The Nostalgia Chick/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

* [[Actor Shipping]]: Lindsay/Nella is quite popular, mostly for people who want unabashedly fluffy [[Ho Yay|Les Yay]] instead of abuse and fucked-upness.

** Even though he's engaged and she's dating Todd, Lindsay/Doug is also popular. The reason is basically the same - fluff and cuteness. And both of these are just for fun.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Is the Chick a hypocritical [[Know Nothing Know It All]] who abuses people constantly to make herself feel better and is just as messed up as the Critic, or an intelligent, calm [[Closer to Earth]] feminist? There are enough people who believe either choice.

* [[Arc Fatigue]]: To some fans (that being why it's on this page) "The Dark Nella Saga" just kept going and going and going... (Well, it ''is'' a [[Fridge Brilliance|saga]].) But the problem was probably less the length of the arc itself - seven episodes, probably edging on three hours, all told - and more how an arc that seemed like it would be played out over a few weeks took two and a half months to release.

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]:

Line 26:

** Her response to the guy in ''[[Showgirls]]'' saying his girlfriend is having a baby: "Why not just shove her down the stairs and hope for the best?"

* [[Discredited Meme]]: In her Villainesses countdown, the [[One Hundred and One Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]] have to stare at her sadly before she gives in and yells her "PUPPIES!" catchphrase. The [[Running Gag]] was put to death after that.

* [[Dude Not Funny]]: In her second "Thanks For The Feedback" video, she made a music video featuring [[Black Comedy Rape|a rap song about rape]]. The video was almost universally reviled as being in poor taste, and has since been taken down. Although not for that reason; [[Word of God]] says that she wasn't happy with the edit and didn't want it to be put up anyway.

Although not for that reason; [[Word of God]] says that she wasn't happy with the edit and didn't want it to be put up anyway.

** Yes, okay, [[Interquel|Interquels]] are pretty bad... but was it really necessary to compare the ''Enchanted Christmas'' movie to multiple holocausts?

** While the backlash was much bigger when the Critic made his joke, her comment about "autistic temper tantrums" got people rather angry.

Line 35:

** P-Cash was pretty much the only thing in the infamous "Rape Rap" video that got a consistently positive reaction.

** The [[Sex Bot]] went away for a long time, but was loved and now is in a lot more episodes.

** If the Nella & Elisa double-act keeps getting bigger, they could be a [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad]].

** If the Nella & Elisa double-act keeps getting bigger, they could be a [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]].

** Elisa has actually gotten her own show: Maven of the Eventide. She's come a long way from the Makeover Fairy.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: The Chick's [[Slasher Smile]] when she's being evil is both adorable and utterly terrifying.

Line 62:

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thedudette/specials/29963-gallery-of-ancient-horrors-aids-and-stds This video], which Lindsay originally made while in high school, involves (among other things) a giant stuffed bear with AIDS having an affair with a teenager. In other words, [[Memetic Molester|Pedobear]].

** In her early reviews, she liked making fun of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] between characters and how people seemed to think that was entertaining. She has a [[The Masochism Tango|Masochism Tango]]/[[Dating Catwoman]] thing with the Critic that's incredibly enjoyable for both us and them.

** In the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' review, her main beef was that the characters were deathly boring and had no conflict. The new [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|show]] has had each of the mane cast break down at least once.

** "And besides, who's going to be interested in a female character who's pretty shamelessly a knock-off of her already popular male counterpart?" Seeing how fricking huge the character sheet is, evidently quite a lot of people.

** She introduced a character named "Lord [[MacGuffin]]". In Pixar's ''[[Brave (Animation)|Brave]]''...

Line 68:

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Nella, especially in the ''[[Grease]]'' review. Many [[Comically Missing the Point|Comically Missed the Point]] and treated her like a [[The Woobie|woobie]], not listening to the fact that Nella wrote that sideplot ''herself'' and is perfectly happy with her appearance.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Actually a Les Yay with BFF Nella:

{{quote| '''Nella:''' [Suggesting the Chick dates the Critic] I think you should go out ... of this apartment ... Away from me ... People are starting to talk. The [[Fun T Shirt|shirts]] don't help.<br />

{{quote| '''Nella:''' [Suggesting the Chick dates the Critic] I think you should go out ... of this apartment ... Away from me ... People are starting to talk. The [[Fun T-Shirt|shirts]] don't help.<br />

[The shirts read [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzhB0gF5GTI&NR=1 "Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take?"] on Nella and "I (heart) my ([[Lampshaded Double Entendre|"kitten"]]) on the Chick.] }}

** [[That Guy With the Glasses (Website)/Ho Yay|There's far more instances of this at the TGTWTG Ho Yay page]]. Particularly worthy of mention is the Chick and Nella re-enacting the Benn Affleck/Liv Tyler "animal crackers" scene from ''[[Armageddon]]''.

Line 97:

* [[Reviews Are the Gospel]]: Tends to be the case for her male viewers when she trashes a girly film.

* [[Rewatch Bonus]]: You'll be surprised to see just how many moments in the earlier reviews that seemed like a prototype of the messed up, trying-to-be-sane-but-failing [[Psychopathic Manchild|Psychopathic Womanchild]] character we have today.

* [[He Panned It Now He Sucks|She Panned It, Now She Sucks]]: She pissed off quite a few people with her negative review of ''[[Dune]]''.

* [[He Panned It, Now He Sucks|She Panned It, Now She Sucks]]: She pissed off quite a few people with her negative review of ''[[Dune]]''.

** So did her review of the ''[[Transformers]]'' franchise. In a self-parody, [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] bitched at her for that one too.

** Inevitably, fans of the ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'' weren't too keen on her hate for it.

Line 110:

** Really, the Chick is subject to this far more often than the Critic, since she tends to review films that are usually rather well-liked, such as... Well, ''[[Mulan]]'', ''[[Hercules (Disney)|Hercules]]'' and ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'', while the Critic reviews, well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxHNztg0X3s This]. She explains this in the ''Worst Witch'' review, as people tend to be more forgiving towards the popular films rather the obscure.

** Many fans of ''Jem'' were very angry at Lindsy for her panning the series, the biggest complaint came from her not even bothering to watch the series entirely before she reviewed it.

** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small [[Take That]] to [[~~Liloand~~ Stitch (Disney)|Liloand Stitch]] as [[They Just Didn't Care|"Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it"]] as [[The Lion King (Disney)|The Lion King]] in her review of The Lion King.

** Although she didn't actually REVIEW it, she put a small [[Take That]] to [[Lilo and Stitch (Disney)|Liloand Stitch]] as [[They Just Didn't Care|"Slapped together garbage" that "didn't have as much passion put into it"]] as [[The Lion King (Disney)|The Lion King]] in her review of The Lion King.

* [[He Really Can Act (Sugar Wiki)|She Really Can Act]]: Nella in the Dark Nella Saga. Funny, genuinely scary and able to go to between "a quasi-demonic force of evil" and her usual fangirly self.

* [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad]]: Nella and Elisa have gained more prominence in her newer reviews.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Nella and Elisa have gained more prominence in her newer reviews.

* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Well, maybe [[Todd in The Shadows (Web Video)|Todd in The Shadows]] could stand to wear something brighter...

* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)/Tear Jerker|Here.]]
