This video contains examples of:
- Fridge Logic: Invoked and subverted.Critic: I posted my list of reviews on April 21st. The Angry Video Game Nerd posted his review on April 22nd. That means he had to write the material, set up the shots, shoot the video, transfer it, edit it, and post it on his website, all in less than twenty. Four. Hours. (Beat) What kind of sick, jealous rage pushes a man to such limits?
- Mood-Swinger: The end of the video features The Critic scolding AVGN, walking off, and popping back on in fanboy mode before reverting to his anger.Critic: By the way, what'd ya say about Lucas, isn't that kid hilarious? Oh my God, I have so much fun writing jokes about... I HATE YOU!
