Sandbox / Nostalgia Critic Fanservice And Fan Disservice Cleanup

Fanservice.The Nostalgia Critic

• In the premium area outtakes for Ferngully, when they're dancing, Doug starts giving giving blowjob motions and Lindsay starts rubbing her chest.
• Giving a victory blowjob to his joystick after the battle with Angry Joe. The gesture is appreciated, Doug.
• He does like showing off his chest, especially that often-shown scene of when he quits his job.
• This commercial, with the suffering factor set on deliciously high.
  • Likewise, "Spooning With Spoony II" had him shirtless, traumatized and shamelessly objectified. We should probably cut both of these. Is it really fanservice if said character that is being used for it is clearly against it?
    • Rewrite, move it to Fan Disservice.
• In the first Care Bears movie, he thinks that the villain is getting eaten out while she does her lines. He then demonstrates by giving us a series of quite lovely orgasm noises. This was Played for Laughs, but not portrayed as explicitly sexy or unsexy.
  • In his Jaws 3-D review, he simulates an offscreen sex scene by himself, providing the orgasmic-sounding voices for both the man and the woman. Goodness.
• The DVD menus seem to be made for this: the first consists of him wearing an air hostess uniform and the second has Rob barging in on him while he's in the shower.
• When you don't see Marobot's title card, the screenshot he used for his DuckTales episode is the Panty Shot in Suburban Knights. (This one may have been more Blip TV's doing since they often go to stills within a video for screenshots, but it's still appreciated by many.) The SK scene was textbook Fan Disservice, so this by extension should be cut, especially if it's not even an example within the episode and applies to a default setting on a now-dead video site.
• He's been soaked through at least three times. Doug even said he had to sell his old jacket partly because of it. But did he get soaked for the purpose of showing off his body, or was it just circumstances?
• Done in an equal-opportunity way for the Moulin Rouge! review. Girls get pregnant from Critic singing while guys get the Chick, Elisa and Nella in boob-enhancing corsets. (Behind the scenes, apparently Team NChick had to strongarm Doug into allowing the corsets, as he was worried about them perved over by the creepier parts of the fandom.) No to the singing example. Yes to the corset example, especially since that was playing off the fanservice in the movie.
• Other than it being funny, the only reason why Doug's naked and playing a Depraved Bisexual in this advertisement.
• In-universe, this is his belief as to why Catherine Zeta Jones plays up her character's bisexuality in the remake of The Haunting (1999). Valid as a Discussed Trope.
• His right nipple in his Jurassic Park review. ZCE. The full context may justify it since it's a scene implying he had some good sex with a T-Rex and his body isn't portrayed as objectively gross.
• Doug knows that fangirls like seeing him in pain and he's a lot more sexualised now than he was back when he first started. (Goes for Critic, Ask That Guy and Doug himself.) Too general, cut.
• It probably wasn't a coincidence that Critic getting date-raped by Spoony and Ask That Guy getting terrified/dominated by Sage happened at the exact same time. Black Comedy Rape is not fanservice. Also pretty sure this is redundant to the above example, which should move to Disservice.
• There's even a joke amongst the other contributors that if their video includes Doug or his characters suffering, the views will usually be pretty high. Maybe?
• In Film Brain's livestream of reading the Fetish Fuel Wiki, someone asked if Doug was okay with his rather extreme "yay suffering" page. Film Brain's response was that Doug wasn't just okay with it, he loves that kinda thing and feeds off it. So there's that. This should go in Rule 34 – Creator Reactions.
• While “Are Video Games Art” was less confident than Kyle's version on the subject in regards to the subject matter, Doug beat Kyle in terms of showing skin. ZCE
• Both forms in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie ("it's pandering time", with Power Rangers fans getting sucked up to ^note  his words, not ours with "Nostalgia Ranger", and the female audience getting Doug in skintight latex. The man has amazing legs.
• As lampshaded by Critic himself in The Wicker Man (2006), Tamara's characters hurting and insulting him are what will keep his viewcounts up because fandom likes seeing him squirm (though he still humiliates her, shoves the camera right on her cleavage and puts her in sexy little girl costumes for the portion of the audience who enjoy women getting treated like that.) Also Doug laughed later in Fan World that Critic being tortured was partly an excuse to show off his crotch. The scene does say, "My views always seem to go up whenever I'm in pain." which at least acknowledges the audience that fetishizes this stuff. The tangent about Tamara can go though, both because it's too general and also because I don't remember a single time the camera was "shoved right in her cleavage," plus it's debatable whether the "little girl" outfits are because of fanservice or because they couldn't find a better outfit that fit her.
• For Small Soldiers, Tamara wearing a dress that proves the Buxom Beauty Standard, Doug in a lot of leather and make-up as Devil Boner, and Doug's legs as he gets into bed at the end. The only possible example is Devil Boner's appearance, but his character was meant to be an aggressive Large Ham 90's anti-hero type, not necessarily sexy.
• His cameo in The Last Angry Geek's Future's End episode, where he's a broken Sex Slave for the Snob and actually kneels down while unzipping sounds are heard. Intentionally exploited by Brian to make the fangirls happy, as he confirmed on twitter. Maybe? On the one hand suffering usually counts as Fan Disservice, but if this is pandering to fangirls then it might actually count as Fanservice.
• Defied with Doug's Ice Bucket Challenge. He knows full well that everyone wants to see him get soaked, but it's just a Cool as Ice DVD falling on his head before he stalks off.
• Proving himself a lot more up for it than Doug was, Malcolm shows off some serious muscles in his ice bucket challenge video.
• Subverted in the promo to see editorials early. When the audience waits out the timer, he feels duty-bound to show a nipple, but the video cuts out as soon as he lifts his shirt.
• In the “Princess Diaries 2” behind the scenes video, Jim does some pull-ups and Rob jokes about his invoked Estrogen Brigade loving it. Dayna (Doug's ex girlfriend) also shows why he liked her in the first place by dead lifting him off the floor.
• His Sixth Day crossover with Sci-Fi Guy is particularly homoerotic, starting with Critic landing on Guy's lap, making giving blowjob motions after saying “a mouth is a mouth”, and ending with present Critic wanting a clone of himself as a Sex Slave.
• Doug posing prettily in a cheerleading outfit. Bless his heart. Gets even better in behind the scenes, as Rob is so uncomfortable at Doug's flirty posing that he jokes he can't watch schoolgirl anime anymore. He also teases fans that he's collecting all of Doug's drag moments in a folder that he'll sell to the highest bidder. Stuck between whether this is FS or FD, since both tropes get joked about.
• In “Rise Of The Commercials”, for the “skip it” parody, there's a cut to Doug suddenly losing his clothes and having a Naked Freak-Out. Naked People Are Funny, Fan Disservice if anything.
• The Purge has a shot of Doug!Walter White in his underwear (parodying the show's Signature Scene). Aside from the nice legs we already knew he had, he has an... impressive bulge. It's specifically pointed out how weird it is for him to be in his underwear, so this is Fan Disservice.
• Tamara in Daredevil is wearing a tank top that pushes her breasts right up and is really low cut. Needs more context.
• While doing a Cards Against Humanity panel at a con, when a card read out “-enjoying a striptease from the Nostalgia Critic”, Doug instantly gave the audience a show. Playing to the audience of fangirls, keep it.
• In The Legend of Zorro review, bending over his desk and noisily pretending to get spanked. Needs more context, right now I suspect misuse.
• In-universe, Malcolm's powers in Fantastic Four (2005) creates Chun-Li for him and Critic to enjoy, but Critic tells him “the lady” (Tamara) should also have something and he gives her Zangief. She's appreciative. In-Universe, valid example.
• Literally the first shot of him in the Critic Tank Shark Jumping episode is giving a blowjob to his pen. That was more of a joke, but I'm not sure.
• Much like how Tom Hardy in the same position got appreciation from his fangirls (who get in-universe mocking later on in the episode), Critic muzzled and in iron handcuffs at the start of the Mad Max: Fury Road review. He's suffering and nothing about it is sexualized. Cut.
• In the Event Horizon behind the scenes, Doug is in some interesting positions for the “fire coming out of his ass” bit, and when Malcolm says he doesn't know what to make of it, Doug jokes “I'm going in the direction you thought I was going in, I'm going into porn”. Not intentionally sexy. Cut.
• Played for laughs in Hocus Pocus with Beth's "Come Little Children", as she's overly sexual with her broom and creeps the other witches out. Parody example. Keep.
• In Spawn, while it's not treated as such in-universe, Tamara in latex and a lot of belts is pretty appealing, as she pointed out herself. It's not treated as such in-universe, so does it stay?
• In The Phantom of the Opera (2004) behind the scenes, Tamara and Beth zoom in on Doug's ass and he shakes it for them. Seems to be playing with the trope, so I say keep it.
  Beth: Happy International Women's Day!
• While Jason is horrified, Doug lifting his shirt at the end of The Mountain and wiggling. Move to Fan Disservice.
• In Jem, both Critic and Malcolm are in drag, with the former in a pink top that falls right off his shoulder and Malcolm in a cut off shirt that shows his muscled arms. The music video at the beginning also alternates between intentional awkward and moves/poses where Doug totally knows what he's doing. Rewrite the example, there are some examples that seem to be played as fanservice.
• Much like how Holtzmann in the movie licking the gun is a favorite of queer girls, Aiyanna in the Ghostbusters review doing the same was instantly loved. Keep.
• Even before the review came out, there was intense thirst for Critic in chains and a kinky caption by Tamara. Maybe?
• In the review of Fant4stic, she's not in it very long and he goes back to normal clothes after five minutes, but the episode features Tamara in a low-cut tank and Doug in leather pants.
• The opening of Wonder Woman (2017) starts off with Doug shaking his booty, and Tamara as Wonder Woman whipping him. It's comedic and he ends up in pain. Fan Disservice.
• During the commercial break in the A Goofy Movie review, Doug models jeans by shoving his ass right into the camera. Keep.
• Parodied in Dragonball Evolution where Critic imitates Bulma showing some leg by twirling his non existent hair and rubbing his chest. Parodied, keep.
• Doug feeling himself up while covered in blood is a special kind of pandering. Pretty sure it's Fan Disservice given the context is he killed a ton of people.
• Malcolm as Finn gets some rare fanservice when he licks his weapon in The Last Jedi. Of course Doug was the one who suggested he do it. Keep, but cut the "Of course."
• Lampshaded in the 2017 livestream, where Doug's excited that flirting with Brad gets the donations going up and the others tell him to rub his nipple for more. Keep.
• The Batman Forever promo pictures had a lot of Doug's Critic shirt being cut open to show off his nipples. In the actual review beginning, he's annoyed and Tamara keeps groping him. The advert also has Doug in a tuxedo and modelling it to advertise. Since the "Batman nipples" are framed as weird and unsexy, and Critic isn't happy about them, this is more Fan Disservice. The tuxedo example might count.
• Chipwrecked is a wedding episode, so Doug and Malcolm are in handsome tuxes, even Devil Boner is in a shirt tux, and Tamara looks amazing in a bridal version of Hyper's costume. "These outfits aren't sexualized at all, and make total sense for the context of the scene, but I think they look sexy!" Cut.
• Sleepwalkers being so batshit seems to give Doug an orgasm in the first viewing, moaning "you do me good" and rubbing himself.
• The Wall has Tamara in a maid costume and Critic tormented/felt up by Body Horror creatures and shoved in a CGI cage for a few minutes. Plenty of people found Doug’s singing voice and said creatures sexy too. Only one that might be able to stay is the maid costume. Even detractors of the review note that part as a benefit.

FanDisservice.The Nostalgia Critic

• Critic half-naked should be a cause for celebration, but in Jurassic Park when there's visible rib showing, and his arm is skinnier than a teenage girl's, you're just left wanting to force-feed him that pizza. This is the same example that was in Fanservice, except now it's bad because of body shaming reasons. Which one do we cut?
• The "What's With All The Princess Hate?" title card. Critic in Tacoma's Belle costume should have been fanservice like the stripperific Link cosplay and the air hostess outfit in the first DVD menu, but instead he's miserable and so skinny that a woman's outfit is slipping off him. Maybe if it was rewritten to have examples other than body shaming.
• The TGWTG 4 DVD menu. The first one had Doug in a skimpy dress, the second was an incesty shower scene, the third advertisement was him shirtless and Depraved Bisexual, but while this involves uniforms and leather jackets, he intentionally makes himself look sicker than normal by smearing on eyeliner under his eyes. ...What? As someone who's never seen these DVDs I'm so confused.
• He went so above and beyond in the Sailor Moon “talking dick” scene that it was actually discussed in a real article: Rewrite to be objective and not complainy, and it can count.
  Anne Lee: In the flashback, the hypersexual 14 year old Nostalgia Critic with a metaphorical penis gun wears a black t-shirt and blue jeans. Remember when Nostalgia Critic showed us pictures of real 14 year old girls? You know, the ones wearing t-shirts and blue jeans? The ones who were decidedly not sexy? Again, it’s perfect example of how we as a society view male sexuality and female sexuality–dudes are hypersexual beings no matter how they dress, but female sexuality only exists when a woman or girl wears something sexy.
• Less physical and more mental, but he says in the Bridge to Terabithia review that he's lost all feeling in his balls since the Groin Attacks from the Brawl and Suburban Knights. Which means the vast amount of sex he's had never gave him that kind of pleasure. This is just Fridge Squick. Cut.
• He has “empty, hollow and not nearly over fast enough” offscreen sex with Eight Crazy Nights that sounds more like he ended up raping it than anything else. Ask That Guy had violent sounding sex before, but at least both participants kept sounding they were enjoying it. Can stay if we cut the part about Ask That Guy.
• Hard to enjoy the two attractive guys on the bed in "The Top 11 Strangest And Best Couples" when one wants to throw up at getting touched and unlike the millions of examples on TGWTG (from Doug even) of the same where they're at least enjoying the queer tease, the whole joke here is just gay panic. This might be able to stay if we cut the comparison to the other videos, since those have been discussed as not really being Fanservice either.
• Ever thought “oh hey we miss Doug getting Sexy Soaked Shirt scenes”? Well Ghost Dad gives that, just with the slight... twist... that he's committing suicide by soaking himself with gasoline and lighting a match. The sexy factor isn't really a thing unless you're looking for it. Cut.
• Son of the Mask gives us a long view of Critic's ass. This would be great if he weren't weeping brokenly about not being allowed to die. Same goes for Pearl Harbor and his version of Michael Bay when he's having a Heroic BSoD on the stairs. Demo Reel had done the same thing, objectified Donnie when he was sad to make a Male Gaze point, but it wasn't so jarring. The Demo Reel bit is definitely unnecessary. The rest also probably can be cut because it's not meant to be sexual.
• Played for Laughs in Ghost Rider 2, as Doug (in a wife-beater!) starts to masturbate, but his dick disintegrates and he's horrified for good reason. It Makes Sense in Context. Keep.
• The title card for the American Beauty editorial puts Doug's sad tired face on Mena Suvari's skinny under-age naked body. A jarring photoshop playing off a fanservice scene to make it funny counts as FD, but note that the original American Beauty cover is meant to be fanservice no matter how squicky people find it, so that might need to be tweaked. Also more skinny-shaming.
• The “Is Eyes Wide Shut Artsy Porn” title card◊ with shirtless Critic. It's not that he looks scared or is trying to cover himself, a lot of people like that, it's the masks behind him and how in the episode he talks about nightmares where he's broken down and exposed that makes it more invasive. Cut the first part about how people like seeing Critic scared in sexual situations. Jeez.
• Tamara is in cleavage-enhancing leather during Matrix Month, but she can't move her body or her face, and as she's been brainwashed, isn't wearing it of her own free will. Keep.
• Mr. Fanservice Zod is doing porn in The Haunted Mansion (2003), but only because his castration from the Man of Steel is so bad he gets money from Bile Fascination viewers.
• Doug's costume in the Fantastic Four (2005) review. It's tight and there's not much of it, but it's also eye-searingly orange and gets covered with dorito bits. In the making of, Doug is enjoying the hell out of it and tells Rob to quote Dune because he knows he wants to. At first Rob laughs “gay pride and loving it”. Tamara also says he looks like a gay Big Bird, and Doug corrects that he makes Big Bird look straight. Maybe? But the "Big Bird" part feels unnecessary.
• In Event Horizon, Critic bent over a table showing his ass and asking people to look up there would be heavy Ship Tease if his asshole wasn't the place of hell. Needs more context. Ship Tease with whom?
• Rob really wants to troll with a clipless 50 Shades review, promising that Doug, Tamara and Malcolm will take clothes off… and then it turns out that the re-enacting is done by sock puppets. No source for this quote, so I can't verify if this counts since it's a hypothetical.
• In Suicide Squad (2016), Rob as the Chart Guy starts to masturbate. Lampshaded by Critic who never wants to see that. Keep.
• In the Bay parody of what he'd be like currently doing the Got Milk commercial, Tamara is a prize, but she's giant grotesque boobs and huge lips. She's a parody of Fanservice, but it is meant to be comically exaggerated, so this might be valid.
