My Thoughts on: The Nostalgia Critic (warning some swearing)

"Hello I'm the Nostalgia Critic I remember it so you don't have to" Is one of my favorite phrases that I have been hearing many times lately. Now I am really looking forward to doing this article because I am a big fan of his and his web site thatguywiththeglasses.com. His reviews are in depth and informative as well as really funny. He has lead me back to watching many shows of my childhood. I am already a huge fan of 90's cartoons and since I have started watching his videos I started Re-watching The Tick, Freakazoid, Gargoyles, and Batman The Animated Series. I have also seen two movies he suggested Tiny Toons How I Spent my Summer Vacation as well as Return to OZ. So in this review of a reviewer I will talk about who he is, the Nostalgia Critic, That Guy With The Glasses, and Chester A Bum since those are his main characters so lets get into the molten pile of bile known as the Nostalgia Critic (only saying that because that how he introduces his feature).

So first a little bit one out host with the most Doug Walker. Doug was born in 1981 and now lives around Chicago (wikipedia great for stalkers haha.) While going through a mid-midlife crisis started to watch the programs and movies from his childhood. Him and his brother thought it was just a phase but ended up doing 5 second movies which was him condensing movies down into 5 seconds and posting them on youtube as well as the Nostalgia Critic and other things he did. How ever the "BIG BAD MILITARY" (aka film studios) thought that his videos are copy write infringement even though as parody they are protected under the fair use clause. So he moved his videos to his newly started web site thatguywiththeglasses.com and that is now the home of all of his videos. So let us look at That Guy With the Glasses.

"Oh hello didn't hear you come in" you have just entered the realm of That Guy. That Guy is dressed as a fancy individual with robe, pipe, and ascot. He is here to answer your stupid questions and he will give you disturbing answers. In this the narrator will ask the random and stupid questions ranging from "I have been trying to start a garden for the past three years, so I can eat more vegetables and green foods... but there's a huge frickin' Fraggle colony underneath my house. Do you have any ideas how to stop the Fraggles from stealing my radishes?" To this question "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger. Can I take your order?". The first one was from episode one and the second from episode 53. This is always a really funny bit and I have seen all of them more then once. That Guy is a sick and perverted man often talking about killing people and raping and other things. He has also provided a warning about the Hummel Figurine being of the devil as well as its babushka being made of the ass of Clifferd (sp) the big red dog. That Guy has been brought back to life after dying of a heart attack caused by a screamer video. However he made a deal with God and said he could come back to life as long as he promoted the bible ever so often. He was even once replaced by a robotic version of himself by the Disney Cooperation because he was revealing there dark and evil secrets. Over the run of the show he has made several catch phrases for himself. Two of my favorites are "with onions" and "Hamster Jelly" the latter being my signature for my cell phone for a while. So thats That Guy and all I can say is "There is no such thing as a stupid question until you ask it". So lets go from the upper class to the bottom of the barrel with a homeless person.

"OH MY GOD THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE." Ok its not a movie but it is another feature done by Doug Walker. This is Bum Reviews with Chester A Bum "Hurray!!!" Let us go find our homeless friend who might be living in anything from a fully furnished box to a pie.(he once lived in a pie, a can, and even Pepsi Bottle). He reviews newer movies that are usually the highest grossing for the weekend. He starte every movie bur one by saying it is the greatest movie he has ever seen in his life. He often talks about his drug use and sometimes mistakes movies as drug induced fantasies (Like Speed Racer, Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls and Hellboy 2). He also gets confused thinking he has lot things or he once was things (like a zombie or losing his legs). With that I am going to close out his section with his closing catch phrase "CHANGE YOU GOT ANY CHANGE AHH COME ON HELP A GUY OUT COME ON CHANGE" I need it to keep posting articles.

So this brings us to the moment you all have been waiting for the Nostalgia Critic. This is Doug's main character as well as the crowd favorite. He does just as his name says he criticizes nostalgic meterial from the 80's and 90's up until 2003 (which is his cut off date). He has done many great Tv Shows like Gargoyles and the Tick but also has had mentions of Freakazoid and Batman the Animated Series (the shows I have started watching since he mentioned them.) He usually does movies that are really bad including the infamous Batman and Robin as well as carp fests The Garbage Pail Kids and The Room (granted that was made in 2003.) He has made a number of really funny running jokes and catch phrases including "Elephant" (which causes the head of the Burger King to appear) "Chuck Norris" (Which causes a picture of Chuck Norris to show up in front of the American Flag with his name in red white and blue.) "Big Lipped Alligator Moment" (which has a big lipped Alligator to appear and something random to happen for no reason including random dancing and other things). There are also catch phrases that are from movies like "I was frozen today" from Suburban Commando actually getting Christopher Lloyd to say it when meting him. (He said it in the movie).

To me the NC's best stuff is his Top 11 list "Because I like to go one step beyond" so here are my Top 11 list of his top 11 lists.
#11: Scary Moments
#10: Saddest Nostalgic Moments
#9: Dirtiest Animaniacs Jokes
#8: Most Nostalgic Cartoons
#7: Under-Rated Nostalgic Movies
#6: Fu*k ups
#5: Christmas specials
#4: Coolest Cleshaes
#3: Villain Songs
#2: Cristipher Walken Moments
#1: Mindfucks

Now I love the Mindfucks one because it really does screw with your head. So many brain melting things happening in one video. From the trippy countdown sequence replacing the numbers with things like balloon piano and love as well as having a weird and crazy videos playing in the back ground. The back ground of the count down screen is one that actually creeps one of my friends out DW. The thing is over all freaky and weird and something I can really relate to.

Once again I love all of Doug's characters and watch him weekly. The Nostalgia Critic is my favorite set of videos but all of them are awesome. Especially when they do the massive crossovers like the TWTG team brawl and Kickassia seeing the Bum and That Guy in something that also has the Nostalgia Critic is just surreal. Now I want to leave you all with this message
