* UngratefulBastard: He practically accuses Masaru of being this in ''[[Series/{{Kikaider}} Android Kikaider]]'' when the latter yells at Jiro for destroying two of Professor Gill's henchbots who had "befriended " him earlier to use him as Kikaider bait, something they admitted to ''in front of him'' and would have harmed him and his sister had Jiro done nothing.

* VaguenessIsComing: The ''Violence Jack'' review was ominously announced with "Violence is coming...".

* WaxingLyrical: Sage calls out Dee in ''Fake'' for asking if Ryo is "oriental" by quoting ''Theatre/AvenueQ'':

* WholePlotReference: The framing device for ''Twilight of the Cockroaches'' is based on ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', with Sage dressed up as Jay Sherman. The commentary for the episode points out that several commenters on the original video [[SmallReferencePools missed the reference completely]].
* WordPureeTitle: In the ''De:vadasy'' review, Sage calls out ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'' on this.

* {{Yarling}}: During the ''Endless Waltz'' review, to sum up the character trope of attractive but {{angst}}y males that was so dominant in the 90s and early 00's, Sage yarls out "Pretty boys with probleeems! (yeah!)"

* YouNeedToGetLaid: He speculates that this is the reason Sho Aikawa's early work is so nihilistic and hateful, and he thanks the anonymous person who finally did give him the blowjob that led him to tone down his later work.

** He points out in his ''Gundress'' review that it's not seen as polite in Japanese culture to be so upfront and forthright when answering direct questions, especially when one has nothing nice to say, so people subtly get their point across in their answers. That makes it all the more jarring to see two of the film's animators directly criticize Creator/ShirowMasamune's designs in the making of documentary.

** He points out in his ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' review that Christianity isn't as prevalent a religion in Japan but is seen as an aesthetic alternative. As such, the production staff used Christian iconography to help it stand out amongst other SuperRobot anime, and they would have not done so had they known ''Evangelion'' would get internationally distributed.

What perplexes him the most is that the story [[DesignatedVillain also treats Jiro as being in the wrong for doing so]].

* ValuesDissonance: [[invoked]] In his ''Fight! Spirit of the Sword'' review, he plays an excerpt from the behind-the-scenes featurette with an actor reading a line with the word okama, which he points out has since been labeled a slur. "It was the 90's" he says in his caption.

-->''You little idiot! Your "friends" just flat out told you that they were using you to get to Kikaider! And yet, you still think that Jiro is the bad guy! [...] Kid, you got played! And Kikaider defended not only himself, but your sister and your dumb little ass.''

--->''Seme, buddy, where you been? The term is Asian-American. I know you are no intending to be. But calling him [[{{Engrish}} orienter]], offensive to he.''

** In his ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': ''Tendo Family Christmas Scramble'' review, he considers the dub casting [[CrossdressingVoices an actress as Male Ranma]][[note]] Sarah Strange[[/note]] to be one of its most confounding decisions. The dub already cast a separate actress as Female Ranma, thus wasting a good opportunity for [[ActingForTwo either to voice both halves]], and the actress for Male Ranma [[LarynxDissonance is clearly affecting her voice]].

* WhatAnIdiot: [[invoked]] During the ''Angel Cop'' review, Sage refers multiple times to the title character's idiocy, with the crowning moment being at the climax when an obvious solution to the issue isn't even considered.
-->'''Sage''': *''counting off''* Complete bitch, a total hypocrite, dumber than a bag of hammers, and now, skull-fucking incompetent. [...] The asshole rapist from ''Doomed Megalopolis'' is lower than fucking pond scum, but at least he was somewhat intelligent. Bitch Tits here? Completely irredeemable.

* UnfortunateImplications: Brought up in ''Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra'' with the whole romance subplot. Short version: The love interest and her two sisters are essentially part of a HiveMind with each of them forming one third of a whole person. So after Cobra's love interest dies, he meets her sister, who declares that because her sister loved him, she will now love him too and that he will love her, and promptly abandons her role in LaResistance now that he's shown up apparently BecauseDestinySaysSo. ''And neither of them get a say in the matter''. Even though Sage takes a shot at Website/{{Tumblr}} feminists in the process, he describes this plot as deeply uncomfortable for multiple reasons.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: His biggest complaint about the random CatGirl in ''Manga/PilotCandidate'' isn't that she exists or her ears are never explained, it's that ''no one'' reacts to them at all or even seems to notice. He also points out that it could be addressed in only a few lines of dialog that they never bothered to add by creating his own.
