[@cutesymarie5441]

Channel Awesome yw you beautiful man!!

[@valdezsaihttam5871]

Channel Awesome Can you please review the remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

[@alwinwinter1645]

Channel Awesome I do not get the thing with "aired originally 2011. Could you explain?

[@jackee-is-silent2938]

Good god man, how could you watch this crap? I didn't even last more than a minute watching your review because of the film clips. You really do watch it so we don't have to.

[@lovelyheiferdev]

alwin winter The episode was originally uploaded in 2011, but somewhere in 2014 (or '15), copyright sweeps (manned predominantly by Viacom but other studios joined as well) deleted HALF of his vids, and some others were claimed by studios for monetization purposes, leaving the Critic dry.

[@rednemo9634]

Nostalgia Critic, making the unwatchable bearable for almost 10 years.

[@salchichajones6628]

Men, the tv stations in my country put this movie like 5 times per year when I was a kid and I had to watch it every time!

[@rednemo9634]

PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!!!!!!

[@jimmyjohnson1426]

Red Nemo That's my cookie!

[@redactedflinn6988]

couldn't agree more, godspeed critic, godspeed...

[@dionwoollaston5717]

Red Nemo i know right after watching the wizard review I went and got the movie it was ok but with the critics help it became so much better

[@DizzyDoduo]

The animatronic baby is the true villain of this movie.

[@PippinBeutlin]

Ted the animatronic baby should be in 5 nights at freddys

[@mid1429]

Ted it looks like big head from RE7

[@129das]

It is really a horror movie.

[@nicoquintana1335]

I love animatronic baby this movie

[@Poppy_and_ponies]

I knew it

[@giovanniorellana2200]

Even when the movie is so freaking boring, Nostalgia Critic can make it just a bit better with his humor! God bless you, NC!

[@totaldramasurvivorfan9866]

Giovanni Orellana Doug Walker is a legend is comedy!

[@salchichajones6628]

Like every other video he made :p

[@EstherHulst-Artist]

Giovanni Orellana that exactly what I think because of him I enjoyed the care bears😂 Sorry its not darkheart its DARKHEART👹

[@thewolfawakens2198]

Giovanni Orellana AMEN!!!!!!!!!

[@YuniorGamboa]

Giovanni Orellana Amen!!

[@KAYSC3A]

A message to Hollywood: removing reviews of bad movies won't make people like it. It just makes you look desperate and makes me angry.

[@598superchris]

Who's done that and when?

[@kaijukid1443]

Preach it, brother! 🤘

[@superpan218]

What's more, bribing critics to give movies glowing reviews isn't gonna help, either.

[@solsticeofsins6039]

Seeing Doug walk through my university is the most surreal experience I’ve ever felt watching a film review.

[@williammason3229]

I had almost forgotten that that movie existed. was it really nessasary to re open such old wounds. and the kids Toddlers not Baby's?

[@keiskay]

william mason toddler geniuses doesn't sound right, or flow right.

[@williammason3229]

keiskay actually neither sound good. this movie also reminds me of that failed attempted show Baby bob.

[@keiskay]

i meant by how they literally sound when spoken, not by how the idea itself sounds.

[@dionwoollaston5717]

william mason amazing all the insanity in this movie and that's the bit you have a problem with

[@anikmonette2140]

william mason Don't nitpick, or you'll end up with a 1 million word comment...😂 Because according to this "movie" babies have adult skulls, knows things that even Einstein or Hawkins never figured out yet they still shit their diapers, hypnose gives you a robotic voice, random people can "check" your home when the neighborhood blacks out, kidnapping kids involve somehow a bag because just taking the little shit away is too simple, babies can run in traffic and nobody will give a rats ass, just giving the name of the main characters in the first five minutes is apparently enough when it comes to give a shit about them later(I still don't remember the lady's name), having a two years old punch you in the face is enough to knock an adult out, they can't learn babies language despite having a computer interpret "baby music", Whit and his sister should be at least 9 month apart in age.. Can go on like that for hours!

[@PWNDotcom3299]

You know what would make this an actually good film? The babies aren't actually geniuses. Imagine if the babies were actually just regular old stupid babies, and the adults just seriously overreact and are completely delusional, and so many things happen that the adults blame on the babies.

[@matthewjones6786]

Ooh, clever. It'd be difficult to pull off, but not impossible.

[@TheMrMojoRisin67]

Make it a comedy-horror film, and I'd see it.

[@TheSpawnfan]

so, like a dark comedy version of Rugrats? i can see that happening and doing well.

[@plattytheperrypus5701]

That actually sounds clever

[@lastactionbellwether6926]

And at the end, they get sent off to a mental people's home.

[@UkieKooki]

Andre the Giant + Gollum = Colin Mochrie Baby Animatronic

[@nathaniellugo3435]

even that sounds less scarier than the animatromic in the movie

[@valerietheodore1688]

Some how that sounds like an insult of that pairing.

[@johnvincent1823]

Nightmare Fuel Scale 1-5 1. Freddy Kruger (Creepy) 2. Xenomorph Queen (Unsettling) 3. Cenobites (Disturbing) 4. "The Thing" (Traumatic) 5. Baby Bunting (Soul-Tormenting)

[@kikml22]

my mom was kathleen turner's personal assistant for almost seven years in the 80s and even she can't fathom why kathleen agreed to be in this movie

[@nolandavis1129]

The CGI is better than Food Fight

[@Dunston24]

Yuya Sakaki Let's be honest. The CGI in a lot of things is better then that POS

[@Shimamon27]

Movies like Food Fight exist to make people aware of what bad CGI is. It also makes the new berserk look decent.

[@arturovillarreal2129]

Yuya Sakaki that not saying much

[@557deadpool]

Mindeer no Berserk is worse

[@e-tan3911]

Yuya Sakaki screw the ending of arc-v!!!!!!!

[@lelandunruh7896]

Doug's running internal monologue is my everyday life.

[@jackattack17]

Is it just me or does Christopher Lloyd look more like Vladimir Lenin in this film than he does in The Pagemaster?

[@benjamin_burke]

The catwalk scene is one of the most horrifying scenes in film history. Like, seriously, that belongs in The Shining.

[@obiwankenobi9141]

It’s the shinning. do you want to get sued?

[@furioussherman7265]

17:04 is an especially egregious one for me. I hate it when good musicians get dragged into bad movies, and Randy Travis had a beautiful singing voice.

[@AGrayPhantom]

15:13 The true inspiration for 5 Nights at Freddy's.

[@welcometothemetaverse2523]

"Simpsons did it!" was a thing before Family Guy made that joke? Wow. That is low.

[@Flaxdosh]

Well to be fair South Park called it

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

"Why does he need to hear all of this?" He's having some memory loss because HE WAS FROZEN TODAY!

[@twinkletoez26]

last time I was this early, the joke I'm making was original

[@dernamenlosefan]

TwinkleToez26 Let's be honest: It was never original.

[@2RG_]

TwinkleToez26 let's be honest you're a fucking moron bitch 🖕

[@SunnyFloridaGirl]

I don't know how old I was when I watched this movie, but it came out when I was either 4 or 5. I remember that I thought the baby mascot was weird. I think I wanted to believe the idea that kids could be smarter than adults. It's really weird seeing clips now because I don't think I quite understood that the kids were dubbed with special effects the first time I watched this movie.

[@angelpersonaldvds9049]

Christopher Lloyd looks like a 90s version of Walter White (Breaking Bad)

[@eljefe6609]

man nostalgia critic sure loves his walls

[@gothnerd887]

He should check out wall staring meditation (yes that's a thing)

[@rattailtony2900]

Unfortunately the rest of the Internet disagreed.

[@619WWEFAN]

Please react to Dennis the Menace movie

[@619WWEFAN]

I won't lie, I loved it as a kid. But I also loved tom and jerry the movie, and I realized what a disaster that movie was

[@84Static]

Sssh!! wanna get sued by Fine bros say Review and not Reacted😉

[@SFK360]

I absolutely loved that movie as a kid. Would thoroughly enjoy watching NC tear it apart.

[@619WWEFAN]

Hey James. One thing I wished NC would explain is, he said sometimes he enjoys a movie just for being so silly / the movie is so terrible it's actually hilarious. Dennis the Menace was incredibly silly in so many ways, even the way the thief and Mr Wilson got angry, I can't stop laughing XD

[@tthomaselli2]

As always, The Nostalgia Critic never ceases to amaze me. Thanks, a lot.

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

12:43 I've seen too many bad movies! -Nostalgia Critic (2011)

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

"A survivor of being frozen, Christopher Lloyd."

[@WilsTube]

13:21 poor Jim Hanks, at least he does a spot on impersonation of his more popular brother Tom!

[@c-m9077]

"Booze. I must have booze." -NC 2011 Best line of Nostalgia Critic. ever. period.

[@MrAspiringactor]

14:57 Critic isn't going to point out how she's wearing Stewie Griffin's overalls?

[@gothnerd887]

12:00 and thus Nostalgia Critic discovered a meditation style that's been around since ancient Japan. Wall staring meditation, simply stare at a fixed space on the wall and let thoughts flow in and out like water but don't linger on the thoughts and try not to do it so long that your limbs fall off

[@marshmellow9281]

Hey Channel Awesome, I would like to say a quick word for my friend and I. We are huge fans of your guys' work. His videos always make him laugh, and I as well. We both love your content and we always enjoy the latest video you upload. My friend loves the shit out of Nostalgia Critics work, and he NEVER stops talking about your latest videos! Thanks guys. You are one of the few channels that still makes quality content, which is especially difficult to find these days what with the Adpoclypse going around. Thank you for always producing great content (except for Bart's Nightmare) and we look forward to the many laughs to come :) -Two Obviously Huge Fans

[@merupateru]

you've helped me alot through depression Nostalgia Critic, someone left me devastated and your videos are all that's keeping me going, so thanks for everything.

[@jamescollins2068]

I'm pretty sure this counts as child abuse..... and neglect..... And possibly rape. Okay maybe not that last one.

[@Troglodyte98]

No, you're correct on the last one. A raping of your senses.

[@Nothin2seehere-e4z]

James Collins Well a few people will rape a child or a baby. Disgusting.

[@moondoria8401]

17:57. That’s how I feel towards school.

[@TheChosenMoose01]

RIP Adam West. Easily the greatest batman of all time

[@thattaht]

Not the right time. Not the right place. Just doing it for likes.

[@TheChosenMoose01]

That Guy not really dude. I don't think a lot of people know he passed.

[@MrChadd990]

RIP Adam West

[@alimacchannel]

The Chosen Moose I certainly didn't! How sad :(

[@ferbthe2gadgetguy]

The Chosen Moose holy shit I didn't even knew he died

[@AxenfonKlatismrek]

"Yeah, lets face it movie, you're made for rocks" my favorite line from this review

[@cosmicter7647]

Hey, Nostalgia Critic. Did you hear Adam West died yesterday?

[@theyoungmoviegoer5915]

King of Pandas oh my god . Rip Adam west and his batman , cat man and the mayor of quahog from family guy . Adam wee for life

[@NameEntry]

He died yesterday unfortunately.

[@AidanLastName]

King of Pandas He died today i thought

[@statueteethtv]

King of Pandas are you fucking serious

[@TheToonyloon]

Statue Teeth TV Yes, it's true.

[@e-tan3911]

i watched this... then the next day i failed a math test... and I have strait A' s in math honors

[@finalstarman3086]

E- tan but you failed English as evident with your use of "strait" or was it geography you failed?

[@victoriaperrin6210]

They could use the right strait/straight before they saw Baby Geniuses

[@superstarultra28]

This and the Jungle 2 Jungle review are among my favorite NC reviews.

[@grifftrain]

I love jungle 2 jungle review also

[@justinradford5645]

I think the 2nd guy to get his balls smacked with a ski was one of Tom Hanks' brothers.

[@klimmr]

7:08 Did you know that she actually played Chuckie's mom in the Rugrats Mother's Day special? How did she go from a genius episode about babies to Baby Geniuses?

[@cinephile9885]

I pray for you, NC. The horror.

[@bobdylan568]

the animatronic scene is the original fnaf

[@SenecaGray]

This entire review reminds me of a snippet from Fawful's Minion regarding Pokemon XY's graphics. "I'll put it blunt and deadpan this time. Holy shit, those graphics."

[@tacodog767]

Seriously? This was a real fucking thing?

[@Beacuzz]

This is one of those movies that I keep thinking I hallucinated

[@leathery420]

13:30. Tom hanks? His lost twin?

[@MrAspiringactor]

It's actually his brother. No way Tom Hanks himself would be caught dead in this movie!

[@supermariofan03]

MrAspiringactor Instead He was caught dead in the Da Vinci trilogy.

[@MrAspiringactor]

@@supermariofan03 That was based on a popular series of books, it's not that surprising that any actor said yes to that.

[@iliketrains263]

8:59 "madness....madness upon stupidity" as he walks by an akatsuki member in a leather jacket..... i dont know if this is intentional but i like it

[@eduardohayashi5540]

15:07 Five Nights At Babies! XD

[@MrChadd990]

lawl

[@annscott1926]

Guilty pleasure, it's just so bad I laughed through the whole thing. It's like a Stephen king miniseries directed by M night Shyamalan.

[@michellewarns1330]

Omg, you're right! XD

[@SphankeyPD]

This movie is so cringy. Thank dog Nostalgia Critic made it somewhat less painful. It's almost even kind of funny.

[@jacobesnard]

13:01 they couldn't even get stunt doubles to look remotely similar.

[@lukestorm4866]

7:05-i want that John Egbert shirt

[@cjhs2006]

I Was a Literal Baby When I 1st Saw Baby Geniuses in Theaters,&,I Loved it

[@stoneyboyd]

9:14 the scene that Nostalgia Critic said had better CGI then son of the mask

[@amateurkpopblogspot]

"If Newborn Babies Could Speak They Would Be The Most Intelligent Beings On Planet Earth"

[@ShiroKage009]

That Nicholas Cage impression was freaking amazing.

[@thesmilingman7576]

4:16 the ibfected tinky winky face and scream doesn't help make this less terifying

[@arbitterm]

Wide angle lens thing make sense if they're trying to show a baby's perspective. Emphasizes how big adults must seem to babies. But the fact that they use it in scenes where there are no babies just proves that they went to the Battlefield Earth School of Pretentious Filmmaking Choices

[@klimmr]

13:14 My reaction to watching Blue's Clues and You. The episodes are literally shot-for-shot remakes of the original episodes!

[@PhoenixGamer9613]

Wow. This is so bad that it makes Boss Baby look like a masterpiece of movie entertainment.

[@billicatato-9441]

2:07 walter white?

[@nobodyshome4633]

That “stop him!” at 2:05 sounded so much like Tommy Lee Jones lol

[@TheMrMojoRisin67]

Ah, yes...I was actually at this con. First time going to an anime convention. It helped that it was at my alma mater, BGSU, and I was living in the dorms at the time. I'm even in the crowd shot during Nostalgia Critic's meltdown midway through the vid (black coat next to the Hunter S. Thompson cosplayer in the right column of seats and toward mid-back...just look for the white hat and yellow glasses), so that was pretty awesome to see this video shortly after going to this con, needless to say. Doug and Rob were both great and friendly, even with fans who were too nervous to say much other than a quiet, "Hi, I like your reviews" (AKA Me). Best con I've ever gone to...well, maybe tied with Wizard World when I saw Robert Englund's panel back in 2014. Anyone who read this jumbled mess, thank you for your time. :P

[@neomphahlele6922]

Do nine lives and norm of the north and jack and jill

[@neomphahlele6922]

Thanks. I saw it on twitter. I'm so excited

[@dawsonbrannan9977]

Link to the tweet?

[@asiabrown99]

Wish granted

[@SgtScorpious]

2 of the 3 granted

[@asiabrown99]

Kowz of Rule right

[@darthcinema1415]

The Baby Animatronic is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen. It is just as scary as the nightmare Arnold baby from Junior, and baby Loki from Son of the Mask. What is it with truly awful movies and creepy babies?!

[@dakotacalcaterra8748]

Lloyd looks like Vladimir Lenin

[@jeremiahhester6408]

More like a Walter White doll.

[@masedaace5473]

This was to the Critic what Desert Bus was to the AVGN.

[@Pnuemonia-Nakey]

I think I discovered the secret of the movie. This film was written about babies, for babies, BY babies

[@DavrenHelsmere]

I love how whenever NC goes to a convention, he tries to implement it in someway, like with the Casper review :3

[@SpikerMan]

I do like that wall.

[@BlueJWay999]

I met the triplets who were the twin brothers in this movie. They use to play hockey in my home town.

[@marshmellow9281]

I'm sad to say this is one of the few movies I have actually seen BEFORE nostalgia critic.

[@marsalien4]

Lol "the baby sweared" at 6:20. You're looking for "swore", Doug! This video is just as good this time as it was when I saw it . . . fucking hell, 6 YEARS AGO? Dammit, I'm old.

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

3:44 (Nostalgia Critic the first time he saw the movie): WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! WHAT THE ABSOLUTE MONKEY BULLF**** MADE THIS PIECE OF CHUCK-E-CHEESE ANIMATRONIC BUTT CRACK! IT'S LIKE BARNEY THE DINOSAUR HAD A HUMAN BABY FACE SMASHED INTO HIS FACE WITH SHIT WHILE HE TURNED ROBOTIC! THANK GOD THAT HE DOESN'T SAY BARNEY'S LOVE SONG.

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

I love you, you love me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (RUNS INTO THE NEAREST CLIFF)

[@j-so2zp]

the next comic con I may dress up as doug walker

[@supermariofan03]

The second guy who repeats the same dialogue and gets hit in the nuts is Tom Hanks’s brother! I could imagine how things turn out: Jim: Hey bro. What did you do this year? Tom: Well I did a sequel to Toy Story and I did a movie from the director of The Shawshank Redemption. What about you Jim? Jim: I got hit in the nuts by a baby. Tom: ...Yeah this is why you’re about as successful as me as Joe Estevez is as successful as Martin Sheen.

[@davetheanimerock5948]

So many people are like "R.I.P adam west" while I'm like "HE DIED ON MY BIRTHDAY!?"

[@jamesl.anderson1384]

10:06 Nostalgia Critic: Darn You!!!

[@veritateseducational217]

I remember my parents putting me in my crib so they could have alone time. They stuck in the VHS and shut my door. I got out of my crib and kept trying to press the eject button but I couldn’t reach it (I was like 3) I realize today that this is what messed me up for life

[@RoyalRoseTrue]

The Babies curse in this movie. They must be taking Schwarzenegger lessons.

[@adiahaalexander9359]

I don't know why but I just *love* the way Doug says the word baby. I liked it in his Care Bears II review as well.

[@pyrolusite_d]

[@tysontremblay4952]

The unbelivable thing is you can see the fucking line on the baby's neck during that dancing scene. The lighting two makes it painfully clear that they just popped the footage on that. Jesus fucking christ. That is glorious.

[@GuideZer0]

7:30 How did a guy from 2019 end up in a 1999 movie?

[@shonenfanboy1943]

Strange?

[@davidthenerd9192]

The in pink also play The Paper Brigade and house arrest

[@AnthonyThings]

4:25 this has almost nothing to do with the video, but that's the imp wake up sound from doom

[@wiibrockster]

This movie is Horribly Boring

[@Argedis]

Love these older NC vids just plain humor, no need for skits

[@noobalot1370]

When I watched the scene of the toys attacking a long time ago as a child ( like 5 years old), I could only watch and try not to kill myself while buying the movie just to burn it and jump into it my self to get rid of the horrors and asked to GOD at night to get rid of my memories at any cost in my parents Bedroom.

[@shelivsbaxters]

Is it just me or Christopher Lloyd would make à perfect Lenin for a Biopic ... ?

[@tetrofita1787]

5:40 You just told the plot of a chowder episode

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

Nostalgia Critic is the hero we deserve and need.

[@sophiegerlofs4611]

13:52 after someone watch the emoji movie!

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

It’s explained the babies are geniuses cuz the knowledge their parents have is passed down genetically, and honestly I like that idea. It’s basically the myth that DNA can contain memories of the person it belongs to. You’ll find that in the Assassins Creed franchise, the Astro Boy movie with Nic Cage etc.

[@DizzyGamerOfficial]

I. Wanted. To. Meet. You. So. Badly! Your channel hit me so hard, I LOVE this channel!

[@kittycatmeowmeow963]

6:33 Babies can communicate to each other and forget all about it right after they learn to talk. Of course, it has nothing to do with being genius.

[@tolman4497]

there was a guy with John Egbert's Shirt. That is all.

[@kennethconklin4140]

At 13:08 this reminds me of the little skit from Wayne's World 2, when Wayne asks for directions to a church on Gordon St. And the first actor sucks making wayne ask for another actor, Charleston Heston, to read the line. Haha But that joke worked, whereas the stair scene didn't.

[@kimm4615]

What audience was this movie even targeted at???

[@richardconaway4156]

judging by the repetition of the same scenes every 3 minutes and the very premise of the movie i'd say adults well into their 30's with the attention span of babies and possibly the senile elderly who would've thought this was another movie and were in the screening by complete accident or who got the wrong dvd at the store.

[@juhaniaho6698]

Kim Peter Griffin. Just, Peter Griffin.

[@kmailow57]

Rocks.
