Gags used by The Nostalgia Critic in various episodes.

One-Use Gags
The Nostalgia Critic tends to use running gags throughout his reviews. However, most are often self-contained to the one video. These include (but are not limited to)...
 * Various parodies of Nintendo's "Now you're playing with power" slogan in response to questionable behavior (including "incest", "vehicular manslaughter", and "pedophilia...and that's just wrong") in The Wizard.
 * The "Ambiguously Gay Duo" theme used to describe homo-erotic themes and making escape and suicide attempts throughout the entire review in Batman & Robin.
 * The ruler hitting him over the head in Captain Planet every time he says "ruler" as a response to Wheeler saying "fire" to make fire appear.
 * Erotic overtones and comparisons to John McCain in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
 * The repeated use of the word 'Genius!' to describe cheesy scenes and dialogue in Surf Ninjas.
 * Continually mispronouncing Nick Tatopoulos' last name only to have a clip of him saying his actual last name.
 * He did a variation of this in his He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special review which he constantly pronounces Hordak's name wrong, only to have a clip of him saying his actual name
 * "Duck-Tits Woo Hoo!" in his Howard the Duck review, a callback to "Duck-Tales Woo Hoo!" which was first featured in The Top 11 Catchiest Theme Songs.
 * A tumbleweed flying across the screen after bad jokes on Good Burger.
 * Playing the Imperial March and screaming "Jonas!" every time Jonas and his crew drive past in the Twister review, also promoting random products to reflect Jonas selling out.
 * Playing the famous "Friday the Thirteenth" music (Chi-chi-chi-ha-ha-ha) music for certain appearances of Macaulay Culkin's character in The Good Son.
 * "Why? Jackson wills it!" from Moonwalker.
 * Making many imitations of Number 5/Johnny 5 in his Short Circuit 1 & 2 reviews, which are mostly done by jerkily moving his arms and saying synonyms of his opinion on a scene.
 * Different examples of what Willy's whale sounds sound like ("It sounds like Jar-Jar Binks in a blender!") in Free Willy.
 * Shooting Mother Brain from Captain N: The Game Master, saying "I'm awesome." and having the screen flash 'End of Series' while the Captain N announcer says the intro.
 * Linkara & Spoony saying people "Had just 2 days left until retirement" when they're about to die in Alone In The Dark.
 * The Nostalgia Critic did a variation of this in his Hook review, saying that the coconut sliced by Robin Williams had just 2 days left until retirement.
 * The way nobody in Judge Dredd can say the word "law" like a normal person.
 * In the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special review, a counter was used to tally the gay jokes he could have made.
 * A Manchine puppy advertisement in the He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special.
 * Mocking Vanilla Ice's whiteness (complete with a "white-o-meter") in Cool As Ice.
 * Clips from the Star Wars trilogy in Next Karate Kid
 * The Nostalgia Critic barfing after seeing Arnold's "baby" from Junior.
 * "EXTREME!" from Airbourne.
 * In Blank Check, describing clichéd moments as "Bland Shit 101" (two times with animated feces falling down the screen).
 * Nostalgia Critic questions an scene in a movie that makes no sense of why it's in there and says "Cheese." A picture of Cheese comes up as it says 'CHEESE! It's as good as any other answer." Also, Da-Jodel-Rudel plays when that happens.
 * The Nostalgia Critic impersonating multiple voices from The Care Bears Movie when the Care Bears' ship came from behind a rock attacking a spectare crow with a united Care Bears Stare, saying "Taste the Rainbow, mothafucka!"
 * STUFF! when contraptions work in Waterworld.
 * Following Jack Black's quotes with phrases by Khan from Star Trek in Neverending Story III.
 * Following Marlon Waynes' buzzing sounds with Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element in Dungeons and Dragons.
 * Also, many jokes regarding a villain with blue lips ("You got something on your lips...").
 * Scene transition with the Critic in front of a psychedelic background (Parodying the one from Austin Powers) in Inspector Gadget.
 * Screenwriting Cliché #x in Milk Money.
 * Guns being trained on the Critic when he gets overly critical in James and the Giant Peach.
 * A hand slapping the Critic every time he makes a sexual joke about Catherine Zeta-Jones in the review of The Haunting.
 * A clip from A Few Good Men of Jack Nicholson saying, "You fucking people," in the review if Doug's First Movie.
 * In a variant of "Y'know, for kids" (see below), in Jungle 2 Jungle the Disney logo and music is played after truly inappropriate moments.
 * The 'Be Disturbed' button that was pressed during moments in The Cell that were meant to be disturbing (e.g. The Horse scene), which makes a voice say 'BE DISTURBED' along with screaming and a caricature of director Tarsem hopping across the screen and shouting 'Ask me what it means! Ask me what it means! HOO-HOO! HOO-HOO!' The former is parodied when Vince Vaughn's character is being tortured with 'Be Disturbed. Now Turned on. Now confused. Now Disturbed Again'.
 * Variations of "Turtles, fight with honor!" (Like: Turtles, fight with cement!) in the The First Couple: TMNT review.
 * In the review for Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Critic says/yells "It's Thomas The Fucking Tank Engine!!!" whenever Peter Fonda's character acts depressed when the film is supposed to be light-hearted and fun.
 * Throughout the review for Son of the Mask, the title "A Family Picture" appears with the announcer over a screenshot of a scene that would be scary for a family audience.
 * In The King and I, the Critic had title card "on stand-by" that said, "You heard right" when the most impractical thing happens in the movie (i.e. the dragon is defeated by whistling and twirling).
 * In Alone In The Dark when Christian Slayter's character would monologue, he'd say: "Why was I in Star Trek 6" in reference to his Cameo in Star Trek 6 as a minor character with no use.
