* HopeSpot: When the movie leads to Arnold being DisguisedInDrag, the Critic cheers up from his bordom, believing that the movie would finally "bring back the bullshit". All the excitement disappears when he realises that this would also be played seriously.

* LimitedAnimation: The Critic pulls this off in ''live-action'', when screaming among initially seeing baby Arnold and dashes off to the bathroom to puke, he leaps out of his chair and ''slides'' off-screen like a "WesternAnimation/GoldenBookVideo" Picturemation character.

* ImagineSpot: {{Subverted|Trope}}. The Critic describes a hypothetical scenario that if Ivan Reitman directed ''Film/{{Juno}}'' instead of his son, we'd get Arnold Schwarzenegger as a pregnant teenage girl, and it's played completely seriously. However, no imagery comes out of it, leading the Critic to exclaim that since he set up a joke, we should at least be shown something. [[spoiler:The nightmare baby ends up being shown again.]]



* SoOkayItsAverage: Invoked: The Critic's main criticism of the film; he was mostly bored by it. He was hoping a plotline as ridiculous as "Arnold Schwarzenegger, pregnant" would elicit a SoBadItsGood response, but no such luck.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot[[invoked]]: The Critic laments that the movie had not taken advantage of the comic potential of Arnold Schwarzenegger being pregnant and disguised as a woman, resulting in a boring movie.

* FreezeFrameBonus: Why shouldn't men have children? The Critic lists why: "It's morally insane. Men don't have vaginas. Men don't have uteruses. You’d be playing Genetic Monopoly. No man would volunteer unless doing it for a movie role. There'd be a lot more complaining. Abortions would skyrocket. EVERY child would be left behind. Men would never take care of themselves properly. A man could get pregnant just by jerking off (I think). Jesus would cry. God knows what kind of mutations would arise. This would probably be some form of incest. Every man would have his tubes tied. If a baby kicks, the man would probably kick back. No man is going through friggin C-section. Men are horrible at throwing baby showers. No man could resist alcohol during pregnancy. In fact, they’d probably drink more. No man is wearing a mumu. We’d just look silly. Our solution to losing the baby weight would be "Losing the baby." No man would ever have sex again if they knew a baby would come out of it—excuse me—out of THEM! Men have no practice. Men have no patience. Men have no... just, fuck, we're not doing it!"
