KISS comics

• Kiss comics review - The title card. Seeing the cast of the show dressed like KISS is just hysterical.
  • The kid in the comic mentions wanting a Nirvana reunion:

Linkara: Now you've done it. 90's Kid: Duuuuude! They should totally do a Nirvana reunion! They could dig up Kurt Cobain's corpse and then prop it up on stage and have some zombie chicks use it like a puppet! Linkara: (Beat) There is something seriously wrong with you!

• • The Running Gag with Todd in the Shadows uncontrolably laughing at Linkara's proposition to do a KISS comics crossover review. Which culminates when Todd stops laughing and agrees to do it... when Linkara is done reviewing both of them.
    • The implication that Todd was laughing in the background for the entire review.
  • "Yeah! Because I prefer the parents of the girl I'm sweet on to be flaming homosexuals!"
  • "Password?" "Let me in you idiot!"

Superman and Wonder Woman: Tandy Computer Whiz Kids

• From his Superman and Wonder Woman: Tandy Computer Whiz Kids:
  • BUY IT NOW OR SUPERMAN DIES!!!
  • Captain Picard's double Face Palm.
  • Linkara's reaction to the nickname Wonder Woman gives to Alec and Shanna.

"Yes! Bow down before The Computer Masters of Metropolis! Mwahahahaha!"

• • "...And, while the Whiz Kids were discussing what to do, the train crashed, killing dozens of people"
• "If this turns into a Doom LAN party, I will take back every negative thing I ever said about this series."

Spawn #1

• From his Spawn review:
  • "Somewhere in time" *cue Doctor Who opening*
  • "That gecko LIED TO ME! GEICO wasn't any better!"
  • *Spawn's internal monologue having box saying "He betrayed me" next to panel with human skull.* Linkara: "Damn you, Skeletor!!"
  • "Next: The Violator!" *cue to Linkara's horrifiend and disgusted face."

X-Force #1

• '90s Kid wanting to be buried in a polybag with a trading card.
• His impression of Cable:

"EVERYBODY OUT OF THE DEEP ENNNNNDDD!"

• His reaction to some people planning an assault on the World Trade Center.

Backstreet Project #1

• Hearing Weird Al Yankovic singing "eBay," when one was expecting the Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way."
• After the subtly-named "Empress Sinista" declares her intentions to Take Over the World, flash cut to:

Rita Repulsa: Aaaaah! After ten thousand years I'm free! Time to conquer earth!

April Fool's Day 2011 Triple Feature

• Bear reviews One More Day... in complete silence.

Linkara: (Looks between bear and the camera) It's a bear!

• Second video amounts to this: Theme song. Linkara: "It sucks!" Credits.
  • The credits list a bunch of clip sources, which were, of course, not used. Extra funny? One of the sources is "Scorpion Rain," the infamous Power Rangers fan film/hoax. Which was never completed. Double Extra Funny? Linkara also included Vogon Jeltz's poem.
    • Most of the rest of the sources are lost films.
• The entirety of his third April Fool's Day 2011 video, parodying The Irate Gamer. It was, in a word, perfect.
  • "It doesn't matter how awesome a concept [Beta Ray Bill] is, or how good the stories are, because I'm irate and therefore never wrong."
  • "Not like me though! I am good grammar and spelling! Because as you know it takes a very long time to make these videos! I mean, it just takes forever to read a comic book, and scan in pages, and then I add special effects! [Big picture of a banana drops in] This took me three weeks alone!"
  • "I read comic books while I'm eating a tasty bowl of Yummy Mummy and drinking Kool-Aid, and now I have to look at bugs?! Breakfast is ruined!
  • At one point he talks about how Power Rangers Samurai only came out on Disney while showing the Nickelodeon logo.
    • Related to that, stating that Power Rangers debuted on Kids' WB while showing the Fox Kids logo.
  • At one point he complains about how one page is flipped upside down. One guess as to why this is funny.
  • The montage. Shaking the comic, reading it upside down, reading different comics, it is genius.
  • "Look how long it takes me to turn the page!" and he proceeds to flip the page with the footage being slowed down. Also a great Take That to IG's Super Mario Bros. 2 review, were he complained the star is too slow. Not only did he do it in the area where it would naturally take the most time, but he actually slowed down the footage.

All-Star Batman and Robin #3-4

• Linkara spends a good part of the video simply staring at the comic in horror. It gets funnier every time.
  • Of course, nothing can top the infamous line: "I touched my mother's breast. It bled on me." At that point, Crazy Steve and Linkara had both snapped, and it shows.
    • The immediate reaction from Linkara: "Captain Picard! I need you again!"
    • "Thank you!"
    • And shortly after that we read twelve year old Dick's narration box: "Those bigass FINGERS of his SQUEEZE like a gentle CARESS."

Linkara: Oh my god?! Dick wants to be molested as much as Steve wants to do it! I think I'm gonna be sick..."

• The upbeat delivery of "I call him Steve!"
• This gem:

Dick Grayson, age twelve: Batman's completely nuts. Linkara: NOOOOOOOO. WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEAAAH?

• The titlecard itself, with Linkara as Dick Grayson, age twelve, and Batman having Pedobear's face.
• "Now we know Frank doesn't get Batman anymore! Batman hates rock and roll!"
• In response to Linkara's reaction to Black Canary being an Irish ninja a number of Irish (and people of Irish-descent) explain that all people with Irish blood are ninjas. How varies (one says they learn it in school instead of anything else and another says its genetic) but they're all ninjas.
• *Pizzicato Playtime starts up* "Saay... My watch broke!" The look on his face is priceless. He is so satisfied by the prospect of No More Miller Time that it's hilarious.
• "What, no interludes with The Flash, who in this I'm sure is a drug-crazed extortionist? No checking in with Green Lantern, who is no doubt a KKK member who devours the hearts of young girls after molesting them?!"

Lady Gaga #1

• His reaction to seeing the main character sleeping on a couch.

Linkara: Who wants to see an overweight jerk in a hat sitting in a green chair, making rude comments about other people's work and I think I'll shut up now!

• His reaction to seeing the main character dreaming about Lady Gaga, reenacting the intro to 'Paparazzi':

Linkara: Now, you see right here that I'm only zoomed in on him dreaming of something and him drooling. That'd be unattractive enough, but now let's take a gander at what he's dreaming about, shall we? (Zooms in on first of three panels.) Linkara: First up, he appears to be making out with Lady Gaga. Okay, fair enough; dreaming about making out with an attractive celebrity. It's not all that attractive considering what we've seen of this guy... (Pans over to second panel) Linkara: ...but nothing too--what the hell?! Is he pushing over the ledge?! What the hell are we supposed to take from this-- (Pans over to the third panel, of the "hero's" head on Lady Gaga's body.) Linkara: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! (Linkara is seen holding the comic and shaking in abject panic for several moments.) Linkara: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-- (Cut to Relax-O-Vision-esque music with a We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties card featuring a drunken cameraman) (A clearly disturbed Linkara takes several more moments to collect himself before continuing his review. But when he picks up the comic again...) Linkara: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-- (Back to the aformentioned Technical Difficulties card)

• Slightly later: "This is the stuff of serial killers, people!"
• The intro, where instead of announcing the usual 'welcome' statement, he stares at the camera with a '...what the flipping hell?' look.
  • "What the hell is this? (Beat) No, seriously. What in the hell is this thing?!"
• "To every GLBTQ individual in the entire world, I apologize for this comic."
• "Hey, Norman Bates called; he said you're really kind of a weirdo."
• The Take That against Justin Bieber.
• "And now it's time for another right turn into WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN--."
• Spoony starts mocking Linkara for liking Nickelback. Linkara pulls out a remote, presses a button and Spoony's room shakes. Says Linkara, "I HAVE A SPACESHIP!"

Linkara: That reminds me, I really need to name the thing. ...Next week!

• "Todd in the Shadows, 40 years later!"
• The return of "EVERYTHING WAS BETTER ON MY EARTH!!!"
• "My husband, the most creative soul in the universe." "... you live in a pretty tiny universe, lady."
• "Seriously, are there any other main characters available that we can have? This one's defective!"

Star Trek: The Motion Picture

• Linkara is attempting to christen his now-named vessel. The champagne bottle will not break open.

Linkara: Break damn you!

• • A bit of Fridge Horror or Funny Aneurysm Moment when you realize that the champagne bottle failing to break is not a good omen in nautical folklore.
• The reenactment of the trippy, slow-motion wormhole scene from the movie.
• "I am a huge Star Trek fan." *Looks down at his Starfleet uniform* "Duh."
• "Great, it was the Decepticons that got their hands on V-Ger."
  • Before, following Spock saying V'Ger comes from a planet of living machines with the original Transformers opening.
• Aha, so V-Ger was behind the evil that is ancient Egypt!
• "Wait, did I leave the oven on before I left? Oh crap..."

The Godyssey #1

• Him not sure about being offended or awed by the very idea of the comic, eventually settiling on calling Jesus "Hey-sus" (the Spanish pronounciaion, a fairly common name). The Christian Martial Artist.
• JÉSUS WINS! THEOLOGY
• A news report about the Enitity disappearing various building...and Linkara's too busy reading to notice.
  • Yes but he was noticabley reading the book from Silent Hill that contains that ominus poem about The Entity.... but the fact he was ignoring infor about the same thing he was reading about makes it funny again.
  • The report is on Lori Prince Live, and as usual, he gets a call from the Joker.

Superman Meets the Quik Bunny

• Linkara's Willing Suspension of Disbelief is broken when the kids are able to turn their clubhouse into a helicopter.
• Fridge Logic kicking in when the comic asks the reader to solve a maze involving Superman and buildings, showing the shortest route is a straight line.
• The credits gag, where Linkara claims the Quik Bunny was in cahoots with the Weather Wizard and escaped with the cash, but is now being pursued by Jèsus, Christian Martial Artist!

Ultimate Warrior's Workout

• Linkara Lampshading how Dr. Insano hasn't been seen on the show for quite some time:

Insano: I know we're archenemies and all... Linkara: Yeah, but you've been rather quiet lately.

• Linkara's rather nonchalant and unsurprised reaction to seeing his future self return from Chicago.
• Hell, the entire damn comic is just solid gold WTF-ery, especially if you go to the gym at all.

Ultimatum #1-2

• Linkara's response to a whale crashing in the Fantastic Four's HQ and The Thing shouting "What the **** is going on?!"

"Oh I think we all know what's going on: the Ultimate Warrior decided he could fight the pounding of the ocean, and this is just the ocean fighting back!"

• "Hulk help Spider-Man! Then Hulk smash Spider-Man!" Beat "It kind of funny that way!"
• The return of Iron Drunk.
• While going on a You Fail Physics Forever rant, this particular line had me in stitches- "And yes, we know how magnets work, Insane Clown Posse."
  • That same rant, his Punctuated! For! Emphasis! outburst was hilarious, because it's as close to cussing as he tends to get. That and the face he makes compliments the sudden shift in tone.

"'But wait!' people are asking. This is Comic Books. Surely Suspension of Disbelief should kick in for this sort of thing, right? NO DAMMIT!"

• Linkara's reaction to Thor charging into an army of the dead screaming "For Valkyrie!"

[guitar riff] "Woah sorry 'bout that, the comic suddenly just go positively metal for a second there!"

Ultimatum #3-4

• In response to Hank Pym thinking he can bring The Wasp back to life:

Linkara: Our heroes are crazy, our villains are crazy... HEY, LET'S ALL JUST GO CRAZY!!! (starts dancing/flailing to "Fun Zone")

• His fanboyesque gushing over how dying 'only made Captain America cooler'.
• When Dr. Doom, Reed Richards, Zarda and Arcana find Nick Fury, and he asks them why he needs to come help them right now, Richards states (in defiance of the previous explanation for the disaster) "Magneto has shifted Earth's axis." Linkara snaps.

"BULL! CRAP! THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU SAID LAST TIME! YOU SAID MAGNETIC POLES! THE MAGNETIC POLES ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE AXIAL POLES! Axial pole shift also occurs naturally, although very, VERY slowly! It's caused by the distribution of mass throughout the Earth, and at best alters about ONE DEGREE every 130 MILLION YEARS! If that had been your explanation from the start, yeah that'd cause serious problems, but you didn't! You said magnetic poles! Oh, and guess what? THE AXIAL POLES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MAGNETISM! YOU FAIL AT SCIENCE, COMIC! YOU! FAAAAAAAIL!!!"

• After an amazingly convoluted and implausible Gambit Roulette from Dr. Doom:

"This...this has gotta be a doombot."

• Capping every time Captain America (comics) does something Badass with the "America! FUCK YEAH!" refrain from the Team America: World Police theme song.

Ultimatum #5

• "Then we find out who was really behind it all... GRANNY GOODNESS! (Dramatic music plays)
  • "No, actually, it was Quicksilver." (Dramatic music plays again; Linkara cuts it off) "Shut up, I'm not going do the "Dun dun DUUUUN!" again."
• Dr. Doom's reaction to the cloaked figure entering the door. "How did you get in here?"
  • Linkara:"....Uh, the door. He came through the door. You see that door? Yeah, he came through that door."

Sci-Spy #2

• His realization that Starchild is nearly exactly like Batman:

Linkara: Even when he (Moench) is not writing about Batman, he's still writing about Batman!

• Linkara's interpretation of the beginning of the comic:

Assassin: Guess what, Starchild? You're dead! Ah, dammit, that was terrible! Here, give me a second and I'll think of a better line. camera cuts to dead Starchild* Assassin: Ah, nuts. Next time I gotta have something better planned.

Spawn/Batman

• His imitation of Batman once he tells Spawn to not touch his cape.

Batman: I just washed this cape, you meanie-head! NOBODY TOUCHES MY CAPE BUT ME!

• • and later, after the end credits:

Batman: Alfred! That stupid wiener-face got my cape dirty!

• When Batman mentions that the glove is pulsing with power:

Linkara: (in his Batman voice) I love the Power Glove. It's so bad.

• • Also his other Shout Outs to Dune and Schlock Mercenary.
• Linkara's revelation regarding the comic's narrative boxes:

Linkara: "If Batman is supposed to be narrating all of this -- including the parts about him in the third person -- he comes across as a crazy person listening to the voices in his head. Okay, I think I just answered my own question there, never mind..."

• "Batman. Protector. Avenger. Detective. Champion. Goddamn."
• When the one-dimensional villain shows up, and the narration is talking about how she's a humanitarian:

Linkara: (Bored) Villain. She's the villain.

• • And later:

Linkara: You mean that the humanitarian woman was... (distorted voice) EEEEVIL? (Scare Chord)

• Throughout the review, he refers to the villain as "Evil Humanitarian Woman."
• In response to Foe Yay laden trash talking between Batman and Spawn:

'Oh, shut up and just start making out already.'

• Linkara seemed to really be in the Foe Yay spirit in this review:

'You know, Frank, the more you try to convince me that Batman's better than Superman, the more it makes me think that he's just some jealous fourteen year old... And maybe possibly that he's in love with him. (Drinks)

Gameboy #1

• "So... here's a weird thought: These two are really the first Digidestined, and the Gameboy is their Digivice."
• That '90s Kid fails karaoke night forever.
  • (IN the middle of Harvey and Pollo singing "Wind Beneath My Wings") ROCK ON!(throws up horns while Harvey and Pollo look at him funny... well Harvey anyway). One of the show's best moments by far.
• Linkara's Mario impression.
• "My poor, insane son."

Eminem Meets The Punisher

• Rap Critic's cameo.

Rap Critic: "Oh yeah, and Todd in the Shadows left a message for me. (takes a crumpled piece of paper out) NEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRDD.

• Linkara's attempts at Jive Turkey.
• After the credits:

Eminem: Um, hello? Anyone?

• "We're gathered here today to say farewell to our friend, our colleague, and our beloved Eminem. As per his final wishes, we will now play music that he requested to be played at his funeral." (cue a snippet of the opening theme song for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic)
• The comic was only ever available online, and as such, no physical copies exist. However, force of habit has Linkara doing this:

Linkara: (does his usual holding up the comic gesture with nothing in his hands) So let's dig into Eminem Meets The Punisher! (looks down at the empty space between his hands) Don't worry, I'll explain after the theme song.

Barbi Twins Adventures #1

• The Beast Wars reference. Yes...
• Someone in the comic says "They'll be Barbicued" and then a clip from one of Robot Chicken's 300 parodies is shown.

"THIS. ISN'T. FUNNY!"

• • I just like Linkara's "...really?" expresion before the clip plays.
• "In retrospect, lacing the makeup with nitroglycerin was not my smartest move."
• "This has been a test of the 'Desperate for Anything Resembling a Joke' System. Had this been an actual joke you may have actually laughed."
• As it appears the protagonists are going to die:

Dr. Cox: Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to present "Man Not Caring".

• "We'll have to defeat them using our willpower!"

Linkara: You're not Green Lanterns!

• When he points out that cover says it's a "First Collector's Item Issue", we get:

Linkara: "Got it for $2.25 at my local comicbook store incase you're curious. I was over-charged by about twenty-bucks."

• Just before saying "This comic sucks!"

Linkara: This is a comic book that forces us to ask questions. Namely, there are three questions that I want answered. Avery Brooks: Why? Why? Why?

Rise of Arsenal #1 and #2

• The opening, with him having just read the comic and reacting to it. What's really hilarious is that he fakes us out on it; he puts his face in his hands and starts what you think is crying because of how bad the comic is...and then reveals that he's really laughing histerically because of how unintentionally funny it is.
• "Arm go in, arm come out. Arm go in, arm come out."
• His reaction to everybody (save Roy Harper) attending Lian's funeral in costume.

Say, how can we ruin the somber, serious attitude of a child's funeral? How about everybody dresses up in bright, flashy primary colours? There's something wrong when Batman is the most appropriately dressed for a funeral!

Rise of Arsenal #3 and #4

• The "Previously On..." segment...where to start?
  • Diamanda Hagan is apparently pregnant with Obscurus Lupas child.

Diamanda: But how? She's a wolf, and I'm a robot! Minion: You're not a robot! You're fictional!" Diamanda: *makes :O face*

• • Oancitizen walk around doing nothing but spouting complicated references to things. Also, he's the new Prior Walter.
    • The overly-detailed conspiracy theories appear to be a reference to the Umberto Eco novel Foucault's Pendulum, judging by his reference to that very object in his first clip.
  • The epic battle between Suede's two costume concepts.
  • "Stickboy, these readings indicate that it's mathematically impossible for me to give less of a crap." *musical sting*
  • "Who's the father?!?"
• Lian Harper is now ZOMBIE GOASTS!
  • At the end, Roy Harper "blew up the house and killed the zombie goasts so they were at piece."
• This line:

Arsenal: Got any china cat? Linkara: I've got a porcelain bunny, does that help?

Comic Book Advertisements

• "I WILL BURY YOU!!!!"
• Linkara not only anticipating Douchey McNitpick's appearance, but then confusing him when he admits to ripping off the Nostalgia Critic, and then hits him with the Comicron 1.
• "No...Noooo! The TurboGrafx-16 is taking over my braaaaaaaaaaaain! *head explodes*
• "Only Hostess cupcakes are worth living and dying for!"

Star Trek #2

• The Mirror Universe style opening credits, set to the awesome Mirror!Star Trek: Enterprise theme!
• Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn, AND SOON YOU WILL ALL OBEY ME!
• Mirror Rob Liefeld is a great writer and artist whose Schedule Slip is only a month at most.
• Mirror Linkara singing "Phenomenom" to the tune of "Mahna Mahna".
• When Iron Liz tells Linkara what his Mirror Universe counterpart was like, she lists various flaws that sound like they could be describing the real Linkara, before mentioning that the review was pretty much the same as the one he did:

Linkara: So, other than the review, this other universe counterpart was absolutely nothing like me. Iron Liz: Riiiiight. (Beat) Linkara: I'm not sure, but I think I was just insulted... Pollo: I'm sure.

• • Which is taken straight from "Mirror, Mirror" itself.
• How did Linkara know that the other Iron Liz wasn't the real one? Her favorite edition of Dungeons & Dragons was the 4th one.
• The blooper at the end. "Phaser fail."

Captain America and the Return of the Asthma Monster

• "His aller-gun triggered an asthma attack. Only one chance. Children, you know what to do."

Linkara: Right, Captain America! *pulls out gun and opens fire*

• Linkaras reaction to the comics ending.

Linkara: NO. No! No! NO!

• The kids being upset that Cap took all the credit for defeating the Asthma Monster last time.
• His reaction to the line, "Cap, the rug... it's talking."

Linkara: (as Ruth) What the heck is in this inhaler, anyway?

NBComics#1

• When Nick McClary pulls out his "magic glove":

Linkara: "Kid, don't bother with a magic glove, you'll just end up with a dead planeteer.

• His reaction to an Incredibly Lame Pun.

Nick McClary: Sure beats being Home Alone! Linkara: Ha...ha...ha. *stares at the camera for several seconds*

• Linkara points out how many spinoff shows seem to involve detective agencies, resulting in Makeover Fairy: PI.
• He spends much of the review in utter disbelief and horror at the sheer idiocy. It gets funnier every time it cuts to his face.
• "And so we get our first good glimpse at the Pro Stars and GOOD GOD WHAT THE HELL IS THIS I DON'T EVEN!"
  • "LASER BAT?"
• At the end of the review, he pulls out a magic glove and wishes it didn't exist. It works... but it turns it into what may be a parody of both Power Rangers and The Dark Age Of Comic Books. One person who left a comment on the video wondered if that comic was actually real. Considering that, after it appears, he says, "Tune in next week for my... 150th... episode..." it might be... which makes it even funnier.
  • No "might be" about it. It exists. ^{[dead link]} For real.
• During his review of the Saved by the Bell comic...

Girl in comic: You'll never catch us jumping around and yelling for a bunch of dumb jocks! Girl #2: No way! Linkara: And insert your own Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls joke here.

Mightily Murdered Power Ringers #1

• "Mighty Methane Power Ranges. No, you're not high right now. This is really happening."
• Linkara going nuts after "Guy In Plastic Tube" trying to cover up Awful-9 saying that the Scarlet, Black and Golden/Yellow Ringers were torn to pieces by saying that the missing Ringers went to a peace conference.

Lord Zedd: I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT BOBBLE HEAD SAID THAT! Linkara: TIME FOR BACKSTORY!

• After the comic becomes sentient:

Linkara: Come on, really? We already did the sentient comic thing way back in Star Trek #1!

• When Linkara was pointing out that the Megazord parody has a diaper that say "Mighty Morphin' Huggies", he points out since in-universe the team is called the Power Ringers like the title and that the diaper should say "Mightily Murdered Huggies" instead. In mid-sentence, it cuts back to Linkara.

Linkara (Depressed): Oh my God, I just NOW got the title!

• "Because poor literacy is... completely expected in this
• His increasingly silly names for the villan, Lord ZZZZZ, such as Lord Razzmatazz, Lord Zazzle, Lord Pazuzu, and the culminaion, Lord Zelarackanickanackafivecrackashishkoombah.

Kamandi at Earth's End #1

• Linkara's attempt at burning the real Superman at Earth's End comic.

Linkara And so, I will give you the burning you so rightly deserve. (Uses the torch on the book only for it to not catch aflame.) At least I would if this thing weren't made of some kind of indestructible material. [Cut to:] Linkara I have returned. And placed a newspaper inside the comic! It will burn now. [pause] Hopefully. [Torch: does not ignite] Text added later: Footage sped up 4x in order to get to the part where burning occurs.

• "Our duty is to find the cause of the second apocalypse." "Our only clue is this: DC relaunch coming September 2011"
• 90's Kid's cameos. (Note: Following quotes are paraphrased)

Linkara: Who thought it would be a good idea to give Kamandi improbably sized guns? 90's Kid: (cue Nirvana) Duuuuuuuuude! Linkara: Of course.

• • And later:

Linkara: What fans were actually writing letters clamoring for this kind of thing? 90's Kid: (Disbelief) Dude! Linkara: Besides him, I mean.

• "I've been training my whole life for this! I even learned to punch real hard while shouting that I'm a man!"
• His conclusion about Kamadi's version of Canada. May count as Crowning Moment of Awesome for Canadian viewers.

Kamani: Mother says Canada is a night zone now! Linkara: Canada would later be renamed "Casino" and thus "Casino Night Zone" in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was born.

• • Also, this bit:

Linkara: Ah, yes, the Amero-Canadian War. I'm still not on speaking terms with Phelous. Phelous: What? That's not true,I just appeared on your show last week! Linkara: Shut up, Phelous.

US-1 #2

• Linkara's reaction to Midnight's Asskicking Pose.
• After a trucker claims to be the baddest of all of them:

Linkara: Are you a bad enough trucker to rescue the President? (smiles) Yeah, I know I keep using that joke, but the comics keep presenting it to me.

• His analysis of some bizarre artwork during the bar fight that looks like a Hot Pocket being flung from a man's crotch.
• The Stinger, parodying The Six Million-Dollar Man, culminating in:

Linkara: Better. Radioer. Truckier.

• Linkara's reaction to US-1 claiming he can use his fillings to switch between different radio frequencies with the plate in his head.

Linkara: (Pretending to switch stations via his fillings. Music starts playing) I love this song! (Jams out to the tune)

The Twilight Zone #9

• Linkara as Rod Sterling, concerning a robot spider shooting lazers:

"Submitted for your approval: giant robotic spiders with lazers attached to them... (stares at his cigarette) what the hell is in this thing, anyway?"

• The Birdemic reference in the diner.
  • Subsequently, the Rifftrax joke when Jenkings is looking for Darlene in the alley:

Mike: I was looking at you in the restsurant, SO PRETTY!

• Linkara as Boffo, in a clown nose and rainbow wig, squeaking a bicycle horn, all with a solemn, dignified expression.
  • Yeah, that was funny... Until...
    • And then it circles back around into being funny. "He's probably just on break."
• A meta one: considering that this is a Twilight Zone comic review, Linkara naturally uses "Jump Around" for the credits.

Superman and the TRS-80 Wiz Kids

• Finding that the opening narration is more Twilight Zone-esque than the actual Twilight Zone comic, a Rod Sterling voice, submission for approval, and closing sentence completing the association.
• His "recap" of the previous two Wiz Kids videos:

Watch the other two reviews. This is a long comic and it's not like the other two videos are hard to find.

• Linkara saying that only one person was affected by the supercomputers being disabled cutting to-

Crow: I WANNA GET ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY! I WANNA GET ON THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY!

Street Fighter #1 (Malibu Comics)

• He uses a Sylvester Stallone voice for Sagat... and keeps using it even after Sagat insults boxing.
• When Ken (who is filming an advertisement) uses the move "Dragon Punch!":

Linkara: Enjoy "Dragon Punch" energy drink! (shows picture of an energy drink called "Street Fighter Dragon Punch") [[[Beat]]] Yes, this thing exists.

• Reading all of Ken's lines as a douchey, arrogant celebrity.
• "Now, you are like this tree: Infested with wood ticks!"

Silent Hill: Paint It Black

• He spends much of the review spouting Angrish about how nothing about the story makes sense.
  • When a minor character by the name of Joe shows up near the beginning and calls out Ike on his laziness and douchebaggery, Linkara doesn't even bother changing his voice for him. He just reads Joe's dialogue in his actual voice, most likely because it's exactly what he wants to say to the guy.
  • His affection for Joe in general is just hilarious. "I miss Joe!"
• Linkara using his usual "This comic sucks" catchphrase but dragging out the "sucks" part to show how bad it is.
• Linkara emphasizing the "w" when saying this bit of dialogue:

Cheryl: Asses and elbows, ladies! Move it! Work it! NOWWWWWWW!

• Meta Example. In Silent Hill: Paint It Black, we see in the stinger that Spoony for eaten/deleted by the entity. THE SAME DAY later, Spoony himself posted a quick VLOG about him getting a puppy.

Silent Hill: Among the Damned

• For some reason, Dahlia's light southern accent is absolutely hilarious, especially when she's saying things like 'worship me.'
• "...So you're saying you don't want the coupon?"
• "Now let's talk about Amway! *cocks gun*
• "It's not pink, it's lightish red."
• "I am Goofia, Queen of the Headtwigs!"

Warrior #4

• This line

Insano: Anymore questions? Linkara: Why aren't you wearing any pants!? Insano: That's not important right now.

• After not-caring the hypertime-destroying Destrucity away, Linkara, Spoony, and Dr. Insano become Gray Lanterns (Who have the ability of not giving a shit about anything.) Dr. Insano suggests maybe watching TNA Impact, and Linkara and Spoony, who before had been taking everything with indifference, both insistently decline and walk out of the room
• Also, from the out-take, Spoony's doing his Black Lantern Spoony routine when Oreo climbs onto his lap. Spoony looks down, and without changing the effect done to his voice, says "Hi doggie."
• Iron Sheik Spoony.
  • "Fak de fakin Altimite Wariar!"
• This little exchange:

Doctor Insano: Right. I suppose you're all wondering why I'm here. Linkara: Every day of my life. Dr. Insano: You know, you're a very negative person and I don't like you. Spoony: You stole $40 out of my wallet and left a dead blitzball player in my bathtub. Dr. Insano: Ah! But he's still there, isn't he? Spoony: He's dead! Dr. Insano: Yes, but now he's dead and not moving. You're welcome!

• The Birdemic parody, complete with obviously animated birds.
• Black Lantern Spoony's cameo when the Ultimate Warrior rips out a guy's heart: "He dare to steal my gimmick? This comic offends me."
  • Followed by an appearance from Black Lantern 90s Kid.
• As Dr. Insano says they must use Spoony's "completely sad and lame knowledge of pro-wrestling" and Linkara's "funny book crap" to save the multiverse, he points to the opposite critic of each description.
• Benzaie with Beary's head.
• Spoony's rebuttal of Warrior's philosophical crap about the view from windows by saying that his own window looks out at a wall, complete with a photo.
• Angry Joe and Jew Wario's pained reactions to a bad use of Alliteration.

Angry Joe: Did the Warrior just find the thesaurus function in Microsoft Word? Jew Wario: I'd make my own alliterate joke, but the Warrior just killed alliteration for all time!

• Doctor Insuedeo
• Linkara in Green Ranger suit, all silent and backhanding Spoony on Cool Shades when he rambles a bit too much. All while not talking. And when Spoony says "Thanks, I needed that", he gives a thumbs up.
• The reality where Spoony and Linkara are effeminate attention seekers with German accents. Turned into a great Brick Joke.

Silent Hill: The Grinning Man

• Holo-Linkara's fake death moan when he get's stabbed by Pyramid Head, culminating in a deadpan 'Blarg'
• His scathing rant on how pointless the villains are. Actually, any of his rants in this episode are hilarious.
• 90's Kid gets a phaser rifle and starts shooting everywhere while yelling "DUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDEEEEE!", not even hitting a single target.

Iron Liz: Nice shootin', Tex. 90s Kid: I Meant to Do That... Iron Liz: The air's not attacking us. 90s Kid: I think the sight on this is broken...

• Linkara's mid-battle conversation with Holo-Linkara.
• Holo-Linkara pointing out that Silent Hill tried to kill Linkara both previous times he reviewed the comics. "Did you think he wouldn't notice the pattern?"
• Sad Panda and Benzaie's discussion right before disappearing is both Nightmare Fuel and Crowning Moment of Funny at the same time.

Sad Panda: Well motherf--

• Linkara is apparently sick of his apartment turning into a Silent Hill homage every time he reviews a crappy comic about it:

"Okay, boxes, since obviously pushing you out of the way is not going to work- I mean, why WOULD it- you are just going to topple over and go away for me. And if you don't, I'm just going to step over your ashes." *Boxes fall over* "Thank you. I'm glad we could reach an understanding."

• When the Silent Hill fog first rolls in at the beginning of the review, Linkara just blows it away with a portable fan. The way he's so nonchalant about it makes it even funnier.

Spider-Man: Planet of the Symbiotes

• The video opens with Linkara saying his Catch Phrase only to be interrupted by the Entity and pulling out the Magic Gun in response. The way he swings it around is hilarious.
• When the Symbiote begins to Wangst, cue Linkara with a smile on his face, who then begins to play Simple Plan's "Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)".
• During a exhibition where a scientist is showcasing the next step in virtual reality:

Linkara: (in a German scientist accent) Now say it with me: We are VR.

• The Doom Callback

Linkara!Eddie Brock: (in the voice of the Doom Marine) RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! OH CRAP, YOU THINGS DON'T HAVE GUTS! THAT CAN'T BE GOOD!

• At one point the Comic cuts to Scarlet Spider and Venom crashing at the former's apartment drinking beer while the symbiote invasion is on.
  • Linkara: Yea the truth of the matter is that TiVo hadn't been invented yet and they didn't want to miss the super bowl.

Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu

• The ending, where everyone who was captured by the Entity (even those not seen being captured) comes back and lampshades the fact that they were posting videos despite being missing.

Suede: Whoa-ho-ho! What was that? That was different. Ah, dang it, was this whole thing just a Pokémon reference? I love Pokémon, I would've loved doing a cameo. Oh well, I guess there's nothing for it. *He pulls out a Gameboy.* Now where we? Yes, old man, tell me your secrets... and then it's off to Cinnabar.

• Everyone checking to see if 90's Kid is ok and cleared of The Entity possessing him. After asking what happened, he then realizes to his horror his collector's editions of "Bloodgun" are all gone.

Ninja Style Dancer: (holds up a sign) Oh joy, he's back to normal.

• • • Even though he doesn't actually speak, he's still snarky!
  • Hey, let's not forget about 90s Kid singing the lyrics to the "Care-a-lot" song beforehand!
• Playing "Sexy Back" every time Gary Oak makes an appearance.

Linkara: Gary Oak: Rock star of the Pokemon universe.

• Linkara expressing his 10-year-old self's anger when his Missingno experience popped up with a Kabutops skeleton instead of the distorted pixel block we all know Missingno as.
• Harvey's reaction to returning to existence right next to Boffo, who was only introduced after Harvey disappeared.
• His exasperated deconstruction of the Pokémon formula from schools exempting Pokémon trainers to having to take half day course to be liscensed trainers.
• When Ash hears Pikachu from outside, the word bubble has Pikachu make a noise from the wall
  • Amityville Horror... The Electric Tale of Pikachu
• Kind of funny when you realize the Fridge Brilliance: Missingno used Self Destruct.
• One of the first lines of the actual review:

Linkara: I'm recording this right now despite that it's very, very, very unlikely anyone will see this, seeing as I'm the only human still alive.

• • The deadpan way he says it is really funny as well as being Nightmare Fuel...somehow.
• Linkara's concise and deadpan explanation of what Missingno is, how it has somehow become a Eldritch Abomination and how it is currently standing outside his door, followed by Missingno's laugh.

Linkara: Yeah, it's been a bit of a day...

• Just cutting from the title card to Linkara wearing Ash's hat and fingerless gloves is worth a laugh.
• "Ghosts exist! And they have special attacks! And they smile!"

"We are in a deep, theological nightmare, people!"

• This line:

Linkara: Hmm, trying to grab a creature that can shoot out electricity and lightning bolts. I can't see anything going wrong with this plan... *cut to Ash getting electrocuted* Ash Ketchum - that kid who'd always poke at a Hornet's Nest.

• "OH LOOK, TRICORDER!"
  • To elaborate, in the Updated Rerelease of the review, the new stinger shows the Magic Gun back safe and sound, with Pollo asking why Linkara didn't get infinite copies of the gun. Linkara answers that the Magic Gun wasn't in his 6th item slot when he encountered Missingno, and instead got so many tricorders that he was pulling them out of every crevice of his jacket.
• The Entity/Missingno is absolutely terrifying. This makes it all the funnier when Linkara manages to get a Flat What out of it.
• Describing one panel as "Pikachu suddenly becoming the Nyan Cat".

Return of Atop the Fourth Wall LIVE

• The comic features several panels where Linkara is just able to sit back and let the audience's confused/horrified reactions speak for themselves. Probably the best comes from the Hulk's abrupt appearance, where he actually turns to look at the panel as confirmation that it exists while the audience freaks out for fifteen seconds.
  • Particularly when he gets cut off by the audience lauging, such as after being introduced to Japanese Kingpin.
  • Every time the audience simply goes "WHAT?!"
• Mocking Japanese Uncle Ben's Ice Cream Koans. "When you stop at the red light, you truly are going."
  • This one guy yelling in the audience at the beginning of that always makes me laugh:

Random Audience Guy: YOU CREATED A TIME PARADOX!

• • Heck, Random Audience Guy himself gets two more:
    • Upon the appearance of Manga-Hulk: "SENSE, THIS COMIC MAKES NONE!"
    • When Manga-Venom reveals Japanese Uncle Ben is his father, he helps continue Linkara's Luke, I Am Your Father joke.
• When he sees Japanese Peter Parker doing a Skyward Scream:

Linkara: KHHHHAAAAAAANNNN!

• • Then immediately cuts to Peter screaming in the middle of class.

Linkara: But since started screaming in the last page, in this one his just going "EEEEEEEEEIIIII!!!", like he's mourning the Fonz.

• Describing the comic's artist and writer:

Linkara: This comic was written and illustrated by a guy named Kari Andrews, the writer and artist of a comic named Spider-Man: Reign. Audience member: (among a Collective Groan) Oh, god! Linkara: For those unaware, Spider-Man: Reign is essentially The Dark Knight Returns, except Spider-Man instead of Batman. And it's also the story where Mary Jane was killed by Peter Parker's radioactive sperm. (Massive WTF?! reaction from the audience) Linkara: I am not kidding at all.

• Saying that the look of Japanese Uncle Ben makes him think of Rei Hino's grandfather, and how she's probably in the back, practicing her fire chant while Japanese Uncle Ben is being killed by Japanese Venom.

Linkara!Japanese Uncle Ben: Oh god, he's breaking my neck! Linkara!Rei: (falsetto) Busy, grandfather! Ichi, ni, san... (makes hand gestures)

• "I'm just a meme to you people, aren't I?"
• "NOW YOU'RE A MAN, A SPIDER, SPIDER MAN!"

All-Star Comics #8

• The outtakes of Spoony's Hulk Hogan cameo, from Oreo (aka the Hulkadog) playing with clothes pins off camera to Spoony constantly calling Wonder Woman "brother" before correcting himself.

Spoony!Hulk Hogan: God, you got big boobs.

• "MAGIC GIRDLE!"
• When Diana and another Amazon react to Steve Trevor, Linkara smiles, points his finger in the air, and has stereotypical porno music start playing.

The Fantastic Four #1

• All of the Mole Man jokes.
• "Also, we on the surface have guns in abundance, even back in the '60s. Thus, the Mole-Human War of 1962 will probably just end in a huge pile of mole-meat."
• The whole Office Max thing seems to be a case of Never Live It Down for Linkara: He makes another joke about it when the Fantastic Four are being attacked by the creatures in the underground:

Linkara: (as Reed Richards) Damn! If only there was an Office Max down here! Then I'd be able to stop them!

• When Linkara plays a French solider (with a very fake and hammy accent) who is complaining about the Lemony Narrator.

All-American Comics #16

• In the comic, a bridge collapses.

Linkara: (deadpan) This is your tax dollars at work, people.

• "I'm green, I can fly... my god! I'm Peter Pan!"
• "Gotta love that 1940's casual racism!"
• Linkara gets tired of people in the comic describing the lamp as "queer".

"One, stop using that word..."

• The comic mentions an "ageless, toneless voice" penetrating into the subconscious. Cue Linkara reacting to an Ear Worm pop song.
• The sketch spelling out just how suspicious Alan Scott would look to the police after the Shocking Swerve of the villain dying of a heart attack.
• "Don't hurt me! I'll be your pal!"
• "Aw, who's a cute little cybermat, yes you are.
• "Bein' Green" playing over the credits.
• Linksano's dreams of ruling the world go crashing down thanks to Linkara pointing out that ruling the world isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Captain America Comics #1

• I AM AMERICA! *punches Hitler*
• "And there he was, Adolf Hitler with his ridiculous moustache..."

Linkara: Aww, Joe Simon, you're making Charlie Chaplin cry."

• Captain America: NEGATIVE HITLER.
• "As the ruthless war-mongers of Europe focus their eyes on peace-loving America..."

Linkara: (Firing in the Air a Lot) WOO! PEEEAACE! WOOOOOO!!!

• "Does Captain America have to choke a bitch?"
• "You sure did read Rommel's book, sir! You read the hell out of it!"
• "Oh please, Film Brain already solved the riddle: Charles Dickens is an immortal hobo."
• He ends the episode by playing the hilarious USO scene from Captain America: The First Avenger over the credits.

Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan #1

• His explanation for why he's reviewing a Star Trek comic instead of a Christmas-themed comic this year, reminding the viewers of the crappy Christmas comics he had reviewed in previous years (as well as Bearded Idiot), culminating in:

Linkara: Dammit, I'm giving myself a Christmas present this year!

• "If we are gonna treat it like a funeral, it's gonna be an Irish wake! Booze me up, Scotty!"
• Linkara's reaction to Scotty smiling:

Linkara: (horrified) "SCOTTY. NEVER. SMILE. AGAIN."

• The Lampshading of how Linkara has always has time to do a whole review before the storyline material, and this time it really bites him in the ass.
• Linkara's response to Khan calling himself a former prince with the obvious: "Now I am the Khan formerly known as Prince."
• Khan's opening monologue being muffled due to not removing his mask until the final line.

Linkara: (as Chekhov) Khan... I did not get a verd of that; could you please repeat yourself?

Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan #2

• The fast-talking infomercial for the Genesis Device.
  • "How much would you pay for a genesis like this? $499? $599? Wrong! This genesis can be yours for just $59.95, plus shipping and handling!"
• 'In Space, no one can hear you deet deet deet.'
• "Khan...don't...walk over my lines."
• Linkara's utterly crazed reaction to the comic in question relegating the legendary: KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!! scream to a single panel and to a mere simple shout.
• His impressions of the comic's wonky face illustrations.

Linkara: I don't know which emotion I'm conveying, but I'm conveying it as hard as I can!

• "I did nothing... Except, of course, kick ass, because that's what I do. I'm James T Kirk. The 'T' stands for 'totally kicked your ass'."

Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan #3

• Linkara's particularly flimsy excuse for why he's continuing the review in the middle of a storyline event, as well as Nimue's deadpan, "Why?".
• Two during the scene where Spock prepares to stop the radiation leak: "I'm sorry Doctor, but since it's likely I won't survive, I need to pose you in a humorous fashion at least once before the end", and "Remember that you owe me ten bucks, and I expect it back when I get out."
• "Kirk's best friend gets up and moves over to him and OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, ZOMBIE SPOCK!" Particularly because the scene had been unusually well done until that art showed up.
  • Also, the title card. Linkara's expression is priceless.
  • Spock: "Ship...out of danger?"

Linkara: "Not yet it isn't! The Zombie Apocalypse has just begun!"

• "Because nothing says 'we love you and respect you as a colleague' by shoving them into something meant to blow up." And - as wrong as it sounds - Linkara's addition to Kirk's eulogy- "Afterwards, there will be cake and punch served on the bridge."
• Linkara countering Kirk's comment about facing death by mentioning other people who literally beat death.
• The nod to the comic miniseries "Infestation", which involves Star Trek, Transformers, and other series fighting zombies.
• "NO one understands me, Teddy Kahn!"

Top 15 Personal Favorite Jokes

• Linkara getting all the fan-favorite recurring jokes out of the way in the episode's pre-opening credits sequence, and merging them into one super-running gag.

Linkara: (while Combine Harvester plays in the background) I AM THE GODDAMN BATMAN which is nothing but death, and crime, and the ADAMANTIUM RAGE! of a Bees. My God. It just raises too much logic in what he says. Of course! Don't you know anything about poor literacy, you Magnificent Bastard I read your BOOK!

• Ted Turner's plan of saving the world from asteroids? "CAPTAAAIN PLAAANET! CAPTAAAIN PLAAANET!"
• After Linkara realized that the comic's "plot" was beginning to sound like something The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future would come up with:

The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future: And then in the year 5002, Ted Turner and Jane Fonda sent their infant son of eighteen years back to the present in a time machine made of Playstation 1 parts! Kaiba: You've been drinking again, haven't you? The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From the Future: Shut up, you're not the boss of me!

• ALAN GREENSPAN! DOESN'T! WORK THAT WAY! Wow, that's a new one.
• "$500 bucks? What the hell show are they going to see? Given this was Marvel, I'd think this was Spider Man Turn Off the Dark. Buuut, given the humor level of this thing, I think we really know what's really playing in that theater."

1975 Musical Superman: Hi there America and friendly nations everywhere, glad we could get together.

Miller Time: Robocop vs. the Terminator #1

• Linkara suggesting that Skynet caused Judgment Day after discovering the existence of three live-action Alvin and The Chipmunks films
• This exchange:

Narration Box: She waits. A bird calls out. Then another. Soon it's a chorus. It takes her a full minute to recognize the sound for what it is. And she cries. Linkara: (as the female time traveler) Why? Why are the birds singing "My Humps"?

• Linkara imitating Robocop giving the Miranda Rights to the thugs he just killed.
• The Stinger. Oh, my god the stinger. Linkara puts great usage of the scene with RoboCop going to handle the mayor problem with this exchanged:

RoboCop: Keep him talking. Lt. Hedgecock: Okay, Miller! Don't hurt the mayor! We'll give you what you want! (Cut to The T-800 inside his motel room, going through a list of commands filled with curses.) The T-800: Fuck you, asshole. Lt. Hedgecock: Okay!

• All the jabs Linkara makes at himself
• Someone in the audience asks "Are you a man, or a Muppet?", clearly wanting Linkara to do his "I am a man" meme. But first he does a "puppet arms" routine.

• "Red-white-and-blue guy with a shield. Diehard is clearly a ripoff of.... Archie Comics' The Shield."

"So, so, it's totally not like any other character's shield. It's all computers and stuff. It's totally different. (beat) Shut up!"

• On names:

Linksano: Very little chance of that, I can assure you!

    • His added reaction to the comic's cliffhanger ending where Mr. T is knocked out by the aforementioned Stare Roy, as he says "No" a bit more, even playing his DS while adding more to his "no-ing".

[Leaps up, starts singing] "All these years, and all this hard work, I've finally-" [Needle Scratch] "Wait, I'm not a title card artist, I made the Atop the Forth Wall theme song." Masterthecreator: "Oh? Oh well then we don't care about you." Vincent: "WAIT!" [cut off]

• • Marobot unwillingly talking to Snowflame: "Yes, I know you like cocaine. Who doesn't?"
• The return of the Mr. T Superpower Count.

Thor!kara: Verily, this show about ponies is quite entertaining!

• Dr. Doom hates Rock and roll.
• The fact that Linkara managed to say "the power of pink" without laughing.
• "Two muscle-bound superheroes in tight clothes, and tentacles. I don't even have to maker a joke at this point. You're all doing it right now on your own."
• Explaining that he was going to be playing the game as well as reading the comic, and then showing us some of the mind-numbingly dull gameplay to explain why it's not happening.
• Reaching the end of the comic, and faced with a cliffhanger tasking him to play the game in order to "Save Spidey, Cap, and America", Linkara excitedly decides to do so... and ends up getting bored by it.

Spider-Man: I'll go high! Captain America: And I'll go low! Linkara: And, because I don't know where in Europe Latveria is, I have no idea which one of you will be in Scotland before the other.

• "I'm Dr. Doom! I automatically know who's coming to thwart my plans!"
• Spider-Man acting like a valley girl and thinking that Captain America will ask him to the homecoming dance.
• Linkara's impersonations of former president George H.W. Bush.
• After Cap manages to knock out two mooks at once with his shield:

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

The Invincible Four of Kung Fu & Ninja #1

• Linkara stating that the comic he is reading is something his friend Gordon would be an expert in. This then leads to Gordon calling Linkara over the phone and Linkara noting that he sounds like his voice is being dubbed over, and it is.

Linkara: *Picks up his phone.* Oh, it's, uh, my old friend Gordon. Hang on a second, I gotta take this. Hey, Gordon. Gordon: Hello, Linkara, this is Gordon. Linkara: Yes, I know, Gordon. Hey, are you ok? You sound kind of weird, like you're in dubbed over footage or something. Gordon: Yeah, that tends to happen around here.

• "There are question marks just floating in the air! What the hell are they?" This with actual question marks floating next to him.
• "Hellooo, I'm Bob Slimy."
  • And all follow up slime-related jokes.
• Linkara lamenting an antagonistic character's lack of genre savviness in threatening and racially abusing a black character:

"Dude, best not to wave your fist so close to him in a comic about ninjas and Kung-Fu. He's liable to bite your hand off in one move."

• His response to "advice" dispensed by a fourth wall breaking character of ambiguous species:

"Thanks... Purple rat demon."

• "Ah, yes, the most traditional of Kung-Fu weaponry. The umbrella."
• The post-credits stinger, where we see the Ninja-Style Dancer "fighting" against the Plaid Ninja, a representative of the Evil Ninja Empire mentioned earlier. It's as hilarious as it sounds.
• Linkara referring to one of the Mooks as "Krillin" and even including the "Krillin Owned Count" for when said mook makes a rather idiotic observation.
• Contrasting "real martial arts" with "Shane riding on Dustin's back".

Kamandi at Earth's End #2

• Linkara points out how much the comic fails at geography...only for the camera to cutaway to Linksano in an insert obviously made after the fact, explaining that the comic was actually right and Linkara's outrage was totally wrong. Later on, back in the regular review, Linkara harps on how the creative team has no grasp of geography...and we cut back to Linksano looking incredibly uncomfortable.
  • Even more embarrassing, he used this as his final insult to the comic at the end of the video, prompting him to dub in an argument between him and Linksano.
    • Which ends with Linkara simply just decking Linksano after he gets called out on making mistakes in his insults directed at last week's comic (The Invincible Four of Kung-Fu and Ninja #1), particularly the "flaming spear tip".
• "Sorry two other ladies. You don't meet our definition of beautiful, so you're screwed."

Black Web #1

• The "carless" craftsman's punishment.

Linkara: "Being carless, we will punish him by giving it a car... and then taking it away.

• "Oh Crap, spiders can't fly!"
• "I AM A MAN!", and then the camera's angle randomly changes much to Linkara's confusion.
  • The implication being that thanks to the reality warping magic of the "I AM A MAN!" punch, Linkara grabbed his camera.
• Linksano's appearance telling the audience why it's okay to call Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein. "Three, Frankenstein is not real, yet, thus we can name him whatever we want!"
• Black Web encountering what appears to be a black Spoony Bum.

Transformers Generation 2 #1

• Linkara as Grimlock doing a Shakespearian monologue.

Me Grimlock Prospero!

• • Linkara as Grimlock period.
• His complete confusion at how a Transformers story can be "gritty."
• Repeatedly calling out the comic's Continuity Lock Out issues, despite the writer saying it was designed to be newbie-friendly.
• Linkara as Optimus Prime doing a monologue while oblivious to the battle going on.
• As he plays The Touch over a scene of Optimus being badass, he stops it and remembers this is from the 90s and he should play something more appropriate. Cue Rage Against the Machine.
• "We need to teach the Decepticons how important and precious life is......BY KILLING EVERYTHING!!!"

Captain Tax Time #1

• At one point, Captain Tax Time punches the lights out of a random gaurd. The guard says Oh shii... before being punched and Captain Tax Time corrects him by saying he meant "sugar".

Linkara: This comic is a piece of sugar.

• Linkara's outrage that the comic doesn't show how the two vigilantes managed to clean up all organized crime in Canada.
• Boffo the Clown returns... to do Linkara's taxes.
• "You get a tax! And you get a tax...! I am the Oprah of taxes!"
• "If only there were some way we could vote them out during elections. It’s a pity we live in Canada, home of the goblin people." Cue confused shrug.
• Linkara's increasing rage at Captain Tax Time and Sargent Saver's plan to stop the evil new tax by stopping all crime.

Superman #701

• Linkara's Running Gag of "Superman! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Able to (something stupid or immoral!)"
• An unintentional one: when Superman stops to help some men fix a car, Linkara notes that Superman is glad to help people with problems "of all sizes, big and large." Made even funnier (this time intentionally so) when he apologizes for this slip in the subtitles: "Editing your script? What's that?"
• While on the topic:

Citizen: How do you know it's a damn fuel line? Superman: Trust me, I know. Linkara, in Superman's voice: I cut it myself.

• "Pardon me, citizen, but may I borrow a cup of drugs?"
• Almost all What the Hell, Hero? moments - his reactions are hialrous.

Bloodstrike #1

• "All of a sudden, though, I get this weird feeling — like I'm doin' something I've done before — and I freeze up." "Oh jeez, the Taco Bell just hit me!"
• The epic rant about how we don't learn anything about anyone on the team, and the few hints at their backstories are interrupted. "Do they like piña coladas? Give me something!"
• Repeatedly getting the comic's name wrong, given how similar all of Rob Liefeld's work is.
• His imitation of General Patton,whose speech he altered in the form of a Take That to Liefeld.
  • 90's Kid gets one in the Stinger, too!

90's Kid: I love it; Dude help me, I do love it so...

• After reading a long talk of the villain which concludes with him stating he will terminate them immediately.

Linkara:"Which is why I just spent a minute saying that to you instead of having my guards open fire right away with you at point-blank rage.(points to them) Clichèd characters,(points to himself) clichèd villains.

Marville #2

• The video opens up with a very drunk Linkara struggling to get from off the floor to his couch.

Linkara: Hello and welcome to...that thing I do.

• Reacting to seeing the Kingpin being Spike Lee by going outside while the end credits song in Manos: The Hands of Fate plays in the background.

Linkara:Peter Parker is a magnet for crazy people!

• In the second story, a boy named Juan throws a bully several feet back with one shove of his hand. Linkara then declares that Juan has super strength.

The New Teen Titans Anti-Drug Giveaway #1

• "I'm 13 years old and I've taken[…]pop and mushrooms." "Oh my God, not pop! First they get you on the Pepsi, then they move you up to harder stuff like Mountain Dew!" Even funnier when you realize he actually misread "PCP" as "pop".
• The Stinger. Yet another PSA from... SNOWFLAME!

Snowflame: DON'T MAKE SNOWFLAME LOVE AND TOLERATE THE CRAP OUTTA YOU!

• "OH MY GOD! RAVEN'S TRIPPING BALLS!"
• Starfire's Big No
• Linkara's back and forth of Starfire constantly reminding Speedy of his past drug addictions, to Speedy's growing annoyance. And just as a little nod at one point Linkara as Speedy uses Starfire's real name.
• "I'm telling you sweetie, that Angry Video Game Nerd is a bad influence on her."
• Linkara ranting on about Rise of Arsenal, before realizing that, since the reboot, Lian would never have been born in the first place.

Linkara: You know, I think I may hate the reboot.

• • Not the only part:

Roy: Pal, you just made yourself a bad mistake. Linkara!Roy: Here! Wanna see the pictures of my DEAD DAUGHTER, who lead me to start taking drugs again!? DO YOU!? ANSWER ME, DAMNIT!!!

• One of the drug victims is identified as Juan. "That's why he could toss people around one-handed!"
• After Linkara talks about how it turns out China Cat is actually a drug and wonders why they'd call it that we get this:

Linkara(said in a gravely drug pusher voice):Hey man you wanna get a hit of Slinky!? (starts playing with a slinky) Everyone knows it's Slinky.

• After the line where Protector says that people uses drugs for many reasons and for no reasons.

Linkara 1: Hey, when did you start to use crack? Linkara 2: Eh. No reason.

Daredevil vs. Vapora #1

• Linkara's fun with the line "It's some type of vaporous thing, a Vapora!"

Linkara: This is some type of comic thing, a Com-eec-a!

• • At the end of the review.

Linkara: All I can say is this is some type of stupid thing, a stupeed-a.

• Linkara versus Physics:

Narrator: In front of him, a drop of 20 feet to the street below. Alone, it would be nothing; a puddle-jump. Linkara: Oh yeah, jumping down to the ground from 20 feet up is perfectly safe. Allow me to demonstrate- [THUD] OH GOD MY LEGS

• When Murdock asks if the cop saw Vapora, the cop asks Murdock "Did I see?" and points to his eyes.

Murdock!Linkara: Uh I mean, did you HEAR that? I'm totally not faking being blind or anything.

• His sheer horror over the teenagers using gasoline to clean their motorbikes. Wondering if they use gasoline to rinse leftover shampoo from their shower.
• His reaction to multiple Vaporas.

• In the comic, Joker pulls a gun on one of his own mooks to prevent Batman from stopping him while he escapes before pulling the gun on Batman himself. Of course, he doesn't shoot him (with bullets), but Linkara decides to what would happen if he averted the Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? moment.

Linkara: (As the Joker) *Pulls the trigger and shoots* Heh. T-that was surprisingly simple. Kind of funny, actually.

• Linkara showing the gaping flaw in the Joker's plan. His army is only six people, Canada and the United States would crush him.
• Linkara drops a line from his theme song when the Gunslinger starts shooting.

Linkara: You have a magic gun? Where'd you purchase that?

• When the Gunslinger notices that in spite of the sparks and explosions, nothing in Linkara's apartment is being damaged by his gunshots. This may end up being important, but either way it's a nice bit of lampshading.
• Snowflame's PSA combines EPICMEALTIME and a complete Mind Screw.
  • His making most of the sandwich in typical Large Ham fashion, then carefully measuring out the cocaine put on top.
• Linkara as the girl at the library.

"Chapters! I need chapters!"

• When the Joker tells Batman he'll "see (him) in the funny papers", Linkara follows up with infamous "Joker Pulls Boner of the Year" headline.
• Linkara pointing out the silliness of Batman commenting on the beauty of the Canadian wilderness. Made even funnier by reading it in his Batman gruff-voice.
• "Don't worry, kids, I can't fly either!"
  • "Unlike that Superman...Not that I'm jealous or anything!"
• The Joker demands a rare book from the (wheelchair-bound!) librarian. The librarian tells him he's being too loud and asks him to leave.

Linkara: Librarians know no fear.

• Pointing out the girl's unhealthy obsession with reading to the point she was excited about reading information pamphlets.
• His commentary on Batman swinging through the air while fireworks are going off in the background.

Linkara: (As Batman) Oh, God! My cape is on fire! Why did I clean it with gasoline!?

• This may just be me being an ass, but seeing Linkara panicly hitting the Magic Gun and trying to make it work again, all while shouting "WHAT'D I DO?!?!" just cracks me up.

SPECIAL: Southland Tales

• Linkara brings Film Brain to explain the backstory of the movie:

Film Brain: Where am I?! How did I get here!?

• Phelous piling on the sarcasm more and more every time he talks.
• The Call Back to Kickassia: "I'm not even in front of you!"
• The Stormtrooper.
• When Justin Timberlake gives another Revelation quote, Oancitizen suddenly appears with a huge pipe ("By the way, I'm in this review now.") and gives a well-researched summary of the Book of Revelation, along with describing how Southland Tales was written to be a transliteration of Revelation and the Biblical counterparts of several characters. Then:

Nostalgia Chick: So, what's the Biblical significance of the elephants fucking? Oancitizen: Oh, nothing, just stupid, unsubtle jabs at the Republican Party.

• The reviewers frustration of the narrator's constant quoting of Book of Revelation.

"Revelation 22..." (Entire Room) "SHUT UP!"

• After a scene in the film where several shocking revelations are made, the reviewers parody this by shouting out their own revelations, culminating in Nash shouting "I'm pregnant!" Then JesuOtaku pops up out of nowhere, slaps him, and runs off crying.

Marvel Team-Up 74

• The beginning of the video

Linkara: Spider-man meets the cast of Saturday Night Live...what? (cut to opening credits)

• John Belushi being made a Green Lantern. Just try to picture it without cracking up.
