The Grinch (2018)

(The Channel Awesome logo and NC title sequence play)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Say! (picks up and looks at his cell phone) It's December! (chuckles) Well, I suppose I should change into my Christmas clothes, not that Christmas is a big deal around here. HA-HA!

(He stands up and throws his arms out. In a dramatic fashion, his jacket turns into his Christmas jacket from last year, in the style of Sailor Moon's transformation. After his Christmas jacket appears on him, he salutes dramatically)

NC: Now I'm ready for Christmas!

Malcolm: (offscreen) Um, Critic?

(NC looks toward who said that: it's Malcolm and Tamara. They are standing in the doorway, looking visibly disturbed. Malcolm points down to NC's lower half, trying to get his attention. NC looks down at where Malcolm is pointing. It seems as though the transformation had turned out too much like Sailor Moon's transformation, as he is now wearing a blue skirt instead of pants)

NC: (looking up) I know. It's intentional. I wanted to see if a more breezy Christmas was what I was looking for, as...some girls choose to fight crime in this.

Tamara: Naturally...

NC: Naturally. But I feel I don't have the, um...calves for this, so I will...alter this outfit.

Malcolm: It was a good try.

NC: (pointing to them) Yeah, you get it. You get it.

(Again, he raises his hand in the air and another transformation takes place. Malcolm and Tamara are surprised)

Tamara: Critic?

NC: (now wearing a shorter blue skirt, waving dismissively) It's fine, it's fine. I want this. I totally want this.

Malcolm: Even though you just said it didn't work.

NC: I said that because I needed more leg to balance out the size of the calves.

Malcolm: (nods, not entirely convinced) Mm-hmm, balance out.

NC: Yes, it's freeing. (whispering) It's very freeing.

Tamara: (she and Malcolm shake their head) It doesn't look freeing.

NC: I feel alive. Very alive.

Tamara: You look dead. Very dead.

NC: (whispering) Leave.

Malcolm: Both inside and outside, dead.

NC: (whispering) Leave.

Tamara: (NC is still whispering "Leave") We're gonna go get some boots to balance out this whole situation.

NC: (whispering) Leave.

Malcolm: (NC is still whispering "Leave") I'd get you some meatballs for your hair, but then you'd just look silly.

NC: (still whispering) Leeeeeeeave.

(Malcolm and Tamara finally take the hint and leave)

NC: (turning back to the camera) Somehow, this connects to The Grinch.
