29!!This review provides examples of...
30* ADayInTheLimelight: Walter and Heather usually don't have big parts in Critic's reviews, but since Critic was just over the target demographic of Toonami when it started, they, Malcolm and Tamara do most of the reviewing, knowing its shows much better than he does, and therefore being able to talk about them more in depth.
31* AttentionWhore: Critic desperately tries to get some screentime in this episode, despite the fact that he's been the main star ever since the series started, and this is one of the few times the others can get a bit more than they usually do.
32%% This doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Do NOT question ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'''s awesomeness in front of Walter.
33* CallBack: When Heather announces the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' anime, Critic confidently cuts-in, [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS6E13 saying he has already reviewed it]]. Heather responds that unlike him, she can cover it ''correctly'', earning a "sick burn" reaction from the others.
34* CrackOhMyBack: Parodied. Critic is so upset about being sidelined in this episode, he pretends to be a cranky old man, and when Walter starts dragging him to the couch, he screams about his brittle bones. Then he's told to cut it out, and he does.
35* LameComeback: After after a string of {{Animesque}} shows, Critic asks where are the actual anime, with the giant fighting robots, Heather shows him the title card of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', asking if he meant that one.
36-->'''Critic:''' No, not at all.\
37'''Heather:''' Oh... ''[{{beat}}]'' ...well, too bad.
38* RuleOfCool: Invoked. Critic talks at length about ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'', only to conclude it was just SoOkayItsAverage. When the others ask why does he talk about it then, he admits, it's partly because he wanted to talk about something he knew, and partly because it's intro was awesome.
39* SwappedRoles: After forcing Tamara and Malcolm to join him on his review of the ''WesternAnimation/DisneyAfternoon'' shows, and barely giving both them and Walter and Heather time with their shows on the ''Creator/FoxKids'' episode, Critic finds himself on the receiving end, as they force him to sit down with them for their review of Toonami.
