01.03.2011 - 16:37 | dbf975178

HAHAHAHAhAHAH happy new year!!

01.03.2011 - 22:25 | Timic83tgwtg3

This wasn't that great (the xmas special), I don't know why the nostalgia critic acts like it was funny, we just wanted a regular review without guest stars.

(awaiting thumbs down from fanboys)

Don't waste your time on this troll people... You will only satisfy the hunger!

01.04.2011 - 17:43 | Morgoth Bauglir

Am I feeding the Troll?

01.09.2011 - 19:21 | TheCooper

Hey are you the same troll that was banned who was originally name was Timic8?Cause you just sound so similar.

01.11.2011 - 22:10 | Floweramon

Correction: You, and probably others given the thumb ups you got, wanted a review specifically. Others were happy to get what we got.

01.02.2011 - 22:52 | elelgood90

Another show that did the twist on It's A Wonderful Life was Married with Children.
I loved the special, so it not being the first time someone has done it didn't make it less funny.

01.03.2011 - 03:30 | REVIEWER RICK

Me and my family loved your version of this classic tale. BTW my father is now a fan after I showed him the video.

01.03.2011 - 09:09 | Asuka Soryu

.__________. You beat me to it.

01.03.2011 - 09:58 | August M.

Yeah, with Al deciding to stay born so his Family can be miserable with him.

01.03.2011 - 19:23 | cool70sfreak - Aha, just what I was going to say.

Yeah, I was just going to mention that too. His family is all wonderful without him, and things aren't looking so good, but Al's all "...I can't let them be that happy, I want them to be miserable with me!" That said, this special was still great, and the ending was a bit different from all the other ones I've seen.

01.11.2011 - 10:32 | JimmyboneD

Also, the Annoying Orange did it.

01.02.2011 - 23:15 | LoghanZ

I don't think I've laughed this hard in a long time.

01.02.2011 - 23:18 | zrice03

Also (naturally) Simpsons did it. Although there it was how life would have been different if Homer and Marge never met. Homer married a wealthy socialite and Marge was President of the US.

01.03.2011 - 05:54 | No one

I think I might have seen that. Was it the one with the sauce?

01.02.2011 - 23:33 | nishyneko

Sweet!!! He is going to vegas! I wonder if spoony is going too I voted for everyone I liked on the site that were nominated. Awesome commentary Doug!

01.02.2011 - 23:51 | Senor Incognito - umkay

commentaries...hmmmn

01.03.2011 - 00:44 | Colonel Martin Hessler

great video critic its really interesting to see how much you put into it cuz i had no idea it took more than one day and whatnot

01.03.2011 - 00:21 | Steven_Danger

I always love hearing what goes into these. Great job

01.03.2011 - 00:32 | patrick_o

Excellent.

01.03.2011 - 00:45 | Rahhel

Actually, "Married...with Children" did it too. Oughta have seen that show.

Still, a great show. Never thought I would see Joe as president.

01.03.2011 - 00:45 | damonstein

wow never noticed the pony tail the first time i watched.

01.03.2011 - 00:57 | WhitCake

Your commentaries are always interesting at least. :]

01.03.2011 - 01:10 | Grimfang

hahhahahahahahhahahahhaha hahah

01.03.2011 - 01:16 | Gethenian

I always love commentaries and it's so cool to know who the heck Orlando is now. He really was awesome and I would love to see him again. :)

01.03.2011 - 01:35 | rockybalboa211

Did not expect this commentary! (cries in joy) Thank you NC and you deserve every award on the planet for what you do!

Simpsons did it!
Married with children did it!
The Fairly Oddparents!
Johnny Bravo did it! (Pops life was magnificent!)

01.03.2011 - 03:39 | LikaLaruku

Yes, that's what it reminded me of, Married with Children.

01.03.2011 - 21:25 | MissAshley

"Woooooooah, Jablonskis!"

01.03.2011 - 13:19 | mykejtheotherone - and...

Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

01.03.2011 - 23:11 | SailorCardKnight

Add the Nicktoon The Angry Beavers to that list.

In one ep, Daggett sees everyone's life would have been better without him. Then what does he do upon seeing this? Why, he decides to screw over everyone in the alternate world without him and make them miserable there too...

It was amusing.

01.03.2011 - 01:40 | DuosAngel

Yay commentaries! I hope we get to see Orlando in the future. He was really fun to watch. I think you are the first to show what the angel's life would be like without the person they're supposed to cheer up.

01.03.2011 - 01:40 | rockybalboa211

I love that Phelous, while not in the video mind you, still dies! Poor Poor Phelous, your the Kenny of TGWTG. Cthulhu forever! :D

For some reason I still wanted to see a naked Cinema Snob dancing on the front porch.

01.03.2011 - 01:45 | Sinsorrow

I remember dying when Bargo showed up with the puppet Giggles

01.03.2011 - 01:57 | The_Awesometeer

Bargo needs a puppet show now

01.03.2011 - 02:05 | SciFiFee

I hope to see more of Orlando when you get a chance; I looked at the guy and thought "Who IS that, and why is he AWESOME!?"

01.03.2011 - 02:21 | TigerRaptorFX

I think Orlando needs spot on this website. Seems like a cool guy!

01.03.2011 - 02:19 | BabyImplosion

How could anyone dislike your friend's performance as the angel in this? Could of failed miserably, but he pulled off the role dead-on. Wouldn't mind seeing if he could maintain other roles outside of being an angel.

01.03.2011 - 02:24 | deadgeneration420

The guy who you couldn't remember is Jerrid Foiles. He appears in a few Snob episodes in bit roles.

01.03.2011 - 02:32 | Dark Crow I - This is Awesome

I love these commentaries, they are just so funny. I also love the explanation behind the clips, and I think out of all the clips I like Linkara as the president of Marvel and DC, Spoony as the Nostalgia Critic, and President Joe blowing up my country the most(vote for Joe). On a side not Joe should only blow up Quebec, they are whiney about how they don't want to be with Canada and they have there own government party that can only be voted for in Quebec. Great special and great commentary, good luck at the award show.
P.S. You are(as Douchey said to The Spoony Nostalgia Critic) a treasure to us all.

01.03.2011 - 07:10 | Doleth

Look dude, we wouldn't whine so much if you guy learned to pronounce word like about correctly. I mean come on, you're making us look like dork in front of all the cool country!

Seriously though, I just want to address the fact that the other province can't vote for the Bloc Québécois. In theory, you could vote for that party, it just that there is no or almost no deputy outside of the province of Québec since this political party want people who really care about Québec and the French language. It be like complaining that the deputy in the Rhinoceros Party are in it for the lolz. For those who don't know, the Rhinoceros party is a joke party in Canada who at various point in it history wanted to, among other things, abolish the law of gravity, make Great Britain the eleventh Canadian province and declaring war on Belgium because Tintin, a Belgian comic book character, killed a rhinoceros unless Belgium sent a case of Belgian beer to their headquarter. (They did, therefore narrowly avoiding the great Belgium-Canada war)

I have a video on youtube where I clearly show the difference between the stereotype aboot and the actual word about, I am not from Newfoundland genius.

01.03.2011 - 02:37 | RanmaCMH

Having the dialogue on the episode muted really gives you a chance to enjoy the physical comedy and catch some great facial expressions. It's like watching a living cartoon. Great fun!

01.03.2011 - 03:02 | Soan

I hope you do the TMNT commentary next. I thought it was hilarious.

01.03.2011 - 03:30 | david with a small d - live action examples of the same trope:

Funny you mention 'Blackadder' in the commentary, as they ALSO did a christmas special, where the 'guardian angel/spirit of christmas' (played by Robbie Coltrane) accidentally convinces the only nice Blackadder in history to be a douche just like the rest of his ancestors.

http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=-rCo5Fx-nlI

Another live-action use of the same payoff is in 'Married with Children', where Al is so shocked at how much better off everyone else would be without him, that he comes back to life just to piss everybody off.

http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=NXkRAMEdmEY

01.03.2011 - 18:23 | Semudara

Oh, he knows about the Blackadder Christmas special. It's in one of his two lists of the Best Christmas Specials.

01.03.2011 - 03:38 | LikaLaruku

TGWTG group projects are always boss. This site really knows how to end & bring in the new year.

01.03.2011 - 03:43 | PIE!!!

Noah's laugh was so brilliantly implemented.

Orlando's performance was awesome. I really liked how he handled the tonal shift of his character from being an optimistic and cheery fellow into a sinister and cocky killer.

01.03.2011 - 03:50 | minor_fifth

Interesting! This is my first time watching a commentary on this site and it was more fun than I expected :) It's cool to hear you talk about the other contributors on the site; it really sounds like you have a lot of affection/respect for them.

The Oval Office IS yellow, isn't it? I thought so, but Google Images seems to think it's a lot of different colors...

01.03.2011 - 10:20 | dilbert719

First, this video was absolutely brilliant. Yeah, it's a reasonably common concept (that I'm surprised Doug hadn't come across), but the execution here was better than any other, even taking into account Sam Kinison as Al Bundy's angel.

Orlando... Damn. Too funny for words. We need more guest spots from him, I'm definitely hoping for the Bargo Puppet Reviews, and... honestly, I'm having a hard time thinking of something in this review that wouldn't go well expanded out a bit.

minor_fifth, the reason you're getting conflicted information from Google Images is that each administration is given a redecoration budget, with the President and First Lady (along with certain other high-ranking officials) getting to decide, within certain guidelines, the decor of the White House and other locations (I vaguely remember that some elements of Air Force One are changeable as well.) They can change the paint job, carpeting, upholstery, desk... essentially anything they like, so long as it's not too difficult to pull off. Congressmen get the same perks, though they're far more limited (I believe they can choose from four or five colors for their outer office, as it's too expensive to give all 541 Representatives/Senators/ Delegates free rein. Cheaper to buy in bulk, and let them choose from a couple colors.)
