Line 19:
* Tommy Wiseau, director/writer/producer/actor/possibly-alien from ''[[The Room]]''
* Bitch Spasms, a ''[[Patch Adams]]'' analog highlighting why the movie character wouldn't make a good doctor. [[Killed Off for Real]] at the end of the ''[[Patch Adams]]'' review.

* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Alter Ego Acting]]: Oh, so much of it...
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
* [[Attention Whore]]: Not in a bad way, but sometimes it can seem like he's putting on a show for entertainment when he's in [[Keet]] mode.
* [[Bias Steamroller]]: If there's a movie with a plot that's been done before, and doesn't add anything "new to the table", he'll probably despise it and usually would try to avoid it.
** Though in his "Old vs. New" videos, he prefers the remakes often enough to avert this trope (''[[Karate Kid]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[True Grit]]'', ''[[The Nutty Professor]]'').
** Also inverted. Anything that treats children or teenagers like they're intelligent and challenges them will at least be given a lot of respect.
* [[Big Eater]]: He said at a con that most of what he eats is a lot of junk food. Looking at him, you wouldn't suspect it.
* [[Black Comedy]]:[https://web.archive.org/web/20131120012246/http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/sketches-the-most-disturbing-aristocrats-joke-ever-1469521 The Most Disturbing Aristocrats Joke Ever].
* [[Break the Cutie]]: He used to love the ''[[Twilight]]'' movies for being so gloriously awful, but ''Breaking Dawn'' made him feel so dirty that he's very close to tears in his own review.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: If you don't know that he's a good singer and knows it, you probably haven't watched his videos. Same with his love of doing impressions. And then of course there's the fact that before making videos full-time he was a professional illustrator and is not unwilling to show off his drawing prowess.
Line 56 ⟶ 57:
* [[Female Gaze]]: Invoked. There are a lot of things he does that makes his girl fans squee and immature male fans reach for [[Brain Bleach]]. <ref> This might also possibly account for some of the more venomous reactions he gets.</ref>
* [[Friend to All Children]]: In a much less screwed up way than [[The Nostalgia Critic]]. He lampshaded his protectiveness of kids in the ''[[Ponyo]]'' commentary, adding that he's speaking as someone who doesn't have kids of his own.
* [[Funny Character, Boring Actor]]: He's usually funnier with his brother Rob, who helps write his videos.
* [[Good Feels Good]]: Sadly it's a [[Missing Episode]], but the commentary for ''[[A Simple Wish]]'' was basically twenty minutes of him discussing how awesome it feels to be a genuine [[Nice Guy]] and he doesn't care if people think he's weak for [[Apologizes a Lot|apologizing all the time]].
* [[The Glomp]]: He's a big fan of these at conventions.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Most of his characters are awful people or deeply screwed-up, or both. The Nostalgia Critic is a bratty lunatic and a bag of issues; "[[Ask That Guy With The Glasses]]" is a sadistic monster; in the trailer for the TGWTG Volume 3 DVD, Doug has kidnapped someone and glued them to a chair to torture them (and promote the DVD). Other TGWTG contributors and fans seem to agree that the real Doug Walker is a ridiculously nice guy. (See [[Nice Guy]] below.)
* [[
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: As well as some of the things he does for the Critic and Ask That Guy, he takes every opportunity he can to flirt with people, start a striptease for con-goers or show off some skin.
* [[Nice Guy]]: He's a sweet man. In his commentary for ''Zombie 5'', [[The Spoony Experiment|Noah Antwiler]] (a nice guy on his own) said how Doug called him up to profusely apologize for coincidentally using his idea of dressing up like [[The Cinema Snob]] first.
Line 91 ⟶ 92:
* [[So Bad It's Horrible (Darth Wiki)|So Bad Its Horrible]]: Doug has this opinion about ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1]]'' and ''[[The Garbage Pail Kids Movie]]''. In his commentary for the latter, he said that this was one of the rare times where he shares [[The Nostalgia Critic]]'s view on the movie.
* [[Stop Being Stereotypical]]: This is his problem with ''[[Enchanted]]''. He states that by the 90s Disney movies, the princesses and female leads ''weren't'' ditzy damsels and ''Enchanted'' was acting like they were.
* [[Talking to Himself]]: He does have loads of characters, and sometimes they interact with each other.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: He can get through ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]'' alright, but ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' always makes him cry.
* [[The Tease]]: He likes his flirting. A ''lot''. All for fun, though.
* [[Tethercat Principle]]: He will occasionally use defiance of this trope as a joke.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: He certainly comes off like this when he reveals he willingly and without regret put clothespins on his private parts for the second animated ''Titanic'' movie review.
* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Doug went through this phase during his high school/college years and made a few short films during that time, which he now considers [[Old Shame|Old Shames]] to poke fun of.
