Nostalgia Critic/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Agent Scully]]: Despite all of the unexplained, magical things that have happened to him, he still demands logic in the movies he reviews.

* [[Aggressive Submissive]]: A force of nature personality coupled with an [[Extreme Doormat]] need to be loved will make you one of these.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Even though even [[Back to The Future|Doc Brown]] would probably laugh at him for not being able to handle his drink, booze pops up a lot in his show.

* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: His mother, manipulative horror that she sounds like.

* [[Animals Hate Him]]: In the mindfucks list, a toy puppy turns into a giant gorilla to kill him. Close to being justified, as whenever there's a movie with an animal in the lead, he usually wants them dead.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Played with. He's annoying, but The Other Guy keeps him in place through disproportionate means. (Like punching him back into a review)

* [[The Anti Nihilist]]: Whenever he has a [[Heroic BSOD]], of the feeling useless but ultimately still wanting to help variety.

{{quote| '''Critic''': It's like trying to save a sinking ship with a bandaid. Anything I try to do would be completely pointless. '''Save me'''.}}

* [[Ax Crazy]]

* [[Attention Whore]]: [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] gently bitches about his hogging all the limelight when he shows up dressed as [[Tim Curry]] in her review of ''[[The Worst Witch]]''.

* [[Authority in Name Only]]: In the TGWTG universe, he's the boss. He gets walked over a lot, however, so that it really doesn't mean much. Phelous doesn't even remember his [[Catch Phrase]].

* [[Badass Unintentional]]: When he's ''trying'' to do anything, he's a [[Failure Hero]]. By accident however (or when he's pissed enough), he's exploded cities, come back to life after getting killed and can tell the death star to blow up a DVD.

* [[Bad Dreams]]: Mostly [[Faux Horrific]] stuff from the movies he watches, but night terrors are pretty constant for him. Could be the reason why he's [[The Insomniac]].

* [[Bad Liar]]: [[Sarcasm Mode|Sure]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R7bz5lrhzs&feature=related they're treating you well, Critic].

* [[Cannot Tell a Joke]]: When whatever it is refuses to give him any more film clips for ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' and tells him to actually make people laugh on his own, he's completely clueless about what to do.

* [[Can't Act Perverted Toward a Love Interest]]: Before his [[Freak Out]] at the end, the date with the Chick was probably the first time we saw him mind-splittingly shy. Having [[The Masochism Tango]] benefits them much more.

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Five minutes into the ''[[IT]]'' review and the audience was already spinning. Five minutes ''later'', he's having to knock his head on the desk to get some sense back into his brain.

** Even earlier in the Snob/Phelous crossover, he was drunk and weepy by 6pm, not even knowing who Rob was, messier than usual, craving Ninja Turtles (even the third movie) and crying that he used to like ''[[The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (Film)|The Garbage Pail Kids Movie]]''. Snob called it "shockingly depressing" and Phelous wanted to hang himself.

* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|Cosplay Otaku Boy]]: An [[Kickassia|M Bison]] costume that he brags got him tons of pussy, a [[Stripperiffic]] [[Suburban Knights|Link outfit]], and, for his review of ''[[Transformers]]'', an Optimus Prime suit with a conspicuous crotch bulge that we get to look at every now and then.

* [[The Corrupter]]: He has this unintentional ability to turn otherwise basically decent people into sadists. (Like Lewis and Doug agreeing that Linkara put the idea to rape Critic into Spoony's head.)

{{quote| '''Critic A''': [[apologizing]] What would Jesus do?<br />

'''Critic B''': [instantly horny] Take me! }}

* [[Crack Oh My Back]]: The lame jokes and the ensuing shrugs of ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' make his back hurt.

* [[Crazy Survivalist]]: He prepares with his gun, a police jacket, a S.W.A.T helmet, knuckle dusters and a baseball bat to watch ''Secret Of NIHM 2''.

{{quote| '''Angry Joe:''' This man WHUPPED MY ASS!"}}

** He gets a [[Break the Haughty]] [[Curb Stomp Battle]] once Joe gets a [http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/02/mvc3-grudge-match-angry-review/ brand new joystick though].

* [[Determinator]]: He'll run all the way from Chicago to Philly to fight the Nerd (which apparently takes two weeks) and he won't even get tired.

* [[Determined Defeatist]]: He knows he's pathetic, but carries on because at least he's resilient.

* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: Whenever he's in [[Cannot Tell a Joke]] mode.

* [[Distracted By My Own Sexy]]: When he's being all determined to face down the Nerd at Digital Press, he checks out his reflection in a shop window.

* [[Distracted By the Sexy]]: Dulcia of the ''[[Power Rangers]] Movie'' defeats a mob of "giant black chickens" by swinging two stick-weapons "throwing them into some kind of hypnotic trance":

** Before Ma-Ti comes in to take the brunt of the abuse in the brawl, he spends most of the beginning on the floor. Both [[Chronic Hero Syndrome|Linkara]] and the [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|Chick]] joined in specifically to save him.

** Looks to be the case in Linkara's [[Previously On]] for ''Countdown'', with Chester in control and shot with [[Hitler Cam]], and Critic being shown in the opposite camera angle and surrounded by darkness. He recovers (with snark) better in this instance than he does the others.

* [[Does Not Like Shoes]]: He's nearly always barefoot when playing around in his house.

* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: After getting beaten on by Casper for a whole episode, he puts on a Ghostbusters uniform and hunts him down.

** The songs in ''The Pebble And The Penguin'' make him feel so dirty that he takes a bath with a toaster.

* [[Drunk With Power]]: Seeing as how he has so little of it usually, when he does get the faintest whiff of power he'll try and cling to it as hard as he can.

* [[Dumb Struck]]: Because Doug lost his voice again, ''[[Alone in The Dark]]'' was so awful that Critic lost the ability to talk.

* [[Dynamic Character]]: He's pretty three-dimensional for an internet personality, and there's a fair amount of both good and bad [[Character Development]] involved.

** "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.

** And now he wants [[Hugh Jackman]]. To be fair, everyone wants [[Hugh Jackman]].

* [[Everything Is Racist]]: Most of the time he has a good point, but at other times he can get on his soapbox a little too much.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Done whenever he feels like it.

{{quote| '''Critic''': ([[Smug Snake|being completely up himself]]) "It's hard to believe that such a handsome man could become even handso... hansomen... prettier."}}

* [[FBI Agent]]: Special Agent in the Department of Criticism, if you believe the ''[[The X Files]]'' expy intro.

* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: [http://whytheyrehot.com/post/376763884/why-hes-hot-hes-the-nostalgia-critic-not This] "Why He's Hot" entry makes a pretty good case for his appeal.

* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: He hates meant-to-be-liked animals in movies (and they usually hate him right back), but falls completely in love with the gross ones, like the targ from ''Star Trek III''.

* [[Foe Yay]]: Invoked with the Nerd. "Nerd-on-Critic action" (which was lampshaded by Chester), the retrospective with "[[Nightwish (Music)|Ghost Love Score]]", one of the TGWTG women telling them to make out in the Brawl bloopers... what more could you ask for?

* [[The Fool]]: Deconstructed. ''[[Baby Geniuses]]'' and "NC Fuck-Ups III" proved once and for all he doesn't care if people find him stupid, but if they think he's not creative or funny, then life isn't worth living.

* [[Formerly Fat]]: Coupling with [[Fan Service Pack]], he's a lot skinnier now than when he was a teenager or even in the early days of reviewing.

* [[Fragile Flower]]: Luckily he mixes this with more [[Hot Blooded]] tropes, but he breaks down in tears often for no reason.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: "I know how this works. If I say the entire title that means that I've got to review it next week."

** [[Genre Blindness]]: He ends up saying it anyway.

** When he has a whimpering breakdown about the [[Nightmare Sequence]] in ''[[Good Burger]]'', he has to take a minute to hit himself in the head and "pull it together". He needs to do it again at the bizarre yet so unfunny scene of Ed's hijinks as he tries to get to work.

* [[Getting Smilies Painted On Your Soul]]: The heart ring in ''[[Captain Planet]]'' makes him feel perfectly fine before a ruler snaps him out of it.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: He's a good man, but don't mistake that for him being nice.

* [[Going Commando]]: When he creams himself at the end of ''[[The Worst Witch]]'', he sults that he's wearing a white suit so it's no problem.

* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]:

** [[Batman and Robin (Film)|A Bat... credit card?]] A ''BAT'' '''CREDIT''' '''''CARD'''''!?!

** He does this in his ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' review. He has a "WE DON'T CARE" outburst when the chase scene pisses him off.

** The opening of "[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/30972-the-other-animated-titanic-movie The OTHER Titanic animated movie]" is a parody of [[Star Wars|Darth Vader's]] birth in ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'', where Rob dressed as Palpatine tells the Vader-Critic that he has to review the movie... cue [[Big No]].

** With [[Teens Are Monsters|what happened to him in that time period]], he's pretty sarcastic towards the lead's problems in ''[[Airborne]]'':

{{quote| '''Critic''': Yeah, if High School has taught us anything it's that it's very, very difficult to be a beautiful, white, athletic male.}}

** His kid fantasy was a naked April O'Neil covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce.

* [[Hates Small Talk]]: The awkward, filled-with-this date with the Chick drove him to breaking point.

{{quote| '''Critic:''' {{[[[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] fantasizes about}} [[Will Smith]]] [slaps himself] BOOBS! YOU LIKE BOOBS!}}

** He does the same thing when he's porning over [[Hugh Jackman]] in the Chick's review of ''[[Kate and Leopold]]''. As he's basically giving a handjob to a stick of butter, it's even less credible than the first time.

* [[Hearing Voices]]: Of the kids who bullied him over ''[[Doug]]'', as well as genuinely creepy laughter.

* [[Heartbreak and Ice Cream]]: When he's suffering from depression after being called pathetic, he eats his weight in junk food.

** The Critic opens the ''[[Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' review like this, apparently still in shock from the insanity of the show.

** Another one happens in his ''My Pet Monster'' review, where in the end he gets asked by the producers of the movie why he is reviewing kids movies and getting incredibly wound up by them at the age of 28. He decides he needs ask himself some hard questions, and spends the credits just sitting on a chair while sad music plays. The depression lasts until the next week where he's pigging out on junk food, his self-esteem is six feet under and he would have given up completely if it hadn't been for an epic [[He's Back]] number.

* [[Hero Worshipper]]: "Lucas! ...darling."

* [[He's Back]]: He gets to have a kickass song and say he's proud of his patheticness at the end of his first commercial special.

* [[In Vino Veritas]]: He's not all that surprisingly different to us, but Phelous and Snob get pretty shocked when they see him vulnerably hanging onto The Other Guy and totally wasted in their "Troll 4" review.

* [[I'm Your Biggest Fan]]: Said in-universe when [[Christopher Walken]] starts calling him. The strangeness doesn't deter him at all.

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Done in a more passive-aggressive style and God knows what the real situation, but even though there's hints that he feels abandoned by the Chick's obsession with Todd, he doesn't push anything too much and he generally just wants her to be okay.

* [[I Want to Be A Real Man]]: In his Top 11 Cereal Mascots, he mentions that the cool, strong, athletic Tony the Tiger is the cereal mascot everyone wanted to be, and he praises the Geek Fight cards for making him look strong and masculine. He's mostly grown out of the mindset and gone into full [[In Touch With His Feminine Side]].

* [[Jaded Washout]]: He's usually too childish to notice how pathetic he is, but he has a few moments of self-awareness. The "Commercials Special" is a good example.

* [[Jerkass Facade]]: Not that he isn't a genuine dick, but coupled with [[Sympathetic POV]], there's no indication that the other characters know what we know about him. Or that he'd be willing to tell them.

* [[Loser Protagonist]]: He lives with his abusive mother, has a load of issues, doesn't own a car, his job is the only life he has and the other one just was being a [[Crusty Caretaker]], doesn't particularly have a lot of talent and has [[No Social Skills]].

* [[Lovable Coward]]: He gets freaked out constantly and driven to tears by things he could just turn off, but he's fun to watch.

* [[Love Before First Sight]]: It's lucky that Lindsay!Chick had so much chemistry with him, but from the way he acted in the "Search For The Nostalgia Chick", he was going to be in love with whatever woman won.

* [[Love Martyr]]: From his knowledge of how abusive relationships work, it's safe to say he's had experiences with going back to a horrible partner.

* [[Female Misogynist|Male Misandrist]]: Oddly (given what [[Straw Feminist|she's]] [[Does Not Like Men|like]]), he's complained more about [[Male Gaze]], the [[White Male Lead]] trend and apparent "what about teh menz" feelings in movies more than the Chick ever has.

* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Every episode he does will feature at least one impression or fake accent. He's usually very good at them, but his [[Morgan Freeman]] voice sounds nothing like the man.

** If there was any doubt that Doug is one of the nicest guys ever, check out Noah's commentary of "Zombie 5". They both had the same idea of acting like [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]], Doug got there first and felt so guilty that he called Noah to apologize profusely when he really didn't have to. We imagine Noah felt like he had just kicked a puppy.

* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Baseball cap, white t-shirt, black suit jacket and a loose red tie. (And jeans of course.)

* [[Mister Seahorse]]: [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] forced him to get preggers through fairy sex one time.

* [[Mood Swinger]]: He's a bit like a Hollywood-style manic depressive.

* [[Motor Mouth]]: One of the issues with his [[Let's Play]] is that he never stopped talking. Granted, ''Bart's Nightmare'' is not much to look at, but quiet moments in LPs are encouraged.

* [[Mouthy Kid]]: Inverted. One small bitch to his Dad and he got punished so severely that he became an [[Extreme Doormat]].

* [[My Beloved Smother]]: "Hey, she's my world!" But like Ask That Guy, he can't stop himself from having a fantasy about her dying every now and then.

* [[My Biological Clock Is Ticking]]: In late 2011/early 2012, there's been a reference in nearly every episode of wanting to be or acting like a father.

** In his third Nostalgic Commercials special, he orders an off-screen minion to inject five people with diabetes (however ''that's'' supposed to work...) then stops and says, "Dear God, I think I might be horrible."

** Accidentally killing [[Mary Poppins]], his first childhood icon, crushes him.

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: He's usually a [[Lovable Coward]] but he has his moments. As an example, he's rather happy about imagining the creator of ''Chairman Of The Board'' getting beheaded. He also curses his love for wanton destruction when the trailer for ''[[Godzilla]]'' draws him in.

* [[Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book]]: That drawing of his parents. Fangs, claws, bb!Critic getting bloodily torn apart... and this was done in ''kindergarten''.

* [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]]: He hates his audience for being sadistic, ungrateful pricks <ref> note that Doug loves his fans</ref> but will put himself through an ungodly shitty film because they requested it all the time. This usually doesn't end well for him.

** Even though the Ghost Of Christmas Future has been an annoying, stalker-like bastard throughout ''[[Babes in Toyland]]'', when the Critic sees that he's depressed, he acts very fatherly and comforting towards him. He then makes the mistake of letting the ghost choose what movie he should suffer through next, and the ghost ''immediately'' picks [[The Grinch]].

** He acts horrified when {{spoiler|Mara Wilson}} reveals some of the videos he made as a teenager.

* [[One of Us]]: He's used the words [[Nightmare Fuel]], [[Fan Dumb]], [[Tear Jerker]] and [[Squee]].

* [[The Only One]]: It's in the [[Catch Phrase]], although if the movie's bad enough or he's miserable enough, it'll be forced on him.

* [[The Only One Allowed to Insult You]]: When he [[Insult Misfire|thinks]] Linkara is calling [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] a wussy, he tells him he's not allowed to insult her in that way.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: But only when compared to Chester and Ask That Guy. Which probably says a lot about them.

{{quote| '''Critic''': If the KGB is watching you, then there's something wrong with you!}}

* [[Oral Fixation Fixation]]: That joystick can't have tasted all that nice.

** In the ''[[Tank Girl]]'' review, he freaks over a possibly horny woman director wanting a [[Shirtless Scene]] for a man. He never acted like that before, he's never acted like that again and he's even made much use of the [[Female Gaze]] himself.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Even if he thinks the kid's a [[Bratty Half Pint]], treat a child badly or don't take responsibility, and Critic will '''hate''' you.

* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: Subverted. He apologizes on behalf of America for the corny lines of ''[[Spider Man]]'', explaining that it was after 9/11.

* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: His bedroom has pink curtains. Amusingly, the first time we saw them was when he was writing in his diary like a teenage girl in the ''[[My Pet Monster]]'' review.

* [[Plain Jane|Plain John]]: You wouldn't think it now with the way he brags about being cute, but he used to think of himself as just another doughy nerd. But even then he had half-clothed [[Shower of Angst|Showers Of Angst]].

* [[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 [[Distressed Dude]] and both Linkara and [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] have fairly obvious crushes on him.

* [[Rape As Backstory]]: On his prom night, even. Low blow.

* [[Rape Is Love]]: Somewhat creepily, seeing as how he was so traumatized when it actually happened. In the big ''Avatar'' review, Critic was getting off to the same book Spoony had in SWS2 remarking on the prospect of "The Spocker", and at a con, he dreamily remembered Spoony as very giving as well as taking.

* [[Really Gets Around]]: Just not quite in the way he wants.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: [[In-Universe|Believes]] in this pretty heavily. As an example, Princess Peach using a frying pan to knock out an enemy disgusts him. As another example, he calls the possessed person in ''[[Star Trek]]'' with "no emotions, no feelings and no needs" the perfect woman. Although like Chick and Lindsay, this is just meant to be the character being an idiot and not Doug's real feelings on the subject. In Doug's own reviews of Disney movies, he even argues why leads like Ariel, Cinderella and Snow White aren't the feminist nightmares they're made out to be.

** Nicely swapped round with Linkara in ''Star Trek Insurrection''. To perhaps show Critic has grown up a bit, he shouts very little and tries to be optimistic while Linkara spends a lot of time angry and yelling.

* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: With a few people. The Other Guy is now Critic's brother as well as Doug's when originally he was just a guy who hung around the house. The Ask That Guy/Critic relationship has had a [[Sure Why Not]] to them being related when their first interaction was more like acquaintances. Dr. Smith killed him in his first appearance, yet now they're sorta friends. He and Chester have an [[Odd Friendship]] while Lindsay and Doug have confirmed that their characters are in a [[Dating Catwoman]] relationship.

* [[Sexy Stewardess]]: In the first DVD menu, he bizarrely (but not problematically) dresses up like a flight attendant who has a lot of skin showing.

* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|She Is Not My Crush]]: The boy doth protest too much about having a thing for [[Jesu Otaku]].

* [[Sissy Villain|Sissy Anti-Hero]]: Although not with the usual [[Unfortunate Implications]]. He's a pathetic jackass, but not because he's "sissy". That's just part of his personality.

* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: The only episode where he didn't swear was in ''Follow That Bird'', which is very sweet.

{{quote| '''Critic''': Effort! Honest to God effort!}}

* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: Literally. He takes pills that he owns to make him sound like Kevin Conroy, and his voice drops much lower as well as his balls.

* [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: Santa Christ showing up to erase his memory of the [[Star Wars Holiday Special]]. And "Poor Critic" at the end of his Commercials Special has him getting his self-confidence back.

** In the ''NickComs'' episode, [[Tempting Fate]] actually works in his favor for once and gives him ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]''.

{{quote| '''Nostalgic Critic:''' Big Bird! Oh my god! He is just as big as I remember him! Some things never change when you're a chi- IT'S A MAN IN A COSTUME! ...A big...loveable...heartwarming costume...}}

* [[Twinkle Smile]]: Done in the ''[[Quest for Camelot]]'' review, where he makes fun of how easy it is for Kaylee to come along.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: As lampshaded by Ma-Ti in ''[[Kickassia]]''. If he does actually care for someone, he'll cling on tight and do anything for them.

* [[Unfazed Everyman]]: Despite his cowardice, he's perfectly accepting of characters from the movies he's watching talking to him

** His female voice is getting better too. In early reviews, it was just slightly more high-pitched than his child voice. Now it's almost sounding like a woman is talking.

* [[Weakness Turns Her On|Weakness Turns Them On]]: Even the other TGWTG contributors like him better when he's vulnerable. Spoony especially.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: A [[Cool Gun]] he uses with wild abandon. [[Word of God]] says it was done for the funny, the menacing aspect and also because it's really quite pathetic.

* [[What Beautiful Eyes]]: They're large, change between gray, blue or green and he uses them to his [[Puppy Dog Eyes|advantage]].

* [[When She Smiles|When He Smiles]]: Look at the top picture of the three Critics on his blip page. The first is him being goofy, the second is him looking angry while pointing a gun, and what does the third involve? A cute smile with his dimple showing.

** And of course, there's ''[[Suburban Knights]]'', where he wears a ''very'' skimpy costume. [[Innocent Fanservice Boy|Critic]] didn't know what he was doing, but Doug evidently did.

** When his early teenager self says "I like to wear women's clothing" and dresses up in a blonde wig, present!Critic's already high embarrassment goes through the roof.

* [[Wife Basher Basher]]: Due to that scene in ''[[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', he shoots the lead in ''[[Singinginthe Rain]]'' because he thinks he's a rapist.

** A bit more noble example occurs when he tries to shoot Lady Tremaine for her abuse of Cinderella.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]]. He even says "You are indeed the most worthy adversary" during the second episode of the feud.

** [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] is probably the only reoccurring person in his reviews that he can both make fun of and have affection for.

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Mostly [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]]. Naturally, she likes beating on him just as much.

** Although it seems he only does this with women who can give as good as they get. He's disgusted with ''[[Good Burger]]'' for Carmen Electra getting beaten up and having it played for laughs.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fanboy]]: He sees the [[Ho Yay]] in [[Superman|Superman/Lex Luthor]], [[Lord of the Rings|Frodo/Sam]], [[American Idol|Simon Cowell/Ryan Seacrest]], [[Batman|Batman/Robin]] and [[TMNT|Leonardo/Raphael]].

** When he starts to be sure that ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' has ended on at-least-not-so-bad note, the movie proves him wrong. He doesn't take it well.

** He was on the verge of solving world hunger and cure all unknown diseases when ''[[Duck Tales]]'' popped into his head and broke all concentration.

* [[Jerkass]]: Whenever Critic tries to bring logic in, Casper just slaps him around.

* [[Madden Into Misanthropy]]: He's tired of being the "friendly ghost".

* [[Small Annoying Creature|Small Annoying Ghost]]

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: This is ''not'' the Casper you know.

* [[Internet Tough Guy]]: As soon as he meets up with the Critic and Linkara in person, he's a lot more cowardly.

* [[Jerkass]]: Douchey just loves to torment the Nostalgia Critic, even playing the ''[[Doug]]'' theme when he knows that would set him off. It's also telling that Douchey isn't the one to remind the Critic of the autism fuck-up.

* [[My Beloved Smother]]: Douchey still lives with his mother, which he tries to conceal.

* [[Name McAdjective]]

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: He has a screeching temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way.

* [[Shadow Archetype]]: To Chester. Both have [[No Indoor Voice]], go off on random tangents and have the same wi- hair, but while Chester is generally a good guy who gets idealistic about every movie he sees and deals with a sucky life through drugs and alcohol, Douchey is an entitled whiner who disproportionately complains about ''everything''.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: He's just a ''touch'' too obsessive, what with waiting until three in the morning to watch the videos as soon as they come out.

* [[Static Character]]: He's a personification of [[Jerkass]] fans, why would he change?

* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Invoked. He comes up whenever Critic does something "wrong", but does it in such a [[Jerkass]] way.

* [[Straw Misogynist]]: He calls [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] a whore for not conforming to his standards of beauty.

* [[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: Not like he really deserves it, but he's had two doses of satisfaction; in the "Old Vs. New: Willy Wonka" where he got to torture Critic with evil [[Ear Worm|ear worms]] with no retribution and in the "You're A Dirty Rotten Bastard" special where without the Critic being alive, he would have been the best fan ever.

** The Critic asks him honestly if he wants a job as a fact-checker, but Douchey refuses him.

* [[Unpleasable Fanbase]]: [[In-Universe|He]] declares a pox on the Critic, IMMEDIATELY after the Critic sarcastically says "Who am I to doubt the logic of internet commentators?"

* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: That's why Douchey knows the difference between a 18th century dress and a Victorian one.

 

=== Dr. Smith ===

<!-- %%Kickassia-specific tropes belong on its character sheet. -->

 

* [[Catch Phrase]]: ''Spiiiiiiders!''

** Sometimes extended to "''Spiiiiiders!'' A giant legion of ''spiiiiiiiders!!''", which appears to be his suggestion for anything.

* [[Large Ham]]: Not that the original performance wasn't.

* [[Obviously Evil]]

* [[Speak of the Devil]]: He comes up again when the Critic realizes what the big monster in ''[[IT]]'' was.

* [[Villain Decay]]: Invoked. First appearance: he controls the Critic into giving him his gun. Later appearances: they're almost friends and he just wants to be liked.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Heart!", to the point that it's basically a [[Verbal Tic]] for the character.

* [[Chew Toy]]

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Ma-Ti is fourteen, Bhargav is in his twenties. Seeing as how he's raped Ask That Guy (after nearly getting raped himself) and had a threesome with Chick and Marz, this is probably for the best.

* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: Raping Ask That Guy in "Ask That Guy VIOLATES Ma-Ti".

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]

* [[Innocently Insensitive]]: There's a joke in the "Siskel & Ebert" tribute about him going to the hospital to get his balls removed, which makes him a pussy. Critic tries to set him straight, but he firmly confirms it.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: As of ''[[Suburban Knights]]''. Unless the Critic ''does'' get around to finding the Necronomicon...}}

* [[Messy Hair]]: Although it ''is'' Bhargav, he probably can't help it.

=== Santa Christ ===

 

 

Santa Christ is played by Doug's brother, Rob.

* [[Parody]]: Of Clarence from ''[[Its a Wonderful Life]]''

* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level In Badass]]: He explodes into a ninja costume and proceeds to whoop the Critic's ass once he realizes that he would become God's number one man and buddy if the Critic did not exist.}}

 

=== The Other Guy ===

* [[Evil Makeover]]: Dark Rob looks a lot like [[Edward Scissorhands]]. Funnily enough, Elisa (who plays the Makeover Fairy) said on a stream that she was impressed by how well the boys did his make-up.

* [[Evil Overlord]]: When he dresses up like Palpatine, he says he's the dark, controlling overlord in real life too.

** He's the calm brother who's fine with being a dinosaur randomly.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: When he sees Critic dead and bloody in the shower at the end of ''[[IT]]''.

* [[Hidden Heart of Gold]]: He's only shown concern for the Critic ''once'' when he was conscious. The other times he was dead, too drunk to recognize anyone or passed out.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: In his own words, he's the dark, shadowy puppet-master who controls the Critic.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: He looks after the Critic whenever he's ''really'' upset.

* [[Real Life Relative]]

* [[Mad Bomber]]

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: He's still obsessed with lego and he blows up the people he doesn't like.

* [[The Slacker]]: All he collects now are unemployment checks.

 

=== Dr. Bitch Spasms ===

* [[Expy]]: He's Doug impersonating [[Robin Williams]]' voice and doing incredibly ridiculous things.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: And his corpse is still lying on the Critic's floor.

* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: He throws his red nose at a sick, annoyed Critic and runs off before he can get his ass kicked.

 

* [[Exact Words]]: Catches the Critic in this, and proceeds to dish out a [[Humiliation Conga]].

* [[The Legions of Hell]]/[[Humanoid Abomination]]: Implied.
