* GrowingTheBeard: Somewhere around 2019 the Producer's and Screenwriter's characters and [[LargeHam over-the-top]] mannerisms became more pronounced, making the shorts a lot funnier.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: During the ''Breaking Dawn'' Pitch Meeting, the Screenwriter pitches the infamous imprinting subplot, and the Producer's demeanor ''immediately'' becomes [[HeroicBSOD sullen and uncomfortable]]. While it's rather brief, Ryan George's acting is flawless in how quickly it snaps to and from being absolutely depressed about the movie's plot and being ecstatic at the thought of all the money they'll make.

funnier. Ryan George has also commented that this was the same time period where he made a concerted effort to cut down on airtime and tighten up the dialogue, making the skits feel much more dynamic and punchy.

** The ''Batman Begins'' Pitch Meeting sees the Screenwriter suddenly enter a fugue state while talking about his.. [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood interesting]] upbringing; Ryan George snaps into - and back out of - an award-winning KubrickStare with ease.

** Discussed during the Film/Barbie2023 portion of the ''Barbenheimer'' pitch meeting, [[ItMakesSenseInContext one of the two Screenwriters]] starts to repeat the film's heavy handed anti-patriarchy message much to the increasing annoyance of the Producer. At one point he goes as far as to [[LiteralMetaphor literally]] hit the Producer over the head with the message of the film.

* FridgeBrilliance: Given the usual stereotypes about Hollywood producers, it might seem a little odd that the Producer is so willing to roll over for almost anything the Screenwriter insists on.

They offer criticism and poke fun at errors but saying they are intended to negatively criticize feels wrong. If Ryan thinks something is bad, he's usually pretty blatant about it


* MisaimedFandom: The pitch meeting are usually intended to negatively criticize films and series. However, for many viewers, the pitch meeting for ''Film/RRR2022'' had the opposite effect, in that it made them want to see the movie even if they had never heard of it.

Is this an accurate reflection of the films, or does it discount the films' far superior quality compared to most other MerchandiseDriven media?



** The Producer suggesting that ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Part 2'' be split further more accurately describes the final season of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan,'' which was split into three parts, with the third part later being split into two parts as well due to the amount of work it took for Creator/{{MAPPA}} to adapt the material.

* AcceptableTargets:
** Ryan George doesn't like the live-action Disney remakes very much, since the pitch meetings often portray them as cash grabs that don't improve upon the originals.
** A rather specific pet peeve for Ryan George is complex magical rituals or curses with specific rules that the characters inexplicably know about.
** {{Flat Character}}s are frequently subject to mockery, especially when their personalities (or lack thereof) are summed up by a line of dialogue describing their occupation.
** The series often makes fun of action scenes in which it's [[WhoForgotTheLights next to impossible to see what's going on due to darkness or some other factor]]. For example, the Battle of Winterfell in Season 8 of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' is said to be "like watching ''Film/WorldWarZ'' with five pairs of sunglasses on."
** If a movie adaptation of a book series splits the final book into two movies (''Literature/TheHungerGames'', ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'', ''Literature/HarryPotter''), then it's practically guaranteed that Ryan will make fun of it as a way to milk the franchise. In the pitch meeting for ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', the Producer not only proposes splitting the book into two movies but splitting the latter half of the book into another two movies, and the latter fourth into ''another'' two movies, [[EveryoneHasStandards much to the Screenwriter's disapproval]].

** The Producer often cheerfully points out the various problems with the ideas, but lets them go without any further comment.

Or does he not actually have much power to change the Screenwriter's script, and merely has to settle for making {{Stealth Insult}}s about the work being pitched?
