Line 113:
** At the start, he was much like a whiny adult who had nothing better to do with his time than take cartoons too seriously. Now though, he's more like an actual child, with all the brattiness that entails.
** And like even Doug said in the ''Cartoon Allstars'' commentary, the character was far less pitiful and a lot more threateningly manly back then.
** In the ''Super Mario Brothers'' movie, he's grossed out by the [[Big Beautiful Woman]] and makes no fuss about the [[Shallow Love Interest]] either being a [[
** Also in the early days, he talked about kids' short attention spans and getting easily bored. With his hate for [[Lull Destruction]], can you imagine him saying that now?
** In his second Nerd rant, he doesn't even know what a compliment is. Fast forward to now and he's ''desperate'' for a movie to give him something good to say.
Line 121:
** Lampshaded in the ''[[Captain Planet]]'' review where he spent the whole episode getting smacked with a ruler everytime he says the word:
{{quote|'''Critic''': I really hate this episode.}}
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: He's a feminist who gets upset at unneeded [[Fan Service]], [[Princesses Rule|princesses]], [[
** In the ''[[Cool as Ice]]'' review:
{{quote|'''Critic''': You know, I'm not for the objectification of women, but the only thing that can possibly save this movie is a nude scene. I mean, at least go for flat-out smut and entertain som- oh hey, I got my wish.
Line 178:
{{quote|'''Critic''': Yeah, how's that supposed to put you in a trance, taking two sticks and putting them up and down, up and down, up and down, [''cut to Dulcia in her [[Battle Bikini]]''] up and down...up and down... [''picture slowly zooms in on her breasts'']...up and down...up and down... [''gets his hat knocked off''] [[[Beat]]] You win this round, Dulcea.}}
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: He's mentioned very rarely and Critic still lives with his mom. There's been a few hints that the parents got divorced. (This is in-character of course, Doug's dad - Barney Walker - has helped out a lot with music and such, therefore gets thanked in the credits.)
* [[
** When he was chloroformed by [[The Nostalgia Chick]], he got just as much into the victim role.
** Spooning With Spoony II probably counts, seeing as how he was the only canon one who was roofied and judging by the details, Spoony really went to town on humiliating him.
Line 230:
** [[Keith David]] as well. It's the [[Audio Erotica|voice.]]
** Continuing the trend, he's so charmed by Ernie Hudson in ''Congo'' that he calls him a "black Clark Gable".
** He has a [[Played for Laughs]] crush on Lucas from ''[[The Wizard (film)]]''.
** His utter glee over [[Daniel Craig]] and [[Kate Winslet]] sharing a kiss suggests it's not just Miss Winslet he finds appealing.
** "Ohhh, George Takei, teach me the Spocker!" Said like he's having an orgasm, no less, and made slightly creepy because of the [[Call Back]] to SWS2.
Line 244:
* [[Fan Boy]]: Whenever there's something he likes, or at least a hammy [[Guilty Pleasure]], he'll be gleeing and enjoying himself immensely. And whenever somebody famous calls him, even if they're confusing or treat him like a [[Chew Toy]], he'll be starstruck.
* [[Failure Hero]]: It's very rare that he'll get what he wants or win.
* [[Fainting]]: The emotional kind is played for laughs in his review of ''[[Judge Dredd]]'', ''[[The Wizard (film)]]'', the "I love you, wife" line from ''[[Lost in Space]]'' and he uses fangirls from Disney movies to do yet more swooning over [[Will Smith]] in ''[[Independence Day]]''.
* [[Fan Hater]]: While refraining from it 99% of the time because Doug has a fear of [[Reviews Are the Gospel]], he does [[In-Universe|say]] that anyone who likes ''[[Hannibal]]'' and the [[Jim Carrey]] remake of ''[[The Grinch]]'' is stupid.
{{quote|'''Critic''': I know it's just my opinion but I'm right.}}
Line 311:
* [[Heartbreak and Ice Cream]]: When he's suffering from depression after being called pathetic, he eats his weight in junk food.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely|He Cleans Up Nicely]]: In the Chick's ''Worst Witch'' review, despite the ridiculous wig, he manages to pull off an all-white suit quite impressively.
* [[He
* [[He Knows Too Much]]: When he realizes the Olsen twins are evil bent on world domination, they keep trying to kill him.
* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: Critic in the title cards is far more villainous, masculine and competent than our version.
Line 499:
* [[Please, I Will Do Anything!]]: Quite frequently. He did it when ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' were going to sing another song, when he was made to review the Star Wars Holiday Special and even though it wasn't begging, he did say he would give Devil Sage everything if he took his memories of Sequel Month away.
* [[Prematurely Bald|Prematurely Balding]]: Lampshaded this, noting that he used to have a mop of hair back in high school. He promptly breaks down in tears. Also inverted. For comedy and bad wigs, older versions of him have his hair longer and blonde.
* [[Pretty Boy]]: He and others certainly think so: he calls himself pretty rather than handsome in his ''[[Battlefield Earth (film)|Battlefield Earth]]'' review, Spoony made him dress in drag and took pictures while raping him, the Chick went into bad touch land after chloroforming him, the Game Heroes had fun manhandling him while he was their [[
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: He drives himself crazy trying to decipher the Nerd's "compliment", but when he's ready to give up and admit that the Nerd might be a nice guy, he finds the insult.
** When he's ready to snap and cry because he thinks he and his world is all Alec Baldwin's delusion, he's only a couple steps away from the truth.
Line 524:
* [[The Resenter]]: Well-deserved or not, he's no good at moving on or letting go of a grudge.
* [[The Rival]]: To [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]], who really doesn't know why he hates him so much.
* [[Reluctant Fanservice Girl|Reluctant Fanservice Boy]]: Whenever someone else ([[
* [[Sad Clown]]: Under all the jokes and snark, he's really quite depressed. He even takes it one step further by feeling insecure about his abilities for comedy.
* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Very often and typically for long periods of time.
Line 592:
** Considering how depressed he was that he couldn't muster up the courage to talk to the Chick during the failure date, their relationship becoming [[Dating Catwoman]] probably counts.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Plenty of instances. Examples include taunting Disney villains, tempting an angel to kick his ass and God to strike him down, trusting people he shouldn't and following the orders of Sage ''when he believes he's the devil''.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: When he's parodying being a [[
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Not a bad thing, but he wasn't always lacking in a lot of common sense.
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: As a result of Doug deciding to do more stuff he likes (at least in a [[Guilty Pleasure]] sense) and saying what the movie actually did right. The [[Hidden Depths]] and the [[Pet the Dog]] moments help too. Of course he's still a broken, immature asshole.
Line 681:
* [[Nice Character, Mean Actor]]
* [[Small Annoying Creature|Small Annoying Ghost]]
* [[Took a Level
* [[The Stoner]]: "...I don't know what I was smoking to say that."
* [[Old Shame]]: His in-universe opinion of his theatrical movie.
