History TakeThat / TheNostalgiaCritic

* The Critic has made a lot of negative comparisons to the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels to varying degrees of subtlety.

* In the review of ''Conan The Barbarian'' he took a shot at ''Film/{{Avatar}}'':

* The ''Ferngully 2'' review mocks Batty's non-joke about oysters with "Because if you can't be funny, be confusing! It works really well for the 'New Yorker'!"

* The Sharknado Review has one to Series/MythBusters, though it round up more as a ShallowParody that makes it come off as a case of him mocking the show without actually having watched it.

** When Derrick is shooting at Critic, Critic tells him he's like the NRA because he'll take any excuse to shoot things.

* In ''Film/ThePurge'', he {{sarcasm mode}}s that “if gay or ethnic people sung Oh Beautiful that'd be a cause for outrage”, referencing all the people who got angry at the Superbowl ad for doing that.

** The meninists are the villains, and the Critic, Curiosa and even Devil Boner all rip into them. They also get drafted into the military to replace women because they don't believe women can fight. Devil Boner pretty much calls them out for berating women for wanting to be tough yet [[SubParSupremacist do nothing manly themselves to prove themselves as the superior sex.]]

** The girl who is called out by the lead as only taking parts of the bible that she wants is referred to as Kim Davis by Critic.

* He isn't a [[{{Understatement}} fan of Pokemon]], he finds it annoying and confusing. In a few videos the critic revels in showing/seeing Pokemon suffering or dying in his reviews. One example showing Pikachu being decapitated by Ash Williams from Evil Dead, afterwards he shows a devastated Ash crying while holding the head of Pikachu as Ash insults him by saying "Pokemon go fuck yourself".

--->'''Conan:''' Oh no! I'm pulled into ''Film/{{Avatar}}''! The visuals will be stunning but the story will be absolute bullshit!

--->'''Christy:''' Hey, this is a lot like those ''Twilight'' movies--\\

---> '''Critic as White Rabbit:''' You might remember this from the much better Disney movie.\\

---> '''Nostalgia Critic:''' Oh no, he turned them into Website/YouTube commenters!

--->[[spoiler: '''Creator/GerardButler:''' [[ChewingTheScenery TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR, HOW I WONDER]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis WHAT. YOU. ARE.]] ''[[Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004 I WAS THE PHANTOM]]!'']]

--->'''Tamara!Elsa''': Costumes from this kid's movie will meet our slutty extremes! ''(Sexy Elsa costume flashes on screen)''\\

--->'''Critic''': ''I don't care if you sing it so well/you're not Idina Menzel!"\\

--->'''Critic''': Keep it alive, people.

--->'''Book:''' Of course the hardest part about getting bitches into your cab is not calling them bitches. Most of them think they have rights or something. But seeing how you're pathetic enough to buy this book, clearly you don't think that. You see them as a nice little piece of ass to put your stick shift into.

* He gets in a dig at the stereotypical version of ''Website/{{Tumblr}}'' in ''Film/DemolitionMan'', saying that “everyone's over-sensitive, can't take a joke and is obsessed with the past? It's like a future run by tumblr.” Later on he has another crack at them saying “wow, sexual interaction is done without actually touching the person you're dating? This really is tumblr!" And RuleOfThree, in the main woman's voice, “my white knighting hero who I never asked to be my white knight, this really is tumblr.”[[note]]He says in the sum-up that both 4chan and tumblr have good and bad points, but 4chan was only vaguely complained about once in the actual review.[[/note]]

* Ever since he was forced to take down his review of ''Film/TheRoom'', he takes any and all opportunities for a TakeThat to Tommy Wiseau. He even puts on a show in his Tommy Wiseau impression at conventions!

* Rachel and Malcolm's song in the ''Film/LesMiserables'' review is all about how lazy, crazy and a little slutty both Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter are. In ''Film/AliceInWonderland2010'', Helena Bonham Carter gets mocked again along with Creator/JohnnyDepp for “finding her niche and never doing anything else”. They both also die horribly at the hands of Malice, so one wonders if Doug likes her very much.

* The Nostalgia Critic makes two attacks against ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' in his ''WesternAnimation/TheCareBearsMovie'' review, Edward Cullen was also on his scale on annoyance. This is by no means the only time he bashes Edward. In ''A Troll In Central Park'', at one point the Critic says that Stanley is "as bland as Edward from ''Twilight''".

* He pulls off a quick one in the [[ToBeContinued To Be Concluded]] stinger at the end of his Film/TheMatrixReloaded review. After remarking earlier in the review that the [[Franchise/TheMatrix Matrix series]] was [[SarcasmMode obviously intended to be a trilogy from the beginning, just like Transformers, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Highlander;]] [[ThreeActStructure given how the first movie had a concrete beginning, middle, and ending,]] [[ForegoneConclusion there was no reasonable way to expect it to be anything BUT.]] Cue the end of the review, which ends with a SmashCut to a [[ToBeContinued black screen with text that reads: "To Be Concluded."]] This then changes to, [[FridgeLogic "Which if this were always meant to be a trilogy we would've ended the first film saying that, too."]] Followed by, [[TakeThat "Just Saying."]]

* In ''TMNT'', Tamara!April is completely not incapacitated by her ropes because the villains suck with bondage knowledge as much as [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey E.L James]] does.

* In ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'', the meninists are the villains, and Critic, Curiosa and even Devil Boner all rip into them. They also get drafted into the military to replace women because they don't believe women can fight.

* In his review of ''Pink Floyd: The Wall'', he wears a face circle that says "Person You Hate" on there in one scene. This was angrily interpreted by some as a middle finger to the #ChangetheChannel movement.
