| 3 | ''Please add entries in the following format:'' |
| 4 | * The meme. [=[[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]] |
| 5 | ---- |
| 6 | * '''"[[Film/BatmanAndRobin A BAT]] [[BerserkButton CREDIT CARD!?!?]]"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the review of ''Film/BatmanAndRobin'', the Critic has an ''epic'' meltdown due to the absurdity of the item's existence that it became known as his most defining moment and best joke and many BerserkButton in general could be referred as 'Bat Credit Card'. Became RunningGagged (and is on the way to being a DiscreditedMeme) after Linkara rationally points out [[FridgeBrilliance how it could make sense in context of Batman-verse and not the most ridiculous moment of the movie]], with the Critic unable to refute.[[/labelnote]] |
| 7 | * "This is JumpingTheShark, coming back, shooting [[GroinAttack it in the balls]], [[BestialityIsDepraved RAPING IT]], [[SerialEscalation EATING ITS FLESH, CONSUMING ITS SOUL]], ''[[OffWithHisHead MOUNTING ITS HEAD ON THE]]'' '''[[OffWithHisHead WALL]]''', '''''AND THEN DOING THE SAME THING TO TWELVE MORE FUCKING SHARKS JUST TO BE SAFE!!!''''' " [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Critic's enraged reaction to the Rockbiter from ''Film/TheNeverendingStoryIIIEscapeFromFantasia'' [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment unexpectedly bursting into a rendition]] of Music/{{Steppenwolf}}'s "Born to Be Wild" during his complaint about how the characters from the original story have been butchered.[[/labelnote]] |
| 8 | * "Drat! I've been foiled by the power of love!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Critic's impression of the villain whenever the heroes use ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat them.[[/labelnote]] |
| 9 | * [[Film/FreeWilly The devilish popcorn-eating security guard]]. |
| 10 | * [[Film/{{Airborne}} The boy with the nose brace]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a montage of school students introducing themselves to Mitchell, a boy with a nose brace appears in the middle looking stunned and saying nothing. The Critic sticks him in the middle of scenes to mirror the movie.[[/labelnote]] |
| 11 | * "[[Film/Godzilla1998 That's a lot of fish.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/MatthewBroderick's character's reaction to the amount of fish that was being piled up in order to lure Godzilla into the government's trap. This was brought to attention after the Critic took two minutes to try and understand whether the comment was supposed to be a joke or not.[[/labelnote]] |
| 12 | * "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." [[labelnote:Explanation]]MemeticBadass Lucas from ''Film/TheWizard'' uses the Nintendo Power Glove to show off to the kids, which makes the Critic {{faint|ing}}.[[/labelnote]] |
| 13 | ** And, "[[AdorablyPrecociousChild Calif]][[ElmerFuddSyndrome ornia]]." |
| 14 | * "[[WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark I'm a baaaad troll]]. A very baaaad troll." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The little tune (to the tune of "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_the_Volga_Boatmen The Song of the Volga Boatmen]]") that a troll sings to himself as he goes on his way. The Critic snaps that the scriptwriter was [[WhoWritesThisCrap probably too lazy]] and asked their five-year-old child to write the movie. He was probably the catalyst of making this meme a thing.[[/labelnote]] |
| 15 | * "[[Film/TheLangoliers SCARING THE LITTLE]] '''''GIIIIIRRRRRRLLLL??!!'''''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mr Toomey's [[ChewingTheScenery overreaction]] to a passenger telling him to calm down in case he's scaring Dinah the blind girl.[[/labelnote]] |
| 16 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}},'' '''''WOOHOOO!!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the Top 11 Catchiest Theme Songs, the Critic put the theme tune to ''[=DuckTales=]'' as his #1 choice. You could call it the JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} of the show, as well as the theme to ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''.[[/labelnote]] |
| 17 | ** "It will never leave! [[EarWorm IT WILL NEVER LEAVE]]!!" |
| 18 | ** ''[[Film/HowardTheDuck DuckTits]], '''''WOOHOO!!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A FreezeFrameBonus shows a female duck in the bath with her human-like breasts exposed above the CensorSuds. The Critic freaks out, asking who would write that in (and flashes a photo of Creator/GeorgeLucas), and questions whether he should [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere stop the episode]], stating that [[TheCameo cameos]] from Franchise/CareBears, [[Franchise/StarWars Jar Jar Binks]] and [[Series/HappyDays The Fonz]] wouldn't top it.[[/labelnote]] |

| 22 | * "[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 ZUUL]], MOTHERFUCKER, '''''ZUUL'''''!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mostly when rabid black dogs attacked the heroes of WesternAnimation/ThePagemaster. Later applied to ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', ''Film/AloneInTheDark2005'', and ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'' among other things.[[/labelnote]] |
| 23 | * '''"OF COURSE!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]But wouldn't you say his most well known one comes from a certain [[Film/StreetFighter mad general]] talking about his desire to TakeOverTheWorld? Like with the Bat Credit Card, this eventually got RunningGagged in the series due to overuse, but it was briefly brought back as a gag in itself in the ''Freakazoid'' episode.[[/labelnote]] |
| 24 | * "Ride the pony." |
| 25 | * "TASTE THE RAINBOW, MUTHAFUCKA!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Critic's BattleCry during the Franchise/{{Care Bear|s}} [[CareBearStare Stare]]. Often also associated with ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', due to many a BigBad being defeated by a rainbow ([[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials Tirek]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 the Smooze]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Tirek again]]).[[/labelnote]] |
| 26 | * [[Film/TheCell ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS!]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic ASK ME WHAT IT MEANS! WOO-HOO!]] |
| 27 | * For whatever reason, "50 Impressions in 50 Seconds" gets a lot of use in YouTubePoop. |

| 31 | ** '''BOOMER ''WILL''''' ... OOOOH... Ummm... We'll getchya another Boomer." [[labelnote:Explanation]]This refers to a scene in ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' in which there was hope in that a dog in a family's back garden would have a happy ending, but the T-Rex ate him alive.[[/labelnote]] |
| 32 | * The {{squee}} moment from ''Film/{{Alaska}}'' is often used as a fangirling .GIF on Website/{{tumblr}}. |
| 33 | * "IT'S NOT POPTARTS!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A commercial for Poptarts has the slogan "So hot, they're cool -- so cool, they're hot!", making the Critic snap that it's like an IceCreamKoan. The quote is an angry response from a Buddhist monk.[[/labelnote]] |
| 34 | * [[ExecutiveMeddling "But the chart says..."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Executives from ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' appear to tell the Critic off for commenting on the occasional rhyme scheme and refer to the pie chart that they created in a meeting.[[/labelnote]] |

[[/labelnote]] |
| 38 | * '''"[[CatScare CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT]]!"'''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A jump scare involving a cat during his ''Film/EndOfDays'' review commences a freak out between him and the cast of ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''. [[/labelnote]] |

| 42 | * "I love whores." [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' review, which he opens by talking about his love of whores, before specifying that he meant media whores, not people who sell their bodies.[[/labelnote]] |

[[labelnote:Explanation]]From his Angry Video Game Critic video on Bebe’s Kids, a video made as a response to the [=Angry Video Game Nerd=] during their [[FriendlyRivalry “feud”]], the Critic says that line towards the Nerd as an insult, which has become a running gag in many Nostalgia Critic-esque [[YouTubePoop YouTube Poops]] in recent years, [[InsultBackfire often used to insult the Critic himself]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 45 | * "Hey, Critic. Leave Music/TheWall Alone!" [[labelnote:Explination]] A common response fans of Music/PinkFloyd had towards Nostalgic Critic’s The Wall album, which served as an “''[[ShallowParody affectionate parody]]''” that poorly [[TakeThat mocked the original album, the movie adaptation and its fans more or less]]. This quote especially became popular after WebVideo/TheNeedleDrop reviewed the album and sung those very words while singing to "Another Brick In the Wall, Pt. 2". [[/labelnote]] |
| 46 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBc6y4XG28s Doug Walker crying on the computer]][[labelnote:Explanation]] During the [[ShallowParody "review"]] of the film, the mid-review advertisement involved Doug making several comical overreactions to the Honey web extension. It wound up being the most memeable part of the review, with many dubbing music and/or sound effects.
