Punch-Clock Villain | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: Ghostface is an assassin working for Rotten Tomatoes who kills actors with low Fresh ratings, and in the video for the second movie is a film studies professor. Babyface is a student in Krueger's "Pun-damentals" class. Unlike the source material, Babyface has nothing personal against Tree, they just want a good grade. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Coatface may be a murderer, but she vocally refuses to be microwave a dog evil, instead destroying DVDs of media Parker's actor starred in. Accidently killing a rodent puts her into a depressive state for a few scenes. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In Friday The 13th Part 3, Jason talks about "some Goonie kid named Tommy� as a nod to Corey Feldman, who played Tommy Jarvis in the Friday series as well as “Mouth� in The Goonies. Scream: Ghostface namedrops a ton of movies as reasons to target his victims, with Rotten Tomatoes stated as his employers. Adam Sandler is also called out as a source of bad movies. The list is as follows: Predator: The voices the Predator uses for his mimicry are drawn from Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies, including Kindergarten Cop and Jingle All the Way. When the Predator first confronts Arnold, the former starts rapid-firing references to the latter's other movies, such as calling Arnold a "choir boy" and a "party pooper", two insults Arnold used in End of Days and Kindergarten Cop, respectively, calling Arnold out for "terminating his buzz," and asking whether Arnold is pregnant. Happy Death Day: Babyface’s “obscure reference� when she calls Tree “Tater-Tot� is based on Jessica Rothe's role as Andie in Tater Tot & Patton. Halloween: The John Carpenter radio station calls out Dark Star, John's first feature film. Fittingly for a video about taking a character played by Jamie Lee Curtis to prom, there are a few nods to Prom Night (1980). Michael's "If she's not home by midnight, she won't be coming home" quote is the film's Tag Line, and his Imagine Spot of him and Laurie dancing together is taken directly from the film. Trick R' Treat: Quite a few, and all of them related to Brian Cox's previous work. Sam asks him about his role in Succession, his hand refers to him as "The Super Troopers guy", and the narrator calls him "the original Lecter" at various points. One of Sam's threats to Kreeg is that the old man will be taken out "like Wolvie in X2," which starred Cox as Stryker. As Kreeg tries to leave his house, the episode has some Fun with Subtitles captioning some of his meaningless noises as "Daphne's dad whimpering" and "Bourne to scream". Friday The 13th The Final Chapter continues the trend of nodding at Corey Feldman's other roles from the previous episode. Jason calling Corey Feldman “Pine Tree� is a joke about the kid’s role in Mork & Mindy, with Corey’s character in that show attending the “Pine Tree Day Care Center.� Continuing the Corey Feldman Goonies reference from the previous Friday The 13th episode, Tommy demands Jason do "the Truffle Shuffle" using audio from the movie (a reference Jason recognizes and admonishes him for), and Jason quotes Sloth’s “Hey You Guys� as Tommy kills him. Urban Legend: Coatface puts Sorority Boys and Smallville season collections in Parker's microwave. Michael Rosenbaum, who played Parker, had prominent roles in both. Michelle buys a Good Guy doll (that turns out to be Chucky) from the gas station attendant. Both are played by Brad Dourif. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In a certain sense. They're still slasher villains, but additions to their personalities in the dub include Jason trying to score a date with Chris instead of killing her, Ghostface, Babyface, and Coatface being Punch Clock Villains, The Jungle Hunter having a Blue-and-Orange Morality with his goal to have a good party and kill any party poopers, and "the little shit" stopping Zoran from killing himself in the title sequence. Episodes with an Evil All Along character drop the twist in favour of making the killers their own characters. Billy Loomis / Skeet Ulrich in Scream (1996), Lori in Happy Death Day, and Brenda in Urban Legend all become innocent bystanders as a result. At the end of Urban Legend, Michelle ends up picking up Chucky, who makes no visible attempt to harm her and even attempts to save her life by warning her about Coatface. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Ghostface is targeting characters for being played by actors who were in poorly received movies. To be fair, he's being hired for this, but his attitude implies he agrees with his employers. Kermit the Frog calls the cops on Chris for interrupting him while he is singing a parody of "Rainbow Connection". | |

Sanity Slippage: Babyface goes a bit loopy (no pun intended) during the time loop, with the final instance of the loop resulting in her eating her cupcake, spouting a massive Hurricane of Puns ending in a Precision F-Strike, and ending the episode in a straitjacket. | |

Take That! | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Ghostface has to clarify that he doesn't kill actors from Adam Sandler movies, he kills people from bad movies. It just so happens that Sandler makes a lot of bad movies. During Danielle Harris' cameo in the Urban Legend video, she bemoans in-character how Jaime Lloyd's setup as Michael's successor in the Thorn Trilogy Halloween movies was squandered with nonsense like psychic powers or being forced by the Cult of Thorn to have his incest baby (the latter of which causes Coatface to puke in response to hearing about). Also in the Urban Legend video, Pinhead tells Coatface at the end not to get her hopes up about a career in sequels, as they won't bother reusing characters or following the story. In the Scream 2 video, during the film class debate on sequels, Zoran inserts himself to take some potshots at Jamie Kennedy's role in the later Tremors films, which Ghostface also calls out while killing Randy. | |

Offscreen Teleportation | |
| They Talk (Web Video) / int_c691d3f4 | comment |
Offscreen Teleportation: An often Parodied Trope. In Scream, Ghostface Lampshades the nonsensical nature of the trope by having Ghostface ask Neve not to look down the street to see him running away. In Friday The 13th, Halloween, and Urban Legend, teleportation becomes an actual power exploited by the killers. In the case of Jason and Michael, the trope is poked fun at by having the teleportation occur onscreen in a puff of smoke, with Jason even using a magic wand. | |
