History RunningGag / Phelous

* In his Next Mutation reviews "I hate Splinter!"

** GT Beauty [[DullSurprise making an unconvincing gasp]] whenever something shocking happens.

* Phelous dying at the end of his videos. He has since retired this joke, but it does make a comeback in ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''.

* Cutting to [[MuppetCameo Statler and Waldorf]] mocking the movie.
** Similarly, a shot from ''Film/TheGreatMuppetCaper'' with Sam the Eagle poking his head out of a doorway and saying "You are all ''weirdos!''".

* Any time he has a case of fridge logic, he rationalizes it as "Reasons for actions are stupid!" or says "Logic equals no."

* Hah Hah! Stupid surprised (whatever)! [[labelnote:explanation]]Started in the ''Anaconda'' reviews, which had a lot of [[ReactionShot reaction shots]] featuring a particularly bemused monkey.[[/labelnote]]

* Sometimes, if something really unpleasant happens plot-wise, he'll use a clip of Tina from ''Skinned Deep'' yelling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQAX8738Kcs WHYYYYYYYY?!]]", complete with a goofy polygon with the word "Why?" written on it. This one started with his review of ''The Deaths of Ian Stone''.
* Often when there is a RedShirt character that gets killed, Phelous would go, "And he/she dies."

* '''FUNNY X!''' [[EarRape [insert loud rock music here] ]] during the ''Film/FunnyGames'' review.

* [[Film/{{Birdemic}} "Thankkkssssssssss."]] [[labelnote:explanation]]One of the kids in the second half of the film says "thanks" in an aloof way at one point. Phelous is exaggerating it here ''just'' a bit. [[/labelnote]]

* The Creator/GoldenFilms, Good Times and [[Creator/DingoPictures Dingo]] movies have spawned a few.

** GT Beauty making an unconvincing gasp whenever something shocking happens.

** "SCENE INTERRUPTING BEAR!"

** Old Man giving a NeckSnap to Monsieur Rodent.

* Adding sitcom-style LaughTrack to particularly stupid moments and cartoony sound effects to scenes of violence.
* He's reviewed no less than ''eight'' "Pulse" movies. There are nineteen in total.

* Playing The Kool-Aid Man's "Oh Yeah!" whenever something bursts through a wall
* After ''Fear Dot Com'', referring to websites as [Name] dot com [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment dot com]]

* Hah Hah! Stupid surprised (whatever)!

* Sometimes, if something really unpleasant happens plot-wise, he'll use a clip of Tina from ''Film/SkinnedDeep'' yelling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQAX8738Kcs WHYYYYYYYY?!]]", complete with a goofy polygon with the word "Why?" written on it. This one started with his review of ''The Deaths of Ian Stone''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAZZCnwpPzo The Lock You Inside Doors]]

* Whenever a team of people [[InformedAbility presented as experts]] ends up doing something stupid, Phelous often chimes in with a cheery [[SarcasmMode "THEY'RE THE BEST!"]]

* [[Film/{{Birdemic}} "Thankkkssssssssss."]]
* THE NIGHTMARE HAS BECOME REALITY.

* "[[SarcasmMode Thank you for that]]", from ''Film/Crocodile2DeathSwamp''.

** The Beast's "loneliness meter". (note: When Beauty asks the Beast to let her go see her family, he tells her that he will die of loneliness if she doesn't return within one week.)

** "The diamonds, my God!" (Or just "my God!")
** "Damn hell"

* Making backhanded jokes about ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''.

* Playing classical music over scenes of extreme {{gorn}}. Bonus points if he has [[LaughingMad a psychotic breakdown]] while it happens too.

* You get the '''FUCK'''.......'''OUT''' of here!

* Canada being a small country that everything is just down the street in one road.

* '''SUBTLE!!!!'''

* Cutting to the end credits early.

* Peter Venkman from ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' dryly commenting (in Lorenzo Music's voice, of course), "It wasn't ''that'' funny," after [[HumorDissonance someone laughs hysterically at a flat or nonexistent joke or pratfall]].

* (hideously bad singing voice) HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEEE...[[note]]Originally, videos used the actual song ("Untitled" by Music/SimplePlan) but after Phelan moved all of his content to Creator/YouTube, he made his own StylisticSuck cover [[ScrewedByTheLawyers in order to avoid copyright strikes]].[[/note]]

** And then in ''Anaconda 4'', when a villain is shot [[NoKillLikeOverkill roughly a billion times]] by someone dual-wielding pistols. [[OverlyLongGag Hide and Seek starts each time he gets shot. The scene runs for quite a long time.]] Instant hilarity.

*** After Phelan grew tired of using this joke, Phelous [[BaitAndSwitch subverting]] this running gag by having Beauty's father either [[LastSecondWordSwap say something completely different]] or [[CatchphraseInterruptus be silenced before he can finish the line]] has become a running gag in and of itself.

** Old Man giving a NeckSnap to Monsieur Rodant.
