Revision as of 08:39, 14 July 2011
| Doug Walker is part of the TGWTG Circle-jerk Be sure to say "Hi" to the gang! |
Doug Walker (a.k.a The Nostalgia Critic, That Guy With The Glasses or simply That Guy) is a terrible actor who performs a multitude of extremely unfunny routines ripping on terrible actors, exclusively for Thatguywiththeglasses.com. He is one of the site's co-founders and the first person to contribute to the site. He is in many ways similar to his friend and co-contributor TheSpoonyOne, because both fail in every possible way. Doug is directly responsible for the creation of numerous forced memes, perhaps more than any other single human being in history. He relies on these in all his work, particularly his Nostalgia Critic reviews, as he posesses no actual talent, and more often than not, knows nothing about the material he's reviewing. His other methods of generating lulz include screaming, whining, having lots of cameos, and completely ignoring the source material to make jokes that take 5-minutes to deliver.


He is also said to produce the most annoying sound known to man.
Doug Quits His Job
In 2009, after Doug started making $53,000 off of his shows on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, on top of making the site $11,000 in donations, he decided that being a household name and Grade-A celebrity meant that he could make possibly the stupidest decision in his life: quit his day job as an illustrator. Because having a steady source of income in an uncertain economy is overrated, right? He may realize what a stupid decision he made when his site inevitably fails and goes under, since it has become a bloated and unwatchable mess, teeming with talentless hacks and pathetic manchildren.
Common sense dictates that one approach a career change in some manner commensurate with the job security of the target career, and no one would rate Internet Celebrity as a particularly secure job. No, in fact, most people would tend to view it as easily the riskiest fucking job prospect imaginable; consequently, most people would take careful measures to ensure their old job remains a viable fallback. Well, most people don't share Doug's sense of USI, which motivates him to treat the whole affair as though he had just sold Facebook, strutting about his soon-to-be-former workplace with camera-weilding Rob in tow, as Doug imagines himself putting it to the man, but actually manages only to annoy and insult his former coworkers.
Of course, it's not like he can ever get a real job again, since he burnt as many bridges as he could while quitting. No sane employer will hire somebody with a video like this haunting them. Let's hope that his current job as being an unfunny hack lasts!
Doug's Other Characters
In addition to The Critic, Doug has a number of other characters at his disposal. Some of them have their own series of videos, while others just make cameo appearances whenever they're needed. Either way, you'll have plenty of opportunities to see them, as one of them is bound to show up if Doug can't get some other contributor on the site to make a cameo appearance in his latest Nostalgia Critic review. Most of these characters are played by Doug, his brother Rob, or M. Night Shyamalan. Below are some of Doug's more well-known characters.

As if we didn't have enough things calling themselves "That Guy With the Glasses", this asshole shows up and adds one more to the pile. That Guy is Doug wearing a bathrobe while pretending to be a dangerous psychopath who acquired a large amount of money by some unknown means. He does the "Ask That Guy" routine where he answers questions in disturbing ways and generally tries to be as offensive as possible.

A homeless man wearing a Stan Marsh hat with a severe drug addiction (Because making fun of homeless people makes you look like a nice guy, amirite?) who somehow is able to afford tickets to whatever movie is playing at the time. He then posts "bum reviews" giving his opinion on it. Like the Nostalgia Critic, Chester's "reviews" are basically plot summaries, but instead of being full of screaming and cameos, it's full of drug-induced nonsense. Doug gives his actual opinion at the end of the review, but it's in the form of a single line on the "The End" card. An example is "But seriously, it's okay." Great reviewing skills, right?

A bartender who supposedly works at a bar that a lot of 90s Video Game characters go to for a drink. There they tell Dominic stories about their personal lives, usually having to do with sex, drugs, or just being batshit insane. Dominic then relays these stories to you through a series of videos called "Video Game Confessions". The stories almost always portray people horribly out of character and frequently ignores their canon. This might be excusable if they were actually funny, but they are really about as entertaining as watching grass covered in wet paint grow. For a (speculated) example of Doug's tendency to fuck up the canon of beloved game characters, he made an unfunny video starring Solid Snake, and how he recounts the death of his parents right in front of his eyes. Wait a second, isn't Solid Snake a clone? Yes, he is. After realizing that he completely fucked up thanks to the many angry emails from Douchey McNitpick on how he got Snake's origin story wrong, he covered his ass by making a follow up video that basically tries to nullify the first one. Still, that's a pretty huge thing to fuck up on if you're making parody videos with popular video game characters. The humor also appeals to the lowest common denominator, and this means that the jokes are always painfully predictable. An example: LOL HERPDERPDERP STAR FOX IS A FURFAG LOLOL. Dominic is also supposed to be British, but even Sean Connery does a better fake british accent than Doug Walker.

Perhaps the most noteworthy of Doug's characters is not one used in one of his less popular routines, but rather is Doug's attempt to make fun of the people who troll him. Because Doug only posts his content on a site he has complete control over, he is not used to handling people who are not mindless drones who applaud his every move. So when Doug realized that there were people pointing out inaccuracies in his reviews, he responded by admitting to being wrong with the help of Douchey McNitpick, Doug's representation of the despicable people who dared to criticize his work. He seemed to be hoping that this character would either scare them all away or encourage them to comment on his work similar to how his fans do (in other words, not criticize it).
Despite what Douchey is intended to do, he's not really much of a troll. His methods of trolling seems to be correcting various inaccurate statements Doug has made (very minor ones at that) and finishing all his sentences with some sort of childish insult. The fact that Doug actually considers this to be trolling shows how sensitive he really is. Also rather amusing is the fact that Doug decided to call this character Douchey McNitpick, as it's a very good description of the Nostalgia Critic's character.

One day a film called The Dark Knight was released which ruined both comic books and movies alike. The reason being is we see assholes like Doug make costumes based on Heath Ledger's Joker who forever ruined the character after Jack Nicholson and Mark Hamill worked so hard to make non comic fags take Batman seriously. Yet Doug didn't get his money's worth with his costume and decided to make an even shittier video, reusing the outfit and calling himself Melvin. This video is what people point to disprove Doug's claims of being a professional improvisational actor. Melvin is the even more aspie version of the Joker and it's absolutely impossible to sit through this entire video. Go ahead and try for yourself. Even if you get drunk ahead of time you'll sober up before the one minute mark. The most dedicated of TGWTG fans who did sit though this voiced out against Doug slamming him for producing the biggest piece of shit besides all of his other work which somehow is never an issue. This was the first and last time outside of his stupid Top 11 Fuck Ups videos you will see Doug cave into creative criticism. Doug later apologizes for it and is facing several dozen lawsuits for putting young children into comas for watching the worst thing imaginable. Well, until Kickassia came out.

An unholy fusion of a shitty parody, a shitty character, and a shitty forced meme, Dr. Smith is part of Doug's army of recently created characters whose only purpose are to make fun of one movie's bad acting. In this case it is based on the similarly named villain of the 'Lost in Space' movie, who turns into some kind of evil CGI spider monster near the end of the movie. The only thing Doug's version of Dr. Smith (which looks more like a zombie than a spider thing) does is talk about spiders while bouncing around like Chester A. Bum. He is always surrounded by fugly special effects that make it look even less like he's supposed to be a mutant spider creature.

A drawing of Casper the friendly ghost, who has the misfortune of being voiced by Doug Walker, and thus is an asshole. As if Doug's voice wasn't painful enough to listen to already, Doug's voice acting for the character is done in a high-pitched voice even higher pitched voice than usual. Fortunately Doug killed(?) Casper at the end of the very same review he first appeared in by dissolving him in a pool of water. Unfortunately, the little bastard lives on in Doug's "Timing!" running gag.

If you're familiar with a cartoon called Captain Planet, you may remember how Ma-Ti, the South American kid, ended up with the shitty power of heart because the writers couldn't think of a better fifth element. You may have even made fun of him; many have, and that's exactly what Doug was doing when he made this character... more than a decade after everyone else stopped giving a shit. Doug's version of Ma-Ti is played by Bhargav Dronamraju, Doug's special effects guy, and is one of Doug's first characters played by someone other than Doug himself. Aside from his impulsive shouting of the word "heart!" whenever he attacks someone, the only times he's ever talked about anything even remotely Captain Planet-related is in his first appearance and one of Linkara's comic reviews. More often he his found acting extremely gay and attacking people for no apparent reason. He always talks like a robot with a sinus infection and Doug can't seem to decide whether he's supposed to be the real Ma-Ti or an impostor. Heeding the cries of absolutely no one, Doug gave the half-character Ma-Ti a major role in the recent shitfest Suburban Knights. Thankfully, he was killed.
A character played by Rob Walker. Half Santa, half Jesus. Pretty self explanatory. Half of his lines consist of "HO HO HO!" and the other half consists of Rob trying too hard to seem badass. First appeared in the 2009 Christmas Nostalgia Critic review, but is best known for getting murdered by the Nostalgia Critic in 'Kickassia', who summons a tidal wave of cameos to resurrect him, and then dumps him in a bin when that doesn't work. Good job solidifying the fact that your characters are unlikable assholes, Doug!

Like Dr. Smith, Terl was created to make fun of just one movie's bad acting. In this case, a similarly-named evil alien drunkard/psychologist metaphor from Battlefield Earth. Despite being played by Spoony, he first appeared in the Nostalgia Critic's review for the aforementioned movie, so he can kind of be considered a character for both reviewers. He pretty much does exactly the same thing as Dr. Smith except he insults people more. Originally Terl was supposed to have died at the end of the review due to Doug thinking that radiation is like gasoline vapor, but Spoony has started using the character in his own reviews, so apparently he actually suvived.
Running Gags
|
WARNING: FORCED MEMES AHEAD! A Doug Walker meme is a forced meme. Do the world a favor and don't use any of them. |
As mentioned previously, Doug has a ton of hilarious jokes which he relies heavily on to make his Nostalgia Critic reviews. In most cases, his running gags refer to some previous review where Doug made a 5-minute joke about some otherwise unremarkable scene. Doug's jokes range from original to flat out stolen (but most of his recent ones lean toward the latter), and his use of them also varies in terms of how shoehorned-in they are, but no matter what, they are always forced and always unfunny. Because of his status on That Guy With The Glasses, Doug's memes tend to be picked up by lesser contributors fairly quickly, and occasionally manage to go beyond the boundaries of TGWTG and plague the rest of the internet. Listed below are some of Doug's more noteworthy gags:
"Of Course!" is one of Doug's oldest and most successful forced memes running gags, originating from his review of the Street Fighter movie. For whatever reason, Doug thought that a clip of M. Bison turning around and saying "Of course!" was worthy of being a meme, so he started playing the clip every time he mentions world domination. Using this meme seems to be a job requirement for TGWTG contributors, as every single fucking one of them uses it at one point or another. Although the meme is rarely used as it's intended outside of TGWTG, the clip itself has become rather popular. The overall character of M. Bison (the movie version), is something of a meme on TGWTG, as evidenced by the fact that Doug spends the majority of Kickassia dressed as the character.

Another fairly successful meme created by Doug (though some claim it was created by the Nostalgia Chick), a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment is Doug way of describing an extremely fucked-up scene that has no relevance to the rest of the movie and is never explained. It was first used in the Nostalgia Critic's review of Ferngully, which had the Nostalgia Chick as a guest star, explaining the debate over who created the meme. While less popular among co-contributors that the aforementioned meme, the Big-Lipped Alligator Moment is frequently used by his fans to describe situations that fit the criteria. It also has an ENTIRE FUCKING PAGE on TV Tropes. Such is to be expected from them though, as they will suck Doug's dick at any given opportunity.

Doug's favorite prop to use in his Nostalgia Critic reviews is a toy gun, which he pretends is real. The first time he pulled out this piece of shit was in his review of Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, where he used it to become an hero after hearing a song about how you can say no to Drugs. Unfortunately, he was only pretending, so he lived to use the gun in later reviews. Since then he's used it only when he pretends to have a fit of rage and waves it all over the place. The effect he uses when pretending to fire the gun is to make the entire screen flash white for a brief moment. Anything that gets hit by a "bullet" fired from Doug's gun explodes as if it were hit by a rocket. It's unknown if this is supposed to be funny or if Doug actually thinks a tiny pistol can do that sort of damage, but knowing Doug the latter seems likely. You probably would never have thought that a fucking prop could become a forced meme, but sadly, that is precisely what has happened. Many other TGWTG contributors have started carrying toy guns around which they use to unleash their fury (or kill themselves). Linkara, another TGWTG-exclusive reviewer who frequently cameos in Doug's work, has used not one, but five different types of toy guns in his comic reviews.
The Wizard was a 90s movie about an autistic boy playing Nintendo games. Since Nintendo is the manchild's game developer of choice, It has a high appeal among Doug's fans. So naturally it spawned not one, but two running gags. The first is about the movie's "villian", a boy named Lucas, who Doug pretends to be gay for. His most famous scene involves him blatantly advertising the Power Glove, which Nintendo couldn't go 5 minutes without mentioning back when they were selling the NES. The other is the retarded way the main character says "California", which Doug has plenty of of opportunities to use as he loves talking abut how bad Arnold Schwarzenegger was at acting.
Originated from one of Doug's Nickelodeon month reviews. While talking about a shitty Canadian sitcom called "You Can't do that On Television", the Nostalgia Critic compares the show's tradition of dumping slime on anyone who says "I don't know" to having the Burger King pop up whenever he says "elephant". As you probably guessed, just that happens. Because it's very hard to come up with a situation where someone would be expected to say "elephant", Doug often uses it to stop a relatively short-yet-noisy scene that Doug looped to make it look more annoying. In other words, he makes us sit through a scene that was intentionally made more annoying just so he could summon the Burger King to rape you.
Another shitty Nickelodeon Month meme, this time about an extremely boring cartoon from Nickelodeon's early years. Talking about the cartoon or hearing it's theme song would make the Nostalgia Critic recall being bullied by his peers due to him having the same first name as the main character and subsequently make him lose his shit and start crying.

Whenever a character does something stupid in a stereotypical sitcom you would hear a trumpet making a "waa waa waa" noise as someone shrugs in disbelief. Doug started this shit with his Mortal Kombat review. After a while in future videos he stopped shrugging altogether and just made the noise himself. Yet he made the noise in the most graphic and unfunny manner possible.
A scene from some movie Hulk Hogan starred in where Christopher Lloyd gets in an argument with Hogan and randomly decides to inform him that he was, in fact, frozen earlier that day. It's apparently funny because the phrase doesn't fit in any conversation other than the one in question, despite the fact that this can be said about a lot of movie lines. Probably used because Doug can get away with referencing it any time.
A byproduct of Doug's cluelessness, Mako is a dead azn known for his deep, scratchy voice, and his tendency to play roles as old wise men. He had quite a few fans, so when when Doug made fun of his voice acting in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (which he played near the end of his life), fans raged and made lots of angry comments. What they didn't realize is that Doug had no idea who Mako was or that he was dead so soon afterward he apologized for the remark and assured his fans he does not dislike Mako. Since then, he has always been hesitant to make fun of Mako, who appeared in several movies the Nostalgia Critic reviewed afteward.

Fuck off Doug, not only did you blatantly steal this meme, but you resurrected one that everyone was happy to see die.
Whenever Caper the Ghost appears to point out bad timing. It's also something that Doug's comical routine lacks.
Something Joel and the bots said all the time on MST3K when pointing out shitty actors dialogue.
Doug sometimes pretends to have a conversation with someone who acted in the movie he's currently reviewing. Usually this results in him using a well-known recording of the celebrity swearing at someone over the phone after having consumed a large amount of alcohol and pretending they're angry at the critic for criticizing they're work.
Yet another Nickelodeon month gag (Yes, Nickelodeon month really was that bad.) originally used in his retardedly misinformed ramblings about Rugrats. When talking about Angelica, he slowed down her "evil" laughter to make it sound scarier. He's reused this in several other reviews to show how unintentionally creepy some lines in kids' movies are. Obviously, it's another fucking pointless part of the reviews that are only meant to stretch out the running time because Doug couldn't think of anything else to say.
There are numerous points in the series when the Nostalgia Critic invents a catchphrase where, to make it funny, he adds "fuck" to it in any variation. In one instance, to parody the movie "My Pet Monster" and the fact that nobody was really reacting with terror when they noticed that the main character had transformed into a blue ball of shit, Doug played an unfunny skit where he walked into another room to find his brother wearing a dinosaur mask, who proceeded to proclaim "I'm a fucking dinosaur." Because adding fucking to every catchphrase equates to comedy gold. While this specific example may turn into a forced meme in itself, another more-well known example is "ZUUL, MOTHERFUCKER, ZUUL." or simply saying motherfucker in anything, like "TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERFUCKER!"
Originates from the Batman and Robin review. Uttering these words forces Doug to go ape shit and viewers to quickly mute the video. Even he admitted he is fucking sick of fans saying this to him IRL, but he still encourages them by 'tarding out because "it's what they expect". This shows just what kind of fans Doug has attrached to his site. And how much Doug would go through for a couple of bucks from internet ads.
Typical NC Fan: "Hey Doug, I've got a Bat credit card! Go apeshit for me and I'll give you $10,000! DO ET FAGGOT, or I'll download AdBlock!!!"
January: Shitty Gimmick Month

The New Year is very good at bringing out the very worst of the Nostalgia Critic, for every January Doug devotes an entire month to something specific and completely fucks the whole thing up less than halfway through. In 2009 he declared January to be "Nickelodeon Month". What you may not realize is that although the Nostalgia Critic's cutoff date is 2000, he stopped watching cartoons somewhere in the early-mid 90s, which means he's devoted an entire month to talking about a tiny fraction of Nickelodeon's 20+ year history. He did have the courtesy to do some research on a few of Nick's mid 90s shows like Hey Arnold and Kenan & Kel, and by research we mean he watched a single episode on youtube and just made assumptions about what the other episodes were like. For the self proclaimed voice of manchildren everywhere, Doug certainly doesn't pay much attention to what happens to the things he grows up with, does he?
One year later, he declared January to be Schwarzenegger month. If you're not aware, Doug has a strange obsession with trashing every movie The Governator has ever appeared in and saying he's the worst actor in history, so he basically devoted an entire month to something he already talks about all the fucking time. In his attempts to find the perfect example of how Arnold is an untalented hack, he instead ended up showing how bad Doug himself is at being witty when he doesn't have the opportunity to use his running gags and drawn out jokes by reviewing Junior, a movie so uneventful that Doug had to devote a large portion of the review to pretending to vomit for 5 minutes and later doing a completely unrelated dream sequence in which he sings about how boring the movie is. It is easily the worst Nostalgia Critic review Doug's ever made, being one of the few to actually receive a negative reaction from fans. He then compared the people who disliked the review to Hitler in a Downfall parody. He also reviewed Conan the Barbarian that month, probably the most recognizable movie he's reviewed in 2010. One wonders when he'll finally be pushed to the point where he reviews Terminator out of desperation and triggers the mother of all backlashes.
January of 2011 is dedicated to sequels starting with The Neverending Story III. Since he has long since stopped giving a fuck, his review is, of course, terrible. Keep it up, Doug!
Doug Walker's Voice
If there's one thing about Doug that makes him stand out from other internet reviewers, it's his voice. Doug's voice can best be described as being similar to what the Angry German Kid would sound like if he were passing a kidney stone while being castrated. The eardrum-shattering noise that comes out of Doug's mouth is so horrifyingly unpleasant that some believe he has the most unbearable voice on the internet. Doug, on the other hand, can't seem to get enough of hearing himself. About one and a half minutes into every Nostalgia Critic review he starts talking in ALL CAPS and stays that way for the remainder of the video. He's also been compared to Seth MacFarlane for his tendency to break out into song at inappropriate times.

All the shouting Doug does isn't just unpleasant to hear, it's hurting him too. Doug's screaming has caused him to throw out his voice three times in less than two years since he started reviewing shitty movies. He's had to do several reviews completely mute, with the help of things like captions, signs, and Microsoft Sam (because it's not like he can just wait to get better, right?) Like Spoony or Sean Fausz and their expanding waistlines, Doug hasn't taken his declining health as a possible reason to change his lifestyle, he always comes back shouting as if his throat had never been better. Massive lulz are expected on the day that Doug does permanent damage to his throat and finally realizes that screaming at the top of his lungs for more than 30 minutes straight every week may not have been the best idea.
Rivalry With the AVGN

Last Thursday, Doug posted a special Nostagia Critic video adressed to the Angry Video Game Nerd telling him that his fans were accusing Doug of ripping him off. Doug then proceeded to warn that if the Nerd didn't tell his fans to STFU, there was going to be trouble. Since none of the AVGN's fans really gave a shit about Doug's crappy videos, it can be assumed that Doug's fans spammed James Rolfe with so many links to the video and messages like "UR GOING DOWN!" that he gave in and responded to the video. But instead of telling the Critic to fuck off, he said that Doug was a pretty cool guy. Doug managed to keep the feud alive by spewing out paranoid bullshit and luckily for him, James decided to play along. A series of Critic vs Nerd videos were made, ultimately leading up to a final confrontation in the TGWTG 1-year anniversary video. The video itself was probably the best thing Doug has ever appeared in, mainly because when you have an actor as terrible as him, even someone like James Rolfe's acting/directing will look amazing in comparison. The battle ended when That Guy with the Glasses (the character), came out of nowhere and told them that their fighting is pointless and that they should stop. They then proceeded to review some boring Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and the feud ended. For James, at least. The rivalry seems to be alive and well in the Nostalgia Critic's videos, most likely to get his fans excited about the possibility of another Critic vs. Nerd video that will never be made. For those wondering, James hasn't done anything other than shitty 2-second cameos in Doug's videos since then. Even in his 2-year anniversary video, James only appeared to explain a board game that nobody has played in decades. As for the fans, well there wasn't really any conflict between them to begin with. Many of the Nerd's fans became fans of Doug and the two fanbases have largely become one.
TL;DR: IT WAS ALL AN ACT THAT WOULD LET DOUG LEECH OFF OF THE NERD'S POPULARITY
Doug Walker vs. Encylopedia Dramatica


In the Nostalgia Critic's review of A Troll In Central Park he makes a comment in an attempt to retaliate against the claims of unfunniness made against him by ED. His faggot fanboys agreed with him in the comment section calling all ED users "big mean doodie poo poo heads." A dramatican late to the party linked to this article and said "NO U." Apparently admins are butthurt too because they baleeted it, but that zany character is going to keep reposting it until B& or they stop deleting it. Will lulz ensue?
But it's not just Douglas whose upset with us at ED, Their viewers are also distraught at our descriptions of their graven idols.

"The Room" Review


Sometime on a Tuesday in July, the Lultastic Avenger strikes again. A while ago, maybe on a Sunday, the Nostalgia Critic's award-winning masterpiece review of The Room was taken down from the site due to threats of a lawsuit from John from TheRoomMovie.com due to copyright infringement. In retaliation, the Doug's latest masterpiece has him pretending to be Tommy Wiseau, some French faggot who directed The Room. He totally supports his innocence by trying to be lulzy ala blasting Wiseau and John, and ultimately proves to be as funny as Carlos Mencia. Upon hearing their mighty hero's ego wounded and eager to suck cock, the fanboys were called to battle, brandishing the Internets to battle the evildoers who wronged Their Lord by writing angry letters Apparently, the email link was taken down on the site because of the mass flood of butthurt from The Nostalgia Critic's fanboys. But alas, nobody gave a flying fuck. The butthurt fantards also tried to write about this event on Wikipedia, but their stories have been removed by the admins. CRY SUMMOAR. What should be noted is that TGWTG's founder, Mike Michaud, never said anything to Doug about how butthurt he is coming off as, nor did he tell his chosen manchild that he could potentially kill Channel Awesome.
