1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The songs he uses in certain reviews are pretty entertaining, especially the outro music in his review on Lifetime Movies.
2* BrokenBase:
3** The ''"X SUCKS"'' series is either Ralph's best videos where he rips apart genuinely terrible films...or it's heavy on AccentuateTheNegative and comes off as a slog to watch. The later reviews (both in and out of the ''"X SUCKS"'') would slowly drop this, but would retain the same snark that Ralph is known for.
4** The "GHOST SHOWS SUCKS" review, except it's ''less'' the review itself and more the beginning of the review where Ralph furiously slams how "ghosts aren't real" and anything about the paranormal is a lie which some see as a BiasSteamroller. Actually lampshaded a few times in the tirade too.
5* CrossesTheLineTwice: From his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KaodqL5OQg#t=2m25s video on Minions (2015)]]: When going over movies corresponding to holidays, he mentions a movie for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That movie is ''Film/TheBirthOfANation1915''. Wrong? Yes. Funny? Yep.
6** In Ralph's review of ''Film/TheMummy2017'', Ralph highlights Creator/TomCruise's dedication as an actor by showing his reaction to the trailer for ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleFallout Tom Cruise Kills Himself 6]]''.
7** Ralph basically sees the "Weird News" segment of ''Scorch's PFG TV'' as this.
8** During his ''Film/Aladdin2019'' review, he starts eating a large container of Nutella, and says "I should've brought this out during [[Film/SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom Salò]]."
9* EnsembleDarkhorse: Macon, the LoonyFan and celebrity wannabe was a hit with fans. Ralph's impressive performance certainly helps, too. So much so that the AprilFools special starred him.
10* FandomRivalry: His fandom doesn't mix too well with fellow movie reviewer Nyx Fears, now after Nyx voiced on Twitter how she hates Ralph's content, especially when she commented to a fan's question and showed disdain at a review where Ralph went into a rant about female characters.[[note]]Nyx Fears a while back came out as transgender, and prefers female pronouns[[/note]]
11** Ralph's fans also don't get along well with horror movie reviewer Ryan Hollinger due to Hollinger criticizing Sepi for his immense CausticCritic attitude.
12** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara fans]] also don't get along with Ralph's fans mainly because Ralph decided to do a negative review on ''Atop The Fourth Wall: The Movie", which at some felt was just Ralph's way of joining in the drama surrounding Lewis and [=OneyPlays=] over a joke Lewis found unfunny.
13* FriendlyFandoms: With [[WebVideo/YourmoviesucksDOTorg Adam Johnson]]'s fanbase. Both creators have a tonal similarity even if their review styles are different and their fanbases overlap. Ralph and Adam now host a podcast with [[WebVideo/IHateEverything Alex from IHE]].
14* HilariousInHindsight: In his 2015 review of ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', he jokingly states that every scene with the Joker seemed like it was directed by Creator/MartinScorsese. Three years later, a Joker movie produced by Scorsese was announced.
15** Speaking of that review, Ralph's constant snark and mockery of Music/HildurGudnadottir's score for ''Film/Joker2019'' becomes this when the film ended up winning two Oscars, one of them being ''Best Score''.
16* MemeticMutation:
17** "THIS IS OUR LIIIIFE!!!!"
18** Jokes about him being "gay" due to the fact he makes jokes about it himself, such as in the beginning of his ''Mystery Diners'' review where he proclaims himself to be a "closet homosexual".
19** He pretty much is the reason ''Mystery Diners'' is a meme, similar to the aforementioned Adam Johnson with [[Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids Cool Cat]].
20** They got T!
21** Love on a Leash.
22* NightmareFuel:
23** Say it with us now! Growing up is great, growing up is lots of fun...
24** During his review of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' Cinematic Universe (Episodes 4-6), there are TWO sudden cuts to Ralph being beaten up by something off-screen and being suffocated by a plastic wrapper as he's gasping for help. It doesn't help that it becomes a BigLippedAlligatorMoment either.
25** The ending of the ''Film/{{Gotti}}'' review. [[ThoseTwoGuys Two mafia members]], played by Ralph, goofily go to Ralphthemoviemaker to assassinate them, telling them that Creator/JohnTravolta sends his regards. [[spoiler: Then [[MoodWhiplash Macon comes in]] and that's when things take a turn for the worst, namely, Macon shooting one of the mafia members in the face and then stabbing the other one while violently ranting to him about how "there's no life after death."]] Damn...
26** [[spoiler: Macon's return]] in the ''Film/Aquaman2018'' review, not to mention his EvilSoundsDeep voice.
27-->Lookie lookie what miss cookie brought in.
28** The ending to the Halloween review. It needs to be seen to be believed.
29* SpecialEffectsFailure: At the beginning of his ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' review, he has a scene where he sits on his couch talking to another character played by himself and you can tell he did a split screen for it, since his left elbow visibly vanishes when it shouldn't and reappears soon after. Ironic for someone who ''makes films''.
30* TearJerker: The ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'' review. Just the ''Justice League'' review.
31** Let's start off with Ralph, who has decided to take drugs and other harmful substances, eventually snapping at Macon when he asks him to do something. He clearly sounds (and looks) like he's at the end of his tether with it all.
32-->'''Ralph:''' Can't I relax for two seconds?! '''Without you guys fucking recommending a movie?!'''
33** Then there's the ending, where [[spoiler:Macon knocks Ralph out and rants at him for ending his series.]] What really sells it is Ralph's performance and how pained he sounds as both Ralph and [[spoiler: Macon.]]
34-->'''Ralph:''' [[spoiler: Macon]], I...I thought we were friends...
35-->[[spoiler:'''Macon:''']] [[spoiler: Oh, friends...! Oh, '''now''' we're friends! Before you called me a retard and whatever the hell, but now that I got you tied up, and it's revealed that I'm actually a badass motherfucker, '''NOW''' you're coming at me..."Oh Macon! Oh, you're such a good guy!" How about, you suck my balls?!!]]
36** And the final seconds of the video, when Ralph announces that he isn't ending his series and that he and the viewer are going to have a good time. The look on his face and the music makes the ending on par with the ending of a movie like ''Film/Oldboy2003''. He [[StepfordSmiler puts on a smile]] but it just about lowers the second the screen cuts to black. Oh, Ralph...
37** How about the ending of the Aquaman review? While it is mostly Awesome, NightmareFuel and Funny, there's something about the way Ralph asks [[spoiler: Bruce Willis]] "can you help me?" that sounds so tragic. He sounds like a poor little kid who can't find his parents.
38* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Macon [[spoiler:blowing up Ralph's apartment building after ascending]] at the end of the ''Film/TheCovenant'' review.
