He very clearly still regrets this.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He admits in one of his [=Vlog=] reviews that he has ADD.
* AttentionWhore: Not in a bad way, but sometimes it can seem like he's putting on a show for entertainment when he's in {{keet}} mode.
* BiasSteamroller: If there's a movie with a plot that's been done before, he'll probably despise it and usually would try to avoid it.
** Though in his "Old vs. New" videos, he prefers the remakes often enough to avert this trope (KarateKid, LordOfTheRings, TrueGrit, TheNuttyProfessor).
* BigEater: He said at a con that most of what he eats is a lot of junk food. Looking at him, you wouldn't suspect it.
* BlackComedy:[[http://blip.tv/nostalgiacritic/sketches-the-most-disturbing-aristocrats-joke-ever-1469521 The Most Disturbing Aristocrats Joke Ever]].
* BreakTheCutie: He used to love the ''{{Twilight}}'' movies for being so gloriously awful, but ''Breaking Dawn'' made him feel so dirty that he's very close to tears in his own review.
* TheCastShowoff: If you don't know that he's a good singer and knows it, you probably haven't watched his videos. Same with his love of doing impressions. And then of course there's the fact that before making videos full-time he was a professional illustrator and is not unwilling to show off his drawing prowess.
* CatBoy: No, really. See this [[http://i56.tinypic.com/16knrf9.jpg picture]].
* CarefulWithThatAxe: He has a very high pitch range and is not afraid to flaunt it. Occasionally, it manifests itself in this trope (e.g.''TomAndJerryTheMovie, {{Junior}}, {{Flubber}}, It'')
* {{Cosplay}}: He does an ''amazing'' [[SupermanII General Zod]].
** Of course, the Critic wouldn't ever have managed to take over {{Kickassia}} if it weren't for him being... well... [[Film/StreetFighter M. Bison]].
** In ''SuburbanKnights'', he dresses up as [[TheLegendOfZelda Link]].
* CantHoldHisLiquor: In the commentary for ''{{It}}'', he recalls how he tried the ''RedDwarf'' drinking game, couldn't finish it and puked before passing out.
* ChubbyChaser: He tends to perk up when heftier women are on scene. His fiancee and ex-girlfriend (shown in ''SuburbanKnights'') are also both highly curvaceous.
* CreatorBacklash: As far as he's concerned, Melvin, Brother of the Joker and Emo Jones are {{UnPe|rson}}ople.
* CreatorThumbprint: He has big things for tragic funniness, worlds where even the StraightMan is crazy and [[invoked]] {{Jerkass Woobie}}s. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also]], whenever he needs a girl's name in Critic or Ask That Guy videos, it'll always be "Vanessa".
* DepravedBisexual: Not Doug himself but an AlterEgoActing persona he put on in the third DVD advertisement. Shirtless, psychotic and threatening a tied up "pretty" guy with a knife.
* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: [[invoked]] One of his main problems with ''SleepingBeauty'' is that the leads are so deathly dull. And this is the guy that argued Snow White and Cinderella weren't all that bad from a feminist POV.
* DoubleStandard: While discussing ''{{Daria}}'' in his top favorite TV shows, he notices that men have a tendency to love Daria's monotone voice but hate the same thing in her boyfriend, while women react vice versa.
* EroticEating: With a banana and a lollipop, both {{lampshaded}} to the best of his ability.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: We won't go into audience examples, but InUniverse he's been nearly kissed twice and managed to get out of a hug before he got his ass groped.
** As for the guys he wants, he has a bit of a thing for [[{{Twilight}} Jacob]].
* FanservicePack: He's stopped with the middle-aged-man shirts and ridiculously baggy jeans to actually have clothes that fit him. God bless self-confidence.
* FemaleGaze: Invoked. There are a lot of things he does that makes his girl fans squee and immature male fans reach for BrainBleach. [[hottip:*: This might also possibly account for some of the more venomous [[MyGirlIsNotASlut reactions]] he gets.]]
* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: He's usually funnier with his brother Rob, who helps write his videos.
* TheGlomp: He's a big fan of these at conventions.
* GuiltyPleasure: He has several, most notably being the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies, which he's admitted to ''loving'' for being so stupid.
* HeIsAllGrownUp: As this [[http://www.facebook.com/pages/Doug-Walker/127127037353766#!/photo.php?fbid=129804960447390&set=o.127127037353766&type=1&theater picture]] so [[SarcasmMode eloquently]] states.
* IAmNotSpock: Even though WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaCritic is a hyperbolic wreck who would have probably died in the real world long ago, people still confuse Doug with his character.
* {{Keet}}: He used to be pretty shy when he was starting out, but now he's pretty much always happy, hug-loving and very bouncy.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Watch any behind the scenes material with him and [[WebOriginal/TheNostalgiaChick Lindsay Ellis]]; they're this trope.
* ManOfAThousandVoices
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Most of his characters are awful people or deeply screwed-up, or both. The Nostalgia Critic is a bratty lunatic and a bag of issues; "WebOriginal/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses" is a sadistic monster; in the trailer for the TGWTG Volume 3 DVD, Doug has kidnapped someone and glued them to a chair to torture them (and promote the DVD). Other TGWTG contributors and fans seem to agree that the real Doug Walker is a ridiculously nice guy. See NiceGuy below
* {{Misblamed}}: Fans have a tendency to blame him for whatever happens in crossovers or specials, forgetting that the majority of people on the site have their own character and will speak up if they feel OOC.
* MrFanservice: As well as some of the things he does for the Critic and Ask That Guy, he takes every opportunity he can to flirt with people, start a striptease for con-goers or show off some skin.
* NiceGuy: He's a sweet man. In his commentary for ''Zombie 5'', [[TheSpoonyExperiment Noah Antwiler]] (a nice guy on his own) said how Doug called him up to profusely apologize for coincidentally using his idea of dressing up like WebOriginal/TheCinemaSnob first.
** In a [[http://twitter.com/thelindsayellis/status/85550919638450176 tweet]], Lindsay called him one of the rare Really Nice Guys.
** On {{Facebook}}, a {{troll}} was calling Doug every single sexually degrading thing he could think of for a long while. He then asked when he lost his virginity. Doug finally responded with a YourMom joke... and then ''apologized'' for having to be "needlessly cruel" sometimes.
** Lampshaded in {{Phelous}}'s ''HouseOfWax'' review. While everyone else celebrates Paris Hilton's death in the film, he's disgusted by their behavior.
* OlderThanTheyThink: In-universe, while talking about ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'', he brought up that it was really ''{{Pinocchio}}'' that started the whole "wish and you'll do fine" business that people dislike the DisneyPrincess range of movies for.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Whenever Doug tries to do an accent it inevitably turns into some sort of weird Eastern European accent. See his "How To Be a Pirate" videos and his contributions to Lupa's [[TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]] videos for examples.
* OralFixationFixation: Put anything phallic in front of him and he ''will'' lick it. His WebOriginal/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses pipe, a lollipop, a lightsaber (three times), a banana, a joystick... [[PlayingToTheFetishes Women were pleased]].
* RaisedCatholic: Doug said he attended Catholic school when he was a kid in his "MelodyTime" Review.
** In some of his flashback videos, Catholic items (and a church) are seen. In his video "Off to Defeat the Nerd," he asks Rob what they were bapitized as.
* PaleSkinnedBrunette: He is ridiculously pale, which means he sunburns quicker than most. The last scene in ''SuburbanKnights'' has his neck almost blood red.
* PrimaDonnaDirector: His "[[AlterEgoActing persona]]" in "The {{Kickassia}}n War". In real life he's a nice but firm perfectionist version.
* SadClown: While he's fine now, the character of the Critic came from a quite extreme "nostalgia phase"/"mid-midlife crisis" and he's one of those comedians that believes some of the best comedy comes from being miserable.
* SceneryPorn: Shots from around his house show he has a really ''killer'' art collection.
* SarcasmFailure: Towards the end of his ''Boys Beware'' riff. He can only say "...wow" to the assertion that gay people are mentally ill.
* [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Shameless Fanservice Boy]]: As seen by the donation drives and some cons with Rob, he carries on the teasing even when others are uncomfortable.
* ShrinkingViolet: In his Disneycember review of ''A Goofy Movie'', he joke-cries that the shy, stuttering guy in the corner really ''can't'' get the hot girl in real life. Cue fangirl d'awwing.
* SickAndWrong: He was particularly disgusted and upset on [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Breaking Dawn, Part 1]] trying to discuss the topic of abortion, stating that a subject like that requires you to, among other things be highly knowledgeable on the subject and know what you're talking about, neither of which fits the film's take on the subject.
* DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible: Doug has this opinion about [[{{Literature/Twilight}} "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1".]]
** And let's not forget his thoughts on "{{The Garbage Pail Kids Movie}}".
* StopBeingStereotypical: This is his problem with ''{{Enchanted}}''. He states that by the 90s Disney movies, the princesses and female leads ''weren't'' ditzy damsels and ''Enchanted'' was acting like they were.
* TalkingToHimself: He does have loads of characters...
* TearJerker: [[invoked]] He can get through ''GraveOfTheFireflies'' alright, but ''WolfsRain'' always makes him cry.
* TheTease: He likes his flirting. A ''lot''. All for fun, though.
* TethercatPrinciple: He will occasionally use defiance of this trope as a joke.[[invoked]]
* TooKinkyToTorture: He certainly comes off like this when he reveals he willingly and without regret put clothespins on his private parts for the second animated Titanic movie review.
* TrueArtIsAngsty: Doug went through this [[invoked]] phase during his high school/college years and made a few short films during that time, which he now considers {{Old Shame}}s to poke fun of.
* VocalEvolution: The Critic lost Doug's Chicago accent and become broader, Ask That Guy's voice become posher and Chester's voice is a bit lower now.
* TheWoobie: [[InvokedTrope He really loves playing these]], whether they're pure woobie or the [[JerkassWoobie jerkass kind]]. The only characters of his that don't have issues of some nature are Dominic and Raoul Puke. The former is a bartender dealing with the personal problems of video game characters and the latter is a druggie. That should tell you something.
* WomenAreWiser: In his AsHimself review of ''Paranormal Activity III'', he not-very-seriously calls the films anti-men for always having them be idiots.
* TheWorkaholic: Rob said on a forum post that Doug's fiancee doesn't get to see him as often as she'd like because they're always working. And with that in mind, Doug himself understandably gets a bit frustrated with people who call him "lazy".
