This review contains examples of:

As You Know:
Critic: As you all know, I loved Ninja Turtles growing up — I was a Hero in a Half-Shell junkie.
Call-Back: As he introduces the TMNT shows and the premise of the episode, the Critic remarks, "We know the movies definitely have flaws," referring to his review of the '90s movie trilogy.
Out of Order: The Critic points out that the VHS releases place the fourth episode before the third one, making a discussion about Baxter Stockman in the fourth episode incomprehensible to those who haven't seen his episode yet.
Michelangelo: But, like, what if Baxter comes back?
April: [laughs] Baxter won't be back for a long time, Michelangelo.
Raphael: The authorities didn't appreciate it when he tried to take over the city with his Mouser robots.
April: And I didn't appreciate it when they ate my apartment!
[while this conversation is going on, the Critic watches in confusion, pretending not to have seen the episode being discussed by the characters]
Critic: What the hell are they talking about?! I mean, who's Baxter Stockman? April's ex-husband?
Running Gag: The talking Dennis Miller doll.
Sequel Hook:
Critic: Next month is January! You know what that means!... SEQUEL MONTH!!!
Waxing Lyrical: When the first episode begins, the Critic describes New York and the situation using lyrics from the "Turtle Power" song by Partners in Kryme from the 1990 TMNT film.
