| 7 | !!Tropes |
| 8 | * ClicheStorm: InUniverse, the Critic pokes fun of all TheNineties pop references in the film, even putting up a "9deez Slow Death Count" for each instance. |
| 9 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Tamara and Malcolm ask if they're not needed for the review. The Critic says he did have an idea where they try to get out of it, though he assumes rightly so that the moment he looks up, they're gone for the week, and he's right. |
| 10 | * SoOkayItsAverage: The Critic's final InUniverse opinion on the film, so much so he admits there's little to be angry about it. |
| 11 | * SpyFiction: The review begins with the Critic discussing the flourishing of this genre during the early 2000s, putting up such examples as ''Film/SpyKids'', ''Film/GForce'', ''Series/ISpy'', ''Film/AgentCodyBanks'', ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', ''Film/TheTuxedo'' and ''Film/JohnnyEnglish''. |
| 12 | * TakeThat: |
| 13 | ** After Francesca splashes soda at a bully in the film, a title card pops up reading "Kendall Jenner-Approved!" accompanied with a still from her rather controversial and near-universally panned Pepsi commercial that aired a few weeks before the episode aired.[[note]]To elaborate, the ad shows Jenner, a Caucasian ([[ButNotTooWhite albeit with a tiny bit of Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian ancestry]]), joining a rally of African Americans and giving bottles of Pepsi to police officers, a move critics accuse of misappropriating the "Black Lives Matter" protests against PoliceBrutality for commercial purposes.[[/note]] |
