This countdown contains examples of:

  • Accentuate the Negative: Mid-video, the Critic gets an idea: To have Douchy be his official fact-checker. Douchy rejects the idea because then he couldn't complain about The Nostalgia Critic.
  • Borrowed Catchphrase: Douchy says "He's the Nostalgia Critic, he remembers it so you don't have to" when the Critic is raging about Battlefield Earth at the end.
  • Break the Cutie: Critic's tiredness and frustration about over having to go over his mistakes again is noticeable even to Douchey.
  • The Cameo: When the Critic notes that there were other mistakes in the Star Trek Generations review, Linkara briefly appears and grumpily tells the viewers to go listen to the commentary on the episode.
  • Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch: Invoked; the #9 "fuck-up" is that the Critic shouldn't review the Thomas the Tank Engine movie if he hasn't seen the show. The Critic defends himself by saying that it would be unfair to say the Thomas the Tank Engine show sucks without having seen it, but as he didn't do that, he should be able to review whatever he wants, because being confused about things in a franchise can make a review funnier (he cites his Pokemon The First Movie review).
  • Continuity Nod: To the Patch Adams review; The Critic notes that Bitch Spasms, whom he killed in that episode, is still on the floor.
    Critic: ...I really should do something about that corpse.
  • History Repeats Itself: He again confuses a pot for a pan in his own fuckup video acknowledging this earlier mistake.
  • Inherently Funny Words: Discussed when talking about why he called Dunston a monkey when he's actually an ape. He says that "monkey" is just funnier than "ape", and illustrates his point by saying that "cabbage" is way funnier than "lettuce".
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Douchy is taken aback by the Critic's rage about Battlefield Earth, and tells the audience, "Pray for him" at the end of the review.
  • Shout-Out: At the end of the Bart's Nightmare segment, the Critic teases a Let's Play of Luigi's Mansion. He changes his mind when he gets gunfire in response.
  • Some of My Best Friends Are X: In response to him saying that the floor in Pee-Wee's Playhouse was the only thing that didn't talk, when in fact it did, he says that he has nothing against hard-working floors, and that some of his good friends are floors, and he has a good relationship with his own floor, Howard.
  • Take That!:
    • Critic says that kids do all sorts of stupid things because they watch Fred.
    • During the "Dunston's an ape, not a monkey" segment, the Critic argues that mixing up animals is a minor mistake. An outraged Douchy says, "MINOR?! How would you like it if I called these things (shot of a duck) a rabbit, (shot of a giraffe) a turtle, (Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller Super Bowl commercial) a good Super Bowl campaign?!" The Critic answers that he wouldn't care.
  • Tempting Fate: After addressing the #10 "fuck-up", the Critic adds, "On the plus side, at least we don't have to put up with that horrible Dr. Bitch Spasms again." Subverted when nothing happens afterward.
    Critic: Yeah, I bet you thought he was gonna come in and do something funny, but nope! I shot him! He's dead! He's right there lying on the floor... I really should do something about that corpse.
