--->They didn't even put glue! They pasted everything with poo! And they hope it'll hold together once dry!

50/50 now has its own page


** ''50/50'''s format is a way to [[DefiedTrope defy]] this trope: no matter how much Links thinks the movie he's reviewing sucks, he ''has'' to find five positive points about the movie. Conversely, he has to find five negative points even if he loved the movie, which proved particularily difficult for ''Film/TheShining''.



* CrossCastRole:
** In a few episodes of ''Le Pire Editeur du Monde'', Links plays Creator/JKRowling (''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone''), Creator/AgathaChristie (''Literature/AndThenThereWereNone''), and Creator/ELJames (''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'') while not wearing any disguise.
** ''Film/Dune1984'' ''50/50'':
*** The introduction of the video summarizes the film's chaotic preproduction. Lou plays Creator/RobertBolt and Creator/HRGiger ([[AvertedTrope and Raffaella De Laurentiis]]).
*** A parody of the scene where Alia threatens the emperor and Reverend Mother Mohiam features Alia played by ''David''.

** In the secondary channel, Links made a review of ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' and gave it the grade of "F" (and called it "the worst book I read in my life.") Two months later, he made a ''50/50'' about [[Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey the movie adaptation]], and in the introduction he gave three good points of the novel: 1) The bare premise of the plot works and could make a good story if properly used. 2) Some men wrote to E.L. James to explain the novel made them realize they were similar to Christian, and this made them change their behavior. 3) If this book was able to become a world-famous best-seller, absolutely anything can reach the same level of success. In general, Links found the movie better, but that's not saying much considering how much he loathed the book. Note that, among the five good points he found about the movie, there's photography (a purely technical aspect) and "some elements have been removed from the adaptation".
** In the ''50/50'' giving a negative review to ''Film/RedNotice'', one of the good points he found is that the actors seemed to have fun during the shooting. In a later video where he comments the ''50/50'', Links mentions he ''really'' struggled a lot in order to find five positive point.

* NotHyperbole: In the ''50/50'' review of ''Red Notice'', he comments that literally half of a character's dialogue is jokes, before precising that it's not a figure of speech, the exact amount is 58.8%, he did the math.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In the ''50/50'' about the ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' movie, Links comments the differences between the book and movie version of the scene where Anastasia awakes in Christian's bed after blacking out drunk, and learns Christian didn't took advantage of her. Before commenting her reaction in the book (Anastasia's inner monologue views the fact Christian didn't rape her as a proof he doesn't find her attractive), Links introduces the sequence by swearing it's really in the book, then gives an extract as a proof.



** In the ''50/50'' about the ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' movie, Links uses culinary metaphors instead of more explicit descriptions each time he comments sex scenes.



** In the ''50/50'' about David Lynch's ''Dune'', Links is triggered each time the pug appears onscreen.



* SoOkayItsAverage: {{Invoked}} in the ''50/50'' about ''Red Notice''. Links' review points out it's objectively a flawed movie without much good points, but watching it is a very fun recreation. In the usual subsequent video where he comments the review, Links explains he really struggled to find the 10 points worth of being examined in the review.



* WriterRevolt: {{Invoked}} in the ''50/50'' about ''Red Notice''. Links notes the movie is so filled with meta jokes, clichés, [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] sometimes being borderline plagiarism, invincible protagonists in a story without any stakes, plot holes... and theorizes ''Red Notice'' writers deliberatedly delivered a flawed work because it was commissionned movie that nobody wanted to do.
