Due to Adam's Deadpan Snarker tendencies and skillful editing, lots of funny moments are to be expected.

YMS
Toy Story 3
- The part at the beginning announcing the results of a contest to win The Hurt Locker on Blu-Ray has several funny parts:
- "ON BLU-RAY!!" (A slowed down clip from a Blu-Ray disc promo is shown, followed by a clip of someone screaming)
- The fact that Sheamurph put multiple entries into the contest just to piss off Adam, and Shea wound up not winning the Blu-Ray because although he came up as the winner on the randomizer, he didn't follow one of the requirements, which was to favorite the video.
- Sheamurph‘s rant about why he hates Pixar films.
World War Z
- During his World War Z review he does a Shout-Out to How It Should Have Ended, by using a clip from their video on the film because they had already perfectly illustrated the glaring Plot Hole Adam was about to discuss: If terminally ill people don't get attacked, it would have become immediately obvious to everyone.Adam: Let's just forget about the 1.1 million people who would probably notice a trend with zombies not coming after them and all.
Adam (As an HIV infectee): All my friends are dead, except every single person in my support group.
(Cut to images of religious fundamentalists claiming AIDS is a punishment from God.)
Adam (As an HIV infectee): Who's on God's side now, biatch?- He manages to work in Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial when Brad Pitt drinks a Pepsi, which then gets incorporated with Jeff Lu's "Spicy Pepsi"
for good measure.
- He manages to work in Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial when Brad Pitt drinks a Pepsi, which then gets incorporated with Jeff Lu's "Spicy Pepsi"
Cool Cat Saves The Kids
- Upon discovering the label on the Cool Cat DVD is poorly glued on the disc, Adam proceeds to remove the label and draw a shoddy representation of the label's graphics on the disc using a marker pen. Cool Cat in particular gets a cartoonish posterior.
- A bully decides to send a mean text about how ugly a girl's hair is because it's pretty. Adam's response?If a bully picks on you for wearing glasses, it's actually because you're not wearing glasses.
- He has a good time making fun of poorly pronounced dialogue by way Fun with Subtitles.Maria: I made a work area with the blanket and the more signs supplies!
Subtitles: I MADE A WORK AREA WITH THE BLANKEY ASS 'EM MORE HEINZ PLIES!
(As the camera rapidly zooms in on Cool Cat)
Adam: What the fuck you just say to me bitch? - He edited clips from Dateline to make it look like Cool Cat was the predator being caught.
- When he explains that he also read the book that came with the DVD, there is just a brief, two-second long clip of Adam almost naked, save for a latex horse mask and the book covering his groin region. He is drinking from a mug with an image of a unicorn puking rainbows on it.I like to read this book with: No clothes on
This book belongs to The Islamic State - He briefly zooms in on a man in the background who walked back into his house after presumably seeing Cool Cat.
- The movie features Erik Estrada, and his lines "That kid kicked sand in Cool Cat's face!" and "Dere he is!" get remixed.
- The various times the film gives bad advice to kids, or contradicts its own.
- Telling kids to open unsolicited text messages from strangers.
- Telling kids that if you get a text saying you've won a secret contest and won a bunch of money, take it. It's not a scam.
- The fact that both the bully in the movie and in the book are the only overweight people around, implying that Derek Savage has something against fat people.
- Cool Cat advises kids to look both ways before crossing the street. Two minutes later, he completely ignores this rule as he chases after Butch the Bully.
- "I'LL FUCKIN' STRANGLE THAT LITTLE SHIT"
- He edits a scene where Cool Cat is checking things on his laptop, making it look like he's browsing the Bad Dragon website and is admiring what said site sells.
- When Cool Cat says "Have a seat!" to Maria, Chris Hansen appears in the bottom right of the screen for a second before promptly vanishing.
- When Cool Cat gets two music numbers one after the other, Adam ups the ante a third time by imposing a bunch of hot women twerking behind Cool Cat while a Death Grips track plays.
- It makes it ten times funnier that during the scene afterwards where Derek and Mama Cat are complementing Cool Cat, the scenes where MC Ride is giving his Nightmare Fuel behavior from "You Might Thing..." is imposed behind him.
The Host
- He likes to emphasize unnecessary pauses a lot, primarily through brief title cards with elevator music playing in the background:Melanie: When you touch me...5 Seconds Later...Melanie: I don't want you to stop.23 Seconds Later...Melanie: Sleep with me...11 Seconds Later...Jared: All I'm saying is...2 Seconds Later...Jared: We have time.15 Seconds Later...Melanie: We only have this... Now...
- And when they finally kiss he adds loud slurping noises to the video.
- Anytime the actors talk about the "romance" and sexual relations, a scene of Carl Winslow with shifty eyes fades in.
- Adam points out how convenient it is that the only spare body for Wanda to inhabit is another conventionally attractive young woman, and asks what would've happened if the only body had instead been Danny DeVito. Then it shows a scene of Danny undressing while laughing manically as a disturbed Ian watches.Adam: That'd be a testament of true love right there.
Megan Is Missing
- "Fuck yeah, non-specific drugs!"
- When Amy walks in on Megan doing something sexual with a guy;Adam: (as Amy) Oh my god! There's a chair in this house!?
- Adam reveals who the director Michael Goi is for those who aren't familiar. The likely audience reaction is priceless.
- When Adam makes fun of a bad transition in a news report which makes it look like the news reporter is eating what was in the previous shot:
- Adam (as news reporter): (slurping) That clip was delicious!
After Earth
- The running gag illustrating how Will's deliberately unemotional acting makes him look lethargically bored.
- After Jaden throws his weapon at the Ursa;Adam (as Jaden): Take that; my one and only means of defense!
- His comment that M. Night Shyamalan being the director is the twist of the movie.
- The montage that plays when it's revealed Shyamalan was the director: An acid trippy combination of Michael Scott shouting "No!" and clips of the worst moments of Shyamalan's previous films, ending with Admiral Zhao in The Last Airbender flatly saying "Yes."
- The running gag where Adam plays beats from Will's rap career over footage of him.
- His explanation for the part where Will wakes up and somehow just knows to check for a graviton buildup;Adam (as Will): Ugh, can't sleep. Too many gravitons.
- Adam reading off tweets from Jaden's twitter.
- Every time Adam says "hotspot", he shows a picture of Jaden with the Wi-Fi hotspot symbol on his furrowed forehead.
Frozen (2013)
- "Hi, welcome to my channel, where I take the fun out of everything."
- Adam is glad he didn't see Frozen in theaters because he thought he would get stares from parents due to him finding the scene where Anna is hit by Elsa's ice magic as a kid hilarious.
- To demonstrate how Disney songs have a habit of unexpectedly crossing people's mind due to their catchy nature, the review cuts to an Overly Long Gag of Adam creepily staring half-naked in the shower while "Under the Sea" plays. It ends with a Kubrick Stare and a smile. The worst kind of smile.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
- Adam's entire review, but especially the section where he lays into Hans Zimmer and Pharrell Williams' score for the film and the "My Enemy / Paranoia" Times Square sequence.Hans Zimmer: This band I put together of Johnny Marr and Pharrell, I didn't pick them because they're good. I picked them because they're really famous.
Adam: For some reason, one of them thought it would be a really fucking good idea to throw in this obnoxiously distracting rhythmical whispering!
Soundtrack (as interpreted by Adam's subtitles): He lied to me! He shot at me! He hates-a-me! He's using me! Virginity! Electricity!
Adam: Like, this shit is all happening during the movie.
Electro: You're so selfish. You set me up!
Spider-Man: No man, I did not set you up!
Electro: YOU LIED TO ME!
Soundtrack: He lied to me! He shot at me! He hates on me! He's using me! Afraid of me! He's dead to me! That Spider-Man, he is my enemy!!! FWOMP WOMP!!!
(Spidey backflips over a car)
Adam: (singing along to the soundtrack in a whiny effeminate voice) Spider-Man! Spider Paranoia, Spider-Man! (normal voice) So they have a really tame fight scene and it ends with Spider-Man spraying him down with a fucking fire hose. Okay, so the defining feature of this villain is that he can harness the power of electricity and you just beat him with water? And not only that, the way he beats him he literally just knocks him over, like the guy's still conscious and breathing and whispering shit under his breath like 'I hate Spider-Man, gar!' But Spider-Man just fucks off over to Gwen Stacy and has a conversation with her! Like, 'job well done, looks like the cops can just apprehend him from here, it's not like he's a supervillain made out of fucking electricity that we've been given no reason to assume is not able to still use his powers!' But fuck it, that's not important, let's cut to the next scene! Come on guys, we've got to finish this up!
Unfriended
- The Running Gag of sneaking in other reviewers into the Skype feed. You can spot Jeremy Jahns, the Nostalgia Critic, and Chris Stuckmann.
- Turning Laura's ghost into Jessi Slaughter.
- Later turning her into Frank Reynolds.
Frank: "I'm the Trash Man! I throw trash all over- all over the ring! And then, I start eating garbage!" - "Oh My God the ghost removed the foreword button! Man this is one scary movie. (Picture of Will Smith) That right there just gives me the chills."
- The "LAURA BARNS KILL URSELF" video being changed into the music video for the Bev and Bob version of Evanscence's "Bring Me to Life" at the end of Part 2 of the review.
- Among other reasons, Ken's death scene (which involves a blender) is ruined for Adam because he recognizes the actor from a Doritos parody commercial.
- "Duh, my name's Blaire, how do I delete my computer?"
- When Blaire goes on Chatroulette to try and get help, one of the webcams is replaced with Big Man Tyrone admonishing her.Blaire: Please, I— Hi, hello!Tyrone: Blaire! I swear on me mum, you are so incredibly stupid! How about you uninstall? You cheeky scrub!
- In the scene of Val's death, he believes that Mitch Screams Like a Little Girl.
- "Oh my God! Blaire was the Origarmi Killer this whole time!"
- Adam improves the ending a considerable amount:*Blaire's computer closes*Laura: I'M ETHAN BRADBERRY]]
Nymphomaniac
- "...no other than motherfucking, Shia Labeouf. *cuts to a music segment* STRANGLING SUPERSTAR SHIA LeBEOUF!
- "Yeaaah this is gonna be an YMS video is it?"
- "Is she a cocoa maniac?"
- At one point, Adam shows the infamous incident where Lars ended up talking about how he is a "Nazi because he's German" at the Cannes Film Festival and begins to zoom in on Kirsten Dunst's reaction to his constant muck ups when he tries to correct himself. In fact there's even an awkward cough in the background as the other cast members just look at him in disbelief.
- Even more is that he continues talking, all while Kirsten is just at the verge of Face Palming and laughing silently while the cast members are just jaw-dropped.
- "Okay I'm a Nazi!" *cue sad music and an article screen shot of Von Trier being banned from the Cannes Film Festival*
- His entire rant regarding the aspect ratio within the film, so much so that he said he actually bought the movie on iTunes again just to see if there was an error. That shows either how dedicated Adam is in showing how much he knows in film production or how worked up he gets at times over small details in hilarity results.
- "I'M CHAROLLETE GAINSBORG AND LIFE SUCKS TRILOGY!"
- His constant mispronunciation of Lars von Trier's last name on purpose.
- Particularly this one
Jupiter Ascending
- He describes the general reaction of the audience to Jupiter being recognized as royalty because of bees as having "simultaneously farted".
- Channing Tatertots.
Saw 1- 7
- Stab Her by Benny Troung playing when a character stabs someone.
The Lovely Bones
- The opening to the review:"Hi, this is Peter Jackson. I hope you enjoy this exclusive REVIEW from my SHITTY movie The Lovely Bones, here on NOTPRODUCTIVE.com."
- "That’s right, fuck with us and you get the purgatory icicle, bitch!" And the ensuing Disney Villain Death is set to Guile’s Theme.
Cyberbully (2011)
- Adam calling out the film for using the song "Breathe Me" by Sia during the part where Taylor attempts to commit suicide:(Record Needle Scratch) Stop it right fucking there! Does anyone recognize that song? It's called "Breathe Me" by Sia, and it is the most overused song EVER! It was used appropriately in the series finale of Six Feet Under, and after that point, it just got raped! And by 'after that point', I mean after I used it in some shitty video I made when I was 15!(Cue a montage of commercials, movie trailers, and TV shows that used said song)You're a little fucking late! This song used to be good, but using it is just a joke now! It's almost as much as a death sentence as using "Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap!(Cue the clip from The O.C. that uses "Hide and Seek", followed by the Saturday Night Live "Dear Sister" Digital Short that parodied it.)
- Adam overlaying more dramatic moments in the film with Ling's blubbering from Kung Pow.
- At the film's conclusion, when the lead character is at a counsel meeting "for other people who couldn't get the cap off", and one of the members lists out various ways one can avoid and/or ignore internet trolls and bullies:Girl: Took me damn forever to find that out.Taylor: ...God, I never thought of that.
Quickie: It Follows
- In an otherwise positive Quickie of It Follows, Adam goes through a bunch of potential questions the film's rules pose regarding the sexually-transmitted entity, some much more nonsensical than others."Will it go after you if you only use oral?"
"Will it go after two different people if there was double penetration?"
"Is there a difference if you're wearing a condom?"
"Is it the penetration or the ejaculation?"
"If you came into a turkey baster and squirted it up someone's vagina, would they get cursed?"
"What about gay sex? What if there was a mantrain?"
"What if you lived on a houseboat?"
"What if you crossed the ocean and never came back?"
"What if you trapped it in a steel reinforced cage?"
"If you already have sex with somebody but you have sex with somebody else after that person, do both of them get it?"
"What if the person you had sex with dies in a way that's completely unrelated to the curse?"
"What if you heavily sedated a shark, and then had sex with it, and then set it free in the ocean?"
"What if there was a mantrain?"
Frozen (2010)
- The fact that both this and the review for Frozen have identical intro sequences, save for a few words being changed.Adam: [A]nd I figured what better what to show my appreciation than to finally getting around to nobody and their grandmother has been telling me to review since its release: Frozen! The original.
Childhood Trauma
- In the part 4 of "Childhood Trauma" when Adam's about to explain why the Ghostwriter traumatized him as a kid, a photo of said reason appears, causing him to abruptly shut up as it zooms in.
Amusement
- "Ah, bingo."
- Adam points out a hilariously odd extra frame in the scene where a girl jumps from the semi-truck and lands on the car behind it. He then proceeds to play that clip over the review multiple times, with text added to the extra frame such as "memes" and "still funny."
- The beautifully edited scene of the killer dangling the car keys as his next victim whips his head back and forth with dramatic music. Somehow even funnier because of how long it goes on for.
- Not long after is a similar scene emphasizing a character assembling "one of the shittiest-looking sandwiches I've ever seen", complete with slow motion, greyscale, comical sound-effects, and Schubert's "Ave Maria".
- "Alright now let's take some bets here, our main character has just escaped the house with a good head start on the killer, will she:
A) Run to the Neighbors?
B) Run to her car, parked right out front?
C) Stand and Scream?
If you guessed C, your expectations for this character are still a little too fucking high. Instead of actually doing anything that would actually help her in this situation, she goes directly to the shed in the backyard and immediately fucks up so badly that she incapacitates herself for him." - Part 2 has the part where the deaf man held upstairs in the creepy house (Actually the killer in disguise.) reaches out towards Lisa's mouth rather awkwardly. It's editing of him playing with her lip at ludicrous speed can only really be described as comedy gold.
- In Part 3: Adam's increasing exasperation at the reveal that Tabitha was being held in a dank underground lair and somehow didn't notice or question waking up in such a place, and that the trauma counselor apparently didn't see anything wrong with being called to a lair located under an abandoned farm that she'd have to get to via a rickety mine shaft elevator.Adam: If you have a better explanation for what could have happened, please let me know because I am desperately trying to apply logic to this film, and it's just not working out.
The Last Jedi
- In the middle of Adam's review, he goes on a fairly long, detailed rant, venting about Rose Tico, and it is hilarious.Adam: But there was one part of the film that I think actually gave me cancer, when Finn is about to kamikaze himself and save everybody, but Rose crashes her ship into him. First of all, there's a very good chance that you both should've died right then and there, so I don't know how that was supposed to save him. But then they're both magically okay and Finn goes up to her and is like, "Why the fuck would you do that?!", and the line of dialogue that she used to justify this fucking plot device triggered me so hard. She said "we're not going to win this war by fighting what we hate, we have to save what we love". Ugh, really? That's just fucking stupid. Also, Rose, you were literally fighting what you hate just moments ago! You were also in your own ship shooting at the thing! What, we're not allowed to shoot at the things anymore?! That would kinda ruin Star Wars, wouldn’t it?! You’re not allowed to fight the bad guys that are trying to kill you?! "No, you can't fight what you hate, that's wrong! You've gotta save what you love!" Was he not trying to save what he loves by fighting what he hates?! Was he not trying to sacrifice himself so that everyone else would live?! What the fuck is your problem, Rose?!
Neil Breen
- After ordering all of Neil Breen's films (which is revealed to be a Guide Dang It! process in which you must order one film but specify another in the shipping instructions), Adam decides to screen them all for a drunk viewing party to get genuine reactions throughout the reviews.
- His films end up containing a number of recurring Creator Thumbprints, including Breen playing a morally superior Author Avatar (and in one case, "alien Jesus, sort of"), the Nevada desert, hacking to expose government secrets, supernatural events, Prop Recycling, dead wives, and many characters (including Breen's) being The Klutz.
- The credits for Double Down are filled with unironic and possibly unintentional credits gags, including many of its roles being filled by Breen, as well as lighting and makeup credited to none.
- "Because the evil corporate businessman sabotaged solar development, this girl gets laid off. So how is she supposed to feed that fake baby now? Perhaps she should train to become a military sniper."
- "So now the gang finds out there's an undercover cop amongst them. So naturally, they give him the most epic beatdown ever captured on film." [cue said scene with "Gonna Fly Now" in the background]
- The Running Gag of everyone being so clumsy (especially Breen and his laptops), to the point where you can make one of said scenes grayscale and instantly get the opening scene of a direct response commercial.
- The sound editing error causing keyboard noises to continue playing even after Breen is done "typing".
- The kidnapping of Breen's "replacement wife" turns into yet another commercial, for Derek Savage's gun self-defense for women videos.Derek: This film also covers mace, knife protection, stun guns, knife protection, karate self-defense, mace, knife protection, mace, karate self-defense, Baseball, bullying, karate self-defense, bullying, Baseball—
- The ending of Fateful Findings goes off the rails intensely.
- During said scene, one worker simply calls himself "The President of The Bank". Cue Adam going "The Bank.", with such a grueling tone.
Oldboy
- Adam referring to Joe's blood pillow as a "homemade dakimakara"
- "First he shows up and cancels Mr. Robot." (cut to Joe striking his hammer into the forehead of Rami Malek’s character)
- Father! *BANG*
Kimba The White Lion
- The bizarre "wa wa wa" music (from the episode "The Trappers") that plays at many, many points throughout the review. After repeated listenings, it becomes both annoying and hilarious.
- As Adam recounts all the weird and surreal plots that happened in the original 1965 anime, he brings up the time Kimba became a victim of cartoon lion racism.Adam: There’s an episode where he goes to a lion convention, and he gets bullied because of the color of his fur.
Specklerex: You’re just a white pussycat like your father!
Kimba: (outraged) You have no right to call him names just because he was white!
Specklerex: (dismissively) Get this kitten out of here!
Kimba screams out in fear as two other, older lions pounce on him and beat the shit out of him.- This incident is mentioned again later in the video, when Adam is summing up the episodic nature of the series after the pilot episode:
Adam: And that’s pretty much the summary of the entire show, because everything after that point is just random new conflicts with barely any consistency. Oh no, the humans are trying to hunt everyone! Oh no, there’s a giant spider! Oh no, I’m being bullied because I’m white! - Early on, Adam decides to talk about the episode "Too Many Elephants", where Kimba tries to save a herd of elephants from being put down by humans, which gets surprisingly dark, even by "Kimba’s" usual standards.Adam: So he shows up to warn the elephants, but they just bully him a bunch because all of the elephants in this show are just massive dicks for no reason - except this one baby elephant, I guess, who’s just absolutely terrifying. So Kimba spies on the park commissioner and confirms his suspicions-
Official: We have tanks, plus motor-guns and a helicopter. I can assure you that our hunting party will see to it that every single elephant in the park is destroyed!
Adam: So Kimba goes back to the elephants and he just gets bullied some more-
Kimba: (angrily) You’re mean! I mean it, Packer Dermus! Now I understand why the humans want to exterminate you!
Adam: He tries to warn them quite a few times, but they won’t stop bullying him. Eventually, he gives up and just decides to warn Pee-Wee the baby elephant instead. So he gets him to hide in this spot that’s apparently just closed at night. And then the humans just start destroying the elephants with fucking tanks and helicopters. So they drive the entire herd into a canyon so they can trap them and detonate explosives and have the canyon collapse in on top of them! What the fuck?! They’re all dead!
Kimba: (glumly) I’m sorry elephants, I tried to save you.
Adam: Who would have thought "Kimba" would have an episode about elephant genocide! What exactly is the theme in this episode?
Kimba: (thinking'') Why couldn’t all the elephants be nice like Pee-Wee? Then they wouldn’t have had to have been exterminated. - In a fairly lengthy yet comprehensive tangent in the video, Adam decides to address the elephant in the room and talk about just how creepy it is that Kimba keeps his father’s skinned pelt around to consult with.Adam: One of the few consistent aspects of this show includes how he just hangs around his dad’s dead body for no reason. It is so unintentionally morbid and I don’t understand for the life of me why it’s such an important aspect of this show. It’s just very weird and fucked up. There’s an episode where Kimba’s friends wear his dad’s dead body to trick Kimba into thinking his dad is encouraging him.
...
Adam: Sometimes the episode will be going on like normal and it will just cut to Kimba using his dad’s dead body like it’s a fucking chair, sometimes he’ll hide inside his ass!
...
Adam: Near the end of the series, he meets his long lost sister who’s very proud of him for taking such good care of their father’s hide, so she convinces Kimba to go to this shrine where entire generations of their grandfathers’ hides are.
Kimba: We certainly have lots of grandfathers!
Adam: Like this has apparently been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years, and now they need to move the hides to a safer place cause the natives aren’t there to protect them anymore. So they’re just carrying around a bunch of dead relatives, and then the okapi show up and help them, and it’s really really weird still. At some point in their journey, some black leopards decide that they want to be bullies and just massively fuck things up for everybody - and everyone almost fucking drowns trying to save these hides.
Kimba: Forget about the hides, try to save your friends!
Adam: So after saving his sister’s life, she wakes up and everyone is like ‘yeah, thanks to Kimba telling us to save our friends instead of saving the hides, we’re all okay, yay!’
Leona: What?! What did you say?! You lost some of our grandfathers’ hides?! How could you?! Kimba, you were bad!
Adam: What a fucking psycho! Sorry for saving your fucking life! This whole dead dad’s body shit is so weird and fucked up, and it is a more much consistent aspect of this show than the vast majority of comparisons from the Kimba crowd. - While he's discussing the sequel series, Adam decides to take a moment to talk about Kimba/Leo's parenting skills:Adam: Anyway Leo has two children in this show, Rune and Ruki, and the character of Leo is just constantly such a huge asshole in this show.
Mandi: (scolding) You have no right to strike an animal like that!
Kimba: Get out of my way! (Kimba strikes him in a rage, causing the baboon to fall over, bleeding and lifeless).
Rune and Rukio: You killed Mandi!
Adam: He literally just abuses his children for no reason!
(The scene cuts to Kimba slamming his son against the ground by his tail, over and over again out of anger.)
Adam: In the episode where his children are born, he spends a while trying to make them stronger, and even his wife is like 'hey, they were just born not too long ago, maybe you should hold off on this for a bit?' But Leo decides to just ignore her advice and be really extreme about it.
Rune: (squeals out in fear, as Kimba grabs him by the scruff of the neck and runs off with him) Daddy, please don’t hurt me! I wasn’t really going to run away! Let me go! I want to go home! Daddy, please!
Adam: So he runs around with his son for about a day and then just ditches him in the middle of fucking nowhere. So Rune has to find his way home by himself and he really just winds up being traumatized.
Rune: (crying his eyes out while he dodges lightning and rock slides) Daddy!
Adam: During this long and perilous journey, he almost dies several times, and then, only just when he’s about to be fucking gutted does his dad show up. 'Yeah, I was watching you from a distance and probably could have helped at any moment, but I wanted you to be within a millisecond of losing your fucking life before I jumped in'.
Leah: How did you know he wouldn’t get hurt?
Kimba: (smiling) Because I watched him every step.
Adam: (flatly) Okay. I’m sure this child will grow up to be perfectly normal and well-adjusted, without any psychological scars! Speaking of Scars Claw doesn't even appear in this entire series, but that doesn't stop some people from using this show to make these comparisons... - One example that Adam used to illustrate how the themes and morality of the sequel series are all over the fucking place can elicit a few chuckles:Kimba: Remember, when you use force to solve a problem, it shows others that you've run out of good ideas.
(Immediately cuts to Kimba repeatably slamming his son against the ground earlier.) - In the sequel series, Adam gets increasingly exasperated at Kimba taking offense at Lubar for having a group of leopards ready to defend him due to it being unfair and deciding to help the blind tribesman murder them, even after he saw him kill around a dozen leopards earlier with grenades.Kimba: Those odds would make it murder, Lubar, not a fight. You've forced me to take the man's side against you.
Adam: The guy's trying to kill him! You just saw him murder a dozen other leopards with grenades! At what point do you consider it to be not a fair fight anymore? Is he not allowed to defend himself?!
...
Adam: So the tribesman's like, 'yo, won't the other animals hate you for joining my side?'
Kimba: Why don't you let me worry about that? I have a hatred myself. I hate unfair odds, come on.
Blind Man: You're a strange lion, Leo.
Adam: First of all, it seems like he's got this under control. And second, what kind of twisted ass backwards morality is this, anyway? If there was one hunter trying to destroy everything in your jungle, would you just join his side? "I mean it's just one hunter and I don't like unfair odds, so I guess I have to!" What is your fucking problem, Leo?! Might I remind you that this character's journey is being called way to similar to Simba's. Yeah, remember how Simba started off as a kind and caring vegetarian child and then grew up to be basically Hitler?
...
(After Lubar is killed...)
Blind Man: I've won at last...
(Proceeds to laugh madly before collapsing to the ground, dead.)
Adam: Are you fucking happy, Leo? Did you learn anything from this?
Kimba: Both of them fought till the end. And in the end, all they were fighting over was a past hatred that was already dead.
Adam: You fucking participated, you asshole! Don't pretend like you're taking the moral high ground here! What is your deal, Leo?! - While Adam is talking about how numerous people were using footage from Jungle Emperor Leo in their arguments despite the fact that it came out three years after The Lion King, the video cuts to him reacting to one channel using said footage:(Cut to him watching a different video on Kimba)Adam: YOU'RE USING CLIPS FROM THE '97 MOVIE! What are you doing?! You don't know what you're talking about!
Space Jam: A New Legacy
- "Space Jam: A New Legacy does not have space and it does not have jam!"
- "[Lola Bunny] looks awful, and this has nothing to do with her tits because I don't even like tits!"
Skyscraper
- *writer describing a setpiece from the movie that they think would be cool* Let's worry about how much sense it makes later.
- Adam calling out the Viewers Are Morons explaining of the Chekhov's Gun rebooting.
The Lion King
- In a meta sense, Adam concluded the Kimba the White Lion episode by stating that he would "be very surprised if [the Lion King review] was over two hours". As of now, part one (which covers everything up to Mufasa's death) is over two hours by itself.
- His reaction to realizing that John Oliver did such a poor job that he said "If this is where the monarchy is headed, county out!"Adam: "I'm so tired. I'm so tired of all of this. If this is where my life is headed, county out."
- "It's 2019 and you're not allowed to show mentally handicapped characters or Mexicans."
- At one point, Adam goes on a tangent about how the Japanese version is actually considerably better than the original English version. The tangent begins with him opening the Blu-ray case for the Japanese version, and ends with him closing it, revealing it to actually have the cover for Jungle Emperor Leo, causing Adam to recoil in horror.
- Adam's clear exasperation when reading the (now deleted) "for your consideration" page for the movie, where Disney nominated the movie for almost every single award there is, including nominating every single actor and actress for the "best actor" and "best supporting actor" awards; awards which have never nominated voice-only performances. He keeps emphasizing that this is real to drive home how crazy it is to him.Adam: What kind of movie do they think they made?! This is real! It seems as though the only category they didn't try to get a nomination for was "best animated feature". Fucking incredible!
- When first showing Mufasa's death in the 2019 remake, Adam dubs it over with Half-life sound effects, completely draining away what little tension was left in the scene.
The Flash
- "Wait, he's batman?!"
- "So we took an actor that should've been removed from the movie and we instead made two of them. Talk about doubling down, i guess."
- "Oh that's what they mean by they/them, there's two of them; i get it."
- "It doesn't matter. Just don't think about it. If you run fast then time goes backwards and also of you run fast then time goes forwards also"
- "*grunt* *grunt* [close-up of The Flash fiddling with Batman's costume] *grunt* Hey *grunt* Hey *grunt* Hey *grunt* Hey *grunt* Hey"
- And it happens again when Barry 2 dies.
Adum & Pals:
Catwoman (2004)
- The entirety of "Adum & Pals: Catwoman (2004)" is a riot since it's a rapidly-edited-together stream of three guys riffing on and laughing at an already-hilarious movie, but some highlights:
- Due to the film's overdoing of Jump Cuts, the editor is able to repeatedly splice in footage of Cool Cat Saves the Kids without interrupting the flow, which ends up being a lot funnier than it should be.
- Their erroneous assumption that the Asian actor playing Wesley (Byron Mann) was "the Asian guy from fucking X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (Daniel Henney) is followed up by Scott saying he's actually Jet Li, sending them all into hysterics.
- In the film's climax, the character gets slammed into a wall then awkwardly left dangling over a bar with his eyes open, leading a moment of confusion for the trio to realize that it actually killed him, then questioning what even happened physics-wise.
Mark: He cracked his head open and his soul left the body, you can see it!- In the same scene, they continue to refer to him as Jet Li, with his partner as "Jean-Claude Dafoe".
- The entire buildup of the seemingly-dead Patience being revived by a group of stray housecats, especially since the payoff is that she's brought back to life by what appears to be a CGI cat burping in her mouth!
- After a scene of Patience standing up to her boss, which includes her retorting with the line "Then let me try the remix," it gets a hilarious Call-Back later on as she's woken up by the loud music next door, where as she dramatically jolts her head as the camera closes-up:Mark: ..."Time for the remix!"
(Scoot bursts into laughter)
Adam: No cat— (also bursts into laughter) - The trio's reaction to the infamous basketball scene, helped by them hoping that the shots not featuring Halle Berry's face are actually of a stuntman in a wig, making the weirdly sexual shots all the more hilarious.Scott: I've never referred to a one-on-one basketball game as "disgusting" before, but that was!
- Their not-entirely inaccurate take on the film's Catwoman outfit, especially with Patience's Crazy Cat Lady mentor offering her a "fetish mask."Mark: Here, have my fetish mask!
(Everyone bursts into laughter)
Ophelia: Accept it.
Mark: Accept the fetish! It's not a phase! - "She had to read the lines 'Help, somebody! It's Catwoman! She killed George.'"
- Their realization that Benjamin Bratt's character appears to be the only cop in the city as he appears at every crime scene in seconds, participates in forensics investigations, talks to children at schools, speaks for the police to the news, and even interrogates Patience himself.
Daredevil
- Adam opens the commentary by stating that he wants to make an artistic commentary video, so all three start speaking at once. He feels it's the Synecdoche, New York of commentaries.
- "How am I gonna pay for my night drinking without day mugging?"
- This unforgettable line from Adam:
- Even better is Scott's reaction:''Hold on. Uh, no. Let's talk about what Adam said for like half an hour.''
- Even better is Scott's reaction:
- Elektra introduces herself.Elektra: My name is Elektra Natchios.Scott: That's not-All three, in unison: Elektra Nachos?!
- Despite mocking the early 2000s soundtrack choices, the pals end up singing My Immortal when it plays in the movie.
13 Reasons Why
- "Is that the Asian guy from 13 Reasons Why?"
- Really, the pals' love for Zach Dempsey cannot be overstated. They cheer him on in every scene he's in, and they shriek like schoolgirls when Zach kisses Alex.
Scott: The Asian Man is on, show some respect! - Clay is making the face.
- Scott and Gäell try to figure out the plot.Gäell: Dude, what if he's dead?Scott: Oh, what if they're all dead? What if it's Lost?
- The show eventually gets so batshit that they incredulously point out how none of their riffs matter now that previous jokes end up coming true.
- Dumbfounded by the show's attempts to humanize its villains (an attempted school shooter and a rapist for instances), they joke about which loathsome character they relate to the most. Adam snarks that he relates with Hannah, aka the girl who killed herself.
- Each Season 3 episode has a different piece of evidence that's relevant. On one episode:Adam: Evidence: A Gun.Scott: That's pretty good evidence.
- Later episodes devolve into Scott talking about how great Bryce is, which crosses the lines just enough times.
- Late into Season 3, the trio completely forgets about the episode to do something much more interesting, play Arabic Word Or Lord Of The Rings character/place.
- They completely lose their shit when Clay enters "I covered up a murder" for his college application.Adam (laughing his ass off): SEND IT!
- They note the rather poorly placed Product Placement for Dasani Water and come up with a commercial where Tyler quickly gets over being broom-raped after Clay hands him a bottle. The highlights version has Adam oblige and mock up a quick version of said commercial.
- They give Monty his own theme song, which consists of saying "Broooom raaaper!" to the tune of Goldfinger.
- In the penultimate episode of Season 4, Adam comes up with a brilliant plan for the characters: Pin everything on Clay.Scott: Everyone betray Clay!
- The same episode has Alex lament the death of Bryce, the death he himself caused."Alex": Whoever did it should be punished!"Clay": But you did it."Alex": Oh yeah, even I forgot!
The Fanatic
- As the movie forgets about it (until the end), Adam and the others insist on knowing the status of the maid that had accidentally been killed earlier by Moose. They riff that the closing credits will be accompanied by a timelapse of her corpse decomposing followed by said corpse saying "chaos reigns".
420 AWARDS SHOW - 2019
- Being an awards show starring Derek Savage, its no surprise the whole thing was a dumpster fire. Here are some highlights:
- "Where did you get your start Derek? Was it weird softcore Porn?"
- Adum and Pals getting frustrated at the fact that the owner of the comedy club starts doing material in the middle of the show.
- Adum calling Playgirl "tasteful" and that NO GAY PEOPLE looked at it.
- The running gag of Derek Savage mispronouncing words. He calls Emma Stone "Emma Smith", Avengers: Infinity War "Affinity War" and Ariana Grande "Andre Grande".
Scott: That's not an accent, that's a problem.- Derek bringing random people on stage to accept awards and bringing magicians, singers, comedians and a ventriloquist randomly between awards to pass the time.
This is like a fucking child's birthday party or something.- One of the comedians brought on stage is an eccentric man who screams out of nowhere, randomly utters "gang-rape", points the microphone at the crowd, mutters lots of unintelligible words and doesn't blink once. Adum and Pals interpret him as a "coked-up Carlos Mencia".
Killer Bean Forever
- Scott referring to director Jeff Lew as "Leff Jew".
- Adum and Pals saying "James Cromwell?" whenever Detective Cromwell's name is mentioned.
- Cappuccino's absolutely ridiculous accent is made fun of at pretty much every opportunity.Scott: The first Cuban-Italian mob boss.
- Adum and Pals pointing out how everyone has the same face in the movie, along with how they always seem to be frowning, which they call the "resting bean face". Gael even refers to it as "the sequel to Anomalisa".
- Gael asking what Jet Bean's name was, resulting in Scott desperately trying to hold back his words…to no avail.Scott: Ching chong ping pong!
(Cue edited jail cell)
The Twilight Saga: New Moon
- During one scene, the Pals end up doing impressions of Mickey Mouse, which inevitably results in Adum doing a... rather inappropriate... impression of Goofy. You know it's bad when even Scott seems mildly bothered by it.Scott: Hey guys, it's me, Adam. I can do a flawless impression of Goofy but only when he's about to fuck his son.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
- The whole Honeymoon scene.
- Adum and Pals being concerned with the quality of Bella's chicken, which looks undercooked. When she vomits into the toilet as a result of her pregnancy, they come to the conclusion that it's the result of her cooking skills.
- When Adum brings up the comic "I Will Survive", an infamous abortion comic featuring Judy Hopps, they immediately tell him to not speak of the comic.
- Near the end of the episode, Jacob imprints onto Bella and Edward's child, who is just a baby. The group immediately reacts with what looks like a mix of horror, disgust, excitement and joy.
The 2018 Academy Awards
- Adam being baffled at "This is Me" from The Greatest Showman being nominated for Best Original Song, comparing it to the song at the end of Bruno.
The 2021 Academy Awards
- For best actor, Adam and Scott immediately lock Chadwick Boseman (Scott had him locked since December). Scott dares Gäell to pick anyone else, for a million pointsnote . He locks Anthony Hopkins. By some miracle, Hopkins actually wins Best Actor, making Gäell the winner by 999,997 points.
The 2022 Academy Awards

- The gang realizes that you can't cut the mic on someone using sign language.Adam: Try to silence me now, assholes!
- When the slap happens, and the audio gets cut, Adam just assumes it's yet another Oscars skit... only to notice how actually mad Will Smith was.Chris Rock: That was, uh... ...greatest night in the history of television.Adam: Oh my God...
- Gäell and Scoot's summary of the incident was that Will was laughing at Chris' joke, noticed Jada wasn't, and in order to fix it, he had to "murder Chris Rock".
Girl Finds Out She's Adopted
- The girl is looking for evidence in the attic, and stumbles upon a book:Gäell: Wait, that's the Quran.[The girl opens the book, revealing it to be hollow.]Gäell: No wait, it's a fake Quran.Scott: Is that what's in the Quran?!Gäell: The secret's out.
- Gäell misreads a black security man's name tag as Brownie (instead of Browne), and gets chewed out by the others. Cut to the next shot, where the name tag has been replaced by Jackson.
- The girl keeps printing out map directions, which leads to the gang calling out her apparrent technological illiteracy.Adam: You could find the place easier if you looked it up online...Scott: Nonono, you go to Mapquest and you print that shit out.
- Candy Johnson's first reaction when seeing a fifteen-year-old? "Are you the police?"Gäell: Let me see your nipples.

- As Durant runs through Chinatown because Darkman is impersonating him...
Scott: (In a news article tone) "Fake Russian Man Goes On Chinatown Rampage".
Miscellaneous
- Scoot. Just Scoot. He absolutely loves saying things that will shock the audience, and by extension, Adam and Gäell.
- His habit of making pedophile jokes at the worst possible time, which even disturbs himself at times.
- Scoot's sense of humour makes it even more hilarious whenever he's shocked by something Adam or Gäell says.
- "The Brownie Incident". To keep it short, Adam went to a restaurant with his parents, Scoot and Gäell. Despite it being an excellent restaurant, Gäell didn't eat anything until he saw a sign that said he could get a free brownie if he gave the restaurant a review. Adam and Scoot were shocked to see that Gäell didn't even give a review, and just left a 4/5 star rating (the waitress he showed the review to gave him the brownie anyway). After this, Adam, Scoot, and Adam's parents proceeded to make fun of him in their own 5 star reviews of the restaurant, as well as apologizing for Gäell's made up deficiencies. Both Adam and fans have called this Gäell's "Larry David moment".
- Gäell passive aggressively accusing Scoot of cheating in Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.Gäell: I'm not saying you cheated. I'm saying there's a chance you cheated.Scoot: What the fuck?!
