** There are two jokes involving Creator/HankAzaria as Gargamel and his work on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. The Critic compares Gargamel to a bald Moe Szyslak from an unfunny version of ''the Simpsons'', which Andre clarifies as [[TakeThat the current state]] of ''the Simpsons''. Later, when Gargamel gets tased, the Critic compares Gargamel's noises to Professor Frink [[ADateWithRosiePalms getting]] [[BrainBleach jerked off]].

** When the Critic notes that Gargamel's motive is to capture the Smurfs to extract their essence and make himself rich, Andre assumes he's talking about Sony Pictures instead.

Added DiffLines:

* BrickJoke: After realizing that the movie is a romantic comedy that just happens to have Smurfs, the Critic compares that to having a [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust Holocaust]] movie that suddenly decides it needs [[Series/FraggleRock Fraggles]]. A fake poster for such a movie, titled "Mokey's Choice", is shown, with the Black Nerd noting that it's coming out next week. At the end of the [[RealTrailerFakeMovie Pet Rock movie trailer]] that closes out the episode, it's revealed to be coming out on the same weekend as Mokey's Choice, to the Critic and the Black Nerd's grief.


Added DiffLines:

* CutawayGag: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d where, following a bit showing Andre continuing to do his videos while trapped in the Critic's storage closet, [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] appears and says, "You think that's bad? How about the time--?"
-->'''Critic:''' ''(shoving Peter aside)''' Okay, enough of the cutaways!
