Fun fact: According to Obscurus Lupa, all the episodes of Pop Quiz Hotshot were never supposed to be released, rather just canned entirely. However, the Channel awesome CEO forced them to be released so Indiegogo wouldn't investigate them for doing nothing with the money they raised. How lovely.

According to Allison Pregler (Obscurus Lupa) in the Not So Awesome document: Pop Quiz Hotshot was ACTUALLY Mike Michaud's idea. NOBODY-not even Doug-wanted to work on or make this. 40-something episodes were promised, which obviously never came into fruition. There were tons of reshoots done for the Pilot episode due to the studio NOT being sound-dampened (hence the constant echoes in the audio). This was done with all the same contestants and (more or less) the same questions. Doug (and everyone else involved) were too embarrassed to upload the show, but because Indiegogo threatened to investigate CA to ensure the money produced something for the backers, Michaud forced them to upload the show in order to cover CA legally. Because they had covered their Indiegogo goals, there was no need to make any more episodes after the Pilot and the other 11. Now, I'm not defending Doug or his antics, but I think most of the criticism should be aimed towards Michaud. Doug is still a delusional visionary, but he never wanted to make this.

@SmoothCriminal12

Doug Walker is very much a man out of time. He's pretty much a Gen Xer (or Xennial, I guess) trying to produce content for a much younger audience without any real idea of how to do it besides "replicate what worked in 2008". Except, of course, the demographics have totally left him behind. You can tell from the kinds of jokes they make: jokes about 2 men dating, jokes about transvestites, etc. etc. These are jokes from a different era. That's not to say he's completely irrelevant these days, or completely without something to offer. He did hit upon a character that young people find enjoyable, but only in the very narrow niche of comedic movie critiques, and we're seeing now that it also probably only worked in a very niche time circa 2010. He's sort of up there with CinemaSins as "a guy who had 1 good idea 10 years ago", and is struggling to build on it.

(On a 90.000 dollar budget) - Seeing as the contestants had to travel from all over the United States to get to their warehouse, I imagine even if they won the “prize-money”; I think many of them actually had lost a lot of money to appear in this dumpsterfire.

He should have a game show

The red collar shirt guy (Phelan Porteous, aka Phelous) was the ONLY one contracted to do the majority of the special effects for the entire video by himself. Not the "single white frame = gunshot" bullshit, but stuff like the CGI renders of the spaceships and greenscreen backgrounds, the 3D Modelling of space and the transitions, the laserbeam, teleporting and particle effects, etc. Yep. ONE guy. WTF were they thinking? 😕 On his own KZread channel, where he reviews old VHS reviews and unboxing retro toys, the effects he does are fine for little sketch moments. But to work on a THREE HOUR LONG internet video, 18 hour work days, with camera footage of varying quality, shitty lighting and angles, and poor direction by Doug and Rob, I'm surprised the guy didn't have a fucking aneurysm!!! 🤣

@thelemonadestandman

2 жыл бұрын

I think the thing that really adds to the fucked up-ness of making Phelous do *all* of the special effects for that video, is that in future crossovers between them (I'm speaking about the reviews they did of the Chuckie movies) one of the jokes was that that the special effects were better than To Boldly Flee. And just in case you didn't get it, Nostalgia Critic went the extra mile to say "Because you did them" to him. It's almost kind of shocking how hard Doug Walker threw him under the bus for doing a pretty admirable job for one dude.

Irony is dead. Stone cold dead. And Doug "Melvin" Walker killed it and tarshed the corpse.

Doug didn't quit Nostalgia Critic for that game show, he quit it to make Demo Reel. Hence the reason why the last episode of Demo Reel is called "The Review Must Go On", and is about him becoming the Nostalgia Critic again, with the NC series starting up again after the finale came out. It's also widely believed that the reason the game show is so damn awful in quality is because he used the vast majority of the Kickstarter money raised for it on his Demo Reel series instead, which was his actual passion project (and incidentally is of much higher quality). But whether that part is true or not, Pop Quiz Hotshot is definitely NOT the show Doug quit the Nostalgia Critic for

Idk he was decently funny back in like 2008-2012 I watched a lot of him when I was younger. And he definitely had competition of the 50,000 other white guys who review trash movies. He just had brand recognition. And regardless of the quality of his videos, as Ralph said, the Nostalgia critic is responsible for getting a lot of people into movies and film criticism, so I don't feel it's totally fair to dump all over his career as a whole

You got the events wrong. Doug retired the Nostalgia Critic in 2012 and went on to make Demo Reel, which failed so spectacularly that he revived the NC a year later. Pop Quiz Hotshot came way later, he didn't retire because he wanted to have a game show. He probably only did it to recoup the losses he suffered from Demo Reel since he bought a warehouse, costumes, cameras and hired actors for that.

I think he had to make demo reel because his definition of fair use is categorically wrong. He tried to change tracks to demo reel, because the nostalgia critic was running out of content, and Doug's inexplicable inability to admit that sometimes he is talking through the critic ("he's just a character") gave us the cringe fest that was demo reel. That's why (imo) when the critic came back, it did so as such a shit sh... I mean skit show. I used to watch both the nostalgia critic and Doug's "out of character" reviews back in the day; they have the same opinions, he just yells more when he's wearing the goofy t-shirt and tie combo. I don't think Doug is very self aware, and his inability to see what people liked about his earlier content was his downfall. Well, that and he got scammed into signing over the rights to the critic to the piece of human garbage that was managing his website... That probably also has something to do with him trying to distance himself from "the character"

@Divertissement Infinite Let's also add that Lindsay's Seven of Nine characters was going to be named Six of Nine. Until they changed it to Seven of Eleven for obvious reasons.

If done very carefully, I think the idea of a "plot hole" void that threatens the world could be a great premise for a comedy. For example, the first quarter or so could be a small and ridiculous contained story with really small and dumb plot holes. This summons a void threatening to eat the world, so the protagonists must go back in time to do really dumb and contrived things to explain the plot holes.

I realized, the entirety of doug's content is literally just him punching down and making a reference

It's pretty nuts to think she got her start not even as her own character, but one Doug made and assigned to her through a contest. And that she was intended to be a NCritic clone but with the gimmick of being a girl and reviewing girly things. It's just such a lazy, unoriginal, sexist and incredibly outdated premise, yet of course a conceited hack like Doug would think "me, but with tits" was a good idea. Naturally, Lindsay commandeered the NChick character pretty fast and would make videos in her own style on whatever the hell she felt like, but I'm still surprised she had ever accepted that role in the first place.
