When Are Critics Wrong? (2016)

Doug Walker: Nostalgia Critic

Quotes 

• Nostalgia Critic : As most of you know, when you become a critic, you drink this magic juice that immediately makes you smarter than everyone else. Once this liquid is consumed, you suddenly become a member of the Critic League, meaning your opinion matters 90% more than that of the common riffraff. Your senses are heightened, your brain becomes bigger, and you miraculously know what's best for anyone in the world. This is the promise of the Tree of Life.

  [singing in Princess Leia's voice] 

  Nostalgia Critic : We celebrate a day of peace...

  [suddenly, a buzzer is heard as the word "BULLSHIT" flashes on the screen] 

  Nostalgia Critic : All right, as many of you probably figured out, that's NOT how things work.

• Nostalgia Critic : Odd for me to say, I know, but the idea of critics is kind of a strange one. It's so often that we compare our thoughts to the critics, and probably more than once, you've disagreed with them. You either liked something they hated, or hated something they liked. This usually forces people to form into one or two categories: someone that says, "Screw the critics, they don't speak for the people and are a bunch of stuck-up eggheads!", or the people that say, "Screw the masses, they wouldn't know art if the Mona Lisa kicked them in the balls!"
