👓 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

He has to do Spy Kids 2 now just to comment on the Steve Buscemi quote

Not sure if this is where the quote originated from, but it’s freaking hilarious it’s in Spy Kids 2 of all things.

Say what you want about Doug Walker. He has a better understanding of meme culture and didn't shill shit like Star Wars acolytes to own the chuds. Mind you Doug Walker politically is no conservative. Unlike modern red letter media. The last wheel of the worst was the most boring video RLM done in years. All the red letter media does now is bitch about bad movie going experiences and people not going to the movies. Now they are bitching about zoomers going to see the minecraft movie and the chicken jockey meme getting people to return to movie theaters. Channel awesome finally surpassed Red Letter Media. Sick of pretending otherwise.

RLM picking fights with other content creators over the Acolyte made me unsub from their channel (yeah, I get it: They apologized to Star Wars Theory, but I thought they were above this shit to begin with). Haven't watched a video of theirs since. It was such a turnoff for me, and I keep reading from others that their content is just going through the motions at this point.

Meanwhile, the Chad Doug Walker just does his own thing, minds his own business, and constantly tells his audience "thank you" and "I'm so lucky to be making a living off making silly things."

As many have stated in this thread, Doug Walker's biggest crime is that some of his jokes don't land. Big whoop.

He has some rules:

1. Has to have a Hollywood release, or at least a Hollywood budget (meaning films like Manos: The Hands of Fate are gonna be excluded)
2. No “so bad it’s good” films. (He mentions Batman and Robin as an example). These are going to be the films that leave him with no joy after watching them. Films that put him in a bad mood.

10. Lion King remake
9. Mamma Mia
8. Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 Always remember to include drunk Spoony)

7. Black Christmas remake
6. Inspector Gadget
5. The Haunting remake
4. FoodFight!
3. Nutcracker 3D
2. The Cat in The Hat
1. Garbage Pail Kids

we don't have to lie, we all loved this guy at some point

That is true for most lolcows threads involving content creators as ex-fans are the ones who normally make them. This thread is slightly different as a decent amount of people who post in it still like him, but are capable of also making fun of his failures.

 

[kiporocks]

true, but I can't be the only one who never really found doug all that funny, I liked his videos but his jokes sucked ass even back then to me.

Inspector Gadget

Would be interesting to see him do an NC on the sequel with French Stewart as Gadget. It's not good, but it captures the spirit of the cartoon way better than the Broderick version.

It’s not exactly the same, but he did do a Disneycember on it.

Everything wrong with that movie can be traced to it starting out as an R-rated script being turned into a kids' movie. Which explains all the sex jokes, the bullies being referenced as drug dealing and the love interest being sexualized despite being underage while filming.

I can't take that thumbnail seriously in anyway because it looks like something a fan of his would make as a joke.

Pretty sure that thumbnail is just a lazy ripoff of Hbomberguy’s Sherlock takedown.

Having trouble with the Imgur upload, so until then.

Let’s see what the parsing response can do.

I still love Doug, even though I don't watch him anymore. He still ending up better than most others from Channel Awesome.
