YMMV / Regular Car Reviews

• Anvilicious: In the Triumph Daytona review, in regards to why buying a big sportbike as one's first bike is a really bad idea.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Pretty much every review has a joke so bizarre that the video becomes more remembered for that than the actual car being reviewed, such as Mr. Regular repeatedly saying "HOT DICKS" for 50 seconds in the Mk 4 Supra review.
• Crosses the Line Twice: The almost offensively stereotypical Japanese accent in the WRX review can become this as it continues.
  • Actually, pretty much the entire series.
• Fan Nickname: The Meat, for the dirty jokes, perverted monologues and general zaniness that almost always show up at least once. Got its name from the end of the 370Z review:
  You just sat through two very calm reviews. Guess what? You just ate your vegetables, so next week COMES THE MEAT!
• First Installment Wins: The 1995 MX-5 Miata NA is the first and most popular review on the channel, only surpassed by the videos of driving a fire engine, the replica K.I.T.T. and the Ariel Atom.
• Fridge Brilliance: Of course Fiber One would be the perfect sponsor for a show called Regular Car Reviews!
• Heartwarming Moments: His first AE86 Trueno review starts off with his lengthy diss against the Initial D fandom and how it's only popular because of that series, before going into a sincerely appreciative overview of the vehicle and coming to the conclusion that it's really a fun car to drive after all. His second Trueno review starts off similarly, but this time he muses about the layers of pop culture exposure it's had over the years and how it isn't necessarily just Initial D that made the car so popular and still would've become an iconic car even if the "tofu delivery guy turns out to be an awesome racer" anime didn't exist. And just to show that he loves the car and wants someone else to have it, he even did a giveaway for a replica of the Fujiwara Tofu Shop car!
  "What I mean is: Even if it hadn't been for Initial D, you would still have the Drift King [Keiichi Tsuchiya]. He showed the world what this can can do in a video that went viral before that was even a thing. A video that birthed drifting as a motorsport. The whole thing built a legend around a car who, even without the Drift King, and even without Initial D, still had a lengthy motorsport reputation. It was a rally car; a champion of the British touring circuit. It adorned the cover of countless magazines. But without Initial D, without the Drift King, without the motorsports pedigree, this was still a low-cost fun little car with a durable engine, 50:50 weight distribution, live rear axle, handling tighter than a five-inch inseam; this was always going to have an audience."
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Jalopnik did end up running the Subaru WRX review.
  • In their first appearance on The Smoking Tire Podcast, the guys mention having a lot of review offers from Honda Fit drivers. Guess what car Mr. Regular buys after Echo is totaled?
• Memetic Mutation: "Track day, bro!"
  • "NO CLUTCH, NOT A MANUAL."
  • "This is not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus" from the Lexus LS400 review will soon by applied to any picture of an LS400.
  • "Which Corvette is best Corvette?" And plenty of variants.
  • "IMMA TELL YA HOW A ROTARY ENGINE WORKS" and "TRIANGLES TRIANGLES TRIANGLES" from the RX-7 and RX-8 reviews.
  • "BROWN."
  • "NOT A CAR."
• So Okay, It's Average: The consensus on cars like the Mazda 6, Chevy Malibu, and the Infiniti G37
  "The Malibu offers a s-...It's a ride... This is a car."
• Squick: Mr. Regulars inner voice likes going there.
  • MECHANICAL PENCIL LEAD DOWN MY PENIS
  • "They slammed their crotches together until their privates looked like RHUBARB"
  • A lot in the Suzuki GS500 and Bandit reviews.
  "I SHOVE AN ELECTRIC RAZOR BETWEEN MY ASS CHEEKS SO I CAN WIPE EFFECTIVELY."
  • The Volvo S60R review, especially the final monologue.
  *In The Voice* "All Volvos remind me of that time I was at Wendys, and I was eating at the Superbar, and I saw this post-menopausal lady. She got on top of the Superbar, and just dropped her pants and started QUEEFING on everything, she was queefing on all the garbanzo beans. Then she got a turkey baster, and just filled up her snatch with some old POOL WATER, and then just queefed AGAIN and AGAIN AGAINAGAINAGAIN."
