History WebVideo / TheMarkRemark

** When Wrestling/DanielBryan announced his (first) retirement covering WWE RAW 4/27/15 through Smackdown 5/14/15, Martin didn't want to make fun of it directly, as it was a genuinely depressing moment. Instead, he has his spouse Creator/MarinMiller reenact Bryan's retirement speech...which had Marin using a Daniel Bryan action figure to [[InelegantBlubbering do his "Yes" chant while crying]].

* OhCrap: Martin's reaction after Daniel Bryan had been eliminated from the Royal Rumble, meaning that it was a guarantee that Roman Reigns would win.

** In the Royal Rumble 2017 episode, he just wanders around the opening titles and complains that he didn't get to go on a trip this time.

* OverusedRunningGag: After making the umpteeth variation of Seto Kaiba's CatchPhrase from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', Martin was ashamed he'd been stretching that out for the past ten years.

'''Martin:''' Ah yes, that bear attack early in the movie? Despite what you might believe having seen it, the bear actually wins and kills [=DeCaprio=]'s character. That explains why there's another 90 minutes of film after that, where the bear just goes home and tends to its young. It's [[BlatantLies a huge plot twist, it turns out it's just a nature documentary]].

* RapidFireComedy: He packs a lot of jokes into each episode.

** When a crowd shot shows that Creator/TeamFourStar was in attendance, he also points himself out, calling himself "a bald twat who fancies himself."

* TheScream: In the Wrestling/SummerSlam 2016 review, when Martin points out that they're going to be ''19'' pay-per-view events a year by the WWE.
-->'''Martin''': In other words: '''''AAAAAAAAAA--'''''
* TheTalk: Was worried that Wrestling/RicFlair was going to tell the audience about the birds and the bees.

* {{Unperson}}: In-universe, Martin considers Zack Ryder this.

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The 12/5-6/16 episode has him call out Wrestling/DavidOtunga for overusing the word "literally" when talking about Kalisto's match with Baron Corbin at ''TLC 2016''.

* AuthorAppeal: He absolutely adores [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} PAIGE~]]. But after her first suspension, she became a BrokenPedestal; so Martin decides to go for Wrestling/{{Naomi}} instead. He still pays tribute to Paige going into early retirement after a CareerEndingInjury during the Wrestlemania 34 recap.

** Many episodes occasionally call himself out for using references as a substitute for humor while making ''WebVideo/YuGiohTheAbridgedSeries''.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Roman Reigns quips that the boos he's getting that there are "ghosts in the crowd," which got a brief chuckle out of Martin, admitting it was a pretty good joke.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Nikki Bella once said a glass of milk would do something better than Paige, which prompted Martin to make the glass of milk his favorite wrestler.

* NonIndicativeName: He considers the [[FinishingMove Finishers]] these, as they're supposed to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin finish the wrestling match]], but wrestlers keep kicking out before the three count after they're used. He suggests calling them "nearlies" as the moves used "nearly" end the match nowadays.

** On top of the Wrestlemania 33 episode seeing Martin take a trip to Shanghai Disney, he then gets stuck in customs according to the subtitles during the recap portion of the tag-team match between John Cena and Nikki Bella vs. Miz and Maryse. During that time, he has an automatically generated set of jokes while the match goes on until he returns, out of breath.

'''Paige:''' Paige here~\\
'''Martin:''' ''[[JumpScare Jesus-]]''

** WWE's insistence that Wrestling/SashaBanks and Wrestling/{{Charlotte}} are "making history". It's gotten so bad that, in two different episodes, Martin decided he was [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness done caring and did the rest of the Raw segments with little to no enthusiasm.]]

** When Daniel Bryan announced his retirement on an Episode of Raw and Martin had to cover it, he'd rather not make a joke about it. Instead, he has his wife Creator/MarinMiller (who was identifying as female at the video's release), reenact Bryan's retirement speech...which had Marin using a Daniel Bryan action figure to [[InelegantBlubbering do his "Yes" chant while crying]].
--->'''Marin:''' ''(as Daniel Bryan)'' Yes! Yes... ''(drops the Intercontinental Title belt to the ground while crying)''\\

* LetsGetDangerous: Parodied in the episode right before Wrestlemania XXXI, when Martin's wife says that he'll never get the episode out in time for him to leave for the event. He responds that he can and then cocks his fist the way Roman Reigns does. She then swats him on the head, causing him to start sobbing.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Many people in the comments' section have referred to Martin as 'Mark' (likely misunderstanding the '[[TheCon Mark]]' in the title as a name). He helped his audience out by overlaying his name in fullscreen letters on the Royal Rumble '17 video.

* AuthorAppeal: He absolutely adores [[Wrestling/{{Paige}} PAIGE~]]. But after her suspending, she became a BrokenPedestal; so Martin decides to go for Wrestling/{{Naomi}} instead.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: After the Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker match in Hell In A Cell 2015, Martin tells the audience to clap their hands for Undertaker to pick himself up from the ring.

* EldritchAbomination: Hell In A Cell 2015 has Martin describing John Cena as really being John Ce-Nyarlathotep who will destroy all of humanity except for the Cenation.

* HypocriticalHumor: Martin complains about Booker not paying attention to the Divas matches, when Martin makes a running gag of skipping them.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: One Diva said a glass of milk would do something better than one of her rivals, and Martin made the glass of milk his favorite wrestler.
--->"Glass of milk! Glass of milk!"

* PottyEmergency: His first few episodes had him not talking about the women's matches because he has to pee every time. He later drops the pretense and makes it clear he hates these matches basically being used to promote for ''Series/TotalDivas''.

--> "Hey, JBL. How do you say 'go fuck yourself' in Spanish? 'Sin Cara'? Thought so."

** Vince McMahon sometimes appears in Martin's videos, usually off-screen (played by [=Takahata101=] again).

* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: On the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrvZPEPeegY&t=10m09s On the 5/5/15 episode]]:
-->'''Martin''': ''(talking about Ziggler vs. Rollins for the title on RAW)'' A match, much like the ''Star Wars'' prequels, is robbed of all of its tension, as ''(a cat jumps on him from behind)'' there's a cat on my back. ''({{Beat}})'' Go away.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb0iseAqkwA&list=PL6uc4ysWFvKrNd_kvcBuDX7K8TioAQhWU&index=56 twelfth Episode of Desert Island Decks]], where Martin does the Episode under his "Mark Remark" persona, where he opens a random ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card pack, while still making Wrestling jokes and references.

* MsFanservice: Martin is just in love with {{Wrestling/Paige}}. When she's forced to wear a tutu, Martin still thinks she's hot.
-->"I didn't even know I had that {{fetish}}."

-->"Glass of milk! Glass of milk!"

* SelfDeprecation: He believes ''he'' was a better choice to win the 2015 Royal Rumble.
-->'''Martin''': And I'm ''shit''!

* TakeThat: Given the often underwhelming presentation of the shows, these tend to be thrown at the WWE.
--> "Hello my fellow Marks, and welcome ''(wincing)'' to intense pain and suffering... [[MoodWhiplash also known as the WWE product]]!"

** "He's the son of god, he performs unlikely miracles, and his initials are [[UsefulNotes/Jesus JC]]. That's right, I'm talking about Wrestling/JohnCena!"

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Invoked when referring to Seth Rollings' HeelFaceTurn, and how he was trying to rebuild a burnt bridge with Dean Ambrose, which fits his "Architect" title. When he realizes it made too much sense as a metaphor, he revises the statement to "He's called the architect because he hurt his knee" which fits the WWE commentator's random comparisons.

-->'''Martin''': It turns out "Sin Cara" is Spanish for "[[EpicFail Oops, I fucked up, let me try that again]]."

* {{Retool}}: A smaller one; originally the Mark Remark was a weekly recap show covering the highlights of Raw and Smackdown along with the pay-per-views. After getting behind on the reviews due to real life issues, Little Kuriboh decided to change it up to being a monthly show, recapping of the previous month's PPV.

--> "Hello my fellow Marks, and welcome (''wincing'') to intense pain and suffering... [[MoodWhiplash also known as the WWE product]]!"

* AdaptationalWimp: Every single joke about Tom Phillips is done InTheStyleOf discussing him as though he's a small, needy, wimpy little child.

** Scott Steiner (as played by Creator/Takahata101) appears in the opening of the second "Wrestlemania XXXI" video to sing The Star-Spangled Banner. Steiner's blithering insanity is second only to Wrestling/TheIronSheik, so he ends the song on a drunken, curse laden ramble.

** Lani and Taka return as themselves in the WM32 recap, apparently ready to incite a riot due to waiting outside for hours with Lani even starting a "let us in" chant.

* DudeNotFunny: Martin does this to himself InUniverse. An announcer calls a guy "a zombie Wrestling/EddieGuerrero", and Martin is shocked at the tacky way the late wrestler's name was invoked. Then he tries to make a joke about a zombie Eddie Guerrero, but can't bring himself to finish it.

* JumpScare: Parodied with Wrestling/ErickRowan talking a long time to do his promos, with extremely long pauses, causing Martin to startle every time Erick finally moves on to the next line.

* LetsGetDangerous: Parodied in the episode right before Wrestlemania XXXI, when Martin's wife says that he'll never get the episode out in time for him to leave for the event. He responds that he can and then cocks his fist the way Roman Reins does. She then swats him on the head, causing him to start sobbing.

** Happens on the 3/2/15-3/5/15 show when he realizes that instead of stealing the Intercontinental Title, he stole the US Title, and then remembers who the current [[Wrestling/AlexanderRusev champion]] is.

* SigningOffCatchPhrase: It lasted just a few videos, but he ended them with "Toodle-pip!".

--> "Hello my fellow Marks, and welcome (wincing) to intense pain and suffering... also known as the WWE product!"

...Aaannyway.

[[CurseCutShort MOTHER FU-]]

* FilkSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PknxpsLf0BU "Do You Want To Job To Roman?"]] (a wrestling-based spoof of "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" from ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'')

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The "Mark My Words" videos are him giving genuine thoughts, criticisms, and analysis of the WWE, such as one where he states that Roman Reigns isn't the problem himself but that he's just a symptom of WWE management issues in terms of story planning and who to push and when.

** Subverted on the 3/16/15-3/26/15 episode when one of Jerry Lawler's jokes about having Dolph Ziggler and Stardust tag teaming up to be called Ziggy Stardust [[ActuallyPrettyFunny sounds like a good idea]].
