Some of us didn't. With something this low brow, it gets a bit hard to just say no it's bad and you're wrong. It doesn't work that way, but I'll tell you what I didn't like.

I'm not a fan of direct parodies that just take plot elements and toss them together and go ho ho ho that's funny. Demo Reel is the equivalent of a Epic Movie or Meet the Spartans that Doug Walker himself would look down on.

Hey, let's spoof Ghostbusters and throw in ghosts from a bunch of movies we all know. That would be funny. Hey, let's spoof that hit Batman flick. With no comedic thought put into it whatsoever.

This is the basest, lowest, least clever attempt at comedy I could have imagined would come from Walker and I just...can't....laugh at that.

Oh, and the people around Walker aren't likable. Then again, that's not exactly a new thing.

I didn't watch much of it because I don't have time, but it looked like it was spoofing those horrible types of movies. So... it was like a spoof of a spoof.

I didn't find it particularly funny, but then again, I just skipped through it to see what it was like later on, so I may have messed up all the timing.

I don't think it was as good as The Nostalgia Critic but i did find some parts funny like at the end when Doug keeps saying to the writer that it's still his ending but then the writer finds out Doug came in and changed it completely. . Being fair here it was the first episode.

It's like the first NC episode where he reviewed the Transformers 2007 movie and was hyper about it like Chester A Bum usually is. But i think i don't think NC should have ended. I think all it needed was a break and Doug to come up with some new ideas for the show.

I mean i think Doug may be trying to be doing a little too much at the one time because at the start of Demo Reel's first episode he came up saying that Demo Reel episodes will be out every two weeks he said that they are working on more shows like i remember one of them he said was a game show. No offence but i think all NC needed was a break and maybe come up with new ideas to start making it more original.

The last time Doug tried something "different" with the Critic character, the result was the "Bart's Nightmare" video.

Besides, the Scooby-Doo Review was a perfectly good finale for the show. Why ruin that?

Okay, that was good. Thoroughly enjoyed that review, especially the Mara Wilson cameo. And I loved that "Fine, I won't review Matilda! How about I do a Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare instead?" Whoops!

EDIT: Oh and Demo Reel...kinda hard to judge just now. Seems kinda weird. But it did teach me how to do a great Bane impression!

ryannumber1gamer · 12/09/2012, 05:19 pm

Time for some TGWTG updates

Doug & Rob's new show Sibling Rivalary where they discuss movies:http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...ibling-rivalry

New Demo Reel episodes including a short where Doug annoyings Rob Paulson

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...sses/demo-reel

Also Disneycember is back! This time with Pixar movies!!! http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/vid...asses/specials

Shadowknight1 · 12/12/2012, 12:20 pm

I like Sibling Rivalry, still unsure about Demo Reel, and yay for DisneyCember.

However, I do hope that the thing with Rob Paulson was scripted.

Gibbeynator · 01/22/2013, 03:04 pm

Guess who's back. Go ahead, guess.

coolsome · 01/22/2013, 03:20 pm

Does that mean NC reviews are back?

Secret Fawful · 01/22/2013, 03:31 pm

Ugh. Better than Demo Reel, I guess.

coolsome · 01/22/2013, 03:42 pm

YAY this is awesome news!

Shadowknight1 · 01/22/2013, 04:05 pm

What I've seen of Demo Reel is...okay. Much prefer Sibling Rivalry.

*Darth Marsden* · 01/22/2013, 04:12 pm

February 2nd. Mark it on your calenders.

I didn't really enjoy Demo Reel. I saw what they were trying for, but it just didn't gel together for me.

Sibling Rivalry is great though. Hope that continues.

Shadowknight1 · 01/22/2013, 04:52 pm

Okay, just watched the whole video. I'm gonna be honest. I've been expecting this. I personally felt that all Doug really needed was time to make the Critic fresh again. Demo Reel was okay, but it was lacking. It was an experiment and one that I don't think ended up panning out for everyone. That and I figured seeing a really god-awful movie would probably reignite the spark of creativity.

That being said...there NEEDS to be another Mara Wilson cameo in the future since the Critic's back from the dead.

ryannumber1gamer · 01/22/2013, 06:05 pm

Yes!!! More old vs news!!! More Top 11s Also when Donnie looks around and it says come back!!! Am i the only one who thought it was Douchy instead of the dinosaur guy?

Shadowknight1 · 01/22/2013, 06:22 pm

Ryan, maybe you should rewatch the video, it does kinda explain it. Vaguely. Sort-of.

Queen Sars · 01/22/2013, 06:36 pm

I always thought he just needed a break, it sounds like he turned his passion into work and it just became too much. As long as he's doing this because he wants to then good for him! :3

Yeah sorry, i actually posted the comment before watching all the video.....I was so excited about NC returning :/

ryannumber1gamer · 01/22/2013, 06:40 pm

Also he is not restricted to just 1990's-2000 movies anymore so we can see reviews of other movies like Scooby Doo 2, and others.
