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

Should we make a thread for Fennah? It feels as if there's a possibility of him being a lolcow. Not only for the Bionicle shit, but for his Satellite City project. For fucks sake he made a Kivocukian oc that thinks the Bible is a joke story written by Lucy(the thing that looks like an albino gremlin)

Yeshua

Yeshua ran the largest music hall in the Underbirth. He is not on good terms with Ludwig. He's now a murder for hire?'"Kill everyone and burn the bodies, services?" Yeshua has nine tails along with four eyes, ears, and arms - in which the secondary set of aforementioned traits are slightly...

Doug and Rob actually both hate it, though Rob is more annoying blaming the movies faults on the fans

Rob is a fucking nut case if he actually thinks it's the fan's fault this trilogy turned out the way it did.

I tried watching the ancient Kickassia for the first time last night but all I could think of is how uncomfortable everyone must've been in crammed into that tiny hotel room.

I tried watching Kickassia about a month ago and going in with all of the knowledge of what's happened to the TGWTG crew in our current time period makes the movie way funnier then it should be.

Like watching any scene with Angry Joe (with his handling of the Dorito Pope Interview) and especially Spoony being the trainwreck we see him as today just adds in so many layers to that movie that never existed otherwise.

Doug, ever the trend chaser, has posted a Cats review.

 

[Sekirodiealot]

Holy shit i used to watch this dickhead back in 8th grade? Wow... never realized how outdated his review style is.

Talk about being a slow poke. I'm amazed it took him so long to review this movie after the fad of it being a Christmas movie just because the story is set on Christmas eve died off a few years ago.

If there's one positive at least he's no bearing his teeth in the thumbnail. That would be a Christmas terror.

That fucking add for HelloFresh, holy shit what is wrong with him how did that company approve this cringe for an add.

Word of mouth. People hear about just how cringeworthy the ad is, those curious check it out and see it, and then they too spread it to their friends. As the old saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Either that or HelloFresh will accept anyone that wants to hawk their products, regardless of what sort of controversy they've had in the past.

I'm surprised he's managed to bring in a decent amount of views every video. I guess catering to the algorithm works sometimes?

He made an ad for Stamps.com of just him looking at his computer screen doing idiotic charades level actions while a monologue played in the background. I don't think they advertisers care at this point since NC does reach a lot of people. Pretty sure that was also during the Wall review which pissed off even more people. I think most advertisers are okay with Doug being a fucking idiot since they're going to either watch the ad, or skip past it completely since he fits it in mid video.

You know when there's not enough nostalgic Christmas specials to cover that he has to do the classic Diehard review. Nostalgia Critic really sticking to his name embracing a dead fad and trying to still make it funny. When I saw a Diehard bluray cover make it a christmas sweater, I knew we already gone beyond the "SILENCE BRAND" level marketing techniques.

Doesn't help some of these advertisers think Doug can interest younger viewers in these things because let's think for a moment why would a site advertising stamps appeal to middle schoolers.

For a guy who's main gimmick is looking back at things we watched/did as a kid the dude has zero fucking clue, if he thinks stamps are gonna be a hot ticket.

It's as stupid as if like the AVGN started advertising a new line of abacuses.

Are you kidding me? James is both film genius and master marketer. Dude even has his own commercial videos he does for fun just for the fuck of it. He could sell us fucking dog shit and gamer bathwater and entertain us without even selling it or get bad publicity for it because he can pitch and entertain us.

Doug? Hahaha, no.

I wonder if he gets some decent money with these ads or are simply peanuts. It's not like CA is a big fish on the pond anymore.

Well at least it isn't another Raid: Shadow Legends

You know after looking through some of the other TGWTG lolcows (main threads or not) after so long I feel like you can pretty much label 7 of them as the Seven Deadly Sins. I'm not fully versed in the details of all them so if my connections are not the best feel free to quote me on it.

Doug: Envy for his lack of comedy and wanting to be a successful comedian, but fails horribly. Meanwhile James (who was seen as his equal for a while) has made leaps and bounds over him

Spoony: Sloth for his current trend of barely making any content and expecting people to pay for his all of shit through patreon.

JewWario: Lust for being a grooming pedophile, trying to keep his secrets under the rug for years.

Linkara: Pride for his entire reign as the Lightbringer and still holds his ego up way to high even today

Tony: Wrath for sperging like an autistic manchild over everything and constantly CAPS LOCKING in his twitter dms for emphasis on him yelling.

Angry Joe: Gluttony because the dude just can't help himself over shit. Constantly double dipping in game reviews and movie reviews when he can't even get either one right now.

and lastly Mike Michaud for Greed because of his entire wrangling of the NC and CA as a whole, especially with CTC showing his stuff in the open.

I only posted these guys because they're the ones I've looked over, though I do know Lindsey is just a SJW sperg and Lupa has just gone downhill her hateboner for CA.

Sounds about right. I’d add some things:

-James Rolfe and Doug Walker were probably equals, but you could also say that James was always better and he was just waiting to kick it in to high gear, depending on when you think the peak of the AVGN was.

-Linkara as pride fits even now because I’d say that he’s really painted himself as the man of the little producers on Twitter. Although given he’s a chameleon, don’t be surprised if he fits other categories.

-I’m not entirely sure why Angry Joe fits as gluttony. Game and movie reviews seem normal for his channel (and even his movie reviews are movie and spoiler discussion. Par for the course for YouTube.)

-You could make a case for Obscurus Lupa being either envy or wrath. Envy for seeing Brad as her better in their “field” of reviews (Z-grade/WTF/so bad it’s good films) and wrath for constantly seething at Doug and Brad and wishing for them to go bust and quit the internet and lose everything they’ve worked for in the name of karma. Doug for the role she feels he played in #ChangeTheChannel and Brad for sticking with Doug in Channel Awesome instead of letting CA go a few more percentage points closer to 100.00% destroyed .

aside from those thoughts, pretty accurate.
