History Funny / TheNostalgiaCritic2012Episodes

** Doubles as HilariousInHindsight for the Critic and other people who haven't seen ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', where they seemingly took that complaint and erased it.

''(the [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] [[MemeticMutation Pebble Dance scene]] plays)''\\

"Please, [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Mr. Joker]], I'll do whatever you want! Just don't harm me!"\\

** This is even funnier when you realize that Stacy actually did have this sort of reaction in an actual episode of Shining Time Station (though she was under amnesia).

* The Barney sequence:
-->'''Barney:''' "I love you, you love me...some shit's going down, be ready for it..."

* When the bad guy threatens to dominate the town, the Critic (naturally) takes it sexually and has a small thinly-veiled whine about always being bottom.

** Not to mention the build up to that, wherein he hops around in a circle, [[ChewingTheScenery chewing his hat]], and somehow managing to turn his face purple.

* The Critic is trying [[TooSoon very, very hard]] not to reference the 2011 tsunami in Japan, at one point looking over his shoulder to find that [[RunningGag the Elephant in the Room]] is there, just silently staring at him.

* "[[SarcasmMode Don't you just love]] [[NightmareFuel early]] [[ConspicuousCG CGI]] technology that [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome tries to look hip]], but instead [[SpecialEffectsFailure gives you diarrhea of fear]]?"

-->'''Critic![[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]]''': [[EarWorm I love you, you love me]]- [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness some shit's goin' down! Be ready for it!]] - We're a happy fa-mi-ly!

* Comparing the voice of the alien trader [=McCoy=] speaks with to [[Disney/LiloAndStitch Stitch]]. The Critic makes for a convincing Stitch.

-->'''Critic:''' But [[Disney/{{Pocahontas}} Picardahontas]]...\\

''(text saying "[[MissingMom Kaput]]" with picture of [[Disney/{{Bambi}} Bambi's mother]] appears)''\\

* The Critic calling Mimi-Siku "[[Disney/{{Pocahontas}} Poca-hunk-as]]" at one point.

-->'''[[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs Gargamel]]:''' I will destroy the Smurfs with all my magic spells! Mwahahahahahahaha!! But say, did you know the guy who did the candle in ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' was also in ''Series/LawAndOrder''?\\

* The Critic mocking a [[SpecialEffectFailure bad CGI frog]], claiming that [[Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Prince Naveen's]] sketches are more three-dimensional.

** And later, his improbable aiming skills that would make "[[Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective Basil from Baker Street]] blush".

* "WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck [[Disney/DerFuehrersFace was a better Nazi than you!]]"

-->[[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs "Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! It's home from work we--"]] *''[[KilledMidSentence CRACK!!!]]''*

* In reaction to the opening song being completely opposite in tone to ''Somewhere Over The Rainbow'', the Critic compares it to ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', where instead of ''Be Our Guest'' they sang "GET DE FUCK OUT!" *''SLAM''*

* Comparing Scrappy's OneWingedAngel form to [[Disney/TheLionKing Pumbaa]].

* Opening the review with a recap of ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan The Wrath of Khan]]'', done in the style of ''Series/{{Batman}}''.

* The Critic's incredulity at the [[{{Determinator}} lengths]] Movie!Santa goes to make his delivery, even at the cost of his wife and reindeers' lives, and wonders if Real!Santa would do the same. Cue [[spoiler:Santa Christ appearing, having weathered three snowstorms, two tornadoes and a ''[[RuleOfThree tsunami]]'' to give the Critic a Sega Genesis...only to find out that the Critic already has one. He slams the door on the way out]].

* "Hey, sir! Listen to this! [[BeamMeUpScotty Luke,]] [[StarWars I am]] [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack your father]]."

* Near the beginning, with the female Vulcan Elder mind-melding with Spock... and getting [[spoiler:[[Literature/TheHobbit "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"]]]] for her troubles.

* The Sci-Fi Guy's cameo, tricking the Critic by being slavishly nice as he's about to die, and then [[spoiler:killing him via explosion instead]].

** [[RuleOfThree Followed by a reprisal of the song]] during the end credits of the movie [[spoiler: and the episode.]]

** Not to mention him [[spoiler: weaponizing the "cut-to-commercials" gag]] to avoid said scene:

* The ending, with the Critic rejoicing that he's nearly made it through ''Star Trek'' Month [[TemptingFate without a cameo from Linkara]]...[[spoiler: only to have a screen pop up announcing a crossover with Linkara next week.]]
** Double funny when FridgeBrilliance kicks in. [[spoiler: He said ''cameo'', not ''crossover''.]]

* A small one, but apparently, [[spoiler: [[NoodleIncident the Amish hate Linkara]]]].

** Which culminates in [[spoiler: the Critic shooting him at the end (twice), and reassuring that he will ''not'' be a RecurringCharacter.]]

* The Critic giving the movie a whippin' after finding out [[spoiler: that Carin Fisher was based on a man who was Patch's best friend, and was never molested as a child]].

--->'''Critic:''' (''frantically browsing the internet on his phone'') Maybe she ''was'' molested. Maybe she ''did'' go through all that horrible stuff. Or maybe she was... (''[[{{Beat}} finds what he was looking for and suddenly stops dead in his tracks]]'') ...[[spoiler:A MAN. Who was not romantically interested in Patch ''at all''. In fact, the female character was a complete work of fiction in this movie.]]

* Creator/LittleKuriboh's cameo, [[spoiler: where he beats the Critic senseless with a baseball bat for reviewing ''Anime/{{Ponyo|On The Cliff By The Sea}}'' (in spite of the Critic making it clear early in the review that he likes it), while going on about why it was a good movie - completely in deadpan]].
** A large part of what makes [=LittleKuriboh=]'s cameo hilarious is the [[spoiler: [[TranquilFury subtle sort of grace]] with which he seems to clobber the Critic, as if this is something he practices and does on a [[ButForMeItWasTuesday regular basis]].]] Also the HypocriticalHumor at the end, [[WebVideo/YugiohTheAbridgedSeries given his claim to fame]].

** Creator/SpikeSpencer [[spoiler:continues the RunningGag of torturing the Critic by planting a grenade in the Critic's pants during a mutual TheKnightsWhoSaySquee conversation! In other words: [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]] finally snapped.]]
** And then [[spoiler:Creator/UncleYo goes by the RuleOfThree by shooting him multiple times after pretending to agree with him, just to be a troll.]]

* When Fushimoto says the moon is going to fall to Earth, he points at it and it's been replaced by [[spoiler: the moon from ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''.]]

* The ending, with the Critic finally convincing the con-goers about how ''Ponyo is'' a good movie, and the fans seem mollified! [[spoiler: ... Until he slips the tongue on how inferior he thinks ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'' is. He is once again clobbered by the angry mob. [[SoundtrackDissonance Over the ''Ponyo'' theme song.]]]]
** [[spoiler:Someone attacking him with a Pikachu doll at the very end.]]
** [[spoiler:Someone else attacking him with a CompanionCube.]]
** [[spoiler:Others [[ContinuityNod using]] a ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'' and ''Film/AloneInTheDark2005'' DVD on him.]]
** [[spoiler:Even the WebVideo/AngryVideoGameNerd is here, and he's pissed!]]
** [[spoiler:One of them is using a Green Bay Packers hat.]]

''(text saying "[[LukeIAmYourFather Father]]" with picture of [[StarWars Darth Vader]] appears)''\\

** Over the Channel Awesome logo, which normally plays the worst line of the reviewed movie, [[spoiler: the Critic is still chipmunk-screaming about ''Battlefield Earth'']].

* After going over the screwup from ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'' ([[spoiler:Dr. Soran couldn't just fly into the Nexus with a ship]]), the Critic hints at screwups from the ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'' review. He summons Linkara, who bluntly replies:
-->"There's a commentary. *''[[http://blip.tv/at4w/special-star-trek-insurrection-review-commentary-5961677 link appears]]''* Boom. Go listen to it. Sorry about some of the audio issues."

*** [[FridgeBrilliance Even funnier when you do research]] and [[spoiler: discover that the kid in this movie grew up to be in the Caveman show.]]
* The Critic throwing rocks at pets to see if the owners will respond with playful laughter, like in the movie. [[spoiler: They do not; instead they throw knives.]]
* His PSA to writers to stop putting the word "angel" in screenplays and putting characters that are angels in movies, since those always seem to do poorly. [[spoiler: Unless they're doing a [[CallBack parody of]] ''Film/ItsAWonderfulLife''.]] His proof makes it surprisingly legit!

** Which is then followed by [[spoiler:Casper [[ChekhovsGag jumping out of the phone]] [[JumpScare and attacking him]].]]

* "[[Film/TheRoom Oh hai]], [''StarWars'' character [[{{Expy}} being ripped-off]]]!"

* "Well, that seals it! We went from StarWars to [[ParallelPornTitles Star]] ''[[ParallelPornTitles Whores]]'' in a matter of seconds!"

** The Sage's final review threat at the end of the video: [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the Transformers cartoon]]]].

** His theory on why Megatron ''still'' keeps Starscream around despite all that: [[spoiler: he makes great cookies.]]

-->[[spoiler: '''Starscream:''' Starscream Cookies are more than meets the icing!]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Megatron:''' You're ''wrong'', Starscream!]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Starscream:''' I'm ''always'' wrong!]]

* The ending, where [[spoiler:Creator/MaraWilson herself appears (by now in her 20s), calling the Critic out on holding child actors accountable for the movies they were in, no matter their age. When the Critic refuses to relent, Wilson--to the Critic's utter horror--begins showing embarrassing videos of the Critic's childhood, snarking at them all the while. A sample of the exchange:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Mara:''' How brave of you to go with those braces. Tell me, was it meant to look like your teeth were eating over them?]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Critic:''' [[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]]]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Mara:''' The acne is a nice touch, too. I bet you purposely never showered just to get that effect.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Critic:''' It was Seattle during the grunge era -- none of us did!]]
** [[spoiler:At the very end...]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Critic:''' My God, how could you be so heartless?! How could you be so cruel??! ''UNHOLY SHE-DEMON!!!'']]\\
[[spoiler:'''Mara:''' Well, so long, Critic. I'm sure now that the public has seen some of ''your'' brilliant choices as a child, they'll be just as accepting as you were of mine.]]\\
[[spoiler: '''Critic:''' '''''[[SayMyName MAAAARAAAAA]] [[SkywardScream WIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!]]''''']]\\
[[spoiler: '''Mara:''' ''([[EvilLaugh cackles evilly]])'']]
** [[spoiler:"I like wearing women's clothing! It is fun!"]]
** Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for her. [[spoiler: "DON'T FUCK WITH MARA WILSON"]], ''indeed.''
** Crossing over into real life: [[spoiler:when praised, Wilson admits that the above evil laughter is "not that different from her normal laugh."]]
** There's some Fridge Funny here: the Critic and Ask That Guy [[CaptainObvious look alike]], they've also been established to be related...which means [[spoiler:Ask That Guy, proud TheCasanova who has bragged that he's always been a sexy man-whore, looked like a horrifying nerd with acne and braces when he was thirteen too]].

* Trying to improve the best friend's sappy "I want to be like Jack" report by splicing in the killing spree from the end of ''Film/TheGodfather''. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]

* When one of the villains is frozen and told to "freeze" by a cop, the Critic pulls out a set of memes: "OF COURSE!!!" and "A-CHUCK NORRRRRRRRRRIS!!!" before pulling out the correct one: [[spoiler: "[[Film/SuburbanCommando I was FROZEN today!!!]]"]]

* The ending skit, where the Critic declares that he's going to [[DudeNotFunny beat up a blind man]]. It turns out that the blind man is Magoo, [[spoiler: and--as the Critic [[CurbStompBattle finds out the hard way]]--is actually a complete psychopath who only pretends to be blind so he can park in a handicapped space]].

** And the JO signal makes a comeback when JO uses it at the end to vent her frustrations about the movie. But the "JO" is replaced with [[spoiler:an expression Tai pulls that the Critic was disturbed by earlier on.]]

* The Critic cuts to a commercial to let JO finish her weeping over a [[ShipSinking sunken character ship]] ([[spoiler:Tai/Sora, sunk by the DistantFinale of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'']]). When they come back, [[LampshadeHanging he asks her]] why her [[YourMakeupIsRunning mascara is dripping]] when (s)he doesn't even wear mascara. (S)he's just as confused as he is.

* The Critic's smugness at managing to pull off [[spoiler: twenty minutes of pretending to be comatose]].

--->"[[spoiler:'''''[[Film/{{Troll 2}} OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!]]''''']]"
** And then he says that the twist of [[spoiler: [[BigBad Jon Voight]] [[LukeIAmYourFather being Kahuna's brother]]]] is... [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Actually Pretty Good]]. It didn't have so much {{Foreshadowing}} that ItWasHisSled, yet had just enough {{Foreshadowing}} (i.e. a FlashBack [[spoiler: showing Kahuna's brother [[GreenEyedMonster being envious of him as a teenager]]]]) that it wasn't a complete AssPull. As far as TheReveal goes, this example was done pretty well, and is completely logical... that is, for ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise Baby Geniuses 2]]'' standards.

-->'''Young!Critic:''' They say it's a satirical, hip new look at the characters I know and love.\\

'''Young!Critic:''' Oh. Well, forget it, I hate corporate sellouts. They're all narcs! They can all just kiss my ass! [[HypocriticalHumor Hey, by the way, what's it like making bajillions of dollars selling your ideas?]]
** The above exchange leads to the Critic to insist against Young!Critic making videos, before coming up with a crude explanation why not: he tells Young!Critic that one day Creator/MaraWilson will use his videos to blackmail him, to which Young!Critic replies: "...Dude, that's seriously the best you can do?"
** There's also Young!Critic's reaction when he sees The Critic talk about Creator/IslaFisher and [[Film/WeddingCrashers what she does to Vince Vaughn]], only for Young!Critic to stare blankly at him.
--->'''Young!Critic:''' Do I have to become you?\\

'''Young!Critic''': Or the one who likes Vince Vaughn tied to a bed with a sock in his mouth.\\

* The Critic and Young!Critic booing the BaitAndSwitch joke of smoke and giggling emanating from the Mystery Machine [[spoiler: turning out to be Shaggy and Scooby grilling burgers]].

-->'''Old!Critic:''' Hey, look! Velma's talking to a guy for a minute. I guess that means they're gonna get together at the end.\\
'''Young!Critic:''' Oh, please. Everybody knows that [[LesYay she's saving herself for Daphne]].
* Comparing [[spoiler: Scrappy]]'s OneWingedAngel form to [[Disney/TheLionKing Pumbaa]].

** Also, when it's revealed that [[spoiler: Scrappy]] is the villain.
-->'''Old!Critic:''' Called it!\\

-->'''Old!Critic:''' ...This movie was intended for children, right?\\
'''Young!Critic:''' I don't think it was intended for ''anybody''.

* The Critic momentarily appearing in Purgatory and meeting [[spoiler: Roger]].
** The Critic casually telling [[spoiler: Roger]] that he ate his goldfish.
* After the Critics [[spoiler:save the timestream, Roger congratulates the present one and tries to float away, all mystic-like...and then just walks off normally.]]
** Even funnier, to viewers who know the reference ahead of time, it's a WholePlotReference to [[spoiler:''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'''s series finale, "All Good Things...", with Roger in place of Q]]--and it subverts the hell out of it. (Fitting, considering [[spoiler:it was intended as the last proper episode of the show]].)

** Even though the following poker game is a huge SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} for [[spoiler: the Critic]], there is this funny exchange when [[spoiler: the Critic]] is dealing cards.

'''[[spoiler: Critic]]:''' Don't ruin the moment.

-->"[[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Man with glasses?]] Fools them. [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Turtle with hat?]] Fools them. Chimp in chair? '''[[Film/EdWood BULLSHIT!!!]]'''"

-->"[[{{Superman}} Man with glasses?]] Fools them. [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Turtle with hat?]] Fools them. Chimp in chair? '''[[Film/EdWood BULLSHIT!!!]]'''"

'''Soundwave:''' No -- I am tired of doing all the work and having no personality -- I want a StoryArc -- [[CharacterDevelopment something that gives me depth]] -- I want a romance -- yes -- a RomanticComedy -- perhaps a relationship with the toaster -- the toaster can be stuck up and high class -- I will be quirky and giving in to all sorts of antics -- [[BelligerentSexualTension at first she doesn't like me — but then — she admires my silly charm]] -- we get to know each other better -- [[ThirdActMisunderstanding but then she discovers — I was keeping a secret the whole time]] -- I try to explain I held this secret because I love her -- but she is too emotional and filled with hate -- so she decides to marry the snob -- [[DisposableFiance a real uptight guy]] with no funny lines -- [[WeddingDeadline she is about to be wed at the altar]] -- [[SpeakNowOrForeverHoldYourPeace but then — I come stumbling in — after going through some sort of comedic chase — I plead myself to her]] -- and at first -- it looks like she's not buying it -- but then -- her eyes tear up -- she turns around -- gives me a hug -- the snobby groom is angry -- but then -- my comedic {{sidekick}} comes in and punches him -- the crowd cheers -- I tell the toaster I love her -- she says she loves me -- we decide to get married but we do not show it on screen because two weddings would just be repetitive -- so we end with kind of an open ending -- something like we're driving a convertible into the sunset or something -- this leaves it open for a sequel -- I want to be played by Creator/ZacEfron -- and Creator/NataliePortman as the toaster -- there is a bit of an age difference but I think she looks young enough she can pull it off -- Creator/{{Disney}} has shown interest -- Gary Marshall is attached to direct -- it will be called ''Soundwaves of the Heart'' -- [[AvoidTheDreadedGRating it will be rated PG-13 for crude humor and adult situations]] -- but nothing too bad -- just enough to let the male demographic know that it's edgy and we'll have some gross out humor for them -- and the female demographic will instantly be drawn to the toaster -- [[EscapistCharacter they will be able to imagine themselves inserted into the role]] -- it will be released in summer preferably over a holiday weekend -- it will break records -- win awards -- it will be the SleeperHit of the year --\\

[[spoiler: '''Starscream:''' Starscream Cookies are more than meets the icing!]]
[[spoiler: '''Megatron:''' You're ''wrong'', Starscream!]]

-->'''HE''' learned nothing!? If there was a ''book'' on how to learn nothing, '''YOUR''' picture would be on the back of it! I can't believe we lost Cybertron to these bozos!"

-->'''Critic:''' Am I Alec Baldwin's delusion? Is this ''all'' Alec Baldwin's delusion?

''(cut to the robo-monster with [[LordOfTheRings creepy music]] in the background)''\\

* During the final confrontation between Patch and Dean Walcott, the Critic quietly plays [[Film/LordOfTheRings the leitmotif of the Uruk-hai]].

-->'''Critic!Thomas:''' Say, why is the town we live in called "Sodor"? Is it the retirement home for ''LordOfTheRings'' villains?

--.>'''Critic:''' You see what you did there, movie?! ''You see what you did??!'' '''[[FelonyMisdemeanor You just made Charlie Sheen]] [[DumbassHasAPoint right about something!!!]]'''

-->'''Critic''': Yes, ''[pulls out a copy of "To the Stars" by Creator/GeorgeTakei]'' like how he originally wanted to be the captain of the ''Excelsior'' in ''Star Trek II'', but you wouldn't let him. Uh, how you didn't show up to Gene Roddenberry's funeral, that was pretty douchey. And, uh, how you're just an all-round great big prick. It's a fascinating read!

* As Alec Baldwin appears in front of Stacy Jones, she just acts naturally, prompting the Critic to say:

* How he looks ready to cry at the thought of only existing as Alec Baldwin's delusion, the irony being that he ''is'' just [[Creator/DougWalker someone's]] persona.

* His increasingly exasperated reaction to [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously Peter Fonda]]'s {{Wangst}}.

* Their reaction to [[UnfortunateImplications the Oz cabs driving away from the characters.]]

* Three--[[Creator/TeamFourStar eventually six]]--men sharing a king-sized bed and reading from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. While doing impressions of Disney/MickeyMouse, WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}, Creator/LiamNeeson, [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers The Monarch]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Dr. Zoidberg]] and Creator/NicolasCage.

* "[[SarcasmMode Don't you just love]] [[NightmareFuel early]] [[ConspicuousCG CGI]] technology that [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome tries to look hip]], but instead [[SpecialEffectsFailure gives you diarrhea of fear]]?"
