Not that it's objective, but he was awesome.

Did he quit or something? Why do we keep saying "was"?

Doug Walker is currently doing a series called Demo Reel on thatguywiththeglasses.com, but it's hardly receiving the same kind of popularity or praise that the Nostalgia Critic did.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Sometimes. His reviews were really just recaps and his jokes ranged from drop dead hilarious to "I'm shutting off the video because that joke fell so flat." By the end I was getting pretty tired of the act, but Doug seems like a cool guy.

Demo Reelz is horrendous though.

And Mike and Jay of RLM's Half in the Bag are better, but they still have years ahead of them to go off the rails like NC did.

Not objective but I'll agree he was awesome and now he is The Universe itself.


Still, I find myself slowly liking Donnie. It'll be interesting to see where Demo Reel goes.


But it's clear to me Linkara is the best.

The most recent one in the hotel room is unbearable. NC really is an awful actor, and his speech issue he has with slurring really shows when he isn't screaming.

Nostalgia Chick

Her videos would be much, MUCH better if she stopped forcing her "wacky and hilarious" friends into them. My God, they're painfully unfunny.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

At the risk of sounding oblivious, who's that?

I made my user name back when I was little. I go by RandomJPG now. Please don't reference my username.

I stopped going to the site ever since he ended Nostalgia Critic. Demo Reel is painfully unfunny.

Redlettermedia is awesome, too. I like Plinkett's Cop Dog review the best.

I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

After NC ended, I almost never visited TGWTG except to check up on Cinema Snob and Angry Joe. Demo Reel is a boring parody that would last for 5 seconds in an NC segment but is stretched into a half hour to hour video littered with annoying yelling and bad "you have to watch to movie to get this super cool and funny" jokes.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

I always liked Bum Reviews with Chester A. Bum more than Nostalgia Critic.
