- Acting for Two: In Conversations videos.
- Approval of God:
- Max Landis commented on their video on Chronicle positively, stating he looked forward to them tackling his film and, in high contrast to Jordan Vogt-Roberts below, considered their style of criticism to be reminiscent of a roast. And also that they can go fuck themselves.
- Alessia Cara commented on their video for her song "Here" positively, stating that she cried of laughter at it.
- Ascended Fanon: David F. Sandberg, while discussing some problem-solving he did for SHAZAM! (2019), made a few jabs at CinemaSins when pointing out flaws in his own movie. Come the sins video for SHAZAM!, Jeremy and crew use a couple of Sandberg's own nitpicky criticism of the movie including one where Jeremy directly does an impression of him and uses the mock "Fail Counter" he had.
- Beam Me Up, Scotty!: Ironically enough, they've done this to their most known catch phrase: "Scene does not contain a lap dance." The original version was "Scene does not include lap dance."
- Creator's Apathy: They've admitted several times to making up sins that contradict the movie to make their videos longer.
- Dueling Works: Cinema Sins, Honest Trailers and How It Should Have Ended all released their entry for Back to the Future Part II in the same day (October 21, 2015), because it was a Meaningful Release Date.
- Follow the Leader:
- It's safe to say that there are quite a lot of channels that have chosen to run off of the same algorithms that this channel pioneered. Examples can be found here
, here, here, here, and here. That's not even getting into the standalone videos that have been made... - To borrow a Catchphrase from CinemaSins itself, you could also say that CinemaSins is a discount Mystery Science Theater 3000/RiffTrax.
- It's safe to say that there are quite a lot of channels that have chosen to run off of the same algorithms that this channel pioneered. Examples can be found here
- Fountain of Expies: Seriously, go on YouTube and search for "Cinema Sins Parody." There are...a lot of them. One of them even has its own entry on this wiki.
- He Also Did: Jeremy’s superhero novel The Ables is about as far removed from Cinema Sins as you can get.
- Inspiration for the Work:
- Jeremy has mentioned that Mystery Science Theater 3000 was the inspiration behind the Sins Videos. Instead of just riffing on infamously bad movies, they would tackle any type of movie because "No movie is without sin."
- The video for The Transformers: The Movie has Jeremy off-handedly mention that John Moschitta, Jr, aka Blur, is an inspiration for the series and Jeremy's narration style.
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: In 2023, all videos on the Music Video Sins channel were privated.
- Meaningful Release Date:
- The entry for Back to the Future Part II was released on October 21, 2015; the day when Marty McFly arrived to the future in the film.
- Also, whenever there is a sequel to an upcoming movie, Cinema Sins will usually do a previous movie from the same series (i.e. doing the other 2 Jurassic Park films (The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III) for the release of Jurassic World, and the first 2 Daniel Craig James Bond films, Casino Royale (2006) and Quantum of Solace for the release of Spectre).
- Milestone Celebration: They commemorated their 10-year anniversary of the channel by "re-sinning" some of their earliest videos in the more modern, extended format, which included Frozen, The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Avengers, Avatar, The Hunger Games, Prometheus and The Amazing Spider-Man Series.
- Missing Episode:
- Olympus Has Fallen (the straight version, not "White Olympus House Has Fallen Down", the video that mixed the film with White House Down) has been taken down from YouTube, with no signs of it being mirrored elsewhere or indication that it will be back up.
- The official videos for Moulin Rouge! and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King are also removed, but both can be found on YouTube on fans' accounts.
- Several videos from the CinemaSins Jeremy channel were privatized around April 2018, including all his reviews and Dear Hollywood videos.
- Official Fan-Submitted Content: The Everything Wrong With Iron Man 3 video had its sins submitted by the fans.
- Parody Retcon: The series' creators typically respond to critique of their videos by claiming that they're intended to be satirical, and that the narrator of the series is more of a "character" who represents anal-retentive Caustic Critics on the Internet. They also claim that a certain percentage of the sins written for each video are intentionally wrong "as a joke". Of course, since none of them are actually presented in such a way, it's fairly easy for a typical viewer to mistake them as actual criticisms and end up correcting them in the comments.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: Following Barrett Share's departure from the CinemaSins team in late 2021, the Music Video Sins channel has been put on hiatus.
