He was never funny. Even when he does a few things I like, like the vintage commercials, it's something that would be done better by anyone less annoying.

He did curate a good deal of talent, though. Lindsay Ellis, Linkara, Todd, Rap Critic, Contrapoints, lots of stuff got started from his site.

Hes one of the few content creators that hasnt really seemed to evolve or change over the past 10-15 years. Seem format for his shows, the skits are still very much the same, drag on too long, and generally arent funny.

His review jokes are very hit or miss. Again, the ones he drags on or keeps using are typically the worst.

It was cool when he was making fun of easy pickings. But modern movies don't get that blatantly bad that often, so he doesn't have easy targets anymore (also stopped doing old movies so that he can do his stupid recreations)

I bet you you can pretty much predict the conclusion of every one of his videos, which is:

This movie is generally really (bad/good) but some people will find some parts of it (good/bad)

He said that about the new Ghostbusters, too, when the movie was just flat out bad with barely any redeeming qualities

Actually, since hes gotten himself a big studio and actors, him being compelled to use them in his show has made the show worse. The Nostalgia Critic format was at its best when it was just him sitting in front of a camera and a second person being shown was a rarity.

I watch Brandon Tenold too (amongst others) who never has a second person in his videos nor does he stop to act out a skit, and so I think of his show as being consistently good.

I think Doug will be the first to criticise a movie hes reviewing when the movie completely grinds to a halt to show a goofy, ridiculous and pointless joke. And yet that is exactly what hes doing in his own show.

Linkara has his own storyline segments, but he knows people dont watch Atop The Fourth Wall for the storyline and keeps them to the beginning and end of the review when he does them. I like Linkara but I always skip the storyline parts.

I have nothing against Malcolm and Tamera, but I prefer the simpler old low-budget format. I wish that someone would edit the clips out of the Nostalgia Critic so it only shows Doug in front of the camera reviewing a movie.

And those clipless shows are the worst. I tried to watch one when he first started doing them but I really dont care for them.

Also, I dont care that some choices arent actually nostalgic and are modern movies. He did Rise of the Skywalker a few weeks ago; obviously a clipless show so I didnt watch it.

I actually prefer his First Viewing show to the Nostalgia Critic now. Just Doug and Rob (and sometimes their father) on a couch talking about the movie they are watching. No script, just reaction and improvisation.

Still a worthless unnecessary sketch that gets in the way of the review.

I always skip the skits at the start of his reviews, but I still enjoy when it's just him in front of a camera. And I gave the clipless reviews a shot when they started. Liked the Jurassic World one as a one-time thing, but I skip all of them now after that godawful Mad Max Fury Road one.

I liked that episode, but I feel like that's more of a semi-justification of him not being capable of reviewing anything too negatively because there's a serious wall to his critiquing skills
