Top 10 Worst Things About the Nostalgia Critic

While I do enjoy most of NC's reviews, I have to admit that most of them are unbelievably flawed.
The Top Ten
1 He Makes Lots of Mistakes

Uh, dude, he made a list showing the mistakes he made. Everyone makes lots of mistakes! Besides, he looks like a pretty nice and normal guy, even though his reviews may seem a little out of hand and loud they're is always that center part of his reasoning and explaining that is just heartwarming or just fun too watch. Also in his Doug Walker reviews it's his true self, not the guy who jokes around, swears a lot, screams, and makes mistakes that most of us love. It's his true colors that show. He is my favorite critic, and always will be. (Also, CHECK OUT HIS COMMERCIAL REVIEWS! I ALWAYS DIE LAUGHING FROM THEM! And you will see Canada's opinion on rape. )

His entire series was a mistake.
This is highlighted in any of his clipless reviews. They're so stupid and it's a piss poor way to review something. We aren't able to see if the criticisms are valid unless we've seen the movie, and they're always still in theatres, so we'd have to pay money to see them. He's also just a complete hypocrite. He constantly says that toilet humor is awful when he uses toilet humor.

Thank you! Someone mentioned Phantom strider! Yeah, he's better that this guy and respects opinoins and cares about his fans. Nostalgia Critic, from all the years I watched, has not ONCE even say a simple thanks to the fans he does has.

Bobsheaux is also much better. Plus he has a more agreeable fanbase.

2 Has an Annoying Voice

Yep he sure does have a weird voice!

Absolutely piss- annoying. Jesus Christ.

Stupid screechy voice

3 Thinks Spider Man should be Dark and Broody like Batman

I agree, how the hell can you think the Amzing Spider-Man is better than the original. Andrew Garfield sucks as Spider-Man. And Nostalgia Critic sucks as a critic.

And plus, how the hell could he possibly think the amazing spider-man movies are better than the original moves?

He thinks every superhero should be dark and brooding, which would be stupid

And the worst part, he likes more the Mark Webb's spiderman

4 Doesn't Know Anything about Animals

When I watched his videos I was always annoyed about this, I was surprised to see it so high on this list. I have a vague memory of him not being able to tell the difference between a male and female lion in one of his Steven Universe videos. One of many pre-school level gaps in knowledge.

If you forget Blue+Yellow=Green, a Triangle has 3 sides, or that boy lions have manes, it's not normal.

Change animal with pokemon

5 Reuses Old Jokes

Pointless unfunny side characters

6 His Fans

Many of his fans seem to have the mentality that "if the Nostalgia Critic says its bad, it must be bad".

I'm not even exaggerating, here is a quote from a comment on one of his reviews "I still can't believe there are people who are actually coming out of the woodwork to DEFEND this movie. That's what's surprising to me."

To add even more shock this comment was extremely popular. Its very unsettling and cult-like.

I can't believe that there are fans who think that he's still funny.

His fans need to get a life.

7 He Swears A Lot

I agree a lot of reviewers on youtube swear too much

8 Is Loud

He makes fun of Chris Tucker for screaming high pitched yet he does the exact same thing.

When has screaming high pitched ever been funny?

9 He Hates Almost Every Good Movie

What you think is a good movie is entirely subjective. I disagree with the Nostalgia Critic on some things, yet he is entitled to his own opinion. The sharing of ideas is one of the many cornerstones of internet freedom, and if you don't like it, feel free to disagree. Just because someone doesn't like a movie you like doesn't necessarily mean all dissenting opinions should be barred from being expressed just because of "muh feelings". He's called the NOSTALGIA Critic for a reason.

Yeah no surprise he bashed one of my all time favourite movie sequels An American Tail: Fievel Goes West just because the "Tone is different and his precious Don Bluth wasn't in the credits" I think that film is very underrated and overlooked films of all time.

Most likely the movies people are referring to are movies like Rio and Jurassic World movies that are considered good, yet he thinks they are bad when of course they are not.

Not to mention that if he likes a movie, he gets so defensive about it that he should have a Top Tens account

10 He's a SJW

Welp, he is racist, sexist and discriminatory. So he might even surpass that level.

Gay liberal crew

The Contenders
11 Some Jokes Go on Longer Than Necessary

Some of the skits in his more recent reviews tend to get on my nerves in straying away from the actual review. Some aren't even that funny.

12 His Autism Joke in Ernest Saves Christmas

Personally, as I have Autism, I didn't know about this, neither was I offended but I didn't laugh either

As a sufferer of Autism, I was deeply offended by this.

I must say I agree with you, for I have autism as well

What's wrong with this joke? I'm autistic, and I take no offense at this.

13 His Actions Behind The Scenes as Revealed in the Not So Awesome Document

I hope Channel Awesome goes bankrupt someday and he ends up working at McDonald's or Walmart for the rest of his life!

Doug was at the very least complicit in the rampant sexual misconduct and other abuse going on at CA. Yet another reason to hate his guts.

14 He's Very Simple-Minded

People, stop watching his content already. He's a frigging idiot. He always shoves his opinion down your throats and is extremely pretentious, self entitled, stupid, unfunny, annoying, never brings up good points, and the thing I hate most isn't Nostalgia Critic. It's Doug. I really hate how he says Inside Out and Toy Story 3 are great, (when in reality they are monstrosities of film) yet he craps on far better films like Howl's Moving Castle, and Meet The Robinsons. His recent trailer for suicide squad and his reaction to his own trailer was where I drew the line. Why would he hype up his review of the films so much as to make a trailer for it? But more importantly, WHY IS HE REACTING TO IT?!?!?! I thought this was a movie review channel, not a cancerous reaction channel! I can see scraping the bottom of the barrel if he is going through money problems or is running out of content, but this is just pathetic.

He's extraordinarily, legendarily stupid.

Take for example, his "Disneycember" (what?) of Howl's Moving Castle.

(A lot of this post will be picking apart this video, so if you haven't seen the video or the film, this probably won't make any sense.) He says that it's completely unfocused and it's hard to remember what's happening. Have you considered that it's actually very comprehensible? He also says that Howl has no motivation. Oh. My. God. Calcifer said that he wanted to break the contract with Howl. Howl says that Sophie is his motivation. You're points are not valid like you say they are. You're a terrible critic. He says that the stairs scene is awful and pointless. It may be unpleasant, but it sure isn't pointless. It's supposed to symbolize The Witch Of The Waste slowly aging. He also says it's dull. In what way is it dull? It has a lot of plot. And don't tell me it's complicated. You just have to pay attention to the film. Which he clearly didn't do. ...more

Speaking of Howl's Moving Castle, please put "He is harsh on Howl's Moving Castle" on this list. - The Ultimate Daredevil, who is ready to bloodily harm Howl's Moving Castle dislikers since they are cyberbullies like Thiti2000 and Austin Plaz

His emotions and biases overpower his intellect. There is also a lack of vocabulary, mainly him just swearing.

15 His Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare

I played the game and I am a Simpsons fan and I hated the game

16 He is Now Bringing His Political Beliefs Into His Reviews

I understand that The Nostalgia Critic is free to have whatever political beliefs he wants and all that, however I don't think he should be bringing them into his reviews because politics are not something you should really be bringing into everything or something you should bring up in polite company and unfortunately Nostalgia Critic just brings into his reviews like it's no big deal. That's where I draw the line at.

The reason is stopped watching Nostalgia Critic because I was just tired of hearing all of the unnecessary, forced & unfunny Trump jokes!

Seriously Doug! Enough With The Trump Jokes!

If only Nostalgia Critic were a lot more tolerant towards Blue Sky Studios despite how oversized Ice Age is. I would talk about politics, but I don't really have anything to say about them. - The Ultimate Daredevil

17 His Hatred Of Pokemon

I think he should not have done the review of the first movie. He knows nothing of the series, and he had no one to guest star. I seen the first movie and it's not that bad. I purposely didn't watch his review of the movie, because I know I'll be FURIOUS!

I Know That His Opinion Is That He Doesn't Like Pokemon But When I Saw Him Talk About The Gameboy Commercial and Wanted the Pokemon to Die It Made Me Want to Get in a Fist Fight with Critic Himself

He's insulted pokemon 4 times, I can understand that he doesn't like pokemon but come on just stop being so harsh on it especially since 2/3 of your fanbase are pokemon fans

18 He's Gotten Worse Over Time

Please put "He Doesn't Really Like Big Hero 6", "He Hates Hercules", "He Hates the Cars Trilogy", "His Imposter Called The Real Nostalgia Critic" and "He Didn't Review Bratz: The Movie That Starts With Doug Walker Reasonably Bashing the Bratz Franchise" on this list.

He should just stop making videos he's not funny anymore!

19 He Considers The Lion King to Be Overrated, Yet He is Oblivious to Frozen's Flaws.

I understand that we should respect other people's opinions and I understand the criticisms he made on The Lion King in his Disneycember review, but the only flaw he had with Frozen was about the Elsa and Anna's backstory being too rushed, yet he doesn't realize that the entire plot was rushed, that the characters don't have much personality, and that Hans was made to be a last-minute villain-in-disguise when there were other much better villains with this characteristic (e.G. , Professor Quirrell in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone). Again, I'm not against Doug Walker's opinions and I don't hate Frozen, I just think the movie's overrated and wish that Doug could explain more about Frozen's cons while still outlining the pros in his Disneycember review. Hopefully CinemaSins could help him realize the film's flaws.

Ah, the reason that was only added to this list because all the Frozen haters are mad that Doug doesn't hate the movie like they do

20 His Overuse of Dark Humor

It wouldn't be so bad if he weren't to put down toilet humor so much and pretend that "shocking" dark humor is somehow more classy than toilet humor.

Most of it goes on in the series to the point where it's not really funny. Just hard to watch.

Nostalgia Critic hates toilet humor, yet he is putting toilet humor in his own channel.

21 His Constant Trash Talking Of Michael Bay

Welp, a Steven Speilberg hater that has no respect for stop-motion is your average fan-brat of live-action films based on cartoons is your average Michael Bay defender including of Bayformers, The Last Airbender and Bratz: The Movie. But yes, Bad Boys is one of the few films that show that Michael Bay can actually make a worthwhile film.

I give Bay some credit to diversifying the way movies are made; Bad Boys and the first (or third) Transformers movie weren't your typical cookie cutter movies.

Don't understnd Michael bay style and don't know how analysis picture like in Snyder movie

22 He is Very Picky
23 His Obsession with Batman

Every single time he mentions a superhero movie or cartoon he always has to compare it to Batman, and I'm sick of him saying Batman TAS was the cartoon that changed everything, cause it's not, if anything, Spawn TAS handled that tone way better than Batman TAS, you know why? Because Spawn was full on dark and gritty, Batman was pretty serious too but not nearly as much, and in terms of the movies, once again Batman wasn't the only one who was making movies with a darker tone, Blade came out the same year as the first batman movie and they had pretty simillar tones, and we had 3 X-men that came out 5 years before the dark knight trilogy came along. I'm just so sick of him and all these other people that always praise the batman movies or cartoon on being the first ones that have a serious tone, cause they weren't

Now I'm fine with people being obsessed over things, but when someone like the Nostalgia Critic says "How can I get Catherine Zeta-Jones in a Batman outfit? ", then that's taking it a little bit too far.

What the hell is this, I don't EVEN

24 He Thinks the Amazing Spider-Man Movies Are Better Than The Originals

No Doug, just no! These movies are far from that description, and it really annoys me that whenever he says something bad about the original movies he praises the new movies saying, they did nothing wrong

How can you think The Marc Webb Spider-Man series is good it's pathetic.

After seeing what happened to TASM franchise, I would love to see how he feels about it now

25 He Hates Robin Williams

No, he doesn't! He hates the "Robin Williams Formula," not the late and great Robin Williams!

Robin Williams is the man
