling on tuition fees in the "Top 10 Things Episodes 4-6 Got Wrong" video to demonstrate the dickishness of Obi-Wan's "certain point of view" excuse for why he didn't really lie to Luke about his dad being dead. He also equates the usefulness of Star Wars: Episode I's Senate with that of real-world politicians.

Shout-Out
 The Unusual Suspect (Web Video) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To Jeremy Jahns, with his quoting Jeremy's "It's a good time...if you're drunk" rating, to Mr. Plinkett in his Phantom Menace review where he plays the beginning of his Phantom Menace review in his review, Nostalgia Critic, obviously, Il Neige, subverted when he calls him just to tell him he was stealing his "EXTREME!!!" yell set to a guitar in one of his Lord of the Rings reviews where a character does something, well, extreme, to Family Guy, The Simpsons, Jerry Springer, etc. In his Power Rangers theme song mashups, whatever movie/media he chose to mash with whatever season theme song he chose to go with it. Cinema Sings, whatever band he chose with the movie clips he used to cover the songs. Gets a few shout outs itself, such as when Billie Joe Armstrong tweeted about the "Basket Case" video.

Retirony: He has made two separate jokes about this. First is in his The Matrix review, when Trinity throws a knife at a guard's head and it kills him, Suspect dubs over saying "Damn! Two day till retirement." The second one is in his Home Alone review, when the police officer fails to catch Kevin, Suspect says this is particularly embarrassing for the cop since he was only two days from retirement.

Once per Episode
 The Unusual Suspect (Web Video) / int_f05444a4
comment
Once per Episode: Each of his Harry Potter movie reviews features one instance where he's about to finish a dick joke, only to be interrupted by Snape yelling "Silence!" Except for the first movie, because the clip of Snape is from the second movie. Used three times in the second movie, because this is the movie where the clip is from. The third time, Suspect interrupts Snape, promising to be nice. For the third movie, Snape interrupts a poop joke instead.

Running Gag
 The Unusual Suspect (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Snape yelling "Silence!" every time Suspect is about to finish a dick joke or about to say the punchline to a joke engaging in any kind of toilet humor. The "Shame" Bell. Suspect inserting himself in the films he reviews, either via green screen or by appearing in a in-universe screen such as in the Die Another Day review. As of the Star Wars Episode I review, Bob the drug dealer interrupting Suspect's review to offer him fictional drugs like the Death Sticks from Star Wars Episode II and the gold stars from Super Mario Bros games has become one. As of his Spider-Man 2 video, superimposing Mr. Aziz's likeness over the footage. "GOOO!"
