->''Apparently the entire ["Enjoy the Ride"] campaign was sold on the anticipation of running [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8QKK5IDSXE [the Barbie] ad]] because Nissan was never able to top it; each subsequent "Enjoy the Ride" ad carried diminishing returns. Their Super Bowl spot was a flock of pigeon puppets trying to catch a Nissan so they could poop all over it -- it got mixed opinions. Eventually Mr. K's dog took over the campaign and the slogan sort of changed to "Dogs Love Trucks." And from there it withered and died.''

->''[Upper Ranks 4 and 5] just really felt easy for them, whereas last season, it took everything every character in the fuckin' cast had just to keep up with Upper Rank 6. They had to dig deep into their soul and go [[Franchise/MyHeroAcademia Plus Ultra]] 50 times and pull out a thousand [[Franchise/DragonBall Spirit Bombs]] just to get close to killing Upper Rank 6. And that was the entire cast there fighting, basically. You had Tanjiro, Nezuko, the Hashira Tengen, Inosuke, Zenitsu, all of them having to go way past their limit in order just to fight the brother-sister combo which was Upper Rank 6. THAT felt like "Holy shit, that's a big villain. That's a very strong villain." Here, it's just a nuisance''.

->''It seems like there will always be new Franchise/{{Batman}} cartoons and new movies offering up new approaches to the character. And Creator/DCComics will keep doing crazy new crap to Batman [[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison like pretending he's dead when he's really back in caveman times]]. The sad truth is that the pinnacle of Batman storytelling has already been reached, and anything that follows has been and will be but a shadow of perfection. The perfection of which we speak is ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

->''And Music/GwenStefani's case is an astonishing thing. When we met her in 2005, the release of her first solo album placed her in the absolute A-List of the stars of the time even though, by then, she had been active for a decade with Music/NoDoubt. But ''Love. Angel. Music. Baby'' sounded refreshing, effervescent, fun... placed her halfway between the pop artist with a sense of humor and the person capable of convincing those who listened to urban music through undisputed bops.\\
\\
She introduced herself, in fact, alluding to ageism with the frantic ''What You Waiting For?'', but single after single -and that album had lots of them-, she made clear that her project could give us a ''Cool'' and a ''Hollaback Girl''. And all her creativity was left there, by the looks of it. In a perfect first album that never had anything worthy of taking the baton from it.''

->"[[TopTenList Number 9:]] ''Film/GhostbustersII''. Whenever this movie comes up in a conversation, everybody's quick to dismiss it. It's definitely not as good as [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 the first]], but that was a tough act to follow. There's no way they could have matched the same level of charm and delicate humor a second time around. It just couldn't be done. But they sure tried."

->"When I see these figures together, I can't help but ask myself: Why does this even exist? I'm all up for more Megatron toys, official or third party. But if you're not even gonna try to top this figure, or at the very least learn from it, ...what the [[BleepDammit F**K]]?"

->"My biggest problem is that it's called ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4''. I'm not kidding, my biggest problem with this game is its fucking name. By making it a sequel to these gems right here, I think you're creating massive shoes to fill, and, in my opinion, it doesn't come close to doing that."
-->--'''WebVideo/SomecallmeJohnny'''

->"Though the presenters and mainstream media alike may continue to insist that the show is finally out of the shadow of its predecessor, the cold hard fact of the matter is that it isn't and never will be, for one simple reason. At its core, ''Top Gear'' remains a carbon copy of what it always was, but with softer edges. It doesn't seek to push boundaries in the same way that ''Top Gear'' used to."

->"Okay, so it's not the ''worst'' animated film out there, not even by [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation the studio's]] standards. So, why does it have all this hate? Well, you have to keep in mind about Shrek's popularity before ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'' came in. His peak was at the level that only very few animated franchises ever achieve. ''Shrek 3'' was possibly the most anticipated and hyped-up film of 2007. So, when audiences would discover that, between ''2'' and ''3'', Shrek would go from being great to mediocre, they were ''beyond'' disappointed; I would even say that they were ''betrayed''. I can speak, as a witness, that it was at this point that the Shrek craze as 'the beloved animated film series' was pretty much dead."

->"Let’s put it this way: it would even be more enjoyable and pleasurable if I had announced my retirement from the business, but, since I want to go on and do other things after this, human nature being what it is, you think "How am I going to top this?". Really, the odds are I’m not, ever."

->I sometimes consider going back to making webcomics, but ''AMD'' would always be hanging over my head. Even when I did ''Zombies of the Living Dead'' - which is only like twenty comics - I had people yelling at me every day because I was wasting my time with that and not with finishing ''AMD''.
