👓 TGWTG "Nostalgia Critic" / Doug Walker, Rob Walker, Mike Michaud, Mike Ellis, Holly Christine Brown, et al - The Incompetent Predator-Protecting Upper Management of Channel Awesome, Doug Still Not That Funny

[Icarus B. Nezzer]

The thing with rebranding & creating a new persona/YouTube channel is that it involves work. And Doug has never been too keen on the way 'work' thing, beyond doing what he has to turn out his usual content. The anniversary specials were largely run by/organized by people other than Doug because Doug just wanted to write & direct. Yes, a 'movie' is different from a YouTube channel, but the concept of abandoning his persona, his logo, his 'trademarks' (because a lot of that probably goes along with the IP), his shtick, his catchphrase...I could see him just thinking it's all too much work so he just sticks it out with Michaud. The devil you know beats the devil you don't.

I've seen enough "Making of" videos to still believe Doug's working as hard as he thinks he can. Several Nostalgia Critic episodes were recorded during conventions or when he was too sick to speak because weekly deadlines were that important to him. His workaholism was his downfall on several occasions. It's not an issue of having more work to do. Doug always thinks he can handle more work if it means more $$$. The only problem is that working outside of your brand usually means less $$$.

Watch as this bowl of autism makes a stand for Doug's cringe inducing sketches.

Bad english, awkward pauses, monotonous cadence, all while defending shit humour. Bravo.

Not to mention more jump cuts than an episode of Bum Reviews.

One thing good about The Stand review, was that he did ad for VPN in normal, strait up way. It was almost like James Rolfe does his, little introduction with a "I cant do this, but then I use this..." format, then he ends up apologizing (?!?!?!) for not doing his usual autistical way, and finishes the ad with random thing at the end...

...Because his audience would be disappointed?

Well to be fair, he is not a native english speaker and is German, but still autistic nonetheless.

If you’re presenting in a given language, learn how to pronounce things correctly and have a proper cadence, or find someone who speaks the fucking language!

Actually hes from Iceland

Hey, assholes, if you have issues with my videos you address them to me directly. You can't talk behind my back and expect to get away with it.

Fuck you.

 

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Fuck you.

The reason I have a problem with people talking behind my back instead of addressing me directly is because it's incredibly rude and uncalled for. I am open to criticism and take criticism into consideration all the time. So it's absolutely disgusting that people in this thread talked negatively about me behind my back. It's very rude, simple as that.

I don't mind negative feedback, but at the very least address them to me directly.

You know I find it funny that instead of arguing with any of the points I made in the videoyou instead nitpick over minor things that don't matter. It shows you have no actual arguments.

Pretty sure this is bait from a smurf account.

Doug's stealing your thunder again brad

Actually you'd be surprised, despite being Icelandic I'm far better at English than my mother language. In fact when I have conversations in Icelandic I have trouble knowing what to say, but not when speaking in English.

Either it's bait from a pathetic attention whore or he was retarded enough to do this, given how no one cares about him, he is real and being a retard.

No one cares about me? Is that why I get positive comments on many of my videos almost every day? Yeah your point that no one cares about me is factually wrong. Also I don't see how defending myself from when someone does something terrible to me makes me retarded in any way. It is incredibly rude and uncalled for to talk negatively about me behind my back. That's why I needed to say that it was uncalled for, because it really is.

Allow me to rebut your argument.


Fuck your Grandpa, fuck your Daddy, and especially, FUCK YOU.

If you get so many positive comments that show people care for you (Note: I was referring to people who want to actively make fun of you to a high degree to LARP as you), then why bother getting defensive on a random forum that is niche to most of the Internet making fun of you, and it won't accomplish shit since this website exists to observe and laugh at exceptional people just like you, and you are giving more material.

Yeah, you're right, it's best to step away from this thread. I already made my point, so I'm gonna stop replying here. But still though my point that it's rude and uncalled for to talk negatively behind my back is still valid.
