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

[Carlos Thin]

Dead mom joke at the beginning. Jesus Doug didn't think you had it in you to do it.

Did he have the balls to do a dead voice actor joke?

 

[Foltest]

land before time is very special for me.
Spicy of him to do a dead mother joke.

I also had a Nostalgia Critic related dream once, but it had some disturbing implications so it's a long story for another day.

Is there a fapfic in the wild about it?

That's pretty shitty of him, considering his own mother died.

If anything, that gives him all the rights to make it. That’s how it works, right?

It was a joke about his own mom.

Doug is always talking about how his favorite kind of humor tends to be a bit more mean than the typical type. Making the joke fits pretty well for him.

 

[Carlos Thin]

You guys sound like he made a dead baby joke. It was a simple cut “op my mom’s dead.”

And don't folks think that makes him a hack?

Eh, Dead baby jokes don’t really have much weight to them anyway. Too easy to toss out.

I’d assume Twitter would “totally” “ratio” Doug “to oblivion” if he made a dead baby joke these days

They’d do that regardless if they saw him on that website. The prompt is irrelevant.

The Dead Mom joke.

Man of the people.

The Dead Mom joke.

To me what made the mom joke work was how sober the introduction of the video was, talking about the brainfog and it's effects on his work, so when the joke comes it catches you off guard. It really elevated the bit.
Edit: typo

He reviewed the Sean Connery Dragon movie.

People have said as a derogatory statement that doug should be an inspiration to any creative, that he could have barely any talent and still be so successful. But I think that genuinely makes me look up to him.

There are mountains of people that were far more talented than doug, that could accomplish more than him outright.

And those people live six feet under. Not even there for a fraction of the time doug has stayed around.

I remember ding dong from oneyplays, who would shit on doug when brought up, and seemed to have a sense of superiority. But in the end, ding dong is known for a let's play channel, barely has anything on his main channel, and has a game stuck in perpetual development hell.

Doug was never all that good at what he did, and simply didn't have the ability to do better. But despite that, he was able to find the one thing he did do well, capitalize on it, and then keep that success by simply being consistent. Him only losing the blessings of the algorithm after fifteen fucking years is a testament to that. I have had countless YouTubers I watch grow, peak and die within a fraction of that time.

It actually sends a powerful message, that even if you cannot be the mort creative, the most artistically skilled, or the most talent person, you can still make it by maintaining consistency, putting in the hours, and keeping your nose out of the dirt pile.

Despite doing the caustic critic schtick, I've never seen Doug being malicious. It's endearing on its own and I guess there's no resentment there so he has no problems chugging on with whatever meager career he has.

 

[Foltest]

Unlike most of the channel autism people, Doug have always come across as being normal.
He separates his character from himself.

But twitter loves killing babies

The Dead Mom joke.
