Quotes 

• Brentalfloss , Nostalgia Chick : [singing]  Guilty pleasures! Everybody has a few! Guilty pleasures! You and me and even you! Guilty pleasures! Surely even you have some! Guilty pleasures! Love them even though they're dumb!

  Nostalgia Critic : I think I get it!

  [singing] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Like how I enjoy Rocky IV. Though the writing's very poor. Ninja Turtles, Commando, X-Men 3.

  Brentalfloss , Nostalgia Chick : Oh, Jesus no!

  Nostalgia Critic : [singing]  Cool Runnings and Batman 2. Judge Dredd.

  Brentalfloss : I like that too.

  Nostalgia Critic : [singing]  Even Jason Goes To Hell. Paranoia.

  Cinema Snob : What the hell?

• Nostalgia Chick : So despite the fact that she falls in love faster than a Disney princess, Satine still acts like she's interested in the Duke, despite the fact that they try to avoid him at every chance they get.

  Nostalgia Critic : Now, why is this a big deal? She's prostituted herself for years and now she suddenly can't sleep with this guy because she has the hots for Trainspotting here?

  Brentalfloss : Don't you see? She's in love now!

  Nostalgia Critic : Yeah, but it happened in like a millisecond! That only happens in animated features and fairy tales!

  [Nostalgia Chick clears her throat and holds up a VHS of The Little Mermaid] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Shut up. I like that one.

  Brentalfloss : [points at the cover]  Ha ha! A penis!

• Christian : I've come to pay my bill. You made me believe you loved me! Why shouldn't I pay you?

  [Nostalgia Chick is seething] 

  Brentalfloss : Nostalgia Chick, you okay?

  Nostalgia Chick : Fine. I'm fine.

  Christian : Why can't I pay you like everyone else does?

  Satine : No, Christian, there's no point.

  Brentalfloss : Seriously, you don't look so good.

  Nostalgia Chick : I'm fine damn it! Fine!

  Christian : This woman is yours now. I've paid my whore! And you are nothing to me.

  Nostalgia Critic : Admit it, Chick. There's something you really hate about this scene, isn't there? It isn't just silly and stupid like the other scenes. There's something you really despise!

  Brentalfloss : No, there isn't.

  Nostalgia Critic : What is it about this movie that drives you absolutely insaaane?

  Nostalgia Chick : Christian is a complete twat!

  Nostalgia Critic , Brentalfloss : Christian's a twat?

  Nostalgia Chick : Yeah! Truly in love? That's such bullshit! Oh, all you need is love. Love, love, love, love... Who treated anyone they truly loved this way? Why would you slutshame her in front of an entire audience of people? Who calls that love? That's not love, that's bitterness!

  Nostalgia Critic : Well, because she lied to him, and he thought she was playing him the whole time.

  Brentalfloss : Yeah, I'd think you'd be more pissed at her than him.

  Nostalgia Chick : Oh sure, her actions are abjectly stupid and she's the victim of bad, stupid writing. But him? He's just despicable! He's evil! For as many times as he sings about looove, he treats her in the most insulting, dirty, mean-spirited way that you can treat a human being. And the dwarf's over here like "Oh, she wouldn't do that!" and yet him, the one that's in love with her can't figure this out? "Oh yeah, love! I forgot about that! That's right! I'm sorr... you know what, I'm not even sorry, but we're still in love. So let's sing about it! In front of everyone and everything's okay! Oh wait, you're dead. Awww." How would you feel if your loved one had some stupid misunderstanding that sprung from bad writing and then threw out all of their negative, horrible bile in one fell swoop... In front of everybody!
