- Gainax Ending: Parodied at the end of her epic four-part Transformers-Armageddon-Bratz review: She and the Nostalgia Critic chloroform each other and fall unconscious; Ma-Ti walks on stage and kicks them four times, shouting, "Heart! Stomach! Liver! Spleen!", then looks at the viewer and intones, "I can sense you."

- Gay Panic: When Mulan is found out to be a woman, she acts out Shang being really glad that he's still straight.

- The Generic Guy: On a list mostly full of sexy bad boys, Eric from The Little Mermaid gets this slot for just being nice, rich and handsome.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Look a little closer at those images during the slowed-down "Chipmunk Song." Yup, thats a silhouette of a dragon graphically fucking a car, visible cum and all. The radar in this case being Blip.com, who probably would not have let that through if they'd noticed.
- Girl Show Ghetto: Invoked through her getting out of it. She even said in a blog post that although she, Marz Gurl and That Chick With The Goggles were brought in to bring more female fans on the site, women fans were still watching the guys and didn't start seeing her stuff as well until she started doing more unisex-type shows.
- She had this to say on Jem: "Little girl nostalgia doesn't penetrate the outside culture quite so much. I don't think we're going to be seeing any Michael Bay threequels starring Megan Fox this year."

- In-character, Nella plays shamelessly with her My Little Pony toys, while Maven and the Chick have a bit more embarrassment about still owning cuddly things.
- Girls Night Out Episode: Her review of "The Little Mermaid" could be seen as this due to all the female appearances. The only guy cameoing is Todd in the Shadows and that's to serve the joke of why Chick is a man-hater now.

- Go Mad From the Revelation: Lindsay, Nella and Oancitizen's reaction to Freddy Got Fingered.(and according to the commentary, everyone in the collective session to watch the film broke too) It involves screaming, mayonnaise sprays, and sausages - with an added Heroic BSOD in Oan's case.

- Grandmother Clause: Her show was around before the usual TGWTG stinger of the Channel Awesome logo and a funny line from the movie. As this would mess with her own usual stinger of an outtake from the review, she doesn't do it.

- Despite her panning of it, she's fond of Newsies.
Chick: You gotta feel a little something when you have thoughts of siezing days and carrying banners overtaking your mind and thinking "Hey, was that kid's Doogie Howser's BFF?" Maybe this movie is remembered fondly by some because sometimes you want an incredibly clean fairytale of New York rather than the grimy reality that it was. Sometimes you want ripped, half-dressed, nubile boys who sing and dance and sing with ridiculously adorably awful New York accents. Sometimes you want to believe it can be easy to win the day and that Teddy Roosevelt will drive up at the last minute drunk out of his mind and never really needed Santa Fe after all. |
The Chick: Kate and Leopold might be the stupidest, most contrived movie ever written. The massive leaps of logic to get the characters where it wants them to be are wider than a Disney movie doing the exact same thing. But at least the Disney movies have the decency to leave poor maligned science out of the Plot Device equation. The only thing greater than the idiocy of this movie is how much I love it! |
- In-character, Moulin Rouge (despite certain scenes that press her Berserk Button). In real life, Lindsay stated that her opinion was similar to Doug's: there are a few really good scenes, but on the whole she hates it.
- If Bitchin' Kitchen is so awful, how come every Wednesday, here I am, still watching the damn thing...
- Lindsay came out with an As Herself episode of her top ten movies that she's most ashamed to like. In order; Battlefield Earth, Showgirls, Independence Day, every Meg Ryan movie from 1988 to 2002 (except You've Got Mail), Hercules, Om Shanti Om, Alienversus Predator, 2012, the first Transformers movie and The Grinch.

- Ham-to-Ham Combat: Nostalgia Chick and Nella really go all-out once they meet to settle their "Kirk vs Picard" fight.

- Harpo Does Something Funny: She refers to this instance in Aladdin as "someone let Robin Williams go all schizophrenic crack-baby on the mike".

Chick: Don't be confused! Seriously, I'm not a lez! I have a boyfriend... with a penis. |
- Healing Hands: She's not happy about She Ra doing this to her injured horse.
Nostalgia Chick Christ, now she heals the sick. Movie, would you please end before she walks on water? |
Chick: Man, that John Smith is awesome. It's like the historical John Smith wrote the screenplay. |

Chick: OH MY GOD, HE HAS GLASSES! |
- Also in She's All That, as the ugly girl is Rachael Leigh Cook, with "her already perfect body, her flawless features."
- Nella bursts in complaining that the girl Leopald has to marry being portrayed as ugly is killing her Wish Fulfillment girl!boner. She gets over it.
- Hollywood Science: WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!? She has a video entirely devoted to the various forms of how Hollywood portrays science and what to do to prevent it from going horribly wrong.

- Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Nella's My Little Pony melodrama has a "schoolteacher who is also a whore with a heart of gold".
- Hope Spot: During the Tron review, the old Nella regains control of her body and starts to nerdily gush over how awesome the movie was. But it isn't long before Dark Nella takes over again.
- Hostile Show Takeover: Dark Nella ties up the Chick and bashes Tron to get back at the geekdom that annoys her so.
- Hot Guys Are Bastards: She praises Daria for showing how bad of an idea dating the cute musician Trent would be, blissfully unaware of her own hypocrisy.
- How We Got Here: In the Jem review, parodying the use of it in the show.

- Huge Schoolgirl: In her review of Earth Girls Are Easy:
Chick: Funny how Geena Davis can still look cute and innocent despite being nine feet tall and built like an ox. |

- She knows that a lot of people like Hercules, but she really doesn't.
- No, she does--she just sees it as a Guilty Pleasure rather than a good movie.
- The Little Mermaid is shocked and appalled that she hasn't been mentioned yet.
- She can't stand Grant Morrison's run on X Men.
- She knows that a lot of people like Hercules, but she really doesn't.
- Hypocritical Humor: After Black Comedy, the team's other signature element.
- She comments that She-Ra is nothing but a knock-off of her already popular male counterpart...
- She admits that saying Beauty and the Beast is one of her favorite movies period is a little ironic right after her Disney Princess rant.
- All over the place in her Grease 2 review. She complains about the movie rewriting the script while shooting, and then does exactly that, she tries to write the Makeover Fairy out of the review like the movie did with Frenchie, and at the end she says that nobody would want to watch something that's exactly the same as its predecessor but with the genders reversed, which is, of course, exactly what the Makeover Fairy subplot is to her first Grease review.
- She calls out Disney for shitty puns and ignores Nella saying she likes them, but she's made a fair amount of Incredibly Lame Puns herself.
- Hilariously done in her and Lupa's review of "Honor & Glory". The man-hating feminist is on Team Edward.
- She calls Sarah Michelle Gellar's cameo in She's All That stupid. Cue Oancitizen, Obscurus Lupa, and Todd in the Shadows making cameos for the sole purpose of saying cameos are lame.
- Shoving aside Elisa's (and Minion's) attempts at a gay kiss, espousing, "We have standards, goddammit, we'll use our intellect!" — as she's pushing up her bra.
- Hypocrisy Nod: "What do you do when your main character is unpleasant, judgmental and mean?"
- In "The Top 11 Animated Villainesses", she gives an unabashed Take That to furries. In the X-Men review when she's on Truth Serum, she has a fangirl meltdown over Beast. She's also admitted that the other Beast has his appeal. And the most damning: her sexual awakening was Batty.
- She calls Fagin in Oliver and Company a complete idiot because kidnapping always leaves a trace. Um, ma'am...?
- Taken to new heights in "Sleepless In Seattle vs. When Harry Met Sally". When the Chick describes the plot of SIS as Meg Ryan being a stalker, only to correct herself that it's romantic instead, Todd gives that reason for why he hates it. Chick calls him out on his hypocrisy (which he's unaware of) and she's also unaware that the description matches her to a tee as well.
- She praises Daria for showing that Trent (the musician) is only attractive in theory as musicians tend to be assholes who lower your standards. ...this should be self-explanatory.
- Downplayed in Milo and Otis. Lindsay wouldn't dream of hurting Kali, so after the scenes of animal abuse, the Chick dresses Mignon up in a princess costume and makes her dance to Monty Python.
- Ever notice that while she bitched at the PAAAAAINK Means Feminine trope in The Smurfette Principle, both her phone and a lot of her clothes are the color?
- When she hates Patriotic Fervor, after being pretty Eagle Land-ish herself. Of course, Michael Bay is serious in his racism against other countries and she's playing it for laughs...
- I Am Not Leonard Nimoy: She has a tendency to refer to characters by the names of the actors who play them.

Chick: Get on the bird... get on the bird... get on the fucking bird. |
- I'll Be in My Bunk: Nella throws one of these down when discussing Kate and Leopold:
Nella: This is seriously killing my Wish Fulfillment boner. Why am I even watching this again? |
- Impossibly Tacky Clothes: During the Jem review, the Makeover Fairy once again hits everyone (including herself) with an appropriate makeover, resulting in everyone wearing ridiculous Jem-like outfits and facepaint.
- Incest Subtext: She sees a fair amount of creepiness in the father/daughter subplot in The Baby Sitters Club.
- Incredibly Lame Pun: In her Pocahontas review, putting words in John Smith's mouth:
Nostalgia Chick: ...and by that I mean I'd like to poke-your-hontas, heh. [Cringes from booing and catcalls.] |
- Dune:
So, the Spice is somehow secreted by these worms and only on this one planet. One might say it's a...Spice World? |
- One of The Baby Sitters Club' girls has her study worries put to rest with a mnemonic rap. No, really.
Nostalgia Chick: Well, I guess that (w)raps up this subplot! |
- In regards to movies doing it, even though Nella enjoys bad puns, the Chick can't see why anybody would like them.
- Played straight in her Mulan review.
Nostalgia Chick: I had a HUNch he was nearby. |
- In Hocus Pocus: "Thackary has a [1]" and so on.
- In Name Only: Pointed out In-Universe.
- Admits that the Bratz has absolutely nothing to do with the toyline.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: She says that Gary Oldman's character in The Fifth Element has too many dopey moments to be considered a good antagonist.
- Infant Immortality: Averted. One of her parody commercials has a doll called Baby Death Wish...
- When the chick from Brother Bear II is trying to hold onto the Bratty Half-Pint to stop his death, Chick tries to convince her to let him drop.
- Informed Attractiveness: She asks why Sarah Jessica Parker always gets the role of the "hot", boy-crazy airhead.
- The Chick also has trouble buying City of Angels' claim that Nicolas Cage is supposed to be incredibly attractive
Meg Ryan: You're so beautiful... |
- Likewise, she can't imagine John Malkovich as the ladies man Dangerous Liaisons makes him out to be.
- Inherently Funny Words: Oeuvre. (or "Oophruhh")
- Ink Suit Actor: On the commentary for the "Top Five Least Worst Disney Sequels" while discussing the shitty animation, Lindsay and Todd complain that the Genie looks far too Homer-ish in the Return Of Jafar.
- In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You: "In Soviet Russia, Chick remembers you!"
- Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons: "Sean Connery: lover, fighter, fuckin' dragon."
- Instant Sedation: The Critic goes down within seconds from her chloroforming him and she goes unconscious just as quickly when he tranquilizes her later. Falls under Rule of Funny.
- Dark Nella goes down even faster in the review of The Craft.
- Interspecies Romance: She notes that this is generally a Bad Idea regarding manmade nonhumans, complete with a healthy dose of intentional hypocrisy as she owns a Sex Bot now.
Nostalgia Chick: Don't put your dick in it. I feel like I shouldn't have to state this one, but it seems like some guys will put their peepees in just about anything, so let me spell it out for you, in case you're now confused. Don't put your dick in it. *caption pops up with the ":(" emoticon* |
- Double Standard: She also notes that characters generally come out fine when the human-made nonhuman is putting their dick in you.
- She refuses to let Mignon to make out with her.
- Irony: The Les Misérables singalong gets even funnier if you know who's playing what character: the Chick is playing Valjean [2], JewWario is playing the Knight Templar Jalvert, the guy with Chronic Hero Syndrome is singing about looting dead bodies, Elisa and Lupa are in a lesbian romance with Todd still pining away, and the Critic could never be accused of being a Celibate Hero or a Wide-Eyed Idealist.
- The "gender war" song between Chick and Critic in The Chipmunk Adventure is blatantly mocking gender stereotypes anyway, but gets even better when we and they both know she's The Ladette and he's a Sissy Villain.
- I Take Offense to That Last One: Nella calls the Chick a pitiful, judgmental, nerdy shut-in. The Chick is most concerned about being called nerdy.
- I Thought It Meant: In Anastasia, she initially confuses Vladimir Lenin with John Lennon.
- It Gets Better: In-universe. Cinderella III has a disgustingly cute five minutes, but then becomes probably the best Disney sequel. (That isn't The Rescuers Down Under.)
- It Got Worse: At least before Nella was getting paid to put up with abuse. According to Sister Act though, she's now having to do it for free. Only good news is that she's trying to complain about it.
- The Chick's obsession with Todd is a gloriously funny trainwreck. Just when you think she can't make herself look any crazier, she goes to a new low.
- Not just with Chick. It's great fun to see just how much more dysfunctional this whole set-up and characters can get.
- It's Not Supposed to Win Oscars: Defied in a different way to the Critic. While he's all about trusting kids because they're smarter than adults give them credit for, she loathes them and thinks they're stupid, but also trashes the "kid movies don't have to put any effort into them" belief.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Platonic version (and most likely acting out of self-interest as she's their boss). Nella and Elisa started out trying to help the Chick get Todd, but seeing as now they realize it's driving her crazy, Nella goes the What the Hell, Hero? route and Elisa-as-Maven tries to hypnotize her out of it. Neither have worked, but at least they're trying.
- "I Want" Song: She complains that the one in Hercules is that he just wants to be famous and that he doesn't actually want to help people.
- Jaw Drop: In Pocahontas. "I'd like to thank the racoon for chanelling the audience's reaction."
- Jerkass: Danny in Grease. “Bleeh, my reputation. What will my bros think?”
- Jerkass Has a Point: Diamanda Hagan appears during the Chick's Little Mermaid intervention to horrifyingly claim that mermaids are delicious with white wine sauce, and while it freaks out Nella and Elisa, it helps the Chick establish the fact that every sea creature in the movie is sentient and has a life and family.
- Jerk Sue: Pointed out In-Universe. "Nomi is from the honored society of the 'charming bitch' archetype. Y'know, we like her because she's tough and treats everyone like shit!"
- The Joy of X: The episode on Guilty Pleasure music is called "Blonde Girls Now and Then, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Ke$ha".
- Jump Cut: Done to mock Michael Bay's style of filming.
- Just Between You and Me: She lampshades just how dumb the The Baby Sitters Club antagonist doing this was.
Chick: Hey, I just totally gummed up the works of your plot. Now let me gloat about it in front of you so you can easily fix it. |
- Karma Houdini: In her Jem review, she claims that the funniest thing about the Misfits is that they keep doing outrageously illegal things (including attempted murder!) without anybody giving a dang.
- Kid Appeal Character: Jubilee in X Men the Animated Series:
Chick: [[[Motor Mouth]]-ing and on Truth Serum] She was the most annoying because she was the one kids were supposed to relate to. |
- Kill'Em All: Transformers: The Movie did this in the most traumatizing way possible.
- Knuckle-Cracking: In her review with Lupa, the Chick starts doing this when Lupa tries to get it into Todd's head that she'll never date him.
- Lampshade Hanging: "Inside The NChick Labs" is filled with it, making fun of her Schedule Slip, her increasing Comedic Sociopathy and penchant for Black Comedy Rape, addressing how Nella wrote the Grease subplot so she can't complain about the Makeover Fairy being bitchy, not doing her research on MacGuffins in the Dune review and of course, the "Rapping About Rape" controversy.
- Dumb comments on the previous video from people thinking that Lindsay really was fat and/or pregnant are addressed in the review of The Man in the Iron Mask when Nella asks "Are you fat? Or have you been sticking pillows up your top again?"
- The X-Men review, where Dr. Tease gives her Truth Serum to stop the episode from being "too boring", addressed the complaints that her usual style is not as... animated as her colleagues.
- Continuity errors in "The Dark Nella Saga" get big lampshades:
- The Chick's outfits don't match between the X-Men review and the exterior segment, because, as she says "I'm going to take a sad walk. I'm gonna change my shirt and take a sad walk."
- Since they're filming in a few separate places, she gets out of the fridge after Dark Nella locks her in and wonders why the kitchen looks different.
- The credits for her review of The Craft:
"Dark forces were doing strange things to my hair. Shortening it. Lengthening it. Taking it down..." |
- Lampshaded Double Entendre: Her review of Labyrinth is made of these. As she says, the movie (and especially David Bowie's Area) is just so easy to innuendo-ize...
- The Last of These Is Not Like the Others: Terminator 2, True Lies and Titanic. She points this out even more by having the scene where they run away, the scene where Jamie Lee Curtis strips and the romantic sex scene.
- Last-Second Word Swap: When talking about Tron
But Nella loved that piece of... movie! |
- Law of Disproportionate Response: Paying for a computer with innocent people's organs? Nothing to worry about. Destroying said computer with a virus? Extremely frustrating but can be forgotten. Drinking another person's beer? BEAT HIM!
- Laugh Track: She inserts one into the Grease review after Sandy's comment that Danny respects her.
- Left the Background Music On: While pretending to be Sarah from Labyrinth when she's running around.
Chick: I just gotta find that drum machine! |
- Leitmotif: "Don't Stand" plays whenever we see Sting in a galactic speedo.
- Cheery penny whistle music plays when Nella pops up unexpectedly to fangirl over something, as seen in "Dreamworks vs. Disney" and the Tron review.
- The Makeover Fairy's appearance is soundtracked by someone singing "Makeover makeover, makeover makeover, makeover makeover..."
- "You're My Best Friend" by Queen plays when the Chick is actually shown to give a shit about Nella under all that abuse.
- Let's See You Do Better: Obviously expecting this criticism, after blasting Roland Emmerich for sixteen minutes she states how much time and effort goes into film-making and how much it can suck to have bitching from someone who clearly won't be able to do better.
- Let Us Never Speak of This Again:
Nella: We DO NOT TALK about the RAPE RAP! |
- Licking the Blade: During her Fatal Attraction moment with Lupa.
- Lighter and Softer: Her main problem with The Lion King 1/2 is that it shit all over the dark tone of the first movie.
- The Fox and the Hound II gets major points off for being "Tod and Copper join a band" while the original was one of the most somber Disney pictures.
- Little No: When she discovers Beauty and The Beast The Enchanted Christmas got a blue-ray release.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: One of her many complaints about Roland Emmerich's movies.
- Losing Horns: Inserts them into the Grease II review, after a lame period-as-in-class/period-as-in-menstruation joke.
- Lost Forever: She has a frustrating habit of quietly taking down reviews she ended up not liking or were apparently too different from her usual episodes. Rapping About Rape, The Fifth Element, Dune and most depressingly, the TLC retrospective, are all gone.
- Lost My Appetite: The gory electrocution of the eels in The Little Mermaid puts her off sushi for a while.
- Love At First Note: "So in the requisite What-I-Want-From-This-Movie Song, aside from being less small, she also expresses a desire for One-True-Love or something, and who should be conveniently listening but her One True Love?"
- Love Hurts: Critic has a breakdown over not having the courage to talk to the Chick in the first "Thanks For The Feedback", and the Chick herself is basically losing her mind over her unrequited crush on Todd.
- Love Triangle: A Type-5 with the Chick as A, Todd in the Shadows as B and Obscurus Lupa as C. Linkara has been recently added to the mix apparently in love with The Nostalgia Chick and plotting to destroy Todd in the Shadows. The Critic's also involved somehow, but exactly where is anyone's guess.
- Lowest Common Denominator: In-Universe. Dreamworks caters to this with all their snark and pop culture references. She adds on to this in the commentary for the "Top Five Least Worst Disney Sequels" by calling pop culture references forced as puns (think "Jessica Shrimpson") the lowest form of humor.
- The pube and Freddie Prince Junior naked scenes in She's All That are there for the boys in the audience.
