8!!This show provides examples of:
9
10* AncientArtifact
11** His Kamen Rider Belt ([[spoiler:Fits the trope more as he finds it in a chest ''and'' it belonged to his brother.]])
12** His Quantum Gun and his Leon Laser.
13** His [[TransformationTrinket Morphers]]
14* AngerBornOfWorry: [[spoiler: Right after Rage Rider came BackFromTheDead,]] EZ punches him out and [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out for a few things]].
15* BigBad: Mr. Chairman, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Chairman]] of the Vanity Alliance.
16* BigDamnHeroes: A lot of people in Moonrise Part 4.
17** Rage Rider does this job the most, [[spoiler: defusing all the bombs while Shadow Moon was distracted by EZ's review of Series/MaskedRider and healing EZ who took a stab in the back]].
18** Mostly everyone on Reviewtopia, who fought most of the Wraiths in the city.
19** Creator/ApolloZHack, who gave EZ a [[Series/KamenRiderDecade DecaDriver]] and a Film/KamenRiderJ card during a fight with a giant Shadow Moon
20* CrossOver: With Creator/ApolloZHack.
21* DeusExMachina: Lampshaded by EZ in Moonrise Part 4 when he asks where the last minute Deus Ex Machina is. Cue a delivery man giving him that very thing he needs.
22* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Rage Rider]]. Granted, he ''did'' die, but he [[BackFromTheDead came back to life]].
23* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Gaia Memory usage works more like a drug and is treated as such in-universe, while being possessed by another Imagin is played up like it was cheating. These are PlayedForLaughs though, save for the Gaia Memory.
24* TheDragon: Shadow Moon [[spoiler: up until Moonrise Part 4. After his death, he's replaced by Wolzard]].
25* GRatedDrug: The Energy Memory. While all the Gaia Memories are {{G Rated Drug}}s in their original show, The Energy Memory takes this straighter than even how Series/KamenRiderFourze portrays the G-Rated Drugs, as it makes EZ downright high while giving him an energy boost after using it in his review GodzillaVsMegalon.
26** It does not help that Smoke on the Water is playing in the background when he does so.
27** It starts to get treated more of a drug than a simple TransformationTrinket now, complete with addiction, Rage Rider calling him out for using the drugs, and EZ quitting it cold turkey.
28* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Rage Rider heals up EZ Rider right before being killed by Shadow Moon]].
29* IWasToldThereWouldBeCake: Both Rage and Suave Rider are more interested in the cake than in the Dekaranger movie review, [[spoiler:even when EZ and his EvilTwin switch spots every now and then]].
30* JustHereForGodzilla: Oddly enough [[AvertedTrope averted]] in his two [[Film/GodzillaVsMegalon God]][[Film/GodzillaVsSpaceGodzilla zilla]] reviews, where he gives credit where it's due to the other characters. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]], however, in his [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyuranger]] review where he knows that his viewers only want to hear him talk about [[SixthRanger Bu]][[EnsembleDarkhorse rai]].
31* {{Mooks}}: Wraiths.
32* OlderThanTheyLook: Despite his short stature and boyish looks, EZ's currently in his 30's.
33* RealMenWearPink: EZ reveals in his Toonami Tribute video that his favorite show on the block is ''Anime/SailorMoon.''
34* RedOniBlueOni: Rage Rider's red, Suave Rider's blue.
35* RunningGag: A few, including:
36** [[MerchandiseDriven "Because toy sales will go through the roof!"]]
37** A clip of [[WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost Moltar]] saying, "We're just making all this @!&^ up!! Oh what, you're the only one that gets to make $*#* up?" whenever the show just throws it's hands and says "I don't give a crap".
38** "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Isn't it all POINTLESS!?]]" whenever a TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot comes up.
39** A clip of [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Yuuto calling Deneb]] an idiot whenever something stupid comes up.
40*** And then there's a clip when ''that'' proves to be weak. The ''Super''-baka clip, where three of the Den-O characters bap Deneb and call him an idiot at the same time.
41** The J-Hero Justice System gets pulled up whenever the authority attacks the resident hero or put him in jail.
42** "No Morphs Allowed" (ala "[[WesternAnimation/SnoopyComeHome No Dogs Allowed]]") whenever anyone demorphs after taking tons of damage.
43** "Rider Fail" (ala "[[Series/KamenRiderKabuto RIDER [insert finisher here]]]") happens whenever a Kamen Rider gets his ass handed to.
44* SharedUniverse: Due to cameos and crossovers, EZ Rider is part of the Reviewaverse.
45* ShoutOut: In Moonrise Part 3, [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Hidari Shotaro]] (as portrayed by EZ) comes and gives him both the Skull Memory and Skull Magnum the exact same way his mentor gave him the Lost Driver in Double's Movie. Lampshaded by EZ.
46** The scene in Moonrise Part 4 where EZ [[spoiler: gains the power to transform into Black RX]] is similar to ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'''s "unlocking the greater power" moment.
47** In that same video, The BigBad [[spoiler: kills TheDragon due to him failing one too many times]] then hires a new one, who remarks that Shadow Moon was a fool and that he will do better. This is reminiscent of the first season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', where Jedite falls (in the exact same way) and Queen Beryl hires Nephrite to succeed where Jedite failed.
48* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Inverted. Rage could tell that [[spoiler:EZ is not himself because he called the Dekaranger ending his favorite song, when he previously stated he hated it.]]
49* TheStinger: In Moonrise Part 4, Mr. Chairman hires a new soldier [[spoiler: after Shadow Moon failed him for the last time]], and it's [[spoiler: Wolzard]].
50* StockFootage: EZ uses footage from ''Series/KamenRiderBlack'' for most of Shadow Moon's moments. Lampshaded during Moonrise Part 4 when EZ mentioned that he uses Stock Footage and Shadow Moon turns around, asking him "...What Stock Footage?"
51** Also in Moonrise Part 4, footage from ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' and Kamen Rider World are also used. [[spoiler: After Shadow Moon is killed, Wolzard takes his place.]]
52* ThirdTimesTheCharm: Around the third Christmas Special, EZ Rider gets another gift from Santa at the end of the review. He knows that it's gonna suck and asks Rage to burn it. Rage Rider lampshades the trope and to EZ's surprise, it ''is'' the charm.
53* TransformationTrinket: As listed above, he uses several from various {{Toku}} shows.
54* TwinSwitch: [[spoiler: EZ and his EvilTwin keep switching places during the Dekaranger movie review]].
55* YouHaveFailedMe: Mr. Chairman [[spoiler: executes Shadow Moon after failing to beat EZ for the last time]].
56* VideoReviewShow
57* WorldOfWeirdness: It's set in the Reviewaverse, of course it's weird.
