History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS6E23

* RedEyesTakeWarning: When the orphanage kids smile in an uncanny way at Lily, the Critic wonders if that was actually meant to be satanic hypnosis. The clip is shown again, this time with the kids' eyes glowing red and with sinister music playing.
* ShellShockedVeteran: During a beat when the Mayor is giving Mrs. Mavilda the two money bags, the Critic wonders if he had a 'Nam flashback and plays footage of a helicopter crash over said pause.

** After Licorice the dog says where the North Pole is by barking, the Critic asks him a series of questions, one of which is, "Why do smart people keep watching ''Series/TheMiddle''?"

** At the scene where Mrs. Mavilda is hysterically yelling at Julie while firing her, a shocked Critic notes that no microphone would have an "insane bitch" setting (like the kind of hysteria Mrs. Mavilda is exhibiting)... with the possible exception of Ann Coulter's (a notorious conservative talk show host).

* TakeThat: At the scene where Mrs. Mavilda is hysterically yelling at Julie while firing her, a shocked Critic notes that no microphone would have an "insane bitch" setting (like the kind of hysteria Mrs. Mavilda is exhibiting)... with the possible exception of Ann Coulter's (a notorious conservative talk show host).

* DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: The Critic's InUniverse opinion of the film, claiming that not even calling it the animated equivalent of ''Film/TheRoom'' (a film the Critic genuinely thinks is SoBadItsGood) excuses its sloppy execution, as he deems it unbecoming of any self-respecting Christmas special.

* WorstWhateverEver: The Critic's opinion of the cartoon with regards to all Christmas specials.

* TakeThat: At the scene where Mrs. Mavilda is hysterically yelling at Julie while firing her, a shocked Critic notes that no microphone would have an "insane bitch" setting (like the kind of hysteria Mrs. Mavilda is exhibiting)... with the possible exception of Creator/AnnCoulter's.

* TakeThat: At the scene where Mrs. Mavilda is hysterically yelling at Julie while firing her, a shocked Critic notes that no microphone would have an "insane bitch" setting (like the kind of hysteria Mrs. Mavilda is exhibiting)... with the possible exception of Radio/AnnCoulter's.

* LimitedAnimation: So much so that the Critic jumps and yells, "D'ah! Movement!" the first time someone actually moves.

* ShellShockedVeteran: During a beat when the Mayor is giving Mrs. Mavilda the two money bags, Critic wonders if he had a Vietnam flashback and plays footage of a helicopter crash over the Mayor's unexpected beat.
* ShoutOut: The Critic's introduction of this film is almost verbatim to Criswell's introduction of ''Film/PlanNineFromOuterSpace''.
** "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz I'll get you, you frozen,]] [[UncannyValley awkwardly blinking pretties]]! [[AndYourLittleDogToo And your]] [[LimitedAnimation repeated two frames of animation, too!]] [[EvilLaugh AHAHAHAHA]]!"

* [[invoked]] TheyJustDidntCare: The Critic's biggest complaint about the special is how little the creators cared when Christmas is supposed to be about putting effort into making other people happy.
* ThiefBag: The orphanage owner gets paid by the mayor in bags of money for some reason. He even refers to the money in terms of bags, and never gives an actual amount. The Critic parodies this by showing the Mayor entering a grocery store and angrily telling a cashier (played by Rachel Tietz) to accept his check for two money bags. The Mayor is then seen driving off in his {{Monopoly}} game piece.

* TheUnintelligible: Lily is so unintelligible that at one point a clip from ''Film/RushHour'' of [[ChrisTucker James Carter]] asking a guy, "What the hell did you just say?" is spliced in to show how someone would react to her.
* TrueMeaningOfChristmas: "Christmas is ''effort!''"

* [[invoked]]UncannyValley: The whole film.
