5!!This review contains examples of:
6* AccidentalNightmareFuel:
7-->Give me a mood, movie. Am I charmed by this, or frighteningly disturbed?
8** The question is quickly answered.
9-->So yeah, I don't really know what she was supposed to have done there, but apparently, it cheered the baby up. It would have scared the living FUCKOIDS out of me, but hey, maybe babies like random head-butting!
10* ActorAllusion: When Fujimoto is introduced, he's mentioned as being [[CelebrityVoiceActor voiced by]] Creator/LiamNeeson. Near the end, we get this bit of GagDub:
11-->'''Fujimoto''': Take care of Ponyo. [[Film/{{Taken}} But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.]]
12* AdultsAreUseless: One of his two pet peeves about the film is the mother's insane driving while Sosuke is in the car with her, as well as few other examples of parental negligence in the movie.
13* BigWhat: One can be heard at the end after the Critic insults ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle''.
14* BreatherEpisode: After the disgusting, triggering {{glurge}}-filled mess that was ''Film/PatchAdams'', the next review he did was this light-hearted and cutely bizarre film.
15* TheCameo: Nostalgia Critic wanted special cameos for his 200th episode. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor He got them]].
16** [[spoiler:WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd]] actually appears as one of the people beating him up during the end credits for implying that ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'' sucks.
17* DullSurprise: From Sosuke saying "That was weird" nonchalantly to the [[ItMakesSenseInContext waves with eyes]], to a little girl saying "Hey Sosuke, let's go play" in a rather bored voice, and Fujimoto emotionlessly saying "the planet is doomed".
18* LargeHam: "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!"
19* OhCrapSmile: Critic at the end right before he's mobbed by angry anime fans.
20* NoEndorHolocaust: All the people in the movie barely seem to register the fact that a large area of land is now under water.
21-->Boy, they sure are chipper for everything they've ever known suddenly being lost. In fact, a lot of people in this movie treat it like an inconvenience, like the power went out and it will just be on in a second. They don't act like they just lost their house and home.
22* PapaWolf: Critic calls out Lisa for driving wildly with her son in the car.
23* ShoutOut:
24** In reference to Sosuke's mother's [[DrivesLikeCrazy bad driving]], we hear someone shouting [[Film/AFishCalledWanda "Asshole!"]].
25** One scene is described as ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' as created by Creator/TimBurton.
26** Creator/UncleYo compares the movie's subplot to ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. The falling moon is even replaced by the freaky one from the same game.
27* SoundtrackDissonance: PlayedForLaughs during the end credits when the Critic is beaten up by anime fans while Ponyo's cute and cheerful theme is playing.
