About

Nostalgia Critic's "The Wall" refers to The Nostalgia Critic's review/parody of the Pink Floyd movie "The Wall", which was panned by fans and viewers for its poor quality, unfunny humor, and weak critiques of the film.

Origin

On September 18th, 2019, Channel Awesome uploaded a 40 minute review of the film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall. The video, unlike most Nostalgia Critic videos, is an outright parody of the film instead of a straightforward, humorous critique. The parody co-stars Corey Taylor of Slipknot. It gained over 430,000 views in a week.



Spread

Viewers quickly expressed their distaste for the video in the comments of the video and on Twitter. User @krycklund[1] tweeted, "I watched remastered, stabilized video of John F Kennedy getting shot with his brains splattering all over the car and the Nostalgia Critic review of The Wall is without a doubt the worst thing i have ever seen" (shown below, left). User @cam_sh[2] wrote "Nostalgia Critic's review of The Wall is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. Genuinely embarrassed at my teenage self for lapping this shite up" (shown below, right).

CartoonPalooza @JoeyTCartoonP Nothing was more jarring than seeing the Nostalgia Critic review for Pink Floyd's The Wall switch between Doug's green screen compositing to a competent animator like FENNAH.

It's an incomprehensible mess and future internet reviewers should take notes on it, because it's going to end up being the poster boy for everything you shouldn't do in a review.
