History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS6E6

-->'''Peter''': It's Hit Writing Fact #1: If you say you're doing something painful and stupid, it's immediately no longer painful and stupid!\\

-->'''Critic:''' In a drawing, you can get away with leaving certain things out, like upper lips, per se. They would look like ''wrinkles'' if you put them in a drawing, but in real life, it looks fucking ''scary''! The reason Cindy Lou was the only cute character in ''The Grinch'' was because she's the only one who was allowed to have an upper lip. Everyone else looked like a demon possessed Hungry Hungry Hippo! And these two [the Things] look like ''Film/TheShining'' girls if Bozo the Clown gave them Jagerbombs!

** For every line that was GettingCrapPastTheRadar, [[Series/SesameStreet Count Von Count]] enumerates how many times Dr. Seuss "rolled in his grave" (eight for the Cat's "dirty hoe", then becomes nine for Conrad's attempt to spell the acronym of the "Super Hydraulic Instantaneous Transmission" car).

** The "new" Dr. Seuss logo contains the clip of [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie Lickboot]] saying "[[MemeticMutation We've got to have.....MONEY!]]"

* MemeticMolester: InUniverse, the how Critic sees Myers' Cat. It was so bad he was even forced to admit that at least Creator/JimCarrey fared better as [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the Grinch]], because at least he had a clear character and was still able to be expressive through his makeup, whereas Myers seems to have two expressions: "pedo smile" and "happy I shit my pants".

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Evillina, Peter, and his two analysts. Evilina gets better by the end, but the other three…not so much.

'''Peter Soulless''': HEY! What are you doing with that fork! (screams as he is getting stabbed)\\

* DealWithTheDevil: Turns out Critic sold his soul to Satan to be able to do a good General Zod impression. [[spoiler:And so did Peter to make commercially successful Seuss movies.]]

* VillainousBreakdown / NearVillainVictory: This is Soulless' reaction to the Critic's heartfelt speech: he yells, "No! You're wrong!" and furiously bombards the Critic and Evilina with bad clips of other movie adaptations of Dr. Seuss stories, ordering them to appreciate them unquestionably. As they cower in fear at these clips, Soulless laughs insanely at this, thinking he has won at last. [[spoiler:And he would have if not for Satan's arrival.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: This is Soulless' reaction to the Critic's heartfelt speech: he yells, "No! You're wrong!" and furiously bombards the Critic and Evilina with bad clips of other movie adaptations of Dr. Seuss stories, ordering them to appreciate them unquestionably.

* BrokenAesop: The Critic thinks the film's message (A little rule-breaking is fine as long as it doesn't get out of hand) doesn't work because the son comes across as a BrattyHalfPint taken UpToEleven, and the daughter is [[ControlFreak the other extreme]] also taken UpToEleven, rather than normal kids.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Evillina, Peter, and his analysts. Evilina gets better by the end, but the other three…not so much.

* FlatCharacter: The critic feels this way about the cat, and emphasizes that his signature wheezy laugh heard throughout the film does ''not'' give him characterization.

* OverlyLongGag

** The Critic's view of the human cast, declaring StephenHawking's [[ComputerVoice voice box]] is more emotive.

* CastingGag: Rob portrays a member of a crooked entertainment company [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee once]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS6E2 again]].

* ShoutOut

* TotallyRadical: Pop cultures references are also skewered as a cheap way to connect to the audience, [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece and dating the film]].

* TheyJustDidntCare: InUniverse, the Critic puts up the the "Not-Caring Meter", its levels represented from lowest to highest by: Creator/KeanuReeves in ''Film/TheMatrix'', Creator/TommyLeeJones in ''Film/BatmanForever'', Dennis Hopper in ''Film/SuperMarioBros'', RussellCrowe in "everything he's in" (the picture being one of him from ''Film/LesMiserables2012''), Creator/HalleBerry in ''{{Film/Catwoman}}'', and at the top Creator/JeremyIrons in ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons''. He rates Sean Hayes' role as Mr. Humberfloob right up there with Irons.

* VillainousBreakdown: This is Soulless' reaction to the Critic's a heartfelt speech: he yells, "No! You're wrong!" and furiously bombards the Critic and Evilina with bad clips of other movie adaptations of Dr. Seuss stories, ordering them to appreciate them unquestionably.

** Later, he also ignored the Critic's heartfelt speech to him and proceeds to show him bad clips from other Dr. Seuss movies.

* ShutUpHannibal: The Critic delivers an epic one to Peter when he tries making himself out as a WellIntentionedExtremist.

!!!Tagline:''' Bad... BAD kitty!

** After watching the "dirty hoe" joke, [[Series/SesameStreet Count Von Count]] appears to exclaim "Eight! That's eight time Dr. Seuss rolled in his grave. Ah-ah-ah." (Then becomes nine.)

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Analyst 1 and Analyst 2 kill themselves when Critic makes the statistics chart disappear.]]

* FelonyMisdemeanor: Critic admitting to thinking Mike Myers isn't that funny is treated with horror from Evilina and her father.

* ScreamingAtSquick: The Critic and Evilina's reaction to the "things".

** Evilina wonders if the Cat the lovechild of [[LooneyTunes Pepe le Pew]] and [[McDonalds Ronald McDonald]].
** Upon seeing the Cat's Carmen Miranda impersonation, the Critic begins wondering if he's actually watching a weird episode of ''Series/ToCatchAPredator''. Then he decides this is meant to be one of the [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake trailers]] that air before ''Film/TropicThunder''.
** The two "things" are called a mutated mix of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]] and [[Magazine/{{Mad}} Alfred E. Neuman]], and if the creepy twins from ''Film/TheShining'' were given jagerbombs by WesternAnimation/BozoTheClown.
** [[Series/SesameStreet "Eight! That's eight time Dr. Seuss rolled in his grave. Ah-ah-ah."]] (Then becomes nine.)

* [[invoked]]TheyJustDidntCare: For this, the Critic has the The Not-Caring Meter, its levels represented from lowest to highest by: Creator/KeanuReeves in ''Film/TheMatrix'', Creator/TommyLeeJones in ''Film/BatmanForever'', Dennis Hopper in ''Film/SuperMarioBros'', RussellCrowe in "everything he's in" (the picture being one of him from ''Film/LesMiserables2012''), Creator/HalleBerry in ''{{Film/Catwoman}}'', and at the top Creator/JeremyIrons in ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons''.

** The "new" Dr. Seuss logo contains the clip of [[Film/TomAndJerryTheMovie Lickboot]] saying "[[MemeticMutation We've got to have.....MONEY!]]"

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Evillina, Peter, and his analysts. The former gets better; not so with the latter three.

* [[invoked]]AdaptationDisplacement: When Critic decides to read ''Literature/TheCatInTheHat'' book to Evilina, she expresses confusion at why the whole book is in rhyme and contains no toilet humor or pop culture jokes.

* CallBack: Peter's return from [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS6E2 the review of]] ''Film/PearlHarbor''.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Evillina, Peter, and his analysts, though she gradually learns to think smarter. The others, however, do not.
-->'''Analyst 1''': Well, the chart says...
-->'''Critic''': I'm not asking the chart, I'm asking you!
-->'''Analyst 1''': Well, the chart says...
-->'''Critic''': You are everything that is wrong with entertainment!
-->'''Analyst 1''': But ''the chart says...''

* [[spoiler:DraggedOffToHell: Peter Soulless at the end.]]

* DullSurprise: Critic's view of the human cast, declaring StephenHawking's [[ComputerVoice voice box]] is more emotive.
--> '''Hawking''': '''[[AC:God. Put some fucking emotion into it.]]'''

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even Satan takes offense to the Critic's comment that Mike Myers isn't that funny.
** He's also surprised by Critic suggesting [[spoiler:he torture Peter in some horrific way involving a fork]], but ultimately is impressed by his imagination.
*** He also seemed rather disgusted by Soulless to begin with.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Peter ignored Critic's heartfelt speech to him and proceeds to show him bad clips from other Dr. Seuss movies.
** Earlier, Peter says that they needed to add extra morals to compensate for the longer running time. The Critic replies by mentioning that ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'' and ''Film/MaryPoppins'' were able to keep their morals focused with the longer running time. Peter's response?
-->"Oh, what good are those films, anyway?! They don't even have pop cultural references!"

* LampshadeHanging / BetterThanABareBulb: Critic takes a dim view of this, seeing it as just lazily acknowledging how dumb the joke is instead of writing a better joke.
-->'''Peter''': It's Hit Writing Fact #1: If you say you're doing something painful and stupid, it's immediately no longer painful and stupid!
-->'''Evilina''': Oh, I see! Critic, I'm going to hit you! (''slaps him, he yells'') You can't scream, it's no longer painful and stupid!
-->'''Critic''': (''punches her back'') Yes it is! This whole movie is!

* MemeticMolester: [[invoked]] Critic compares Mike Myers's Cat to Jim Carrey's portrayal of [[Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas the Grinch]] and notes that while Carrey had a clear character and was still able to be expressive through his makeup, Myers seems to have two expressions: "pedo smile" and "happy I shit my pants".

* OverlyLongGag: Peter showing off the Cat's AnnoyingLaugh.
** Critic and Evilina's long silence in response to the Cat's GroinAttack.

* {{Rimshot}}: Happens when Critic alludes to the time Dakota Fanning played [[{{Film/Coraline}} a lifeless puppet]]

** Critic decides, upon seeing the Cat's Carmen Miranda impersonation, that he wonders if he's watching a weird episode of ''Series/ToCatchAPredator''. Then he decides this is meant to be one of the [[RealTrailerFakeMovie fake trailers]] that air before ''Film/TropicThunder''.
** The two "things" are called a mutated mix of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]] and [[{{Magazine/Mad}} Alfred E. Neuman]] and if the creepy twins from ''Film/TheShining'' were given jagerbombs by Bozo the Clown.
