What are Doug's greatest bits?
that i'm fucking gay
>tfw I've been watching TGWTG weekly since early 2008 when he only had 1-2 vids up.
>tfw I saw Nostalgia Chick and Angry Joe before they went on to other bigger things
>tfw I remember when Jesuotaku and that comedians son weren't trannies
>tfw I remember belly laughing at NC's antics in 2008-2009 like when he trolled harry potter fans
>tfw I remember when he started getting too big for his britches, around the time of Suburbian Knights
>tfw his production values went up but the charm was lost
>tfw other, newer youtubers started doing his shit better
>tfw To Boldly Flee was self-satisfied shit but hey everyone makes mistakes
>tfw He announced a new series and that TGWTG would become a high-production value "channel" with loads of different new shows and personalities!
>tfw I saw the writing on the wall but kept watching
>tfw he releases Demo Reel #1
>tfw you remember what the TGWTG boards were like the day Demo Reel #1 came out and were there to take part in the mockery/shitposting
>tfw TGWTG pretended nothing was wrong for a few weeks and kept with demo reel
>tfw he eventually resorted to damage control and brought back NC
>tfw all his other big names have been jumping ship, dying, or getting sex changes. Now it's just Doug and his unfunny paid extras
>tfw NC is still haunted by the ghost of Demo Reel with unfunny skits/extras and taking itself too seriously
>tfw in his death throes Doug has tried to latch onto SJWisms and other, newer, but far more popular reviewers like Chris Stuckmann and RLM
>tfw he still gives that same empty, sad smile that hes been giving since around 2011
>tfw I still watch him each week as I have for almost a decade now
Fuck man I feel you, but what were the demo reels? I never saw them.
>tfw still liked all his specials / movies like kickassia
>tfw loved the avgn fights and crossovers
>tfw lost my shit when he had bants with angry joe, linkara and others
:(
>Doug has tried to latch onto SJWisms and other, newer, but far more popular reviewers like Chris Stuckmann and RLM
>RLM
Please don't associate Doug with Red Letter Media. They're completely unaffiliated.
>specials / movies like kickassia
So well written.
Never said it was well written it just had a place in my heart
I understand. Just wanted an excuse to post his horribly formatted script.
>Doug has tried to latch onto RLM
please no
>and that comedians son weren't trannies
Wait, Colin Mochrie's kid is trans now?
He mentions them a lot but they don't respond with him
Doug did a similar thing even in his heyday with AVGN but it didn't wreak quite of desperation given the two had similar sized fanbases back then.
>He mentions them a lot
Sauce. Timestamps.
When did he mention rlm, out of curiosity?
By the way for the AVGN guys in here, did any of you get really weirded out in his latest video where he practically sponsors linkaras power rangers reviews? Shit felt wrong. Good video nonetheless
...
I'm gonna fuck your ass in many different ways
It just baffles me. Luke and JO never showed any signs of acting like the opposite gender, then boom all of the sudden they're trans. Maybe I'm simply ignorant on how it all works, but I don't get how someone can go from acting like a normal man/woman to being trans in a year.
He mentions the Plinkett Reviews in a top 11 list about Star Wars or something, and said that rlm did a better job covering the prequels then he ever could. Obviously sucking their dicks for a(hopeful) collab
It's trendy now. Whereas something like 0.01% of people identified as transsexual 10 years ago the number is more 1 in 4 now among youth 12-25
He probably just knew the nasty cockslut knew a lot about Power Rangers and wanted to give him a shoutout for old time's sake. Probably went to his videos for an overview of his own volition.
>JO never showed any signs of acting like the opposite gender
She never had to. It was obvious to everyone that she was a man.
So, how do you feel that almost every old e-celeb is either dead (like spoony) or turned to complete shit (like nolstalgia critic)?
Are all the new e-celebs worse or better than these old guys? Were the old e-celebs bad but we never realised it until now, or do they still hold up?
Are times a-changing for better or for worse?
Is Spoony dead in a metaphorical sense, or did his liver finally give out?
AVGN was there before even NC and still has his shit together
Metaphorical, he's still alive.
>check his site
>only four videos in 2016
Jesus.
Depends on where you look when you say e-celebs now, but yeah. Think about it like this, 10 years ago Fred was the most popular on YouTube, now it's Pewdiepie. Generally all of the "I get mad at video games and movies" reviewers were always bad, AVGN, and Douges older videos being an exception
>Fred
Oh man I forgot that was a thing. Don't even know how he got popular with that dumb fucking voice.
It was because "le funny high pitched retard" was hilarious to kids.
Even Fred himself fucking hated fred and only did his fred trilogy for money.
I used to fucking guffaw at Fred, wow. He's just a relic now.
The guy who made Fred videos, Lucas, is still active and he has a sizable following, but he's just another one of those gay Youtubers now.
Watching the whole rise and fall from well before the first anniversary was pretty wild. Fuck, I remember That Aussie Guy, who did reviews with his mom and disappeared along with all his content after first anniversary special.
>Even Fred himself fucking hated fred
It's funny seeing e-celebs grow up and still having to pander to their underage fanbase.
In the case of Pewdiepie, you can almost see him die inside when he has to do his cringeworthy high-pitched introduction.
Don't recall him. Remember that fat fuck Sean Fauz, though?
It's like how Foamy the Squirrel got popular despite being some old Goth's retarded rants. Kids think high pitched voices are funnee
He also has a gay little brother with a hideous speech impediment.
I remember liking JO's reviews but she was like this horrible amalgamation of Christfag and SJW, same with Linkara. How the hell does that even happen?
>That Aussie Guy, who did reviews with his mom and disappeared along with all his content after first anniversary special.
You why he actually left? He was a Mormon and he had to go be a missionary. Seriously.
Wait, are we talking about Dude in the Suede?
Yes, and I remember the way he pronounce epitome in some Top 10 Movie Badasses video. Is he even alive still? I know they kicked him out because his lifestyle was so disgusting.
No, I don't mean Suede. I mean the guy who was literally called That Aussie Guy. Suede was from New Zealand.
He had a heart attack a couple years ago, but I don't have any current info.
Who was that guy whose whole schtick was being still images? And then in Kickassia they brought him into the 3-d world.
Religious family + tumblr (or for Linkara, dickgirl porn forums).
>Sean Fauz
I remember one time on a podcast Angry Joe, Paw, and some other guys were making fun of him for being fat. It went on for a really long time, and when they finally moved on, the topic somehow turned to wrestling, and Joe and Paw and some other guy I can't remember were describing what a wrestling match between them would be like, and then one of them said, "We left Sean out of the story", and then someone said, "Actually, he was in it. He was the ring."
Lee. He did a lot of stuff with that girl who escaped Channel Awesome and went to work for the Jim Henson Company.
That's some pretty good bantz.
Oh shit I forgot about that guy, and what his gimmick was. I remember in the movie during the fight they just had him punching the air in front of the camera, that's when I felt embarrassed by watching it
Lee from Still Gaming.
Had his own theme song and everything. This thread hasn't been going for very long but I've already surprised myself several times with how much I remember off the top of my head.
Remember when Spoony used to actually be somewhat handsome?
Those pokemon movie videos were kinda comfy till JewWario killed himself.
It feels weird actually getting nostalgic over this crap.
All I can think of is him chaining women in his basement
Oh that's right, he shot himself in the bathroom while his wife pleaded with him on the other side of the door. Talk about morbid.
It's like I'm 14 again. Remember when Angry Joe confronted Geoff Keighley at the Spike Video Game Awards? That was six years ago man.
I recently rediscovered the Familiar Faces guy who I remember from the early days of TGWTG. It's awkward as fuck when he constantly references all these old ass CA people who aren't even there. It's sad cause I like his videos on obscure cartoon characters but all he does now is post a hundred Overwatch streams a day.
why'd he do that again
...
Just mental illness I suppose. There's not always a real reason why people do these things.
Just had severe depression I guess. No real reason because by all accounts everyone there loved him and he had a decently sized fanbase. Some people you just can't reach
Irare Gamer is a ghost hunter now. Wonder if he can track down JewWario's spirit.
That was a joke in poor taste, but Christ the backlash was crazy. Who was that thundercunt that crucified him?
It was never really explained, but the last videos he did he looked like he had been going through some shit. It was fucking weird how the Irate Gamer said he's basically burning in Hell though
MY KIDS COULDA GOT POSSESSED
isn't it a thing that you go to hell if you commit suicide?
>AVGN ripoff pictured with Pawn Stars rip off
It's like poetry
That was Lupa. As I recall, JesuOtaku didn't make that big a deal of it. Just said she didn't like the joke, so Spoony said he was sorry. Then like, a month later, Lupa decided that wasn't enough and complained to the point Doug had to drop Spoony.
Phelous and Lupa gave him the most shit at first but then it went away.
Until LordKat pulled it back up and the cycle started over.
Yeah but I always felt that was bullshit. Purgatory, sure, but Hell is overdoing it.
Never really explicitly in the Bible. Some people believe it though. Christians don't believe in ghosts though, so I don't know where Chris gets it.
Yeah but I think you get purgatory which is considered like, an extension of hell that doesn't actually have punishment.
I thought that was more a product of Dante's Inferno, aka the world's first self-insert fanfiction.
>Phelous
He had the most annoying voice. Just trying way too hard.
can someone pretty religious explain purgatory to me? from what I gather its a void, but are there other people there? can you talk to them? are you stuck there forever?
Six years? Time flies. I remember siding with Joe, but now looking back he made a complete ass of himself.
Only Catholics believe in it. Protestants only believe in Heaven and Hell. That's as detailed as I can confidently get.
Now take that and stretch it out over ten minutes. How do these people get popular, again?
>Used to unironically like Linkara
Kill me. Also I had forgotten about this gold.
Some interpretations of the afterlife in Christian faith don't even have you retaining a sense of self or memory. It's not a permanent meet and greet for eternity.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMM
...
Remember Spoony and Joe at E3 that one year with Spoony going full REEEEEEEEEEE over the X-com shooter? That's cringetastic. Also the exact moment he could never get a real games journo job ever. He embarrassed the entire site.
From what I remember of Sunday school, basically this
There are other people there, it's not supposed to be an awful place like Hell is, but everyone is wanting to escape, like something is missing from them
That's it? He didn't even change his hair. It's just lipstick and a dress.
Honestly man, it was hilarious, bizarre, and being there for the happening was amazing, but at the end of the day it's just a weird fetish. Most of us here have them. On it's own it wouldn't have been much, but combined with him dating a transexual basically made it look like all his SJW sensibilities came from his fetishes.
BETRAYAL!!!!!
>but everyone is wanting to escape, like something is missing from them
so it's just like real life then
>we've all already died and this is purgatory
Save me, Jesus.
I think it was most shocking because he was a total tee totaling christfag. Looking back its not so weird because he's changed but his original persona was way more conservative. Maybe I'm off base though because I had stopped watching them long before this stuff came out
I like armpits, but you don't see me roleplaying armpit licking on a dedicated forum.
is it roz or raysh
To his credit, the game did end up sucking hard.
>Also the exact moment he could never get a real games journo job ever. He embarrassed the entire site.
But he interviewed the Enemy Unknown devs afterwards and they all laughed about it. LordKat was just being a dramaqueen.
Will that be true for e celebs today? Will they fade away as the wheels of time turn?
The only opportunity Spoony had outside of collabs was going on Myth Busters they reached out to e-celebs, and he fucked that up by sending his audition tape playing as his Dr. Insano character
What started the whole feud between Spoony and LordKat? They had that fun Pumpkinhead collaboration.
Everything he has ever uploaded is an embarrassment.
How's that functional autism treating you?
>1 in 4 now among youth 12-25
