| 6 | [[folder:327: All Star Batman and Robin #9]] |
| 7 | * Dubbing the comic "[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Crazy Steve's Magical Drug Journey of Madness]]". |
| 8 | * Linkera screaming "WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?" in response to Steve's long inner monologue. |
| 9 | * |
| 10 | -->'''Crazy Steve:''' Then maybe I'd spank Superman's butt back to what's left of Krypton. Just for laughs.\ |
| 11 | '''Linkara:''' Crazy Steve, Age 12. |
| 12 | * Crazy Steve generally being condescending about Superman in the most pettiest ways possible. |
| 13 | -->'''Linkara (as Crazy Steve):''' Stupid poophead lost his parents ''and'' his entire species. ''NEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!'' |
| 14 | * This exchange of JokeAndReceive. |
| 15 | -->'''Crazy Steve:''' The kid impressed the hell out of me after I showed him the '''paint cans''' and '''roller'''. Sure, he '''bellyached''' every '''minute''' and '''quit''' being '''the Boy Wonder''' eight times, but he '''finished''' the job with nearly an '''hour''' to spare.\ |
| 16 | '''Linkara (as Crazy Steve):''' It was really difficult getting that paint roller into every nook and cranny of my body, but I think it was worth it.\ |
| 17 | '''Crazy Steve:''' [[AccidentalInnuendo Fast hands, my little Robin.]]\ |
| 18 | '''Linkara:''' ''[[IWasJustJoking I WAS KIDDING!]]''\ |
| 19 | '''Crazy Steve:''' [[{{Squick}} Fast hands, big mouth...]]\ |
| 20 | '''Linkara:''' '''''[[TooMuchInformation STOP TALKING!!]]''''' |
| 21 | * The Mahjong sketch, especially the line from Snowflame. |
| 22 | -->'''Dick Grayson, Age 12:''' This is the '''weirdest''' time to find out that '''Batman''' is '''Bruce Wayne''', but this is no time for '''thinking'''.\ |
| 23 | '''Linkara:''' The mantra of this entire series. |
| 24 | -->'''Crazy Steve:''' I had years to '''grieve'''.\ |
| 25 | '''Linkara (as Crazy Steve):''' This wouldn't have happened in my day! This is all rock and roll's fault! |
| 26 | * Crazy Steve taunting Green Lantern with lemonade. |
| 27 | -->'''Green Lantern''': Damn you and your lemonade!\ |
| 28 | '''Linkara:''' ''(holding a can of lemonade)'' Well... Screw you too. |
| 29 | ** Also Linkara claiming that Robin bought pink lemonade and they had to paint that yellow too. |
| 30 | * Linkara praising the comic twice, then getting jitters because praising it feels so [[SickAndWrong wrong]]. |
| 31 | * After Crazy Steve has a PetTheDog moment near the end, Linkara concludes that he was so far off the deep end to begin with that huffing paint fumes made him ''more'' sane. |
| 32 | * "And I just realized I never said that this is Miller Time. (''starts to hum "Pizzicato Playtime"'') Ah, screw it." |
| 33 | [[/folder]] |
| 34 | |
| 35 | [[folder:328: Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters #2]] |
| 36 | * The comic opens with the guy from the last issue searching for his missing children... as in the ones who became "sandwiches". |
| 37 | -->'''Linkara:''' Get it?! [[DontExplainTheJoke Because they were in the]] ''[[DontExplainTheJoke sand]]'', and... ''(beat)'' ...Shut up! |
| 38 | * "Please help me! I'm a fisherman from Niijima! My children are missing! Their names are Isamu and Kameko!" |
| 39 | -->'''Linkara!Fisherman Dad:''' They haven't done their chores, and I have to ground them, [[SkewedPriorities or else their mother will kill me]]! Please help! |
| 40 | * Fisherman Dad witnesses Godzilla using nuclear breath on a nearby building and muses to himself. |
| 41 | -->'''Fisherman Dad:''' I ask myself why such a thing would be here.\ |
| 42 | '''Linkara!Fisherman Dad:''' Then I remember that the Christmas rush gets earlier every year. |
| 43 | * Meanwhile, at the Vernadsky State Geological Museum in Moscow, where a class is looking at an exhibit for the Tunguska Event[[labelnote:*]]an explosion in a remote forest area in Russia that happened in 1908 and was thought to have been caused by an asteroid exploding in midair before impacting with the Earth, though no one knows for sure what happened[[/labelnote]], an earthquake occurs, and the class moves outside only to be greeted by dead crows falling from the sky-- lots of them. |
| 44 | -->'''Linkara:''' Hey, check it out-- a ''[[{{Pun}} murder]]'' of crows. ''(grins)''\ |
| 45 | ''(RimShot)'' |
| 46 | * "There's a quick cut over to Tokyo where we see the father duct taping sticks of dynamite together." "[[Series/TheRedGreenShow Well, if Godzilla doesn't find me handsome, at least he'll find me handy.]]" |
| 47 | * Mikhail's mother tells her son she's watching television. |
| 48 | -->'''Linkara (as the mother):''' They're playing an extended cut of the ''[[Series/PowerRangersMegaforce Super Megaforce]]'' finale. It's ''still'' [[TakeThat really disappointing]]. |
| 49 | * Linkara notes the oddness of Godzilla in that he can easily go from destroying cities to doing a funny dance, with a clip of Godzilla doing just that. |
| 50 | [[/folder]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder:329: Trouble #1]] |
| 53 | * "How could [a stupid idea of a retcon] alone condemn the entire story? Well, there ''are'' other things here that were poorly conceived." |
| 54 | -->'''Linkara:''' For starters, the writer of this thing is Mark Millar, the guy responsible for--\ |
| 55 | ''(the poorly edited Millar Time card interrupts him)''\ |
| 56 | '''Linkara:''' ''(glaring upwards)'' Okay, just because I made the joke that ''one time'' and I forgot to do it that last week doesn't mean it's a thing! |
| 57 | * His cheerful summary of [[ComicBook/{{Wanted}} some of]] [[ComicBook/TheUnfunnies Mark Millar's]] [[ComicBook/{{Nemesis}} darker material]]. All set to "Pizzicato Playtime" |
| 58 | * When the narration questions why people think about kissing when someone will stick their hand up her sweater without much coaxing. |
| 59 | -->'''Linkara:''' I'm pretty sure that's not what kissing is. |
| 60 | * The continual refrain that the comic is like a slasher movie where the slasher never actually gets there. |
| 61 | * When Mrs. Shelby catches her husband picking up one of the bras he found at the lake, Linkara bursts into [[LaughingMad mad laughter]], claiming that he's not laughing at the comic but at himself for deciding to review it. |
| 62 | * The end, when Linkara calmly reiterates the names of the characters as they're hooking up so he can inform us exactly what the retcon mentioned above is. This is the revised love story of [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Aunt May and Uncle Ben and also that of Peter Parker's parents]]. The look on his face is magnificent. |
| 63 | * ''"OH MY GOD, THERE ARE '''FISH''' IN THE LAKE! RUN FOR IT!!!"'' |
| 64 | * From the comments: "OK, so the way I see it, the manager's pointy ears indicates he's ComicBook/{{Mephisto}} is disguise, here to ensure the greatest crime of all against [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]]: [[DoomMagnet making sure he gets born.]]" |
| 65 | [[/folder]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | [[folder:330: Comic Book Quickies #4]] |
| 68 | * The title card, which depicts Spider-Man "twerking" on a web-made wrecking ball a la Music/MileyCyrus. |
| 69 | * Spider-Man meets the Home Wrecker. |
| 70 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[ComicBook/OneMoreDay AKA]] Creator/JoeQuesada. |
| 71 | * Aunt May was understandably concerned when Peter said he was going to a certain summer resort from last week. |
| 72 | * Linkara's comment about Peter Parker abducting the child after the Rescue oneshot. |
| 73 | -->'''Linkara as Spiderman:''' You're my child, now! |
| 74 | * Giving Mia's two exes the douchiest voices imaginable. |
| 75 | * |
| 76 | -->'''Mia:''' Just because Cinderella found her Prince Charming doesn't mean that Prince Charming is the guy for every girl!\ |
| 77 | '''Linkara:''' Especially when Prince Charming is [[Theatre/IntoTheWoods hitting on the wives of bakers instead]]. |
| 78 | * The ''real'' reason the tennis player keeps staring at his reflection. |
| 79 | * Acme Boots. Endorsed by Wile E. Coyote himself! |
| 80 | [[/folder]] |
| 81 | |
| 82 | [[folder:331: PSA Hell: Energy and Safety with the Justice League]] |
| 83 | * "Because poor literacy… is rather unusual for a PSA." |
| 84 | * |
| 85 | -->'''Batman:''' No, stay back! Don't go near or touch a fallen power line, or any other damaged electrical equipment!\ |
| 86 | '''Linkara:''' ''(wearing a Batman mask)'' [[RunningGag Electricity powers electric guitars, the main weapon in rock & roll music! Reject it, children!]] |
| 87 | * |
| 88 | -->'''Idiot #1:''' When we get in, I'll turn on the oven and open the door — that'll get the place nice and toasty in no time.\ |
| 89 | '''Idiot #2:''' Good idea!\ |
| 90 | '''Linkara:''' Well, I see we're going to have [[CallBack the long-awaited return of Vapora]]. |
| 91 | * Superman has to go lecture Lex Luthor about the [[SkewedPriorities emissions created by the giant robots]] he sends to kill Superman. |
| 92 | * Linkara pointing out the cognitive dissonance of telling readers to conserve paper when your comic is made of (non-recycled) paper by waving his copy around and asking in an exaggerated inquisitive tone if the mysterious material it's made of is plastic or something edible, before cutting himself off with an annoyed "IT'S PAPER." |
| 93 | [[/folder]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[folder:332: Youngblood #7]] |
| 96 | * The title card, where [[TopHeavyGuy Badrock]] is seated next to Linkara and both look as awkward as they should be. |
| 97 | * Linkara spends the first minute of the review proper [[ItMakesSenseInContext reviewing Shaft's fridge.]] |
| 98 | -->'''Linkara:''' Jeez, look at this. Nobody wrapped anything in tinfoil or put anything in Tupperware, they just left food with maybe a single bite taken out of it ''right on the shelves!'' |
| 99 | * [[ScreamingAtSquick Seeing Troll in the shower.]] [[SanitySlippageSong Combine Harvester ensues.]] A rare double length Combine Harvester. |
| 100 | -->'''Linkara (holding up his hands as though he's still holding the comic):''' "It's not even in my hands, but I can still see it!" |
| 101 | ** The best part is how this bit starts: "We cut to Youngblood headquarters, and its raspberry-orange sky, where -- [[SuddenlyShouting AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!]] ''[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!]] '''[[GoMadFromTheRevelation AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]]'''''" |
| 102 | *** [[spoiler:What makes this even funnier is that the Entity was possessing Linkara at this time. So THE ENTITY also got to see this nightmare.]] |
| 103 | ** Other highlights include Linkara staring down a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] plushie in his hands demanding that it tell him his secrets, crying with the bag of hollow, plastic balls over his head [[CallBack from one of his previous meltdowns]] except without even dumping out the balls first, and insisting to a plush toy of Pollo that they need to escape only for him to drop the plushie, cry out Pollo's name in anguish, then blame the aforementioned Pikachu plushie for Pollo's "death". |
| 104 | --->'''Linkara:''' Pollo? Pollo, we have to get outta here! W-We have to-- *drops the Pollo plushie* '''POLLOOO!!!''' *points at Pikachu plushie* '''YOU DID THIS!''' |
| 105 | ** He finally calms down after taking a sip of water and looks into the camera, quite dazed and upset: |
| 106 | --->"Why, [[Creator/RobLiefeld Liefeld]]? ''Why?'' Why do you do this to me? Is it because you're insulted in the theme song? Not even Gary Brodsky pulls this kinda crap! I-If you wanted to get to me, you didn't have to hurt so many other people!" |
| 107 | * At one point, the comic unsarcastically calls Youngblood "The world's greatest super-team". Cue ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' clip: |
| 108 | -->'''Bender:''' [[MyGodYouAreSerious AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder. AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!]] |
| 109 | * The comic says Troll is 3,000 years old: |
| 110 | -->'''Linkara:''' Funny, I thought most trolls were 12-year olds. *RimShot* |
| 111 | * After Badrock is hit with an energy ray that causes him to HulkOut and yells at the villain "Let's rock, dirtbag!". |
| 112 | -->'''Linkara (as Hulk):''' How is Hulk one with more realistic physique? |
| 113 | [[/folder]] |
| 114 | |
| 115 | [[folder:333: ROMTROSPECTIVE: ROM Spaceknight #1-40]] |
| 116 | * The series begins with Rom almost being run over by a woman, Brandy Clark, but Rom moves her car out of the way. Brandy gets out of the car and tries to talk to Rom, which is when he does something a bit unusual... |
| 117 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[as [[Film/TheTerminator the Terminator]]]'' Your clothes. Your vehicle. Give them to me. |
| 118 | ** Actually, Rom pulls out an energy analyzer "from subspace"... |
| 119 | --->'''Linkara:''' AKA, his ass... |
| 120 | * After eliminating two Dire Wraiths, and with his universal translator finally functioning, Rom takes Brandy to the outskirts of town and begins to explain his history: |
| 121 | -->'''Rom:''' LISTEN, ''WOMAN OF EARTH'', AND PERHAPS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AFTER I TELL... '''"THE LEGEND OF THE SPACEKNIGHTS!"'''\ |
| 122 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Rom]'' [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir NOW, THIS IS THE STORY ALL ABOUT HOW MY LIFE GOT FLIPPED, TURNED UPSIDE-DOWN...]] |
| 123 | * In Rom's flashback, the Galadorian armada encounters a group of Dire Wraith ships, but a few Wraiths escape due to fear of one of their creations, the Deathwing: |
| 124 | -->'''Linkara:''' Ohh, so ''that's'' where Deathwing from the Team Titans came from! ''[whispering]'' See? I'm connecting the dots to my last massive retrospective. I can do that! And people ''scoff'' at my theory that all bad comics can be traced back to ''[[ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis Countdown]]''... |
| 125 | * The military catches up to Rom, but discovers that their artillery has no effect; some soldiers get the bright idea to use flamethrowers against him: |
| 126 | -->'''Rom:''' ''I HAVE FLOWN NEAR THE STARS, HUMANS! YOUR PALE, PITIFUL FIRE CANNOT HARM ME!''\ |
| 127 | '''Linkara:''' ''[as Rom]'' [[Advertising/CapnCrunch I STAY CRUNCHY, EVEN IN MILK!]] |
| 128 | * Linkara recounts the tragic tale of Serpentyne, who was framed as a dark mirror of Rom: |
| 129 | -->'''Linkara:''' Plus, imagine the sitcom possibilities! "[[WunzaPlot He's an alien cyborg; he's a lizard-man born of atomic weapons.]] Can they get along in the big city?" |
| 130 | * After a battle in space against Jack of Hearts, Rom's circuits are overloaded, and he crashes back on Earth with amnesia: |
| 131 | -->'''Linkara:''' Rom keeps crashing onto Earth and re-enacting science fiction tropes. What's next, he's gonna crash onto Earth and have to fight some shapeshifting monster? ''[beat]'' Oh, wait... |
| 132 | * Related to the first point above, one of the characters is called Terminator... so of course, Linkara gives him an Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger voice. |
| 133 | * Linkara has a revelation concerning the Dire Wraiths: |
| 134 | -->'''Linkara:''' Hey, I just realized... The Dire Wraiths look like [[CallBack the Soggies]]! My God... Soggies ''may'' actually rule! |
| 135 | * When Sybil, a girl Rom saved in the first part of a three-part storyline involving Namor, is nearly murdered by the Dire Wraiths with the effect of drowning her, Namor uses advanced Atlantean science to bring her back to life and convert her into an Atlantean. |
| 136 | -->'''Linkara:''' I would just like to point out that it is far easier for Namor to radically alter the genetic structure of a human girl to turn her into an Atlantean while also '''''RAISING HER FROM THE DEAD''''' than it is to save Aunt May from a bullet wound in ''One More Day''. ''(takes a moment to slam his fist into his other cupped hand) Of course.'' |
| 137 | [[/folder]] |
| 138 | |
| 139 | [[folder:334: ROMTROSPECTIVE: ROM Spaceknight #41-75]] |
| 140 | * The triumphant return of the "Previously On The Atop The Fourth Wall..." segment. |
| 141 | * After reading the line "You are a man!", Linkara does the punch with the wording changed appropriately... causing his fist to come from behind to punch his hat off his head. |
| 142 | * The president announces that he has signed a mutual defense pact with almost every other nation on Earth to fight the Dire Wraith threat. |
| 143 | -->'''Linkara''': But yeah, that's great. The nations of Earth united against the threat. Superheroes across the world are brought together, so now America can call on the Fantastic Four and the X-Men and the--\ |
| 144 | '''President:''' A recent attempt to contact a number of America's own superheroes has failed. The Fantastic Four, Avengers, and others seem to have simply vanished.\ |
| 145 | '''Linkara:''' ''WHAT?!'' Oh, come on! What could they ''possibly'' have been doing that would have taken them away from this mome--?! ''(notices the ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|1984}}'' comic that spontaneously appeared in his right hand during his rant)'' Oh, hey, how did this get in my hands? |
| 146 | * The first part (of two) ends with an overview of ROM Annual #3, where Starshine, who had been expressing a desire to become human again, is separated from her armor by Hybrid but still manages to defeat him as Brandy. |
| 147 | -->'''Linkara:''' Well, regardless of the circumstances, she ''is'' at least human again, for better or for worse. ''({{Beat}})'' So, anyway, it's time for the end of the world. ''(smiles)'' |
| 148 | [[/folder]] |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[folder:Episode CCCXXXVI: The Star Wars #1]] |
| 151 | * The audience to the Emperor's speech is not amused in Linkara's interpretation. |
| 152 | -->'''Audience Member''': Bring out Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes! |
| 153 | * At one point in the panels, Governor Hoedaack introduces supreme tribunal member Vantos Coll to Darth Vader; "He worries a lot about legends and myths." |
| 154 | -->'''Linkara (as Hoedaack)''': I mean, he actually believes in the [[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed Helix fossil]]. ({{Beat}}) Weirdo! |
| 155 | * When seeing one of the minor characters is named Senator [[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou Nash]], the inevitable cameo ensues (with his Here There Be Dragons background). |
| 156 | ** Nash's reasoning for finally turning to the Dark Side and becoming an Imperial Senator: being in a galaxy far, far away...from Florida. |
| 157 | ** Also, he's been Imperial Senator since Tuesday. Considering that Radio Dead Air, and thus the unedited live show of WTFIWWY, goes live on Mondays... |
| 158 | ** Preparing his lightsaber (re: Nash's e-cigar) to kill Linkara...only to have the thing ignite on the wrong end and impaling either his foot ([[CallBack like the last time he handled a lightsaber]]) or his crotch (as the [[Webvideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Nostalgia Critic]] once did). |
| 159 | * [[WebVideo/HistoryOfPowerRangers As with the]] [[Series/PowerRangersJungleFury Pai Zhua]], Linkara always refers to "Jedi-Bendu" with silly names. |
| 160 | * His horror at the Imperial official who looks like the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters Absorbaloff]]. |
| 161 | * "[[RunningGag BECAUSE POOR LITERACY IS...]] THE WILL OF THE FORCE." |
| 162 | [[/folder]] |
| 163 | |
| 164 | [[folder:336: Batman: Jazz #3]] |
| 165 | * Batman does his usual opening narration: |
| 166 | -->'''Batman:''' Blue Byrd. Jazz genius. Junkie. Victim of racism. Con man. Wounded boy without a father.\ |
| 167 | '''Linkara!Batman:''' [[OscarBait The movie rights alone on this are gonna make me a killing]]!\ |
| 168 | '''Batman:''' Everyone who describes him paints a different man.\ |
| 169 | '''Linkara!Batman:''' It's almost like human beings are complex and interact with different people in a variety of ways that shape the image they have of him, but that can't be right. ''(shrugs)'' |
| 170 | * [[CallBack This time]], instead of just being mentioned by name, Mr. T makes a full-fledged EarlyBirdCameo in a review just before Linkara reviews one of his comic books. |
| 171 | * Batman goes to interrogate a former drug lord, who jokes about them having privacy after Batman beats up his guards. |
| 172 | -->'''Linkara!Batman:''' Well, yeah, we’ve got privacy, but you promised me dinner, too. (folds arms) This date is awful! |
| 173 | [[/folder]] |
| 174 | |
| 175 | [[folder:337: Mr. T and the T Force #3]] |
| 176 | * Do you know where your children are? Mr. T kidnapped them and forced them into a regular activity without your consent. |
| 177 | [[/folder]] |
| 178 | |
| 179 | [[folder:338: PATREON: Big Bang Presents #3: Protoplasman]] |
| 180 | * Linkara teases his upcoming review of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' with this |
| 181 | -->'''Linkara:''' And how could a video game review go badly for me?\ |
| 182 | ''Cue clip of [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd AVGN]] punching out Linkara from the Adamantium Rage review''\ |
| 183 | '''Linkara:''' Oh, right. |
| 184 | * After the Nazi vampire, Dr. Fang, [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy claims to have been Rasputin and Jack the Ripper]]: |
| 185 | -->'''Linkara as Dr. Fang:''' I was Fred in Circle Pines, and Steve in Sherman Oaks! ({{Beat}}) It was a slow year. |
| 186 | * "There's somebody in the tank!" |
| 187 | -->'''Linkara:''' Here buddy, let me give you a hand! (accidentally pulls Jake's hand off) Uh, I think you dropped this. |
| 188 | [[/folder]] |
| 189 | |
| 190 | [[folder:339: PATREON: Crimson #1]] |
| 191 | * The title card. Linkara dressed in the...[[WTHCostumingDepartment ...open animal print coat with X's on the chest from the comic's cover]] walking up to the title card artist (MTC) drawing at his computer while covered in [[SelfDeprecation pink slips]]. |
| 192 | * "It's nice to review something like a half-decent, unknown Golden Age homage instead of ''yet another'' early Image comic with terrible artwork and half-naked women. So, anyway, here's the Patreon-sponsored "Crimson #1", [[HypocriticalHumor an early Image comic with terrible artwork and half-naked women]]." |
| 193 | * The protagonist is being explained what he has become: |
| 194 | -->'''Ekimus:''' You "live" now, yes, but not in any way you understand...\ |
| 195 | '''Linkara:''' You mean... I'm from Wisconsin now?!? |
| 196 | [[/folder]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[folder:340: PATREON: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines]] |
| 199 | * While trying to explain why he would review this game, Linkara points this is something [[WebVideo/VampireReviews Maven of the Eventide]] should be reviewing. The reason she can't do it? She now has a baby, which she explains she must, in her own words, raise into a "creature of the night". Cue said baby giggling adorably. |
| 200 | * Linkara's observation that the UndeathlyPallor on the dark-skinned male Brujah PC makes him look like he has purple skin. |
| 201 | * Linkara's explanation for the Sire turning your character into a vampire while in bed? "Some people are kinky like that." |
| 202 | ** Then the fact the vampire authorities immediately know about it and show up to arrest them seconds after the act causes him to deduce they must have "telepathic cockblocking powers". |
| 203 | * When the character Linkara created and the woman who turned him into a vampire are both staked at the beginning of the game: |
| 204 | -->'''Linkara:''' Well, that game was terrible. I created a character sheet and didn't even get a chance to defend myself. 0 out of 10! [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Too much water]]! |
| 205 | * While explaining why he picked the melee-oriented Brujah, Linkara explains that he doesn't exactly play the game to know "what melodramatic vampire is in command of the other community theater's vampires". Cue the theater scene from the game's intro. |
| 206 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[IWasJustJoking Holy crap, I was kidding, before, about this being community theater!]] |
| 207 | * At the beginning of the game, there is a dialogue option with Smiling Jack to ask for a vampire cape. Cue a RunningGag of Linkara constantly looking/asking for said cape over the course of the game. |
| 208 | ** Also, the episode's card depicts a vampire Linkara wearing a multi-color cape. |
| 209 | * When reaching the infamous [[HellHotel Ocean House Hotel]] level, Linkara states [[TemptingFate it can't possibly be that scary, considering most of the game is about talking and political scheme]]. Cue him completely freaking out when he realizes [[NightmareFuel what he has entered into]]. |
| 210 | -->'''Linkara:''' SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Okay, okay, need to get myself together, I mean, just because this place is haunted by a pissed off ghost doesn't mean I should be scared... ''[finds a creepy child drawing]'' OH DEAR GOD! WHY WOULD YOU DRAW THAT, DECAPITATED CHILD?! [[RapidFireNo Nonono]]... I am a goddamn vampire, I will not be scared by ghosts... and... Oh for the love-- WHY AM I IN [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet FREDDY KRUEGER]]'S BOILER ROOM?! WHAT IS HURTING ME?! I'M A GODDAMN VAMPIRE! |
| 211 | ** "Screw your [blank], I'M A GODDAMN VAMPIRE!" baseball bat rampage. |
| 212 | ** Which peters out into a clear impression of [[Film/VampiresKiss "I'm a Vampire! I'm a Vampire! I'm a Vampire!"]] |
| 213 | ** "I don't care how many lamps you throw at me, [[RunningGag I'm not gonna review them!"]] |
| 214 | ** "NO, I AM NOT GONNA GET OUT! '''[[NoYou YOU]]''' ARE GONNA GET OUT! COME ON, [[Film/TheShining JACK TORRANCE]], COME AND GET ME! WHO'S JOHNNY NOW, ASSHOLE?!" |
| 215 | * During the cutscene where the player character frees Lily and she brutally kills one of her captors, the video focus on the player character looking away. Linkara adds a line under it saying: "Uhhh... it was like this when I got here." |
| 216 | * Upon listening to the way the KarmaMeter works in the game, Linkara points out how it sometimes doesn't make sense, since the game apparently makes an unclear difference between who's innocent or not. |
| 217 | -->'''Linkara:''' So, just to keep track of this, random attack on innocent citizens: not evil at all, [[ThouShallNotKill as long as they don't die]]; killing a cop who's shooting at you, well, you are Satan's best buddy! [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman You can also attack and kill rats - God's most hated creatures, I guess...]] |
| 218 | * Jeanette being referred to as "Vampire ComicBook/HarleyQuinn", Smiling Jack as [[Creator/JohnDiMaggio Bender]] and Strauss being compared to [[Franchise/TheMatrix Morpheus]]. |
| 219 | * The fact the game apparently takes place entirely in a single night, since the sun never rises. |
| 220 | -->'''Linkara:''' I mean, yeah, this is Los Angeles, but I didn't think the smoke problem was ''this'' bad! |
| 221 | * Linkara's reaction upon learning the main event might involve the end of all vampires: |
| 222 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[in a monotonous tone]'' [[SarcasmMode Oh no, that would just be so terrible, we must work so hard to prevent this.]] |
| 223 | * Linkara briefly plays a clip of the game's [[NarmCharm dancing animation]]. |
| 224 | * Linkara describes the fact the game has many choices and concludes on this: |
| 225 | -->"The choice is yours... provided you can avoid getting shot at by random street gang wars that erupt for no rhyme or reason." |
| 226 | * Also, Linkara's favorite character in the game? ''[[DonutMessWithACop Chunk]]''. |
| 227 | * "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Go about your business, citizens! I am just a random guy running down the streets with a bloody fire axe! Nothing to see here!]]" |
| 228 | * Linkara ''loves'' the bits you can listen to at the radio. Upon listening to the Deb of Night and hearing the ConspiracyTheorist talking about a secret war between the Saturnians and the Illuminati involving a space station on the moon, he immediately asks how there isn't a game about that. |
| 229 | [[/folder]] |
| 230 | |
| 231 | [[folder:341: PATREON: Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone]] |
| 232 | * As Linkara points out, the entire Elseworld is worth it just to hear Batman (or rather, someone with his personality uploaded to his brain) say "Nummy Muffin". |
| 233 | ** Linkara's belief that they'd gotten the [[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder ASBAR]] version of him. |
| 234 | * The explanation for the superhero costumes leads to this: |
| 235 | -->'''Witchy-Poo''': Well, I've always thought that all those tight and/or scanty outfits were some kind of sexual display thing.\ |
| 236 | '''Linkara''': They usually are. ({{Beat}}) ... For the artist, anyway.\ |
| 237 | '''Batman''': At least, you didn't find out about the capes...\ |
| 238 | '''Linkara''': ... That reminds me, [[BrickJoke I am still waiting for my vampire cape from last week...]] |
| 239 | * Over the course of the comic, Witchy-Poo expresses the belief reproducing the Teen Titans' pattern should ensure everything will go well, since, according to what she knows, superhero myths are all bright, happy, silly, and [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin always ending with the heroes winning]]. This causes Linkara - a devoted Teen Titans fans who actually read the comics, and know they were actually pretty [[DarkerAndEdgier dark]] with a lot of tragic moments - to shake his head. |
| 240 | -->'''Linkara:''' The future has ''really'' bad mythological records. [...] ''(after Witchy-Poo expressed shock someone got hurt)'' DEAR LORD AND HEAVENS! You really knew ''nothing'' about the Titans when you conceived this plan, did you? |
| 241 | * His reaction to the comic's Main/TechnoBabble: |
| 242 | --> '''A character in the comic''': Products of Baroque Meatgarden Policorp. One minor Nirasawa-class warrior clade. Five semiautonomous subunit clades. Share multiplexed consciousness. Clades vatgrown for low-intensity warfare on medium-tech cultures. Nanoassembled with only grav, energy, Gauss and biochem weapons. |
| 243 | -->'''[[Film/PulpFiction Jules Winnfield]]:''' ''English'', motherfucker, do you speak it?! |
| 244 | * Gabrielle has a prosthetic body: |
| 245 | -->'''Jama:''' Your prosthesis eats, sleeps, sweats, even ''[[TooMuchInformation menstruates]]'' in perfect imitation of your original body.\ |
| 246 | '''Linkara (as Gabrielle):''' [[Main/SarcasmMode Yeah, I'm just so happy my mom included]] ''[[Main/SarcasmMode that]]'' [[Main/SarcasmMode detail with this body...]] |

| 250 | * The entire beginning. The video is shot at a convention, and he claims there will be no cameos. Then Brad Jones appears and tells him there's a line outside. Then everyone gets stuffed into Linkara's hotel room leading into a big fight. Including NC, Malcolm, Tamara, Todd in the Shadows, Calluna, the Shark Jumping couple, Yomarz, and [=Megami33=]. |
| 251 | -->'''Linkara:''' I think one of them took the comic with them. |
| 252 | ** Malcolm and Tamara saying they hate skits and asking to work for Linkara instead. |
| 253 | * Linkara is unsure if the Floronic Man's world domination plan of getting everyone stoned is one of the dumbest plans ever, or one of the most brilliant. |
| 254 | * Tim Drake is walking out of school with his friend Norris, who's asking him if he has any plans tonight. |
| 255 | -->'''Tim:''' Um, I have a sort of extra-curricular class to take!\ |
| 256 | '''Linkara:''' Poor kid doesn't want to admit he's on speech team.\ |
| 257 | '''Norris:''' Pity. I thought we might get together. I have a couple of tickets for the new movie!\ |
| 258 | '''Linkara:''' Yes, go to "''New Movie''" at "Theater". Perhaps buy "Snack" and "Soda", too. |

| 263 | -->'''Aqualad:''' Great guppies!\ |
| 264 | '''Linkara:''' [[JerkassHasAPoint And then there's Aqualad...]] |
| 265 | * Channel Awesome contributors on hand for the Atop the Fourth Wall movie reading excerpts from the Super Dictionary. Some examples: |
| 266 | ** "Strong" as read by Superman fan Angry Joe: |
| 267 | --->'''Angry Joe:''' "Is Superman the strongest person in the world?" ''(mouths)'' Yes, he is. |
| 268 | ** Cinema Snob's reading of "saddle", to the point where the actual image from the Super Dictionary is deliberately not included in the segment. |
| 269 | ** As the excerpt appears as dialogue spoken by Batman in the Super Dictionary, Nash does his reading of "chair" with a "Dark Knight" voice. |

| 272 | [[folder:344: Avengers Assemble Featuring Captain Citrus #1]] |

| 274 | * The comic cuts away from the Avengers battling the Humanoids attacking Orlando to go to an orange grove and the family that farms there, currently eating breakfast. |
| 275 | -->'''John:''' Deb, if you're not going to eat a big breakfast, at least drink your orange juice.\ |
| 276 | '''Linkara (as Deb):''' Actually, I'm really more into ''apple'' juice.\ |

| 291 | * Linkara's rant on him being trapped in his own show and how he hasn't reviewed a bad comic in weeks. |
| 292 | * An unwanted cameo from The Comic Strip Critic that was apparently the doing of Beth from Shark Jumping as revenge for everyone getting kicked out of Linkara's hotel room. |
| 293 | -->'''Beth:''' This'll teach him not to listen to our ideas...\ |

| 302 | -->'''Linkara:''' Luuuuuke, are you sure you're not Mr. T? |
| 303 | * When Frank and Luke go to a run-down hotel taken over by the crack dealers, Linkara says he's seen worse. Cut to footage of him playing Bloodlines. |

| 310 | -->'''[[Film/TropicThunder Kirk Lazarus]]:''' I'm a dude playin' the dude disguised as another dude! |
| 311 | * Frank sums up the last comic's events: |
| 312 | -->'''Frank:''' The man I was, my resources, my mission, are gone.\ |
| 313 | '''Linkara (as Frank):''' I now run a deli on 38th Street. We're running a sale on tuna today. Try to get it later... ''(slowly holds up a gun)'' ...[[DisproportionateRetribution and be]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution punished.]]''\ |
| 314 | '''Frank:''' Everything's '''''changed''''', especially my '''''face'''''.\ |
| 315 | '''Linkara (as Frank):''' Turns out I was a Time Lord this whole time... and yet it's weird that ''I'' became a black guy before the ''Doctor'' ever did. |

| 320 | [[folder:349: PATREON: Steam Wars]] |
| 321 | * Linkara reads that the Empire in this is not called the Empire or even the Galactic Empire, but the Hegemonic Crux. After a moment of bafflement over the change, he calls them the Empire anyway. |
| 322 | * After making fun of Lord Baron's repetitive name ("Isn't that like calling him 'King-Emperor'?"), Linkara continues to call him by similar names throughout the review, such as Prime Minister Representative. [[note]]Baron was supposed to be the guy's surname, as Luke Skywalker's Steam Wars counterpart had it as his last name as well.[[/note]] |
| 323 | * Linkara goes on about how Steam Wars' version of C-3PO(CL-335, a snarky posh droid with a gatling gun) is so much better than the original, and wants to switch. |
| 324 | * Linkara starts wondering how many [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Koopalings]] the Hegemony has on all of its airships. |
| 325 | [[/folder]] |
| 326 | |
| 327 | [[folder:350: Ultimate Power #1-2]] |
| 328 | * The montage of Greg Land's recycled traces, set to circus music. |
| 329 | * Linkara turning Reed Richards' request for 18 million dollars from S.H.I.E.L.D. into a Kickstarter pitch for funding a board game. |
| 330 | * "So, regardless of the universe, Reed Richards is still the smartest and yet dumbest person in the room." |
| 331 | ** This gets [[BrickJoke acknowledged again]] at the end, when the ''cause'' of the crossover is revealed: |
| 332 | --->'''Linkara''': When people wonder why Reed Richards is criticized so much, it's because he made a tool for purely scientific analysis... and somehow managed to [[EpicFail destroy an entire planet with it]]... ([[{{Beat}} big pause]]) [[{{Understatement}} That's a bit of a whoopsy.]] |
| 333 | * "''You!'' [[TakeThatAudience You're actually reading this right now?!]]" |
| 334 | * "Time 4 Backstory!" winds up hitting a snag this go around: |
| 335 | -->'''Linkara''': Before ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' existed- eh, [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant no]], [[ComicBook/BeforeWatchmen that's not what I meant]], wait- (cut to Linkara holding his head in exasperation) how you people have been able to follow me for 350 episodes continues to amaze me. |
| 336 | * Linkara believing that the recurring open mouths were some kind of attempt to attone for the 90s' constant teeth-gritting. |
| 337 | * When showing one of Land's most infamous cases of tracing (a woman with her mouth wide open and her legs in a position that implies she's having sex without anyone there), Linkara notes the placement of the onomatopoeia of Hyperion punching The Thing makes it look like [[ToiletHumor she's letting out a giant fart]]. |
| 338 | * The review ends with Linkara somewhat awkwardly, somewhat matter-of-factly announcing that his next review is a Patreon sponsored review... of ''WebComic/{{Homestuck}}''. |
| 339 | * The Stinger: "Wonder if Hyperion also serves as the team's bug zapper considering how long he keeps his mouth open in this comic." |
| 340 | [[/folder]] |
| 341 | |
| 342 | [[folder:351: PATREON: Homestuck, Act 1]] |
| 343 | * The title card featuring Linkara drawn like John and surrounded by the trolls (despite the trolls not appearing in Act 1) |
| 344 | * The episode description, phrased in the style of Homestuck: "You are watching an internet video about a guy who reviews comics. What will you do? -[[SelfDeprecation EAT REVIEWER."]] |
| 345 | * The cameo from [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob The Bros]], as a reaction to a magazine in the comic called [[TakeThat [=GameBro=]]]. |
| 346 | * Linkara preferring to call John Egbert "[[AtrociousAlias Zoosmell Pooplord]]" |
| 347 | * Linkara's reaction to Rose having "a passion for RATHER OBSCURE LITERATURE": "But thanks to Website/{{Tumblr}}, now everybody knows the book ''[[Creator/ChuckTingle Pounded in the Butt By My Own Butt]]''." |
| 348 | [[/folder]] |
| 349 | |
| 350 | [[folder:352: PATREON: Atomic Robo, Vol. 3]] |
| 351 | * While listing off the adventures that the titular character has gone on over his life, Linkara mentions a time where he found a walking pyramid operated by mummies that transforms into a giant robot. The best part? It was preprogrammed to do that last thing '''''5,000 years ago!''''' |
| 352 | -->'''Linkara''': You all laugh when I bring this up, but there's your proof right there-- their plan to destroy the present from the past, the diabolical machinations of '''''ANCIENT EGYPT!''''' ''(shakes his fist)''\ |
| 353 | ''(cut to a picture of pyramids with the Imperial March playing in the background)'' |
| 354 | * The first issue in the volume opens in New York City on the night of April 3rd, 1926, with Robo narrating. |
| 355 | -->'''Robo:''' It's a beautiful night in the most amazing city in the world.\ |
| 356 | '''Linkara (as Robo):''' But enough about Hoboken.\ |
| 357 | '''Robo:''' There's an ''electricity'' in the air in nights like this.\ |
| 358 | '''Linkara (as Robo):''' It's caused at least three electrocutions so far. |
| 359 | * Creator/HPLovecraft assumes Robo is a "pygmy" in ceremonial armor which, while shockingly racist, is [[DeliberateValuesDissonance perfectly in character for him]]. |
| 360 | -->'''Linkara''': Hahahah, Lovecraft, you wacky racist. |
| 361 | * Before setting out to defeat [[ItMakesSenseInContext the alien that burst out of H.P. Lovecraft's head]], Robo explicitly states not to set the lightning guns he and Charles Fort bring to do so at or over the fifth setting. Later on, seeing no other option, Robo sets one all the way to maximum, tells Fort to get out and run the opposite direction, and drives right at the alien; it simply eats the vehicle before a large discharge of lightning emanates out of it, no doubt caused by the lightning gun. |
| 362 | -->'''Linkara:''' A moment of silence now for Atomic Robo. ''(removes his hat and places it against his chest, staring upwards for a few moments)'' ''[[MoodWhiplash SO ANYWAY,]]'' on to issue 3 of ''The Adventures of Charles Fort''. |
| 363 | * Over thirty years later, during the Cold War, Robo-- now working at Tesladyne-- talks to his team about a crash in Cloverdale, Oregon, which he suspects could be the then-launched Sputnik's booster that, if collected, could help them determine the level of Russia's technology... which would be useful given the fact that the Soviets could potentially have a thousand missiles pointed at the U.S. at that exact moment, and the only way to counter that would be with a thousand of their ''own'' missiles. |
| 364 | -->'''Linkara''': The only winning move is not to play... unless you can cheat by having a superintelligent robot that likes to blow things up. |
| 365 | * In 1971, Robo takes Carl Sagan -- who finds the situation the former explains to him to be ridiculous -- to Peru, where they hope to use technology Robo's created in order to capture the alien with the help of Carl's instrumentation Robo had him build specifically to study it; however, there's a problem. |
| 366 | -->'''Robo:''' If I told you we'd be using ''untried'' methods based on an ''untested'' theory about a ''hypothetical'' cardinal direction that ''can't'' be observed within our universe to catch a ''monster'' that doesn't technically ''exist'', you'd have hung up the phone! ''Again.''\ |
| 367 | '''Linkara:''' Yeah, but I know that Doctor Linksano would be there in a heartbeat.\ |
| 368 | '''Dr. Linksano:''' ''(muffled)'' I'm already on my way; this is actually a recording I left several minutes ago! |
| 369 | [[/folder]] |

| 371 | [[folder:353: Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Superman]] |
| 372 | * The bizarre slang from a pair of women. |
| 373 | -->'''Spiky-haired Woman:''' Hey, glop onto the far-out hunk!\ |
| 374 | '''Straight-haired Woman:''' Wow! He could frazzle my fantasies any time!\ |
| 375 | '''Linkara:''' ''(stares in confusion)''\ |
| 376 | '''[[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Dark Marik]]:''' You're not even speaking English at this point! |
| 377 | * Linkara keeps calling the main character names [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mike and the Bots]] gave the main character of ''Film/SpaceMutiny''. |
| 378 | * Linkara proposing the existence of Kryptonian Sesame Street. |
| 379 | * "Superman! Helping you spend government funds on space travel!" and "Superman! Fighting for truth, justice, and becoming rich and famous!" |
| 380 | ** This is a continuation of a running gag from the Superman #701 review. |
| 381 | [[/folder]] |
| 382 | |
| 383 | [[folder:354: Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Batman]] |
| 384 | * Linkara chose some ''real'' music for the title card and ending credits: '''[[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie DARKNESS! NO PARENTS!]]''' |
| 385 | * After Wayne Williams gets falsely convicted of armed robbery: |
| 386 | -->'''Stan Lee's narration:''' As the saying goes, justice is blind. Sometimes -- ''too'' blind.\ |
| 387 | '''Linkara (as Stan Lee):''' And that's how I would create ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}! Oh, wait... |
| 388 | * The introduction of Linkara's latest character, Bone Button! |
| 389 | -->'''Bone Button:''' Ooooohh, BATMAN! BONE BUTTON isn't scared of YOU! I'm gonna put you in the SAFETY PIN, BATMAN! You think I'm scared of YOU? I know what YOU'RE scared of, BATMAN, which is why [[WaxingLyrical I'M GONNA]] [[RunningGag ROCK N ROLL]] [[Music/{{Kiss}} ALL NIGHT]], OOOOOHH! |
| 390 | * Branching off from the above, when Batman is interviewed (in full costume), the reporter asks him why. |
| 391 | -->'''Batman:''' How do you know this isn't my real face?\ |
| 392 | '''Linkara:''' Wait, so Magazine/WeeklyWorldNews was right about the Bat-Boy story? |
| 393 | ** Before that, he remarks that one of the wrestlers looks awfully like Cthulhu and he fights someone who looks like the Big Show (who was also compared to [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief]]) which result in this: |
| 394 | --->'''Linkara:''' Damn it, Big Show! Stop killing Cthulhu!\ |
| 395 | '''Big Show:''' [[WebVideo/TheMarkRemark I'm having fun!]] |
| 396 | ** And he notices another wrestler... who has an blue downward-pointing arrow on his head, prompting this joke: |
| 397 | --> '''Linkara:''' Oooooh, [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang]]'s foray into professional wrestling was not the Avatar's best move. |
| 398 | * After Batman becomes a professional wrestler and apparently builds up his fortune from that career, he ponders if Stan's Superman could have done so to fund his space program. |
| 399 | -->'''Wrestling/UltimateWarrior:''' Load the spaceship with the rocket fuel! Load it with the words! |
| 400 | [[/folder]] |
| 401 | |
| 402 | [[folder:355: Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating Wonder Woman]] |
| 403 | * The title card shows Wonder Woman, in a scene out of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', switching out the "Just Imagine" comic on the pedestal with an issue of "[[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack Amazons]] [[CallBack Attack]]" -- all while the theme from the 1970s ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'' TV series plays in the background. |
| 404 | * Linkara finds Stan Lee's explanation of what "Juez" means to be amusing: |
| 405 | -->'''Linkara (as Gituez):''' Say, Maria, did you know "juez" equals "judge"? I just found out about that! |
| 406 | * "There is...so much evil in the world...so much work for you to do..." |
| 407 | -->'''Linkara (as Steve Trevor):''' Only ''you'' can defeat evil...and let [[CallBack the Space Program flourish...]] |
| 408 | * When Linkara reads that Wonder Woman's staff allows her to travel at whatever speed she wants: |

| 415 | -->'''Linkara (as Father):''' For years, I told those kids to stay off the lawn, and now I've got the perfect weapon for it. |
| 416 | * Gotta continue the RunningGag: |
| 417 | -->'''Linkara (as Father):''' Never let anyone -- learn of your power. They'll all -- want your secret. Scientists -- crime lords -- the military... They'll -- never stop -- hounding you. They'll want your help reestablishing the [[CallBack Space Program]]! You mustn't do it! |
| 418 | * "This is the time to speak as--man and woman. You are man. And I am woman." |

| 420 | [[/folder]] |
| 421 | |
| 422 | [[folder:357: PATREON: Zyuranger episodes 17-22]] |
| 423 | * The beginning of the episode. We can see Linkara is dressed up as [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers the Green Ranger]], as well as a ton of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' memorabilia and [=DVDs=] in the background. |
| 424 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[BlatantLies A little known fact about me]] is that I am a fan of ''Power Rangers''. ''({{beat}})'' I'll give you a moment to recover from that shocking revelation. |
| 425 | * The set-up for Linkara explaining how Power Rangers uses Super Sentai footage for most of the action scenes: |
| 426 | -->'''Linkara''': On the off chance you know nothing about Power Rangers, other than it features a bunch of multi-colored Spandex-clad heroes...\ |
| 427 | '''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM Doctor K]]''': [[BerserkButton THAT IS NOT SPANDEX!]] |
| 428 | * His reason for reviewing Zyuranger, or any ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' show at all, since he doesn't have as much interest in that as ''Power Rangers'', is because his Patreon supporters requested it. Or, as he puts it... |
| 429 | -->'''Linkara:''' But then we have Patreon-sponsored reviews, so people can make me watch or read something against my will, and here we are now. I am your obedient review puppet. |
| 430 | * After summing up the backstory involving a group of humans living with dinosaurs before going to war with an evil witch, he states that it's still more accurate to the history of dinosaurs than ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}'' was. |
| 431 | * Ryota is described as "wearing tiny shorts, because Japan." |
| 432 | ** "He also tells them that [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue he likes shorts, because they're comfortable and easy to wear."]] |
| 433 | * Gnome's initial attempt to kill Ryota results in Linkara singing a scene-appropriate rendition of "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E10FugitiveAlien He Tried to Kill Me With a Forklift]]". |
| 434 | -->''This is the song written for the kid chase,\ |
| 435 | His grandpa will get back the key!\ |
| 436 | He tried to kill him with a forklift!'' |
| 437 | * Linkara's [[StunnedSilence reaction]] to seeing Ryota reveal himself as a fairy with large ears. |
| 438 | --> Linkara: [[INeedAFreakingDrink You know, I wasn't expecting to need alcohol this early, but here we are]]. |
| 439 | * The first clip of Burai playing the Zyusouken (Dragon Dagger) is dubbed over with the flute sequence from "Down Under" by Music/MenAtWork. |
| 440 | * He points out that Bandora treats her henchmen pretty well and wonders if she's hiring. Meanwhile, the Rangers' boss attempts to kill a kid to keep Burai from being reawakened. |
| 441 | * Bandora's singing tour. |
| 442 | -->'''Linkara:''' The new theme song for WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer is ''weird''. |
| 443 | * Mentioning that if someone did a retrospective of Sentai, not mentioning Lamy would be stupid. For those who don't get the joke, in the original ''History of Power Rangers'' video detailing ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'', Lewis never acknowledged Scorpina, Lamy's counterpart.[[note]]He made a crack about it in the AprilFoolsDay episode of ''[=HoPR=]'' detailing the remastered version of ''MMPR'' and he did acknowledge her when he redid the actual episode for the [=YouTube=] upload.[[/note]] |

| 449 | -->'''Shaw:''' If the man dies, Fuzzi, you've lost your bargaining power! Please... let me send in the medics!\ |
| 450 | '''Linkara:''' Yeah, it'd be a real shame if he didn't have another hostage on hand-- ''(leans toward the camera) '''OH, WAIT.''''' |
| 451 | * Alec and Shanna manage to tackle Fuzzi while he's escaping, subduing him. Later on, Detective Shaw congratulates them on their efforts. |

| 458 | [[folder:359: Trouble #2]] |
| 459 | * The title card, where Linkara is beside a blonde girl and has an angry twitch face while a fortune teller is holding her hand over a crystal ball and looking creepy. Bonus points for the post script: "[[BrutalHonesty Ok, if your girl doesn't want to bang cuz she says she has a headache, that's fine. But when she says she doesn't want to because Mystic Meg told her not to, dump her ass, yo.]]" |
| 460 | * The comic's recap says "Last issue, they staggered back to their rooms in the hope of doing something they'd regret in the morning." |

| 467 | -->'''May:''' Really? I've [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom always fantasized about doing it with a guy in a mouse outfit]].\ |

| 475 | '''May''' Why? Because that's a question Little Richie would never have asked me, baby.\ |
| 476 | '''Linkara (as May):''' You're... [[BackhandedCompliment adequate.]] |
| 477 | * After Richie yells up a storm about how Mary has come off as a chaste right winger: |
| 478 | -->'''Linkara (as Richie):''' That's it, I'm gonna go work for the CIA!\ |
| 479 | '''Linkara:''' [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, seriously,]] Peter's parents were field agents for the CIA in the main continuity. Weird, isn't it? |
| 480 | * After Richie mentions growing hair on his palms: |
| 481 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[{{Squick}} You are now thinking about Peter Parker's dad masturbating.]] [[ScreamingAtSquick Why does this thing exist!?]] |
| 482 | * After the car dealer admits he knew Ben and the others didn't have the kind of money to buy the car they were test driving... but let them test drive it anyway so he could get out of the office: |
| 483 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(laughing)'' You are ''so'' fired! |
| 484 | * Mary reveals that she's avoiding sex because a fortune teller told her she would get pregnant before 20. Linkara says he would call this stupid, but as this is the Marvel Universe, that fortune teller was likely legit... and a ComicBook/DoctorStrange villain. |
| 485 | ** After Mary reveals said teller predicted that May would travel the country in that Scooby Doo van, Linkara realizes the fortune teller sounds familiar: |
| 486 | --->'''Spoony:''' [[Recap/TheNostalgiaCriticS7E14 Was it a zombie prostitute?]]\ |
| 487 | '''Snob:''' '''''WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE?!''''' |
| 488 | * Similar to the previous "Trouble" review, Linkara nonchalantly states that the comic sucks after the issue ends with Aunt May and Peter's dad making out. |

| 495 | * At the mention of a character named Jake, Linkara throws in a reference to his ''[[VideoGame/PokemonZetaAndOmicron Pokémon Omicron]]'' LetsPlay (in which Jake was the Rival's name): |
| 496 | -->'''Linkara:''' Ooh, I've heard of Jake. Be careful. I hear he has swag, so that we will feel enmity towards him. |
| 497 | * The manga takes a dark turn when the action moves to Mudrow City, a run-down place where people are beaten, families hide together in fear, and people blast lasers from their wrists for the sake of destroying things. |
| 498 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''(singing weakly and off-key)'' Pokémon, gotta catch 'em allll...? |
| 499 | * Linkara comes across [[BlindIdiotTranslation a sentence that was translated poorly]]: |
| 500 | -->'''Ryouga:''' I'm not unrelated... So that I can stop those who abuse my father's technology... Is the reason why I [[RougeAnglesOfSatin stuggled]] for this journey!\ |

| 509 | -->"[[SarcasmFailure Am I not being sarcastic enough?!]]" |
| 510 | * After the comic speaks about diverse emotions (the fuel for the Lantern Rings): |

| 524 | [[folder:Episode CCCLXII: The Star Wars #2]] |
| 525 | * Linkara is shocked when he learns this version of R2-D2 speaks English, claiming he had trouble coming up with a voice for him. Considering that R2 is supposed to be rude and crass, he gave him the voice of a New York Cab Driver. |

| 528 | [[folder:365: PATREON: Power Man and Iron Fist #79]] |

| 530 | * The stinger in which a mysterious woman appears in Linkara's home looking for the magic coins... only to be caught by Linkara and Pollo while Linkara was getting a sandwich. |

| 532 | * And after she leaves: |
| 533 | -->'''Pollo:''' That will be 20 bucks.\ |

| 540 | * The crack about Freddy's expression on the cover of the first issue. |

| 563 | * After it appears that the living TV version of a former Freddy victim eats Dr. Gordon: |
| 564 | -->'''Linkara:''' Brilliant strategy! [[PungeonMaster Freddy]] will see this and not be sure if he should go for a TV pun or a food pun and his [[LogicBomb mind will break from indecision!]] |
| 565 | * As the mystery woman explains the background of the Magic Coin, we eventually get one good question from Harvey, leading to this exchange. |
| 566 | -->'''Harvey:''' Okay, all of that makes sense... why is there a Pokémon on it?\ |

| 574 | * Ben Reilly goes into a helicopter and... |
| 575 | -->'''Linkara:''' Oh geez, this artwork. Okay, first of all, his body has been compressed. He has no torso now, just goes from shoulder to hips. His feet are pointy, like elf shoes, and apparently he's entered Mount Olympus from Xanadu. I eagerly await Ben Reilly singing "Suspended in Time." |
| 576 | * Another use of "One day I'm going to get that filthy animal" from The Geek. |
| 577 | * Ben Reilly wonders if something he picked up is "ultra-mod sunglasses": |

| 582 | -->'''Linkara:''' We cut to, "Cut to", okay that's weird, did they leave the script instructions in the actual comic? |
| 583 | * Ben goes back to Seward's apartment and: |
| 584 | -->'''Linkara:''' After Ben goes back to Seward's apartment, the creative team must have thought "Hey, did we introduce a hot redhead yet, to be a love interest for Ben? Because if we haven't, we should." And thus, we're introduced to a broker named Carrie Bradley. And I really think that is honestly what happened. That they forgot that they'd already introduced Rachel as the hot redhead. Why? Because two issues more into this storyline, Carrie suddenly becomes blonde. |
| 585 | * The return of "He Tried to Kill Me With a Forklift". |
| 586 | [[/folder]] |
| 587 | |
| 588 | [[folder:370: More Fun Comics #73 (Green Arrow)]] |
| 589 | * The title card. Linkara is standing on a pier looking at Aquaman, who also debuts in the comic, looking off camera and saying "[[WebVideo/YugiohTheAbridgedSeries Green Arrow! Is it time for my cameo yet?!]]" |
| 590 | * When showing off a random panel of Vigilante which, based on the other artistic cues, looks like it's from the Bronze Age, he flashes "Oh God, that spine" on screen. |
| 591 | * When a caption box calls Green Arrow and Speedy "wizard archers," Linkara comments that they are dual classing. |
| 592 | * Green Arrow uses an ejector seat to launch through the window. The response? |
| 593 | -->'''Linkara:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis So. Many. Questions.]] [[FridgeLogic 1. How the hell did he know which window it was?]] [[LongList 2. How did he know they were meeting today after a bunch of them had already been murdered? 3.

How did they get it at just the right angle that he didn't just smack into a wall instead of the window? 5.]] What would he have done if [[SoftGlass the window was stronger than the force from the ejection seat?]] He would have hit that window like a bird. [[LongList 6. If stairs are too much for Green Arrow, why not just take an elevator? 7. This thing is activated by Speedy "gently pressing a trigger below the dashboard." What the hell happens when you make a sudden stop and Speedy accidentally hits the button with his knee? 8. Why would you ever need that!?]] [[HeroInsurance 9. Who's paying for that window?]] [[LongList 10. Does Speedy have one of those too?]] ''[[LongList cue clip of]] WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries [[KickTheDog where The Joker yells to Harley that he has only one ejector seat]]'' [[LongList 11.

| 595 | -->'''Linkara:''' Harmless powder that Speedy seemed ''really'' happy to see for some reason... ''Weird...'' ... What? [[NeverLiveItDown Roy was a heroin addict]], not cocaine.

| 597 | -->'''Linkara:''' ''[singing] Nine-teen-four-ties / Casual racism!'' |
| 598 | * When Ollie's collection of Native American artifacts is destroyed: |
| 599 | -->'''Ollie:''' My whole collection... ten years work... destroyed by these thugs! Burned to the ground!\ |
| 600 | '''Linkara:''' Yeeeah, it must really suck to lose all that stuff because of people that it didn't belong to. Yeah, yeah, he might have obtained it all fairly and on-the-level, but considering how this comic has its single Native person in stereotypical gear and talking like [[TontoTalk that]], do ya ''really'' think this was on the up-and-up? |
| 601 | [[/folder]] |
| 602 | |
| 603 | [[folder:371: Daredevil #1]] |
| 604 | * The title card. Aquaman is still in the bottom corner, wanting his cameo, Spider-Man and the faces of the Fantastic Four are either laughing at Daredevil's original costume or trying to show off how cool it is and, at the right of the card, Linkara is just trying to read his damn paper. |
| 605 | * After explaining why he hasn't seen the Netflix [[Series/Daredevil2015 Daredevil]] series (and also why he doesn't use Netflix): |

| 609 | * The RunningGag about the villain of this book having the same name as the DesignatedHero of ''ComicBook/HolyTerror''. Then it gets better: thanks to Daredevil yelling "Hold it, speedy!" at the Fixer later on, Linkara is now convinced that Roy Harper is the Fixer. |
| 610 | * Calling the kids that mock Murdock "[[OffModel octogenarians]]" and giving them old man voices. |
| 611 | * Daredevil's origin's links to that of certain other characters: "Wonder if anybody cleaned up all that radioactive goop on the ground. I mean, [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles what happens if it goes into the sewer or something? Who knows what sort of mutated reptiles and rodents would result from that]]?" |
| 612 | * After Matt's father's monologue about not caring about the Fixer since his son is proud of him... which occurs right before he's ''shot'': |

| 623 | * Linkara suggesting that Zor-El's real reason for putting Kara in the escape rocket was so, that way, he can force her into [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 watching cheesy movies]]. |
| 624 | * Linkara's FreakOut at the running gag of many Superman characters having the "L.L." initials. Even more so once he realizes that his own name, Lewis Lovhaug, has the initials. |

| 629 | * Linkara's reaction to the fact that Black Widow and her partner share their first names with the primary antagonists from ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle''. Paraphrased below: |

| 636 | * In the comic, it's revealed Deadpool stopped using a parachute after finding out [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Captain America jumped without one]]. Cue Linkara suggesting that he tried getting bit by every dog he found after finding out about that one story where Cap became a werewolf. |
| 637 | * "Bear!" |
| 638 | * Saying that Deadpool should know the words to Captain America's iconic theme song, adding that [=AT4W=] fans know Linkara's theme song. |

| 651 | * In the comic, a group of people try to take refuge from the zombies in a church, but the Reverend tells them that the church is full and there is no more room, which prompts this... |
| 652 | -->'''Ghost of Christmas Present:''' This is no Christmas, nor is this a moment of pride!\ |
| 653 | '''Linkara!Ghost:''' [[WaxingLyrical This ain't no disco! This ain't no foolin' around!]]\ |
| 654 | '''Linkara!Scrooge:''' What's disco?\ |
| 655 | '''Linkara!Ghost:''' Well, thanks to you, nobody will ever know! |

| 657 | * Scrooge asks the Ghost of Christmas Present how he can cure the zombie plague with warmth and merriment, as Fred seems to be doing, to which the ghost replies... |
| 658 | -->'''Ghost:''' The light of your sister is in him [Fred]...\ |

| 665 | -->Don't worry, Bob! I'll fend them off with my kung-fu skills! |
