    Great episode!

  • Duffman180

    As usual the NC delivers a great episode and Spoony is once again hilarious. Good stuff all around.

    Great job Spoony your cameos are always awesome XD

    Spoony, I believe you stole this episode, great job!

  • edge4552

    Spoony you totally killed it in that cameo, but I guess thats to be expected you always do

  • The_Shift

    The Spoon, The Critic, and The Worst Movie Ever,

    SpoonyOne
    I think my soul exploded
    Great performance

  • RPGaholic

    As some have said in TGWTG's site's comments to the video, you were a better Turl (or is it Terl?) than John Travolta. Thank you for making me laugh hard.

    This was pretty sexy

  • http://twitter.com/YigSnakeDaddy Paul K

    Been quite underwhelmed by NC.
    It didn't feel that special and frankly, he's been in a phase of yay or meh lately. Too bad his 100th episode had to be meh.

  • rosenrot234

    id rather watch the spoony version of the turl (or terl whatever) alien then Travoltas. its cool to see NC put you in the special 100th episode. seems like a high honor anyway ^^;

  • Random_Ninja_5

    Spoonyvolta for the win! Awesome costume! I've been wondering where my gloves went. Seriously I have those exact same gloves. But that's not important. What is IS that Spoony is awesome and It is soo cool that you were in the Nostalgia Critic's 100th. Too bad we won't be seeing any more of Terl Spoony. (tear) He's ACTING! I love it. I watched it over again just to see that hilarious yet accurate portrayal of Travolta in this movie. I love the cross-overs and such. I re-watch them all the time. Its fun to watch Spoony and the others join forces for the good of mankind. Keep up the funny :)

    • http://twitter.com/rubydynamite Ruby Dynamite

      Have to agree — the collaborations/crossovers are some of my most favorite Spoony (and TGWTG) eps!

  • http://twitter.com/kyllok kurtis

    Oh my god! I just had a laugh-gasm. This episode was SO worth waiting for! and Spoony's inclusion was definitely a major bonus! Thank you guys so much for consistently allowing all us sycophantic lowly wretches to bask in your awesomeness! My hat's off to ya

    this movie was soo bad, you jsut had to remind me that i liked this movie once :/

  • http://www.facebook.com/Treima Jimi Alexander

    I loved it. You kinda look like a dreadlocked Hugh Laurie, though…

  • CalebTheTimeTraveler

    I see the Mu-machu made it's return.
    That's cool.
    I hope you're foot is better though, couldn't tell with the camera at the tilt.

  • thatdoucheandrew

    Let's be honest, when Spoony popped up in this review we all came a little. Or maybe it was just me. I love how Spoony's out acted all the real “actors” from the actually movie, somone needs to give the man a TV show or something.

    • Anonymous

      Not just a little. :DDDD

  • Poipoi

    You did a great role. Looked like you were having too much fun at it.

  • http://twitter.com/KatKaleen KatKaleen

    I really like this review and your cameo was a lot of fun.
    When the NC talked about communicating with his dog and said “Think of the things we could learn!” I expected a voice from the ground: “Wuf, I can talk!” and the NC going “Oh, shut up!”
    Don´t know why, it just struck me at that moment.

  • Ashenge

    That cameo was made of epic. Such an excellent costume.

  • areoborg

    I think you out-Travoltaed Travolta.

  • Saisinkolimonadin

    Everything is better with Spoony.

  • Kevin_Holsinger

    Good morning Spoony and fellow Spooners.

    Wow, Spoony gets a lot of use out of that wig, doesn't he?

    Personally, I think Dungeons and Dragons is worse than Battlefield Earth. You get the Yin of Thora Birch's UNDERacting trying to balance out the Yang of Jeremy Irons' OVERacting.

    And come on…who doesn't want to see Spoony in blue-lips?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Dylan-Buller-Dempsey/531560314 Dylan Buller-Dempsey

    I watched this last night and was pretty excited to see that cameo. Great work Spoony, it seems that everybody loved it.

  • bondpirate

    No one can chew the scenery better than Spoony (and we love him for it). Terl was (or is it will be… will have been… stupid future tenses) close, but SpoonyTerl removed any opportunity for an upset. But other than that, I HATE THIS MOVIE AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! GAH! The tilted camera, the complete lack of children (who I hear are really good at learning languages), the fact that even a mentally deficient monkey could have strip mined the whole planet in a couple centuries if every resource was devoted to it; let alone a millennium. GAH! Oh, yeah, did I say Gah! The list goes down to my feet, out the door and is now being peed on by my dog (how appropriate). GAH! But I digress, love your cameos and looking forward to black lantern Spoony making a comeback.

    P.S. If it works in a script, bring Terl back. After all, everyone loves a large ham… except maybe orthodox Jews… haha you see its a pun and they don't eat pork and… so yeah.

    P.P.S. I know you only used him once, but more Spoonicus please.

    I use way too many ellipses when I write.

  • soroka

    Overacting Spoony is overacting! Great review, guys!

  • soroka

    I'm with CasualMan, you have stolen this episode and sent it to a secret bank account in Switzerland! :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Heather-Solomon/100000457091583 Heather Solomon

    ellipses… ellipses… Yes I agree. I love Spoony's cameos and we should see more of SpoonyTerl an Spoonicus in the future. An… yes they have enough pointless plot points to make the time space continuum BEG for Superboy Whiny to punch another hole in reality.

    If Everything was better on his earth, I'd love to send him to Teryl's.

  • Kevin_Holsinger

    I'd like to third the return of Emperor Spoonus Maximus…though I have no clue how or why he'd come back.

  • Champ427

    Spoony, you absolutely stole the show here! Both of you did a great job on the show, but your Terl was brilliant!

  • godofplague

    Well Spoony next time you do a round table review you have plenty of characters to choose from so there is no need for the spoon bum any more. you got insano, ultimate warrior, cloud, and now turl, plus clone spoony, and as I understand Fem spoony.

    A board game with you insano warrior and turl would be awesome.

  • Anonymous

    Fantastic Job Spoony. God I hope you do more Turell in the future..

  • SkullCrusher

    Dibs on Insano.

  • Diggerjohn111

    That was nothing short of amazing.

  • http://bluehighwind.blogspot.com/ BlueHighwind

    Horray for Spoony's Turl!

  • coyoterys

    The moral of the story is – Don't fuck with Private Jackson and Tig from Sons of Anarchy… you will die.

  • http://www.facebook.com/adam.r.waine Adam Waine

    Look! its the Dutch Angel!
    The neck collar which blows ups is a terrible version of BR's neck collars which blow up 10 time better then BFE ones!
    Loved the overacting Spoony!
    Great Vid!

  • ScreamingMantis

    Spoony totally stole the show here no doubt. Without him, I dont think it would have been as funny as NC wanted it to be. Loved it. Such a terrible movie

  • urza22000

    grats spoony ya can act as good if not a little better then John Travolta in the movie probably without trying too hard/using ur insano knowledge.

  • Bosh_Depanzer

    The rifftrax to this movie is one the funniest I've seen!

    (see what i did there?)

    I think I peed myself laughing at that last part. Also, Spoony looks good with the dreadlocks.

  • eaglefalcon

    I think my head cracked from all the crack in this plot… wow… great review.

  • hwalsh

    Thank you Spoony for hosting this here (and playing the part of John Travolta… Next time do a Saturday Night Fever pose) and congrats to the Nostalgia Critic for 100 episodes!

  • calibandonflamingo

    I think the critic works better with legitimately nostalgic material…but I've actually seen this so I still enjoyed it. Spoony really was the funniest part though.

  • MrZer0

    Okay…there's just one thing I gotta see after seeing this; your comments
    Seriously, your comment tracks are usually a full fledged production on it's own even if it's just a running audio of you talking about nothing. mainly I just wanna hear your thoughts on the movie and the whole process about your bit in this

  • filmguy450

    Haha! That was epic level brilliance! I do hope that Spoony-Truel (sp?) becomes a recurring character!

  • http://soldierhawk.wordpress.com/ SoldierHawk

    I second the call for a commentary track! Especially if Doug can get in on it too!

    Great job as always Spoony. Those “emoting lessons” had me rolling in the aisles!

    Spoony's…ACTING!!

  • thedeviot

    Oh. My. God. I've never laughed so hard in my life.
    This was even better than the Warrior Spot a few Atop the fourth walls ago.
    Kudos.
    That was just…..
    Wow.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/f16134 f16134

    OMG Noah, you made me laugh for 10 minutes with your “To be, or not to BEE!!!” and believe me, it's not that easy to make me laugh xD Thank you man, you made my day :)

  • theshamster

    You and doug should release a out-takes and bloopers video of this review.

    I tried to imitate your “I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeealy angry” scene and when you held the “eeee”….I coult only last 5 seconds before bursting out laughing.

    You really should become an professional film and stage actor.

  • theshamster

    I think I saw the 'exploding neck collar' on another film called “The Running Man” which is far more interesting than this pile of horse shit.

    • Anonymous

      But it was on Star Trek (“Gamemasters of Triskelion”) before that, so Hubbard rips off from the best.

  • MFlorian

    Oh dear god, I saw Battlefield Earth in the theater. I didn't remember it being that bad. It was some time ago, though. Maybe I was just blocking it out or something.

  • markseif

    Lazy Upload As Usual. My Previous Comment On Your Last Upload Never Saw The Public Eye. How interesting Spoony; Anyways Do Something You Said You Would On Your “To Do” List. I Love Your Updates With Excuses =)

    Spoony, you made that review worth it!

  • memph

    My Main Man SpoonyOne,

    you never let me down.

    Fools!!
    before you even learned to spell your name…….

    you really did steal the show spoony.

    keep up the good work!

  • http://twitter.com/rubydynamite Ruby Dynamite

    Learn to capitalize properly.

    Also stop failing to troll. When Spoony has time, he'll get to the stuff on his list.

  • Drach

    lol, great work, Noah.

  • alfredmordeir

    I liked your Howard Stern costume, Spoony, but you did the voice all wrong.

  • http://shadoestar.tumblr.com/ JeffGilbert

    The highlight: Spoony as Terl doing Hamlet! (There's a sentence I never thought I'd type.)

  • leon101

    lol, “To beeee… or not to BEEE!”

  • thatrussianguy

    Excellent review but imagine of Spoony's (Terl's) last word was 'PHANTASMAGORIA!'

  • Havoc

    Spoony, SpoonyBum, SpoonyTurl and Dr. Insano all playing DnD or something. That would be an awesome sketch.

  • http://www.facebook.com/pvidetto Paul Videtto

    It's a shame for the main character's actor. He was the Sniper in Saving Private Ryan. I'm surprised he had a career after this… He was also in Flags of our Fathers and Enemy of the State (this one might have been before Battlefield Earth I think).

  • sachikochan

    haha, so hilarious xD
    loved it

  • dennett316

    Loved this vid, any time the Critic collaborates with Spoony is hugely watchable. The only thing better is when Linkara is involved as well….more triple team reviews.
    I'd also like to see some comedy skits in the vein of the ones from the Rooster Teeth crew (Red vs Blue), I think you guys could outdo them in the hilarious original skit stakes.

  • RickyButler

    Ha ha ha haha. Ha ha ha haha.

  • Bonadouche

    Hey Spoon, the Psychlos are real idiots, anyway I just thought about a really bad horror/space movie, I'm sure you've heard of it? Jason X. Please do a review of this garbage of a flick I would love to see you rip it to shreds with a big fuckin' machete. hows the foot?

  • hoshizuku

    No wonder Spoony never talks to you people. You're jerks.

  • flow_hoe

    As you said, he later had a role in Saving Private Ryan, which was totally shit. So he indeed didn't have any career after this. ;-)

    Hahahaaaa really good! nice one guys! Loved the Spoony appearance!! HAHAAAA

  • GunarmDyne

    The start of the movie recycles the plot of Teenage Caveman!

    An over acted review for an over acted movie. Now THATS ironic.

    My sister and I were rolling at the “To be… or not to BE!” line; had to stop the review because we could hardly breathe.
    GREAT collab-special.

  • SpoonyOneLove4You

    All members of TGWTG need to be more famous. Honestly, all you guys should run a TV channel yourselves. There's been game and movie review websites in the past, but recently, at least in the UK: There's been a decline. I used to watch TNT and Xgames(?) but now they've been ground into the dirt, most certainly by shoddy programs such as “World's Thinest Models” and such.
    Please advertise yourself more folks, among with Fony, you all make my time on this earth a little bit easier. Trying using Adwords, perhaps TV and definetely use some flyer ads .
    Hope you all make it on TV! I'll be waiting!

  • EpeEntertainment

    Spoony, you should get a fu**ing Oscar for his performance.
    I laugh my ass off every time I see “While you were still learning how to spell your name!”. xDDD
    One of the best NC episodes.

  • 13secondspastmidnight

    Poor poor critic. You just wanna give him a hug and a dose of thorazine. This movie… it just… it just… I mean… who the fuck thought this would be a good premise? For ANYTHING?!

    I mean, I know L.Ron.Hubbard was a con-artist idiot who couldn't write a good book to save his life but this is bad even for HIM!

    I think the dialogue between the producer and the director for this movie may have gone something like this:
    - Producer: we have a movie that we really think you'd be perfect for, will you have a look at the script?
    - Director: okay. [reads script] … aha! That is hilarious! This would make an awesome comedy! I mean, just the parody of the whole sci-fi genre and-
    - Producer: it's… not a comedy.
    - Director: err… what?
    - Producer: It's a serious film.
    - Director: r-really? Wha… why… I mean why would you even want to produce this piece of-
    - Producer: It's going to pull in a lot of money. It's written by the guy who came up with scientology. This thing will be backed by the entire hollywood A list.
    - Director: Wha-how-why- Look, I think you're wrong about the whole 'making money' thing, but it doesn't matter. I will NEVER direct this movie. It's a complete and utter joke! Whoever directs this movie will have their name blackened for eternity!
    - Producer: we have your wife and children held in our cellar downstairs. If you don't help us, very bad things will happen to them.
    - Director: Never! I will never sink to such depths of intimidation! I will never sink to the gutter level of this script-
    - Producer: we'll pay you.
    - Director: … how much money are we talking about here?

    May be followed by:
    - Director: … hey producer guy, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Why do you have red horns and a forked tail? And why did I feel like my soul was being sucked out of me when I signed that contract with the fiery pen?
    - Producer: Marketing ploy.

    Love your appearence as Tull, that was genius.
    I rented this movie when it came out, under the delucion, “Maybe I'll like it.” I quickly came to regret those words, as I realised that this movie is in fact, a piece of SHIT! Horrible dialog, dumb characters, stupid explainations, if no just plain bad.
    Just an around bad, dumb, piece of shit movie.
    thank you NC, and Spoony.

    Somewhere online is an essay by one of the screenwriters for Battlefield Earth in which he states that he TRIED to salvage this turd, but he wasn’t allowed to. See, when Mr. Hubbard wrote the novel, he left detailed notes demanding that the eventual film version be made JUST LIKE THIS. Hubbard sabotaged his own damn movie.

    My class and I met Kim Coates and when I asked what he thought of Battlefield Earth he asked what I thought of it. I said it sucked and he just laughed and thanked me for telling the truth.
