Night of The Lepus
- As the film features DeForest Kelley in a prominent role, Phelous repeatedly splices in footage from the Star Trek episode "Shore Leave", specifically the scenes involving Doctor McCoy's encounter with the white rabbit. The effect is hilarious.
- "And people outside have spilled red paint on themselves. Or the rabbits got them. Which sounds sillier?"
I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer
- The increasing tone of This Is Gonna Suck that creeps into his voice as he repeatedly asks "This is a comedy, right?", since he just can't believe a movie with a title this stupid would be a serious horror flick.
- This dub of the scene where a man playing with a knife gets his hand impaled on a stake:Phelous (as Killer): You call this a knife? THIS is a knife!
Phelous (as Victim): That's not a knife, that's a stake!

Cabin Fever 2
- This part:John: You know I can't leave [Alex]! You know that!
Cassie: Well, let's just go and get him, then!
Phelous: I'M TRYING TO BE DRAMATIC! Don't be all RATIONAL about it!- Him going Laughing Mad during the scene where Cassie amputates John's infected arm is also pretty good.
- "So, you're probably wondering why [Paulnote ]'s still alive... (long ass Beat) (shakes head, shrugs)"
- This bit:Guy: How are you gonna pass up Bride of the Cannibals 2: The Director's Cut for a gay dance?Phelous: Well, I imagine it's better than Cabin Fever 2.
The Blade Master
Hostel
- "So we start the movie with a bunch of unlikable jackasses looking to do nothing else but party and have sex. Oooops, that was Cabin Fever again. On to Hostel: So we start the movie with a bunch of unlikable jackass looking to do nothing else but party and have sex."
- Phelous rather toasty Take That! to Eli Roth's response to the Slovak politicians expressing offense over the film's portrayal of their country.Phelous: Roth countered this by saying that Hostel "aims to show Americans' ignorance of the world around them." Yeah, it does that by... Uh... Being inaccurate. He must have meant just one American's ignorance of the world around him.
Eli Roth: Booff! Faced! - Phelous' exasperation over the general unlikability of the main characters:Paxton: (watching TV) How the hell are we supposed to understand this without subtitles? ...Fucking gay!
Phelous: (sarcastically) Yes, the non-English speaking country not providing its television with English subtitles is massively homosexual, (genuinely angry) you fucking idiot!- Later when Kana commits suicide:Phelous: At a train station, Asian girl looks at herself and realizes that if she survives too long in a Eli Roth movie, she'll turn into a jackass and call everything "gay", and jumps into the next train.
- Later when Kana commits suicide:
- The Running Gag of something apparently sad or dramatic happening, only for Phelous to say "I don't care!"

Hostel 2
- Everything related to Phelous' portrayal of Eli Roth.Eli Roth: Look at you, Phelous! You're so gay!
Phelous: ...Well, I am tied up in a dark room with another man, so guess the situation is kind of—
Eli Roth: Oh, I didn't mean it like that! I just meant that you were gay! (jumps up and down) Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay! Uh-ho-ho-ho!
Phelous: (frustrated) Would you just kill me already?!?- Eli Roth tries to knock Phelous unconscious with a single punch, only to fail and just hurt him. After failing a second time, he finally manage to do it by hitting him with the movie.
- "So we start the movie with a bunch of unlikable jackasses looking to do nothing else but party and have sex. But they are FEMALE, this time!"
- Phelous keeps complaining that he doesn't care and begs the movie to give him something to care about."So they give me a scene I obviously care about: partying!" (facepalm)
- "Oh, great! Now we can see the killers partying! This just added a whole new level of pointless!"
- Phelous' interpretation of the movie's Aesop: If you get caught by a murder group, make sure you're rich and join them.
Death Row
- His repeated irritation over the fact the movie is trying in vain to make the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" into an Ironic Nursery Tune, which he feels just doesn't work and isn't scary. Cue one of the female characters singing it while on the toilet, which he does find really scary.
- His reaction to the Ceiling Fan kill in Death RowPhelous: Oh, no! A butter knife! (cuts his own head off with it) A ghost made that work somehow, it's not stupid!
- Also, the numerous Titus references.
- His Alternative Character Interpretation about the villain suffering a breakdown not because he was scared of the ghosts, but because he was horrified by how terrible the effects were.
- The review ends with Phelous being haunted by the ghosts of himself from previous reviews. Including one who got lost in the green screen.
Humains
- The Humains crossover review with Benzaie is full of win.
- Whenever something stupid happens, they do a weird Kermit-style arm-waving while saying "Humains!"
- The "French Shia Labeouf".
- Upon hearing the characters explain their accident, the disappearance of a body and someone shooting at them with arrows by saying it must have been wild animals:Benzaie and Phelous: WILD ANIMALS?!
Phelous: What, like wild boars?
Benzaie: Shooting arrows?
Phelous: The only boar-like creatures I have heard about that shoot arrows are the Moblins in Zelda! Are those in Switzerland?
Benzaie: Well, yeah, but only the australian ones actually shoot arrows!
(Phelous gives him a WTF stare)
Ghost Ship
- "Wait a second! I do believe I've been chopped in half!"
- When noticing all characters in the first scene got chopped in half mid-body except for the captain who was dancing with the little girl, and got cut at his face, Phelous wonders if the wire avoided going through the two of them because it noticed the little girl's Plot Armor.
- Phelous really get to overuse his "They're the best!" joke in this episode, what with the so-called experts mocking their hirer before he even explained them the whole story, getting almost killed several times by their own clumsiness before the ghosts even start to show up, and starting to fight each other the moment they begin actually losing people.
- "This exchange:Phelous (as Guy 1): That's not gonna work!Phelous (as Guy 2): Just do it!Phelous (as Guy 1): Oh, okay, it'll work now!
- When the characters make a vote to decide if they should actually leave the ship and take the gold, and all vote to go with the gold, Phelous points out there really wasn't any reason for them to vote, since of course they would want to do that.Phelous: "Fuck the gold, I'm with the boat"! Like any of them would say that! Shut the hell up, Ghost Ship!
- "And the captain decides to lead by example... and gets drunk."
- When the little ghost girl turns out to have been Good All Along, Phelous calls her out for not warning the protagonists right away about the danger instead of doing pointless Jump Scares staring creepily at them.
- "Seriously, you think we'll listen to some stupid ghost? The hell do they know? They're already dead!"
- Phelous finds the scene that reveals the whole crew murdering each other being set in a catchy soundtrack so incredibly silly he decides there is no way he could make it any sillier. Then does it anyway by replacing the soundtrack with the "I'm On A Boat!" song.
- When the main antagonist Ferryman gets shot in the chest with a shotgun, Phelous adds his usual "I've got a shotgun!" joke... only for Ferryman to easily No-Sell it.Phelous: ... Shotguns don't seem to be working very well, lately...
- "Of course, Dodge reveals that he's actually Megatron!" (cue Transformers transformation sound as the villain changes form)
- Phelous has a lot of fun mocking Ferryman when he reveals he's a soul-collecting demons trying to make Hell's "management" happy with his job:Phelous (as Ferryman): I look through the adds for other jobs, but this was the only one I was qualified for! And it still took me four years to get it done!
Dawn of the Living Dead
- The ending skit (especially Sub-Zero and SadPanda's appearance's)Phelous: Why won't this movie DIEEEEE?!
D1: I'll tell you why... because it's already dead! Muahahahahaha!
Phelous: Oh, you have gotta be kidding me! How are you here?
D1: Because I wasn't given a proper burial!
Phelous: So?! You're still ME — you can't be here!
D1: Look; either you die, then you can't be sitting there doing this review, or I'm somehow a different person and am now your nemesis!
Phelous: I don't need a nemesis, I have Sub-Zero already anyway.
D1: What? What does he do?
Phelous: He... sits in the kitchen there, comes out and hits me or says mean words if I make a Mortal Kombat joke.
Sub-Zero: (reading a magazine in the kitchen) Yeah, when are you gonna do that again? I'm getting bored!
Phelous: Shut up!
D1: Wow... mean words. That's why you need a real nemesis!
SadPanda: Hey! Phelous has a nemesis: me, the Sad Panda!
Phelous: You're not my nemesis Panda, you do my theme song!
SadPanda: Oh, yeah, you're right. Bye.
Phelous: Yes, bye, the review is over and this is just stupid, why won't it end?!
D1: Because you must face me — Phelous D1!
Phelous: What the hell does "D1" even mean?
D1: Ehm, well, it means...
(lightning hits D1)
D1: Argh, purple lightning... my one weakness...
Phelous: (turns to the camera) Okay, we're done here. END THE DAMN VIDEO!

- Michelle for some unexplained reason assumes that a vaguely child-looking figure in a hoodie is her daughter:Michelle: Justine? It's me! It's mommy!
Phelous: It's a kid with a hoodie covering their whole face! Unless that is Justine's trademark look you might want to verify before you run up and say "It's mommy". It could be Todd in the Shadows for all you fucking know... - In general, Phelous' increasing hatred and disgust toward Michelle as it's revealed over the course of the story she had a messy divorce and tried to kill her daughter because they wouldn't let her keep her.Michelle: Stephen won custody of our daughter, and I was ruled an unfit mother for neglecting my child! How could this happen?!
Phelous (as Michelle): Yeah, it was just a little neglect! I thought spending all my time in a chat room was gonna win me the mother of the year award!
Michelle: How could you do this to me?! I hate you!
Phelous: (as Michelle) How dare you want our daughter to get parenting! (facepalm, as himself) I'm never gonna get through this movie! Every line is dumber than the next!
Michelle: I can't bear the thought of leaving Justine with you and that woman. I'd rather see my baby dead.
Phelous: And they called you an unfit mother?
Michelle: Decision made: just Justine and me.
Phelous: (Sarcastic Clapping) Bravo, Pulse 2! You've created one of the worst piece of shit characters I have ever seen in a movie! I'd love to see her die a painful and terrible death! SO HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO BET THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN?!- When it's revealed Michelle almost stabbed her daughter with scissors.Phelous: Ghost or not, I can see why [Justine] doesn't like her mother. Of course, even without that, her mother is an annoying ditz with a face you just want to smash!

Phelous: Even more reason to smash it! (girlfriend does so) Thank you! - Stephen inexplicably manages to fix a smashed computer by restoring it with Wheels O.S. Cue Phelous mocking it by using Wheels O.S. to restore all his files being accidentally erased and recover from a heart attack.$

- "So Justine drives off to suffer a fate worse than her father: the sequel..."
- Phelous tries to avoid having to do the sequel by revealing he was an Internet Ghost the whole time... only for a Ghostbuster version of himself to show up and bust him.
Pulse 3
- After mocking Friend-Meets-World's using the Wii version of Mortal Kombat Armageddon to play against his girlfriend (the Wii version doesn't have online multiplayer), Phelous makes a MK joke and expects Sub-Zero to hit him. Instead, Sub-Zero glitches into Ermac (an extremely nerdy inside joke amongst the Mortal Kombat fanbase).
- His impersonation of what two people having sex over a webcam looks like: pushing the "insert" key over and over again, yelling "Insert! Insert! INSERT!".
- The zombie fisherman was nothing compared to Pulse 3:Phelous: The internet ghost of a record player? The internet ghost of a record player?! THE INTERNET GHOST OF A RECORD PLAYER?!? IT MADE ME DO THE OVERHEAD SPINNING SCREAM THING AGAIN!!
- "I GOT A SHOTGUN! Suicide is painless..."
- When it's revealed you can somehow revert back an Internet Ghost to human using a specific program on a computer, Phelous has only one question:Phelous: ...Would that work for the Record Player too?
- Angry Joe showing up as an internet ghost, convincing Phelous to resurrect him with a flash drive, and then repeatedly shooting Phelous once he's resurrected.
Fatal Pulse
- Phelous' utter confusion over what the title even is supposed to mean, given a pulse usually is something you need to be alive, not something fatal.
- Phelous complains the female victim at the beginning of the movie cannot die now, seeing how she didn't even take her top off. Cue the killer taking care of that.
- Which is followed by a Running Gag of all the female victims getting their boobs exposed before they get killed, sometimes with the killer ripping their tops off for no discernable reason.

- When it's revealed the opening murder scene was a rape-murder:
- When Brad inexplicably starts displaying Offscreen Teleportation and Not Quite Dead abilities:Phelous: WHAT?! Brad, stop cheating! You can't have the magic slasher killer powers when you aren't the killer!
Incubus
- After stating how glad he is to be done with his "Pulse" streak... with "Incubus":Phelous: And here's a "Phelous Fun Fact" for you: the working title for "Incubus" was "Pulse"! (Beat; sudden realization; loud scream while flipping the camera over)(cut to "LOL BRB!" card)

- One of the characters manages to get inside the shelter, yet wait for a moment to let the other two get inside, nearly getting them killed. Cue Phelous wondering what when through her head, and coming up with three possible scenario:Scenario 1: I hate those two and finally they can now die before me! Oh, wait! I might need them to get out!Scenario 2: Alright, this isn't dramatic enough yet! I have to wait Peter gets a little closer before I open the door...

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
- "SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL! SILENT HILL!..."

His video self then starts laughing demonically and prepares to kill him, just to be shot to death by Phelous with a zapper.

It's a flat screen monitor...and that's the only problem I have with that.
- The scene where the girls' father in the asylum snaps and attacks a guy with a fork, set to Homer's epic lapse of sanity from Treehouse of Horror V.

- The entire death scene of the hornets coming out of the social worker set to (what else?) one of Nicholas Cage's infamous moments in The Wicker Man (2006):Malus: OH, NO! NOT THE BEES-!

- When the boat encounters a "snake fence".Terri Flores (JLo): That thing must be there for a reason!

Phelous: 'Cause you see this is a naturally formed fence and just stop talking, Lopez. - Stupid Surprised Panther.
- Phelous' Alternative Character Interpretation that the Anaconda is actually on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge because John Voight's character murdered people by crushing them with his legs and framed the snake for it, as well as because its mad about Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube being the stars in this movie.
- The ending of the review, where John Voight (Phelous in an Old Man wig) randomly appears, does a hilariously bad impression of "holy rites" (Voight's character is a priest in the movie), and then kills Phelous with Death By Leg Strangulation.

- Phelous' Facepalm at one of the corporate businessmen in the beginning of the movie comparing the Fountain of Youth to Viagra.Phelous: Someone please throw that shithead in an Anaconda's mouth...
- When it's revealed the big company paying for the expedition sent the team to Borneo but didn't bother with paying the team a boat:Phelous: I'd say there is no way that'd happen in reality, but this is a world of immortality flowers and giant snakes that just wait around to eat people, so let's move on.

- When her character starts to get really annoying, Phelous begs for something bad to happen to her. Cue to her falling in the river and Phelous cheering.
- The continuous, camera-mugging close ups of Stupid Surprised Monkey, which the camera continuously cuts to every time there's something... well, surprising. And then Phelous totals up the number of times that Stupid Surprised Monkey does his trademark face... 30 TIMES

- At the beginning of the movie, after seeing John Rhys-Davis' character freak out upon seeing the titular Anaconda:Phelous: I know, I know, Davis, it looks terrible...
- Phelous' snarks about the absurdity of Amanda's explanation for why they modified these Anacondas into killing machines:Phelous: Yes, of course! In order to find out why snakes are immune to the toxic immortality flower, they had to create super-snakes! There's no other way!Amanda: We didn't fail, we're rationally on the cut of a breakthrough!
Phelous (as Amanda): Once we gave the snakes laser vision, we would have been able to eat the fire flower! - When the characters express surprise finding out the Anaconda (who so far have displayed Super-Speed and spear tails) can swim.Phelous: Yes, of all the stupid things these snakes do in this movie, the one they do in real life surprises them!
- The ending of the review, where he brings in the Crappy CGI Annaconda as a guest.Anaconda: Hello, Phelousssssss!
- Even better, the Anaconda then reveals he also ended up developping laser vision.
- The brilliant timing/ splicing of this line uttered by the EVIL corporate boss, played by John Rhys-Davies:John Rhys-Davies: ...You will do your job, or the only thing you'll be supervising is a proctologist removing my Ax from your rectum!
- Later, when Rhys-Davies' character threatens to test the serum on his supervisor if he fails:
Phelous!Supervisor: Shit, I missed that part in my contract...
Anacondas: Trail of Blood
- Phelous really gets irritated by the scientist at the beginning of the movie who instead of actually doing the immortality serum as he was supposed to wasted several months on turning the flower into a mushroom that made the snake even more powerful and aggressive. Later, the villain reveals this scientist "might be one of the smartest people on the planet":
- Phelous mocking the main villain's reasoning:Villain: I have invested over fifty million dollars on this project.
Phelous (as the Villain): Only with fifty million was I able to afford a one-man team and a cottage in the woods. Well... I did have a real research facility before, but I sabotaged it while I was visiting because I hate logic. Speaking of which... (instructs the hitman to kill another scientist he still needs) - Johnny Cage and four other people are driving through the forest and are stopped by a fallen tree...which five people could certainly move. They decide to abandon their car and walk. Cut immediately to Phelous being stopped in his own car by a twig that's fallen into the road.Phelous: Oh no, no, no, NO! What am I gonna do now!? (resigned) Looks like I'm gonna be walking.
- The Dear Sis gag.
- "The Wonder snake chases the Wonder dummy who falls over and is about to die, but Amanda quickly... steals his vehicle. She's so awesome! But this does surprises the Anaconda! Just for a second, though, and it goes back to CGI-ing the wonder dummy! But Amanda has now driven far enough away from the snake to get a good shot! Yes, it's Incubus Logic again: only the opposite of logic has any sense here!"
- Phelous points out it's not that surprising the villains fail to ever kill the snake, given they keep shooting at the sky when trying to shoot at it.
- Sub-Zero (after being glitched into Ermac during Phelous's Pulse reviews) comes back to life due to the overload of "FATALITY" jokes Phelous used. Sub-Zero then does a fatality on Phelous when he quotes the song Chinese Ninja Warrior by the Immortals.Sub-Zero: (triumphantly) That one is for the guy up in the sky! (Calmer) That one is for you, Johnny Cage. Wait... is he dead still? I don't remember with him anymore. (to the camera) Anyway, I'm gonna visit Reptile before he turns into shitty CGI...
House of the Dead
- Uwe Boll's outburst of "Dun dun dun dunnnnn! Curien!" at the end of the House of the Dead: Funny Version made the whole movie almost worth it to Phelous. Almost.
- When the villain in the Funny version answers to being asked why he killed so many people so he could become immortal that he did it to live forever, Phelous chuckles and admits it was Actually Pretty Funny... only to find out this is not an alteration and already was in the original movie. Where it was supposed to be taken seriously.
- And now it seems that it'll be a running gag with him.
- In the same review, Boll's audio commentary is ridiculously unprofessional. He accepts phone calls and eats snacks while recording. Phelous wonders whether this was supposed to be 'funny'. Cut to... him belching and eating crisps as an unseen audience laughs at every single move he makes.
- What really sells this part is how Phelous took some of the most overused comedy clichés (burping and laugh tracks) and actually made them funny.
- Phelous reveals that one of the working titles for Night of the Living Dead was "Twilight of the Dead":Phelous: So yeah, George Romero almost made Twilight.
Dead and Deader
- His theory in Dead and Deader that it revolved around "Harbor Patrol" (An actress who played a Harbor Patrol agent in House of the Dead, an AMS Colonel in House of the Dead II: Dead Aim, and a mad scientist in Dead and Deader), in which he suspects the universe diverged when she got resurrected; she'd either be the leader of the heroes in 2 and lose her legs, or keep her legs but be a mad scientist in Dead and Deader. It's brought up at the end of the episode, where Phelous wonders what would've happened if he hadn't chosen to review the bad movies. In one sincerario, he just doesn't care. In the other?Alternate Phelous: (with red, glowing eyes) I NEED A BAD MOVIE TO REVIEW! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!
- And then there's his reaction to that:Phelous: (in a silly voice) Okay, nevermind; FUNNY! (slams his Dreamcast which causes his house/TARDIS to go apeshit)
- And then there's his reaction to that:
Thankskilling
- The title card for this episode is a Mirrored Confrontation Shot of the killer Turkey and Phelous about to fight each other, with the Turkey armed with a knife and a fork, while Phelous is armed with salt and pepper.
- The credits of the movie include a guy named General Bastard. Phelous wonders if this is because he is a general at being a bastard of if he is just generally a bastard.
- The dialogues of the nerd character at the beginning of the movie is so bad, Phelous actually asks if he is supposed to be the Turkey in disguise, since he can't believe a human being would talk like this.
- When the Turkey first meets the female main protagonist, Phelous informs us he says he's going to drink her blood and calls her a meanie. He then plays the actual dialogues to show us that no, he is not joking about it.
- Phelous' Laughing Mad reaction upon seeing the Turkey raping the slutty female character.
- The ending of the review, featuring Pester Z. Bum.
Triangle
