* GilliganCut: After the Critic uses ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' to choose three things that are too crazy to appear on a Blues Brothers movie ([[HollywoodVoodoo An immortal Voodoo priestess]], [[BalefulPolymorph Rednecks turned into rats]] and [[ZombieApocalypse zombies]]), he asks: "They did it, didn't they?"

* NoticeThis: The Critic tells the audience to memorize the only two scenes Buster had done anything meaningful in the movie (stealing Cab's wallet to get the money for a new car, and giving a RousingSpeech when the band is about to break up), as he refers back to them at the end of the movie, when Buster starts worrying about being taken away from the Blues Brothers forever.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Critic abandons the script of his Fuckital commercial to go outside, show the audience statues of Elwood and the Bluesmobile and then give one of these to Dan Aykroyd, calling him an UngratefulBastard for turning in a terrible sequel to a movie they immortalised him for as a Chicago icon.
* RunningGag: A clip of John Belushi saying "Bull''shit''."

to:

* ProductPlacement: While looking up the ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' website, the Critic tells the audience, "I'm sure you've all played this game before. ''Cards Against Humanity'' -- they have an online version. If you haven't, you should. It's fun. Bring the kids."

* DisappointedInYou: Critic's ultimate emotion about the film.
-->'''Critic:''' Movie, I'm not mad... yes, I am, I'm furious. But there's something that I'm even more: disappointed. I'm disappointed in you, Movie.



* IdiotPlot:[[invoked]] Savagely lambasted by the Critic, by comparing the reason why the first movie involved PuttingTheBandBackTogether (the orphanage had to be saved, and thus was a MissionFromGod) with the second one's (Elwood apparently decided to just do it, citing that "God works in mysterious ways") and pointing out that everybody in the Blues Brothers Band (save [[JustGotOutOfJail Elwood]] and [[BusCrash Jake]]) [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned a happy ending]] after serving their time (good high-paying jobs, salvaging their relationships, etc) and had no reason to follow Elwood again, as well as apparently having kidnapped the kid.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After witnessing the extent of the film's GenreShift into fantasy, Doug angrily throws off the Critic's costume to rant about how much of an affront it is to the original. It may very well be he biggest display of genuine anger that Doug/The Critic has ever shown towards something he's reviewed.

to:

* JumpingTheShark:[[invoked]] The first scene where Buster is shown in a Blues Brothers costume with Elwood and Mack is seen as this by the Critic. While it's far from the most infuriating moment for him, Critic says that any chance the film had of being entertaining or taken seriously was lost the moment they decided to do it.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Critic pretending to recreate his review of ''Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue'' without any clips from the cartoon itself, filling the void with a bunch of other critics,[[note]]Black Critic (Malcolm), Little Kid Critic (Tamara kneeling down), Animated Kitten Critic ([[CallBack Nostalgia Kitten]]), Sexy Female Critic (Dayna Munday), Invisible Critic (a shot of a corner of the room), and Cameo Critic (Creator/BradJones, aka WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, who shrugs and says, "It's a living!")[[/note]] not offering anything new other than that and being something nobody actually wanted to see is a massive TakeThat towards this movie, saying it operates on similar principles.
