Release: November 3, 2009

Film: Congo (1995)

This review contains examples of:

  • Call-Back: To the exposition song used in the Casper review.
  • Captain Obvious: The Critic sarcastically remarks that the scientists are brilliant to put together that Amy is not Mr. Ed and that drawings of the jungle equal drawings of the jungle.
  • Escalating Punchline: Tickle-Me Amy. Tickle Amy. Tickle Amy lower. Grab Amy's genetalia. Spank. Amy. Spank Amy hard. Call. Amy. Bad girl. SHIT ON AMY. SHIT ON AMY'S FACE. GIVE. AMY. GOLDEN SHOWER. FUCK AMY. FUCK AMY FOR HOURS. AMY LOVE YOU LOOOONG TIME.
  • Fun with Subtitles: The review starts off with the Critic "speaking" to the viewer without actually talking, but with him gesturing and grunting like a gorilla, with all of what he is trying to say being "translated" by subtitles. It's only when he actually sees the movie he's reviewing in this episode (and freaking out because of it, again, like a gorilla), does he stop and compose himself to explaining normally.
  • Inferred Holocaust: The Critic points out how Karen destroying the company satellite at the end of the movie (thus leaving said company to be doomed) would cause thousands of people to lose their jobs. He is quite mocking about how Karen is doing this "good deed" to teach her former boss a lesson.
  • Insult to Rocks: In his introduction to his review for this movie (which is explained in subtitles as mentioned above), the Critic thought that if he threw his own feces at the movie he's reviewing right now, the viewer would consider it an upgrade.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The Critic in the review constantly criticizes Tim Curry's attempt at mimicking a Romanian accent.
  • Toilet Humour: One of Tickle-Me-Amy's sexual fetishes is to be shit on.

"Stop eating my sesame cake!"
