NChickGags

This is a list of Running Gags TheDudette has used as The Nostalgia Chick.

"Puppies!"
This running gag was first introduced in the Pocahontas episode. After introducing herself, the Nostalgia Chick enthusiastically cried out the word "puppies", which was then followed by an image of puppies and the sound of children cheering. This became a running gag throughout the review. The next appearance of the gag came in the Anastasia review. During a scene in which the character Anastasia, now called Anya, asks for a sign, the Nostalgia Chick asks, "How about a puppy?" Moments later, a puppy appears on screen, greatly pleasing the Nostalgia Chick. Another moment was during the Top 11 Villainesses video. After describing the villainess Cruella de Vil, the Nostalgia Chick looks on as we see a number of puppies, all from the film 101 Dalmatians. The Chick remains stone faced for a number of moments before finally breaking and saying, "Alright, fine...PUPPIES," which was then accompanied by the now expected sound of children cheering.

Singer-induced Daze
The Chick has a habit of spacing out when certain male singers are involved in things she reviews. The first instance came after a cameo by Meat Loaf in Spice World. Justin Timberlake also caused a daze when the Chick included "Dick in a Box" in "Top 10 Disturbing and Inescapable Christmas Songs". While the Chick reviews Labyrinth, she constantly finds herself entranced by David Bowie wearing tight pants. She also goes into a daze after learning Barry Manilow composed Thumbelina, but finds the songs are among his worst.

"Yay!"
The Nostalgia Chick tries to find various uses for her soundbyte of children cheering. The first few came during "Puppies!" scenes in reviews mentioned above. Another use appeared during the Thumbelina review, after one instance of Thumbelina saying, "It's impossible," which the Chick treats as Thumbelina's catchphrase due to her excessive pessimism. She also played it in her Babysitters Club review after successfully finding the pronunciation of Schuyler Fisk on Wikipedia. The sound she uses for the children appears to be the generic "Kids Cheering.gaf" file included with iMovie.
