51** Arthur tries to do his Bette Midler impression in the middle of the review.

59'''Arthur (excitedly)''': [[MoodSwinger It's Christmas time! Oh boy!]]
60** Followed by Il Niege shooting down every idea he has for a Christmas review because they were already done already. So they review [[spoiler: Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff]].
61** Once they realize that the movie has elements that everybody can enjoy, they decide it secretly is a real Christmas movie.
62** Arthur cites the theory that [[spoiler: Cameron is dying, made up Ferris, and passes on when he pushes the car through the window]] which pushes the movie's concept into territory so dark that "The Christmas Shoes" starts playing.

64* Arthur going through physical pain at the cliche that Lord Nekros is [[spoiler: [[LukeIAmYourFather his brother Caesar]]]].
65-->'''Arthur''': [[spoiler: I am related to that asshole!]]
66** He then goes on to guess the entire storyline, pissing off the narrator and apparently ruining a season's worth of buildup.
67-->'''Ivan''': Sooo now you know the big plot reveal. What're you gonna do?\
68'''Arthur''': Honestly it doesn't change shit. Same basic story line. Except now I get to be [[spoiler: [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker]]]]. *''{{beat}}''* Bitchin'!

71** [[WebVideo/AnimatedAnalysis Stephen]] cameos as J. Jonah Jameson.

74-->'''Arthur''': Why are we scared of this guy again?
75** Chris and Derek attempt (and fail) to make Ivan and Arthur wonder what the Geekverse is in an attempt to channel Film/TheMatrix. Derek just did it to get a cameo.
76* The framing device of the ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' trilogy: a TemporalParadox has caused the personalities of the Geekvision producers to flip.
77-->'''Il Niege''': But amazing as it is, ''Film/Eragon'' doesn't come close to replacing my true favourite, [[Literature/{{Twilight}} The Twilight Saga]]. I am just so overcome with love for this series that my excess love flowed out of me and took on physical form. And here's here today! Introducing, Il Niegeward!\
78'''Il Niegeward''': I like to watch you sleep.
79** Ivan and Arthur speaking in temporally-displaced dialects.
80** Arthur attempts to promote Sack o' Mana, the new Paladin energy drink, and making a bunch of gay euphemisms by accident while doing so.

85* Arthur and Ivan doing Minnesotan accents throughout the ''Film/{{Fargo}}'' review.
86** Because they're not a thinking show, they outsource the highbrow jokes.
87-->'''WebVideo/TheObscure''': Oh yeah, ''Fargo'', a very historically important film because of the...stuff, and the...things...ah fuck it, we're gonna talk about something more insightful like the works of John Ruskin nah like Magic Eye! ''Stare at it''.
88* The LockAndLoadMontage at the beginning of ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''. Complete with Arthur shaking his ass.
89** The two start laughing at how camp their show is, before devolving into weeping.
90* Dubbing [[Film/{{Highlander}} the Kurgan]] over [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Mr. Krabs]], as they were voiced by the same actor.
91* [=TBelle=] as the PirateGirl Isabella, with a thick pirates accent.
92** Arthur mentions a black spot on the movie, then offhandedly mentions to Ivan that he doesn't mean it [[MistakenForRacist like that]]. It's Ivan's hilariously over-the-top :O face that sells it.
93** Arthur cheekily telling Isabella that she's going to give his sword back, and Isabella cheekily refusing, all while whimsical music plays in the background. Until...
94-->'''Arthur''': I have [[spoiler: a nuke aimed at your position.]]\
95''*music stops*''\
96'''Isabella''': What?\
97'''Ivan''': What?
98* His review of ''Film/Beetlejuice'' ends with him controlling WebVideo/SomeJerkWithACamera to dance to "The Banana Boat Song". It became quite a bit funnier when Jerk revealed on twitter that there was supposed to be a montage of dancing reviewers, and instead he was the only one shown.
99** Ivan's letter explaining why he has left Arthur for the time being, which tells Arthur "tough shit buddy" if he thinks he's not ready yet.
100** Arthur dancing to "Stifle That Blob and Get Low".
101* ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''
102** Arthur panicking when he realizes his meta-humour could be seen as a rip-off of Disney doing the same thing in the titular movie.
103** Puppy!Arthur struggling to answer his phone without any opposable thumbs.
104** This exchange:
105-->'''Nekros''': How are you enjoying your time as a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]]?\
106'''Arthur''': Oh yiff off!
107* During the Film/DieHard review, Arthur and the Narrator wonder if the former's powers are tied to his blonde hair. Then Arthur reminisces about how sexy he looked as a blonde.
108* Arthur states that there's one thing the remake of ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'' got right: both movies slowly peel back the layers of the plot to reveal something more horrifying. In [[Film/TheWickerMan1973 the original]] it's the plot twist, in the remake it's [[spoiler: Creator/NicolasCage himself]].
109** His glee at Creator/ChristopherLee dancing in drag, followed by wishing he looked as good in drag as Lee does. And then glee again at being better dressed than the other dated sixties fashions.
110** Censoring out the female naughty bits with disco balls. And then explaining why.
111-->'''Arthur''': I don't find them appealing. At all. I like the penis.
112* In the review of ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTheMovie'':
113** Arthur and Ivan going TotallyRadical about the film. Then Arthur going too radical and shifting into [[Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure another series entirely]].
114** The continued references to the AccidentalInnuendo throughout the film.
115** Arthur wanting to cut the review short out of boredom, Ivan bemoaning the wasted years of training, and Arthur retaliating with the claim that Ivan's just jelly that he's not the Chosen One.
116** TheStinger: Ivan points out that he's never seen Arthur and Nekros [[ActingForTwo in the same shot]], and wonders if Arthur actually has an evil split-personality thing going on.
117-->'''Arthur''': Funny you should mention that. See, a long time ago, the entire Geekverse existed within a child's snow globe...\
118'''Ivan''': ''Hell'' no! We are not doing Series/StElsewhere!
119* "[[Film/Ghostbusters Boo-B-Gone]], we get your spectre expacterated."
