Yeah but that just makes it all the nicer to have an untainted example of his comedy, no one else is responsible and no one else may or may not have had influence with that joke or this joke. Then again, Demo Reel was just the Nostalgia Critic without the Critic himself, something which really spoke a lot to how utterly empty he is as a writer; even when he's moving away from a business model where claiming fair use is his only lifeline, he still can't stop making videos that are just about other people's movies.
It also spoke a lot about him as a comedian in general, everything about his "satire" is just spastic, delivered with no sense of restraint or subtlety. Nobody acts like a person in his skits, every joke is over explained (it's not funny if you have to explain it) and there's no cleverness in the humor, it's just a blunt recitation of what's going on with a fuck ton of mugging for the camera.
I'm almost tempted to do a text review of Demo Reel, actually.
