History Characters / TheNostalgiaCritic

* DealWithTheDevil: Pretty obvious, though in this case he was responsible for Critic's great [[KneelBeforeZod Zod]] impression and Souless' success with bad DrSeuss movies. In exchange all critic has to do is babysit [[CreepyChild Evilina]]. Souless on the otherhand's punishment [[FateWorseThanDeath is more severe.]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[WholesomeCrossdresser As Eartha Kitt Catwoman.]]

* TokenMinority

* NamesTheSame: There is also another {{Satan}} in the form of Teddy Ruxpin, but it is unknown if he's an avatar or a separate character

* {{Satan}}: Duh

* DesignatedMonkey: WordOfGod says he was ''created'' to suffer. Deconstructed in ''ScoobyDoo'' onwards, where he breaks down over how hellish his life is and wants nothing more than to do something good for once.

* HumiliationConga: Pretty much the entire reason for the existence of the ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' review is because the Critic was forced at gun-point to give a ''positive review of a movie everyone liked'' to rectify the public's shameful opinion of his first (and probably last) LetsPlay, which was posted a week earlier.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: The business in the ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' was partly HappinessIsMandatory and partly he really needs people to like him again. Another instance of showing just how bad this is, he's overflowing with joy at the end of the Anime/LittleNemoAdventuresInSlumberland review because "he's never felt so loved". Seeing as he's only being celebrated because he didn't make a ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' joke... oof.

* LiteralMinded: To give an example from ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach''.

** Due to the events of [[spoiler: DemoReel]] he has began trying to be fair when talking to people involved in a bad movie.

** Since the show began again in 2013, the Critic ''despises'' [=TMZ=]. After he attempts to make peace with them in the AI: Artificial Intelligence review, his loathing deepens even more [[spoiler:after they attempt to turn news that StevenSpielberg tried to hue as close to {{Stanley Kubrick}}'s version of the script into a story about them being gay, and making fun of Kubrick's weight. This results in him digging out their own personal scandals in an attempt to forcefully teach them empathy.]]

** Since the show began again in 2013, the Critic ''despises'' [=TMZ=].

** He ventures into Type's IV & V when he's angry.

** MaleGaze is also gaining steam for something he loathes.
** StrawFeminism in the Halle Berry Catwoman movie caused him to go into a half minute long ant.

** CuteIsEvil: Refuses to kill the Critic, because [[CruelMercy it would be more cruel to leave him to live with the memories]]. Her other justification, of course, is that [[LampshadeHanging he died before and it didn't stick.]]

* AManIsNotAVirgin: The Critic seems to have something against virgins. He said that the protagonist of ''{{Sidekicks}}'' needs to get laid and used the word "virgin" as an insult in his "Top 11 WesternAnimation/SouthPark Episodes" video.

** Made fun of in the ''{{Sidekicks}}'' review where he acts like he's chained up.

* TooKinkyToTorture: When he's parodying being a DistressedDude in the ''{{Sidekicks}}'' review, he sounds less defiant and more excited about being electrocuted.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: The Critic seems to have something against virgins. He said that the protagonist of ''{{Sidekicks}}'' needs to get laid and used the word "virgin" as an insult in his "Top 11 SouthPark Episodes" video.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Originally, at the conclusion of ToBoldlyFlee. Doug has stated that To Boldly Flee was created in order to retire the character. [[UnCancelled He's coming back in February though to review]] TheOddLifeOfTimothyGreen.]]

-->'''Critic''': Look at you, you had such dreams ahead of you, such promise, you were perfect back then - okay you had stupid glasses, teeth like a chipmunk and a dumb and dumber haircut that only got dumb and dumber - but you had such hope.

* SmartBall: Invoked in ''TheChipmunkAdventure''. When he gives a too-well-reasoned argument about the Chick growing out of the site-planned GirlShowGhetto and doing her own thing, Chick meta-brags that what he's saying sounds like her writing.

** In the ''TankGirl'' review, he freaks over a possibly horny woman director wanting a ShirtlessScene for a man. He never acted like that before, he's never acted like that again and he's even made much use of the FemaleGaze himself.
