It is an adventure-comedy about [[The Nostalgia Critic]], like [[Kickassia|last time]], gathering a ton of reviewers and leading them into going on a quest. But this time, it is for a legendary gauntlet that is hidden somewhere in suburban Illinois, and according to the map, they must all dress up as famous fictional characters in order to find it.<ref>[[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Not LARPing, though. That's something completely different that only dorks do. That's totally not what this is.]]</ref> Real villains start showing up to stop their plans, and they discover that [[And You Thought It Was a Game|this isn't so much a "game" as they had first assumed!]]

== A-H ==

* [[Abandoned Playground]]: "A worthy place to call our battlefield!" Though it turns out to be not quite abandoned, as a mother comes with her daughter.

'''Everyone else''': '''''SHUT UP!!!''''' }}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]:

*** Averted, one line she speaks is English and is [[Waxing Lyrical|a lyric from]] "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies.

*** She misquotes the BNL line (Chikiti China, not Chikiti Chinese), though. And at another point, she utters "who's your daddy" over and over real fast.

*** And no one besides Film Brain and Luke are happy when The Critic tricks them into going to Chicago.

*** [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] has a cameo in both to provide exposition and does not take part in the actual filming, although {{spoiler|he does get to voice the ball of light during the fight at the end}}.

** The Nostalgia Critic again brings up Chick-fil-A's policy of being closed on Sundays.

** Spoony brings two characters of his ''[[Ultima]]'' reviews (Gandalf and the Gate Cleaner).

* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: When the Critic's group tries to call Spoony's group in episode 5, they find they can't get a connection. Obscurus Lupa and Linkara suggests that someone may be using magic to block the call.

* [[Care Bear Stare]] /ThePowerOfFriendship: {{spoiler|As Malachite and Ma-Ti get stuck in their [[Beam-O-War]], the whole team starts cheering and chanting "HEART!". It really pushes Ma-Ti forward.}}

* [[The Cavalry]]: Team 2 arrives in the middle of Team 1's battle and they back them up.

* [[Cerebus Callback]]: A miserable Critic wanders home and sees that Ma-Ti still got him his coffee.

* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu|Do Not Taunt the Good Witch of the Woods]]

* [[Don't Go in The Woods]]: Who knew the woods and bike trails of Chicago suburbia were so dangerous?

'''Others:''' SHUT UP! }}

* [[Dope Slap]]:

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: The Cloaks.

* [[Expy]]: GNN newscaster Larry Prince in the "EPICNESS!!!!" video is one of Lori Prince, one of Doug Walker's past sketch characters, who himself is an [[Expy]] of Larry King.

* [[Eye Poke]]: During the first fight against the Cloaks, Brad pokes a Cloak in the eyes and runs away.

* [[Fan Service]]:

** Linkara reveals that in one of his reviews {{spoiler|he sings [[Grief Song|Ma-Ti's song.]]}}

* [[Foe Yay]]: Film Brain and Luke Mochrie. Despite having spent the previous three parts fighting over the Critic's affections, they spend a significant portion of Part 4 holding hands. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Doing so to speak to a mystical stone phantom, perhaps, but holding hands nonetheless.]] After Part 5, they start getting along.

* [[The Fun in Funeral]]: Leave it to the good folks at [[Channel Awesome]] to inject a little bit of humor into something as depressing as {{spoiler|Ma-Ti}}'s death. {{spoiler|Ma-Ti is cremated by Todd and his ashes are poured into an Quaker Oats oatmeal canister (8-Bit Mickey comments that they should've used a Pop-Tarts box instead), and Tom chucks the thing god-knows-where while Paw plays "Amazing Grace" on the kazoo.}}

* [[Funny Background Event]]: When Crom is talking to Benzaie in Part 6, both Critic and Jaffers chase each other with the latter's sword, while Phelous fights a Cloak's sword barehanded.

* [[Magikarp Power]]: {{spoiler|Ma-Ti, even though it's really just his ring that saves the day.}}

* [[Mama Bear]]: {{spoiler|In Part 3, when Team 2 is battling on a playground, preventing anyone from using it, a mom and her kid show up, and the mom ain't pleased.}}

* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]

* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Film Brain's "pea" analogy in Part 2.

** The end of Part 6. They're victorious and have found the gauntlet, but then everything goes silent and they all get an [[Oh Crap]] look on their faces: {{spoiler|Malachite is right across the road}}.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Critic and Benzaie due to the [[Stripperific]] nature of their costumes and [[Jew Wario]] for playing a [[Memetic Sex God]]. With the weather being the way it was, the former two regretted wearing so little.

* [[Musicalis Interruptus]]: Linkara keeps trying to sing in Part 2, but everybody tells him to knock it off. His efforts in Part 3 go just as well. He's interrupted yet again in Part 7, {{spoiler|but is finally allowed a whole song when he argues that he didn't even get a story arc, though his acting ability may have made up for it}}.

* [[Nakama]]: Out of verse, as always. But even in verse, they become this. They're still assy and snarky, but they stand together and comfort each other when one gets upset or hurt.

** The reviewers know [[The Oner]] is for the trailer and can read the on-screen subtitles to understand Arwen!Nostalgia Chick. [[Channel Awesome|But then this is pretty much status quo for them]]. Oddly enough they can't seem to read San!MarzGurl's subtitles, but then again, they did have to be ''told'' to read the subtitles by the Nostalgia Chick.

** Arwen!Chick distracts Cat with a... montage? How does that work?

*** And in Part 7, it's pretty much lampshaded by the reviewers that it really does [[Confusion Fu|nothing but confuse people.]]

** At the end of Part 7, Linkara complains that he didn't get a song ''or'' a character arc.

** Spoony losing and promptly running back to retrieve his hat. Seemingly ended as of Part 3, abandoning it after being blasted off during his [[You Shall Not Pass]] attempt.

*** The running gag wasn't even intentional. Spoony just, genuinely, and unscriptedly, kept losing his hat, realising it was gone and going back to get it. They just decided to keep it in the final product. That doesn't stop it from being hilarious, though.

** Linkara trying to get everyone else to sing with him.

** The Critic saying how there's no such thing as magic and Linkara getting pissed off.

* [[Snipe Hunt]]: How the Critic keeps stopping Ma-Ti from joining them, ranging from protecting non-existent children and elderly to finding goat porn.

** Lampshaded in Part 5, along with [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]].

* [[Special Effects Failure]]: "Cat" is obviously a puppet. {{spoiler|Justified when Cat turns out to be a ''in-universe'' puppet.}}

** Jaffers and the Cloaks had some awfully wobbly swords for their supposed lethality. Just sayin'.

* [[Where It All Began]]: {{spoiler|Malachite's Hand is actually buried in the exact field where the team started their quest, inside the [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Storm Drain of Secrets]]}}.

* [[Wimp Fight]]: Everyone {{spoiler|with the exception of Malachite.}}

* [[Worst News Judgment Ever]]: On the GNN broadcast, the disappearance of a game store clerk receives higher billing than an assassination attempt against the president.

{{quote|'''Lary Prince:''' Sad. [''takes off glasses''] Very very sad. And now, [''puts glasses back on''] on a lighter note, the president has been shot...}}
