Yes but then where would we get two hour long videos of him eating weird flavored Asian snacks with his bored looking girlfriend?

At this point I can no longer tell if that is a joke description or an actual video.

well, the vids he does about D&D and poo poo are ok, if equally long as gently caress and meandering about 90% of the time. everything else though is usually garbage.

One time I saw a video of a guy who ate a huge bag of sugar-free gummy bears & the draw of that video was that he almost died from pooping but I don't understand the draw of a video where someone just eats a small portion of a regular food & explains what it tastes like. Is this a sex thing?

e: is the adult woman's child hairstyle an homage to the anime figurine behind her?

I got into Nostalgia Critic about a year ago and found a few of his videos...interesting, to say the least. But his stupid catchphrases and funny moments were kind of retarded. Then I watched some of his more recent stuff and it's all over produced crap to try to shoe in his own original content/acting chops. Talk about jumping the shark when your product was mediocre to begin with.

A good equivalent would be if Anthony Fantano started mixing in a bunch of stupid adventures with that mustached cousin of himself in the middle of his dumb album reviews.

I like his d&d/RPG view but I think it's great that he not only makes really inane videos from time to time but that his fans eat that poo poo up.

I might have misinterpreted something someone else said but, I heard that Kickassia was suppose to be his way of getting out of doing reviews and other junk on the site and a way into movies or at least something bigger. When it failed he went back and did reviews because that is what earns money.

It seems like most of the people on that site have some weird fanfiction junk to go along with their reviews.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.

Those videos are boring as poo poo but at least he pulled himself together for the most part and actually looks like living a normal life now instead of staying a depressed shithead.

I do really like Spoonys actual proper reviews quite a bit.

Pretty much. There's a certain wavelength you need to be on to get any enjoyment out of those kind of videos, and stuff like Kickassia was basically the dream team crossover stuff: it didn't really matter how lacking in quality the product was, because the enjoyment was seeing all the reviewers you liked in one place. Doug and co made two other such 'films', with the last one being about how he was going to retire the character and do new things. He then discovered the downside of the kind of fans on such a wavelength: they can't stand change and poo poo all over it, and so he had to bring it back.

Poor bastard. He's going to be stuck doing this until he snaps, I think.

the ultima videos he did were pretty great as far as I can tell, not having the time/inclination to watch an lp of them let alone play them, and even if he's a dick watching him be a dick to richard garriott in the interview was pretty awesome.

having said that, the doctor insano stuff drives me up the drat wall, similarly to most of the tgwtg stuff

going by the title and wall of loving anime behind them i'm going to assume they're reviewing a bunch of Asian store poo poo which yeah is a thing. it's sort of like unboxing videos though in that i understand what they're about but i'm not sure why we as a people have decided they should exist. i don't know if they made some YouTube bux off of that video or if there comes a point where your only communication with the outside world is through YT videos

I understand normal people reviewing stuff they bought but I don't really understand people making a video that is "look at this thing I bought" but I guess it's good there are people who provide that service free of charge.

The worst Spoony videos are the ones where he has just returned from watching a newly released movie and "reviewing" it. The video tend to be longer than the actual movies themselves.

He rages so much at the smallest thing in movies, and he used to be much worse. I guess that's the main draw of the videos because it's not like his commentary is particularly thoughtful or interesting. People love to see him rage.

because a POS $200 camcorder will pick up a mite's fart if it's within 10 feet, but absolutely nothing outside of that 10ft radius. also because fat fucks are the only ones goony enough to think people care about unboxing vids

He is alot older then the TWTG circus. He started a year or so after the AVGN and used be loving hilarious. maybe 3 years in, he started losing his poo poo, mostly because his gf left him or something. Now he is just kinda of a dickhead.

Yeah. i remember he was literally drunkenly crying about how he used to gently caress his GF during the review of one of the transformers movies.

Honestly, to me. It seems like the only funny one left out of that whole burning circus of clowns is the cinema snob.

The Brows Held High dude actually seems pretty smart and well-adjusted which makes me wonder how he can stand to keep the company he does. He was on two failed clones of TWTG.com and was moving to a third that never got off the ground before he went to their site. He's always been the only thing worth watching on whatever site he's on.

people like Nostalgia Critic and Pewds are basically piracy for people too young + dumb to actually pirate poo poo

they can't buy a movie or game so they watch it in 10-minute chunks on YouTube interspersed with some dumb rear end in a top hat mugging at the camera and shouting catchphrases

which makes the "reviewers" thinking they can turn around and sell original content really funny
