He really isn't an inspiration. First off, the Critic isn't an average man's opinion. He's a character who passes himself off as a real critic. Furthermore, he's beyond flawed. All his flaws represent everything wrong with internet reviewers whether they're like the Critic himself, video bloggers, etc.
Obnoxious? Check. Nitpicking? Check. Research failure? Check. Annoying fanbase (no offense) that takes his word as law? Check. I'm sorry but the Critic is also a failure of a critic given "because he's... Asian?"
He doesn't challenge us at all and there aren't useful lessons to take from those reviews beyond "look, you can get money like this."
Meh. whatever. We each have our opinions and none are truly right. You say what you will and I\'ll say what I will. I just really enjoy his work and hope he does it as long as he enjoys it (any further and we reach Family Guy levels of bad).

An Inspiration
I'm not some super smart critic that knows the complex world of fiction as we know it nor am I a creative Genius. But, what I am is an average person and in the end, the average person's opinion is what counts. So, here's my review.
Now, relatively, I'm a new comer to the Critic's fanbase, being a part of it for about eight months. But, I have a lot of free time so I've watched quite a few of his reviews on Youtube so I think I have a general idea of his works. On one hand, you got bad spelling, swing and a miss jokes and rants that can get rather preachy. But, I say this makes him better, not worse. Why? Because it shows us that Doug and the Critic are flawed people and still have room to improve and grow, becoming better and better at what they do.
On the other hand, we got amazing humor, funny and creative sketches (Dodges various objects thrown at him), lessons hidden within the reviews, and, most importantly, a challenge to us to view the works of fiction, see beneath their skin and determine for ourselves whether or not they are good or bad, harmful or not while also giving us a guide on how to do so.
I'll admit, there are some parts I'm not fond of. Seeing the Critic being tormented and tormenting others was barely amusing at first and now rather pitiful. And I hope one day that Doug will let Critic grow as person once more. But, I'll have to say, considering all the goods and the bads, 8.5/10. Great but still got a lot of work to do.
And I's like to thank Doug and Critic for giving me the motivation to let my opinion be heard to the world. With that said, I only have one last thing to say.
Ahem...
"ZUUL, MOTHEFUCKER! ZUUL!!!"
Hehe, I've always wanted to do that.
