4	After WebAnimation/{{Spill}} went down due to its parent company's budget cuts, many on the Internet thought it was the end for Korey and the gang. But, as Korey made clear, [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/573779592/it-aint-going-down-like-that-korey-colemans-new-si It Ain't Going Down Like That!!!]] One Kickstarter campaign and $134,000 later, Double Toasted became the phoenix that arose from Spill's ashes.
5
6	Aside from the usual movie reviews, there were some of the old shows, albeit with different names. ''A Couple of Cold Ones'' became ''The Weekly Roast and Toast'', ''Let's Do This!'' became ''The Sunday Service'', and ''The Loading Bar'' became ''The High Score'' (and later ''8-Bit Crumbs''). Of course, the main people involved are Korey Coleman and Martin Thomas, there is a supporting cast of new critics thrown into the mix.
7
8	The groups rating system is the same as it was back when they were still Spill and is as follows:
9
10	* Fuck You!!! - An unofficial rating, the equivalent of the Better Than Sex rating for bad films. These films are so bad to the point of being offensive to the viewers and the DT crew, often in more ways than one.
11	* Some 'Ol Bullshit! - Films that are poorly made, or films that are simply bad but doesn't offend the viewers in any way.
12	* Rental - A subjective rating, usually it refers to a movie that is not good enough to see at a theater but is not terrible. Sometimes it just refers to a movie that can be viewed better at home (such as a horror movie or a comedy).
13	* Matinee! - Entertaining films with some jarring flaws that doesn't justify paying full price for, but still worth seeing at the theater.
14	* Full Price!! - Genuinely good films according to current standard, has little to no flaws.
15	* BetterThanSex! - The BrokeTheRatingScale rating, given for films which are beyond the expectation for a good film and magnificently set a new cinematic standard.

19	!!Tropes associated with the Double Toasted crew:
20	* AnimalsLackAttributes:
21	** Martin complained about this trope in ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', which [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten Korey immediately jumped on.]]
22	** When the trope was averted in ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets'', Korey suggested it as the reason why Martin gave the movie a Full Price.
23	* BerserkButton:
24	** For Korey, ''Alvin and the Chipmunks''. He's still ranting about it in the review for ''Film/Paddington2''.
25	** Double for Korey again during the ''Film/YogaHosers'' review. Especially in regards to nepotism and talented directors who put no effort in making a good film while aspiring filmmakers who do get overlooked.
26	** For the whole group, DawsonCasting, especially when the supposed "teenagers" are visibly older than the actual teenagers around them.
27	** Triple for Korey, offending his family in any way will not be taken lightly.
28	** Child abuse, as shown by the crew's reaction to the daddyofive controversy.
29	** While they all seem to have their own individual BerserkButton's, the one thing that collectively pisses them all off is any and ''all'' stereotypical depictions of Texas.
30	* BoomerangBigot: Referenced when Martin makes a [[NWordPrivileges racist joke]] about [[SassyBlackWoman Leslie Jones]] in ''Film/Ghostbusters2016''.
31	-->'''Korey:''' Excuse my racist—my self-hating black friend over here.
32	* TheBusCameBack: After much lobbying from former Spillios and current Toasties, Tony Guerrero, better known as Spill.com’s [[RobotBuddy resident robot reviewer]] Co-Host 3000, came back in the form of the BRAND NEW Sidekick 3K for [[https://doubletoasted.com/show/super-secret-free-show-10-28-17/ Halloween 2017’s]] [[AlliterativeTitle Super Secret Spooktacular Savings Special]]. Korey claims that after Co-Host was deactivated following the closure of Spill.com, he managed to pick up Co-Host’s most important parts, cobbled together a new robot body for him and reactivated him at the beginning of the show. As use of Co-Host’s previous floating head form would infringe on now copyrighted material, Korey incorporated these vital parts with a toaster, fitting into the toast theme of Double Toasted. Sidekick’s return was greeted with much applause and only time will tell if he will come back and stay for good.
33	* TheCameo: As of October 28th, 2017, the remaining members of the Spill.com Crew have appeared on the site at one point or another.
34	** Chris Cox, formerly known as the comic book-loving geek Cyrus, now runs [[http://oneofus.net OneofUs.net]] and pops in every so often, notably on the LiveActionAdaptation of ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017'' [[https://youtu.be/yndFajD0EiU review]].
35	** C. Robert Cargill, known as the snarky Carlyle, has become a Hollywood screenwriter after retiring from Spill in 2011 [[spoiler: (although even then he popped up for the [[https://youtu.be/5huO9qjrxew review]] of ''Film/{{Sinister}}'', which he co-wrote)]]. He made further appearance on DT during the [[https://youtu.be/S8QwwkUEwVg Sunday Service]] for Sinister 2 and [[https://youtu.be/eEpbUf8dGq0 an interview]] for ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', which he also co-wrote.
36	** Tony Guerrero, Spill.com’s Co-Host 3000, stayed in the shadows for almost four years. Guerrero didn’t transfer over to Double Toasted or One of Us and instead admirably chose to take care of his ailing parents, though word has it that they are in much better health. Guerrero, a reviewer dating back to Spill’s predecessor, The Reel Deal, when he was fresh out of high school, exclusively did reviews and the “Let’s Do This!” podcast with Korey on Spill until 2010, where he joined the rest of the crew and his presence on the site increased, which led to him becoming a fan favorite sitewide. Guerrero silently popped up and was videoed by fans at [[https://youtu.be/OTvy96KhfpY Double Toasted events]], one including him dancing at [[https://doubletoasted.com/show/the-sunday-service-live-free-show-500pm-cst/ Korey and Mia’s wedding]], and even in a [[https://www.facebook.com/DoubleToasteddotcom/videos/1637488146546898/ video]] on the site’s Facebook page, where he and Korey drunkenly address his absence and voices his support of the new site. Fans finally got what they wanted during [[https://doubletoasted.com/show/super-secret-free-show-10-28-17/ Halloween 2017’s Super Secret Spooktacular Savings Special]], where Guerrero was revived as the Sidekick 3K.
37	* CausticCritic: Korey becomes this at times, most notably with ''Film/JemAndTheHolograms2015'' and ''Film/YogaHosers''
38	-->'''Korey''': I paid for this shit! I paid 11.22! I know how many cents I paid, I paid 11.22 for me, I paid 11.22 for my girlfriend, I mean fiancee, I paid 11.22 for her fucking friends because I was drunk and high! I paid because one of the dudes was Canadian so I was like let me do you a favor! I paid 11.22 for him! points at Goodwin I paid almost 50 fucking dollars out of my pocket to give this a fair shake. I paid 50 dollars to say FUCK YOU then.
39	* ComedicSociopathy: [[https://youtu.be/nijsGqC6L5k?t=2m15s As demonstrated]] in the ''Trailer Talk'' for ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOBatmanMovie'', where Alfred startles Batman and pays the customary penalty for doing so.
40	-->'''Korey''': When he knocked the fuck outta Alfred, I said, "I love this! I love it!"
41	* DevilsAdvocate: Martin acts as this when he and Korey have different opinions on the subject matter at hand.
42	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In their review of ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', they treated the Hulk's being BroughtDownToNormal by the Black Widow like a guy who "finished" way too early.
43	* DudeNotFunny: Team Double Toasted's reaction to the entire [[https://www.theguardian.com/technology/shortcuts/2017/may/07/when-youtube-pranks-go-horribly-wrong daddyofive]] controversy.
44	* EveryoneHasStandards: While [[https://youtu.be/e3wD12fTsrA?t=7m43s showing]] a clip of [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Mickey and Minnie Mouse twerking]], Korey notes the unamused expressions of three children watching.
45	-->'''Korey''': Even the kids know, "This is so fucking wrong." One of them kids is trying to retreat up into that fucking bouncy castle...
46	* ExcusePlot: As noted in the ''Film/GodsOfEgypt'' review:
47	-->'''Korey''': We're here for the [[SpecialEffectsFailure special effects]], so let this dude come in, take over, and then we'll move on with him being evil.
48	* FantasticRacism: Since the majority of the cast has had experience with the real deal, they're usually the first to make a connection when something they review contains this trope. Generally PlayedForLaughs, especially when it came to ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}''.
49	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Korey and Martin.
50	* IncrediblyLamePun: Martin is known for throwing these out sometimes.
51	* INeedAFreakingDrink: Korey admits to showing up to some screenings drunk and/or [[TheStoner high]], usually when he's anticipating the movie sucking. There's a "No Drinking" rule on the show itself, but Korey makes an exception to swig some whiskey to get himself through the ''Film/{{Nine Lives\|2016}}'' review. Girts is visibly worried and casts an AsideGlance or two while remarking on Korey's alcohol intake.
52	* InsultToRocks: Korey thought ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFzAc2FNJVQ&t=973s Kinky]]'' was so bad that comparing it to Creator/TylerPerry or ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' was ''an insult to Tyler Perry and Fifty Shades of Grey''.
53	* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Invoked in the review of ''Film/BenHur2016'', when [[ItMakesSenseInContext Martin and Goodwin show up wearing the same shirt]].
54	* NWordPrivileges: Used, but not very frequently.
55	* OlderThanTheyLook: Korey is in his mid-forties, but manages to look like he's in his late twenties/early thirties.
56	* OneSteveLimit: Averted with Korey '''Coleman''' and Korey '''Goodwin'''. The latter goes through LastNameBasis as a result.
57	* PluckyComicRelief: Discussed with regards to Fred from ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'', where Martin compares him to [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Shaggy]] and Korey semi-seriously offers the theory that he's the group's weed dealer.
58	* RedOniBlueOni: Korey and Martin, respectively.
59	* RunningGag:
60	** Korey being a [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse "Marvel bitch"]]. It's reached a point where Korey feels obligated to take potshots at DC whenever the topic of superhero movies comes up.
61	** Korey's rather...unusual method of marketing DT merch. [[{{Squick}} "Have some of that toasty goodness comin' all over your body!"]]
62	** People in the chat ("the chat-a-tat-tat") posting "Fuck You, Korey".
63	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Korey admits it during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AtyV2SLsDQ this video]], where he compares a clip of him on a roller coaster to a clip of a reporter on the Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy\|2014}} ride.
64	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Martin and Korey, respectiely.
65	* StiffUpperLip: Invoked by Martin during the review of ''{{Film/Dunkirk}}'', where he describes the film's use of it as "Don't make a scene, old chap." Or as Korey put it, "That sucks, but that motherfucker's ''gone''."
66	* TheStoner: Korey Goodwin is a low-key pot smoker.
67	* TeamPet: Mojo, Korey's pet Chihuahua. Later replaced by Korey's other Chihuahua, Pixie, who is far more willing than Mojo to be picked up and mugged for the camera.
68	* TokenWhite: Frequently joke about Girts being one of these. Chris Herman took over this role in 2020.
69	* TooDumbToLive: Naturally invoked when they mentioned [[WesternAnimation/{{Moana}} Hei Hei]], where they talk about Maui has to guide him to the food and Korey suggesting that making him into a Chick-Fil-A sandwich would be a MercyKill.
70	* TorchesAndPitchforks: The Creator/ChristopherNolan fanboys from the ''Film/{{Interstellar}}'' review (Actually StockFootage from the original ''Frankenstein'').
71	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Downplayed; in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfW3cbhwmbM couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj29qT0G_MY videos]], Korey mentions that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones used to be acquainted with him and his family, and that he was generally respectful towards them. Nowadays, Korey thinks Jones is a fear-mongering scumbag.
