| abstract | - This one refers to examples of (often overblown) symbolism in movies. The gag started with the review of "Equilibrium". He usually raises his voice whenever symbolism is shown in movies, usually accompanied by a subtitle that reads "SYMBOLISM!!!!11!! OMFGWTFGENIUS!!"
* Equilibrium:
* When Preston tears off the window covering, revealing a picturesque, rainbow covered cityscape.
* Preston crushes his Prozium dose under his heel as the voice of Father proclaims "for we embrace Prozium".
* Preston removes his glove and runs his hands along a wall.
* As Preston walks into a room and hears the music playing, the camera zooms into his eye, and back out as a gramophone.
* Although it's not pointed out with a subtitle, Preston also drops a snowglobe. This prompts FB to say, "f#%ks sake!"
* When Preston begins pistol-whipping fellow officers in slow-motion while epic music plays in the background.
* Preston shows up to his meeting with Father in a white suit.
* DuPont says "you're treading on my dreams" referencing back to a scene he wasn't actually in. This time Mat utters the words "SYMBOLIC PLOTHOLE" as they appear underneath him.
* Seraphim Falls:
* When the calm scene of a river with a floating leaf is trampled upon by horses.
* When Pierce's and Liam's character have the same dreams and visions.
* The knife and gun being left to rest, showing a "peace" between characters.
* Transmorphers:
* When the sun is shown as soon as the alien robots are defeated.
* Mission Impossible 2
* The doctor who worked on the virus sees a group of children play "Ring Around the Rosy" as the screen slows down and turns black and white.
* A parody of his own gag, Mat yells "DOVE-ULISM!" when a dove flies through a burning doorway. He then derides John Woo for using his "trademark" in such a stupid manner.
* Seven Pounds
* Tim's car is alone on a busy highway.
