6
7	!!This review contains examples of:
8	* BrickJoke: Reappearance of the "4" prop.
9	* CallBack: His ringtone is the repeating laugh from ''[[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS3E40 It]]''.
10	* TheCameo: For this year's Nostalgia-Ween opening, WebVideo/JonTron appears to "kill" the Critic as revenge for having also reviewed ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}} Food]][[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS7E7 fight!]]''.
11	* ClickbaitGag: Played with. One of the horrible side-effects of the Stephen King Tropes is that all advertisement (clickbait or otherwise) talks only about [[LovecraftCountry Maine]].
12	* DiscussedTrope: The Critic accidentally summons the [[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Troperaiser]], who [[LampshadeHanging points out]] the tropes in the film.
13	** Stephen King Trope #127: [[ReligiousStereotype The Religious Nut]]
14	** Stephen King Trope #2647: [[DeepSouth Redneck Characters]]
15	** Stephen King Trope #36498: [[DeathByIrony Religious nut dies]]
16	** Stephen King Trope #385: [[StrawHypocrite Hypocritical faith]]
17	** Stephen King Trope #2: TwistEnding
18	** [[DrinkingGame/StephenKing Maine!]]
19	** One of the actors [[LargeHam over-acting]] (the waitress going crazy and yelling at the trucks "WE MADE YOU!!!").
20	* GoryDiscretionShot
21	-->'''Critic:''' Why are you looking at your hand while stabbing me?
22	* MoodDissonance: The "Stephen King Time" title card, which has a black-and-white cut-out of Stephen King -- one of the greatest authors of horror stories -- in front of a cheerful, colorful background with the sound of kids cheering.
23	* RunningGag: The Critic is still learning to balance manly violence with feminine elegance ever since his ''[[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS7E17 The Princess Diaries 2]]'' review by reading ''Literature/{{Emma}}''.
24	** The return of the "Zuul, Motherfucker!" (as "Zuul, mother-trucker!") gag, because of the appearance of a possessed Mack truck that has its bulldog hood ornament's eyes glowing red.
25	** "I just wanted someone to Creator/StephenKing right" (said by the man himself in the film's ad, because he was also the director).
26	* ShoutOut:
27	** The beginning, with [=JonTron=] murdering the Critic is a reference to the opening of ''Film/{{Halloween 1978}}'', where Michael murders his sister Judith.
28	** The whole point with the [[Film/{{Hellraiser}} Troperaisers]] (Cenobyte-type [[HumanoidAbomination Humanoid Abominations]] that worship Creator/StephenKing tropes).
29	** The critic calling the lead truck's Green Goblin face as something scarier [[Film/SpiderMan1 than what]] Creator/SamRaimi [[TakeThat cooked up]].
30	** The death threat of the OnlyMostlyDead religious fanatic ("You get me out of this ditch, or by Jesus ''I'll kill you''!") compared to the BigBad of ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' ("''You can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen''!") because they sound alike (that is, a high-pitched croak).
31	** The AlienSky of the green clouds that are constantly on the background (and which the Critic calls at one point as "the Earth farting") prompt a sketch during the night sequences of the movie of [[Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}} Gozer the Gozerian's]] [[INeedAFreakingDrink drunk]] sister mourning the other abomination's destruction at the hands of a bunch of comedians.
32	* SoBadItsGood: {{Invoked\|Trope}} with the Critic's final opinion on the film, believing that it's actually enjoyable as a B-movie.
33	* StealthParody: [[invoked]] The Critic theorizes that ''Maximum Overdrive'' was this.
34	* TakeThat:
35	--> '''Creator/StephenKing (on a cameo, dealing with a [[VengefulVendingMachine vengeful automated teller]])''': Honey! This machine just called me an asshole!
36	--> '''Critic (as wife)''': Obviously, it watched ''Series/UnderTheDome''.
37	--> '''(After a montage of Yeardley Smith's character doing a variety of high-pitched screams)''': You know, suddenly the idea of slitting my throat with her ([[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson's]]) spiky hair doesn't sound that bad.
38	** The review ends with The Critic and the Troperaiser discussing tropes normally used by Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio (which are just as annoying as the King ones).
39	* VisualPun: The {{foreshadowing}} is actually four-shadowing: A numeral 4 in a shadow.
40	* WackySoundEffect: The Critic dubs over the waitress's cartoonish performance with appropriate sound effects.
