• In his review of Maleficent, he comes up with a great idea for a scene that makes Stephan seem less like a two-dimensional villain.
  Bobsheaux: Remember the last king who only wanted to kill Maleficent just because? How easy would it be to have one of these little goblin things wander into his kingdom and cause some havoc, and have the king think that he needs to drive the forest creatures away to protect his people? That would be fine. Why would Stephan, who would never, ever want to hurt Maleficent, suddenly do something so horrible as cut her wings off? Because he still loves her and want to lead everyone off her trail. A movie like this is just begging for scenarios where good people do bad things for good reasons. As such, enjoy this little scene that I was praying we were going to get in the movie, but sadly we just never got.
  Maleficent: You betrayed me.
  Stephan: I did.
  Maleficent: You mutilated me.
  Stephan: Yes!
  Maleficent: You took my wings!
  Stephan: Yes! I took your wings because they’d have come for your head if I didn’t! I did what I had to do… because I couldn’t bear to live in a world where you weren’t in it. You think you were the only victim that night? Have you ever felt the blood of someone you love on your hands? Have you ever tried to stitch them up while you’re sobbing uncontrollably, and praying they that don’t bleed to death first?! I had to live with what I did to you every minute of every day for the last sixteen years. I had to relive it every night when I closed my eyes. What happened to you was horrible, but at least you were unconscious when it happened. You had it easy.
  Bobsheaux: But nope, he’s just a mustache twirling villain because this story which is based on moral ambiguity needs a mustache twirling villain.
  • He gets so incensed by this depiction of Maleficent that he admits that it was the first time he actually walked out on a movie.
  Bobsheaux: I have seen a lot of movies in my time. I have seen movies that confused me. I have seen movies that have pissed me off. I have seen movies that left me scarred and traumatized. But until Maleficent, I have NEVER seen a movie that made me walk out of the theater before it was over. EVER.
  • Him syncing up both the animated and live-action renditions of Maleficent's curse on Aurora allows the audience to see just how 1:1 the acting of Angelina Jolie is.
• The entire review of Where the Dead Go to Die Bob does along with guest star, Splat-In-The-Hat's Fedora, is revealed at the end to be one enormous rewrite of the entire movie because the duo couldn't find a single enjoyable thing about the deplorable film. They not only effectively redid the entire plot, but also went to the extra effort of getting original illustrations made for their retake as they read it.
• In his A Word To Derek Savage video, at first he makes it look like he has conformed to Derek's demand of an apology but soon drops the charade and informs his audience that he will bring the Cool Cat Saves The Kids review back up soon and that he has the law on his side, reading the laws on Fair Use for emphasis.
  Bobsheaux: All that there is left to say is thank you, Daddy Derek, for reiterating your point on how we need to stand up to bullies. I think I'll start by standing up to you.
• A huge chunk of Bob's argument against the Pixar theory is not simply the number of leaps and bounds needed to connect all the films, but that it defies the spirit of the movies in question. When the Pixar theory gets into its darker, more cynical and misanthropic places, Bobsheaux delivers a heaping helping of Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!.
• The review of Justice League: War, in which Bobsheaux points out the double standards regarding Superman's destructive moments in comparison to Man of Steel's, especially since JLW Superman is shown to be in complete control of every situation where he causes collateral damage while MOS Superman was overwhelmed. Bonus points for calling out Batman and Wonder Woman for not acting as heroic as they're depicted everywhere else.
• A fair amount of times when Bob riffs or tears into a musical number, he occasionally manages to not only say it in time to the music, but even rhyme it so it could sound like actual lyrics in the song. That's not easy.
• In his review for The Emoji Movie, Bobsheaux comes up with an alternate idea for an emoji movie that is arguably more profound than the final product.
• In his review of Jeff Dunham’s Achmed Saves America, he confesses that he's a fan of the ventriloquist. Even to the point that Jeff owns a replica of the “street legal Batmobile” and deserves to be respected.
• Bobsheaux's review of "Ghostbusters (2016)" ending with Raven herself disparaging the movie, despite giving it her best to give it the benefit of the doubt. If anything, she voices that this movie is abominable because of its hypocrisy and Double Standard. What's more, it's the principle that Raven's doing the summation to show it's not just "the men" who hate this tripe: this movie is just not for the fans.
  Raven: I wanted to give this movie the benefit of the doubt. I wanted it to be good. I wanted the controversy surrounding it to be completely unfounded. But it's GARBAGE! The jokes aren't funny, the story's a mess, these actresses don't have any chemistry together, their characters are cocktail sludge of what they're supposed to be, the logistics of these ghosts and how to catch them don't make sense, and worst of all, they unapologetically trade one brand of blatant sexism for another. There are still far too many women who are struggling in far too many fields, and that should be a theme for this movie to explore, but no! Let's make every other joke about this piece of eye candy who's beautiful and nothing else, but that's okay, because objectification is totally fine if it's a woman who does it! When we were marching for women's rights, I promise you nobody was asking for men to be as stupid as they are pretty and multiple full-bodied muddy shots!
  • The poetic and symbolic way Bobsheaux so gladly banishes the movie to the box, in a manner similar to a Ghostbuster using a proton pack to banish a ghost to a trap.
  • Beforehand, Bobsheaux pointing out the movie's glaring problem with casting all women as a way to metaphorically strong-arm people into watching the movie:
  Bobsheaux: These film makers are already delving into dangerous waters by remaking a classic like this to begin with, but nobody likes being confronted with a cast that says "Approve of us or we'll cancel you!" That's not how you get people on your side.
