About

The term Big Lipped Alligator Moment refers to a scene that comes out of nowhere; is way over the top; makes no sense; has no connection to the plot; and, once it's over, never mentioned again.

Origin

"Big Lipped Alligator Moment" was first mentioned in the Nostalgia Critic's duo review of the movie FernGully: The Last Rainforest with the Nostalgia Chick. During the review they came across the below musical number, and the Chick coined the title, referring to the 1989 film All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Impact

Mentioning Big Lipped Alligator moments has since become a reccuring joke on The Nostalgia Critic, and has even managed to find popularity outside of the show.
