I often find the idea strange of reviewing a reviewer...but then again, it's a strange idea to gain internet fame by reviewing cartoons and movies from the last 20 years. Played by Doug Walker, The Nostalgia Critic is probably one of the famous nerds on the Internet. He regularly watches Cartoons, shows more love for the old versions of something than the new, and his only reviews of films from the past 5 years are presented by the character Chester A. Bum(Also played by Doug Walker). Oh, and he watches horrible movies while his brother (Rob Walker) records his reactions to it. I think his fame was made from the fact that he often tells how much he loves or hates things we like; I LOVE the Animaniacs while watching it on Nickoloden, and when he did a tribute three videos long WITH the producers and writers...It made me feel a connection with him. I also love the energy Doug Walker puts into his characters; His facial expressions and sudden outbursts of yelling often remind me of a child, who would probably react the same way we reacted when we were kids as well. The thing I hate the most about the Critic is how he will often do a joke that was kind of funny, but then drive it into the ground. The biggest offender is in the Junior Review, where there is a image of Arnold Swarzenager's face imposed on a child's face. The Critic reacts to it by spending 5 seconds screaming loudly at the image, running out of his seat, and into the bathroom and throws up for a good 20 seconds of the video. Thats pretty funny...He comes back, tries to continue with the review, and is shown the image again. It then cuts to A WHOLE MINUTE of Rob and a friend talking outside the door of the Bathroom, telling us how sick he is. 4 minutes for to joke about simple image is not funny. Occasionally it works if it calls for it, like the Rock Biter in the 3rd movie. The Critic spends a good 3 minutes detailing how great he is, but now looks like he is from a horrible sitcom, and most of his appearance is a song while riding a bike made of rock...in a fantasy world. THAT deserves 3 minutes of grief. But overall, the Nostalgia Critic has helped most of all by providing a home(That Guy With The Glasses.Com) for many reviewers to provide their love or grief on something they remember as a kid. Hell, he helped me discover this website and my love of cartoons again! Critic, we love ya.
A Lovable Nerd
