Whether by poor research, poor speeches or hypocrisy, these moments are Animated Atrocities that not even The Mysterious Mr. Enter's biggest fans can stomach.
Keep in mind:
- Sign your entries
- One moment per work to a troper; if multiple entries for the same work are signed to the same troper, the more recent one(s) will be cut. For subpages that cover multiple works, it's permissible for one troper to have entries for more than one work
- Moments only, no "just everything he said", "the entire episode", or "this entire work," entries.
- No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
- No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
- Explain why it's a Dethroning Moment of Suck.
- No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.
- Please use correct grammar and spelling, we want this page to look presentable.
- You need to have legitimate reasons if you want to write a moment pertaining to a review note For example; Did the author do the research? Or is the author being offensive to anyone?. Having a moment on a review just because you disagree on their opinions is not acceptable.
- Wayward Totodile: For me, it was when he tried the "totally discouraged and needs a reassuring speech from a friend/mentor to continue" cliche in his review of Breadwinners... and it falls flat on its face - it drags the episode it's in out for way too long and feels completely unnecessary.
- Blue Guy: On a different note, I agree. He just goes on and on about how the creators are hacks, sees rape-y undertones where there are none, forces in unfunny sketches (most notably a brief bit where he pretends to be Nickelodeon, which does nothing but reenforce his hatred for the show's creators for... daring to make it, I guess) acts hypocritical at least once (chastising the writers for putting in a reference
that children won't get, and shortly thereafter suggesting that they reference the Konami Code - which most children also won't get), and generally sounds way too angry. The worst part of it - the part that efficiently summarizes why I really don't like him at all - is his looooong rant against Nickelodeon when he discovers that the show did very well with its target audience. The entire thing makes him sound like he honestly can't understand that children's tastes change with time, and that not all of them share his views on Comedic Sociopathy. And the icing on top? Near the end, he "realizes" that Nickelodeon will probably never see his videos (well, duh) and starts ranting that "there's no hope". Does the state of children's animation really matter that much to you?
- supernintendo128: I'm not as big of a fan of Mr. Enter as I used to but I still enjoy his videos every now and then. But even when I was a huge fan of him, I could not stand the "When He Loved Me" segment in his "To Love a Patty" review. Now if it only went on for like 10 or 15 seconds, it might have been funny, but instead it dragged on for 2 minutes. Even Mr. Enter himself admits that adding that segment to the review was a mistake and even added an annotation to skip the sequence entirely.
- Captain Lhurgoyf: In his review of "Jeepers Creepers Where Is Peepers", he objects to the villain being drawn in an Animesque art style because "Dexter's Lab never had anything to do with anime." Uh...what? From the beginning, Dexter's Laboratory was strongly influenced by anime - not in terms of art style, granted, but certainly in terms of thematic and storytelling elements; hell, there was an episode where Dexter used a Humongous Mecha to fight a Kaiju! I love Mr. Enter, but for an expert on animation, no less one who happens to be a fan of Dexter's Lab, that mistake is unforgivable.
- thetoonamirose: As much as I like his videos and crack up whenever he blows his stack, I could never comprehend that moment either, I mean, wasn't there an entire friggin' parody of Speed Racer!?
- hydrix: Top 10 worst animations from the 2000's, while perhaps one of his lesser works, is decent on its own right. There is only one spot I disagree with, the #5 spot which is for the 4Kids Entertainment dub of One Piece. Now one might say that this is just an example of Small Reference Pools, because in all fairness the guys behind the dub are not that horrible and merely made a So Okay, It's Average dub. The catch is however is that we have a man in front of us that knows that there is a Horrible section for Voice Acting on this very wiki, which includes dubbing companies that make 4Kids Entertainment look faithful to their source material (look at this shot for proof that he knows about this folder). For a guy that tries to make himself portray like an actual animation critic and tries to back it up with actual information he sure lacks the flexibility to put that information into correct use.
- JEFFWONTLEAVE: I could go on for hours on how his recent writing tips video Satire, you're Doing it Wrong is very awkwardly paced, completely fails at giving viewers a good understanding of satire, etc. But I would single out the moment where he forces in the controversy to his Troll video. Look, if you want to defend your position about your favorite work, that's fine. But when you shoehorn it into what's supposed to be an educational piece about how to understand a very complex type of writing style, it makes you come across as arrogant, preachy and bitter for all the wrong reasons.
- Dat Shambler: I'd also like to add that in said video, he refers to the people that are not him/the writers of Family Guy as "The Bad Ones" or something along those lines. That makes him come across as really petty.
- Willie Manga: One moment that isn't exactly popular is his overreaction to the Egghead joke in Bubsy; "DON'T YOU DARE REMIND ME OF A QUALITY JOKE FROM A QUALITY CARTOON EVER AGAIN!!" He was referring to the new MLP for some reason, and I can see why people don't like this. How does calling someone an egghead relate specifically to MLP? Was that a thing in the show? Non bronies won't understand what he is talking about. If Mr. Enter was talking about... like, the saturday morning Sonic Cartoon, it would make more sense. And it would have made his reaction towards the Olsen Twins wishing for a pony more funny, instead of feeling like he was jumping the shark. I mean, what did you expect, Mr. Enter? Bubsy was made long before MLP had quality control. I feel it is just a confusing moment of an otherwise decent review.
- FromtheWordsofBR: Previously, I had the song segment from "To Love a Patty" as my DMoS, but his review of Rocket Monkeys managed to top it—and not in a good way. Basically, nearly all of the video is him complaining about how he dislikes getting requests, how he caved into reviewing this purely on requests alone, and the fact that he has virtually nothing to work with because Rocket Monkeys is just another clone of Fanboy and Chum Chum, with a review slapped onto it somewhere. Mr. Enter, just ignore the requests you get for that; yes, you mentioned on DeviantART that if you didn't review it the amount of requests you'd get might've caused you to "legitimately snap", but it's better to tune them out then to make a pointless video, especially since Rocket Monkeys is just generically bad and not Allen Gregory-levels of bad. And Mr. Enter, yes, getting requests over and over is annoying, but anybody with a large fanbase like yours is bound to get tons of requests. Your life is probably a relief compared to the amount of requests that people like JonTron and The Nostalgia Critic get. And finally, this video was made to demonstrate why you don't do requests, resulting in a very poor review. So why bother doing this review in the first place? It's very clear in this video that you didn't want to review it, due to how little you could work with it, so why did you spend all this effort on a video you knew wouldn't be good in the first place? It's not like your fans are trying to hold you at gunpoint; this is your channel, after all. Even the "Girls Gone Mild" review had more content than this.
- TS Rival: The hypocrisy is strong with this one, but what I can't stand more is one of the comments to the video. It was a polite, albeit very blunt comment about the aforementioned hypocrisy for the first three sentences. Afterwards, it's about how Enter's slipped from what he once was and that he's prone to not take criticism. It seems like at least some effort went into that comment, but Enter's response was, word by word: "Because like a 100 people wanted me to review THIS particular episode." I have two problems with this one. One is that he answered the question of, "If you don't take requests, why don't you just ignore them?" with "because people wanted it." Two is that he completely ignored the majority of the comment that was a criticism on him. Between taking requests despite not wanting to and ignoring the criticisms of others, it really feels like Enter is just trying to surround himself with people who love him and his work and shut out anyone who has anything slightly mean to say about him. For a critic, this is a terrible mentality and for his sake I really hope it doesn't persist.
- whunt4: His 12 oz Mouse review was disgraceful. Not only was it not the review for the episode for which he provided a notecard, but he spent most of the episode ranting about how it didn't work as postmodernism. Mr. Enter's knowledge of postmodernism as given in the review seems cursory at best, and he jumped to assumptions in assuming the work was postmodernism rather than Stylistic Suck. That's not to say I'm defending 12 oz Mouse, but I am saying this particular review was poorly researched and based on false understanding of a certain concept.
- jaredthedecimator: I used to be a big fan of this dude. But then I watched his review of "Space Circus", and, as a huge follower of Hanna-Barbera, I literally shit my pants. Not only is it full of unforgivable research errors (he says that H-B doesn't deserve the hate they get, and completely invalidates this statement by saying that they created Rocky and Bullwinkle, when everyone knows it was Jay Ward who did that), the main reason this video qualifies as a D Mo S is his overblown criticisms of Hairy Scary. Enter released this video only two weeks after Hairy Scary's voice (Hanna-Barbera mainstay John Stephenson) died from complications of Alzheimer's, so it kind of settled in the wrong part of my stomach. I wrote a comment on his notebook page where I told him it wasn't a good idea to upload the video so soon after his death. His response? He blocked me from commenting on his DeviantArt account. And that moment solidified my hatred of this man.
- T Vsir 13: I'd like to nominate his Drawn Together movie review as my D Mo S, for it was after this review that I unsubbed. For starters, he says prologues are pointless. Right... because this one movie has a terrible prologue, all of a sudden ALL prologues cannot be done effectively and are therefore useless. Logic? What's that? Another thing that got under my skin was his near-constant levels of yelling. Seriously, he's giving SammyClassicSonicFan a run for his money, and at least SCSF was pre-pubescent. Mr. Enter is in his 20s. If a cartoon angers you this much, get some professional help. Then he says porn shouldn't have story. Two things: 1. What does this have to do with the movie? 2. You're asexual. You're not one to talk. Finally, he says: "Just because you put a laugh track over a terrorist attack doesn't make it funny." Uh, yeah, not everyone has the same sense of humor as you. I am not ashamed to admit I find 9/11 jokes funny, among other things. It's a Giggle at the Ghostie type of humor. By mocking them, they lose their power, in a sense. It's kind of fitting that the "worst thing he'll ever review" is his worst review yet.
- rkb1723: Strange as it seems his discussion of the Autism Speaks public awareness message was what made me lose most if not all remaining interest in his reviews. While all his points on how poorly worded the message was were reasonable it made me realize something about his reviews, he takes them all very personally. While some other reviewers do at times inject some topics more personal to themselves, watching and re-watching his reviews made me realize just how personally he takes all of them. While I understand he hasn't had the best life, when it comes to reviews I prefer them to be more humorous and/or factual then written with perpetual Tranquil Fury. I don't think he's an awful reviewer or anything but he takes every episode of anything way to seriously and, as a result, way too personally for me to find them entertaining.
- Vexer: For me it was his review of Screams of Silence. I already found him rather grating with his annoying ranting about adult animation "copying" South Park(which is total bullshit, most adult animated shows were more likely influenced by The Simpsons then anything else) and his irritating shouting and incessant preaching in all his Family Guy reviews where he insults anyone that dares to actually laugh at the show. But this review really cemented the fact that he is TERRIBLE at reviewing Family Guy(I may disagree with his negative Spongebob reviews, but at least he came across as more reasonable in those) and should just give it up already. The biggest problem I have with his review is that he thinks that just because Family Guy has some fucked up humor that it's not allowed to tackle a serious issue(and I have a hard time believing his talk about statistics on the subject being unreliable considering he gets several facts wrong in many of his reviews). I for one thought it did a good job of tackling the issue of domestic violence head on.
- TCgamerboy2002: For me, it was his review of Mars Needs Moms. In recent reviews, I've been noticing that Enter was starting to get increasingly angrier, (Most notably in his review of Fairly Oddpet, though there's a good reason for that) but even that wasn't enough to be considered a DMoS. What was, however, was that throughout the whole review of Mars Needs Moms, he becomes so angry that he sounds like he's ready to scream. This isn't much of a problem in prior reviews as they weren't very long, this is a two-part review, and it happens all throughout it! Even during moments where there's no reason to! For people like the AVGN and The Nostalgia Critic, they're not really angry. They're just acting. Enter, on the other hand, sounds like he's legitimately angry. If this is how he's going to act (for the most part) in future Animated Atrocities reviews, I don't think I can follow him anymore.
- iansimsjam: For me, it was Ren Seeks Help. While it is understandable why he would hate the episode, he forgot to talk about the high quality animation. Why review an animated cartoon without talking about the animation? It seems that story is the only thing important to Mr. Enter when it comes to a cartoon. The fact that he doesn't mention one bit of the well-constructed drawings or beautiful backgrounds is a sign of Mr. Enter's closed-mindedness. It's funny how Mr. Enter would criticize these beautifully drawn cartoons and yet draw like a five-year-old on his deviant art page. His criticism of John K. and Rich Pursel were obvious attempts at character assassination. Can Mr. Enter make a better cartoon than John K.? Food for thought.
- AmazingAnagram: For me, it has to be his Return of Slade review. Most of his criticism seems to be that the show apparently fucked over fans of the original Teen Titans, as if it hadn't already for the past 2 years, and further shoved it in their face that they've grown too old to be obsessing over children's cartoons. Mr. Enter specifically makes the argument that you can be a child forever by holding on to the things that made your childhood great. It's true in some aspects that nostalgia can be a good thing, but they shouldn't be the entire basis of one's adult life. One can have as great a childhood you want, but eventually they're going to be an adult, they're going to need to go to work, pay bills, and make a living. There still are people that can grasp onto their childhood and become the next Walt Disney or Dr. Seuss, but they need actual talent and education to do so. He's basically saying that any low-life can make it into the animation industry, no matter their level of experience or, God forbid, education. (Eek! My hair raises at just the thought of it!) He boasts about having watched Courage the Cowardly Dog and Samurai Jack in his childhood and still refuses to take criticism about his Growing Around series with the mindset that it will absolutely be approved by a network or have an overwhelmingly positive impression on people. Secondly, he implies that edgy reboots cannot work. Yeah, no edgy reboot has ever been successful. Also, he assumes that absolutely everyone loves shows like My Little Pony, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Star vs. the Forces of Evil. They might be the best TV shows ever, but I can't agree because A) not everybody likes those shows (quality is subjective), B) he's not even in the target audience for these shows and it's not his duty to decide how good or bad they are for children (he's not even breaking any social barriers by liking them), and C) he needs to realize that cartoons aren't the most important thing in his life. It's weird how Chris-chan gets berated for holding on to his childhood, but when Mr. Enter does it he's treated as a fucking hero. Not to mention with all this in mind, this is his 5th review of TTG. I think he's beating a dead horse with this review, pardon the apparent MLP reference.
- Phantom Dusclops 92: My DMOS is his review of Seahorse Seashell Party, for too many reasons. First, he complains about the cutaways saying that they're pointless filler that bring nothing to the plot. Except he often does that in his reviews too (just in this one he inserts the "Filler time" scene from Nostalgia Critic, and in many others he does it with other stuff, including the always popular "bringing My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic in the discussion because a character in the cartoon he's reviewing just mentioned ponies")! Then he does a second pointless gag that is actually heinous for the review: the "I'm going to break some windows during this scene" part, which means that during the whole scene of Brian telling Meg that she should accept to be the family's lightning rod we hear the sound of breaking glass covering the dialogue, making for us impossible to hear what they are saying since the clip's volume is already very low on its own! Someone who never saw that episode could even imagine that what Brian said is completely different and Enter made up stuff to complain about. And at the end he thought that Stewie's "go behind the library and get some drugs" advice at the end was to be taken seriously. Seriously, did he expect good aesops from a Black Humour show? And actually I thought that the acid trip sequence was the only good part from that episode, and he despises that too.
- I Am Not Beast: To not dump a massive, hard-to-read wall of text on the page, this is the moment that finally convinced me to stop watching Mr. Enter's videos because of how badly he missed the point of certain episodes, the finale especially. But, the moment that first got me to doubt him was when he first announced Growing Around. I've always found the premise of Growing Around horrifying – a world where you start out with all the same rights and power as any adult in the real world, and you gradually lose them as you age. Basically, immature children are in charge, adults with actual lived experience have to answer to children, and elders are essentially slaves of slaves. The part that irks me the most is how people who either haven't had children yet or simply don't want or can't have children are forced to live in some sort of "home for the childless". And then there's just the fact that children are the ones running things – look, I know that kids tend to be smarter than most people give them credit for, but they're still generally immature, lack a good work ethic, and take the least important things very seriously. Kids hate homework, why would they build a society where they have to work for a living? And have you ever seen a kid raise a huge ruckus because their mother wouldn't buy them a toy, or take them to Mc Donald's? The fact is, a society run by children had better have a pretty damn good explanation for why it's able to function without creating several generations-worth of people with psychological problems from having all their basic human rights ripped away from them just as they were finally learning how to use them responsibly. This isn't the premise of a fun Saturday morning cartoon, this is the premise of a dystopia novel.
- Melancholy Utopia: I nearly agree with him on all points in his "Family Guy: Fresh Heir" review, but a couple of moments irked me strongly. The first was his Critical Research Failure on the trope Crosses the Line Twice. He describes it as "you make something so offensive you're forced to find that shit funny"; no, Mr. Enter. It means that it's so offensive you genuinely and willingly find it funny, you're not forced to anything. Dude, Not Funny! I think is the trope more fitting to that formula of yours. As someone who's a self-claimed troper his poor understanding of such a simple trope is just clumsy. The second problem I had with the video is that he constantly says that this episode only "appeal to an Allen Gregory audience". Okay, enough with this shit. You are in your own perfect right to hate Allen Gregory and a majority of animation fans do, including myself. But constantly mocking those few who do enjoy the show is disrespectful and goes to show how little you tolerate others opinions and put yourself on a higher ground. I love The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack but I respect your opinion of not liking it. I just wish you could do the same for other people.
