12!!This review contains examples of:
13* LoopholeAbuse: Referenced and averted during the "Air Bud" section:
14--> '''Ref''': Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball.\
15'''Critic''': Oh, of course! It doesn't say in the book that I can't bring a dog in to play basketball. What was I thinking? And you wanna know what else? I'm pretty sure it doesn't say in there that I can't bring roller skating black bears in, either. Or how about professionally trained, tap-dancing oragutans? Or how about a giant, urinating elephant with one testicle who can sing the classical works of Andrew Lloyd Webber? Is ''that'' in the rule book, is it? IS IT? It ''is''? Holy shit, how amazingly specific.
16* MundaneMadeAwesome: To prove that ''anything'' can make you look like a hero with a montage set to a song, the Critic does one of him... getting up and getting ready in the morning... set to "Eye of the Tiger."
17* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: When discussing the villain in ''The Karate Kid'':
18--> '''Critic''': (as Kreese) Yes, yes, very clever, old man! The ball is in your court now. But, after the tournament is over, it is ''I'' who will possess the golden trophy, making me ''ruler'' of the dojos set next to the Walgreen's drug stores!
