WTF WED! THE NOSTALGIA CRITC & THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD in THE MYSTERY OF THE YANNICORN!

WTF WEDNEDSAY PRESENTS

D-DESUKA!? This was a real weird one to find out about, but its sort of completely awesome to know that there are fans for our favorite internet reviewers over in Japan! I've talked about the Angry Video Game Nerd before (check out this classic article of AVGN VS. Arino the Kacho), but I don't think I've really pimped out Nostaglia Critic. The Critic is a character at the center of an entire network of video reviewers. The character Doug Walker plays is a personification of the cynical critic in all of us critical folk when it comes to entertainment-- going off into rants and moments of temporary insanity in reaction to horrors like...well...TWO ANIMATED TITANIC MOVIES?! (One HERE. And one HERE). His specialty is reviewing 80's and 90's tripe, but has known to do some retrospectives, top ten lists, and has started breaking into the 2000's for some fresh nostalgia & exceptions. Doug Walker actually retired the character last summer but, to quote him, "the review must go on!" He started reviewing again-- he may have changed some things but, if the Pearl Harbor review is any indication, the King is back baby.


This a new classic animation from secretagentbob, featuring, in their debut roles, the Yannicorn, Kenny G.sus, &, last but certainly not least, Munch the Hungry Star Cat Fish! The Star Cat Fish really steals the show with

"Little Kitty Baby eating marshmallow pie, oh man!
Sometimes I feel like my life is a marshmallow lie!
Little Kitty Baby eating the world with my face,
OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM!"

Bonus nerd points if you can name off the titles to these classic Hanna Barbera cartoons in the comments below.
