* MeanCharacterNiceActor: The real Brad Jones is very gracious towards his fans and generally seems like a nice person, and frequently does reviews as himself, instead of being in-character as The Cinema Snob. Much of the time, it's easy to mistake the Snob's opinions as Brad's own, even though the Snob himself is an exaggerated CausticCritic, and Brad frequently finds himself writing hateful reviews for movies he actually likes.
** Brad specifically mentions that "Snobbing" his favourite movie of all time, ''Caligula'', was particularly heartbreaking.
** The reverse is also true - Brad remarks that writing a praising review of ''Film/SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom'' was one of the most difficult things he's ever done.

----
* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: ''Brazilian Star Wars'' made him say "I never thought I'd say this, but this movie is no ''Turkish Star Wars''"
* IHatePastMe: Upon seeing ''Video Violence 2'', Brad receives an angry phone call from 2007!Brad (pre-[[GrowingTheBeard beard]]), fresh from his original ''Video Violence'' review. Brad offers some much-needed advice to his past self - made funnier if you've seen all of Brad's reviews, and are familiar with his tumultuous life - all of which goes unheeded. "What an asshole!"
** The effect is so seamless, people are ''still'' unsure of whether Brad literally [[CrazyPrepared recorded himself in 2007]] in preparation for the sequel.
** Also, in ''Italian Batman'' he sees his other review of an Italian film without dubbing/subtitles (''Porno Holocaust''), and engages on some SelfDeprecation.
** The Hot Pocket gag in ''Crazy Fat Ethel 2'' doesn't hold up five years later. "Ha ha ha, it's funny because it's fattening. Joke's on you, asshole: You gained like 50 pounds that year."
* IHaveManyNames: Brad had reason to suspect ''Zombi 7'' was added to IMDB as an alternate title specifically in the hope he'd review it.
** It doesn't help that he then [[TemptingFate sarcastingly claimed that months from then he would be reviewing]] ''Night Of The Seagulls'' because someone would attach the title ''Zombi 8'' to it on IMDB. [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073461/releaseinfo#akas Which apparently someone did.]]
* IfIWantedXIWouldY: His CatchPhrase, thank you very much.
* ImplausibleDeniability: Lampshaded and then subverted when Snob says he used IMDB as an extensive source for minor Hong Kong action films.
-->"Of course, I'm too much of a snob to admit that I fucked up... I fucked up."
* ImportantHaircut: The finale to ''Tampon Tango'', the last review to be filmed in Brad's old house. Luggage? Check. Videotapes? Check. [[TheTriple Beard? Check]].
* InadvertentEntranceCue: 80's Dan originally showed up any time someone mentioned Crystal Pepsi.

* InappropriateHunger: Brad has a stomach of steel.
** He munches on a granola bar as the feces flows in ''Gross Out'', and ''Crazy Fat Ethel'' gives him a hankering for Hot Pockets.
** ''Texas Chainsaw'' left him with a craving for a [=McRib=]. "What? It's probably made of the same thing ''they'' were eating."
* InfantImmortality: Very, very, ''very'' subverted at the end of Beware! Children At Play.
* InferredHolocaust: ''Los Porno Sin Son'' - "Out of curiosity, is anybody watching Maggie during all this? Why do I get the feeling she died hours ago?" [[invoked]]
* InherentlyFunnyWords: "Yeti, n. 1. A mythical large furry humanoid said to inhabit the Himalayas. 2. One of the funniest damn words ever (See also "buggery")."
* InnocentInnuendo: The [[UnsettlingGenderReveal surprise twist]] in the original ''[[spoiler:Sleepaway Camp]]'', which even the Snob could appreciate. "Surprise penis shocks even the tightest of asses!" ''(points at self)''
* InsultBackfire: Brad loved ''Tron: Legacy'', so when [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] in his "Top 11 worst movies of 2010" list said that anyone who liked ''Tron: Legacy'' was "easily amused and has no standards", Brad had to respond in his top eleven favorite list.

--> '''Snob:''' *Puts paper down* Pfht, whatever, I hated this fuckin' movie! *Puts paper back up* No fucking sense...
* InsultToRocks: Brad says that comparing ''Violent Shit'' to an Uwe Boll movie is an insult to Uwe Boll.
** His DVD-R Hell review of ''[[CluelessAesop Rock: It's Your Decision]]''.
-->"Aww!! The Captain & Tennille is a sin now, too?! Calling The Captain & Tennille a "sin" is a '''sin''' against the word '''sin'''!"
** Even calling the devil's henchmen "a bunch of Nazis is a low blow".
** He says of The Tramps from Brazilian ''Star Wars'': "To say that these dipshits overdo it on the silly factor would just take the dignity out of the word 'silly'".
* IronicEcho: Brad makes fun of a character's line delivery in ''The Mutilator'' when he exclaims, "I got a baaaaaaad feeling about this!" ("I don't understand what [[StarWarsANewHope approaching the Death Star]] has to do with anything.") Once the slasher breaks out his fishhook for the [[GroinAttack signature kill]], Brad uneasily repeats the quote. Yeecch.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Brad Jones is an avid exploitation film buff playing a snob devoted to TrueArt.
* [[{{ItIsPronouncedTro-PAY}} It is Prounounced Bruno Ma-TAY]]: not Bruno Ma-TIE.
* ItWillNeverCatchOn: In his review of ''Blood Sucking Freaks'', when the kidnapped art critic insists that a ballet dancer would never dance for the sadistic Sardu, Brad adds...
-->'''Snob:''' Yes, I agree. Would be like finding Academy Award-nominated actress Joan Allen [[DeathRace in a film about car racing]], or Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates [[TheWaterboy in an Adam Sandler film.]] [[SarcasmMode Preach on, Creasy!]]
* IWishedYouWereDead: At the end of ''Beware: Children at play'' when the parents surround the kidnapped and brainwashed children the Snob shouts the kids are clearly evil and should be killed. When the parents proceed to do just that for the last 5 minutes of the movie, [[DelayedReaction the Snob goes to his computer, places an order on e-Bay, waits for it to arive, unpacks his new plastic bucket and pukes in it]].
-->"I WAS FUCKING KIDDING!"
* JawDrop: The Snob does this when he realizes the pun behind ''Chatterbox''.
** This also happens during his look at ''Too Smart for Strangers'' when Winnie the Pooh starts talking about [[spoiler: child molestation]].
** And during the TwistEnding of ''Film/SleepawayCamp''.
* {{Jerkass}}: The Snob. He fires guns wildly into the air, beats up TV personalities for discussing movies he hates, and abuses Film Brain for being young.
* KindheartedCatLover: Brad himself.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Jillian gets fed up at Brad narrating what's happening onscreen. She also can't figure out how Brad is dubbing ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' music into the film just by watching it. (''Rape Squad'')
-->'''Brad:''' As long as you just ''think'' about the reference, it'll magically happen in the movie.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: ''The Astro-Zombies''.
* LongTitle: "''[[{{Filth}} THE E.T. OF VAGINA]]: ONE SETTLES OF THE OTHER WORLD Or [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad Specially Terrestrian]]: The extraterrestrial one''".
-->'''Snob:''' That's even too fucking long for a '''Tagline'''!
* MadLibsCatchphrase: "If I want to see a [thing, mostly genre X movie], I'll stick with ''real'' [things/genre X movies] -- like [better-known but still obscure example], thank you very much."]

** Some episodes of Brad Tries open with "Hello, and welcome to [[SelfDeprecation comment making fun of either his production schedule or his lack of originality]]."
* MadnessMantra: "I am the wafflemaker!"
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover:
** Besides participating in {{Kickassia}}, the 100th episode review of ''Caligula'' was filled with cameos.
*** Also counts as a BatFamilyCrossover as his review has guest segments from all of his shows at the time, including Brad Tries, Softly From Cable and the Big Box, all of the members of Team Snob and an EarlyBirdCameo from 80's Dan.
** There's also the review of Troll 4 he did with Phelous that is half cameos, half Snob and Phelous making things up.
** He was also a kickass IndianaJones during ''SuburbanKnights'', even wearing the outfit on the train into Chicago for the filming.
** "A Very Inappropriate 80s Dan Christmas" is a crossover between [[TalkingToHimself 80s Dan, The Cinema Snob, and Kung Tai Ted]], with [[MythologyGag nods to]] ''The Big Box'' and ''HookerWithAHeartOfGold''.
* MathematiciansAnswer: From his Halloween review "Does this mean I'm gonna review this movie with the respect that it deserves, or am I going to be my usual snarky self just to make me sound smarter than you? Yes."
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: The real Brad Jones is very gracious towards his fans and generally seems like a nice person, and frequently does reviews as himself, instead of being in-character as The Cinema Snob. Much of the time, it's easy to mistake the Snob's opinions as Brad's own, even though the Snob himself is an exaggerated CausticCritic, and Brad frequently finds himself writing hateful reviews for movies he actually likes.

* OffscreenTeleportation: In the review of ''Rape Squad'', Lloyd the cat disappears from Jillian's lap between cuts, and Brad seems to be the only one of the two who notices.
* OldShame: Apparently, he doesn't really like his third review "Wanda, The Sadistic Hypnotist" because he didn't like how he was doing it [[spoiler:in the upstairs living room]] and how he had a CriticalResearchFailure at the end. [[invoked]]
** He's not a big fan of most of his older episodes in general, as he felt he was trying to be [[CausticCritic too angry]]. His ''Video Violence 2'' review, done three years after he reviewed the first ''Video Violence'', has him mocking his old style throughout the review.
--->'''Young Snob:''' ''(throws video to the ground [[OffscreenCrash with a smash]])''\\
'''Current Snob:''' Interesting, I forgot the DVD I had was the Limited [[StockSoundEffects Glass Case Edition]].
** Lloyd starred in a few 70s exploitation movies, including one in French.
--->"REALLY, Lloyd? Were you THAT hard up for cash?"
** Brad hates some of the older films he did within the Stoned Gremlin Films brand. ''Cancelled Sitcoms'' and ''Straight to Video'' are two he really hates in particular. ''Cancelled Sitcoms'' was done for a college class he took and was done in an artsy style, while ''Straight To Video'' was a much more comedic film. Thankfully for Brad both are probably LostForever (His only copy of ''Cancelled'' was part of his old DVD collection that got stolen) though he said ''Hooker With A Heart Of Gold'' was based on elements of the latter film.
* OneSteveLimit: Brad has two friends named Brian in "Team Snob", so one of them is referred to by his last name, Irving.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Judge Reinhold in The Forgotten [[NicolasCage Nic Cage]] flick ''Zandalee''.
* OverlyLongGag: Parodied the WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy style of this during ''Grizzly II''. He goes out to his porch, tries to pick up a box that keeps slipping out of his hands, and then just grabs it and throws it off porch yelling at the camera '''This isn't funny!'''
** Played straight during ''Cannibal Ferox'' in a sequence where the Snob devours an entire tin of Bubble Tape.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: ''Elves'', "the world's only Christmas-Elf-Incest-Nazi-Occult film."
** ''Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies'' is the best Zombie-Confederates movie.

** Commented on in his review of ''E.T.: The Porno'', where he suggests ''Dr. Buttlove, or: How I Learned To Stop Clenching and Love the Plug''.
** "Some of the more ''hilarious'' of these silicone-injected titles include ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon]]'', ''[[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheek's and Thong's]] [[Film/UpInSmoke Up In Stroke]]'', ''[[Film/TheTerminator The Penetrator]]'', ''[[Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids Honey I Blew Everybody]]'', and ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Yentl]]''."

* PizzaBoySpecialDelivery: Parodied in the ''Softly From Cable'' episode covering ''Animal Instinct''. The female protagonist gets a visit from a cable guy who makes some AccidentalInnuendo, to which Jillian's character responds, "I know where this is going... he's going to order her a pizza."
* [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch Praising Films You Haven't Seen]]: An InUniverse example, the Snob begins his review of ''The Adventures of Dickman and Throbbin''' by praising [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises the third Nolan Batman film]] as one of the most perfect films of all time, right before admitting he hasn't seen it yet. ([[HilariousInHindsight ironically, by the time it got uploaded Brad had seen TDKR ''and not liked it'']])

* ICantBelieveImSayingThis: ''Brazilian Star Wars'' made him say "I never thought I'd say this, but this movie is no ''Turkish Star Wars''"
* IHatePastMe: Upon seeing ''Video Violence 2'', Brad receives an angry phone call from 2007!Brad (pre-[[GrowingTheBeard beard]]), fresh from his original ''Video Violence'' review. Brad offers some much-needed advice to his past self - made funnier if you've seen all of Brad's reviews, and are familiar with his tumultuous life - all of which goes unheeded. "What an asshole!"
** The effect is so seamless, people are ''still'' unsure of whether Brad literally [[CrazyPrepared recorded himself in 2007]] in preparation for the sequel.
** Also, in ''Italian Batman'' he sees his other review of an Italian film without dubbing/subtitles (''Porno Holocaust''), and engages on some SelfDeprecation.
** The Hot Pocket gag in ''Crazy Fat Ethel 2'' doesn't hold up five years later. "Ha ha ha, it's funny because it's fattening. Joke's on you, asshole: You gained like 50 pounds that year."
* IHaveManyNames: Brad had reason to suspect ''Zombi 7'' was added to IMDB as an alternate title specifically in the hope he'd review it.
** It doesn't help that he then [[TemptingFate sarcastingly claimed that months from then he would be reviewing]] ''Night Of The Seagulls'' because someone would attach the title ''Zombi 8'' to it on IMDB. [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073461/releaseinfo#akas Which apparently someone did.]]
* IfIWantedXIWouldY: His CatchPhrase, thank you very much.
* ImplausibleDeniability: Lampshaded and then subverted when Snob says he used IMDB as an extensive source for minor Hong Kong action films.
-->"Of course, I'm too much of a snob to admit that I fucked up... I fucked up."
* ImportantHaircut: The finale to ''Tampon Tango'', the last review to be filmed in Brad's old house. Luggage? Check. Videotapes? Check. [[TheTriple Beard? Check]].

* InnocentInnuendo: The [[UnsettlingGenderReveal surprise twist]] in the original ''[[spoiler:Sleepaway Camp]]'', which even the Snob could appreciate. "Surprise penis shocks even the tightest of asses!" ''(points at self)''
* InsultBackfire: Brad loved ''Tron: Legacy'', so when [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] in his "Top 11 worst movies of 2010" list said that anyone who liked ''Tron: Legacy'' was "easily amused and has no standards", Brad had to respond in his top eleven favorite list.
--> '''Brad:''' I know, I know, I'm easily amused and have no standards. It's true. *Smiles coyly*
--> '''Snob:''' *Puts paper down* Pfht, whatever, I hated this fuckin' movie! *Puts paper back up* No fucking sense...
* InsultToRocks: Brad says that comparing ''Violent Shit'' to an Uwe Boll movie is an insult to Uwe Boll.
** His DVD-R Hell review of ''[[CluelessAesop Rock: It's Your Decision]]''.
-->"Aww!! The Captain & Tennille is a sin now, too?! Calling The Captain & Tennille a "sin" is a '''sin''' against the word '''sin'''!"
** Even calling the devil's henchmen "a bunch of Nazis is a low blow".
** He says of The Tramps from Brazilian ''Star Wars'': "To say that these dipshits overdo it on the silly factor would just take the dignity out of the word 'silly'".
* IronicEcho: Brad makes fun of a character's line delivery in ''The Mutilator'' when he exclaims, "I got a baaaaaaad feeling about this!" ("I don't understand what [[StarWarsANewHope approaching the Death Star]] has to do with anything.") Once the slasher breaks out his fishhook for the [[GroinAttack signature kill]], Brad uneasily repeats the quote. Yeecch.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Brad Jones is an avid exploitation film buff playing a snob devoted to TrueArt.
* [[{{ItIsPronouncedTro-PAY}} It is Prounounced Bruno Ma-TAY]]: not Bruno Ma-TIE.
* ItWillNeverCatchOn: In his review of ''Blood Sucking Freaks'', when the kidnapped art critic insists that a ballet dancer would never dance for the sadistic Sardu, Brad adds...
-->'''Snob:''' Yes, I agree. Would be like finding Academy Award-nominated actress Joan Allen [[DeathRace in a film about car racing]], or Academy Award-winning actress Kathy Bates [[TheWaterboy in an Adam Sandler film.]] [[SarcasmMode Preach on, Creasy!]]
* IWishedYouWereDead: At the end of ''Beware: Children at play'' when the parents surround the kidnapped and brainwashed children the Snob shouts the kids are clearly evil and should be killed. When the parents proceed to do just that for the last 5 minutes of the movie, [[DelayedReaction the Snob goes to his computer, places an order on e-Bay, waits for it to arive, unpacks his new plastic bucket and pukes in it]].
-->"I WAS FUCKING KIDDING!"
* JawDrop: The Snob does this when he realizes the pun behind ''Chatterbox''.
** This also happens during his look at ''Too Smart for Strangers'' when Winnie the Pooh starts talking about [[spoiler: child molestation]].
** And during the TwistEnding of ''Film/SleepawayCamp''.
* {{Jerkass}}: The Snob. He fires guns wildly into the air, beats up TV personalities for discussing movies he hates, and abuses Film Brain for being young.
* KindheartedCatLover: Brad himself.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Jillian gets fed up at Brad narrating what's happening onscreen. She also can't figure out how Brad is dubbing ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' music into the film just by watching it. (''Rape Squad'')
-->'''Brad:''' As long as you just ''think'' about the reference, it'll magically happen in the movie.

** Hahaha...Because he killed X people!
** Worst X ''ever!''
** Some episodes of Brad Tries open with "Hello, and welcome to [[SelfDeprecation comment making fun of either his production schedule or his lack of originality]]."
* MadnessMantra: "I am the wafflemaker!"
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover:
** Besides participating in {{Kickassia}}, the 100th episode review of ''Caligula'' was filled with cameos.
*** Also counts as a BatFamilyCrossover as his review has guest segments from all of his shows at the time, including Brad Tries, Softly From Cable and the Big Box, all of the members of Team Snob and an EarlyBirdCameo from 80's Dan.
** There's also the review of Troll 4 he did with Phelous that is half cameos, half Snob and Phelous making things up.
** He was also a kickass IndianaJones during ''SuburbanKnights'', even wearing the outfit on the train into Chicago for the filming.
** "A Very Inappropriate 80s Dan Christmas" is a crossover between [[TalkingToHimself 80s Dan, The Cinema Snob, and Kung Tai Ted]], with [[MythologyGag nods to]] ''The Big Box'' and ''HookerWithAHeartOfGold''.
* MathematiciansAnswer: From his Halloween review "Does this mean I'm gonna review this movie with the respect that it deserves, or am I going to be my usual snarky self just to make me sound smarter than you? Yes."
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: The real Brad Jones is very gracious towards his fans and generally seems like a nice person, and frequently does reviews as himself, instead of being in-character as The Cinema Snob. Much of the time, it's easy to mistake the Snob's opinions as Brad's own, even though the Snob himself is an exaggerated CausticCritic, and Brad frequently finds himself writing hateful reviews for movies he actually likes.
** Brad specifically mentions that "Snobbing" his favourite movie of all time, ''Caligula'', was particularly heartbreaking.
** The reverse is also true - Brad remarks that writing a praising review of ''Film/SaloOrThe120DaysOfSodom'' was one of the most difficult things he's ever done.
*** Though Brad doesn't think that the movie is bad, as heard in the [[http://blip.tv/the-cinema-snob/the-random-button-salo-or-the-120-days-of-sodom-6723564 Random Button podcast]].
** His nice guy attitude even shined through when he "had to be the bad guy" by saying that he was really displeased with ''ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''.
** Need more proof? His cameo alongside aforementioned DistaffCounterpart - ObscurusLupa - wherein during one of the takes (see the outtakes at the end of the review)...he accidentally punches her ...in the ''face''. He immediately starts apologizing and hugging her.
*** And then gives her the greatest two-second cameo ever, when Kung-Tai Ted randomly shows up and punches the Snob in the face. [[spoiler: Cut to Lupa, with a laugh.]]

** On the mannequin in ''Maniac'': "The supporting cast in this movie is very wooden."
** On ''The Corpse Grinders'''s characters being ground into cat food: "I guess it only takes ''one'' life to make a perfect can of 9 Lives!"
** With ''The Cinema Snob'' movie in post-production, Brad informs the viewer that he'll be reviewing "something that only requires half my attention." Cue the all-midget western!
--->"''Really?!'' I didn't know [[InnocentBigot THAT was going to be the movie!]]"
** The beehive death in ''Film/SleepawayCamp''. Say it with him now: [[spoiler:[[TheWickerMan NO NOT THE BEES! AAAAGGUGUGAH!]]]]
--->"I almost feel lazy for adding it."
** ''Sleepaway Camp IV'': Brought to you by [[ProductPlacement Frito-Lay]].
--->'''Snob''': Betcha Can't Splice Away to Just ''One'' Sleepaway Camp Movie™!
** ''La bête'':
### "Truly, [[KingKong t'was beauty]] that fucked the beast."
### The flower masturbation scene: "You could say this is the ''thorniest'' scene I've across in a while.''"
### In the same film, there's literally a shot of [[LeaveTheCameraRunning a snail]]. Sometimes the joke writes itself.
** ''Los Pornos Sin Son'' has a host of ''Simpsons'' references; too many to list.
--->"I'm going to have to [[INeedAFreakingDrink wash away this image]] with a couple of Flaming Moes."
** Ditto for ''Crackerjack'', aka [[DieHardOnAnX Die Hard in a Ski Resort]].
--->"Uhh, [[AlanRickman something something, Alexander, something, no more worlds to conquer.]]"
** The Loner Ranger's arch enemy is none other than... [[BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]].
** ''Hack-O-Lantern'':
###^ "Funny, I just thought that was the name of the director."
###"JAG Films"?? Well, I guess [[{{Series/JAG}} old people will like it]]."

** ''Moment By Moment:''
--->"Tomlin's washing her feet. She must have a [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] audition later that day, too!"

--->"Wish it were 'Snow Day Films'. Then I could ''skip'' it."
** ''Water power'': "[[{{Film/Batman}} THIS town needs an enema!]]"
** Ilsa bursting in on an escapee followed by the Snob reluctantly going, "[[HogansHeroes Hoooogaaaan!]]"
--->"Now that I think about it, of all the ''Hogan's Heroes'' episodes, you'd think that this would be the one would be the one Bob Crane ''definitely'' would've been in!"
* OffscreenTeleportation: In the review of ''Rape Squad'', Lloyd the cat disappears from Jillian's lap between cuts, and Brad seems to be the only one of the two who notices.
* OldShame: Apparently, he doesn't really like his third review "Wanda, The Sadistic Hypnotist" because he didn't like how he was doing it [[spoiler:in the upstairs living room]] and how he had a CriticalResearchFailure at the end. [[invoked]]
** He's not a big fan of most of his older episodes in general, as he felt he was trying to be [[CausticCritic too angry]]. His ''Video Violence 2'' review, done three years after he reviewed the first ''Video Violence'', has him mocking his old style throughout the review.
--->'''Young Snob:''' ''(throws video to the ground [[OffscreenCrash with a smash]])''\\
'''Current Snob:''' Interesting, I forgot the DVD I had was the Limited [[StockSoundEffects Glass Case Edition]].
** Lloyd starred in a few 70s exploitation movies, including one in French.
--->"REALLY, Lloyd? Were you THAT hard up for cash?"
** Brad hates some of the older films he did within the Stoned Gremlin Films brand. ''Cancelled Sitcoms'' and ''Straight to Video'' are two he really hates in particular. ''Cancelled Sitcoms'' was done for a college class he took and was done in an artsy style, while ''Straight To Video'' was a much more comedic film. Thankfully for Brad both are probably LostForever (His only copy of ''Cancelled'' was part of his old DVD collection that got stolen) though he said ''Hooker With A Heart Of Gold'' was based on elements of the latter film.
* OneSteveLimit: Brad has two friends named Brian in "Team Snob", so one of them is referred to by his last name, Irving.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Judge Reinhold in The Forgotten [[NicolasCage Nic Cage]] flick ''Zandalee''.
* OverlyLongGag: Parodied the WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy style of this during ''Grizzly II''. He goes out to his porch, tries to pick up a box that keeps slipping out of his hands, and then just grabs it and throws it off porch yelling at the camera '''This isn't funny!'''
** Played straight during ''Cannibal Ferox'' in a sequence where the Snob devours an entire tin of Bubble Tape.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: ''Elves'', "the world's only Christmas-Elf-Incest-Nazi-Occult film."
** ''Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies'' is the best Zombie-Confederates movie.
* ParallelPornTitles:
** Commented on in his review of ''E.T.: The Porno'', where he suggests ''Dr. Buttlove, or: How I Learned To Stop Clenching and Love the Plug''.
** "Some of the more ''hilarious'' of these silicone-injected titles include ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom San Fernando Jones and the Temple of Poon]]'', ''[[Creator/CheechAndChong Cheek's and Thong's]] [[Film/UpInSmoke Up In Stroke]]'', ''[[Film/TheTerminator The Penetrator]]'', ''[[Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids Honey I Blew Everybody]]'', and ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Yentl]]''."
** [[AssShove The Enema Snob.]]
** When reviewing a Sasquatch porno called ''The Geek'', he despaired that "not only is "Sas''crotch''" a better title, but it's an ''amazing'' title!"'
* PeripheryHatedom: Intentionally invoked, as Brad describes the Snob as largely a parody of critics who review (and trash) movies that are clearly not meant for them. [[invoked]]
* PizzaBoySpecialDelivery: Parodied in the ''Softly From Cable'' episode covering ''Animal Instinct''. The female protagonist gets a visit from a cable guy who makes some AccidentalInnuendo, to which Jillian's character responds, "I know where this is going... he's going to order her a pizza."
* [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch Praising Films You Haven't Seen]]: An InUniverse example, the Snob begins his review of ''The Adventures of Dickman and Throbbin''' by praising [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises the third Nolan Batman film]] as one of the most perfect films of all time, right before admitting he hasn't seen it yet. ([[HilariousInHindsight ironically, by the time it got uploaded Brad had seen TDKR ''and not liked it'']])
* PreMortemOneLiner: '''"[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enyrn1qbVAE CHRISTMAS DAY!]]"'''
* ProductDisplacement: The iconic "Singin' in the Rain" scene in ''A Clockwork Orange'' is bowdlerized with "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in its porn spoof.
-->'''Snob:''' Oh yeah, Creator/GeneKelly's ''second''-most popular song! Let me guess, they're going to replace Beethoven with "On Top of Spaghetti"!
* ProductionThrowback: "Good God! You're drunk! And shockingly racist! '''And''' you're wearing {{blackface}}!" This line from ''Gross Out'' is parroting Spoony's character in ''The Cinema Snob Movie''.
