->''Seeing as [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]] copy and pasted last year's ''FIFA'' onto [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Switch]] again this year – once again saying it has the same gameplay [[CreatorsApathy "without any new development or significant enhancements"]] on its store page for the full price of [=$49.99/£44.99=] – I've decided to do the same and copy and paste my review of ''FIFA 20'' on Switch below as my review of ''FIFA 21''.''

->"The first Transformers probably required a little bit of thought, don't get me wrong. Because, we never really saw that before. We never saw robots fighting each other on top of buildings, and yeah now they're fucking everywhere, but before it was kind of new. And we couldn't wait to see what the next one was gonna be because you know what the fist one had...a fight in the desert, a fight in the city, it had the transformers music it was unbelievable. You know what the [[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen second one]] had? A fucking fight in the desert, yeah we saw that. You know what the [[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon third one]] had? A fucking fight in the city, yeah we saw that. You know what the [[Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction fourth one]] had? ''[[SuddenlyShouting A FIGHT IN THE FUCKING CITY!]]'' '''WE JUST SAW THAT''' '''''IN THREE GOD-DAMN MOVIES!!!!!'''''

->"Were it in any other position, it would accumulate enough of my saliva to run all its household plumbing for several days. Unfortunately, ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' is in the uncomfortable position of necessarily having to be compared to ''[[VideoGame/{{Portal 1}} Portal 1.]]'' And taking both games as wholes, it can't possibly have the same impact. Certainly there's ''more'' of it, but that just makes it flabbier. And it's still funny, but more in a broader, '[[DenserAndWackier custard pie-to-the face]]' sense than in a finer, 'snooker cue-to-the-bollocks' sense."

->''Okay pal, stop right there. I know you’re just doing the same imitation of the Kurgan that every ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' bad guy does, but it doesn’t work that way. The Kurgan was cheesy and menacing because he didn’t go full out over the top until late in the film. Our first introduction to the Kurgan was when he was dressed in badass armor and nearly killing Connor. Then in the modern day, he remained a largely silent menacing figure until late in the film when he went full-blown psycho in an attempt to get into Connor’s head. Every villain since then has tried to go [[EvilIsHammy full-out crazy right from the beginning]] without building up any of the menace, and the Guardian is probably the worst offender in that regard.''

->[[Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy Anchorman]]'' is an incredibly funny movie. But that’s when the charm and hilarity started to fade. ''[[Film/TalladegaNightsTheBalladOfRickyBobby Talladega Nights]]'', while still a little funny, was the marked moment where Ferrell jumped the shark as it were. The joke suddenly began to be how many permutations of movies he could make on his screaming [[ManChild man-child]] formula by [[{{Typecasting}} simply changing his clothes]]. We started at screaming man-child as a weatherman, to man-child as a race car driver, to [[Film/SemiPro basketball player]], to [[{{Film/Elf}} an elf]], to [[Film/KickingAndScreaming a children’s soccer coach]], to finally there were no more clothes and he’s just a loud man-child in ''Film/StepBrothers''... However, whereas Ferrell started simply ruining his own ideas he is now ruining other people’s good ideas in ''Film/LandOfTheLost''. Of course, we can make Ferrell a screaming man-child scientist! Brilliant!''

->''When [[Creator/TerranceDicks Terrance]] recounts the story of Creator/TerryNation writing his third Dalek script after ''[[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS10E4PlanetOfTheDaleks}} Planet]]'' and ''[[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS11E3DeathToTheDaleks}} Death]]'' and how he and Barry Letts amiably told him that it was a good piece of work except he had already sold to them twice already, it is very apt. ''Beyond the Ultimate Adventure'' has exactly the same problem – except the ‘good piece of work’ bit.''

->''This episode was rife with [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory the Jesus injection.]] They got a big ole stereotype needle, loaded it up with platitudes, and shot it into Superman and Doomsday... This is, of course, utter crap. If there is a devil on this show, it's Lex. If there's a Jesus, it's Clark. Doomsday is at best one of the beasts of the apocalypse. He's [[ImplacableMan a dull, mindless killing machine]] whose sole purpose is to kill Superman. Judas is a close metaphor, but Judas doesn't beat Jesus to death, he sells him out to the Romans.\\\
[[PutOnABus Lex is gone]], and so the writers are trying to [[MeetTheNewBoss insert importance upon a temporary character,]] and this undermines the efficacy of the previous legend, which is already more undermined by the minute with the cheap ploys and absent characterizations that make up this show.''

->''But I do take issue with the one anonymous show source who claims they’re having trouble booking talent for the show, or the publicist that accused {{Creator/Ellen|Degeneres}} of catering to the [[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians Kardashians.]] Yes, they’re on the show way too much. But every time a Kardashian or Jenner appears on ''Ellen'', they almost always look like a completely different person. That counts as booking new talent.''

->"If I was a robot, maybe I would be able to tell you ''Twilight Princess'' is better than ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''.\\\
I'm not, though. The fact of the matter is, I don't respect ''Twilight Princess'' in the same way I respect ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' and ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]''. Even if those games have failings, they don't exist in the shadow of their older brother."

->"The trouble with a series as it gets older is that it can feel like a tradition, and tradition is the enemy of suspense, and it's the enemy of comedy. It's the enemy of everything, really. So you have to shake it up."

->"My biggest problem is that it's called ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4''. I'm not kidding, my biggest problem with this game is its fucking name. By making it a sequel to these gems right here, I think you're creating massive shoes to fill, and, in my opinion, it doesn't come close to doing that."
