This can range from something like X-Men member Nightcrawler to the more complex topic of Hillary Clinton’s media presence. Loose Canons is a particularly fun series, analysing various pop culture trends. Ellis’ content noticeably improved once she no longer felt the need to follow the Channel Awesome format.Įllis’ independent YouTube content spans across a number of genres. While I don’t wish to dismiss her considerable comedy chops, it felt like her heart wasn’t really in it back when she did Critic-style commentary. The limiting nature of the programme is noticeable in Ellis’ original catchphrase “I remember it because the dudes don’t.” The implication that Ellis was reviewing content not deigned important enough by the Critic persisted throughout the series. As the name suggests, Ellis’ persona introduced herself to be a female counterpart to the Nostalgia Chick. The Nostalgia Chick, while producing really fun videos, was an inherently narrow premise. Conversely, Ellis’ videos opted for broader, essay-type criticism. The humour always came from scene-by-scene gags. Nostalgia Critic videos (at least the old ones) were strongly commentary-based. Funnily enough, I remembering really disliking Ellis’ videos on Channel Awesome, feeling that she wasn’t following the ‘format.’ In hindsight, I realised that this was largely because this was never really her agenda. I especially enjoyed the Nostalgia Critic, and I eventually started watching his female counterpart, Lindsay Ellis, aka The Nostalgia Chick. As a teenager, I couldn’t get enough of Channel Awesome’s content.
