* AGlassOfChianti: The review opens with the Critic sniffing a glass of wine full of such typical Stephen King movie elements as anti-religious commentary, [[CardCarryingVillain Card-Carrying Villains]], and {{Narm}}.
* HypocriticalHumor: The Critic rants over being not as comfortable as King with {{Running Gag}}s, which is then followed by screenshots of many of ''his own'' past jokes, such as [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS3E13 the literal]] ElephantInTheLivingRoom, the Creator/ChuckNorris [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS2E23 title card]], [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS1E10 M.
