** While reviewing WesternAnimation/TheLittlePandaFighter, he calls it a blatant copy of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''... and shows the cover for [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Mists of Pandaria]].

* MST3KMantra: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Yotobi in the aforementioned crossover review of a borderline–homemade ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' film.

* ShownTheirWork: Aside from Yotobi’s own knowledge of how cinema works, there’s his partner in the crossover review of an obscure ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' LiveActionAdaptation made in [[TheSixties 1969]]. Said partner, another Italian internet reviewer (known as ''iltizioqualunque''; “il tizio qualunque” means, more or less, “the everyman”), has an ''astonishing'' knowledge of the Spidey mythos.

** In ''The Sisterhood'', the main character’s telekinesis is used… to apparently glow in a column of light and glitter. Cue a jab at ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' and [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Edward Cullen]].

** In his review of ''Film/ThePumaman'' he first likens Tony’s [[CannotSpitItOut inability to talk with anyone else]] to ''{{Series/Lost}}'', then, after the umpteenth time he does this, he blurts out that 'this is ''not'' like ''{{Series/Lost}}'', this '''is''' ''{{Series/Lost}}''!' Cue [[TalkingToHimself a reenactment of a scene from said TV show]].

* SoundtrackDissonance: In his ''Film/ThePumaman'' review, he remarks that the score is more appropriate for a soy product [[ActingForTwo and he]] [[TalkingToHimself demonstrates it]].

Yotobi, Karim Musa’s alias, is an [[{{UsefulNotes/Italy}} Italian]] internet reviewer, and he’s pretty much ''the'' go–to online CausticCritic when it comes to this kind of VideoReviewShow among the Italian audience.

* NoPronunciationGuide: In his review of ''Film/SharkAttack3Megalodon'' Yotobi keeps mispronuncing Megalodon, uncertain between [=MegaloDOn=] [=and MegaLOdon=].

** During his review of Dingo Picture's ''Hercules'', he recognizes the black bird as the same one from ''Animation/DinosaurAdventure'' and immediately starts to shoot it with a toy gun, causing the [[VideoGame/DuckHunt dog from Duck Hunt]] to make a cameo to laugh at his efforts.

--> '''Yotobi:''':''Well, compared to ''Animation/DinosaurAdventure'' the dub seems improved.(Hears Dyonisus talk) [[{{Beat}} ...]] why? [[LampshadeHanging Why I can't just shut up?]]".''

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Invoked during his review of Dingo Picture's ''Animation/DinosaurAdventure'' when the "cannibal" dinosaurs appear.

** His first 2013 review, ''[=AlbaKiara=]''[[note]]Named after “Albachiara” (“Bright Dawn”), a song by Italian singer Vasco Rossi; the movie’s soundtrack only features songs from him[[/note]], is about a movie that truly [[UpToEleven raises the stakes]] about teenage sluttiness. [[BewareTheNiceOnes So do Yotobi’s reactions to it.]]

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: As is the case for any [[LargeHam hammy]] online reviewer who [[MundaneMadeAwesome makes a big deal]] out of a movie’s [[AccentuateTheNegative flaw]], Yotobi’s reviews can be told apart from each other by their openings. One review in particular, the one for the Italian movie ''Troppo Belli'' (“Too handsome”), opens with him ''sobbing in a corner'', a treatment he didn’t reserve even for the Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg movies he reviewed. Yeah, you've read that right. [[UpToEleven There are movies that are even worse.]] The movie’s infamy is common knowledge in Italy, to the point that when Yotobi begs [[TheCameo other Italian internet reviewers]], they [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere don’t even want to have anything to do with it.]]

** That was [[UpToEleven topped]] by ''[=AlbaKiara=]'', which begins with him [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown apologizing]] to a Mario doll.

** During his review of Dingo Picture's ''Hercules'', he recognizes the black bird as the same one from ''Dinosaur Adventure'' and immediately starts to shoot it with a toy gun, causing the [[VideoGame/DuckHunt dog from Duck Hunt]] to make a cameo to laugh at his efforts.

--> '''Yotobi:''':''Well, compared to ''Dinosaur Adventure'' the dub seems improved.(Hears Dyonisus talk) [[{{Beat}} ...]] why? [[LampshadeHanging Why I can't just shut up?]]".''

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Invoked during his review of Dingo Picture's ''Dinosaur Adventure'' when the "cannibal" dinosaurs appear.

* RantInducingSlight: ''Troppo Belli'', aside from being a flat, uninteresting movie, generates one because it has, as lead “actors,” two guys with no acting training whatsoever who were chosen only based on their looks.
--> '''''This''' is why Italy is falling apart!''

** In ''The Sisterhood'', the main character’s telekinesis is used… to apparently glow in a column of light and glitter. Cue a jab at MyLittlePony and [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Edward Cullen]].

* StunnedSilence: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkWmO7qYOy0#t=7m35s this]] moment of his ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' LP.

* SoundtrackDissonance: In his ''Film/PumaMan'' review, he remarks that the score is more appropriate for a soy product [[ActingForTwo and he]] [[TalkingToHimself demonstrates it]].

** At the end of his ''Film/PumaMan'' review [[spoiler: he reenacts Tony’s ridiculous flight scene]].

** In his review of ''Film/PumaMan'' he first likens Tony’s [[CannotSpitItOut inability to talk with anyone else]] to ''{{Series/Lost}}'', then, after the umpteenth time he does this, he blurts out that 'this is ''not'' like ''{{Series/Lost}}'', this '''is''' ''{{Series/Lost}}''!' Cue [[TalkingToHimself a reenactment of a scene from said TV show]].

** During his review of ''Film/{{Sharknado}}'', he get's so angry he tries to vent his frustration on Mario's doll just like he did in the review of ''[=AlbaKiara=]''... only to find that this time, he hired bodyguards (plushies of [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime Jack]] and [[Franchise/LegendOfZelda Link]]).

--> ''“Well, I have no choice but to swap every shot of the spiders with superimposed cute kittens. ''[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments (cut to the edited scene)]]'' Muuuuuch better.”''

--> ''"Oh, come on! That's your reaction to breasts? Are you sure she wasn't like this?" (the scene plays again, only with the close up of an incredibly fat, hairy man with man boobs)''

--> '''Yotobi's Girlfriend''': [[{{Adorkable}} (hides behind her teddy bear with a shocked face]])

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: InvokedTrope
** In Dingo Pictures' ''Hercules'', when Era claims that Hercules is just [[DumbMuscle a brainless muscleman]], but Aphrodite and Europa claim that "when someone's so handsome he doesn't need brains":
--> ''“[[SarcasmMode Yaaay... did you hear that children? Do not waste time studying!]] Just become big like [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] and life will smile to you! Damn right!"''
** The scene in [=AlbaKiara=] when the protagonists and her friends are discussing on how to make fine blowjobs:
--> ''(pretending to write down) "Uh-uh... interesting... anything else you can teach to girls on how to become a [[PrecisionFStrike bitch?]]"''
** He similarly criticise ''The Little Panda Fighter'' ("If you want to impress a woman, lie as much as you can!") and ''Ratatoing'''s endings ("Stealing is the way through life!")

--> ''“That’s a [[PowerRangers Megazord!]] '''That’s a Megazord!''' [[LargeHam Can’t — contain —]] '''[[ChewingTheScenery the awesomeness!]]''' ''(cut to a montage of that scene, [[RunningGag with the infamous Japanese Tanuki commercial thrown in the mix]])'' Superheroes with super problems, nothing! The answer is a [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] Megazord! Everything would be better with a Megazord! Everything! Except for ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', but everything else!”''

* BerserkButton: This guy ''loathes'' everything ever made by Creator/TheAsylum. Imagine how much he loved doing a review comprised entirely of Asylum movies, while earlier he also expressed his contempt for Uwe Boll. He also dislikes DullSurprise and lack of "human reaction" in general as a trope.

** He starts the review of ''[[Creator/DingoPictures Dingo Pictures' Hercules]]'' seemingly trashtalking [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Disney's Hercules]]''... before asking the viewers if they really fell for it and start telling how much he loved it and the licensed game.

However, we were talking about the stuff he reviews. Yep, sucky stuff. How sucky, you ask? Well, so far he has reviewed ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing'', [[VideoGame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial the infamous]] ''[[VideoGame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]]'' [[VideoGame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial video game]], ''[[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Epic Movie]]'' '''and''' ''[[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Disaster Movie]]'', ''{{Film/Birdemic}}'', ''Film/MegaSharkVsGiantOctopus'', ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate''… the list goes on. [[SnarkBait You can pretty much guess where this is going.]]

'''Yotobi''', Karim Musa’s alias, is an [[{{UsefulNotes/Italy}} Italian]] internet reviewer, and he’s pretty much ''the'' go–to online CausticCritic when it comes to this kind of VideoReviewShow among the Italian audience.

His style is, more or less, the one popularized with ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' and ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'', as he reviews both [[{{Horrible/VideoGames}} sucky video games]] and (especially) [[{{Horrible/Film}} just as sucky movies.]] However, his style [[GrowingTheBeard evolved soon enough into something more unique]], which is most likely helped by the “Universal Squallor” logo pictured above standing for an actual studio. Said studio was never actually meant to be ''entirely'' about reviews in the first place. [[WordOfGod Yotobi himself said so.]]

* BrickJoke[=/=]TemptingFate: One of his RunningGags is pretending to have a stroke after watching “trash scenes.” In his review of ''Film/RikiOhTheStoryOfRicky'', it really happens.

* RelaxOVision: Used in the review for Japanese ''[[Series/SpiderManJapan Spider—Man]]'' due to his arachnophobia, and again in the teenage—sluttiness—related ''[=AlbaKiara=]'' movie. In the former, all [[GrossUpCloseUp close–ups on spiders]] are replaced with [[EverythingsCuterWithKittens cute kittens]]; in the latter, sex scenes are replaced with [[FanDisservice dogs licking their nuts]] (it’s pretty much PlayedForLaughs).

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Has to be restrained and persuaded to continue upon learning that the CreepyChild from ''Film/BurialGroundTheNightsOfTerror'' is actually a 30 years actor. Upon witnessing the breast-biting scene he's so fed up he actually leaves and refuses to end his review.

--> ''"Of course, each actor plays a very specific character, we have the idiot, the idiot, [[RuleOfThree the idiot]], the idiot and Guglielmo."

* NoPronunciationGuide: In his review of ''Film/SharkAttack3Megalodon'' Yotobi keeps mispronuncing Megalodon, uncertain between MegaloDOn and MegaLOdon.

--> ''“In 1978, a live–action ''SpiderMan'' series [[AudienceAlienatingPremise set in Japan]] called “[[Series/SpiderManJapan Supaidāman]]” was made. Created by [[Creator/ToeiCompany Toei]], it comprises 41 episodes and a [[TheMovie movie]]. We’ll be watching [[{{Pilot}} the very first episode]] together. And believe me when I say that all my expectations for this show were demolished. In a good way, of course.”''
