The first time I saw Spoony, it was in the two "Spooning with Spoony" episodes. Take from that what you will. The second one's my favorite.When Linkara rants, just like when Film Brain rants, it amuses me. Their accents are just not conducive to ranting, and it's just funny for me to see them try their damnedest to sound all angry and srs bizness. PUSHINGUPROSES! I forgot PUR! I love her older game LPs with Todd, Paw, or both of them. And Paw, I love his musicals reviews. I actually want to watch "Sound of Music" and "Repo: The Genetic Opera" now. Not PoTO, though, I'll content myself with the original book. I loved the "Spooning with Spoony" bits. So wrong...So so so wrong...Yet so awesome. Linkara's accent does amuse me, though my grandma's from Michigan originally and so I'm used to people who say things like "Rhüf." His rants, however, tend to annoy me, since he's bitching about specific instances of sexism in COMIC BOOKS, which is like pointing out individual droplets of water in the ocean that are wet. I know he's addressed that. Still annoys the fuck out of me. Especially since unrealistic portrayals of women are the bread and butter of comic books. TV Tropes doesn't call gravity-defying D+ cups "The Most Common Superpower" for nothin'. I only saw PUR relatively recently. She needs to do more stuff with Todd. They work really well together.

The gay version of Spooning with Spoony was...just...wonderful. Also, That Chick With The Goggles? Mrrrrm.
Nah, PUR needs to do more with Todd and Paw. They almost had a threesome last time. *creeper glee*
Yeah, as far as Linkara, I've been...caught off guard by his constant "SEXIST SEXIST SEXIST" and "MUSCLES DON'T WORK THAT WAY" thing...dude, just call it Youngblood Syndrome and move on. Focus on the incest more, or the shitty portrayals of awesome super heroes.
Bees. My god.

Linkara also oddly enough has a really good voice for reading Spider-Man. Also, the muscles bit is kinda dumb. You're talking about comic books where a guy can do a two handed lift of a battleship without it falling apart. Then use it as a club without it falling apart. Then toss it aside with only minimal damage. So muscles look weird? Hips swayed? How...Odd... He has some of the best catchphrases, though. I also still love the "I AM A MAN! *punch*" bit. And alright, fine, PAW can come along too.

Diamanda reviewed Left Behind. Must. Watch. "Of Course, Don't You Know Anything About Science?" Came from the same comic as "I AM A MAN!" He's definitely used it. Dr. Insano is awesome, too.Pretty much the reason I kept watching Spoony vids. A LEft Behind Review? Have to watch that later.

GEEEEEEH. Xaria's Diamanda, right? If so, lady, you AWESOME. Where can I sign up as a minion/torture-ee? Amaranth: I realize that now, but I was...um...incapacitated in one form or another when I wrote that. <.<; It doesn't help that every time I hear it, I keep superimposing Dr. Insano's voice over it, even though it doesn't sound THAT much like him.

I'm gonna get all finger-tied around her now, since it's practically like posting on the same forum as Noah or a funnier Lindsay or Doug.
...and I have to agree with whoever said her character needs a crossover with That Guy With The Glasses. It's amusing to wonder whether they'd kill each other or love each other or both.

Indeed, Xaria IS Diamanda. =) Oh, great, now I have to be scared to say that Diamanda doesn't really appeal to me /sarcasm. Sorry, Xaria, you're just a tad out there for my tastes, though I do like your Doctor Who reviews. That said, I rather enjoy Linkara (and I give him credit for making me not scared to jump into comics), Spoony (though I don't like his vlogs because he is such a dick about his opinions even out of character), Paw, Oancitizen (though some of the stuff he reviews is outright disturbing), Vangelus (who has caused me to really want some SH Figuarts Kamen Riders), Bennett the Sage and I used to really like Angry Joe, but my opinion of him has dwindled thanks to his occasional ego trips

The only three I watch with any regularity anymore is Nostalgia Critic, Spoony, and Cinema Snob mainly because of my own enjoyment of criticizing movies.
I used to be an avid watcher of Nostalgia Chick and Linkara as well, but I have since become less interested in both. Comics were never my forte to begin with, but I did get a kick out of Linkara's reviews of extremely bad ones for a time. And as for Nostalgia Chick- I enjoyed her videos when she first started, but ever since she was confirmed as part of the "core cast" it just seems like the effort and thought behind her videos have dried up a bit. For example, her review of "Dune" was just awful and lazy, in my opinion (and that's coming from a guy who hated Lynch's take on "Dune" with a passion).

He IS the man/men that brought you Insane Brain, Linksano, and the gay JW Insano, among the dozens of other Insano clones whose names I can never remember...
Incapacitated: that's DPD code for "half-drunk and/or staying up 'til 4 in the morning after 4 hours of sleep".
Maybe I'm not critical enough in my entertainment choices...I mean, I got pissed off when Doug made that unfortunate HP = Secret of Nimh 2 comment, but then I thought about it and realized he was partially right.
Am I too complacent?!
