    I can't stand to watch Nostalgia critic after seeing that teardown from "The Wall," but going through DeVito's page sent me down a nostalgia rabbithole. IASIP is brilliant, I really gotta catch up...

    IASIP is brilliant, I really gotta catch up on it. The Nightman Cometh still cracks me up every time.

    But Death to Smoochy was also a fun film, but that really just reminded me of how amazing Robin Williams was outside of comedy roles....specifically in One Hour Photo.

      Is this the teardown you were talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rokAtlFGa7Y That was a fascinating video. It's also not very surprising; as I said, NC is very hit and miss. Personally...

      That was a fascinating video. It's also not very surprising; as I said, NC is very hit and miss. Personally I don't enjoy the character itself at all. His "Career Dive" series isn't in character.

        Yes, that was it. I might give it another go but man right now it's still almost a reflexive desire to punch in the face.

      I haven't been able to tolerate the show (or anything else from Channel Awesome) ever since it came out how abusive and sexist the management is.

          This came out a few years ago https://www.dailydot.com/upstream/channel-awesome-sexual-misconduct-allegations/

          This came out a few years ago

          On Monday, an extensive Google doc was published on Twitter that contains more than 20 accounts from former contributors, with accusations ranging from poor communication and management skills to verbal abuse and bullying to sexual misconduct and harassment. The document also includes anonymous accounts of misconduct against a former producer who was not named.
