Is it me or is 90s Kid subverting himself more often then not lately? Maybe Lewis knows that he can't milk that one joke character forever.

Wow...

That is the first movie he's reviewed that was so utterly stupid, I can't even watch it all the way through.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

That was an amazingly painful movie, not exaggerating.

I laughed out loud at the Critic aping the girl's "bullshit!" It's schoolyard humor, but he sounded exactly like her!

If you can't watch TGWTG without frames dropping or going out-of-sync, upgrading to Flash 10.1 will help.

Just don't start out by watching...that.

One of the scenes of Futurama that got me to loudly boo at the screen was early in "The Cryonic Woman", when Fry decides to pick a famous celebrity to revive, passes over Weird Al Yankovic as one of the choices, and goes with Pauly Shore instead.

Now, thanks to this review, I can watch a group of people similarly abandon a Tenacious D concert to hang out with him.

What is with Pauly Shore and undermining musical comedy genius, anyway?

Agreed, Taelor.

Those poor employees.

I thought it was Spoony and some friends mocking a training video.
Then about when "Zelda" started talking, it began to slowly dawn on me that this thing actually is the training video, not a parody.

Wow. Just, wow.

Looks like Doug is trying out a new skit: Failed Auditions

The first one has his brother impersonating Sean Connery auditioning for the role of Darth Vader: Courtesy Link

I dunno about this. The idea has merit, but the execution on this felt waaay off. To me it just boiled down to someone with a bad Sean Connery accent making off-color jokes and generally acting like an ass. I've seen interviews and "behind the scenes" footage of Mr. Connery, and he seems like a very nice man. Nothing at all like this. They basically force the same dull sex-joke for several minutes.

I like most of Doug Walker's work, and I like the theory of the skit, but this didn't make me laugh, or even giggle. If he does more, I hope he gets a better impersonator on board and puts some more thought into the jokes. Y'know, tailor the jokes to the actor being ribbed.

What, did they do all their research by watching Celebrity Jeopardy skits?

Really, what most disturbed me about that comic was Miller's ever more apparent misogyny, particularly the Rape Is Love overtones.

Wow, what a botched adaptation of one of my favourite books. Then again, you're not in a very good position to start when you only adapted half the book in the first film. NC was still as funny as ever.

Now excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

Man, the first movie was already an inadequate adaptation of the book, but it at least had the decency to be a good movie in its own right. This one is just... terrible.

... also am I being a sexist jerk here or is the childlike empress ugly as butts?

In any case, that was a nice episode! The Critic used some actual jokes here instead of just screaming a lot, so that's good. I laughed especially hard at his version of how the movie should have ended, followed by him dancing to the song.
