Release: January 19, 2010

Film: Conan the Barbarian (1982)

This review contains examples of:

  • Call-Back / Running Gag: The Critic cherishing Mako, first used in the Sidekicks review.
  • Directionless Driver: Referenced; Conan asks a witch for directions, and the two have sex while she gives him the info.
    Critic: (as Conan) Wow! How come more men don't ask for directions? Dis is wonderful!
  • Guilty Pleasures: Invoked. The Critic considers the first film to be this; however, he outright dislikes the sequel.
  • Shout-Out: When Doom declares that he'll crucify Conan, a clip from Blazing Saddles is shown: "...Too Jewish."
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: "Well, when you put it like that FUCK YOOOOUUU!"
  • Take That!: When the sex scene turns blue as the witch becomes feral...
    Critic: (as Conan) Oh no, she's pulling me into Avatar! The visuals will be stunning but the story will be bullshit!
  • Too Much Information: A clip from Pumping Iron plays where Arnold says that working out is as satisfying as cumming. The Critic looks disturbed and says, ".......Good for you."
    Critic: (in announcer voice) "Conan the Cummer"!..... Eew.
  • Unexplained Accent: We get a not too bad theory for Conan's: "How to speak in an Austrian accent. This scroll is very informative!"
