TGWTG Eric Rodriguez / E-Rod2010 / The Blockbuster Buster - Edgy Nostalgia Critic Fanboy/Knockoff

[Judy's Baked Apple Pies]

I liked Angry Joe because he was passionate about video games. Behind his anger was a genuine love for the entire industry.

I never gave a shit about 99% of the creators because they were shitty Nostalgia Critic knockoffs to begin with. Channel Awesome should have picked better creators. I did like all of Doug's videos, Lindsay Ellis, Cinema Snob, Angry Joe, and Spoony.

It seemed like towards the end in the final years of the site they just let anybody in. They let Chris Stuckmann in despite his videos going against the rule of "Your videos need to be something beyond just talking to a camera" which is exactly what his videos are. Plus, he already had success on YouTube at that point so becoming a Channel Awesome member wasn't really necessary for him as being on site wasn't really gonna boost his numbers much higher.

Is that the same porn critic who showed Filmbrain a porno that caused him to throw up?

Pretty much. A lot of people left, and Doug wanted to bring in even more people than they'd already had, so they started opening the flood gates. In 2011 they told people not to bother applying as they already had a long list of people they were going to slowly add to the site. But then more and more people left and so they started to fill in the holes.

It was funny seeing Linkara's audio drama where he invited everyone who had ever been on the site to be in it, and then wrote them in even if they had nothing to do. There were so many people I'd either forgotten or never known were on there, like that HP Lovecraft reviewer who was supposed to be Lovecraft, it just highlighted how excessive the cast list really was.

I don't even remember who half of these fucks were, some are pretty recognizable though. I completely forgot that JonTron and PeanutButterGamer were on there for a short bit. I think that was before they both formed Normal Boots together. ReviewTechUSA was there for a bit too, I didn't even know that.

 

[The Haunted Mayonnaise]

I didn't even know this dude was still around. Thought he fell off the earth years ago. Always thought he was one of the weakest TGWTG contributors. As far as Great Value Nostalgia Critic clones go he's pretty bottom tier.

As far as lamest producer? Yeah probably. A lot of producers on that site I thought were lame as fuck though. Like, I never got the appeal of Angry Joe. I tried desperately to like his videos many times but something about him always got on my nerves. I'm amazed he got as big as he did, even surpassing Doug in popularity with his YouTube channel making him the most popular of the former contributors. I never liked The Lightbringer either. When I did go on the site the only people I cared for were Doug, Noah, Brad and Phelan. I couldn't give a fuck about anyone else. A lot of them I don't even remember the names of because towards the end of the site's run there were way too many fuckers to keep track of.

The only Channel Awesome producers I like are Todd in the Shadows, Phelous, The Nostalgia Critic, Guru Larry, MasakoX, and maybe The Cinema Snob. The rest are either completely inept or boring imo

Guru Larry is an absolute chad trying to be the last man standing before they shut the site down, love that bloke.

Never liked Larry. Insists upon himself. He made a living feuding with D-celebs on YouTube and sticking his nose in drama that he has zero business being involved in.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

do you think it's safe for us to label ERod as the lamest Channel Awesome producer? he definitely deserves that honor imo

Yeah like he is a Linkara ripoff though it is hilarious that his big grievance with the #ChangetheChannel document is not being a Gary Stu and saving the day with his magic hammer powers for the cancelled 10th anniversary

 

[The Cunting Death]

And that's just Channel Awesome proper. We’re not even getting into the knockoffs: Chez Apocalypse, Reviewtopia, the League of Super Critics...each somehow worse than the last. The Agony Booth tried pivoting to video then vanished behind a paywall no one asked for and no one uses. That one stung. Their Star Trek reviews were great. Then they swapped it all out for dudes in sunglasses doing “bits” with cigars and evil villain chairs. Bleak.

That's Dick Bush, the guy who made the baneposting porno from a decade ago. Funny dude.
