Dethroning Moment / The Mysterious Mr. Enter

Go To

What we've seen is wrong, we know it's wrong, so we're gonna post it here anyway!

The Mysterious Mr. Enter has a Broken Base when it comes to his videos, and these moments do nothing to help that. Whether by poor research, poor speeches or hypocrisy, these are Animated Atrocities, Admirable Animations, and MLP reviews that not even Mr. Enter's biggest fans can stomach. Heck, oftentimes Enter himself wishes some these moments didn't exist.

  • Moments only, no "just everything he said", "the entire episode", or "this entire work," entries.
  • No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
  • No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
  • Explain why it's a Dethroning Moment of Suck.

Season One:

  • Willie Manga: One moment that isn't exactly popular is his overreaction to the Egghead joke in Bubsy: "Don't you dare remind me of a quality joke from a quality cartoon ever again!" He was referring to the new MLP for some reason, and I can see why people don't like this. How does calling someone an egghead relate specifically to MLP? Was that a thing in the show? Non-bronies won't understand what he is talking about. If Mr. Enter was talking about... like, Sonic SatAM, it would make more sense. And it would have made his reaction towards the Olsen Twins wishing for a pony funnier instead of feeling like he was jumping the shark. I mean, what did you expect, Mr. Enter? Bubsy was made long before MLP had quality control. I feel it is just a confusing moment of an otherwise decent review.
  • DeltaJuli: People think that Mr. Enter was at his worst to Spongebob's writers in his Pet Sitter Pat review. But to me personally, his ending to his "Stuck In The Wringer" review is far worse. He calls them "poor excuses for humanity" while straight up going into bullying territory, telling them they "can thank their lucky stars every day" that they even got their jobs in the first place, and that if they "keep writing this trite shit" nobody is going to want to hire them. ...What? All of this for a joke moral.
  • Danny Lightning Lightner: My Dethroning Moment comes from his review of "Everyone Knows It's Bendy," doubling as Harsher in Hindsight. In the review, he defends Lauren Faust basically by saying, "Oh well, she's done so much other great work, so I can't fault her for writing a bad episode here and there, she's only human." Which is a fairly mature and open-minded thing to say. The dethroning moment comes in with the hypocrisy of his attitude towards Lauren Faust; he doesn't give this same type of forgiving treatment towards other people in the animation industry, like Casey Alexander, Zeus Cervas, and Richard Pursel, whom he's repeatedly and personally bashed in his reviews and referred to as "sociopaths" on multiple occasions. Specifically, he accused Zeus Cervas of condoning animal abuse in his review of "A Pal for Gary." Possibly his worst offense is from his original review of "The Splinter," in which he says, word for word, this statement about writers Nate Cash, Sean Charmatz, and Steve Banks: "These people do not deserve to have jobs. They deserve to be fired immediately, and blacklisted." Let that sink in- he wants people to lose their livelihoods because they wrote episodes of a show he doesn't like. The dethroning moment from "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" is a result of Enter completely judging other artists/writers for their involvement with less-than-stellar episodes of certain shows, unaware that they have produced much better work before and after. His hypocrisy is astounding and nauseating. Enter's constant and vitriolic bashing of specific artists and writers working in the animation industry actually makes Enter's desire to get a job working in said industry laughable at best- with Enter's horrible reputation as someone who constantly belittles and insults people, there's next to no chance of that happening. Enter has effectively blacklisted himself from the animation industry with his attitude.
  • Michael Sar: Look, I agree that "One Coarse Meal" is a lousy episode, but Mr. Enter's first review of it is, in my opinion, one of the worst reviews he's ever done. The Draco in Leather Pants-ing of Plankton and whining that whales don't eat plankton was annoying enough, but the part of the review that I hate the most is when Mr. Enter, after SpongeBob says that stepping on Plankton would fly in the face of his good nature, goes into a whiny rant about how Spongebob has no good nature and how he's an evil sociopath bent on ruining the life of Squidward. If Mr. Enter actually watched any of the episodes that he brings up, he'd know that SpongeBob, while not immune from being thrown the Jerkass Ball, IS a genuinely nice guy, and he DOES mean well in episodes like "House Fancy" and "Cephalopod Lodge", the problems he causes Squidward are out of stupidity rather than malice. In fact, sometimes he and Patrick will even feel guilty for causing Squidward trouble and try to fix their mistakes ("Good Neighbors" and the aforementioned "Cephalopod Lodge"), even if their efforts fail. He even brings up one episode ("Tentacle-Vision") where SpongeBob isn't even at fault for Squidward failing!note 
  • "Seahorse Seashell Party"
    • Phantom Dusclops 92: My DMoS is this review, for too many reasons. First, he complains about the cutaways saying that they're pointless fillers that bring nothing to the plot. Except he often does that in his reviews too (just in this one, he inserts the "Filler time" scene from Nostalgia Critic, and in many others, he does it with other stuff, including the always popular "bringing My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic in the discussion because a character in the cartoon he's reviewing just mentioned ponies")! Then he does a second pointless gag that is actually heinous for the review: the "I'm going to break some windows during this scene" part, which means that during the whole scene of Brian telling Meg that she should accept to be the family's lightning rod we hear the sound of breaking glass covering the dialogue, making for us impossible to hear what they are saying since the clip's volume is already very low on its own! Someone who never saw that episode could even imagine that what Brian said is completely different, and Enter made up stuff to complain about. And at the end, he thought that Stewie's "go behind the library and get some drugs" advice at the end was to be taken seriously. Seriously, did he expect good aesops from a Black Humor show? And actually, I thought that the acid trip sequence was the only good part from that episode, and he despises that too.
  • Anyones Master: I disowned him after his DeviantArt post where he pretty much said anyone who made a response video to him is a loser who wastes his time, but the first actual review of his that I genuinely found to be flawed was his review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, where many of his complaints about the movie felt so spite-driven and were plain inaccurate at times just because he didn't like it. For instance, he really exaggerates how bad the song "Ordinary Miracles" is. Yeah, dude, it's not a great song, but it's not like Tom Hulce's voice is cracking or he's barely holding a tune. Next, he questions Quasimodo knowing what rosemary is despite living in a bell tower all his life, even though Hunchback 2 takes place nine years (judging by how old Zephyr appears to be) after Frollo's death, leaving Quasi to freely move about the city and giving him ample time to discover things like rosemary. Hell, he doesn't even need to leave the bell tower for that because rosemary is often used in French cuisine anyway. His complaint about the gypsies performing while the circus is in town is also incredibly stupid. No Enter, if there was a string of robberies at the circus, then that'd be a perfect opportunity for the gypsies to perform. Because, ya know, they're the only option left now.

Season Two:

  • SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Pet Sitter Pat":
  • Breadwinners:
    • Wayward Totodile: For me, it was when he tried the "totally discouraged and needs a reassuring speech from a friend/mentor to continue" cliche... and it falls flat on its face - it drags the episode down, it's there for way too long and feels completely unnecessary.
    • Blue Guy: On a different note, I agree. He just goes on and on about how the creators are hacks, sees rape-y undertones where there are none, forces in unfunny sketches (most notably a brief bit where he pretends to be Nickelodeon, which does nothing but reinforce his hatred for the show's creators for... daring to make it, I guess), acts hypocritical at least once (chastising the writers for putting in a reference that children won't get, and shortly thereafter suggesting that they reference the Konami Code - which most children also won't get), and generally sounds way too angry. The worst part of it - the part that efficiently summarizes why I really don't like him at all - is his looooong rant against Nickelodeon when he discovers that the show did very well with its target audience. The entire thing makes him sound like he honestly can't understand that children's tastes change with time and that not all of them share his views on Comedic Sociopathy. And the icing on top? Near the end, he "realizes" that Nickelodeon will probably never see his videos and starts ranting that "there's no hope." Does the state of children's animation really matter that much to you?
    • RNotte: I hate this video, and given Mr. Enter’s recent countdown of his worst videos, I don’t even think he himself likes the video. It’s a showcase of Past Enter at his worst: elitism, poor editing and audio, bashing the people behind the show, calling its fans stupid, nostalgia poisoning (“old cartoons good, new cartoons bad”), wishing the characters would die, and implying that the future of entertainment is bleak and hopeless because this cartoon exists. Look, I’m not a fan of Breadwinners myself, but this review made Enter sound like a political commentator who drums up fake outrage, creating a demonized target, while pretending to care about “the children.” And that’s a recurring theme throughout many of his past AA episodes. To be fair, the aforementioned “Top 10 Worst Mr. Enter Videos” is one of my favorites of his videos because it takes real courage to admit you screwed up in the past, apologize for it, and make amends. Wherever Mr. Enter goes next, I hope it’ll be far away from this disaster of a review.

  • bigbunny: For me, it’s his atrocious Cars 2 review, while I am fully aware that the film isn’t exactly Pixar’s best film, his review of it was still garbage. He still manages to get aspects of the film wrong, and his hatred toward the film seems incredibly mean-spirited by the amount of times he keeps calling it a toy commercial despite the fact that it isn’t a toy commercial, John Lasseter himself said so numerous times, I’m more inclined to believe Lasseter than Enter on this subject. And that sting at the end where he compares the film to those awful Equestria Girls movies was the ultimate dethroning moment of suck.

  • iansimsjam: For me, it was Ren Seeks Help. While it is understandable why he would hate the episode, he forgot to talk about the high-quality animation. Why review an animated cartoon without talking about the animation? It seems that story is the only thing important to Mr. Enter when it comes to a cartoon. The fact that he doesn't mention one bit of the well-constructed drawings or beautiful backgrounds is a sign of Mr. Enter's closed-mindedness. It's funny how Mr. Enter would criticize these beautifully drawn cartoons and yet draw like a five-year-old on his deviant art page. His criticism of John K. and Rich Pursel were obvious attempts at character assassination. Can Mr. Enter make a better cartoon than John K.? Food for thought.

Season Three:

  • Peteman: His "Nobody Doesn't Like TJ" [Recess]'' episode fails to explain why Gordy not liking TJ is so problematic. I haven't seen the episode, so I can only really go on what he showed, but it seems less like Gordy hates TJ for no reason, he just has a hard time articulating his dislike for him. If Gordy was shown to be going out of his way to bother or harass TJ (and if he did, the clips Enter showed did not showcase this), I could understand why Enter could be so judgmental of Gordy's behavior, but instead, it's TJ who is going out of his way to bother Gordy.
  • Dexter's Laboratory episode "Jeepers Creepers Where Is Peepers":
    • Captain Lhurgoyf: He objects to the villain being drawn in an Animesque art style because "Dexter's Lab never had anything to do with anime." Uh... what? From the beginning, Dexter's Laboratory was strongly influenced by anime - not in terms of art style, granted, but certainly in terms of thematic and storytelling elements; hell, there was an episode where Dexter used a Humongous Mecha to fight a Kaiju! I love Mr. Enter, but for an expert on animation, no less one who happens to be a fan of Dexter's Lab, that mistake is unforgivable.
    • Trock 64: And let's not forget the one episode where Dexter and Dee Dee turn into Kaiju themselves!
  • Luna Veg 87: I didn't think any episode of Mr. Enter's could have aggravated me as much as "The Substitute," but he managed to outdo himself with his "Everything is Offensive" video that premiered in December 2018. It was basically a perfect storm of lecturing other critics who call out media with problematic implications and regurgitating the talking points of the right-wing/reactionary side of YouTube that I've been hearing since 2015 (likening criticism to demands for censorship and claiming that representation of minorities is a no-win situation because some people might criticize it either way), but what bothered me the most about it was his complaints about people being offended by the Rankin-Bass Rudolph special because of the cruel way the main character is treated by his peers, his parents, and every adult in the special. It annoyed me because it was coming from the same person who had a hissy fit over "Putting Your Hoof Down" because Fluttershy was mean to her friends (even though her losing her temper and blowing up at her friends and subsequently having to learn her lesson was the entire point of the episode). Not only that but considering he's criticized other cartoons that feature bullying and parental abuse, it comes off like Rudolph only gets a pass from him because of Nostalgia Goggles.
  • Every Other Handle Is Taken: There are a few, but the most disgustingly uninformed one is in his "Herpe The Love Sore" review when denies that American soldiers who do despicable things are defended for it because they're soldiers. There were examples of him being wrong even at the time, but another more recent example prompted me to post this.
    Do you think anyone condones their actions? On the base, at home, whatever.
 Um, yes Enter, I do.
When people hear of soldiers going psycho, they're condemned beyond all belief. Even the biggest supporters of the military condemn them beyond all belief, if anything, because assholes like this make the military look bad.
 Some do, others try to raise money for their defense and sell t-shirts about that say they should be freed. What was it Enter said in that same rant about needing to do research?

Season Four:

  • Vexer: For me, it was his review of "Screams of Silence". I already found him rather grating with his annoying ranting about adult animation "copying" South Park (which is total bullshit, most adult animated shows were more likely influenced by The Simpsons than anything else) and his irritating shouting and incessant preaching in all his Family Guy reviews where he insults anyone who dares to actually laugh at the show. But this review really cemented the fact that he is terrible at reviewing Family Guy (I may disagree with his negative SpongeBob reviews, but at least he came across as more reasonable in those) and should just give it up already. The biggest problem I have with his review is that he thinks that just because Family Guy has some fucked up humor that it's not allowed to tackle a serious issue (and I have a hard time believing his talk about statistics on the subject being unreliable, considering he gets several facts wrong in many of his reviews). I, for one, thought it did a good job of tackling the issue of domestic violence head-on.
  • Return of Slade:
    • AmazingAnagram: For me, it has to be this review. Most of his criticism seems to be that the show apparently fucked over fans of the original Teen Titans as if it hadn't already for the past two years and further shoved it in their face that they've grown too old to be obsessing over children's cartoons. Mr. Enter specifically makes the argument that you can be a child forever by holding on to the things that made your childhood great. It's true in some aspects that nostalgia can be a good thing, but it shouldn't be the entire basis of one's adult life. One can have as great a childhood as you want, but eventually, they're going to be an adult; they're going to need to go to work, pay bills, and make a living. There still are people that can grasp onto their childhood and become the next Walt Disney or Dr. Seuss, but they need actual talent and education to do so. He's basically saying that any low-life can make it into the animation industry, no matter their level of experience or, God forbid, education. (Eek! My hair raises at just the thought of it!) He boasts about having watched Courage the Cowardly Dog and Samurai Jack in his childhood and still refuses to take criticism about his Growing Around series with the mindset that it will absolutely be approved by a network or have an overwhelmingly positive impression on people. Secondly, he implies that edgy reboots cannot work. Yeah, no edgy reboot has ever been successful. Also, he assumes that absolutely everyone loves shows like My Little Pony, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Star vs. the Forces of Evil. They might be the best TV shows ever, but I can't agree because A) not everybody likes those shows (quality is subjective), B) he's not even in the target audience for these shows and it's not his duty to decide how good or bad they are for children (he's not even breaking any social barriers by liking them), and C) he needs to realize that cartoons aren't the most important thing in his life. It's weird how Chris-chan gets berated for holding on to her childhood, but when Mr. Enter does it, he's treated as a fucking hero. Not to mention with all this in mind, this is his 5th review of TTG. I think he's beating a dead horse with this review, pardon the apparent MLP reference.
    • starofjusticev21: I haven't been able to stomach much of Enter's videos for a long time now, but that particular video was about what did it for me too. Mainly, it was how the pretense broke off Enter doing a channel meant to entertain, with the way it cemented how Enter takes things about cartoons way too personally. Let me say first that like Enter, I watch shows that realistically I'm too old for, but I try to always keep in mind that I'm a bonus audience member. Yeah, it can be fun to discuss what I like or don't like with other fans, but any big analysis I did about how a kids cartoon didn't cater to the tastes of a childless adult should be taken with a big grain of salt. When Enter took personal offense at the Return of Slade episode and made a bunch of defenses about why it's okay to do what he does, he didn't even seem to realize he was proving what the episode said right by getting offended by it. Plus, it was the latest of several videos he did on TTG, pushing back against episodes made to respond to the show's critics, indicating Enter didn't realize he was letting himself be baited or didn't care. That video confirmed once and for all in my mind that Enter wasn't doing these analysis videos primarily to amuse people like most caustic Youtube reviewers. These are all his unfiltered thoughts done in total seriousness. I didn't want to be involved with his unhealthy fixation anymore.
  • Rocket Monkeys:
    • FromtheWordsofBR: Pretty much all of his review is him complaining about how he dislikes getting requests, how he caved into reviewing this purely on requests alone, and the fact that he has virtually nothing to work with because Rocket Monkeys is just another clone of Fanboy and Chum Chum, with a review slapped onto it somewhere. If that's so, then just ignore the requests you get for that; yes, you mentioned on DeviantArt that if you didn't review it, the amount of requests you'd get might've caused you to "leeveryothergitimately snap," but it's better to tune them out than to make a pointless video, especially since Rocket Monkeys is just dull as opposed to horrible. And yes, getting requests over and over is annoying, but anybody with a large fanbase like yours is bound to get tons of requests! Your life is probably a relief compared to the amount of requests that people like The Nostalgia Critic get. And finally, if this video was made to demonstrate why you don't do requests, why bother making the review in the first place? It's very clear you didn't want to do it due to how little you could work with it, so why did you spend all this effort on a video you knew wouldn't be good in the first place? It's not like your fans (well, most of them) are trying to hold you at gunpoint; this is your channel, after all. At least he remade it later on into a much better review.
    • TS Rival: The hypocrisy is strong with this one, but what I can't stand more is one of the comments to the video. It was a polite, albeit very blunt comment about the aforementioned hypocrisy for the first three sentences. Afterwards, it's about how Enter's slipped from what he once was and that he's prone to not take criticism. It seems like at least some effort went into that comment, but Enter's response was, word by word: "Because like a 100 people wanted me to review THIS particular episode." I have two problems with this one. One is that he answered the question of "If you don't take requests, why don't you just ignore them?" with "Because people wanted it." Two is that he completely ignored the majority of the comment that was a criticism on him. Between taking requests despite not wanting to and ignoring the criticisms of others, it really feels like Enter is just trying to surround himself with people who love him and his work and shut out anyone who has anything slightly mean to say about him. For a critic, this is a terrible mentality and for his sake, I really hope it doesn't persist.
    • Ender Pixel: You know what I think would be better? Mr. Enter doing the EXACT SAME SCRIPT for the Fanboy and Chum Chum video, to show how similar it is, and put how much he hated that request. THEN make a video about the requests soon- don't force it into a review.
  • 12 oz. Mouse
    • whunt4: His review was disgraceful. Not only was it not the review for the episode for which he provided a notecard, but he spent most of the episode ranting about how it didn't work as postmodernism. Mr. Enter's knowledge of postmodernism as given in the review seems cursory at best, and he jumped to assumptions in assuming the work was postmodernism rather than Stylistic Suck. That's not to say I'm defending 12 oz. Mouse, but I am saying this particular review was poorly researched and based on false understanding of a certain concept.
    • Rebeccaokay: I'm absolutely going to defend 12 oz. Mouse, it's personally one of the greatest, most hilarious, most interesting shows I've ever watched. But this video has nothing to do with my differing opinions on the show, no, it's how he went about doing it. Mr. Enter has never actually cared to watch all of 12 oz. Mouse. That might not seem that bad, I mean it's a show he dislikes, but 12 oz. Mouse is a PLOT DRIVEN show. Not only that but one that is an incredibly slow burn and takes a while to get genuinely into its plot. Mr. Enter clearly has put effort into watching more than one episode of slow burn animated dramedies - BoJack Horseman is one of his favourite shows of all time, so what makes 12 oz. Mouse different? You could say it's the art style, but he explicitly states in the video that shows can have bad art styles and be good— saying Don Hertzfeldt and South Park are examples of this, but then he just continues to rag the art style for all of the video. It's a dreadful misunderstanding of a great and underrated show, and it irks me every time I try to watch it.
  • Drawn Together:
    • T Vsir 13: I'd like to nominate this movie review as my DMoS, for it was after this review that I unsubbed. For starters, he says prologues are pointless. Right... because this one movie has a terrible prologue, all of a sudden ALL prologues cannot be done effectively and are therefore useless. Logic? What's that? Another thing that got under my skin was his near-constant levels of yelling. Seriously, he's giving SammyClassicSonicFan a run for his money, and at least SCSF was pre-pubescent. Mr. Enter is in his 20s. If a cartoon angers you this much, get some professional help. Then he says porn shouldn't have a story. Two things: 1. What does this have to do with the movie? 2. You're asexual. You're not one to talk about things like this. Finally, he says: "Just because you put a laugh track over a terrorist attack doesn't make it funny." Uh, yeah, not everyone has the same sense of humor as you. I am not ashamed to admit I find 9/11 jokes funny, among other things. It's a Giggle at the Ghostie type of humor. By mocking them, they lose their power, in a sense. It's kind of fitting that the "worst thing he'll ever review" is his worst review yet.
    • GojiBiscuits: I have much the same opinion - as someone who is taking a degree in Creative Writing, one of the very first things you're taught when it comes to writing and producing reviews is to never act like the piece of media you're viewing is personally out to get you. If it's bad, it's bad, and vice versa - it's not tailor-made to please/piss you off. In this video, Enter acts as if the movie itself was made specifically to hurt him, and it gets grating extremely fast.
  • Nightfurywitch: I have mixed opinions on Mr. Enter. I'm super nostalgic for his early stuff, and I admit I do agree with some of his points, but nowadays, a mix of his political views and failure to research on his part has driven me away from him. But even back when I liked his videos, there was one example that bugged me to no end. His review of Kung Fu Dino Posse, a show I'm personally attached to. While I'll be the first to admit it's not a perfect show, he seemed to ENTIRELY miss that it was a parody of the TMNT style of "animal teens fight crime" show that was big in the 80s and had a revival in the 2000s. It's notably jokey, and even one of his critiques, why don't the dinosaurs always just use their superfused form, is even something the show itself lampshaded! I know compared to some of his other opinions it's nowhere near as bad, but this was where his first cracks really started to show IMO.
  • "Top 20 Worst Animated Theme Songs":
    • Eternity Of Spirits: Why I loved most this, his #8 pick of the dubbed version of the Rurouni Kenshin reeked. Mr. Enter didn't like the singer and felt she couldn't sing. Okay, that's fine, but he completely ignores the actual series to see if the song actually fits, going off third-hand information about the setting without realizing the actual plot, or that the song was largely the same in Japanese to claim it was misrepresenting an action series as Slice of Life. What's more, he notes that the song, being directly translated, would likely suffer from a wonky translation... then proceeds to rag on some lyrics anyway. Also, he mispronounces "Ronin".
    • Docyoshi: So he names Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! as the worst theme song of all time. Okay, understandable. The song is obnoxious and it's Enter's list so he can list want he wants as #1. But that's not the moment; go back to his Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2000's video where he puts this show at number 7. The problem is that in THAT list, he also spends most of his time trashing on the theme song. And when the subject of the show comes up, he barely glossed over it. Acting like he couldn’t understand what was going on he's prone to doing with a given element of a show (Where he is all “Wha? Why is that in this?”). Enter, if you hate the show so much, maybe you should actually review an episode? Because so far, it just seems you hate it because it checks off your Pet-Peeve Trope list for theme songs. Now it’s just a part of the franchise’s Audience-Alienating Era and has moved on. The fact he spent so much time trashing the theme song in the original list when he should have devoted more time to explain what was wrong with the show itself (even if it boiled down to being a Scooby-Doo show In Name Only) means when he got to the video actually devoted to bad theme songs he was repeating himself and was just wasting everyone’s time.
    • SWF Max: Enter says, "I have 3 words: the Pac is back." However, that's false; "the Pac is back" is 4 words. Come on, Enter; it's not difficult to count how many words there are.

Season Five:

  • Dr Zulu 2010: I watched the commentary on him by Doodletones, and his Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy review can be summed up as "Mr. Enter indulging us on his Seth MacFarlane hate-boner to the point of throwing logic away". I have no problems with him hating on Seth MacFarlane (I'm not a fan of the guy's style of humor and thought that his cutaway gags are nothing but filler), but his complaints on this series of skits borders on Insane Troll Logic. For example, he calls a skit about Super Mario decent but since it's on SM's CCC, it doesn't count, and supports this by saying that other short cartoons made the things shown on the skits funnier, even though said cartoons came out after the skits. He believes that, because he doesn't get the jokes, there aren't any (even though humor and jokes are subjective) and misses the point of many of the jokes, like the "Scotsman" skit where he says that the joke is "This accent is funny! Laugh at the accent!" where the meat of the joke is actually the Scotsman shouting at the movie Tootsie, and the "Asshole Beaver" skit where he says that the joke is "They say vagina a lot! Laugh damn you!", even though the joke is that "beaver" is a slang for "vagina" (granted, the joke still falls flat since the beaver is acting like an asshole where he should behave more like a "pussy", which is a slang for vagina). I like some of his reviews, but he should really stop reviewing Seth MacFarlane's works for a while, since he can't pop a blood vessel for all his rage.
  • Literal Novice: His needless incessant rambling aside, there is one moment in his review of "Brian's a Bad Father" that stuck out to me like a sore thumb, which was his overreaction to the gag about slitting wrists. It seems like he's under the assumption that a 14 year old is going to watch it and know how to slit their wrists like soccer moms whining that kids playing Grand Theft Auto is going to turn them into murderers. The people that watch Family Guy would be more likely to mock cutters than become one themselves. And even if a depressed 14 year old did come across this scene, I highly doubt it would start them cutting. I was a depressed 14 year old once and I came across images on the internet making similar jokes, and that didn't make me want to grab a razor. If anything, it made me not want to cut myself because of how pathetic it seemed. If Steven Universe or Adventure Time made a joke like this, it would be callous and gross, but it's quite in line with Family Guy's sense of humor. His anger over an edgy joke is honestly kind of pathetic and even a little bit insulting to insinuate that 14 year olds can't differentiate between fiction and reality.
  • "Little Clowns of Happytown"
    • Neonyoshi 150: My DMoS is in the review where Mr. Enter spent much of the episode complaining about the Strawbot, I mean, advertiser friendly bot, about how anytime he says something "offensive", the bot complains. So much time is wasted on these boring segments and the complaints make no sense. Mr. Enter will say one or two sentences about the cartoon, then have several more sentences about the bot's complaints. I know he's trying to make a point about The Wall Street Journal and their current coverage of YouTube, but it just drags on and on. When Mr. Enter ignores the bot and actually reviews the cartoon, the review becomes way more bearable. I thought his speech about how horribly the cartoon portrayed disabled people was really good. But then he brings up as bot again, and it goes downhill fast. I left the video as soon as he brought up PewDiePie. What would have been an interesting video talking about how shows often portray disabled people, instead was bogged down by boring Strawmen.
    • Kamon The Skunk: While I can agree with most of what Mr Enter said about, I just can't bring myself to agree with him when he criticized the show's ending where he felt the message was "Disabled people can do everything normal people can do." Normally it would make sense for people to agree with him because, yes, most disabled people aren't capable of doing everything that people without disabilities can. But my gripe is the fact that it was not the message of the episode. The only disabled people that are featured in this episode are people that are confined to wheelchairs. Mr Enter took the episode's end message and felt that it was referring to all disabled people, when it clearly was not. Now if the episode featured people with different disabilities, I could agree with him and his criticism at the end, but since that is not the case, I believe he's being hypocritical. He mentioned that he also has a disability, specifically Asperger Syndrome so he knows what it's like. Heck, I have Asperger's too, but as I've said, since the episode he reviewed only had disabled people in wheelchairs and nothing else, his speech doesn't have any merit to it. Don't get me wrong, I still like a lot of his other videos, but if he can't observe everything in the show to get its message right, I have to eventually draw the line.
    • CLCN: Also, the fact that he seems to think Asperger's is a disability or a mental illness when it is neither. He says this in a lot of his videos where mental illnesses or disabilities come up as if they are all the same and he can totally relate. No, Mr. Enter. You have a condition. There is a difference.
  • Captain Tedium: I used to be okay with Mr. Enter, but hearing about some of his infamous habits (such as lashing out on specific writers just because they wrote bad episodes and making a big deal out of cartoons not being done the way he prefers) made me become more and more reluctant to continue watching his videos. I finally decided that I was finished with him for good after watching his Animated Atrocity "Cartoon Network in 2017". He did raise many good points in the video, like how networks should prioritize the quality of their shows over how profitable the show's merchandise is and that constantly airing a show to the detriment of the other programs would get irritating even if it was a well-regarded one, but the whole thing still came off as Enter going into yet another of his irksome rants about how cartoons should be done the way he likes them and that the people involved in cartoons he dislikes are terrible people. What really annoyed me the most, however, was how this Animated Atrocity was devoted to attacking an entire network as opposed to a specific maligned animated work. I can accept that there are some shows you don't like, Enter, and I despise Teen Titans Go! as much as you do, but I find saying a network has fallen from grace simply because you don't like most of the shows currently airing to be a bit out of proportion and it gives the impression of the ever so annoying Nostalgia Filter mindset.

Season Six:

  • HeavyWeaponsPie: His Robotboy review, for instance, he totally disregards several important elements of the show like the villains, Robotboy's superactive mode and perhaps worst of all, never getting into the fact the show is an action show. It wouldn't be a surprise if he didn't even watch all the series and yet, talks like he knows all about it, like his El Tigre review as someone noted above. He has absolutely no right to assume he knows better then something if he hasn't watched a good amount of the series. It must really suck to be a fan of an obscure show when a big name talks about it, only just to screw it up, get information wrong or flatout disregard several parts of it and taint people's perceptions of the show and screw it over.
  • Ramone 490: While I am a casual fan of Mr. Enter's, one moment that I found really petty and pathetic was when he put Shrek as a dishonorable mention in his "Top 11 Worst Animation Cliches". He put a good movie as a terrible animation cliche because it inspired lesser-quality products. Yeah, that seems fair. That is like hating on The LEGO Movie and Wreck-It Ralph for indirectly inspiring The Emoji Movie. This moment is even more infuriating when he directly references how "Seinfeld Is Unfunny in the next video. I can understand if he is not a big fan of the movie. But it definitely seems unfair to consider the whole movie as a terrible animation cliche because it introduced some annoying trends. Especially when said trends are mostly harmless nitpicks.
    • Vanilla Lime: Another problem with Mr. Enter's Top 11 Worst Cliches can be found in his honorable mentions, specifically the very first one of "All animated movies must be 3D unless they're based on a TV show!" How is the choice to make an animated movie 3D or 2D considered a "cliche"? Just because you like handdrawn animation more than computer generated animation doesn't make the choice to animate in a 3D style cliche, period. Look, I like 2D animation as much as the next animation lover, but his complaining about most animated movies being 3D nowadays in honorable mentions was stupid and made Mr. Enter come off as one of those obnoxious animation fans who thinks 3D animation can never be as unique and lifelike as 2D animation when there has been evidence of the contrary like Rango and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
  • Melancholy Utopia: I removed my previous entry to make one for The Emoji Movie. I know nothing about the movie except the little I saw in his review before closing the video down in disappointment. Now, I've long before unsubscribed to him because of his consistent roaring anger over things that are relatively trivial. But then, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt by checking out this review... after all, the movie has been universally panned. To my own surprise, what made me annoyed with him was not his ranting (at first), but his comment about Just Dance being a clone of DanceDance Revolution. Hold. The. Phone. They are nothing alike. Are you saying it's a clone merely because it's a dance game? Then we might as well say all other racing games are copies of Mario Kart because it popularized racing games, or Cuphead being a copy of "[insert random platform title here]"... that's not how it works! A clone is an exact copy of something else, and that's something JD is not. DDR uses a dancing mat and arrows which slide over the screen vertically, telling you which platform to step on; JD does not use a mat, it uses a camera and has anthropomorphic figurines telling you which dance moves to make, and they slide over the screen horizontally. Both games have their own individuality, and just because of them being the same genre it doesn't make the other a rip-off! Sorry, I may be going overboard with this, but it just felt like that, for being such a thorough reviewer, he just took one look at JD and decided it was a copy, which is astoundingly hypocritical of him. Then when he started raising his voice and getting his panties twisted in a bunch further in the video over something minuscule, it was a reminder of why I had unsubscribed in the first place. Sorry, Enter, but that was the last straw. I wont be watching your videos ever again.
    • Thefreepup: I have to agree with you there because I felt like he was getting too angry in this review over one "bad" movie, to the point where it turned me off (and what you said back there made me suspect that he only called Just Dance a DanceDance Revolution ripoff so that he can find more things to complain about in this film). Done differently, this review could have been fairly decent and funny (his review on Elf Bowling The Movie had me howling with laughter). Here, it feels like he's shouting and rambling on for too long, to the point where I got very annoyed and bored and decided that I'm never watching his review on The Emoji Movie ever again.
  • Hissing Rooster: The moment when I really started to lose respect for Mr. Enter is his video “Extra Credits - Political and Hypocritical.” When I was a young teenager and didn’t know any better, I used to really like Enter— politics included. But as I’ve matured, I’ve realized that Mr. Enter’s political views are at best ignorant (his numerous videos on Political Correctness Is Evil) and at worst outright dangerous (his promotion of COVID misinformation). It wasn’t really one thing that made me stop respecting his opinion, but this video really marked the beginning of the end. Mr. Enter’s thesis in this video is essentially “keep politics out of art”. While I don’t completely agree with Extra Credit’s point, they are broadly correct that media has the capacity to shape people’s understanding of people, events, and ideas; and all art is inherently political. However, what Enter seems to think is being said in the episode is that all art is inherently political propaganda for ideas he disagrees with. Which is not what is meant by the phrase "all art is political". What is meant when people say all art is political is that all art contains elements that reflect on the attitudes of the artists and the society that created the artists in some way. One cannot create art in a vacuum independent of the world around us. This is not to say the artists' interpretation of their own art is the only valid interpretation. Death of the Author exists, after all. But DOTA does not mean the author’s attitudes and intent don’t impact their art. It means the art itself should be what's analyzed, not the artist. Enter arguing against this idea poorly not only comes off as uninformed, but also as hypocritical. As he has defended his fixation on criticizing children’s cartoons with the same premises that he is arguing against: that art has the capacity to impart ideas upon the audience that are potentially harmful. It's why he railed against the harmful portrayal of sexual abuse against men. It's why he railed against the portrayal of domestic abuse in FG's "Seahorse Seashell Party". But of course, what Enter means with this episode isn’t “keep politics of our art”—he means “keep your politics out of my art.” He's stated and made explicitly clear that he has no problem with art advancing political positions he personally agrees with. But then he turns around and says “keep politics out of art” when it's politics he disagrees with. It's hypocritical and dishonest.
  • Swashbuckle Mc Hrue: I like Enter for the most part, but one moment I absolutely can't stand is from his atrocity of "Lights Out". It's the part of the video where he gives a lengthy definition of what a radio is and how it's used. His inordinate anger throughout the video makes it difficult to tell whether this is supposed to be a joke or whether Enter actually believes the show creators are as stupid as he says they are. Either way, it's a completely unnecessary time waster that grinds the video to a halt and made me want to shout "Shut the hell up about radios!" at my screen. It's almost as bad as his "Biology lesson" from the Painbow video.
  • Alex Andre: His AA of The Lion King (2019) had me irked since the beginning of the review. Apart from a "getting triggered at the mere mention of Donald Trump" moment (this is why being politically topical should be considered outlawed from here on in), the beginning of the review that I hinted has Enter saying that the movie is so bad that he claims that other controversially topical people of 2020 were behind the film, such as J. K. Rowling, for example. Yeah, last time I checked, the remake did not contain any transphobia or other stuff like that. If you want to properly claim that a movie is so bad, maybe do not launch into a topical rant and compare that to what you're reviewing, because that just makes you sound like a slanderous dickwall.
  • SRG 9001: While otherwise I think Mr. Enter is a good reviewer, even when he has shaped my opinion on many things related to animation, one moment where I could not defend his "logic" there at all was in his review of Minions where he chastised the movie's writers for showing a poster of Richard Nixon with the slogan “Finally someone you can trust” in its 1960s setting, moralizingly saying he gets the joke, but that the younger kids probably won’t. Then good for the writers showing that in the movie; children will need to know who Richard Nixon is especially considering he is a historical figure who has always been studied about in the school system's history classes, and this is coming from someone who found Minions to be intensely both average and forgettable myself. This is especially hypocritical coming from his usually saying he wants kids’ animation to push the envelope, and then gets mad over the movie just showing basic history of a more corrupt in spots U.S. president in a way that is not unfriendly for any kid to watch at all, yet he accuses the Vietnam War protests in the movie to be severely far too tamely depicted, which I agree with, but then he would have rather had the 1960s portrayed in a more both tamed and dumbed down way by just pretending that Nixon didn't exist. I don't think Mr. Enter is as much of a hypocrite as the people who dislike him say he is, but this was one painful to watch exception.

Season Seven:

  • Sakubara: While I can't say I hate Mr. Enter, I wouldn't say I'd like him either. Since while I like analysis as much as the next guy or gal, I'm in the camp that feels that it just drags on and on and its usually Anvilicious if not representing the boring at best and irritating at worst camp of Internet reviewers that think that just spending twenty minutes droning about why something sucks ,but isn't as eloquent as they think is funny. And there's no better example of that than his review of the The Goode Family, with the oh so fun bonus of having him ramble on about his political beliefs. Like I am not here to defend the Goode Family, it's a bad show and I'm also not here to argue about politics. But I feel like that for every point he criticizes the show (some I agree with, others I don't) he has to go on a speech about how far-left liberals sucks (even with some valid criticisms about the left) and it just gets boring after awhile. And again, just annoyingly preachy...all the while criticizing the Soapbox Sadie Granola Girls the show makes fun of. It's not the worst thing it's done, but it's rather Anvilicious "don't be an extremist, especially you lefties!" preaching and is just boring after awhile. Also comparing all liberals to Autism Speaks at the end, what the ever loving hell Enter?!
  • Excelsior 123: I had stopped watching Mr. Enter for a while due to his terrible political opinions, but one day I saw his Little Ellen review recommended on my feed and checked it out due to Bile Fascination. I don't even like Little Ellen either, but this video was still really bad. He claims that the animation and art are bad, but they are probably the most praised aspect of the show. He says that Ellen blends against a white background. Um, I have strabismus and even I can see Ellen perfectly. I think you're just going blind, Enter. Next, he personally insulted the voice actors despite them being children. The worst part of the review was when he claimed that 2021 was the worst year for animation, which is blatantly untrue to the amount of critically acclaimed series and accomplishments amidst the pandemic. He bashed Jellystone! just because it's a Yogi Bear reboot and nothing else. He dissed the Johnny Test reboot because "Johnny Test bad hur dur", even though everyone agrees that the reboot is actually good. He even said that The Ghost and Molly McGee and Centaurworld were the only good shows that year. What's next? Arcane has weird animation? Maya and the Three is racist? Middlemost Post is a SpongeBob ripoff? Invincible (2021) is too bloody? Kid Cosmic is mean-spirited? Give me a break. I'm glad I stopped watching Enter, and I do not look forward to the potential Animated Atrocities on these shows.

Admirable Animation:

  • tentonaraft: For me, it was the Troll video. He starts off by telling anyone who says there's a difference between cyberbullying and trolling to shut up. Also, the sources he cites don't support his case. He also describes driving people to suicide or illegal hacking as trolling. Trolling is just poking at someone for amusement. It isn't hacking into webcams. He has no idea what trolling is.
    • Meek Dazzle: There's also the fact that he said he blocked all the people who said that there is a difference between Cyber-Bullying and Trolling. There's silencing the opposition of an argument, and then there's this.
  • "Homer Badman"
    • Legal Assassin: Up until this and the video following it up, I personally thought that Mr Enter did a good job tackling serious issues with "Screams of Silence" and "Peter-Assment." He knew what he was talking about and addressed the issues with all the seriousness that they deserved. But then came this review and I was raising an eyebrow. He basically demonstrates that he doesn't really know about rape culture (which is made all the more frustrating by his "Peter-Assment" review, which made it clear that he knows about the double standards about women assaulting men), citing the statistics regarding rape as bullshit, asserts that the very imperfect justice system can be trusted, and doesn't seem to realize the stigma against rape victims who don't fit into the "perfect victim" mold. This is best shown when he scoffs at the "men should be taught not to rape" line because everyone already knows not to rape. It ignores the fact that 1) the line was originally a rallying cry against the notion that it's the woman's responsibility to prevent her own rape, as many pamphlets on rape tend to have more detail on how not to be raped than what rape is or what consent is, and 2) while everyone knows what rape is, many have different ideas of what it looks like, the most prevailing being "woman gets dragged screaming into a dark alley by a complete stranger and is raped," and that we should broaden our view of what it is. Overall, while I agree with Enter's point about not jumping to conclusions I feel the argument was one-sided and didn't acknowledge the other side.
    • abby-anne: While the review of Homer Badman was pretty tasteless, the follow-up video was even worse. Within the first few minutes, he acknowledged the elephant in the room - Bill Cosby being accused of rape by tens of women and still being defended - and claimed it was irrelevant because, y'know, he doesn't want to bring politics and current events into a video where he dismisses rape culture. He followed it up by brushing off a plea for him to re-evaluate what he said because it came across as villainizing female rape accusers. He argued that everybody knows that rape and sexual harassment are bad, so we should offer more leeway to the accused, and painted his critics as Straw Feminists. While Mr. Enter had said a few mildly sexist things in the past, this episode was so deeply misogynistic that I haven’t watched anything from him since.
    • Infinity League: I was a pretty big Mr. Enter fan before this point, but his "Homer Badman" review, plus his woefully ignorant "Politix" blogpost (which I won't talk about in detail) made me swear off his show completely. There are so many things wrong with his arguments regarding such a sensitive issue: his constant whining about how false rape accusations are such a problem in our society (in reality, only 30% of rapes get reported because victims are afraid to speak out, and fewer than 2% of those accused rapists actually get convicted - not to mention that it's extremely inaccurate to assume that an accusation is all it takes to convict someone); his assertion that the courts are never wrong and should never be questioned; his assertion that the "sensational news media" always makes people assume the worst of and side against celebrities caught up in scandals (yeah, because it's not like celebrities have huge, blindly devoted fanbases that will defend every horrible thing they do and say - no, not at all) and his overall whiny tone regarding public opinion were all equal parts annoying and mystifying - especially considering how a certain true-crime TV series earlier that same year exposed the true story of how a biased court system, a loyal fanbase, and a sensationalized news media helped a wealthy celebrity get away with literal murder. Enter's comments in this review were cringeworthy enough when he first made it, but the video has aged very poorly in light of the Weinstein Scandal and the rise of the #MeToo Movement, wherein it was revealed to the public just how many high-profile celebrities and statesmen used their power and influence to spend years and even decades getting away with sexual crimes, with they and their loyal followers bullying the victims into secrecy by delegitimizing them as liars and opportunists. Does the media have problems? Of course it does, but that doesn't mean it's okay for you to dismiss everything they say out of hand. Bottom line: Mr. Enter has no idea what he's talking about, and he should be ashamed of himself for being so thoughtless and inconsiderate of those who have suffered from sexual assault.
    • Libraryseraph: What really got to me about that whole shitshow was his statement that he'd rather be raped than falsely accused of rape, because being falsely accused of rape would ruin his life, but being raped would "merely" make him a laughingstock. Not only is this completely ignorant of the emotional, mental, and sometimes physical affects of rape, and of how the legal system treats rape accusations, but the idea that being raped by a woman would matter so little to a man that just about anything would be worse is a key aspect of why male rape victims aren't treated seriously. Which is a viewpoint he claims to be fighting.
  • Smitty91: Recently, I've noticed that Mr. Enter has begun rambling at the beginning of his videos. I first noticed it on his Animated Atrocities for Legends of Chamberlain Heights. I was annoyed, but it didn't bring down the video for me. Then came his Admirable Animations of "Life with Loopy" where he spent the first five to six minutes of the video talking about KaBlam!. This legitimately pissed me off because instead of talking about the episode and reviewing it, he's giving what amounts to a history lesson on the show it was featured in. This annoyed me to the point where I said "Screw this guy," and I haven't looked back.

Countdowns

  • hydrix: Top 10 Worst Animations From the 2000's, while perhaps one of his lesser works, is decent on its own right. There is only one spot I disagree with, the #5 spot which is for the 4Kids Entertainment dub of One Piece. Now, one might say that this is just an example of Small Reference Pools, because in all fairness, the guys behind the dub are not that horrible and merely made a So Okay, It's Average dub. The catch, however, is that we have a man in front of us that knows that there was a Horrible section for Voice Acting on This Very Wiki, which includes dubbing companies that make 4Kids Entertainment look faithful to their source material (look at this shot for proof that he knows about this folder). For a guy that tries to make himself portray like an actual animation critic and tries to back it up with actual information, he sure lacks the flexibility to put that information into correct use.
  • alienhunter: I used to be a big fan of Mr. Enter, but after not watching his stuff for awhile, I decided to come back and watch his most recent video: Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 1990's. While I do like some of the cartoons he listed, that's not the problem. It's when he picks the cartoon for an entry, he just goes off on a tangent about basically the entire genre, like when he places Caillou on the list, he spends half of the time either calling out his haters and saying that toddler shows, especially Dora the Explorer, are incapable of teaching kids anything and just used for ignorant parents to park their child in front of the TV. Then when it comes to Angela Anaconda, he spends most of the entry talking about the two KaBlam! shorts instead of the actual higher-budget Fox Family show and then ends the entry with claiming that because of Angela Anaconda, KaBlam! won't be put on DVD and basically calls it an abomination for that (even though it's been proven in This Very Wiki that it's not a problem). With all that and with the transition music being so horribly edited together, I turned off the video and promise to never watch another of Enter's videos.
  • "Top 10 Worst Cartoons Of The 2010s"
    • Big Chungus: Since everybody and their mother has talked about Enter's COVID-19 video, I choose his decision to include DC Super Hero Girls on his Worst of the 2010's list. I have been extremely forgiving towards him in the past (yes, even the COVID video), but I cannot defend this moment. I realize that it's his opinion, but his justification of including the show is fairly weak. Most of it boils down to him criticizing the show for its "Girl Power" message and accusing the show of pushing a political agenda. There's also his lack of research on the show, calling it for preschoolers when it's targeted towards all ages or using the main six characters every episode. It feels like he already decided he hated before even watching the show, then only watched one episode to confirm it. Furthermore, there are far more worthy candidates for the list. The whole segment comes off as borderline sexist. Combine that with his controversial political views and dismissal of any criticism and it paints a very unflattering picture of him. Mr. Enter was one of the first YouTubers I watched and even when I disagreed with him, he did make a lot of good points. But I fear for his channel's future if he doesn't change his attitude.
    • Dood Slayer 136: The segment with the Powerpuff Girls reboot. Now, him putting it on the list was not the problem (Personally I couldn't care less even as a fan of the original, but I fully understand why people hate it), the problem was the fact that he swore off any and all PPG media because of it. I know that things like this would make a bad mark on a franchise like PPG, but just because people didn't like Thieves In Time doesn't mean they disown all of Sly Cooper. This comes off as less like Mr.Enter reeling against the show and more like he's taking his anger onto the wrong guy.
    • El Squibbonator: What did it for me was the final entry. While the rest of the list had confined itself to cartoons that debuted during the 2010s, the final spot went to none other than Mr. Enter's favorite whipping boy, Family Guy. That's right, he broke his own rules and picked a cartoon that debuted in 1999 as his worst cartoon of the 2010s, just so he could rip on Seth MacFarlane again. The fact that many of the shows he named as "dishonorable mentions" are much worse than Family Guy doesn't help. Nor does the fact that he stated he will never do an Admirable Animation of Family Guy, because he feels like it wouldn't be worth all the bad episodes. Considering that he's done Admirables for other shows he hates, such as Teen Titans Go!, I feel like his blind hatred for Family Guy has gotten really out of hand.
    • Scsigs: I'm just gonna start this by saying that I don't hate Enter. I've watched his videos since around 2012 or so, I've seen him at his worst and I've seen him grow as a reviewer and content creator. However, there's just something that irks me about him and it's his lack of research or critical thinking skills when it comes to something he genuinely doesn't like when he reviews it. Some people have talked about it already, but several of his reviews of Family Guy episodes place the blame squarely on Seth MacFarlane as to why those episodes are bad. He somehow thinks that Seth is solely responsible for Family Guy existing and why the episodes are bad. The problem is that Seth MacFarlane hasn't provided anything but voice work for Family Guy since the late 2000s, around season 7 or 8 where the show's quality genuinely started to decline and Seth has only written a small number of episodes directly. Seth has also never been a showrunner for the series as far as I know, maybe outside of the early years of it. Not only that, but Seth's had movie, TV, and music projects he's been working on for the last decade. And, I don't like or respect Family Guy's episodes after the 7th or 8th season outside of the odd episode I catch that I think is legitimately good, which are few and far between because the writers seem to go out of their ways to try and top what could be considered not only the worst episode of the show, but of TV in general, but that's besides the point. When it came to him dedicating the last spot in his Top 10 Worst Cartoons of the 2010s to shit on the show, showing he either has never done any amount of research into the production of the show to see that Seth doesn't do anything besides voice work at this point, hasn't been told (or ignored those who've tried to tell him) that Seth doesn't do anything besides that for the show, I pretty much figured that he doesn't do a lot of research into how things get done for some things. It's a weird thing to watch him believe that Seth is the be-all, ed-all of Family Guy, when it's Fox (now Disney) keeping the show going like The Simpsons. Reading that he doesn't do research into other things on this page just hammers that home. Enter, please, start doing research. Sometimes the things you think aren't what's going on, and you learn to not be so close-minded with those beliefs, dude.
    • Tawnalover2019: As ashamed as I am to admit it, I used to be a big fan of Mr. Enter's reviews. Before he went political and crazy, I really enjoyed how he would tell it like it is in the most sarcastic and humorous manor possible. Though, after his Nick-O-Rama project rubbed me the wrong way, what made me give up on him once and for all, though, was where he listed Family Guy as the worst cartoon on that list. Now, regardless of whether or not you like the current state of Family Guy, it premiered LONG before the 2010's. 1999, to be precise. But apparently, Mr. Enter's hateboner for the series made him forget about that little detail. That would be like proclaiming the 2004 Special Edition Star Wars DVDs to be the worst movies of the 2000's. Sure, they made some changes I don't like, but they don't make me forget how a calendar works!

MLP

  • I Am Not Beast: His thoughts on the My Little Pony fifth season. He completely missed the entire point of multiple episodes. "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" was about self-forgiveness, not self-harm. "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" revealed why Diamond Tiara is the way she is, yet he still demands that she be punished for past grievances. His description of Starlight's motivation in "The Cutie Re-Mark" makes me wonder if he was even paying attention. And, the entire time travel rant pretty much amounts to him saying that time travel stories should only be done the way he likes them. Because you know, there are absolutely no explanations for Twilight and Starlight not having time duplicates. TL;DR, Mr. Enter reacted badly to not having every little thing spelled out for him.
  • Light Tiger Peace Grail Race: As loyal as I am to Mr. Enter, there's one particular moment that rubs me the wrong way. It's the moment in his Princess Promenade review where we meet Spike's G3 counterpart. Inoffensive, right? Then he says this: "Oh well, he's still a dragon, and he's still a dude, so at least they got that right". Um... what?? How, exactly, does a previous generation get a design of its successor wrong? I get it bothers fans when an adaptation changes a character's gender, but this line makes no sense. It's like if I went back in time and drew a prehistoric animal. Then people would look at the drawing and compare it to the modern-day counterpart of the animal, talking about the details I supposedly got wrong. Mr. Enter, I love you, and I understand you dislike G3, but could you please think through your criticisms so fans don't get confused?
  • Phobosong: It's an earlier video, but I still can't stand his Power Ponies review. He already rates the episode low from the beginning just from the prologue, which makes it clear he's just going on a Bias Steamroller against the episode. He makes numerous errors throughout the review, such as claiming that the Mane Six have the same powers as before and saying it makes no sense that they'd have trouble, despite there being clear differences (Rarity can't create whatever she thinks of, Applejack's lasso has no powers, Pinkie's speed is never used in battle and not for comedy, etc) and accusing Pinkie of running into a tornado for no reason, despite Pinkie obviously trying to stop once she notices the disaster, a part which he showed in the review. And, finally, if you're going to insult a writer for working on Johnny Test, it'd do you good to 1. have some actual proof that the scenes you assumed were her fault actually were and 2. be fair and insult, say, Alex Hirsch for working on The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Heck, he didn't even like Scott Sonneborn's episodes, but he didn't insult him for working on Angela Anaconda. What makes it worse is that he actually tried to defend himself in the comments when someone called him out, saying "have you seen Johnny Test?", despite having apologized for insulting MLP writers before. I know he admitted that the review was "very unorganized", but I still don't think that begins to describe it. This isn't really his worst review, but it was this one where I honestly wondered if he was half asleep during the episode.
  • Brony Of The Octaves: While I've always loved Enter's work, even if there are times where I feel he tends to be dramatic (like in his Admirable Animations of Phineas and Ferb' "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together!" where he declared certain shows were a sign of "the decline of show animation around the late 2000s, mentioning Skunk Fu! as one despite it being harmless), his infamous MLP Review of "Putting Your Hoof Down" was honestly atrocious. While I don't deny that Fluttershy's behavior was wrong, seeing how she Took a Level in Jerkass and gave a very nasty "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Rarity and Pinkie Pie when all they did was confront her about her behavior, his entire reaction to the episode felt so forced and at best, very dramatic to the point of unfunny Large Ham behavior. Yes it's sad to see your favorite character take an asshole direction and coming off as O.O.C. Is Serious Business, but the fact Shy was able to learn her lesson and turn herself for the better honestly worked. Yes the episode was flawed, but is not as horrible as Enter made it to be, let alone acted like it and being so dramatic about it.

Nick-O-Rama:

  • The Mighty B!
    • jaredthedecimator: I’m going to second the opinion that his Nick-O-Rama series of videos are among his worst. Since everyone and their mom has already torn apart the Rise of TMNT video, I nominate the one about The Mighty B! as my Dethroning Moment. Not only is it obvious from the clips that he only watched a few episodes, but his criticisms are exactly what you’d expect them to be. He spends a good chunk of the review complaining about how annoying Bessie is, even though that’s obviously the point. And, in typical Enter fashion, there’s also a lot of whining about gross-out. I stopped watching Enter regularly years ago, and this video made it clear that I made the right choice.
    • The Cwazy Crowla: His Nick-O-Rama review of The Mighty B! was just dogshit. First off, he says that this show is like Ren and Stimpy animated in Flash when it actually isn't. Secondly, Enter compares Bessie to Spongebob, with both of them apparently being psychopaths who want to ruin the lives of their friends and family. First off, both Bessie and Spongebob are legitimately good people who want to help the others around them. Both of them are just weird and stupid. Their mayhem is the cause of those two things, not psychopathy. Speaking of Bessie being a psycho, Enter says that Bessie's obsession with getting merit badges is similar to that of sinking the Titanic and murdering someone. OK, that is a major exaggeration. Bessie wants to collect all the merit badges to become the Mighty B, sure, but she's not obsessed with them. Also, Enter says that Bessie's dog Happy has Stockholm syndrome because of how he likes Bessie despite him "abusing" him, picking very select out of context screenshots, ignoring how Happy ran away because Bessie's fellow scouts insulted him and how he came back because he was treated well by Bessie. He also says that Happy's flashbacks of Bessie being good to him never happened even though it was the very first segment of the show. This whole review wasn't very good at all. It just goes to show how Nick-O-Rama as a whole was not executed well at all.
  • JJ Ock: As mentioned above, the latter half of Nick-O-Rama was generally messy, due presumably to rushing the editing for it and general burnout. For this troper, the low point of this was his re-review of Sanjay and Craig. Specifically, the point where he references the fans who felt he was unfair to the show (citing the fan-favorite episode The Giving G) and basically goes "No, screw you all, I was right, this show sucks." Not only is this extremely disrespectful to the fans, but several of his complaints (most prominently, claiming the show has excessive gross humor) are outright wrong. I doubt it's a coincidence this was the last video he posted before his Twitter went under.
  • legorunnerkid: My moment comes in his Nick-O-Rama review for Monsters vs. Aliens. Ignoring his awkward and goofy rants on the animation, he complains about President Hathaway acting like a fool. Afterwards, he plays a clip of Donald Trump. Ignoring any of my opinions on Trump, this felt really out of place in a review for a cartoon. Not made better considering a couple of videos back, he says he doesn't like it when entertainers become political (Extra Credits and Chadtronic) but yet he acts politically here. I came to watch your review because I wanted to see what you thought about the show, not what you think of the president. And if someone who is a Trump supporter watches it, I feel they may not be welcome to the channel because of that scene. I try to be really nice here and try to not complain like a madman, but I feel that most of Enter's fanbase doesn't care about politics or at the very least, are not going to watch a video for his political views. If he is going to be political, it should at least be what the entire video is about.
  • Blood Red Knight: I love Mr. Enter, and this hasn't changed my opinion on him. I just wish he had been smarter with his All Grown Up! Nick-O-Rama episode. He had a few valid complaints like the kids acting older than they really were, but his complaint about Chuckie was a little unfair. In the early episodes, he did act out a bit, but it was him trying to break free from his cowardly nature and him overcompensating. His pranks on Principal Pangborne were juvenile but harmless, and he took full blame for it. Sneaking out of school to spy on his sister was out of misguided fear—her boyfriend was a bad influence and he apologized when he saw he was wrong. Most of it was Early-Installment Weirdness, and in later episodes, he was more willing to break out of his shell, but still be likable such as "The Finster Who Stole Christmas" or "Rat Races". As for Tommy filming his friends without their consent, the times his friends faltered towards him far outweigh that, and he has shown to be a loyal friend and family member like putting aside his fear of drowning to save Phil or defending his grandpa against Sean even after Lou embarrassed him. Mr. Enter just seemed to expect the characters to be perfect and not make mistakes.
  • The Bowl Fo Sho: As I don't see it here already, the moment where I unsubscribed was his Nick-O-Rama review for El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, in which he gave a negative review and just got pissy over trivial things such as cultural representation, but the moment that did it for me was when he claimed Frida constantly gets Manny to do evil things throughout the entire show. First off, you've never even seen the entire show, so who are you to make that claim? Second, he is basing this solely off the episode Fistful of Collars, where Frida convinces Manny to steal other people's pets, and then return them to their owners, then get reward money for it, Frida never acts like this in any other episode and his claim is total bullshit. So many of his Nick-O-Rama reviews were just half-assed (he reuses clips from, the same two episodes repeatedly), but this one really takes the cake.
  • ToonAbby: I'm surprised no one has been talking about his Nick-O-Rama on Robot and Monster because it was terrible. And no, it's not because I like that show. No, some of his reasons on why the show sucks comes off as comical at best (such as him saying that Monster makes Patrick Starfish look like a noble prize winner by comparison despite the former not doing anything malicious to his friend and the show being akin to a preschool show solely because it was once on the Noggin app). But what takes the cake is him bringing up Dan Vs. into this due to the titular character and Robot being voiced by the same person, saying that it's a "rip-off" to Dan Vs. despite the lack of any similarities (Dan Vs. is about a Jerkass Villain Protagonist who takes revenge over anything that sets him off; Robot And Monster is about two friends of different species who live in a house with their pet, has an Ambiguously Gay neighbor, and loves bacon) just because they have the same voice actor. But what really rubs me off the wrong way is that, because Robot is the Only Sane Man to a cast of lunatics, he considers Dan to be "the sane one". I watched a few episodes of the latter show and I can guarantee he's anything but "sane" (if anything, it's Chris who's the sane one). Heck even the comments pointed out on his mistake. Overall, the review was awful and, given the whole "Turning Red 9/11" controversy, I don't want to be anywhere near him.
  • Adventurous Yak 9234: One thing about him that irked me was during Nick-O-Rama, his constant reason for not enjoying a show was "X sounds like Y character" Like, why is that a reason to not enjoy something? I'm a fan of Steven Universe and The Middle, and it doesn't bother or distract me one bit Peedee sounds like Brick. It is what it is and doesn't hurt my enjoyment of a show one bit.
  • Nico Hades 91: I've always felt that Enter was overhated by the commentary community, but his Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video shows him doing the very things his detractors accuse him of: getting irrationally angry over what he's reviewing and insulting the creators of the show. However, what did it for me was later in the video when he admitted that he only watched a few episodes and acknowledges that the show does Grow Its Beard, before claiming that he doesn't care and refuses to give it a fair chance. Wow, John. Is being forced to admit a show you trashed improved really that big a blow to your ego?
  • Anyones Master: Call me biased because I like the show, but his entry for TUFF Puppy was so irksome to me with how much he refused to give anything the show did a chance. He insists the show is unoriginal, despite that very clearly not being the case, that is has nothing to offer, even though it's pretty action-packed with fast-paced humor, and even deducts a point towards the final score over Snaptrap's voice, which honestly isn't even that annoying. It's like he let his distaste for Butch Hartman cloud his judgment when "reviewing" this show.

Others:

  • Quilladin 206: My opinion of the Dethroning Moment is when in his re-review of "The Splinter" he said he was going to delete all the videos that he decided to redo. The problem with this is that in his video, "Critical Advice: Dealing with Trolls" he made it very clear that you should not delete a video no matter how much you don't like it, even saying it was his most important advice, making him sound like a bit of a hypocrite.
  • Guitarlove: I used to watch Mr. Enter all the time, but over time I got tired of his rants and his jumbled messages. What really got me was his video on High Guardian Spice. For a start, I was apprehensive. The fact this was a show with just a trailer, and he was reviewing it like any other piece of media, made me mad. Teasers are meant to hype up whatever the piece of media is. His annoyance of Crunchyroll making an anime is odd to me, because Crunchyroll already has made one show, Anime Crimes Division. The moment that really hit the nail to me was his rant against the "100% female writers" line. Hoooo boy. For a start: Lauren Faust hasn't worked on MLP since around 2010/11, Steven Universe has a pretty even number of male and female writers (plus the show is named after and is centered around the experiences of a male character), and just because a show is created by a woman, doesn't mean she has much involvement with the product. Lauren Faust worked on MLP, yes, she did! She made the groundwork for the entire series, wrote the first three episodes, and helped design some characters. She hasn't touched the series since midway through season 2, and the show is now approaching season 9. The point I want to make is the following: just because the creator is a woman, doesn't mean the writing staff are also women. I'm glad there are more women in the industry, and we're starting to hear their voices, especially since I'd love to work on animation myself. The fact he gets so angry at the idea of only women writing the show just doesn't make sense to me. Does he think only women are going to be storyboarders, animators, background artists, color artists, character designers, etc., etc., etc.? The fact he disregards all of these other positions men might have, the fact there are men talking about the production in the teaser, really makes me wonder how for equality he says he is. Also, no Ocean's 8 isn't a failure, unless a film considered to be So Okay, It's Average and making back twice its budget is considered to be a failure.
  • Thefreepup: While I'm still cool with Mr. Enter, there was one moment in particular that, while I can understand it, still feels like a hard pill to swallow. In his DeviantArt review on Chicken Little, he brings up other films he didn't like, one of which was Cars 2. While I can understand why he didn't like it much (though to me, it just came across as "average"), I didn't like how he stated that Cars 2 led to Pixar being brought down to a level comparable to that of Hasbro's. Yeah, sure, every legends do fall into a rut sometimes because no one's perfect (a fact that admittedly can be hard to accept), but that doesn't necessarily make them "bad". They are capable of getting back on track (something that I feel has been happening with Pixar themselves lately), you just have to wait it out (or, if you're that fed up with them, just do something else instead). While far from the worst things he's ever done (which, I'll admit, are kind of hard to get over), this is one of those moments where I feel that he should've known better about, especially since he went through a Dork Age of his own (it may not be comparable to that of Pixar's, but it's still a Dork Age, nonetheless).
  • Mr Media Guy 2: I used to be a huge fan of Enter. I defended him a lot, and greatly enjoyed his earlier videos, even a lot of the ones that got bashed pretty hard on this page. That was before he released his video essay titled "The Animation Genre". It started out reasonable enough, deconstructing the mindset of animation being considered a genre, which many people like Brad Bird absolutely loathe. Then it turns into a thinly-veiled rant about how every single modern animated film is cliched and formulaic. That's right, every single one. Including the critically-acclaimed ones like Inside Out, Zootopia, and Coco. He claims that characters going on some sort of adventure is cliched, despite adventure stories being around since literally the beginning of storytelling, and that it's better if the characters stay in one location the whole film. He bashed Moana for following the Disney Princess formula, even though it arguably subverts more Disney Princess cliches than the critically acclaimed Tangled does. He also claimed that My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) is the personification of all modern animated film cliches, despite that film being 2D-animated, not casting celebrities as the Mane Six, and not relying on Toilet Humor or a shoehorned romance. He comes across as a major Hypocrite here since some of his previous essays, like his journal review of Inside Out, pointed out how creativity is more important than originality, and an unoriginal story isn't necessarily a bad one. I genuinely want to know what kind of animated film would make Enter happy, since he's coming across as an unpleasable jackass in that video. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he claims that every single trope on the Omnipresent Trope index is a cliche as well.
  • afliador8: Not his reviews necessarily, but his op eds on political correctness are at best ill-informed, and at worse willfully propagandist. Regardless of your views on the subjects, his "everything is offensive" episode is so full of misrepresentations, strawman arguments, or just pure nonsense that it lets you see just how full of himself and lazy he can be. From a failure to read past a headline (he lashes out at a writer for supposedly not understanding what a meritocracy is, despite the whole point of the article being that it doesn't exist), to not bothering to look up "cultural appropriation" (he gives an example of an Italian person opening an Italian restaurant in the states. Yes, really) to implying that Asian people cannot be considered a minority anywhere because most people on earth are Asian (yes, really), it creates some extra skepticism as to whether or not his reviews are deserving of serious consideration or if everything is as poorly researched as a video that was meant to be taken with more seriousness than others.
  • shonengirl: I never thought I'd ever come onto this page. Throughout the years, I've been a fan of this guy. I've seen him get unjustified amounts of hate for seemingly no reason. Sure, he had flaws, but the sheer amount of bile he got baffled me. He was just some guy who reviewed cartoons, and he hasn't done anything remotely harmful since, like, 2013? And even that was debatable as much as people love to harp on it, since it was a public Twitter feed? But then the goddamn Corona video came out. This one has a lead-up to this realization though. As another YouTuber, Pufferfish, once said, Mr. Enter has basically become the voice of reason in the animation community of sorts, the sort to tell everyone to calm down when a show is getting too much hate. But then there are his political takes. It started with Technocracy, which I already got "We are living in Nineteen Eighty-Four!" vibes from, but I generally liked. Then came his "Worst Cartoon of the 2010s" video, a generally entertaining video in my opinion. But one thing caught my attention; his opinion on how political opinions have poisoned entertainment as of late, and how everyone and their mother wants to chip in, whether it's warranted or not. Okay, sounds like a reasonable opinion. And in a vacuum, it's a sentiment I agree with. But it felt so... off, considering how much his political takes have increased lately. Some tangentially related to animation, but then there's Technocracy, which isn't remotely related. Then his Corona video hit. Then came his "clarification" about why he thinks healthcare isn't a right (because the American definition doesn't include it... Which somehow supersedes the UN's definition?). And I was forced to acknowledge the facts that had been staring me dead in the face, now that he was actually saying things that I strictly disagreed with. I'm shocked how he, nor a majority of his audience, have realized the sheer and utter cognitive dissonance here. It's almost like something out of a parody, how he's the exact goddamn type of e-celeb he mocked in one of his videos. And it's not like Extra Credits was to him, where he slowly slipped into this over time. No, he said that entertainers wanting to chip in on everything was bad, and about how political opinions are shoved into media despite the writer clearly not doing much research on it... right as he was doing the same and had been doing so for about a year. You're almost as bad as Extra Credits, and only almost because they set the low bar of "being against gambling", and since you're such an uber-libertarian, I'm actually a bit surprised you're against gambling at all. Your presentation may have gotten better, but as a person and in terms of integrity you've fallen so, so much. You make animation videos, John, you're the exact type of e-celeb who you were talking about. In the span of a mere day, I've gone from a dedicated fan to thinking the hate he got was just a bit too preemptive, and wishing that his KiwiFarms page didn't get locked. The misinformation he spread in that video has potential to be dangerous. Also... The elderly and immunocompromised deserve to die? That's just fucking evil! ...How the hell isn't he getting dislike bombed here?! It feels a bit hopeless, and I hope I can reach him regarding his hypocrisy sometime soon, but I doubt it. The video itself is full of hypocrisies too, like he recites the tired old "The media exaggerates everything!" thing... but then goes on to bring up the most extreme examples and a joke pertaining to how the world has dealt with COVID-19 (and then replies "Yeah right, making jokes in the middle of a PANDEMIC" to a person telling him that the Italian police flamethrower thing was a joke. As he's saying that this virus is basically no big deal and that people panicking are idiots. And also seemingly not knowing how Corona memes are everywhere nowadays. Yes. And he didn't reply.). And the whole time he's all "I'm losing hope in humanity!" and "I'm right and my opinion on this is totally the most correct and reasonable!", which made me want to bash his face in more. I'd take 2013 Mr. Enter over this, at least he was just a guy who talked about cartoons back then, even if they were really flawed videos. Honestly, I hope the hypocrisy strikes him sometime in the future, though he's gone in way too deep, I feel. I really, really wish something happens soon. Or I won't have to make a decision and he catches Corona and realizes the gravity of his ignorance. I wouldn't care. I just feel sorry for his remaining fanbase too blinded to see him for the hypocrite he is. Take your hot takes and shove 'em up your ass, John.
    • ADrago: Removing my previous DMOS and replacing it with Mr. Enter's first video on the COVID-19 Pandemic. While some of his points, such as how isolation has had a negative impact on people's mental health were valid, he acted very smug throughout the video. He gave misinformation like how Italy's extreme measures didn't prevent the country from becoming an epicenter for the pandemic, even though said measures were taken after it became an epicenter. And the video was a showcase of the worst aspects of libertarianism: acting like the slightest measure to protect the public is a human rights violation, claiming healthcare isn't a right while simultaneously strawmanning those who support universal healthcare as believing doctors deserve no compensation, and calling mandatory vaccination a human rights violation and comparing it to the government giving people LSD in experiments, lobotomization, and eugenics. He also claims people who get the virus can just avoid coming into contact with the immunocompromised or the elderly, which is easier said than done since a lot of people live with those who are vulnerable. After thinking it over, Mr. Enter's increasingly smug attitude, especially when he discusses politics, made me decide to unsubscribe from him.
    • Regulas 314: After so many years I’ve decided to change my entry from Seth Mac Farlanes Cavalcade Of Cartoon Comedy to Enter’s video regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic and his recent string of journals on current world events. I no longer give a fuck if the guy gives false information or bad takes on cartoons, because his stances on real world happenings are far, far worse! His misinformation on aspects like the spread of the disease in certain countries was vomit-inducing alongside his smugness, stating healthcare isn’t a human right was... the final fucking straw from me... his libertarian views on the whole thing just paint him as a monster. Saying all you gotta do to avoid getting the virus is avoiding those who aren’t as healthy or immunecompromised is easier said than done dude... a lot of us actually do have to leave our homes to shop and get necessities! His increasingly vindictive and smug attitude along with spreading blatant misinformation is enough for me to ignore him entirely now. He was already getting worse with Nick-O-Rama among other things, but this? Was legitimately sickening.
  • The Living Drawing: I used to be a huge fan of Mr. Enter, he was my favorite Youtuber at one point and then my opinion of him just took a sudden and massive nosedive. It started with Nick-O-Rama’s second half, with him giving half-assed reviews of the shows he was reviewing, times where it was blatantly obvious he barely watched the show before reviewing it (his review of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being probably the worst offender), and in general just feeling too harsh on what he was reviewing. It’s obvious that he did far too little preparation for such a huge project. While Nick-O-Rama didn’t immediately destroy my faith in him, his caustic attitude in reviews that followed, and poorly thought out political takes about some of what he covered did. The videos on the COVID-19 pandemic and other political events of 2020 that shall remain unmentioned finished off what little respect I had left for him. And just before he started Nick-O-Rama he was at his high point with Technocracy and his reviews of Extra Credits being some of his best work. Those who climb too high are bound to fall I suppose.
  • Dvaderstarlord 5: Going for just something that I felt was a terrible joke that I noticed since marathoning all of Animated Atrocities, was in his Christmas Guy review. I generally liked the review for the most part even if I find it kind of annoying that he almost always calls Brian by his full name and generally doesn't do that for other characters and it stands out and it was light on reviewing the episode and instead doing another segment on why he hates how the show handled bringing Brian back which I could understand because as he pointed out the episode is light on substance. But my DMOS comes with the weird skit at the end where he mistakes the Emoji Movie DVD for mac and cheese and cooks it, I just thought it was really unfunny, only very tangentially related to the review and just a weird Take That! that didn't make much sense and once again was not very funny in spite of clearly being a joke. It also doesn't make much sense as he already reviewed that movie, it would have made more sense if that was his next review, except it was a potshot that would have fit more in the review for that movie.
  • The DeviantArt journal called masks off:
    • MikeSparks101: I removed my previous entry after Enter's journal on DeviantArt, where he made some of the worst points about the coronavirus pandemic i have ever heard or seen anywhere, no joke. In this journal, Enter gives out false information about the coronavirus pandemic by saying that most masks don't actually do anything to prevent getting the coronavirus (which is not true) and says that if you wear a mask, you're actually more likely to catch the coronavirus than if you didn't wear one at all - which might be the worst point I have ever heard from anyone about the pandemic ever. He also says that people are wearing scarfs for masks and that wearing a mask could cause heat strokes. By that logic, I could die by driving a car or being on a plane. Do you wanna know why I still do those things? Because if I follow the rules of the road and drive carefully, I will likely not crash my car and die! And a plane accident is highly unlikely and it's much more likely to die in a car accident! There's honestly so much wrong with this journal that I don't think I can get into all of it. This guy needs help right now, because he clearly has some sort of mental problem. I was an avid fan of his, but if he goes down this road, he'll be a nervous wreck.
    • Mighty Mewtron: If not for the TV Tropes crash, I would have added that as my new DMOS as soon as I read that journal. For a while, Enter's takes on "political correctness" were just annoying, and I was willing to put that aside and just watch his non-political reviews. But this essay has crossed a line for me because it relies on outright dangerous misinformation. He uses statements from government officials from early 2020 to negate the need for protection now, despite those statements being made to prevent hoarding masks specifically meant for healthcare workers before COVID-19 was particularly widespread and the masks were not being produced as much. He claims this is discrimination against mentally ill people (because some people might possibly have triggers involving masks- never mind that most people who don't wear masks don't have this trigger) and poor people (because they can't afford safe masks- never mind that most advocates insist masks be provided to those who can't afford it to prevent this sort of discrimination). He creates a ridiculous strawman that pro-mask advocates treat masks like the only way to stop the disease (rather than just one way to stop the spread of an airborne illness- the media promotes methods like social distancing and hand-washing just as much as mask-wearing), never criticize misuse of masks, take their masks off just to yell at people for not wearing them, and encourage using "old bath towels filled with mildew" as masks. Even if people do misuse their masks, he never gives an argument why not wearing a mask would be any better, especially if these people are already irresponsible about their health. I can take a bad opinion on a cartoon. I can even take whining about Political Correctness Is Evil. But using his platform to promote health misinformation during a pandemic could lead to serious repercussions.
  • Javertshark 13: His "Youtube Dislikes You" video is a new low point. He starts out by absurdly claiming that everyone on the planet agrees with his view, and if anyone doesn't, he considers them a threat to humanity. That incredible arrogance would have gotten this an entry by itself, and he then goes on to regurgitate every single talking point that every other video on this topic had already made, while not making any original points of his own. He also personally attacks Matt Koval (for no other reason than him being in the video announcing the change) by comparing him to a dog. The whole thing just makes him look like an angry, paranoid bully, and killed any respect that I had managed to regain toward him.
  • Unicorndance: His video about "How the World Ended". He's inconsistent, insensitive to the Chinese, and berates people for not being able to predict what Covid-19 will do in the future.
  • ferrethugger98: His painting of Sweden's approach to covid in a positive light and smugly predicting that it would be vindicated. As somebody who lived through this first-hand, this strategy was not admirable in the slightest. There's a reason the UK barely lasted a month on a similar approach. Sweden sacrificed its nursing home residents and segregated immigrants so that we could feel special for being contrarian. People in power were more interested in "preserving the Sweden image" and creating a cult of personality around the state epidemiologist than minimizing harm. Information about masks and asymptomatic/airborne transmission was suppressed and any criticism was dismissed as delusional or damaging morale. People have called this unflinching loyalty "corona nationalism" and it is very apt. While I don't want to hold it against him since he's made a habit of smugly berating people for not being able to see future developments in the pandemic, I do think it was interesting that he brought up that death numbers were falling in Sweden in the summer of 2020 when those things can turn around just as quickly, and indeed, by the fall people began dying en masse again.
  • Tuesdayisms: What finally caused me to leave was when he kept doing hour long livestreams where he complains about the pandemic in place of making videos. I disagreed with a lot of his takes, but I was willing to look past it. Then his bad takes overtook his channel and the quality of his more recent reviews (the "Bart vs. Itchy and Scratchy" one comes to mind) wasn't really worth dealing with his constant negativity.
  • darksteel: For me, it wasn't any of his Blatant Lies in his "Technocracy" series (especially in regards to his claim that Twitter is focusing on targeting right-wing people, which, no, they aren't - the fact that actual prominent white supremacists are still on there to this day single-handedly disproves his point there) or even his asinine anti-lockdown rants on his streams. No, for me, it was the blog entry on his DeviantArt page called "People Are Jokes," where he basically showed his incredible ignorance in regards to structural and societal racism, with him incessantly bitching about "Black Lives Matter" and reeking of white privilege - that was when it became clear to me how ignorant he truly was and that he's not nearly as smart as he's convinced he is. It's no surprise that he nuked his entire DA page shortly after that entry was published, as he was getting called out by numerous users, and accused anyone who dared to rightfully criticize him of being "trolls" (along with blocking them as well), so like a coward, he shut down the whole page rather than admitting he made a mistake
    • biznizz: ...Which leads us to his video that's about "The Wild World of Modern PSA's", which is less about PSA's and more of a dumping ground for Enter's controversial politics that he's developed during the lockdown of 2020. The two main areas of contention are his opinions on COVID-19 and the nuances of Black Lives Matter. With the former, he not only declared that he believes Dr. Anthony Fauchi to be a liar, but that the level of concern for the virus isn't worth the stress on mental health for people who have to remain inside, including alluding to the idea that it could cause those with mental disorders to possibly take their lives. And with the subject of race and BLM, he largely echoed his previously shallow opinions on the subject, even at a surface level. Not only does he compare his own education on black history and the arts to the standard across the country, he seems to have the opinion that, unless it's explicitly based on a real person's direct experiences, using a parable or semi-fictional example of racial injustice is completely worthless to the conversation (such as comparing when Arthur alluded to George Floyd to when the Barbie PSA brought up an in-universe's character's experience). In a video completely dominated by his own bitterness, these two subjects were almost beyond words in how ignorant and out of touch he is.
    • Diamond Wheels 35: The one big problem for me in this video is that he believes that humanity will destroy itself by trying to save itself and that humanity’s desire to save itself is the most destructive thing in the universe, what kind of Anti-Spiral crap is that? Are the people who use their money to save forests and its natural wildlife destroying humanity? Are the doctors who worked around the clock to create the COVID-19 vaccine destroying humanity? Are firefighters who put out fires destroying humanity? He doesn’t seem to understand that there are people and organizations out there that really do care about the bettering of humanity and do so through non-violent means. I shouldn’t be so surprised that he said that though, his answer for solving problems is to just not do anything and ignore it, which will just make it go away on it’s own, if his takes on how to stop gun violence are anything to go by. Enter is a man with nothing but hate in his heart and let the 2020 pandemic destroy whatever sanity he had left.
  • Magnus Force: When I was a young and naive newbie to the animation fandom, Mr. Enter was somebody I respected. In the years since, my perception of him has completely flipped its head, and I now consider him one of the worst reviewers ever, particularly for how his way of reviewing and analyzing animation has proven fundamentally destructive to our ability to discuss cartoons. I've spent years unlearning the bullshit I've picked up from him and despise the overwhelming majority of cartoon reviewers for either copying him in all the worst ways or simply being just like him but without the anger. And if there is one moment from him that to me embodies the true awfulness of his "skills" at analyzing and reviewing, it's his claim that Canadian cartoons are the reason why people make fun of Canada. While he has shown his disgustingly ignorant nature towards the full diversity and scope of Canadian animation (from Nelvana to the National Film Board of Canada to Mercury Filmworks) with his constant descriptions of Teletoon as an animation studio with the lowest production values (it isn't a studio; it's a network that commissions and funds shows) and propagation of the "Canadian Content laws mandate mass-produced cartoons" myth (even though said laws have existed since the inception of Canadian TV, also apply to live-action shows like Corner Gas and Degrassi, and actually focus more on funding Canadian Series and giving them more airtime on TV), this is him as his absolute stupidest. Not only is it yet another example of a take on Canadian cartoons based entirely on one's hatred of Johnny Test or whatever, but it's quite possible the stupidest one ever. Are you seriously telling me that Johnny Test (which, friendly reminder, is partially produced in the United States and was created by an American) is the reason for the Moose and Maple Syrup trope?! Are you seriously claiming that every joke about maple syrup, hockey, politeness, and snow was started by My Life Me (a partially French production by the way)?! Do you seriously believe that not a single joke about Canada existed before Almost Naked Animals (which was also created by an American)?! Do you seriously believe Mega Babies (yet again thought of by an American) is that influential on Canadian culture and society and its place on the world stage?! Is he seriously so ignorant that he doesn't even know that some of the most famous and respected animation studios worldwide are from Canada (to the point where it's getting increasingly common for American studios to outsource their cartoons to Canada)? Or that some of the most popular kids' cartoons in modern history were produced in Canada?! Or that the National Film Board of Canada's arthouse animations have long been praised by the professional animation community for decades? Uuuugh! Not only does his statement show how little he truly knows about Canadian cartoons and Canada's contributions to animation (a sadly common thing on the Internet...), but it also shows he really does think the whole world revolves around cartoons. If you believe Johnny Test is the reason why people make jokes about Canada, you seriously need to get outside more and expand your interests beyond children's cartoons.
  • Turning Red is a mixed bag
    • Reubensandwich: His review of Turning Red makes me genuinely wonder if we shouldn't be so hard on him. In it, he said that the film failed to portray 2002 because it is post-9/11 and people were paranoid about more terrorist attacks. Was there paranoia? Yes. But I think you are drastically, drastically overestimating it—and as a result are Dramatically Missing the Point. If you were letting the threat of terrorists live rent free in your head in 2002, then I'm sorry to be you, Mr. Enter. Because the rest of the world, including the US and Canada, was not. Additionally, I remember when you criticized Extra Credits. Yeah, there were many things in that video I agree with. Sure, you had some research failures like the cost of videosClarification, but I do agree that you were pointing out how tone deaf and blind Extra Credits was sounding. When you criticized them for saying "all media is political", you referenced that one Far Cry game being criticised for not making some message. Here, you do... the exact same thing: criticize Turning Red for not acknowledging the post-9/11 paranoia. Whoops. Did you even watch the movie? Right as he criticises "Ming shouldn't be able to get that close to the school", watching the movie would showcase a security guard walking right up to Ming and escorting her away. Your response of "Well, I guess I did something right because I angered Twitter" pretty much shows you probably have some actual problems with your mental faculties—because that's literally not what people were criticizing you for. They were criticizing you for wondering why a film that's not about 9/11 or the society post-9/11 in any way doesn't mention it. What, do you think Toy Story 2 should mention the New Media Are Evil push against video games in The '90s spurred on by games like Mortal Kombat (1992), DOOM and Night Trap? Or that a cartoon set in 2022 and made in 2022 should mention the Russiophobia? Additionally, you comment on how much you really hate Ming. I get it - that's one of your berserk buttons. But you venting about how much you hated her? Sounds like the actress, director, and the writers did their jobs! Because you're not supposed to like Ming. You're supposed to find her obnoxious and if anything, pity her. You're supposed to see her acting embarrassing and think "Wow, Mei, you have to go home to that?" You aren't supposed to see Ming and think she's right.
    • SenorCornholio: Haven't changed my entry on here in years, and I guess now is the perfect time to do it. Now, to be perfectly clear, I don't mind that Mr. Enter didn't like Turning Red. I enjoy the movie, but I can see how some people might not. It's definitely different from Pixar's usual tone, and I can see how that would be a turn-off; in fact, a few YouTubers I regularly watch weren't fond of the film, and I'm okay with that. But with that being said, this legitimately has to be one of the worst takes I've ever seen on a movie. He starts right out of the gate by bringing up the "political statement" fallacy, basically setting the tone for the review you're about to watch. I doubt that anyone outside of Twitter's outrage mobs even cares about politics at this point, especially when the movie itself is hardly political outside of Disney's poor marketing. The next issue is that he constantly acts like the time period should be more "realistic" even though this is based on the director's childhood, meaning she's more or less writing from personal experience (which he outright speculates during his 9/11 tangent). In addition, his description of the 2000's is very stereotypical. It's like he looked at what was going on at the time and assumed that everyone was into emo rock and letting 9/11 pervade their minds back then (not to mention, My Chemical Romance was the big hit at the time, not Linkin Park). Not only that, but he completely downplayed the anime boom of the 90's by assuming that only the really big mainstream anime of the time (Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Pokémon: The Series, Yu-Gi-Oh!) were popular, completely ignoring the likes of Digimon Adventure, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop and several others in the process. And then there's the airplane-shaped elephants in the room. As it turns out, it ties into the prior point: he believes that 9/11 itself is responsible for the drastic change in tone, and all over the western world at that. Heheheh...no. The above troper described exactly why Enter's point makes no sense, but it somehow makes even less sense in context because the 2000's culture didn't just change on a dime due to 9/11. If anything, that's arguably less realistic than the movie about a girl who turns into a red panda. Despite his prior political rants, I was considerably neutral towards Mr. Enter after becoming more critical of him; hell, I deliberately ignored most of his political statements just to give him some sort of benefit of the doubt as a reviewer, even after they invaded his reviews. But this entire fiasco (as well as his Twitter rant) proved that his political nihilism has fully consumed him, and he isn't changing anytime soon. I legitimately hope he finds some actual help at some point, but that would require him to realize he has a problem. Until then? I give up. That's it.
    • supernintendo128: I used to be a big fan of Mr. Enter. I watched his videos religiously, defended him from haters, and even started his trope page. Even with my previous DMoS (the SpongeBob "To Love a Patty" review) I went easy on him and it was for a video he made that he agreed wasn't up to par. But I'm done simping for him. I haven't watched his videos in years except when they occasionally pop up in my feed, but his anti-mask views, his views on the COVID-19 pandemic in general, and stories of people working with him on his failed cartoon project Growing Around convinced me he is not as good of a person as I thought (in hindsight it should've been obvious given how he verbally berated SpongeBob writers for the cardinal sin of writing a bad episode). But any remaining credibility he had as a reviewer was torpedoed in my eyes when he put out that godawful Turning Red review. It was the most idiotic criticism of a cartoon I've ever heard, bar none, and he had some bad takes before but this tops all of it. The way Mr. Enter describes it, you'd think everyone was cowering in fear wondering when the next terrorist attack would happen. But this is a film about preteen boy band-obsessed girls, and when I was Mei's age, I didn't give a shit about all the bad stuff happening in the world. Most of us didn't have time to live in fear, we just wanted to live our lives. Besides, what the hell happened to "media doesn't need to be political"? As Reubensandwich pointed out, he criticized Extra Credits for saying that video games must be political, but now it's suddenly not okay for a movie for preteen girls not to bring up a real-life event that happened a year prior? I think he made up his mind that he didn't like this film before he even went in it and was looking for any reason to justify him not liking this film, or did he actually live in constant fear of when the terrorists would attack next during the early 2000s, because that's just sad. After that trainwreck, I can no longer call myself even a casual fan of him.
  • Satire, you're Doing it Wrong:
    • JEFFWONTLEAVE: I could go on for hours on how his recent writing tips video is very awkwardly paced, completely fails at giving viewers a good understanding of satire, etc. But I would single out the moment where he forces in the controversy to his Troll video. Look, if you want to defend your position about your favorite work, that's fine. But when you shoehorn it into what's supposed to be an educational piece about how to understand a very complex type of writing style, it makes you come across as arrogant, preachy and bitter for all the wrong reasons.
    • Dat Shambler: I'd also like to add that in said video, he refers to the people that are not him/the writers of Family Guy as "The Bad Ones" or something along those lines. That makes him come across as really petty.
  • Diversifying Diversity
    • NoonboryKedabory: Why did I come back? Why did I waste valuable moments of my life watching this disgusting video? This is one of the most insulting slaps in the face I have ever heard. It's so disingenuous and lazy. It just feels like a dragged-out "hur dur old cartoons good new cartoons bad" rant. Ignoring the fantastic new representation in our modern-day animationnote  and limiting it down to nothing but "media bad consume product"...you know that this is happening because actual marginalized people have voices in the industry now, right? We were given The Owl House because of a woman, Dana Terrace. We were given Turning Red because of an Asian woman, Domee Shi. We were given Ada Twist, Scientist because of a Black woman, Michelle Obama (yes, that Michelle Obama). We have a voice now, and we are going to be loud, because we were forced to be quiet for so long. Even if its not the creator, it's the research and the care that media like Encanto, Hero Elementary, and Blue's Clues & You! gives to us. We are entering an age where more and more people see themselves in the cartoons they love, and that is one of the best feelings in the world. And if Enter can't accept that the world isn't quite the same anymore, then I don't care if he gets left behind. I'll gladly take hands with Mei and Mirabel, and walk towards this light with a smile on my face, for myself, and for everyone who is finally seeing themselves in media like they deserve to.
  • Pgj1997: For me, I stopped watching him when he started clickbaiting titles. With such wonderful titles such as "The Patrick Star Show Calls Out the Critics!", "High Guardian Spice is a Disorientating MESS", "The Hey Arnold! Episode Where Dino 'Dies'", "Nickelodeon's WORST Christmas Special", and probably the worst offender out of all of them, "Cars 1 is a bad movie which exists that I wish did not. It is a bad movie that I hate. Very very bad", most of which give little to no indication of what exactly he's reviewing (especially in the case of individual episodes, unlike what he used to do; you know, put them in the actual title), and just feel like cries for attention. What's even worse is that change came straight out of nowhere. If there's one thing that viewers like, it's consistency. These titles aren't consistent with his older videos. They don't even look like Mr. Enter videos, they look just like any other corporate review channel. And that's a huge turnoff.
