[[AC: WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTintin]]
* Because the film adapts multiple comic titles, the usual survey of who read the books and saw the films includes a category for "Remembered reading some Tin Tin comics but not sure if it was the ones in question, I mean for goodness sake it was years ago."
* The Dom's offense at the idea of a British warship being used for cargo hauling and being captured by a smaller pirate vessel.
-->'''The Dom''': I think you'll find there's absolutely ''zero'' historical precedent for ''that'', thank you ''very'' much Mr. Hergé.

[[AC: After the Books According to Creator/JKRowling]]
* How Harry's Auror job interview might have gone, considering he never finished his seventh year at Hogwarts.
-->'''Ministry official''': Ah, Mr. Potter! So wonderful to meet you in person at last! We're all so very honored that you want to join us here at the Ministry, and so very, ''very'' grateful for everything you've done for the wizarding world... Um, the thing is, the position of Auror does actually require at least five N.E.W.T.s in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, Transfigura…[-tion. Ah.-] Uh, also, we couldn't help but notice that, on your application form, you just wrote, "I'M HARRY POTTER [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch BE-ACH]]," and included what appears to be a crude drawing of you defeating You-Know-Who, so, I mean it's, it's not exactly...y-you see, because we have to... ''(sigh)'' Follow me, I'll take you to your new office, it's on the third floor right next to the Minister's.
* Terrence considering Neville's post-books fate to be the most tragic of all, as he ended up [[FauxHorrific married to a Hufflepuff]].

[[AC: Film/TuckEverlasting]]
* "A nice, quaint little story is probably the best way to describe this book, ''if'' you're the kind of person who can use the word 'quaint' without it sounding vaguely sarcastic. Which I am probably not."
* Pointing out the actors' obvious shivering while having to pretend to be enjoying a swim.
-->'''The Dom''': Y-y-yeah, this is great, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I'm definitely not planning to PISS in the director's coffee later for making me do this]]!
* The film taking things from the book and playing them up to an extreme:
-->'''The Dom''': The Fosters happened to have a nicer-than-average cottage and owned the nearby wood? Well, now they're part of the aristocratic one-percent and SO blue-blooded they're far too good for ''regular''-sized cookies, ''thank you very much!''
* "You have no idea how clenched my buttocks were while reading this book and seeing the romance between Winnie and Jesse."
* "Not long into the movie, I started to notice some extra stuff that wasn't in the book, and I couldn't help but feel it was somehow familiar. [[FollowTheLeader Then, it hit me - like a]] ''[[Film/Titanic1997 giant iceberg]]'' [[FollowTheLeader to the face]]."

[[AC: Film/FiftyShadesDarker]]
* "The Dom really meant that [he wouldn't put himself through any more of the ''Fifty Shades'' series] when he said it. But life has a funny way of surprising you. And underestimating just how much people love to see you suffer is a terrible mistake to make."
* A rather unkempt Dom glaring at his watchers, then flicking a cigarette at the camera before [[INeedAFreakingDrink downing some alcohol]].
-->'''The Dom''': You happy now, beautiful watchers? This is what you wanted.
** "Well, it shall never be said that I am not a man of my word. My stupid, stupid, ''stupid'' word."
** [[TranquilFury "I hate everyone who retweeted that tweet."]]
* "I am only human, and I'm also British, so sometimes the sarcasm just cannot be contained."
* "If you are unfortunate enough to have read it, and you noticed I described some things out of order, please forgive me... Or don't, I just read ''Fifty Shades Darker'', [[DespairEventHorizon nothing matters to me anymore]]."
* The Dom doesn't even make it through describing the first scene before [[{{Angrish}} growling]] and [[FlippingTheBird flipping the book double birds]].
* "Gosh, the guy whose name is ''Hyde'' [[MeaningfulName is actually a monster underneath a friendly exterior]]. [[SarcasmMode You are a]] ''[[SarcasmMode master]]'' [[SarcasmMode of writing, James]]."
* The RunningGag of just how often throughout the synopsis the Dom can use the ''exact same phrase'' to describe events in the book:
-->'''The Dom''': ...instead of pursuing a resolution to this, she is overcome with lust for him, and they have sex. Afterwards, [[ExtremeDoormat she decides to let it go]], and [[KarmaHoudini Grey gets his way]]."
* The skit of Ana and Grey at the masquerade ball.
* Around halfway through, the Dom getting exhausted describing all the horrible things that Grey does that invariably result in sex and Ana excusing him, and so asks his watchers to just assume that they're happening in between the rest of the stuff he describes.
* "Yes, Ana's horror about finding out that her lover was only interested in her in the first place because of a VAST lack of understanding in regards to what a sadist is, and an Oedipus Complex that would make Sigmund Freud himself go "''Scheiße!'' Girl, get your ass out of zere!" and finding out that the most jealous man in America thought that sending her away so that he could undress his ex was a perfectly acceptable way to spend an afternoon, ONLY LASTED ''ONE NIGHT'', and then she went right back to letting him pound her like yesterday's beef!"
* The Dom initially tried to listen to the audiobook, wanting to get through it faster and noting that to that end he could speed it up, "and listen to WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks talk about their inner goddess."
* The artwork of the Dom attacking the book with a sword [[WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties during his rage-induced meltdown]].
* His impression of how Grey's "gun-wielding crazy ex-sub" ("I mean, yeah she has a name, but come on...") comes across as sounding like [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Igor]].
* His impression of the doctor's overreaction to Ana not being on birth control.
* The skits with Ana trying to get Grey to tell her he loves her. Culminating in ''[[YourHeadAsplode her head exploding]]'' in happiness when he finally says the words.
* "At one point, the simile 'I woke up and Grey was wrapped around me like ivy' was used, and I can only assume the author was ''super proud'' of herself for coming up with that, because it's used two or three more times in the same third of the book...although, I could be remembering that funny, [[BrownNote I blacked out a few times while trying to get through this]]."
* "When I got to the epilogue where [[SequelHook she attempted to set up some suspense for the sequel]], I was like, [[BabyTalk 'Aww, James, you think you can write about something that would be in a real book, that's adorable.']]"
* When listing all the red flags Ana missed/ignored with Grey, a [[LiteralMetaphor literal red flag]] waves behind him for each one - then he gets to "And he wants to put his penis in her because she ''[[OedipusComplex looks like his mother]]''," accompanied by a whole ''host'' of red flags.
* The only ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise slightly]]'' charitable thing the Dom can say about the book is that, in comparison to the first book, ''Fifty Shades Darker'' "is like being kicked hard repeatedly in the arse instead of the genitalia."
* The Dom's list of requirements if his watchers want him to review the final book in the series include: finding the Arc of the Covenant and sending him a selfie of them opening it, sixty watchers eating a cake made of raw jalapeño peppers, sacrificing a giraffe to Cthulhu, training a troupe of puppies to reenact the ''Percy Jackson'' musical, and getting the Dom a lunch date with Creator/LinManuelMiranda.
* Theorizing that the director selected for the film (who had a rather unimpressive resume) was chosen "because he possessed the important skill of being willing to bend over and be E.L. James's biatch."
* "All the pop songs ''in the world'' are in this film."
* This time around, the CensorBox covering Ana's boobs is a "Not suitable for most advertisers" notice.
* " I do wonder if the shift from e-mails to messaging was something the filmmakers did without consulting James, or if someone ''actually'' had to sit her down and explain to her how the younger people actually communicate these days. ''Gosh'' I hope it was the latter."
* Pointing out the stupidity of Hyde taking a picture of a photo of Grey and Ana before he even got fired, apparently just so that after he did he could dramatically burn Grey out of it later.
-->'''Hyde's friend''': Hey, Jack? Um, why do you have a room full of other people's family photos?\\
'''Hyde''': Oh, it's in case any of them cross me someday - I want to be ready to act out some really unsubtle imagery at a moment's notice. I've got this whole thing with a cigarette planned out, it's gonna be badass.
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext The Dom's nipples singing "Rule, Britannia."]] [[EveryoneHasStandards And then him awkwardly apologizing for taking the joke too far.]]

[[AC: Game of Thrones S1 E6]]
* The Dom's dramatic reading of Ned's line to Cersei: "Your brother...or your '''''LOVER?'''''" ''([[MusicalSting DUN DUN DAAAAAAAH!]])''
* The bit about Littlefinger's manipulations coming across as less subtle in the show.
-->'''Littlefinger''': Oh, they left fish behind, did they? It's almost like they're making a personal attack on your wife, Lord Stark, but...that would only bother a super-honorable man, so, you're okay, right?\\
'''Littlefinger''': A really big man, hmm? That sounds like Gregor Clegane, who all the smart people know works for Tywin Lannister, the coolest lord with the best kingdom in all the Seven Kingdoms...\\
'''Littlefinger''': And you know, I was actually just talking with Tywin the other day, and he said [[YourMom your mother]] [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries]].\\
'''Ned''': I sentence Clegane to ''death!''\\
'''Littlefinger''': Gosh, what an unexpected result of this conversation.
** The couple extra takes of the line that pushes Ned to call for Clegane's head, including Littlefinger claiming that Tywin said that [[Creator/SeanBean Boromir]] was the worst ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Lord of the Rings]]'' character.
* The "Marketable Quotes" scoreboard.
* The Dom having to hold himself back from going on a rant about a future-season issue.

[[AC: Film/ReadyPlayerOne]]
* [[HilariousOuttakes The sheer number of takes the Dom took whenever he had to say the term "MMORPG."]]
* "Okay, Simon Pegg, I love ya, man, but I'm gonna have to put you over here with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the corner for British actors who should not be attempting American accents."
* Likening the difficulty level of figuring out the clue for the first challenge in the film to two and two coming together and making four. [[SarcasmMode "Wooooow."]]

[[AC: Film/{{Stormbreaker}}]]
* Mentioning that the lead actor had also been considered for the lead role in ''Film/{{Eragon}}'', but had turned it down.
-->'''The Dom''': Fortunately for ''Eragon'', there was not a shortage of young handsome British actors [[TakeThat with no talent and silly haircuts.]]
* The Dom pointing out that not only does the film [[DawsonCasting make no effort to have the main character look 14]], but seems to actively draw attention to it by surrounding him with ''actual'' younger kids in school scenes.
-->'''[[Series/ThirtyRock Lenny]]''': [[MemeticMutation How do you do, fellow kids?]]
* "Alex originally tracked down the scrapyard where his uncle's car was through research and deductive reasoning, but, [[SarcasmMode why bother establishing that your protagonist is intelligent]] when you can show him doing ''kewl bike stuff'' while tailing a white van."
* "[[SarcasmMode Gosh, I wonder why they could possibly want to make the start of [Alex's] adventure]] [[Literature/HarryPotter take place in a London train station]]?"
** And then the film [[LampshadeHanging openly acknowledges]] [[FollowTheLeader the fandom it's trying to latch onto]], leading the Dom to give it credit for at least being honest.
* The bit about how every British citizen seems to be a [[HairTriggerTemper hair-trigger sociopath]] in the film.
-->'''Royal guard''': I say, those kids aren't supposed to be riding here. Well, that's a death sentence. Chaaaaarge!
* Being slightly understanding of the film changing Alex's hairstyle, as the book's description is a little, [[Franchise/AceAttorney well]]…
-->'''The Dom''': Uuuh...objection?
* [[SarcasmMode "What's the point of saving the world if it doesn't get you a date with someone who previously turned you down for one?"]]

[[AC: Voldemort: Origins of the Heir - The Dom Reviews]]
* Terrence starts off with a talk about how it's a bit harder to be snarky and critical about fan films that are clearly labors of love as opposed to films made by big soulless corporations where everyone involved got paid. Then he finishes with:
-->'''Terrence''': Harder but not impossible. This film SUUUUUUUUCKED.
* Terrence recommends that people go and watch the film before his review, leading to:
-->'''Terrence''': For those of you who have already seen it, are returning after having just seen it, or are determined to disobey me like the naughty little ragamuffins you are, let's talk about the plot of this fan film.
* Describing some {{Mooks}} as "[[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse HYDRA soldiers]] if [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica the Red Skull]] was the Other Mother from ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}''."
* Tom Riddle's first flashback conversation with Grecia:
-->'''Riddle''': FUCK MUGGLES, and FUCK YOU!! I'm going to be the strongest wizard ever and KILL YOU [=ALLshhhit=] forget you heard the last part.\\
'''[=McLaggen=]''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Wow, the way you just yelled at me for no reason makes you even sexier!]] I bet you ''will'' be the strongest wizard ever!
* Terrence being Terrence, he finds it ''natural'' that the Ravenclaw member of the Heirs' Club should be the leader, and surmises that he is trying to help the Hufflepuff member "not suck so much."
** When Smith engages Riddle in a duel:
--->'''Terrence''': Surprising everyone, though, he becomes the first Hufflepuff to ''actually succeed at som- (breaks off into an extended fit of hysterical laughter)'' I'm just kidding of course, he gets his ass completely kicked and has to be saved by the Ravenclaw.
* Terrence's rant on the interrogator's overuse of Veritaserum.
* The dramatic exclamation of the big plot twist is somewhat undercut by Terrence muddling the second half of Voldemort's name.
** [[RunningGag This happens several more times throughout the review.]] "Volde-doodoo..."
* The full 10 seconds of silence as Terrence processes the plot twist.
* After a demonstration of the film's...''questionable'' dubbing:
-->'''[[Film/TheRoom Johnny]]''': [[DullSurprise I did not hit her, it's not true, it's bullshit I did not hit her, I did naht. Oh hi Mark.]]
** "Don't pretend like you weren't thinking it."
* Also on the subject of dubbing issues, pointing out how the [[VocalDissonance vocal performances don't always quite match the on-screen acting]].
-->'''Terrence''': ''(standing still and calm while dubbed over by his own voice)'' You can tell I'm super bloody upset because of how BORED I look when I SCREAM at you!!
* Terrence's Voldemort voice.
-->'''Voldemort''': Well...I hid the ring in my mother's old house...the locket in the cave where I tortured those children when I was a boy...the diadem in the school I grew up in...but I think I'm going to hide the diary somewhere random like...ooh, Russia, yes, that feels right.
* Terrence's reaction to Tom Riddle having a Yorkshire accent.
-->'''Terrence''': I just... Come on, my British brothers and sisters, back me up on this, that is ''[[OopNorth fookin' hilarius]]''.
* When discussing the film's positives, Terrence can't help but comment on a particular piece of eye candy:
-->'''Terrence''': Gosh ''darn'', You-Know-Who has got some ''smolder!'' I am so scaroused right now.

[[AC: Literature/Fahrenheit451]]
* The whole opening, where the Dom finds [[SchmuckBait a bottle of Terrence's booze lying around]], ignores [[ReversePsychology Terrence's note to leave it alone]] and takes a swig, collapses in pain, and gets back up [[BalefulPolymorph in the body of an]] [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent American]] [[GenderBender woman]].
** The subsequent phone call with Terrence:
--->'''Terrence''': ''(EvilLaugh)''\\
'''The Dom''': I swear, I'm going to ''fucking'' kill you again!\\
'''Terrence''': ...Wait. What do you mean, "again"?\\
'''The Dom''': Long story. [[CallBack Involves a contradictory plot and a time traveler]].\\
'''Terrence''': Mm. Fair enough.
** Then it turns out Terrence had intended to Polyjuice the Dom into Creator/CateBlanchett.
--->'''Terrence''': ''(awkwardly examining a box labeled "hair samples")'' I, uh, really need to label these better.
* "As you can see, I'm slightly out of my comfort...body..."
* Snarking about "the most PC non-sexual sex scene in the history of uptight British cinema."
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext Jesus on TV shilling an electric floor-scrubber.]]
* The Dom occasionally dropping some British slang in his new American accent.
* Wishing that the film had included Faber being a voice in Montag's ear when he was doing something stupid.
-->'''Faber''': Montag! ''Montag!'' Stop it, you little dumbass, you're making a right tit out of yourself!
* Before getting to his final thoughts, the Dom is distracted by his new boobs.
-->'''The Dom''': These are so ''distracting''...how do women get anything done?...

[[AC: Game of Thrones S1 E7]]
* The Dom lamenting his decision to cosplay for these Game of Thrones reviews, as he has since moved to California and is subsequently boiling in his black Night's Watchman costume.

[[AC: Film/Fahrenheit4512018 - The Dom Reviews]]
* "You know, it really is interesting when things come full circle like this. ''Film/{{Equilibrium}}'' was basically ''Fahrenheit 451'' if it were an action movie, and now ''Fahrenheit 451'' is basically ''Equilibrium''...[[TakeThat if it was really, really boring]]."
* "Yeah. [[NewMediaAreEvil Emoji are villainized in this]]. This should tell you a ''lot'' about what you need to know about this film."
* "Yeah, apparently these guys have figured out how to shrink all of humanity's knowledge down into a single particle of DNA, but just cannot figure out how to handle a GPS locator."
* "Montag sneaks into the building to find all the book-memorizers dead, but the bird still alive, because, as you all know, starlings are more resistant to smoke inhalation."
* The Dom's first point after the plot synopsis: "WHERE ARE MY MOTHERFUCKING MECHANICAL HOUNDS, YOU WANKERS?!"
* "The ''only'' way to stop the internet is to flamethrower people's routers and keyboards, because ''[[TechnologicallyBlindElders that's how them pesky computer-things work, right? I-i-if I smash the keyboard I delete the facebook!]]''"
* The Dom positing the theory that having Creator/MichaelBJordan on fire at some point in your film is a sign that [[Film/FantasticFour2015 it's going to bomb]].

[[AC: Film/{{Nightbreed}}]]
* The Dom freaking out over the film's use of Claymation.
* "[[SarcasmMode Oh yes]], I totally believe ''this'' is a real thing. I am looking at a graveyard [[SpecialEffectsFailure that's definitely not a painting]]. Oh, the eighties. [-Yeah I know it was technically the nineties, but it still counts.-]"
* "I think the makers of this film forgot that being R-rated meant they could show boobs, because there's no boobs until right near the end, then suddenly there's boobs for little to no reason."
** "Speaking of boobs, I think this film overestimated how sexy we would find a half-girl/half-porcupine, but I don't know, the internet's here now, so there's undoubtedly someone fapping to this out there somewhere."
** Said boobs' accompanying CensorBox reads: [[FanDisservice "No thank you," "Seriously, stop," and "Plz, no more."]]
* The Dom's skeptical acceptance of [[ItsPronouncedTropay the film's pronunciation of "Baphomet"]].
* Comparing one of the film's monsters to "the fucking moon from the [=McDonald's=] commercial."
* The voice the Dom uses for the [[ExecutiveMeddling studio interference]]. "No, no, no, you need to end on a big old battle with one-liners and shit, not a one-sided slaughter that makes people ''feel'' bad!"
* "The film left out what was probably the single WEIRDEST FUCKING THING from the book. Actually, scratch that, it's the weirdest fucking thing in ANY book." Then there's the subsequent HurricaneOfEuphemisms after the Dom describes [[{{Squick}} the thing]].
-->'''The Dom:''' You ''really'' have to wonder about Creator/CliveBarker. I mean...when he sees a drawing of Cthulhu, do you think his first thought is, [[NightmareFetishist "Aaaww, yeah, I'd love to blow my load all over those tentacles..."]]
* [[RunningGag The return]] of "HEDGES ARE NOT SCARY!"
-->'''The Dom:''' ...which, admittedly, isn't all that relevant, I just wanted to work it in here somewhere.

[[AC: WesternAnimation/ScreamStreet]]
* "In the absence of a multi-story-encompassing quest with actual stakes, the kids now partake in... what is probably best described as ''shenanigans''. Some of which could be described as significantly ''wacky''."
* "''Good lord'', [[DawsonCasting if this is him]] ''[[DawsonCasting before]]'' [[DawsonCasting puberty]], he's gonna sound like Darth Vader by the time he's twenty!"

[[AC: The Dom Reviews YOU, Episode Two]]
* During the Dom's opening spiel on his lack of credentials (where, as usual, he is filming himself from the waist up):
-->'''The Dom:''' I'm just a guy who complains about adaptations on Website/YouTube, and, more often than not, doesn't even bother putting on pants when I film. ''[awkwardly looks down]''
* "This film actually looks really good... for a college project, which is to say [[NoExceptYes it actually looks terrible]], but [[SelfDeprecation it's leagues better than the garbage I was making back at uni]], and before you ask, ABSOLUTELY NOT, [[OldShame you will never find this stuff online]]."
* Praising an author for writing a friendly talking bush character, as it shows acceptance of the fact that [[RunningGag HEDGES ARE NOT SCARY]].

[[AC: Film/{{Babe}}]]
* The RunningGag of the Dom having mini-freakouts over the implications of a world where farm animals of human-level intelligence are still used for food, before being cut off by a "TAKING A CHILDREN'S BOOK TOO SERIOUSLY" warning.
-->'''The Dom:''' Holy ''moly'' this is some ''Literature/AnimalFarm''-level stuff, EVERY HUMAN IN THIS WORLD IS COMPLICIT IN GENOCIDE!!
* "The single most plot-relevant addition to the movie is probably Grumpy Creator/HugoWeaving Dog... who you ''can'' call 'Rex', but why would you when you can call him Grumpy Hugo Weaving Dog." This is followed by a quick dubbed clip in which Rex ominously discusses [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing the threat of Mordor]] with the farm.

[[AC: Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies]]
* The opening, where Calluna, [[RunningGag in the vein of the other Hobbit reviews]], sneaks closer and closer to the Dom as he sits calmly reading a book, an evil glint in her eye and ominous music playing. Just as she is about to pounce...
-->'''The Dom:''' ''[not even looking up]'' [[RunningGagStumbles Calluna. We live together now. You don't have to force me to do crossovers.]]\\
'''Calluna:''' ''[pouts]'' Awww.
* "Did Creator/PeterJackson manage to pull off a last-minute save and make an adaptation loyal to the plot and tone of the book these films are based on no, no he didn't, I'm sorry, I can't even pretend, this was a hot mess."
* Regarding Legolas's running across falling stones in midair:
-->'''The Dom:''' The fact that elves [[ArtisticLicensePhysics don't always obey the laws of physics]] is well established, but still. [[NoJustNoReaction This is dumb. This is so, so dumb.]]
* How the stuff with Bard and the Master of Laketown went down in the book.
-->'''Master:''' Um, hi, I was ''elected''. A dragon doesn't automatically equal a monarchy, plus, it wasn't ''my'' fault those bloody dwarves caused all this mess!\\
'''Bard:''' Oh, give over. They're almost certainly dragon poop by now.\\
'''Master:''' Shut up, Bard! If you want to be royalty so bad, why don't you go back to Dale, where your granddaddy actually ''was'' Lord!\\
'''Bard:''' Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you. Me going off to the great city we used to live in, that's now... no longer under threat of dragon attack, and... right next to a now-undefended, unfathomable amount of treasure. ''[beat]'' Actually, you know what, now ''is'' no time to be bickering about who's in charge. I should go... make sure the lake is still there. Bye!\\
'''Master:''' Haw-haw! Good job, Master, you've mastered things again.
* The reenactment of the book's description of the titular battle.
-->'''Thranduil:''' The goblin armies of the mountains are upon us. We must all join forces to stand against them!\\
''[a rock flies in out of nowhere and clocks Bilbo in the head]''\\
''[fade out to later, at dusk, Bilbo regains consciousness]''\\
'''Bard:''' Oh hey, hobbit guy! You're alive! Well, good news is, we won; bad news is, you'd better come quick, Oakenshield is dying.\\
'''Bilbo:''' Oh. Well that sucks.
* [[StatingTheSimpleSolution "Fire ARROWS over the shield wall you numpties!"]]
-->'''The Dom:''' [[HollywoodTactics Did they just hate having any possible advantage in combat?!]]
* "Sooo... An hour and ten minutes in, this film suddenly becomes ''Film/{{Dune|1984}}''."
* Playing some ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' music over [[FollowTheLeader one particular action sequence]]. "Tell me you don't see it."
* Calluna's intense, step-by-step description of what Legolas got up to during the battle.
* "Next up, Tauriel, because she's ''worth it''. [[ObligatoryJoke Oh, come on, we were bound to make that joke eventually.]]"
* "After the smoke clears, [[LoveTriangle Fili confesses his love for her, just before Legolas turns up]], and OH MY GOODNESS they are ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally forming a triangle]]'', fuck off with this shit!"
* Tauriel's infamous "''[[{{Narm}} Egad]]''[[{{Narm}} , all this]] ''[[{{Narm}} real love]]'' [[{{Narm}} hurts so much!]]" scene.
* "[[ForegoneConclusion Yeah, no need to worry, Saruman the White is on the case! He might even use the Palantir to figure out all Sauron's weaknesses so he can]] ''[[ForegoneConclusion really]]'' [[ForegoneConclusion mess him up! Yaaaaay!]]"
* The texting conversation between Thorin and Dáin.
-->'''Thorin:''' Bring the Twirly Whirlys.
* Immediately following the final thoughts, [[RunningGag Terrence Apparates in]], with a disgruntled expression and chugging a bottle of alcohol.
-->'''Calluna:''' Terrence? Are... you okay?\\
'''Terrence:''' ''[slurring his words]'' Shut up! [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Stop telling lies]], ''I'' [[CallBack broke up with Thranduil]], [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not the other way around]]... and I don't even care, because his hair wasn't even that perfect, I'm... just gonna take a little magical nap now. ''[passes out]''
** The Dom then asks Calluna if they should do anything about this situation. Calluna replies that [[TakeThat they can save it for the Extended Edition]].
* As the two wrap up:
-->'''The Dom:''' ''Phew!'' You know, I do love Tolkien's work, but it is exhausting working through all the lore. [[TemptingFate I'm kind of relieved we're done with Middle-Earth for now.]]\\
'''Calluna:''' Or ARE we?! ''[dramatically pulls a sheathed sword from her cloak, [[CallToAdventure holding it out to the Dom as Lord of the Rings music swells]]...]''\\
'''The Dom:''' ''[[[RefusalOfTheCall pushes the sword down as the music cuts off]]]'' [[BluntYes Yes.]]\\
'''Calluna:''' ''[pouts]'' [[BookEnds Awww.]]
* As usual, the HilariousOuttakes.
** "[[FascinatingEyebrow The eyebrow]] ''makes'' my channel, babe."
** Dom and Calluna's cats.
--->'''Calluna:''' I come before you, small kitty, to present you the ''magic sword of destiny'' you don't give a shit, you just want to play with the cloak...\\
'''Dom:''' You're the true king of Gondor, stop playing around!\\
---\\
'''Dom:''' Meanwhile, Sir Terry Pratchett[[note]]their other cat[[/note]] ''bravely'' sleeps on the cat tower. Ah yes. This one can be the king of Rohan.\\
---\\
'''Dom:''' "''Meow, meow'', we haven't been petted in ''five minutes! Aaaaauuuuuuugh!''"
*** "Why are we doing impressions of the cats?" "[[LampshadeHanging Because, bloopers?]]" "We can't ''make'' bloopers, that's cheating."

[[AC: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms]]
* When trying to explain who's currently on the throne and what position Aegon (one of the main characters) holds in the line of succession, Dominic goes on a bit of a rant because ''"Have you ever ''seen'' a Targaryen family tree?!?'' They keep using the same ''five'' names ''over and over again'' and they only add a number to it if they were a king or queen, and don't even get me ''started'' on how much the incestuous marriage thing complicates matters!!!"

[[AC: Game of Thrones S1 E8]]
* "Nakeeeed Hodor!"
* Playing the "naked Hodor" music over shots of a fully-clothed Lord Commander Mormont after mentioning that he had also been naked during one of the adapted scenes.
* The summary of how Joffrey's decision to order [[OldSoldier Barristan Selmy]] arrested in the book went down:
-->'''Janos Slynt:''' I'll do it, milord, [[UnderestimatingBadassery I'll send some of my best gold cloaks to apprehend the old geezer]].\\
TWO HOURS LATER\\
'''Janos Slynt:''' Okay, so...all the men I sent are dead, apparently he had a small dagger, and, well... maybe you shouldn't have fired him after all, [[OneManArmy he's kind of a death machine]].

[[AC: [[Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life]]]]
* When discussing how he loved the film when he first saw it, he states that the rest of the world seemed to have a "disconsenting" opinion. Cue a footnote popping up:
-->* Dissenting. [[TakeThatMe I don't think what I said is even a word.]]
* "I did some math to determine exactly how much runtime was allotted to each book, not counting the end credits and whatnot... actually, cards on the table, I outsourced most of the math to my girlfriend, because I suck at it, but you get the idea."
* "Yeah. ''[[{{Jerkass}} This]]'' is the guy I related to, [[SelfDeprecation I'm... so, so sorry, everyone who knew me in my twenties]]."
* The Dom turns to [[WebVideo/RockedReviews Luke Spencer]] for confirmation on how well the film adapted the comic's music. [[CallBack Luke is not pleased.]]
-->'''The Dom:''' ''[creepy grin]'' [[AbhorrentAdmirer Heeey, buddy.]]\\
'''Luke:''' H-how?! Why?! How?! Also, NO! THE RESTRAINING ORDER!\\
'''The Dom:''' [[LoopholeAbuse I'm more than four hundred feet away.]] Also, I missed you too.
* The Dom [[CallBack briefly brings up]] ''Film/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' adaptation when making a point, and still can't help but [[SpitefulSpit express his feelings on that work]].

[[AC: Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld]]
* "To address some of your comments, yes, 'The Scott Pilgrimage' would have been a better name than 'The Scott Pilgrim-athon'. But, what you have to take into account is... [[LameComeback shut]] [[WhyDidntIThinkOfThat up]]."

[[AC: Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness]]
* Regarding a character revealing that he has telekinetic powers due to being vegan:
-->'''The Dom:''' You know, I have to say, this completely destroyed my suspension of disbelief in regards to this film. I mean... [[BaitAndSwitch a vegan who doesn't bring up the fact that he is vegan in conversation until it becomes relevant to do so]]? ''[[TakeThat Ludicrous!]]''

[[AC: Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together]]
* The Dom's experience of Canadian summer.
* Declaring the most relatable thing in the comic to be its portrayal of "the uniquely tortuous way that the catering industry somehow manages to be both hectic ''and'' monotonous at the ''same time''."

[[AC: Scott Pilgrim Vs The Universe]]
* "Ah, Coke Zero. All the lack of flavor of a sugar-free drink, while still being filled with enough chemicals to sterilize a homicide crime scene."

[[AC: ComicBook/ScottPilgrim: The Final Final Thoughts]]
* After defeating [=NegaDom=], the Dom briefly wonders if he should be concerned about this representing any repressed memories... then shrugs it off as them likely being ''Fifty Shades''-related.
* "I'm not even entirely convinced the film version of [Ramona] even ''likes'' Scott, and... well, okay, yeah, that's fair, why would you, he's a dick."
* At the end of the review, [=NegaDom=] comes back, but doesn't really want to fight again.
-->'''The Dom:''' ...All right, come on, I'll tell Terrence we have another one.

[[AC: Film/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe]]
* Interrupting his opening monologue with an "editor's note" when he remembered something wrong about the 80s BBC adaptation. [[SelfDeprecation "I learned a valuable lesson about research this day."]]
* The Dom ''literally being hit over the head'' with Creator/CSLewis's religious allegory.
* Pausing in the middle of the plot synopsis to give a MotorMouth summary of what Turkish Delight is.
* [[TheGrinch The Dom]] doesn't really find the "never Christmas" part of the White Witch's curse to be that awful.
* "Partway into their journey to the Stone Table, they meet... um... Father Christmas. As you do."
* Calling [[Creator/JamesCosmo Father Christmas]] "[[Series/GameOfThrones Lord Commander Mormont]]".
* Regarding Peter's army being on the brink of defeat:
-->'''The Dom:''' ''[Scottish accent]'' [[CallBack If they'd only thought to bring]] [[Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies some of the ol' Twirly Whirlys!]]
* The [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it]] flash of [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} something]] when the Dom describes Aslan leaving because he's got other places to watch over.
* The Dom's surprise at having to bring back the [[FollowTheLeader "Because ''The Lord of the Rings'' Did It"]] section from the ''Hobbit'' reviews.
-->'''Disney exec 1:''' Wait, didn't [[Creator/JRRTolkien Tolkien]] have a BFF who also wrote bestselling fantasy novels?\\
'''Disney exec 2:''' Yes, but I think they were intended for really young children.\\
'''Disney exec 1:''' That's not a deal-breaker, what's really important is: did they have huge battles in them?\\
'''Disney exec 2:''' They did, but... I'm pretty sure they always happened offscreen.\\
'''Disney exec 1:''' Not ''anymore''. ''[both grin]''
** "You've got to have an opening battle. If you don't have an opening battle... then [[ShapedLikeItself there's no opening battle]]."
