26 | |
27 | ---- |
28 | !!Tropes: |
29 | * AgreeToDisagree: Half the panel is split on the artwork of Humberto Ramos. |
30 | * AprilFoolsDay: |
31 | ** Donovan wrote up a satirical review of Amazing Spider-Man #121 on April 1st, 2013, giving reasons why it was a bad story through poorly reasoned, highly nitpicking critiques. |
32 | ** Donovan and Stella faked a wedding for the purposes of The Batman Universe's website. Many people turned out to be fooled, and continued to congratulate the two a couple of months after the joke had been revealed. |
33 | * AscendedExtra: Half of the modern panel started out like this. Stella began as a guest spot and returned for a three-year run as a panelist. Bertone and Donovan made infrequent guest shots on call-in shows before both were added to the regular panel permanently. |
34 | * AsianSpeekeeEngrish: Bertone when impersonating Sha-Shan, although he's acknowledged and apologized to potential Asian listeners before doing it. |
35 | * AuthorAppeal: |
36 | ** Brad is a fan of the 1981 cartoon "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends". |
37 | ** Bertone and Donovan are big fans of the 90s Spider-Man show, so much that they'll reference it and quote obscure and irreverent scenes from it at the drop of a hat. |
38 | ** JR's second love after Spider-Man is Star Trek. George's #1 food is bacon. |
39 | * BerserkButton: |
40 | ** Episode #169 had Donovan get increasingly angry at the sexist treatment of the Black Cat in Daredevil vol.3 #8 that he eventually yelled at both the writers AND at Brad. |
41 | ** Bertone has a real dislike of useless hash-tags on comics, as well as pandering to the movie audience in comics. |
42 | ** Episode #260 had Kevin get into a heated argument with Brad over a Spider-Girl Halloween Costume. |
43 | %%* BlackAndNerdy: Donovan |
44 | * ButtMonkey: Zach for years, specifically when Stella joined the show. |
45 | * CatchPhrase: Stella: "Oh my Gosh". "Prison Ass" for Kevin |
46 | * TheCameo: Stella and Michael made surprise guest appearances during the 2012 Spider-Jeopardy show |
47 | %%* DeadpanSnarker: JR and Kevin usually. |
48 | * DoubleEntendre: Oh dear Lord, yes. Brad is especially fond of this, much to his panelist's chagrin. |
49 | * {{Fangirl}}: Stella is one for Iron Fist. Ashley is a Black Cat fan. |
50 | * GoshDangItToHeck: Stella was always the one panelist who would refrain from swearing. |
51 | %%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Bertone and Don |
52 | * HilariousOuttakes: Brad's famous call to JR's hotel room. |
53 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Donovan in episode #255 |
54 | * Irony: Stella left the Crawlspace and joined the Batman Universe around the same time that Bertone left the Batman Universe and joined Crawlspace. |
55 | * LargeHam: JR when he does voices. |
56 | * LoveToHate: [[invoked]] Bertone on Betty Brant full stop. This is mostly found in the Amazing Spider-Man Classics podcast where he reviewed the Steve Dito era, but he brought his hate of her to the Crawlspace through a series of articles about the relationship between Betty and Flash Thompson. |
57 | * RunningGag: Several. Taking a shot for mention of the Clone Saga, JR yelling when voicing Norman Osborn, Kevin and Brad disagreeing, Zach failing to answer when addressed, Brad promising to edit out a disturbance in the podcast when hearing him say he will in the episode proves that he hasn't. |
58 | * ShipperOnDeck: Brad usually notes whenever there's a scene between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson |
59 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Stella |
60 | ** As of summer, 2014, the Crawlspace panel began searching for a new female voice. |
61 | * TakeThat: |
62 | ** Literally invoked by Don when he used a phrase coined by Mark Waid about fans "wanting comics to go back to the way they were when Mommy was alive" when addressing the current regime at Marvel Comics. |
63 | ** "Take that Waid." |
64 | * TalkingToThemself: Stella 52's rap battle with Bubba Moose |
65 | * ThatCameOutWrong: Far too often |
66 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: George and bacon. Brad and Mountain Dew. |
67 | * TopTenList: Episode #252 listed the panel's favorite Spider-Man artists. |
68 | * WhenIWasYourAge: Frequently invoked, parodied and played with. Panelists in their 30s or older tend to reminisce back to the Spider-Man comics from the 80s. More recently the panel has pointed out how they try not to compare so much. |
