Animated Actor - The title font to Vangelus's film class project Questionnaire is the same one used for the Subtitles, ergo the Subtitles are listed in the credits for providing the title.
Vangelus: It's hit that beautiful, perfect size between practical and psychopathic.
Subtitles: Practical psychopathy, of course.
Breaking the Fourth Wall - One of Vangelus's out-of-character blogs ended with him telling the viewers, "Also, there's no subtitles because, guys, the Subtitles don't really exist. Seriously. There's a thing called the fourth wall. Chyah." Or is there?
Brain Bleach - What you'll need to survive his account of the conception of the SH Figuarts line.
Bullying a Dragon - Omega Spreem only made an already ticked off Gundam Ariosmadder by repeatedly insulting him to his face after he was caught making a move on his daughter. Archer didn't take it well either...
Caustic Critic - MAJORLY averted, though parodied in his earlier reviews where he challenges those who disagree with his reviews to a fight on the internet!
vangelous U R A SHEEP >:(!!
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Subtitles tend to engage in this (sometimes unwillingly), just in case you missed the massive bits of yellow on Animated Bumblebee's hood, along with the yellow on his roof or the yellow on the doors.
"You can also pose these Dual GN-Drives pretty well. And yeah, see, I knew some terminology there! 'Dual GN-Drives!'' That’s how this guy cruises the spaceways and looks for his lost brother, Racer X..."
His "In Light Of Recent Events" video which "examined" some of the then-recent controversy over another video reviewer.
His preparations to have the Subtitles transferred over to a newer, High-Definition camera were initially thought by the Subtitles to be him cheating with another camera.
Any time a weapon telescopes out, folds open, or otherwise grows larger and longer, it's a safe bet that some kind of Enzyte-related joke will be made.
His failure to keep Swoop in-frame lead to the birdbot facepalming through the review.
Exploitation Film - A part of Sideswipe's transformation involves scissor-blades sticking out his sides. This is, of course, an homage to Sideswipe's earlier film debut in Attack of the Scissor-Car!
Fantastic Racism: Hybrid Style Optimus Prime (who happens to be really short) orders Drift to get back to "his corner" (with the Japanese toys) to avoid "being around a foreign toy like him" drawing attention towards how short he is. This is in spite of the fact that Drift isn't from Japan and is an Autobot like Optimus.
Foreshadowing - The Subtitles hates it when Vangelus foreshadows things that are less than 10 minutes away. The Hot Toys Batman review, meanwhile, foreshadowed a review of the Joker that showed up three years later. On a different website.
"... The final review from the Stolen Chinese Foursome that I received shortly before Christmas."
HE MEANS TOYS.
Insistent Terminology - Occasionally, other reviewers of upcoming toys will describe the figure they have as "pre-release". Every such toy reviewed by Internet Personality Vangelus is a Stolen Chinese Toy.
Cyclonus's drones are known as "And His Armada".
Actually, the Cyclonii are Cyclonus, "The Warrior", and "And His Armada". Ignore the fact that only two appear in the film...
Any third-partytransformingrobotactionfigure will be referred to strictly by the name the third-party company gave it. The transformer character being referenced by the toy will usually only be referred to in an indirect way, and no indication is ever given that, for example, Warbot Defender has anything to do with Springer except share a vaguely similar head. He claims to do this because it upsetsfanboys.
The review of Animated Cybertronian Optimus Prime ends with Vangelus defending his preferences regarding toys and other things but ends before the second branch can go too far.
However, the recent review of G1 Megatron's face upgrade has no such early ending, and we hear all about Vangelus's dreams.
Ridiculously Human Robots - The Subtitles again. Possibly Vangelus himself, as the dangerous life of a toy reviewer has caused him once to be incapacitated and briefly replaced by Auxiliary Vangelus.
Ah cripes, you're the Auxiliary that reeks of bacon and dental drills, too. :(
The Subtitles taking a quote from Vangelus out of context.
His epic Fan Fic, Love Across The Universe: Can You Recall It?.
Every time he reviews a car, he says "And he rolls!... Okay, let's transform him." This is because car-mode Transformers usually have few gimmicks outside of rolling, and because a surprising amount of them have little or no ground clearance, meaning that whether or not they roll actually is a factor.
Straight Man: The Subtitles end up as this, in light of Vangelus's common absentmindedness.
Tastes Like Feet - Described the gum that came with a candy toy he did as a V-Builds tasted like plastic and hair (with a bit of sugar and maybe fruit flavor).
The Nicknamer: Vangelus comes up with some rather colorful names for his Stolen Chinese Toys, such as And His Armada, Spoons II, Delaserbendour, and Baron Ransack von Joy Universe Cyclonus, RotF Dirtboss, RotF Dead End, and RotF Ransack, respectively.
Totally Radical - Since the name "Vangelus" tends to get taken a lot (due to the musician Vangelis) the actual YouTube account is "Vange1us", which he insists "shows you're street-smart to the internets, and I'm takin' it back for the kids." Occasionally, when referring specifically to his Youtube channel, he pronounces it "Vange-one-us."
