| 7 | [[folder:169: Marville #1]] |
| 8 | * Linkara's rant regarding the new name of planet Earth. |
| 9 | -->'''Linkara:''' You fools! You've ruined the brand name recognition of Earth! "Earth stays crunchy even in milk!" No one knows anything about "[=AOLon=]!" |
| 10 | * Ted Turner's plan of saving the world from asteroids? "[[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken CAPTAAAIN PLAAANET! CAPTAAAIN PLAAANET!]]" |
| 11 | * Linkara saying that ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' was a show [[TakeThat that lasted ten years too long.]] |
| 12 | * After Linkara realized that the comic's "plot" was beginning to sound like something [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future]] would come up with: |
| 13 | -->'''The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future''': And then in the year 5002, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda sent their infant son of eighteen years back to the present in a time machine made of Playstation 1 parts!\ |
| 14 | '''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Kaiba]]:''' You've been drinking again, haven't you?\ |
| 15 | '''The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future:''' Shut up! You're not the boss of me! |
| 16 | * [[Creator/ChaosD1 ALAN GREENSPAN! DOESN'T! WORK THAT WAY! Wow, that's a new one.]] |
| 17 | * "500 bucks? What the hell show are they going to see? Given this was Marvel, I'd think this was ''Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark''. Buuut, given the humor level of this thing, I think we really know what's really playing in that theater." |
| 18 | -->'''1975 Musical ComicBook/{{Superman}}''': Hi there, America and friendly nations everywhere, glad we could get together. |
| 19 | * Playing [[Series/{{Smallville}} "Save Me"]] over the title card. And the credits, complete with deconstructing the unfunny [[DontExplainTheJoke joke explaining]] from the comic. ("It's funny because I'm using the theme from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' when it has nothing to do with Smallville! LAUGH!") |
| 20 | * Linkara's response when Ted Turner makes a [[TakeThat mean spirited jab]] that Creator/DCComics couldn't make a decent book, clearly based on the writer, Bill Jemas' own opinion. |
| 21 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(visibly pissed)'' [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica JSA]], [[ComicBook/TeenTitans The Titans]], ComicBook/{{Starman}}, [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JSA]] ''(text at the bottom appears saying "JLA, not JSA again")'', ComicBook/{{Batman}}, ComicBook/YoungJustice. But hey, even if clearly mean-spirited jabbing at DC was accurate, they still didn't make ''[[TakeThat Marville]]'', now, did they? |
| 22 | * When the comic mentions the Goodwill Games: |
| 23 | -->'''Linkara:''' Wow, it's a good thing we had that opening expository page to point out that Ted Turner made the Goodwill Games, or else I wouldn't be able to laugh at that! [{{Beat}}] [[SarcasmMode Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.]]" |

| 27 | * Linkara suggesting that Skynet caused Judgment Day after [[TakeThat discovering the existence o]][[{{Sequelitis}} f three live-action]] ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' films. |
| 28 | * This exchange: |
| 29 | -->'''Narration Box:''' She waits. A bird calls out. Then another. Soon it's a chorus. It takes her a full minute to recognize the sound for what it is. And she cries.\ |
| 30 | '''Linkara:''' ''(as the female time traveler)'' [[TakeThat Why? Why are the birds singing]] "[[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas My Humps]]"? |
| 31 | * Linkara imitating Franchise/RoboCop giving the Miranda Rights to the thugs he just killed. |
| 32 | -->'''Linkara (as [=RoboCop=]):''' You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand this?\ |
| 33 | '''Linkara (as dead thug):''' ''(is slumped over, his tongue sticking out)''\ |
| 34 | '''Linkara (as [=RoboCop=]):''' Don't make faces at ''me'', creep; we can use ''that'' against you, too. |
| 35 | * TheStinger. Oh, my god the stinger. Linkara puts great usage of the scene with Franchise/RoboCop going to handle the mayor problem with this exchange: |
| 36 | -->'''Franchise/RoboCop:''' Keep him talking.\ |
| 37 | '''Lt. Hedgecock:''' Okay, Miller! Don't hurt the mayor! We'll give you what you want!\ |
| 38 | ''(cut to [[Film/TheTerminator The T-800]] inside his motel room, going through a list of commands filled with curses)''\ |
| 39 | '''The T-800''': Fuck you, asshole.\ |
| 40 | '''Lt. Hedgecock''': Okay! |
| 41 | [[/folder]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | [[folder:171: Brute Force #3]] |
| 44 | * Saying that all the Doctor's incarnations would defeat the main villain because it looks like Roger Delgado. |
| 45 | * Linkara's impression of the doctor on trial: |
| 46 | -->'''Linkara''':[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext You've got to believe me! The leprechauns told me about this conspiracy that Frost is behind! The same leprechauns who gave me this technology to enhance animals! They told me you'd believe me! They gave me the power to FLYYYY!]] |
| 47 | * Two FBI agents are thinking that Dr. Pierce is innocent. One of them even believes that something is off about Frost. |
| 48 | -->'''FBI Agent #2''': Dare I risk going out of a ''limb'' for Pierce? What's more important -- my job -- or ''the truth?!''\ |
| 49 | '''Linkara''': ''(gesturing his hand toward the bottom of the screen)'' Call this toll-free number to cast ''your'' vote on what's more important.\ |
| 50 | ''(said number reads 1-800-THETRUTHMORON)'' |
| 51 | * When the idiotic member of Fresh Air sarcastically remarks about bringing in Series/TheATeam... |
| 52 | -->'''Linkara (as Creator/MrT):''' Now you listen to me, Hannibal, I ain't workin' with no animals that transform into planes! Those suckas can't be trusted! |
| 53 | * Assessing the failings of the villain's plan, the last point referencing the ''[[Creator/BBVProductions The AirZone Solution]]''. |
| 54 | * "[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Certainly this is a victory for good!]]" |
| 55 | * "Ah yes, the ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' sequel series, ''Swamp What The Hell''." |
| 56 | [[/folder]] |
| 57 | |
| 58 | [[folder:172: 15 Things Wrong With Identity Crisis]] |
| 59 | * Showing us what was going on in Batman's mind as they were mind-wiping him. |
| 60 | -->"Oh no! They're making me love [[CallBack rock and roll]]! NOOOOOOO!" |
| 61 | ** Even better, this comic came out after ''Batman: Fortunate Son''. It helps the joke to imagine the other Justice League members going 'Hey, Zatanna, while you're mind-wiping him, would you mind making him shut up about rock and roll?' |
| 62 | * Franchise/{{Sherlock|Holmes}} [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oan]]. |
| 63 | -->'''Sherlock!Oan:''' Based on the evidence you provided, with the cast of characters, the relative powers and abilities of those within this universe, and all the clues that the story gives us, it is my professional opinion that... AWizardDidIt.\ |
| 64 | '''Linkara:''' A wizard?\ |
| 65 | '''Sherlock!Oan:''' Yes, I know, I was... just as surprised as you are.\ |
| 66 | '''Linkara:''' You're not a real detective, are you?\ |
| 67 | '''Sherlock!Oan:''' No, but I play one on TV!\ |
| 68 | '''Linkara:''' And I'm not getting my money back, am I?\ |
| 69 | '''Sherlock!Oan:''' Oh, not a cent!\ |
| 70 | '''Linkara:''' ''(deadpan)'' Naturally. |
| 71 | * After explaining how Identity Crisis [[ArtisticLicenseLaw completely disregarded due process]] declares that [[Series/LawAndOrder Jack McCoy]] would not approve. |
| 72 | -->'''Jack [=McCoy=]:''' Just how far up your ass is your head? |
| 73 | * His demonstration as to how shoehorning in a DarkerAndEdgier backstory can fail... using his Miller Time pocket watch. |
| 74 | -->'''Linkara:''' By the way, have I ever told all of you how I got my Miller Time watch? ''(suspenseful music)'' A thief broke into our home one night and said he would kill me and everyone I ever knew and loved. In my rage, I beat his face in so much, it was flat against the ground. And then I took this watch off of him as a memento. I buried the bloody corpse in Nevada. ''(suspenseful music ends)'' '''OF COURSE I DIDN’T!''' The thing was a Christmas present when I was like 13 or something! But if that ''WAS'' the case, it would be pretty hard to watch all of my old Miller Time episodes, now wouldn’t it? |
| 75 | * TheStinger counts as well: |
| 76 | -->'''Green Arrow''': People make fun of secret identities, wondering how we kept them up for so long. It's because we ''worked'' for it. |
| 77 | -->'''Linkara''': [[FridgeLogic You hide your secret identity with]] '''''[[ClarkKenting ONLY]]''''' [[FridgeLogic a domino mask!]] You have a big blonde Robin Hood beard as Green Arrow ''and'' Oliver Queen! ''You'' sure as hell don't work very hard on keeping it! |

| 79 | |
| 80 | [[folder:173: The New Guardians #1]] |
| 81 | * Snowflame. Every last bit of him. |
| 82 | -->"Coffee is cocaine in liquid form!" |
| 83 | ** Particularly when he crashes in on the Ninja Style Dancer. |
| 84 | --->"Snowflame likes the bit that goes umst-umst-umst-bleeeugh!" |
| 85 | *** With the {{Dubstep}} remix of this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaIZ0mUJzr0 song]] playing, no less! |
| 86 | ** Not to mention that apparently, ''he's'' the reason InUniverse why the review was delayed 2 weeks. |
| 87 | *** The best part? He's played by Linkara's friend Will Wolfgram, who also played ''Lord Vyce''. |
| 88 | ** "Snowflame is watching you read!" |
| 89 | ** "Snowflame has replaced your coffee with Foldger's Crystals! [[MustHaveCaffeine Wait a second, this is decaf!]] [[BigNo NOOOOOOOOO!!]] |
| 90 | * Linkara is seemingly oblivious to the cocaine-powered man in his apartment at first. But then he finally acknowledges the man and his crazy statements, and treated it like it was nothing. |
| 91 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yes. I am the passport man.]] |
| 92 | * "Yeah, evolution has dictated that our hair be on fire, our bodies replaced with circuitry, or that we should have [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking really silly mustaches and over-sized earrings]]. Or we should be plants." |
| 93 | * When he sees the [[Anime/YuGiOh Slifer]] Kitty Karry, he realizes that ancient Egypt is once again behind everything. |
| 94 | ** The realization is made even funnier when it is [[RunningGag followed by a picture of the pyramids]], [[Franchise/StarWars the Imperial March]] [[RunningGag playing in the background]]. |
| 95 | * After Hemogoblin eats the cat in the aformentioned Kitty Kase: |
| 96 | -->'''"Guy":''' ''(thinking)'' The man's an animal!\ |
| 97 | '''Linkara (as "Guy"):''' Damn it, Hemogoblin; what am ''I'' going to have for dinner now?! |
| 98 | * Snowflame running outside, thinking snow is cocaine. |
| 99 | ** "Snowflame is stealing your shoes!" |
| 100 | --->'''Linkara:''' ''(smiling)'' They grow up so fast. |
| 101 | * When Extraño points out that he has no idea what he, as a homosexual, is doing in a team whose main purpose is procreation, Linkara is so happy to see a comic pointing out its own plotholes for him. |
| 102 | ** and moments later, Floronic Man's "pedo grin" |
| 103 | --->'''Linkara:''' Who invited a supervillain to the team? It's going to be Doctor Light all over again. |
| 104 | * When Harbringer starts to angst about the fact she has no sexual experience, Linkara points out they if they are supposed to pass their genetic material, she doesn't needs to know more than the basics. |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:174: Gameboy #2]] |
| 108 | * Linkara points out that the cover has Mario floating inside of a spacesuit's helmet while in outer space. |
| 109 | -->'''Linkara:''' The beta version of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Mario Galaxy]]'' was weeeeeeeird. |
| 110 | * This: |
| 111 | -->'''Linkara:''' Okay, I know I used this joke already in the last ''Gameboy'' review, but, I think it bears repeating here.\ |
| 112 | '''[[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim Professor Membrane]]:''' My poor, insane son. |
| 113 | * All the references to the boys from the first issue being crazy/put in a funny farm. |
| 114 | * "We're being hijacked [[RunningGag by bees, my god]]." |
| 115 | * "Hello Travelocity? I need tickets for 40 bees, a few octopi..." |
| 116 | * After the dark cloud around the World Trade Center in the first issue and the plane hijacking in this one, Linkara concludes the comic is trolling him. |
| 117 | * [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "He tells me to burn things!"]] |
| 118 | * Linkara attempting to figure out what would happen if there were THREE Platform/{{Game Boy}}s with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand''. |
| 119 | * TheStinger. |

| 123 | [[folder:175–176: Double Feature '12 (Youngblood #4 & Star Trek: The Search for Spock)]] |
| 124 | * Linkara, making a wrestling metaphor, admits he isn't much of a wrestling fan, getting most of his information from other sources. Cut to… |
| 125 | -->'''Spoony:''' Wrestle! WRESTLLLLEEEE! |
| 126 | * ''Drawing Comics the Marvel Way'' stated that drawing characters with their legs wide apart indicates excitement. Cut to Linkara, standing with his legs wide. "THIS IS EXCITING!" |
| 127 | * "[[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Red-white-and-blue guy with a shield]]. Diehard is clearly a [[CaptainErsatz ripoff]] of... Archie Comics' The Shield." |
| 128 | -->"So, so, it's totally not like any ''other'' character's shield. It's all computers and stuff. It's totally different. ''(beat)'' Shut up!" |
| 129 | ** The best part is that he's holding a copy of ''ComicBook/{{Youngblood|ImageComics}}'' over his Captain America shield. Trying to hide the logo in the middle. |
| 130 | * Him describing the cover: |
| 131 | -->'''Linkara:''' The cover depicts a group of Youngblood members standing around and looking angry. Oh wait, I'm sorry, that was the cover to Issue 3. Let's try again.\ |

| 140 | --->'''Linkara (as Street Thug):''' ''(to a random woman)'' It's skanks like you that make my bulbous knotty parts all tingly.\ |
| 141 | '''Linkara:''' Human beings, even street thugs, do not talk like that. |

| 143 | -->'''Linksano:''' ''Very'' little chance of that, I can assure you! |
| 144 | * "When Starfleet blows you up, they want you to know that it was with a quality Mark IV torpedo! Only cheapskates and Romulans use Mark I torpedoes!" |
| 145 | * "Was the Zombie Spock one of a kind, or a sign of the ZombieApocalypse to come?" |
| 146 | * Bones' response to Kirk asking if he's going to shave: "Nah, I'm going back to the Disco Unabomber look. I thought it gave me character." |
| 147 | * When Kirk muses about how he feels "empty" without Spock: |
| 148 | -->'''Kirk''': Almost as bad as the time Spock's brain went missing. (beat) Stop laughing, that really happened! |
| 149 | * "It is a great honor to stick fried pickles into my head." |
| 150 | * "My God, Leonard Nimoy must be high again! We're gonna find him completely naked, leaping from movie set to movie set, singing the 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'!" |
| 151 | * "This is Vulcan Space Traffic Control. We're...oh my God, that's a Klingon Bird-of-Prey! Shoot it down!" |
| 152 | * When [=McCoy=] is quoting Spock's last words: |

| 154 | '''Linkara:''' I get enough of it at conventions. I don't need it from you, too! |

| 169 | * [[FelonyMisdemeanor SHAZ-8.]] |

| 171 | * Mr. T having nightmares about his brief rap career. |
| 172 | * The return of "Bear!" |
| 173 | * When Linkara jokes that nobody would believe Mr. T would have commited a crime, because of how amazing and inspiring he is. And immediately hopes there won't be any scandal involving Mr. T soon after this review. |

| 181 | * Linkara's reaction to the cover featuring ''Mr. T'' getting [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punched out]] by "Stare Roy"? To walk away from the futon, pace around for a bit, and walk back ''all while saying "No" a bunch''. |
| 182 | ** Even better is seeing Pollo, still in Linkara's Tom Servo watching the whole thing. |
| 183 | *** His added reaction to the comic's cliffhanger ending where Mr. T is knocked out by the aforementioned [[PunnyName Stare]] Roy, as he says "No" a bit more, even playing his DS while adding more to his "no-ing". He then makes up his own ending involving T faking defeat and beating Stare Roy, growing to giant size, joining up with Series/TheATeam to stop the drug runners, and then singing a song about "friendship or whatever". |

| 211 | * Reaching the end of the comic, and faced with a cliffhanger tasking him to play the game in order to "Save Spidey, Cap, and America", Linkara excitedly decides to do so... and ends up getting bored by it. |

| 237 | * "Ah, yes, the most traditional of Kung-Fu weaponry. The umbrella." |
| 238 | * The post-credits stinger, where we see the Ninja-Style Dancer "fighting" against the Plaid Ninja, a representative of the Evil Ninja Empire mentioned earlier. It's as hilarious as it sounds. |
| 239 | * Linkara referring to one of the {{Mooks}} as [[Manga/DragonBall "Krillin"]] and even including the [[WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged "Krillin Owned Count"]] for when said mook makes a rather idiotic observation. |
| 240 | * Contrasting "real martial arts" with "[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Shane riding on Dustin's back]]". |

| 243 | [[folder:181: Kamandi at Earth's End #2]] |
| 244 | %%* The ''Film/TheRoom2003'' reference. |
| 245 | * Linkara points out how much the comic fails at geography...only for the camera to cutaway to Linksano in an insert obviously made after the fact, explaining that the comic was actually right and Linkara's outrage was totally wrong. Later on, back in the regular review, Linkara harps on how the creative team has no grasp of geography...and we cut back to Linksano looking ''incredibly'' uncomfortable. |
| 246 | ** Even more embarrassing, he used this as his final insult to the comic at the end of the video, prompting him to dub in an argument between him and Linksano. |
| 247 | *** Which ends with Linkara simply just decking Linksano after he gets called out on making mistakes in his insults directed at last week's comic (The Invincible Four of Kung-Fu and Ninja #1), particularly the "flaming spear tip". |
| 248 | * "Sorry, two other ladies, you don't meet our definition of beautiful, so you're screwed." |

| 251 | [[folder:182: Black Web #1]] |
| 252 | * The [[RougeAnglesOfSatin "carless"]] craftsman's punishment. |
| 253 | --> Linkara: Being carless, we will punish him by giving it a car... ''and then taking it away.'' |
| 254 | * "OhCrap, spiders can't fly!" |
| 255 | * "I AM A MAN!", and then the camera's angle randomly changes much to Linkara's confusion. |
| 256 | ** The implication being that thanks to the reality warping magic of the "I AM A MAN!" punch, Linkara grabbed his camera. |
| 257 | * Linksano's appearance telling the audience why it's okay to [[IAmNotShazam call Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein]]. "Three, Frankenstein is not real, ''yet'', thus [[FanNickname we can name him whatever we want]]!" |
| 258 | * Black Web encountering what appears to be a [[RaceLift black]] [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony Bum]]. |
| 259 | * ''[[TotallyRadical Spidaceous!]]'' |

| 264 | * Linkara as Grimlock doing a Shakespearian monologue. |
| 265 | -->"Me Grimlock [[Theatre/TheTempest Prospero]]!" |
| 266 | ** Linkara as Grimlock ''period''. |
| 267 | * His complete confusion at how a Transformers story can be "gritty." |
| 268 | * Repeatedly calling out the comic's ContinuityLockOut issues, despite the writer saying it was designed to be newbie-friendly. |
| 269 | * Linkara as Optimus Prime doing a monologue while oblivious to the battle going on. |
| 270 | * As he plays The Touch over a scene of Optimus being badass, he stops it and remembers this is from the 90s and he should play something more appropriate. So he plays Rage Against the Machine. |
| 271 | * "We need to teach the Decepticons how important and precious life is......'''BY KILLING EVERYTHING!!!'''" |
| 272 | * This one is one of the best jokes: |
| 273 | --> '''Jhiaxus''': You ''will'' make a Facebook page, Optimus Prime!\ |
| 274 | '''Optimus Prime''': Never! [=MySpace=] is the right of all sentient beings! |
| 275 | [[/folder]] |

| 277 | [[folder:184: Captain Tax Time #1]] |
| 278 | * At one point, Captain Tax Time punches the lights out of a random guard. The guard says [[CurseCutShort Oh shii...]] before being punched and Captain Tax Time corrects him by saying he meant "sugar". |
| 279 | -->'''Linkara:''' This comic is a piece of sugar. |
| 280 | * Linkara's outrage that the comic [[ShowDontTell doesn't show]] how the two vigilantes managed to clean up all organized crime in Canada. |
| 281 | * Boffo the Clown returns... to do Linkara's taxes. |
| 282 | * "You get a tax! And you get a tax...! I am the Oprah of taxes!" |
| 283 | * "If only there were some way we could ''vote'' them out during ''elections''. It’s a pity we live in Canada, home of the goblin people." Followed by a confused shrug. |
| 284 | * Linkara's increasing rage at Captain Tax Time and Sargent Saver's plan to stop the evil new tax by '''stopping all crime'''. |
| 285 | * When Captain Tax Time and Sergeant Saver come up with the plan, Linkara's delivery makes it sound more like a dimwitted GetRichQuickScheme. |
| 286 | [[/folder]] |
| 287 | |
| 288 | [[folder:185: Superman #701]] |
| 289 | * Linkara's RunningGag of "Superman! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Able to (something stupid or immoral!)" |
| 290 | * An unintentional one: when Superman stops to help some men fix a car, Linkara notes that Superman is glad to help people with problems "of all sizes, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment big]] ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment and]]'' [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment large]]." Made even funnier (this time intentionally so) when he apologizes for this slip in the subtitles: "Editing your script? What's that?" |
| 291 | * While on the topic: |
| 292 | -->'''Citizen:''' How do you know it's a damn fuel line?\ |
| 293 | '''Superman:''' Trust me, I know.\ |
| 294 | '''Linkara, in Superman's voice:''' I cut it myself. |
| 295 | * "Pardon me, citizen, but may I borrow a cup of drugs?" |
| 296 | * Almost all WhatTheHellHero moments - his reactions are hialrous. |
| 297 | [[/folder]] |
| 298 | |
| 299 | [[folder:186: Bloodstrike #1]] |
| 300 | * "All of a sudden, though, I get this weird feeling — like I'm doin' something I've done before — and I freeze up." "Oh jeez, the Taco Bell just hit me!" |
| 301 | * The epic rant about how we don't learn anything about anyone on the team, and the few hints at their backstories are interrupted. "Do they like piña coladas? Give me something!" |
| 302 | * "Great, I already used up the 'Great continuity!' clip." |
| 303 | * Repeatedly getting the comic's name wrong, given how similar all of Rob Liefeld's work is. |
| 304 | * His imitation of General Patton,whose speech he altered in the form of a TakeThat to Liefeld. |
| 305 | ** 90's Kid gets one in the Stinger, too! |
| 306 | --->'''90's Kid:''' I love it; Dude help me, I do love it so... |
| 307 | * After reading a long talk of the [[StupidEvil villain]] which concludes with him stating he will terminate them immediately. |
| 308 | -->'''Linkara:''' Which is why I just spent a minute saying that to you instead of having my guards open fire right away with you at point-blank rage. ''(points to them)'' Clichèd characters, ''(points to himself)'' clichèd villains. |
| 309 | * Linkara ever-growing anger and frustration at the comic and how it follows Image's cliches of the 90's to an annoying tee. |
| 310 | * When Corben explains that he hired Bloodstrike so he could kill them Linkara points that the comic is telling us that this whole was a waste of time, then there's a Blake's 7 clip and this part. |
| 311 | -->'''Cabbot:''' You hired us to-- That's insane!\ |
| 312 | '''Corben:''' Insane? My plane is flawless!\ |
| 313 | '''Linkara:''' Your plan is dumb and so are you! |

| 318 | -->'''Linkara:''' Hello, and welcome to... that thing I do. |
| 319 | * Linkara questions who would title their movie "Smut". Cut to TheReveal that this was what WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob wanted to title ''his'' movie… until the producers shot it down. |
| 320 | -->'''Snob:''' Fine. [[SelfDeprecation 'The Cinema Snob Movie']] it is, then… |
| 321 | * Reacting to seeing the Kingpin being Creator/SpikeLee by going outside while the end credits song in ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' plays in the background. |
| 322 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(quietly walks back inside, sits down on the couch, and picks up the comic again) What?!'' |
| 323 | * His increasingly angry {{Not Making This Up Disclaimer}}s as the comic gets dumber and dumber. |
| 324 | * His reaction to the panel which shows the result of Iron Man and Black Panther hitting the thief's head. |
| 325 | -->'''Linkara:''' "I never hurt your pa—" ''No! All that pounding on the thief's head pushed his head down to his stomach?! HELL NO! This is not a fricking Looney Tunes cartoon!'' |
| 326 | [[/folder]] |
| 327 | |
| 328 | [[folder:188: The Amazing Spider-Man On Bullying Prevention #1]] |
| 329 | * The title card has Linkara and Spidey wincing at the… ''odd'' expression of the kid from the comic’s [[CoversAlwaysLie unrelated-to-the-actual story cover]]. |
| 330 | * The entirety of TheStinger: Snowflame gives a PSA on the benefits of succumbing to peer pressure while holding increasingly large and unwieldy props from past storylines. |
| 331 | * When Spider-Man realizes that he knows the Brace Linkara goes on a mini-rant about how everyone Spidey seems to know becomes a villain. |
| 332 | -->'''Linkara:''' Peter Parker is a magnet for crazy people! |
| 333 | * In the second story, a boy named Juan throws a bully several feet back with one shove of his hand. Linkara then declares that Juan has super strength. |
| 334 | * Linkara makes this jab at Spider-Man's dialogue in the very beginning of the second story: |
| 335 | -->'''Spider-Man''': Look at all the people in Central Park skating the afternoon away! So who needs in-line skates? It's a beautiful day for web-swinging!\ |
| 336 | '''Linkara (as Spider-Man)''': Enjoy gravity, losers! |
| 337 | [[/folder]] |
| 338 | |
| 339 | [[folder:189: The New Teen Titans Anti-Drug Giveaway #1]] |
| 340 | * After Linkara talks about how it turns out China Cat is actually a drug name and wonders why they'd call it that we get this: |
| 341 | -->'''Linkara'''(said in a gravely drug pusher voice): Hey man, you wanna get a hit of Slinky!? (starts playing with a slinky) Everyone knows it's Slinky. |
| 342 | * The title card shows Linkara using truly Batman-like deductive skills on the Protector, the CaptainErsatz of Robin, who has the words "I Am Not Robin" painted on his uniform, while the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 animated Teen Titans version of Robin]] slaps his forehead in frustration and the animated version of Speedy tries to hide the fact that he's heating up a spoonful of heroin. |
| 343 | * "I'm 13 years old and I've taken[…]pop and mushrooms." "Oh my God, not ''pop''! First they get you on the Pepsi, then they move you up to harder stuff like Mountain Dew!" Even funnier when you realize he actually misread "PCP" as "pop". |
| 344 | * "OH MY GOD! RAVEN'S TRIPPING BALLS!" |
| 345 | * Linkara's back and forth of Starfire constantly reminding Speedy of his past drug addictions, to Speedy's growing annoyance. And just as a little nod at one point Linkara as Speedy uses Starfire's real name. |
| 346 | * After the line where Protector says that people uses drugs for many reasons and for no reasons. |
| 347 | -->'''Linkara 1:''' Hey, why did you start taking crack?\ |
| 348 | '''Linkara 2:''' Eh. No reason. |
| 349 | * When a doctor informs the Titans that they unfortunately arrived too late for them to save the dying kid they found: |
| 350 | -->'''Starfire:''' Those drugs ''killed'' him?\ |
| 351 | '''Linkara (as the doctor):''' Oh, heck no, we’re just a terrible hospital. |
| 352 | * Starfire's BigNo, complete with a ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' reference. |
| 353 | * "I'm telling you sweetie, that [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd Angry Video Game Nerd]] is a bad influence on her." |
| 354 | * One of the drug victims is identified as Juan. "[[CallBack That's why he could toss people around one-handed!]]" |
| 355 | * Linkara ranting on about Rise of Arsenal, before realizing that, since the reboot, Lian would never have been born in the first place. |
| 356 | -->'''Linkara''': You know, I think I may hate the reboot. |
| 357 | ** Not the only part: |
| 358 | --->'''Roy:''' Pal, you just made yourself a bad mistake.\ |
| 359 | '''Linkara (as Roy):''' Here! Wanna see the pictures of my DEAD DAUGHTER, who lead me to start taking drugs again!? DO YOU!? '''ANSWER ME, DAMNIT!!!''' |
| 360 | * The Protector's dialogue being completely unchanged from Robin's, so he talks and acts as if he was the leader despite apparently being a recent ally. |
| 361 | -->'''Linkara (as the Protector):''' I am the Protector, your new Lord and Master! YOU WILL COME AND GO AS I COMMAND! |
| 362 | * "Oh my ''God,'' it's fun being transparently evil! I'm gonna go kick a puppy!" |
| 363 | * Linkara reminding Cyborg who's ''supposed'' to be in charge. |
| 364 | --->'''Cyborg''': Okay, you're right, boss-man...\ |
| 365 | '''Linkara''': He's not your boss! [[ComicBook/{{Robin}} Your boss]] [[ExiledFromContinuity is busy doing a Nabisco crackers commercial!]] |
| 366 | * "BEING HYSTERICAL AND ANGRY IS WHAT POT DOES TO YOU, RIGHT?!" |
| 367 | * When Raven tells some kids that drugs can make it impossible for them to have kids. |
| 368 | -->'''Linkara (as Kid 1):''' But Raven, I don't want to have any kids!\ |
| 369 | '''Linkara (as Kid 2):''' I already have a disorder that makes me incapable of having kids.\ |
| 370 | '''Linkara (as Raven):''' Oh crap, I didn't think about that. |

| 374 | |
| 375 | [[folder:190: Daredevil vs. Vapora #1]] |
| 376 | * The blurb on the inside of the comic's cover teaches Linkara about how dangerous light switches can be! |
| 377 | -->'''Blurb:''' Gasoline is dangerous because of the invisible, flammable vapors it produces. Gasoline vapors can ignite at temperatures well below zero. The tiniest spark from a match, a pilot light, even turning on a light switch, can trigger a devastating explosion.\ |
| 378 | ''(Linkara looks up from comic to look at the light switch in his room; camera pushes in on it with a ScareChord)''\ |
| 379 | '''Linkara:''' Watching you, you bastard. ''(does the military "eyes on you" gesture)'' |
| 380 | * Linkara's fun with the line "It's some type of vaporous thing, a Vapora!" |
| 381 | -->'''Linkara''': This is some type of comic thing, a Com-eec-a! |
| 382 | ** At the end of the review. |
| 383 | --->'''Linkara''': All I can say is this is some type of stupid thing, a stupeed-a. |
| 384 | * Linkara versus Physics: |
| 385 | -->'''Narrator:''' In front of him, a drop of 20 feet to the street below. Alone, it would be nothing; a puddle-jump.\ |
| 386 | '''Linkara:''' Oh yeah, jumping down to the ground from 20 feet up is perfectly safe. Allow me to demonstrate— '''*THUD*''' OH GOD, MY LEGS!! |
| 387 | * When Murdock asks if the cop saw Vapora, the cop asks Murdock "Did I ''see''?" and points to his eyes. |
| 388 | -->'''Linkara (as Murdock):''' Uh, I mean, did you HEAR that? I'm totally not faking being blind or anything. |
| 389 | * After Linkara finishes a rant pointing out the stupidity of a mother lighting a cigarette not only near her baby, but on a carpeted floor next to an open gas canister, causing the vapors-- and her-- to be set on fire: |
| 390 | -->'''Linkara (as the Mother):''' Oh, dear God! The burning! The pain! '''''THIS WAS COMPLETELY AVOIDABLLLLE!!''''' |
| 391 | * His sheer horror over the teenagers using gasoline to clean their motorbikes. Wondering if they use gasoline to rinse leftover shampoo from their shower. |
| 392 | ** This sequence only becomes funnier if you know that gasoline ''is'' used to clean mechanical parts, since the comic actually managed to find the one thing gasoline ''can'' be a legitimate cleaning product for ''and still gets the facts wrong''. |
| 393 | ** Oh and we get this clip from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' after Linkara's shocked reaction. |
| 394 | -->'''Doctor Cox:''' Dear… [[TooDumbToLive incompetent]]… dumbass… |
| 395 | * His reaction to multiple Vaporas. |
| 396 | -->'''Linkara''': Wait, MULTIPLE Vaporas? There are MORE of this thing? Did everyone fill their gas tanks in a demonic cult ceremony?" |
| 397 | * This exchange. |
| 398 | -->'''Vapora''': [=DieRedManMorePainBiggerBetterBigger=]\ |
| 399 | '''Linkara''': [[Music/DaftPunk Harder Better Faster Stronger]] (''song plays'') |
| 400 | ** Especially good as he fixes the camera with a blank, hard stare for a good five seconds or so. |
| 401 | * This week's Snowflame PSA. |

| 405 | [[folder:191: Batman: A Word to the Wise]] |
| 406 | * In the comic, Joker pulls a gun on one of his own mooks to prevent Batman from stopping him while he escapes before pulling the gun on Batman himself. Of course, he doesn't shoot him (with bullets), but Linkara decides to what would happen if he averted the WhyDontYouJustShootHim moment. |
| 407 | -->'''Linkara (as the Joker)''': ''(pulls the trigger and shoots)'' Heh. T-that was surprisingly simple. Kind of funny, actually. |
| 408 | * Linkara showing the gaping flaw in the Joker's plan. His army is only six people, Canada and the United States would crush him. |
| 409 | * Linkara drops a line from his theme song when the Gunslinger starts shooting. |
| 410 | -->'''Linkara''': You have a magic gun? Where'd you purchase that? |
| 411 | * When the Gunslinger notices that in spite of the sparks and explosions, nothing in Linkara's apartment is being damaged by his gunshots. This may end up being important, but either way it's a nice bit of lampshading. |
| 412 | * When Batman and the kids stop at Zellers to buy cowboy outfits |
| 413 | -->'''Linkara:''' Yeah, it's a good thing you guys bought those outfits because... ''(beat, blinks twice, beat, blinks once, beat)'' ...They decide to head to a rare bookstore... |
| 414 | * Snowflame's PSA combines WebVideo/EpicMealTime and a complete MindScrew. |
| 415 | ** His making most of the sandwich in typical LargeHam fashion, then carefully measuring out the cocaine put on top. |
| 416 | ** At one point during his freak out, he's playing chess with Linkara's teddy bear. ''And he's losing''. |
| 417 | * Linkara as the girl at the library. |
| 418 | -->"I need chapters! ''Chapterrrrs!''" |
| 419 | * When the Joker tells Batman he'll "see (him) in the funny papers", Linkara follows up with infamous "Joker Pulls Boner of the Year" headline. |
| 420 | * Linkara pointing out the silliness of Batman commenting on the beauty of the Canadian wilderness. Made even funnier by reading it in his Batman gruff-voice. |
| 421 | ** It's doubly amusing if you know anything about geography -- the panel shows mountains in the background. Not many of those between Montreal and Toronto. |
| 422 | * "Don't worry, kids, I can't fly either!" |
| 423 | ** "Unlike that Superman...Not that I'm jealous or anything!" |
| 424 | * The Joker demands a rare book from the (wheelchair-bound!) librarian. The librarian tells him he's being too loud and asks him to leave. |
| 425 | -->'''Linkara:''' Librarians ''do not know fear.'' |
| 426 | * Pointing out the girl's unhealthy obsession with reading to the point she was excited about reading information pamphlets. |
| 427 | * His commentary on Batman swinging through the air while fireworks are going off in the background. |
| 428 | -->'''Linkara (as Batman):''' Oh, God! My cape is on fire! [[CallBack Why did I clean it with gasoline!?]] |
| 429 | * Linkara's near spot-on impression of Creator/MarkHamill's [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] makes all of his readings of Joker's dialogue that much funnier. |
| 430 | * Linkara's impression of the girl talking about writing erotic crossover fanfiction about Franchise/HarryPotter and [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn]]. Made funnier by the fact that Linkara used to write fanfiction himself, though not erotic crossover fanfics. |
| 431 | [[/folder]] |
| 432 | |
| 433 | [[folder:SPECIAL: ''Southland Tales'']] |
| 434 | * Linkara brings Film Brain to explain the backstory of the movie [[note]] As in how the film came to be made. The reviewers spend five minutes trying to sum up the film's ten minute intro.[[/note]]: |
| 435 | -->'''Film Brain:''' Where am I?! How did I get here!? |
| 436 | * Phelous piling on the sarcasm more and more every time he talks. |
| 437 | * The "You're in my way" RunningGag parts during a certain part of the review involving a SWAT like team. CallBack to WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment 's LetsPlay on ''VideoGame/SWAT4''. |
| 438 | * The CallBack to ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'': "I'm not even in front of you!" |
| 439 | * The Stormtrooper. |
| 440 | * When Justin Timberlake gives another Revelation quote, [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] suddenly appears with a huge pipe ("Oh, by the way, I'm in this review now.") and gives a well-researched summary of the Book of Revelation, along with describing how ''Southland Tales'' was written to be a one-on-one transliteration of Revelation and the Biblical counterparts of several characters. Then: |
| 441 | -->'''Nostalgia Chick:''' So, what's the Biblical significance of the elephants fucking?\ |
| 442 | '''Oancitizen:''' Oh, nothing, just stupid, unsubtle jabs at the Republican Party. |
| 443 | * The reviewers frustration of the narrator's constant quoting of Book of Revelation. |
| 444 | -->"Revelation 22..."\ |
| 445 | (Entire Room) "SHUT UP!" |
| 446 | * After a scene in the film where several shocking revelations are made, the reviewers parody this by shouting out their own revelations, culminating in Nash shouting "I'm pregnant!" Then WebVideo/JesuOtaku pops up out of nowhere, slaps him, and runs off crying. |
| 447 | * Justin Timberlake's character gets high on Fluid Karma and starts a music video of "All The Things That I've Done." Todd's interpretation of this is that it's really Timberlake's own dream and that him coming out of it at the end is him realizing, "Wait, I was never in Music/TheKillers! I was in a [[Music/{{NSYNC}} terrible boy band!]]" Narrated over pouty-face Timberlake. |
| 448 | * The group's increasing frustration with the film: |
| 449 | -->'''Krysta Now:''' It had to be this way.\ |
| 450 | '''Sad Panda:''' Why does it have to be this way?! What the hell is going on!? |
| 451 | * The reviewers' sum-up at the end about why the movie sucked. |
| 452 | -->'''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Joel:]]''' [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E05RocketAttackUSA And all we learn is we're supposed to live in the country and not in the city!]] |
| 453 | * "[[Film/TheSixthSense He's already dead!]]" "[[TakeThat What? No! That'd be stupid! It wouldn't make any sense!]]" "[[ItMakesSenseInContext You're saying that about a movie that has]] ''[[RuleThirtyFour car fucking]]''." |
| 454 | * The reviewers force Linkara to give them the time they wasted watching the movie back. He asks "where will I find a time machine?" Then he rides a Delorean while the theme to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' plays. When he arrives back to the room where Past Linkara and the rest are reviewing.... they begin singing Music/TheKillers. And the musical continues until the end, getting weirder and funnier. |

| 458 | * The beginning of the video |
| 459 | -->'''Linkara:''' Spider-Man meets the cast of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''...what? ''(cut to opening credits)'' |
| 460 | * Creator/JohnBelushi being made a ComicBook/GreenLantern. Just try to picture it without cracking up. |
| 461 | * Linkara putting a spin on his usual intro. |
| 462 | -->'''Linkara:''' So let's dig into ''ComicBook/MarvelTeamUp'' #74 and LIVE FROM NEW YORK IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT! ''(the Saturday Night Live intro plays for about 10 seconds before Linkara pushes the clip away)'' Yeah, that bit is over. This is recorded, it's Minnesota, and it's Monday afternoon. |
| 463 | * His breakdown as Creator/StanLee wishing Marvel would let him stop saying the same catchphrase, then letting out a tormented "''Excelsior''..." |
| 464 | * The ShoutOut to ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' in response to Silver Samurai's irritation at Belushi's costume. |

| 469 | -->'''Linkara:''' Who did you sell it to!?\ |
| 470 | '''Insano:''' I don't know what you're talking about!\ |
| 471 | '''Linkara:''' Anti-magic field generator kit! Who did you sell it to?\ |
| 472 | '''Insano:''' I haven't sold one of those in months. Not since they discovered the defect [[CallBack against]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Blitzballs]]! |

| 477 | * The video's thumbnail: [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Blue Demoman and Red Pyro facing off while Linkara is wearing the original announcer outfit (Half Blue Half Red)]]. He incorporates its meaning into the video by calling the conflict stupid, vague, and pointless reasons for people killing each other. |
| 478 | * When Father Time orders soldiers to shoot anyone in a costume, he says, "I don't care if it's Green Lantern, Superman, or the whole Justice League riding magic ponies!" Cut to a montage of fanart of the Justice League riding [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the Mane Six]]. |
| 479 | ** Scored with [[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 The Gonk]]. |
| 480 | * In a bit of WebVideo/{{Phelous}}-brand humor, when the Nuclear Legion is revealed: |
| 481 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(excited)'' [[CaptainObvious Guess what they all have in common!]] ''(deadpan)'' [[AskAStupidQuestion Hydro-electric power.]] ''([[{{Beat}} silence]])'' |
| 482 | * Linkara points out that, as far as they know, the people in the camps are fighting ''[[TooDumbToLive to get into a dangerously radioactive area]]''. |
| 483 | -->'''Linkara:''' I am not sympathetic to ''STUPID'' PEOPLE! |
| 484 | * Linkara tries to get off the review by imitating the ending of ''[[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob The Geek]]''. Of course, it doesn't work. |
| 485 | * His [[EpilepticTree theory]] that Firebrand is Izaak Crowe from ''Batman: Fortunate Son''; after being shot down by the cops, he was buried in Blüdhaven and later resurrected by the Chemo blast as a superpowered zombie. |
| 486 | * This little gem: |
| 487 | -->[[GratuitousSpanish '''VIVA LA REVOLUCION!''']] |
| 488 | * After consulting a Cloak from ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' on how to fix his magic problem, Linkara thanks him by sending ten dollars to his paypal account. |
| 489 | -->'''Cloak:''' Sucker. I would have told him for five. |
| 490 | [[/folder]] |
| 491 | |
| 492 | [[folder:195: Battle for Blüdhaven #3-4]] |
| 493 | * Linkara continues to play Firebrand as an annoyance comparable to Izaak Crowe, and as such, it merits the return of the Superboy Prime Voice! |
| 494 | * A certain character provides a rather on-the-nose reminder of the ending of ''Film/SouthlandTales'' while talking about the Black Baron, prompting Linkara to just quiver with rage for a few seconds before shouting that the movie won't stop taunting him. |
| 495 | * After [[DesignatedHero Firebrand]] makes another stupid Strawman argument about the evil of the goverment: |
| 496 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[SarcasmMode No, no. Please, go on.]] I'd also like to hear more about [[ShoutOut the sinister purpose behind]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited aglets while you're at it]]. |
| 497 | * The skit proposal for the Blüdhaven facility (which features an incomplete wall). |
| 498 | [[/folder]] |
| 499 | |
| 500 | [[folder:196: Battle for Blüdhaven #5-6]] |
| 501 | * The recap of the first four issues: |
| 502 | -->"The government controls the city of Blüdhaven, because they're idiots. The Atomic Knights are running around Blüdhaven with no clear end goal, because they're idiots. The Secret Society of Supervillains send two teams of nuclear-themed characters into Blüdhaven, because they're idiots. Firebrand...is an idiot." |
| 503 | * His rendition of Firebrand telling the media of what he's seen in Blüdhaven. |
| 504 | * His horror at the dystopian future with [[DesignatedEvil hovering police officers, large political posters, banners with very vague dystopian implications, and]] ''[[FauxHorrific ordinary people walking down the street!]]'' |
| 505 | -->'''[[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]]:''' Oh, my God! Oh, my God![[note]]From his parody/deconstruction of Radio/GlennBeck[[/note]] |

| 507 | |
| 508 | [[folder:197: Sir Charles Barkley and the Referee Murders]] |
| 509 | * Following two referee murders... |
| 510 | -->'''Spectator:''' Hey Barkley, you can't kill him until after the game!\ |
| 511 | '''Linkara:''' He's right, you know. Murdering the ref is a two-shot penalty. |
| 512 | * "Take down this romantic advice, Heterosexual Men: The ladies like it when you accept their gifts of coats and hats." (Mouths "Oh yeah"). |
| 513 | * Linkara's search for a solution to his Magic Gun problem brings him to Spring-Con...which is south of where he lives rather than north, where he should be going. "I should really buy a map." |
| 514 | ** Not to mention talking about being "calm-headed" -- [[DescriptionCut while he's running around all crazy]]. |
| 515 | ** HilarityEnsues when Linkara gets drunk and rants about "JLA Act of God" -- even after he said never to do anything to embarrass yourself. |
| 516 | --->'''Linkara:''' The thing about JLA Act of God is that they get Booster Gold's character wrong, they think he's just about the money, he doesn't care about actually helping people, he's just like 'oh, I just want the fame and fortune'. You know, I just realized that you don't probably don't even know who the heck I'm talking about, who are you, anyway?\ |
| 517 | '''Dan Jurgens:''' My name is Dan Jurgens, the creator of Booster Gold.\ |
| 518 | '''Linkara:''' ...And the problem with Blue Beetle these days is... |
| 519 | * Linkara meets Julie Sydor (who would eventually go on to play Erin during the Sleepwalker and Clone Saga arcs), who gushes over how cute his Cybermat is and says she wants to keep it forever. Linkara immediately lunges for the cute little robot and growls "Mine!" |
| 520 | ** And before that, he's ranting to her about Snowflame, with her looking very interested in the rant. Cut to three hours later and Linkara's gone off on a very weird tangent and Julie's beating herself over the head with the Magic Gun until she goes unconscious. |
| 521 | [[/folder]] |
| 522 | |
| 523 | [[folder:198: Captain Electron #1]] |
| 524 | * The many "testimonials" on how bad the Brick Computer Science Institute was. |
| 525 | * Repeatedly calling the vaguely [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Arnim Zola]] looking computer creepy in some fashion. |
| 526 | -->There's a word I'm looking for to describe a being like Mr. Computer, now, now, what was it? Oh right, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! |
| 527 | * "Also, a bowtie because [[Series/DoctorWho bowties are cool!"]] |
| 528 | * Linkara ''completely'' stumbling when Captain Electron, signaled that a disaster has happened in New York, flies off... and the comic takes a random turn for the ''extremely'' dark, as [[HarsherInHindsight a plane's hit the Chrysler Building]]. |
| 529 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[FacePalm]'' Oh, sweet merciful crap... |
| 530 | * "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dr. Mannfred... Zongor.]] Y'know, some people are just ''born'' to be supervillains." |
| 531 | * This: |
| 532 | -->'''Mr. Computer:''' I have a wonderful story to tell you that I know you will enjoy.\ |
| 533 | '''Linkara:''' I call it "Rule34: The Musical." |
| 534 | * Looking at Animiniapolis for someone to fix his magic gun, the only person who knows magic is...[[Anime/YuGiOh Yami Yugi]]. Whose show is not allowed to show guns in America, so he doesn't know what to do. |
| 535 | * "The fascinating world of computer science, kids! [[BrokenAesop It's a tool for evil!]]" |
| 536 | * The title card itself! Which has Linkara jumped up into Captain Electron's arms as they [[OcularGushers cry in fear]] from the unnatural state of Mr. Computer. |
| 537 | [[/folder]] |
| 538 | |
| 539 | [[folder:199: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home]] |
| 540 | * When announcing he's reviewing yet another Franchise/StarTrek movie comic, Linkara tells people not to panic or leave. It's oddly funny to see him beg like that. |
| 541 | * When Spock is going through an intelligence test, Linkara acts out Spock freaking out: |
| 542 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[Series/TheWeakestLink Uh, BANK!]] N-N-No, wait, [[Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire I need a lifeline!]] Uh-- [[Series/{{Jeopardy}} Should I answer in the form of a question?]] Oh, God, this is too much pressure! ''(runs away)'' |
| 543 | * When Uhura puts the probe's signals on the speakers... |
| 544 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(listening)'' My God, it's {{Dubstep}}. |
| 545 | * The LargeHam reading of the Klingon ambassador. |
| 546 | * "Damn it, VideoGame/{{Ecco|TheDolphin}}! You saved your band of mutant flying dolphins, but you didn't save the humpback whales!!" |
| 547 | * Post credits humor: punching [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Corporate Commander]] and very quickly beling out "I AM A MAN!!" before running off. |
| 548 | ** Plus, his being even more frustrated with his inexplicable inability to figure out which way is north. |
| 549 | ** Likewise, his narration of being in the wilderness, being in broken lands without civilization around him happens....while being in front of the Capitol and downtown Washington D.C. Living off the land and learning from the natives? White Castle and eating with Brad Jones. |
| 550 | * His face when referencing the stupid treaty that the Federation signed with the Romulans, forbidding the ''Federation'' from developing cloaking devices. |
| 551 | * After see that Captain Kirk would sell [=McCoy=]'s present from the previous movie, Linkara adds the "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater You created a]] TimeParadox" line to great effect. |
| 552 | * When the Franchise/SilentHill fog comes back after the comic talks about a strange fog, Linkara begins to protest that the fog in the comic was aliens, not Franchise/SilentHill, before remembering the [[MultipleEndings UFO Endings]]. |
| 553 | [[/folder]] |
| 554 | |
| 555 | [[folder: 200th Episode (Spider-Man: One More Day)]] |
| 556 | * The intro, telling us that Linkara is in good condition as he continues his journey. [[GilliganCut Cut to:]] |
| 557 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(in a field in the middle of nowhere)'' I am ''so'' lost! |
| 558 | * The montage of the ''many'' times Linkara mentioned his hatred of [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay the comic]]. |
| 559 | -->'''Linkara:''' Yeah, I think I might have brought it up once or twice. |
| 560 | * Upon opening the comic and reading the first page... |
| 561 | -->''[[TrueArtIsAngsty "Tune your ear to the frequency of despair,]] [[MeaninglessMeaningfulWords and cross-reference by the longitude and latitude of a heart of agony.]] [[ToThePain Listen.]] [[{{Narm}} Listen."]]'' |
| 562 | --> '''Linkara:''' ''(after a good ol' FacePalm) [[PunctuatedForEmphasis FIRST...]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck SENTENCE!!!]]'' |
| 563 | * Website/SFDebris's cameo: |
| 564 | -->'''Chuck:''' ''(after his lack-of-picture is pointed out)'' Picture? There is no picture; cameras steal your soul! |
| 565 | ** "WHO ''ARE'' YOU?" |
| 566 | * The return of the Continuity Alarm. |
| 567 | * All of Obscurus Lupa's cameo. "Oooooooooo, I'm so mysteeeerious!" |
| 568 | ** Her doing the wave when trying to be "mysterious". |
| 569 | * The visions of Linkara's future, both if he does and does not continue reviewing comics. The only difference is their hats. |
| 570 | ** Plus Phelous and the Sci-Fi Guy, saying their lines like there's a gun to their head. And Sci-Fi Guy is seen reading a script. Then he derails the premise of his cameo entirely to say he has no contempt for comic books; "I just bought the new issue of Green Lantern Corps." |
| 571 | * [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m80xucktio1rqnzpoo1_250.gif His imitation]] of how Peter and Mary Jane's future daughter walks. The goofy expression on his face and the choice of music is what really sells it. |
| 572 | * Everything about the Cinema Snob's cameo, from his monologue to his Caligula costume which consists of draping Lloyd's favorite blanket across his body. |
| 573 | * When the first Future Peter tells Peter that he's a video game designer: |
| 574 | -->'''Linkara:''' Right now, I'm working on the ending to ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''. I think people will really like it! |
| 575 | * Linkara's response to Peter asking in which of the "infinite" iterations is he a little girl. |
| 576 | -->'''Linkara:''' That would be... Iteration #516. It's actually a really interesting twist on everything. Oh! in iteration #29, you're a pig.\ |
| 577 | ''({{beat}})''\ |
| 578 | [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer I'm not even kidding either.]] Google it: ComicBook/SpiderHam. |
| 579 | * Sums up the whole encounter with the first Future Peter as: |
| 580 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[ThisLoserIsYou You buy our crap because you're a loser,]] [[ShapedLikeItself so keep buying our crap, loser!]] |
| 581 | * The final verdict. |
| 582 | -->'''Linkara:''' This comic... [[SarcasmMode is actually a lot better than I thought it would be]]. ''({{beat}})'' '''[[UnstoppableRage OF COURSE IT ISN'T, THIS COMIC SUCKS!!!]]''' |
| 583 | * Everything about Creator/DougWalker's cameo as [[WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses That Guy With The Glasses]] playing the Devil, offering Linkara to erase ''One More Day'' from existence in exchange of his show. |
| 584 | -->'''That Guy With The Glasses:''' (Reading Linkara's signed deal) No chance in hell, you piece of-- [[EvenEvilHasStandards ...I can't even pronounce that!]] |
| 585 | * TheStinger, with Linkara's dad singing the theme tune. And screwing it up! |
| 586 | * Mephisto is explaining the terms of [[DealWithTheDevil his deal]]: |
| 587 | -->'''Mephisto:''' What I want is greater than what one paltry soul can provide me. What I want is the one thing in the universe that is truly greater than the sum of its parts and tastier than any single soul I could devour. |
| 588 | -->'''Linkara (as Mephisto):''' I want...[[MundaneMadeAwesome tickets to be in the audience to]] ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''!\ |
| 589 | '''Linkara (as Peter):''' ...But I already used those tickets years ago!\ |
| 590 | '''Linkara (as Mephisto):''' What?! Aw, dammit! Do you know how hard it is to get those?! |
| 591 | * "Dammit, I really need to stop taping random ironic sepia-toned photographs to my walls." |
| 592 | [[/folder]] |
| 593 | |
| 594 | [[folder:201: Rock and Roll #31: Vanilla Ice]] |
| 595 | * Pollo's reaction to Holokara saying "Cool, as Ice". |
| 596 | -->'''Pollo:''' That was terrible, you're terrible, and my arms still don't work. |
| 597 | * Like with the Eminem and Punisher crossover comic, Linkara (in this case, Holokara) calls on the Rap Critic to explain the history of Vanilla Ice. During said explanation, Rap Critic throws in a wonderful TakeThat. |
| 598 | -->'''Rap Critic:''' But it's not like he just ripped off a specific song from a black artist and then didn't give them credit. No, he did that to Music/DavidBowie. |
| 599 | * After a gang witnesses Vanilla breakdancing, one of the members notes that he's not "half bad for someone of the Caucasian persuasion!" |
| 600 | -->'''Holokara:''' So he's pretty fly for a white guy? ("Pretty Fly For A White Guy" by The Offspring starts playing.) |
| 601 | ** Later, Vanilla's future manager sees him perform at a rapping competition and notes that he's "pretty good...for a white guy." |
| 602 | --->'''Holokara:''' You mean he's pretty fly for a...aw crap, I already did that joke. |
| 603 | * After pointing out that the comic seems to be emphasizing the bad parts of Vanilla Ice's life, Holokara wonders who would buy this comic. '''"DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!"''' |
| 604 | * When Vanilla Ice comes up with his iconic hairstyle, an audience member says that he looks like a hyper Series/MaxHeadroom. |
| 605 | -->'''Holokara:''' Ironic, because it only took 20 minutes into the future for Vanilla Ice's career to fail. (RimShot) |
| 606 | * "You're being interviewed - get up and put on a damn shirt!" |
| 607 | ** Made better by how Holokara mimics Vanilla Ice's pose, shirtless and all. |
| 608 | * Holokara noting that if they ever make a biography comic about ''his'' (Linkara's) life, it would just feature him [[DrowningMySorrows drinking]] after reading ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}''. |
| 609 | * The weird look on Holokara's face as he pretends to be [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext young Vanilla Ice accepting a dare to shove a Duel Disk up his nose]]. |
| 610 | [[/folder]] |
| 611 | |
| 612 | [[folder:202: Future Shock #1]] |
| 613 | * His reaction to the man's head exploding in the opening. |
| 614 | * Joking that he used up the shirtless budget last week. |
| 615 | * We see that the guy has a lamp on his desk and Holokara proceeds to [[WebVideo/ForgetAboutIt review the lamp]], critiquing its tendency to blow up one's head. |
| 616 | ** Becomes HilariousInHindsight after Linkara's conversation with Paw ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' part 1: |
| 617 | --->'''Linkara:''' What do I review, Paw?\ |
| 618 | '''Paw:''' ...Lamps? |
| 619 | * Holokara takes a good moment to recover after Jenny declares that [[StrawFeminist "all men are potential rapists, and the ones who aren't married have some sort of disease!"]] |
| 620 | * This bit: |
| 621 | -->'''Comic:''' That's no dog...\ |
| 622 | '''[[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan]]:''' It's a space station. |
| 623 | * When Jenny first encounters the hounds from hell, Holokara plays the wild Pokémon battle music. |
| 624 | * [[BigWhat SATAN'S SLUT?!]] |
| 625 | ** After the second occurrence: |
| 626 | --->"[[Film/TheBigLebowski What in God's Holy Name are you blathering about?]]" |
| 627 | [[/folder]] |
| 628 | |
| 629 | [[folder:203: Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham #1 ]] |
| 630 | * Holokara's reaction to Catwoman's "Cat signal", which he considers creepy. |
| 631 | -->'''Holokara:''' It's like the moon is getting ready to eat us. |
| 632 | * The comparison between bat and cat symbolism. Batman has a lot to work with for striking fear in the hearts of criminals. Catwoman... ''(insert Keyboard Cat clip)'' |
| 633 | -->'''Holokara:''' I think "Catwoman being Gotham's protector", and ''this'' is what is conjured up:\ |
| 634 | '''[[WebVideo/ObscurusLupa Ash]]!Catwoman:''' [[VerbalTic Eehh,]] I'm the hero Gotham deserves, but not what it needs...cuz I'm lazy. Heh, heh-heh-heh. |
| 635 | * When Batman stumbles onto Catwoman's lair, he sees computer monitors covered in information about him. It can only mean one thing: ''a fan Tumblr''! |
| 636 | ** "Unbelievable...but there's no other explanation. Selena Kyle...is ''Superman!''" |
| 637 | * The whole Sugar Ray section. |
| 638 | * His bafflement at how the abandoned theater changed floors between panels. |
| 639 | -->[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Space is warped]] [[Film/TheSheCreature and time is bendable]]. |
| 640 | * His response to a bit of NarratingTheObvious at the end of the comic. |
| 641 | -->"REVIEWING A HORRIBLE COMIC!" |
| 642 | * "Figure it out. If you're the Catwoman, then I'm...''Possum Man!''" |
| 643 | [[/folder]] |
| 644 | |
| 645 | [[folder:204: Catwoman: Guardian of Gotham #2]] |
| 646 | * The "Previously On..." segment, which Deconstructs said "Previously On..." segments. |
| 647 | -->'''WebVideo/MarzGurl:''' Look, if we're going to restore normality to this "Previously On..." segment, we need to throw in an unexpected plot twist and make it an entirely new episode.\ |
| 648 | '''Oancitizen:''' There's only one way to do that: An unexpected cameo!\ |
| 649 | '''WebVideo/JesuOtaku:''' I'm unexpected! |
| 650 | * Batman's expression upon learning that Catwoman survived falling from a tall building. |
| 651 | -->'''Holokara''': It's like if [[LosingHorns "waah, waah, waah"]] had a face. |
| 652 | ** To give you an idea, it looks strikingly similar to [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aBh2tKoO9-8/UA9k0P9c6yI/AAAAAAAADHk/j0AtaBdODcM/s1600/shocked%20batman%20reaction%20meme.jpg this]]. |
| 653 | * Holokara starts to suspect that the artist has a fetish for people sticking their tongues out. So he sticks his out. |
| 654 | -->'''Holokara:''' Do I make you horny, baby? |
| 655 | * The title card, which has Linkara dressed up as [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]] talking with a heavily pregnant Catwoman, and the caption "I'm Pregnant with my Supervillain Husband's Baby!" |
| 656 | * The literal rimshot. |
| 657 | -->'''Batman:''' Never saw any marital spats, honey?\ |
| 658 | ''(cut to a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' clip of Fred Armisen playing the three notes)'' |
| 659 | * After Batman says that his and Catwoman's marriage essentially meant jack squat: |
| 660 | -->'''Music/WeirdAl:''' I was only kidding. I was only kidding! I was only kidding. You thought that was for ''real?'' |
| 661 | * Bruce Wayne ComicallyMissingThePoint, and totally accepting Selina Kyle (who's revealed her identity to him) as his dominatrix. |
| 662 | [[/folder]] |
| 663 | |
| 664 | [[folder:205: Psychoman #1]] |
| 665 | * In the comic, God narrates how he occasionally gives his creations extraordinary powers. |
| 666 | -->'''Holokara:''' I once gave Mara Wilson [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic the power to call upon old video footage of people and then smite them for their sins]]. Man, that one was awesome. |
| 667 | * When the comic attempts to lampshade the "[[ComicBook/SpiderMan with great power comes great responsibility]]" line. |
| 668 | -->'''Holokara:''' Bad call, comic. Don't remind people of better comics they could be reading instead of this. Instead of reading about some psychotic killer, they could be reading Amazing Spider-Man, which at the time was introducing Carnage, a psychotic killer... My point still stands. |
| 669 | * Holokara's counterarguments against each and every one of Todd Loren's 'problems' with superhero comics, demonstrating how Loren clearly had no idea what he was talking about in that passage. |
| 670 | ** Except when he gets to the complaint that comics use the same gimmicks over and over, and he's forced to concede the point. |
| 671 | ** He also skips over the one about the prevalence of "the Marvel way". The bit below the list makes clear that by "the Marvel way", Todd Loren doesn't mean the writer giving an outline, the artist drawing the comic and the writer filling in the dialogue but instead means Creator/RobLiefeld-style artwork, which Holokara would wholeheartedly agree with. |
| 672 | * His absolute astonishment when Jeff goes to a White Castle and doesn't order the chicken rings, also serving as a good CallBack to the earlier parts of the current story arc where Linkara shared some with WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob on his journey. |
| 673 | * This: |
| 674 | -->'''Narrator:''' I want to tell you a story.\ |
| 675 | '''Holokara:''' [[WaxingLyrical Now, this is a story all about how]] / [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir My life got flipped, turned upside-down]]. |
| 676 | [[/folder]] |
| 677 | |
| 678 | [[folder:206: Marville #3]] |
| 679 | * Yet another Marville intro with a resultant hangover. |
| 680 | -->'''Holokara:''' [[LampshadeHanging ...I'M A HOLOGRAM! ...HOW DO I GET DRUNK!?]] |
| 681 | * Holokara still reacting to Creator/SpikeLee being the Kingpin by going outside while the end credits song in ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' plays in the background again. What makes it funnier is that he was in the middle of angrily explaining a part of the story the recap he was reading from got wrong, and as soon as he returns to the couch and picks up the comic, he launches back into it from where he left off as if nothing had happened. |
| 682 | * "What, you mean capturing a ''single'' high-profile criminal did ''not'' end crime and corruption forever and ever?! What a shocking revelation!!" (''FacePalm'') "Al… you know, I invented the word 'idiostuperiffic' to describe something as stupid as you, and yet somehow, that feels inadequate! You are ''super''idiostuperiffic!" |
| 683 | * The comic says plants shouldn't be eaten and should be treated like animals because they're living things. Holokara responds by angrily eating from a bag of lettuce... somehow. |
| 684 | ** Followed by TheStinger, where he picks bits of lettuce off the cushions and comments that this mess is why he doesn't do food jokes more often. |
| 685 | * Drunk [[DrunkOnMilk on Diet Coke]] 90's Kid, who is distraught that Creator/RobLiefeld is quitting the comic book industry. |
| 686 | * When Al decides to use his father's time machine, Holokara questions why he's still in the present buying mansions instead of just going home. This begins to irritate him further when Al explains what he's going to do: |
| 687 | -->'''Al:''' I'm going back to creation to find God and ask what gives.\ |
| 688 | '''Holokara:''' Um... ''no.'' Go home. Go home, Al. You have a time machine now. ''Go home.'' You have no reason to be here! You have no reason to ponder the meaning of life! Just go back to your own time! Go home! Time machine! Go back to the future! You have a time machine! EITHER GO BACK HOME, OR GO KILL HITLER! I DON'T CARE! JUST '''''LEAVE!''''' |
| 689 | * His reaction to "[[BlackIsBiggerInBed Like an African fertility god.]]" |
| 690 | * This line: |
| 691 | -->'''Holokara:''' So, our cast is naked in the water with God. This... this is a thing that is happening. |
| 692 | * Holokara's quip about "shrinkage" when going into water, followed by [[http://linkarafans.tumblr.com/post/31304847682/gif-still-of-linkaras-evil-grin-from-marville-3 this hilarious grin]]. |
| 693 | * Holokara referencing the Plot Hole from ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' and pondering where Lord Vyce is. |
| 694 | -->'''Vyce:''' Patience... patience...\ |
| 695 | '''[[VideoGame/Portal2 Space Core:]]''' SPACE! |
| 696 | * His reaction to only the fish having any format of dialogue balloon formatting and wondering what it thought that was so important. |
| 697 | -->'''Holokara:''' Oh, it turns out I was wrong! There are two thought clouds in the comic! They come from a fish. ''({{beat}})'' '''''A FISH!!'''''\ |
| 698 | '''Fish:''' If there's no God, then who changes the water?\ |
| 699 | '''Holokara:''' [[SarcasmMode Profound!]] |
| 700 | * Holokara [[BerserkButton being driven absolutely insane]] ([[AIIsACrapshoot well, not really, that comes later]]) by the comic's implications that evolution is nothing more than a senseless cycle of microbe death, and later bringing up a ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' clip parodying the same type of beliefs. |
| 701 | -->'''Holokara:''' Hey, Al, Lucy! ''(claps furiously for a couple seconds)'' [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech They're non-sentient, they're non-sapient]], ''[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech they don't even qualify as life]]''! |
| 702 | [[/folder]] |
| 703 | |
| 704 | [[folder:207: Tandy Computer Whiz Kids: The Answer to a Riddle]] |

| 706 | -->'''Snowflame:''' What has Snowflame dooooone? |
| 707 | * "Bill, do you ever feel like crying but you don't know why?" |
| 708 | * "I don't know. I think Marville proved you can hit rock bottom pretty quick." |
| 709 | * Holokara pointing out that the "riddle" in the comic was one of the drug dealers finding out his friend is having second thoughts. |
| 710 | * "The Tandy Computer Whiz Kids. *Beat* Also known as the TRS-80 Computer Whiz Kids. *Beat* Also known as the Children of the Damned." |

| 714 | * Holokara's constant riffing on the school's apparently horrendous financial decisions. |
| 715 | * Linkara (or, in this case, Holokara) finally manages to use a joke about the comic to segue into the commercial. When the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids tell their librarian to hurry up and uncover the surprise because "the suspense is too much." |
| 716 | -->'''Holokara:''' Oh God, I can't take it! I must know! ''(knocks over the camera. cut to static)''\ |

| 726 | [[folder:208: Batman: Jazz #1]] |
| 727 | * Linkara stops Holokara by simply commanding the computer to deactivate it. When Linksano reacts in shock, Linkara nonchalantly asks them if they were aware that they could just do that. |
| 728 | * The mind-boggling revelation that ''Batman: Fortunate Son'' was intended to be a ''positive tribute'' to Rock and Roll. |
| 729 | * Batman's introductory narration and all of the associated gags. |
| 730 | * When a gang member says the dictionary definition of jazz, Linkara mocks him by pretending to be a robot who studies the way of the human. |
| 731 | * Batman's awkward pose when he enters the jazz club, plus the FridgeLogic of why he didn't show up as Bruce Wayne or another less conspicuous identity. |
| 732 | * "My God, he's using his saxophone to vaporize people!" |
| 733 | ** "He's... he's playing {{Dubstep}} with a saxophone!" |

| 736 | * He reprises his complaint from the ''Batman: Fortunate Son'' review about how we're just supposed to [[TakeOurWordForIt take the comic's word for it]] that the music is amazing, comparing it unfavorably to the ''Series/DoctorWho'' Christmas special "[[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol A Christmas Carol]]": |
| 737 | -->"And when you hear ''that'' [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]], you can ''tell'' that it's [[ItMakesSenseInContext something that can control the weather and tame sky sharks]]. ...Don't ask, it's ''Doctor Who''." |

| 743 | ** Also the stinger at the end showing the first appearance of The Thing with Mike from ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' (in an audio clip from ''The Film Crew'' riff on ''Killers from Space'') singing in the background: |
| 744 | --->"It's time to face your maker, on the Muppet Show tonight!" |

| 752 | * When a character says "Now comes Miller time." and the Miller Time theme plays. Linkara then flings the "Miller Time" card away and says Frank Miller would turn The Thing into a woman who bites off a man's penis while they're having sex or something while repeating the same three lines of dialogue over and over again.[[note]]Which is actually kind of HilariousInHindsight since that description (minus penis-biting) pretty much exactly describes the third ''The Thing from Another World'' miniseries, ''Eternal Vows''.[[/note]] |
| 753 | * His response to the Navy Seal team leader saying to [=MacReady=]: "You're really going all out with this alien thing aren't you." It's about 20 beats of absolute shock and silence. |
| 754 | -->'''[[Film/AlienResurrection Johner]]:''' Haven't you been paying any attention today? |

| 762 | * Linkara tries to make a joke that if the Thing is shown Toddlers in Tiaras, it will immediately surrender itself, but then realizes that the joke doesn't make sense since the story takes place in the 80's. He tries to think of a good 80's equivalent, but then ends up calling WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob for help. Snob lists off a bunch of 80's references and Linkara goes with ''Series/Galactica1980''. Linkara resumes the review but then realizes that he can call for help to escape his house, only for his cell phone to suddenly have no signal. |
| 763 | ** Bonus points: this is a CallBack to the Snob's review of ''Golden Girl'', where he called Linkara for help with a ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference. |
| 764 | ** The Snob's ring tone is "It's an Inky-Dinky-Doo-Da Morning" from ''Nudist Camp of the Dead''. |
| 765 | * [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment FUSE BOX COUNT: 1]] |
| 766 | * Linkara complaining about the submarine emerging from underneath the ice, [[ArtisticLicenseGeography despite the fact that there should not be any water underneath the ice for the submarine to emerge from]], then deciding there's one good thing about the submarine emerging: [[RuleOfCool It looks]] [[SceneryPorn AWESOME.]] |

| 773 | * He starts the review by talking about all the [[BlatantLies good times]] he's had on this show. [[DescriptionCut Cut to a montage of him screaming about how comics suck.]] When we get back to present-day Linkara: |
| 774 | -->'''Linkara:''' '''''WHY THE HELL AM I STILL DOING THIS?''''' |
| 775 | * The title card: Linkara and Spider-Man are in jail with The Thing from Starstream #1 sitting between them playing a CaptivityHarmonica. |
| 776 | * Linkara sums up Dr. Judas Traveller, the villain of the story, quite nicely with a quote from ''Series/{{Scrubs}}''. |
| 777 | -->'''Dr. Cox:''' For the love of God, are you a real doctor or a doctor like Dr. Pepper is a doctor? |
| 778 | * All the stuff with Phelous as "Mysterior" and "Mr. Enigma" ranting about how "mysterious" he is. |
| 779 | ** That the costumes are nearly identical aside from the face mask (and are both terrible) makes it even better. |

| 786 | * The title card, with Linkara as Homer, Harvey Finevoice as Marge, 90s Kid as Bart, Dr. Linksano as Lisa, and The Thing from Starstream #1 as Maggie. |
| 787 | * Lisa tells Bart that they need to warn everyone about Bob, but Bart says that [[AdultsAreUseless adults won't listen to them because they're kids.]] |
| 788 | -->'''Linkara:''' She's right, y'know. When I was a kid, I warned people that Creator/DanielTosh was coming, but nobody ever believed me. |

| 799 | * Concluding that Creator/RobLiefeld might actually be someone from the UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks flung into the future, based on the first image of the comic proper. |
| 800 | * Jay Garrick works to 3:30 in the morning and declares that he [[EverybodySmokes needs a smoke]]. |
| 801 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[ValuesDissonance Oh, 1940's. Don't ever change.]] |

| 804 | * Jay uses his newfound SuperSpeed to become a football star at his college, which also causes his crush to want to go out with him. |
| 805 | -->'''Linkara:''' WithGreatPower, there must also come... a hot date and the accolades from your peers. |
| 806 | * His reaction to the villains' names: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Siuer Satan and Duriel]]. |
| 807 | * Linkara imagining that Satan "cracking under the pressure" is Mephisto feeling forced to give back Spider-Man's marriage, and how he reacts. |
| 808 | [[/folder]] |
| 809 | |
| 810 | [[folder:215: Tales of Suspense #39 (Iron Man)]] |
| 811 | * The original suit. What's so funny about this? Linkara calls it a "silver jack-o-lantern" and demonstrates by squeezing his eyes and mouth shut, while growling out in a weird voice "I... am... Iron... Man". One of those things you have to see to get the humor of, but still hilarious. |
| 812 | * When Linkara reads what some guys are saying about Tony Stark: |
| 813 | -->'''Guy:''' The Commies would give their '''eyeteeth''' to know what he's working on now!\ |
| 814 | '''Linkara:''' Eyeteeth? What the hell are eyeteeth supposed to be?\ |
| 815 | ''[cut to a picture of the character from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' with sharp teeth for eyes]''\ |
| 816 | '''Linkara:''' Oh my God, the Corinthian! |
| 817 | * Linkara brings back the Drunk Tony Stark voice, and it makes the dialogue hilarious. He takes it up to eleven with ''lots'' of "Tony is drunk" jokes as well. |
| 818 | ** Tony informing the villains that he'll need a martini IV after he pretends to agree to work for them in return for them saving his life. |
| 819 | ** When he meets Professor Yinsen: |
| 820 | --->'''Tony:''' Professor Yinsen, in college I read your books! You were the greatest ''[drunkenly attempts to pronounce physicist]'' physicisy... physididy... [[BuffySpeak science guy]] of all! |
| 821 | ** When the guerrillas are trying to break into his room, Tony thinks to himself that he needs to conceal himself. |
| 822 | --->'''Linkara:''' ''[as Tony]'' Good thing I installed that cloaking device! Oh, wait. That was just a hallucination after the third bottle of vodka. |

| 827 | * After blowing up the guerrilla camp, Iron Man thinks to himself that he's set Wong-Chu's prisoners free. |

| 841 | '''Linkara''': Kid, you're not allowed to talk anymore. |
| 842 | * Pretty much everything involving Aqualad. In the credits, Linkara refers to him as "[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries a freaky fish guy]]". |
| 843 | * Linkara asking where all the signs are coming from only to find himself holding a sign saying, "Bring back Danny Chase". |
| 844 | * When Robin helpfully explains that a note ''had'' to be forged, because no ''real'' teenager would say "music," [[TotallyRadical they'd say "jive"]]: |

| 850 | * A caption on the cover claims the Hulk to be "The strangest man of all time" and Linkara tells the Sixties that they ain't seen nothing yet and proceeds to play a clip from ''Film/TheRoom2003'' with the caption "Tommy Wiseau is the Hulk!" |
| 851 | * This bit: |
| 852 | -->'''Comic:''' Miles away, behind solid concrete bunkers, a nervous task force waits for the Gamma-bomb's first awesome test firing!\ |
| 853 | '''90s Kid:''' DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! The test firing of this Gamma-bomb is gonna be AWE-SOOMME! |

| 855 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as Ross]'' Rip and tear! Rip and tear your guts! When you become the Hulk, you'll be huge, and that means you'll have huge guts! Also you'll be radioactive! That can't be good! |
| 856 | * Linkara takes a moment out of the review to have a brief rant about the stigma against female geeks which had recently arisen when the video came out. He follows it up by saying... |
| 857 | -->'''Linkara:''' What is this I'm sitting on...? ''[reaches behind his back]'' Oh! [[VisualPun It's a]] [[SoapboxSadie box of soap!]] |
| 858 | * After Bruce Banner gets hit by gamma rays, Linkara shields himself thinking the rays will hurt him. He's relieved nothing happened to him until a few seconds later, the screen goes negative and he freaks out. |
| 859 | * When Igor reveals that he has hidden transistor radios to communicate with his Soviet superiors: |
| 860 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''Transistors?!'' ''[angrily shakes fist in air]'' ''[[CallBack DAMN YOU, TONY STAAAAAAARRK!!!]]'' |

| 864 | [[/folder]] |
| 865 | |
| 866 | [[folder:218: Superman's Christmas Adventure]] |
| 867 | * Linkara's utter bafflement of the cartoonish nature of the villains, from their ridiculous names (Dr. Grouch and Mr. Meaney) to the ridiculous extremes they go to in order to destroy Christmas including arson and murder. |
| 868 | ** This leads to this line: "Dude, give me something to work with here. [[YouNeedToGetLaid Have you just not gotten laid in a long time?]] [[Film/CitizenKane Were you separated from your beloved childhood sled?]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Are you really constipated?]] What is your problem?" |
| 869 | ** And later saying that he'll accept them being servants of [[Series/PowerRangersSamurai Master Xandred]] as an explanation. |
| 870 | --->"It makes more sense than anything else about these characters." |
| 871 | ** To that end, he is appalled by Santa giving them gifts, which Superman questions... |
| 872 | --->'''Santa:''' It's the Christmas spirit to forgive your foes!\ |
| 873 | '''Linkara:''' ''[[HaHaHaNo (laughs, then becomes enraged)]]'' [[SuddenlyShouting THEY TRIED TO MURDER PEOPLE!!]] |
| 874 | * Responding to the opening narration about how hardly possible it seems that someone would want to ruin Christmas, Linkara contradicts this by saying that, in actuality, Christmas specials have shown ''plenty'' of people out to destroy Christmas: [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Scrooges]], [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas Grinches]], [[Film/SantaClausConquersTheMartians Martians]], and concludes that ''that's'' the real war on Christmas. |
| 875 | -->"Just imagine all these curmudgeonly individuals gathering together, Legion of Doom-style, in a big hall, and sharing plots to eradicate any joy and good will." |
| 876 | * Superman, bully of ungrateful children! |
| 877 | ** Superman, defender of truth, guardian of justice, kidnapper of children! |
| 878 | *** All said with the John Williams Superman theme in the background. |
| 879 | *** Of course, this is a continuation of the RunningGag from the Superman #701 review. |
| 880 | * Santa's workshop is apparently making a lot of Superman toys. |
| 881 | -->'''"Santa":''' Superman is a cashcow, gentlemen. I'm raking in the dough! Hohohohoho! |
| 882 | * At the start, he brings up how last year he reviewed the Star Trek 2 comic instead of anything Christmas related. Then admitting it was a mistake after a cutaway to his rant towards [[BerserkButton the comic's handling of the famous "KHAAAN" scene.]] |
| 883 | * Linkara's CallBack to Superman's infamous "Over there has to stand for itself" speech from Superman #701. |
| 884 | [[/folder]] |
| 885 | |
| 886 | [[folder:219: Archie Giant Series Magazine #452 ]] |
| 887 | * Due to the review taking place in a flashback to when Linkara met Harvey, Linkara does the review in his old house. Or, at least, a green screen version of his old house since he moved a few years before this review was made. It's extremely obvious. |
| 888 | -->'''Linkara''': [[LampshadeHanging I hope I never have to leave this wall. Imagine me doing this show without it.]] |
| 889 | ** Also due to the flashback quality, Linkara uses the original opening video for the series, back from the 2009 season. |
| 890 | *** This becomes MORE funny when you do [[FridgeLogic some thinking]] and realize that since this review takes place in 2009, before he started filming [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/double-feature-7/ the prologue of his "Amazon's Attack" reviews]] and ''before'' he used opening videos, this '''shouldn't have happened'''. |
| 891 | ** And it starts out with a camera filter replicating the terrible one-sided lighting he started out with, and a {{Dull Surprise}} delivery. He then promptly decides to fix both of them. |
| 892 | * The cameo by the Nostalgia Critic, who is now a Ghost of Christmas Past. |
| 893 | ** Harvey bitching at Critic for his rumpled suit, and Critic's offended reaction. |
| 894 | ** Also Critic now also being the Ghost Of Christmas Past on the side along with being the plot hole. |
| 895 | ** Harvey's reaction to Critic dramatically materializing in his hotel room... is to put him in a headlock. |
| 896 | ** Harvey argues that the Christmas Past that Linkara saw last time looked different: |
| 897 | -->'''Critic''': There's more than one of us, you moron. It's not like fucking Santa Claus. There's not, like, one person who can go around see every jerk for being a jerk in one night! |
| 898 | * "[[WaxingLyrical All he wants for Christmas are his two front teeth, huh?]] Yeah, I know the feeling, Jughead. I think I'll start singing now, too. ''[[Music/BryanAdams ONE NIGHT LOVE AFFAIIR~!]]"'' |
| 899 | * Linkara commenting that Reggie's laughing at one point seems more like he needs a throat lozenge. |
| 900 | * When Linkara notices that the artwork depicts clear and bright weather despite it being winter, he wonders what other Christmas stories do this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gIpuIVE3k He then plays this clip.]] |
| 901 | -->'''Linkara:''' THAT DOESN'T COUNT! |
| 902 | * Linkara's amazement at the pet store that doesn't sell partridges, but does have practically every other bird imaginable: |
| 903 | -->'''Linkara (as the pet store lady):''' Yes, we sell ''vultures'' but not partridges. (''beat'') We're a very strange pet store. |

| 905 | |
| 906 | [[folder:220: Teen Titans #13]] |
| 907 | * His increasing annoyance with Aqualad's constant Burt Ward-esque catchphrases during the climax. |
| 908 | -->'''Aqualad''': Howling Hogfish!\ |
| 909 | '''Linkara''': Aqualad... hogfish don't howl.\ |
| 910 | '''Aqualad''': Suffering sticklebacks!\ |
| 911 | '''Linkara''': Aqualad, stop shouting catchphrases!\ |
| 912 | '''Aqualad''': Moaning mackerel!\ |
| 913 | '''Linkara''': Annoying Atlantean! |
| 914 | * In the opening narration, the comic instructs the reader to "deck yourselves with boughs of holly." Linkara then proceeds to [[LiteralMinded hit himself with a wreath.]] |
| 915 | ** Later, Robin orders his team to "bug out." Linkara responds in a similar manner, holding his eyes open to look bug-eyed. |
| 916 | * Linkara is utterly flabbergasted that the crooks have a device that changes junk into new material and use it for criminal activities instead of patenting it, and also says that they aren't even doing anything wrong. |
| 917 | * His frustration at how improbable the Christmas Carol parallels are, even bringing up when ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol did it]], the recreation was part of the Doctor's plan. |
| 918 | * Harvey Finevoice's freaked-out reaction to coming back from a commercial. |
| 919 | -->'''[=Harvey=]:''' ''(horrified)'' What the hell just happened?\ |

| 923 | |
| 924 | [[folder:221: Batman: Noel]] |
| 925 | * In the comic, Batman decides to use a criminal as bait to find out the Joker. The problem is the word choice he picked. |
| 926 | -->'''Batman:''' You should be going to jail tonight. Consider yourself lucky that you make a better piece of '''''live''''' bait than '''''jail'''''bait.\ |
| 927 | '''Linkara:''' Uh... Bruce, ya wanna rephrase that? Or was it your intention to infer that he isn't an attractive seventeen year old girl? |
| 928 | * Linkara points out that the only thing on the cover that has to do with Christmas is the snow, and by that logic, ''VideoGame/SilentHill1'' is the greatest Christmas story ever. As evidence, he shows a picture of Pyramid Head wearing a Santa hat. |
| 929 | * The Joker plays the role of the Ghost of Christmas Future in the story -- appropriate, since the Ghost is typically associated with the Grim Reaper, and "Who else better personifies Death in the Batman universe than the Joker?" The footage then cuts immediately to [[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Lord Death Man]]. |
| 930 | -->'''Linkara:''' THAT DOESN'T COUNT! |

| 938 | ** Sadly, the joke is diminished in the [=YouTube=] version, as the rendition of [[Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol "A Thankful Heart"]] is removed due to copyright. |
| 939 | * This bit: |
| 940 | -->'''Narrator:''' Scrooge thought about the "vision" he had the entire evening. He couldn't get it out of his head.\ |
| 941 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Why was that Jason Todd wearing pants? He never wore PANTS in his Robin outfit. |
| 942 | * BECAUSE POOR LITERACY… STILL HAPPENS IN GOOD STORIES. |
| 943 | * "He's a cowardly criminal degenerate, and I WILL DESTROY HIM! *Rabid Batman growling*!" |
| 944 | * When the Joker says he, too, has a bag of gifts. |
| 945 | -->'''Joker:''' Wanna know what I got here for you and your old man?\ |
| 946 | '''Linkara (as Joker):''' I got you... [[TakeThat a snuggie]]!\ |
| 947 | '''Linkara (as Timmy):''' You ''are'' a monster! |

| 950 | [[folder:222: The Next 15 Screw-Ups of AT4W]] |
| 951 | * The fact that the real reason why he never burned ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' was because he ''ran out of time making the review''. |
| 952 | * Lindsay's cameo ending with Linkara asking for his Supergirl comic back and her responding that he'll get it back by the next anniversary special, of which there won't be, and how Lindsay escapes when Linkara realizes what she said. |
| 953 | * Since the Nostalgia Critic retired, Douchey feels obligated to tell the other reviewers that the site sucks now since the Critic left. |
| 954 | -->'''Linkara:''' There are a bajillion other shows you could be watching on the site. Most of them are really good, and even the ones that aren't are still watchable. I'm looking at you, WebVideo/{{Welshy}}.\ |
| 955 | '''Welshy:''' Thanks. Though I can't really think of any of the shows you're talking about. None of them on the site are good, and that's why the site is dying if you believe the critics...and the people who work for the site, and the fans. Anyway, when is the next WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers [[ScheduleSlip coming ou-]] |
| 956 | * The way Linkara shuts Douchey up at the beginning: |
| 957 | --> '''Douchey:''' I wouldn't watch any of those worthless shows. Everybody but the Nostalgia Critic sucks!!!\ |
| 958 | '''Linkara:''' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Then why did you spend all your time complaining about him?]]\ |
| 959 | '''Douchey''': ''([[{{Beat}} tries to think of a response for a few seconds]])'' Doooohhh, I hate your voice. ''(cuts the transmission)'' |
| 960 | * "I'm not entirely certain how you people found my [[WholeEpisodeFlashback Archie Giant Series Magazine #452 review]]. I had completely forgot I had done that video, [[LampshadeHanging almost as if I only recorded it a few weeks ago]] [[SelfDeprecation when I was forty pounds heavier than I was in 2009]], but whatever, it's out there." |
| 961 | * Linkara doing a 'beyond Thunderdome' joke and then bringing up an on-screen counter showing he's currently losing to Spoony 5-2 when it comes to making Thunderdome jokes. |
| 962 | -->'''Linkara:''' Patience, my friends. I'll catch up eventually. |
| 963 | * On the pronounciation of Gloucestershire: "But come on, gimme a break here on this one. How was I supposed to get the real name out of its spelling? What the hell happened to the U in the middle of the word? They [[Series/WheelOfFortune bought a vowel]] and didn't know what to do with it!" |
| 964 | * When talking about ''Captain America: Return of the Asthma Monster'', he accidentally calls the comic ''Revenge of the Asthma Monster''. Causing the caption: "That's RETURN, not REVENGE. [[LampshadeHanging I make screw-ups]] ''[[LampshadeHanging in]]'' [[LampshadeHanging my screw-ups video!]]" |
| 965 | * Pointing out that, after not recognizing what a "coney dog" was in the Eminem/The Punisher comic, someone bought him one at a con, and he didn't like it. Followed by him saying that he rarely puts toppings on foods — he usually eats hot dogs plain, only wants cheese on pizza, usually makes sandwiches with only bread and meat, "and I would sooner set my cereal on fire than put milk in it." |
| 966 | * On having others pointing out that he didn't know the names of characters in a couple comics: |
| 967 | -->'''Linkara:''' Both of these reviews have a similar thing that people feel I did: failing to do the research. And ''to those people'', those ''frustrating commenters and viewers'', I have only '''''ONE THING TO SAY'''''… (''quietly'') Yeah, you're probably right." |
