The Fire Blogger is a Website/{{Facebook}} Internet personality. He is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] TV reviewer, and tears several shows he considers overrated apart. The first show he riffed is TheMiddle. His blog used to be exclusive to tearing each episode of TheMiddle a new one, but he appears to have broadened his horizons to making fun of Kidz Bop and awful Music/WeirdAlYankovic-style parodies from the Westboro Baptist Church.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Or, in this case, Alternate IMDB User Interpretation. FireBlogger, while ranting on dumb fans of TheMiddle on IMDB, FireBlogger finds a user named GunsmokeRocks, and he judges the wording in Gunsmoke's posts which makes him believe that [[RuleOfFunny Gunsmoke is Alex Reid incognito]]. It's actually pretty funny.



* CrossesTheLineTwice: Saying that he wouldn't care if Axl got an STD.
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Taking a long time to defend HomeschooledKids, after TheMiddle took an unfunny TakeThat to said HomeschooledKids.
*** Especially considering there was [[DidNotDoTheResearch no research]] behind TheMiddle's said TakeThat. Knowing that, of course, makes FireBlogger's long, epic TakeThat against bigoted public school parents even more awesome.
** His long post in which he disowns Asalieri and BusyStreet is a CrazyAwesome lecture thrown at Asalieri, pointing out that even though he makes fun of The Middle's fans, he doesn't go on IMDB to make fun of them there, get his posts deleted, and then banned from the website. He also acknowledged that BusyStreet, using their favorite search engine, could probably find his post and make fun of him for it, and he risked a long flame war just so that he could call Asalieri out, and defend TV Tropes.
** Overall, it's him giving logical reasons why he considers TheMiddle as the worst TV show in existence. Especially when TheMiddle has a humongous fanbase. But if you love the show, YourMileageMayVary.



* LoveItOrHateIt: He is either considered giving truthful synopses about overrated TV shows, or a hateful, bitter person who hates things for the sake of hating things.
* MalcolmInTheMiddle: He clearly loves this show, has seen every episode at least a few times (enough for him to know when TheMiddle plagiarizes MalcolmInTheMiddle).
* MSTing: His form of reviews. He explains what's going on in the episode/movie that he's riffing on, and then makes fun of it.
