6	----
7	!!He provides and discusses examples of:
8
9	* AccentuateTheNegative: In truth, he only seems to review movies he enjoys. Doesn't stop him riffing the crap out of it.
10	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In his review of ''Star Wars Episode II'', he remarks that Obi-Wan survives jumping out of a 1000-story window, taking a missile to the face, and seeing Anakin and Padme together.
11	* AuthorAppeal: In his Critical Review of ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'' he puts Lightning in an outfit that resembles that of [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright.]]
12	* BaitAndSwitch: In the review of the Fellowship of the Ring, he notes the similarities between the names of Aragorn and Arathorn. Then he says that if Gimli's father is called Gloin then it's pretty obvious what Gloin's father's name was: Gerald.
13	* BreakingTheReviewersWall: Quite a bit, talking to the characters, killing the characters...
14	* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Often times gets things thrown at him and almost gets shot by the James Bond opening.
15	* MoneyDearBoy: [[invoked]] His only rationale why ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderman'' exists (though he adds that he actually enjoyed the film and its' main problem was just that it was too similar to the Sam Raimi one).
16	%% [[NoFourthWall No Reviewer's Wall]]
17	* OncePerEpisode: Each of his Harry Potter movie reviews features one instance where he's about to finish a dick joke, only to be interrupted by Snape yelling "Silence!"
18	** Except for the first movie, because the clip of Snape is from the second movie.
19	** Used [[RuleOfThree three]] times in the second movie, because this is the movie where the clip is from. The third time, Suspect interrupts Snape, promising to be nice.
20	** For the third movie, Snape interrupts a poop joke instead.
21	* ProductPlacement: He points out all the product placement in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' and in a deleted scene in the review of the Amazing Spider-Man he notes the same (and ironically it's all Sony's product placement.)
22	* {{Retirony}}: He has made two separate jokes about this. First is in his ''Film/TheMatrix'' review, when Trinity throws a knife at a guard's head and it kills him, Suspect dubs over saying "Damn! Two day till retirement." The second one is in his ''Film/HomeAlone'' review, when the police officer fails to catch Kevin, Suspect says this is particularly embarrassing for the cop since he was only two days from retirement.
23	* RuleThirtyFour: He often edits scenes to make them a lot more dirty.
24	--> '''Suspect:''' Damn you, Mel Brooks, for giving me such a dirty mind!
25	* RunningGag:
26	** Snape yelling "Silence!" every time Suspect is about to finish a dick joke or about to say the punchline to a joke engaging in any kind of toilet humor.
27	** The "Shame" Bell.
28	** Suspect inserting himself in the films he reviews, either via green screen or by appearing in a in-universe screen such as in the ''Die Another Day'' review.
29	** As of the ''Star Wars Episode I'' review, Bob the drug dealer interrupting Suspect's review to offer him fictional drugs like the Death Sticks from ''Star Wars Episode II'' and the gold stars from Super Mario Bros games has become one.
30	** As of his ''Spider-Man 2'' video, superimposing Mr. Aziz's likeness over the footage.
31	*** "GOOO!"
32	* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Suspect imagines that one Sony executive uses this on another one to greenlight a reboot of ''Spider Man'' in his ''Amazing Spider Man'' review.
33	* ShoutOut: To Creator/JeremyJahns, with his quoting Jeremy's "It's a good time...if you're drunk" rating, to Mr. Plinkett in his ''Phantom Menace'' review where he plays the beginning of his ''Phantom Menace'' review in his review, Nostalgia Critic, obviously, Il Neige, [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when he calls him just to tell him he was stealing his "EXTREME!!!" yell set to a guitar in one of his ''Lord of the Rings'' reviews where a character does something, well, extreme, to ''Family Guy'', ''The Simpsons'', Jerry Springer, etc.
34	** In his ''Power Rangers'' theme song mashups, whatever movie/media he chose to mash with whatever season theme song he chose to go with it.
35	** Cinema Sings, whatever band he chose with the movie clips he used to cover the songs. Gets a few shout outs itself, such as when Billie Joe Armstrong tweeted about the "Basket Case" video.
36	* SignificantAnagram: In pointing out that [[Film/TheMatrix Neo]] is an anagram of One, he also points out that Justin Timberlake is an anagram for [[TakeThat i'm a Jerk but lisTen]]
37	%%* SirSwearsalot
38	* SpiritualSuccessor: To the Nostalgia Critic, as he uses the reviewing style & does a good mix of using reference clips from movies, or TV shows, & sketches/cutaway gags, while Doug seems to have shifted from one to the other completely after bringing back the critic, as well as not coming off as a complete asshole with the dark comedy, and has a good amount of analysis of the movies at the end, which Doug introduced in 2013 to the NC. In addition to that, Il Neige. Especially with Neige [[ScheduleSlip not having a review out for a while, and even then, it was a long time since the one before]], he seems to be filing the role quite well as a quirky non-Channel Awesome affiliated movie reviewer on [=YouTube=] from the late 90s to early/late 2000s generation. Though he doesn't have the limit of only reviewing movies from 2000 on, though even Neige has reviewed a [[Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie movie]] that wasn't from the 2000s before. Two, if you count ''Anime/Pokemon2000'', which was released first in Japan in 1999, almost a year before America. He also handles visual effects very well in his own way that makes him stand out.
39	* SpitTake: Suspect, as a Sony exec, does this when "another" says to sell the rights of Spider-Man back to Marvel.
40	** Suspect does another in the ''The Two Towers'' review, when he founds out that the long-haired effeminate boy he mistook for a girl is actually a boy.
41	* TakeThat: He does plenty of these:
42	** Musicians...
43	*** In his review for The Two Towers, he notes that the letter 'r' is the most sinister letter in the alphabet, pointing out all the evil things with the letter r in them, at the end of the list? Music/ChrisBrown.
44	*** "You fool, no man can kill me."
45	--> '''Suspect!Witch King:''' Except maybe [[Music/TheBlackEyedPeas will.i.am]], his music makes me wanna kill myself.
46	*** From his ''Film/TheMatrix'' review, when Morpheus is explaining the Matrix to Neo:
47	--> '''Morpheus:''' This is the world as it exists today.
48	--> '''[[Music/RebeccaBlack "It's Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!"]]'''
49	--> '''Neo:''' Stop! Let me out! I want out!
50	** ...filmmakers...
51	*** Creator/TommyWiseau is subject to getting killed quite a bit.
52	*** In his ''Film/DieAnotherDay'' review, when the doctor of the gene therapy clinic says that they use the tissue of orphans, runaways, and people that won't be missed, Suspect gets out his mobile and call ''Creator/AdamSandler''.
53	** ...and politicians.
54	*** In his ''Film/SpiderMan3'' review, when looking through a dictionary to prove the accuracy of it, he finds the word Wanker... with a picture of David Cameron next to it.
55	*** He also takes a shot at Nick Clegg's backpedaling on tuition fees in the "Top 10 Things Episodes 4-6 Got Wrong" video to demonstrate the dickishness of Obi-Wan's "certain point of view" excuse for why he didn't really lie to Luke about his dad being dead.
56	*** He also equates the usefulness of ''Star Wars: Episode I'''s Senate with that of real-world politicians.
