| 8 | * Linkara replicating the questionable expressions that Tai and Sora made in the comic. |
| 9 | * When the kids notice something glowing in the clouds: |

| 11 | [[/folder]] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | [[folder:432: PATREON: Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl]] |
| 14 | * When Linkara sees dialogue about how music criticism should be more "radically militant." |
| 15 | -->'''Linkara:''' My god! The music critics are mobilizing! What's WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows doing right now?!\ |
| 16 | [''[[FauxHorrific Cut to Todd sleeping]]'']\ |
| 17 | '''Linkara:''' ''RUN FOR THE HILLS, EVERYONE!'' '''THE MUSIC CRITICS ARE COMING FOR US!!!''' [''Gets up and runs away''] |
| 18 | [[/folder]] |
| 19 | |
| 20 | [[folder:433: PATREON: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1]] |
| 21 | * "I'd actually start watching the ''Film/WrongTurn'' movies if they featured the Ninja Turtles fighting inbred cannibals." |
| 22 | * This bit: |
| 23 | -->'''Leonardo:''' With his sai, Raphael guards my right side. I sense his body quivering with tense energy, waiting to be triggered into savage, slashing release! |
| 24 | -->'''Linkara (as Raphael):''' For the ninth time Leo, [[PottyEmergency I really have to pee]]! |
| 25 | * One of the Purple Dragon gang members asks who are the turtles. |
| 26 | -->"I don't know but... [[FridgeLogic you ever think about the fact that... well, they're just naked? Like... all the time?]]" |
| 27 | * Linkara suggesting that the battle between the Ninja Turtles and Shredder took place on top of a club that happening to be playing "[[Film/MiamiConnection Against the Ninja]]" while the fight was going on. |
| 28 | [[/folder]] |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[folder:434: Trouble #3]] |
| 31 | * The title card, this time being a CallBack to the one for ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}: Guardian of Gotham'' #2, with a pregnant Aunt May with Linkara as [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]] and Catwoman and the caption, "I'm in an unnecessary comic AND PREGNANT!" |
| 32 | * It's brief, but Linkara quietly remarks to himself in slight shock that it took himself ''two years'' to get back to reviewing this series. |
| 33 | * During the recap, Linkara mentions that, in the previous issue, it was revealed that Aunt May "had a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Mickey Mouse fetish]], that she wanted to buy the Mystery Machine from Franchise/ScoobyDoo, and that she once ate a stack of Post-It Notes on a bet." |
| 34 | -->'''Linkara:''' One of those three things did not actually happen. If you haven’t watched the previous ''Trouble'' review, I bet you’ll be surprised which one it is.[[note]]It's the third one in case you're wondering.[[/note]] |
| 35 | * After Ben mocks the other guys and saying they're just jealous because they've only got Mrs. Palm and her five lovely daughters to keep them company. |
| 36 | -->'''Linkara:''' Eh, say what you will. At least they're loyal. |
| 37 | * As Ben is at a florist buying some flowers for May: |
| 38 | -->'''Linkara (as Ben):''' Also, [[Film/TheRoom2003 hai doggy]]. |
| 39 | * Linkara's reaction to Ben's face when he's having sex with May on the golf course. |
| 40 | * Ben shares his suspicion with Mary that May might be seeing someone else on the side: |
| 41 | -->'''Ben:''' Just the fact that every time I try to talk to her about going steady, she changes the subject to UsefulNotes/RichardNixon or UsefulNotes/EvelKnievel or whatever the hell else pops into her head.\ |
| 42 | '''Linkara (as Ben):''' I wouldn't mind so much, but she keeps talking about Richard Nixon ''while'' we're having sex and it's getting kind of weird... |
| 43 | * This gem: |
| 44 | -->'''Mr. Shelby:''' Ah, Ben, just the fellow: This gentlemen dropped a roast potato down his shorts. Could you escort him to the men's room?\ |
| 45 | '''Linkara:''' Well, I'm pretty sure this romance comic is about to hit us with a huge swerve in the relationships. I just don’t know if turning it into a gay porno was really the right way to go about it. |
| 46 | * In TheStinger, after a panel of her sarcastically commenting about hurting Ben's feelings as she continues to cheat on him, Linkara concludes that Aunt May [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation was really in cahoots with]] [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay Mephisto]] the entire time. |
| 47 | * In the comments section on the Youtube upload, one person made the [[FridgeHorror unfortunate]] realization: |
| 48 | -->'''[=JohnnyElRed8=]''': I just have this mental picture of Peter Parker finding his parents and uncle Ben and aunt May diaries about all of this.\ |
| 49 | It wasn't Kraven buring him alive. It wasn't the Green Goblin killing Gwen. Oh, no.\ |
| 50 | It was discovering [[{{Malaproper}} than]] his father and his aunt were horrible people, the thing that made him finally snap and become a supervillain. |
| 51 | [[/folder]] |
| 52 | |
| 53 | [[folder:Episode CDXXXV: The Star Wars #4]] |
| 54 | * The title card, with Linkara as Greedo hesitating to shoot Han Solo, who looks like [[Series/TheMightyBoosh Old Gregg]]. |
| 55 | [[/folder]] |
| 56 | |
| 57 | [[folder:436: PATREON: The Spectacular Spider-Man, Season 1, Episode 10 - "Persona"]] |
| 58 | * Linkara comments about how the TitleThemeTune has plenty of energy, but also a guitar riff that sounds rather mellow, the latter of which he demonstrates by wearing some CoolShades with the riff playing in the background. |
| 59 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(nonchalantly)'' Yeah. I'm cool. No biggie. |
| 60 | * Black Cat's attraction to Spider-Man in the episode (despite her possibly being an adult and Spidey being a teenager) leads to Linkara explaining a similar event that happened in the [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate comics]]... only in that instance Black Cat threw up all over Spidey after finding out he was a teenager. [[note]]WordOfGod for the show places Felicia at only 19, making her three years older than Spider-Man here.[[/note]] |
| 61 | * At one point, he mentions one of the scientists working on the symbiote project, who happens to be Curt Connors' wife, Martha. |
| 62 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice Because every superhero has a Martha in their lives.]] |
| 63 | * After Peter yells at Jonah for blaming Spider-Man for taking the symbiote: |
| 64 | -->'''Jameson:''' The Bugle only prints facts! And whatever it takes to connect the facts together.\ |
| 65 | '''Linkara (as Jameson):''' [[TakeThat We call those "Alternative Facts!"]] ...No, no, [[EveryoneHasStandards not even I can say that seriously.]] And I once invested in a robot to capture Spider-Man with my face on it. |
| 66 | * The Black Cat mentions she was hired by a "certain captain of industry" was hired to steal the symbiote for scientific potential. |
| 67 | -->'''Linkara''': Dammit, Tony Stark! There are other solutions to hair loss than this! |
| 68 | [[/folder]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | [[folder:437: Youngblood #9]] |
| 71 | * More than a bit of snark was had for the cameos of Marvel characters from a series by creators who really did not like writing other people's stories. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder:438: The A-Team #2]] |
| 75 | * The title card, featuring Linkara and B.A. Baracus being sat on by a sumo wrestler. |
| 76 | * Later, when Kuramoto is explaining how his father was kidnapped by hooded figures: |
| 77 | -->'''Kuramoto:''' As these photos taken by a fellow tourist shows, we were helpless! Unable to act, we stood by in terror! |
| 78 | -->'''[[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]:''' But he was abducted by ninjas! NINJAS! CALL THE COPS! |
| 79 | -->'''Linkara:''' Also, I noticed that this fellow tourist got multiple shots of this instead of...y'know...helping. Hell, I'd even doubt they even got any useful details in the photos. |
| 80 | -->'''Spoony:''' Did no one get a license plate !? |
| 81 | -->'''Linkara:''' They'd ask the person who took the photos more questions, but that person ended up dying while recording a FoundFootage movie. |
| 82 | * The comic mentions that the design of the cult's temple felt like time-warping to Japan centuries in the past. As such, Linkara does his "[[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Time Warp]]" RunningGag, only this time it leads to him traveling through an actual time-warp and ending up in Feudal Japan. |
| 83 | * Mr. T having [[CallBack another]] [[FlashbackStares flashback]] to his brief rap career. |
| 84 | [[/folder]] |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[folder:439: PATREON: The Batman/Superman Movie: World's Finest]] |
| 87 | * Linkara laments that he couldn't make any comparisons to ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', since he came up with five different Martha jokes, and ten references to Lex's pee bottle. |
| 88 | * When the President's plane is hijacked, and the Hijackers threaten the Reporters, there. |
| 89 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[ClickbaitGag “Ten Secrets That The Terrorists, Who Hijacked The President’s Plane, Don't Want You To Know About”]]. [[TakeThat There, now just need to circle some innocuous part of this photo, and…there]]! Journalism degree justified! |
| 90 | * Lois offers to set up a meeting between Bruce Wayne and Superman. |
| 91 | -->'''Linkara (as Batman):''' [[{{Tsundere}} N-No! It's not like I care about him or anything, baka!]] ''({{Beat}})'' OMG, does he think I'm cute?! |
| 92 | * At a nightclub, Batman interrogates a crook in order to know where the Joker is. |
| 93 | -->'''Crook:''' Who knows? Makin' "ha-ha" with Harley Quinn.\ |
| 94 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint But what would he even want with]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Nelson Muntz?]] |
| 95 | * When Superman discovers Batman's secret identity, we get this banter: |
| 96 | -->'''Superman:''' Bruce Wayne?\ |
| 97 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Hi Bruce Wayne, I'm Batman.\ |
| 98 | '''Linkara (as Superman):''' What? N-no, ''you're'' Bruce Wayne!\ |
| 99 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Am not.\ |
| 100 | '''Linkara (as Superman):''' Yes, you are!\ |
| 101 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Then who are you?\ |
| 102 | '''Linkara (as Superman):''' I'm Clark Kent -- aw, ''dammit!''\ |
| 103 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' ''(smugly)'' [[StillGotIt Still got it!]] |
| 104 | ** Later, after Lois discovers Batman's identity, he tries the trick again: |
| 105 | --->'''Lois Lane:''' So when were you going to tell me, the honeymoon?\ |
| 106 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Uh... Oh my God, Lois! You're Bruce Wayne?!\ |
| 107 | '''Linkara (as Lois):''' What? I-I'm Lois!\ |
| 108 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Ha! You admitted it!\ |
| 109 | '''Linkara (as Lois):''' ''(DeathGlare)''\ |
| 110 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Well, it was worth a try! |
| 111 | * Linkara's rant about Harley Quinn's alternating outfits, which he only does because he's contractually obligated to dislike something in his reviews. |
| 112 | ** Which becomes HilariousInHindsight since Justice League Action reverts Harley back to her original looks. |
| 113 | * During the scene where Luthor chews out the Joker, Linkara points out that [[OffModel the former's head grows huge for a moment]], and then says to never go to a business meeting while in [[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 DK mode]]. |
| 114 | * Bruce points out that Lois likes Superman and Bruce Wayne, but isn't crazy about their respective alter-egos. Superman then says it's too bad they can't mix and match. |
| 115 | -->'''Linkara (as Superman):''' Well, [[OnlySixFaces our character models are pretty similar.]] We could throw on each other's clothes and see if anybody notices.\ |
| 116 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' Nah, save it for [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E2KnightTime another crossover.]] |
| 117 | * At the end, after Clark tells Bruce that they worked pretty well together, but that he wouldn't want it to be a regular event: |
| 118 | -->'''Linkara (as Batman):''' Agreed! [[TemptingFate Absolutely never wanna work with you again! Never, ever!]] ''(Beat)'' We're gonna be in almost every episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' together, aren't we?\ |
| 119 | '''Linkara (as Superman):''' [[BluntYes Yep.]]\ |
| 120 | '''Linkara (as Batman):''' [[IKnewIt Thought so.]] |
| 121 | [[/folder]] |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[folder: 440: See You Next Mirror - Part 1: Exiles #1-61]] |
| 124 | * After seeing a demon ComicBook/SpiderMan in one of the alternate worlds, Linkara couldn't let a joke about ''One More Day'' and a reversed version of it slide. |
| 125 | * Linkara admits that he likes the villain Baron Blood. Why? Because he's not only a vampire, but a [[StupidBroomstickHitler Nazi vampire]], which gives him a +2 on the scale of how much we wants to see him beat up. |
| 126 | * When Linkara brings up David Richards, he mentions how he's the grandson of [[ComicBook/XMen Scott Summers, Jean Grey]], and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Reed and Sue Richards]]. |
| 127 | -->'''Linkara:''' Also, [[TangledFamilyTree with this family tree]], I fully expect Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog is in there somewhere. |
| 128 | [[/folder]] |
| 129 | |
| 130 | [[folder: 441: See You Next Mirror - Part 2: The Rest of Exiles]] |
| 131 | * The PreviouslyOn segment returns, complete with cameos from the likes of Calluna and [[WebVideo/{{Rocked}} Luke Spencer]], several {{Product Placement}}s for Linkara's Patreon (which are repeatedly [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]]), and several attempts to keep the segment as nonsensical as possible. |
| 132 | * The title card has a parody of the cover for ''Music/QueenII'' with a bunch of alternate Wolverines, while Linkara is standing off to the right holding a lit match. |
| 133 | * Linkara takes an aside to say that Beak, the guy who just saved the multiverse, got a happy ending (albeit demutated by M-day)... Except for his new non-mutated nose, but Linkara figures that's an okay tradeoff. |
| 134 | * On the subject of the various {{Continuity Snarl}}s and {{Retcon}}s brought up by Chris Claremont's run, we get this: |
| 135 | -->'''Linkara:''' It's like whole parts of the story have been deleted in order to--\ |
| 136 | ''(SmashCut to Linkara [[OrphanedPunchline talking about a different subject]], [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext wearing a jack-o-lantern on his head]])''\ |
| 137 | '''Linkara:''' And that's why Creator/MrT will be the best participant in ''Series/DancingWithTheStars'' ever! |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |
| 139 | |
| 140 | [[folder: 442: Reagan's Raiders #1]] |
| 141 | * Linkara opens the review by lampshading just how many things from his "Top 15 Comics I'll Never Review" list he went on to cover anyway, including a ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' comic he reviewed ''the very next episode''. |
| 142 | * Linkara lists various messages that different stories have, like [[Series/BarneyAndFriends "love one another"]], [[ComicBook/KingdomCome "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"]], and [[TakeThat the last one]], "[[{{ComicBook/Marville}} you just wasted your money.]]" |
| 143 | * [[VideoGame/BadDudes "Are]] ''[[VideoGame/BadDudes you]]'' [[VideoGame/BadDudes a bad enough dude to be rescued by the President?!"]] |
| 144 | * Linkara as Reagan wanting to team up with [[CallBack Captain Tax Time]]. |
| 145 | * During the storyline, Lord Vyce storms into Linkara's new apartment, tearing up first Linkara, then Harvey. Then he turns to Dr. Linksano....[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere who drops his gun and makes his way to another room quietly]]. |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder: 443: PATREON: Fist of the North Star Chapter 1]] |
| 149 | * Linkara hopes that by the time the review goes up, his then-taken-down [=YouTube=] channel will be restored so people can watch it. |
| 150 | -->'''Linkara:''' In the meantime, though, we're going to skip straight to the theme song so I can scream for a full minute. (''deep inhale'') '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--!!''''' |
| 151 | -->(''theme song starts'') |
| 152 | ** Sure enough, after the title card, Linkara finishes screaming and immediately moves on to the review. |
| 153 | ** There's also the way the entire situation is summed up in TheStinger: |
| 154 | --->'''Linkara:''' Oh boy! [[TemptingFate I can't wait to review]] ''[[TemptingFate Fist of the North Star]]'' [[TemptingFate this week]]!\ |
| 155 | ''(cut to an image of Kenshiro with a [=YouTube=] logo on his face)''\ |
| 156 | '''Kenshiro:''' Hey, Linkara. YouAreAlreadyDead.\ |
| 157 | ''(cut to a screen of Linkara's disabled [=YouTube=] account, accompanied by ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' LosingHorns)'' |
| 158 | * When Linkara dives into the review (since he didn't have a physical copy on hand - in spite of ordering one online, and Amazon claiming it was "Expected... a few days ago"), he makes this note when the story begins with [[NukeEm an atomic explosion]]. |
| 159 | -->'''Narrator:''' In the year [[AlternateHistory 2010]], [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the world was covered in atomic fires]].\ |
| 160 | '''Linkara:''' Man, in [[AlternateUniverse another universe]], WebVideo/{{Kickassia}} [[DownerEnding ended in a much darker way...]] |
| 161 | * There's also this moment when one gang member discovers a briefcase full of money, which another gang member throws away. |
| 162 | -->'''Gang member:''' You're kidding! It's completely useless!\ |
| 163 | '''Linkara:''' And already these guys are a smarter post-apocalyptic gang than the ones in [[TakeThat "Bimbos B.C."]] |
| 164 | [[/folder]] |
| 165 | |
| 166 | [[folder: 444: Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #4]] |
| 167 | * On the subject of the Music/LadyGaga parody in the comic: |
| 168 | -->'''Linkara:''' Pop culture parody with giant monsters is a [[{{Pun}} bad romance]]. |
| 169 | * Linkara's rant about the comic's DesignatedHero has its moments, like [[ItMakesSenseInContext suggesting a power plant fueled by his hatred of]] ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext that could power the whole Eastern seaboard]]. |
| 170 | ** There's also this: |
| 171 | --->'''Linkara:''' Hey everybody, you like it when I say "[[CallBack Boner]]"? Then take a look at [[{{Pun}} this huge dick]]! ''(points to an image of [[{{Jerkass}} the main character]])'' |
| 172 | * When Godzilla destroys the Hollywood sign: |
| 173 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[growling voice]'' [[TakeThat Take that]], Creator/RolandEmmerich! ''(normal voice)'' [[BaitAndSwitchComment Oh, not for the]] [[Film/Godzilla1998 '98 Zilla movie]]; Godzilla really hated ''Film/{{Anonymous|2011}}''. |
| 174 | [[/folder]] |
| 175 | |
| 176 | [[folder:445: PATREON: Iron Man, Season 1, Episode 13 - "The Wedding of Iron Man"]] |
| 177 | * The title card, featuring a smiling ComicBook/SpiderWoman, a tied-up [[WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries Tony Stark]], and a befuddled Linkara as the preacher. |
| 178 | * When bringing up the comic series ''Force Works'', which partially inspired the ''Iron Man'' animated series, Linkara once again questions the point of a "proactive" superhero team. |
| 179 | -->'''Linkara:''' Is there just an assumption that when superheroes aren't punching criminals, they're sitting on their asses in the lounge watching daytime soaps? |
| 180 | * Linkara getting the idea that Hypnotia is turned on by [[TotallyRadical 90's slang]]. |
| 181 | * The Mandarin's AdBreakDoubleTake where he cackles over how "Tony Stark is a dead man! A dead man!" |
| 182 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as Justin Hammer]'' Hypnotia, he has been saying that for ''ten'' minutes now! Shouldn't we do something?\ |
| 183 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Hypnotia]'' Mmmmm... First, say "Radical" again. |
| 184 | * When Hawkeye becomes incoherent in the middle of a sentence. |
| 185 | -->'''Linkara:''' Guys, did Hawkeye have a stroke in-between scenes? |
| 186 | * This moment when Hypnotia [[StandardFemaleGrabArea "restrains"]] Julia: |
| 187 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as Hypnotia]'' No other man can say "bodacious" like [Tony]. |
| 188 | * Linkara makes a few complaints about Hawkeye's depiction in the show, from his inability to speak clearly to [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent his unclear accent]], but when [[CarFu Hawkeye uses a hoverbike to run over the villains]], he immediately takes it all back. |
| 189 | * At one point, Linkara comments that the Mandarin's CoolStarship was nicked off of [[Franchise/RickAndMorty Rick Sanchez]]. |
| 190 | [[/folder]] |
| 191 | |
| 192 | [[folder:446: Athena #3]] |
| 193 | * The title card, with Linkara dusting away a large dust cloud of Zeus... while wearing the golden thong from the title card of the last issue. |
| 194 | [[/folder]] |
| 195 | |
| 196 | [[folder:447: PATREON: Batman: The Dark Knight #1-3]] |
| 197 | * The title card, Linkara and the White Rabbit reenact the famous "But you didn't do anything" exchange from ''Manga/SailorMoon''. |
| 198 | * Linkara's reaction to Two-Face renaming himself "One-Face": |
| 199 | -->'''Linkara''': I saw some people thinking this was some serious status quo for Two-Face. Leaving aside how hard it is for comics to ''have'' a status quo anymore, people thought ''this'' was gonna stick?! That Two-Face would be a huge brute who called himself ''One-Face'' now, [[NonindicativeName despite clearly still having half of his face melted]]? The fact that One-Face is a stupid friggin' name because ''[[CaptainObvious everybody has one face already?!]]'' That's like naming a villain "Breathes Oxygen"! It's kind of assumed already! Like...''what is this?!'' What is the ''point'' of this?! |
| 200 | ** And later... |
| 201 | -->'''Two-Face''': It's coming, Batman. A world full of people like me who've finally woken up. |
| 202 | -->'''Linkara''': (as Two-Face) Soon, we will ALL be One-Face! |
| 203 | * The use of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil Barry Burton's call for Wesker]] when talking about The Ventriloquist (who is named Arnold ''Wesker''). |
| 204 | * TheStinger counts as well: |
| 205 | -->'''White Rabbit:''' I like you.\ |
| 206 | '''Linkara (as White Rabbit):''' You can call me One-Boob from now on. |
| 207 | [[/folder]] |
| 208 | |
| 209 | [[folder:448: Patreon Viewers' Choice: The New Teen Titans Anti-Drug Giveaway #2]] |
| 210 | * The title card is a CallBack to "The Tandy Computer Whiz Kids: A Deadly Choice", with the Protector and Starfire instead of Alec and Shanna, and the shady drug pusher is none other than [[ComicBook/TheNewGuardians SNOWFLAME]]! |
| 211 | * Linkara makes another remark about the ridiculous names of certain drugs: |
| 212 | -->'''Linkara:''' Yo dog, I got something new for you to try out. You want a hit of... "[[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Burger Morpher]]"? |
| 213 | ** A commenter added that, [[NoExportForYou "Unfortunately, Burger Morpher was only available in Japan, and so it became an extremely rare drug in America."]] |
| 214 | * Apparently, cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana, and hashish are [[RougeAnglesOfSatin "pyschologically"]] addictive, meaning [[PottyEmergency the more you have to pee]], the more addicted you are. |
| 215 | * In the comic, one of the drug dealers' girlfriends has pink hair, leading Linkara to make this joke: |
| 216 | -->'''Coral:''' Oh Adam, don't be silly. I only care about ''you''. But you weren't paying any ''attention'' to me. So I decided to make you ''jealous''!\ |
| 217 | '''Linkara:''' What? But that's outrageous! [[WesternAnimation/{{Jem}} Truly, truly, truly outrageous!]] |
| 218 | * Linkara's CrossesTheLineTwice reaction to the scene where two teenagers are sniffing cocaine from off the bathroom floor. |
| 219 | * In the ending text, Linkara suggests that all the state funding for lectures against drugs accidentally got diverted to the school for the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids. |
| 220 | * TheStinger. Another public service announcement from Snowflame, who has been hiding in the background of several previous reviews. He follows that up with a SpoofAesop about fire safety. |
| 221 | -->'''Snowflame:''' And finally, remember what Snowflame says: keep the fire in your nose, and not in your house! |
| 222 | [[/folder]] |
| 223 | |
| 224 | [[folder:449: Event Comics Month: Crisis on Infinite Earths]] |
| 225 | * The title card is (naturally) a parody of [[PietaPlagiarism the cover of Issue #7]], filled with other versions of Linkara from past title cards and the Thing from Starstream. All of them are crying, except for Liefeld-Kara, though whose mouth looks sad despite his scowling face. |
| 226 | * Linkara mentions how the main threat that brought all the heroes together was originally called "The Librarian". Cue clip of [[Film/{{UHF}} Conan the Librarian]]. |
| 227 | * The story begins with The Beginning... |
| 228 | -->'''Narrator:''' In the beginning there was only one, a single black infinitude...\ |
| 229 | '''Linkara:''' Turns out someone forgot to plug the universe in. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | * "But then the Monitor appears... on a monitor. [[MemeticMutation Yo dawg.]]" |
| 232 | * When he gets to the merged Earth 1 and Earth 2 seen in later chapters, he declares that [[TakeThat it still makes more sense than the ending of]] ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge''. |
| 233 | * After the Joker states that he wants to [[{{Colorization}} colorize]] silent comedy films: |
| 234 | -->'''Linkara:''' The Joker works for Ted Turner? [[TakeThat He IS evil!]] |
| 235 | * As Kamandi is being saved by Earth-2 Superman: |
| 236 | -->'''Kamandi:''' Superman?\ |
| 237 | '''Superman:''' How do you-- ah, of course... You must have met my Earth-1 counterpart.\ |
| 238 | '''Linkara (as Kamandi):''' Actually, [[CallBack in my world]], [[ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd you work with chicken robots and have a huge Santa Claus beard]].\ |
| 239 | '''Linkara (as Superman):''' Oh no, we're not in the right ComicBook/{{Kamandi}} timeline! |
| 240 | * Still using the whiny voice for Superboy Prime even despite not being his more infamous genocidal {{Wangst}}y version, even out-of-context it makes it sound like a stereotypical nerd. |
| 241 | -->"But hey, no worries, [[TemptingFate I'm sure this Earth is really awesome]], I mean, it's not like ''my'' Earth [[CallBack was really all that special]]." |
| 242 | * Reading the Psycho-Pirate's final monologue: |
| 243 | -->'''Psycho-Pirate:''' You see, I like to ''remember'' the past because those were better times than now. I mean, ''I'd'' rather live in the past than today, would ''you''? I mean, nothing's ever certain anymore. Nothing's ever predictable like it used to be. These days, y-you never know who's going to die... and who's going to live.\ |
| 244 | '''Linkara:''' And thus: the Psycho-Pirate became WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic! |
| 245 | [[/folder]] |
| 246 | |
| 247 | [[folder:450: Event Comics Month: Secret Wars]] |
| 248 | * Linkara mentions that while DC made ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration DC's 50th anniversary]], Marvel made ''Secret Wars''... [[MerchandiseDriven for the sake of toy promotions with Mattel]]. |
| 249 | -->'''Linkara:''' But hey, at least you don't have to worry about that kind of blatant commercialism here. [[HypocriticalHumor On an unrelated note, did you know I have a new DVD coming out soon?]] |
| 250 | * "ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}: [[RunningGag At least a third of our members have or had a codename featuring the word 'Captain']]". |
| 251 | * In the same vein as Batman, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America, Linkara has a costume for when voicing Doctor Doom...and it is a [[https://imgur.com/hRaz7rH hilarious combination]] of [[StylisticSuck a Hobbit cloak and a mask made of duct tape]]. In fact, pretty much every line he says as Doom in the costume in hilarious: |
| 252 | -->"I can drive stick! I am DOOM!"\ |
| 253 | "Doom does not need friends! Doom needs none but his pet cat!"\ |
| 254 | "Doom loves that shade of green on you!"\ |
| 255 | "Oh no! Doom is casually mused about a world made of plaid, and now it is so! WHAT HAS DOOM DONE?!"\ |
| 256 | "Doom now knows why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch! DOOM KNOWS EVERYTHING!"\ |
| 257 | "Doom’s only hope is to annoy the Beyonder with constant self-narration!"\ |
| 258 | "HA, Beyonder! Even Doom’s removed spleen is more powerful than you! You have fallen into Doom’s trap!" |
| 259 | * Magneto's personal fortress: |
| 260 | -->'''Linkara:''' While [the heroes] start working on finding supplies and some scouting missions to find the remaining villains, Magneto makes his home in yet another fortress... which is of course shaped like a giant magnet.\ |
| 261 | '''[[VideoGame/XMen1992 Magneto]]:''' [[MemeticMutation I am Magneto, Master of Magnet!]] [[EvilLaugh Hahahahahahahahahaha!]] |
| 262 | * When Magneto turns down Doom’s offer of an alliance: |
| 263 | -->'''Doom:''' So be it! Know you then, that your choice is irrevocable-- and you will live to regret it!\ |
| 264 | '''Linkara (as Magneto):''' Do I still get a refund?\ |
| 265 | '''Linkara (as Doom):''' Of course! Doom is wise in the ways of customer service! |
| 266 | * When The Wasp calls Magneto "worse than Hitler": |
| 267 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[HaHaHaNo Hahahahaha... Janet, he's a Holocaust survivor, go to hell!]] |
| 268 | * When Enchantress gets drunk off her own conjured booze: |
| 269 | -->'''Enchantress:''' No one attends! I shall have to conjure my own mead again… or an innkeeper!\ |
| 270 | '''Linkara (as Enchantress):''' But first I shall summon a bouncer to kick me out of this bar, because I’ve had enough! And then I shall conjure a taxi to drive me home! |
| 271 | * A return of a gag from 2013, when the heroes find a machine that can create any product made of cloth. |
| 272 | -->'''Linkara''': What sort of futuristic machine is capable of such a thing? |
| 273 | -->'''2090's Kid''': Sewing machine! |
| 274 | * Linkara makes a point of talking about every setback Doom has in story (Kang the Conqueror attempting to assassinate him, Galactus casually kicking him off his ship, the Beyonder killing him then resurrecting and dissecting him). Then when Doom finally obtains the Beyonder's power... |
| 275 | -->'''Doom:''' The Beyonder is dead! Now the Supreme Being in the Universe is DOOM!\ |
| 276 | '''Linkara (as Doom):''' Doom feels that this is deserved after how crappy a day Doom has had until now. |
| 277 | [[/folder]] |
| 278 | |
| 279 | [[folder:451: Event Comics Month: The Infinity Gauntlet]] |
| 280 | * After pointing out the entire event is basically Thanos trying to woo death, Linkara spends most of the review playing it like if it was a date between the two, even giving Thanos' dating advices and criticizing his methods: |
| 281 | -->"Not too late to take her to a movie she'll like, Thanos! Extra points if it's something you know you'll hate!"\ |
| 282 | "Oh, dude, don't tell a woman to smile! This is why she won't go to prom with you!"\ |
| 283 | "Well, yeah, dude, nobody likes it when their date only talk about themselves and how wonderful they are! Jeez, you ''suck'' at this, Thanos!"\ |
| 284 | "Well, you see how bad this date is going? He's gonna start claiming she friendzoned him anytime, now!"\ |
| 285 | (As Thanos, after he ended up trapped in space by Nebula): "In retrospect, maybe I should have just given Death some chocolate..." |
| 286 | * For the third review in a row, the comic starts out in space: |
| 287 | -->'''Linkara:''' That’s 3-for-3 now of comics starting out in space, and all three are considered classics. And yet, ''ComicBook/AmazonsAttack'', ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'', and ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}''? All suck, all not in space. Think about it. |
| 288 | * Since ComicBook/{{Mephisto}} is in this event, Linkara wastes no time making ComicBook/OneMoreDay jokes, including the demon offering to buy Thanos' marriage with Death, and this: |
| 289 | -->(after Thanos tried to kill Mephisto): "Unfortunately, we are denied the glory of seeing that One More Day-causing dickhead get his due..." |
| 290 | * Linkara's suggestion of what Thanos should do with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet include making a Star Wars/Star Trek crossover finally happen, or turning his chin smooth. |
| 291 | * This line: |
| 292 | -->'''Thanos:''' Any result that displeases me, I can simply reverse!\ |
| 293 | '''Linkara (as Thanos):''' I HOLD THE POWER OF RETCONS AND REBOOTS! |
| 294 | * When Thanos presents a disfigured, half-dead Nebula to Death: |
| 295 | -->'''Linkara (as Thanos):''' I shall impress you, Lady Death... BY GIVING HER A MAKEOVER! |
| 296 | * When Thanos creates Terraxia to make Death jealous, Linkara refers to it as Thanos making a Rule63 version of himself. |
| 297 | * Linkara's theory that Death has a walkman under her robe playing "No Scrubs" on repeat. |
| 298 | * At one point in the story, Thanos mentioned "I was a man" in reference to before he got the Infinity Gauntlet. Cue an Infinity Gauntlet wearing Linkara doing his "''I AM A MAN!''" punch (in this case, "''I WAS A MAN!''"), with him causing a ripple in the fabric of reality that he compares to one of [[ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis Superboy-Prime's punches]]. |
| 299 | * Of all the things for Linkara to be weirded out by, it's the fact that Eternity, the living embodiment of the Marvel Universe, has horns. |

| 301 | |
| 302 | [[folder:452: Event Comics Month: Flashpoint]] |
| 303 | * The title card, a recreation of the first issue's cover with Linkara as ''Athena'' replacing Barry, and Snowflame, Mechakara, Pollo, and Tuckerthing replacing the Flashpoint versions of Aquaman, Cyborg, Batman, and Wonder Woman. |
| 304 | * When it's revealed Wonder Woman and the Amazons became man-hating invaders in this timeline, Linkara expresses his disgust that, despite all the considerable changes compared to the main timeline, they ''still'' had ''[[TakeThat Amazons Attack]]''. |
| 305 | * Barry starts getting beaten up by this timeline’s version of Batman when he finds him in the Batcave, with Barry only getting him to stop when he starts calling him Bruce… to which Batman says that he watched Bruce die. |
| 306 | --> '''Barry:''' This is… my god… you…\ |
| 307 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Barry]'' My ''god'', Batman… you’re [[BaitAndSwitch Martha Wayne!]] |
| 308 | * Linkara notes how finding the Reverse-Flash costume inside Barry's Flash Ring makes Thomas Wayne completely believe Barry about the timeline being altered when moments ago he was beating him up and calling him delusional. |
| 309 | -->'''Flashpoint!Batman:''' ''[after Barry explains to him who Eobard Thawne is]'' The ''Reverse''-Flash? Why would his uniform be inside ''your'' ring? And how does it even fit in there?\ |
| 310 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Flashpoint!Batman]'' And why am I suddenly talking to you about future people, and "Reverse-Flashes", and people named "Eobard" when a second ago I was beating the snot out of you? And isn't your finger broken, shouldn't you be in constant pain right now? |
| 311 | ** Speaking of what Thomas thinks about the name "Eobard", this moment occurs when Flashpoint!Batman stabs Professor Zoom: |
| 312 | --->'''Flashpoint!Batman:''' Doctor's advice: When you're in the middle of a war, don't stand still.\ |
| 313 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Flashpoint!Batman]'' And "Eobard" is a stupid name, your future is dumb, and you should feel dumb! |
| 314 | * Upon seeing Barry's first attempt to repower himself resulted in severe burns all over his body, he joins in the cry of the fans of ''Series/TheFlash2014:'' Damn it, Barry! |
| 315 | * Linkara suggesting that in the Flashpoint timeline, Bruce Wayne's death was caused by [[RunningGag rock and roll music]]. |
| 316 | ** Adding to that, despite the fact that Flashpoint!Batman is Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, he still hates rock and roll. Then again, there was this one flashback in ''Fortunate Son'', so it must run in the family. |
| 317 | * When Thomas initially refuses to help fight in the war between the Amazons and Atlantians, Barry convinces him by saying it's what Bruce would've done. |
| 318 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as The Flash]'' Hey Thomas, get me some coffee.\ |
| 319 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Flashpoint!Batman]'' Get your own coffee, Barry.\ |
| 320 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as The Flash]'' Bruce would've gotten me coffee...\ |
| 321 | '''Linakra:''' ''[as Flashpoint!Batman]'' Cream and sugar? |
| 322 | * Once the Flashpoint timeline is rebooted into the New 52, this conversation with the Flash and Batman ensues. |
| 323 | -->'''Batman:''' The whole world changed because you tried to prevent your mother's murder?\ |
| 324 | '''The Flash:''' And it was on the brink of destruction before I changed it back.\ |
| 325 | '''Batman:''' But now, everything's back to "normal"?\ |
| 326 | '''The Flash:''' As far as I can tell.\ |
| 327 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Batman]'' Good! Because I need to get back on to work on defeating my new nemesis: ''[[CallBack One-Face]]''! |
| 328 | * After the Flash chastises himself over the fact that he caused the Flashpoint timeline by going back in time to save his mother, Batman reassures Barry that he would have done the same thing. |
| 329 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as The Flash]'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You would travel back in time to save MY mother?]]\ |
| 330 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Batman]'' Well, to be perfectly frank, Barry... She is kinda hot.\ |
| 331 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as The Flash]'' [[{{Squick}} Dude! Not cool!]] |
| 332 | [[/folder]] |
| 333 | |
| 334 | [[folder:453: Babylon 5 #1]] |
| 335 | * During the intro, Linkara brings up two previous comics by ''Series/BabylonFive'' creator Creator/JMichaelStraczynski he's covered on the show, and states that he's not going to hold them against him, since ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' [[ExecutiveMeddling wasn't his choice]] and... then realizes he has no such excuse for ''[[ComicBook/SupermanGrounded Superman #701]]''. "Well, that comic was over ''there'', and over there needs to take care of its own problems." |
| 336 | [[/folder]] |
| 337 | |
| 338 | [[folder:Episode CDLIV: The Star Wars #5]] |
| 339 | * The title card, with Linkara walking away in disgust at the [[IncestSubtext infamous]] BigDamnKiss from Luke and Leia. |
| 340 | ** Not only that, but Luke and Leia are drawn to look like [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Samurai Jack and Ashi]]. |
| 341 | -->'''Description''': [[TakeThat The poorly conceived romance strikes back!]] |
| 342 | * Linkara's costume for Prince Valorum is Cobra Commander's facemask from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''. |
| 343 | * Linkara criticizes the sudden romance between Leia and Annikin, since the only chemistry they've had so far was [[LoveAtFirstPunch Leia getting punched in the face]], and when Annikin return her feelings, we get this reaction: |
| 344 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[sigh]'' I am [[FacePalm face-palming]] with the Infinity Gauntlet, Annikin! [[StrangledByTheRedString That's how bad we've gotten]]! |
| 345 | [[/folder]] |
| 346 | |
| 347 | [[folder:455: PATREON: All-New Ghost Rider Vol. 2: Legend]] |
| 348 | * The title card, featuring Linkara grinning evilly as he shows Robbie the two live-action ''Film/GhostRiderDuology'' movies. |
| 349 | * This exchange: |
| 350 | -->'''Nikolai:''' ID, please. |
| 351 | -->'''Eli:''' Ain't got one, Nikolai. ...heh-heh. I'm a minor now. |
| 352 | -->'''Linkara!Eli:''' Heh-heh-heh... I'm not old enough to drink. I can finally get my life together! |
| 353 | [[/folder]] |
| 354 | |
| 355 | [[folder:456: Robocop vs. The Terminator #2]] |
| 356 | * The title card, featuring Linkara and Superman [[PassThePopcorn eating popcorn]] while watching Murphy and the Terminator stare each other down. |
| 357 | * During the intro, Linkara sets up a TemptingFate joke about how we're in good hands because DC never got around to continuing ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' like they said they would, only to be interrupted by the cover of ''All-Star Batman''. The real joke here, as he then clarifies, is that the comic in question has nothing to do with ASBAR or Creator/FrankMiller, and is written by Creator/ScottSnyder for ComicBook/DCRebirth. |
| 358 | -->'''Linkara:''' The dude has long since proven his abilities as a Batman writer, and even established that, indeed, his Batman likes rock and roll. Does this mean the end of my "Batman hates rock and roll" gag?! Nope. It's been this long since ''Batman: Fortunate Son'', and I am still wildly entertained by Batman's irrational hatred of rock music. Plus, you know, I love to beat recurring gags into the ground. Ain't that right Cyberleader?\ |
| 359 | '''Cyberleader:''' There is logic in what he says. |
| 360 | [[/folder]] |
| 361 | |
| 362 | [[folder:457: Superman vs. The Terminator #2]] |
| 363 | * The title card again, this time with Superman and [=RoboCop=] having swapped places, so it's now Clark staring down the Terminator, and Alex eating popcorn with Linkara and watching. |
| 364 | [[/folder]] |
| 365 | |
| 366 | [[folder:458: Tandy Computer Whiz Kids: News By Computer Foils Kidnappers]] |
| 367 | * The title card, with Linkara, Alec, and Shanna gazing in terror at [[CallBack Mr. Computer]]. |
| 368 | * The class opens once again with Ms. Wilson welcoming the class back from summer vacation, and Linkara responds by making the [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow "Time Warp"]] RunningGag. |
| 369 | * Linkara's AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Alec and Shanna as "demonic hell children who have [[GroundhogDayLoop trapped their school in a time loop for all eternity]] so that they can discuss their summer vacations and [[ProductPlacement sell Tandy computer products]]". |
| 370 | * After Axel and Shanna foil the kidnappers, Ms. Wilson closes up their exhibit and they exit...into a [[OffModel ''very'' weirdly drawn exterior]] |
| 371 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[Film/TheCabinetOfDrCaligari The Computer of Dr. Caligari]]! |
| 372 | [[/folder]] |
| 373 | |
| 374 | [[folder:459: Ultimate Power #4]] |
| 375 | * The title card: Linkara trapped among a nonstop barrage of Greg Land's rendition of Susan Storm's [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150607173131/http://lubbockonline.com/sites/default/files/wp-images/land-pface.jpg shocked face]]. |
| 376 | * Linkara showing off Comicron Two's holodeck, cycling through the ship's normal bridge, the old Star Trek bridge, Comicron One's old bridge, and...the stage of Series/{{Pyramid}}. For when he just wants something weird. |
| 377 | [[/folder]] |
| 378 | |
| 379 | [[folder:460: PATREON: Delicious in Dungeon, Ch. 1]] |
| 380 | * Amidst all the NightmareFuel in this episode (bar the review segment...somewhat), Harvey and Vyce spend much of the post-review segments at each other's throats. The way they play off each other is hilarious, almost childish on Vyce's part. Crowning moment goes to Harvey referring to Vyce as a "rejected ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' villain", who promptly slowly turns towards Harvey to leer at him in indignation. |
| 381 | ** Doubly funny when if you remember what inspired and prompted Lewis to create Vyce's character and design in the first place: Lord Zedd as a truly well-designed menacing villain, and challenging himself to make much better suits than [[WTHCostumingDepartment the embarrassing designs]] of [[ThePsychoRangers Zedd's]] [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP12GreenNoMorePart1 Dark]] [[Recap/MightyMorphinPowerRangersS2EP13GreenNoMorePart2 Rangers]]. |
| 382 | * The pocket dimension 90's Kid sent himself, Linkara's allies, and Vyce (and later Erin) in to protect themselves? Linksano notes that a certain "Crow cosplayer" hosts his horror show there! |
| 383 | [[/folder]] |
| 384 | |
| 385 | [[folder:461: Batman Odyssey #1]] |
| 386 | * The title card: Batman holds up a gun in each hand and proclaims in a crazy manner: "I like cheese whiz!" |
| 387 | * In order to reflect Batman's less professional costume from the flashback, Linkara decides to wear a [[StylisticSuck poorly-made cloth mask]] for his dialogue. |
| 388 | [[/folder]] |
| 389 | |
| 390 | [[folder:462: PATREON: Asterix the Legionary]] |
| 391 | * Describing ComicBook/{{Asterix}} and Obelix as cosplaying as [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and Literature/PippiLongstocking respectively. |
| 392 | * His repeated jokes about the {{Pun}}-based names of various characters: |
| 393 | ** Based on Getafix's name, Linkara accuses the druid of actually using mistletoe to make drugs. |
| 394 | ** When introduced to Neveratalos the Greek and Selectivemploymentax the Briton: |
| 395 | -->'''Linkara''': Some people name their kids after heroic and inspiring figures in their lives... others name them after taxes. |
| 396 | ** Being baffled by the name of the Roman spy [=H2SO4=]. His codename is the chemical compound for sulfuric acid, so naturally his name is... Vitriolix. |
| 397 | ** The crowning moment has to be his reaction to the Roman commander "Dubius Status" |
| 398 | -->'''Linkara''': Look, just because you thought your wife was cheating on you, doesn't mean you have to take it out on the kid! |
| 399 | * Playing the famous [[MemeticMutation "He's already dead!"]] clip from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Homie the Clown]]" as Asterix, frustrated at being lead in circles by Roman bureaucracy, beats the crap out of a legionary. |
| 400 | * Linkara finds great hilarity in the Roman centurions breaking down as they struggle to control their troops. |
| 401 | -->'''Linkara''': I love this. It's like if Creator/RLeeErmey kept yelling at everybody in a war movie, but everybody just ignored him, so he had a breakdown! |
| 402 | * Based on how easily Asterix and Obelix are able to deal with the issues in their way, Linkara ponders if they'd end up running the entire Roman Empire in two weeks. |
| 403 | [[/folder]] |
| 404 | |
| 405 | [[folder:463: Comic Book Quickies #7]] |
| 406 | * The title card, featuring Linkara and ComicBook/TheAtom being chased by [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Waddles]]. |
| 407 | * "Superman vs. the Laughing Gas Bandits" opens with said bandits dousing citizens with pink gas, which is also laced with kryptonite so that Superman can't fight them, that he will now have to stop some other crime, not that Supes was going to try and stop them anyway, as Linkara points out: |
| 408 | -->"You see, your crime is ''(points offscreen)'' [[ComicBook/SupermanGrounded over there, and 'over there' has to take care of its own problems.]]" |
| 409 | * Lord Vyce and 90's Kid discussing Vyce's loss. |
| 410 | -->'''Vyce:''' I find myself asking: what am I fighting for?\ |
| 411 | '''90's Kid:''' A world more radical...than [[TotallyRadical sadical]].\ |
| 412 | '''Vyce:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll Indeed]]. |
| 413 | ** And later when the ship starts repairing itself. |
| 414 | --->'''90's Kid:''' Bodacious!\ |
| 415 | '''Vyce:''' Not the word I would use but it is adequate. |

| 420 | --> '''Linkara''': Call me [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Zoosmell Pooplord.]] |
| 421 | * During the intro, Linkara notes that he hasn't seen the show before but has probably seen a lot of the [[Memes/JoJosBizarreAdventure Memes]] referenced and will finally be getting context for them. Sure enough, a few minutes in: |
| 422 | -->'''Linkara''': Oh, hey, I finally have context for that "But it was I, Dio!" meme. And it's based on [[ForcefulKiss assaulting]] a girl, what?! |
| 423 | ** Despite this, Linkara proceeds to come up with multiple variations of the "But it was I" meme. After Dio slaps Erina for washing her mouth out with muddy water after the forced kiss: |
| 424 | --->'''Linkara (as Dio):''' You didn't think a person could find new ways to be human garbage, but it was I, Dio! |
| 425 | * After finding out that the fourth episode is titled [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive "Overdrive"]], he declares that [=JoJo=] will be fighting in a [[TakeThat terrible Power Rangers season]]. |
| 426 | * This quote after Speedwagon discovers the carriage driver's head replaced with a horse's head. |
| 427 | --> Damn it, man, this is no time for your WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman cosplay!" |
| 428 | * Calling Jack the Ripper [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce "Ransik"]] after seeing him sprout blades from his body. |
| 429 | * "[[ARareSentence ...Aaaaand then Jack the Ripper pops out of a horse.]] Welp... Gotta admit, I think we've definitely reached the 'bizarre' part of the adventure..." |

| 431 | |
| 432 | [[folder:465: PATREON: Thunderbirds Are Go]] |
| 433 | * His reaction to the TagLine of the film: |
| 434 | -->'''Announcer:''' Thunderbirds Are Go!\ |
| 435 | '''Linkara:''' [[VideoGame/PokemonGo Don't brag about how YOU were able to catch a Zapdos! I'm still trying to FIND a Legendary, here!]] |
| 436 | * In a Meta-Sense. When talking about the Film's Pacing, Linkara explains by the time the crew are loaded in to the Zero-X Ship, the film reaches the ten minute mark. Coincidentally, he says this, just as the review itself reaches the ten minute mark! |
| 437 | * Linkara notices that Lady Penelope's car can become a boat, similar to the Batmobile, but claims that her car is more awesome, because it is bright pink! |
| 438 | * The dream sequence causes a lot of funny lines from Linkara, such as: |
| 439 | ** When the car begins to fly: |
| 440 | --->'''Linkara (as Parker):''' Roads, Alan!? [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 Where we're going, we don't need roads!]] |
| 441 | ** During a song number from Cliff Richard (Junior)... |
| 442 | --->'''Linkara''': Remember when this film had a plot? |
| 443 | ** Linkara questions why Alan is dreaming of a random cutaway to Parker waiting in the car. |

| 445 | |
| 446 | [[folder:466: Batman: The Official Movie Adaptation - [=AT4W=]/Nostalgia Critic]] |
| 447 | * WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic complains that [[CallBack he spent several months in the corner]] after Linkara [[RunningGagged killed the Bat-Credit Card joke]], when he could have used that time to make more reviews. This leads to this exchange, which includes HypocriticalHumor on both sides: |
| 448 | -->'''Linkara''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, *scoff* yeah! I'm sure everyone was BEGGING YOU for a clipless review of]] ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''. Tell me, do you remember when you used to be 'nostalgic'? |
| 449 | -->'''Critic''': [[SarcasmMode I'm sorry we can't all have]] ''[[SarcasmMode your]]'' [[SarcasmMode integrity, Mr. Bad Comic Reviewer]]. What did you cover these last two weeks? [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure An anime]] and [[Series/{{Thunderbirds}} a PUPPET MOVIE]]?!? |
| 450 | * When asked how he even got in the house, Critic replies cryptically, "I have my ways..." Cue flashback: |
| 451 | -->'''Critic''': ''[casually enters house while Viga reads an MLP comic on the couch]'' Gonna go bug your roommate.\ |
| 452 | '''Viga''': ''[not turning around]'' It's okay, you're the third one this week. At least you're not from space. |
| 453 | * Critic gets to the point and explains that Linkara has been constantly interrupting his reviews for crossovers, so he decided to return the favor; Linkara asks him why he would agree to that. |
| 454 | -->'''Critic:''' [[TwoWordsAddedEmphasis Two words]]: [[MoneyDearBoy ad revenue]].\ |
| 455 | '''Linkara:''' ''(opens his mouth and holds up his finger as if to argue, but stops himself)'' ...So let's dig into ''Batman: The Official Movie Adaptation'' and see how it holds up to [[Film/Batman1989 the film]].\ |
| 456 | ({{beat}})\ |
| 457 | '''Critic:''' It won't be as good.\ |
| 458 | '''Linkara:''' Shut up. |
| 459 | ** And indeed, the viewcount for the episode is 2-3 times greater than what Linkara's normal episodes get. |
| 460 | * Linkara ''attempts'' to look over the cover as he usually does, ''buuuut''... |
| 461 | -->'''Linkara:''' The cover is-- wh-- hey, stop that!\ |
| 462 | ''(cut to Linkara and the Critic struggling over the comic)''\ |
| 463 | '''Critic:''' ''GIVE IT!''\ |
| 464 | '''Linkara:''' ''I'' hold the comic!\ |
| 465 | '''Critic:''' I can't review it if I can't ''see'' it!\ |
| 466 | '''Linkara:''' Then I'll just ''describe'' it for you, you jerk!\ |
| 467 | '''Critic:''' Okay! Okay! We'll ''both'' hold it.\ |
| 468 | '''Linkara:''' Fine.\ |
| 469 | ''(they both stare into the camera, holding the comic for a few seconds silently as their faces express a lack of comfort)''\ |
| 470 | '''Critic:''' ...This is awkward.\ |
| 471 | '''Linkara:''' ''(as he takes the comic back)'' I agree -- we'll just switch off.\ |
| 472 | '''Critic:''' Okay. |
| 473 | ** Immediately after that: |
| 474 | -->'''Linkara:''' The cover is okay, a wraparound for the prestige format book...\ |
| 475 | '''Critic:''' [[GenreBlind That... sure is a bunch of words you just said.]]\ |
| 476 | '''Linkara:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm so glad I have you here to help me with this review.]] |
| 477 | * Talking about the cover: |
| 478 | --> '''Linkara''': Funny thing is, if you swing the camera over to the right, you'd see [[ContinuityNod Nightcat hanging out with her three cats]].\ |
| 479 | '''Critic''': Maybe these aren't ''his'' [[ItMakesSenseInContext ghostly skyfaces]], but the gargoyle's. That thing looks like it's going through some issues. |
| 480 | * They play the clip of Grissom dropping Jack Napier's "lucky deck" into his hat, before cutting to the Critic doing his best Jack impression with a hat in his hand: |
| 481 | -->'''"Jack":''' Thanks. ''[Puts on the hat and a deck of cards falls out]'' |
| 482 | * Linkara notices Critic's spontaneous disappearance near the halfway point of the review, only for him to return holding outfits and talking about a "[[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]] in ''Franchise/StarTrek''" sketch, having mistaken the show's storyline segments for skits; this prompts Linkara to launch into an angry rant about how the events in those segments [[ThisIsReality actually happen to him]] and that he's in the middle of dealing with his current problem. |
| 483 | -->'''Critic:''' ''({{beat}})'' So you go through incredibly harsh and traumatic events... and put them at the end of your review show?\ |
| 484 | '''Linkara:''' ''({{beat}})'' [[BluntYes Yeah]].\ |
| 485 | '''Critic:''' Are you re-enacting them?\ |
| 486 | '''Linkara:''' Uh, th-there are cameras all over the place; Pollo edits them in.\ |
| 487 | '''Critic:''' I don't think I would do something like that.\ |
| 488 | '''Linkara:''' Really? Then how do you explain ''those?!''\ |
| 489 | ''(Linkara points at posters of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'', and ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'')''\ |
| 490 | '''Critic:''' ''({{Beat}}; as he tosses aside the outfits)'' Perhaps we should get back into the review.\ |
| 491 | ''(Critic sits back down, and the room plunges into silence)''\ |
| 492 | '''Linkara:''' ...[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Walter White in Star Trek]]?!\ |
| 493 | '''Critic:''' ''He's'' bald, ''I'm'' bald, ''Picard'' is bald -- ''IT MAKES SENSE!'' |
| 494 | * The Joker reveals his plan: |
| 495 | -->'''Joker:''' Where can you buy these fine new items? Well, that's the deal folks. Chances are you've bought'em already.\ |
| 496 | '''Linkara:''' You're not fully dead until you're ''Zest''-fully dead!\ |
| 497 | '''Critic:''' Herbal essences, YES, YES, I'M DYING, YES! |
| 498 | * Both Linkara and Critic don Bat-masks. However, as Linkara only has 1 rubber mask, Critic is forced to don the cloth mask from Linkara's Halloween costume as a kid[[note]]previously seen in the ''Batman Odyssey'' review[[/note]]. |
| 499 | -->'''Critic:''' Can I get the nicer Batman mask?\ |
| 500 | '''Linkara:''' ''(in Batman's voice)'' No! |
| 501 | * Stock footage of the balloon from Critic's [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS3E40 review]] of ''Film/It1990''. |
| 502 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(scared)'' Is that [[LampshadeHanging stock footage]] gonna kill us?\ |
| 503 | '''Critic:''' ''(scared and in a very frightened tone)'' I don't know... |
| 504 | * During the part where the Joker manages to shoot the Batplane down, this happens: |
| 505 | -->'''Batman:''' Explosive shell. I'm hit! I'm going down!\ |
| 506 | '''Critic (as Batman):''' Alfred! If you don't see me again, [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises look for me in Italy]]! |
| 507 | * Linkara tries to say his {{Catchphrase}} "This comic..." while holding the comic to his right as usual but, unused to having a co-host, holds it off-camera, so he tries again, instead holding the comic in front of the Critic's face. When he pulls the comic away, Critic has a very annoyed look on his face. |
| 508 | * At the very end, the Critic delivers his usual SigningOffCatchPhrase ("I'm the Nostalgia Critic; I remember it so you don't have to!"), but Linkara realizes he doesn't have his own. |
| 509 | -->"I'm Linkara! ''(awkward pause)'' ...I don't have an end-of-episode catchphrase. ''(another awkward pause)'' Credits now!" |
| 510 | [[/folder]] |
| 511 | |
| 512 | [[folder:467: PATREON: Ultimate Iron Man #1-2]] |
| 513 | * The title card, with Tony Stark as a [[ItMakesSenseInContext giant blue brain]], and [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender]] as the drunk robot clone of Iron Man [[CallBack from the Ultimates 3 review]]. |
| 514 | * The intro concludes with Linkara mentioning how Orson Scott Card called Franchise/StarTrek "bad science fiction". Rather than get mad, he scoffs, and launches into the review to see how "[[SarcasmMode good science fiction]]" is written. |
| 515 | ** Which ultimately ties into the punchline he gives at the end: this mini-series was eventually {{retcon}}ned into being a TV show's interpretation of Iron Man's origins due to how goofy it was. |
| 516 | --->"Great science fiction, Orson. It was so bad, they considered it ''InUniverse'' to be bad science fiction!" |
| 517 | * "Look, it was either proper lab equipment, or a Betamax player! ''We can't afford both!''" |
| 518 | [[/folder]] |
| 519 | |
| 520 | [[folder:468: PATREON: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #11-12]] |
| 521 | * While preparing to defeat the Entity once and for all, Linkara decides to pass the time the best way he knows how, which Vyce naturally [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]]. |
| 522 | -->'''Vyce''': Of all the champions I’ve vanquished in my quest, all the creatures that I’ve encountered and destroyed, I have never beheld a more perplexing trait that your desire to review things while facing doom and destruction.\ |
| 523 | '''Linkara:''' Don't knock it 'til you try it. |
| 524 | * Inevitably, [[RunningGag Viga tosses ponies at Linkara again]]. And since the comic is parodying 80’s teen movies, she wants Linkara to use pony toys ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Soundwave]]) to act out scenes from ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. |
| 525 | ** The only way Linkara convinces her to let him review in peace is by promising to take her to see [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 the movie]] as many times as she wants. Which is $600 worth of screenings. And right as he starts the review: |
| 526 | --->'''Viga:''' We also gotta see ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''!\ |
| 527 | '''Linkara:''' We’ll go see it [[SelfDeprecation when I can actually]] [[ScheduleSlip get my episodes out on time]]! |
| 528 | * When Linkara notices the [[Music/BornInTheUSA "Born in Equestria"]] cassette tape: |
| 529 | -->'''Linkara:''' So it's a song about the hardships veteran ponies face in Equestria when they return home from Vietnam? |
| 530 | * Linkara remarks that the real problem with a world populated by horses is that no one can give the finger to Buck. As he says this, he's mimicking a hoof with his hand. |
| 531 | * When Shining Armour is playing a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''-like game, his friends try to get his attention with "We need our paladin!" It then shows this... |
| 532 | -->'''The Avatar:''' [[VideoGame/UltimaIX What's a paladin?]] |
| 533 | * Linkara notices that Poindexter has a pin with "Where's the beef?" Having done his research, he knows cows are sentient in Equestria, and the implied cannibalism makes him ''very'' uncomfortable. |
| 534 | * Linkara's increasing frustration with how the ponies have the same devices as humans despite the lack of fingers. [[RantInducingSlight It gets to a breaking point when they have an equivalent to a]] [[Franchise/StarTrek bat'leth]]. |
| 535 | * His perplexed asking how any princess can get any benefit if even Cadance had to attend public high school rather than private tutoring. |
| 536 | * After Twilight and Shining's mom makes a comment about Shining being "cranky-wanky". |
| 537 | -->'''Linkara:''' Oh don't worry, I'm sure he gets very wanky when thinking about Cadence. ... [[SelfDeprecation I'm awful, why do you people watch me?]] |
| 538 | * Linkara depicts Cadance as a StalkerWithACrush who wants to gather up Shining's hair to put it on an effigy she calls "My little pony." Which he says while holding up an actual figurine of Shining Armor. |
| 539 | * Linkara's surprise, when it is reveled that Shining Armour's friend is actually Sam Beckett which means ''Friendship is Magic'' is set in the same Universe as ''Series/QuantumLeap'', and since Cadence is telling the story, she knew that is him! |
| 540 | * Linkara's incredulous "That actually ''worked''?!" when he caught the Entity in a Poké Ball. And when it immediately escaped: |
| 541 | -->'''Linkara:''' Well, if ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' taught me anything, it's that you keep chucking balls until you get it right. |
| 542 | ** Then, when a second Poké Ball doesn't work... |
| 543 | --->'''Linkara:''' Well... Maybe, if we use an Ultra Ball... |
| 544 | [[/folder]] |
| 545 | |
| 546 | [[folder:469: PATREON: Stormwatch #0]] |
| 547 | * The capabilities of Linksano's goggles are dampened when Vyce teleports the crew into the brig: |
| 548 | -->'''Linksano:''' No, wait—Twitter's still working, so not a total loss! |
| 549 | * Linkara needs about a half-hour to come up with a plan to close the portal before it destroys the Earth. [[RunningGag You know what that means]]... |
| 550 | ** Harvey naturally objects: |
| 551 | --->'''Harvey:''' Kid! ''[[SkewedPriorities Priorities!]]'' |
| 552 | --->'''Linkara:''' I do have my priorities—one of those priorities is the ability to pay rent should we survive all of this! |
| 553 | ** Also this line: |
| 554 | --->'''Pollo''': [[LampshadeHanging One of these days, he'll be halfway through the review and we'll have already saved the world]]! |
| 555 | [[/folder]] |
| 556 | |
| 557 | [[folder:470: A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Beginning #1-2]] |
| 558 | * The title card, with Thing-Tucker drawing [[StylisticSuck unfinished line art]] of Linkara and Freddy Krueger, parodying how this comic was CutShort following the company's bankruptcy. |
| 559 | * Linkara's comments on the bad artwork. |
| 560 | * He points out how Freddy's sweater was worn since childhood and how even his father wore a similar sweater. |
| 561 | * After finishing the second issue, Linkara [[AntiClimax anti-climactically]] says that the mini-series is over.[[note]]While partially due to Innovation going bankrupt, Issue #2's ending is meant to lead into the first movie, [[ExactWords meaning "The Beginning" is over]].[[/note]] |
| 562 | [[/folder]] |
| 563 | |
| 564 | [[folder:471: A Nightmare on Elm Street: Fearbook]] |
| 565 | * The title card is a finished version of the last episode's title card, only it's over-detailed with tons of cross-hatching lines, meant to be a TakeThat to the art of Creator/AvatarPress. |
| 566 | [[/folder]] |
| 567 | |
| 568 | [[folder:472: New Line Cinema's Tales of Horror #1]] |
| 569 | * The title card is yet another variant of the line art from ''The Beginning'', with Linkara, Thing-Tucker, and Freddy looking in horror at a looming [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]]. |
| 570 | * When Freddy reveals to Otis that the latter's files on his computer were wiped and his commands cancelled... |
| 571 | -->'''Linkara (as Freddy):''' Also, your Internet search history... WOW, dude. I mean, I'm ME, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even I think you're messed up]]. |
| 572 | * Linkara's face when he learns the prize for the Contest of Champions this time is nothing less than the Infinity Gauntlet is a work of art in terms of his incredulity. Made even funnier as Jaeris merely reacts with DullSurprise. |
| 573 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''The friggin' Infinity Gauntlet?!'' D-w-why would god-like beings hand over prizes like this?!\ |
| 574 | '''Jaeris:''' 'Cause they can. |
| 575 | [[/folder]] |
| 576 | |
| 577 | [[folder:473: The Sensational Spider-Man #0]] |
| 578 | * The title card, [[CallBack continuing the theme]] from the ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' title-cards, has Spider-Man kicking [[Franchise/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] out, with Linkara, Thing-Tucker, and Freddy looking on incredulously. |
| 579 | * "Superman — The Man of Stable Employment!" |
| 580 | * "Fashion department? That's IT!" |
| 581 | -->'''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries Dimitri]]''': Arson! |
| 582 | * Right after Linkara shows off the '''omnibuses''' for the Clone Saga and [[ExplainExplainOhCrap pointing out that he's far from being finished with it, he only has one thing to say]]. |
| 583 | -->'''Linkara''': By the way, people have asked me a few times if we're getting close to the end of the Clone Saga. And boy, does that ever tell me how much they don't know anything about the Clone Saga. ''[lifts '''twelve''' thick comic book collections with a strained voice]'' This right here? This is the Clone Saga in its entirety. We've actually skipped around quite a bit, and eventually, we're gonna go ''back'' to earlier stories. Not to mention, there's the ''original'' Clone Saga from the 70's, the ''Real Clone Saga'' miniseries, Kane's Scarlet Spider series, the clone conspiracy stuff leading to Ben Reilly's resurrection, not to mention the Ultimate Clone Saga... ''[smiling]'' Basically, I'm ''never'' gonna be finished with the Clone Saga. ({{Beat}}, OhCrap face)... DAMMIT! |
| 584 | [[/folder]] |
| 585 | |
| 586 | [[folder:474: Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash]] |
| 587 | * The title-card, [[RuleOfThree once again]], features Linkara, Thing-Tucker, and Freddy [[CallBack in the same pose as they have been in for the previous title-cards]], [[SeenItAll but they're looking absolutely done with their situation]], even when Spider-Man possesses [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason's mask and machete]] and [[Franchise/EvilDead Thing-Tucker has a chainsaw over his hand instead of a stylus]]. |
| 588 | * One of Ash's narrative captions reveals his GlobalIgnorance, referring to "the Romans and their pyramids". Cue a rant from Linkara about "[[RunningGag ANCIENT]] [[SubvertedCatchphrase ROME]]!" |
| 589 | * In the story segment, while Linkara is on the lookout for Freddy Krueger, he bursts into a room ready to face him... only to find Moarte in the middle of a review on his own show! |
| 590 | -->''[[[{{Beat}} Long beat]]]''\ |
| 591 | '''Moarte''': [[GetOut You can go now]].\ |
| 592 | '''Linkara''': Sorry...\ |
| 593 | ''[Linkara leaves]''\ |
| 594 | '''Moarte''': Idiot.\ |
| 595 | '''Linkara''': Dumbass. |
| 596 | ** This moment is even better if you watch the corresponding ''Longbox'' episode first; seeing Linkara enter the room without any context why somehow makes it funnier. |
| 597 | * The fact that Freddy says "Ow" in a monotone voice every time Jason Voorhees hurts him. [[OverlyLongGag Which happens a lot]]. |
| 598 | ** Obvious dummy Freddy getting brutalized makes it funnier just as much as it takes you out of it. |
| 599 | [[/folder]] |
| 600 | |
| 601 | [[folder:475: Marvel Comics #1 (Namor)]] |
| 602 | * Linkara pointing out because of vacation and a Patreon request, this year's "Secret Origins Month" would be more like "Secret Origins Two-Disconnected-Weeks". |
| 603 | * As the cover has nothing to do with Namor, Linkara has little to say about it, other than noting that "the Human Torch clearly just wants a hug." |
| 604 | * "We begin with the Sub-Mariner opening up the long-lost Bill Everett treasure chest." |
| 605 | * Regarding the divers speaking "by telephone": |
| 606 | -->'''Linkara''': Hang on, Steve, lemme just turn on the oxygen app on my phone. |
| 607 | * Namor encountering the divers: |
| 608 | -->'''Namor''': Those robots...they can't be ''men!''\ |
| 609 | '''Linkara''': ''(as Namor)'' Only ''women'' can look that good in diving suits! |
| 610 | * As Namor's mom explains their grievances with the surface world: |
| 611 | -->'''Fen''': The white earth-men were blasting us out of existence with their infernal "scientific investigations"...\ |
| 612 | '''Linkara''': [[TakeThat The history of the world in a nutshell, really.]] |
| 613 | * "And so Namor dives into the ocean again - on his way to further adventures in his crusade against white men!" |
| 614 | -->'''Linkara''': Unfortunately, awkwardness ensues when he accidentally resurfaces in Guyana. |
| 615 | [[/folder]] |
| 616 | |
| 617 | [[folder:476: Brave and the Bold #26 (The Justice League)]] |
| 618 | * Linkara gets back home from his vacation, complete with a Hawaiian shirt, party glasses, a bottle of alcohol... and a wedding ring. [[NoodleIncident And he was too drunk to remember who he got married to]]. [[note]]In real life, Lewis got married to Viga during his week off.[[/note]] |
| 619 | * Snowflame returns with a fire safety tip. |
| 620 | * Linkara on Starro the Conqueror: |
| 621 | --> "[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Alolan Staryu]] is weird." |
| 622 | * When Batman mentions he's too busy dealing with two archenemies of his joining forces, Linkara decides to combine two RunningGags related to the Caped Crusader for the price of one: |
| 623 | -->'''Linkara (as Batman):''' One-Face has finally teamed up with rock 'n' roll to form a deadly combination! |
| 624 | [[/folder]] |
| 625 | |
| 626 | [[folder:477: PATREON: Kamen Rider Fourze Ep. 1-4]] |
| 627 | * When some type of invisible force begins knocking them around. |
| 628 | -->'''Linkara''': [[Film/ThorRagnarok Piss off, Ghost!]] |
| 629 | ** Accidentally, this joke works in two ways, as few years after ''Fourze'', there was a ''Series/KamenRiderGhost''. |
| 630 | * Linkara making jokes, such as the [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Burger Morpher]] or how one character's introduction is like a scene from ''Film/MeanGirls'', before realizing that [[IWasJustJoking his jokes keep actually happening in the show]], like the burger transforming into a little robot. |
| 631 | * Linkara's continued accidental mispronunciation of "Powerdizer" as "Powderizer". |
| 632 | * Saying people should be making friends with the protagonist quickly since the PowerOfFriendship tends to make people become Gods, [[Series/KamenRiderGaim he's a couple years off though]]. |
| 633 | [[/folder]] |
| 634 | |
| 635 | [[folder:478: Clive Barker's Hellraiser Dark Holiday Special]] |
| 636 | * The title card, with a terrified child Linkara sitting on the lap of a MallSanta [[ItMakesSenseInContext Pinhead]]. |

| 638 | -->'''Linkara (as Atkins):''' Demons to some, angels to others, ''KILLING MACHINE TO EVERYBODY''! |
| 639 | [[/folder]] |
| 640 | |
| 641 | [[folder:479: Sensation Comics #14: The Story of Fir Balsam]] |
| 642 | * Linkara pointing out the various instances of ValuesDissonance throughout the comic. |
| 643 | ** For instance, this suggestive comment Wonder Woman makes while [[ItMakesSenseInContext barricading a door]]: |
| 644 | --->'''Wonder Woman''': Ouch! Stop spanking me - I'll be good! |
| 645 | --->'''Linkara''': Merry Christmas, everybody! |
| 646 | [[/folder]] |
| 647 | |
| 648 | [[folder:480: Steam Wars Holiday Special]] |
| 649 | * The title card, with Hansel Lowe and Smokey looking in confusion at Linkara, who's dressed in Harvey Korman's crossdressing chef costume. |
| 650 | * Linkara [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial downplaying the Holiday Special's infamy and coverage]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS2E51 among fellow internet reviewers]], even mentioning [[Funny/TheCinemaSnob2017Episodes the Snob's review of the commercials from the Holiday Special.]] |
| 651 | * Linkara talking about how [[CallBack Bear once played a game of chess against Snowflame... and won]]. |
| 652 | * As Hansel calls out troop movements in clock position, Linkara lets out a well-timed exclamation: |
| 653 | ---> '''Linkara''': What time is it?! |
| 654 | [[/folder]] |
| 655 | |
| 656 | [[folder:481: Christmas with the Superheroes #2]] |
| 657 | * At the start of the video, Linkara says that, since the comic is long, the viewers can all start commenting on how they like the Christmas theme song better than the real one. |
| 658 | * Linkara notes how creepy the elves look on the cover, and how aged some of the heroes look. It's also acknowledged on the episode's title card, which turned the elves' creepiness up to eleven. |
| 659 | * "Superman! Your own personal space heater!" |
