It's been roughly a year since I've seen any of his episodes.

Stupid critic that doesn't really review films. At the end he just tacks on "I liked it/ I didn't like it."

His Garfield 2 review was good. Not great, but good...

Are we doing the Supervillain shuffle?

Stop pretending anybody knows/cares who this faggot is

>No such thing as a bad or good film, only ones you like or don't like

Good lord.

the only people who like him are the socially awkward and young

>DUDE I SHOUT HYSTERICALLY AT THE CAMERA FOR 10 MINUTES STRAIGHT LMAO

pkwy calle

Well that's actually true. With any arts or entertainment, there's virtually none that are objective good or bad. But rather the opinion of such. To believe otherwise smacks of false consensus.

All reviewers should be executed.

>buys high production value equipment
>episodes still look like shit

Why would he let all that equipment he bought just catch dust?

Money can't buy you talent

>works as a critic
>There is no bad film

Why did latza have to take all the money and run

Amateur hour's over.
Not talking about the master of autism, hmm?

Who, Tvtropes or linkara?

Thats honestly a difficult question.
Even considering the view sharing deal they have, the sheer quantity of TGWTG shit on tvtropes beggars belief

>That everything

Didn't Doug try to start a 'feud' with Red Letter Media like he 'did' with AVGN?

It's difficult to track down the evidence, since he deleted it very quickly.
IIRC, it was over them getting on an Honest trailer video over him. I assume he's been trying to get on and been told to fuck off.

And I remember Jay saying that TGWTG is cringe as fuck

When did he say that?

I know for sure that on the RLM forums, Jay was shown Sibling Rivalry (Doug and his brother's review show), and he said something like, "Why is everything technical in this video wrong?"

It's also worth mentioning that soon after that he made a "Top 11 best things about the Star Wars Prequels," so make of that what you will.

WE'RE NOT DOING THE SUPERVILLIAN SHUFFLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Link to that?

managed to do a segment on Mac Tonite for one of the commercials videos without making any KKK or vaporwave jokes so he gets a little bit of respect in my book. other than that, not a fan.

>remember; this is what Doug quit NC for, because it's what he REALLY wanted to do.

I still watch his stuff, but there are definitely better reviewers.
Phelous>Cinema Snob>Some Jerk with a Camera>Nostalgia Critic

He's amusing but I'm not going to get out the big bucket of popcorn until he starts reviewing Classic John Hughes.

The chick is better.

Post the tropers tales

That autism can't be handled by any sane man

>implying Sup Forums is sane
post them you coward

Did we ever get anything else from demo reel or was it just this?

What's worse, the parody isn't even original:
youtube.com/watch?v=8_zV8XA8zKU

They literally took Spoonbank's parody of Fresh Prince and inserted other Supervillains from the Nolan movies.

stopped enjoying anything from him or his cronies when I turned 15, which would've been 2010

Actually, come to think of it; why HASN'T he reviewed more 80s movies?

Because his audience is getting younger so in order to please them he has to review recently released movies and "nostalgic" shit from the 2000s.

it was one thing when he was going for nostalgia with people his same age but it's going to be awkward when he's nearly 50 and he's still going for the teen crowd.

God damn it Doug. Every time i go into one of these threads lose more and more respect for the fag.

His success was entirely derived from people wanting to watch the "so bad it's good" movies he would feature.

>reviews long enough to feature every prominent plot point and silly moment ripped straight from the movie
>only jokes are overreactions towards moments from the movie
>his presence and comments throughout act as a kind of "friend simulator" like current reaction channels so that people watching this bad movie don't feel so lonely
>when branching off and doing more sketches his content becomes exponentially less entertaining until it's clear he was bolstered entirely by the films themselves

I would argue RLM's Best of the Worst is the same though I would also argue that show is aided by the banter of the cast and real world film experience of those on the panel to produce informed critique of the movies. Doug on the other hand is nothing without these "so bad they're good" movies and his videos without that guise only exposes him as cringingly unfunny and uneducated on topics surrounding film.

I know I'm preaching to a choir but I thought I'd articular fully why exactly it appears as though he has progressive become less funny over time, because he was never funny to begin with. Good "old Doug" content was just showing silly movies to a near plagiarism extent and making easy jokes at low hanging fruit to people too emotionally stunted to watch a bad movie by themselves and enjoy it (which I think most of us were when we were younger if we're honest)

There were like 6 episodes

I'M RHAS AL-GHUL AND I'M HERE TO SAY

...

THIS GREEN SCREEN COST ME $200K

A-A-R-D-V-A-R-K

I watched because of the nostalgia and the riffing was fun, look back now and it's unwatchable. He's a one-trick pony.

btw he can't do this forever, douge suicide when?

He is the definition of JUST on youtube.

Reviews are very hit and miss. I like it best when the movies are properly bad and really deserve being made fun of. When he just does an average or even good movie and nitpicks it to death, and especially when he dislikes something because of something he misunderstood, it just gets cringe worthy. The new movie reviews where they re-enact the movie are the absolute worst.

What I enjoyed most was probably his Avatar vlogs. Those were kinda comfy until he started bringing his brother along.

he has his moments but like 90% of his reviews are unwatchable shit and awful sketches

post that group photo where it's literally the ugliest human beings anyone has ever seen

I don't think a group photo of Sup Forums anons exists though.

>trashing yourself

nu-male spotted

someone please post high res version

How would he review something like the Goldbergs?

At like 2009/10-ish, TGWTG.com was a great site. Spoony hadn't gone bananas yet, JewWario was still around and Doug made actual reviews with no shitty skits with the two idiots in it. And Kickassia and Specials like that were around and were fun. I wouldn't have paid money to see them, but they were enjoyable enough. Oh and Nostalgia Chick made fun videos too. Also Cinema Snob was on point most of the time.

Then Spoony left, JewWario died, they tried their videogames site and while it was fun at first, it flopped pretty hard pretty quickly. Nostalgia Critic got "killed", he made utter shite, he brought back Nostalgia Critic. BUT he added all the shite he had in the meantime like the two rather unfunny "actors". For me the final nail in the coffin for the whole Channel Awesome thing was the namechange. The new site has none of the "amateur-but-heartfelt" charme of the old one and it looks just like any other, just without all or most of the talent that made the old site fun.

I'm amazed in an age of RLM that they are still around. RLM does basically the same thing, just better in every way.

I have almost the same time without watching his videos.

Last video i saw complete was Labyrinth or Spawn.

Its not bad, its just that i don't know...i've grown up or matured? i find it really cryingy now.

I want to see his videos, but i don't know if its the way he make them now, the cast or simply the jokes and his voice.

I do like and enjoy his first reviews, just him with his camera, shit i remember his "editorial" videos being pretty damn good.

I think you got a point, I don't think he changed much or at all, but I outgrew that style. I enjoyed it for 2-3 years, but I've now seen it.

Same with AVGN. I found him too late. In 08/09, it might've been funny. But now, with all the over-the-top gross humor and the weird skits and everything is the worst and hell... I think I'm a bit too old for that stuff now. The movie looked like the worst piece of nonsense ever to me, in 08... who knows?

Things need to adapt and evolve while staying the same at the core to not lose the fanbase... That's fucking hard, big channels and shows fail at that. From my perspective, Channel Awesome and AVGN both fail at that.

>That greentext
I have never read something more true

Does someone have a link to that a-randomly chosen-Sup Forums-poster-would-literally-be-likely-to-write-something-funnier tier multicrossover where they bid on something?
I was gonna say at least Ross is technically a part of them but I checked and he has left. Probably felt embarrassed.

>Things need to adapt and evolve while staying the same at the core to not lose the fanbase.

But if they aren't losing the fanbase and are still making $$$$$$$, why would they ever change?

I like his reviews, but what I really hate are the skits, they're all dragged out, unnecessary, too long and not funny. There's some skit-less edits online that's up to 10 minutes shorter than the official upload

The last review I saw was Jurassic World. That was when he started doing the entire review as nothing but sketches. I get that he did it for legal reasons, but I was waiting the entire fucking time to laugh even once and I never did. It made me disappointed in my younger self because I was wondering if I was wrong for liking him at one point, and I haven't gone back to his old NC reviews since. I watched a couple of his out of character reviews and he seems ok though.

kek

Whatever happened to her? And why would Doug replace her with that fat girl for those unfunny sketches?

she left because opportunities opened up somewhere else, i don't know what they were.

ARE they still making bank? By the look of the people still associated with them and the anyone who gets any kind of success leaving immediately... I have my doubts.

I'm not saying they can barely pay the electricity bill, but they also have way more costs than they used to before having a "studio" and ""actors" to pay. Also bing paid way more per view than youtube ever will. One of the reasons they went belly-up I'm sure....

>being this new

obviously talking about blip... bing is also a bad website, but MS won't let it die anytime soon.

Forget that guy, listen to THIS.

Have any of you heard of Midnight's Edge? This guy provides some of the most comprehensive analytical commentary on the film industry and the behind-the-scenes influences companies exert on a project. It's really interesting stuff.

He just needs to do more content.


whoopsie daisy, forgot to mention it's a youtube channel.

These guys are pretty based, been following them since the Ghostbusters clusterfuck.

Likewise. Shame they upload slowly.

He needs to brush his teeth

I honestly still think his comment on Spider-Man is accurate even if Linkara is absolute autism

Insufferably arrogant

And i find his teeth off putting

post your favorite reviews
youtube.com/watch?v=NQm7hNz9DGQ

Can someone give me the quick rundown on him?

Doug Sucks, but Eggkara is Sup Forums's beat community

Movienight when?

Awful, very grating personality, very little depth to his opinions.

I still don't understand how he went into Demo Reel.

>have a successful online show that has lasted for years
>decide to cancel it and "move on" having blind faith whatever you do next will be just as profitable
>don't even bother to create a fucking PILOT episode for your new show
>surprised your old audience doesn't like it
>you're also stuck with contracted employees and new studio you can't afford anymore

>eggkara
into the trash

Hey anons what do you think of my new hat?

I'M GONNA NEED TO COMMANDEER THIS THREAD

Every night.

Impressive digits in this thread.

no trips though

what did he delete exactly? Did Doug seriously try to do it on a public forum?

Literally the first post in the thread got trips.
Also this one
Also you got dubs too. Eggkara meme magic confirmed.

Where is he now?

Can somebody give me a rundown on this guy. Not up to date on my eCeleb stuff

Wait, there's people that didn't know this?

To be honest, spoony's version isn't half bad

I can't hate the guy. His old reviews are at least comfy to watch, but holy fucking bollocks he needs to stop with the skits, they are just awful.

spoonys patreon just dipped below 1K

It's the end of the spoony.

Still a miracle anyone gives him a single dollar

I was pretty obsessed with this whole e-reviewer thing a while ago.

Blip being killed ended it for me.
