To be fair, that's not an uncommon reaction to James Corden.

    open/close all folders 

    Titanic: The Legend Goes On 
  • Her reaction to the rapping dog.
    Diva: Even if you ignore the fact that this is a rapping dog, in 1912, on the damn Titanic, it's still so random and absurd that it defies explanation.
  • Dubbing many an Award-Bait Song over the movie's one.
  • In the commentary track, Christi on the well-endowed singer:
    Diva: With those flotation devices in her chest, she probably survived the sinking. Seriously, some Italian animator was indulging himself!

    Lost Horizon 

    Mamma Mia! 
  • Diva annoyed with being earwormed by ABBA.

    Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss 
  • Diva cheering when the annoying comic relief seemingly dies.
  • While the seals are mourning Romeo and Juliet's "deaths", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is used as a funeral dirge. Diva wonders what songs they went through before deciding on that.
    Diva: [singing mournfully] If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands...

    From Justin to Kelly 
  • The Running Gag where Diva thinks the story is over, but no, it's just bad writing.

    Repo! The Genetic Opera 
  • Diva's struggle to say Terrance Zdunich's name.
    Diva: And for Lucifer's sake, Terrance, buy yourself another vowel!
  • Diva dubs in dialogue from another hologram lady when Blind Mag shows Shilo a hologram of her dead mother.
    Princess Leia: Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
  • When Nathan overhears Rotti's plan to make Shilo his heir:
    Nathan: [aside, facing the viewer] So Rotti thinks he can take Shilo...
    Shilo!Diva: Dad, are you breaking the fourth wall again?
    Nathan!Diva: Shh, go back to sleep, honey.

    Jekyll and Hyde 
  • One of Diva's issues with Jekyll's plan to separate the good and evil halves of people is how many demons it would put out of a job.
    Diva: Not to mention all the hard-working demons who would be out of a job. Who's looking out for them, huh?! A lot of people are employed by the evil industry, Dr. Jekyll, and we don't need your nanny state policies making things worse for middle inferno!
  • After Lucy comes to meet Jekyll for the second time:
    Lucy: Lucy Harris? I'm the one that you and your friend met that night.
    Jekyll: Oh... Yes. I, uh...
    Jekyll!Diva: I didn't recognize you with your clothes on. Uhh, I mean...
  • Diva dubs in the "dramatic chipmunk" music (aka a cue from Young Frankenstein) when Lucy reveals her violent customer was named Hyde.
  • At the end of Act I, after Hyde murders the bishop, Diva abruptly cuts to the intermission music from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
  • During the critique of "Murder, Murder" Diva comments on the umbrella-centric choreography.
    Diva: This bit looks like the Hell Community Theater Production of Mary Poppins. No, seriously, I would know, I was in the chorus. I had a lot of fun on that production.
  • This little dig when Utterson confronts Hyde in Jekyll's lab.
    Hyde: What's the matter? You afraid of science, huh? You afraid of the truth?!
    Utterson!Diva: Of course I am, I'm a Republican!
  • Diva notes that Jekyll doesn't seem to have a problem with Hyde killing people Jekyll isn't attracted to.
    Hyde: [murders the bishop]
    Jekyll!Diva: He had it coming.
    Hyde: You really shouldn't wear your diamonds on the street! [grabs Lady Beaconsfield by the throat] You never know whom you may encounter.
    Jekyll!Diva: Oh, I never really liked her anyway.
    Hyde: Sympathy... [stabs Lucy] Tenderness...
    Jekyll!Diva: Noooo, I was boning her! Oh god, what have I done?!

    Joyful Noise 
  • "I happen to like gospel music. What, just because I'm a hellspawn I must listen only to death metal and Justin Bieber?" Followed by a representative of Heaven profanely clearing Diva to do Joyful Music.
  • Following all the cornpone dialogue:
    Like my brood mammy said: Don't tie a knot in my tail and say it's a horn polisher.
  • Diva punctuates Mr. Hsu's death with an appropriate scene from Torchwood
    Earla: Mr. Hsu!!
    (cut to the cast of Torchwood)
    Tosh: Oh my god!
    Gwen: He just—
    Jack: Came and went.

    Mame 

    The Phantom of the Opera 

    Love Never Dies 
  • "The Beneath a Moonless Sky" parody. (full, as NSFW as it gets, lyrics)
  • "Oh forget it. If I point out all of the ways this doesn't match up to the original, we'll be here until I need snow boots."
  • Diva demonstrating how dated "The Beauty Underneath" is by playing it over a clip from a mid-80s David Copperfield show. As she notes, it fits right in.
    • Diva offers an alternative response for Gustav in said song.
      Phantom: When you stare behind the night
      Can you glimpse its primal might?
      Might you hunger to possess
      Hunger that you can't repress?
      Gustav: Yes!
      Diva: No, Gustav. Your line is: "I NEED AN ADULT!"
  • When Christine is bribed by the Phantom with a shiny necklace, Diva looks on all past fictional examples of how men who gift jewelry to the heroine are 'nice and trustworthy', which includes the Duke, Cal Hockley and THE LORD OF DARKNESS!
    Diva: (After the montage of how men who gift jewelry aren't necessarily good people) Well, that settles it Christine: you're a moron.

    Chitty Chitty Bang Bang 
  • Diva is the first to admit that the film is an oddball on the CVs of its creators:
    Diva: Time for some word association. When I say Ian Fleming and Albert R. Broccoli, what do you think of?
    [publicity photo of Sean Connery as James Bond]
    Diva: Naturally. Now, what if I were to say Ian Fleming, Albert R. Broccoli, and crazy cars?
    [poster for The Spy Who Loved Me]
    Diva: Mmm, perhaps I need to be more specific. Ian Fleming, Albert R. Broccoli, crazy cars, and Dick Van Dyke. Oh, and Roald Dahl.
    [close-up of someone smoking a joint]
    Diva: Fair point, but I was aiming for our next offender, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
  • Diva's horrified reaction to the Childcatcher, particularly his long prosthetic nose. Which leads to a Tempting Fate pile-up:
    Diva: UGHH! Seriously, mortals! Why do you put traumatising stuff like this into your children's movies all the time? Is it to keep therapists in business? [insert of the Far Side comic in which a patient is talking to a therapist who has written "Just plain nuts!" (triple underlined) on his pad] What's next? A scene of the Baron and Baroness' bedroom antics? [a scene showing exactly that starts playing] OHHH!... Well, at least they're not calling each other cutesy- [the Baron and Baroness begin singing "Chu-Chi Face"] I really need to learn to stop doing that...

    The King and I 

    Sunday School Musical 
  • Diva suggests that reviewing the film might constitute a conflict of interest, but it's apparently "the other side" already has it on its "disavowed" list, which reads...
    H.I. HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH, OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR:
    Jack Chick
    al-Qaeda
    Those Osmond tools
    Sunday School Musical
    That one weird bit in Ezeikiel [sic] with the flaming wheel, seriously, what shit was that guy smoking...?
  • The music is so bland that Mike Nelson's sad song starts being played on top of it.
  • The Crossroads Choir's first demonstration has Diva begging for anything else. Cue "a video that makes Rebecca Black's Friday look like Lemonade".
    Diva: Eh, good enough.

    The Pirate Movie 
  • Her reaction to the Pirate King's rather... fancy codpiece.
  • "Who said, 'Hey, you know what this pirate adventure comedy needs? Singing fish that turn into The Rolling Stones logo!'"
  • "Just roll the verdict before I turn this "Happy Ending" into the Fifth Circle!"

    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 
  • "Strawberry Fields. Her parents wanted her to become either a stripper or a Bond Girl."
  • "So they set off to Los Angeles in a hot air balloon... Can't Believe I Said That."
  • Diva's description of the Lonely Hearts Club Band's rise to fame references the Bigger Than Jesus scandal from The Beatles' heyday:
    Diva: So, the next morning...
    Caption: "THE VERY NEXT MORNING, THE BAND BEGINS A DIFFICULT ONE-WEEK CLIMB FROM OBSCURITY TO STARDOM."
    Diva: [bored] Oh, what they said. You get the picture. Band cuts an album, it's a hit, and voilà, bigger than the opposition's kid.
  • Diva snarks that the bizarre choreography for Steve Martin's performance of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" (recorded in the heyday of his "wild and crazy guy" persona) was probably written in the script as "Steve Martin acts crazy".
  • Diva finally loses patience with the film's captions predicting her own narration.
    Diva: So, later that-
    Caption: "LATER... THAT EVENING"
    Diva: Oh, will you stop that!?
  • The hot air balloon returns!
    Diva: Seriously. What is it with you guys and hot air balloons? You can take my word for it, the internal combustion engine is not the tool of the Devil! NASCAR, on the other hand, you'd better believe our claws are all over that.
  • We finally meet the mysterious FVB, the Future Villain Band, and...
    Diva: It's Aerosmith?? Hm. Funny. I thought the musical embodiment of all evil would look more like something on the Disney payroll. [publicity shot of The Cheetah Girls]
  • In the aftermath of Steven Tyler's villain falling to his death, Strawberry Fields falls after him, leading Diva to quip, "So much for Strawberry Fields forever." Cue Roger Daltrey screaming "YEAAAAHHHHH!" over a publicity shot of a sunglasses-clad David Caruso as Horatio Caine in CSI: Miami.

    At Long Last Love 
  • Diva's constant annoyance at the boring characters, lack of conflict, and plagiarized moments.

    Rent 
  • Diva can only manifest herself as toys and plush animals (though apparently she's better than "the guys in the second circle that... well, you'll never feel comfortable walking into a Fascinations store again"). So she's a plush horse. Even if means "wasting a perfectly good intro".
  • "Is this a sin?" "For it to be a sin, I need to know what it is."
  • "This makes me want to run naked across the killing fields of Cambodia!"

    Grease 2 
  • "Ugh, it's like an entire chorus of Pierce Brosnans!"
  • During the intro, Diva gets very personal, recalling when she was dumped for a "Second Circle tramp with perfectly-manicured hooves and huge horns that you know are fake".
  • The credits have Diva saying musical sequels are the worst. Cue next episode: Shock Treatment.
    Diva: Jumping Beelzebub on a pogo stick!

    Shock Treatment 

    The Ten Commandments 
  • The electronically-altered, droning voiceover used for God's voice inspires the complaint "That's not the Almighty, it's a Dalek!" Just to rub it in, the Emperor Dalek's "Do not blaspheme! Do not blaspheme!" is added to said voiceover.
  • How Diva likens handling the faux-baby props in the opening sequence to passing around a football.
    She's at the thirty-five, FUMBLE at the thirty-yard line by Rivkah! Deshti picks it up but he gets a knife at the throat, but the babe is loose and is picked up by Elohim! He COULD! GO! ALL! THE! WAY!
  • Diva compares Ramses and Moses's arguing over the fate of the Jews in the Plagues of Egypt sequence to Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck's Duck Season, Rabbit Season.

    Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 
  • Diva's extended wrath at "Wonderful Christmastime".
    Damn you, Paul McCartney! Damn you to here!
  • Diva using the line "I hate this fucking song" from Major League as a Reaction Shot to the above song.
  • In reference to Richard Simmons voicing one of the comic relief characters, Diva asides that "the Third Circle really outdid themselves with that guy."

    Can't Stop the Music 
  • A woman who looks like Tim Curry is dubbed over with Dr. Frank-N-Furter.
  • A guy with fire batons describing himself as "flaming" earns the comment "no, that's too easy, even for me".
  • "You can't stop the music!"
    Caption: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

    Xanadu 
  • The problems regarding Michael's dream recording studio:
    Hey boy, could you turn off the bloody fan?
    Dry ice? [cough] Who ordered dry ice?
    No, I'm not dangling from a wire, I'm trying to record an album, not play Peter fucking Pan! Fuck it, I'll go back and trash my hotel room.

    Rock and Rule 
  • When the demon is summoned:
    Diva: Oh, this is so embarrassing... I used to date that guy.
  • Describing Mok as "the mummified corpse of Angelina Jolie."
  • Her reaction to "Nuke York."
    Diva: You don't know how much I wish I'd misspoke that.
  • Earlier, Diva had declared that one more bad pun like "Nuke York" would get it put on the sin counter. On learning of "Club 666," the sin counter pops up with a question mark, and Diva decides it's not actually a pun, just an "ooh look, how SATANIC" reference.
    • Don't worry, though - Carnage Hall (spelled that way, but pronounced "Carnagie") leads to her calling the sin.

    Rock of Ages 
  • Diva's cry of shock over Stacey Jaxx's very noticeable codpiece.

    A Little Night Music 
  • Diva nails the dull visual look of this film by comparing it to a BBC miniseries of The '70s.note 
  • "Send In the Clowns" with many a Monster Clown superimposed.

    The Music Man 
  • Diva tries to escape her job, and relax watching The Music Man. Then the 2002 version starts to creep in. Once the rap version is forced on her, she gives up and agrees to review the remake.

    Happily Ever After 
  • The reveal that Mother Nature lives at Gay Pride Falls.
  • In regards to The Realm of Doom:
    Diva: Why do villains choose such obviously evil names for their home turf? If I were an evil overlord, I'd call my realm Happy Fluffy Bunny Land just to confuse the heroes.
  • When Diva narrates how the "Prince" reveals himself as Lord Maliss, she cuts off the "What a Twist" clip because she doesn't think it deserves the honor of the "plot twist" gag.

    Paint Your Wagon 
  • "Lee Marvin does sound like a grumpy old man who's drunk all the time. The problem is, no one wants to hear that." Then she uses a clip of Christi on Jeopardy! to say his singing is monotonous.
  • One of the songs makes Diva conclude on what inspired Clint Eastwood to do his empty chair bit in the 2012 GOP convention.
  • Diva swooning whenever Harve Presnell, whom she proclaims as the movie's Saving Grace, opens his mouth to sing.

    I Kissed a Vampire 
  • Diva showing up in the form of flames in a tablet.
    • She announces that JessWorld shall be forced to review a musical with dramatic music and zoom-in... on the tablet.
    • Frustrated by the Not What It Looks Like Third-Act Misunderstanding, Diva asks JessWorld to slap the tablet since she feels the need for a Face Palm but doesn't have claws to do it herself. He accidentally slaps it off the shelf it's sitting on.
  • Diva and JessWorld question how Dylan is able to tell his para-psychologist about what Sarah was doing when he wasn't around to see it.
    Psychologist!Diva: So Dylan, what happened after you ran away from your sort-of girlfriend in a blind panic?
    Dylan!JessWorld: Well Sarah stayed behind and sang this terrible pop number while random strangers danced behind her for a few minutes. I think the song was about relationships or something, but the lyrics were pretty vague.
    Psychologist!Diva: How do you...
    Dylan!JessWorld: Don't question my vampire powers! They're mine...

    The Apple 
  • Diva's reaction to the literal Deus ex Machina finale, heralded by a gold Rolls-Royce descending from the skies.
    Diva: Lilith's tits!
  • Diva admits the movie is So Bad, It's Good and asks why there is no midnight movie following like Rocky Horror. In response, she's assigned to review The Swan Princess Christmas.
    Diva: Me and my big maw.

    The Swan Princess Christmas 
  • "For obvious reasons, Hell doesn't celebrate Christmas. But there's always been a dark side for the holidays, ever since King Herod indulged in infanticide. Wonder why that tradition never caught on."
  • Diva's reactions to the movie's lousy (nightmarish) animation.
    • First:
      Diva: So, let's examine the case of OHSWEETLUCIFERDESTROYITKILLITWITHFIREAAAAGH!!!!!
      Sin #1: NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
    • While the camera is focused on Odette's mouth: "Hey, I can see my house from here!"
  • Her response to hearing Number 9's want to be rewarded a set of new nine lives for helping Rothbart be brought back to life, along with putting up a picture of StarClan cats saying "Noo lifs. U cannot haz".
    Dude, I don't think StarClan's gonna okay that.

    Geppetto 
  • Before changing the background to the one with the lady devil, Diva is really tempted to use a Hugh Jackman wallpaper instead.
  • After Geppetto has an Anvilicious talk and song about fathers putting pressure on their sons with Lizardo, who mentions that his own father is going to be so disappointed in him:
    And that, children, was how Geppetto adopted a 28-year-old black man as his son.
  • Diva deciding to dub lies of her own over Pinocchio's ("Gamergate was all about the ethics of gaming journalism!" "YouTube comments are a great source of insightful opinion!").

    The Singing Detective 
  • Backstory Trauma Bingo.

    Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return 
  • Her reaction to the way Dorothy is summoned back to Oz.
    Diva: But no sooner has she finished the song, which is already fading from the audience’s memory, that a rainbow wants to taste her.
  • Said reaction is immediately followed up by the following, and equally brilliant, line:
    Diva: There is no way you're going a rainbow look threatening to anyone who isn't a Fox News anchor.
  • Diva torturing AniMat with the Deranged Animation.

    Tentacolino 
  • The "crowd sourced recap" of The Legend of the Titanic.
  • Being a 3rd anniversary special, Diva ends the episode with a hilarious song about Musical Hell.

  • The tsarina has a peculiar pose in her portrait.
    Narrator: She was very beautiful-
    Diva: But she really needed the little tsarina's room.
  • When the talking instruments show up for the first time:
    Tuba: Getting better all the time!
    Diva as Anastasia: Thank you, and by that I mean AAAAAAAAAAAAH!
  • When Tuba scolds Cello and Accordion for quarreling:
    Tuba: All of you behave yourselves! We're a proper quartet, not some common street band!
    Diva: Yeah, act like dignified abominations of nature!
  • "This is no neighborhood watch! This is no welcome wagon!" "This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!"
  • Diva makes a lot of jokes about how the twist regarding the talking instruments is too easy to guess.
    Tuba: I remember an Ikonovitch!
  • Vladimir unknowingly negotiates with Tuba, believing he is talking to Anastasia even though she and Tuba sound nothing alike.
    Tuba: Tell you what: split the difference, twenty percent.
    Vladimir: Deal!
    Vladimir!Diva: And may I say, you have a lovely baritone.
  • When they start ordering food:
    Harp: Now children, behave.
    Cello: You're right. Perhaps we should starve.
    Diva: You're dead and in a cello, it's not like you need sustenance.
    • In the same scene:
    Cello: Vodka!
  • Diva's reaction to seeing Harp gulping down an entire plate of food: "That...was horrifying."
  • When Anastasia mentions how the duke she had to prove herself spent her fifth birthday in the servant's quarters, drinking her father's best vodka, we get this gem:
    Diva: Well now to be fair, that's where most adults would like to be at a five-year-old's birthday party.
  • When the Empress Dowager refuses to believe that Anastasia is her granddaughter:
    Empress: He dressed you up, gave you words to parrot-
    Diva: Oh come on, you aren't being fair, she hasn't said one word about Polly wanting a cracker.
    • Before that, the Empress Dowager asking if Anastasia has "no ready wit".
    Diva as Empress Dowager: Hm, maybe you are Anastasia, she was dumb as a post too.
  • Diva imitating a truck backing up when Anastasia backs out of a room.
  • During Cheka's "Prince Charmless" villain song, we get this:
    Diva as Anastasia: I knew I should've married that nice Prince Hans instead.
    • Prior to that, the Running Gag of “Prince Paul” being Obviously Evil.
      Anastasia: Prince Paul is the only one I trust. He’s the one getting me an audience with the Dowager Empress.
      Diva as Anastasia: And he swore he had nothing to do with the black mamba in my bed!

    Camelot 
  • When Lancelot begs Arthur for forgiveness for getting in a fight with him in the forest:
    Lancelot: I beg your majesty to forgive me. Not because I deserve it, but because by forgiving me, I'll suffer more.
    Diva: Yup. Definitely a Catholic.
  • Diva valiantly tries to avoid making Monty Python and the Holy Grail references, only for a overlong scene practically demand a "GET ON WITH IT!"

    Walking On Sunshine 
  • "Next time I'm on surface leave, I'm gonna burst out singing at customs. See how long it takes for to get a cavity search." (showing up the book My First Cavity Search is a plus)
  • The "WHO CARES" from Into the Woods is used with impeccable timing.

    Disco Worms 

    The Wiz 
  • Her thoughts on certain storytelling elements:
    Diva: And by the way, we all know the "It Was With You The Whole Time" thing is a standard Oz Aesop, but this movie is really Anvilicious about it. The characters go from, (scenes of the Tin Man) "OOOHH, if only I could have feelings!" (ding!) "Here! Let me cry my eyes out!" (scenes of the Cowardly Lion) "OOOHH, I'm such a coward!" (ding!) "Stand back. I will defeat the creepy subway, single-pawed!"
    Diva: This scene calls for some Yakety Sax but I used that gag twice already......Oh to here with it!

    Home on the Range 

    Musical Hell TV: Secret of Mulan 
  • Diva’s already-low expectations get even lower from the get-go.
    Diva: Two minutes in and we already had our Villain Song. Things can only go downhill from here.
  • Diva isn’t pleased by the As Long as It Sounds Foreign names.
    Diva: ‘Bow Tie?’ This is making the names in Madame Butterfly sound authentic.
  • When one of the beetle soldiers attempts to charge Mulan and ends up running for his comrade, arms outstretched.
    Diva!Soldier: “I can’t deny it anymore, I love you!”
  • Bow Tie gets a song of his own, which is finished by the Big Bad, Mala Khan, shouting for him.

    Diva!Mala Khan: Were you doing a villain number without me?!

    Stage Fright

    Little girl: Isn't it wrong to sing and dance when someone just died?
    Diva: [as Ned Stark] That's the only time a man can sing and dance, my child.

    Burlesque 

    The Nutcracker: The Untold Story 

    Annie (2014) 

    Sweeney Todd 

    MHTV The Secret of the Hunchback 
  • "Damn, first Frollo's an archdeacon, then he gets demoted to judge, and now he's a sheriff. If this keeps up, in the next adaptation he's going to be a security guard who writes angry letters to the editor in his off-time."
  • Diva mishears one of the sheriff's lines.
    Sheriff: Well done, my cunning friends!
    Diva: My cumming friends?! Ewwww!
  • Diva's reaction to the ending twist that Quasimodo is an angel and his hunch was holding his wings the entire time.
    Diva: What. ... No, really, what?'' ...Yeah I'm not even gonna snark on this, I'm just gonna let that little plot twist sink in for a moment.
  • Diva's closing narration.
    Narrator: Some have entertained angels unawares.
    *fade into the credits*
    Diva!Narrator: I know, it's a pretty heavy-handed and ridiculous cop-out of an ending, but hey, at least we have the better adaptations of The Hunchback out there, right? I mean, the Disney version is pretty awesome, the gargoyles were kind of dorky, but let's face it, this movie has no right to be throwing stones on that account. And of course there's the silent classic with Lon Chaney, truly the man of a thousand faces. The Charles Laughton version is always a classic, and I do have a lingering fondness for the 1997 version starring Mandy Patinkin and Selma Hayeck... you know what, screw the closing narration, I'm gonna go rummage through my DVD collection and wash away the taste of this saccharine claptrap, I suggest you do the same.

    The Princess and the Pea 
  • Her thoughts during the (anti-)climax.
    Diva: (laughs) I don't care how much dramatic music and thunder you put in. You are not going to make lying down for a nap look exciting.

    Nine 
  • "'Priest in a hot tub' would be a great name for a band, or a cocktail!"

    Glitter 

    Thumbelina 
  • "If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go anywhere but this... this movie is the pits!"
  • The prince receives his own version of the Dead Parrot sketch.

    Descendants 

    Scooby Doo: Music Of The Vampire 
  • Discussing how Velma somehow sets the Mystery Machine gang on vacation to a haunted festival, considering "You even sang an Opposition-Damned song about it!"

  • After the infamous "Scooby and Me" song, Diva sentences composer Andy Summer to a rather wicked fate:
    Diva: Shaggy Scooby slash/fic. You just know it exists...Somewhere in the dark corners of the Internet....

    Rhinestone 
  • Diva opens the review by saluting the unsung heroes (in several senses) of musicals: the writers of the books, the stories that keep audiences coming back.note  Joseph Stein, Hugh Wheeler, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, James Lapine... and Sylvester Stallone!? Yes, as the bailiff points out to Diva, Stallone had a co-writer credit on Rhinestone (and fellow co-writer Phil Alden Robinson resented his changes so much that he tried to have his name removed from the film). And apparently he enjoyed making the film immensely:
    Diva: Even after Rhinestone bombed, Stallone went on record saying that working with Dolly Parton was the most fun he'd ever had making a movie. Which brings the grand total of people who got some happiness out of this mess to... one.

    Christmas Is Here Again 
  • "Santa's Sacred Sack (hur hur)" and all it implies, from that sin card and the usual Face Palm clip, to Diva concluding baby Jesus's cloth "gives a whole meaning to the term 'Holy shit'".

    A Troll In Central Park 
  • The intro, where Diva complains about getting another "Don Bluth Dork Age" so soon after the other. When it turns out to be a Patreon request, she proceeds to insult Christi.
    Diva: Patreon request!? Whose idea was it to set up that silly thing anyway?
    Bailiff: [unintelligible chirping]
    Diva: Oh, really. [muttering] Stupid high and mighty mortal, don't know where she gets off with her cheap editing software and her Jeopardy! money and her... [sighs] Okay, fine, let's just get this over with. [over a sped up version of the recording of Saint-Saëns' Danse macabre that usually opens the videos] Greetings mortals, yadda yadda yadda, I'm Diva, blah blah blah, our next offender, A Troll in Central Park.
  • Halfway through tearing the film a new one, Diva realises that the plot - cheerful protagonist falls afoul of wicked queen and is banished to New York, has a few Fish out of Water moments, falls in with a couple of locals, and wins them over with charm and musical numbers, only for the queen to decide to go to New York herself to finish the job, leading to a final confrontation - has many similarities to that of Enchanted. So they're the same film, then? Well...
    Diva: Except... y'know, Enchanted had interesting and sympathetic characters, and a much better screenplay, and good songs, and an amusing tone that walked the line between affectionate tribute and Deconstruction and a ton of Shout Outs to the Disney canon, and fun cameos, and Amy Adams, James Marsden, and Susan Sarandon and Timothy Spall and Idina Menzel, all of whom are amazing and talented people. Other than that, totally the same.
  • Her befuddled reaction to Sin #7: On A Fucking Tricycle
    Diva: Someone wrote that scene. Someone wrote it down and thought it was a good idea and managed to convince a bunch of others it was a good idea and it was animated and recorded and we are watching it RIGHT. NOW.

  • And her reaction to the film's Esoteric Happy Ending, where it ends up being Sin #8:
    Diva: And takes over the entire city? What the here, Don Bluth?! This isn't an uplifting ending! This is the original Downer Ending from Little Shop of Horrors! This is what Poison Ivy gets up to before Batman throws her into Arkham! This is the transition period between the downfall of humanity and the Rise of the Planet of the Apes! YOU BASTARD, STANLEY! YOU OVERGREW IT ALL! DAMN YOU TO HERE!!!

    Strange Magic 
  • "George Lucas wanted to make this for little girls, who clearly have nothing to do with Star Wars and instead are only interested in silly romances with fairies…If you listen closely you can hear the spirit of Carrie Fisher giving old George the middle finger."
  • "I asked my bailiff about this movie's interpretation of an imp, and he said, and I quote..." And Diva proceeds to speak in the same manner the bailiff usually does, only Blowing a Raspberry by the end.

    The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale 
  • The review starts with Diva beating herself and asking why this series continues.
    Is Sony in a competition with the people who made The Land Before Time to see who can drag a series longer?
  • Funnily enough, this movie has a Saving Grace in the form of a surly, eyepatch wearing scullion Diva simply dubs: Eyepatch Guy.

    Peter Pan Live 

    Portal 2: The Unauthorized Musical 
  • The episode introduces us to Donna, Diva's angelic counterpart from Musical Heaven, and then Diva appears with a hangover.
    Donna: Salutations and blessings upon thee, mortals, from the exalted and hallowed heights of Musical Heaven! I am your most gracious hostess, Donna, and it is my solemn duty to-
    Diva: [woozily] Uhhhhhhhhhhhh...I thought the good Tequila wasn't supposed to give you a han...WHAT THE F-
    Donna: Ah-ah-ah! Language, Diva, darling!
    Diva: [testily] Donna, I am coming down from an extended drinking binge which, sadly, did absolutely nothing to eradicate the image of Christopher Walken fake tapdancing from my mind, so I'm only going to ask this once. What the here are you doing...here!?
  • Diva having to deny having laughed at this (specially when one knows how much Christi complains about the joke's target):
    Wheatley: Most of your facts are spurious—
    Fact Core: They are ALTERNATIVE.

    Pete's Dragon 
  • It's back to business as usual after Donna's "visit"; the bailiff tells Diva the next case on the docket, which she finds spectacularly unmemorable:
    Diva: Ahh! Pete's Dragon! I remember that! It's the movie with, um... Pete, and his... uh, dragon... and I suppose there's songs in it, I mean that's why we're doing this, right?

    Popeye 
  • Regarding "He Needs Me", "the combined powers of Audra McDonald, Kristen Chenoweth, Philippa Soo, Sutton Foster, and Julie fucking Andrews would not be enough to make this song appealing!"
  • "Hate's done more good to me than anything in this world!" "Isn't that Roger Ailes' epitaph?"

    The Fantasticks 
  • "New Kids on the Block? Your parents' equivalent of One Direction? [sighs] Damn kids, get off my fields of asphodel!"
  • "Red flags! Red flags here!"
  • "Let her go!" "Very poor choice of words."

    Sci-Fi High: The Movie Musical 
  • Diva opens right away telling viewers You Can Turn Back, as not only this movie is really obscure (even highlighting the lack of Wikipedia and TV Tropes pages) but it's unbelievably bad. And she gives the warning again after a terrible scene makes her ask how long it's been on - a meager ten minutes!
    Diva: [her voice unusually tense] Greetings... mortals... welcome to another session of the infernal court in Musical Hell... I'm Diva, your judge, jury, and run, get out while you still can! Save yourself while you're still innocent of the horror that is Sci-Fi High: The Movie Musical!
    [later, with the movie already on its fourth Sin card]
    Diva: [sighs heavily] How far are we into this movie?
    Caption: [ding!] TEN MINUTES
    Diva: ... You know, I'm stuck with this material. You can still get out and browse Watch Mojo if you'd like!
  • The thing is so screwed up the sin cards are terse ("Yeah, this happened", "Just...why?", "Ewwwwww", "I hate this scene...").
  • The awkward camera angles of Thompson smacking Eddie with a ruler warrants Sin #6.
    Diva: The fact that someone, somewhere is almost certainly getting off on that scene is the scariest thing to happen in this movie so far...
  • During the dreadful "He said, she said" scene that Diva declares Sin #8 with the title card "I hate this scene...", we see just how much the film has broken her:
    Diva: Well, I finally know what Hell is like. Well - I mean, I've always known, because I live here, but I finally have an understanding of what you people go through when you first come down.

    Beauty and the Beast: An Enchanted Christmas 

    Rock-A-Doodle 
  • "[The Great Duke] spits Lucky Charms at Edmond to turn him into an animated kitten. Don't make me repeat that. The idiocy can break me."
  • To quote Diva after Edmond and company utterly fail to easily find Chanticleer in the city despite there being giant neon signs present advertising a gig the latter is performing at:
    "Dude, Ray Charles wouldn't have failed that spot check!"
  • A bizarre acid sequence that Edmond goes through leads to this comment from Diva:
    Diva: And we've gone from "Sure why not" to "What the FUCK?!"

    The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 
  • La Fidele first earns Drax saying "Metaphor" for its main quality, and then a rant on how the gold-lined bell is impractical.
  • "Sarouche is so busy doing his Rafiki impression..."

    MHTV: Beauty and The Beast 
  • "Everybody do the nightmare conga!"
  • Beauty's father, who is about to freeze to death, sees a star that leads him to the Beast's castle.
    Father!Diva: It's Bethlehem, I'm saved!
  • The Running Gag on how the music doesn't stop. For example, when Beauty sets off to find her father:
    Sister: We'll perish! Beauty, we'll perish!
    Beauty!Diva: Don't worry, there's food in the fridge and I put out fresh litter for the orchestra!
  • After the ghosts inadvertently give Beauty the idea to give the Beast another chance, and she repeats their unintentional suggestions almost word for word:
    Ghost 1!Diva: Don't tell me she's going to strip naked and roll around in a tub of chocolate pudding!
    Ghost 2!Diva: Frank!
    Ghost 1!Diva: Hey, it was worth a shot.
  • The Beast asks Beauty to marry him.
    Beast: You needn't worry. There is no wrong answer.
    Beauty!Diva: Okay, uh... Pickle!
  • The prince has an interesting sound byte when he’s being cursed. Diva can’t say the below comment without Corpsing.
    Diva: Let me spare you the rewind. Yes, the prince just Wilhelm Screamed as he was being cursed. You heard right.
  • Beauty asks the mirror where the handsome prince she saw in a portrait is, but the mirror shows her the image of her sick father instead.
    Beauty!Diva: Clearly my father ate the handsome prince!
  • Diva comments on the sisters’ plan to keep Beauty from returning to the castle by forcing chores into her. Which works.
    Diva: Great, so you’re gonna make her stay by being more selfish and annoying? What kind of naive idiot would— aaactually, you’re onto something here.
  • Diva notices some notable absences during the wedding.
    Beauty!Diva: By the way, what happened to my sisters?
    Beauty!Diva: Oh, hahahaha, isn't that just like them~?

    The Secret of NIMH 2 
  • Diva cuts the "In song form!" clip because she feels the movie doesn't deserve something taken from a better one.

    The Lorax 
  • While introducing the movie, Diva mentions the infamous Estrogen Brigade for its incarnation of the Once-ler... then admits she shouldn't judge as she expresses her own Perverse Sexual Lust for the Reaper from Overwatch.
    "Oh Gabriel, my gravel-voiced edgelord... toss away those big guns of yours and come to me, mi amado! [Beat] ...Sorry, where was I?"
    Sextette 
  • "Did Keith Moon die of overdose or overacting? [Collective Groan] Demon, people. Demon."

    Descendants 2 
  • Right away, Diva says that she's reviewing Descendants 2, so "stop pestering me!"
  • Diva starts rattling off with the many plotholes in the movie again but she gets the punishments in just as the credits roll.
    Diva: I'm getting the punishments in this time; Music team: serenaded with bagpipes, Ben: slapped atop the head until he gets an ounce of common sense, Duke: fed to the cast of the Lion King! Recorded, adjourned, DONE!

    Phantom of the Paradise 
  • Donna returns despite Diva's best efforts to keep her from overhearing the name of the film being reviewed, and once the review proper gets going, Donna entertains herself by playing many opening intros over the film's one, leading Diva to ask "get your claws away from the panel!"
  • The dispute regarding the Naked Gun clip.
    Diva: [as Winslow naively agrees to hand over his Faust rock cantata to Swan's record label] I'm doing the clip.
    Donna: No, you are not doing the clip!
    Diva: Yes, I am doing it-
    Donna: [simultaneously with Diva] I mean it, do not touch that button, it is a ridiculous Running Gag and you do not need to resort to it one more time!
    Diva: [simultaneously with Donna] -if ever there was a time we needed the clip, this is that time!
    [the argument and sounds of a scuffle play over a screen reading "Technical Difficulties - Please Stand By"]
    [static] [the mass Face Palm from The Naked Gun 33 1/3 plays]
    Donna: [sarcastically] Well, do you feel better now?
    Diva: A little, yes.
  • Diva names the character of Beef the film's "Saving Grace", although Donna takes exception to her choice of words to explain why:
    Diva: Gerrit Graham is obviously enjoying himself immensely with this character, and even though Beef is pretty much a sassy, Camp Gay stereotype, the focus of the humour is not his sexuality so much as his prima donna attitude.
    Donna: I beg your pardon!?
    Diva: A figure of speech.

    A Christmas Carol Live 
  • The underwhelming appearance of the Ghost of Christmas-Yet-To-Come leads to a bout of laughter.

    The (Other) Phantom of the Opera 
  • The section detailing financier Al Hirschfield's weird life.
  • After revealing Moncharmin is played by Darin De Paul, Diva takes any chance she can to insert Reinhardt dialogue into his scenes.
    Moncharmin: I promise you: it will calm down. It will be ready. [to the performers] CALM DOWN! GET READY!
    Reinhardt: DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION YET?
    [...]
    Moncharmin: Are you accusing me of fancy bookkeeping!?
    Reinhardt: COME OUT AND FACE ME!
    [...]
    Richard: [singing to Carlotta] Imagine applauding that way for a neophyte!
    Moncharmin: I liked it.
    Reinhardt: What's wrong with the classics? I LOVE Hasselhoff!
  • "Danse Macabre" gets Diva happy, of course. But once it plays again, she trades it for the Star Wars cantina music.
  • Diva fears saying she enjoyed the movie, knowing the next case is always worse when that happens. So when The Pebble and the Penguin shows up, she goes, the reaction is "Of fucking course!"

    The Pebble and the Penguin 
  • Twice Diva tries to pass off a moment where two main characters could seemingly end up dying as the end of the film, complete with a Looney Tunes-style ending shot, only for it to turn out the film isn't over yet.
  • When the defeat of antagonist Drake causes his lair to collapse, Diva quips, "Unfortunately, Drake was a load-bearing villain..."

    Jem and the Holograms 
  • This video sees Musical Hell cross over with That Long-Haired Creepy Guy as the latter is summoned to Diva's circle of Hell, with his partner in snark Chibi-Cthulhu along for the ride. Diva does her best to play the terrifying demon as she summons Creepy and Chibi-Cthulhu to Musical Hell, but neither of them are the least bit intimidated, so she eventually drops the act and asks them directly if they're game to review Jem and the Holograms (2015) with her:
    Diva: Hear me, ye creatures of the nether realms! By the powers of the inferno I conjure thee to do my bidding! Bring me my rightful prey, that my vengeance might be sated!
    [cut to Creepy in front of a montage of scenes from Gargoyles]
    Creepy: Hey guys! I know I said we were going to finish Jem before we started on Gargoyles, buuut... [Dramatic Thunder] That's not a good sign... [he suddenly appears in Musical Hell, wearing a Jem T-shirt and a bright green wig] Ahh! What in the name of Greta Phillips?... Wait, what th- where are we?
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Let's take stock. Unnaturally high temperature? Check. Overpowering aroma of brimstone, check. Terrible wi-fi reception... yep. It all checks out. We're in Hell!
    Diva: Musical Hell, to be precise!
    Creepy: [waving] Oh hai Diva. What's up?
    Diva: [accompanied by Dramatic Thunder, a dark filter over the picture, and heavy reverb on her voice] Do not dissemble with me, mortal! The vengeance of a demon of the underworld will not be deterred! As you have made me suffer, so you shall suffer! [Evil Laugh, accompanied by more Dramatic Thunder]
    Creepy: Huh?
    Diva: [normal voice] I'm doing the Jem and the Holograms movie, you want in or what?
    Creepy: That train wreck? [scoffs] Sure! But... why the big production? I mean, you could have just asked me.
    Diva: Yeah, but it's the principle! I can't just waltz over to some mortal and say "Hey, wanna do a crossover?" I'm a demon! Style and presentation are very important!
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Speaking as a friend and ardent admirer, that might make more sense if it weren't coming from a cardboard cutout.
    Diva: [back to heavy reverb, the image now stretched to look as though she is towering over the camera] I am the nightmare dredged from the very depths of the inferno! The puny senses of mortals could not begin to comprehend the terror and majesty of my true form!
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Eh, that, and the lower downs are really stingy with the effects budget. Trust me, I know.
    Diva: [sighing, through clenched teeth] Not helping...
    Creepy: You do remember that he's an Elder God, right?... [shrugs] Never mind, let's just get to the movie.
    Chibi-Cthulhu: [whining] Ohhh... do we have to?...
  • The film's introduction sets off a level of introspection that makes the trio very uncomfortable very quickly...
    Diva: There's also some folderol about YouTube personas being secret identities that we hide behind and use to share our weird projects with the world.
    [Reaction Shot of Diva, Chibi-Cthulhu, and Creepy in that order]
    Creepy: Ye-eah. So... moving on?
    Chibi-Cthulhu: [simultaneously with Diva] Please, yes! I would greatly appreciate that!
    Diva: [simultaneously with Chibi-Cthulhu] Oh, thank Lucifer, yes please!
  • A comment that being "internet famous" is the second-best thing to being "actually famous" leads to a very loud "FUCK YOU!" from the reviewers (apart from Chibi-Cthulhu, who opts instead for "Screw you!"), with Creepy Flipping the Bird for good measure.
  • The reviewers are unimpressed with the film's portrayal of Jem's pursuit by Erica Raymond for a trio of concerts and the ensuing standoff over whether her sisters are part of the deal.
    Diva: Seriously, I have seen movies where musicians are flown to LA by hot air balloons, sold their souls to the boss, had their music stolen, got sentenced to life for first offence drug possession, broke out, got disfigured by a record press, and THEN sold their souls to the boss, and this is the most wildly fanciful portrayal of the music industry I have ever seen!
  • Creepy points out a bit of a problem with Aunt Bailey's naiveté in letting the girls go off to Los Angeles:
    Creepy: And Aunt Bailey is okay with letting her four daughters go off with two total strangers. Who work in the music industry. That woman needs to go back to the 80s and watch a "stranger danger" video STAT!
    [cut to a clip from such a video with the cast of the Winnie the Pooh books]
    Rabbit: [singing] Don't be fooled by tricks! Don't fall for a phony story...
  • You know your attempt at a cute robot character has failed when an Elder God finds it frightening. Creepy is likewise disgusted by the robot's introduction, but for narrative reasons:
    Chibi-Cthulhu: [upon seeing Synergy for the first time] STOP! STOP! Stop, stop the movie, I wanna get off! It looks like the bastard child of WALL•E and EVE!
    Diva: With maybe a bit of the alien monkey from the Lost in Space movie.
    Creepy: Synergy projects some home movies and a map on the ceiling and I can't stand it anymore!
    Sin #5: THE PLOT (SUCH AS IT IS)
  • Sin #6, inevitably, is THE YOUTUBE CONTROVERSY surrounding the video clips made by fans of the original animated series that were then stripped of their original context and made to look like fan videos about the film character (despite the obviously 1980s cosplay, make-up, and, in at least one case, an episode from the cartoon playing on TV in the background). The celebrity cameos just make things worse in the eyes of the reviewers:
    Chris Pratt: [interview clip] Yeah, Jem and I dated for like, six weeks, it was pretty serious...
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Dude, you're married.note 
    Creepy: If it helps, he's really talking about his sister's Jem doll from when they were kids.
    Chibi-Cthulhu: ... That's not better! That's the opposite of better!
    Diva: Speaking of, how old is Jerrica supposed to be in this? Because I'm getting a distinct high school vibe from her and her sisters, and yet she's got this romantic subplot with Rio, who is an intern at Starlight and is probably over 18, and looks to be in his 20s!
    Creepy: [thoughtfully] You know... I think you're on to something.
    [Beat]
    Diva, Creepy, Chibi-Cthulhu: EWWWW!!
  • The film's invocation of Chekhov's Gun in the form of Jerrica's earrings leads to another parody of the "IBM Presents: You Make the Call!" segments.
    Diva: Jerrica and her friends need to get a pair of special McGuffin earrings currently in Erica Raymond's safe. Should she:
    [caption: "A: Just ask"] A. Ask for the earrings back since as far as Erica knows, they don't have any value beyond sentimental...
    [caption: "B: Convincing alibi"] B. Get Rio, who works at Starlight and is the son of the CEO, to create a plausible excuse for them being in the building after hours, or...
    [caption: "C: Crazy scheme!"] C. Concoct an elaborate break-in scheme that wouldn't fool anyone with half a brain, and will drag the film out even longer.
    Chibi-Cthulhu: [long-suffering] Ugh... knowing these people, it's probably C.
    Diva: Congratulations! You made the wrong call, and therefore the only call anybody in this movie can make.
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Hurray...
    Diva: We can gloss over the majority of this Ocean's Negative Eleven caper, which honestly is making the cartoon look realistic and well thought out, but it's worth pointing out a few highlights. First, there's the combination to Erica's safe.
    [the combination is revealed to be... "erica_raymond".]
    Dark Helmet: That's the stupidest combination I ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
  • The reviewers have fun with The Unreveal when Jerrica, instead of revealing her identity as Jem, simply tells her audience that they're all Jem.
    Chibi-Cthulhu: Not me, I am Groot!
    Creepy: I am Iron Man!
    Diva: [singing] I... am... your singing telegram...
  • The last sin: the orphaned sequel hook.
    Creepy: Oh, hey! It's the Misfits! One question:
    Creepy, Diva, Chibi-Cthulhu: WHERE'VE YOU BEEN THIS ENTIRE/WHOLE MOVIE!?
    Sin #8: NO MISFITS? THE FUCK?

    MHTV: Titanic: The Legend Goes On (Uncut Version) 
  • The Running Gag of First Officer Stockard disapproving or approving of things. Possibly the best instance is when he tells the people rowing the lifeboat not to sit so far apart.
    Diva: [as Stockard] I disapprove of personal space!
  • This dub:
    Angelica: You know nothing about me.
    William: Nothing you could tell me would prevent me from loving you.
    Diva: [Angelica] I voted for Trump.
    Diva: [as William] Oh, well fuck you, then.
  • The other Running Gag comparing this movie’s Gaston to another famous Gaston.
    William: I’m going on deck. Tell Gaston.
    Diva: [as William] …no more antlers in his decorating, it’s tacky!
  • Diva’s response to Nanny’s Captain Obvious comment when evacuating.
    Officer: You’re the last one, ma’am. On you go.
    Nanny: We’re on a ship in the middle of the ocean!
    Diva: [as the officer] Uh, on second thought, you stay. We’ll give your seat to someone who understands the gravity of the situation.

    The Mighty Kong 
  • Even at the start, Diva still can't get her head round this mockbuster actually existing:
    "Greetings, mortals. Welcome to another session of the infernal court of Musical Hell. I'm Diva, your judge, jury, executioner and this is a thing. Dear Lord of Darkness, why is this a thing?!"

  • Upon taking note of how Kong ends up referred to as a monkey several times in the movie despite obviously being an ape, Diva reveals herself to be quite familiar with Disc World:
    "Sweet Lucifer, has the Librarian not taught you anything?!"

  • And a scene where Kong does a hole in one into an open manhole leads to Sin #9: Yes, the movie has sunken that low.

  • As if 9 sins weren't enough, the abrupt ending barely scraped the film to 10 sins:
    "And everyone accepts the large displaced wildlife and the widespread destruction he caused by — wait what the FUCK?! That's it?! Seriously, that's how you end your movie?! I didn't you could piss me off enough to push it to the 10th sin mark, but there you go! You got in right under the buzzer. Congratu-fucking-lations.

    Pokémon Live! 
  • The intro where Diva feels recharged after taking a month off... and then comes this as her next case.

    Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 
  • Upon being introduced to Addison's Dark Secret (her undyeable white hair), Diva asks if the secret is that she's Ashe from Overwatch.
  • When Addison's parents demand that they meet the guy she's dating (not knowing that he's a zombie):
    Diva: This puts Addison in a bind as she's not yet ready to go all Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, But Not to Eat Our Brains, I Promise.

    Elf Bowling: The Movie 
  • Dingle goes to his next plan, which is the same one he had a few minutes ago.
    Diva: So Dingle moves to plan C; discrediting Lex's reputation with Santa...which is basically Plan A. Is this an evil scheme or a Rondo?
  • The movie pulling a second and near identical Elf Bowling for Christmas gets Sin #10: I stand corrected.
    Diva: Look. I know this movie is called Elf Bowling and is based on a video game where Elf Bowling occurs, so naturally Elf Bowling was going to be shown at some point. But you already had one pointless Bowling for Christmas scene earlier and you do NOT get away with repeating it! And yes, this is an exact FUCKING repeat of what happened 30 minutes ago.

    Doctor Dolittle 
  • Not too long after Diva finishes describing how the good doctor, as portrayed by Rex Harrison, is a lot more of a jerk than the script intended, the viewers are treated to a scene immediately after Dolittle's sister has left him and he's effectively lost his credibility as a doctor for people in which the good doctor admits that "[he's] a terrible doctor. Probably the...worst doctor in the world." The subsequent response?
  • Her baffled reaction to the Doctor's notorious love ballad to a sealnote .
    "You do know she's a seal? And married? And also, a seal?"

    Hi-Tops 
  • Diva's usual introduction is varied to allow her to vent her spleen about this play's genre:
    Diva: I'm Diva, your judge, jury, executioner, and sweet Lucifer, I hate faith-based media.
    Marge Simpson: Well, duh.note 
    [picture of the hotels.com mascot, Captain Obvious, with the caption "Thanks, Captain Obvious."]
  • Donna shows up for a cameo - apparently, she draws the line at this film's portrayal of Heaven.
    Diva: [regarding Louie, the play's antagonist] This is perhaps the most over the top depiction of the boss I've ever seen, and remember, I've seen this. [clip of Mr. Boogalow from The Apple]
    Donna: Hmph! At least they didn't turn your side into winged Power Rangers with modulated voices!
    Angel: [matching Donna's description] Hey, buster! I thought we told you to get off the premises!
    Diva: Donna, I know you have issues with this-
    Donna: Of course I have issues! Can you imagine what the heavenly chorus would sound like if we were going about talking like Stormtroopers!?
    Diva: Angel. I got this. Just... trust me and let me do my job, okay?

  • The Fad song, which had strange costumes inspired by:
    Carmen Miranda? And Elvis? And uh, Conehead? And whoever this guy is supposed to be? And here I thought drugs were discouraged from evangelical circles.

    Yellow Submarine 
  • "They trap Pepperland's protectors, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... [cue the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton] not that one, thank Lucifer..."
  • Diva holds off on handing out any punishments, as she says that the film isn't actually bad, just not to her tastes.note  This leaves her feeling conflicted - until...
    Diva: Can I just deal with an unnecessary sequel or a jukebox musical or... [Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the next case] Oh yes, that will do nicely, thank you!

    Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again 
  • Diva lampshading her dislike of the title song with "Not that goddamn song again!" from Major League II.

    MHTV: Golden Films' "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" 
  • When François the donkey starts heehawing while leading Melody to the barn where her mother is held, which has a straw roof:
    Melody: Is that it? Is that where they have mother?
    Diva: [as François] How should I know, all I know is that roof looks delicious!
  • Diva's reaction to the ending, where Quasimodo becomes handsome out of nowhere.
    • Shortly after she declares it the stupidest ending to an adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame ever.
    Diva: And yes, I am including the one where he gets fucking angel wings!

    MHTV: Creating Rem Lezar 
  • Zack is sent to the principal's office, who has a bust of Napoleon on his desk.
    Principal: What are we going to do about you, Zack?
    Diva: [as the principal] Napoleon is very disappointed in you, my boy.
  • Zack gives the principal a telling-off, accusing him of not caring about his children.
    Diva: [as Zack] You'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes, old man!
  • Ashlee feels unfairly treated like her mother and like nobody understands her.
    Ashlee: Why can't they understand? Rem Lezar...
    Diva: They might understand if you weren't speaking in tongues.
  • Ashlee proves to Zack that she knows about Rem Lezar by showing him a picture of him she made.
    Diva: [as Zack] She knows. I'll have to kill her now.
  • When Zack and Ashlee decide that they need to get Rem Lezar a medallion to bring him to life, lightning strikes outside.
    Diva: Thou shalt not make graven images of Rem Lezar!

    Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night 
  • Diva warns the Emperor that he should tread lightly in his agreement with Pinocchio or the wrong move could undo his evil scheme. ...Then the Emperor does mess it up and goes back on his word. Diva has every right to play the Mass Facepalm clip.

    The Lion King (2019) 
  • The Actor Allusion once Zazu's "morning report" starts:
    Our main story tonight concerns peacocks, the drag queens of the animal kingdom!
  • "Sweet Lucifer, what have they done to 'Be Prepared'?!" Diva is appalled that Scar's Villain Song was replaced with a monotonous rant that ends with him just screaming the title of the song... and she thusly dubs it "the Trump Twitter account of villain songs."
  • Once the Hula scene is replaced with "Be Our Guest", Diva is rightfully enraged:
    Diva: No! Bad movie, bad! You go sit in a corner with Descendants and think about what you've done!

     Cats (2019) 
  • The segment with other reviewers discussing the movie, highlighted by Emily of Stealing Focus breaking into "Memories" and finishing off by saying "That's why I'm a dog person".
  • "They really, really do not want to know what this movie's version of a dog looks like."

    Basmati Blues 
  • Diva's description of "When Tomorrow Comes" as a bad vacation advertisement:
    Diva: Pretend to get cultured with Non-Threatening Travels, for people who want to see the world without engaging in it.
  • Diva describes the romance between Linda and Rajit:
    Diva: I've just realized something. If you take all the tired, overused romantic comedy beats and mix them up at random, they're still tired and overused.
  • Diva's opinion on the scene where Linda visits Rajit in prison:
    Linda: I don't know why I even came here...
    Diva: I don't know why you did either. What was the purpose of that scene?!
  • Her explaination of why William had a change of heart in the third act:
    Diva: The train is stalled by William because... something, something, his father, I don't know. Rajit and Linda were changing their attitudes every scene, he probably felt left out.

    Descendants 3 
  • Diva closes by saying that she's going on a furious rant, and nobody will stop her! Then soon after she starts, Christi cuts the feed for an announcement, even asking that no one let Diva know she is being interrupted (and indeed, when it returns to her in an Orphaned Punchline, she doesn't even notice).

    MHTV: Noah's Ark 
  • The evil king is introduced yelling about how he doesn't have enough treasure.
    Diva: Jeff Bezos looks at his account balance.
  • Princess Rachel is horrified when she finds out that her father has arranged for her to be married against her will.
    Diva: [as Rachel] I'm starting to think you're not a very nice greedy tyrannical monarch!
    • Even better, her new husband-to-be is named King Colossus.
      Diva: All I’ll say is a guy named Colossus must be compensating for something…

    The Country Bears 
  • Diva loses her train of thought while comparing the scene of the wager of Zeb's honey tab against the band's bus in a musical "duel" to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia":
    Diva: Can I just point out how grossly inaccurate that song is? Very few demons actually own golden fiddles, and those that do are certainly not offering them up as stakes in soul transactions!... Sorry, where was I?
  • After two bad Disney live-action musicals in a row, Diva pleads for something different, anything different... having learned nothing from tumbling headfirst into Tempting Fate at the end of several previous cases:
    Diva: This session of the infernal court in Musical Hell is now adjourned, and please let the next case be anything but a bad Disney cash grab... [realises her poor choice of words] No. No, I didn't mean anything, don't you dare use that as an excuse to send me something truly heinous like [the next case is revealed to be Music] oh, for fuck's sake!

    MHTV: Rolf Kauka's Once Upon a Time 
  • Diva's opinion on the movie's take on "Hallelujah" during the scene Mary-Lou's mother and Mr. Bottle are "married":
    Diva: Wow, Handel's first draft was a bit of a mess. (...) I'm not sure if this is a cold Hallelujah, but it's definitely a broken one.
  • The Running Gag of Diva commentating that Mr. Bottle does not drink from a bottle, despite either the narration or Mr. Bottle talking about how he drinks from one.
    Mr. Bottle: Have you seen my bottle?
    Diva: I haven't seen your bottle!

    Mulan II 
  • According to Diva, the character's full name is 'Bisexual Icon Li Shang'. She later amends 'General Bisexual Icon Li Shang'.

    Cinderella (2021) 
  • The mere presence of James Corden is enough for Diva to give the film a sin. When she's giving the sentences, she declares Corden shall alienate those around him until he dies un-mourned. ...before she remarks this isn't a sentence: she was just stating the obvious.

     Vox Lux 
  • As Diva begins her intro, suddenly La Femme Fictionale pops into Hell with a rather blase attitude, explaining that having lived in Texas in July with no air conditioning, she's not concerned about the heat.
  • Diva tears into how the film's school shooting perpetuates some myths about Columbine like the shooter being a tragic misfit and the girl whose parents claimed tried to pray with the shooter only to be killed, with no true evidence that occurred.
    La Femme: So are you going to get in trouble if we skip ahead? I just...I don't feel like snarking on something so atrocious yet so normalized.
    Diva: Look, I may be a demon but I have standards.

    Charming 
  • The way Lenore's curse to never be loved causes many plotholes and makes Diva lose her cool.
    Diva: THIS. MAKES. NO. FUCKING. SENSE.
  • The ending also warrants Sin #10: FUCK THIS ENDING
    Diva: Sweet Lucifer, I hate this movie SO MUCH!

    Saturday's Warrior 
  • Donna returns, not exactly with her superiors' blessing, to persuade Diva to take aim at the 2016 film version of this musical about the Mormon community. Diva agrees, but on one condition:
    Diva: [listlessly, as Danse macabre plays as usual] Greetings, mortals, welcome to another session in the infernal court of Musical Hell, I'm Diva, ["Psst!"] your judge, jury, executioner, ["PSST!"] and [Record Needle Scratch] what is that, is there a sulphur leak in here!?
    Donna: Over here!
    Diva: Donna? What the here is this? No celestial strains of Mozart? No "Salutations and blessings upon thee"?
    Donna: Well, I... know how very busy you are these days, I didn't want to rudely intrude on your schedule!
    Diva: You're here off the record, aren't you?
    Donna: ... My visit might be somewhat less than officially sanctioned, yes.
    Diva: Huh... all right, I could use a bit of novelty, what's the story, holy glory?
    Donna: It seems there's a production that certain members of my faction are eager to see come before your tribunal, and... well, here. [the poster for Saturday's Warrior appears]
    Diva: Sweet Lucifer, is that Saturday's Warrior!? Are you trying to get me on the Latter-Day Saints' shit list?! You know those Kirton McConkie lawyers make ours look principled, right?
    Donna: I know, but... it's not a very good musical! And honestly, someone needs to say it!
    Diva: So why don't you tell them? Mormons have that thing where literally any of them can receive divine revelation! Just show up to some random Salt Lake City tour guide and-
    Donna: They don't actually listen to us! It took decades to get anywhere with them on the matter of race, and we haven't even gotten to square one where women are concerned! Besides, it might actually soften the blow coming from your end. If they don't like it, they can just dismiss it as your normal evil routine.
    Diva: [sighs heavily] Figures that I end up doing your dirty work. Fine, but you're joining me!
    Donna: What? No! I-I'm just the messenger!
    Diva: So, help me message some context into this LDS trip! You can always claim I forced you into it.
    Donna: Oh... all right, but don't expect me to be happy about it!
    Diva: What can I say, misery loves company.
  • Donna's black comedic take on some aspects of the film's theology shocks even Diva:
    [as future romantic partners Todd and Julie are offered the chance to be born into the same family, their initial enthusiasm for which quickly fades as the implications sink in]
    Donna: No, it's fine, you'll go down first to one of those fundamentalist sects, she'll be the daughter of your second or third wife, and you can take it from there!
    Diva: [stunned] Sweet Lucifer, even I thought that was dark!
    Donna: I've read Under the Banner of Heaven, it... tends to stay with you.
  • Eventually, Donna reaches breaking point, giving us our first taste of Musical Heavenly wrath:
    [after Jim has just heard over the phone that his sister Pam has died from post-surgical complications, or, as Diva describes it, Too Good for This Sinful Earth syndrome]
    Donna: So... we are led to understand that Pam's brief life of suffering and tragedy did indeed have a purpose, and that purpose was to be a saintly model disabled person who exists to inspire those more fortunate, before dying for the express purpose of shaming her prodigal brother back into the fold?
    Diva: That's the long and the short of it, yeah.
    Donna: But that... that's horrible! That's monstrous! That's a level of deliberate sadism and callous indifference we'd normally expect from your end! The mother in "Christmas Shoes" had it better than that!
    Diva: [chuckles] Yes, let the hate flow through you!
    Donna: [as a Bolt of Divine Retribution sounds in the background, her face is blurred by a Lens Flare, and her voice becomes heavily reverberant] Where are the ones called Doug Stewart and Lex de Azevedo!? The wrath of the heavens shall be [thunderclap] poured out upon them! [more thunder] Their sufferings shall endure even unto the seventh generation!
    Diva: Aaaand that's enough hate flowing for now.
  • When a woman in the park turns away the missionaries by saying that she doesn't speak English, Diva immediately declares her to be the best character in the movie.

    Playmobil: The Movie 
  • Because the original review was taken down for copyright reasons, Christi uploaded a different version of the video, with some changes. The new video replaced the footage of the movie with footage from all kinds of older movies, and any scenes where dialogue was used was replaced by Christi reenacting the scenes with her own Playmobil figures, a LEGO minifigure, and figures of Flynn Rider, Gypsy, and Tom Servo, in addition to changing the dialogue to reflect her feelings on the movie. Some highlights include...
  • Diva describes Del as Han Solo without the charm or style.
  • When Diva reaches the point of describing the moment in which the T. Rex, having at this point been heavily built up long before its eventual reveal to be one of the strongest and most utterly dangerous and scary creatures in the entire Playmobil world, finally steps into the light and actually gets seen by the viewers...well let's just say that, in Diva's point of view, Terrifying Tyrannosaur this is not.
    Diva: This isn't scary! This looks like the gay cousin of Rex from Toy Story!

    Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 
  • Diva wonders if there's Zed x Addison x Aspen fanfic out there, but doesn't want to seek it out for the sake of her remaining sanity.
  • The aliens reveal their planet was destroyed after years of careless environmental destruction. Diva awkwardly asks if they have advice on how to escape when something like that happens. "Asking for a... friend planet."
  • Due to the alliterative pattern with the supernatural characters' names, Diva assumes Bucky and Bri to be banshees or Babadooks.
  • When Addison reveals Earth is the aliens' utopia, a clip from the "It Was Earth All Along" song plays. Then Diva adds the reveal as a sin ("Sin 8: Are you kidding?"), calling out the unnecessarily complicated map with, "It's not a fucking escape room!"
  • At the end of the review, Diva rhetorically asks what could be lazier than the film's half-assed racism allegories, falling headfirst into Tempting Fate yet again:
    [a poster for Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory appears with the caption "NEXT CASE"]
    Diva: [deflated] I had to ask...

    Hoodwinked 
  • "So Red fends The Wolf off with kung fu… [sighs] Yeah, it’s one of those fairy tale retellings…"

    The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure 
  • Diva sins "They were the last five magical balloons in all of Lovely Loveville!" as the single stupidest line she's ever heard on the series.
  • Diva describes J. Edgar's crush on Windy Window as "wanting to find out if her drapes match her carpet." Cue booing sound effects.
    Diva: Tasteless comments are the only thing keeping me sane right now!
  • When Milky Marvin insists the Oogieloves moo to get their milkshakes, Diva plays a clip of Maureen Johnson saying "Moo with me!"
  • Diva remarks that "Rules-Lawyer Llama" (referencing the llama who prevents the Oogieloves from biking or running on the grass) is A Good Name for a Rock Band.
