History TheCinemaSnob / TropesIToP

* OldShame:
** Lloyd starred in a few 70s exploitation movies, including one in French.

** This also happens during his look at ''Too Smart for Strangers'' when Winnie the Pooh starts talking about [[spoiler: child molestation]].

* [[{{ItIsPronouncedTro-PAY}} It is Prounounced Bruno Ma-TAY]]: not Bruno Ma-TIE.

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: ''The Astro-Zombies''.

** There's also the review of Troll 4 he did with Phelous that is half cameos, half Snob and Phelous making things up.

* MoneyDearBoy: InUniverse -- when Diamanda Hagan asks why ''they'' were reviewing ''Myra Breckinridge'' since the movie was doing a good job of reviewing itself, Snob responds "uh, Blip revenue?". Diamanda concedes the point.

** The beehive death in ''Film/SleepawayCamp''. Say it with him now: [[spoiler:[[TheWickerMan NO NOT THE BEES! AAAAGGUGUGAH!]]]]

* InspiredBy\\BasedOnATrueStory: In the ''The Cinema Snob Movie'', Craig Golightly bases his fake snob persona on someone he saw at a George Romero Q&A who asked a patently ridiculous question about the [[FauxSymbolism deep symbolism in]] ''Monkeyshines'', which Romero just laughed off. In the commentary, Brad says this really did happen and really was part of the inspiration for the Snob (along with Roger Ebert's complaints about horror films).

** Hahaha...because he killed X people!

* {{Nerdgasm}}: Or snobgasm in this case. Snob mentions how inappropriate it would be to watch an OrsonWelles movie and ''not'' have an orgasm.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Judge Reinhold in The Forgotten [[NicolasCage Nic Cage]] flick ''Zandalee''.

* 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.

* NoExceptYes: "Why are there so many sci-fi movies in the public domain? Because it's pretty fucking easy to have two characters in a dark room talking to each other about space-shit and calling it "sci-fi". Is ''Star Odyssey'' one of ''those'' types of science fiction films? ''Absolutely not.'' It has much more than two characters, who occupy boring sets and talk about space-shit so they can call it a sci-fi film."
** And in reference to poor research on Pierre Kirby films:
--->'''Snob:''' Of course I'm to much of a snob to admit ''I'' fucked up. [{{Beat}}] I fucked up.

** Snob complained about all the alien pornos were not including Princess Aura from ''Film/FlashGordon''.

** Once Brad compares the ''Chatterbox'' to ''TheVaginaMonologues'': "There goes the first joke I wrote for this review!"

--->"Uhh, [[AlanRickman something something, Alexander, something, no more worlds to conquer.]]"

** The headliner victim in ''Cannibal Ferox'', "Impaled [=McTitties=]."
** Jake the pedophile in ''Child Bride'' is called "Creepy [=McChildfucker=]".

* 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]].

** 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.
** According to a conversation he had with LordKat, he didn't even watch WebVideo/PopQuizHotshot (Channel Awesome's new game show that Brad hosts) and was annoyed to find out that they left flubs in due to lazy editing.
*** Additionally, on the Channel Awesome panel at Midwest Media Expo 2015, when asked what he thought of Pop Quiz Hotshot, he responded: "Well, everybody needs a BattlefieldEarth on their resume."

* 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."]

** Hahaha...Because he killed X people!

* OffTheShelfFX: The Snob's "Cameo generator" from his Drive review, which at the end he notices, "Wait a minute... This is a PS3 controller."

** He was also a kickass IndianaJones during ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', even wearing the outfit on the train into Chicago for the filming.

** The Lone Ranger's arch enemy is none other than... [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]].

--> '''The Cinema Snob:''' Obviously the original was better. Why? Because a remake can never be better. Even when the remake is better, the original is still better. Plus the original was written by script master Charlie Kaufman. Yes it was a different Charlie Kaufman but ''BeingJohnMalkovich'''s Charlie Kaufman is such a genius, that it instantly makes all other Charlie Kaufmans equally as genius. Therefore the original is clearly the superior film.

** The fact that ''IlsaSheWolfOfTheSS'' was shot on the same set as ''Series/HogansHeroes''.
** During the ''[[Film/{{Halloween1978}} Halloween]]'' review he reveals that Michael Myers' actor went on to direct the 90's ''Film/DennisTheMenace'' movie, then adds in, "no, really."

* {{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.

* MemeticBadass: [[invoked]] The snob is a Pierre Kirby fanboy, much like Spoony is one for Reb Brown and Lupa is a Cynthia Rothrock fangirl.
