History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS4E9

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: During the scene where a {{Website/Yahoo}} sign falls on Dr. Claw's car, the Critic makes sure to point out that he didn't add the jingle.

* CatchPhrase: After Inspector Gadget comes back to life "through the will of heart", The Critic waits for [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers Ma-Ti]] to come in any say his catchphrase, "Heart". But when he doesn't, The Critic visits Ma-Ti and forces him to say it.

* CallBack: One of the gadgets that Inspector Gadget has is an item that blows bubbles. When this appears in the movie, the "FUCKING BUBBLES!" clip plays, which was first used in the "Return of the Nostalgic Commercials" video.

* FromBadToWorse: The Critic considers Broderick's performance as the evil RoboGadget to be even worse than when he's playing Inspector Gadget.

'''Film:''' ''Film/InspectorGadget'' (1999)

* BerserkButton: For the Critic, the gag clips and the fact that we see Dr. Claw's face serve as this.

* WorstWhateverEver: He completely tears apart the fourth wall joke made when Scopes, Kramer and Gadget all stare collectively at the camera for no reason in a nod to the audience, calling it one of the worst of its kind for being so poorly thought out.

* ClicheStorm: InUniverse, the Critic accuses the film of being this, noting its reliance on overused gags, jokes, and sound effects in its attempts at comedy. He even notes that several of the gags take on an identical pattern in which some slapstick happens, and random henchmen gives a "huh?" expression, and Inspector Gadget mugs for the camera like an idiot (which he calls "slapstick, 'huh?', idiot" for short).

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: The Critic feigns optimism when he notes that the director of this movie is the same direction responsible for ''Cool As Ice''.

* GagDub: The Critic creates two for different movies in response to certain moments in the ''Inspector Gadget'' film -- one for ''Film/ANewHope'', in which Darth Vader accidentally lets slip to Princess Leia that he's her father and is relieved when she didn't understand (based on the film's attempt to keep Dr. Claw's face in the shadows after it has already been revealed); and one for ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', in which an interrogation between Clarice and Hannibal has obnoxious sound effects added to it (inspired by the cartoon sound effect that constantly play throughout the movie).

--> '''Critic''': So, let's just recap; Dr. Claw isn’t called Dr. Claw, he doesn't own a terrorist organization called MAD, he sounds less like a monster and more like a fashion critic, and the fact that you never see in the show is being replaced with SEEING HIM ALL THE TIME! I mean, WOW; did they get ONE thing right? Why did you change so much? Were you afraid that if you stuck too closely to the cartoon that it wouldn't be taken as seriously?

* SoOkayItsAverage: The Critic admits that while he thinks the [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget show]] is good for kids, he doesn't find it to be anything special.

* ReviewIronicEcho: One of the characters in the film says, "God, you're annoying." The Critic replied, "I actually think that was the critic's quote on the DVD." Cut to a photoshopped DVD cover with that quote, from Creator/RogerEbert.
