Top Ten From Hell: Top Ten Internet Personalities that Need To Go Away

I'm here with another Top Ten. This time, I'm focusing on Internet Personalities. Not the good ones, mind you, but the ones that need to drop off the face of the planet. To meet the criteria to be on this list, the personality must be offensive, unfunny, made for the sake of being childish, a blatent rip-off, or a mix of all of those. Without further ado:

10: Phelous: Believe it or not, he's not on this list because of pettiness. He's really not funny. He dies almost every episode... so, what? He still comes back, rambling like a drunk (seriously, he sounds and acts like a drunk in every video). To add insult to injury, even when he makes a "new" character, they act the same as he does. You know how Will Sasso has to tell you who he's impersonating everytime because he only does one character? The Internet's answer to that is Phelous.

9: Film Brain: He actually started off good. Nothing is wrong with making fun of bad movies, and occasionally ripping ones that were acclaimed that may not have deserved it. And that's purely an opinion based thing. What puts Film Brain on the list is that most of his reviews are nitpicks as of late. I did a break from the "Horrid Horror" because of this. I know Film Brain takes breaks, too, and I can respect that. What I can't, though, is when you call a movie terrible for little reasons that don't matter that much. I'll take him off the list if he reviews Metropia, though.

8: Lee From Still Gaming: While he doesn't appear much, Lee annoys the hell out of me. What started out as a clever solution to not having a web cam turned into a crutch. What's truly bad is when he's not putting stills up for his reviews and ends up rambling about nothing. Like in his "101 in 1 Game" review, when he had to repeatedly tell people that he wasn't drunk.

7: The Nostalgia Chick: There are a lot of things wrong with this one, a "feminist" Nostalgia Critic... that refers to herself as "Chick" being the smallest. How about the Showgirls review that over analyzes the movie (as bad as the movie was) to the point where she claims that in only made women look bad. This is despite the fact that everyone looked bad. Not her biggest complaint was the use of female exploitation in it... despite the fact that she had a review built almost entirely of staring at David Bowie's batch. That's nowhere near as ridiculous as the claim of "James Cameron if the only man who can write a good female character." This was said about Ripley from Alien. Ripley was meant to be a male, but the casting changed because not having a female would hurt the viewership of the movie. I understand wanting equal rights, but she's just a hypocrite... and not a bright one, at that. Oh... and the awful, over exaggerated Sarah Palin impression in "Kickassia." Not funny.

6: Tommy Wiseau Impersonators: What started as a childish response to Tommy Wiseau's idiotic move of suing reviewers for making internet reviews of The Room has turned into a monster. The Nostalgia Critic and Obscurus Lupa both reviewed the movie, and subsequently, a "lawsuit" was threatened by Tommy Wiseau himself. Doug Walker decided that the "mature" answer would be to take the videos down (good...) and make a new video imitating Wiseau, making him look like a bumbling moron (...and you were doing so well...). To make it worse, almost everyone on the site decided to do this same thing, including Phelous (who still acted like himself). The videos have been put back up, but questions of whether or not the lawsuit was even real are being risen. ("The Critic reviews The Room (2003). He considers it "so bad it's good", but criticizes the acting, out-of-sequence editing, unbelievable characters and repetitiveness. The episode was temporarily unavailable on the main site, along with another Room review by Obscurus Lupa, due to claims of copyright infringement from Wiseau Films, however both videos have subsequently been reuploaded onto blip.tv. Soon, on December 12, 2010, The review was posted back on the website. This may have been an attempt to purposely invoke the Streisand effect.^[1] The review was reposted in December 2010. ") Yet, the impressions still go on.

5: The Happy Video Game Nerd: A game reviewer that loves every game, and is happy. And unfunny. And unoriginal. Seriously, he didn't just change a word from "Angry Video Game Nerd." You're just imagining that.

4: The GameTrailers Annoncer: While he's not trying to be funny, the fact that this guy can't even pronounce certain words properly is amazing. The character, "Lynn" from The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena was known as "Line," for example. But, the biggest one was when Akira Yamaoka corrected the guy about the pronunciation of his mast name. During the "apology," the GameTrailers Announcer purposely got the name wrong, again. Amazing.

3: Doug Walker: He started the "Tommy Wiseau" club. He made the blatantly bad "Melvin, Brother of the Joker." His aversion for Christmas has lead him to make both Santa Christ and "Zodmas," a Holiday celebrating the birth of General Zod from Superman II. His Junior review consisted of a screaming Ah-nold baby and a Ah-nold rock of An-nolds repeating "This film is BORING BORING BORING" with a psychedelic background, and not much else. His ego can fill a universe. And to make it even worse, when he says, "You may disagree, but... I'm right," he actually means it. If you disagree with him, in his mind, no matter what, you're wrong. The guy is a massive prick that overstayed his welcome. It's a shame that the good reviewers on his site are starting to act the same way (namely Linkara, sadly to say).

2: The Amazing Atheist/The Distressed Watcher: This guy got his start by, no shit, making videos about how bad every religion is, and how worshipers are all idiots. While Penn Jillette is an atheist, he actually encourages people to spread the word about their religion. The Amazing Atheist would just berate you about it. Then, the Distressed Watcher is made. When his reviews of trailers fell flat, he started reviewing pop songs... after Todd in the Shadows started reviewing them. Following on the heels of other personalities, he's now riffing bad movies, and posting "original" art for the promo-pics. Original art, being screenshots from the movie edited in PhotoGoo. What's next, The Worried Gamer? "How dare Lords of Shadow mention God?" How full of hate does one really need to be?

1: Yahtzee Croshaw: Yahtzee took a hiatus from creating sub-par games when he became a massive prick, claiming that all games were inferior. Now, he's reviewing them, saying that all games are inferior. When he started, he wasn't that bad, usually finding redeeming factors in games. Now, every game is bad, no reason. What's worse is that people blindly follow his advice. The breaking point, though, is the analogy of America being like a fan-fiction writing girl that needs to be raped. This was about CoD: Black Ops, and his reasoning was that Americans just want WWIII. Whatever cave he went into the first time he went away, he needs to return, and stay there. No one in the right mind takes him seriously, anyway.
