** When she slows down a [[Music/AlvinAndTheChipmunks chipmunks]] song to normal speed (making the whole thing sound horribly distended and making the lyrics unnerving) while showing creepy images in black and white (old horror movies, DomesticAbuse, StuffBlowingUp, ect) and herself miming to it with creepy gestures (and at one point her image becomes blurred so that her face looks like a skull, and it's not helped by the, um, [[AndIMustScream expression]]).

* Mara Wilson's original plan to kill the Chick because she knew it would break the Critic is [[StuffedIntoTheFridge pretty fucked up]] when you think about it. Certainly a step up from showing everyone embarrassing videos of when he was young.

** Her breakdown in that same review is too hilarious to be creepy, but her earlier screeching at MatthewBroderick - about how does he know the exposition he's spouting - comes out unexpected and will at least make you jump.
* She does her best to keep it funny, but the scenes of animal abuse she shows from the film make the ''MiloAndOtis'' review very hard to watch.
* The ''Armageddon'' review ends and the ''{{Bratz}}'' review opens with the Critic tranquilizing the Chick, locking her in a basement and making some incredibly creepy comments. Even though he loses the power and what he's doing ends up sweet, it still comes off as rape-y.
** It's seen as {{fanservice}} more often because of the DoubleStandard involved, but the end of the ''{{Transformers}}'' review where the Chick chloroforms the Critic, hushes him while he screams and fondles his neck while giggling is also pretty bad for implications. That the next episode states that she apparently does this a lot doesn't help.

** Likewise, when the rapping comes into ''SisterAct II'', she begs them to stop with apologies and PleaseIWillDoAnything. If you know her at all, you'll get that [[{{Pride}} she]] ''[[NeverMyFault never]]'' does that, so it makes it unsettling.
