*** "'''''WHY AM I SUDDENLY HOLDING A''''' '''[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} WEEDLE]]''' '''''INSTEAD OF THE COMIC?!?!?!''''' ''[[GoMadFromTheRevelation AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]]''"

* The very beginning of the video. It opens with a disclaimer warning about Linkara's dissatisfaction with the New 52, but that he do his best to be mature about it and try to give it a fair critique. [[HypocriticalHumor It then immediately cuts to him throwing a fit over it and stating that everything about it sucks.]]

-->"MONSTER?! It's a ''buck!'' Or does Lucy think that ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' was a horror movie?"

--->"I will win this staring contest!"[[note]][[RewatchBonus Note that he blinks while saying this line...]] [[DontExplainTheJoke therefore he lost.]][[/note]]\\

* One of the two thugs who dies in a plane crash looks like [[SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Robotnik]] with a sombrero.

* The title card, which depicts an exhausted Linkara trying to keep up with SonicTheHedgehog, Franchise/TheFlash, and ''Series/KamenRiderKabuto''.

'''Linkara:''' He wins? Except even faster than normal?\\

'''Linkara:''' This gonna be like a tortoise and the hare kind of thing? Because my money's still on the fast guy.\\\

* "That lightning bolt tossed me around like a salad in a dressing of chemicals."

'''Linkara:''' Then why are you having such problems catching him? Are you guys just humouring him because you feel sorry for him?\\

* "The turtle is terrible at being a criminal! It's so simple!"

'''Linkara (as Reporter):''' Isn't that an ''already'' [[ShowWithinAShow established ComicBook character?]] Aren't you gonna get sued?\\
'''Linkara (as Barry):''' Oh, yeah... Uh, how about the, ugh, the Human Race Car? Huh? ''Huh?''

'''Linkara (as Barry):''' And sometimes you [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths die while fighting a giant anti-matter creature that plans to annihilate all parallel universes]], ''and'' you're [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} responsible for creating an alternate timeline that ends up]] [[ComicBook/{{New52}} retconning your universe in 2011]]... [[AuthorAppeal Huh, not sure why I brought all that up]].

* Linkara making remarks on how the ants on the cover are green and goes on to make an Music/AlienAntFarm joke while also [[TakeThat touching on their crappy cover of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.]]
** Even better, the video was posted shortly after WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows did a review of the song...which was actually fairly positive (for the song, not the band).
* Linkara mocking the tagline "The Man in the Ant Hill" about how one man is put through a sitcom situation where [[UnwantedHarem he has to date 200,000 female ants.]]

--> '''Linkara (as Hank):''' Now I don't have to buy a doll house for my daughter's birthday! I can just shrink normal furniture!
** After Hank regrows the chair:
--->'''Linkara (as Hank):''' And the upholstery is ruined!
** We also get this little gem:
--->'''Linkara:''' "Honey! I Shrunk the Chair" really wasn't as impressive a movie as they were hoping for.
* In the comic's science convention, Linkara jokes about how [[ComicBook/BruteForce one scientist makes cybernetic armor for animals]].
** For that matter, Linkara's interpretation of a Science Convention.
* As Hank continues to perfect his serum, Linkara jokes about how his experiments would put the shipping industry out of business.
** It even goes so far as to allowing one plane to ship a whole army:
--->'''Linkara:''' [[CurbStompBattle Thus allowing enemy forces to completely destroy an entire army by just shooting down one plane!]]

* Hank gets caught by another ant after his escape from the ant tunnel and gets himself caught in the ant's mandibles, and proclaims he has a brain, in which we get this from Linkara:
-->'''Linkara (as Hank):''' [[CasualDangerDialog A human brain that is making me talk while I get scissored in half!]]

-->'''Linkara (as Ant):''' Yes human, I understand: [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You wish to mate with me on that window ledge!]]
* As Hank begins to regrow, Linkara tells the audience to "tell their own penis joke there", he knows they want to.....

-->'''Linkara''': '''I AM A MAN!!!!''' ''(punch)''\\

-->'''Linkara:''' I love how in older comics like this, they actually bothered to give a diagram of how Hank Pym's helmet was designed, as if you really needed one after the dude [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome BENCH PRESSES AN ANT!]]

* When Abin Sur says, "Yes, in your language, a Green Lantern," Linkara responds, "And in everybody's language! Except [[Characters/GLGreenLanternCorps Rot Lop Fan of the F-Sharp Bell Corps]], but he's a special case..."

--> '''Linkara''': I've really grown to love adjective titles in comic books. Uncanny X-Men! Mighty Thor! Amazing Spider-Man! ''I'' need one of those! ''("The Brown Linkara" text fades in over his head; he looks up at it)'' Could we try a little harder on that? ''(text fades out; "The Behatted Linkara" text takes its place)'' ...We'll work on it.

-->'''Alien:''' Without the slightest hesitation, I jump, for I know that nothing on this puny Earth... ''(lands hard)'' ...can ''harm'' me!\\
'''Linkara (as the alien):''' Oh, God, my legs have shattered into pebbles! This was a mistake!
* The newly transformed Thor wonders if he now has to just walk around all day as a god. "Eh, works pretty well for Tom Hiddleston."
* While pondering on what he knows about Thor, Blake (in the form of the god himself) recalls the day of the week Thursday was named in his honor.
-->'''Linkara:''' Yes, in his honor, which is why we call him Thur, God of Thonder.
*
-->'''Thor:''' The staff is changing shape!\\

-->"Only invisible force-fields make a prison, haven't you guys seen my latest movie at all?"
*
-->'''Thor:''' There's something written on the hammer! \\
'''Linkara:''' Stop. ''(holds up Thor's hammer)'' Hammertime.

'''Kamandi:''' Ah man, it's my favorite show, ''DarthWiki/CandleCove''!
** The ''DarthWiki/CandleCove'' humor continues during the credits, with Linkara revealing that the infamous "Screaming Episode" was actually the result of an error at the station, as the tape of that episode kept accidentally skipping back to the bit of everyone screaming.

--->'''Linkara:'' [[IThinkYouBrokeHim He broke me.]]

-->'''Linkara Prime:''' I am the one who lost TheGame.\\

* One of the Jake's weapons is called a grenazer. Linkara's reaction? Pull up a Nerf gun and declare it a "microwave shotgun rocket launcher"

* The return of the "We should do something." "Should we do something?" gag from his ''Countdown'' review.

"Okay. My happy pills have kicked in. The appropriate response to that line of questions...is the ''Film/BatmanForever'' clip." (cue clip) "You tell 'em Val Kilmer. You tell 'em."

* The fact that the whole review was [[RhymesOnADime done in rhyme]] due to the fact that the aliens looked like Grinches. And he kept having trouble with rhyming and admitting it in rhyme as well. Even Harvey Finevoice got into the act for the commercial bumpers!

'''Linkara:''' Okay. One: no. Two: GOD, no. Three: that was a terrible pun. Four, '''NO, NO, NO!!'''

* "The worst is yet to come. And in the meantime. I will drink myself into a religious experience. But thankfully, when that happens, I WON'T CHARGE $3 FOR YOU TO HEAR IT!"

* Linkara uses the "[[Series/DoctorWho There is logic in what he says]]" clip when a character [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literally uses the word "logic."]] [[ArtisticLicenseLogic Even if everything else he said had absolutely no logic to it.]]

'''Linkara:''' Ohhh, ComicBooks/{{Watchmen}}, [[ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree pizza deliveries in 30 minutes or less]], [[MundaneMadeAwesome disposable cameras, fast food drive thrus, cellular telephones]], [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Godzilla movies]], Toys/BeanieBabies, [[Series/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy digital watches]], [[ProductPlacement my DVD on sale now]], Creator/MrT, [[LeParkour parkour enthusiasts]], [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments cancer researchers]], Music/StephenSondheim, [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome the miracle that is everyday existence]], [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the]] [[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan second]], [[Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock third]], [[Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome fourth]], [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry sixth]] [[Film/StarTrekFirstContact and eighth]] [[Franchise/StarTrek Star Trek movies]]. (''{{Beat}}'') There's more, but I think that covers a ''wide'' range of things in particular ''that are more impressive.''

* The fact that the whole review was done in rhyme due to the fact that the aliens looked like Grinches. And he kept having trouble with rhyming and admitting it in rhyme as well. Even Harvey Finevoice got into the act for the commercial bumpers!

** Also, TheStinger. "I am rubbing a DVD on my chest. What has become of my life?" (His chuckle makes it a HeartwarmingMoment, too.)

* When the video starts and Linkara can't get the sound working for the theme song, the crowd sings along with him in its place; doubling as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* The entire 'recap' at the beginning, with a cryogenic-ly freezed Timothy Dalton, Captain Kirk, and the last Pokemon Trainer teaming up to save the Earth from the Daleks. Also doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. :D

-->'''Linkara:''' I love how in older comics like this, they actually bothered to give a diagram of how Hank Pym's helmet was designed, as if you really needed one after the dude [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome BENCH PRESSES AN ANT!]]

'''Kamandi:''' Ah man, it's my favorite show, ''[[spoiler: DarthWiki/CandleCove]]''!
** The ''[[spoiler: DarthWiki/CandleCove]]'' humor continues during the credits, with Linkara revealing that [[spoiler: the infamous "Screaming Episode" was actually the result of an error at the station, as the tape of that episode kept accidentally skipping back to the bit of everyone screaming.]]

* Linkara rant's pertaining to [[spoiler: Optimus Prime forfeiting the game (and subsequently getting killed in real life) just because he allowed some NPC's to die when trying to pull himself up after being shot in the back by Megatron.]]
-->"THAT'S NOT WHAT [[spoiler: CHEATING]] IS, YOU STUPID [[spoiler: TRUCK]]!!"

* [[spoiler:Wolverine evolves from the otter.]] And Linkara's reaction to it.

-->'''Changeling:''' [[spoiler:"HEY RUSTBUCKET! LET GO OF THE FRICKING MOON ALREADY, WILL YA!"]]

* The episode starts off with a typical PreviouslyOn skit... [[spoiler: Only to stop dead in its tracks when Linkara finds out that the [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic The Nostalgia Critic]] has returned.]]

* The review's concept itself, Linkara actually doing a lamp review[[spoiler:... except he isn't. It's a [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Cinema Snob]] parody.]]
** TheStinger: [[spoiler: Linkara reveals that the fake mustache and beard that he paid sixteen dollars for is just not working, and declares that he's drawing one in pen.]]

* As soon as he comments on the future teens' TotallyRadical slang of using "shock" instead of the F-word[[note]]probably the reason why there wasn't a Shocker 2099[[/note]], Linkara gets interrupted by 90's Kid...[[spoiler: ''20''90's Kid, that is.]]

* The comic ends with the revelation that Miguel now has fangs, claws, and worst of all, [[spoiler: Youngblood's Disease!]]

* During interviews, when Linkara ranted about DC's obsession with dead children, one of the patrons said, "[[InsultBackfire How many children died in YOUR backstory]]". His response? [[spoiler:"Technically, she was [[DeadToBeginWith already dead when the series started.]]]]"

-->'''Linkara:''' ''(exasperated)'' Starchild... ''(shakes head)'' ... [[spoiler:''(happily; gives a thumbs up)'' This is the ''best plan ever''!]]

* During the [[spoiler: Childs-thing]] scene, wondering if the Thing absorbed Rambo at some point as it's running around firing off two flamethrowers at once.

* The revelation that [[spoiler: Childs is the Thing]] prompts Linkara to stare shocked with his mouth open at the camera, complete with 'dun-dun-dun' music, only for him to immediately say he saw this coming all along.

* When Jaeris sees that [[spoiler:auxiliary command is an almost perfect replica of the 60's [[Franchise/StarTrek Enterprise]] bridge he gives this remark:]]

* This exchange as Jaeris [[spoiler: takes the helm]].

** After [[spoiler: Vyce takes control]].

** And then he punches the orphanage's benefactor [[spoiler: who happens to be a former mafioso in hiding]] in the face. At dinner. On Christmas Eve. This is after the Punisher refrains from killing someone in case the orphans see.

* Dr. Linksano's gift for Linkara:[[spoiler: Linksano manages to somehow bring a foam-walking-lizard-toy to life, through a combination of altering reality, mixing certain chemicals and drugs, using something classified, and a magic box. Linkara can do nothing but facepalm, and ask Linksano what his thought process was while making the creature. To top it all off, the lizard reveals that: not only can it talk, but it's also a WOMAN. On that note Linkara leaves to go for a walk, unsure of when he will stop. The lizard then asks Linksano why it has a metal wire sticking out of its neck, Linksano says it's necessary for her spine to function. In response the lizard simply asks for a cup of coffee.]] The sheer absurdity of it all is enough to make you scratch your head while laughing at the same time.
