The Review Must Go On is what made me realize NC wasn't just a good Online Creator, he's a GREAT online creator. It made me want to make better stuff myself.
You know what Doug, I just got to say this... "Demo Reel wasn't bad" So what if it wasn't as popular as Nostalgia Critic. You tried something different at least, damn it!
been a massive fan of your work since around 2008. Thank you for 9 years of entertainment Doug. Hoping for many more reviews. I'm more than happy to say that you have helped shaping my view and love for movies, not to mention my own style of humor has undoubtably been shaped by you and many others. Thank you for sharing your creations!
fantastic review Critic, that was great except it should have ended with Doug editing the review and then pan out to douchey editing the review of the review and then paned out to see Phelous editing the review since he is all aboot meta humour, that would have steven spielberg levels amazing but this will suffice XD but seriously great video Doug, may the review go on.
This was a fun trip down memory lane, thanks for sticking around Doug! The Review Must Go On is one of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time. Anyway, bring on the Suicide Squad review!!!!!! :D
Well he just got his own studio, and he felt he was too restrained with NC, he wanted to take full advantage of the studio and all, and since NC was just him with a white wall, it wouldn't work. But after Demo Reel bombed and he had to face that he needed the NC again, he found a workarround by making the reviews more complex and making more skits to take advantage of the studio. I think its undestandable, he wanted to grow up and was misguided for a sec there, but he eventually found a better way while keeping his signature character.
Fanatic Fanatic the real irony is that his clip less videos where they recreate the films for their reviews are kind of a spiritual successor to Demo Reel. And they do extremely well.
But Demo Reel _has_ taken over NC. How many minutes did skits use to take up vs now? That's Doug trying to break out of NC and back into DR. He has to at least attempt at keeping it NC, at least at face value, otherwise he'd lose even more viewers, but he wants DR so badly it's almost palpable.
Doug, you're a nice guy. I'm sorry that things didn't go your way, being stuck in a character is tough but most people don't even get that, I think you're doing the right thing. Plus, I'm sure you're going to have a lot more chances to prove your talents in the future. You're awesome, keep it up! Regards.
Well, you should probably try making a few reviews of some sort, yourself. I'm currently working on my largest review production yet, and I've been slowly finding more people I can collaborate with!
you are an inspiration to me you are an inspiration to everybody everybody loves you here Doug and I got to say keep making the awesome videos keep being the Nostalgia Critic and I have to say I really do look up to you Doug and I told you in the review I told you in the interview I said what I watch movies I hear your voice in my head don't worry I would never murder anybody and say that you told me to do it though. I would never do something like that I'm too positive I just want let you know that Doug and your answer was really for me what you said to me I had a great time with the interview done thank you so much I just want your friends family interview it's my dream come true keep making the awesome videos
i just gotta give Doug a ton of props for how he's handled the reaction to demo reel. It was a project he was really excited for and it can't be easy to get such a negative reaction on something you love so much, but through it all he's managed to keep a good sense of humor about it. I've been an NC fan for almost a decade, and while there have been ups and downs with the sites, the content, and creators, Doug has really grown as an entertainer and as, i feel at least, a person. Sure i can say "give us the old NC!! We want the old style!!!!" and maybe he'll sprinkle in that style every once in a while. But even if he doesn't, i can fully appreciate what he's created for a decade now. He has given up countless hours of his life to bring us entertainment, and if that means sacrificing some formats in order for him to remain happy while doing it, then i say God bless him, the man works hard. I appreciate the hell out of you Doug, thanks for the years of laughs!
Draygone RPGMmag Remember that the clipless reviews started with Jurassic World as a way to get back at Hollywood for taking down his videos on the now defunct League of Super Critics youtube channel during 2014 to mid 2015!
Oh, man. I first discovered the NC the week he cancelled the show. I remember binging through all of his stuff in those six months, an after school tradition. And I still remember how damned excited I was when The Review Must Go On came out. I don't watch NC quite as much as I used to, but he will always have a special place in my heart. This review genuinely gave me nostalgia. Thanks, Doug.
I wasn't around when NC left and came back, but when I saw The Review Must Go On again recently, as someone who's created characters, I felt for Doug's passion and attachment for his character and wanting to come back. For the past two years I've known you guys, thanks for sticking around a while longer and giving me the chance to know and learn from you. Much love and keep reviewing!❤️
Following the premiere of "Demo Reel", its defenders would constantly say people just had to accept that "The Nostalgia Critic" was never coming back. When "Review Must Go On" happened, it was quite vindicating :).
I started watching you during the point that you stopped making Nostalgia Critic videos. It didn't take long before I went through your full catalog and was hooked. I'd re-watched some of my favourite reviews, but like a common junkie I wanted MORE! It took what felt like an eternity, but when you announced your return I was pumped. Haven't missed an episode since. I think you'd agree when I say you're the best UA-camr ever.
Following the Nostalgia's Critic since season 1, I was so sad when The Nostalgia Critic retired. 6 months later, the triumphant return made an average day great. Now I'm still watching The Nostalgia Critic on a weekly basis. Can't wait for the 10 year anniversary.
I unironically liked Demo Reel, but The Review Must Go On is one of the best things I have ever seen. I still remember how I excited I was when I first watched it.
I guess enough time has passed that we all can make fun of demo reel. it wasn't all bad bc it brought nc back better than ever and brought us rachel and Malcom.
This came out like a month after I moved from home. Big, .. nice suprise. I actually got pretty emotional watching this. I was deeply moved by NC return and this video. I was SO happy.
I'm so impressed he can be critical of his own work, but I LOVE the Review Must Go On. So well acted, directed, and written. It was funny, dramatic, and a bit egotistical but so amazing
I did legitimately shed a few tears when this little home movie came out. I looked forward to NC'S reviews for years every week, so when this came out I was just giddy.
I did really enjoy "The Review Must Go On" seeing a number of connections between it and at least a couple different episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation." It was very well made, edited, directed and everything. Just looked nice and meta layers work very nicely as well.
Thank you Doug, Rob,Tamara, Malcolm and the rest of the channel awesome team for bringing me some fantastic good times with the Nostalgia Critic show. Also a big thank you to The Angry Video Game Nerd, Angry Joe, Linkara, Black Nerd, Cinema Snob, Spoony, Scifi Guy, Honest trailers, and Nostalgia Chick. Everyone who's made a cameo appearance or helped with the reviews have been awesome. I love all the cool content you guys make and support all of these awesome folks. Hope to see some cool stuff in the future. Keep being awesome.
Review Bayformers: Age of Entertainment Extinction. You might be thinking ah want the Nostalgia Critic to suffer through this concentration camp for entertainment... but ah just want to see this masterpiece of boring shit getting *RIPPED APART* like Monica Bellucci's ass in Irreversible. Do it !!
I'd like to say that without the Critic, i wouldn't have gotten into movies. Thank you very much for the great effort you put into your work - it really helped me find myself.
I love that he can criticize him self so perfectly
well you are the best at judging you after all
‘Himself’ is one word.
@@PalmerDudeGamingChannel that's almost never the case
@@jus1332PSP so have I learned all these years later lol
@@PalmerDudeGamingChannel better late than never
Doug be careful, show too many clips of the Review Must Go On and the maker might give your channel a strike. #WTFU
Japeth321 hey japeth321 I love your body count videos
I saw that you had 15,999 subscribers so I fixed it. You're welcome 😉
why do I feel like this is the nostalgia critic version of "reacting to my old videos"
Because it is.
Best way to show your ego
This is so Meta Deadpool is blushing
to make it truly meta, phelous would have to review it. lol.

No matter what people say, I will always be glad that Doug returned to the Nostalgia Critic. Forever and always.
His review of Pink Floyd's The Wall; change my mind.
@@frosty.outcast yes, he did a bad review
doesn't erase all his other good reviews
@@p.a.4512 I agree that the good ones are his classic hits, there's a nostalgia factor to them and they always make me laugh.
Why?
@@p.a.4512 yes, also
This is the nostalgia of nostalgia critic
Kathleen Morris "The Review Must Go On" WAS the nostalgia of Nostalgia Critic. Now THIS review IS the nostalgia OF the nostalgia of Nostalgia Critic!
Check out the original video of The Review Must Go On here - ua-cam.com/video/CItRyDt6whs/v-deo.html
Suicide Squad next Wednesday, HYPE!
Channel Awesome wait are you using the old intro
Hey I just realized, mst of the Review Must Go On can be easily compared the Secret Window movie
Soooo...was this an anniversary thing, or...what? I'm confused.
I think this is from the previous season's DVD.
wowee
im both hyped and scared
hopefully nc isnt TOO critical about deadpool
Honestly NC this sketch right here Inspired me so much when I was starting out like that was Phenomenal, Still have it saved to my computer tbh
Ive been a fan of NC since 2009 dude haha
JaxBlade Right?! This showed me that just because this dude reviews movies does not mean he can't make a kick ass film!
Holy shit yeah! I've been a fan of him for just as long as you then! xD Love your vids too btw, great motivator for me to get back into shape :P
lol
thats pretty neat
"This calls for Pointless Sam Raimi Style Editing"
"NC: Groovy"
And that makes my day
The Review Must Go On is what made me realize NC wasn't just a good Online Creator, he's a GREAT online creator. It made me want to make better stuff myself.
only the nostalgia critic could bitch about his own movie. and meta comment about the mate review
yes
Hi Nostalgia Critic
Hey.
HI
how doug can accurately Critic himself is beyond me.
Apology accepted. Now where is that other guy who liked Demo Reel beside me ?
MajinPaul it took a while to grow on me but I ended up really liking Demo Real and it's characters, Karl and Quinn especially.
I kinda liked it.
I liked it, (But naturally preferred NC)
I was lucky enough to watch it, and watch new NC reviews, since I found NC when he did his Avatar review. So I have a more positive opinion for it.
I liked Demo Reel.
This is the Fourth Wall overload review.
LarsEMou99 Please. Phelous did a review of his own review. Now that's a meta overload.
There's no limit.
its like the fourth wall had another fourth wall having another fourth wall. you know... the twelft wall.
Christoph Bähr sweet Deadpool reference.
And Linkara's ontop of it.
Doug Walker is a better actor than most of the actors he reviews
You know what Doug, I just got to say this... "Demo Reel wasn't bad"
So what if it wasn't as popular as Nostalgia Critic. You tried something different at least, damn it!
Alec Daley yes, it wasn't that bad. It was worse.
fuck off it was fucking terrible
Yo' i heard you like meta with your meta, so we put meta on top of you meta so you can meta while you meta.
been a massive fan of your work since around 2008. Thank you for 9 years of entertainment Doug. Hoping for many more reviews. I'm more than happy to say that you have helped shaping my view and love for movies, not to mention my own style of humor has undoubtably been shaped by you and many others. Thank you for sharing your creations!
Doug reviews Doug being tormented by Doug.
This is some House of Leaves shit.
"Is that wall a different color?" "Show ruined" xD OMG loved that part.
Same here too hahahahahaha!!!!
But where's Bill...?
Did you even watch the video? It's obvious where Bill is.
This review was from 2015, Bill didn't exist yet
***** That's not true. Bill has been around for years.
Bill has always existed, and will always exist.
Washington, you take that heresy back!
I'LL GIVE THIS ALBUM REVIEW A FANTANO/10
This is the most surreal thing I've ever seen.
Beautiful too
"Still looks more realistic than Jurassic World." *slow claps* I will never unsubscribe.
I feel a group hug coming on! (The pure hatred I have for Jurassic World and it's slight against dinosaurs sustains my soul).
Fish Fish There is still hate for that movie?
Yes. By anti cgi edge lords who think anything cgi is bad in their god like eyes that sees flaws nobody else does. :)
Thomas Fernandez ye, it's getting a sequel. Don't sell a dinosaur movie and not include dinosaurs.
***** nope, jus calling out crappy graphics and terrible outdated designs. The stegosaurus in that movie used a 1930s design. That's just beyond lazy.
Such metaness. Much impressive.
wow you already reviewed all the movies now your reviewing your videos about movies that are saying that your reviewing movies.
again
He did review some of his older films, so...
This video is a couple years old actually, this is just an official upload
Yo dawg, I heard you like reviewing movies, so I put a review of your movie about movie reviews in your movie.
The ending of this review was existential as fuck!
I'M MARY POPPINS Y'ALL.
No, you're Zachary Kerman.
I see you both watched gardins of the galaxy 2
okay
Yes.
This gets funnier every time I hear it, and it also has less and less context every time.
fantastic review Critic, that was great except it should have ended with Doug editing the review and then pan out to douchey editing the review of the review and then paned out to see Phelous editing the review since he is all aboot meta humour, that would have steven spielberg levels amazing but this will suffice XD but seriously great video Doug, may the review go on.
Nostalgia Critic Junior hey dude your vids are funny, and would you and nostgia critic do a crossover.
This was a fun trip down memory lane, thanks for sticking around Doug! The Review Must Go On is one of my favorite UA-cam videos of all time. Anyway, bring on the Suicide Squad review!!!!!! :D
And Doug... thanks for remembering it so we don't have to ;)
What was he thinking when he thought Demo Reel would take over NC?
Here's what he was thinking:
"It worked for Be Kind Rewind.. Oh wait, what *is* Jack Black doing these days anyway?"
Well he just got his own studio, and he felt he was too restrained with NC, he wanted to take full advantage of the studio and all, and since NC was just him with a white wall, it wouldn't work. But after Demo Reel bombed and he had to face that he needed the NC again, he found a workarround by making the reviews more complex and making more skits to take advantage of the studio.
I think its undestandable, he wanted to grow up and was misguided for a sec there, but he eventually found a better way while keeping his signature character.

is it funny how NC reviews his OWN movie?

Doug, you're a nice guy. I'm sorry that things didn't go your way, being stuck in a character is tough but most people don't even get that, I think you're doing the right thing. Plus, I'm sure you're going to have a lot more chances to prove your talents in the future.

WANNA WORK WITH THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC
Well, you should probably try making a few reviews of some sort, yourself. I'm currently working on my largest review production yet, and I've been slowly finding more people I can collaborate with!
He should make a review of this review in 5 years time, and then a review of that review after another 5 years, and so on.
That's no moon that's the nostalgia critics ego
(Jk I absolutely love your videos keep up the good work)
you are an inspiration to me you are an inspiration to everybody everybody loves you here Doug and I got to say keep making the awesome videos keep being the Nostalgia Critic and I have to say I really do look up to you Doug and I told you in the review I told you in the interview I said what I watch movies I hear your voice in my head don't worry I would never murder anybody and say that you told me to do it though.

So I rewatched the Review Must Go On because I thought about it. And then on the side was this video, I'm now watching this. I'm here in May of 2021.
Hey Doug, can you review the "Movie" movies? You know the ones.
i just gotta give Doug a ton of props for how he's handled the reaction to demo reel. It was a project he was really excited for and it can't be easy to get such a negative reaction on something you love so much, but through it all he's managed to keep a good sense of humor about it.

DO THE NEW POWER RANGERS MOVIE ON NOSTALGIA CRITIC!!!!!
The entire episode is worth watching again just for Brad's perfect delivery
Yeah, whatever happened to that "no movies in theaters" rule?

Something tells me the comment section will be full of polite civil discussions...
“...mostly to those who miss Demo Reel. Sorry to both of you.”

No joke, but I honest to God thought that this was just a spinoff of your song from the Moulin Rouge review.
"I won't do anything currently in theaters."
Funniest joke Doug's ever told.
Oh critic, what's the meta with you. (*Laugh Track*)
Is it just me or is every nostalgia critic video amazing

This came out like a month after I moved from home. Big, .. nice suprise. I actually got pretty emotional watching this. I was deeply moved by NC return and this video. I was SO happy.

I feel like this should have been an April Fool's video but whatever still enjoyable
Metafiction goals. That ending really delivered.
The Review Must Go On! The Review Must Go Ooooooon! The Review Must Go On!
I was so happy when the review must go on came out. Nostalgia critic is my favorite thing to watch and has been for 8 years!
Hey I liked Demo Reel
I did legitimately shed a few tears when this little home movie came out. I looked forward to NC'S reviews for years every week, so when this came out I was just giddy.
When Nostalgia Critic runs out of movies so he just starts reviewing his own content....
This is 3 years old.
Would have been a nice touch if the credits came with the music from when Donnie becomes the Nostalgia Critic - the choral version.
"I guess all us white people look alike" ... What's the joke?
It's a common stereotype, but I'm sure you knew this.
"we return to the THRILLING continuation of guy staring at computer screen"
soo . . .a reaction channel then?
So I wonder if you can handle reviewing the teen titans go
(Insert galaxy sized jack danyel)
Do you want to give him a heart attack!? 0_0

NC is like figet spinners he never gets boring
I really love "The review must go on", I still have chills when Donny realize that he's the Nostalgia Critic
Those two people who miss Demo Reel are the biggest joke of all
Yes! I've been saying this for years - reviews need to be piled on top of each other. Finally someone makes a video about it.
IT'S EDGAR FUCKING WRIGHT!!!
The raptor was a missed opportunity though.
"Allen"
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks NC and his crew are a bit stuck up and pretentious.
Troy King i don't know about the crew but yeaaahhh a little bit pretentious lol
You can never have enough new and old nostalgia critiques from Nostalgia Critic! #AWSOME
I did like Demo Reel
I still really like The Review Must Go On. Hell I rewatch it every few months
Review Bayformers: Age of Entertainment Extinction. You might be thinking ah want the Nostalgia Critic to suffer through this concentration camp for entertainment... but ah just want to see this masterpiece of boring shit getting *RIPPED APART* like Monica Bellucci's ass in Irreversible. Do it !!
It's on Blockbuster Buster's channel.
I'd like to say that without the Critic, i wouldn't have gotten into movies. Thank you very much for the great effort you put into your work - it really helped me find myself.
