Hey, uh...
What's up guys?
Um...
We're here with a, uh...
A video.
Boy.
We're talking about, um...
The... nostalgia...
The critic video.
Nostalgia critic?
decided it would be a fantastic idea
to do a parody of Pink Floyd's
Is it a parody or is it a review? I thought it was a review
I thought it was a review, I thought it's a review. Look, it's a view.
A couple months ago we did a video on this guy
And you know what, we were nice, we were nice to him
You know what, in retrospect, we were too nice
We were too nice. After seeing what we've seen today
No, that, no exacting, no fucking exaggeration
At the time of us recording this video right
now the review we're about to talk about came out yesterday and I texted Jim while he was at work
a little clip and I was like no joke no exaggeration I'm not being facetious I'm not trying to be a dick
this is the worst movie review I have ever seen on YouTube the worst the thing is like I said
we were nice to him in our nostalgic video you were he went and made it
personal man he he he saw what we said and he picked out the weak link being me and
he made it personal he targeted my thing all right where to even begin he fucked us he
fucked me not just you jim we all sat through this we sat through this 40 minute
abomination this this abortion of a video that i cannot believe it fucking exists i'm so
furious.
Reel it back.
Give some context here, Jim.
Set the scene.
Like James said,
Nostalgia Critic did a video
on
Pink Floyd's The Wall,
the theatrical release,
The Movie.
Everyone knows the wall.
We don't need no education,
comfortably numb,
all of that shit.
Everyone knows it's from that.
It's a famous rock opera album.
Everyone knows it.
It's excellent.
And I...
I...
And how did Nostalgia Critic review the movie?
He made a fucking parody album.
He went the full fucking, your favorite Martian route.
Full did all the instrumental and did all of the live.
Well, he got someone to do the instrumental and he sang all the lyrics himself.
He wrote lyrics.
He wrote specific lyrics.
It's a parody album.
Here's the thing, right, the nostalgia critic is, it's in his name, he's supposed to be a critic, right?
What does a critic do, they critique?
Where is the critique in this goddamn video?
That sucks up, your instant confusion, I'm that nameless, though.
It's a review!
Yeah, that's the, that's the goddamn thing.
He goes throughout the whole thing.
He does this so much as well, but he goes throughout the whole...
We complained about it in our other video.
Yeah, yeah, but...
He goes throughout the whole thing.
Right, and he just reenacts the whole fucking movie.
And then at the end he goes, yeah, it was pretty good though.
Okay! I liked it fine.
Yeah, me too.
A little full of itself, but good music and imagination.
Fair enough.
So now what?
That's his summary.
He, no joke.
He just recreates the movie.
He goes scene by scene just about
with his
worse production,
worse animation,
worse jokes, worse acting, worse singing.
Everything's worse.
And you're just sat there like,
dude, I just want to know what you think about the movie.
Like, why are you doing this to me?
Why are you putting us through this torture right now?
You know, when we
watch the Mad Max one, which is already a close thing to my heart. Mad Max, we all know this.
There was something almost quaint about that one though. Yeah.
Me or everyone else. Yes, I am the one who runs from both the fanboys and the haters.
Because the point at the end was like, yeah, it is really good. Yeah, you know? So I was like,
okay, yeah, fine. But here that the frustrating thing is that his commentary
is so whack in the songs
like the actual parody lyrics
when you can actually understand them
because half the time they're just
it's just inaudible muffle
exactly yeah you can't tell what you're saying
because there's no subtitles and it just sounds like
nonsense and you hear the old like sort of smarmy
lyric here and yeah
oh this is lame
and bad
so long
Oscar made song
but yeah what is the point
like that is
That is the ultimate question I have.
He spent months making this video.
It's 40 minutes long.
40 minutes.
It's not a quick watch.
You have to invest a bit of time.
Yeah, it was horrible.
It was.
It's 40 minutes long, but the ultimate point was,
the ultimate summary was five seconds.
Yeah, it was okay.
It was creative, whatever.
Like, that was his summary.
And he always fucking does this.
I don't know if we said this in our original video.
we did he always fucking does that he spends 30 minutes talking about a movie
ooh the fucking iron man isn't very consistent in this scene
and then at the end he's like yeah iron man too really creative really fun
but if only it had more impressive cg i like this like his review of course
yeah no i don't even i don't even know where to start with his review i guess we should go
this let's talk about the original movie right jim and i we have huge fans of the war jim even
more so than me we've even seen roger waters live performing the music we both are big fans of the
film we've listened to the album countless times we love it and what was interesting was
jim and i had a point of reference we know the material very clearly and what is great about
james being here is he's not familiar with the album i i know obviously the war
I know the famous songs
I know super songs but I've never seen the movie
I've never seen anything
So for someone like you
Going on this
This review
Expecting some kind of summary and conclusion
And thoughts
What was this
40 minutes of excruciating bullshit
Like for you?
That's a loaded question
My area
Just what was your
When it ended
What were your thoughts?
I didn't really have any
Because there's you can't
understand a fucking thing it actually must have made no sense it made no sense at all like I
got some of the little scenery because I've seen like like art from it yeah of course
very famous imagery slight imagery stuff but that's it I've no idea anything besides
that yeah and I don't know where it goes because you guys said that they've like
done mixed up the some of the song places yeah so I had no fucking clue what was
going on and to the later stages it just went off the fucking whales and
was just a mess
we will talk about that later
because holy fuck
but yeah
this video
a lot of his videos
require you to watch the movie
and therefore what is the point
of his video
yeah you know
like when I go on a YMS video
it's
clear concise you understand what he's
after it's like on a
on one of his quicky ones. It's a five-minute
video and it tells me
if it would work for me.
What is the point of the nostalgia
critics video?
Well, that is what is so confusing.
I don't understand the point. Is it
supposed to be just a summary of the
movie? But is it supposed to
be in reverence of the material and
kind of a homage to it?
In which case, that makes no sense
because he's constantly mocking it in the lyrics.
And then halfway through the video, there's
this weird, like, ad placement where
saying, oh yeah, I'm so happy with this album we've made and we're like, it's in,
it is in reverence to the original album.
And it's like, these lyrics, they're just constantly making fun of the original, saying
that it's shallow, pretentious, dumb, dumb, Oscar bait.
This is just such a love letter to Pink Floyd's music and the wall.
And you can download the album in the link below.
There's even songs and music that isn't in the review.
It's only for the album.
And it's really fantastic.
World War II with monsters too silly
And it's like
If this is supposed to be satire
Or like really on the nose and exaggerated
It doesn't come across like that
It sounds like you genuinely just don't like it
Even we use the words
It's a love letter
That's quite a strong words
To call something
A love letter
It's not a love letter
Like Hot Fuzz is a love letter
To action schlock
Yes
That's the whole point
Yeah
You know there's countless films
Countless things out there
reference some kind of original material
in a loving kind of referential way
in a way in as well as kind of recreating it
this isn't doing that it's smarmy and and ironically
it's incredibly pretentious I hate throwing that word around but
but it is he's strutting around like he is
yeah I'm the nostalgia critic what of it
look I mean look at me
I'm the fucking nostalgia critic
Just look at me
I'm fucking dressed as a Nazi
I don't see the irony in any of this
It is so
Groundbreakingly
On the nose
It's like he actually doesn't understand
What the fuck he's doing
The lack of subtlety
The lack of self-awareness
Loads my mind
In this video
He constantly insults the lack of
subtlety.
Like, dude, what have you been doing for the last
like fucking 80 years or however
fucking old he is? Like, he's
been doing this shit since day one.
The least subtle jokes possible.
And then he's got the goal
to say...
There is this weird like self-importance thing.
He assigns himself. Like, there's a certain
couple of shots in the video where
he's in a hallway and there are all
posters on the walls of his own videos that all have these like custom made
posters you know literally and in one of the shots he even has his like million
subscribers plaque in the background like yeah I'm the fucking nostalgia critic
what other I don't know if you noticed but on that same scene there was loads of
pictures just before that hallway and all of the pictures were aligned in Canview
which of him of him being seen like the center focus as if he's moved them all
there there is like a hubris and arrogance
to what he's doing.
Yeah, it's very bizarre.
It's like sociopathic.
You know?
But Jim, Jim, let's reel it back even further.
To the core issue with the video.
He doesn't understand the source material.
He doesn't get it.
No.
Like, I hate that.
I hate, it sounds so arrogant from us to say.
It sounds like us being dickheads now.
But it's like, no, the, just go on the,
Wikipedia and read one paragraph
and it gives you all the context you need
The few times
He does critique the movie saying things like
Why the kids are going on the train
It's very obviously like a World War II thing
That doesn't conflate
They constantly make fun of the World War II references
When the thing I
The thing I personally love about this movie
Is that it is incredibly personal
To the source material
being the stuff that Roger Waters wrote essentially about himself.
But the brilliant thing about the original source material is
it does have that personal angle when you do the research,
when you think about it, when you look behind the scenes
and try to deconstruct what it's about.
That's what I mean, yeah.
But at the same time, there are countless metaphors
that apply to so many different things.
The whole idea of the wall is a very malleable metaphor.
For so many things.
I mean, for a lot of men, specifically, it is an issue.
Like, having to build this hard exterior and then closing yourself within that.
Yeah.
And not showing an inch of yourself.
Like, that shit is potent.
But he, he doesn't say a single good word apart from his passing.
Yeah, it's creative and pretty kind of cool.
He's got some nice visuals.
Yeah.
And it's like, we have heard nothing from your.
apart from making fun of it.
Like, what is your actual opinion of this movie?
That's his thing.
He, like, he just does it all the time.
It's like he's too scared to say his actual thoughts on the movie.
It's kind of like calling his bait, really.
Yeah.
He's just fissing, and it's just, oh, no, no, I take, you know, it was all bait.
I actually know, yeah, yeah.
That's all it is.
It's a cop-out because he uses these characters to kind of critique the movie in a really half-ass way,
But because they're not him, it doesn't properly count as his commentary.
His character's doing it.
And he's always like an impartial sort of figure in his reviews.
So it's like, well, it's not really me saying it.
So even though he writes and directs and does everything in the video.
So it's just like, what are you even going for, dude?
Wait, time out.
Is this really a World War II reference?
No, it's just a bunch of kids being herded onto a train to a horrible tortures building.
Oh.
Yeah, we're really comparing.
bring this to high school?
No, no, it's just mental weird and creepy.
They're not applying that.
I don't know, I don't think there's a way to not connect that.
Oh come on, they're just saying school sucks.
They're not making any connections to that.
The wall, like the reason it works is because it is this
intimate deconstruction of the way Roger Waters, like from my understanding,
it came from this disconnect he had from him and his audience.
Yeah.
And that's what the wall originally represented.
presented and he took that vague concept and he turned it into a personal story like an intensely
personal story about his father about his relationship with his mom yeah his mom drugs so many
different layers to it and his audience obviously and in a sense he did remove it from himself
and created a story like an opera this huge grand thing yeah for you to enjoy and and take of it
what you will like there's so much to to pick apart and he only analyzed the most surface
level obvious fucking commentary of it like in in the song um you know uh another brick in the wall
part two is the one he parodies um of it you know we don't need no education he turns the
song into this satire
satire saying
about how
criticising education
is like, hey, don't do that.
You're just being a baby, dude.
Yeah. Of all the songs,
that one just stuck out as in it
literally made the least sense.
It became like a critique of the US.
The US educational system.
Yeah, which doesn't even make sense.
Because Roger Waters is English.
But that also goes against the point he's trying to make.
He's saying, hey, don't complain about the education system while also complaining about the education system in America.
Yeah.
But also, Roger Waters, his thing was from the perspective of someone that grew up, like, in the 50s to 60s.
Where education was...
Yeah, it was horrible.
And he literally shows, like, the exact thing that he went through being made fun of for writing poetry.
and the point of the song is that education at least in those days and it still extends to now
it wants to turn you into this like group thinker it wants to make you like the perfect thing in the
wall yeah another brick in the wall like just another the same as everyone else and good for
your job and like not to think independently but i noted down some of the the like lines
in the songs when I did actually catch them.
And I was just like, what?
What?
Like, it just makes no sense.
Like, for example,
he called the We Don't Need No Education line pandering.
Or it doesn't mean much at all,
like, as a vague critique.
But I say, no, it does.
It means.
What about the song, um,
goodbye blue sky or whatever?
and that he calls it like Oscar bait yeah yeah I remember sense because the album was written first and the film was made afterwards yeah like and it was converted to a visual medium so it it's just so poorly thought out and let alone like even taking all of that out of it the video is just embarrassingly produced this was
probably one of my biggest issues with this is the fact that his use of green screen
is directly comparable to the joke Halloween video we did a few years ago.
Yeah, it is.
The green screen usage then, which we did purposefully bad, is as good as his actual green screen usage in this 40 minutes.
I remember in the part where it goes into the school bit, another brick and the wallpice.
to it shows like a harry potter school and all these bats flying and that's exact it it made me
think of us the spiders when i was fucking like 18 and you were 18 and whatever we made this
dumb ass video this Halloween video it was purposely shit because we were in the smallest of the
shit it's like we just got a green screen and we're like let's just shit out this video yeah
just for a laugh and when you see these bats and they have that same white outline that are
fucking spiders sticks it's just like no it comes across like when a 13 year old is really
trying to be cool yeah like that's all makes it so bizarre like there there is no tongue-and-cheek
nature to it it's almost like he thinks it is better than it is which makes it even more
embarrassing yeah there's no it's the lack of self-awareness and then we can't be around
the bush any longer that towards the end well throughout the
the video there is teased this kind of
CG creature
that's never explained
and then at the end
it just completely devolves
into mind-numbing
insanity where... If you
thought the first like half hours
just like what is this, the fucking last
like 11 minutes is just like
it
no the point of his
video is to kind of showcase how
weird the wall is
that is in the movies.
his video goes to another level
no but the weirdness
is founded on a certain logic in the original movie
yeah exactly but
are we going to talk about the last song
or the penultimate song yeah that's what I'm getting to
yeah so the trial right
yeah in the movie it calls back to the different characters
from the different songs
that essentially made
the main character
build another brick in the wall
being the mother, the teacher, his wife, etc., etc.
And then in this, it's just like these reference characters to another YouTube channel
that we've never seen before.
Which you would not know unless you've watched the research after.
Because when I first went on this video, I was skipping through it.
I skipped towards the end and I saw the absolute just mental shit that was unfolding before my eyes.
And I was just like, what the, is it, like, what is, first off, what is with these character designs?
How does this relate to the subject matter at all?
Like, it's not even a parody anymore.
It's just so removed.
And the way these characters look and feel is like devian R.O.C.
Just randomly just put in the video.
They look exactly like devian ROCs.
They're horrible, though.
They are fucking horrible.
I hate them.
I hate whatever the first.
fuck that is but what's what is the the place and purpose like yeah i mean like if they'd have
represented part like equivalent parts in nostalgia critics video to the movie and made
sense but it they don't but they briefly say because they tease that the like little
fairy creature a couple times throughout and then he go the nostalgia critics like oh so that
that's what that little creature was.
And you're like, what, that doesn't
fucking explain anything.
No, he doesn't tease that throughout.
He literally teases that, like, two minutes before the fucking weird shit starts.
That's, like...
And then all these random characters show up,
but as if they're supposed to be, like,
the original movie,
where they're singing the story.
Mm-hmm.
And, but instead of singing the story, like in the original,
they're singing positive.
about the movie?
Sometimes.
They're like, it's so creative and awesome.
It's giving me the urge to decapitate.
Urge to Decapitate.
It is the kind of stuff that like...
You know, I'm not even gonna insult myself by saying I'd draw this kind of thing when I was like 14, but...
No, you wouldn't.
No.
Because it's too far for even me.
Like...
Me at 14, right, is embarrassing.
Nostalgia critic at his age is more embarrassing.
I just can't deal with it, man.
And it actually just makes no sense.
It makes no sense.
There's no setup for any of it.
There's no explanation for any of it.
You have to just figure it out on your own.
Which some might say,
well, that's the point of the original, isn't it?
No.
No, it's different.
Mm-hmm.
The original is a cohesive story.
It ain't like normal.
That ain't presented in a typical kind of way.
But there is a method to the madness.
There ain't no method to the madness in the nostalgia kits of review.
Just having this random co-lab.
It doesn't make no sense.
These random like OC characters.
And it's horrible.
I can't like explain that enough.
It's fucking horrible.
horrible. These characters, these 3D CGI fucking bullshits that I had to witness today, I fucking hate them.
It's disgusting. They are horrible looking and it just fucks everything up and they somehow, he mixes his actual physical fucking body into these 3D fucking worlds.
That's what makes it so funny is he's taking it so seriously.
Yeah. As well as obviously the music he...
He covers most songs from the album, and they sound awful.
Of course.
Like, the fact he's covered the whole album and he's selling it and put it on Spotify and everything.
It's like, who do you think you are?
Yeah.
Like, it ain't even funny, dude.
It ain't even funny.
These lyrics aren't clever.
When you can understand what the lyrics are, they're just annoying.
Yeah, because half the time they're either just wrong or they're,
are really annoying
and arrogant
yeah
and we haven't even
talked about Slipknot
somehow
I don't understand
how he got
the literal lead man
of Slipknot
to fucking star
and his son
and his son
in the
like Slipknot are quite big
they are quite famous
they're huge
yeah
and he somehow got
the lead man
to
fucking star in his video
which honestly
he did the hardest part he got this
like celebrity
yeah a professional musician who can play the
guitar he couldn't sing he's the fucking lead
vocalist yeah
which is just
which is a really clever parallel to the original
movie where the main character
is like a washed up rock star
you know
yeah
but he doesn't use that at all
In fact, he keeps, he just uses him for like these really bland shots where he doesn't speak.
He doesn't do anything until the very end, doesn't sing at all.
That was like part of the joke in the movie.
It's a lame joke.
Yeah.
It's like, it's predictable.
That's, I was just like, that's going to happen.
It did.
Yeah.
It's the most predictable way to handle that joke.
The payoff, the payoff is a random minion.
SpongeBob.
SpongeBob joke, where you think, oh, he's going to sing a Slipknot song, because he's from Slipknot, right?
No, he sings the SpongeBob theme because, funny?
But by then, you're just like, dude, the thing is, on top of this, the Slipknot guy and his son are the worst fucking actors.
they're actually like
again
they're no better than any of the other people
yeah
um the Halloween video
and we were purposely
fucking terrible
yeah
again we were fucking
just making a joke
that's what makes it so
frustrating to me
it's like it doesn't even seem like
they're having
fun it seems like they're taking it
so seriously too seriously
way too seriously for
do they not know how bad
their production is
for how many people are involved
the lighting the
the camera the sound
oh god the lighting
there's one scene
special effects
there's just one scene
specifically the lighting yeah
it actually hurts your fucking eyes
how bad the lighting is and how bad
just the whole production of
it is you will notice
how fucking bad it is because you will just feel
how wholly your eyes
It makes you realize why they use so much green screen, because when they don't, like, when they're just filming in a corridor.
But it doesn't work because every week he's uploading these nostalgia critic videos criticizing films for these exact things.
Yeah.
And he's just doing them obliviously.
And this isn't like his first time he's tried to do this.
He's made multiple movies.
Oh, yeah.
But you're a fucking shit.
There's some of the worst people.
pieces of media ever created so in a sense it's not even surprising that this is where it goes
it's like just do you not listen to anyone like for years people have been saying we just want to
see review we just want to know what you think we don't care about these like recreations and these
skits and he's he's not only doubled down he's not tripled down he's not quadrupled down
he's fucking quintillionth down on this idea of recreating these fucking movies no one cares no one wants to see it
It's fucking embarrassing.
The thing is not only does nobody care,
but it just pisses off the people that do.
So you know what?
That criticism reminds me of another YouTuber
who we've reviewed?
Angry Joe.
But at least his stuff has charm.
He gets it more than a nostalgia critic.
He's a video game channel.
When he talks about movies,
he sits down and he just talks about it.
Yeah.
Say what you want about what he's actually saying,
but at least you can comprehend what the fuck he's saying.
You understand.
his opinion.
Yeah, you get where he's coming from.
I can't take it no more, man.
We can't...
We've joked about the nostalgic critic
for so long.
And we even made that video, we gave him a chance.
We gave him...
We gave him a fucking double, triple
fucking quad fucking fimp, fimp, fimp, fimp,
this just got to stop.
It's too much.
This shit belongs.
And in the comments, everyone's like,
This is fucking revolutionary.
I can't believe the creativity
I'm witnessing before my eyes.
Are you...
Who are these people?
This shit belongs in 2006.
That's the thing.
That's what we were saying earlier.
Like, yes, all well and good.
When the internet first came around,
when these video platforms was first rising.
Yes, everyone was cringy and embarrassing.
And finding, like, their thing.
But also, it was mostly early 20-year-olds, teenagers, kids.
Yeah.
Everyone that age is embarrassing.
I'm going to sound like a lame word,
but you guys.
no Corridor Digital.
Yeah. Yeah.
You look at their stuff
now and it's like, holy fuck, these guys
have, they've progressed.
They've gone the distance. They've Herculesed it.
They're incredible. Yeah.
Yeah, their shit is, they're professional
as fuck, dude. They're so professional.
And nostalgia critic, he's the same
as he was. He's been doing it longer than them.
Yeah. Fucking ages on. He's been doing his shit
longer. And his stuff.
Before YouTube, technically, he did it on his website
for years. And his content
it's the fucking same
it hasn't changed
it's gotten worse
his older videos are better
than at least this
current video
because they used to be so simple
it would just go through the movie
make jokes here and there
summarise it at the end
you understood how he thought about the movie
and then you carried on with your day
you didn't sit through this 40 minute
fucking bullshit
just diary of dog shit just slowly squirt
diarrhea bullshit
yeah diarrhea bullshit
just you know the way it perfectly curls
like it just fucking never ends
it's so fucking bloated
it's so
it's so fucking long
of that
that's all it is
like honestly
if you wanted to do this
skit shit so badly
so fucking bad
he's so obsessed with it
just
parody one song
parody the most famous
song
just take all that
writing talent you got
just parody one song
put it all in there
put the commentary in there
that's cute
put it at the end of the video
on iTunes I don't give a fuck
don't waste people's time
selling it as some kind of critique
some kind of brilliant fucking mastermind
breakdown of this film as if you're
this avant-garde fucking filmmaker
because behind the scenes he treats the shit
like he's fucking
Steven Spielberg
now this is the scene
where the fucking lion thing's
going to be like
in the background
fucking singing about how terrible
this shit is
and it's got all these actors like
you know we haven't even mentioned
the weird like
Twitter angle he takes
yeah
like is he trying to make his own thing
he's like he's using
the metaphors from the original
and trying his best to modernise
so instead of the hammers walking
he's got the fucking mobile phones
walking the iPhones but like what
is this
commentary on
like modern society
for phone usage? Or
is it a critique
of a nostalgic
piece of media?
You know? Like
what the fuck do you want it to be?
Because
whenever he's actually talking
as a human, it's about the media.
Yeah.
That he's critiquing.
But then in the songs
he's like,
hashtag,
Hashtag.
Hashtag.
Hashtag.
Hashtag.
But it's like, fuck off.
It's the first thing when you sit down to create a video is like,
what is the point of this video?
What is my angle?
What is the angle of the video?
Each song has like, it's one's about the US educational system.
It's about Twitter.
There's no consistency in any of it.
It's literally just taking loads of different angles on.
and then mixing it into the songs
it makes no sense
yeah like some of it is about
the movie itself
some of it is about
like
his like political opinions
yeah
thoughts on social media
yeah
it's honestly so confused
I saw someone describe this video
as the disaster movie
of YouTube movie reviews
is that abysmal
like I could I could
I would sit back and laugh at that Mad Max review because it's so, so silly.
Yeah.
Yeah, like, it's almost like he's in on the joke.
Yeah.
But with this one, it's like, it's like, you just haven't listened to anything, have you?
You're just in your own little world, creating this.
Like, I sound so over the top.
No wonder he makes fun of Twitter, because, like, everyone...
Yeah, because in the scene where he's dressed up like an SS officer.
I wouldn't say that
You'd have a leather jacket
That's kind of it
Where he's dressed up like
Him and his mates are dressed up like Nazis
Shit, really, really bad
And he's saying
It comes across
I don't know if I'm reading into this too much
But it came across as if it was him
Directly addressing some of the hatred
He gets
Do you reckon?
From the
Why else would he be so obsessed
With this like Twitter social media angle?
That would make
that only just like went through my brain but what else would someone do when they're
they're honestly so far up their own bum bum that and they think they're like
so self-important and self-aggrandizing that they create something as bad it's something
is horrendous like I don't I really don't like targeting people and being mean in this way
but fuck me dude this is the worst fucking video I've ever seen in my fucking I
hate this video i fucking hate this video because i like the movie a lot there's a
there's so much to say about the movie yeah there is i recommended this film on
sardonicast once and we had a meaty discussion thanks to me yeah thanks to me yeah thanks to me
yeah no but like there are issues with the movie i will not deny
yeah but if you're gonna fucking if this is how you're gonna address them then fuck you
piece of fucking...
And that's the thing, like, the video's
40 minutes long. Yeah, it is.
And you could condense the thoughts
and the commentary of the video to literally
about a minute. Yeah.
No, because he dedicates
fucking 12 seconds, the actual
commentary. He does.
And you don't actually know
what he means genuinely,
or if it's supposed to be a joke.
The intention is always so
muddled and so confusing.
Am I, am I justified in my rage right now?
100%
Yay!
Am I justified in my fucking rage right now?
Yeah, no, I'd be angrier than you, but I just did a big poo, so I'm feeling relieved of my...
Maybe that's what I gotta do.
I gotta do a big fucking shit.
Shit, there's fucking awful video on my system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What, this video, like, I can't stand shitty, quingy videos.
We all know I can't do that.
For 40 minutes, I sat there and was just...
fucking like amazed at how fucking
It's like it's a train wreck that develops into the apocalypse. It just doesn't fucking stop
It just snowballs. It's snowballs. I remember I kept more fucking horrendous than that fucking Minecraft video
We fucking made when I was like 17
I was more embarrassed. I'd be more embarrassed if I made this
and that's saying so much
You mean the machinima that was never released
The thing is I
kept looking at James just like a quick look and every time I looked at him he was like
regressing into the sofa more and more just trying to cover his face just like I I don't
I kept picturing like because they worked on this for months I I pictured the whole crew
coming together at the end and like sitting down on their fucking lovely sofas and their
lovely nostalgia critic setup like watching their finished product just being like
This is fucking brilliant.
Like we do with our videos.
Yeah.
And they're just sitting there like, yes.
They're like eating popcorn.
They're like, this is, oh, Doug, you've done it again.
You've done it again, mate.
You're just, you're a visionary.
Surely, how many people were involved?
Surely not all of them are so far up,
don't fucking ass that they can't see how shit this is.
But like, if I was in this video right, and I sat down and that was the end product,
I'd be like, edit me out.
I'm sorry, but.
I can't be in this.
Like, I could never show my face again anywhere.
Like, I could never leave my house again.
But it's like...
You can see that the whole controversy with Doug, Duke, whatever his name is.
Duke.
Just go on, Duke.
Duke.
And you know that these people obviously have to think that it's good to please him.
Because he's so...
Just up his poo-poo.
he's fucking writhing around in his poopoo he's making fucking angels out of his fucking shit
it just never ends with this fucking guy dude what about the part where like he literally takes
that like stock video plugin on mobile where like there's a wall and he like punches it
and it explodes and it's like i remember watching like top five fucking games and
a year
for fucking
2012
with those
yeah
because the Mad Max
video uses it as well
yeah yeah and he like
because he's like
punching it through it
and he's doing his silly face
as if he's like
this fucking comedian
right now
and then he like
flings it off the screen
with a funny sound effect
we'll
I said what's the fuck
what is your goal
right now
you fucking came straight
from 2012
and the most
one of the funniest
things to me
is like
In this cluster fuck of a video, this absolute nonsense, this fever dream, bath salts fuel, just bullshit that you're witnessing.
There's an ad break in the middle.
Oh, my God, this, the most concise fucking ad you could imagine.
He's just like, this advert is for this wonderful product.
Yes, for honey.
You can get discounts on vouchers here and there.
Well, you get fucking biscuits.
So you can explain your ad like perfectly.
really concisely in like a couple minutes.
But he didn't.
He fucking didn't.
The ad was like two minutes long where he's sitting there going
That's true.
For fucking two minutes.
In contrast to the review, it is really concise.
And it's like, oh, because he's at a time limit
and there's money involved.
How can you overreact a fucking advert about coupons on a,
on Chrome or whatever?
Yeah, about like fucking hobnobbs and shit.
shit.
That was
might have been the
like
the second
worst thing
about that
entire video
was just
watching him
over the act
like a child
even in the advert
he's just like
yeah
he's just
flailing around
like he's just
the first
worst thing
is the video
the second
worst thing
is the ad
but like
it goes on
for so long
the ad
and he's like
just flailing
his body around
and wiggling
and it's like
what does this
have to do
with the
like
voucher. Do you think your viewers
are so ADHD
that they need to see someone screaming
and like writhing around like they just can't
control their own body like they're being possessed?
But it's not that he also like get us out of his chair
one's out of the fucking room
and then comes back and does it all again
I don't expect this
from like a 40 year old that's like
12 year old me
12 year old you didn't do that
yeah I was better than
do at 12 years old
Hi, uh, like 14, you did the, the black ops unboxing.
It breaks up the...
When you sit there and watch this, at first, you're like...
The first, like, clip or song is just like, okay, this is a bit cringe.
Don't like using that word, but then it's just like, prepare yourself, because it gets worse.
It gets cringier.
It gets...
That's the thing. We said this in our video.
Like, that you cannot.
not avoid the word
the word cringe when it comes to
nostalgia critic because he's the nostalgia
cringic
the cringic
but there's this part
there's this part in the video where he says
and it really bug me
that the movie ends on an
open vagueness
yeah when it's like
well not really
it just doesn't use
like expository dialogue
to explain the ending
like it's very
fucking obvious like you've been saying it the whole review that it's like really on the nose metaphors
and then suddenly it's like really vague and you don't properly understand what it means yeah it's a
fucking they literally break the fucking wall down yeah it's as simple as that like throughout
the movie he builds up the wall which like at the end of it he has to break it down
it's the conflict of the movie yeah that's what makes it interesting to me it's like a
Yeah, the whole conflict is within one person's head.
Yeah.
It's someone battling themselves and it's so relatable
because everyone has something like that,
a personal struggle they can relate with
and seeing someone in a movie overcome that kind of struggle
is really empathetic.
Uber, it's animated, so...
Oh, it's quite weird, isn't it?
Yeah, fucking weird, huh?
Man, what does it mean?
Wow, it's not three-dimensional.
What the fuck?
It's not a fucking deviant art O-C fucking screaming in my face.
Bring the runtime down.
Yeah, in your own fucking video, mate.
Bring the critic down.
I've never made a video on YouTube.
I could make a better video than him on the wall.
I'm not going to do it because it would be worse than it.
Jim, we've just done it.
What the?
We've given more commentary in this review
criticizing his review
Than he did the movie in his review of the movie
Yeah, that's the thing
And it's fucking 2 a.m. We've been drinking
Man, what the fuck we're talking about
We're half his age, we're fucking idiots
We don't know what the fuck we're talking about
We've spilled chips
Are you spilled chips? I almost
I feel like I was gonna throw up
And we can still make a better review
The guy needs a reality check man
I think I was going to throw up.
It's it, there's just
this great disconnect
between someone who is engrossed
themselves in cinema
and visual language
for fucking decades at this point.
And this is your fucking product.
I'm sorry, man,
but it's just fucking embarrassing.
It is embarrassing.
Like, James' reaction
is the most unfiltered fucking pure.
No, imagine if you're,
unbiased result.
You're like a fucking
15 year old going through you,
YouTube, who
what fucking
KSI video
is there today?
Nostalgia critic
fucking bullshit comes up
and you click on it
but
this shit deep, man.
No, this shit fucked up.
I never want to see this again.
You go off of it and like...
No, but some people do think it's like
really deep because it's like,
well, the hammers are like phones now, dog?
That's fucking...
No, but they wouldn't even know
that it was hammers in the first place.
No, but they show it in the video.
no they show pictures they don't
you know
these hammers are cool do
no they they actually recreate
can you talk about some of the animation in it
there's a couple of bits that are okay
it's like a funny bit where they make the
famous screaming like head that erupts from the wall
into dog's
nostalgic critic face
which you know if the video is good
that'll be cute and everything but
there's also a part in the
one of the
earlier songs where they have like a bird and it looks it looks like i remember when in school we were
taught um flash adobe flash in year seven which is your what 12 11 and and it was a it was
literally about that level i've made things the same quality as that yeah fucking james in year 7 is
is the quality like that's not
it's not acceptable man
it's supposed to be a professional
yeah
like a professional
with some of the most experience with
YouTube and film like video
making out of everyone
he's
in terms of experience
he's far above everyone else
but it's literally like he's at the very
fucking bottom with like a weak experience
with fucking yeah in terms of quality
yeah that's not acceptable
no like you'll have someone just pop
up on YouTube like tomorrow
and their shit is better
incredible
the thing is all you have to do
to be better is have like a slideshow
video with concise
points and that's it
yeah just
a PowerPoint with music in the background of points
yeah boom that's probably better in this video
let the party's hit
but flop
let the
no but it's
it's a new level
of self-indulgence to me
because sure like everyone who is
who talks about movies and stuff
has a tendency to become
like over the top self-indulgent
miscommunicate points
I've done it, we've done it
everyone's fucking done it
I ain't done it
I'm sure we have though
when we've talked about movies in the past on blabs and shit
I'm sure we've done it
and it's like annoyed people
it's natural though
that's just the way it goes
but you know what I want to use
the stuff we fuck up to try
and improve to be like
yeah let's try and be more concise in the future
Let's try and improve the ways to be funnier.
Weed comments and get feedback from the people who watch us so we can improve.
That doesn't happen.
What the fuck is nostalgia critic doing?
He's never read a comment, has he?
He rides the fucking magic carpet.
No, but he must have read good stuff about him to get this fucking ego that he's fucking good.
But I mean, he's made it this far.
what we say doesn't even fucking matter
but I just wanted to say it
like it
the dude's got an ego
even if he doesn't like that's how
it really comes across yeah
no it's like borderlands
you know yeah
yeah it's like boardlands it's like Seth
McFarlane like his sense of humor
so similar to Seth McFarlane where
it comes from a place of
as if he's above everyone
yeah like
I'm at the top and everyone's below me
and all of my humour comes from just putting everyone around me down all the time
and in this case it's the movie
It's not in that like simple way
It's hard to even explain
It's like
Yeah I'm one of you
You know
But but in his own head he's better
It comes across as really snide
Yeah
It's yeah
Can't be doing with this shit, man. My blood pressure just can't...
No, I...
This is my last video.
I'm addicted to it, man.
I'm gonna die after this.
I can't take it.
You see what you've done, Doug? You've killed my brother, man.
It don't get much more serious than this.
I'm dead.
Bro.
Jim's dead, bro.
I...
I...
All I can say...
I can say about this fucking review.
I've seen bad videos.
This is the worst video I've ever seen.
Ever.
It's shit.
That's all I can say.
Yeah, let's just...
Yeah, it's the worst video I've seen on YouTube.
Prepare yourself for it.
And that sounds so hyperbolic, but genuinely.
and it's extra because we're such big fans of the
nostalgia story of the original
I'm joking
no yeah
but yeah to those out there though
who are genuinely
interested in the movie go check it out
it's hard to find which is kind of annoying
and you can only get it on DVD but
it is a movie worth watching
I reckon even if you don't like it
if you're a fan of animation like art
design music especially
music is best bangers um the thing is you never even mentions the difference between the album
and the movie version like yeah how the songs slightly differ how some of the performances are a bit
different some of the songs are actually like they have a better version in the movie and also
there's songs in the movie that aren't even in the album that's what i mean that's the kind of thing
that like you couldn't like briefly mention that kind of thing a bit of information so someone
can go oh i didn't know that i'm a big fan of the album that's the thing that's the kind of thing that's the
If he spent more time
talking about it and less time
satirizing it
Using that term as an insult
To the word satire because it ain't satire
I don't know what the fuck it is
It's what Leafy would call satire
Yeah, it's the equivalent
Yeah
Maybe that's what bugs me so much
Because just flinging around words like that
And like having this intent that is so
Just not genuine
It ain't genuine dog
dog
do you get it dog
Doug
oh nice one
bro
he ain't got no
motherfucking respect
man
he ain't got no
motherfucking respect
I don't why
I need it's the
the
the slip knock guy
he ain't got no
motherfuck
respect
I don't blame him
I blame him
I blame Doug
Jim nice
nice nice
nice JG 5
5
what
what
I got my money
You heard I'm cool.
Is this the worst nostalgic video?
Yes.
Let me give you my one word review.
Okay.
