* [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]]'s feud with [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]] got a bit of attention from the [[Ho Yay]] fans. Seeing as how the phrase "Nerd-On-Critic action" got used a lot, the retrospective video used Nightwish's ''"Ghost Love Score"'' and they acted like an old married couple when they did their review together, this might have been the intention. Even Chester lampshaded it with "Otherwise there'll be Nerd-On-Bum action! ...wait, does that mean what I think it means?"
* You just know that Spoony patting the Critic on the shoulder and calling him "honey" will cause the [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]] to [[Squee]].
** In a deleted scene, when he's backtracking over insulting people with glasses, he ends up saying that the Critic's glasses make his eyes look nice, that he's a handsome man and he'd hit it if he swung that way.
*** Really, the whole Behind the Scenes video for that [[Alone in Thethe Dark (Film2005 film)|review]] qualifies. Best summed up by quoting [[Benzaie]]'s comment on that video: "[[Shipper Onon Deck|come on guys make out already ! :woohoo:]]". [https://web.archive.org/web/20140524054932/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/specials/12211-vlog01 See for yourself].
**** This troper would ike to know what time
** From his ever-changing header space on his site: "Come to think of it, I've done things to the Nostalgia Critic that I'm not proud of, either." [[Squee|Oh my God...]]
** As of ''Spooning With Spoony II'', Spoony/Critic is canon. It's also been the only one referenced since then. First time was in the "Captain America" review when Spoony blackmailed Critic with pictures of when he was roofied and dressed up like a dirty ballerina. Second time was in the Spoony/[[Lord Kat]] crossover when Critic admitted that, yes, making Spoony complete the Pumpkinhead game was punishment for raping him. And Doug has been implying for [[Black Comedy]] lately Critic may have actually enjoyed it despite him breaking down in trauma at the time.
* From the first five minutes of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925044952/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/12918-sup4 their Superman IV review], you could be forgiven for thinking that Linkara has a crush on the Critic.
** In his ''[[Silent Hill]]'' month, he has hallucinations of the people he cares about being creepy. [[Action Girlfriend|Iron Liz]] and [[Team Dad|Harvey]] are there, of course, but why is Critic there instead of Spoony? <ref> Because Doug could make it and Noah couldn't.</ref>
** From the Next Top 11 F*ckups:
{{quote| '''Critic''': Oh Linkara, are you saying that I�m so physically attractive that I�m turning you gay right now?<br />
'''Linkara''': Yes, yes I am. }}
** We have Linkara and the Critic cosplaying as [https://web.archive.org/web/20130925044952/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/12918-sup4 each] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFRDdh9GCYc other].
** [http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b92/disney_punk10/Photos/74868_529562960061_64001901_31402102_7328792_n.jpg Now that's just blatant encouragement...]
** In the same con, Linkara (played by Doug) said that he helped Spoony get the Critic for [[Black Comedy Rape|spooning]]. Oh, the implications...
** Going back to as early as the Brawl, Linkara is the only one (as well as the Chick but she doesn't count here) to [[The Dulcinea Effect|come in to save]] the Critic.
** When Spoony makes the Critic's computer say "I like to wear women's clothing" (which in itself is [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] for SWS2), Linkara looks very interested.
** Comes up again in ''Star Trek: Insurrection'', with a pissed off Linkara ordering Critic around and Critic being submissive in spite of finding him annoying.
* In ''[[The Legend of the Titanic]]'', The Other Guy tells Critic that he controls him. About two weeks later in ''[[Little Nemo]]'', the Critic gets punched when he doesn't want to do a review. Cue delighted "abused wife" reactions.
** Spoony seems to like the incest as much as we do. When he spooned them both, as well as many others, he tells The Other Guy that "he makes noises just like his brother".
** When Critic is drunk in the Phelous/Snob "Troll 4" crossover, he moves his arm from Rob's shoulder to his waist.
* He apparently finds [[Will Smith]] in [[Independence Day]] charming to the point that starts to oogle a little over him, but then slaps himself and cries, "Boobs! You like boobs!" That doesn't help, though, as the whole review is basically fangirl adoration.
* In his Top 11 [[Villain Song]] Countdown, when listing [[The Princess and Thethe Frog|Dr. Facilier's]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|"Friends On The Other Side"]], he stated that he would go gay for [[Keith David]]'s voice.
* Critic/[[Christopher Walken]], anyone?
{{quote| '''Walken''': Love you.<br />
'''Critic''': Love you too. *hangs up* ...what just happened? }}
* As well as almost certainly getting date-raped on his prom night by a man ("It's like prom night all over again" at the end of SWS2), note that he never specified what gender was the person he broke up three times in high school and so stalked him.
* In the [["Previously On..."]] for the [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Atop the Fourth Wall]] review for Countdown, it looks suspiciously like Chester is only destroying the world to get Critic's attention.
* He also likes Ernie Hudson so much that he calls him a "black Clark Gable".
* He had a crush on Lucas from ''[[The Wizard (film)]]'', which is a slightly [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] if you know what the actor who played Lucas went on to [http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9282/1299706734488.jpg do]...
* While he got a bit of flack for his falling back on gay jokes in the ''[[He -Man and Thethe Masters of Thethe Universe (Animation)|He Man and The Masters of The Universe]]'' review (which even Doug and Rob regretted), he was still nice enough to give us this:
{{quote| '''Ivan Drago''': I must break you.<br />
'''Critic''': Trust me, I'd rather have you break me than sit through this ass-fest. }}
* In the Critic's Christmas Special, after the reveal of The Cinema Snob as a porn star, the Critic wants to stay and watch.
* The Game Heroes were rather... handsy with the Critic when he was playing the [[Distressed Dude in Distress]], weren't they?
* He'd much rather see [[Fight Club|Tyler Durden]]'s penis than sit through another minute of the Pound Puppies Movie.
* While proving [[Even the Guys Want Him]] is ''very'' true when it comes to [[Hugh Jackman]], he's basically jacking off a stick of butter.
* When he's singing about how awesome sluttiness is, he looks particularly pleased when he sings Chippendale Bars give you much nicer action than Spartan Warriors from 300.
* His fantasy crossover with Nash is cosplaying with him in a pink bedroom filled with [[Hello Kitty]] items. Nash unsurprisingly thinks this is rather weird.
* In the ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' review, [[BrentalflossBrental Floss]] calls Critic "baby" and gets into his personal space just as much as the Chick does.
* There's something inherently slashy at the start of the [[Star Trek: Insurrection]] review where the Nostalgia Critic is practically molesting [[Sci Fi Guy]].
** Critic's hand is resting on Sci-Fi Guy's hair even after their [[Evil Laugh|Evil Laughter]] ''didn't'' get interrupted and it descends into awkward lying together in the same bed.
* In the ''[[Ponyo]]'' end credits where he's getting beaten, you can see men as well as women biting, groping, holding him down and choking him with his tie. (All pretend of course.)
Line 49:
* He has a pretty... complicated relationship with his narrator. In an alternate ending for the second DVD (that a caption says was too depressing) he crazily shoots him and then puts a gun in his own mouth.
* Bennett The Sage/Ask That Guy is a particularly [[Nightmare Fuel|terri]][[Nightmare Fetishist|fyin]][[No Yay|g]] ship, especially when [[Complete Monster|Bennett]] strokes Ask That Guy's face and tells him he's been good, while the previously reigning champion of [[Jerkass]] cowers in fear.
** As well as watersports and a facial, we also have canon [https://web.archive.org/web/20130521111435/http://www.formspring.me/BenTheSage/q/176144531274628041 stab-wound fucking]. And people say the fangirls go extreme.
* As of ATGWTG Ep. 54, Ask That Guy and Linkara are now canon.
* There's also been a [[Shout-Out]] to Critic/Ask That Guy (fanonically [[Twincest]]) with Ask That Guy saying het twincest isn't nearly kinky enough for his tastes.
Line 57:
** There is another example in his Wiz n' Liz video, where Benzaie wakes up next to Spoony in his red robe, who proclaims "Hello my [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|crazy French space lumberjack...]]"
** They're this trope all way, from the constant half-naked cameos (like when Spoony wore that robe and gave weird advice, or when Benzaie stripped at the end of the Phantasmagoria LP), to the passionate embraces and long kisses whenever they meet in real life.
* And from his [https://web.archive.org/web/20140524000950/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/bt/benzaie/hardcorner/13861-ep017 VLog on Chicago], we have him kissing Rollo-T and being dipped and kissed by Bennett The Sage. [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Glad to see everyone's getting some french loving.]]
* Benzaie and [[Phelous]] in their ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130924224933/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/phelous/22640-benzaie-phelous-humains Humains]'' review.
* He does it again, while [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] he strokes 8-Bit Mickey and chews on his tie. And after Mickey defeats Lord Kat and gets him [[Black Comedy Rape|spooned]], Benzaie walks out with his arm around Mickey and shakes his ass.
* Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you [https://web.archive.org/web/20130806125340/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/benzaie/gymdk/28689-beverly-hills-cop The Gay Benzaie Rap, (I just want to touch a couple guys)!]
{{quote| '''Phelous''': I love you, Benzaie. Do you love me too?}}
** According to that, he also has a thing for Angry Joe, LordKat, Spoony, Linkara and Critic.
* WAIT I read this entire page... I am the only one who saw Angry Joe and Benzaie holding hands in the brawl? Sure is a blink and you miss, but you would think that Yaoi Fangirls know to never blink...
* From [http://benzaie.com.over-blog.com/article-tgwtg-does-benzaie-roast-73273713.html the TGWTG Does Benzaie video], we get a hilarious Benzaie/Doug anecdote. Both of them had decided to go to the hotel hot tub. Doug specifically told Benzaie not to wear a speedo, which Benzaie agreed to. He showed up in a g-string instead.
-
* How about [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] and [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]], watch the Warrior review, and the commentary.
** Also, Linkara and Insano, which doubles as [[Foe Yay]].
** Linkara/Spoony and Linkara/Insano is so thick, they've acknowledged it in the second Warrior review, with Linkara complaining that Insano was giving the slashers material. And then you have the whole "Linkara is so distressed by Spoony's death that he spends a lengthy period of time trying to bring him back to life" thing not unreminiscent of Wonder Girl's reaction to Superboy's death...
Line 75:
* "Mmm, bacon cigarette..." That is all.
* Though referring to [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|fake lesbianism]], this line is a little suspicious.
{{quote| '''Spoony''' "You can tell these two girls are so not sexually attracted to one another, because they both act exactly like two straight people who have been ordered to kiss on a dare."}}
** ...This [[Yaoi Fangirl|troper]] would like a link.
* The menu's description of Todd and Lindsay's ''Transformers 3'' vlog is almost subtle about it:
{{quote| After Brad and Spoony had their epic say, Channel Awesome's other power couple talk about the one summer movie that no one is talking about: ''Transformers Dark of the Moon''.}}
-
* There's also [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] and BFF Nella. One video even shows them in bed together as part of an [[Armageddon (Film)|Armageddon]] parody.
** Another video establishes that The Chick has cameras hidden in Nella's bedroom.
** And as of the [[Grease]] review, in her ''bathroom.''
Line 87:
** In the "Pride" video, Lindsay moves in to kiss Nella, who tells her "We are not playing 'gay chicken'! I always lose."
** In the "Characters of [[Suburban Knights]]", Lindsay is pretty much lying on top of a seated Nella.
* Dr. Tease (played by Elisa) comes off as decidedly flirty when they review ''[[X -Men: theThe Animated Series]]''.
** Dr. Tease seems to flirt with all the women she meets, including Dark Nella and [[Marz Gurl]] (while interviewing her in "Sexual Awakening of the Human Nerd, Part 2") and flat out propositions [[Obscurus Lupa]] in Part 3.
** The Chick to Dr. Tease: "Yes, I like sexy men. Do you want to mend that? You look like you want to mend that."
** In the Chick's review of ''[[Les Misérables]]'', we have Elisa/[[Obscurus Lupa]] [[Les Yay]]. [http://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/77216530269614081 And it was intentional too].
* Chick/Lupa in Lupa's ''Honor & Glory'' review. First, we have Lupa being [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]-esque and hiding out in the Chick's bed. Secondly and more amazingly, Lupa does something that not even Critic or Chick's friends could do... '''make the Chick loosen up and have fun'''. (That's not fighting or anything to do with getting hurt anyway.)
** In the commentary, Lupa notes how nobody saw that she was staring at the Chick's ass when she was under the pillow.
* And "Linking Up with Linkara" brings us {{spoiler|1=Nostalgia Chick/[[Marz Gurl]]}}.
-
* And even Doug and Mike Ellis have got in on the act in the last five minutes of [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140715145549/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/fbv/bmbe/12820-jazzsing Bad Movie Beatdown]. "Sweetheart" and kissing on the head, how adorable.
* Doug/EgoRaptor was shamelessly teased at Shado Con, with a [http://i56.tinypic.com/16knrf9.jpg picture] of Doug kneeling in front of him and acting like a kitten and their appearance on [http://www.anirage.com anirage]. That game also has Doug proposing to a (cute Sage-lookalike) dude in a labcoat, Rob's [[Running Gag]] of being given AIDS by him, another guy nearly kissing him for a Klondike bar and apparently [[Crack Pairing|Doug/Waldo is canon]]. Man gets around.
* At Aninite last year, he did the impossible and out-flirted Benzaie by sitting on his lap. There also was a hug with the announcer that lasted until the guy's hands went [[Even the Guys Want Him|too low]].
* It's getting to be that nobody will be surprised if Doug wasn't 100% straight. Just look at the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPnb__v5Tf8&feature=related Anime Milwaukee Q&A], he's clearly happy to flirt with anyone.
** Correction, it's getting to the point where people are more likely to be surprised if he is completely straight.
*** Again in Anime Milwaukee, at the farewell session, he lies down on stage while the other two guests are talking and lets people take pictures of his crotch. This includes guys.
*** Right after, the other male guest jokingly calls him out for prostituting himself and Doug corrects him, saying he's just a manwhore.
*** Not to mention that he entered by giving that other guest a nice hug and kissing him on the head.
Line 106:
* Does all that suckage of phallic objects <ref> a pipe, three lightsabers, a lollipop, a banana and a joystick, in case you're wondering</ref> count? Because I say this as a gay troper, he looks like he knows what he's doing.
* And in yet another interview, he put his arm around the interviewer and got so very close to grabbing his balls before pulling away laughing.
* In his review of ''Breaking Dawn'', he off-handedly mentions that Jacob makes him hard.
* According to an amusing post on facebook, Doug was proposed to by a guy at a con and the reason he gave for declining was that the man didn't have a diamond ring.
* In the advertisement for the third DVD, Doug is shirtless, has apparently gone psychotic and kidnapped a guy who he thinks is pretty.
Line 129:
-
* Chester A. Bum's Youmacon video has a tease of an interesting variation on [[Screw Yourself]]. A convention goer cosplaying as Chester warns the real guy about yaoi anime, since "it's two boys together." A confused Chester replies "''We're'' two boys together."
** We also have [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924231508/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/bum-reviews/28742-hpdhpart1 Chester and Lester] [[Fake-Out Make-Out|making out]].
-
* In episode 5 of Masterpiece Fanfic Theater, Sage obsessively tracks down Linkara's meta-anime crossover fanfic (written when he was 13), and then ties him up and forces him to listen to his review of it.... while calling himself "the Hunter." Just a trace of [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]] there, Bennett, just a trace.
** "Watching a guy jerk-off would scar him for life? By that measure, I should be dead."
* Sage carries on the creepy with Critic in the ''Starchaser'' review, visibly getting off on scaring him and making him have a crying, screaming meltdown.
-
* Shameful Sequels: Son Of The Mask brings us [[No Yay|creepy]] [[Star BoardingStarboarding|one-sided]] MikeJ/Film Brain.
** Apparently, Film Brain tends to not be wearing clothes when he appears in [[Mike J]]'s dreams. And then the dream Film Brain starts stripping...
** And then in part 2 of that review.
{{quote| '''Film Brain''': You need to wake up!<br />
'''Mike J''': How?<br />
'''Film Brain''': Kiss me. }}
** [http://twitter.com/#!/FB_BMB/status/108554691205533696 I'd tongue you like you've never been tongued before. I'm more man than you can handle.]
** [http://twitter.com/#!/FB_BMB/status/109001754124890112 There's a controversy about the kiss between me and @TheOnlyMikeJ? The only controversy should be over how freaking hot that scene is.]
* From [[Phelous]] and [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]]'s review and Lockjaw, Film Brain suggests doing the review on the bed, but Phelous refuses. Poor Film Brain pouts and gives the bed a sad caress. He looked so dissapointed!
* In the [[Suburban Knights]] trailer, [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] threatens Luke Mochrie with "Mr. Critic is '''mine''', understand?" Wow.
-
* How about a meta example? [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924155243/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/the-sage/fanfic-theatre/13982-ep011 Remember the Slashy Extravaganza?] Benzaie drew [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=�ion=&q=insano+linkara#/d2e4llf Insano/Linkara and Nerd/Critic fanart], along with [[Yaoi Fangirl|his girlfriend]].
* ''[[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|Brad]] and Jerrid Watch The Room''
{{quote| '''Brad:''' I am not fucking your bellybutton.<br />
'''Jerrid:''' Come on, dude, we've gotta reenact this one.<br />
'''Brad:''' I am not ''fucking'' your bellybutton.<br />
'''Jerrid:''' Dude, I got the tub of butter right here; it'll go in real easy. }}
* How has nobody mentioned [[Lord Kat]] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130727064251/http://www.lordkat.com/strawberry-video.html strawberries]? ...[[Nightmare Fuel|shudder]]...
* If we count [[Twitter]] interactions, Scarlett is a goldmine for [[Les Yay]] with Nella and Iron Liz. The woman's brain is constantly on [[Double Entendre]]-mode.
* In [[Todd in Thethe Shadows]] Top Ten Pop Songs of 2010, he tries calling and confessing his love to Obscurus Lupa at the end of the video. However he winds up calling [[Lord Kat]], who thinks he's calling someone else. But THEN pulls out a bag of condoms telling him he'd be open if Todd was crushing on him.
* [[The Rap Critic]] and [[Todd in Thethe Shadows]] have gotten into a playful Twitter feud recently, where they insult each other by saying "Dude," and then linking [[YouTube]] clips; these end up serving as disses. (For example, [http://twitter.com/#!/andrejaxon/status/55799188792950784 this]) However, Rap Critic at one point came back with a [http://twitter.com/#!/andrejaxon/status/58336921474170880 tweet] that sounded oddly...romantic. He ''claims'' he posted the wrong video...
* In 'Brad and Phelan Try Grass Jelly', they try to find something to review. After trying to review the painting on the hotel wall, an iron, and a mirror, they are shown lying in bed side-by-side, with Brad remarking on the awkwardness and Phelan grinning.
** [http://i53.tinypic.com/23tnhgk.png He does look rather pleased with himself, doesn't he?]
