In return the Animetalchick appears in "Just Can't Get Enough" (though she only calls herself "the camera guy's sister", with her name appearing in her next appearance). She also returns in a Worst Lyrics of September 2011 to comment on two ("tokyo diamonds!" and "I like them black, white, Puerto Rican, or Haitian Like Japanese, Chinese, or even Asian!") and Kreayshawn's "Gucci Gucci" as a "Female Rap Critic".
Pops up frequently enough in the Brows Held High review of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai given the films context and score by The RZA to be more than just a cameo. Especially as he winds up reviewing Oancitizen's Rap-Analysis of the film and director Jim Jarmusch's style, Oan gets a 2 out of 5.
"There's no creativity, there's no focus, and there's no...focus."
Did Not Do the Research: In his review for Young Jeezy's "My President" he is under the impression that Young Jeezy didn't write the song. He misinterpreted the introduction of the song, when Jeezy said he didn't write the song, he was saying he didn't write down on paper and did it from the top of head similar to rappers such as Jay-Z or Kanye West. While the mistake is understandable, he could've checked the liner notes or just looked it up to have avoided it.
His reaction to the beginning of the "Moment for Life" video shows he's unfamilliar with the She Is The King trope and its real life examples.
Ending Fatigue: Says Mack Maine's verse (or outro) on Young Money's "Every Girl" qualifies as this because it broke the three verse structure and didn't add to the song. invoked
Enforced Plug: His album Polarity Switch at the end of the "Death of Autotune" review.
Facepalm: His reaction to "Ass (Remix)" by Big Sean. He needs a moment before he can make any comments.
Fridge Logic: Plenty in the songs he reviews. invoked
Fun with Subtitles: Whenever the lyrics are overtly stupid, the caption reads something along the line of *lyrics are too insulting to my intellect to type*...
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Shaq Diesel, a particularly garbled song is interrupted with "*you don't pay me enough to do this...*"
Also, during Tech N9NE's Motor Mouth lyrics, it says "what do you expect me to do here?", explaining that it's hard to type and the editing software can't paste text.
Girl on Girl Is Hot: Todd and the Critic argued that the cheated girlfriend on "It Wasn't Me" was following the action so closely that she probably wanted a part of it. And said the cheater would be a lucky guy for this!
Heroic BSOD: After listening to Rick Ross' "Hustlin'".
Hypocritical Humor: In the It Was a Good Day review, when he tells Ice Cube that he should cook his own breakfast since he's like 24 at the time of the video - and then yelling "Hey Mom, where's my breakfast?!"
Addressed in his "Death of Autotune" review, where he notes he DOES rap.
One of the songs from his album also is basically about how much better he is than the people he criticizes.
Mood Whiplash: He calls this on Drake's "Best I Ever Had", which goes from love song to sex song.
Monkeys on a Typewriter: On "Just Can't Get Enough", he says that the monkeys need to be hired, as they could write a line better than "Love lovey, yeah you know you are my demon".
Also, when he hears Master P's "I Miss My Homies" (specially because he expected a somber theme... and got a kinda cheery tune with a "Frankenstein's Monster moan") he laughs so much he stops talking about it.
Nostalgia Filter: From giving poor grades to "Rollin'" and "Hey Ma"—both of which he liked as a kid—to pointing out the lyrical deficiencies in G-funk classics, it's safe to say it's averted.
He also admits Petey Pablo's "Raise Up", a North Carolina anthem isn't really as good as he liked it ten years ago.
After hearing Mack Maine's "I exchange V-Cards (virginity) with the retards" lyrics in "Every Girl" he's so grossed out he abruptly ends the review and doesn't attempt to snark at it.
Take That: "Oh Really" is an entire song dedicated to critisizing rappers that are "gangsta" and their over-saturation.
Tempting Fate: After "Hey Soul Sister"'s "So gangsta, I'm so thug", he says "Next, there's gonna be an Asian pop group who says they're gangsta too". Cut to a similar line of "Like a G6"...
Younger than They Look: Believe it or not, he's a whole TWO YEARS younger than Film Brain, making The Rap Critic the youngest main contributor. Guy can easily pass for mid-twenties, early thirties.
