The Nostalgia Critic is a movie reviewer who reviews old media from the 80's/90's. He is kinda like [[Angry Nintendo Nerd|James Rolfe]], only more angry. In fact, a few months ago, he challenged the Nerd to review one horrible nostalgic movie. In return, he'd have to review a shitty game. He chose Bebe's Kids, and AVGN chose Ricky 1. Recently, he was shot in the head on accident by one of his friends, only to be resurrected by [[Optimus Prime]], the Jesus Christ of all cartoon characters. The guy who plays the Nostalgia Critic is named Douglas Walker, but he prefers to be called ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. Under this alias, he has made videos called Bum Reviews and Ask ThatGuy, the fomer of which he dresses up as a hobo named [[Chester A. Bum]] and the latter where he dresses up all fancy like.

+
*He considers [[Angry Nintendo Nerd|the Angry Video Game Nerd]] to be [[The Irate Gamer]] of his genius.
 +
*His worst movies he ever saw were [[Batman]] & Robin and Kazaam.
 +
*His favorite movie of all time is Brazil (No, not the country Brazil, Brazil the movie).
 +
*His website also features other people such as [[ThatDudeInTheSuede]] (who's a New Zealand college student who started off as a ripoff of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses {Which he meant the Nostalgia Critic}), former [[Youtube]]r SpoonyOne, the French dude named [[Benzaie]] (who reviews video games you might don't k[[no]]w that are still pretty damn sweet, as well as some other stuff like that), ThatAussieGuy (Who's obviously from Australia, which means he has no color whatsoevar), TheDudette (Who won the Nostalgia Chick award in which she became the female version of the Nostalgic Critic), ThatChickWithTheGoggles (Who competed for the Nostalgia Chick award), MarzGurl (Who, like ThatChickWithTheGoggles, competed to become the Nostalgic Chick), PBC Prod[[uctions]]' Little Miss Gamer, The Sage (Who does video gaming stuff), and most recently; [[Link]]ara (who reviews [[Batman|comic books]] and everything wrong about them), Press Start (which involves flash animations that we can see on Newgrounds & [[Youtube]]) and Phelous (who reviews obscure movies).
 +
*He didn't want to review [[Pokemon]]: The First Movie because he not only didn't want to review this movie because he simply didn't want to, he also couldn't follow the Pokemon series because he grew out of watching kids cartoons when Pokemon first came about.
 +
*He was honored to be the asshole that Drew Struzan knew of about normal, non-radio interviews of.
 +
*He tends to have wild mood swings.
 +
*Was once attacked by a teddy bear because he said that that specific bear was really [[Anti-Uctions|creppy]].
 +
*He once shaved his infamous beard off because he betted that John McCain would be the 44th President of the U.S.A., and he lost. (The strange thing about that is both ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and [[Chester A. Bum]] also shaved their beards off at the same time. (Though ThatGuyWithTheGlasses did it because he didn't post the winner of his contest that he had, while [[Chester A. Bum]] did it because he wanted to belong because he saw everyone else do it.))
 +
*Once brought over complete strangers to his house because there was a sexy bitch fight in a shitty movie called Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
 +
*In that same movie that I said earlier, he made a joke that bashed [[Angry Nintendo Nerd|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] even though the battle was already over.
 +
*He made a video parody of The Lion King on this website at www.rifftrax.com.
 +
*He [[Die]]d a [[shit]]load of motherfucking times.
 +
*Once, he got his head back to normal from two head changes and a head explosion ALL ON THE SAME VIDEO!!!!!!!!
 +
*He discovered that his childhood was ruined when he found out that women have nipples when he saw Fantasia.
 +
*His computer was infected by [[Anti-Uctions|The Devil Himself]] who made audio from The Ghostbusters appear mysteriously in his computer.
 +
*He's now going to search for the amazing land of Potland, where you can legally smoke weed whenever you want to and you can be able to [[cum|come]] up with very amazing ideas.
 +
*Is becoming a mainstream bitch due to the fact that he was in a PBS commercial.
 +
*Whenever someone reminds him of Doug, he must murder someone.
 +
*When this year's Christmas came and went, he got a [[Nintendo]] [[Wii]], two compatible controllers (one being a Nintendo Gamecube controller and the other being an extra Nintendo Wii remote with no extra nunchuk thingie), [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], and he didn't get the icing of that [[Ganon|great]] cake with Mario Kart [[Wii]]. As a consequence with this, he reviewed a shitty movie called "Jingle All The Way" and he fucking shot Santa Clause.
 +
*In his childhood, he was tortured because he reminded everyone of Doug Funny from Doug. If he remembers it at all, he usually kills one person because of it.

In brief

The Nostalgia Critic is a movie reviewer who reviews old media from the 80's/90's. He is kinda like James Rolfe, only more angry. In fact, a few months ago, he challenged the Nerd to review one horrible nostalgic movie. In return, he'd have to review a shitty game. He chose Bebe's Kids, and AVGN chose Ricky 1. Recently, he was shot in the head on accident by one of his friends, only to be resurrected by Optimus Prime, the Jesus Christ of all cartoon characters. The guy who plays the Nostalgia Critic is named Douglas Walker, but he prefers to be called ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. Under this alias, he has made videos called Bum Reviews and Ask ThatGuy, the fomer of which he dresses up as a hobo named Chester A. Bum and the latter where he dresses up all fancy like.

  • His website also features other people such as ThatDudeInTheSuede (who's a New Zealand college student who started off as a ripoff of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses {Which he meant the Nostalgia Critic}), former Youtuber SpoonyOne, the French dude named Benzaie (who reviews video games you might don't know that are still pretty damn sweet, as well as some other stuff like that), ThatAussieGuy (Who's obviously from Australia, which means he has no color whatsoevar), TheDudette (Who won the Nostalgia Chick award in which she became the female version of the Nostalgic Critic), ThatChickWithTheGoggles (Who competed for the Nostalgia Chick award), MarzGurl (Who, like ThatChickWithTheGoggles, competed to become the Nostalgic Chick), PBC Productions' Little Miss Gamer, The Sage (Who does video gaming stuff), and most recently; Linkara (who reviews comic books and everything wrong about them), Press Start (which involves flash animations that we can see on Newgrounds & Youtube) and Phelous (who reviews obscure movies).
  • He didn't want to review Pokemon: The First Movie because he not only didn't want to review this movie because he simply didn't want to, he also couldn't follow the Pokemon series because he grew out of watching kids cartoons when Pokemon first came about.
  • He was honored to be the asshole that Drew Struzan knew of about normal, non-radio interviews of.
  • He tends to have wild mood swings.
  • Was once attacked by a teddy bear because he said that that specific bear was really creppy.
  • He once shaved his infamous beard off because he betted that John McCain would be the 44th President of the U.S.A., and he lost. (The strange thing about that is both ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and Chester A. Bum also shaved their beards off at the same time. (Though ThatGuyWithTheGlasses did it because he didn't post the winner of his contest that he had, while Chester A. Bum did it because he wanted to belong because he saw everyone else do it.))
