History WebVideo / RegularCarReviews

* NWordPrivileges: {{Invoked|Trope}} with the "And I'm GAY!" running gag in the Studebaker Lark and Hyundai Ioniq 5 reviews. After he says the phrase, Mr. Regular reads a mock disclaimer reminding the audience that he is a gay man in real life and "is authorized to make PG and PG-13 gay jokes".

** "...on an EMPTY ROAD IN MEXICO.", following up statements about a car's owner testing the vehicle's top speed well in excess of statutory or posted speed limits.

* EnforcedPlug: RCR is too weird to get sponsored and rarely gets press cars, but the advertisements for the website at the beginning of 2021 videos fit. They get weirder over time.

* GutturalGrowler: '''THE MEAT, ''' or “The Voice” is Mr. Regular’s guttural, raspy voice that happens every time he talks about crude subjects. It changes in some episodes as “The Meat” gets into more crude topics.

* ShoutOut:
** To Marty and Moog from ''Mighty Car Mods'' in the Veloster review.
** To Mike Musto of the /Drive Network in the XB review.
** To ''Film/WaynesWorld'' in the Delorean review.
** To, of all things, ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'', in the Jeep TJ review, with Mr. Regular going so far as to call it "The Toriel of Cars".
*** Undertale pops up a few more times, including in the Barracuda review, a darker reference in the Corolla review, and a recent commissioned skit featuring [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jI5X0YazkM Undyne commenting on a Hemi Cuda]].

** In "RCR Goes to a Steam Engine Show", when Mr. Regular shows off a stand selling homemade soap:
-->'''Mr. Regular:''' [[Film/FightClub You do not talk about Fight Club!]]
** The second Honda S2000 review to ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', as The Roman sings to the melody of Terra's Theme and Mr. Regular refers to the car as the "Final Fantasy VI of cars, it's the car you're supposed to like".
** In "RCR Looks for a Bathroom at a Car Show", Mr. Regular comments on a [[TheFifties 2nd Generation]] Ford F-100:
-->'''Mr. Regular:''' [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Quick, we have to escape the Shin-ra Building!]]
** The Roman's credits song for the Volvo C303 review is a parody of "Born Depressed", the main theme of the {{WebVideo/Jimquisition}}.
** The credit song for the Callaway Corvette C7 [=AeroWagon=] parodies "Rap is a Man's Soul" from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
** During the Dodge Viper review, as Mr. Regular is winding up for an AuthorFilibuster about car manufacturers tendency to market their sports models in manual transmission only, he talks about how the companies want to naturally appeal to the '''[[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation MANUAL MASTER RACE]]'''.
** From the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon review:
---> "I'm a Dodge Demon, I ruin marriages faster than ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' squid porn put together."
** Mr. Regular makes repeated reference to the [[Franchise/StarTrek Rules of Acquisition]]. The Roman also references the Rules of Acquisition during RCR Car Stories videos.

** The Porsche Cayman, NY Auto Show, and Porsche 928 reviews are reviewed in the style of Hunter S. Thompson. The Gonzo references show up again when Mr. Regular reviews the Ducati 900ss cr bike, this time to Thompson's "Song of the Sausage Creature" article.

* BadHumorTruck: "Iron blocks and pushrods are for airport shuttle, thinks "Ah, this is what I'm looking for," and watches it. As Mr. Regular puts it:

* SelfDeprecation: Whenever he brings his own cars to car shows. For example, "This dick" when showing the Vagabond Falcon in "Pypes Car Show 2016".

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Mr. Regular himself might be this in real life. He's almost always wearing sandals outside, and is usually barefoot when at home. It doesn't help that he's a very tall man with big-ass feet.

** In the 1994 Chevy Astro Van review, the intro depicts Mr. Regular borrowing his friend's Astro to masturbate in during high school marching band practice.

* DumbassDJ: First appears to deliver most of the 1994 Lincoln Town Car review.
-->"He-hey! Welcome back to 98.3 The Beer Belly! We got Hawaiian shirts, Bud Light in a beer koozie, [[Music/JimmyBuffett Cheeseburger in Paradise]] coming up top of the hour, and we're giving away a Lincoln Town Car!"

** Earlier episodes made heavy use of copyrighted images and music. As the series became popular enough to justify monetizing, these have disappeared, and the intro songs were replaced by original works by the Roman.
