History Characters / TheNostalgiaCritic

* SarcasmFailure: "I got nothing." Or some variation thereof whenever the Critic encounters something bad enough that even ''he'' can't think of a response.

* FetishFuelStationAttendant: [[http://whytheyrehot.com/post/376763884/why-hes-hot-hes-the-nostalgia-critic-not This]] "Why He's Hot" entry makes a pretty good case for his appeal.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Once a one-shot character in the ''CaptainPlanet'' review, now appears frequently enough to be considered a regular.

* {{Leitmotif}}"Santa Christ, Santa Christ, we all love Santa Christ..."

* BaseBreaker: [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Several fans dislike him because they consider him a]] GodModeSue. Other fans are among the people who all love Santa Christ.
* CrazyAwesome: Not only is he both Santa and Jesus, he rides a rocket ship, hangs out with Mr. T, played bass guitar for {{Aerosmith}}, and reads stories to sick kids.
** He also atoned for all our sins, saved puppies from a fire, goes surfing in space, makes really good fondue, shoots lasers from his eyes, mends your curtains for free and fights monsters for fun.
*** He also likes pancakes
*** In the review for EndOfDays, he shows up and gives the Critic a Sega Genesis. No real reason, he's just that awesome.
*** He even turned [[{{Satan}} THE DEVIL]] HIMSELF into [[BeyondTheImpossible a box of Ho Ho Ho's.]]

* [[strike:{{Leitmotif}}]] CrowningMusicOfAwesome: "Santa Christ, Santa Christ, we all love Santa Christ..."

* {{Leitmotif}}: "Santa Christ, Santa Christ, we all love Santa Christ..."

An angel-in-training that "helps" the Nostalgia Critic in the 2010 Christmas Special, officially called "You're A Rotten Dirty Bastard."

* BringMyBrownPants: He's wet himself twice out of terror, once in the "Mindfucks" countdown and the other time was seeing the banshee again in his "Top 11 Nostalgia Critic Fuck-Ups".

** He and his brother are also skilled at impressions and other voices, which they also put on display...in practically every Nostalgia Critic video.

* [=~Hey, It's That Guy!~=]/[=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: The Critic frequently rags on famous "serious" actors getting cast in bad movies.
** Mako in ''Sidekicks'', causing The Critic to prevent making even the least offensive jokes toward him.
** A number of jokes like this were made during the ''We're Back!'' review because of how many strange celebrity cameos appeared.
** The Critic had this towards Tone Loc, the actor playing Juice in ''BlankCheck'', remembering his role in ''Ferngully'' and ''Surf Ninjas''. More notable, as unlike say Mako or Abe Vigoda he's not that well known.
** As of ''BebesKids'', he's TheUnpronounceable as well.[[hottip:* :It's pronounced "Tone Loke".]]
** He points out that the lead scientist in ''{{Bio-Dome}}'' also played [[ObstructiveBureaucrat Walter Peck]] in ''{{Ghostbusters}}''. He's not particularly pleased that the main characters [[DesignatedHero are so horrifically unlikable]] that he actually ends up ''siding with the guy''.
** Joey Lauren Adams in ''BioDome'':
---> "Yes, that is the lesbian with the funny voice from ''ChasingAmy''. I spent the whole movie hoping she would lobotomize Pauly Shore and run off with the brunette."

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Santa Christ does this to Doug to help him forget the ''StarWarsHolidaySpecial''.

* NarmCharm: The Critic's opinion on ''JudgeDredd'' TheMovie, as well as the first ''ConanTheBarbarian'' film and ''{{Commando}}''.
* NeverLiveItDown: Mako, in the TMNT review.

* PuppyDogEyes: Usually a side-effect of when he's really suffering through a bad movie.

* SignLanguage: Doug had lost his voice and circumvented it with this in the review of ''The Good Son''; he only uses his voice in one instance but signs for the rest.

* [=~So Bad It's Good~=]: Komodo from ''WarriorsOfVirtue'' is this taken [[UpToEleven to the extreme]] in terms of his [[LargeHam ridiculously bad acting]]; so much so that the Critic finds him the only watchable character in the movie.
** Doug says he loves ''{{Commando}}'' because it's equal parts stupid and awesome.
--> "... So that was ''Commando'', and it ''kicks ass''! It's ungodly stupid, '''but it kicks ass'''!!!"
** The Critic ends his review of ''TheRoom'' by recommending that we watch it.
** The Critic states that ''{{Rocky}} IV'' fails on many levels and doesn't take itself seriously, but he can't not love it.

* [=~So Okay It's Average~=]: This is the Critic's thoughts on ''{{Cloverfield}}''.
-->"It's like a giant flaming ball of adequacy!"
** Ditto for {{Free Willy}}. He feels that it's a competent enough movie, but it doesn't do anything any other "boy bonds with an animal" movie did before, and better.
** Also ''ThePebbleAndThePenguin'', which he considers the "least bad" of the films from DonBluth's DorkAge.

* [[StupidSexyFlanders Stupid Sexy]] KeithDavid and WillSmith

* {{Tsundere}}: Often these characters lead to imitations of Gollum. "We loves him so much!" "No! We hates him!"

* UnsoundEffect: From ''The Good Son'': (inaudible rage)

* [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fanboy]]: Less obvious than his [[GirlOnGirlIsHot girl-on-girl love]] and naturally PlayedForLaughs ([[CaptainObvious duh]]) but he does see the HoYay in [[{{Superman}} Superman/Lex Luthor]], [[LordOfTheRings Frodo/Sam]] and [[{{TMNT}} Leonardo/Raphael]].

* HoistedByHisOwnPetard: It takes Linkara all of 1 minute to confuse Douchey by using easily countering his InsaneTrollLogic right back at him.

** The Nostalgia Critic is so scared by [[strike:Nicholas Cherrywood's [[WhoFramedRogerRabbit Judge Doom]] form]] during ''The CareBears Movie'' that [[BowelBreakingBricks he literally craps a brick]]!

--->''"You know, maybe it was the OTHER writer. I mean, there were two writers for this movie. In fact, I'd like to see a movie that was worse than this one, and was ONLY written by JohnHughes - '''* sees HomeAlone 3* ''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh snap.]]"''
** The Nostalgia Critic is so scared during ''The CareBears Movie'' that [[BowelBreakingBricks he literally craps a brick]]!

* NonSequiturThud: At the beginning and end of the ''A Kid In King Arthur's Court'' review, he repeatedly hits his head in an attempt to forget all about the movie, resulting in {{Mondegreen}} titles like "A Cat in Bea Arthur's Cooch". Also, at the end, he accidentally says "I remember it so you don't Blue's Clues," instead of his usual catch phrase.

-->'''Critic''': Yeah, how's that supposed to put you in a trance, taking two sticks and putting them up and down, up and down, up and down, [''cut to Dulcia in her BattleBikini''] up and down...up and down... [''picture slowly zooms in on her breasts'']...up and down...up and down...

* Parody: Of Clarence from ''ItsAWonderfulLife''

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]

* [[HeelFaceTurn]]
* Parody: Of Clarence from ItsAWonderfulLife
* [[spoiler:TookALevelOfBadass: He explodes into a ninja costume and proceeds to whoop the Critic's ass once he realizes that he would become God's number 1 buddy if the Critic did not exist.]]

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: He's a pale JerkassWoobie with pretty puppy eyes, a nice rumpled suit and who looks after himself well. You do the math. Lampshaded in the ''[[Film/BattlefieldEarth]]'' review:

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Very often and typically for long periods of time. Basically OnceAnEpisode.

!!Rob Walker

The brother of Doug and presumably the Critic. He appears every so often. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Sometimes he's a dinosuar.]]

* DropInCharacter
* NiceHat: A joker purple fedora. In the third donation drive, its red.
* RealLifeRelative
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: He's a dinosaur.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting or InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Its unclear which, but [[RunningGag he's a dinosaur.]]
