History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS7E8

* OhCrap: The Critic's reaction upon being handed a "Seuss Zero" drink and realizing [[WesternAnimation/TheLorax what he's about]] [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS7E9 to review next]].

* ShoutOut: During the archery scene, Critic wonders if the scene will turn into a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sebastian Saint Sebastian]] homage, and then [[LampshadeTheObscureReference ponders if the viewer would even get that reference]].

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A very literal example of this trope is put in play during the scene where the animals come under attack by the crocodiles while rescuing Odette; noting their uncanny resemblance to the crocodile from ''All Dogs Go To Heaven'', he calls it the Big Lipped Alligator Stealing.

* ReviewIronicEcho: The tagline "This isn't my idea of fun" comes from the song "This Is My Idea".
* RunningGag:
** Critic pointing out how strange Rothbart's name is, especially considering that he's the villain.
** Derek only loving Odette for her beauty and nothing else.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: During the scene where Derek wants everything on the ball to be "like a swan", the Critic points out that a swan actually has a number of disgusting things (like eating its excrement and being dirty, being an animal and all) and as such the insistence is rather goofy.

* ActorAllusion: [[invoked]] The Critic prefers Creator/JohnCleese's [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail other role]] which featured him doing a French accent, and dubs it over the frog (voiced by Cleese)...

* WitchHunt: Once the Critic points out that the description for Rothbart's beast form (a "great animal") doesn't exactly makes for a small number of suspects once Derek figures out that it's a ''transforming'' animal, he puts up a sketch with [[RedScare Senator Joseph McCarthy]] asking a number of cartoon animals if they are the Great Animal and Derek killing them with an arrow regardless of their answer. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou It culminates with the Critic having to dodge an arrow himself]].
