doug won
If you need to keep saying it, he lost.
>he lost
He really did. His audience has dwindled to a handful of aging boomers who have been watching him since the days of dial-up internet.
No. He won. And he still gets over 200k views on his videos. How many views do you get basement dweller?
AVGN gets more views, even on his latest abysmal video. He actually won, no matter what people say about his hairline and lack of time.
He survived a cancelation attempt unscathed and he’s the only YouTuber on the site anymore who
>Didn’t fully sell out to daddy algorithm/trends
>Didn’t fall off the face of the Earth because the site sucks gigantic chode now
He just does what he loves because he loves doing it. Not saying his videos are top quality but I’m giving him respect where it’s due.
>He just does what he loves because he loves doing it
no, he tried to kill off the Critic in past so that hr could start making comedy show.
It just never worked because he isn't funny
he doesnt write any of his own videos and hasnt for years. he absolutely sold out
There's something to be said for his work ethic, but you shouldn't get 'respect' for just robotically doing the same content for almost 2 decades without ever improving. He's mostly avoided the risks of bandwagon-jumping but he's had none of the benefits of meaningfully trying anything new.
>He just does what he loves because he loves doing it.
I mean, he literally tried killing the character and was forced back into it because none of his other series worked. He clearly doesn't love being the Critic.
I wouldn't call it 'unscathed'
You lost again
>drinking dragon's cum
ugh gay
>Dragon's Milk RESERVE
>Oatmeal Cookie
Won what? The hair-having competition?
Man that beer is literally:
>REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER EXTREME PRE-WORKOUT MIX
>Tuttu frutti flavor
>2024
>people are still parodying the Nostalgia critic
Kek, shut the frick up. He won.
Soft "sci-fi" is cringe and reddit.
Yeah, but if he plays his iconic guitar intro I can't help but agree with him.
Have I watched him in the past 6 years? no. doesn't change the fact he's the best movie reviewer.
Going trough the plot of a movie while making quips (or cringe cutaway gags) is not actually reviewing though.
True, but reviewing films/TV has always been a vastly overrated "skill". It's treated like it's some kind of important and mysterious science, but really it just boils down to saying whether you like something or not, and the reasons why (which are invariably pretty obvious). Being engaging and funny (Spoony was the master at this) is infinitely harder and more valuable IMO.
t. someone who was friends with a film critic, and has done both types of "reviews"
(I'd add that these days, most "critics" can't even be honest about whether they like stuff, since it's almost all shit. Or - if they're fully on board with the anti-whiteness etc - why they like it/are pretending to like it.)
You were still watching NC in 2017?
Try 2012. What finally did it for you?
He was entertaining, until he grew too big and hired unhinged liberals.
Correct, idk why Doug thinks he's not funny on his own.
He wanted to make movies
>The 14 fingered aliens use base-10 digit counting
a Bat CREDIT CARD?!
Is Doug still the most successful of the CA crew?
Well it's down to him and Angry Joe
>mfw the sci fi/fantasy film universe doesn’t follow the same logic and rules as earth
you mean.. like Event Horizon? not many films like that
>mfw it looks like vegas
The Wall review by Nostalgia Critic wasn't very good, okay?
He tried his best but he totally failed, that's okay!
Is it normal that I miss the internet that I wasn't much around for?
Like nowadays everything is so shallow and soulless and fragmented. I mean I gues internet in the old days was fragmented too, but it was striving to come together, while noe it is drifting more and more apart.

>Zoomer
What year were you born? I feel like there’s this small subset of zoomers who have millennial runoff in them and can vaguely remember pre-iPhone times.
1998. I basically got my first MODERN PC in 2008, and got on the internet a lot in 2010.
You missed the best part but you still experience about 2 or 3 years of not-fully-pozzed Internet.
I really miss the 2008-2012 years of gaming and internet culture. Everything was so exciting and comfy.
That's funny because I felt gaming went into the shitter after 2007. A shift to console FPS games with heavy aim assist and cinematic stories with unskippable setpieces made me hate games. I just want to go back to arcade style Dreamcast games with less hardware limitations.
>666
Damn Satan, okay.
I guess we all have our own percieved comfy periods.
I remember playing dragon age origins in the fall of 2009, even though my shitty family were arguing like morons all the rime, I remember a lot of comfy evenings spent with this game.
Same but I was using the internet from about 2006. Definitely watched a lot of Nostalgia Critic between 2012-2014.
You still had plenty of sellout vapid shit and ethically questionable stuff like iJustine, RayWilliamJohnson, ShayCarl etc., it's just that people mostly remember the good stuff.
Even that was later down the line during the iPhone rise.
I'm (probably a lot) older than you, but I basically missed that whole era too, and I feel kind of the same. Talked about it a bit in a Spoony video I did last year: https://youtu.be/Hgl9Lrd-bX0
Holy shit. You're here again. I said you looked 40 and you said it was a compliment.
It was probably a /trek/ thread.
Probably. And I've probably been spending too much time here lately 🙂
That's Neil deGrasse Tyson's whole career. Making statements that nobody with room temperature IQ asked about.
The great Iron Liz.
can someone explain this gay to me and what's his appeal?
how does anyone find him and his band of cringey morons entertaining?
all of his skits and fricking shit and there's no 'charm' behind them. even with the frick awful production values if that's suppose to give off that kind of illusion.
He's from an older era of Internet and the majority of his fanbase are people from that time who just stuck around. Also it's essentially a friend simulator where you get commentary on a movie you may remember fondly or otherwise want to talk about. Even his fans don't like the skits, but Doug insists on them so they just put up with it.
Most of us watched him when we were like 12 - I wouldn't even know half the movies I did at the time if it wasn't for him. It's like having an old daft grandparent who you love but don't take seriously.
he pioneered youtube hate reviews for nerds
He's TikTok humor from the 2010s. A lot of the skits I see scream Nostalgia Critic to me.
RedCowArcade made this observation.
It would be a better world if Doug was a litigious butthole and copyrighted that style of video.
Great work ethic, that Linkara.
Just because it doesnt follow our rules it doesnt mean it can just not have rules at all. And rules for a universe need to be actually considered in all their applications, including how they would affect the 'normal', related to the plot or you're not actually telling a story with consequences but just making shit up.
Dorks who obsess over rules and logic in films are missing the point of films
Whenever people say this they're the same people who cry over Margot Robbie's Birds of Kino because Black Canary had unrealistic power applications.
>Margot Robbie's Birds of Kino
Oh wow. I just looked it up. I had no idea barbie b***h was also joker bawdface.
This is like finding out that Walter White was played by Malcolm in the Middle's dad.
i felt less bad about being a short-sighted dunce when i realized this is who i'd probably be if i was smarter
my quality of life would still probably improve but i'd hate to be that guy
