23	!!Tropes:
24
25	* ActorAllusion:
26	** Tamara dresses up as a pirate, referring to Dante Basco as Ruffio in ''{{Film/Hook}}'' Dante later quotes Ruffio by calling the critic a "stupid man".
27	** She also dresses as Huntsgirl from ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong''. Dante played Jake. [[spoiler: He also decides to dress as him at the end of the episode. ...Right when Tamara manages to dress up as Toph.]]
28	* ArsonMurderAndAdmiration: What was the ending of "[[WhamEpisode The Crossroads of Destiny]]" like?
29	-->'''Critic:''' It was cruel. It was sick. It was ''freakin' awesome!''
30	* TheCameo: Jason Laws from the WesternAnimation/AdventureTime vlogs appears as a Barnes and Noble customer.
31	* EvilIsCool: In-universe. The Critic can't help but love [[TheDragon Princess Azula]], despite how evil she is.
32	* FrameBreak: Dante punches the Critic out of the video player and down into the comments section below.
33	-->'''Dante:''' [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Your fourth wall jokes won't save you!]]
34	* InLoveWithYourCarnage:
35	-->'''Long Feng:''' You've beaten me at my own game.\
36	'''Azula:''' Don't flatter yourself -- you were never even a player.\
37	'''Critic:''' (''low key'') [[MagnificentBastard Damn, what a bitch... she's so freakin' awesome]].
38	* MagnificentBastard: In-universe, the Critic praises Azula as being one, particularly for her [[HeroKiller terrifying yet awe-inspiring work]] in "[[WhamEpisode The Crossroads]] [[TheBadGuyWins of Destiny]]".
39	* NinjaProp: Gleefully abused. To begin with, Dante as Zuko [[FrameBreak punches down the Critic out of the video player]] and into the Website/YouTube comments section below. The Nostalgia Critic fights back by grabbing negative comments and throwing them at the firebender, in a {{literal\|Metaphor}} FlameWar. And when low on ammunition, he yells "Creator/JossWhedon is overrated!" to make more appears. Then Dante seizes one to throw back at the Critic, who warns him that he's about to hit the yellow advertising line of the video. Of course, the Critic takes advantage of the commercial break to get away. Finally, still on the [=YouTube=] webpage, the Critic hides [[StandInPortrait in front of his own image on the picture]] for his ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS6E15 review]].
40	* OhCrap: Critic has one when he accidentally mistakes Dante for Dev Patel.
41	* ProductPlacement: "[[Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch The Search]]" is read by Dante Basco in the book store, and both he and Critic promote it in answer to Zuko's question [[MissingMom about his mom]] when discussing #1.
42	* {{Pun}}:
43	** The ''flame'' war. Fought with two different kinds of flames.
44	** And Jason's reaction after his book on picking up women in a taxi is destroyed.
45	--->'''My cab bitches!'''
46	* RunningGag: The Critic freaking out and repeatedly yelling at the characters, "You're not supposed to do that!" whenever they do something extremely scary or shocking (Sokka falling for Azula's "favorite prisoner" speech, Katara bloodbending the Southern Raider, Zuko subverting his HeelFaceTurn, and Aang getting shot by Azula's lightning).
47	** Also, Tamara's inability to get an Avatar costume, getting ones that reference some of Dante Basco's other roles instead. She finally gets it right at the end (dressing as Toph)...except at that point, Dante has switched roles from Zuko to [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong Jake Long.]]
48	---> '''Tamara:''' Oh FUCK YOU, Dante Basco!
49	* ShoutOut:
50	** ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', with the exact opposite sentiment to the [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights last]] [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee time]] that was referenced.
51	--->'''Critic:''' The needs of me outweigh the needs of you.
52	** The metalbending book is by [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Bender]].
53	* StandInPortrait: While fleeing from Dante within Website/YouTube comments, the Critic hides in front of his own image on the picture for his ''Film/TheLastAirbender'' [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS6E15 review]].
