6 | ---- |
7 | * AccentuateTheNegative: Depends on the film and the subject matter. He still takes pot shots when he can. |
8 | * AllMenArePerverts: Played straight, he enjoys films with at least some TNA. |
9 | * AllPeriodsArePMS: A regular joke is how often horror films treat women. |
10 | * AndThatsTerrible: Got on a films case for not showing a leads breasts. |
11 | --> "You cast her in a lead, in a horror movies, to not show us her tits...now that's just wrong." |
12 | * {{Angrish}}: Oh boy if you manage to piss him off he will go off on a film. There are too many times to list. |
13 | * TheAntichrist: Chuck has very much proclaimed certain producers are very much close to this. |
14 | * AppealToObscurity: He is very into 70’s and 80’s sitcoms and tv shows. |
15 | * ArchEnemy: |
16 | ** Roger Corman, while he initially viewed him as a kindly old man by the later series he’d had enough of his joyful reminiscing of scenes that are rather upsetting. |
17 | ** James Woods, his rather unpleasant rants in John Carpenters Vampires really upset him. |
18 | * ArsonMurderAndJayWalking: His reveal of three extremely talented actors comes across as this during the review of 1982's Alone in the Dark. |
19 | --> "This movie stars Academy Award Winner Jack Palance, Academy Award Winner Martin Landeu, and Emmy Nominee Donald Pleasence." |
20 | * ArtEvolution: His opening and closing graphics have gotten better through each season. From stagnant jpegs to full blown animated bumpers. |
21 | * AsYouKnow: Uses this from time to time whenever something insane happens. Usually because he can’t summarize what just happened. |
22 | * AuthorAppeal: Chuck really likes attractive women in his films, explosions, dogs, 80’s lightning effects, and nightgowns. |
23 | * BaitAndSwitch: During the Gamebox 1.0 review he states the film was very relatable due to Creator/DanielleFishel being the main characters dead girl friend and then saying… |
24 | --> "I really liked her as...Blossoms hot friend in Saved by the Bell." |
25 | * BaitAndSwitchLesbians: A scene from Prom Night 4 had one which raised the film from a single star to four...which procceded to fall after the film revealed it was all a ruse. |
26 | * BearsAreBadNews: During the Grizzly and Grizzly Rage he pretty much makes it known they are going to die. |
27 | * BerserkButton: |
28 | ** Any film with any sort of rape; whether it be male or female, expect him to flat out hate or turn on it. |
29 | ** Violence towards women is another one of his big buttons. |
30 | * BreatherEpisode: His rejects videos show a slew of films he watched but didn't have enough material for a review. Generally short and sweet. |
31 | * BuffySpeak: Will resort to this during Sci-Fi Spring Break since you know "science" fiction. |
32 | * CrackIsCheaper: As of 2023 he has over 370 reviews. Several spin off series and a patreon. It’s fair to say marathons of his works are long. |
33 | * ChewingTheScenery: Chuck can and will overact with the best of them. |
34 | * CoversAlwaysLie: Demonoid got this hard. The film was a boring slog but Chuck ultimately enjoyed the batshit insane cover though. |
35 | * CriticBreakdown: His review of Street Trash begins with him stammering and just going mental about the films odd premise and effects. He gets better though. |
36 | * DeadpanSnarker: He is a master at this. |
37 | * {{Determinator}}: Sat threw The Howling, Ghoulies, Python, Witchcraft, and shot on video films purely for his series and despite being horrible came out swingin. |
38 | * DudeNotFunny: Anytime a woman or dog get abused. He will get rid at least a star or stop caring entirely. |
39 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Chuck's reviewing style in season 1&2 is extremely underwhelming as his charisma and snark is at an all time low. He tends to rip them in later seasons. |
40 | * EroticFilm: Chuck will watch any “horror” film that has any nudity regardless of quality. The Hills have Thighs are very much a softcore flick that he "had" to review. |
41 | * EveryoneHasStandards: While he does like women and dogs. Violence or abuse of any kind is not tolerated, especially if the abuser gets away with it. |
42 | * FlatWhat: Whenever a character in a film says anything remotely dumbfounding this is usually his reply. |
43 | -->'''Actors Line''': Are you alright?\ |
44 | '''Actress' Line''': How would I know?\ |
45 | '''Chuck''': What. |
46 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: After season 9 he’d get creative with his editing. Making it clear he can point those out. |
47 | * GuiltyPleasure: Quite a few qualify for this. The most popular is anything with Fred Olen Ray attached to it. |
48 | * HappyPlace: During the review of Demonoid Chuck decided to just stare at the poster to wash the taste of the film out of his mouth. |
49 | * HypeBacklash: He has reviewed some classics but has different opinions on them. |
50 | * IHatePastMe: Chuck isn’t too fond of his earliest seasons and apologizes for the earlier reviews. |
51 | * ItsTheSameNowItSucks: This was his view toward Ghoulies and Witchcraft.[[invoked]] |
52 | * JumpScare: He'll see them coming but a rather humorous one in The Relic. |
53 | ** '''Chuck''': C'mon movie don't scare me like that. |
54 | ** '''Credi pops up for Tom Sizemore''' |
55 | ** '''Chuck''': Dahhh! |
56 | * PrecisionFStrike: Oh boy does he land these with precision to bad movies that fail to impress him. |
57 | * ReCut: Several have been altered or changed due to new Blu-Ray transfers and extras. Usually to help him have a better understanding of the film and rate it appropriately. |
58 | ** Leviathan got one in season 7, while Contamination got one in season 9. |
59 | ** Others like Microwave Massacre have just been updated due to his new format. |
60 | * ReferenceOverdosed: Chuck has an "Old Man Alarm" that used to go off from time to time when referencing 70's and 80's shows. |
61 | * TakeThat: To Cinema Sins when a female actor didn't get a full frontal scene. |
62 | -->"Now that's a cinema sin not some nitpicky bullshit." |
63 | * TeensAreMonsters: He is not too fond of asshole teenagers and has a genuine dislike of slasher teens. |
