      I still like the wall, but my only critic is some subjects kinda don’t connect. Though I would probably say; that is probably the point. The wall is a metaphor of walls we build around ourselves. It’s meant to connect to anybody, and that is kind of hard to make connections.

      @@christopherlowery3797 Doug clearly has delusions of grandeur. Nobody wants to listen to him croon for forty fucking minutes about his thoughts on an album that came out even before he was born.
      It would be like if I decided to make an hour long soliloquy on why I don't like Gone With The Wind. Who in their right minds would wait through an hour of my dumb ass saying a whole bunch of nonsense that boils down to "The movie was too long and Scarlett was a bitch"?

      First of all, Doug is a great show, and second of all, move on Mr. Walker. I remember getting teased as a kid for liking Thomas the Tank Engine, and sure it annoyed me then, but I moved past it pretty quick and now we laugh about it whenever I talk about it with my longtime friends.
      But that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface at the amount of shitty jokes he tried to make running gags.

      Well it's either that or both of those arms are punching through the wall at the same time and his left hand isnt far away but just really disproportionately tiny compared to his right hand.
      OR his entire upper torso went smashing through the wall at once, cartoon style.

    *Roger Waters:* "Y'know, I fear my rock star status is seriously starting to alienate me from my fellow man, and that kind of makes me depressed and fear for my sanity. And so I feel I must ruminate on what brought me to this point, like my childhood spent without my father, who died before I was born, an adolescence living under a hellish authoritarian school system and the constant fear of nuclear annihilation happening at any time and without any warning. Of course, there is also my struggles with the anxiety of living under a modern, capitalist system and the fear that the forces of Fascism that my father gave his life to stop might one day come back and that I might turn out insane like my best friend, Syd. I'd like to imagine that a lot of my generation feel this way, and it might bring them comfort and contemplation to hear these feelings reflected in art."

    “Leave The Wall Alone” Lyrics:
    (Verse)
    We don’t need this lame-ass album
    Just seems like you’re trying to troll
    Hope you wrote big checks to Scallon
    Critic, leave ‘The Wall’ alone
    (Chorus)
    Hey, Critic
    Leave ‘The Wall’ alone
    All in all it’s just not very funny at all
    All in all it’s just not very funny at all
    (Verse)
    We don’t need this awful album
    Wondering if you have a soul
    Hope you made it rain on Scallon
    Critic, leave ‘The Wall’ alone
    (Chorus)
    Hey, Critic
    Leave ‘The Wall’ alone
    All in all it’s just not very funny at all
    All in all it’s just not good

    Honestly the analogy to hating The Wall because a kid in school who wore a Dark Side of the Moon t shirt beat you up is pretty apt considering Doug has gone on record saying he hates the tv show Doug all because kids in school bullied him since he shares the same name. At first the running joke was funny, to hate something over such a petty reason but now his pettiness levels are so off the charts even when he's "out of character" that I can't discern the difference between Doug the person and Nostalgia Critic the character. He talks about certain films being pretentious when he himself is pretentious and seems to have a self inflated ego about him. I don't really care if he likes or dislikes something I like or vice versa but he is guilty of many of the things he is critical of, like not being funny or entertaining in the last 5 or more years.

      I know right, like kids in school would constantly call me Patrick Star because I shared the same first name as the character. But I'm not going to blame the show and never watch it for that. Doug really can be childish... Okay no, he's always childish. He needs to grow up.

      I know this comment is like a year old now, but since then I've actually seen some examples that show that Doug, despite all the flaws I mentioned, can at least take criticism a lot better than others. The recent OneyPlays stuff and how he reacted to it shows that Doug isn't nearly as egotistical as I made him out to be, or at the very least, has a much better temperament than a lot of folks on the internet. So in that regard, I gotta pay respect where respect is due.

    My main problem with this, aside from being a comedy black hole, is the insensitive implications of some of the jokes and comments Doug makes, whether intentional or not, and the way he takes things out of context in very degrading ways. He interprets Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2 as “school sucks because all my teachers hate me and I don’t wanna do homework so I must rebel against the system,” when it’s actually much more serious and not really something to be joked about. The song was inspired by Roger Waters being abused by his teachers as a child, during a time when it was perfectly legal for teachers to perform verbally, and in some cases physically abusive practices on students. With that added context, the jokes Doug makes seem to imply that Roger’s abuse wasn’t a big deal and he was just overreacting because of hormones. Same with When The Tigers Broke Free (which is about Roger’s father dying in war). I’m not saying you’re not allowed to make fun of The Wall because it deals with these themes. I’ll admit I think it’s a pretty stupid movie at times, and I’ve seen very good and funny parodies of it. But good parodies make fun of the movie, not the horrible context in which it was made. This is a perfect example of how context is everything.

    • @Silverstar_
      @Silverstar_ 5 ปีที่แล้ว +104

      Doug tried to retire the Critic twice, but each time fan outcry and the failure of CA's other projects led to Doug bringing the character back.
      The feeling I get with Doug is that he really wants to break free of the Critic and do more ambitious stuff, but after Demo Reel flopped with viewers and the Pop Quiz Hotshot debacle blew up in the channel's face, he's become reluctant to try anything without the NC label slapped on it. There's also the matter of Doug signing away the rights to the Critic character to CA president Mike Michaud, so he's probably more or less forced to continue NC for the algorithm.
      Bloating the Critic episodes with story lines, filling them with more and more sketches and performances from his troupe and making them extra long seems to be his way of doing Demo Reel type stuff while keeping fans of the Critic happy, unfortunately these latest NCs just haven't been very good. The whole "angry reviewer" shtick is best taken in small doses and doesn't really lend itself to a 30 + minute format. Most of the online personalities who gained notoriety around the same time as Doug (James Rolfe, Lewis Lovhaug, Lindsey Ellis, etc.) have since improved their crafts and evolved their shows beyond just screaming angrily at media; unfortunately the same can't be said of Doug. He can be funny when he has a good concept, but he really needs to move away from the constraints of the NC and learn to better hone his craft.
