Tropes:
- Call-Back: To the Critic's "Top 11 Dumbasses in Distress", in which Mary Jane Watson ranks at 11: the Critic and Hyper Fangirl try to avoid talking about the Spider Man girlfriends by allowing the other to talk first. The Critic only does this because he knows there's little to nothing that can be said to defend Mary Jane.
- Character Development: A major reason for why the critic feels Garfield's Spiderman is better than Maguire's. While he acknowledges that both incarnations have flaws, Garfield starts to overcome them throughout the films, while Maguire makes little to no progress in the series and makes the exact same mistakes he's already made.
- Damned by Faint Praise: When trying to come up with a good thing about Mary Jane, Fangirl admits that she has pretty hair.
- Hypocritical Humor: Even though he had previously denounced her, the Critic ends up coming up with good points about Mary Jane and tries to defend them.
- Rhetorical Question Blunder: This happens when they are about to discuss the best villains:Critic: Is there anything more evil than comic book villains?
Hyper Fangirl: Actual murders?
Critic: Aaaaand you made it weird... This is "Best Villains".
Fangirl: You asked... - Running Gag: The phrase "caramelizing your insides until they're stretchy and sweet".Critic: You know, I don't like how that's becoming a thing.
"I hunch."
