  • From his review of Driven:
Cquote1

 "Originally intended as a biopic of the late Ayrton Senna, it evolved into a racing movie set in Formula One. One problem: the Formula One bosses took one look at the script and told Stallone to get stuffed."

Cquote2
    • Brain laughing at the giant piranha crashing into a random building.

Linkara: I AM A MAN! *PUNCH*

    • When the Eskimo dressed as a raven starts cawing (no, I'm not making this up), the look on Film Brain's face is priceless. And it gets even better when he asks if someone spiked his tea.
  • From 10,000 B.C.:
    • Playing The Flintstones theme song during the end credits of the review was a stroke of genius.
    • His numerous hilarious fits of rage over the plentiful history fail and geography fail. Especially the fact that they trekked all the way from Russia to the pyramids and it's supposed to be set thousands of years before there were ANY pyramids in Egypt.
    • Using the death tune from Super Mario Bros. (twice!) for the deaths of two characters was hysterical.
    • "What next, nuclear weapons? Well, that might actually make the film entertaining."
  • His rebuttal to a scene in The Adventures of Pluto Nash in which a speaker is heard playing from an oncoming car:
Cquote1

 (leans directly into camera) THERE IS NO SOUND IN SPACE!

    • At one point, he goes on an EPIC QUEST to try to understand a stupid joke about Salt Lake City.[1] After his computer freezes up, he runs halfway across town, threatens someone into letting him use their computer, looks the city up on Wikipedia, laughs... then says the joke wasn't funny and it wasn't worth it. All accompanied by the Indiana Jones theme.
    • The scene where he rummages through a briefcase:

    • Also, his reaction to Wolverine blocking an eyebeam-blast from Dudepeel with his claws.

 Allow me to demonstrate what is wrong with this using a fork. *pulls one out and points at the tines* You see what the problem might be?

  • His impression of Laurence Olivier's ridiculous overacting in The Jazz Singer, wherein he runs around the house flailing his arms and moaning until Professor Celluloid slaps him.
  • When Christmas with the Kranks starts giving him flashbacks to Jingle All the Way, he narrates over the scene in an Ahnold voice.
  • The beginning of the Mission Impossible 2 review. Particularly Doug Walker in a Bad Boss persona greeting him as, "Heeeey, Equilibrium douchebag!"
  • When there's a random sex scene in Live Wire, he first wonders if he accidentally changed the TV to a porno channel. Then he gets out binoculars.
  • A shocking revelation in Ultraviolet is followed by the Eastenders riff. Perfect fit.

    • "The other troubling character in this race is Suki - who's supposedley a tough girl, which is why she drives around in a bright, Barbie pink car and spends most of the race in dead last."

    • The bottles have a luminous glow, so they have a lightsaber battle.
    • "You know its good when it warns you to drink it in moderation."
    • Then they pour it into a cup to see what color it is.
Cquote1

 Mathew: It's got a very yellow color like...piss.

Braedon: It would be funny if I came out of the bathroom and was like, here you go!

Mathew: Yes, thank you for the very carbonated piss you've got there.

Braedon: I jumped up and down a lot.

Cquote2
    • Chris trying to decide what Mountain Dew tastes like.
Cquote1

 Chris: Mountain Dew tastes like Mountain Dew and I have no idea what Mountain Dew tasted like before I tasted Mountain Dew...

Mathew: But did you like it?

Chris: I don't know! It tastes like sugar with a bit of something that I can't pinpoint. It says it's citrus but I don't really know what it tastes like. It tastes like...it tastes like what I imagined carpets tasted like before I actually tried to eat the carpet.

Mathew: It wasn't that bad!

Chris: No when I was little I would look at the carpet and go "Mmm, that looks tasty"! Until the day I actually tried to eat it...

Braedon: Did the carpet taste the same as the drapes?

Cquote2
  • From his review of Two Thousand Twelve:
    • Just as Woody Harrelson's character dies: "This one's for Money Train!"
    • Early on in the second half, we get a bit of description of the 2012 disaster hitting Tokyo. This is cut off by Mathew on his sofa, explaining he cut out a joke because of events that took place not long after the intended release. His solemn tone conveys just how dead serious he is as he explains the scene in detail, why he was originally going to joke about it, and that he meant not to make light of recent events as much as he did the film. Right after this, he plays the scene where the Vatican collapses. The sound of bowling pins is heard right as the ruins crush the crowd.
  • Sunday School Musical: Mathew calling Todd in the Shadows "Hoodie Scum" upon meeting him for the first time and offering Todd his wallet in exchange for not getting stabbed.
    • When Todd eventually gets Mathew to calm down, Todd mentions reviewing Crossroads. Not only does Mathew mention two other works with the same title, but when Todd finally just tells him it's the Britney Spears movie, Mathew just deadpans "We're not going to review that".
      • And then one of the eponymous Sunday schools turns out to be actually named Crossroads, leading to an additional plea from Todd.
    • A character's father explains a prayer her mother would say, "Lord, let this bubble take away my trouble." Smash cut to Mathew and Todd fake-puking.
    • The montage of Todd trying to get people to review with him, especially Obscurus Lupa.
    • Brain asks Todd how he got in his room when the door was locked. Todd deadpans "I move in the space between spaces" and they leave it at that.
  • In the Hercules in New York review with Obscurus Lupa, their reaction to a really fake bear suit, and "The Hercules & Pretzie Fun Hour".
  • Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Film Brain remarks that as a child of the nineties, he missed the initial Transformers craze by a few years & can only judge the Michael Bay films on their own merits, before acknowledging he knows people who feel differently. Cut to Spoony.
Cquote1

  Spoony: FUCK YOU! *punches a DVD copy of the original film*

Cquote2
    • "With each sex and groin joke, Bay brings society closer to the days of Ow, My Balls!."
    • "Careful there guys, I think that might also be the home of the Holy Grail."
    • Brain getting excited that one of the twins is going to get eaten...only to be disappointed that it was a subversion.
    • Brain's reaction to Deverstator's infamous Brass Balls. Complete with a cameo from Spoony mocking him.

  • From Out Of Reach:
    • "So yeah, Seagal Month got very awkward very quick, it seems."
    • The charades segment.
    • The closing cameo by Brad Jones' voice. Film Brain's reaction only makes it funnier.
    • His reaction at the end of the film when we see a still shot of Seagal smiling. It really isn't a natural expression on the guy.
    • "Yes, it's all part of my cunning scheme of killing Seagal! [beat] Somehow!"
    • "He sneaks into the henchman's room using the brothel's secret passageways...just go with it..."
    • "I think the wall is dead, sir."
  • From Mercenary For Justice:
    • "He's Seagal's friend, he's black, and he's in a war. Oh he is so dead!"
      • And when he does "His life expectancy was in negative numbers!"
    • One hell of a visual pun about eight minutes in.
    • His growing confusion over the incomprehensible plot.
    • Another title card joke:
Cquote1

 Mathew Buck

(Nerd)

Cquote2
    • After Seagal's edited escape from the back seat of a car:
Cquote1

 Film Brain: Really?! We're not going to buy that this guy is lightening fast when he's twice the man he used to be! He looks two steps away from a heart attack!

Selma: It's like he disappeared to fat air. [Patty and Selma laugh]

Cquote2
    • "Ugh, how am I going to write about this?"
    • The closing cameo from Benzaie's voice.
  • Shadow Man:
    • Film Brain tuning his throat like a radio reciever.
    • "Sex with Seagal is like playing a game of Whose Boob Is Which?"
    • "He's a real action star!"
    • "AAGH! Not again! YIKES!"
    • "So the film opens in a lab where Scientists are working on a secret, deadly weapon. Which alarms THIS MAN." *cuts back to Film Brain* DERP *Film Brain hits head against wall*
  • Against the Dark:
    • His reaction to the psychotic scientist that looks like Tommy Wiseau.
    • Any time he mocks the characters making typical Too Dumb to Live decisions.
    • "Stay away from the light, Dylan! There's too much symbolism!"
  • From Half Past Dead:
    • "NOOOOO! Not the fat guy, he was my favorite! He had a big-ass gun!"
    • Going "WEEE!" as Seagal and a terrorist are swinging on cables.
    • His glee at the prospect of Seagal actually dying... only to realize that this is why the movie was called "Half Past Dead."
Cquote1

 Film Brain: Even saying that is painful.

Cquote2
    • When the first Body Double Count appears:
Cquote1

 Film Brain: Well, all right, that's something that would actually need a stunt double. As opposed to WALKING.

Cquote2
    • "The editing in the PG-13 version is really fu[silence]ng obvious."
  • From Half Past Dead 2:
    • Any time Film Brain makes a reference to Bill Goldberg's wrestling career.
    • This bit, after some bad dubbing:
Cquote1

 Film Brain: I'm a furious ventriloquist!

Cquote2
    • After a scene in which Twitch won't shut up:

    • The 5 Nic Cage levels: 1 (Kinda Weird), 2 (Bit of an Oddball), 3 (Bloomin' Mental!), 4 (BATSHIT INSANE!!!), 5 (NOT THE BEES!!!!!)
      • "Cage has three modes: eccentric, batshit crazy, and Disney. And I only wish he was batshit crazy in this one."
    • His increasing disbelief when none of the Hidden use their elemental abilities to fight Ghost Rider, especially when he easily defeats Water despite being as a severe disadvantage.
      • "So, fire beats water underwater? That's like in 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' having paper beat scissors!"
  • From When in Rome
    • His entire commentary on the Vase scene: "Holy Shit! Is that vase made out of adamantium?"

    • "Congratulations, Prick! You've just pissed off Yogi Bear, who's come for Boo-Boo, and now he thinks you're a threat!"
    • Film Brain's particular theory for how the bear knows that Bland is pregnant.
  • Another one of his live streams took place in the same house as several of his friends, who (to his dismay) where watching the stream in the next room and, somehow, getting a laugh out of the five second delay between him saying things in real life and saying them on the stream. Eventually they decided to crash into his room with nerf guns and mooning. As many people put it, "It's like a bad live action fanfic".
  • From The Happening:
    • A shot of Matthew running in a field: "RUN AWAY FROM THE WIND!!!"
    • The ominous clouds are only ominous because of the string music - as Brain demonstrates by switching the music to the theme from The Magic Roundabout.

    • Film Brain demands that Jesu prove that the room is hers. Cue a sleeping Nash rolling over and trying to spoon with him. And somehow, Film Brain managed to get into the bed without noticing that anyone else was there.

 FB: (after Jesu gave him royalty money for "FEMINISM!" in US money) I only accept real United Kingdom currency. Not that silly, floppy cloth money. Silly American.

    • Where did Nash go after Bennett zapped him? The Ice King's lair.
    • Film Brain commenting on the dream sequences:

  Well, y'see, I couldn't decide on what movie I wanted to make, so I just made ALL OF THEM.

  • During the Universal Soldier: the Return review, Dr. Insano shows up with a shot glass full of what he claims is a Jean Claude Van Damme sperm sample, which he'll use to clone an army of Van Dammes that will fight his army of Bruce Lees solely for his own amusement.
    • Then, at the end of the review, he takes the shot. "Ick. Salty."
  • From The Tooth Fairy
    • The montage song.
    • All the jokes about Dwayne Johnson's sinking film career.
  • From his crossover review with Lupa on Metal Man, a hilariously poor mockbuster of Iron Man:
    • All the jokes about the main character's situation and how it seems to keep getting worse with every new development, as well as the Alternate Character Interpretation of Dr. Blake.
      • To elaborate: the main character is forever trapped against his will in a metal suit without knowing beforehand it's impossible to remove, and must constantly listen to the AI Dr. Blake. Later on, his parents are murdered, he must forever subsist on a foul-tasting liquid (which will eventually run out, as Film Brain points out), having the suit damaged makes him prone to heart attacks and strokes and the AI Dr. Blake can view his dreams.
Cquote1

 Film Brain: Hate to break it to you Doctor, but wearing a mechanical suit doesn't make you another species. And that certainly doesn't explain why you've condemned one of your students to wearing it for the rest of his life. You've successfully taken away his family, his girlfriend and his ability to take a piss forever. That doesn't make you a hero, that makes you a dick!

Cquote2
    • The reviewers pointing out the film's high Special Effect Failure (especially considering it was made by a special effects expert), such as the screwed-up invisibility effect that causes the background to double up.
Cquote1

 Film Brain: I think calling this "Metal Man" is probably pushing it. But let's face it, "Plastic and Rubber Man" wouldn't shift the DV Ds off the shelves.
