“When I was 14 my teacher was asking the class who was their idol.I said Doug Walker.After that my teacher laughed and asked:who the heck is Walker?! I got so mad I threw a chair at her and got expelled.” - Stanley Kubrick
“If Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock and Doug Walker all fell off a cliff, and I could only save one of them, I would save Doug Walker. Because he produces the greatest movies of all time” - Christopher Nolan
"what is the name of the event that destroyed the twin towers and killed nearly three thousand people?" "uh... titanic?" "you're wrong, but 9/11 would've been sooo much different if a ship had crashed into the twin towers. I'll give you ten points."
"the title of this movie is called haunting of what?" "uhh...george floyd?" "you're wrong, but it would've been sooo different if sharon tate was alive today. i'll give you ten points."
This scenario partly happened to me once, when I played Total War: Rome II. The game was so broken that instead of a ship landing on port and my soldiers disembarking, the ship went up on land, through the wall and killed entire formations of enemies within the city.
Fun fact: According to Obscurus Lupa, all the episodes of Pop Quiz Hotshot were never supposed to be released, rather just canned entirely. However, the Channel awesome CEO forced them to be released so Indiegogo wouldn't investigate them for doing nothing with the money they raised. How lovely.
I am waiting for someone to copypaste the Ed story, but basically the method actor was with Doug and co. in a break and pissed him off enough to tell him to shut up.
Yup and no one wanted to do it but the company heads basically forced them. Partly explains why Doug seems in a particularly bad mood and completely phones in the performance.
@@mbsb1376 I encountered that guy regularly in a few online Channel Awesome fan pages back in the day he was annoying as hell when not in character too.
@Potato King It was this show and Demo Reel that Doug put his heart into. He wanted to move towards a more traditionally structured show, with an overarching plot and narrative and all that stuff. However, that was so poorly received and got so few views that it forced the company to bring the Nostalgia Critic back.
@@JeanMarceauxYou know what? If that were actually true, that'd be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny!!!!!! Give 'em 10 points!! Wouldn't it have so much funnier if it were true though?!!?
@@tylere.8436 Agreed. And he only got worse with time, adding in those boring, tedious, and tiring skits, oh God, the skits... I'm getting PTSD just thinking about the skits... thanks, Dog Waker.
@@tylere.8436 He solely got by because he was riding the wave of angry, profanity-laden reviews of stuff that was nostalgic by that point. And, yeah, eventually it got tiring because doing the same shit will eventually get boring, but Doug didn't know how to adapt or evolve.
"Who said the quote, 'How about a little fire, scarecrow'?" *names random comic book character* "Ha! If had said that instead of the actual character who said it, the circumstances surrounding it would indeed be very different, and therefore funny! You have achieved humor! Give em 9001 points!"
Doug: What movie is this quote from: Go ahead, make my day? Contestant: Moonlight Doug: No, but could you IMAGINE how different that movie would have been if the main character said THAT?!?!?!?! You know what, you get 69,420 points for that answer!
Haha honestly, JonTrons random Malkovichs quiz show with Arin as the hostess was 1000 times funnier than this, with a similar theme, and they were barely trying
@@KaladinVegapunk Mainly because Jon is: a. Actually funny, b. Actually knows how to do video production well, and c. Malkovich's Game Show was just a few one-off sketches, not something that received NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS from crowd funding and looks like five dollars at the most was spent on the final product.
@@redvelvetunderground Honestly no money is worth being accociated with the horrendous shit Doug has created. I would rather work in the sewers or just sit at home and starve to death. It's hard to believe something inside him wouldn't just stop himself before releasing such low quality content.
really? that actually makes sense in retrospect. $100,000 and this was the best they could do? They could have made a decent short film, say 10 or 15 minutes, if they actually tried.
hes so cringey, hes always been insanely contradictory and hes one of those reviewers that always uses the crutch of 'this is just my opinion' or thats subjective if someone calls him out on shitty comments or mistakes haha i mean loving the shit show of last jedi tells a lot but even all that is fine, people want to watch him, whatever sinks their sub..but this is just a scam haha
I think it's either the fact that his standards are just horribly low, or he's too insecure in his own comedic abilities to criticize someone else's bad joke (unless it personally offends him).
I feel like he is a child playing pretend and wants to have control of the game with his disinterested friends but instead of being able to ignore him his friends are literally being employed by him and are forced to submit to his autistic and extremely childish sense of humor.
The funny thing is, Phelan (red shirt guy) actually hated working on to boldly flee and is quite vocal about it. He actually did all the special effects- by himself, and was blamed for the movie’s poor performance despite being overworked and shat on in the script constantly
yeah i feel bad for phelan, he seems like a nice guy and he always got shit on in these stupid movies of dougs. i have heard though that his gf,lupa, starts drama out of thin air, same with lindsey ellis but i have no proof yet just a few peoples comments and if thats true then maybe hes not as nice as i thought since he associates with someone like that. i like phelans reviews too, now im worried though. after the cinemassacre scandal recently, im questioning every YTer i watch and whether or not they're good people or not.
I feel sorry for everyone from Channel Awesome except for Brad and the Walker brothers, most of them are entertaining or insightful people who got stuck under the thumb of those three assholes.
@Yanis Kaps uh oh your comment is really intriguing but I have a very strong unwillingness to rewatch NC what did he say in the bridge to terebithia video? ik he didn't like it but given the context of this comment thread I'm extremely scared of what he might have said.
i feel like doug thinks he has a swift silver tongue, but he sounds like an awkward kid trying to impress everyone at the lunch table in high school. i literally knew somebody who talked and behaved like him.
"True or false: Japan bombed Pearl Harbor." "Ummm... False?" "That's incorrect, but the world would've been VERY different if Japan never attacked Pearl Harbor, give him 32 points"
@@Mr_Fancypants you’re right the planes did do it! But imagine just how cool and wacky it would have been if the actual country did it ! Give him 10 points
I love how at 22:04 Doug doesn't even use the right quote from Christoph Waltz's character in Inglorious Basterds. It was "That's a bingo", not "I got a bingo". Imagine messing up a movie quote on a game show about MOVIE QUOTES.
Remember that episode of the office where Michael is doing improv and he's like I always use a gun because that increases the drama to the max or whatever. That's the same energy I get from Pop Quiz Hotshot with General Anesthetic.
"in improv i always use a gun because you can't top it" basically saying he always wins at improv as if its a competition. its amazing how many people IRL are pretty much michael scott but without the charm. zero self awareness
Fun fact though, the love triangle was created by Todd, Lupa and Lindsay for their own videos long before this movie happened, and it was about as well written by them as it was by Doug and Rob.
almost half the scenes shown in this review have some sort of reference to "whores" or put down women in some way. it is so gross, I wish doug let other people write for him
@Divertissement Infinite Let's also add that Lindsay's Seven of Nine characters was going to be named Six of Nine. Until they changed it to Seven of Eleven for obvious reasons.
See the problem with this is, it's not realistic, what you really need to put is a painfully unfunny answer like what's actually in the show instead of the kind of answer that a person with a sense of humor and at least some human contact in their life would say. Cuz dis is actually just funny.
I have never seen a single piece of Nostalgia Critic’s content. The entirety of my knowledge comes from RU-vid channels where other people pick it apart. It’s probably better that way.
Doug Walker is very much a man out of time. He's pretty much a Gen Xer (or Xennial, I guess) trying to produce content for a much younger audience without any real idea of how to do it besides "replicate what worked in 2008". Except, of course, the demographics have totally left him behind. You can tell from the kinds of jokes they make: jokes about 2 men dating, jokes about transvestites, etc. etc. These are jokes from a different era. That's not to say he's completely irrelevant these days, or completely without something to offer. He did hit upon a character that young people find enjoyable, but only in the very narrow niche of comedic movie critiques, and we're seeing now that it also probably only worked in a very niche time circa 2010. He's sort of up there with CinemaSins as "a guy who had 1 good idea 10 years ago", and is struggling to build on it.
According to Allison Pregler (Obscurus Lupa) in the Not So Awesome document: Pop Quiz Hotshot was ACTUALLY Mike Michaud's idea. NOBODY-not even Doug-wanted to work on or make this. 40-something episodes were promised, which obviously never came into fruition. There were tons of reshoots done for the Pilot episode due to the studio NOT being sound-dampened (hence the constant echoes in the audio). This was done with all the same contestants and (more or less) the same questions. Doug (and everyone else involved) were too embarrassed to upload the show, but because Indiegogo threatened to investigate CA to ensure the money produced something for the backers, Michaud forced them to upload the show in order to cover CA legally. Because they had covered their Indiegogo goals, there was no need to make any more episodes after the Pilot and the other 11. Now, I'm not defending Doug or his antics, but I think most of the criticism should be aimed towards Michaud. Doug is still a delusional visionary, but he never wanted to make this.
The worse part is, Michaud owns the exclusive rights to the NC IP. So unless Doug wants to buy back the IP, he's basically stuck with him. And I dont see Michaud being willing to give it up since he has no real reason to.
@@SmoothCriminal12 Yea lol xD. Really a big mistake of Doug to just sign off the IP of his own online brand to an unknown entrepreneur...especially a shady character like Michaud. Gives you a sense of Doug's naivety when it comes to the business side of things.
@@revenantevil1143 how much money did he actually get from that? Probably much less than what he could have got in a weekly basis with NC and a million subscribers.
Yes an no. Doug chose to work with him, he chose to be part of a lie to scam money from his fans, hes definately a wacko narcissist. But yes its not ALL his blame
It feels like he _knew_ it was godawful and was a complete failure before he even started, but felt obligated to still make it anyway because he crowdfunded it and put so much on the line to do it. He has this look of desperate fear in his face and sounds legit highly agitated most of the time.
In the “NotSoAwesome”-document former Channel Awesome employee Holly Brown said Doug, Rob and Mike had to be told to have a prize that could be won by the contestants of Popquiz Hotshot, so they opted to give 100 dollars to the winner. (On a 90.000 dollar budget) - Seeing as the contestants had to travel from all over the United States to get to their warehouse, I imagine even if they won the “prize-money”; I think many of them actually had lost a lot of money to appear in this dumpsterfire.
I think it’s so nobody hears him watching and talking about this. I would prefer my mother walk in on me beating my schmeat than seeing me watch Pop Quiz Hot Shot
Its probably because he has a high quality mic and talking to loud would be loud as fuck in post. That or he has roommates beating off and he needs to keep it down.
it's funny how shitty the female reviewers were treated while they were at channel awesome, but now lindsay ellis (nostalgia chick) is a hugo award nominee & published author who gets like ten times as many views per video than doug walker
also, puts a LOT of thought into her videos AND has a very positive reception/reputation. just goes to show that having a smaller catalogue of channel videos can be much better cough cough
It's pretty nuts to think she got her start not even as her own character, but one Doug made and assigned to her through a contest. And that she was intended to be a NCritic clone but with the gimmick of being a girl and reviewing girly things. It's just such a lazy, unoriginal, sexist and incredibly outdated premise, yet of course a conceited hack like Doug would think "me, but with tits" was a good idea. Naturally, Lindsay commandeered the NChick character pretty fast and would make videos in her own style on whatever the hell she felt like, but I'm still surprised she had ever accepted that role in the first place.
Even though I think most of Lindsey's videos tend to be a tad bit boring. There's no doubt that I have to respect her capability to rise above Doug Walker (tbh that's not very hard to do)
I went to a restaurant near a local convention for lunch a few years ago, and I randomly got seated at a table next to theirs. If I knew up to $3,500 was on the line, I would have gladly punished someone else by swapping tables with them.
@@RariettyC Damn; dude; sorry you had to deal with these 2. Doug and Rob ain't worth $3, let alone, $3,500. I'd just take the money and leave, it's not worth being near those 2 loud, annoying, screaming, obnoxious idiots. You deserve better.
There was at least one claimed in all of the stretch goals, so let's imagine it was the same superfan.....oof, if we lived in a sane universe then the only rational answer is they were being bought up by friends or family to give the impression that they were being claimed, as a tactic to stimulate demand by the illusion that these things might be in anyway desirable. However given what the world is actually like the former is probably the truth!
Idk he was decently funny back in like 2008-2012 I watched a lot of him when I was younger. And he definitely had competition of the 50,000 other white guys who review trash movies. He just had brand recognition. And regardless of the quality of his videos, as Ralph said, the Nostalgia critic is responsible for getting a lot of people into movies and film criticism, so I don't feel it's totally fair to dump all over his career as a whole
@@enflamedhuevos It's all subjective, though. I used to like Doug, but looking back at his early stuff now it's just a lot of screaming; even the fabled Batman and Robin review is just loud and obnoxious.
@@MrStath1986 Oh yeah Im not saying his videos are great but I am saying the impact that his videos probably had on many people shouldn't be ignored just because his videos are bad
The difference is at Disneyland it can be fun if you're not insecure. Being on Pop Quiz Hotshot is 100% a bad time unless you do what the guy in the helmet did. That would be me on that show LOL. And if Doug just fuckin' gave the cast of To Boldly Flee food and water and also cut out all the lines where they have to talk about penises in front of him it might have actually been a little bit better.
He never improved, his initial audience grew out of his schtick, and the scandals surrounding mismanagement, exploitation and sexual harassment also alienated a great deal of people.
I just read the entire 74 page document “Not so awesome” about the extreme dysfunctional inner workings of Channel Awesome. It’s genuinely astonishing stuff. I recommend everyone read it.
@Allison VP yeah it was him attempting to play Bart’s Nightmare. It’s so bad that it’s almost painful to watch. He also played Bebe’s Kids and Blues Brothers, both of them also bad, but nowhere near as bad as his playthrough of Bart’s Nightmare.
Seven Samurai and Das Boot are too. Difference is those are two of the best movies I've seen, and II'veve never seen To Boldly Flee. And I'm never going to.
Random theory: Doug secretly believes that Pop Quiz Hotshot and Demo Reel only failed because they were buried by angry fans of the Nostalgia Critic trying to force Doug to bring that show back, and he cancelled Nostalgia Critic hoping to prevent them from doing this, and this is why he made the new Nostalgia Critic show more similar to Demo Reel, because he thinks Demo Reel is secretly great and he's making the Nostalgia Critic better by doing so.
@@dragonforks93 Same. I was still watching for a short while after he came back, but the skits were so awful and unfunny that I would always skip them just to save myself from the secondhand embarassment. They remind me of the kind of thing me and my neighbour would film on our phones when we were like 13 years old, except this guy is probably 40 at this point.
@@Niobesnuppa Yeah, the old skits were just as unfunny but at least he had some restraint and they wouldn't go on for too long. When Doug wasn't shrieking like a pig on meth he could actually be quite informative and insightful.
This is Ralph’s cringiest video. Not because Ralph is bad, but the Nostalgia Critic game show is so utterly cringe I’m having trouble finishing it. Also that Robert Downy Jr ‘challenge’ is ridiculously offensive and was not even remotley close to being ‘accurate’ as by the time this joke of a game show released, he had starred in two Iron Man films, two Sherlock Holmes films, The Avengers (the biggest movie of all time at that point), Tropic Thunder, Scanner Darkly and Zodiac. Far from ‘the bottom of the barrel’.
@@pandamonium9255the NotSoAwesome doc talked about how when they were filming the anniversary movies, they would constantly stop everything to argue with each other about how a scene should be directed.
All thinks considered I really liked the idea of "if you don't know the answer but can come up with a topical joke you still get points" That's a decent idea, someone funny and/or talented should use that
It would also probably need professional comics to work. If you did it with random people like this you'd more likely get people scrambling to be funny and coming up with stale references and non sequiters.
this reminds me of the "not so awesome"-document that was released in 2018 (I believe) by former Channel Awesome members. One of them (I don't remember which one) would put on a silly voice from time to time and Doug would repeatedly ask what character this voice was based on. He replied "no one, it's just a silly voice I do", but apparently Doug Walker wasn't capable of understanding humor that isn't a reference to something or someone else in the pop culture universe.
"We hired two private investigators to stand on opposite sides of the main area. Three Private investigators to hide in the kitchen. Ten Private Investigators to look into that Iraqi Food Cart. And then twenty Private Investigators to survey the outside of the building. Finally with Thirty Private Investigators to hid in the threes to pick up an anything weird."
He's being so mean to Shader and Tom Beverage because they're daring to be funny and make jabs at him. Why is Doug so insistent that he be the center of attention 24/7?
This man has an insanely inflated ego, I think he genuinely believes he is the smartest and funniest person in the room. So it just baffles him and makes his skin crawl seeing someone else get a laugh from everyone else, especially at his expense.
The red collar shirt guy (Phelan Porteous, aka Phelous) was the ONLY one contracted to do the majority of the special effects for the entire video by himself. Not the "single white frame = gunshot" bullshit, but stuff like the CGI renders of the spaceships and greenscreen backgrounds, the 3D Modelling of space and the transitions, the laserbeam, teleporting and particle effects, etc. Yep. ONE guy. WTF were they thinking? 😕 On his own RU-vid channel, where he reviews old VHS reviews and unboxing retro toys, the effects he does are fine for little sketch moments. But to work on a THREE HOUR LONG internet video, 18 hour work days, with camera footage of varying quality, shitty lighting and angles, and poor direction by Doug and Rob, I'm surprised the guy didn't have a fucking aneurysm!!! 🤣
I think the thing that really adds to the fucked up-ness of making Phelous do *all* of the special effects for that video, is that in future crossovers between them (I'm speaking about the reviews they did of the Chuckie movies) one of the jokes was that that the special effects were better than To Boldly Flee. And just in case you didn't get it, Nostalgia Critic went the extra mile to say "Because you did them" to him. It's almost kind of shocking how hard Doug Walker threw him under the bus for doing a pretty admirable job for one dude.
Extra funny thing about that is Doug, certain Phelous was half-assing the effects, tried to get another producer (Welshy) to spy on him. Didn't even consider that Welshy would tell Phelous what was up since they were friends.
@@thelemonadestandman Phelous also had a very public falling out with Doug over the fact that he's openly stated that To Boldly Flee is bad and made jokes at its expense. Doug can only tolerate criticism of other people's work, never his own.
its the japanese, what do you expect. BTW sailor moon, who is in middle school, gets with an 18 year old in the show God the japanese are a strange people
I love that Doug cant make anything but Nostalgia Critic work and every other "Show" he made got canned with like single digit episodes before he put back on the ol suit and tie and milked that cash cow beyond full sellout mode
Wow, my jaw actually dropped at the Robert Downey Jr. bit. I like dark humor but that's not even a joke, that's just straight up mocking someones struggle. What a douchebag move.
In all fairness, Ralph made jokes at the expense of Ben Affleck’s alcoholism in his Justice League review so I guess we’re all susceptible to making tasteless jokes, from time to time.
That Angry Joe interaction is so cringe it actually hits the zero on the cringe-o-meter so hard it breaks it and pings back around to kinda cute and endearing. It's very humanizing.
It was fun watching "Yo" and Brad roast him as well. Walker pushed around the contestants when they were randos but was powerless when up against two people who already knew him personally and had built up an immunity to his crap.
when Shader responded to something doug said with your autobiography that was the fist and only time i laughed at anything related to doug other that his the wall video...both of these times im laughing at doug's expence
There are SEVENTEEN different comment threads on here talking about that, so I don't think you're doing a good service to their existence by calling them "no one".
Doug didn't quit Nostalgia Critic for that game show, he quit it to make Demo Reel. Hence the reason why the last episode of Demo Reel is called "The Review Must Go On", and is about him becoming the Nostalgia Critic again, with the NC series starting up again after the finale came out. It's also widely believed that the reason the game show is so damn awful in quality is because he used the vast majority of the Kickstarter money raised for it on his Demo Reel series instead, which was his actual passion project (and incidentally is of much higher quality). But whether that part is true or not, Pop Quiz Hotshot is definitely NOT the show Doug quit the Nostalgia Critic for
@Moolinyan What does being fictional have to do with a length of a movie? I'd think that it's the story that you want to tell that determines the length of a movie.
Now I'm imagining Shader taking off his helmet only to drop the famous catchphrase "I'm Charles Stiles" before revealing all of the cameras he's secretly placed everywhere to catch Doug being such a dumbass
plot twist: NC has a kidnapping kink. it explains the re-use of "good thing you didnt kidnap me hoho", it explains Miss Stockholm, and it makes sense coming from a guy this self-important. Getting kidnapped implies that in some way you're "valuable".
I was friends with this guy in school who was really weird. When he was talking about something he'd sometimes start doing voices and stuff and you would kind of just have to wait for him to stop. Thats what channel awesome reminds me of
@@isaiahsimmons5776 I agree, give him 10 points, because that would've been so much funnier than anything Douche Walker's EVER done; by himself, because he's an untalented, egocentric, and narcissistic douchebag who thinks the entire world revolves around him, and the drug addiction joke he made about Robert Downey Jr., completely unfunny, and a douchey thing to do, and on top of it not being funny, it's not relevant, or even remotely interesting, because RDJ has been drug free for years, and reinvigorated his passion for acting, as both the Australian actor guy from Tropic Thunder, and also, as Tony Stark/Iron Man, and made those characters his own, both in the same year! Which is amazing. Because we all know that Doog Wanker could NEVER be anything even remotely interesting or that funny,( even if he tried).
Every day I have to live with the knowledge that my sister and I are in Demo Reel because we interacted with Doug at a con, not knowing it was being filmed
The guy with the last name Beverage sounded PISSED when Doug made fun of his name. Him snapping "silent q" stung. I feel so bad for everyone involved...
Given how much toxic misogyny goes on at Channel Awesome, I'm amazed they ever had a female contestant. Tamara must be a masochist to still be working there.
The saddest thing about Popquiz Hot Shot is that this one video shitting on it has more views than all 11 episodes of the show combined.. Ralph has made more money off of this video than Doug and his crew did on the actual show.
“Who is the star of the show ‘Mystery Diners’?” “Nicholas Cage” “That’s not the right answer, but the show would’ve been so much different if he was. Give him 10 points!”
You got the events wrong. Doug retired the Nostalgia Critic in 2012 and went on to make Demo Reel, which failed so spectacularly that he revived the NC a year later. Pop Quiz Hotshot came way later, he didn't retire because he wanted to have a game show. He probably only did it to recoup the losses he suffered from Demo Reel since he bought a warehouse, costumes, cameras and hired actors for that.
That's what I was thinking when he said that. Demo Reel was like Doug's next big thing. If Ralph really wants to tear into something, THAT is the big one.
I think he had to make demo reel because his definition of fair use is categorically wrong. He tried to change tracks to demo reel, because the nostalgia critic was running out of content, and Doug's inexplicable inability to admit that sometimes he is talking through the critic ("he's just a character") gave us the cringe fest that was demo reel. That's why (imo) when the critic came back, it did so as such a shit sh... I mean skit show. I used to watch both the nostalgia critic and Doug's "out of character" reviews back in the day; they have the same opinions, he just yells more when he's wearing the goofy t-shirt and tie combo. I don't think Doug is very self aware, and his inability to see what people liked about his earlier content was his downfall. Well, that and he got scammed into signing over the rights to the critic to the piece of human garbage that was managing his website... That probably also has something to do with him trying to distance himself from "the character"
i became fans of lindasy ellis and todd in the shadows independent of each other in around 2018-2019, watching all this unfold has been interesting to say the least :')
Forced? Todd as far as I'm aware hasn't changed his music reviews since inception, and Lindsay literally entered a contest and won to be nostalgia chick. Hardly forced.
Doug Walker feels like that teacher you had in high school or middle school that everyone thought was really cool. But then you grow up and realize what an inappropriate idiot he was.
Doug Walker is like when you're in high school and think you know everything and start posting videos and blogposts online to that effect and you pretend that old channel/blog never existed because you cannot even look at it without dying of cringe.
I really enjoyed those parts of Pop Quiz hotshot where the guy in the helmet was spitting acid to Nostalgia Critic and the guy was getting legitimately angry.
Pop Quiz Hotshot opened my eyes. The Nostalgia Critic's schtick was "This movie/tv show/video game sucks" but he couldn't make something that was better than what he was criticising.
I feel like he put himself in this awkward place between “legit filmmaker” and “a bunch of guys having fun”. I think he wanted to make a video that was the latter, but messed up by setting up Channel Awesome like a business with paid contributors, crowdfunding for money for the movie (implying production value), and making it feature length.
navidesuka I think knowing film and being able to make film are actually quite different. Siskel and Ebert aren’t filmmakers, and probably couldn’t make a film anywhere near the level of some of the A-list films they gave the thumbs down to. But they understand audiences and what they want to see.
@@geneparmesan8748 Yeah, honestly, it's funny how there used to be so much respect for film critics, but now all of a sudden we're supposed to see criticism as an inherently bad thing.
@Tyler E According to Doug, The Critic is based mostly on Daffy Duck, with a little of himself and Animaniacs and other silent film and old vaudeville stars.
The weirdest thing about Doug is that his video production is perpetually stuck in 2007. You could watch any of his videos at random and be unable to tell what year or even decade it was made. It's just so cheap and amateurish but without any charm.
Yeah fucking this. I could watch a dunkey video and the quality is always pretty good. (except the really old ones with the terrible mic). But with Doug it's always soooo terrible. It's very clear doug is so obsessed with having yes-men around him that people with actual talent don't want to work for him.
@@jeltje50 Okay those arent't quite the same, a Dunkey video is just Dunkey speaking into a microphone over footage. The issue with Doug is his cameras are always adjusted poorly and the lighting is terrible so it perpetually looks like an early youtube channel.
I don't think this si true, if you see his old NC videos they used to be only him talking shit about a movie with some minor animation clips or effects, I dare to say it used to be funny and simple, now everything he does is overexaggerated shit filled with awful CGI, cringe performances and plots.
I know people who started doing film for fun to keep them entertained through quarantine and whose worst shit now looks a million times better than Doug's best shit. And what's with his yellow fucking teeth. I he scammed his fans out of $90 000 and couldn't afford a fucking trip to the dentist???
