History DudeNotFunny / TheNostalgiaCritic

* In his ''Film/TheRoom'' review, the Critic is baffled that Johnny laughs at Mark's story about a woman beaten up by one of her boyfriends upon finding out about her many lovers.

--> '''Critic:''' ''[[DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff (whipping the movie poster with his belt)]]'' BAD MOVIE! THAT'S A BAD, BAD MOVIE!! I AM SO ASHAMED OF YOU!! BAD MOVIE!! [[TheGlovesComeOff Okay, all bets are off!]] If this movie can't even represent a dead person by getting his GENDER right, NOT making up a false romance, ''AND A CHILD MOLESTING STORY, '''ALL OF IT FABRICATED'''... I mean, I know a person really was murdered in real life, but it wasn't the same way, it wasn't the same time, and it wasn't even the same gender as they're saying here. And what is so strange about this is that it totally proves why the method they're so poorly trying to convey to us wouldn't work! People do make bad choices when they're emotional, and bad things do happen! Again, the real teachings of the real Hunter Adams are much smarter than this. And by trying to simplify it to such a disgusting, fictionalized degree is absolutely HORRIBLE. Let me tell YOU something, movie. Maybe YOU should have been "emotionally invested" when you were representing the life of a man, his theories, his friends, his real life practices, and his actual hard work! '''''[[AtomicFBomb FUCK...YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!!]]'''''

* In his review of ''Film/PearlHarbor'', the Critic hits the RageBreakingPoint and delivers a hard-core TheReasonYouSuckSpeech at Creator/MichaelBay for having a random Navy man hollering "I can't swim!" while his ship is sinking, calling it incredibly low for the sake of "ooh, [[{{Eagleland}} America is suffering!]]". [[AluminumChristmasTrees Turns out that it wasn't mandatory in the U.S. Navy for their shipmen to learn to swim until after this attack]].

* In the behind the scenes video of ''Film/TheShining'' review, Malcolm is the only one not laughing about his white-face and says that he doesn't know how to make it not offensive.

* The behind the scenes of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'' review had Rob asking why Doug why he is so mean-spirited to Once-ler {{fangirl}}s, [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Loki]] fangirls and his own.
* In the behind the scenes of ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' (and later in "Disney Afternoon"'s commentary), Doug has a laugh about everyone who was upset (most saying the non-slapstick of it made them uncomfortable) by Critic abusing Malcolm in “Disney Afternoon”. Also invoked in the same video; Rob thinks Doug's jokes about being shitty to his wife are gross, and Doug teases that he's the worst husband ever for them.
* In the behind of scenes of ''Film/JurassicParkIII'', Malcolm describes the 'Child Tamara getting abused by Doug' scene as “completely insane”. Rob also makes it very clear that he didn't have a hand in writing that scene and it was just Doug's brain. Lampshaded by the Critic himself during the review:
-->'''Critic''': ...Wow. I was in a dark place when I wrote that.

* Invoked again by Doug in the ''Film/SmallSoldiers'' BTS, where he makes Nazi jokes and in the same breath makes fun of anyone who might be offended in the future.

* Doug mentioned the backlash to the ''Film/BridgeToTerabithia'' episode in the “real thoughts” review, giggling over how mean the title card was and side-stepping the issue of calling a child too pretty, saying she just wasn't right for the role.
* Talking in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q7tcjSM0Bc interview]] about the ''Film/DemolitionMan'' review, Doug was disappointed to learn that WebSite/{{tumblr}} didn't take his TakeThat bait like he thought they would.

--> '''Doug:''' The sacrifices I make for good taste!

-->'''Doug:''' ''(hushed)'' I wasn't here for a second, was I? That scene actually took me someplace else. A place...not of this realm. It was not a good place. In fact, it was a very, very ''bad'' place. One of the worst places I've ever been. But...it was so bad...I almost want to go back to it. I want to ''study'' it. I want to understand how, on every level of unpleasantness, this scene went above and beyond what I thought possible in a film. Creator/JamesGunn was fired for ''tweeting'' scenes like this. And [[Creator/TomGreen this guy]] was given $14 million to bring it to the big screen. I have never witnessed a scene like that in cinema. And only this story and this tone could build up to something so heinous. There is no place you can look, no area you can escape to, nothing else you can think about except every possible ugliness crammed into this ''one moment.''

** Addressed by Rob after [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin's death]], saying he was going to force Doug to hold himself back from writing suicide scenes/suicidal feelings with the Critic, at least for a short while. But Doug apparently didn't listen, as ''Ghost Dad'' was reviewed shortly after and it was entirely based on Critic making everyone think he had committed suicide. There was also the “Disney Afternoon” behind the scenes where he wanted to create a suicidal StrawFan replacement of Douchey, and the “When Is A Movie Just A Movie” title card had Han Solo about to shoot himself.
** In the ''Phantom'' commentary, Tim makes a joke about Prince's death (who had just died the afternoon of filming) and Doug and Beth both tell him "too soon!".
** In ''Old Vs New: Cinderella'' around the same time, Hyper misinterprets Critic's statement that "Sometmes a prince leaves no impact on you whatsoever" (referring to the prince from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'') and his later reference to the animated ''Cinderella'' prince having "A shit-ton of eyeliner" as a dig at the artist Prince, and tells him "too soon" both times.

* The behind the scenes of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax'' review had Rob asking why Doug why he is so mean-spirited to Once-ler {{fangirl}}s, [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Loki]] fangirls and his own.

* His reaction to the "Institute for Sexually Molested Children" scene from ''Film/FreddyGotFingered''. [[UpToEleven Understandably so, as it actually makes him]] ''[[UpToEleven disappear]]'' [[UpToEleven briefly.]]

* NC took "Dude, Not Funny!" UpToEleven in his ''Film/{{North}}'' review when he referred to a joke about Governor Ho's wife being barren as "the worst thing ever uttered by humans," going on to call the film "pure evil."

* Brought up in ''Film/TheRoom'' review, after Johnny laughs at Mark's story about [[DomesticAbuse a man who beat up his girlfriend.]]
-->"Ha ha ha, that's not funny, you sick fuck."

-->'''Rebecca:''' You just gotta think about it like the first time you got laid. You just gotta go, “Daddy, are you sure this is right?”

* In his ''Film/TheRoom'' review, the Critic is baffled that Johnny laughts at Mark's story about a woman beaten up by one of her boyfriends upon finding out of her many lovers.

* A joke not being funny was turned into the joke in his review of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' when an episode has Webby paint herself up to look like a penguin, complete with painting her face black. Cue Doug visibly straining to avoid grabbing the literal "MINSTREL SHOW JOKE" that was hovering over his head before flying away.

'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Okay, that was a little disturbing--\\

'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Okay, that was a little dark humor, I mean it's nothing--\\

'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Okay, okay, let's just move on!\\

* The Nostalgia Critic has one of these reactions in his review for ''Film/TankGirl''.
-->'''Nostalgia Critic:''' Wow, that was offensive ''and'' unfunny. [[TakeThat It's like a female]] Creator/JeffDunham.

--> "But hey, I'm sure that's a lot of people had when they went through- ''Ooh, dammit! You almost made make a joke about it!''"

** His joke about Splinter's VA sounding like a chain-smoker in ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' (2007). It was {{Creator/Mako}} Iwamatsu, who had died of throat cancer before the movie was released, and the movie was ''dedicated to his memory''. He apologized, mentioning he was completely unaware of any of it, and he's made a gag of walking on eggshells around his earlier roles, like in ''Film/{{Sidekicks}}''. He even honors the guy in his review of ''Film/PearlHarbor''.
** In the initial version of his ''Ernest Saves Christmas'' review, he told a joke about autism as a pot-shot to the puppet show's quality. He considers this a bigger mishap than screwing up basic math, and later edited it out because he found it too offensive.

** The ''Film/{{Ponyo}}'' review has him try his hardest not to make fun of [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents then-recent events in Japan]] whenever tsunamis and flooding are brought up.

** In ''Old Vs New: Cinderella'' around the same time, Hyper misinterprets Critic's statement that "Sometmes a prince leaves no impact on you whatsoever" (referring to the prince from ''Cinderella'') and his later reference to the animated ''Cinderella'' prince having "A shit-ton of eyeliner" as a dig at the artist Prince, and tells him "too soon" both times.

* Doug has something of a HeelRealization about all the jokes he's made at the expense of ''Film/PatchAdams'' once Carin is murdered, as he fears he's been mocking someone who was killed in real life since the movie was VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory. After quickly Googling it and learning that not only was the person who Carin was based on a completely different [[GenderFlip man]] in real life, but that the movie was shamelessly disrespecting the man (who actually was murdered in real life under different circumstances) by changing his character so much to make something of a LoveInterest out of him and tacking on a cheap RapeAsBackstory onto her largely fictional character for drama, he flips out and has this reaction about the movie.
--> '''Doug:''' BAD MOVIE! THAT'S A BAD, BAD MOVIE!! I AM SO ASHAMED OF YOU!! BAD MOVIE!!

* His reaction to the "Institute for Sexually Molested Children" scene from ''Film/FreddyGotFingered''. [[UpToEleven Understandably so]].

->'''Chester A. Bum:''' You really think all of my mental problems is because I was an alien, huh?\\

* In the review of ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'', Chester A. Bum (a homeless man with mental problems) gets really upset at Creator/StephenKing's constant use of NeurodiversityIsSupernatural, here represented by Duddits, the psychic {{Manchild}} with Down Syndrome who may or may not be also an alien.
