* FingerlessGloves: Often wore them in the beginning of his career.

* {{Retirony}}: He has made two separate jokes about this. First is in his ''Film/TheMatrix'' review, when Trinity throws a knife at a guard's head and it kills him, Suspect dubs over saying "Damn! Two day till retirement." The second one is in his Home Alone review, when the police officer fails to catch Kevin, Suspect says this is particularly embarrassing for the cop since he was only two days from retirement.

*** From his The Matrix review, when Morpheus is explaining the Matrix to Neo:
--> '''Morpheus:''' "This is the world as it exists today."

--> '''Neo:''' "Stop! Let me out! I want out!"

* AuthorAppeal: In his Critical Review of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' Lightning Returns he puts Lightning in an outfit that resembles that of [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright.]]

--> '''[[Creator/RebeccaBlack "It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!"]]'''

* MissingEpisode: He's generally good about keeping reviews on Website/YouTube to the point where he'll re-edit a review & reupload it if there's a copyright claim causing it not to be seen. Generally, though, you can always watch the reviews through his Agony Booth page if any of them get pulled. However, outside of the reviews, his Cinema Sings for Music/GreenDay's "Basket Case" got claimed & is no longer viewable. In addition, while it's not an actual case of this, if you don't know about his [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheNintendoCritic Nintendo Critic]] account, his statement at the beginning of his ''Deathly Hallows Part 2'' game review, & his subsequent showing of a clip from his review of the ''Part 1'' game review, can feel like this if you only look on his current channel.

* GrowingTheBeard: Depending on your perspective, it could be one of a few times. Is it his ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'' review, the first one of his movie reviews to be over 15 minutes, is it after the ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'' review, where he started focusing on other movies & his humor started improving in quality, as well as him starting to speak louder, is it in his ''Deathly Hallows Part 2'' review where he finally wrapped up the Harry Potter films, or is it after that review where he started focusing more on other films & his general style, comedy, speaking voice, editing, & the inclusion of other things started improving more? Or is it a mix of them, where he started improving in every facet in ''Deathly Hallows Part 1'', then gradually upped the quality as he learned new techniques with the software he uses/starts using, as well as his writing? Whenever it is, you definitely can't deny he's certainly evolved from the guy who spoke softly, couldn't yell, & relied overly on fart jokes he used to be.

* ShoutOut: To Creator/JeremyJahns, with his quoting Jeremy's "It's a good time...if you're drunk" rating, to Mr. Plinkett in his ''Phantom Menace'' review where he plays the beginning of his ''Phantom Menace'' review in his review, Nostalgia Critic, obviously, Il Neige, [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when he calls him just to tell him he was stealing his "EXTREME!!!" yell set to a guitar in one of his ''Lord of the Rings'' reviews where a character does something, well, [[CaptainObvious extreme]], to ''Family Guy'', ''The Simpsons'', Jerry Springer, etc.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To the Nostalgia Critic, as he uses the reviewing style & does a good mix of using reference clips from movies, or TV shows, & sketches/cutaway gags, while Doug seems to have shifted from one to the other completely after bringing back the critic, as well as not coming off as a complete asshole with the dark comedy, and has a good amount of analysis of the movies at the end, which Doug introduced in 2013 to the NC. In addition to that, Il Neige. Especially with Neige [[ScheduleSlip not having a review out for a while, and even then, it was a long time since the one before]], he seems to be filing the role quite well as a quirky non-Channel Awesome affiliated movie reviewer on YouTube from the late 90s to early/late 2000s generation. Though he doesn't have the limit of only reviewing movies from 2000 on, though even Neige has reviewed a [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie movie]] that wasn't from the 2000s before. Two, if you count ''Anime/Pokemon2000'', which was released first in Japan in 1999, almost a year before America. He also handles visual effects very well in his own way that makes him stand out.

* SpitTake: Unusual, as a Sony exec, does this when "another" says to sell the rights of Spider-Man back to Marvel.

*** In his ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' review, when the doctor of the gene therapy clinic says that they use the tissue of orphans, runaways, and people that won't be missed, Unusual gets out his mobile and call ''Creator/AdamSandler''.

** As of the ''Star Wars Episode I'' review, Bob the drug dealer interrupting Suspect's review to offer him fictional drugs like the Death Sticks from Star Wars Episode II and the gold stars from Super Mario Bros games has become one.

*** In his review for The Two Towers, he notes that the letter 'r' is the most sinister letter in the alphabet, pointing out all the evil things with the letter r in them, at the end of the list? Creator/ChrisBrown.

** Suspect inserting himself in the films he reviews, either via greenscreen or by appearing in a in-universe screen such as in the ''Die Another Day'' review.

* MoneyDearBoy: His only rationale why ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderman'' exists (though he adds that he actually enjoyed the film and its' main problem was just that it was too similar to the Sam Raimi one).

* ActingForTwo: Any time he needs another character.

* DeletedScene: There are quite a few he has deleted. Like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7UOqNOlN_g&list=UUkB2UdPzu_6n252STTY95Ew these,]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D_gztQ6CC0&list=UUkB2UdPzu_6n252STTY95Ew these,]] and lastly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZogG3K4kbU&list=UUkB2UdPzu_6n252STTY95Ew these.]]

* ScheduleSlip: It can take him months to release a new review, although he has admitted it's harder to write the reviews than it is to edit.

* BaitAndSwitch: In the review of the Fellowship of the Ring, he notes the similarities between the names of Aragorn and Arathorn. Then he sasy that if Gimli's father is called Gloin then it's pretty obvious what Gloin's father's name was: Gerald.

** Creator/TommyWiseau is subject to getting killed quite a bit.
** In his ''Film/SpiderMan3'' review, when looking through a dictionary to prove the accuracy of it, he finds the word Wanker... with a picture of David Cameron next to it.
** In his ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' review, when the doctor of the gene therapy clinic says that they use the tissue of orphans, runaways, and people that won't be missed, Unusual gets out his mobile and call ''Creator/AdamSandler''.

* MoneyDearBoy: His only rationale why ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderman'' exists.

* ProductPlacement: He points out all the product placement in ''Film/CasinoRoyale'' and in a deleted scene in the review of the Amazing Spider-Man he notes the same (and ironically it's all Sony's product placement.)
