Tropes
- Actually Pretty Funny: Geri Halliwell's cameo in Come Fly With Me was the only thing he found funny.
- Bait-and-Switch: He names the number one worst movie of 2012 as Life of Pi, before realising that the annoucer said the wrong film, and quickly changes it to the real entry: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2.
- Caustic Critic: Goes without saying. Although it's worth noting he can like some of the stuff he sees.
- The Cameo:
- The Horror Guru of Geekvision is the announcer in his Best & Worst Movies of 2012 videos.
- In his crossover with Welshy, Sad Panda appears in a brief cameo.
- Trilbee himself makes an animated cameo in the first episode of 42 Gerinomo Lane
, courtesy of Five Who Fans (starts around 2:47 in the video).
- Creator's Pet: His opinion on Rose to Russell T. Davies.
- Crossover:
- Did one
on "Boom Town" with Welshy of Channel Awesome fame.
- Did one with the Five Who Fans, with the video being "Why I love Martha Jones
".
- Did one
- Designated Hero:
- His view on Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, stating "there's a difference between being a relatable teenage outcast and being a dick".
- He seems to have that attitude with Rose, thinking she is a Clingy Jealous Girl.
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: One of the many things he hated about "Asylum of the Daleks" (and the Moffat era in general) was how women hitting men was Played for Laughs. He believes that the episode soured Amy Pond as a character by making her a Domestic Abuser.
- Dude, Not Funny!: His thoughts
on the movie A Long Way Down, in which he lambastes the movie for its mean-spirited screenplay, unlikable characters, and for mocking various sensitive subjects, such as suicide, cancer, cancer survivors, Survivor's guilt, the physically/mentally disabled, pedophilia, etc. At the end of his review, he states he could have had the chance to joke about "jumping off a building" rather than seeing the movie again, but refuses to based on how tragic suicide actually is.
- Face Palm: Happens in response to a line in "World War Three" where
Rose suggesting for her, the Doctor and Harriet Jones to hide from a nuclear blast inside a normal wooden cupboard.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Invoked. Points out that Kristen Stewart having an affair behind Robert Pattinson's back is no different to Bella falling in love with Jacob while romantically involved with Edward in the Twilight books.
- Head Desk: Bangs his head against a cupboard in response to Rose wishing she had a compression field so she could fit in a smaller size dress in "World War Three".
- Noodle Implements: In this video
, he responds to the 1985 cancellation of the show (which it later returned from) by penning a letter to Michael Grade. We initially hear him starting the letter, but then a Sound-Effect Bleep covers the rest of the letter before we hear the final sentence of "... with a Dalek sink plunger".
- Used again in his Top 10 Worst Movies of 2012
, when talking about Paranormal Activity 4, beginning with "This movie is a piece of shi-" before a Sound-Effect Bleep covers the rest of his rant, before allowing us to hear the last line of ".. with a coffee flask!".
- Used again in his Top 10 Worst Movies of 2012
- Obligatory Joke: He starts his review
of "The Curse of the Black Spot" by apologising to the audience for the obvious joke, and plays "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" over a montage of clips from the episode.
- Running Gag
- A Big "WHAT?!" whenever a
plot hole or dumb moment occurs. Eventually resulted in a series exploring said moments called, you guessed it, "Doctor What?!".
- Whenever a Title Drop occurs:
- A Big "WHAT?!" whenever a
- Stupid Sexy Flanders: Has a very big mancrush on Rupert Graves.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His reaction to the Daleks losing their memories of the Doctor in "Asylum of the Daleks".
