* CultureChopSuey: During his ''Series/FamilyMatters'' Disney World review, he wonders why Winnie-the-Pooh is dressed as a [[CanadaEh Mountie]] in the ''Italian'' Pavilion of Epcot, which then leads him to wonder why a ''British'' character is even dressing like a Canadian in the first place.

--->'''Jerk:''' Was it this hard to find an expensive restaurant in ''Disney World?!'' The freaking churros have installment plans!

** "Maybe they should have done [the bears outside Rushin' River Outfitters] in CGI. Even that would have been better than..." (the poster from ''Film/YogiBear'' suddenly flashes on screen with suspenseful music) "...'''GAAAAAAH NO IT WOULDN'T NO IT WOULDN'T NO IT WOULDN'T GET IT OFF THE SCREEN'''!!!"

* RightHandCat: Michael Eisner, as portrayed by Jerk, has one as a Bond villain parody, named [[Creator/JeffreyKatzenberg Jeffrey Kittykatzenberg]]. ("Played" by a [[WesternAnimation/TheAristocats Marie]] plush.) During the DCA review he accidentally tosses it into his fireplace, and in the ''Full House'' review he's forced to eat it.

** The ''Star Tours'' review was The Wire's dream within Jerk's dream within Spazz's dream within [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Heffer]]'s dream within [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa]]'s dream within North's dream within Jerk's dream within [[Film/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]]'s dream within Music/MichaelJackson's mind.

* EditedForSyndication: [[invoked]] ''Film/BackToTheFuture'''s television edit where Marty says "we turn into jerks" instead of "we turn into assholes" is parodied in the first PreviouslyOn segment of the episode.

* OverlyPrePreparedGag: His discussion with himself about the nature of time travel in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' and about how physicists have more or less agreed that any changes to the past will always correct itself, all of which turns out to be an elaborate set up for a "Pair of Docs" pun.

His [=YouTube=] channel also includes two other series: ''WebVideo/OneMovieLater'' and ''State of the Parks''. ''One Movie Later'' features Tony (and friends) viewing a theme-park-themed or -related movie, reviewing it, and finishing the video with the segment "What's The Attraction?", where they pitch absurd ideas to represent the film in theme parks. "State of the Parks" is an analysis and opinion series about new changes to theme parks once they are announced, although by the time they're finished and uploaded, the changes are sometimes completed.

** His three-part review of the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie with the Creator/HorrorGuru and Creator/CountJackula.

* InMemoriam[[invoked]]: As a joke, [[spoiler: Jerk himself]] is memorialized at the end of Part 1 of the ''[[Film/{{The Haunted Mansion}} Haunted Mansion]]'' review (seeing as he's [[spoiler: stabbed by Creator/CountJackula to use Jerk's life insurance as a down payment for the Haunted Mansion, which Jackula and The Horror Guru want to buy]]).

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Jerk will often film scenes in places that are vaguely related to what he's talking about. For example, when he talks about the erasure of racism in ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'', he is standing next to the "Dumbo the Flying Elephant" ride.[[note]]Dumbo has been criticized for its crows, who are [[SpaceJews based on black stereotypes]].[[/note]]

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Season 2 ends with Jerk vowing not to revisit Disneyland after discovering that [[spoiler:the characters are just people in costumes]] and he spends Season 3 reviewing Ride/UniversalStudios attractions, ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'', and ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'' (although he does return to the parks for ''The Haunted Mansion''). [[spoiler:Of course, his vlogs show that he's frequently been to the park during the time Season 3 was filmed regardless.]]

* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: In the review of ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'', Jackula hates the movie but loves the set design and the zombie costumes. He even has a freak-out over the notion that it's all too good for the film.

* PaintingTheMedium[=/=]FunWithSubtitles: When mocking the subtitles at the beginning of Film/TheHauntedMansion, Jackula and Horror Guru get trapped behind the comically-large subtitles.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Jerk, Horror Guru, and Count Jackula mock ''Film/TheHauntedMansion'' for sidestepping the issue of racism in a story centered on the love between a white man and a black woman in 19th century Louisiana.

** In the added opening for the Channel Awesome version of the attraction's review, he talks about how ''Film/CaptainEO'' was revamped into a theater for new Disney movies. He then starts to draw comparisons between ''Captain EO'' and ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', realizing that Captain EO is Starlord's father.

-->'''Jerk:''' Was it this hard to find an expensive restaurant in ''Disney World?!'' The freaking churros have installment plans!

** In the review of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' attraction at Ride/UniversalStudios Hollywood, a theme park actor acts as if Jerk's camera is some strange Muggle device even though cameras, including those that produce moving pictures, are common in the wizarding world. Though to be fair, the cameras wizards use would look very different from anything Jerk uses.

* TheCameo:
** [[WebVideo/RBGProductions Spazzmaster]], [[WebVideo/TheIdiotsLantern The Wire]], and [[WebVideo/WhatWeHadToWatch Il Niege]] all make regular appearances.
** Other cameos have included [[WebVideo/TheBunnyPerspective Phil Buni]], [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]], WebVideo/DiamandaHagan, WebVideo/MikeJ, Creator/CountJackula, WebVideo/TheRosenHacker, [[WebVideo/AnimatedAnalysis Stephan and Nootrac]], MikeyInsanity, and [[spoiler: not one, but TWO separate appearances by Music/WeirdAlYankovic!]].

** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic has made three separate appearances on the show: the ''Back to the Future'' three-parter (bugging Jerk about following Channel Awesome's conventional running gags), the ''Haunted Mansion'' review (where Jerk tries to get him to review the movie again so he won't have to), and the Wizard World of Harry Potter review (where he questions Jerk's "Where's the Fat, Universal?" campaign).
** A montage of Channel Awesome, [=GeekVision=], and Mr. Coat contributors show off their Doc Brown impressions in the ''Back to the Future'' review.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer[[invoked]]: As Jerk reviews the ABC sitcoms that went to Disney World, he quickly finds they make some ''blatant'' errors about the park.
** The ''Full House'' episode has the Tanners meet Donald and Goofy right outside of their hotel when the costumed characters never go that far from the park, outside of paid character breakfasts.
** In ''Family Matters'', Carl's montage of him enjoying the park has him posing for a picture with a slew of costumed characters at once, something Jerk says is next to impossible to attempt.
** In ''Step by Step'', Flash attempts to break the record for fastest time riding every Disney World ride, with his neighbor Mark helping him from the park's control room. While riding the Astro Orbiter, he's advised to not go to Alien Encounter and instead go to the Jungle Cruise because the parade is in progress. Since going to Alien Encounter from Astro Orbiter would ''not'' pass through the parade (since it doesn't go through Tomorrowland) but passing through Fantasyland to the Jungle Cruise ''would'', Jerk concludes Mark must be trying to sabotage him.

** The ''Sabrina'' episode has her and her supporting cast travel from Animal Kingdom to their hotel room four times in one episode, even though the hotel they're at (the Coronado Springs Resort) is 3 miles away from the park. ''Roseanne'' commits a similar error, as the family somehow makes it from their hotel room to Main Street USA in only 14 minutes.
** During his coverage of ''Series/TheGeorgeLopezShow'', a clip plays where Benny claims she rode the Matterhorn ride while pregnant with George. As the safety announcement played every 5 minutes during the line to the ride says, pregnant women are '''heavily''' discouraged from riding the Matterhorn. In the show's defense, however, [[AbusiveParents this IS Benny we're talking about]].

His [=YouTube=] channel also includes two other series: "One Movie Later" and "State of the Parks". "One Movie Later" features Tony (and friends) viewing a theme-park-themed or -related movie, reviewing it, and finishing the video with the segment "What's The Attraction?", where they pitch absurd ideas to represent the film in theme parks. "State of the Parks" is an analysis and opinion series about new changes to theme parks once they are announced, although by the time they're finished and uploaded, the changes are sometimes completed.

* ArtisticLicenseOrnithology: He {{Facepalm}}s at Creator/WillSmith's Genie singing the line "When it comes to exotic type mammals..." while presenting a flock of ostriches during his "One Movie Later" on ''Film/Aladdin2019''.

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
** In his ''WesternAnimation/WonderPark'' One Movie Later, he points out the ridiculousness of naming a film about an amusement park "Amusement Park", which was ''Wonder Park'''s working title.
** Jerk includes one right before describing the Siemens scene in Escape From Tomorrow.

** In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_DgBYlPzA4 One Movie Later]]: {{Film/Cats}}'', Tony and friends' review consists almost entirely of [[spoiler:screaming, uninterrupted, for three and a half minutes.]]

** Every One Movie Later on either a Mary Poppins-themed (''Film/SavingMrBanks'', ''Film/MaryPoppinsReturns'') or Creator/WillSmith (''Film/Aladdin2019'') movie uses DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s performance of "Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious" as the cold open.

* AllDeathsFinal: One of his issues with ''WesternAnimation/ShrekFourD'' is that it violates this rule of the ''{{Franchise/Shrek}}'' franchise. By having Lord Farquaad be the only character to come back to life, in a series where ghosts exist nowhere else, it cheapens the impact of his death. He illustrates how much this would mess with the canon of other films by joking about a ghostly [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]] ([[PunnyName Ghoston]]!) show up and harass Belle and The Prince at their wedding.

** His ''Ride/TheSimpsonsRide'' review slams Universal's lack of identity (most of the licensed properties in its parks are ones it doesn't actually own, and many of the ones it does own are totally unfamiliar to today's kids), ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' and its "abuse is romantic" message, as well as his irritation at the Minions completely taking over the [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe franchise they emerged from]], as well as the park itself.

** The tourism [[OurSloganIsTerrible slogan]] he makes for {{UsefulNotes/Detroit}}: ''[[WretchedHive It's a shithole full of people who steal!]]'' Punctuated by a gunshot.

* OldShame: In a cae where a RealLife example is recontextualized as an in-universe example for the character, the It's A Small World review reveals that Jerk regrets [[spoiler:a "It's A Small World" song parody he had written years earlier.]]

** In his "Harry Potter at Universal Studios" video, there's a RunningGag in which Luke Ski pops into the screen and says he enjoys widely hated things, including ''{{Film/Pixels}}'' and ''Film/Cars2''. However, [[EveryoneHasStandards he refuses to say he likes Florida.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: Uncle Paul says that the only way to defeat [[Ride/ItsASmallWorld an annoying song]] is with an even more annoying song, forcing Jerk to break out his InUniverse OldShame Small World parody.

* NobodysThatDumb: In the [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney California Adventure]] retrospective, Jerk depicts Buzz Lightyear and Goofy arguing over whether the new park needs their presence or not.

* OldShame[[invoked]]: In an example where a RealLife example is recontextualized as an in-universe example for the character, the It's A Small World review reveals that Jerk regrets [[spoiler:a "It's A Small World" song parody he had written years earlier.]]

* StreisandEffect: InUniverse example. This is what Jerk says would have happened if Disney had attempted to suppress ''Film/EscapeFromTomorrow'', and why it was wise that they didn't try to do so.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously[[invoked]]: InUniverse.
--> '''[=SJWAC=]''': (upon seeing Creator/ChristopherWalken in ''Country Bears'') Look, he still thinks he's in a movie.

--> '''SJWAC''': It's a cutting edge ride, that raises the bar higher than a fat guy trying to squeeze into the seat- okay, who wrote that?

--> '''SJWAC:''' Not cool! You know, I'm too fat to go on the Dragon Challenge coaster, and I'm almost too fat for Forbidden Journey. I just barely made it. I didn't think I'd be able to at first, I had a panic attack. I think [[BlackComedyCannibalism I ate a couple of people]], but don't worry, I forgive myself. You know it's kind of disgusting how many rides at Universal have those kinds of test seats. And it's not just a fat thing, huge muscular dudes can't ride either, probably. Don't humongoloids and fat sacks of crap deserve their thrills too? It's not like they're ''({{beat}})'' short. Like you. And further more,...

--> '''SJWAC''': I mean [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hagrid]] couldn't ride this, but Voldemort could no problem. Is that the kind of wizarding world you want to live in? I'm taking a stand for this-''("Fat" by Weird Al starts)'' Stop this music, this is serious! ''(takes a bite of his churro and [[ItMakesSenseInContext hamfist]])''

* UncannyValley: [[invoked]]His opinion of the bears in ''Film/TheCountryBears''. They look "just real enough to look totally fake. And kind of scary."
