6
7!This review contains examples of:
8* AbortedArc: The Critic calls out a subplot involving a Scottish Highlander "cursed" to look like a doll, which ultimately goes nowhere.
9* AlcoholInducedStupidity: Malcolm and Tamara, drunk off The Critic's Jäger planet, crash a rocket into the sun.
10* CallBack:
11** In the tradition of [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS2E13 his two]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS4E20 previous animated]] ''Titanic'' movie reviews, the Critic claims he genuinely sees the movie as really bad, as well as preparing a huge bottle of Jägermeister.
12** The "Fucking Bubbles!" line from the "[[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS4E8 Return of the Nostalgic Commercials]]" episode is played at the scene where Don Juan, Elizabeth and their pets are applied with air-sustaining bubbles by the Atlanteans.
13* TheCameo: WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, Cricket Leigh (Mai from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''), Creator/DanteBasco and WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob appear as the Critic's "guest actors" whom he kidnapped for what was supposed to be an acted-out review of ''Niagara'' (Creator/MarilynMonroe's breakout film).
14* CurseCutShort: The Nerd lets out a big long "FUCK!" when he realizes the Critic has accidentally locked him, Cricket, Dante and the Snob again at the end of the review, which is immediately cut off by the closing credits.
15* FlippingTheBird: The Critic briefly lets out the middle finger to the Fanworld crowd after he is finally coerced into reviewing ''In Search of the Titanic''.
16* FormulaBreakingEpisode: Parts of the review were filmed during the ''Nostalgia Critic'' crew's trip to the 2016 Fanworld convention at Niagara Falls, New York.
17* INeedAFreakingDrink: The Critic summons a planet-sized bottle of Jägermeister to help him drink off the misery of having to sit through the film. By the end of the first half, however, Tamara and Malcolm end up drinking it down.
18* MarketBasedTitle: The Critic relates how the film's title was changed from the original Italian "Tentacolino" to "In Search of the Titanic" for the English release.[[invoked]]
19* MondegreenGag: Razor Teeth's VillainSong has the seashells singing the chorus "Oh, you, you, there's no one meaner than you." However, their response was so garbled the Critic mishears them.
20-->"Oh [[Creator/HughGrant Hugh (Grant)]], [[Creator/HughJackman Hugh (Jackman)]],\
21there's no whacking out of you.\
22Oh, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mew, Mew]],\
23There's no walking on the Moon!
24* MyGodYouAreSerious: The Critic's reaction to the Fanworld crowd coercing him into reviewing the film.
25* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer:
26** Just like his two previous ''Titanic'' cartoon reviews, the Critic begins this one with claiming that he truly sees ''In Search of the Titanic'' as the worst of the lot.
27** When Pingo's song suddenly switches to rave music, the entire scene is subtitled "THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!".
28* ShoutOut:
29** Don Juan and Elizabeth's search for the ''UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic'' is compared to finding UsefulNotes/AmeliaEarhart after watching ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'''s "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E1The37s The 37's]]" episode.
30** The Critic jokes that Don Juan, Elizabeth and their companions will see stranger things on their yellow submarine than Music/TheBeatles [[WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine did]].
31** Malcolm and Tamara, drunken off a planet-sized Jägermeister, sing "[[Music/{{Fun}} We Are Young]]" as they rocket off into the Sun.
32** For every confusing scene the Critic has given up on trying to explain, a clip of Creator/MattDamon's exasperated "Okay" line from ''Film/TheDeparted'' is shown.
33* SustainedMisunderstanding: The Critic deliberately mishears the crowd's requests for him to review ''In Search of the Titanic'' (which he once claimed he will never review back in 2012) with ''Niagara''.
34* TakeThat:
35** The Critic states that the subplot with the rats makes so little sense he compares it to Brexit.
36** Some mice speaking in horribly stereotypical Chinese accents have been compared to Creator/MickeyRooney's most infamous role as the blatantly {{Yellowface}} character [[Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys Mr. Yunioshi]], calling them "WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Rooney".
37* ThisIsGonnaSuck: The Critic's reaction to the Atlantis folk coming to Don Juan, Elizabeth and their friends' rescue.
38* WorstWhateverEver: The Critic condemns the film as the worst of the three animated ''Titanic'' movies.
