Recap / The Reviewers S1E3 "Infringement"

Go To

While Michelle gets good news at her job, Jeff and Andy seek help when their videos are taken down for copyright infringement.


"Infringement" provides examples of:

  • The Cameo: Rob Walker as the Murder-Trail Critic.
  • Caustic Critic: The Murder-Trail Critic is a gun-toting southern judge that reviews Real Life court-cases.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Andy makes several good (or at least passable) points about the benefits of having their own website.
  • Jerkass to One: While Michelle finds both Andy and Jeff exhausting, she hates Andy especially because of how unbearably pretentious he is. It takes Jeff pointing out that she would get to be Andy's boss (and thus do whatever she wants with him) if she agreed to buy them a website.
  • Kick the Dog: The Rickhead takes an unprecedented amount of glee when Andy and Jeff's accounts get taken down.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: Andy rubs it in Jeff's face that his account gets taken down due to copyright infringement... only to find out that the same thing happened to him.
  • Homoerotic Subtext: Parodied. The Rickhead reads a script of a crossover between Count Thomas Howl and Space-Lancer Steve engaging in gay sex. While at first it sounds like something The Rickhead made up, Jeff confirms that it's true by saying that he took the script "way out of context."
  • Screwed by the Lawyers: In-universe. Both Andy and Jeff get their channels taken down due to the fact that their shows heavily rely on copyrighted content. Andy deserves most of the blame after he did a video of just him dancing to the entirety of "Horse with No Name" by America.
  • Take That!: Jeff was planning to do a vlog series on Under the Dome, only to cancel it when he realized that it meant he had to watch the whole show.
  • Too Good to Be True: It isn't until after Michelle gets hired full-time and thus could move out do Andy and Jeff's account get taken down, the both of them thinking that she could buy them a website for them.
