* HePannedItNowHeSucks: As with other popular movie critics, the reviewers at Spill receive this every now and then for certain movie reviews.
** This happened with Co-Host when he gave ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1]]'' a rental. Even that is nothing compared to Leon giving ''Film/{{Inception}}'' a low Matinee. As Carlyle said when he heard about it:
--> '''Carlyle''': [[DisproportionateRetribution That crazy son of a bitch! Does he want to die?!]]
** This also works both ways. As the crew has actually received hate for ''liking'' certain films.

Dewicking Just For Pun


* FanNickname: Korey is Captain Matinee (though he prefers the moniker of The Black Wonder), Leon is The Spoiler, Cyrus is The [=PUNisher=], Kevin is Captain Sassy, Nick is [[IronicNickname The Ass Crusher]], and Brian Salisbury is [[JustForPun Steak]] [[Film/EscapeFromNewYork Plissken]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Korey jokes in the [[Series/{{Jackass}} Jackass 3D]] review that the cast is going to do something stupid enough to get them killed. Less than a year after the film's release, Ryan Dunn was killed while driving under influence.

Laser Guided Karma is not YMMV.


* LaserGuidedKarma: The entire situation of "DJ" Kent Aron and his early review of ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' from a stolen print of the film. Often compare to Creator/DonaldTrump , "DJ" Kent Aron was a infamous member of the community who was known for having a jerkass attitude and yet maintaining influential power within the most popular members and even the main crew. He would gladly express his dislike for movies that the crew were okay with (such as buying a copy of Disney's ''Enchanted'' just so he could throw it away despite watching only the first ''5 minutes''.) Liking movies that everyone hated (''The Human Centipede 2'') praising himself as a talented musician despite being a rent-a-DJ, and taking great pleasure in Cyber bullying the site's youngest members. His popularity was all due to his Myspace celebrity status within people of the same regional area than any credit to the Site, with the exception of the forum's pet mascot Chix Champa, who liked his divisive reputation. His presence and harassments would often leave to many members Rage-Quitting the forums and the community has a result of his antics and his untouchable status within the community, as few dare to stand up to him and Chix. So no surprise that when the review came in and the site got hit by a lawsuit, (Korey mentions being horrified when he saw the site being shown on places like CNN) many watched with pure pleasure as Kent not only suffered a hit to his ego but also fell from grace and became the Site's [[ButtMonkey butt-monkey]] and was regarded as a joke. Even sweeter, when the site ended and Korey started ''Double Toasted'', "DJ" Kent Aron didn't joined and in fact seems to have disappeared from the Online world.

** Pops up yet again in their review of ''A Better Life''. Where the perpetually [[TheCynic cynical Cyrus]], has a hard time swallowing the leads saintly behavior, only to get called on it by Co-host.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Korey would receive calls almost exclusively from 13-17 years old's during earlier episodes of The Secret Call-in Show. This would usually result in him expressing disappointment. His theory is that the kiddies are drawn in by the animated reviews.

* BrokenBase: Possibly the 20-second review style in the video reviews. It had its detractors even on the site itself, but it was more noticeable in the comments section of their Website/YouTube uploads, where the more vocal audience there typically did not visit the website often and hear the uncut audio reviews.

** And of course recently this happened with Co-Host when he gave ''[[Film/HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1]]'' a rental. Even that is nothing compared to Leon giving ''Film/{{Inception}}'' a low Matinee. As Carlyle said when he heard about it:

** During their review of ''Film/PunisherWarZone'', the crew joked about the idea of a zombified Frank Castle punishing the guilty, a full year before Marvel introduced ''Franken-Castle''.

** This also works both ways. As the crew has actually received hate for ''liking'' certain films.
* ValuesDissonance: Seeing as how it's a review site with (mostly) four guys who come from different walks of life and each have radically different views on just about everything, it was only natural that this trope would come up.
** Korey, and Leon would always have trouble empathizing with films that dealt with "white people problems". See their review of Film/IntoTheWild, where the two aforementioned critics found the main lead to be far less sympathetic then Carlyle, and Cyrus did.
** Pops up yet again in their review of ''A Better Life''. Where the perpetually [[TheCynic cynical Cyrus]], has a hard time swallowing the leads saintly behavior, only to get called on it by Co-host.

* HellIsThatNoise: Jeff's snickering can get this reaction during Loading Bar videos, as it often can come out of nowhere and resembles less his usual laugh as much as a crackling noise.
