That won’t be the last time Doug Walker will talk about the Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald’s. I am stunned the creepypasta community back in the day didn’t touch this series. I am waiting for the hacks in the analog horror community to milk this series. Weird uncanny valley with the character designs.

Video description:
Channel Awesome was a coalition of internet critics in the early days of YouTube. With Doug Walker standing at the front, they dominated the internet movie analysis landscape. While many of these critics either evolved, like Lindsay Ellis and Linkara

Not watching that video since these comments alone give me red flags

Honestly I'd give a pass to Lindsay Ellis since she did set herself apart from Doug and actually made her own following, granted she has her own failures, but she still is more popular than she was the Nostalgia Chick.

But fucking Linkara as an improved talented critic?! The guy whose content is just him reading a comic book but making snarky comments here and there, and preaching on a non-existent soapbox. The most innovative content he has done is making a crappy ARG about evil snowmen. Linkara also has not changed his content since Lindsay and Doug at least both changed their content and grew up, Linkara didn't change at all beyond trying to be more "woke".

Anyway I guess a broken clock can be right since there was this too

My favorite bit is the first one where he says Lewis is a reviewer first and comedian second.

No. He's neither one of those things. Uncle Linky doesn't review shit. He riffs comic books and reads selected panels from them then turns to the camera, makes a lame joke or commentary on it and moves onto the next panel. That's not being a reviewer. A reviewer actually TALKS about the comic itself. It's influence, the art, the meaning behind the pages and so on. Lewis does none of that. Or maybe the term "reviewer" has been so watered down that it no longer means anything.

It's true that Channel Awesome reviewers got popular not because they had an actual talent at analyzing media or articulating themselves, and more because they were the first. Doug was able to sell the Nostalgia Critic as "AVGN but with movies," and Linkara was able to sell himself as "angry reviewer but with comic books." If Linkara came out today, he wouldn't have an audience since Internet criticism has gotten much better. Personally, once I discovered RedLetterMedia and Mr. Plinkett, I never looked back from Doug, aside from, ocassional and ironic, nostalgia.

With that said: this is a really gay title with a gay thumbnail so I won't be watching.
