* In the "You're a Dirty Rotten Bastard" episode the Critic is at first shown to be an anchor around the necks of his compatriots. However, when you think about it, his life is shown to be worthwhile because his presence in the timeline saved all of Canada from being wiped off the map. Also, TheNostalgiaChick's happy marriage was shown in the bloopers to be a sham, Ask That Guy is clearly a StepfordSmiler and Spoony!Critic is batshit insane.

Sounds more horror.


* In the ''Gordy'' review, the Critic responds to the idea that people can understand animals if they just "take time to listen", by trying to listen to his saucepan, which immediately starts yelling "'''FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!'''" Why is the pan so angry? Well... how would ''you'' feel if you were kept shut in absolute darkness almost your entire life except for once in awhile when you were set on top of a burning flame and filled with boiling liquid?



*** That would also explain why he knows about ''{{It}}'' from his review of ''TheTommyknockers'', since he died at the end of that one too.

* From his rant about kids having too much pressure on them in ''TheSecretOfNIMH II'', getting a meal when he got an A- and his homework always getting torn up by bullies, it wouldn't surprising if his ditzy tendencies came from his parents making him think he was an academic letdown.

* He's so broken by the thought that he has no power or control over anything, but he does really. In the anniversaries, he might be thought of as irritating and crazy (and of course he is), but they do still follow him freely. He just can't seem to realize it.

** The book also told him at the end that she'd give him a happy ending for once. It looks like that may have sunk in despite him ignoring at the time.

What better way to fuck with an often suicidally lonely CosmicPlaything who's prone to blasphemy than to make him think everyone would be much better off without him? If another contributor did it, He'd probably do the same thing to them.

** And then there's giving "[[DealWithTheDevil everything]]" to [[{{Satan}} Sage]] in the Care Bears II review, which probably means he won't be having any fun after he dies. No matter how assy he can be, he's still a fundamentally good guy who doesn't deserve that.

* With his parents being such horrible people and his school life being equally horrid, it might seem weird that he's not crazier and nastier than he is. But his granddad was crazy yet seemed a nice CoolOldGuy that Critic appears to think fondly of, so it's likely he got his almost-decency from him.

*** It could have easily been about another relationship, but his line about DomesticAbuse in his Top Eleven Batman Episodes seems to hint that it was abusive already and he kept going back.

** An alternate interpretation: Until they mention it again, who's to say that it wasn't a story created by Santa Christ? He did open and close the episode like he was reading a book, and he has [[{{Kickassia}} more than enough reason]] to hate the Critic.

Their interaction later in ''CareBears II'' also supports this, as Santa Christ seems a lot colder.
