[[AC: Newspeak and Doublethink: The Dystopian World of Literature/NineteenEightyFour]]
* Reminiscing on having had to write an essay on ''Literature/AnimalFarm'' back in school:
-->'''The Dom:''' ...Almost flunked that class, actually... Well, look at me ''now'', Mr. Keens! ''Now'' who's not ''applying himself'', huh?! ''[beat]'' ...I don't think he watches Youtube.

[[AC: Lost In Adaptation [[HilariousOuttakes Bloopers]] 2014-2018]]
* Two particular running themes among the bloopers: Dom being annoyed by people driving outside his apartment...
-->'''Dom:''' [[SarcasmMode Take your time. Wouldn't want to drive down this road too fast. Gotta make sure you enjoy the scenery.]]\\
'''Dom:''' [[SophisticatedAsHell You have a small penis, good sir,]] [[CompensatingForSomething and that motorbike proves it.]]\\
'''Dom:''' Why do all American engines have to be so loud?\\
'''Dom:''' Is everyone driving a fucking ''tractor?!''\\
'''Dom:''' There is ''literally'' a marching band going past my apartment complex. I'm pretty sure this is divine intervention at this point telling me this isn't a day to film on.
* ...and [[CutenessProximity getting distracted by his cats]].
-->'''Dom:''' You're killing me, Whisp. I need to do this job so I can buy you tuna.
* And sometimes it's his cockatiel:
-->'''Dom:''' Petrie, you SNEEZED all over my performance. Bless you, but I will never forgive you.
** ...including, one time, ''after'' Dom has moved to America.
--->'''Dom''': That is so weird, I could've sworn I just heard Petrie chirping, and he's back in England.
* Dom getting into character as Creator/HarrisonFord.
* "[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Fat Grandma]] is weeb trash."
* Dom-as-Terrence drops to his knees for a greenscreen effect... then moans that he's old and that really hurt.
* "Okay, it's the next day. I'm feeling much better now, and there's lots of [[SuddenlyShouting COFFEE IN MY VEINS]]! Ha-hah!"
* Dom and Erika Haynes discussing the lack of pockets in women's pants.
-->'''Erika:''' [[SarcasmMode Women don't deserve pockets, that's just how it works!]]\\
'''Dom:''' I understand. You might get ''ideas'' if you have pockets.
* "Terrence is dieting, 'cuz Terrence got all fat when he came to America."
* "Broke my finger, making a hand gesture, I'm tho weak and fra-gile and brit-tle."

[[AC: Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles]]
* The ColdOpen:
-->'''Raphael:''' Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!\\
'''The Dom:''' ''[unimpressed stare; [[FascinatingEyebrow raises eyebrow]]]''
* Positing that the common children's cartoon trope of heroes [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman casually destroying robots]] would be the cause of any potential future VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman-esque situation.
* Commenting on the surprising darkness of Casey Jones crushing Shredder's body in a garbage truck to make sure he's dead.
-->'''The Dom:''' One-and-a-half gallons of blood would be leaking out of that truck as you celebrate with all the little kids you just liberated.
* "Oh, ''yeah''. A woman at least ten years older than me and a completely different and almost certainly incompatible species. That is ''so'' my type."
* The Dom trying to picture any of the Turtles' [[LighterAndSofter future iterations]] offering Shredder the option of honorable suicide as in the original comic:
-->'''Raphael:''' Woah, Shredder dude, you gotta, like, disembowel yourself to save your honor! It's like, totally radical!

[[AC:The Putting off Reviewing Fifty Shades Freed Patreon Q&A]]
* "How much of a Patreon pledge do I have to make a month in order for you to LEAVE [[WebVideo/RockedReviews ME]] ALONE?!"
-->'''Dom:''' INFINITY dollars! Because that's how much [[RunningGag our friendship]] [[AbhorrentAdmirer is worth, Luke]].
* "If you could keep any animal, real or imagined, that you wanted what would it be?"
-->'''Dom:''' Okay, well who could possibly think of anything other than a [[Literature/DragonridersOfPern sapient dragon, that you can communicate with psychically and ride around on]], when asked that question? Come on.
* Terrence reflecting on the privacy-invading implications of him reading the Harry Potter novels.
* The Dom's thoughts on his ever-growing number of roommates.
-->'''The Dom:''' The Nega-Dom doesn't speak... so, he just sort of sits in the corner, glaring at people... The two future versions of me tend to keep to themselves as well, quite a lot, they're just off sort of trying to plan for the future when it eventually arrives and making doomsday predictions... that's always a fun evening... Terrence, of course, is a massive pain in the ass, you have no idea how long he spends in the bathroom every day, he's... he's basically like Howl from ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'', but... even more douchey.
* Dom expressing appreciation for his "kitty support" making his reading of ''Fifty Shades Freed'' much more bearable - with the caveat that in a few weeks he expects to go back to being aggravated at ''fifty interruptions per episode''.
* If a more book-accurate adaptation of ''Literature/WhoCensoredRogerRabbit'' was made, Dom would sit at the front of the theater and face the audience instead of the screen, ''just'' to see everyone's reaction.

[[AC:[[Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey Fifty Shades Freed]]]]
* "If you would be so kind as to pretend that, between every sentence here, I'm stopping to say, 'And then they have sex and Ana really enjoys it, because she orgasms at the slightest touch from her husband, or a... light gust of wind.'"
* "I allowed myself a few blissful moments of imagining Ana taking [Grey] for everything he has, and leaving him alone and broken like he deserves to be for his multiple acts of abuse, but... alas, E.L. James would never be so kind."
* The Dom ranting about the book's use of the EnhanceButton.
-->'''The Dom:''' "''Enhance the image'', tech guy!", because that's how cameras have ''ever'' worked. [[SarcasmMode There's a secret supply of reserve pixels that usually aren't in use but can be unlocked when someone]] ''[[SarcasmMode really]]'' [[SarcasmMode wants to see something]].
* The skit summarizing the infamous scene where Grey berates Ana for using her maiden name at work... [[MoodWhiplash then tries to get in a quickie with her while he's there]].
* The Dom [[CallBack still just referring to Grey's ex as variants of "crazy ex-sub girl"]], on the grounds of there being nothing more to her character to make it worth the effort of remembering her name.
* "They go out for a few drinks, and talk about how ''lucky'' they are to be with their respective super-awesome-perfect dream-men... unironically."
* "Take a wild guess how this conversation turns out. If you said anything other than 'Ana admits full fault then Grey fucks her', I am deeply worried for your reasoning ability."
* During the Dom's mid-video advertisement for Audible, one of his selling points is "there are so many books you can download that ''aren't this one''!" He gets teary with joy just saying it.
* The Dom's impression of Grey's denial of his mommy issues, giving him the tone of [[ManChild a petulant child]].
-->'''Grey:''' No! My past is completely behind me! My mummy means ''nothing'' to me! [[ImplausibleDeniability Now have sex with me, person who looks just like her.]]
* [[RunningGag "Because, you know,]] [[FreudianExcuse he had a hard childhood."]]
* The Dom's voice when describing Hyde's ransom demand of "'''[[MoustacheTwirlingVillain five MILLION dollars]]!'''"
* Ana's work acquaintance who turns out to be working with Hyde strikes no recollection for the Dom.
-->'''The Dom:''' ...Okay, this person's evil I guess. How ''could'' you... This Person, Ana trusted you, maybe.
* At the end of the plot synopsis video, the Dom gets a surprise text.
-->'''The Dom:''' ''[checks phone]'' [[OhCrap ...SHE WROTE ANOTHER BOOK?!]]
* The Dom's anger regarding the book's incessant "fucking ''murmuring''".
-->'''The Dom:''' ''Learn more '''words''', James, for god's sake!''
* Being fully convinced that Ana [[SanitySlippage has gotten to the point]] where she is actually experiencing full-on hallucinations of her [[YouKeepUsingThatWord "subconscious"]] performing the actions she describes.
* "...Oh hey. First one of [[FlippingTheBird these]] of the episode."
* The skit about the pointless cheating fake-out.
-->'''Ana:''' Are you cheating on Kate?\\
'''Eliot:''' No.\\
'''Ana:''' Good!
* The Dom isn't buying James's attempts to paint Ana as becoming a strong independent woman.
-->'''Ana:''' Alright, after just a few weeks of marriage, I've become a super-assertive badass who takes no crap from anyone, thus proving my relationship is a positive influence on my life! Dream husband, I'll see you after drinks with Kate!\\
'''Grey:''' [[ControlFreak No. I don't want you going out tonight. Drink at home.]]\\
'''Ana:''' [[ExtremeDoormat Okay!]] I guess we're staying in tonight.\\
'''Kate:''' No. I booked us a table. Come on.\\
'''Ana:''' [[ExtremeDoormat Okay!]] ''[cheerfully follows Kate]''
* "Always better to start at the beginning... unless we're talking about reading these books, in which case it's much better to start at the... never."
* "[Ana] said she didn't ''want'' to [be a CEO], not that she doubts her abilities! ...That said, I mean, ''I'' doubt her abilities; I'm not trying to be mean, but she has zero experience, and she has the backbone of a ''jellyfish'', and not even the stinging type, the type that just floats around in the sea until they're eaten by something."
* Stating that ''flat-Earthers'' would be skeptical of the book's attempts to claim that Ana's promotion was based on merit and not her husband buying the company.
* The Dom's thoughts on [[{{Narm}} Ana and Grey's between-fights flirting]].
-->'''The Dom:''' [[Film/AttackOfTheClones Anakin and Padme Skywalker]] would groan at the sound of it. High school sweethearts who are convinced at age fifteen that they're going to marry because ''no one'' has known true love like they do would tell these two to grow the fuck up.
* Listing out [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Christian Grey's]] supposed "[[HiddenDepths layers beneath his pretty face]]".
* Taking issue with Ana's "you can only be truly mad at someone you really love" statement.
-->'''The Dom:''' That is so dumb and easily-disproved I'm not sure why I'm even bringing it up. I guess I just don't like [[TakeThat the implication that I really love]] UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump. Yeah, I made it political and dated the video, ''fuck you'', I suffered through ''Fifty Shades three times'', I'll do what I want!
* "So in addition to realizing that flashbacks are a thing, it appears that James has also finally discovered, just in time for this last book in the trilogy, that stories do not have to encompass every second of every minute of every hour of every day of their duration."
-->'''The Dom:''' It's not much, but it is nice not having to listen to ''exactly'' what Ana has for breakfast ''every day'', or when Grey brushes his teeth... No wait, she does include those things, ah, shite.
* James's grasp of the time jump still leaves a little to be desired:
-->'''Ana:''' Holy cow, I'm really looking forward to the sex we're about to have!\\
''[JumpCut]''\\
'''Ana:''' That sure was some good sex that we had that I'm referring to in the past tense because it's later now!
* The Dom had a brief world-crumbling moment when he got to the part of the book where Grey claims to be pro-gun control "because it meant that he and I agreed on something, and I ''can't'' accept that that would ''ever happen''!" but quickly picked up on Grey's blatant hypocrisy on the matter and felt much better.
* The Dom happily headcanoning an ending where Grey is arrested for obstruction of justice.
* Regarding [[UnfortunateImplications James's portrayal of Grey's mental illness]]:
-->'''The Dom:''' If everyone on the planet [[FlippingTheBird gave her the middle finger]], that would still be less than the ideal amount of middle fingers pointing at her.
* "I cannot accurately describe the feeling of utter despair I experienced when the climax ended, and I realized how much of the book was still to go. There ''may'' have been tears."
* "Grey thinks that Ana is a 'force of nature' because she occasionally whines passive-aggressively before conceding to his every demand. A ''real'' feminist, a woman who does not only ''not'' take his shit but is willing to give some back to him for being so shitty, would just ''blow his mind''. [[LiteralMetaphor I mean literally]], [[YourHeadAsplode his head would explode]] from all the information he couldn't comprehend."
* "Ana's plan for dealing with the kidnapping is... stupid bad stupid."
* The [[FlippingTheBird "finger dance"]] [[MoodWhiplash following the Dom angrily summarizing Ana and Grey's relationship and how James portrays it]]. He also released a full version later titled, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcH0NDLfvDo The f**k you Fifty Shades dance]]".
--> "Some people were asking if they could appropriate the finger dance for their own projects. The answer is yes, just don't use it for evil ok?"
* Right out of the gate in the Lost in Adaptation video, the film's scene of Ana telling Grey that [[InformedAttribute he is a "man of honor" who "treats people well"]] results in the Dom letting out a [[RageBreakingPoint furious]] [[SkywardScream scream]] so powerful it spreads out into space and [[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry batters the Starship]] ''[[Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry Excelsior]]''.
-->'''The Dom:''' Whew! I needed that.
* The usual survey of who read the book versus saw the film includes categories for "Cursed with both", and "Blessedly free of either foul experience". The vast majority of those surveyed fell into the latter category.
* The fact that the screenplays for both ''Freed'' and ''Darker'' were written by E.L. James's husband was not brought up in the latter video "because... [[SelfDeprecation I'm bad at my job]]."
* "Just like its predecessors, ''Freed'' has one card to play to counter the utter lack of chemistry between the leads, the absence of passion in the sex scenes, and the absolute joylessness of almost every scene, and it plays it for all it's worth: utilizing pop song after pop song after ''pop song'' to drown out the awkwardness."
* "A car... for want of a more boring word, 'chase'..."
* Pointing out how book-accurate Grey's low sex-endurance is.
-->'''The Dom:''' James thinks that sex should always be done in less time than a microwave pizza.
* Deciding that "plot hole" is too strong a term for certain things carried over from the book, replacing it with "the stupid shit that made no sense".
* "The perplexing and unnecessary mishandling of non-chronological storytelling in the beginning of the book that I complained about, is fixed by them... ''not'' doing that."
* The Dom's shock that James let the filmmakers get away with replacing most of Ana and Grey's fighting during their honeymoon with them... ''[[FauxHorrific having fun together]]''.
* On a presumably unintentional note, Dom not noticing when he says the word "synonymous" as "synomynous".
* The screen-shaking crash when the film sneaks in an actual funny joke.
* "This movie once again highlights that even ''[[DamnedByFaintPraise BASIC COMPETENCE]]'' is leagues above what James is capable of."
* The Dom imagining an awkward writers' meeting where someone nervously suggested to James's husband, "If we're going to include all of Erika's payoffs, perhaps we should add in some... y'know... ''set-up'', as well?"
* Suggesting that the filmmakers were able get their portrayal of Grey as a better person (not ''good'', just better than his book counterpart) past James in part by passing off the cutting of scenes with his horrible behavior as their hands just being tied due to the movie format.
* Regardless of the improvements made to Grey's character in the film, the Dom would still like to run him over with a combine harvester - he'd just be more inclined to do it quickly if it were the film version.
* The [[HilariousOuttakes bloopers]] for the book review.
** "Calluna's ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' DVD just threw itself off the bookshelf. It's like "''I can't take hearing about ''Fifty Shades of Grey'' anymore, the eeeeend!''""
** "[[GrumpyOldMan Damn kids and your skateboards.]] I say that unironically."
** Script falls down
*** Twirl
*** First attempt to pick up paper
*** Second attempt to pick up paper
*** [[EpicFail Third attempt to pick up paper]]
*** [[SelfDeprecation I'm bad at stuff]]
** "I can't say the word anonymity to save my life. [[WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis Worst part is I actually meant AUTONOMY...]]"

[[AC:The Company of Death]]
* [[BlatantLies "Because I'm not at all jealous about]] [[WebVideo/VampireReviews Elisa]] [[BlatantLies being multitalented enough to be a successful youtuber AND a published author..."]]
* "I'm also, apparently, a big fan of women who can pop lasers out of their arms and blow shit up. I didn't ''know'' that was a kink of mine, but I'm always open to new things."

[[AC:Film/WarOfTheWorlds]]
* "If you're already familiar with [the book's plot], and for some ''bizarre'' reason don't want to listen to the sultry tones of my voice as much as possible, here's the point to skip to."
* Admitting that he had to stop reading for a moment when the curate character was introduced to go look up what a "curate" was.
* "I just don't get why the aliens would want to keep human clothing intact. Is their plan to put our defeated trousers on their heads as they perform their victory parade?"
* "The protagonist, played by Creator/TomCruise, is called 'Ray'... though that's probably a bad example because in my experience, when Tom Cruise plays a character in a movie most people will forget his name and just say, 'Oh yeah, Tom Cruise's character.'"
* The usual "please like, share, and subscribe" request at the video's end being done in the style of the first paragraph of the book.
-->'''The Dom:''' Thank you for joining me, my beautiful watchers, and please remember that ''no one would have believed that, in the first years of the twenty-first century, that this world was being watched keenly and closely, by programmed algorithms, powerful yet really bloody stupid.''
* [[HilariousOuttakes The continuing saga of Dom's loud neighbors and interrupting cats.]]
-->'''Dom:''' There's a guy out there salvaging bits of a car with a power saw. Most... inopportune timing.\\
'''Dom:''' [[TranquilFury It's like he]] ''[[TranquilFury waits]]''[[TranquilFury ... until I'm trying to film something.]]\\
'''Dom:''' I'm turning into a CrazyCatLady, I'm talking to the cat, I'm talking ''for'' the cat...

[[AC:Game of Thrones S1 E9]]
* "Okay, so. ''Shae''. Shhhhhae. Shae, Shae, Shae..."
* The Dom mumbling awkwardly as the scenes quickly flash-forward through Shae's story before deciding that ''nope'', he's going to save tackling ''that'' can of worms for its own video.
* The complete breakdown when the Dom gets to [[TearJerker/GameOfThrones Eddard's execution]].
-->'''The Dom:''' ''[miserable wailing]'' NO! NO! [=NonoNO=], it's STILL NOT OKAY!
:: : He's still sniffling when he continues on with the "Changed" section.
* The Dom's belated realization that he's been pretty approving of Catelyn Stark's actions this episode, even as he kept up his usual uncomplimentary appellation for her.

[[AC:Film/{{The Great Gatsby|2013}}]]
* Dom opening the video with a reenactment of the iconic "Creator/LeonardoDicaprio raising a champagne glass as fireworks go off in the background" shot from the film.
-->'''Dom:''' Sorry, there wasn't really a purpose to that, I've just, uh, always wanted to try it.
:: : [[BookEnds At the end]], he raises the glass again in farewell, and is surprised when the fireworks and music start up again, then go away when he lowers it. He repeats the act a few times to test out this phenomenon, then shrugs and leans down to slurp from the glass.
* Replacing his usual "Hello, my beautiful watchers" with "Hello, old sports."
-->'''Dom:''' Uh, that's a thing from the book, I'm not suddenly playing up to British stereotypes...
* Even after finally laying the ''Fifty Shades'' reviews to rest, they have still left their mark, putting a damper on Dom's enjoyment of some scenes in the Gatsby film due to the use of contemporary pop songs in the soundtrack.
* Describing the first interaction between Tom and Gatsby as the two men "verbally [measuring] dicks".
* As book!Nick has a crisis realizing he's no longer in his twenties:
-->'''Dom:''' ''[sigh]'' Big mood...

[[AC:Game of Thrones S1 E10]]
* [[MemeticMutation The reaction]] to Sansa's sassy response to Joffrey's threats.
* When Renly jumps the gun on declaring himself king:
-->'''Dom:''' ''[falsetto]'' [[Film/LifeOfBrian He's not the king, he's a very naughty boy!]]
* "The Greatjon Umber suggests forming their OWN kingdom [[CallBack with blackjack, and hookers]]!"
* The smiley-face emoji popping up over Drogo's face when Dom mentions Dany trying to snap him out of his coma via blowjob.
* "Despite the show later ''claiming'' that Mirri Maz Duur told Dany that she would be unable to bear children ever again... [[AdaptationInducedPlotHole they did not in fact include that part of her prophecy]]. A-whoopsie-doodle..."
* Dany's bodyguards' [[GirlsHaveCooties initial response to her declaring them her bloodriders]].
* Dom being glad that Dany's hair somehow surviving the flames in the show means he can go out on "'''[[RunningGag GAME OF THRONES HATES BALDNESS]]'''."

[[AC:Film/{{Wanted}}]]
* Dom not even TRYING to pronounce the name of the film's director, or to match his mouth movements to the pronunciation program he dubs in to say it for him.
* "After a gunfight, and a car chase that defies all the laws of physics... [[ArtisticLicensePhysics and I do mean all of them, even the ones we've not discovered yet]]..."
* [[ThisIsGonnaSuck The LONG beat]] when Dom gets to the reveal of [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext how the assassins' targets are chosen]].
* Naturally, Creator/ChrisPratt being in the film results in [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy some]] [[Series/ParksAndRecreation references]].
* "It's a bit worrying when [[ArtisticLicenseBiology 'lots of adrenaline equals the power to leap between buildings, curve bullets, and have an indestructible face']] is the ''least'' questionable thing in your movie."
* "During the exhaustive research I did for this episode... aaand by that I mean I asked [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]..."

[[AC:Film/MinorityReport]]
* "''Minority Report'' hit theatres in 2002 to a resounding cry of..."
-->'''Movie-goer 1:''' Well that was... [[SoOkayItsAverage pretty good]].\\
'''Movie-goer 2:''' Yeah, pretty good... You, uh, wanna grab dinner?\\
'''Movie-goer 1:''' Sure, I could eat.
* The mumbling RunningGag.
** When discussing the changes in the pre-crime system in the film:
--->'''Dom:''' Only murders are predicted, because ''[mumbling]'' plot convenience ''[mumbling]''.
** Regarding the "murder echo" phenomenon:
--->'''Dom:''' Witwer asks why the precogs are predicting the crime again after it was prevented, and is told that because ''[mumbling]'' science ''[mumbling]'' plot convenience...
** "They also pretty firmly established that precogs can only see murder happening, [[RuleOfThree because]] ''[mumbling]'' metaphysics ''[mumbling]''..."
* "Is there an opposite for 'having his cake and eating it'? Uh... 'Vomiting on his cake, and also the cake is made of BEEEES!'"

[[AC:[[Film/TheThing1982 John Carpenter's The Thing]]]]
* When discussing author Creator/JohnWCampbell's credentials:
-->'''Dom:''' He was also ''super'' racist, writing multiple essays about how ''awesome'' segregation is when you really think about it, so, uh... there's that.
* "[[PurpleProse No one talks naturally in this book]], unless these arctic researchers also happen to all minor in poetry, I suppose..."
* Dom has never actually seen the film before the review due to not being a huge fan of the horror genre, [[TemptingFate but he's]] ''[[TemptingFate sure]]'' [[TemptingFate he can handle it]]...
-->'''Dom:''' ...[[InstantlyProvenWrong Nope!]] Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope...
:: : He then ends up calling his friend That Movie Chick for help. She immediately knows what he's calling about.
--->'''Chick:''' ...You tried to watch a scary movie [[NoodleIncident again]], didn't you?\\
'''Dom:''' ''[whimpering]'' [[ManChild Mm-hm.]]\\
'''Chick:''' You want me to come over and watch it with you?\\
'''Dom:''' ''[whimpering]'' Mm-hm.\\
''[JumpCut to the two of them watching the film, That Movie Chick eating popcorn and Dom fearfully hugging a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Ditto]] plushie]''\\
'''Chick:''' You know, you really need to learn to watch grown-up movies on your own.
* That Movie Chick agrees to stick around for the review because, "[[DeadpanSnarker Someone's got to keep you from hiding underneath your desk.]]"
* That Movie Chick looking around at Dom's usual greenscreened background and wondering ''where'' exactly they are filming this review.
-->'''Chick:''' Are we in your, like, pocket dimension, or something?\\
'''Dom:''' ...You know, I've never really thought about it. Once you're part of the Reviewer-verse [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight you just stop questioning things]]. I have [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall a friend who has his own spaceship]].\\
'''Chick:''' ...Oh.
* That Movie Chick theorizes that the research station in the film was stocked with so many firearms because they were worried about [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack wampas]].
* "Well done, chaps. You found a ship that had survived for twenty-million years and could have advanced human technology by millennia, and you blew it up in less than a day. This is why we can't have nice things."
* At the end, That Movie Chick telling Dom that she's proud of him for getting through this, and wants to treat him to a showing of ''Film/TheFly1986''. Dom [[HereWeGoAgain walks off shaking his head with a litany of "Nope"]] as she tries to sell him on it.
-->'''Chick:''' The author's not racist! He's a Nazi-killing spy!\\
'''Dom:''' NOPE.

[[AC:Literature/TheThreeMusketeers]]
* "Bonjour mes beaux observateurs, and that is my knowledge of French thoroughly exhausted."
* After Dom makes his preemptive apology for his likely mispronunciation of French names, the screen freezes and "Dom from the editing room" walks in to give a ''second'' preemptive apology, this time for having over-corrected in his attempts to get the pronunciation of D'Artagnan right throughout the episode.
* The dramatic camera zoom-in on Dom's face as he drops the "shocking revelation" that ''The Three Musketeers'' is a true story... then he admits that it would be more accurate to say it's a fictional retelling of a true story... then concedes that it's more like a fictional retelling of a story that was based on a true story... [[OverlyLongGag then]] says that even ''that's'' a stretch, and after a detailed explanation finally sums up the book as "a mostly-fictional story, based on a semi-fictional story, based on some potentially-true but probably-exaggerated stories about a real-life person."
-->'''Dom:''' Which, if you think about it, means that all of the films I'm going to talk about in the next episode are [[MotorMouth adaptations of a mostly-fictional story based on a semi-fictional story based on some potentially-true but probably-exaggerated stories about a real-life person]]. Now that we've established that in a clear and simple manner, please allow me to recount the plot of this game-of-telephone account of history."
* A lot of his unimpressed descriptions of D'Artagnan's... [[JerkAss questionable actions]].
-->'''Dom:''' Upon learning [that Constance has been given over to the scarred man], D'Artagnan bravely [[BaitAndSwitch leaves Paris and goes to find his missing friends]].\\
'''Dom:''' In what is apparently standard D'Artagnan courtship, [[StalkerWithACrush he stalks her across the city for a while]]...\\
'''Dom:''' D'Artagnan agrees that [no longer seeing Milady de Winter] is a good idea, then ''immediately'' does the opposite, forging another letter from Des Wardes throwing all sorts of shade on Milady, and informing her the seventeenth-century French equivalent of "he got hoes in different area codes," so she's going to have to wait in line.
* "The next small section of the book is wrapped up in the four men's financial troubles, which was... surprising to read in a book famous for being the ultimate swashbuckling tale of daring exploits."
* Describing Creator/AlexandreDumas as "one of those authors who will never use one word when he can use forty-seven".
* "D'Artagnan is... the worst. He's just... awful. He's... bad awful. I mean he's, he's a dickhead. He's the biggest dickhead who ever dickheaded."
* "Milady, on the other hand, is treated as the ''true'' villain of the story, because she ''seduces'' and ''murders'' people... but, you know, she does it ''sneakily'', so that makes it bad, [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality unlike when the Musketeers do exactly the same thing, 'cause th-that's good. It's good when they do it.]]"
* "They drop the D-man being a straight-up rapist, choosing instead to make him a total man-whore."
* While one film merely hinted that Milady stole two of the Duke's diamonds while sleeping with him, another makes it explicit, leading to:
-->'''Dom:''' This film goes right ahead and confirms that Buckingham lost his rocks while getting his... well, you get the idea.
* Snarking that the 1993 Disney film's re-imagining of D'Artagnan's backstory obviously includes a dead father. Then is taken aback and forced to give due credit when the backstory given for his father's death (perished failing to prevent the assassination of the king's predecessor) actually lines up with the history.
* Summing up the Disney film's version of Milady's first encounter with D'Artagnan:
-->'''Dom:''' She falls in with D'Artagnan's plot because she finds him unconscious by the side of the road, and is like, "Ooooh, a lost teenager. Put my super-important mission on hold and bring him to my boudoir."
* "She had ''one'' job, and she got distracted from it because she wanted to bang Batman's sidekick!"
* Also regarding the Disney film: "There is one ''solitary'' person in all of France with a French accent."
* "The only reason I can come up with for [the 2011 film] to exist is, sometime in the late 2000s, someone saw the 1993 version and said, 'Pfff! You call that ''silly''? ''We'll'' show you silly.'"
* When judging which film had the most book-accurate D'Artagnan, stating that the versions from the two InNameOnly films are not necessarily out of the running, because "the characters themselves are sufficiently douchey and full of themselves to be dislikable just like book D'Artagnan." In the end, though, Dom ends up giving the win to ''none'' of them, as he felt they were all upgraded with too many actual redeeming qualities to really be the same character from the book.
* "If you agree with my decisions, you can tell me about that too, because... well, I like reading about being right."
* Dom spends the entirety of the third video in full musketeer cosplay, including a large mustache.
* "Hello my beautiful watchers. Tell me something, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you consider ''The Three Musketeers'' by Alexandre Dumas? Yes, that ''is'' correct: the Soviet Union."
-->'''Dom:''' So, uh, yay, you get to hear me mispronounce some Russian names as well as French ones in this episode.
* "I was very impressed with the way that this series recreated Cardinal Richelieu's sense of presence. You get the distinct impression that everyone in the room [[BringMyBrownPants lets out just a tiny little bit of wee]] when he walks in looking annoyed about something."
* Dom briefly wondering if he could say his opening catchphrase in Russian.
-->'''Google Translate:''' [[AC: Здравствуйте, мои прекрасные наблюдатели.]]\\
'''Dom:''' ...Uh...[[NoJustNoReaction nyet]].

[[AC:Film/TheAndromedaStrain]]
* Noting how much of the book is given over to describing scientific experiments, Dom gets the impression that Creator/MichaelCrichton... [[GeekyTurnOn really,]] ''[[GeekyTurnOn really LOVES]]'' [[GeekyTurnOn science]].
-->'''Hotline operator:''' ''[sexily]'' Thank you for calling the ''naughty'' science appreciation line, the premium phone line that satisfies all your confused feelings towards cutting-edge technology and scientific theories.

'''Hotline operator:''' The electron microscope was a magnificent tool I'd ''love'' to get my hands on...

[[AC:WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheGoblin]]
* Dom's disgust for the animation on the human characters.
* Noting the odd commercial on the VHS release with the cosplaying voice actress for Irene's grandmother shilling an emergency pre-paid phone card.
-->'''Dom''' (as the grandmother): Hello, children! Remember, you should never wander off from your parents, but if you do you should call them immediately with this card. [[HypocriticalHumor Now, please enjoy this movie where I command a preteen to blindly march into some demonstrably unsafe caves, unaccompanied by an adult.]]
** Immediately after the skit, Dom is still wearing the wig before he goes into the review proper.
* Dom showing off his Creator/RikMayall impression every chance he gets.
* When film!Irene causes Froglip to [[DisneyVillainDeath fall to his death]], the screen freezes on her smiling face, with the caption "ADDICTED TO MURDER NOW."
* ''(falsetto)'' [[HilariousOuttakes "Look at me]], I'm [[Series/GameOfThrones Cersei Lannister]]! [[TakeThat I'm just gonna drink wine on the balcony, for two seasons...]]"

[[AC:Film/JohnnyMnemonic]]
* "Back when this book was written I'm sure the idea of a popular mainstream fascist movement was quite the outlandish dystopian fiction concept. Simpler times."
* Naturally, the question of how an adaptation written by the short story's author ended up InNameOnly must be asked, and naturally, the answer boils down to "the usual suspect":
-->'''Dom''': '''[[ExecutiveMeddling STUDIO INTERFERENCE]]'''. [[DramaticThunder *lightning bolt*]]
* Dom has to laugh over how film!Johnny's computer brain's storage capacity is about the same as that of a $30 portable harddrive, as well as all the slightly futurized versions of nineties' technology.
-->'''Dom''': This film is one of those wonderful examples of people predicting the future ''really'' badly.
* There's just something about Dom [[TrrrillingRrrs trilling his R's]] when mocking Johnny's SkywardScream [[{{Narm}} of his desire for room service]] that adds an extra touch of hilarity.
* The bit mocking Creator/DolphLundgren [[DullSurprise not really putting much effort into his character's death scream]].
* "[...]Johnny and Jane suddenly remember that [[TokenRomance they're a man and a woman in a movie, so they must be in love]]..."

[[AC: Film/AClockworkOrange]]
* "Creator/AnthonyBurgess, like all the coolest people, hailed from Great Britain."
* Dom giving a sample of Nadsat slang.
* The skit from the non-American editions' final book chapter, between Alex speaking Nadsat and Pete speaking regular English.

[[AC:I listened to an Amish romance novel on Audible]]
* Dom shamelessly throwing a quick commercial for Audible into his introduction, even though this particular video wasn't sponsored.
* The novel's use of various Pennsylvania Dutch words ends up being unexpectedly familiar.
-->'''Dom''': Yeah, I didn't expect this book to have anything in common with ''Literature/AClockworkOrange'' either, but here we are!
* [[RunningGag #[=NotAllMen=]-good-guy Brock]].
* Dom's reenactment of a scene where a man wins over his girlfriend's father by saving his life from a very convenient robber. "Amish PUNCH!"
* To demonstrate just how supportive the daughters of one of the main characters are about their mother and #[=NotAllMen=]-good-guy Brock:
-->'''Daughter 1:''' Yaaaay! New daddy!
-->'''Daughter 2:''' This guy’s awesome! You should kiss him and make a ''BEHBEY''!
* [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Jesus swipes right so you don't have to!"]]
* Dom noting all the stories' noticeable lack of stakes.
-->'''Naomi''': We ''can't'' be together, because you're not Amish!\\
'''#[=NotAllMen=]-good-guy Brock''': ''(shrug)'' I'll convert.\\
'''Naomi''': Oh. Okay.\\
'''Janie''': We ''can't'' be together, because you live really far away!\\
'''Jonathon''': ''(shrug)'' I'll move closer.\\
'''Janie''': ...Sweet!\\
'''Dinah''': We ''can't'' be together, because we've only known each other for two weeks!\\
'''Amos''': ''(shrug)'' Let's just get married anyway.\\
'''Dinah''': Good idea!
* At the end, Dom reveals his ulterior motive for reviewing this audiobook: Calluna is the narrator.

[[AC:Film/CapeFear]]
* Dom's reenactment of part of the book where a completely out-of-his-depth Bowden tries to hire some tougher thugs to get rid of Cady after the last ones failed.
** First he tries at a bar.
--->'''Bowden:''' ''[to the bartender]'' Yes, hello, I was wondering if you could help me. I'm looking to speak to a mafia, please.
** Then he tries a random thug on the street.
--->'''Bowden:''' Excuse me, young man. Would you be interested in hearing about a special job I need doing?\\
'''Thug:''' Eh, not particularly. But do you have a few moments to talk about the good word of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior?\\
'''Bowden:''' Well, this was unexpected.
* Dom trying to figure out how to do a kid's voice in the bloopers.
-->'''Dom:''' ''[falsetto]'' We should find out... ''[normal]'' No, that's Mickey Mouse.\\
'''Dom''': For some reason I can't say "He killed my dog," in that voice without slipping into some weird pseudo-Cockney. "'e killed my dog, guv'na!"\\
'''Dom''': A lisp is definitely the way to go, lisp instantly equals "child." ''(one take later)'' Maybe not...sounds a bit like Gollum.

[[AC:Was ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' Worth All The Adaptations?]]
* This part from the reenactment of Raoul's conversation with Christine and her adopted mother, after he has declared that the "angel of music" that taught Christine to sing is in fact an impostor:
-->'''Raoul:''' Madame, I believe your adopted daughter is in clear and present danger!\\
'''Madame Valerius:''' From who?\\
'''Raoul:''' From the angel!\\
'''Madame Valerius:''' ...I thought you just said there is no angel.\\
'''Raoul:''' ...There isn't!\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Madame Valerius:''' Thanks for dropping by, Viscount.
** Making the whole thing better is that Dom gives Madame Valerius an old lady voice straight out of Creator/MontyPython.
* The quick sketch where Dom, as he's narrating at the time, recreates Christine telling Raoul about when she met Erik through mime, ending with her miming pulling off Erik's mask and reacting in exaggerated terror.
* His skit where Raoul and the Persian discover that the ominous flaming disembodied head that some opera employees saw was just a rat-catcher with a torch.
* Dom's reenactment of the Persian confronting Erik about the strange happenings at the opera house, only for Erik to blow him off with almost childlike BlatantLies. He claims the falling chandelier was "old as balls", the Count fell into the water and drowned on his own, and that Joseph was already strangled when he found him.
* The blooper reel shows Dom's filming ''continuously'' being interrupted by his cats, and notes the irony of his having to cut the bottom off the black mask he used for playing Erik so that he could actually ''speak'' through it.
* Dom pointing out that "Erik" would be a strange, exotic name to French people but comes across as TomTheDarkLord to English speakers.
* In the behind-the-scenes/bloopers for the third video, he swears that Jennifer Ellison's Scouse accent comes through in spots on film: "'ere, it's the Phantom of the Opera, let's kick his fookin 'ead in!"

[[AC:Interview With the Vampire]]
* Dom explains that Rice's vampires die when turned, which means they void their bowels. This was wisely [[NoDeadBodyPoops left out of the film]] and Dom demonstrates why by having Louis and Lestat say their beautiful, PurpleProse lines while [[ToiletHumor audibly farting and shitting]].
* The sketch of Lestat casually looking through Louis's ledger and deciding to use his money to buy a pony as Louis is going through the incredibly painful transformation into a vampire right next to him.
