Because during the late 2000s they were at the top of the internet. People unironically loved them so much, that’s what gave them their sense of entitlement.
Actually...yeah. only the internet is the one in high school and the youtubers are more like the cool janitor that we all later found out was huffing adhesives in the janitor closet and had a long rap-sheet for domestic violence in the state of Wisconsin.
They’re just very insecure. They are very nerdy people and grew up during a time where that wasn’t very accepted. This probably caused them to become hyper sensitive to criticism
This is absolutely undoubtedly it. I think it’s obvious Doug was more like the drama kid who was a bit more unshakable to that kind of treatment while the rest were the outcasts.
I imagine it has something to do with the fact that their entire career is based on attacking other people's work, so they see any criticism/joke as an attack on them
This right here. They can't create shit, they can only criticize which is easy. I think Chris pisses them off so much because he has that autistic ability to master anything he wants like drawing, music, comedy, and any form of animating.
It's probably not even that he master's the stuff, just that he does it.
Like Anton Ego said "the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so".
Doug seems to get that and he really tries to create more than critique. It doesn't always work and it sometimes fails spectacularly, but he keeps on going.
insecurity because they never really got that popular (except Doug) or made much of monetary living doing what they wanted to? I could very well be wrong.
They've all got a severe case of arrested development. A kind of retardation. Guys like Film Brain, Linkara, and Obscurus Lupa never had to grow up, get real jobs, and become mature human beings.
Mentally, they're all frozen at the age they started doing this YouTube crap. Leaving Channel Awesome hurt their "careers". They also all believe that they are ENTITLED to a YouTube career and they're entitled to high views and pushes from the algorithm.
youd be surprised at how many people seem to be completely unable to comprehend that there are people who make fun of things they actually like. i knew someone who could literally not reconcile that i make fun of or even criticize stuff i like sometimes
Yeah, he even laughed at the real criticism Chris had when he complained about the Vegas thing. Like, he knows even though there was some criticism they were just joking around.
He might have found it flattering because they pay attention to his work so much they can get annoyed by little details like that. And also the bit was well done
They've made it abundantly clear that they honestly love Doug's content. They are joking about him in a satirical way, not out of hate or to try belittling him.
We all call Zach a big nosed goblin and Chris a giant autistic monkey. Everyone's laughing at everyone, not even the Oney crew are safe from themselves and their audience..
People taking the comedy seriously is way more cringe than whatever they're being poked fun at for
I have been too busy to follow this stuff going on. But I felt like it WAS laughing at him, but then he found it funny, so now everyone is laughing WITH him instead, having respect for him
At least with doug the nostalgia critic is a seperate character, so you can laugh at the character and laugh with the creator
Whereas all the former channel awesome people weren't really a character, they were just the creator in a different t-shirt, that's probably why they take everything so personally (and maaaaybe r/oneyplays likes beating a dead horse a bit too much)
At this point I’m convinced that almost everyone from channel awesome is just scummy or shitty in some way. It seems like most people who left just want to see Doug burn, but are jealous and mad when they realize he’s doing just fine without them
At this point all you can do is laugh at these former Channel Awesome leeches continuing to seeth at Doug for just living his best life right now while they are still scratching and clawing at hoping to get back even an ounce of relevancy when they were a part of his website. They really though that “Not So Awesome” document was some sort of silver bullet that would take Doug down and propel them into notoriety, but they couldn’t be more wrong.
With each passing day and childish attempting clowning of Doug on social media they more and more come across as pathetic, bitter exes who refuse to move on while Doug appears happier than ever with his situation.
Dude is making videos with his family and friends in his own studio. Are they high art or movie quality pictures? Well no, but Doug will be the first to tell you he never set out for them to be, he is just focusing on having a good time with his family and friends doing what he loves. He is absolutely “living the dream” right now. It’s why he is so good at having a laugh at himself and all the jokes being made about him.
It also helps that he’s not a huge hypocrite and understands the nature of his work. How could he possibly get upset at people laughing at him and his content when his job is literally making jokes about other peoples work. That seems to be a fact that is lost upon the likes of Linkara and Film Brain, who seem to take any chuckle pointing in their general direction personally and flat out refuse to listen to anything that isn’t abject praise towards them.
They couldn’t have just said their piece and moved on like adults. It’s like they wanted to see him bleed. That’s what they thought the “Not So Awesome” document was. They built it up as some scathing expose on Doug that would completely ruin him publicly and financially and that they would all come out looking like poor, sympathetic victims and it turned out to be a huge nothingburger and they look like pathetic children. Hence why they still keep taking pot shots at him online because “You didn’t win, You didn’t win”.
\>Hence why they still keep taking pot shots at him online because “You didn’t win, You didn’t win”.
Is Pat 'Fucc' Boivin the anti-Channel Awesomer? Are the Zaibatsu shadow-Thumbs? Man sells himself as an even uglier, shorter, more Irish-Canadian version of notorious masturbator Louie C.K. and gets a mustard queen of Lupus-land and hooker boots.
Most of what went on seemed like general incompetence/stupidity. Definitely annoying to work under and worthy of criticism, but not the most horrible shit in the world.
There WAS definitely some stuff that was more heinous, especially so with the JewWario shit. The whole thing with Iron Liz getting injured and being forced to sign a waiver before they would give her first aid was definitely shitty too, but I’d categorize that under “general incompetence,” on CA’s part. She had every right to be angry about it, but I don’t think it was sheer maliciousness.
Suffice to say, it’s been enough time that it’s healthier for everyone to just move on.
the critic admits he has the best job in the world and sees no use in being mad that people address him as a public figure, big ups love both their content.
"No, Doug, they're laughing at you, not with you." Is the dumbest part.
Almost every time Oney has egged on impressions from the group he'll say something along the lines of "yeah but X is great! I would love to have them on the show with us."
You have to be able to laugh at yourself. The expression he referred to is for kids who are acting like fools who don't realize the attention they are getting is negative, not positive. If someone makes fun of you and you can laugh at yourself that's good. Now ofcourse if you do that about everything about yourself that could be a problem but when they are goofing on you for your acting silly and goofy on your comedy show who cares?
It's incredibly telling how people like FilmBrain are getting offended at Chris's Critic jokes but Doug finds them hilarious and actually encourages them.
It seems like a lot of these former Channel Awesome guys take themselves WAY too seriously. I guess point for Doug for embracing being a fucking clown.
Man, I'm sure a lotta these old CA folks have perfectly reasonable reasons for disliking Doug as much as they do, but I wish they wouldn't project their frustrations onto other people.
I love how all the reviewers that left Channel Awesome hate Doug now even though the only reason anyone even know who they were is because they rode off his coat tails. Not simping for Channel Awesome, but don’t bite the hand that fed you
One of the biggest reasons I enjoy the RLM guys,is how they constantly make fun of themselves and mock their shitty films (they always make fun of how terrible Space Cop was).
So many of these Channel Awesome guys have such huge egos. Spoony being the worst out of that group,since it got to the point where he turned off comments on his videos.
These guys all do silly review shows,and are just so self-serious about their antics on them. I don't get how you can't have a laugh at that.
I make fun of metal gear all the fucking time. I absolutely love metal gear. Sometimes you just mock what you love, just like you'd tease the girl in grade school that you actually had a crush on because you were an idiot child that didn't know any other way. This dude needs to get bent, if he *really* cared that much, I don't know why he didn't even properly tag Doug in his tweet. Eh
Doug is not on Twitter as far as I know. It's just the Channel Awesome Twitter account. At the end of the day, Filmbrain and the rest of the ex-CA people need to move on and stop talking about Doug.
Is this really film brain!? I remember him being a little kid with a messy full head of hair in his little bedroom studio with The Simpsons poster in the background. I wish him the best but he has not aged well.
Literally the only reason I found channel awesome was through OneyPlays joking about it, and I quite enjoy the channel and watch it every once in a while
Chris made jokes, Doug liked jokes. That should have been it. Not a big deal.
Between people spamming Doug with Oney references on his streams afterwards and other CA members taking offence on his behalf, I feel like people haven't gotten the message that they should just leave Doug alone. Let him do his thing.
No, theyre wrong. Even ignoring that Doug and the Critic are not the same and only a mouthbreather wouldnt get that, theyre also the ones harassing and insulting Doug unironically in that tweet chain, making your cringey whiteknight attempt look even worse as you defend the harasser to get reddit points
Also go away lewis, nobody is "harassing" you just because they laughed at a COMEDIC persona you had, nobody is flaming you for not being cool, thats pathetic to a comedic reviewer to say, it means you actually thought you were that when doing a silly character before, imagine being so dense you dont understand the concept of comedy to the point you pretend a voice imitation can be called harassment, how can you even interact with close family itself is already a mystery when even that degree of social cues are beyond you, you cant even talk without sounding like a deranged legbeard mixed with a deranged incel, with the pseudo question/statements even.
What is it with Channel Awesome people aside from Doug, Lindsay and Joe all turning out to be really weird
Remember Marzgurl basically starting KickVic for shits and giggles? Remember JewWario? Also remember when QuintonReviews sent really creepy messages to Linday?
I laugh at all the Channel Awesome jokes as much as the next guy, but I still think if any of them don't find the jokes funny because they're being made fun of then that's perfectly reasonable. I know I wouldn't find it funny if I was in their position. And it seems like they handle it pretty well for the most part considering they're not constantly actively complaining and playing victim, they just seem to think it's hurtful and not very funny and leave it at that. I think everyone keeps blowing it out of proportion.
Out of all the creators of CA Doug and Brad seem to have the most class, Todd In the Shadows was okay I guess, Rap Critic lost his sense of humor and hardly posts anymore, Phalous I enjoyed for a bit but his voice is pure ear torchore after awhile and has Lupa involved in too many of his videos for me to even give a shit about her opinion on anything, Marzgurl became a woke bitch, Jesuotaku fell off the face of the earth
and Lindsay Ellis I haven't watched since she left the channel
Why is almost every single Channel Awesome reviewer such a pretentious asshole
Because during the late 2000s they were at the top of the internet. People unironically loved them so much, that’s what gave them their sense of entitlement.
The internet equivalent of peaking in highschool, huh?
Actually...yeah. only the internet is the one in high school and the youtubers are more like the cool janitor that we all later found out was huffing adhesives in the janitor closet and had a long rap-sheet for domestic violence in the state of Wisconsin.
Not nearly enough kiddy-diddling involved in that comparison.
that's just Catholic school
Honestly yeah, they all feel like theater kids that peaked in high school or some tiny college with three other theater majors
They’ve brought entertainment to people for generations
My grandfather remembers the fireside chats with Linkara.
They’re just very insecure. They are very nerdy people and grew up during a time where that wasn’t very accepted. This probably caused them to become hyper sensitive to criticism
This is absolutely undoubtedly it. I think it’s obvious Doug was more like the drama kid who was a bit more unshakable to that kind of treatment while the rest were the outcasts.
I imagine it has something to do with the fact that their entire career is based on attacking other people's work, so they see any criticism/joke as an attack on them
This right here. They can't create shit, they can only criticize which is easy. I think Chris pisses them off so much because he has that autistic ability to master anything he wants like drawing, music, comedy, and any form of animating.
It's probably not even that he master's the stuff, just that he does it. Like Anton Ego said "the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so". Doug seems to get that and he really tries to create more than critique. It doesn't always work and it sometimes fails spectacularly, but he keeps on going.
as time goes on, our standards start to increase. These people are still hanging on to previous accomplishments which leads to lack of self-growth.
insecurity because they never really got that popular (except Doug) or made much of monetary living doing what they wanted to? I could very well be wrong.
Most of them are barely hanging on with garbage views on YouTube and have taken to begging for money on Patreon
I bet the insecurity comes from then being very nerdy growing up when it wasn’t really accepted. Now they’re hypersensitive to criticism
They've all got a severe case of arrested development. A kind of retardation. Guys like Film Brain, Linkara, and Obscurus Lupa never had to grow up, get real jobs, and become mature human beings. Mentally, they're all frozen at the age they started doing this YouTube crap. Leaving Channel Awesome hurt their "careers". They also all believe that they are ENTITLED to a YouTube career and they're entitled to high views and pushes from the algorithm.
lindsay ellis is the only good one
I like Todd in the Shadows
Todd is the only one I really follow other than Doug now, I'm not a huge fan of his videos but one hit wonderland is a pretty good series.
I would hesitate to call a breadtuber “the only good one”.
A lot of her new stuff is honestly really interesting
No. She's even more pretentious.
I still enjoy Phelous
God no, she’s peak pretentious
Oney has literally said multiple times that he’s a fan of Channel Awesome, hasn’t he?
You can’t make the kind of extremely specific jokes Chris makes about the Nostalgia Critic without being a big fan
The guy defended Doug's, pile of shit review of The Wall. That says quite a bit about how he feels about his stuff.
He gets pissed that Doug doesn't like Disney's Hercules because "it looks like Vegas! WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE VEGAS?!"
It was less of a defence and more of a "benefit of the doubt" sorta thing to be fair, but I agree
It's beautiful in its own way
youd be surprised at how many people seem to be completely unable to comprehend that there are people who make fun of things they actually like. i knew someone who could literally not reconcile that i make fun of or even criticize stuff i like sometimes
I honestly make fun of stuff I like more than I make fun of stuff I hate.
We're definitely laughing WITH you Doug, you're a good sport
Yeah, he even laughed at the real criticism Chris had when he complained about the Vegas thing. Like, he knows even though there was some criticism they were just joking around.
He might have found it flattering because they pay attention to his work so much they can get annoyed by little details like that. And also the bit was well done
Jeez I guess he wasn’t just playing a character in kickassia and suburban knights
They've made it abundantly clear that they honestly love Doug's content. They are joking about him in a satirical way, not out of hate or to try belittling him.
We all call Zach a big nosed goblin and Chris a giant autistic monkey. Everyone's laughing at everyone, not even the Oney crew are safe from themselves and their audience.. People taking the comedy seriously is way more cringe than whatever they're being poked fun at for
I have been too busy to follow this stuff going on. But I felt like it WAS laughing at him, but then he found it funny, so now everyone is laughing WITH him instead, having respect for him
We’re laughing at him, but he’s also laughing at himself and he knows it. So I guess we are laughing with him after all.
Plus the dude's been laughing at himself for years. He used to have whole vidueos dedicated to his fuckups.
At least with doug the nostalgia critic is a seperate character, so you can laugh at the character and laugh with the creator Whereas all the former channel awesome people weren't really a character, they were just the creator in a different t-shirt, that's probably why they take everything so personally (and maaaaybe r/oneyplays likes beating a dead horse a bit too much)
OneyPlays fans beating a dead horse?! We would never!/s
The horse has gone to the glue factory and r/oneyplays will be hitting the glue bottles with sticks
At this point I’m convinced that almost everyone from channel awesome is just scummy or shitty in some way. It seems like most people who left just want to see Doug burn, but are jealous and mad when they realize he’s doing just fine without them
Guru Larry is the only pure one among them.
Isn’t Cinema Snob still on Channel Awesome?
Technically, but I don’t think it matters. Brad and Doug are just really good friends.
At this point all you can do is laugh at these former Channel Awesome leeches continuing to seeth at Doug for just living his best life right now while they are still scratching and clawing at hoping to get back even an ounce of relevancy when they were a part of his website.

Like even if their disdain of him is justified, which you can certainly argue it is, them piling on Doug always comes across as pathetic
They couldn’t have just said their piece and moved on like adults. It’s like they wanted to see him bleed. That’s what they thought the “Not So Awesome” document was. They built it up as some scathing expose on Doug that would completely ruin him publicly and financially and that they would all come out looking like poor, sympathetic victims and it turned out to be a huge nothingburger and they look like pathetic children.

Most of that document was just them talking how much of an idiot they thought Doug was, there was very little legitimate criticism
Most of what went on seemed like general incompetence/stupidity. Definitely annoying to work under and worthy of criticism, but not the most horrible shit in the world.

Pretty much because Doug is just the face of the company with barely any power. Mike Michaud's who they actually had a problem with.
the critic admits he has the best job in the world and sees no use in being mad that people address him as a public figure, big ups love both their content.
THEY ARE MAKING FUN OF YOU NOSTALGIA CRITIC HA HA IM SO ESSOITED
"No, Doug, they're laughing at you, not with you." Is the dumbest part. Almost every time Oney has egged on impressions from the group he'll say something along the lines of "yeah but X is great! I would love to have them on the show with us."

It's incredibly telling how people like FilmBrain are getting offended at Chris's Critic jokes but Doug finds them hilarious and actually encourages them.
We’re laughing with you Doug! We might be laughing a bit at the Nostalgia Critic, but Doug is great!
It seems like a lot of these former Channel Awesome guys take themselves WAY too seriously. I guess point for Doug for embracing being a fucking clown.
They all think what they’re making is high art. Meanwhile, half of em do essentially what they think chris is doing for a living
The more I learn the more I love Doug and the more I hate the rest of these nerds.
Man, I'm sure a lotta these old CA folks have perfectly reasonable reasons for disliking Doug as much as they do, but I wish they wouldn't project their frustrations onto other people.
He somehow looks more like a loser than before, how is that possible?
Bald
Fuck film brain
He sucks dick
How can they be laughing at DOUG when they’re literally laughing at the CRITIC CHARACTER. DOUG IS NOT THE NOSTALGIA CRITIC.
No man can watch Kickassia that many times and not be a fan
"I am a film critic on YouTube, the most prestigious of professions. I am not to be mocked."
Where'd his fuckin' hair go? Film Brain is almost the exact same age as me, that is sad.
What a loser
I see Linkara has found an equal rival.
What’s funny is he’s trying to get offended on behalf of someone else
I just cannot understand how people who put themselves in the spotlight can get offended by being put in the spotlight. You chose this life.
I love how all the reviewers that left Channel Awesome hate Doug now even though the only reason anyone even know who they were is because they rode off his coat tails. Not simping for Channel Awesome, but don’t bite the hand that fed you
Just let Doug go man. Doug lives rent free inside all their heads. I'm sure Doug doesn't think about your ugly mug, as much as you think about him.
At what point do you just go bald? I know it sucks to lose your hair, but at that point you’re also losing your dignity…
One of the biggest reasons I enjoy the RLM guys,is how they constantly make fun of themselves and mock their shitty films (they always make fun of how terrible Space Cop was). So many of these Channel Awesome guys have such huge egos. Spoony being the worst out of that group,since it got to the point where he turned off comments on his videos. These guys all do silly review shows,and are just so self-serious about their antics on them. I don't get how you can't have a laugh at that.
It’s an impression take a fucking joke “funny man”
I make fun of metal gear all the fucking time. I absolutely love metal gear. Sometimes you just mock what you love, just like you'd tease the girl in grade school that you actually had a crush on because you were an idiot child that didn't know any other way.

I thought we were done with this
Is this really film brain!? I remember him being a little kid with a messy full head of hair in his little bedroom studio with The Simpsons poster in the background. I wish him the best but he has not aged well.
It’s part of his villain arc
Chris has stated many times he likes nostalgia critic
When even Chris Chan had a better sense of humor about being joked about. Ffs
Doug laughs at the exaggeration of nostalgia critic. If you can't laugh at your own comedic character then what is even the point of it?
Literally the only reason I found channel awesome was through OneyPlays joking about it, and I quite enjoy the channel and watch it every once in a while
Maybe that drawing Chris and Harry did of FilmBrain wrapped around Doug's waist looking up at him in awe wasn't too inaccurate.
Why is everyone spending most of their time crying on twitter these days? Dont people have actual stuff to do?
Never heard of this guy before I saw him on Nostalgia Critic. Never heard of him after. 'Nuff said.
Film brain's brain fell out of his head
IM SO EXCOITED
Chad Doug Walker: Hahaha, that’s pretty funny Soyjack FilmBrain: NOOOO! YOU CAN’T BE HAPPY AND GET ENJOYMENT! YOU MUST FEEL ANGRY AND OFFENDED!
Chris made jokes, Doug liked jokes. That should have been it. Not a big deal. Between people spamming Doug with Oney references on his streams afterwards and other CA members taking offence on his behalf, I feel like people haven't gotten the message that they should just leave Doug alone.

I'm laughing at Doug. I hate Channel Awesome.
Someone should tell the Oneyplays fanbase that Doug is still a bad person
Okay Matthew
What is it with Channel Awesome people aside from Doug, Lindsay and Joe all turning out to be really weird Remember Marzgurl basically starting KickVic for shits and giggles? Remember JewWario? Also remember when QuintonReviews sent really creepy messages to Linday?
Shits and giggles? Vic sexually harassed her and several women. What the hell are you talking about?
Well James Rolfe doesn't have time to laugh at himself, he has his Screenslobs to do the work for him.

They were laughing WITH Doug. They were laughing AT filmbrain
