2019 is starting to feel like classic NC again, minus the minute long ads in the middle.

He is a really good analysist, but by God these so called skits (that includes the commercial skits) are insuffarable.
Since that debacle i cant stand this channel
I just hate his voice and his fucking face
what was that meme where he loses his hair and eyebrows
Which is why I just love his editorials. They're so well made. I genuinely love them.
But I hate his comedy writing.
I just skip whenever there isn't the movie playing, works out for me.
Christ who's the target audience for this terrible "skits"?
It's like he feels like his whole word would crumble if he didn't do one episode with a skit.
It also feels like when a video has no skits he gets a couple of complainers going "Where's the skits?!" and then makes more in the next one or waits for a big film to do it. You aught to see his fanbase on FB it's kind of childish. There's a guy who floods his page every day wanting him to do Homeward Bound everyday and it's hilarious!
I have a bit of a soft spot of his sense of humor despite how dated it can get, but in small doses like he did them when he was starting out. Donnie Darko and some recent ones had this but in spades. it's like old NC is creeping back in, but then he thinks the skits are still what the people want and he does them. I'd be not totally shocked if his creeper of a manager is the one making him do the skits.
I find it funny that I find these reviews of movies I've seen and I kind of agree with him. I know this film is well liked with a bunch of praise from my friends and quotable, but MAN did I find it boring. Looking back now I didn't think it was as deep as people thought and some of the scenes where we dive into Donnie's mind do get overly dramatic for their own good. What I thought of Frank being a neat persona to his deranged psyche just looks narmy with the bunny suit and the hard to hear whisper. Then it turns out he's a character from the future of something and it gets sillier and harder to be invested in with this new element just thrown in.
Once in a while he can maybe land a joke, but he puts so little effort in his skits that they come out childish, badly acted and so lazy that it's super painful. Especially when he just puts on a baseball cap and tries doing another voice as an excuse to be another character.
What I want to know who is, or was I guess since everyone left the channel, the target audience for their terrible "feature films"?

I really enjoyed it but then again I have a real fondness for creepy rabbits. Speaking of which, I dreamt someone made a really offensive spoof of Donnie Darko and it became a whole series (kinda like how Rick and Morty was originally intended to troll Back to the Future).
its more like the skits are what keeps him going, and he’s legit putting more effort into them than reviews. He wanted to end Nostalgia Critic years ago and work on Demo Reel, his original show idea, but it bombed so badly he had to revive the critic just to keep his job.
The skits are a part of his show now, and he claims it’s a necessary evolution. The review of Christmas with the Kranks years ago was basically all about this:

Ah well, I'll just keep skipping them then, he could at least just keep them to the end, the ones which startup again half way through are terrible.
I think what you guys are missing is that Doug and Channel Awesome were hugely worried about SOPA and PIPA when they were on the docket.
Doug and SEVERAL CA contributors at the time (including Angry fucking Joe, who did video recordings as his Corporate Commander character under the watchful eyes of fucking snipers) actually went to Washington to speak to congresspeople and others in opposition to the legislation.
They ultimately came back from it disheartened, because what the Washington bubble of thought at the time said, and what the politicians told them, was that if NOT SOPA or PIPA, then SOME legislation like it WOULD BE PASSED. It was a CERTAINTY.
Basically, Doug and the others were told their platform was doomed. That the age of their independent comedic criticism was coming to an end, and the Internet was going to be a much different place soon.
This is why "To Boldly Flee" had so many heavy themes of power-grabbing antipiracy measures and even had a similarly named bill stand as an opposing force. It's why the film ended on a sort of "whatever the future holds, we're still Kumbaya" melancholy ending. It's also why Doug used this opportunity to kill the Nostalgia Critic and start the original series he always WANTED to make. He thought he was reading the winds and making a smart call before the shit could hit the fan.
Doug has CLEARLY never gotten over the fear of that. His skits with original content and his attempt to have some deeper meaning behind his criticisms are ultimately, (if not also more of what he'd prefer to be doing...) a sort of future-proofing. An overkill defense against anyone trying to claim his content as copyright infringement by making it as transformative and full of original footage as possible.
So when he STILL got claimed and demonetized, is it any wonder HE started the "Where's The Fair Use?" tag that gained traction, once YouTube started screwing people over?
you fucking what
