Great episode. :)
Epic Sketches right there.
Angry Joe for President!
-

But he destroyed Canada. And that means he kills me.
... I suppose you don't care. He kills Phelous.
... Granted, that happens all the time. He kills Uwe GODdamnit! I've just given him enough reason to.
He kills... Jason Jones? Pamela Anderson's boobs? The guy who created Ren and Stimpy? Michael J. Fox? Michael Cera? Jim Carrey? Dan Aykroyd? Am I getting through to you?

12.22.2010 - 11:27 | TheRocketMechanic
Don't forget about directors.
We'd be losing Ivan and Jason Reitman, James Cameron, David Cronenberg, Mark and Stephanie Morgenstern, George Romero and Rob Stefaniuk. And that's just scratchin' the surface.
And really, it's not worth it just to kill Friedberg and Seltzer. Not when you can just shoot them and get it over with.

12.22.2010 - 12:02 | moviemaster8510
And music.
No Rush, Guess Who, Triumph, or the Band. Does Angry Joe really want the greatest drummer of all time's blood on his hands?
-
12.22.2010 - 14:29 | drumlip
Don't forget William Shatner.

i was wondering how the nostalgia critic affected the life of an angel
but then i just got a bit of fridge Brilliance here
God must have sent that angel to show the nostalgia critic how bad the world would be without him
and only if he completed his mission would he get his wings (and then go onto being god no. 1 man)
but the nostalgia critic ruined the life of everybody around him so god sent the angel on an impossible mission, in which he could never get his wings on
if he had gone to any other mission he would have surely got his wings and then gone onto being gods no.1 man
so since the nostalgia critic existed the angel coudnt become gods no1 man cause he was sent on an impossible mission
thats my theory on how the nostalgia critic messed up the angels life :)
-
12.22.2010 - 15:54 | cheetaboy7
If the guy became God's number 1 angel, where were his wings? Under his suit?
-
12.23.2010 - 14:34 | DaVince
I have a better theory.
God certainly sounded a lot like the Nostalgia Critic... So I gather he must have actually made the Critic in his image and decided to mess around with him a bit, showing the wrong visions when the (almost-)angel stopped by.

And Scott Pilgrim.

12.22.2010 - 12:09 | VioletZer0
I agree! Angry Joe for President!
He will finally sign the bill that decrees that all Chick-fil-a must be open on Sundays.
-
12.22.2010 - 00:04 | Darrell KaiserBoy, who would have guessed he's really just an asshole? No surprises here.
I REALLY wish Spoony could do the show presented here. It'd be a lot better than the stuff he's doing now. Make it happen!!!
-
12.22.2010 - 05:58 | dennett316
And yet, here you are commenting on one of his videos like I'm sure you do every week. Sad existence that is, watching something every week that you claim to hate......sad.
-
12.22.2010 - 11:09 | Darrell KaiserEveryone is entitled to their opinions, dude. You wouldn't act this if I was saying, "He's the greatest there ever was!" So, lighten up.
-
12.22.2010 - 23:19 | THOOM
The reason he wouldn't comment if you complimented the Critic, is because someone who likes NC posting here makes sense. Someone who thinks his videos stink posting here (like you) doesn't make one iota of sense. If I didn't like something, I wouldn't 1) go to the site 2) sign up 3) watch the videos and 4) take the time to dis it, therefore 5)making the product that you claim not to like more popular and wasting your own valuable time.
But I guess that is why trolls exist, they aren't very bright.
-
12.27.2010 - 11:21 | Drake666
Don't feed the trolls !

Dude quite being such a high standard douche when it comes to too High expectations.
Your seriously starting to become the the next timic8 and that's not a good thing.

12.22.2010 - 09:37 | REVIEWER RICK
Great Holiday special. Great twist on a classic cliche !
-
12.22.2010 - 11:48 | moviemaster8510Well, it's not really an original twist. This kind of, "If I didn't exist, the world would actually be a better place." has been done a couple of times before, like the Johnny Bravo episode "Johnny's Guardian Angel" and the Fairly Oddparents episode "It's a Wishful Life." It's funny to see how each TGWTG member bettered their life from Doug's absence, but it's nothing we havn't seen before.
-
12.22.2010 - 16:08 | moviemaster8510Jeez, fuck me for having a valid point.
P.S. It was done in Robot Chicken too.
-
12.22.2010 - 17:47 | Evilsbane
"This kind of, "If I didn't exist, the world would actually be a better place." has been done a couple of times before,"
Yea but I haven't seen many of those end with the guardian angel going Karate on the characters ass and then getting capped in head.
-
12.22.2010 - 22:47 | moviemaster8510Touche
-
12.22.2010 - 20:45 | SlyDante
Not to mention possibly the most famous time it's been pulled off, the "It's A Bundyful Life" episode of Married...With Children. Don't get me wrong, this was still funny as hell...But the familiarity kept nagging at me the whole time.
But yeah, still a cool special all around. Merry Christmas!
-
12.23.2010 - 01:38 | leon101But there was a twist. The NC was happy that he made his life better, and pissed everyone else off.
-
12.27.2010 - 11:22 | Drake666You forgot the Davis and Butthead were Clarence try to make one of them commit suicide...
-
12.22.2010 - 01:45 | Haon
If not for the Critic, in less than a year I would have graduated middle school, high school, and law school, to become the youngest most sucessful Supreme Court Justice of all time. Now, I'm just a semi-average 13 year old, stuggling by, and trying not to let my parents catch anyone on the site swearing. Thank you, Critic! Thank you! (*sobs horribly*)

Best Christmas specal ever!! :D
Gosh, I am in a better Cristmas mood than ever this year.
Also, I LOVE Santa Christ! We all do!
-
12.22.2010 - 22:59 | montanker
Well, you not existing did make one person miserable: Phelous!
Seriously, that guy is awesome! He doesn't deserve that!
-
12.23.2010 - 12:31 | DarkMessiahHeh. Oops. :P I couldn't tell cuz that scene was a little difficult for me to see. I think it was the lighting or something. But thanks for the heads up!

Santa Christ, Santa Christ! We all LOVE Santa Christ!
If Santa Christ is reading to us, does this mean that we're all sick orphans? Cause as we all know, THAT'S who he reads to.
It's awesome to see where everyone from TGWTG would be without the Nostalgia Critic, this is the most epic Christmas tale ever! Merry Christmas, Doug, the would would be so different without you!
-
12.23.2010 - 22:49 | No oneHe also reads to deaf people, but is so awesome they can hear him perfectly.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:03 | MarissaEvans
Have a very merry Christmas, Doug. All the best in the new year.

12.21.2010 - 23:05 | mx1349
"And that's why Marry Poppins had an abortion." Holy fuck dude. Funniest. Line. EVER.
-
12.22.2010 - 01:31 | whatever42
Yeah, that Mary Poppins line had me laughing for about 30 seconds straight. It was definitely a good one and you obviously knew that because it was the after the credits line.
Seriously though, this special was just ... depressing and funny at the same time ... and I loved it. Quite an interesting Christmas present Doug, quite an interesting one indeed.
You know though, I really hope to see more of our angel here. I liked him a lot in this video and I really hope he features in a few more of your videos here and there.
To finish off, Merry Christmas Nostalgia Critic! Enjoy yourself!

Gotta admit, Roger sure fights tough for someone who just got his nuts nipped off 15 minutes ago.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:08 | StarShineDC
I... I can't even... I don't even know. That was... That was INCREDIBLE.
I laughed SO. FUCKING. HARD.
That really made the terrible day I've been having awesome. I love you, NC XD
And I love everyone there at Channel Awesome. You all absolutely rock
:D
Also, I would respond to that want ad IMMEDIATELY
I need more NC in my life, lol
You bring about countless hours of entertainment
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS
p.s.
I wonder what Chester's life would've been like without NC... hm...
"OH MY GOD THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I'VE EVER DIRECTED IN MY LIFE!"
Oh. Well... Nevermind, then.
-
Wow, Critic, not only did you leave out Rob (poor Rob) but you left out Chester A. Bum, Zod, and 90's Kid! How mean! You left out so many people!
-
12.22.2010 - 01:08 | darkmindedsith
Rob is actually Santa Christ (unless you were referring to including Rob himself as an addition).
But either way, Rob has always been what they call "The Other Guy"- the one who is just sort of in the sidelines, does one little thing, and doesn't have a huge role. I'm guessing Rob actually prefers this. Perhaps he's a bit shy.
Also, Doug couldn't just include one random character after the next. The special would end up being an hour long. Certain characters are always going to be left out. Keep in mind this is just a Christmas special, not an anniversary special.
-
02.06.2012 - 09:18 | meridiannemesis
Actually when they returned ti his place I was waiting for Rob and Bum to appeare. Bum not just filthy but filthy rich?
-
12.21.2010 - 23:08 | pap64
I already saw this on blip, and I liked it. Though, I suspect that this will get a lot of hell just like Kickassia got :p .
Story wise, the idea of a backwards "Wonderful Life" had been done before. Robot Chicken did it with Popeye, and the Fairly OddParents did it too. But, I take it Doug and Rob knew this and just wanted to tell THEIR version.
Also, has anyone noticed that 2010 has been the year where Critic was more self aware of his existence? With Kickassia he got a God complex and manipulated everyone into conquering a nation (though he was quickly overthrown). Then in many of the crossover videos and cameos he did, he always appears as someone that apparently owns everyone on this site, including the video he did with CR. Then there was the Pet Monster video where he was destroyed by the film's director, but quickly realized that there was still more to him. And now we have this special where he became aware of the fact that his presence has a negative effect on everyone...and enjoys it.
Weird, no? For a show without any resemblance of story, Nostalgia Critic has had a lot of development.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:11 | DarkMessiahYa know, I never thought of that. But you are so right.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:20 | pap64This is further explained in the video he did with CR. He explained that the reason he felt so possessive over everyone on this site was because he had Kickassia, and then moving back to his normal life caused him to be protective of the only thing he had: his title as the Nostalgia Critic.
But as we have seen in the Pet Monster video, it is a title he regrets as it means he has to tear down his childhood bit by bit. So in his pain and madness, he seeks to torture everyone else, so in this special it isn't surprising that he enjoys the idea of his life making everyone else miserable, because he is a person displeased with his life.
I may be over thinking this, but it is a rather deep development of a character.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:42 | Fangheart
what's the video in witch he did a crossover with CR? and what exactly does "CR" stand for anyway? I don't watch him so I wouldn't know.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:55 | pap64The video was Familiar Faces: Baby Doll, a forgotten Batman character. CR stands for Chad Rocco if I am not mistaken. The basis for that video was that Critic was upset over someone taking his position on the chat, and suspected CR of being that guy. So he installs a camera on CR's house to spy on him.
It was also the first time we see Chad's face.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:15 | darkmindedsithInteresting you mention all that. This is generally a lot of how I see the Nostalgia Critic series ending: NC finally gets the proper closure from his childhood and feels he can finally move on from it.
I better stop right there. I don't even want to think of NC ending. The thought of that is...too tragic.
-
12.22.2010 - 03:33 | PLA"Without any semblance of story"? Isn't a semblance of story exactly what it does have?
-
12.22.2010 - 04:11 | Animikean
forget It's a Bundyful Life?
Up until they checked on the angel's life the storyline was synchronis (not complaining I enjoyed the hell out of this)

12.21.2010 - 23:09 | SpeedyEric
Always nice to see ya, Santa Christ. ;)
I agree with the guardian angel. NC and everyone else on TGWTG.com help me fully appreciate my nerdyness.
Brad Jones DOES have a nice deep voice. I know I talk like that when I'm in the mood.
If Linkara was the president of both Marvel and DC, they would both combine and become Amalgam Comics. BTW, I think "Batman vs. Iron Man" would be better if they worked together.
The Nostalgia Chick directing Twilight? …Only in a universe where Hitler won the war.
Man, I wish Angry Joe actually executed Tom Green on live television.
10:57- I was wondering if they caught the Pheolus thing.
BEST. FIGHT SCENE. OF MAN VS. ANGEL. EVAH!!!!!!!!
16:35- …Never in my entire life would I think I would see Linkara give the bird.
16:46- Like the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, which I love. Shame on you, Spoony.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, TGWTG.COM!!!
-
12.21.2010 - 23:12 | DarkMessiahAh yeah, Linkara's middle finger shocked you too, huh? :P I was like, "O_O Whaaaa? *rewind* ...naawwwww"
-
12.22.2010 - 03:30 | PLAI think he's done it before. He just doesn't like saying things.
-
12.22.2010 - 16:46 | SpeedyEricLinkara actually doesn't say the big swear words. For example, instead of saying "What the f#ck," he says "What the funkin' wagnal."
-
12.23.2010 - 04:04 | DarkMessiahHaha. Well that's good to know. A weird alternative, though..
Ain't that the funkin wagnal truth
-
In movies, they frequently use the X Vs. Y title, even when the two characters are on the same side.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:11 | darkmindedsithThis special could've had Doug making silly faces and armpit noises for 12 minutes. It wouldn't matter. It gets five stars from me simply for the Tom Green joke.
-
12.22.2010 - 03:01 | PIE!!!
Yeah, the Tom Green joke had me laughing so hard. Priceless. This was just an AWESOME special. Thank you, NC and the entire TGWTG crew, for creating this site and helping us embrace who we are.
Who was the guy playing the angel, btw? He had some badass martial arts skills!

With the theme of everyone's life being better, I've got to think that Phelous wasn't in Canada at the time.
-
12.22.2010 - 02:51 | Alfred Mordeir
Well Phelous dies all the time so it was probably a neutral change at best. Though I like to think he was having sex with Bianca Beauchamp at the time of Canada's destruction.
-
12.22.2010 - 02:08 | Lakiver
He'll just be back next episode...
-
12.22.2010 - 04:43 | jurf-rokstar
It's more ironic when you see that Phelous made the animation of Canada exploding.
-
Well Angry Joe is president, at least it wasn't Hilary Clinton, Canada being blown up would be the least of our problems.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:23 | moranca
this one of my favorite reviews considering i watched most of them
-
12.21.2010 - 23:39 | DarkMessiahFunny you mention that, considering it wasn't even a review.
-
12.22.2010 - 19:36 | 0dd1
Well, it was a review of The Nostalgia Critic's life :P
-
12.21.2010 - 23:24 | OniQ
Well one thing for sure, Nostalgia Critic makes Canada a better place :D
Merry Christmas NC!
-
Just an observation. The looks at peoples lives were if they never MET NC. Well the angel met NC so even if he killed NC he would never be God's #1 guy. Just saying.
-
12.22.2010 - 23:04 | Semudara
Yes, that is a plot hole. But he's an angel, so I assumed that as a result of his angel magic, killing NC would give him the power to erase him from existence entirely, thus making the alternate future a reality.
Yeah, they never say any of that, but it's good enough for me.
(And yes, I recognize the irony: that NC would have torn apart such a plot hole! ;)
-
12.23.2010 - 15:56 | TheCooperDude the whole things a joke.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:32 | KingGramJohnsonI bet that Chester A. Bum would be a millionaire...who still begs without the Nostalgia Critic around.
-
12.22.2010 - 00:58 | SpeedyEric"This is Chester A. Bum saying ...CHANGE! YOU WANT CHANGE! AH, COME ON! LET ME HELP A GUY OUT, WILL YA!? COME ON, I GOT CHANGE!"
-
12.22.2010 - 11:04 | Morgoth Bauglir
No. Chester gave that one in his Hancock review:
"Hi. [I'm] Chester Alfred B. Can I interest you in a Cadillac?"
Isn't it just HORRIBLE?!
-
12.21.2010 - 23:33 | MPSai
Oh god.. it just escalated. President Joe made me laugh out loud, and Spoony Critic was so funny I had to pause the video XD
The filming seemed especially good in this one.
So wait you guys made Phelous make Canada blow up?
-
12.22.2010 - 22:53 | Alar
Spoony's insane laughter can do no wrong. It was the high point of the video for me. I absolutely loved the entire thing.
And yes, they made Phelous destroy his own country. Poor bastard. XD
-
12.21.2010 - 23:33 | Pyewacket
A truly heartwarming holiday special. I teared up there for a minute.
Merry Christmas to Doug and everyone at tgwtg.
Just one thing though... would Joe really blow up all of his Canadian fans?
Sad face.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:33 | Dolphin34This is Sooooo much better than It's a wonderful life and Christmas Carol... just kidding. Merry Christmas Everybody
-
12.21.2010 - 23:35 | DanManThat was awesome.
But what about BMB?
-
12.22.2010 - 03:16 | rowdycmoore
Five words: Mathew Buck as The Doctor.
-
12.21.2010 - 23:36 | DanManAnd MERRY CHRISTMAS NC!
-
12.21.2010 - 23:37 | cjetson95Wonder how the Bum would've turned out had there been no Nostalgia Critic...
-
12.22.2010 - 01:42 | The Shamster
The Bum without NC?
He most likely would be a trillionare businessman.
-
This is like a thousand times better than "It's a wonderful life"! :D
Merry Zodmas you magnificent NC...
GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!
The mary poppins line sort of made me die inside though :(
-
12.21.2010 - 23:38 | angahith
That was fucking awesome. XD
But I'm kinda curious what would have happened to the Nerd, if you'd never had that EPIC BATTLE with him. Without a nemesis he might have given up on reviewing and become like... The owner of Nintendo. o_o
-
12.21.2010 - 23:40 | Lucia32Nah, I'm guessing he would have just brawled it out with Pat the NES Punk...that could have gotten bloody.
-
12.22.2010 - 04:09 | Lottech96then Old School Pisces of Shit would be remade awesome.. right? meh one can dream!!
-
12.21.2010 - 23:38 | Lucia32Wow! That was ROFLICIOUS!
Have a Merry Christmas, you guys!
-
12.21.2010 - 23:39 | MrSonicXboomAs a Canadian, I want to kill you in flames, but as I comedian, I wish you a merry Christmas.

Hear me out: Perhaps if Nostalgia Chick had indeed directed “Twilight” then I bet it would’ve been way less gay.
And uuhh.. if Angry Joe were the president of the United freakin States, I would SO join the Angry Joe Army. “Angry Joe wants YOU to kick ass and take names!” he says while pointing a finger and sporting an angry smirk under that presidential ‘stache.
Nostalgia Spoony?? Oh wow... That was creepy. O_O
Sooo… perhaps the Critic really is a dirty rotten bastard. And if it weren’t for him inspiring me to get back into videos, I’d be probably doing video game animation right now. Making loads of cash. Bringin home the sexy ladies.
But hell, sometimes taking a few wrong turns will get you where you need to be. After all, the moral of this story was……..
