Movie: Titanic: The Legend Goes On (2001)
This review contains examples of:
- Aluminum Christmas Trees: The Critic's best guess for the film's existence is that the creators didn't realize that the film they were ripping off was based on an actual historical event. Thus, they decided to go for a Lighter and Softer tone that completely glosses over the tragedy of the real Titanic disaster, including a Happily Ever After ending for several major characters and a rapping dog.
- Bait-and-Switch: The Critic begins by dramatically pitching the central plot of the movie, all while Hymn to the Sea plays in the background. Then he realises that he's talking about James Cameron's Titanic and starts again. Double Subverted in that he gives the same description as before, then he reveals he's talking about the animated musical.
- Declarative Finger: The Critic briefly invokes this before deciding not to remark on the line, "Stupid dog... what am I saying? You look more like a bat!"
- Department of Redundancy Department:Critic: Some Italian fart in Italy...
- I Need a Freaking Drink: When Fritz the dog starts rapping, Critic takes out a bottle of Jagermeister three times, with each bottle being bigger than the last. By the end of the film, he takes the last, biggest bottle with him to try and forget watching the movie.
- "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: The review begins with:Critic: Now before you say anything, let me answer your very first question: Yes, this is real. Some Italian fart over in Italy decided he wanted to tell his version of how he saw the Titanic, which of course is completely different from that other little independent film that came out just a few years earlier. This charming little version has talking geese, Mexican mice, and, I'm really not kidding here- a rapping dog. I swear to God that is true; a rapping dog. This film is actually so bad, that a lot of people debate whether or not it actually exists. Copies of it are very hard to find, and most people who see snippets swear it's just something done by a fifth grader on Adobe Flash! But... here’s the DVD to prove it, "Titanic."
- Product Placement: After the apparent end of the episode, a promo for a card game featuring AVGN and TGWTG characters plays.Maxie: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Where are you going? The movie isn’t over yet!
Critic: Right you are, you little obnoxious bastard. - Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: When it is revealed that Angelica is a servant to her evil stepmother and two stepsisters, he exclaims, "Gee, does THAT... SOUND... FAMILIAR?!?"
- Revised Ending: The Critic updates the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue to remove the Happily Ever After and the glossing-over of the Titanic tragedy:Critic!Maxie: Kirk and Dirk got married to the evil stepsisters; William and Angelica got married, as well as adopted the two Dalmatians; and over 1,500 died in one of the world's largest and most tragic disasters. See you soon!
- Stupid Evil: Critic has to restrain a laugh when Angelica's stepfamily deliberately breaks stuff for her to clean up.Critic: That’s not evil; that’s Tourette’s syndrome!
- That Reminds Me of a Song: Critic mocks how the movie's rap number starts by having Maxie be thankful for Fritz for saving him from getting eaten, which has no possible opening for a song to begin:Critic!Maxie: Yes, thank you. If there’s anything we can do to help, just let us know. (Fritz suddenly starts rapping, to his surprise) Uh, what are you doing? (the rap continues) Did I at... any point indicate that I wanted a rap number? (he continues to watch the rap in confusion, bobbing his head to the beat and smiling awkwardly) I'm beginning to regret you saving me.
- This Is Gonna Suck: The Critic groans "Oh, God, this is it" the moment Fritz begins his rap number.
- Unsettling Gender-Reveal: In a gag edit of the movie:William: Nothing you could tell me... could prevent me from loving you.
Critic!Angelica: I'm a man.
Critic!William: Oop, gotta go! (cartoonishly runs off) - What the Hell Is That Accent?: Critic's response to Maxie's accent:Critic!Maxie: I can't decide on my accent, Mamma. Is it Italian? Mexican? French?
