If the word "Hate" was emblazoned on each nano-Angstrom, it would not equal one BILLIONTH of the hate I feel for you! Hate! Hate! HAAA-*end credits*" |

4 | * The "Lecture Alarm", explained that he got it from the same guys who made [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]'s Continuity Alarm. He ends up breaking it during ''Film/{{Gerry}}''. |

12 | * In his review of ''Trash Humpers'' he says he's expecting one of them to start a 90-minute ''Franchise/StarWars'' review. [[WebVideo/MisterPlinkettReviews "Oh my god!

16 | * His ''Melancholia'' review pulls a lot of lines from ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' due to the TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt connection between the two works, and Oan's final speech is backed by Joey Talbot's rousing cover of [[RealSongThemeTune "Journey of the Sorcerer"]] from the film. |

20 | ** Upon seeing the "hyena" up in a tree: [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Paul, you is a wurwilf!"]] |
21 | * The ''{{Film/Shame}}'' review opens up with a homage to ''Film/TheGreatEscape'', since both were made by Creator/SteveMcQueenDirector. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, as Kyle finds out, it's not ''the same'' Creator/SteveMcQueenActor]]. |
