Nice April Fool's post, though, looking at the date posted, it was still March 31st when you put it up.
Overall, it was funny, entertaining, and kept closely to the original style of That Guy. Really, that's the deal with most of your stuff, all of which I have watched despite the fact that I don't read American comics.
Keep it up, because you are a man! *pow*

Watchmen was a very interesting comic although I was thrown off a little by the giant squid

I wonder if I'm the only one on this website who knows that your profile picture comes from Lawnmower Man 2. I remember COMMERCIALS for that thing. Never did see it, though.

It's a couple hours early for April Fools, but I totally did not see this coming when you said you were going to review Watchmen in the 2009 trailer. Good job!

That was awesome linkara, I'm surprised how good a spoof of chester that was. You even spoofed the of course xD (though thats NC it was still awesome to include). Although I know that this was a one time thing and that you are never going to do it again, I can't help but want to see more of this stuff from you. Maybe you can do other stuff like it, and that would be great too.
Happy April 1st

I just finished reading Watchmen, the giant squid came out of nowhere... could "you know who" have thought of a less complicated plan rather than teleporting a giant squid to New York?

Actually it was hinted at any time we saw the scientists, artists, and writers on the island.

Wow, I've got to admit that I never expected this.
You do quite a good impression of Doug's bum voice. Kudos!

I'm not much of a comic reader, most likely because I have never really been introduced to them. Watchmen is actually the only comic I have ever read, not including manga, and I loved it. Great comic, and I think that you did a great job of parodying the Bum and reviewing Watchmen in a spoiler free fashion.
Very nice!!!

Wow man, I have to say, that was a SPOT ON impression/parody/what have you. Best April Fool's prank of the day so far.

03.31.2009 - 18:26 | NeoAC - Excellent.
I think Tag team Bum reviews needed to be forthcoming in the future now. It would be awesome.
And chocolatey.

Wow. Perfect April Fool's joke.
I totally forgot that March was over.
Got me, I was like, "WHAT!? Linkara's review of Watchmen, this soon after the last review? No wai!" And then I got... Lester.
Wow.
A+.

This had me splitting my sides laughing! I adore Bum Reviews. This just adds to it, Linkara. Great review! Seriously, the squid!? Love the book. It's an epic! Who wouldn't but yeah. The squid still gets me....
I have something of a request. Not that it was a bad book, I adore Young Justice. But their series Sins of Youth, While I liked most of them - especially the shrunken Batman and the Mini-JSA, the comic JSA Jr. just struck me as weird. And it isnt even the teenaged weirdness of Plastic Man and Martian Manhunter, its just... strange. The book has the Watchtower not recognizing them although as I recall from other books they do it on a DNA scan not a weight, size and voiceprint identification and so they have to retire to the Justice Cave?! In Happy Harbor, RI which Young Justice has completely trashed in previous issues of their comic! And what the hell is Anarky doing in the Watchtower to begin with!? It's just weird if I'm remembering it correctly. The others do a pretty good job. I mean JSA Babies was interesting what with Woozy Winks being one of the few adults and Stargirl having to take charge of everyone including her stepfather! So that's my idea. Thanks a lot and keep it up!!!
