History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS9E7

* FollowTheLeader: {{Invoked|Trope}}. The Critic is annoyed at the CyberPunk CityNoir setting of the film, noting how most sci-fi films featuring cities are basically ripping off ''Film/BladeRunner'', putting up other examples such as ''Film/SuperMarioBros'', ''Film/JudgeDredd'', ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence'', ''Film/TotalRecall1990'', ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', ''Film/CloudAtlas'' and ''Film/DemolitionMan''.

-->'''Critic:''' "If a clone of you wants to turn your bar into a casino, don't let him."

-->'''Malcolm:''' "Thanks a lot, dickholes."\\
'''Tamara:''' "You can take your love of Creator/EddieMurphy and shove it up your ass!"

** Channel Awesome reviewer Nash Bozard of "What the Fuck is Wrong with You?" (whose first name is also Pluto's surname) is briefly shown claiming that even the Critic's "half-assed" review is trying harder than the film itself.

** The Critic compares the deceptive premise of ''Pluto Nash'' to ''Disney/MarsNeedsMoms''.

** After the AlternateCharacterInterpretation quip above, the Critic claims Pluto can rename himself into something as sensible as "[[Film/JupiterAscending Jupiter]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E12 Jones]]".

* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Upon seeing that the lunar currency is now named after UsefulNotes/HillaryRodhamClinton (who, by the time the review was released, is campaigning for Democratic presidential candidacy opposite Bernard Sanders), the Critic cannot decide whether that joke was clever or dated, so he challenges the audience to a multiple-choice joke, in which, after November 8 (election day), they choose either options A (Hilary felt the "Bern"), B (Hilary won by buying off Hollywood), or C (Donald Trump became the Adolf Hitler of America). He also has the same confusion upon seeing Pluto, Dina and Bruno drive past a "Trump Realty" billboard.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: [[InUniverse The Critic praises]] Creator/RosarioDawson (Dina) as the only star who actually tried to act in such a bomb as ''Pluto Nash''.

** UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is compared to UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler (with Doug making the speech and donning the appropriate costume, with the swastika replaced by a "T").

* TheyJustDidntCare: InUniverse, the Critic jokes that most people cared so little for the film, it didn't even receive a Blu-ray remaster.

** Though The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy shot is [[spoiler: a planet building factory]], which just adds another error to Doug's roster of movie errors.

* HollywoodHomely: In-universe, The Critic finds the jokes mocking Dawson's character, specifically her body, to be confusing considering that the actress herself is already quite attractive.

** Cuts of various characters calling out Pluto Nash's name is immediately followed by a cut of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse calling for Pluto (his pet dog).

** The scene where Bruno is recharged with a clamp on a terminal looks pretty phallic, but the Critic decides that making an original dick joke is too much for so half-assed a film as ''Pluto Nash'', so he instead reuses his Music/DavidBowie dick jokes from the ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' [[TheNostalgiaCriticS9E3 review]] and comes up with "Dick Magic Dick".

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: The Critic takes offense at the main character's name "Pluto Nash", deeming it unintentionally hilarious in a setting that takes itself too seriously. At one point he compares it to "Jupiter Jones".

* ActorAllusion: {{Invoked|Trope}} with lines being dubbed into Anthony (Jay Mohr) during the scene where Pluto rescues him from being poisoned by thugs, claiming he wants his career killed after having starred in ''Mafia!'' (another bad movie he starred in).
