* AccidentalMisnaming: Critic constantly calls Gene "Meh", after the emoji he's supposed to be. Even when we edits in two clips where characters call him Gene out loud. Whether or not Critic actually didn't learn his real name, or if he's just maliciously naming him something else and he's just that good at sarcasm, is up for interpretation.

* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: Unlike most previous reviews of current entertainment, the heavily-requested ''Emoji Movie'' doesn't have any sort of nostalgic tie-in, but the Critic decides to review it anyway, since he sees it "becoming a nostalgic landmark of heinousness". He ends up regretting this later on, when he made [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS11E18 an obligatory review of]] ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby''.

* FridgeLogic:[[invoked]] The Critic applies this to the concept behind Textopolis:
-->'''Critic:''' In fact, if phones have souls living in them, does that mean that the machines they use also have souls living in them? ''(focusing on the toaster emoji character)'' Do the gears inside that toaster also have little toasters inside a town called Toastopolis? Is anyone who made this realizing how stupid this all was yet?

-->'''Critic:''' Hey, is it "Creepy-Ass O'Clock" already? ''(checks his phone -- it is.)''
* SubvertedCatchPhrase: The Critic forgoes his usual opening line, preferring to text some mean-spirited emojis directed at his copy of the movie instead. He closes the review by saying, "I'm the Nostalgia Critic, [[TemptingFate and I deserve to be challenged by a more creatively bad movie!]]"
