Just went to the wikipedia page for Molossia and it recognizes that it was the Dictatorship of Kickassia for two days of its existence.
Say what you will about the film, but Doug Walker is the only UA-camr to have successfully launched an invasion of a neighboring country.
It's like watching Hollywood in fast forward: dreamers who became a business who became a syndicate and a clique who became has-beens barely remembered.
Don’t forget the grooming swept under the rug, then again I guess jewwario never won a fucking oscar while on the run
Say what you will, the image of Lindsay Ellis whining incoherently about "coffee" while Douglas stares in utter confusion before ignoring her will always be comedy gold.
I'd have alcohol problems too if I was a part of Channel Awesome. I was at the right age if I decided to make content back then. Thank God I waited.
Anything that shits on a woman who made a virtue signaling vanity film about killing her child is pretty damn funny.
@@raycerx87No, you wouldn't. And I'm pretty sure Lindsay's reason to heavily drinking was not something like working with Channel Awesome. You're undermining her real issues.
@@redacted2275 maybe you're right and that was insensitive of me to say for a "joke". Nice profile pic, btw. New Order is good.
Wait, was this in Kickassia? I don't remember it at all
The rape rap became a Chris Chan biography.
that would make Geno's life a lot easier
It's fascinating to see these old critics back in their prime when each of them at least had a semblance of popularity. While some of them were able to survive and even thrive in current UA-cam, others just washed up. It's almost sad. Then, you remember how plenty of them were batshit insane.
They really were the weird kids at the back of the classroom you tried to talk to once out of sympathy but instantly regretted it.
You know, I never heard of any of these other content creators and critics until I first saw Kickassia. I didn't know who JewWario was or MarsGirl or Spoony, Film Brain, etc, I never heard of any of them. The only ones I knew about were Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob.
@@seth5143the irony in that statement is that Doug was the teacher at the front of that room
The only one that has no presence left that I kind of miss is Spoony. For all his many, many, maaaany faults (and now deserved lolcow status), many of his early videos and rifftrack-like playthroughs were genuinely very funny. I just wish he had sorted his physical and mental health out before it got too far; and didn't act like an intolerable douchebag all the time. I think there'd still be a place for him in today's UA-cam had he cleaned up his act and evolved with the times.
Ah well...
@@RenegadeVile Spoony was the only one out of all these creators that I actually thought was funny.
Kickassia is what Apocalypse now wished it could be
just gonna say that probably all of the high ups in Channel Awesome are more moral than Francis Ford Coppola
Kickassalypse Now: Starring Martin Sheen as Doug Walker, Lawrence Fishburne as Spoony, Robert Duvall as Angry Joe and Marlon Brando as Lindsay Ellis
2005: "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!"
2022: "It's over Lindsey, I have the rape rap!"
That Sarah Palin impression was so bad that I had no idea she was even doing one.
This is the greatest reward for completing no Nostalgia Critic November ,thank you Loli.
Indeed, no greater reward, I can finally Nostalgia all over the place.
Thick ropey strands of nostalgia
To say Nostalgia Critic/Channel Awesome defined a generation would be an understatement.
Quinton Reviews exists only because of Nostalgia Critic
@@parrygod2926 well nothing’s perfect…….
It's the reason Russia invaded Ukraine
@@parrygod2926 He never said the generation was good.
Channel Awesome Ruined an Entire Generation of Critics (and Writers)
The Avgn/Critic collabs were glorious at the time. Legit had fan meetups. The glory days...
Before google bought youtube. Everything was different back then.
I distinctly remember Doug making a joke in one of his NC Fuck Up videos about his nitpicker character being attracted to the green M&M. Since the Metokur video, I've wondered if that was Doug making an underhanded dig at his friend and colleague.
Ain’t it kinda weird how the Channel Awesome document cycle kinda mirrored the whole KickVic situation? Actual serious allegations gets mixed up with far pettier shit and the whole thing starts to feel like it was just made to ruin the career of someone over office drama?
Everything Marzgurl touches turns to poison I swear
It was made because Doug had enough of Lupa and fired her.
what happened with Marzgurl?
@@MrChickennugget360 Still trying to capitalize off of KickVic.
@@ghostfear2011 was she the one that got Spoony cancelled?
@@MrChickennugget360 no that was Obscurus Lupa who tried to do that for an edgy, and stupid joke directed at JesuOtaku that Spoony made.
Reminder that the creator of infamous ChangeTheChannel document is directly linked to Spoony getting fired from the site (arguable with his meltdown) with the second biggest contributor to it being someone who started KickVic and is a friend of Monica Rial.
Holy fuck, how deep is this?
Is there an issue with Spoony being fired though? Dude was super toxic
Vic is a legit predator, while Spoony screwed himself.
@@TimTE01 Vic is a predator?
@@TimTE01 No Vic is not a predator.
Ah yes, JewWario, the man who cosplayed as Jotaro so much he thought Star Platinum would catch the bullet.
Oof.
Damn Kris
Holy shit
Damn
Hahaha hahahaha hahahaha
gotta love when "verified document" turns out to be a big fat lie
That first crossover with the AVGN is kinda cringy by today's standards, that's a given, but it's the fun kind of cringe. It's like getting overly serious with your buddies in laser tag, or roleplaying in general.
...
Boy did it stop being fun after that.
What a day to see, Almightyloli covering Channel Awesome with Appabend as a source.
This is not a coverage I'd even dream of happened. Yet it did. Wow.
The perfect movie, revolutionised Hollywood and frankly changed the medium of cinema forever.
When Doug overthrew the government and executed Mollosian civilians you could really see the beginning of the descent of his character as he slowly gave into paranoia and fear of being overthrown, ironically sealing his own fate. Yet those who sought to overthrow him were even more radical and worse then Doug himself, eventually coming to the conclusion that the only reasonable solution was the restoration of the previous regime as it was clear that none of the revolutionary radicals could hold power.
@@lil-_s_t_e_a_m_y6385 Where are the children, Wario?
At least it was done in the early 2010s but nowadays we have RDC World and batsun Others make a way better version crossover.
Reminds me of the music video to a song Tim Pool made
Time to grab a bowl of green m&ms.
Oh man, seeing Spoony back when he was still funny.... that gets to me more than it probably should.
Man, he fell off hard. If he hadn't fallen into a drunken depression and pushed away his fans through a lack of content and constant vitriol, his channel would be huge today. Shame because his older videos are still quite good.
@@brasteen1 I really do wish he does get better and pulls himself out of the darkness. I think a good start to that is getting the fuck off Twitter.
@Shatterstar Oh definitely. Twitter is brain rot personified.
@@Shatterstar Despite my political beliefs differ, I fucking agree. I stopped going on Twitter because I literally had a job and responsibilities and holy fuck I felt much better. I actually am dieting and taking care of myself.
@@Shatterstar He's returned to Live Wire and seems to be better.
If you think about it, Linkara was right to think Kickassia would make him a mainstream star.
With all his bizarre fetishes, he'd fit right in in Hollywood.
The thing with Lewis is that he's just too negative and insufferable at the end of the day. I can ignore his weird fetishes if he could stop taking it too seriously for once in his life. He takes his reviews too seriously as well.
But it doesn't say "pedophile" anywhere.
Honestly, I think it's funny the guy mentioned "feet" when it's clearly the least strange out of them all.
Unless you want to explain to me how muppet p0rn is somehow less weird than a normal part of the body. :p
Probably my biggest strike against Doug is at a technical level. Even as his videos have gotten more ambitious, he has consistently refused to improve his production quality. Fifteen years and the only thing that has changed is the number of pixels in his camera. His _Pink Floyd: The Wall_ review, in spite of the resources that went into it, is still on the level of his work from ten years earlier.
By contrast, look to JonTron. Comparing his earlier work to his current work, it’s night and day. He started with the same setup, just a guy in his house with whatever he happened to have, to a proper set, with professional grade camerawork, sound and lightning, the effort is obvious, sometimes he’ll build unique setups just for the sake of a ten second joke (like the bathtub bit in his _Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf_ review).
One would think as much money he has made over the years, he would using more of the profits to make his videos look less cheesy.
@@PoliticalAbstract Honestly the impression I get is he doesn’t care enough to
for real, modern Jontron looks like a legit tv show and IMO he hasn't lost his touch
_Oh_ my _God!_ Issa wehrwulf onna _dawhlee!_ :D
Even old Jontron effects and skits look better than modern Nostalgia Critic, minus aspect ratio
The mission... The nightmares.... They're not over....
We were trained for this and by god we will survive
I remember watching the VODs of the streams for these. Oh boy, those were wild.
Legend tells they are still in the cycle God trapped them in.
The constant Jewario jokes were the best part
Shota’s little suitcase nuke rant in To Boldy Flee is something I’ll never forget.
That, and his unfortunate discovery involving Sphere Hunter. 😂 Just a massive disappointment of a stream for everyone.
The horror when the boys realized JesuOtaku was playing Radical Edward was something to behold.
I was almost in Kickassia
I drew RolloT's titlecards, and still do on occasion for his podcast now and I lived in NorCal at the time. I was reached out to by someomeone (maybe Holly? I dont remember) about possibly showing up as an Extra for the movie only to be told a few days before filming that the weren't going to need as many extras as they planned.
I loved Channel Awesome back in the day. Loved their content, felt like they had good harmony, and interesting insight. Then they went woke, scandal ridden, and lost the point. I'll cherish the memories, but I've moved on.
It's fun to find Phelan in the background of group shots looking completely checked out
Holy shit, Loli has the rape rap? That thing has been a legend to me ever since Metokur referenced it existing.
The 5th seal has been broken
You must not have seen the last of those videos when Jim showed it.
Mister Metokur showed it off years ago
@@Poet482 I thought he only played an approximate rendition of it.
@@sylonogwailou
He did in the second-to-last video in the tgwtg series, but someone gave him the full video for the FINALE video. Watch that FINALE video. It has most of the retarded shit these people do in it.
Hey a pizza guy got traumatized for this
“TURN THE FUCKING DOOR”
TURN THE FUCKING DOOR
He knew what he signed up for
You know there really was a charm in early Doug Walker content. Like it's cringe but it was cringe in the same way a video you made during highschool was cringe. Nowadays Doug is just going through the motion because this is all he can do.
I personally can't hate Doug's old videos. They may not have much for a modern viewer, but I dunno, there's something comfortable and ... er, nostalgic about them nowadays. Back when it was just Doug, his brother Robin doing writing behind the scenes, and a well-lit wall somewhere in his house.
Once it turned into a business and he had actors/actresses in skits, it went downhill very fast.
Seeing all the critics like Linkara, BennettTheSage, Nostalgia Chick, and the rest of them together makes me sit back and think, “Wow…..all of these guys lost their relevance now….except Brad. He’s still good.”
Such a different time, when they were all big names.
@@jackdaone6469 did Bennet have anything to do with the bullshit? He still makes videos
@@BAGELMENSK He seems to generally remain away from bullshit, even in his twitter he doesn't talk about much other than his channel's content and his new married life.
@@goukeban6197 well good for him I guess I thought his content was okay except he tended to misunderstand the stuff he was reviewing alot
I feel like the only reason half of them are relevant is because of some sorta controversy like Lindsey being turned on by her audience and Linkara getting kicked out of a trump rally and not getting his jacket back.
There’s a road pathed with good intentions.
Wonder where it leads…
🎩
🐍 no step on Snek! 🇺🇸🇭🇰
So weird to see Angry Joe with only 2 chins instead of 4.
It’s just as Metokur prophesied. His transformation into Donut Drake is complete!
This is quite the blessing after a whole month of No Nostalgia Critic November.
November?
Personally Suburban Knights was mostly mid, To Boldly Flee is the real Cthulhu-tier mind-shattering horror. Also, you still owe us you and Shota suffering through the Linkara Movie.
Oh god. Feels like ages since I have remembered Channel Awesome, let alone Nostalgia Critic
The Linkara portion of Metokurs TGWG series was better than anything LInkara himself has produced.
Surely you are forgetting the masterpiece known as The Lightbringer webcomic.
Hmmmmmmmm?
don't you disrespect the lightbringer
There's still novelty with Kickassia. As a kid, it was legitimately cool when all these critics got together to make a "movie." Nobody on the planet knew who everyone was because there were so many people, but I think I got into a few of them because of it. Film Brain is actually a decent and articulate critic. He recently did a retrospective on Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and it's probably his best work.
Kickassia was also before all the drama and backstabbing. Sad state of affairs today, but I can watch parts of Kickassia (I'm probably never gonna watch it in full ever again because it is a piece of shit) and go back to ignorant bliss, if only for a moment. Nowadays, you could pluck any random person from the cast and there's a 99% chance they're an unironically bad person.
Agreed. Despite it not being a well-made movie and having a lot of dated or “cringe” stuff in it, there is a genuine charm to it that I don’t think the other TGWTG movies that followed had. I definitely feel like the comradery and chemistry between the members of the site is still genuine in it, like it was this project that they all had fun making as a group despite all of the grievances with the production. By the time Suburban Knights and ESPECIALLY To Boldly Flee were coming out, it was feeling a lot more forced, with a lot of the site members having drama behind the scenes by then. I could be reading into it too much, but that’s just the energy I get when watching the screen. Despite it decidedly NOT being an actual good film and only a minority of the jokes really working, it feels kinda charming, novel, and fun.
It also REALLY helps that the entire movie is a joke and doesn’t try to take its plot or “lore” seriously and add elements of melodrama with poor acting like the following movies did.
Brad is still a good dude. He reviews some messed up stuff but he has an impeccable record to his character.
Filmbraaaaaaaain.
Kickassia is an adaptation of Lord of the Flies, you can't convince me otherwise.
I geniuinely believe you are correct.
More like an unofficial sequel to Lord of the Flies.
Mick saying Chris and Corey have brain damage for liking Kickassia forever lives rent-free in my head. Also, Spooney's Counter Monkeys is actually a good show.
That was Jeff.
Jeff is more of an angry joe guy to be fair
I remember watching back in the day. Big ups to Doug for being cool with OneyNG's jokes.
I used to give them a pass because i thought these movies were stupid but they at least had fun making them
Shame it seems they didn't
Same thing with linkara's "storyline", he took it way to serious
6:34 Yeah. My biggest issue with the document was (besides just about everything Lindsey wrote) was Marzgurls complaint about the costume she had to make in TBF. She most certainly was right to ask for compensation for the time and work put into it. This is something she should have negotiated beforehand.
But if she wanted compensation for the materials, then CA most certainly had the right to ask for the costume.
I think I can sum up some of the Channel Awesome guys in my own words:
- Nostalgia Critic: The guy who seems nice but tries too hard to be funny.
- Linkara: The guy who claims he’s a male feminist to hide the fact he’s a hypocritical weirdo.
- Cinema Snob: The easy going guy that everyone still loves.
- BennettTheSage: The guy who acted like a contrarian snob who thinks he knows better but didn’t know what he was talking about and fails to clean up his image cuz he doesn’t admit his mistakes.
- Angry Joe: The guy who just gets mad for no reason nowadays and ends up saying stupid shit.
- JewWario: The dead pedophile.
- Spoony: The guy who tries to fix his depression with alcohol.
- Nostalgia Chick: The woman.
There's also a LOT of other shit with Spoony where he might of had a sexual relationship with one of the other creators who then got pregnant and had an abortion and that also sent him down a dark path and also other things about his problems with living with his brother, moving to Chicago and then moving back to Arizona, a whole lot of shit
The next video about Suburban Knight debunks Jew Wario as a pedo...still a weirdo though but apparently all the shit about him being a pedo was a lie
@@Excalibur01 Jesus Christ.
@@ChandlerVanFossen I'll give you three guesses as to who killed the Spoonatic's child. :)
Legend says she hopped on a few of the obvious stud stable that was Channel Awesome.
@@jeremycarnes1656 wasnt the kid todd's?
Why are you so good at making trailers, and why haven’t you been hired to make them for actual movies, shows, and games?
To show he’s better off without the industry
23:34 Lmao, I knew Brad was the voice of reason. He really does seem like the only one that had legit self-awareness all the way through every movie and incident.
26:26 That president guy was the best part of the film though. IMO the gag of him being 'not the president' seemed amusing to me. Funnier than the others at least and that guy isn't a 'professional comedian' like they were.
Loli: "we're going to review Kickassia and channel awesome"
Me: "hold up I need lock up anything I could use to hurt myself"
I don't know how Santa Christ coming back to life after three days ruins the joke. It's obviously a reference to Jesus Christ's resurrection in the Bible. Probably it's meant to highlight the pointlessness of the previous sequence since if he can only come back in three days like Jesus, then "We believe in Santa Christ" was never going to work to begin with.
6:07 Pov: You’re the shotgun
Reading that google document, it's hard to tell what's real and what was made up or exaggerated to provoke sympathy in the readers. Especially when I realised it was written by many of the drama starters and general bad people of TWTG. The truth I reckon, is that NO ONE was an okay person in that group. Apart from Brad. Cinema Snob seems alright and just trying to cope with all this BS.
Nostalgia Critic is the guy who reawakened my love of Cinema. Love that guy.
I'm not gonna lie. It was Doug walker, Angry Joe and some non-CA youtubers that got me into video creation
You created video? What kind? Film? wav? Mp4?
I've always thought that with some of the complaints the creators on Channel Awesome had why didn't some of them just cut their losses and leave sooner than later? Or keep sticking around being abused? Some of it definitely doesn't add up.
Mostly cause they knew that the site actually gave them good money and really helped them out at the end of the day haha. There's a reason why they ignored the JW situation. But the moment when the cash starts burning their way. They start shouting out problems. Everyone is terrible in these kind of incidents.
Spoony will always have a special place in my heart. He was too good for these people.
Yeah I felt bad for him
I was a Machinima kid growing up, so I was more or less on the other side of the internet while all the Channel awesome stuff went down. Now, learning about the Channel Awesome stories as an adult, I feel like a nosy neighbor peeking over the backyard fence just to find the family next door had been murdered years ago without me noticing. The strangest part is that they weren't killed by an intruder or anything, evidently they all killed each other.
Oh god, I still remember the streams when they watched the movies. Please, loli, stop hurting yourself like this…
The persona soundtrack in the background is top tier
*NEXT REVIEW IN: 6 DAYS*
*Objective: Steal Doug's heart*
Damn ... listening to Loli explain to the kiddos who the Nostalgia Critic is (as someone who used to like NC's reviews when I was younger, though I'll admit Walker's format didn't get old as fast as Rolfe's) really makes me feel old. I can feel the lines on my face grow deeper. Somewhere on my head, liver-spots are developing.
It’s okay. I’m older than Doug and James. I’m sure new grays popped up while watching this.
let us all bow our heads in remembrance of the short period in which marzgurl was vaguely marragieable
I love these movies Channel Awesome made, and i watched reviewers like Spoony and Doug and AVGN, who i watched a boat load of.
edit - I also saw an interview of Spoony from the channel, Conversations with Curtis, the lead actor, Paul Morgan Stetler from the game Phantasmagoria 2, doing the interview. Spoony seems to be in better health and back on his meds.
Holy shit, you’re amazing for reviewing this. I’ve been tempted to show these to my fiancé who’s never even heard of Channel Awesome, just to see if she still shows up at the alter in spite of the experience.
hows the gym going?
@@iMORTIsieteVOi I agree!
16:10 "He heard every word of that, you fcking asshole!"
I laughed too.
FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO GETS IT!
As someone who is a second generation reviewer taking from the CA days like Bobshaux, I still follow the NC/CA style of reviews. Many say its a dead genre per say, but I think it can still be viable for internet culture. If anything the genre and style can be done, but learn from the flaws of the past. I follow lore that picks up from the CA story and movies. Pretty much what Linkara does because it's a story I have passion and heart to tell. If CA was the original Star Trek, my show is Star Trek TNG.
As for the controversy, I'm glad to see your opinion on it be fair, honest and open minded. Despite the legit issues, what it comes down to is they were ammature and young and when you're young you do stupid shit. I made my first feature around the same time Kickassia and Suburban Knights came out and it was a real learning curve in what I do now.
This comment is a little too much me ngl, but this video was fun, informative and fairly opinionated. Well done. You earned a new sub.
The Board James cameo made Risk look simple. That's how talented James Rolfe is.
Lindsay Ellis used to annoy the crap out of me in those old Nostalgia Critic reviews but Tamara Chambers was not a good replacement either.
What did Tamara do?
Man, the moment Film Brain was mentioned to be British I remembered about RoosterTeeth and their fall.
PLEASE tell me you're going to eventually go over Doug's 'review' of Pink Floyd's The Wall. That fucking thing was a absolute fucking disaster.
I enjoyed watching CA back then. Doug and Spoony really captured a cadence in their videos with summary - skit - review - summary that made them great for listening while you were working on something else.
I was probably a couple of years too old to appreciate this when it came out, but this looks like a peak representation of the "lol so random" era of the internet.
I don't think Doug doesn't care but he is incompetent & doesn't listen to criticism enough. He really really should not have gone down the skit recreation route for reviewing movies. But he only doubled down on it despite it being universally hated. Yet somehow he's still failing upwards off of meme factor.
Seeing a healthy spoony is weird. Last I really kept track of his ass was okay it’s the down the rabbit hole video on him. Great video. I didn’t even know these guys made a couple movies.
AlmightyLoli: "If you don't buy my T-shirt I'll poison your dog."
*Flashes JoJo Part 8 Rock Dog*
He didn't pass up on the JoJoke. Beautiful.
I don't think the issue with Doug is that he doesn't care, it's that he just generally fails to understand or analyze context. If you've seen any of his video essays, you know what I'm talking about - they read like remedial English essays written by a high schooler - the man just doesn't really have the drive to go deeper than surface level, and when he does it's usually laughable. No, he's not a bad guy, but by and large he's incompetent when it comes to filmmaking and media analysis.
Are you talking about his editorials?
Great, he ha that in Common with almost every other youtube essay channel
Suburban Knights is next, it is a titan compared to this, but when it is finished, your struggle will not be over. You will swear it to be a summer's breeze when you arrive at what is after.
I still visit the saga on occasion. Those early streams were a trip. I still think they’re a dream on occasion.
I've actually been rewatching some of his earlier stuff and mildly enjoying it, so help me God
NGL that speech you gave at 16:18 was low-key inspiring despite it being for comedic purposes. Well done Loli, well done.
Something that could have possibly worked is going the Roger route from American dad where the president had a different disguise for interacting with different people and everyone had the one disguise they couldn't see through which is actually something that happens in an episode of American dad
I’ll be curious to see how much Loli will continue to go into regarding the situation with Channel Awesome: what he’ll cover, whether or not it was true, and so on, and how it may tie into the movies.
I haven’t done as much homework on the NotSoAwesome Doc, so I wasn’t aware how much of it was falsified, but I always did think it strange to put in really petty things alongside serious sexual allegations. Really deludes the intensity of the JewWario stuff, and overblown the he said/she said shit. I’m pretty sure I already now what stuff isn’t true, but it’s interesting to hear people talk about all the same.
Yeah, I will admit, I believed a lot of the listed allegations, but I did have a suspicious feeling when I saw Lindsay's excuses for Olson's CP in that document.
@@jackdaone6469 She tried to excuse it? Now this I gotta hear.
Oh hey, I remember your live stream watching this movie. I was a good history lesson of some internet personalities I've yet to see.
I remember change the channel as Mike and Rob being outed as incompetent
I unironically love the anniversary trilogy. Everything that's shitty about the movies is what makes me enjoy them.
The fact she made that rap is still wild ☠️
Doug always has seemed like a genuinely nice guy overall, and the dude is full of zany energy possibly at all times much like how Steve-O used to display. I agree about his style of humor, though, he just seemed to really settle in to the structure of set-up/punchline that has became what most people imagine when hearing the name Nostalgia Critic. So people could be forgiven for not remembering some of his other abilities as an old G like myself does who spent the early-to-mid 2010's watching NC. For example, he actually can be guilty of saying some funny shit! Also, he has always had some fantastic insights into movies that a few of could be quite brilliant depending on who you ask. I remember back when that one movie had just released with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence where they got up to romantic hi-jinks or so the filmmakers so desperately wanted people to believe. Long story short, Doug was one of the first, if not the very first, critic to explain why he thought the movie could have been incredible had it been edited with the goal of making a horror film.
Anyway, didn't mean to go on too much here as if I'm sucking the guy off. I think I just sorta had a reaction to all the NC/Doug negativity that went on for a couple years that doesn't seem all that long ago, where I had grown tired of NC content yet felt people were just going way too hard in a lot of ways that compelled me to try finding the nuance that was so obviously being left out. In particular I recall when NC posted their review of Pink Floyd's The Wall and the resulting podcast travesty from Jar Media (podcast from I Hate Everything and crew) that featured 4 or so gentlemen being so offended they spent at least 2 hours crying directly into tampons to illustrate the point. Those guys can be funny so it was weird to see, felt like I was witnessing interviews given by r-pe victims to spread awareness.
Now it strikes me - is the guy in rape rap trying to play Linkara ?
13:39 Genuinely Doug walker’s videos on the Mask comic and the super mario adventures comic were pretty good.
You either grow up on Doug Walker or AngryJoe. We don’t talk about the kids raised on Linkara.
God this shit takes me back to your first ever streams. Great and agonizing times.
How many times do I have to ask you what your iFunny is?
The Disco Elysium soundtrack in the background caught me off guard but was nice to hear
Man I can't wait to see you talk about the 4th anniversary special.
dear god, Linkara's streams are the gift that keeps on giving
Man you finished that editing it pretty quick GG
yes, first I clicked on the video
Then I was asking myself if I should rather run
You got me there.
P.S seeing spoony always breaks my heart. Depression is a beast that shouldn't be underestimated
Now review the linkara movie
It’ll be out when it’s out. And we like that.
This has to be the best Christmas Present I never knew I wanted xDD
i was there, long ago. during those accursed streams. god be with this december, Loli.
