Shame about Doug losing his voice, but at least you were able to find a way around it. I’m a big Insano fan and would have liked to see what Doug had in mind, but I understand why you want and had to limit him. Anyway nice insight on the review. I think the commentary is a great idea, and I hope we’ll hear some from the recent crossover with Linkara.

Hey Noah, I don’t know if you will ever read this but I think it’s worth saying. You are way more entertaining and fun to watch then Nostalgia Critic and that other guy that just strings random curse words together about shit and piss to appeal to the minds of young teenage boys.
I don’t know why, you just have a certain comedic talent and personality that sits well with me and I think you deserve way more attention and popularity then you usually get.

Hot here in Chicago? When the hell were you here? Oh, and you’re right about the whole Willis Tower thing, it’s so BS.

i agree in some way with 102, it’s not that you’re better than NC or AVGN, but you do have a really strong input when it comes to… well, reviewing-bitching some bad movie or game, you speak loud and fast, like there’s not enough time in the vid to let you express how sucky it really is for example “I can’t believe how there’s not a single screen of this game which I can’t bitch about” (FFVIII), that’s really funny. So yeah I think the NC should’ve given you more creative freedom when reviewing this piece of shit movie.

Doug Walker (NC) and James Rowlfe (AVGN) are funny within their niche, but pull them out of it and they just fall flat. More so with James than Doug. I love all of Jame’s videos, where he truly shines are in his Cinnemassice videos where he’s legitimately educational about film. They aren’t funny, but they are awesome. Doug on the otherhand has some of the best comedy writing out there, it’s always spot on. And when he’s hiding behind his characters of The Bum (probably his funniest works), purposefully awkward That Guy With The Glasses and the titular Nostalgia Critic, he’s funny. But as Doug, his performances fall flat, almost as though he doesn’t know what his own stage presence is. Two years in a sketch or improv comedy troupe would fix that.

Noah, however, is just a prodigy. Not everything he does is golden, but he never posts anything that is completely unfunny, or like that one fellow from the roast the Necrocritic, antifunny. It may be that Noah has the presence of mind to recognize what’s not good and avoid posting it, and that alone puts him head and shoulder above most other internet comedians. One person on this site once commented that Noah has a Bill Hicks feel to his comedy. While I agree, my agreement is qualified. Noah has a similar energy as Bill, but he lacks the obvious demons that showed in Bill’s comedy. And in all honestly I pray that Noah never does. He’s hilarious enough as is without needing to talk about drug abuse and alcoholism.

… I don’t really know where I am going with this rant, all I do know is that Noah is my favorite funny person on the internet, and I am not wearing any pants.

I actually thought the computer voice was perfect for this review. I could full well see that somebody lost his voice after seeing this movie. So I actually thought you had planned this and Dougs voice was fine. Kudos too you guys.

to Sag Ichnet: I thought the exact same thing as you did. I was shocked to realize that Doug really lost his voice.(Sorry for the shitty spelling(i think I spelt something wrong).

Only two movies i seen from Owe apart from this one of course are Far cry and Postal.
I loved making fun of Far cry.
Also Postal was so crazy i liked it especially when the creator of Postal appears and tackles Owe for *ruining* the Postal movie lol :)

I really like crossovers, because, like many other fans I guess, it's good to see some real interactions and even friendship goin' on. It's more fun I think.
