Hello I'm the Nostalgia Critic! Do you like Ninja Turtles? Let me glorify a mediocre children's cartoon for forty minutes presenting it as High Art while making GBS threads all over other pop-culture icons because they didn't have the decency to be made when I was a sad embarrassment of a child.

Even in highschool he could have just pulled it all back into a greasy pony tail to complete the porn-peddler image. Was hosed from the get-go.

Internet reviewing becoming a thing is one of weirdest consequences of the great recession. Its kind of telling how production from the Chez Apocalypse producers has slowed since the economy has gotten better and they have been able to start families and carriers in fields they actually want to work in. Makes for a pretty good argument to live in New York City rather than a hell hole like Phoenix or any where in Minnesota.

Internet reviewers don't have a lot of artistic integrity in the first place, but you can tell they've jumped the shark once they start including long skits or having "crossovers" with other internet reviewers. I imagine most successful reviewers start out doing something they enjoy, not necessarily what they think will "sell," but that's when they really start feeding into their own egos instead of producing content someone besides themselves will enjoy. Board James is probably better than the AVGN show at this point.

Fabricated posted:Movie Bob is more watchable but infinitely sadder as a human being Yeah Movie Bob can actually articulate his thoughts and has the decency to keep his videos short and mostly to the point, but then you learn about his 100 episode Game Overthinker series and how sad a lot of his life seems outside of talking about popular culture. I've heard Doug Walker himself is a decent enough guy, but no such excuse about Linkara. I saw that Todd in the Shadows is still going but it made me kind-of sad. He seems like a chill dude who needs to graduate to being a suit instead of talking about teeny bopper music.

Really? Moviebob's reviews suck (and it's funnysad he speeds up his audio to sound smarter) but his dumb skits where he fights himself in his pajamas is so bad it's good. Also his Super Mario 3 book is a great glimpse into how sad his life is. It is a real world Rusty Brown.

I think it's hilarious that Movie Bob committed career* suicide over Gamergate. Speaking of career* suicide, nobody who's been brought up is nearly as bad as the 'Current Releases' clowns that our own dear SA used to have. They were literally the worst critics that I have ever seen in my entire life. *: big ol' fingerquotes.

About 7 years ago I thought NC was funny but I was a lot dumber back then and thought a guy hooting and hollering over bad old movies was funny, now it's just lame, especially since everyone dogpilled onto the internet critic gravy train.

Yeah, I guess speeding up his voice does mean less time having to hear his voice. I downloaded a pdf of his book ages ago, and it is still sitting on my desktop. Whenever I see its icon, I get a nice little chuckle. The good parts are quoted on a bunch of reviews for the most part. mind the walrus posted:Have the MST3K/Rifftrax guys made any comments on them considering that the internet reviewer crop is tangent to their schtick? Bill Corbett told Spoony to gently caress off after Spoony tried to start a twitter playfight over Highlander if I remember right. There's an image somewhere. Gotta suck to have one of your idols shut you down, but considering how poorly Spoony treats his fan, it was total justice.

linkara always comes off uh awful but every once in a while brad jones or phelous or whoever whoever will get him to do a "fat grandma" character and i love it and it makes me like him. actually pretty much any time he makes fun of himself, comparing himself to burgess meredith's penguin, or reviewing a lamp, i think it's great. he seems like he needs to poke fun at himself some more, he's very self-serious.

Someone should do a review of all the internet critics lovely movies they make. Or have them review their own films and watch as they suck their own dicks over something everyone knows is horrible.

Yeah man would be totally badass if back when we were taking down mammoths we used nothing but our wits and teeth. Orcas taking down huge whales without spears and bows? Yeah I think that blows us out of the water figuratively speaking.
