It seemed like towards the end in the final years of the site they just let anybody in. They let Chris Stuckmann in despite his videos going against the rule of "Your videos need to be something beyond just talking to a camera" which is exactly what his videos are. Plus, he already had success on YouTube at that point so becoming a Channel Awesome member wasn't really necessary for him as being on site wasn't really gonna boost his numbers much higher.
Is that the same porn critic who showed Filmbrain a porno that caused him to throw up?
Pretty much. A lot of people left, and Doug wanted to bring in even more people than they'd already had, so they started opening the flood gates. In 2011 they told people not to bother applying as they already had a long list of people they were going to slowly add to the site. But then more and more people left and so they started to fill in the holes.
The only Channel Awesome producers I like are Todd in the Shadows, Phelous, The Nostalgia Critic, Guru Larry, MasakoX, and maybe The Cinema Snob. The rest are either completely inept or boring imo
Guru Larry is an absolute chad trying to be the last man standing before they shut the site down, love that bloke.
Never liked Larry. Insists upon himself. He made a living feuding with D-celebs on YouTube and sticking his nose in drama that he has zero business being involved in.
Yeah like he is a Linkara ripoff though it is hilarious that his big grievance with the #ChangetheChannel document is not being a Gary Stu and saving the day with his magic hammer powers for the cancelled 10th anniversary
That's Dick Bush, the guy who made the baneposting porno from a decade ago. Funny dude.
Most grating voice has to go to Linkara. The man is Channel Awesome's very own Orson Welles. If Orson Welles couldn't direct a movie to save his life and had a fucking dentist's drill for a voice.
Who gives a shit about Erod or Venom? Why is this guy even in the conversation? Including him is like if ESPN made a movie called Kato: Made in America but it’s just a reenactment of him crashing on OJ's couch.
I don’t think anybody does. But it’s what happens when you get two people who really shouldn’t be on the internet unsupervised .
That's kind of the point of the video. Venom is a moron who inserted himself into the CA drama. Erod is a moron who BS'd about his time with CA, and for some insane reason Erod's wife who definitely needed to log the fuck off, kept communicating with Venom(and vice-versa). With everyone threatening to kill themselves repeatedly.
Deadwing Dork's video on Cinematic Venom was a joy. Especially when it comes to CV's “takedown” of the LotR movies. Not the Hobbit trilogy; Lord of the Rings.
Oh I'm sure there's plenty covering CV. This is just a part of a fairly long ongoing video regarding the stupid change the channel thing as a whole, from the perspective of a reasonable adult looking in on a moronic clusterfuck of emotionally stunted now middle aged children.
Just out of curiosity, does he have his own thread yet?
Chez Apocalypse was Lindsay's old site for her and her friends that she was doing while still technically part of Channel Autism. The League of Super Critics was a kind of amalgamation site where all sorts of online critics would have their videos posted to reach a larger audience. Except they fucked around and kept all the ad money without giving the critics what they were owed. And the worst, or best, part of it depending on your POV is that it was 100% legal the content producers couldn't get their videos removed from there.
It was a joke that he even said once when doing a crossover I think with Spoony where Spoony asks, "so how you doing" and Brad shrugs and says, "I review porn". It might have been the Caligula review.
To expand on this, when Maker bought Blip, they approached a bunch of people about enhancing their productions and promoting them through Blip as a mutually beneficial arrangement. A second Cinema Snob movie, refurbishing the TGWTG website, shows with Rooster Teeth, and others. One of the deals put in place was that Blip would set up a youtube channel, The League of Super Critics, and would take videos from Blip creators, post them on youtube, and the original content creator would get higher revenue on Blip, along with a smaller percentage from YT. Since at that point Blip was paying out way more than YT, a bunch of people like Doug, Lindsay and Brad went for it.
I swear he did at some point.
He’s probably not famous enough for one of his own
