I hate to be that guy, but... 

A phrase people can add before saying something nitpicky, like correcting you on some inconsequential fact.

Often secretly means, "I love to be that guy", since the kind of people who say it get a little thrill from correcting others and being pedantic.
"I hate to be that guy, but... you said The Matrix came out in April 1999. It was actually first released on March 31st."

Tobey Maguire 

A phenomenal actor and producer who has starred in various films like Brothers, the Spider-Man Trilogy, The Great Gatsby, and Seabiscuit. He is especially known around the world for his definitive portrayal of Spider-Man/Peter Parker. Tobey Maguire stands out from other actors as a result of his incredible ability to convey emotion through his face which earned him a golden-globe nomination. You can tell what he’s feeling and why just by looking at his face which is a hard feat to pull off consistently. Recently he’s transitioned into a producer who runs “Material Pictures,” with two recent financial success that have both been bought by Amazon (and consequently are available on Amazon Prime) like Brittany Runs A Marathon (2019) and Duked (2020).

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty 

A meme about rick and morty where people post this in reply of those criticisms of the show.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Not to be critical 

A phrase uttered after one has usually lambasted or insulted someones life or lifestlyle. This is pure sarcasam at its best, and if used properly makes the person feel confused, and unsure of what you just told them. The term always means you are actually being overly critical and are just trying to defuse a small amout of your criticism.
dude 1 : How did you like my new girl?

dude 2 : I knew her in high school she used to be a real slut.

dude 1 : What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

dude 2 : Not to be critical, just sayin.

dude 1 : oh, allright it"s cool.

dude 2 *shakes head in disbelief*

to be oatmealed 

Having your website mentioned by a social actor so viral that it makes your servers crash. The expression originates from comments regarding Matthew Inman's (cartoonist behind The Oatmeal) sending a gigantic amount of people on a given website once he mentions it on his facebook page, and making this website unavailable to other fans within seconds of being posted, every single time.
Heh. Their site's been oatmealed.
— I know, they'll need a new server now that The Oatmeal mentioned them in a post!
— It kinda both is nice and sucks to be oatmealed.
