I can recall a time (maybe 2006 or 07?) When he was actually sort of funny. Now... this new stuff is just sad. People oughta learn from the Simpsons to quit while they're ahead.

Interesting

It was just a couple weeks ago that I saw a topic that said that they were shocked he was still funny and that they still enjoyed his videos. I haven't seen any of them in a long time, so I can't really share my opinion.

The first vid I watched was 10 years ago around (The ghostbusters video) so I was 23, he was 10 years younger too, so his stupid potty humor was still kinda funny, he still to base it on his furstrationw hen he was younger,

But now that I'm almost 34, and hes in his 30s still doing these immature jokes, its bad.
I tried watching the Amiga video but couldnt take it, him talking like an angry kid is cringey now and seems forced.
I would rather just watch a regular video about the Amiga 32 but the facts probably will be more right.

His newest videos are the best he's done in years.

Toxic Avengers was honestly the lowest point AVGN has ever hit but the series has never been that bad since

Some of his stuff is still funny. His commercial specials are always a good time.

He just really needs to tone down all the skits.

Exactly. And his clipless reviews where it's the movie reenacted entirely by skits are complete unwatchable trash

His older episodes had less depth and more spamming of explicit metaphors. Amiga CD32 is one of the best videos he has ever put out

But hey, if you're more interested in seeing how many ways he could say "puking on a pile of goat shit" than actually talking about the games, that's your business.

The problem is the actual games really aren't all that remarkable. He's been doing it so long that this is past the point of routine for him. There's a middle ground between being entertaining and being informative, and he clearly can't strike the balance like he used to.

I say all this as a non-fan, mind you.

I think he's trying to give screentime to Malcolm and Tamara and some of his other cast members , which I can definitely respect, but surely there's a better way to do it.

Or at least write the skits to be less intrusive to the review.

It's a shame because Tamara herself is great when I watch her solo videos, but the writing in the NC skits is just incredibad

Malcolm is also pretty likable outside of the reviews.

They're both good, they just need better material written for them.

And honestly the Nostalgia Critic skits wouldn't even be that bad if they didn't go on for what feels like ages. Sometimes they take up like 3 minutes of a 20 minute review.

It feels like he's toned it down now and it's for the better.

He really should just stop making forced jokes and his videos would be 10x better. The last video I found funny was Seaman, and that's the last video that used clever jokes. (Well him inserting himself in the RE intro was pretty funny)

Nah Zero Punctuation has never been funny

Let's be real


Never saw the appeal. His voice is monotone and doesn't slow down or stop, so you barely have time to digest whatever he's saying. And even his positive reviews come off as pessimistic at times.

It seemed promising with the Earthbound video. However, I then watched the Dirty Harry game review and it was just plain terrible. Doesn't help Spoony did a much better job of it a decade ago.

The biggest problem the AVGN has is that he basically used up all the games he has actual nostalgia for a long time ago. Most of the new videos don't seem to have any passion behind them, just seems like he's going through the motions to get paid.

Yahtzee is one of the better voices in gaming and it's fine if he dislikes games that a lot of other people like. The problem is that he's really run the negativity into the ground over the years, to the point that it's often not really funny when he disparages a game, just sort of mean spirited.

I've seen every AVGN episode, I still watch it and enjoy it, but I've never watched the movie. I like the skits and non game-related stuff when it's at a minimum, so I probably wouldn't like it stretched out for that long.
