Film: Tom and Jerry: The Movie (1992)

This review contains examples of:

  • Alas, Poor Yorick: Critic does an "Alas, poor Tom and Jerry" speech using a Tom and Jerry DVD.
  • Antiquated Linguistics: Lampshaded during the "Alas, poor Tom and Jerry" speech:
    Critic: My gorge rims at it, whatever the hell that means.
  • Big "SHUT UP!": To Captain Kiddie and Squawks's song.
  • Boom, Headshot!: The Critic shoots Puggsy's, Captain Kiddie's, and Squawks's heads off.
  • Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs:
    Critic: It sucks ASS! It sucks BALLS! It sucks ASSBALLS!
  • Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: When the third song of the movie is about to start, the Critic shouts "I'll do your taxes, I'll shave your back, I'll prostitute myself for money, just please, not another one!"
  • Camera Abuse: In the deliberately set up spit take (below), a piece of watermelon hits the lens and slowly slides off. This was apparently an accident according to the commentary.
  • Lame Pun Reaction: When Tom and Jerry are rafting down a sewer, the critic reacts to his own pun.
    Critic: Look, it's Tom Sawyer and Huckle Jerry Finn. Heheh... I've been watching this movie too long.
  • Mind Screw: "Ladies and gentlemen, WELCOME TO THE MINDFUCK!"
  • Money, Dear Boy: In-universe.
    Lickboot: We've got to have... moneeeeeyyy.
    Critic: Sounds like the producers of this film.
  • A Rare Sentence:
    Critic: So after they escape the singing cat gang, good God did I just say that?
  • Shoot the Dog: Critic kills Puggsy this way.
  • Shout-Out to Shakespeare: In response to Tom and Jerry singing about being friends, Critic says that they're "dead" and proceeds to do a parody of the "Alas, Poor Yorick" soliloquy from Hamlet, scored with the theme from Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation.
  • Shout-Out: Critic compared Ferdinand's voice to that of Gollum.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: At the end of Critic's dramatic speech, he pauses for a moment before saying "Shitfuckers".
  • Spit Take: Deliberately set up with watermelon and sangria when he hears Tom and Jerry actually talking.
  • Stunned Silence: The Critic is aghast when Tom and Jerry sing about being friends.
