* TalkingToHimself:
** Sometimes, Brad-As-Himself and Cinema Snob verbally disagree with one another as if they're in the same room; Cinema Snob hates everything, while Brad [[UnabashedBMovieFan loves horrible movies]], so of course they clash.
** In the review of ''Film/RikiOhTheStoryOfRicky'', the Snob not only talks to Kung Tai Ted, the two have a full-fledged fight scene.

* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Brad has gone on record to say that his favourite episodes are ''Wired'', ''Film/{{Bushwhacked}}'', and ''Miss Velma's Most Incredibly Magnificent Christmas Week''. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150304042610/http://www.thecinemasnob.com/the-cinema-snob/august-16th-2009 Previously it was the one for]] ''Film/{{Salo|OrThe120DaysOfSodom}}'', as it showcased what the Snob stands for, namely mocking TheMovieBuff who praises a [[LeFilmArtistique pretentious art film]] even if [[VomitIndiscretionShot makes him physically ill]].

** In the ''Karate Girl'' review, Brad assumes the famous viral video "Worst movie death scene ever" ([[https://youtu.be/rxZXptGpXng reupload here]]) is from an authentic alternate version of the film; in fact, the viral video is edited from [[https://youtu.be/aN5sZF8K-Ko the original]] to include the ridiculous screams and an end-credit card. In fairness, an obscure Turkish exploitation film is difficult to casually research, and the Snob does comment on the oddness of having a cut where the film ends right before the climactic sequence.

** Brad was planning on doing a Snob review on the Creator/BruceWillis movie ''Fortress'',[[note]]one of the films that were nominated to the one-off "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie" category at the UsefulNotes/GoldenRaspberryAwards,[[/note]] but after the news of Willis's health issues came out,[[note]]which actually caused the Razzies to rescind the category,[[/note]] he decided to scrap it.

* ApprovalOfGod: David Howard Thornton, who played Film/ArtTheClown in ''Film/{{Terrifier}}'', actually commented on the Snob's video about the film, stating he was glad of the film appearing on the show as he was a long-time fan. He even commented that he would use a chance he had to meet Music/AliceCooper to rely to him a joke Snob made in the review (in which he referred to Art wearing a wig as Alice Cooper).



* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Whenever the adult film actress Vuko appears in a porn parody and Brad points out she played Jizzy in ''[[ParallelPornTitles Strokémon,]]'' he shows a picture of the Misty parody, when Jizzy was the Jessie parody (he correctly identified her character as "Fisty" in the actual review of ''Strokémon,'' but he didn't recognize who the Jessie parody was even supposed to be, so this is sort of understandable.)

** In his review of ''Film/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'', Snob spends nearly a minute criticizing the movie for having ThePowerOfMusic end World War II. However, the movie makes it more than clear that the scene in question takes place during World War I, with a following moment (in which Snob jokes about the band performing with Music/TheAndrewsSisters and mistakenly calls a tuba a French horn) taking place during World War II.

* ActorLeavesCharacterDies: In ''The Crippled Avengers'' review, Brad's bro character bemoans the off-screen death of Jake's bro character who "fell off his [skate]board and got run over by a steamroller". In reality, Jake had been fired from the site a couple of months prior.



* CreatorBacklash:
** In his ''Dr. Sex'' review, he stated that he doesn't really like his review of ''Wanda, The Sadistic Hypnotist'' (his third review, where he mentioned that ''Dr. Sex'' was part of a double feature with ''Wanda''), because he didn't like how he was doing it in the upstairs living room (noticeable by the bright powder blue wall) and how he incorrectly stated how the film ended.
** He's not a big fan of most of his older episodes in general, as he felt he was trying to be [[CausticCritic too angry]] or too edgy.
*** His ''Video Violence 2'' review, done three years after he reviewed the first ''Video Violence'', has him mocking his old style throughout the review.
---->'''Young Snob:''' ''(throws video to the ground [[OffscreenCrash with a loud smashing sound]])''\\
'''Current Snob:''' Interesting, I forgot the DVD I had was the Limited [[StockSoundEffects Glass Case Edition]].
*** There was also his review of ''Erotic Nights of the Living Dead'', done as part of his 400th episode/10th anniversary celebration, in which he looked back at his review of ''Porno Holocaust'', its "sister movie" (as they were was shot at the same time and with the same cast and crew), which was just his second review ever, and Snob clearly wasn't fond of his early review.
---->'''Young Snob:''' ''Porno Holocaust'' actually is the Holocaust of cinema!\\
'''Current Snob:''' Hmmm, edgy; I compared a bad movie to the Holocaust. I understand why I was so mad in that episode: I was living in a pre-''Nukie'' review world.
** According to Brad, he first checked out ''Savage Vengeance'' because Donald Farmer, the film's director, left a comment on one of his videos saying "I made the worst film ever".
** In his review of ''God's Not Dead: We the People'', Brad refers to his reviews of the first two films in the series as being his "angrier days" and implies feeling some regret about "below-the-belt" jokes he made in them.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: At times, new episodes will be taken down due to the reviewed work's distributor issuing a copyright claim. Brad himself has started to refer to such removals as [[PersonAsVerb "Lionsgated"]] given [[Creator/{{Lionsgate}} that studio]] caused the first case with ''Hillary's America'' (twice!) and did it again with ''Diary of Mad Black Woman''. A review of ''Film/ChristmasEvil'' intended to premiere on the titular holiday in 2021 wound up severely delayed by a copyright claim, ruining its topicality (it eventually premiered in mid-January 2022); the same thing happened twice a few months later, with reviews of ''Film/AprilFoolsDay'' and ''Beaster Day'' being held up in copyright claims during their respective holidays. As MissingEpisode above shows, new episodes usually return following an appeal, but at least one old one (''Can't Stop the Music'') seems to be nixed right upon upload, leading anyone wanting to watch it to rely on fan uploads.
