Microwave Society is a reaction channel on Platform/YouTube hosted by Jude Howard, Josiah Brown, and Brendan "Bren" Willoughby. Originally starting out as a gaming channel, they transitioned into a humorous film commentary channel where they watch movies either from their childhood, [[TheMockbuster ripoffs]], or just plain weird videos and films. Occasionally, they'll do videos where they do challenges and projects.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Jude, who's utterly despondent and unimpressed throughout basically the whole of the ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' video, admits that the 'oversized pen that requires two hands' gag is actually really funny.
-->'''Jude''': That, ''that'' is funny. Hey, look, we did something! You got me to laugh, movie, wow! The prop department made me laugh!
* {{Animorphism}}: Josiah pokes fun at [[Film/{{Shorts}} Helvetica]]'s wish to turn into a giant wasp by turning into a "giant bug" himself... which is to say, he [[StylisticSuck turns into a pixelated png of a bee, white background and all]].
* AuthorAppeal: NuMetal and AlternativeMetal in general, with the guys (particularly Jude) often making references to bands like Music/LimpBizkit, Music/{{Korn}}, and especially Music/SystemOfADown.
* BigShutUp: All three of the guys give these out from time to time, though Josiah lets out a pretty mighty one as a response to the "I'm An Alien" twist in ''[[Film/WeCanBeHeroes2020 We Can Be Heroes]]''.
* BreakingOldTrends: While most of the videos were recorded over Discord, with the guys reacting in separate rooms and on separate video feeds, some videos instead saw them watching the film/video in question on a couch. As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzsC6l8z0bg Home Alone 2 is Peak Christmas Movie]], this has become the commentary videos' standard format.
* BrokenRecord: "Did you know that Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory is the only factory in the world that mixes its chocolate by waterfall?", repeated by Bren thoughout the ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' video.
* BuffySpeak: Exaggerated in the [=JerryVFX=] video; Teacomfy explains how helicopters generate lift and fly but doesn't even bother to refer to the main propellor and tail propellor by vaguely-descriptive names, instead just calling them the "OOOOOOOH" and the "AAAAAAH" respectively.

* DreadfulMusician: In actuality, the guys are actually fairly-skilled musicians, though they play this role from time to time.
** In the video on training videos, a mention of "the hizzy" prompts Josiah to sing an off-key piano ballad about buying video games. It's so bad that Jude stops the video so he can repent and pray for him.
** In the video on Film/HighSchoolMusical, the video opens on a cutaway gag of Bren introducing himself as "Musical" before proceeding to play the opening section of "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" fairly well... only to scream and slam on his piano.
* FantasticRacism: Josiah's reaction to the "Yes, but you're blue" line in ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''; "Hey, there's no blue children in ''my'' house!"
* FauxHorrific: In the ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins'' video, the guys absolutely freak out and scream when [[TheFaceless Grandmum]]'s mouth briefly moves into frame.
* FormulaWithATwist: The reaction to ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' is mostly just a regular reaction video intercut with [[CutawayGag cutaway gags]] and skits; the first of which has Jude travelling to Josiah's house to get a hard drive containing a vocal track for a song, and the latter seeing the guys breaking up before reconvening through ThePowerOfFriendship.
* GirlfriendInCanada: Jude parodies this in the ''Film/{{Zathura}}'' video;
-->'''Josiah''': Jude, how did you get so mean...?\\
'''Jude''': I'm a college dropout! I have a... girlfriend!\\
'''Bren''': No you don't.\\
'''Jude''': You don't know her, she goes to a different [=YouTube=] channel.
* HalloweenEpisode: The reaction to ''WesternAnimation/MonsterHouse'' was uploaded on Halloween and referred to in the video itself as 'the Halloween special', with the guys even dressing up for the occasion; Jude wears a Groucho Marx mask (which he takes off not even a minute in since it's hurting his nose) and calls himself Eddy Burback; Bren comes dressed as 'the Music/BlueManGroup' (which is to say he just puts on a blue, full-body morphsuit), and Josiah claims to be a house (he has no costume at all).
* LamePunReaction:
** The various "leaving the set" gags are generally a result of this.
** In the ''High School Musical'' video, Bren making a "I hardly know 'er!" joke prompts Jude to leave the group.
** In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Barnyard}}'' video, when the film reaches the chicken coop scene;

'''Jude''': [[FullNameUltimatum Brendan]].\\
[Jude and Bren stare at each other in dead silence for a few seconds]\\
'''Bren''': It was funny.
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "They call it an X because it's an X; they don't call it a Y because it's not in fact a Y."
* MetalScream: Jude pulls one off in the video on ''Film/SharkboyAndLavagirl''; "LAVAGIRL, LOOK BEHIND YOU! RAAAAAAAA-!"
* NoYou: All the time.
-->'''Josiah''': They made a... shape layer in After Effects and put a gradient on it...\\
'''Bren''': You're a shape layer in After Effects with a gradient on it.\\
'''Josiah''': [as a shape layer in After Effects with a gradient] I will embrace this.
* OverlyLongGag:
** The minute-long bit of the guys debating how the Velocipods from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' would actually function.
** In the video on ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012 The Lorax]]'', Josiah holds a strained "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" for 15 seconds straight (edited down; if Bren is to be taken literally he actually did it for ''a whole minute'').
** In the DIY video, the guys come across a video showing a "quick and easy" way of decorating a cake... which goes on for ''20 minutes'' because the groom in the video keeps halting things to re-explain what he's about to do. The particular upload they watch is a 5-minute edit, and in the video itself it's cut down even further, but it's still just as frustrating.
-->'''Groom''': This is the moment, right? This is the moment!\\
'''Bride''': This is our wedding cake!\\
'''Bren''': It's been the moment for ''12 minutes'', DO ANYTHING!
* {{Pixellation}}: Played for laughs in ''How much water is too much water?'', where Bren's feet are censored after he loses a sandal.
* PowerTrio: Jude, Bren and Josiah.
* ARareSentence: In a short, Bren comes across a packet of Jujyfruits with a flavour called 'anise' (which he pronounces as "anus" for RuleOfFunny), which leads to...
-->'''Bren''': I wanna look up what anus is... which is a sentence I have ''never'' said.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: In the [=JerryVFX=] video, the guys come across a design for a parking garage that lifts cars up onto a wall by their rear bumper. Teacomfy points out that it'd be impractical, but as for why specifically...
-->'''Teacomfy''': ...but all the blood would rush to the car's head and then it would pass out!\\
[Bren bursts out laughing]
* RunningGag:
** Josiah pointing out film effects and cases of SpecialEffectsFailure (and how they could easily be rectified).
** "Woah! X with no Y!"
** "KANSAS!" [usually accompanied by a gif of Jude spinning in place]
** Someone leaving the set for whatever reason. Usually done by Jude.
** The "I hardly know her!" joke crops up from time to time.
** In the DIY video, a video that just consists of someone turning something into a planter by pouring cement all over it.
* SelfDeprecation: In the ''Zathura'' video, all of the guys react to the film's first NameDrop by repeatedly saying "The name of the movie! Which is Zathuuura!" out of sync, which culminates in Jude going "We're so annoying!"
* SensoryAbuse: Of the Aural Invasion variety, multiple times over.
** The guys have a habit of imitiating ride operators by blowing out their microphones and screaming "HAVE A GREAT DAY AT KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGSS ISLAND!" into them.
** Jude and Bren imitating a rocket launch in the video on ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', and raptors in the reaction to ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything''.
* SexualEuphemism: In the WesternAnimation/BarbieFairytopia video, Josiah exclaims that he wants someone to "suck the magic out of [him]".
* ShoutOut:
** In the ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' video, when it cuts to the shot of the mountain, Bren exclaims "[[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Welcome to the Himalayas! Snowcone?]]".
** Bren refers to Thomas repeating "Hello?" into the drive-thru speaker at a Burger King's as him "[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1 phone guy]]"-ing the operator.
* SigningOffCatchphrase: "Have a day!"
** Conversely, they also have a signing-''on'' catchphrase;

'''Bren''': Welcome to [work]. My name is Microwave...\\

* VoodooShark: In the ''Zathura'' video, the concept of Walter and Danny living in a house in space completely fine prompts Jude to throw around the idea of a similar situation, just living in space and eating mac n cheese every day. When Bren questions how he'd get groceries, Jude just goes "Well, I'd just Doordash!", which prompts Bren to go on a screaming tirade questioning the logistics of sending a rocket up into space every day to deliver someone Arby's.
* WouldRatherSuffer: In the video on ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'', Bren says that he'd rather be "hurtling to [his] death in a caboose than even think about drinking La Croix".
