History NostalgiaChick / TropesSToZ

* YourCheatingHeart: She lets out an involuntary "aww" when hearing [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Meg's]] "saved her boyfriend and he left her" backstory.

** Three uses in quick succession in ''Film/{{Dune}}'', followed later by a "do I really need to say it"?

* ThreeMonthOldNewborn: She is quick to note how [[BlackBestFriend Nicole's]] baby is "smegmaless" and "Caucasian" after it's born in ''Spice World''.

* ScareChord: One happens when ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'' pops up to answer her question about why Creator/DonBluth failed so hard in the nineties.

* StagingAnIntervention: Spoofs this with Nella, Elisa, and the girls intervening in Chick's hatred for ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1''.

* VillainSong: The evil witch's song in ''Film/TheWorstWitch'' gets cut back to back with "[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1 Poor Unfortunate Souls]]" to make it look even more horrid.

* WomenDrivers: In ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1'', she horrifiedly notes that Eric let Ariel drive the carriage thing, "the fool".

** She finally emits one in earnest when the topic of Gollum comes up in her ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings: The Two Towers'' review.

* SarcasmFailure: The nonsensical plot of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'' leaves the Chick saying "...I got nothing." At one point, all she can is do point at the screen and go "Boo!"

* ScareChord: One happens when ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' pops up to answer her question about why Creator/DonBluth failed so hard in the nineties.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: A ninja is sent from Disney to silence her when she theorizes that ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' was just made to expand the Franchise/DisneyPrincess merchandising line.

* SlowPacedBeginning: In-universe. ''Disney/CinderellaIIIATwistInTime'' has a disgustingly cute five minutes, but then becomes probably the best Disney sequel. (That isn't ''[[Disney/TheRescuers The Rescuers Down Under]]''.)

* SmallAnnoyingCreature: She might love dogs, but Scamp from ''Disney/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure/'' just fails at being a likeable character.

** ''Disney/BrotherBear'' was on the "meh" side of okay. And Todd and Lindsay say this is the best that most Disney sequels can hope for, Todd falling asleep through half of them.

* SoftWater: She points how ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'' (and her raccoon and hummingbird) jumping from a cliff into a lake and still surviving isn't really possible.

* StagingAnIntervention: Spoofs this with Nella, Elisa, and the girls intervening in Chick's hatred for ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid''.

* SuckinessIsPainful: The [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas interquel]] to her one of her [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast favorite movies ever]] causes her great and intense pain.

** Subverted at the end of ''Disney/TheLionKing'':

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: In-universe. She readily admits to disliking the original ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'' because the characters are so boring, so enjoys ''[[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella III]]'' for retconning personality traits into the leads, the animation actually pretty decent and showing off self-aware humor.
** Like Critic, she thinks ''Disney/TheRescuers'' is deathly dull and its sequel awesome. So much so that it shouldn't even be given the indignity of going on a "least worst" list.
* SweetOnPollyOliver: In ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', she subscribes to the theory that Shang had the hots for boy!Mulan.

** Subverted with ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound''. In her ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'' review, she showed the poster when she said Disney was in the pits, making people think she didn't like the film. It turns out that she loves it for how dark and subtle it is.

** (Regarding ''Disney/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'') "Oh, Genie, you and your pop culture references. Anti-reference joke brigade, prepare to feel a wrath far greater than any Internet reviewer could come up with."

** Seeing as how she immediately said how grotesque and offensive ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'' was to her, you ''knew'' it was going be a good one for suffering.

* TrueCompanions: Parodied and defied. The Chick calls the team her "extended family" in ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'', but the only one who gives a shit about anyone else is Nella.

** Her theory for why, unlike the first movie, ''Disney/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure'' keeps showing the faces of the humans.

* VillainSong: The evil witch's song in ''Film/TheWorstWitch'' gets cut back to back with "[[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Poor Unfortunate Souls]]" to make it look even more horrid.

** The RunningGag of the her ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas'' review is her breaking out the "Simple Plan" music and crying a SingleTear every time a character in the film indulges in this.

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The Chick and Nella ended up doing something involving bunnies after they passed out from the DrinkingGame they played while watching Disney's ''Disney/{{Hercules}}''. Also, they're wearing lipstick that they weren't before, and there's a strange guy in the kitchen.

* WomenDrivers: In ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', she horrifiedly notes that Eric let Ariel drive the carriage thing, "the fool".

** For ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'': "He's like a puppy! We're meant to be endeared by his simpleness."

* YourCheatingHeart: She lets out an involuntary "aww" when hearing [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Meg's]] "saved her boyfriend and he left her" backstory.

* TropesAreNotBad: Although there's a lot of movies she reviews that are way too light, gloss over history or are pretty dumb fairy tales, she understands that fantasy and wanting everything to be sweet and Disney-like aren't bad things.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Present in some of her rhyming during ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' review. At point she inserts a TakeThat to the Critic's own rhyming review of ''TheGrinch'', calling him a "noxious dilettante". Because "bitchy KnowNothingKnowItAll" wouldn't have sounded so academic.

** When Leopold looks confused at ''Series/ThePrisoner'', she reassures him that she had no idea what was going on there either.

** Only a few minutes of ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' gets her crying and ''{{Transformers}} II'' sends her into a three month long bad movie coma.

** The ''SpiderMan'' musical ''[[Theatre/SpiderManTurnOffTheDark Turn Off The Dark]]'', especially the Green Goblin's CampGay "Freak Like Me" VillainSong.

** Calling the boob song in ''MyLittlePony'' [[DamnedByFaintPraise the best one]] is like calling ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' the best out out the ''StarWars'' prequels.

* SurpriseIncest: The original plot of the first "Thanks For The Feedback" was apparently going to be a ShoutOut to Luke and Leia from ''StarWars'', with Chick and Critic going all the way and then finding out they were related.

** The end credits for the "Top 11 Villainesses" has a bit of a rant about Creator/ChristopherNolan's [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga Batman films]] for being a sausagefest and showing off his daddy issues.

** When reviewing Rankin-Bass's ''WesternAnimation/TheLastUnicorn'', she blurts out that his version of ''TheLordOfTheRings'' was "terrible!".

* JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: InUniverse. Frequently brings up tropes and does ConversationalTroping on her show.

* SequelEpisode: The Chick's ''{{Film/Matilda}}'' review includes Creator/MaraWilson and her supernatural powers, following her appearance in the Critic's review of ''ASimpleWish'', and also references events in ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''.

** At the end of ''Film/SouthlandTales'', Chick pretty obviously gets herself laid when TheCriticalMarine enters cosplaying as a [[Franchise/StarWars Imperial Stormtrooper]], and they play out the "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" scene.

* ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings: Says it exactly after talking about how animal rights laws got put in place after a horse broke its back during filming.

* TropesAreNotBad: Although there's a lot of movies she reviews are way too light, gloss over history or are pretty dumb fairy tales, she understands that fantasy and wanting everything to be sweet and Disney-like aren't bad things.
* TroubledProduction:

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible:

* TheTrueMeaningOfChristmas: Parodied. After giving her lottery ticket to Todd, she realizes that the meaning of Christmas is mass consumerism.

* TypeCasting: She asks why Creator/SarahJessicaParker always get the role of the boy-crazy, attractive airhead.

* UncertainAudience: Notes that ''Film/SpiceWorld'' switches between jokes for kids and jokes geared toward adults at random.

* WrittenInInfirmity: Nella got sick from the horror that was ''Transformers III'', so they wrote the ''Little Mermaid'' review with her as TheVoiceless. She'd sold it for a Series/DoctorWho scarf.

* YouLookFamiliar: Nella's MadScientist character appears in the same room as Nella herself, while Elisa plays The Makeover Fairy and [[HotScientist Dr. Tease]].

* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: A ninja is sent from Disney to silence her when she theorizes that ''Disney/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' was just made to expand the Franchise/DisneyPrincess merchandising line.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY:[[invoked]] She calls ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'' a ''Series/HannahMontana'' / {{Franchise/Barbie}} hybrid.

** Her ''At The [=NChick=] Labs'' video has an extended one to the people who keep trotting out the (long-removed) "Rape Rap" video as proof of what a terrible [[MeanCharacterNiceActor person]] ([[InsaneTrollLogic and feminist]]) she is. It very much feels like a very long "Shut The Fuck Up."

* StupidSexyFlanders: [[{{In-Universe}} Referenced by The Chick]] in regard to Creator/HughJackman:

** Because of the sheer ''shit'' of ''{{Film/Showgirls}}'', she [[{{in-universe}} concludes]] that it has to be an art film.

** In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'' review, she scoffs at Barry Manilow being the best the movie could do before hearing him sing (something good, not the songs in the film) and going off into a daze.

** Right after seeing the annoying bird in ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'': "...you're gonna be in the whole movie aren't you?"

** In, well, ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'': "I hate you enough to call you Thumbelina."

** She keeps stressing to ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'' that "impossible" isn't the same thing as mildly inconvenient.

** Subverted with ''Disney/TheFoxAndTheHound''. In her ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina}}'' review, she showed the poster when she said Disney was in the pits, making people think she didn't like the film. It turns out that she loves it for how dark and subtle it is.

* SexyShirtSwitch: In Lindsay, Elisa, [[Creator/AllisonPregler Lupa]], and WebVideo/{{Todd|In The Shadows}}'s vlog review of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', Todd comments on how it's too hot to wear his hoodie and that he doesn't need to be wearing it because people will still know who he is. One jump cut later Lindsay is wearing it. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Then Lupa...then Elisa...]]

** When she's made to do ''{{Bratz}}'': "This is gonna hurt me a lot more than it does you."

** Calling the boob song in ''MyLittlePony'' [[DamnedByFaintPraise the best one]] is like calling ''RevengeOfTheSith'' the best out out the ''StarWars'' prequels.

** Due to her utter loathing of ''X-Men III'', Brett Ratner comes under fire a few times.

* TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: Frequently brings up tropes and does ConversationalTroping on her show.

** MaraWilson co-reviewing one of her old movies, ''{{Film/Matilda}}''.
