History Funny / TheNostalgiaCritic2017Episodes

* The intro is a parody of the intro of ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'' series, with Critic and how upset he is with this movie instead of Banner and his condition.

-->'''Critic:''' Yep, this is the first action sequence in the movie. One hour in and he's fighting mutant WesternAnimation/{{Pound Puppies|1980s}}. Isn't this always what you wanted? When you saw the Incredible Hulk on [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk TV]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk cartoons]] and in [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk the comics]], weren't you always wishing for the big screen adaptation where he fought the zombie cast of ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp''? [...] So the Hulk defeats the mutant poodle... [[ARareSentence something that I didn't think I'd say while watching this...]]

-->'''Reporter:''' Reclusive adventure-capitalist Scrooge [=McDuck=] is back [...] [[WaxingLyrical solving mysteries and rewriting history]].

-->'''Critic:''' Yep, this is the first action sequence in the movie. One hour in and he's fighting mutant WesternAnimation/{{Pound Puppies|1980s}}. Isn't this always what you wanted? When you saw the Incredible Hulk on [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk TV]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk cartoons]] and in [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk the comics]], weren't you always wishing for the big screen adaptation where he fought the zombie cast of ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp''? [...] So the Hulk defeats the mutant poodle... [[ARareSentence something that I didn't think I'd say while watching this...]]

* The Website/RottenTomatoes rating of this movie? "[[Over9000 It's over 9 perceeeeent!]]" [[note]]14, to be exact[[/note]] Followed by smashing the phone.

-->'''Snob''': [[TooSoon THAT'S A PRETTY BIG OVERLOOK]]!

** And when Critic notices that there's a doll of the [[TakeThatScrappy old Webby pinned to the wall with an arrow]], he remarks "TooSoon"...then asks the writers to get rid of [[WesternAnimation/TaleSpin Molly]] while they're at it.

** WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM [[CutShort Season 3]]

-->'''Critic as Goofy:''' You know, something ''[[Film/SuicideSquad2016 Suicide Squad]]'' [[TakeThat didn't have]]!

* When the Critic falls and cannot continue the review, he and Rob re-enact a scene from ''Film/LordOfTheRings'', complete with Rob wearing a Samwise Gamgee wig. At the end of the speech, Rob tries to lift the Critic off the floor but finds he's not strong enough.

-->'''Critic:''' Yep, this is the first action sequence in the movie. One hour in and he's fighting mutant WesternAnimation/{{Pound Puppies|1980s}}. Isn't this always what you wanted? When you saw the Incredible Hulk on [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk TV]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk cartoons]] and in [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk the comics]], weren't you always wishing for the big screen adaptation where he fought the zombie cast of ''Disney/LadyAndTheTramp''? [...] So the Hulk defeats the mutant poodle... [[ARareSentence something that I didn't think I'd say while watching this...]]

-->'''Executive #2 (Rob):''' Yes, we have a live-action version of ''[[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone Sword in the Stone]]''.

-->'''Executive #1:''' ''[[Disney/TheBlackCauldron Black Cauldron]]''?

-->'''Executive #1:''' A ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''-style [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] movie?

* A fake ad proposes the idea of this film leading to a ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' [[TheVerse Cinematic Universe]]:

-->'''Tony''': (disinterested) [[LongList Yeah, just like]] [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]], and Disney/{{Pinocchio}}, and [[Disney/LadyAndTheTramp Trusty]], and [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Aurora]], and [[Film/DarbyOGillAndTheLittlePeople Darby O'Gill]], and [[Disney/TheJungleBook Baloo]], and Disney/RobinHood, and [[Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound Chief]], and [[Disney/TheBlackCauldron Gurgi]], and [[Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective Basil]], and [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]], and [[Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar Iago]], and [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]], and [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Megara]], and [[Film/{{Enchanted}} Giselle]], and WesternAnimation/WallE, and [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Flynn]], and [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Iron Man]], and [[Disney/WreckItRalph Ralph]], and [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Anna]], and [[Disney/BigHero6 Baymax]].

* The mention of a live-action ''Disney/HomeOnTheRange'' remake.

* Scrooge tells Beakley of the prophecy that will lead the way to Altantis, but Critic thinks of another [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire Atlantis expedition]].

* Critic describes Pixiu as a Chinese dragon who, much like the live-action remake of ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', [[TakeThat is only there]] [[MoneyDearBoy to consume riches]].

* As Goofy and Max settle down in a ocean-themed motel room, described as "''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'''s love shack", containing transparent waterbeds with live fish in them:

* With the Mickey Mouse Talking Phone, the Critic imagines what it'd be like with other Disney options, including Disney/{{Bambi}}, [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Judge Frollo]], the entire cast of ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', and the crows from ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}''. Bonus points for the father in the ImagineSpot being portrayed by Malcolm, especially when it comes to the latter two, and the outcome of him smashing the Talking Phone violently after calling the crows. In the commercial itself, the Critic remarks that the characters don't actually sound like themselves at all: WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse sounds like "a drunken old lady shouting obscenities", [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] sounds like just another woman (which should be enough to fool the kids at their young age), and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck sounds like one of the Martians in ''Film/MarsAttacks''.

'''Critic:''' [[BigNo NO!]] [[DistinctionWithoutADifference ...Maybe.]]

** Moments earlier, he gripes about how this is basically a "diet version of [[Series/{{Batman}} the Adam West show]]", and then adds...

** He eventually gives in and looks up the true story of the serum run and how in reality, Balto didn't even do the majority of the run and only received credit for the run because he was a part of the final team to deliver the medicine. We cut to the niece in "the future" reading the same article, glaring at Aunt Despair in awkward silence.

** Likewise when it's revealed that Leia was giving order to Holdo. Poe asks why she didn't just bother to tell anyone else and avoid a mutiny. They don't really have an answer for it. Ending with Holdo sprouting "SHUT UP!"

* When the main characters go to a temple and find a monk played by Ernie Hudson:
-->"So Chew the Fat, Harmony Starr, Surf Ninja and Elijah Wooden all travel to the Temple of Underappreciated Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}..."

* Several of the jokes towards the Critic's decision to shave off his hair after reaching enlightenment, including Tamara confusing the Critic with the Cinema Snob as a Buddhist, and Malcolm's bafflement at the Critic having hair (considering that Critic is almost always seen with his hat on).

-->'''Goofy as Critic:''' A-hyuck! [[PuffOfLogic Did we just implode our universe for a minute]]? ... Oh well! [Continues driving]

-->'''Critic!Victor:''' Aflac [[PrecisionFStrike Motherfucker!]]

* The markings on Duck!Victor's beak look like a Hitler mustache, leading Critic to complain that he's now thinking about Duck Hitler. This leads to the clip of Donald Duck doing a rapid-fire nazi salute from Der Führer's Face. Later, Duck!Victor makes a holocaust joke ("It starts with the ducks, and soon no one is safe!"). The Critic is off-put at "Duck Hitler" making that joke.

* The Critic questions why a dungeon that Garfield was locked in has an easily-accessible escape route. This leads to a sketch where Malcolm!Joker traps Tamara!Batgirl in a room about to be filled with laughing gas... only Joker ''[[WhatAnIdiot left the door open]]'', allowing Batgirl to leave. He even sees her walking out the room, but just does nothing about it.

--> '''Rob!Director:''' Oh, please, come on. Come on.\\
'''Doug!Cleese:''' No, no! No, no! I've done many things I'm not proud of: ''[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail Fievel Goes West]]'', ''[[Film/{{Beethoven}} Beethoven's Christmas Adventure]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSwanPrincess Swan Princess]]''. But I'm drawing the line at ''The Tale of Two Titties''!\\
'''Rob!Director:''' Actually, it's "Two Kitties."\\
'''Doug!Cleese:''' I know what I said. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to film in ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPlutoNash''.\\
'''Rob!Director:''' What... Over our movie?!\\
'''Doug!Cleese:''' Not proudly, but firmly. Fuck off, pigs.

-->'''Critic!Reed:''' Holy smokes, I made weed! We're gonna be the Fantastic 420!

-->'''Critic!Meeker:''' The devil is in me! I am the beginning of his evil reign!

---> '''Critic!Fred:''' [[CousinOliver You look more like a creation]] [[SeasonalRot of a TV show ratings]] [[TakeThat slump!]]

'''Doug!Dexter Tolliver:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Wonder Woman.]]\\

'''Tamara!Admiral Olsen:''' The Flash.\\

'''Doug!Dexter:''' Aquaman.\\

'''Tamara!Olsen:''' Cyborg.\\

'''Doug!Dexter:''' [[OverlyLongGag Batman.]]\\

'''Tamara!Olsen:''' [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie Lego-Batman.]]\\

'''Doug!Dexter:''' (he closes the folder) [[NoJustNoReaction Nope.]]\\

--->'''Critic!Batman:''' It's over, Film/Deadpool2016!\\
'''Malcolm!Deadshot:''' Deadshot!\\
'''Critic!Batman:''' Oh, well this movie got a whole lot less cool.

* Orlando!Slipknot getting quite pissed off when he realizes that since he didn't get any bright credits or backstory that means he's only in the movie to die. NC dismantles the head explosion chip out of "white guilt," but then Leto!Jim blows up his head anyway, when it turns out he has a similar remote.
* Critic!Rick Flag's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Amanda Waller, in which he goes insane pointing out how big of a failure the Squad was (in which one can't tell if he's talking about the Squad in-universe or the film) before breaking down into her shoulder.

-->'''Critic!Predator 1''' (after witnessing one of the human characters begin to freeze to death in a helpless state): Christ, we went from [[Film/{{Predator}} Schwarzenegger]] to ''this''?! Take his skull, Frank!\\
'''Critic!Predator 2''': But I don't want to take his skull! ''You'' take his skull!\\
'''Critic!Predator 1''': (as they begin walking away) Fine! Neither of us will take his skull! We'll just let Time kill him and piss on his corpse.\\

'''Critic!Predator 3''': Hi. I'm [[StealthPun Time]].\\

'''Critic!Predator 2''': Mine's bigger.\\
'''Critic!Predator 1''': Shut up, Frank.
* The RunningGag of the Jock trio giving each other high-fives, but always leaving Jock!Critic hanging. The increasing desperation in his face is humorous and sad at the same time.

-->'''Critic!Batman:''' Piss off, [[WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower She-Ra!]]

--->'''Critic!Batman''': Nyuck Nyuck!

--> '''Malcolm!Steve:''' Look, there's not a lot of Black people in this movie. If we played it for real, the only role I would have is the [[TokenMinority Black Amazon]]! ''(Wonder Woman looks to the side to see Malcolm in a wig and armor standing with her Mother and Aunt)''

-->'''Zuul''': ZUUL, MOTHERFU— ''[stops short]'' Oh, my God. Are you serious?! Th-that's not the final thing, is it? I- Oh, sorry. (clears throat) ZUUL, MOTHERFU- ''breaks down laughing'' What is this?! Guys! Guys, come on! No!

-->'''Critic!Stan Lee:''' Ang, I know you directed ''Film/CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon''; uh, is there any chance you can actually put ''in'' a crouching tiger or a hidden dragon? I'm just saying, I created ''WesternAnimation/{{Stripperella}}'', and [[EveryoneHasStandards even I'm finding this pretty dumb]].

-->'''Critic!Helicopter Pilot:''' [[TakeThat Come back or we won't give you]] [[DesignatedLoveInterest a pointless]] [[StrangledByTheRedString romance]] [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron with Black Widow!]] Okay, fine! You get [[HoYay a subtext romance]] [[Film/ThorRagnarok with Thor!]]

-->'''Critic!Soldier 1:''' Oh, my God! Make him angry!
-->'''Critic!Soldier 2:''' Tell him [[BoxOfficeBomb the movie's gonna bomb]]!
-->'''Critic!Soldier 3:''' Tell him [[Creator/EricBana he's]] [[TheOtherDarrin gonna be replaced by]] [[Creator/EdwardNorton two]] [[Creator/MarkRuffalo actors]]! TWO!

-->'''Critic!Glenn:''' Mr. Giant, I swear I ate all my vegetables ''[gets thrown through the house]'' AHH!

-->'''Tony!Bull''': Where's that little girl? I've got a score to settle!

-->'''Goofy!Critic:''' A-hyuck! [[PuffOfLogic Did we just implode our universe for a minute]]? ... Oh well! [Continues driving]

-->'''Goofy!Critic:''' You know, something ''[[Film/SuicideSquad2016 Suicide Squad]]'' [[TakeThat didn't have]]!

-->'''Goofy!Critic:''' A-hyuck, I committed abstract murder.

--->'''Goofy!Critic:''' A-hyuck, I killed a mime.

* When Georgie (played by Tamara) encounters the 2017 Pennywise in the storm drain, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he just runs for it.]] Also, Curry!Pennywise's ''perfectly''-delivered commentary on the [[FridgeLogic absurd creepiness]] of that scene:

* The Critic and Curry!Pennywise making fun of Skarsgård!Pennywise's "scary" run.
--> '''Curry!Pennywise''': You look and sound like a possessed Olaf from ''Frozen''.

--> '''Malcolm!Bully''': This feels a little [[IncrediblyLamePun self-defeating]].

-->'''Skarsgård!Pennywise:''' Oh come on, people just stopped playing Gangnam Style over that!

-->'''Skarsgård!Pennywise:''' They're not Jared Leto?

* After Joker advises both Skarsgård!Pennywise and Curry!Pennywise to be scary ''and'' funny, Curry!Pennywise suddenly remembers the Clown Prince of Crime from somewhere.
--> '''Curry!Pennywise:''' Hey! Wasn't I originally up for your role?\\

-->'''NC!!Mario:''' I was calm on the outside, but thinking all of the time. So now it was Yoshi the general, saying what to do and what not to do. Well, I viddied what to do.

-->'''NC!!Mario:''' Never forgive, asshole!
-->'''NC!!DK:''' You're a dickhead, Mario!
-->'''NC!!Mario:''' You're the dickhead!

--->'''Bunny!Critic''': Oh, God, no! I'm the last of my kind! Oh, sweet Jesus! That's where [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Skeeter]] went!

-->'''Kermit!Critic''': [[Series/TheMuppets Our show]] [[TakeThat bombed]], and so now we're doing this. YAAAAYYY!

* Critic notices the overabundance of [[ClicheStorm cliched]] [[TwoLinesNoWaiting subplots]] and has his crew do the same, with less-than-stellar results, though still more coherent than the ones in the film. Of note is when Chester and Doe (who he asked to have a dance off) reveal their dancing instructor: [[spoiler: Darth Vader]].

'''[[spoiler:Vader]]:''' It wouldn't be the first time I've obliterated these rodents.[[labelnote:Context]]''Road Chip'' was released head-to-head with ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' and was, well, ''obliterated'' at the box office.[[/labelnote]]

** Just before this, the Critic's reaction upon hearing "[[UnintentionalPeriodPiece In the words of]] [[UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump the Donald]] - '[[Series/TheApprentice You're fired]]!'"
--->'''Critic''': (''{{Beat}}'') Yes. ''[[SarcasmMode Those]]'' will be the most memorable words [[OvershadowedByControversy that we ever take away from "The Donald"]]. I suppose when you think about it, there- (''whistle'') ''How is he tweeting about me already''?! [[BeyondTheImpossible I'm not even done with the joke]]!\\

* Critic tries to figure out why Patrick thinks Victor is such a bad stepdad and grandfather, in spite of the fact that he does nothing, nor does there seem to be any reason for Patrick to hate him. He then launches into SarcasmMode and basically calls Victor literally Satan for being a fun stepdad (with the exception of giving away Patrick's pet parrot because he was allergic, [[spoiler: although actually it was Patrick that was allergic to the bird]]) for most of the review.

* After Smurfette threatens to use her wand against Gargamel, he claims she won't because [[spoiler: [[LukeIAmYourFather he is her father]], and that she should "[[Franchise/StarWars search [her] feelings, [as she] knows it to be true]]".]] This leads to [[spoiler: Darth Vader]] standing next to the Critic, FlippingTheBird at the movie, and silently walking away. The Critic then states he was surprised [[spoiler: [[TemptingFate Vader didn't do his]] BigNo, only for Vader to do it directly afterwards.]]
** Later, after Patrick makes an incredibly lame {{pun}} (calling his stepdad duck "[[UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr Martin Luther Wing]]"), [[spoiler: Vader]] appears and flips the movie off again.
--->'''Critic:''' But that wasn't ''[[spoiler: Star Wars]]'' related!\\
'''[[spoiler: Vader]]:''' It just feels good, okay?
* The markings on Duck!Victor's beak look like a Hitler mustache, leading Critic to complain that he's now thinking about Duck Hitler. This leads to the clip of Donald Duck doing a rapid-fire nazi salute from Der Führer's Face.
** Later, Duck!Victor makes a holocaust joke ("It starts with the ducks, and soon no one is safe!"). The Critic is off-put at "Duck Hitler" making that joke.

-->'''Critic''': I'm just astonished there's a ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys'' homage and yet no Creator/MickeyRooney [[YellowFace makeup]]. Imagine how that would've gone! [[spoiler: ''{{{Beat}} as nothing happens)'' Oh ''hell'' no I'm not doing a sketch on that, I wanna keep ''this'' channel!]]
* The Critic's constant mocking of Patrick's son, [[spoiler:only to find his foot firmly in his mouth near the end when he learns that the same actor was nominated for a SAG award as Jack from ''Literature/{{Room}}''.]]

** His mockery of the kid's performance with parody takes gets especially funny with how venomous he sounds. By the end of the gag, the kid's voice comes eerily close to sounding like Creator/GilbertGottfried.
--->'''Blue:''' Daddy and Victor!\\

* At the end of the review, Tamara and [[RememberTheNewGuy Bill]][[labelnote:Context]]A character played by Malcolm who appears out of nowhere with no real introduction, similar to Hackus and Vexy in the movie.[[/labelnote]] chastise the Critic for only reviewing two movies for Sequel Month. They manage to convince the Critic to review one more sequel, and the video ends on a {{Cliffhanger}}... [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope only for Bill to hold up a sign saying the next review will be]] "''Garfield 2''" (''Film/{{Garfield}}: [[PrinceAndPauper A Tale of Two Kitties]]'').]]

* Later, Bakshi reveals to the Critic that he escaped from the "Institute for the Artistically Insane", along with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Taymor Julie Taymor]] and Creator/SpikeLee. They also noted there was someone else who tried to escape but failed: [[spoiler:Creator/MNightShyamalan]]. And his cellmate is [[spoiler: Creator/WoodyAllen]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Shyamalan]]:''' But I had two hit movies back-to-back![[labelnote:note]]''Film/TheVisit'' and ''Film/{{Split}}''.[[/labelnote]]\\
'''[[spoiler:Allen]]:''' Don't worry about it, just get yourself nominated for another Oscar and they'll forget all the horrible things you've done!

** After Frank is brought to Cool World, the Critic quips that Brad Pitt is now in an entirely different movie: ''[[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Who Plagiarized Roger Rabbit]]''.

* When Hyper and Devil Boner can't solve their problems with Critic's help, they get some proper help from Benny's brother specializing in couples therapy: [[spoiler:Bill!]]

* [[spoiler:Hyper Boner happily go off at the end of the episode together, but Critic is still tied up.]]

* Likewise, his complete shock at the coffins being made for the children, which rapidly turns into a BlackComedyBurst as he envisions children from other media being laid to rest in them. These include [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Tiny Tim,]] Literature/TheLittleMatchGirl and a Manga/FullmetalAlchemist spoiler ([[spoiler:Chimera Nina Tucker]]).
-->'''Critic:''' Don't act like that can't happen, [[spoiler:there's dogs in this world!]]

-->'''Critic:''' I shouldn't. ''(looks over at phone)'' I really shouldn't. ''(looks at phone again)'' C'mon, let the kids [[spoiler:have their true story.]] ''(looks at phone again, tempted to make the joke)''\\

'''Critic:''' OKAY! OKAY! ''(Quickly scrolls through phone)'' [[spoiler:''(speaks while typing in a search engine)'' "Balto facts"]] ''(looks up at audience)'' You're not gonna like it.\\

** He eventually gives in and [[spoiler:looks up the true story of the serum run and how in reality, Balto didn't even do the majority of the run and only received credit for the run because he was a part of the final team to deliver the medicine. We cut to the niece in "the future" reading the same article, glaring at Aunt Despair in awkward silence.]]

--->'''Aunt''': Oh, I just wanted to leave her here so that I didn't have to tell her that [[spoiler: ''both'' parents died from double-erotic asphyxiation]]. ''(Cut to the niece looking horrified)'' Well, that backfired. [[ParentalAbandonment She's all yours, Critic]]!

* Orlando!Slipknot getting quite pissed off when he realizes that since he didn't get any bright credits or backstory that means he's only in the movie to die. NC dismantles the head explosion chip out of "white guilt," [[spoiler:but then Leto!Jim blows up his head anyway, when it turns out he has a similar remote.]]

* The revelation that White Chart Guy is the reason that there are so many giant sky beams to the point of cliche in films. Because he has a fetish for it. Indeed he does, to the point of carrying around a picture of various portal-in-the-sky examples from several movies, to... [[ADateWithRosiePalms well...]]
** Funnier still is a later point in the review where the chart guys show up, [[{{Squick}} the paper sticks to his hand.]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Black Chart Guy looks disturbed at this.]]
* How does the Critic think the ending could've been improved in a way that it could get a bigger reaction? Instead of [[spoiler: Joker breaking Harley out]], it's [[spoiler: BILL!]]
** Amusingly enough, in the audience showing of the episode, Bill's cameo did indeed garner a great reaction from the crowd.

* When the German landing party pursuing Steve Trevor in Themyscira [[spoiler:mortally wound General Antiope]], Diana laments that if there was only a way for her to [[spoiler:defend Antiope, while at same time showing off her bullet-deflecting bracelets. This makes Antiope get up and say "Seriously?!" before being shot again in the head]].
* After [[spoiler:Antiope is killed]], her actress appears again playing an Amazon [[spoiler:(a different one)]], with the only difference between the two [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus being a sign]] reading "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8I3zCQzZx68 Different Person]]."
* [[spoiler:Ares]] suggests Dr. Poison to create "a body-crushing gas for peaceful purposes":

-->'''[[spoiler:Ares]]:''' [[EvenEvilHasStandards Don't do that! Even I am not that evil!]]
* Tamara actually [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] when [[spoiler:it's revealed that the scrawny Sir Patrick Morgan is actually Ares in disguise]], believing that it's a joke for the review, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer and Critic has to tell her that it's not]].
* [[spoiler: Wonder Woman, after meeting Ares, tells him that she's going to destroy him with her 'disintegrating sword'... [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury "And brother, when it disintegrates, it disintegrates!"]], she goes for a stab... only for Ares to hold out his hand and the sword disintegrates to pieces.]]
--> '''Wonder Woman:''' [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury Well, what do you know? It disintegrated.]]]]
* After expressing his disappointment with [[spoiler:Ares having the appereance of a scrawny, stuffy British man]], Critic gets pumped up when [[spoiler:Ares reveals his One-Winged Angel form]], only to get disappointed again when [[spoiler:he does indeed become a big, honking monster... but still having the face of his scrawny, stuffy British man appearance]].
* [[spoiler:Ares]] decides to kill Wonder Woman with every DC villain's ultimate weapon... [[MotiveRant OVERWRITTEN DIALOGUES]]!
** And then Batman and Superman [[BrickJoke once again show up]] to compliment [[spoiler:Ares]] on his pretentious speech. Then [[spoiler:''Ares'']] [[EveryoneHasStandards summons the archers to drive them away]].

* [[spoiler:Steve Trevor wryly notes that at least his death was better than Superman's right before he sacrifices himself.]]
* [[spoiler:Ares']] snide remark about [[spoiler:Steve Trevor's death]]? That it was a quicker [[spoiler:death]] than the [[Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot 2011 Wonder Woman TV series]].

** Later on, when he realizes that [[spoiler:this movie isn't as bad as some the others he's reviewed, and that he hasn't actually achieved enlightenment]], it's ''then'' that he realizes he shaved his head.
** At that point, Malcolm once again questions if the Critic really has hair. [[spoiler:Cut to Malcolm and Tamara running out of the building while the Critic lunges at them with a katana.]]

* As a BrickJoke, [[spoiler: the ending turns out to also be a parody of the EveryEpisodeEnding of ''The Incredible Hulk'' series, just like the intro.]]

* In the opening, the Critic states that he likes WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry and ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', but "similar to welcomely-divorced parents, just because I like them individually, does not mean they shouldn't stay miles away from each other."
** He's genuinely put-off by the fact that it's a ShotForShotRemake, and then we get the bit where the girl gets smacked in the chin by the Candy Man's counter - which is [[ShownTheirWork faithfully recreated here]].
--->'''Critic''': Wait, spoke too soon! This is already ''weird''.

** "A ''cane?'' PISS ON HIS CORPSE! [[HitlerAteSugar You know who else had a cane? THE DEVIL!”]]
* Just the sight of [[FurryConfusion a dog on a leash]] is enough to make the Critic question how this world works, since the dogs that were previously seen were all [[FunnyAnimal Funny Animals]] that have jobs and laws.
** Which ties into a joke he admitted was ActuallyPrettyFunny, where ''{{WesternAnimation/Droopy}}'' was the fake fifth winner - and the Critic's brain then breaks when he sees Droopy getting led away in handcuffs.

* When [[spoiler: Balthazar seemingly dies]], Critic and Tony are [[GenreSavvy well aware of what's going on]].

-->'''Tony''': (disinterested) [[LongList Yeah, just like]] [[spoiler: [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]], and Disney/{{Pinocchio}}, and [[Disney/LadyAndTheTramp Trusty]], and [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Aurora]], and [[Film/DarbyOGillAndTheLittlePeople Darby O'Gill]], and [[Disney/TheJungleBook Baloo]], and Disney/RobinHood, and [[Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound Chief]], and [[Disney/TheBlackCauldron Gurgi]], and [[Disney/TheGreatMouseDetective Basil]], and [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]], and [[Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar Iago]], and [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Esmeralda]], and [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Megara]], and [[Film/{{Enchanted}} Giselle]], and WesternAnimation/WallE, and [[Disney/{{Tangled}} Flynn]], and [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Iron Man]], and [[Disney/WreckItRalph Ralph]], and [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Anna]], and [[Disney/BigHero6 Baymax]].]]

** First, he's tricked by someone who claims to be Creator/NicolasCage inviting him to [[Film/TheWickerMan2006 wear bear suits]] and sing the ''WesternAnimatinon/DuckTales1987'' theme in Egypt. [[spoiler: It was Tony who called him.]]
** Next, he's called by someone claiming to be Wrestling/SgtSlaughter inviting him to go to Africa to wrestle lions until their heads explode. [[spoiler: It's actually Devil Boner.]]
** Then, someone pretends to be Creator/StanleyKubrick, who came BackFromTheDead to make the Nostagia Critic movie on the moon. [[spoiler: This time, it's Bill.]] What makes this one especially funny is that [[spoiler: Bill doesn't even say a word]], and yet [[SuperGullible Critic]] ''[[SuperGullible still]]'' [[SuperGullible fell for it!]]
** Finally, he's called by someone claiming to be [[Music/{{Slipknot}} Corey Taylor]]. This time, Critic plays along with the caller and sarcastically guesses that his son Griff Taylor, Hyper Fangirl, Black Willy Wonka, Rob Scallon, and Chester A. Bum are going to tour in an ice cream truck. When the caller says that's all correct, Critic hangs up, dismissing it as another prank. [[spoiler: Except it's not.]]

** Beforehand, when Dewey yells at Scrooge for lumping him with the others "while he drives", Critic tries to reassure him.

* As the episode ends, Critic prepares to celebrate by drinking out of his favorite and most expensive champagne glass with his favorite and most expensive champagne inside. Then comes TheReveal that [[spoiler: the nephews' barely-mentioned mother will play a part in the series' MythArc]], [[DramaticDrop and, well...]]
-->'''Critic:''' [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Do you know how close I was to dropping that?]]]]
** He goes off on a rant about [[spoiler: the reveal of Della Duck]] and how he never considered the triplets had [[spoiler: ''actual'' parents]].

* John Malkovich is the narrator of the video. He not only [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat knows what Critic is going to say]], but has prepared several statements reassuring them that yes, this is a recording. [[spoiler:He's lying and is Skyping in from another room.]]

* Cosplaying Asshole Deadpool gets the chance [[SchmuckBait to touch Hyper's breasts]], [[spoiler: unaware that Devil Boner would beat the shit out of him]]. So yes, Hyper managed to pull off a ''[[NotHyperbole literal]]'' BoobyTrap.

* When Georgie (played by Tamara) encounters the 2017 Pennywise in the storm drain, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he just runs for it.]]
** Also, Curry!Pennywise's ''perfectly''-delivered commentary on the [[FridgeLogic absurd creepiness]] of that scene:

-->'''Critic''': Yeah, I guess I'll give the movie this. Instead of the fat kid trope being obsessed with-\\

* When the bullies (one of them played by Malcom) are bullying Mike ([[ActingForTwo who is also played by Malcom]])...
--> '''Malcom!Bully''': This feels a little [[IncrediblyLamePun self-defeating]].
* When the Losers Club is recruiting Mike, he only accepts if he's not getting shoved into the background like Stan. Then Stan explains that, since there are already too many characters as it is, he was inevitably the one who had to be OutOfFocus, so he gets replaced with a cardboard cutout until he does something. Right after that, Mike gets shoved into the background with him as well. They spend most of the review as freeze-takes.
** When it's the moment to take out Henry, the group call Mike to do it, unfreezing him. Before Stan also gets to expose his background, they tell him that there's no time and he will be relegated to the DVD extras.

* When Pennywise is transforming into the kids' fears, one of them is Creator/TommyWiseau. [[TakeThat The kids immediately start beating him up at this point.]]
** Bonus points for the actor playing Bill [[FunnyBackgroundEvent trying to keep his wig on before giving up and tossing it on Wiseau/Pennywise like a weapon]].

* Bill, Ben, and Beverly check [[Literature/{{IT}} the book]] to see what Beverly would do originally... and are intensely disturbed and disgusted by [[spoiler: the tunnel sex scene]], immediately agreeing to [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain just blow kisses to each other and never think about it again.]]

* TheReveal that [[spoiler:The Critic is actually the Joker in disguise, telling them that they should be both scary and funny]].
-->'''[[spoiler:Joker:]]''' [[spoiler:Do you know how many incarnations of the Joker there's been? Tons! And do you know what the best ones have in common?]]
-->'''Skarsgård!Pennywise:''' They're not [[spoiler:Jared Leto]]?
-->'''[[spoiler:Joker:]]''' ... Yes.
* After [[spoiler: Joker advises both]] Skarsgård!Pennywise and [[spoiler:Curry!Pennywise to be scary ''and'' funny, Curry!Pennywise suddenly remembers the Clown Prince of Crime from somewhere.]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Curry!Pennywise:]]''' [[spoiler: Hey! Wasn't I originally up for your role?]]\\
'''[[spoiler: Joker]]''' [[spoiler: [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Woop! Gotta go!]] ''(jumps out the window as he does his SignatureLaugh)'']]

* The end credits have Rob and Malcom having a WhosOnFirst routine with the name "It".

* The ending: the Critic rejoices finally getting a chance to talk about the original ''Mummy'' movie... only to be interrupted by [[spoiler:The Angry Video Game Nerd, who convinces Critic to collaborate with him, in order to redeem the "good Mummy films" (in reference to the 1932 and 1959 movies), by reviewing the 2017 re-remake next week]].

* Critic gushing over a commercial about a dog sitting in the middle of a room... [[spoiler:before a [[MoodWhiplash gun is pointed at the animal.]]]] Cue the flipping out.

** The organization’s logo, RSPCA appears at the end of the commercial, in which Critic looks it up. After doing some research, he finds out that this was actually a PSA from [[spoiler: Britain.]]
--->'''Critic:''' '''''[[SuddenlyShouting OH, OF COURSE!]]''''' When you’re doing crumpets, you’re all [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets]] and dancing, but when you’re doing a PSA, ''YOU’RE KILLING DOGS!'' '''''[[spoiler:[[CallBack NEW CANADA!]]]]'''''
--->'''Critic''': I would think this is a [[DarkerandEdgier gritty reboot]] of ''[[Film/CatsandDogs Cats & Dogs]]'' directed by [[Creator/ChristopherNolan Christopher Nolan.]]

* With the Mickey Mouse Talking Phone, the Critic imagines what it'd be like with other Disney options, including Disney/{{Bambi}}, [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Judge Frollo]], the entire cast of ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', and the crows from ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}''. Bonus points for the father in the ImagineSpot being portrayed by Malcolm, especially when it comes to the latter two, and the outcome of him smashing the Talking Phone violently after calling the crows.
** In the commercial itself, the Critic remarks that the characters don't actually sound like themselves at all: WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse sounds like "a drunken old lady shouting obscenities", [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]] sounds like just another woman (which should be enough to fool the kids at their young age), and WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck sounds like one of the Martians in ''Film/MarsAttacks''.
--->'''Critic:''' Three out of three wrong! That's pretty impressive.

* At one point, he says the special would look better if they simply played ''VideoGame/TheSims'' and talked over it.
** How bad is it? The Critic spends the commercial break staring at the sun so he'll see something better.

** Later, he does some {{Backmasking}} magic to discover [[spoiler:she's really telling him that the film contains hints to a massive conspiracy... and he decides [[IgnoranceIsBliss it's better to remain ignorant]] than watch it again.]]

** The Critic calling Smithy's sandwich Film/{{Zardoz}}.

** The Critic creeped out by the characters' lack of eyelids.
* Critic dubbing over [[ActorAllusion Eric]] with [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries the Joker's voice]].
** Earlier, he dubbed in the "We Are Nintendo" ad's creepy voices.
* Critic's amazement that the special ends with Eric shouting "SHUT THAT DOOR" and puts it in other (better) Christmas specials (specifically, ''Home Alone'', ''How The Grinch Stole Christmas'', and ''A Christmas Carol'').
** [[spoiler: He also ends the review with it.]]

-->'''Critic''': Oh, waitwaitwaitwait. Out of the "magnitude" of variety we've had in this film so far, let me take a guess, a ''wild'' goddamn guess of what's coming ''(Cue to "Dark Room Talking" with Reed and Ben)'' OH MY GOD! Why is this "Fantastic"?! Your goddamn movie is called "Fantastic Four" and you can't even get one fantastic thing in it! Why is talking in a goddamn dark room fantastic?! Did you have an upbringing like the boy from ''Literature/{{Room}}''?! Is this literally all you know?! What, is the outside only explained to you in pictures and stories? And so, could you tell one of those dozens that are more interesting than this horseshit?!

* Luke explaining to Rey how Kylo went to the Dark Side. Here we see him about to kill Kylo, who's snuggled up with a teddy bear. He decides against it but Kylo wakes up and sees Luke holding the ignited lightsaber and giving an awkward, embarrassed smile to him.

--->'''Bunny!Critic''': Oh, God, no! I'm the last of my kind! Oh, sweet Jesus! That's where [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies Skeeter]] went!
