* [[invoked]] AdaptationDecay: The Critic argues that trying to bring a logical story to a world that lacks logic completely goes against the original story's themes.

* BornInTheWrongCentury: The Critic starts a segment called "Tired Oppression Clichés for Tired Free-spirited Whippersnappers" to emphasize how cliched it is to have a character with beliefs [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory that don't align with the values of the time]]:
--> '''Critic''': This leaves Alice with a mother who is certainly a product of the times, who isn't willing to accept Alice because, of course, she's ahead of her time. And doesn't realize that the "ahead of the times" cliché has been done do many times [[{{Irony}} that it actually makes it behind the times]].



* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler: In-Universe, Tim Burton after his motivating speech to The Critic about the films he made, ends up canceling his next feature ''Big Eyes'' for an adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter.]]

Added DiffLines:

* StrawCharacter: Subverted with Tim Burton, since although the episode involves the Critic mocking him for the cliches he's famous for, he ends up on the receiving end of a speech by Tim Burton about how creators have to take risks.
