It's a dark day for the Internet.

Now come on let's be fair here. NC is in my opinion better than Demo Reel. It had a good idea but i was really disapointed with the Wreck it Ralph episode :/. Second he's taken an break and is coming back with a fresh mind. There's a reason he said that episodes are going to take 2 weeks to make so Doug can make fresher jokes.

On a side note was Doug serious in the video when NC said that Doug didn't want to end NC but Doug had a burnout?

It would explain a great deal. And I think removing the restrictions on "era" for a movie is REALLY going to help.

DAISHI · 01/22/2013, 07:01 pm

I am being fair, the entire site is a walking disaster and a plague in the net.

Johro · 01/22/2013, 07:07 pm

I'll be honest and I'll come out to the hate. I kind of enjoy Phelan and Allison's stuff, but I don't watch them on Doug's site. There, I said it.

Shadowknight1 · 01/22/2013, 07:19 pm

I can respect your opinions even if I disagree with them.

MusicallyInspired · 01/22/2013, 08:53 pm

Well, that lasted all of four months.

FrankT · 01/23/2013, 04:49 am

Yeah, I knew he couldn't get rid of him permanently! YEARRRGGGHHHH.

Oh, do you not like it? I'd never have guessed.

Why? The net has lots of reviewers for various different things.
What makes Channel Awesome so especially terrible?

I decided to reconsider my statement and went to TGWG and chose a random thing I'd never seen before. I chose "Awesome Video Games".

What I was confronted by was the same thing I see on the entire site. Unfunny, uninformative, unentertaining.
I then picked the latest episode of Ask That Guy. Same thing.

It doesn't help that the sheer amount of options, on the site, is overwhelming. And each one I pick that seems mildly interesting is just another 'random person acting in a way they think might be funny' shtick. Maybe I'd hate it less if there wasn't such a sheer amount of awful.

Oh, and he insulted King of the Hill. So screw him.

Remolay · 01/23/2013, 11:52 am

I personally loved Demo Reel, but it felt like it was already done with the story anyway, so I'm not sad to see it go.

Secret Fawful · 01/23/2013, 11:53 am

Brad Jones and Spoony are both still great and likable at least, but I go to their websites for their junk. Not TGWTG.

Gibbeynator · 01/23/2013, 12:12 pm

The layout definitely needs work. You'd think people who play favorites with their producers would at least make said favorites easier to track down.

MusicallyInspired · 01/23/2013, 01:44 pm

Spoony isn't even on TGWTG anymore. They've parted ways.

Some people like TGWTG and find their antics hilarious, and some people hate it and find them completely un-funny. I used to enjoy it. I found them refreshingly funny when they first started out and were more amateurs, but now I'm starting to see that they kind of don't really know what they're doing half of the time and now that they consider themselves "professionals" it seems to come off as a bit pretentious. I guess that's the danger with any independent group, though.

I did enjoy To Boldly Flee a heck of a lot more than Suburban Knights, though. It seemed more cohesive. Though, it seems like over-dramatize a lot of their writing and drag on their scenes quite a bit with too much effects, camera work, and whatnot (I'm not film buff, these are just a couple things that started to bug me). But if it's what they like doing and people enjoy it, who am I to say it's not good. I don't really visit TGWTG anymore (I may check out the new Nostalgia Critic reviews...maybe) and I don't consider it important enough to check in my daily schedule, but more power to them if people enjoy it.

King of the Hill deserves to be insulted. The characters are either idiots or overly pretentious to the point of retardedness. Peggy Hill being the biggest idiot of all.

Yes but it had a few well-done subtle arcs therefore it is without fault

But that was the whole point she was supposed to be a huge idiot who thinks she knows everything.

Chyron8472 · 01/24/2013, 10:54 am

They're idiots. Whether they're supposed to be idiots or not is irrelevant to whether or not it's a stupid show.

I don't see why Doug is to be hated just because he doesn't like King of the Hill. He doesn't really care for Harry Potter either, and I love Harry Potter. Does that make him the bane of the internet? Certainly not.

The fact that he produces little that's entertaining is further reason.
