== [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] ==
* [[Tropers/LL Smooth J|LL Smooth J]]: I usually like watching the Critic's reviews and I never thought I'd find myself adding a moment, but his "Airborne" review left a bitter taste in my mouth. Particularly his constant criticism of Mitchell [[What Measure Is a Non
* [[Tropers/Jay Ju Jay Me Man|Jay Ju Jay Me Man]]: Doug Walker always says adaptations should stand on their own, but that still doesn't justify his review of [[The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]. He blatantly ignores the fact that Robotnik's minions were all enemies Sonic fought in the games. He also ignores several other elements from the games that were imitated in the show, several of which are pretty much [[Foregone Conclusion|foregone conclusions]] for anybody whose ever been near the games. Perhaps he just hasn't played the games, but he should have at least [[Did Not Do the Research|done the research on them beforehand]]. Not liking the show is fine, but facts need to be kept straight.
* [[Tropers/Sparky Young Upstart|Sparky Young Upstart]]: His review of Cop and a Half started out fine enough, and I knew he was going to make a joke about how the situation (a little kid refusing to give information on a crime unless he's allowed to be a cop), but his response? A dramatization in which the kid gets beaten by a cop. Spurts of blood can be seen coming from offscreen. That's right, in a show where he normally gets pissed off at movies for being harmful to children, he actually makes a joke about child abuse so that he can force in a ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' reference. I couldn't even watch the rest of the review after that.
Line 59:
* [[Tropers/Red And White|Red And White]]: The "Power Rangers: Zeo" episode. I'll admit, I haven't been a great fan of the Vyce arc anyway (as people keep saying, the pacing has been awful and its a case of "must be more epic") but the fight just smacked of huge self-indulgence. It's a really big shame, because the last showdown he had with Mechakara was brilliant, scary and just generally a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* [[Archduke Cthulhu]]: In the collaborative One Moment In Time review, I enjoyed it for his massive [[Take That]] of Quesada like his reviews of Countdown for DC, but the opening bugged me. He and his friend (The Last Angry Geek) beat up a guy who enjoyed [[One More Day]] and force-fed him his trade edition. That wasn't [[Comedic Sociopathy]], that was being an obnoxious fanboy douchebag.
* [[Tropers/JFP 1986|JFP 1986]]: His review of the Godyssey wasn't truly bad, but I think he seriously dropped the anecdotal ball there. No mention whatsoever of Rob Liefeld currently being a born again Christian, the much publicized relaunch of Avengelyne that actually looks pretty cool, or that Alan Moore wrote some issues of Glory. And I was just a bit bothered when Linkara said we shouldn't care about Liefeld's departure from Image. As an aspiring comic book and popculture historian, I happened to be fascinated with Image Comics history. And saying that Liefeld shouldn't work for any company because he only did the cover art for the Godyssey (which isn't entirely true, he also help plot it) is an unbelievably weak argument. I know these are just jokes, but it gives me the impression that for the most part, Linkara doesn't care for the history of any comic books that aren't [[Marvel Comics]], [[DC Comics]], Comics/Transformers, [[Star Trek]] or [[
* bobdrantz: His review of ''Atari Force #1''. The main reason is that he decided to do it live. Look, Linkara, I'm sure you thought you were doing someting special for the fans. But, when I can't hear you over all the people screaming in the audience, there's a problem. It may have been a good idea at the time, but, it was poorly executed. Next time, Linkara, just stick to the multi-part specials instead.
* [[User:So We Ate Them]]: "[[Silent Hill]]: Dying Inside #1-2" Three little words: "Special Needs monster." Linkara makes a point out of being one of the site's most tactful members. So why did he think that making a joke [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] couldn't get away with was a good idea?
Line 71:
== [[The Angry Joe Show|Angry Joe]] ==
* [[Tropers/Ultima Thule|Ultima Thule]]: Angry Joe's "Transformers 2 Review: Joe & Fans vs. The Critics". It's not just that he [[Completely Missing the Point|misses the point]] on a lot of criticisms he points out. It's not just that when he says that Michael Bay was "trying to please everybody," he fails to acknowledge what trying to please everyone [[It Got Worse|usually results in]]. It's not just that he outright insults everyone who didn't enjoy Revenge of the Fallen, making us look like humorless snobs (I for one can, in fact, enjoy mindless thrill movies but I just didn't likeRotF; though I don't go so far as to call people idiots for liking it). Joe forgets that [[Opinion Myopia]] goes both ways; in insulting people who are blind to others' opinions, he only [[He Who Fights Monsters|makes himself look bad]], and he automatically assumes that the viewers completely agree with him. Add to that the fact that he plays the flimsy "If you didn't like this movie you're a sissy!" card throughout, displaying an [[Rated "M" for Manly|overly macho attitude]] that detracts from his credibility. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that only "real men" are capable of enjoying anything. Our star producer, ladies and gentlemen: a hypocritical [[Jerkass]] with a messiah complex.
* [[Tropers/Dude L|Dude L]]: Angry Joe's "Top 32 Reasons Why I Hate [[Fable|Fable III]]". [[This Is Gonna Suck|Oh God]]...I know Fable III deserves it's your mileage may vary status and it would have been okay if he just did a rational, fact-based negative review with some humorous anger. But no, he had to go on a twenty-five minute rant where he makes the game sound like the nadir of all that ever was. While he does point out some legitimate flaws like the game's short length and the fact that you need the exact same DLC as someone to play co-op with them, most of the flaws he complains about are small, subjective, or simply [[Did Not Do the Research|things he didn't look into more]]. He complains about the loading screens between areas (not every studio has the tech to reduce the amount of loading, and the loading screens aren't even long), he calls melee combat pointless because enemies block your attacks (they don't block 100% of the time and he forgets you can charge up your attack for an unblockable one), he says that the co-op is flawed because, while it's up to par with what Fable 2 deserved, [[Unpleasable Fanbase|it isn't up to par with what Fable 3 deserves]], he doesn't like the expression system because he would prefer to have an actual conversation with the npcs (not every game needs [[Dialogue Tree|Dialogue Trees]] Joe) and because he thinks the fart and dance expressions are silly (it's a humorous game Joe! Do you not get that those silly expressions are supposed to be silly?), he doesn't like the customization options because he thinks they are limited i.e. he can't get the exact style of facial hair he wants, and Jesus Christ it goes on.
