1->''I want somebody use his fuckin' brain to not come out of a goddamn record that's ''up-tempo'' and I gotta talk about '''A FUCKIN' DOG DYIN'!'''''
2-->-- '''Creator/CaseyKasem''', during a rehearsal for a radio program.

4->Film/BabysDayOut'' was a film about a baby crawling through a city on its own. It was a schizophrenic mess that couldn't decide whether it was a movie, a cartoon, or a snuff film for toddlers.''
5-->--'''Creator/{{Seanbaby}}''', [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-real-video-games-that-were-too-insane-to-release_p2/#ixzz31e5yxtyZ "6 Real Video Games That Were Too Insane to Release"]]

7->''Ever play with a dog that’s really happy and bouncy one minute, and the next minute he’s ripping your arm off and using it as a chew toy? This movie’s shifts in tone are kind of like that.''
8-->-- '''Website/TheAgonyBooth''', ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''
9
10->''This movie can't have it both ways. Either it's a silly, trivial work where [[RuleOfFun random cool-looking things can happen for no reason]], or it's a modern, dark, serious, psychological take on Batman and his adversaries. It's two totally different moods, vibes, plots, scripts... just going to war, and this film was the result.''
11-->--'''David Uzumeri''' [[http://comicsalliance.com/batman-returns-1992-review/ on]] ''Film/BatmanReturns''

13->'''Mike:''' [The film] had that kind of like, let's try and [[RuleOfCool be a wacky, fun]] [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel movie]], or an Franchise/IndianaJones-[[TwoFistedTales type film]]. And the [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror modern-day setting of Iraq, with like ISIS and terrorism and stuff]] just felt like a really big clash. Like I was like "Oh, this isn't 'fun'...''(Jay chuckles)'' [[DudeNotFunny This is awful]]."
14->'''Jay:''' This is a little city being ''bombed'' now, ugh...
15->'''Mike:''' [[FromBadToWorse And then they bring in the air strikes]]...
16-->--'''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag''' on ''Film/TheMummy2017''

18->''Helen tells Madea she did her best but Charles abused her both physically and mentally the past 18 years and due to the fact she signed a pre-nup she is not entitled to a dime. They go over and confront Charles and his skank and Madea chainsaws many of the pieces of furniture in half. Where Madea pulled a chainsaw out of I’ll never know... This is like watching an [[Film/ErnestPWorrell Ernest]] movie and having 10 minutes of Ernest with an hour and a half of melodrama about abortions.''
19-->--'''[[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Miles Antwiler]]''' [[http://moviemoses.wordpress.com/2010/09/27/diary-of-a-mad-black-woman-darren-grant-2005/ on]] ''Film/DiaryOfAMadBlackWoman''

21->'''Matt:''' It's parts like this that make me wish this whole movie was just pure farce. Jet Girl's plane having mechanical problems just [[ClicheStorm seems so manufactured]] when Tank Girl's grilling hot dogs on top of her tank and we just had a Bugs-Bunny-style photo shoot gag.\
22'''Chris:''' Yeah, it's all over the map in terms of tension. Like, not ten minutes ago, we had a crazy musical number because she was holding someone's haircut hostage, which came right after a little girl was [[PedoHunt almost molested by pedophile Iggy Pop]]. It's not just inconsistent, it's bipolar.
23-->--Chris Sims and Matt Wilson [[http://comicsalliance.com/comicsalliance-reviews-tank-girl-1995-part-two/ on]] ''Film/TankGirl''

25->''"So here the concept is that the Doctor is paralleled with Josef Mengele, only effective... The script tries to [[HandWave paper it over]] with the line about how "it would be so much simpler if I was just one thing," and this is a perfectly fair point when made at human beings, but equally, there's a perfectly reasonable response to be made, which is that, yes, it would be, because it would mean you could actually have been coherently and effectively characterized in the course of a forty-five minute story instead of just bouncing back and forth between two extremes."''
26-->-- '''[[http://www.philipsandifer.com/2014/10/youre-fast-becoming-prey-to-every.html Dr. El Sandifer]]''' on ''Series/DoctorWho'', [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E3ATownCalledMercy "A Town Called Mercy"]]

28->''Of course the Hub has a ruddy great '''''Pterodactyl''''' flying about the place! Fucks galore, rape allusions, throats torn out...and Pterodactyls? You can't on the one hand shine a light on [[CrapsackWorld the least salubrious aspects]] of life on Earth and then try and suggest the wonder inherent in it too. Everything Changes inharmoniously switches its emphasis throughout, tearing me in two incompatible directions.''

34-> '''Eleanor:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext I have all of your sperm]].\
35'''Charles:''' But you don't even ''care'' about it, Eleanor! Remember?! ''[Putting on an absurd high-pitched voice]'' "Oh hey, Charles! I'll ''never'' have a baby with you, because I don't love you, and a child's not going to fix that!"\
36'''Jake:''' ''[Taken aback]'' Oof. [[LampshadeHanging When he started doing the silly voice I thought it was going to be more fun, but... wasn't.]]
37-->-- ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', "Hostage Situation"

39->''It's a [[Theatre/TheComedyOfErrors Comedy of Errors]]\
40With the violence of {{Theatre/Macbeth}}\
41So cute and charming!\
42[[MoodWhiplash MURDER!]]\
43Zany, wacky, jokey!\
44DEATH!''
45-->-- '''{{Music/brentalfloss}}''' on ''VideoGame/AceAttorney''

47->Start [''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers''] and you step into a washed-out, rainy landscape, carpeted with realistic overgrown grass that blows aside to reveal the forgotten ruins of a once-great civilization, haunting music plays, and we feel exposed in an atmosphere of loneliness and sorrow. And then, scene set, we take control of [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal our blue cartoon mouse in sneakers]] with eyes the size of hubcaps. ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' has been the fucking emperor of tone issues for a long time now.\
48...\
49Thing is, though, when I pointed out that it felt tonally inconsistent to put Sonic the Hedgehog in fucking ''VideoGame/DeathStranding'', the Sonic fans in the comments, who I would call, in the nicest possible spirit, "a unique breed", were all like, "oh, I liked the theming! I think it's good that ''Sonic'' can have a maturer, introspective atmosphere to express a more complex dramatic range". And in reply, I look at them, and then I look at Sonic, and then I look at them again. And then I hold out my hands and say, "HE'S A FUCKING BLUE CARTOON MOUSE! IN SNEAKERS!" I mean, if you don't get my point here, I don't think I can explain it to you. It's like having to explain why you shouldn't remake ''Film/ChildrenOfMen'' with Creator/CliveOwen's character replaced with WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse.
