** The stinger of [[https://youtu.be/EmC5Zte5RnM "A Deep Dive Into The Cinemassacre Backlash" has Emily get attacked by Rex Viper for insulting his band. His venom causes Emily's face to change into a new profile pic, and Emily fights back using a Dragon Slayer sword.

** The stinger of [[https://youtu.be/lvMSxfQDb6c The Evolving Relationship of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy]] has Emily point out that ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' perplexingly had a pride event where the player gets rewarded for repeatedly beating up Poison Ivy. The event was canceled due to backlash.

* TheStinger: After the main portion of [[https://youtu.be/fufMS8Mzdiw "The Return of Channel Awesome's Demo Reel"]] is seemingly over and Emily does a sponsorship and shows her list of patrons like she does at the end of most of her videos, she remembers she never recounted how the ''Demo Reel'' reboot concluded. After doing so and realizing that the reboot's ending has the same conclusion as her previous video on the series, she begins laughing maniacally.

** The channel's banner features a ''ComicBook/{{Batman}} figure and a ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' poster.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Emily uses the word "buckwild" at some point in most of her videos.

* SoBadItWasBetter: Her video on ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark'' argues that in some ways the arguably worse version of the musical was also far more interesting than the final product (if only because, as she puts it, "Peter Parker needs to marry a spider to death").

* SoBadItsGood:[[invoked]] Emily is fascinated by terrible content, such as ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark'', and her video on it argues that in some ways the arguably worse version of the musical was also far more interesting than the final product (if only because, as she puts it, "Peter Parker needs to marry a spider to death").

* ShoutOut: [[https://youtu.be/fufMS8Mzdiw "The Return of Channel Awesome's Demo Reel"]] features multiple references to ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', as the video uses the series to understand the history of ''WebVideo/NostalgiaCritic'', and the video's thumbnail parodies the series.

* UncertainAudience: [[invoked]] Of the many questions Emily brings up regarding the Nostalgia Critic's clipless reviews, the most pertinent one is "Who are these videos made for?" She notes that, by filming low-budget remakes of movies he's reviewing instead of showing clips from the original movie to riff on, the videos fall onto a double-edged sword: viewers who haven't seen the original movies will have no idea what he's talking about and won't get the jokes because of that, viewers who ''have'' seen the original will be put off by the flagrant liberties Doug Walker takes with the source material, and both groups will dislike the videos in general just because of their embarrassingly low production values.

->''"At one point this might've been Doug Walker's magnum opus, but at this point everyone has rejected it, so who cares if he ruins everything, kills everyone, and just stops it? Sure, there are some people who are fans of ''DemoReel'' to this day who were upset by this ending, but... why should Doug care? In his eyes, all he can see is the massive amount of backlash people gave him, so why give them a respectful ending?"''

* TakeThatAudience: Her analysis of ''Demo Reel'''s ending and the general direction of the Nostalgia Critic reviews that came afterwards comes to this conclusion. She feels that any time the show addresses how things have changed over time it's always the belief that it's for the better, and that the detractors simply don't like change instead of having legitimate criticisms regarding his work.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG9fr-NSOwaE65w092RO_AA Lady Emily]] is a video essayist who analyzes various works of pop culture. She is a co-writer for her friend and fellow video essayist WebVideo/SarahZ. Eventually, she began creating videos of her own, starting with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFIlUa6WYuM The Failure of Channel Awesome's Demo Reel]]. Her first video was very successful, launching her channel into popularity.

* SoBadItsGood:[[invoked]] Emily is fascinated by terrible content, such as ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark'', and her video on it argues that in some ways the arguably worse version of the musical was also far more interesting than the final product (if only because, as she puts it, "Arachne must marry Peter Parker to death").

* SympathyForTheDevil: While she points out that Creator/DougWalker is a bad person who ignores the horrible treatment of his employees and coworkers, she almost feels bad for the many failures in his career and even bashes his fans for putting him in this position.

* AuthorAppeal: She made multiple videos about awful works such as ''WebVideo/DemoReel'' and ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark'' because she is interested in analyzing [[BileFascination terrible media]][[invoked]].

** In [[https://youtu.be/UPVYwnW4jj4 "The Many Adaptations of Berserk"]], she discusses which adaptations of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' are worth watching. At the start, she quickly answers that the manga is the best way to enjoy the series, going to credits and pretending the video is over before talking about the series’s other adaptations.

* CallBack: [[https://youtu.be/fufMS8Mzdiw "The Return of Channel Awesome's Demo Reel"]] features many references to her previous video about ''WebVideo/DemoReel''.

* {{Narcissist}}: She argues that Doug Walker is an entitled narcissist who always thinks his opinion is right and constantly looks down on others.

* SoBadItsGood:[[invoked]] Emily is fascinated by terrible content, and multiple videos focus on hilariously bad pieces of media such as ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark''.
* TheStinger: After the main portion of [[https://youtu.be/fufMS8Mzdiw "The Return of Channel Awesome's Demo Reel"]] is seemingly over and Emily does a sponsorship and shows her list of patrons like she does at the end of most of her videos, she then goes over what happened at the end of the ''Demo Reel'' reboot. The realization that the reboot ended just like her previous video on the series caused her to start laughing maniacally.

* SympathyForTheDevil: While she points out that Creator/DougWalker is a bad person who ignores the horrible treatment of his employees and coworkers, she almost feels bad for the many failures in his career and even bashes his fans for putting him in this position.
* TakeThat: Her videos are filled with criticisms towards and jokes about Creator/DougWalker.

* SeasonalRot:[[invoked]] In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmC5Zte5RnM A Deep Dive Into The Cinemassacre Backlash]], she discusses the decline in quality of WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel[[invoked]]: While she heavily panned ''WebVideo/DemoReel'', she legitimately liked its reboot special, which she thought improved on the original in every way and is one of the best content ever created by ''WebVideo/ChannelAwesome''.
