I have been a big fan of the Nerd Rant scene for awhile. It was started by the AVGN or Nostalgia Critic, but the style has branched out and encompassed an entire subculture. Mr. Enter is one of the more "controversial" figures in the scene.
Mr. Enter clearly knows what he's talking about, has defined morals, and does not condescend to fans. He thinks about episodes in new ways and often plays Devil's Advocate, especially when the topic is MLP. He taught me to think of what I am watching in a different light and what goes into making a good/bad work.
One very close parallel I can draw is to film critic Pauline Kael, and I mean this in a good way. Like Enter, Kael emphasized morals, and appreciated what a film could do right. she was also a strong evaluator and never held back on her opinion, good or bad.
Mr Enter's format and style are an acquired taste, but dig a little deeper and you will see a well thought-out and insightful commentary.
My one nitpick with him was his voice, but even that started to grow on me.
