The way weekly releases are set up for ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'' since its 2013 revival follows a specific pattern: a shorter, less emotional episode with little involvement from other actors (such as a list, an editorial, or a neutral retrospective on a movie rather than a scathing riff) will come between larger, sketch-heavy reviews. This allows more prep time for sketches in longer episodes and to give the recurring actors some time off. However, there are still episodes in the "larger episode" spot, and even some "smaller episodes" with less heavy content than usual. This is usually to allow Doug and company to prepare for particularly high-effort episodes, such as crossovers, clipless reviews, or [[WhamEpisode episodes that further certain story arcs.]]

* “Top 12 Santa Clauses” is a sweet list of his favorite Santa characters, in between the [[Film/ManOfSteel episode]] that Doug worked 28 hours on with no sleep editing and all the CameBackWrong-ness of ''Film/EightCrazyNights'' review.
* ''Film/FaceOff'' is a rare example of a WhamEpisode turning far lighter, as Doug had planned it to be both Tamara's introduction and Rachel's goodbye with {{cat fight}}ing, a special effect with Rachel's face morphing into Tamara's and Rachel being sent to California in a box. But because he deleted the footage, the review is a lot more of giggly snarking in front of a wall and a lot less sending Rachel off.
* Enforced but subverted in "Disney Afternoon". Critic sets the studio up like his childhood bedroom because he wants a nostalgia binge to escape from everything ([[http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/nc-alice-in-wonderland-6758886 after an episode dedicated to his crazy]]), but his abuse of Malcolm and Tamara and his own sad oddness keep getting in the way.
* Also subverted by the commercials, as both Doug and Critic confirmed they happen when Critic needs a break and Critic's always {{manchild}} excited for them, but they've always been DarkerAndEdgier, ranging from near DeathByDespair to skits about abusive parents that are based on his own.

* After the depressing ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', ''Film/AfterEarth'' is a lot lighter, with no storyline, no angst or fucked up jokes from Critic, Malcolm and Tamara relegated to bittier parts than usual, and Shyamalan not being a threat unlike his last two appearances.
* ''SmallSoldiers'' is a simple rant on a movie coming off two big crossovers (Bloodrayne with Linkara, Spoony and Snob, Purge with Film Brain and Rob Paulsen/Maurice [=LaMarche=]), and with a scary SequelHook for ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' involving Hyper Fangirl.
* ''Care Bears Nutcracker'' only has Malcolm and Tamara appear at the beginning trying to help Critic out of his post-Christmas funk (and a quick horn joke later), and is a very short review about the very harmless ''Care Bears'' franchise. This, after ''Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer'' had Critic terrifying Malcolm and Tamara with how crazy he was, and ''A Christmas Story II'' had the return of Hyper Fangirl stalking him.
* Lampshaded in ''Film/MammaMia'', as Malcolm and Tamara leave him at the start because nobody is going to watch him try and do a ChickFlick considering his history with girl stuff. This is also after WhamEpisode ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'' which actually resolved a [[PlotThreads Plot Thread]] [[KudzuPlot for once]].
* ''Film/EventHorizon'' is a basic review after ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee''-effort ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', crossover ''Film/TheSmurfs'' and lampshaded pandering clipless review of ''Film/{{Pixels}}''.
* Ironically given how high energy clipless reviews usually are, and what the trailer promised, but ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' is just Snob and Critic watching a re-enacted version of the film. This, after the very personal, very continuity-driven, very character focus ''Film/ChristmasWithTheKranks''.
* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPlutoNash'', sandwiched in between two gargantuan-effort reviews. It's acknowledged in-universe as well, as they all want a day off (Malcolm and Tamara to drink, Critic to get ready for a review he actually wants to do) are mad at you for wanting work that they'll half-ass.
