Much like the Shitty Video Game review tropes thread, you guys give some tropes you hate when it comes to movie reviews.

The "Funny Man"
"Oh this scene is super weird lemme just cut to me reacting in a goofy over the top manner."

The Nit Picker
"There is a woman in the back of this intense argument scene not paying attention and just drinking an obviously empty cup of coffee, docking points for that."

Funny man: "Oh this scene is super weird lemme just cut to me reacting…"

(gets interrupted by a guest star)

Other types of "funny man review" clichés:

Gunpoint review, sarcastic review, the "the world is ending so you must review this movie" episode etc.

why do all collab reviews feel the same

"anyway, let's get on with the review-"
"NOT SO FAST."
"WHOA!!! EpicDude32?!?! what are YOU doing here???"

Quoting a tweet referring to a trope in review videos in general that I hate.

Ha, this one in particular Phelous makes a joke of, reading that last line exactly like that in all his crossovers, read exactly like that to the point you can feel the sarcasm.

reaction comedies

Don't know what i mean? Think about it, in the lowest kind of content know as youtube reaction videos has a annoying guy with a annoying voice reacting live, screaming overeating commentary over a video that should be funny on it's own

But what people miss about this subject, is that american comedy in movies became pretty much this over the years. The comedians don't do puns over the situation, they don't do anything funny, they just experience what's happening in the plot like someone dying, someone farting or anything shocking happening and then make a very forced fast paced commentary full of slurs and screaming about it in a very fast paced rhythm

This is why we put stand up and improve comedians in movies, if something happened in the plot, they should make JOKES about it. This is why i don't have a problem with Let's Plays and Rifftrax comedy, it's funny if you can come up with something funny about it.
