Line #25 WebVideo/TheyMadeMeWatchThis


1	A video {{review}} series by Detroitmechworks, a single father, retired from the army, working through college, and has kids that make him watch their movies... which he then tears to shreds in his videos. Soon, people on the web asked him to review other movies, and he gets revenge by sending stuff back to them.
2
3	Two distinctive aspects of his show are that he specializes in reviewing ''{{Franchise/Barbie}}'' DirectToVideo films, and long rants at the end of his videos.
4
5	He took a hiatus from reviewing, until a ''Toys/{{Bratz}}'' animated film got him mad enough to review that as well. But stopped making reviews after doing a list of reasons why he didn't like the ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' films, and his Blip account was taken down in 2013.
6	----
7	!!Provides Examples Of:
8	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Loves to review movies this way InUniverse.
9	** In the Barbie films, Ken is gay along with any other flamboyant males, and any women talking about friendship are lesbians.
10	** He looks at the ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' as not just a bad movie, but a bad ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign, and even [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap makes Snails seem like the best character]][[invoked]], because he recognized the campaign as crap, and got out as soon as he could.
11	* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: Really called out ''Princess and the Pauper'' for having the kingdom rely on just one major source of revenue, and then doing it all over again.
12	* AuthorFilibuster: Posts long rants at the end of his videos, and has lampshaded that those are the parts where some can just turn the videos off.
13	* TheCameo: Has appeared in other videos, and gotten other people to appear in his videos, including The Makeover Fairy of ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick''.
14	* CausticCritic: He's not nice in his reviews of bad movies.
15	* ComicalOverreacting: Gets really enraged at any really stupid or pointless plot points, and freaks out when he realizes he's about to watch something horrible.
16	* DistaffCounterpart: {{Discussed\| Trope}} when he mentioned that WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic hired the Nostalgia Chick so he wouldn't have to to review all the girlie stuff. Then when he mentioned getting his own counterpart, he realized she would instead get to review all the action flicks, and then realized that was already [[Creator/AllisonPregler Obscurus Lupa]].
17	* DrinkingGame: Decided to make one out of the Barbie film cliches in the ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsThePrincessAndThePauper'' review.
18	-->"I'm gonna' be so wasted by the end of this."
19	* {{Fetish}}: Joked that anyone with an unmasking fetish would go nuts over the scene at the end of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheThreeMusketeers''.
20	* GenderBender: Actually became the [=FanFiction=] Critic on and off during his review of ''Film/DrJekyllAndMsHyde''.
21	* LampshadedTheObscureReference: Made a reference, and thanked the 1% of his viewers who would get it.
22	** And after comparing a character to Pantalone, "Yes, that was an obscure theater geek reference!".
23	* LesYay: InUniverse, he loves finding this in the Barbie movies, as it's one of the few points of real enjoyment he can get.
24	-->"Either way, it's [[FanFicFuel great]] for {{slash fic}} writers."
25	* MarySue: Gives quite a few InUniverse accusations, particularly to the Barbie films, and the empress of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' comes across as a GM's Mary Sue NPC.
26	* OhCrap: When he realizes he's going to watch something really bad.
27	* ReferenceOverdosed: Makes plenty of them in reviews, and the climax part in the review of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheThreeMusketeers'' is basically a cluster reference bomb.
28	* TheRival: WebVideo/TheFanFictionCritic. She sends him bad films, and he send her bad fics.
29	* SickeninglySweet: An InUniverse reference, where he claims part of the "past" segments in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInAChristmasCarol'' will actually hurt people with diabetes.
30	* TheThemeParkVersion: States that Paris in ''Barbie and the Three Musketeers'' is just "Barbieland" that [[InNameOnly is called Paris]].
31	* VillainSong: Found such a song in ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' the best part of that movie.
32	** But the song in ''Princess and the Pauper'' was lousy, which he attributed to Creator/MartinShort.
