It’s hard to believe for me, but it’s only been a little
over a year that I discovered TGWTG. It has always bothered me that I came in late;
it took me forever to play catch up trying to learn about the reviewers and the
videos. Some I love (Film Brain, Nostalgia Chick). Some I like but hate what
they review (Phelous, Lupa, and Cinema Snob). Some I just have no interest in
what they review (Gamers mostly). And a few I just hate (Blockbuster Buster).
Of all of them two I absolutely love. First is Linkara, who I may talk about in
another article about AT4W, and the other of course is The Nostalgia Criticl
I came into these reviews by accident, as I stumbled on his cliché
list in on YouTube. It got me interested so I wanted to see more. One night I
was up past 1:00 in the morning, I just couldn’t stop. It is hard to get me to
laugh, but his videos had me laughing my a** off! For the longest time all I watched was
Nostalgia Critic, I had no interest in anyone else. That was until a little
film called Suburban Knights came along. That was when I officially became a
fan of the site and went thru and learned about all the reviewers.
Anyway, I am getting off topic. Today as we approach the 4th
anniversary of that site I thought I would talk about my ten favorite Nostalgia
Critic episodes. The one’s I love and could watch a million times.
I realize this would be easier if I had video clips, but if you either have not seen an episode or maybe have
forgotten, then you can always check it out again.
#10.Top 11 Cereal Mascots.
I always know when I see a “top 11” that the episode isn’t
going to be very funny. They never are which is cool. Sometimes informative can
be just as fun. This is on here because I just enjoyed the history lessons he
gives for each mascot. It’s not that funny but it is so interesting that it
doesn’t need to be.
#9. HOME ALONE III
This review was really good, because the movie was really horrible.
This was before he felt the need to yell at everything, so he was able to
convey the craziness in a less spastic way. The best part of this review was
his riff on John Hughes. The bit about what Hughes was on when he wrote the
script was really funny.
#8. Ferngully
I didn’t really know who the Nostalgia Chick was when I
first saw this but that didn’t keep me from loving this review. This was just
so funny; I still crack up when I watch it. Every joke works and we even get an
introduction to Big Lipped Alligator Moment. One of the first crossovers I ever
saw, and it was just lots of fun.
#7. Alaska
I love this review! I laughed at all the bits, which is
remarkable because this is an older review. It came out around the time people
started to accuse Nostalgia Critic of not being funny anymore. This review was
funny as hell!
#6 Superman IV
This is a great review, and not just because it has my two
favorite reviewers. In fact when I first saw it I hardly knew who Linkara was. My
favorite moment comes at the beginning, when Linkara is impesrsonating the
critic. Nostalgia Critic suddenly appears, and has this look on his face. He
doesn’t have to say a word, you get it. I have always loved how expressive his
face is. This movie is so easy to make fun of, and they sure do. I have to
quickly mention the other review they did together, the Insurrection review
which was great. In fact I loved every second of Star Trek Month.
#5 Casper
This is here because Casper was one of my favorite bits. I
laugh every time they do the “timing” joke or the song about exposition. I went
back and forth on this one because the end of the review has the critic chasing
Casper and killing him, which I always thought was lame. I always skip that
when I watch this. However, the review part is really funny so it still
deserves a place here.
#4.The OTHER animated Titanic Movie
Dear lord this movie was silly! The review on this was
really funny. Most of the time when Nostalgia Critic complains about a movie he
is watching, it’s kind of hard to really relate. The movie just never seems
that bad. This is the exception, this is terrible. The review is just
hilarious.
#3.North
Want to watch a review which is literally non-stop laughs?
Here is the review for you. This movie is so full of material, and Nostalgia
Critic takes advantage of it. I remember when this movie came out, it was
supposed to be a big hit. This review is one of those where Nostalgia Critic
almost doesn’t have to do anything. He could just let the movie play.
#2.A Simple Wish
I know, I know. This is an easy one because of the amazing
Mara Wilson cameo. But the truth is, this is a pretty funny review even without
that. The movie is so silly and the jokes are pretty good. But, it’s the cameo
at the end which pushes this from good review into one of THE classic Nostalgia
Critic’s of all time.
#1.Independence Day
Why is this #1? This was the first, or one of the first, real
reviews I ever saw. And I laughed so hard! I loved this review, it was just brilliant.
Boomer lives!!!! I saw the movie last
year and started laughing thinking of this review. I loved everything about it. A strong, hilarious review which
was my inauguration to the world of TGWTG. I love this site, and hope it
continues for a very long time.
Honorable Mentions:
Neverending Story III was a close call. Why isn’t Batman
& Robin on here? I just didn’t love
that review when I first saw it. Yeah the freak out over the bat credit card is
funny, but was never one of my favorite moments. Tom & Jerry had that great
bit when he hears the two talk for the first time, but after that the review
isn’t very memorable. The Simon Sez crossover with Lupa was really good. The
old vs new’s aren’t funny but can be interesting especially Batman vs. The Dark
Knight which I agree with. I also wanted to mention the commercial episodes but
they got pushed off the list. I love these because I have always had a thing
for nostalgic ads. These three videos are hilarious with some really funny bits
littered through. FUCKING BUBBLES!!!! (my favorite joke, including sparkle sparkle!)
Well, the truth is that I love pretty much every
review that he has done. I can, and have, watched them over and over
again. I hope that he keeps doing these as long as he can. That’s it I
hope you enjoyed that and remember, this was
all just opinion.
