History Film / AngryVideoGameNerdTheMovie

* PrecisionFStrike: "WHERE THE FUCK IS ET?!" is exclaimed by one of the webcam fans during the opening credits.

* {{Angrish}}: Mandy becomes incomprehensible after Death Mwauthzyx uses the chick magnet on her.

* ColbertBump: This in-universe example is pretty much the reason how the plot kicks off. Mandy at Cockburn Inc takes notice to the Nerd making a game very popular, no matter how horrible of a game it actually is, and decided to try to sell a really bad sequel to Eee Tee and get the Nerd to review it just so it can guarantee their sales. As a microcosm to this, the Nerd trashes War Duty 3000 in front of his fan/customer at Game Cops and even spits at the box. Said fan/customer suddenly buys the game the Nerd just trash talked and spat on.

* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:Mandy]] spends half the movie captured by [=McButter=] and her men, which she uses to [[PityTheKidnapper troll them]], and at the end when the [[spoiler:Nerd and Cooper]] refuse to save her she [[DamselOutOfDistress frees herself]], just to be captured again thanks to the chick magnet.

* DesignatedGirlFight: Double subverted, [[spoiler: Mandy tried to avoid a girl fight with [=McButter=], but ended up having one anyway.]]
* DirtyOldMan: Zandor turns his TV down when he hears the Nerd and Mandy getting their game on (literally, they were playing an NES game with a floor mat controller), only turning it back up when he thinks their playing around is getting a little ''too'' kinky.

'''Mandy:''' Okay! don't get your panties in a wad!\\

* YesNoAnswerInterpretation: When Mandy gives the Nerd her proposal to endorse the sequel to ''Eee Tee'', he spends several seconds projectile vomiting over her. After he's done, she says "So that's a yes?"
* YouCanKeepHer: Watered-down version where Nerd kind of wants to rescue Mandy, but decides to focus on his current task instead, throwing a token insult at the kidnapper and hoping that things work out without him.

*** When the Nerd and Cooper first enter [=GameCops=], there's a cardboard cutout advertising ''Eee Tee 2'', with the company names Actifiction (Creator/{{Activision}}) and Funsoft (the aforementioned Sunsoft).

* TheCameo: The scene where [[spoiler:the alien summons every E.T. cartridge in the world to him]] is basically a montage of cameos, including Creator/LloydKaufman and Creator/DougWalker.[[note]]The Nostalgia Critic singles out this cameo as the best performance of the film[[/note]]

* CaptainErsatz: The movie couldn't get the rights to the actual E.T. property, so they stuck with a altered lookalike under the name "Eee Tee", and all the "game footage" is animated by hand. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUsQmYRfynw seven-minute segment available on YouTube]] (spoiler alert on that) has no such restriction, and thus uses the real game and the real footage.

* ColbertBump: This in-universe example is pretty much the reason how the plot kicks off. Mandy at Cockburn Inc takes notice to the Nerd making a game very popular, no matter how horrible of a game it actually is, and decided to try to sell a really bad sequel to Eee Tee and get the Nerd to review it just so it can guarantee their sales.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:The Eee Tee cartridge's chip reforms itself. Later, it's revealed that the alien metal has the ability to bind with itself, foreshadowing that the chips ''are'' the alien metal.]]

* WritingAroundTrademarks: The movie understandably couldn't get the rights to use the actual ''E.T.'' and its namesake, so they used an {{Expy}} under the similar name "Eee Tee".

-->'''[=McButter=]:''' "Put your hands on the car, NOW!"
-->'''Mandy:''' "Okay! don't get your panties in a wad!"
-->'''[=McButter=]:''' "I'm not wearing panties!"

-->'''[=McButter=]''': "The diversion didn't work sir."
-->'''Dark Onward:''' "You should've put her into something more provocative! How the hell can you use her as bait if she's dressed in causal attire?"

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: In one scene, the Nerd briefly questions why the word "debris" isn't pronounced the way it is spelled (like "DEH-bris" instead of "duh-BREE").

-->'''Alien''': "I came here in search for intelligent life."
-->'''Nerd''': "Guess you found it."
-->'''Alien''': "I found life. Yes."
-->'''Nerd''': "Very funny."
* NotSoDifferent: Onward points out that both he and the Nerd want all copies of Eee Tee destroyed, for different reasons, and bargains with him so they can both have their wish. [[spoiler:This deal may have caused the Nerd to realize that he's behaving like Onward, prompting him to overcome his phobia of the game.]]

-->"There's more people being bound up in this film than ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''!"

--> '''[=McButter=]:''' [[spoiler:Double-paned, sir.]]

** [[spoiler:[=McButter=]'s DisneyVillainDeath]] is a rather hilarious shout-out to Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII, which the Nerd reviewed in 2007.
** [[Film/BackToTheFuture ''They've found it. I don't know how, but they've found it!'']]
*** In that same scene, Nerd clinging to the chain-link fence and [[BigNo screaming NOOO!]] is very reminiscent of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.
*** There's another shout-out to ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' in the Barcade scene. When the Nerd says to the bartender, "Gimme a Rock ... Rolling," it's in the exact same cadence as when George [=McFly=] asked for a "milk ... chocolate."

* ShroudedInMyth: Well, the movie's tagline which is repeated to clarify it's about ''Eee Tee'' is "Worst game. Greatest game story". [[spoiler:The myths are greatly exaggerated. See TwistEnding.]]

* StockScream: The Wilhelm Scream can be heard during the CarChase.
** This was [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in a scene that was in the script, but not included in the final cut.
--> Nerd: "That scream! It's in [[PunctuatedForEmphasis every! Fucking! Movie!]]"

* {{Unfortunate Name|s}}: Bernie Cockburn. His company "Cockburn Inc." doubles as AtrociousAlias.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Eee Tee:]] Continuing from his Spielberg games review, The Nerd fears the Eee Tee video game, to the point where it gives him multiple nightmares, and just watching a remake of it causes him to vomit within seconds. [[spoiler: It turns out to not be as bad as he thought it was.]]
* WritingAroundTrademarks: The movie understandably couldn't get the rights to use the actual E.T. and its namesake, so they used an {{Expy}} under the similar name "Eee Tee".
