Well, guys, since I'm about as masochistic as Tenshi and I have nothing better to do with my time, I decided to actually sit down and watch the thing. As I am typing this, I have the tab opened to the second episode of Pop Quiz Hot Shot. The following will be my genuine, live action responses to what I am watching.

In the event that I die, I leave my belongings to the first person that gets their hands on them. No pushing.

NC hosts the brand new Pop Quiz Hot Shot! Whoever wins or loses, SOMEBODY’S not going home!

I'm going to die...

Bat nipples. ... The joke does not work if you stretch it out this long.

Also, Doug is noticeably less charismatic than Brad. Also, when he stares into the screen, I'm not sure if he's trying to be striking or creepy, but if he's trying to go for creepy... GOOD JOB, IT'S WORKING.

---

Right off the bat, the echo is so fucking noticeable. It's obnoxious.

Also, Doug can literally do only one expression when he's acting: Extremely fucking creepy.

---

So the "plot" of this episode is that Doug is a sociopath that never had friends and thus he kidnaps them to participate in his weird nostalgia show.

... Why does a Game Show need a plot?

---

I have to agree with @Frank Rizzo. No one looks like they're having a lot of fun besides Doug. Is this some sort of vanity project for him now? Might explain why he thought he could carry on with the thing after Brad (probably) evicted himself from the project at Mach Eleven.

---

Not sure if it's my Internet, the video player, or the quality of the video, but it feels choppy. Can someone else confirm (if they're insane enough to watch this)?

---

The rules were... I have no fucking idea. Apparently Doug asks them questions and they have to answer and if they make him laugh even if they're wrong they still get points and there was something about spazzies, I don't fucking know.

Also, the segues with the logo are fucking terrible.

---

Doug is terrible at trying to make banter like any normal game show host.

The forced laughter is everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy behind them actually was holding a real gun. It's the only way you could get anyone to laugh at this.

---

My Flash player crashed. I'm not sure if it's my Internet being silly or if it's my computer trying to save itself.

---

The quiz questions are literally just trivia from movies. Like, literally just random questions about movies.

Not all of them are even "nostalgic" movies. I like The Avengers but I wouldn't consider that old enough to be considered "nostalgia."

---

I'm gonna take a break from hearing the forced, canned laughter and instead point out how absolutely horrible the set looks. It literally looks like something straight out of a high school play. Like there was zero production value behind this.

---

Everyone.
Looks.
So.
Awkward.

This was not something done for fun. This was not something everyone was enjoying. (Except possibly Doug.)

---

Doug, please stop...

---

WHAT IN THE LIVING FUCK WAS THAT?

Oh... those are the spazzies? ... Oh god please tell me that isn't the gimmick...

---

This is the worst fucking gimmick ever. It's like anti-comedy.

Oh, and apparently what a "Spaz Attack" is is that there's apparently a sharp noise and a poorly animated cartoon that appears on screen, and if you don't hit a button you have to do something stupid during the next round, like how this one contestant has to dress up as and speak like Popeye. ... I am not making this up.

Can I stop the video now? Please?

---

Doug's jokes are terrible, even for Doug.

---

Who the hell is this Tom guy? This guy should be hosting.

---

Ryan looks so pained hugging Doug...

---

Pity laughs all around. This is so cringeworthy...

---

OK, I'm not sure if Kentucky Fried Movie is some sort of holy grail of comedy and I'm just some heathen pagan witch that's never watched it before, but I don't think that using it as the punchline for jokes is working...

---

Doug is trying so desperately hard to be witty and failing...

---

Doug, that "No, it's X, not Haha X," quip wasn't funny the first time, and it's certainly not funny this time...

---

I hate those spazzies.

And I'm getting a fucking headache from this shit...

---

There is no way this shit is worth $100 cash prize...

---

Please tell me that Doug seriously doesn't know who Admiral Ackbar is and just called him General Ackbar...

Please tell me that didn't just happen...

---

... Those are twenty minutes of my life I will never get back.

Overall, out of ten, I give it a "If I ever see this again, I will kill myself."

Pretty much my thoughts, but add 'Even Linkara understood why people (rightly) got offended when using the word 'spastic' or any of it's variants, why the fuck couldn't you?'

Have you forgotten the time when Doug made a joke about autistic kids not realizing that a good portion of his fanbase is most likely on the spectrum?
 
It doesn't really help that Doug is really uncharismatic. There was a recent James and Mike Monday with him on it and without a script he's just painful to watch. I think that's what he lacks compared to other internet critics.

Oh boy, like, a while back before he retired the NC. I often can't tell who's worse: tgwtg fans or the producer's themselves. But the autistic joke was really out of character for him anyway.

I'm gonna say the producers. If Doug really does think that about his fans, which he does, he's basically taking advantage of the handicapped. That's scumbag material.

Oh, he didn't say his fans are autistic. I kind of implied that.:lol: But he did make a joke about the autistic, and I don't believe he has a high opinion of his fans to begin with.

He made that rip on some of his more annoying fans with Douchey McNitpick, but it wouldn't surprise me if he thought that a majority of his fanbase was as annoying as Douchey.
 
I really really hope this Internet 'sarcastic nerd reviewer' thing goes and dies off for a long time. Its getting to the point of ridiculous over saturation of the market. I guess its nice that 2 years post 'better content' promise, Doug and Co finally produced something different (not a review, or rant, or vlog) but wow this game show is terrible.

I think the well has to be running dry for the massive amount of shows like Nostalgia Critic etc. I mean how many people can have unfunny shows where they yell about 25 year old movies with plot holes and pretend to break things in response? Like ya know, instead of watching some guy with a shitty webcam bitch about a 1982 Italian Mad Max rip-off, maybe actually go watch the thing the're bitching about. Its likely a lot more entertaining.

Because that would cost money.

Also, nobody wants to watch a movie they know is bad.

But how do ya know its bad? Doug hates the Mortal Kombat movie, I think its great. If took Doug's comedic ranting as gospel and hadn't seen the movie it might have steered me away from something I'd end up liking. Maybe Doug or Spoony or JohnnyAngryMcFuckPants is just an asshole and can't accurately convey whether you'd actually like the movie or not.

I guess I'm getting at that its odd that so man people want to spend hours watching someone bitch about movies they'll never see. I'm sure 90% the audience has never seen or would ever bother to see any of the things these reviewers pretend to be so annoyed by.
 
I want someone to take the name JohnnyAngryMcFuckPants and turn him into a parody of the angry critics.

You could say the same thing about every moron on IMDB, Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. who thinks their opinions matter. The truth of it is - THEY. DO. NOT. Just the money/revenue spent on it by these people.

This is especially true if you yourself like/hate something, despite others hating/liking it themselves. How can these people not get that is anyone's guess and divine proof that this kind of negativity can and must fade out eventually.
 
I think the quality of NC's reviews depends on the movie he's reviewing. If he's just reviewing a mildly bad movie, like Mammia Mia, it's pretty meh. But when he reviews a full on piece of crap like The Christmas Tree, it's pretty entertaining.
