The Cinema Snob/Trivia

• Colbert Bump: After Youtube closed Brad Jones' account, Spoony posted a few of his reviews on his website and caused his popularity to surge.
  • Also, a number of movies have gone on to cult status since appearing on his show, such as Nudist Colony of the Dead, Zombie 90, and anything starring Pierre Kirby or directed by Bruno Mattei.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: The Snob suffers an unfortunate case when he sees the lead in Italian Batman is Mark Shannon, the same guy from Porno Holocaust (which he referenced earlier in the review). It's unfortunate because Shannon suffers from genital warts.
  • What do Charlie Sheen, George Clooney, Laura Dern and John Rhys-Davies have in common? They all appeared in the unfinished Grizzly II!
  • He expresses absolute bafflement at the presence of Costas Mandylor in E.T.: The Porno.
  • He notices "King Pooper" in Super Hornio Bros. is Beaver in Beaver and Buttface (by drawing on his face with MS Paint!).
  • At one point, he joked about renaming his show The John Carradine Show. Had an opening credits sequence and everything, with John singing "Night Train to Mundo Fine" from Red Zone Cuba.
  • The main character in Pieces is Rick from Pod People, allowing him to both make jokes about Pod People while reviewing Pieces and make jokes about Pieces while reviewing the unriffed, original version of Pod People.
  • In a case of "Hey, It's That Toy!", the infamous toy robot henchman from Ninja Terminator is a knockoff of Omega Supreme.
• McLeaned: Jerrid Foiles has been let go from the site with no chance of returning, according to Brad.
  • In the first installment of Brad and Irving (which hangs a lampshade on both McLeaning and The Other Darrin), Brad directly invokes this trope by claiming that he last saw Jerrid boarding a plane with Henry Blake. Anyone who gets the reference(or read comments on the video written by people who did) will get the implications.
• One of Us: Jillian dressed up as Sailor Moon, may or may not own a katana, has referenced Death Note, and apparently plays D&D. Pretty safe assumption.
  • She also wears a Pinkie Pie shirt during the Japanese Kit-Kat episode of Brad Tries.
• What Could Have Been: According to the commentary of "Brad and Jerrid do The Room", Brad's review of The Room was going to be a Kung Tai Ted, but then Tommy Wiseau's lawyers came into the picture and started taking down various online reviews of that film.
  • Brad also mentioned once on his forums that he was planning a new scripted series about a character that loves films by The Asylum. As the post is nearly two years old of this time, the series probably didn't take off.
  • There's also several films he wanted to review, but ended up deciding against for various reasons. One he named was Hitler's Harlots, which he eventually decided against on because it was mostly regular sex. He also claims that the The Stewardesses 3-D review almost didn't happen because he had a hard time coming up with material.
