* BrokenBase: Has a very divided fanbase for numerous reasons. Content-wise, many people got mad over him [[HePannedItNowHeSucks giving unfavorable reviews to works considered classics]] like ''Final Fantasy VIII''. Outside of that, there are those who are upset about him taking money through Patreon but not putting out any new reviews or Counter Monkey videos. There was a tweet from April talking about how they bring in only around $1000 a month from Patreon (which is nothing to sneeze at) and then another tweet implying that they use the money to buy nerdy merchandise, rather than putting it towards the show and living expenses, angering these former fans further. Spoony now has only has a fraction of the following he once had as a result. He still gains a great deal of sympathy from people over his various physical and mental problems and people who believe he can make content like he used to and will defend him tooth and nail against his detractors.

* HePannedItNowHeSucks:
** Back when Noah did written reviews for magazines, he was one of the few critics to give ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' a negative review and received hate mail for it.
** His ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' review is his most well known for triggering this.
** He also has his vlogs, where he will openly criticize games and movies that he didn't like. Of particular note is a one-off [[Series/TheColbertReport Threatdown]] he did where he attacked ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series as [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks unchanging games that are given too much hype]]. He openly admitted that the games are well made, but there was still backlash to behold.
** Spoony's Anime reviewer, Dean the Adequate, also got his share of hate when he released negative reviews of ''Anime/LuckyStar'' and bashed the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' {{sacred cow}} that is ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' in a franchise retrospective.
** Spoony suffered another wave of backlash for completely savaging the ''Series/DeadliestWarrior'' video game of all things. Spike responded with a DearNegativeReader letter, which prompted a follow-up where Noah responded to the complaints against his review. It's apparently gotten bad enough that he started having to mass-ban trolls from the message board.
** His negative review of ''Film/TheExpendables'' has gotten plenty of detractors, not just from his fans at the comments section, but from his fellow TGWTG contributors as well.
** His bashing (to say the least) of ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' on Twitter attracted even more negative attention to himself.
** His ''Film/TronLegacy'' review wasn't free from this either.
** Spoony gets quite a bit of this from his consistent bashing of Creator/{{Nintendo}} and its products. His coverage of the company during E3 2011 comes to mind.
** Happened again when he posted his dislike of ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' on Twitter, and the backlash got rapidly out of hand.
** He declared that he found ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' to be just kind of [[SoOkayItsaverage okay overall.]] Two guesses how fans responded to that one.
** His review of ''VideoGame/UltimaUnderworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds'' came under fire for coming across as shockingly poorly-researched and half-hearted compared to the rest of his ''Ultima'' retrospective, with some feeling it to cross the line into outright misrepresenting the game. Spoony himself later admitted that he had to resort to heavily exaggerating the game's SequelDifficultySpike and EarlyGameHell, as most of the other comments he could have made about the game were essentially just re-treads of what he'd said about the first one.

* CondemnedByHistory: Spoony was considered one of the top tiers in the "Angry Reviewer" style of content creators, and was unquestionably one of the most well known internet content creators for his time. He first caught the internet's attention with his reviews for games in popular franchises like ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' and ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' during the late 2000s. But after joining Website/ChannelAwesome in 2008, he became one of the site's most popular critics thanks to his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} psychotic personality]], frequent crossover videos, and his wide range of review topics, including board games and tabletop [=RPGs=] like ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. However, he also faced backlash for his reliance on nitpicking and tendency to insult fans of works in his videos, frequently seen arguing with anyone who disagreed with his views. His bad attitude got him in trouble with Channel Awesome in 2012 after joking about raping WebVideo/JesuOtaku (who hadn't come out as transgender at the time), which led Noah to resign from the site shortly afterwards due to a backlash. From there, Spoony's worsening physical and mental health led him to clash with his most loyal fans over the handling of his opinions and content direction, along with his increasingly frequent [[ScheduleSlip hiatuses]]. With his admission to having no plans for a ''Spoony Experiment'' movie [[LyingCreator after crowdfunding for one]] in 2014, what little goodwill Noah still had left vanished. Spoony's former fans now see his critiques as shallow and hateful towards their subjects, and his molasses-slow update schedule means he's remained in obscurity. As such, it's highly unlikely that he'll ever achieve the same level of success ever again. With even his earlier work being forgotten, Spoony's rise and fall is now seen as a cautionary tale of [[{{Tragedy}} a man with promise whose worst enemy was himself]].
