16'''Tropes:'''
17* ActionizedAdaptation: Devil Boner's favorite Cinderella movie is [[spoiler: ''Ever After'']] because of its increased levels of action.
18* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In addition to Hyper Fangirl, Benny's list of "People Who Dun Fucked Up" also includes UsefulNotes/FidelCastro, [[UsefulNotes/NorthKorea Kim Jong-Un]] and the cast of ''Series/{{Friends}}''.
19* CallBack: After the Critic intimidates Hyper Fangirl into giving the win for the best WickedStepmother to the animated version by showing her a shot of her signature DeathGlare, the Fangirl retaliates by showing the Critic a shot of Creator/DonBluth's [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E23 death]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS8E24 glare]].
20** The Critic also recalls his "Old vs. New" video on ''Willy Wonka'', stating that Cinderella is better in the 1950 film is better for similar reasons as Charlie in both films. The newer one is too flawless and optimistic in their personality for anyone to relate to them, while the original's vulnerability makes them more sympathetic because they act more like real people.
21* CurbStompBattle: The debate about the prince, with the critic almost immediately admitting that he cannot think of any reason as to why the bland prince with little screentime or dialogue in the original is better than the charming, sympathetic one with a much more screentime and chemistry in the remake
22* CockFight: Between Benny and Devil Boner.
23* DudeNotFunny: Due to the recent death of the musician Music/{{Prince}}, Hyper calls out the Critic when he says "Sometimes, a prince leaves no impact on you whatsoever" and later when he says that the one thing the animated prince has that the live-action one lacks is "a shit ton of eyeliner".
24-->'''Hyper:''' Dude! Too soon!
25* GreenEyedMonster: Benny is... not happy that Hyper Fangirl is hanging out with Devil Boner.
26* SickeninglySweethearts: Devil Boner and Hyper Fangirl are overly affectionate towards each other and call each other cutesy names, much to the Critic's chagrin.
27* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler:For the first time ever, an "Old vs. New" entry results in a tie, so the Critic asks Benny and Devil Boner which version of ''Cinderella'' they think is better. Neither, they decide; the best version is ''Film/EverAfter'', which the Critic agrees with and thus gives the win to that movie instead.]]
28-->'''Critic:''' Because it's my show, and I can do whatever the goddamn hell I want!
29* TheWoobie: In-universe: Hyper calls Devil Boner one after he gives her a Jamaican Ratsa hat as a souvenir from Jamaica.
