* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: The Critic spots so many parallels between the movie scenes and Smith`s slap incident that at one point he has to swear he didn't choose that movie on purpose.
* RunningGag: Hancock says or does something stupid/violent which could be used as a parallel to the Oscar incident, but because this review was originally finished before said incident, a clip of Smith saying "Damn" or a pic of the slap incident with the title "missed joke" is used to highlight another missed opportunity.
* SkewedPriorities: PlayedForLaughs when Charlize Theron's character reveals that she has superpowers too, Critic says that the most important question is whether or not she could have open a pickle jar she'd asked her husband to earlier.

* RealitySubtext:[[invoked]] By the Critic's admission, much of the review fell under the shadow of Creator/WillSmith (John Hancock) infamously slapping Creator/ChrisRock on stage while the latter was introducing the candidates for the Best Documentary Feature award during the 2022 UsefulNotes/AcademyAwardsCeremonies after he made a rather insensitive joke about the buzz-cut hairstyle of Will's wife Creator/JadaPinkettSmith (who at the time was suffering from hair loss). As the incident occurred while this episode was already in post-production, the Critic admits that the crew did not have ample time to incorporate verbal jokes about the incident, merely settling for a "Missed Joke" counter.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Lampshaded in-universe; the Critic makes a disclaimer that this review was planned and finished before the incident where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face, meaning that not only was the choice to review this particular movie a complete coincidence, but they never had the chance to make fun of the many parallels between Hancock and Will Smith post-incident, let alone a whole review dedicated to that.
