6
7	!We remembered these tropes so you don't have to:
8	* ActorAllusion: Five InUniverse cases:
9	** When Ranger Jones attempts to mobilize all of Jellystone's rangers in preparation for Mayor Brown's arrival, only for Ranger Smith to remind him that they're the only ones in the park, the Critic dubs a line of InnerMonologue into the latter, wishing Jones's actor Creator/TJMiller gets mocked for this role come [[Film/Deadpool2 the next]] ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' film (where Miller plays Weasel).
10	** When Yogi tries to justify to Ranger Smith his habit of stealing picnic baskets, the Critic again dubs a line of InnerMonologue over the latter ruing having skipped a season of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' (where his actor Creator/TomCavanagh plays Harrison Wells) in favor of this film.
11	** Seeing Ranger Smith helplessly watching Yogi and Booboo ruin his date with Rachel, the Critic wishes he was actually Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash (also played by Cavanagh, having killed the real Wells and stole his identity) so he can kill Yogi, while showing a clip of Thawne killing Cisco Ramon (with Yogi's head superimposed over his).
12	** When Ranger Jones is convinced by Mayor Brown to betray Ranger Smith, the Critic refers to the former as the ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' stoner (as Fred).
13	** At the very end of the film, as Rachel (Creator/AnnaFaris) joins Ranger Smith in chasing after Yogi and Booboo, the Critic adds lines of InnerMonologue over her claiming she'd rather do five ''Film/ScaryMovie'' sequels than this.
14	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Critic states that Rachel's reason for why she hangs out with animals is the "movie's one funny line".
15	* AndYourLittleDogToo: At the end of the film, as Yogi and Booboo steal three picnic tables with the family dog still atop one of them, the Critic dubs into Yogi that they're also going to eat the dog.
16	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[InUniverse The Critic]] is confused over film's ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' ShoutOut when Yogi express thrill over stealing donuts. This is immediately followed by a parody, showing Tamara claiming she wants ice cream, which then transitions into a ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' shout-out featuring the infamous "LukeIAmYourFather" scene.
17	* BondOneLiner: Critic turns "[[WhatTheHellHero How smart are you now?]]" into this by making it look like Ranger Smith was holding a gun offscreen, shooting Yogi.
18	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Seeing Malcolm and Tamara apparently fall into SanitySlippage, the Critic ends the first half of the review wondering what the episode is doing to everyone.
19	* BrickJoke: Early in the review the Critic notes the boom mic hanging over Rachel that was accidentally caught on film. Later, when Ranger Smith ends up leaving a microphone open while acting like a dork to Rachel, the Critic feigns relief that at least the boom mic wasn't also caught on tape.
20	* CriminalDoppelganger: Hearing the narration by Josh Robert Thompson sounding a lot like Creator/MorganFreeman's, Malcolm calls his agent claiming someone stole his Freeman voice, much to the Critic's concern over his sanity, especially since it soon reveals that Malcolm is just harassing some random guy and refuses to stop doing so.
21	* DamnedByFaintPraise: Seeing the dull humor of the film, the Critic claims he's having some newfound respect for ''WesternAnimation/YoYogi'' (a retooling of the quintessentially '60s cartoon for TheNineties that bombed so hard no new ''Yogi Bear'' material came out until this film).
22	* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: [[invoked]] In contrast to Creator/DanAykroyd as Yogi Bear, the Critic thinks Music/JustinTimberlake does a remarkably good impersonation of Booboo, even calling him "the Creator/DanielDayLewis of Booboos".
23	* InnerMonologue: Seeing Creator/TomCavanagh's unenthusiastic performance as Ranger Smith, the Critic dubs into him his inner thoughts of disgust over being cast in this film.
24	* ItAmusedMe: Malcolm's excuse for shooting at the Critic at the opening sketch.
25	* LogoJoke: The Critic pokes fun of the Creator/WarnerBros logo being designed to look like wood, in an attempt to hammer in the film's setting in a forest.
26	* MaliciousMisnaming: The InnerMonologue the Critic puts into Ranger Smith has the latter comparing Yogi Bear to a "Bigfoot [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Jar Jar Binks]]", a "six-foot [[Literature/WinnieThePooh Winnie the Shit]]", and [[Series/TheHoneymooners Ed Norton]] covered in Franchise/{{Paddington}}'s public hair.
27	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: The Critic assures the audience that such a thing as ''Yo Yogi!'' existed.
28	* NotQuiteDead: After the Critic is "killed" by Malcolm at the end of the opening sketch then turned to a bear rug, he wakes up from his daze after Malcolm throws the Blu-ray box of ''Yogi Bear'' at him, urging him to review it. When the Critic asks Malcolm why he shot him, the latter said [[ItAmusedMe he's just in the mood]] before shooting at him again.
29	* TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou: The Critic claims to have a weirdly soft spot for Creator/TomCavanagh as Ranger Smith, if only because his unenthusiastic acting seems to betray how he wants to get out of this film.
30	* RunningGag: The Critic dubbing in lines of InnerMonologue over Ranger Smith expressing his annoyance over the entire film.
31	* SarcasmMode: The Critic snarks that ''Yogi Bear'' was so timeless he remembers a time when people rioted over the cancellation of ''Yo Yogi!''.
32	* SavingTheOrphanage: The Critic is not too enthusiastic over the plot of the film being Yogi and Smith having to save Jellystone from being shut down to open the land for logging.
33	* ShoutOut:
34	** The opening sketch, where Malcolm "kills" the Critic after making him look at a Blu-ray box of ''Yogi Bear'', then turns him into a bear rug, is a direct nod to the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6w0r-ScEG4 Booboo Kills Yogi]]" fan-made parody ending to said film, itself a shout-out to ''Film/TheAssassinationOfJesseJamesByTheCowardRobertFord''.
35	** When Yogi explains how his mind works to Booboo, the Critic compares it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzpxHrQcwFk to Aykroyd's BUILD Series interview]] about having seen [=UFOs=].
36	** Rachel trying to greet Yogi and Booboo by imitating a bear's snarl has a shocked Critic thinking she's drunken off [[Film/TheExorcist Pazuzu's beer]].
37	** After Smith tells off Yogi and Booboo for ruining his date with Rachel, seeing that the deep-blue hue of the nighttime forest, the Critic dubs into him lines that he's retreating into the forest garnished by slaughtered [[WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs Smurfs]].
38	** The Critic compares Mayor Brown's chief-of-staff to a hybrid of Creator/ShiaLaBeouf and Series/MrBean.
39	** When Yogi's water-skiing antics accidentally sets alight the fireworks Ranger Smith and Rachel prepared for Jellystone's centennial party, sending them hurtling towards the audience, the Critic adds a clip of [[Film/MaryPoppins Admiral Boom launching fireworks from a cannon]].
40	** When Yogi expresses regret accidentally ruining Smith's attempts to keep Jellystone open, the Critic dubs into him lines asking Booboo to get his gun, presumably to kill himself and add himself to Creator/NicolasCage's wardrobe (while showing a clip of Cage's bear-suit scene from ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'').
41	** After Yogi and Booboo steal a picnic basket containing the latter's endangered pet turtle, the Critic imitates Mayor Brown screaming "[[Film/TheCountryBears This is not over, bears!]]"
42	* SoOkayItsAverage: [[InUniverse The Critic's]] final opinion on the film.
43	* StockScream: The Critic ridicules how the Wilhelm Scream over Yogi getting hit in the face with a pine cone doesn't match his appearance.
44	* TakeThat:
45	** The Critic compares Yogi Bear in this movie as the ''Film/{{Prometheus}}''-type hybrid of [[Film/{{Garfield}} CGI Garfield]].
46	** When the scene of Yogi stealing a picnic basket transitions to slow-mo, the Critic dubs into him lines about how he broke [[Film/TheMatrix the Matrix]], and how he is as conspicuously green-screened as Creator/KeanuReeves.
47	** Seeing Miller's above-average performance as Ranger Jones, the Critic dubs into him lines about how he'll never get to be like Creator/JasonLee (of ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' infamy).
48	** Aykroyd's performance as Yogi Bear is compared to a poor man's WesternAnimation/RoverDangerfield.
49	** The Critic notes how most bad Creator/WarnerBros movies tend to use Music/JohnWilliams's famous ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'' theme to make it more interesting than they really are, putting up as examples this film, ''Film/KangarooJack'' and ''Film/SupermanReturns''.
50	** When Yogi and Booboo fly down a glider to save Booboo's endangered pet turtle, the Critic notes how a lot of what he considers bad movies use them, putting up posters from ''Film/TheBladeMaster'', ''Film/WildWildWest'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}''.
51	* TookALevelInDumbass: Malcolm and Tamara seem to get dumber just by the movie playing.
52	* TwoDecadesBehind: They criticize the movie for being released in 2010 but seeming like a cliched 90's film.
53	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: [[InUniverse The Critic]] is dismayed that Rachel is nothing more than the token female, made all the more painful by the fact that she is portrayed by Creator/AnnaFaris, one of Doug's favorite actresses.
54	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: The Critic wonders why Yogi Bear had to resort to outlandish contraptions to steal picnic baskets when he can simply maul the owners to death.
