The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982)
  • In the beginning skit, Dom's enjoyment of the book is interrupted when he slams face first into Values Dissonance.
    Dom: Oh that sneaky, elusive Pimpernel.
    Voiceover: Chapter 26: The Jew
    Dom: (Spit Take) Well, that got awkward so fast.
  • Throughout the review, he keeps finding puns on the titular hero's name, including The Scarlet Pumpernickel, The Scarlet Simp-ernel, The Scarlet Pimp Slap, Marvel's Scarlet Witch-ernel, The Crimson Peak -ernal, and finally, The Scarlet Sink Me I've Run out of Puns.
  • Dom notes that with everything that happened recently, he's slightly unsympathetic to the one percent. Cut to a picture of Dom in front of a city on fire, waving a flag that says "Eat the Rich" and wearing an Ursula K. Le Guin t-shirt.
  • The skit of the Scarlet Pimpernel switching between meaningless foppish banter and spy talk whenever someone passes within earshot. It ends with one guy hanging around too long, resulting in the Pimpernel running out of foppish banter and just telling him to fuck off.
  • Dom's interpretation of Percy's duel with Chauvelin in the film (where Percy does his best to cut off his clothes and then demands he be stripped once he's beaten) is that they should just fuck already.

The Coolest Character From The Fellowship of The Ring that Was Left out of the Film

  • The first thing he says is that no, it's not Tom Bombadil.
  • Referring to Tom as the Middle Earth version of John Mulaney due to the fact that he can't stop gushing about how amazing his wife is.
  • When talking about the Barrow-Wight preparing to sacrifice the party, Dom gets more and more into how creepy and atmsopheric the scene is, which is promptly killed by his hair refusing to stay in place and him having to cut the scene midway through to tie it up.
  • Dom explains that Glorfindel is The Dreaded to the forces of evil. Just how dreaded? Three of the Nazgûl decides to just straight up leg it when he enters the scene.
    Nazgûl: Oh, fuuuck! It's Glorfindel! Cheese it, boys!
  • While building up to the character's official introduction, he refers to his viewers as "dirty boys", causing him to break down laughing and admit that he shouldn't ad-lib so much.
  • The actual character is Farmer Maggot. Who technically was in the movie, but as a coward who gave up Frodo's location to the Nazgul, as opposed to his book counterpart who refused to admit anything to them and even told the Black Rider to get off his land despite having no more than a scythe and a dog to his name, then smuggled the party out of the Shire at great risk to himself. Dom is utterly infuriated and refers to Film!Maggot as "the pretender", even threatening him with Anduril.
    • Il Neige's outro song, "The Ballad of Farmer Maggot" (styled after Leonard Nimoy's "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins") deserves mentioning here.

The Golden Compass

Discworld

The Chronicles of Narnia Kept Getting Weirder

Watership Down

  • Dom's brief summary of the plot features him in a blood-drenched bunny costume punching himself, pulling his ears in terror, and dying horribly, all while heavy metal plays in the background.

Twilight

  • Near the end, Dominic mentions the In Name Only original script for the movie, which involved Bella being a track star with a gun, a secret branch of the FBI attempting to chase down and capture the Cullens, and a climactic Chase Scene across the sea using jetskis. He then decides to travel to the universe where that became the Twilight movie, and returns wearing a tactical vest and wielding a bloody sword. Apparently, that version of Twilight was different and he wishes more people had seen it, but as a trade-off humanity was enslaved by hyperintelligent koala bears.

Is Chuck Tingle A Good Writer?

  • It's Chuck Tingle. Simply describing his work is going to be this.
  • Dom describes the plot of "Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt", accompanied with a picture of Captain America admiring his own ass in Avengers: Endgame.
  • Il Neige's Hamilton parody at the end, revealing that their team read eighty-five of Tingle's books for the video. Kate read five, Il Neige read twenty-nine, and Dominic read fifty-one!
  • The beginning segment where he reads Tingle's outlandish titles (including Pounded by the Pound: Turned Gay by the Socioeconomic Implications of Britain Leaving the European Union) in the style of a cheesy old-fashioned album commercial.

Journey to the West

Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

  • Dom's proof that he's getting old despite being told that 34 isn't that old? Captain Underpants is a series of picture books about the young sticking it to the old... and he sided with the old. note 
    Dom: Just give me a cane and a cloud to yell at.

The Creation of Narnia Was Surprisingly Thirsty (The Magician's Nephew)

  • Dominic, dressed up as the White Witch, reenacting the scene where she calmly strolls out of her crumbling castle as Il Neige's "I'm the White Witch, Bitch!" plays.
  • When Uncle Andrew instantly submits to Jadis, Dominic points out that if he were alive today, he'd be one of the people who lost their minds over Lady Dimitrescu.
  • Dominic highlights how weirdly chipper the Cabbie is about being stuck in a lightless void, or possibly even dead, with a scene showing the other characters staring in bewilderment — or disgust, in Jadis' case — at the Cabbie while he (with an appropriately terrible Cockney accent) encourages them to sing a hymn.
    Dom!Cabbie: Jesus! Jesus! I sure do love Jesus! Jeeesuuus!!!
  • Aslan brings life to the world through song, as portrayed by a mouth-flapping cutout of a lion singing The 7th Element a cappella.

Returning to the Omegaverse for Christmas

  • Dom noting that a genre filled with wholesome romance was born out of a fanfic in which the Winchester brothers fucked each other with dog dicks.
  • Il Neige's Christmas-themed mpreg song is, as usual, hilarious.
