@SlamBeegad Same. On the other hand, it’s worth checking to make sure you didn’t stumble into Stupidtown before accepting pretty much anything Drinker says as true. It’s way more likely than him stumbling into anything insightful.
I love that the title to most videos about Drinker can just be "The Critical Drinker is Wrong" and it would be accurate no matter what he's talking about.
David Ellison is notoriously hands-off, law-abiding, and trustworthy with his media companies. /s His dad is Larry Ellison btw. Look that guy up if you want an example of a real world super villain.
I think it's really funny that these reactionaries hate super safe corporate decisionmaking, but then cheer when corporations consolidate power and influence.
Reactionaries LOVE big flashy actions. It gives them the impression that something is being done when that something could actually be a giant fart that barely pushes the needle.
Well considering the entire purpose of it was because Trumpo the clown's buddies wanted to own CNN so they can turn it into propaganda just like CBS....Literally nobody cares about the "movie" part of it except the people who constantly cry about companies making money or owning things they can't have for free.
what? Netflix would be doom of WB, not because of woke, but because of their locking content to Netflix and nothing else. No cinema, no blu ray, nothing. Hate it.
@Bos@BossBast1 when Netflix had marvel they did very well with the series. Daredevil was extremely popular on Netflix. And it brought in tons of subs. I think wb going to Netflix would have been great.
Guys woke Hollywood has finally died this time guys trust me it's dying this time fr fr just trust me on this the woking dead is definitely 100% dying rn as we speak all those wOkE films that just made billions in the box office are totally failures and a sign that wOkE Hollywood is finally dying guys
It's up there with every other doomsday prediction. And in much the same way the people making these predictions are always adamant that "this time it's different" and that "it'll definitely happen this time".
Drinker and others want "WOKE" to be whatever you want it to be as long as you hate it. An eternal imaginary label of distain made to direct attention away from real problems in the industry.
Also, if we’re being strict, Hollywood is inherently not woke. It is literally a way that the hegemony imparts its values with some variety to make us think otherwise. Woke Hollywood assumes it was ever woke.
Considering that Warner Brothers and Paramount aren’t the money makers they used to be, I can guarantee this will be a complete disaster in every way imaginable
@zenbear9952 As long as it reaches the goal of keeping Trump in power, they won't care, they will get richer with other assets. And they probably can make the money they lost, a tax write off with Trump administration.
No joke I saw someone on twitter who reacted to the merger that said he'd much prefer the fact that gandalf might not be genderswapped in a new LOTR project over the fact possibly thousands of people will be out of a job 😭
@mattm8870 Fuck even if it wasn't a joke and totally real the message is just insane. How the hell is thousands of jobs lost better than a fucking gender swapped Gandalf (like who the fuck even cares?)
@ksanbahlyngwa1998well they are right it was a bad movie that Trashes Luke's legacy and Gives Rey a strange amount of power and also stops Finn from making a heroic sacrifice. Also Admiral Holdo is extremely annoying and her Holdo maneuver makes no logical sense I disagree with them on pretty much everything else. However anyone who criticizes sequels 8 and 9 are valid in my opinion without being a grifter if people criticize the Prequels their not grifters but the Sequels are off limits it's bullshit
@Thefallenminecraftworld27075ok yes true you are in fact allowed to dislike movies but you see that is not the Thing being discussed here? We're talking about peanut butter pilling conservative anti wole bullshit in film criticism
He literally puts his own narrative in everything he whines about, while misunderstanding all media (or just not even watching it) in order to relate it to his narrative.
We've got ourselves a confidently incorrect drinker on our hands; what did you *honestly* expect from someone who fashions himself as a "critical thinker"?
For real. Alcohol is well known to impare your brain and kill your liver. So "Impaired drinker on life support" is a better title. Sadly, a bit lengthy for his target audience.
@IsaacCoonen-bg7xmthis guy will say the most inconsistent and fake information as long as he gets paid. There is no low that the drinker and his injustice league will stoop down to for the name of views.
@aikaterinikera4095 I suppose I can't disagree with that. He has been know for saying stupid crap in the past because he probably is drunk off his ass lol.
Wait what? Is there a clip of him saying that the bottle in his profile pic has no lid? Because if there is I must have it for my next video. He could just play it off as a joke and say I was so drunk I was trying to suck the liquid through the lid
even from his limited dumb shit perspective critical drinker isnt going to be right. this isnt going to end "woke" because "woke" is a label he haphazardly projects onto trends in media he hates already as a post hoc justification. hes still gonna see Woke all over movies and have to pretend like he didnt shoot himself in the foot
@sciencefantasticor "DEI", or "the message/agenda". These are nothing more than buzzwords used by the Reich because they don't actually have compelling arguments against the things that cause them to rage out. "This movie had two seconds of a same-sex kiss, it's the Alphabet Agenda;" "The hero wasn't white or Xtian, it's a DEI hire!" These clowns can't actually define the words they use, but continue to use them because Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro do, and they're too dumb to realize that these grifters are just as dumb as they are.
It doesn’t help that Drinker’s definition of “woke” and the types of movies he categorises as it varies depending on audience perception. I mean, he called Superman and Fantastic Four woke because… grifters decided they were about immigration and feminism apparently?? Yet, he glazed Blue Eye Samurai when that featured a powerful female protagonist, a disabled character, and a whole subplot about the treatment of women in Japan - all stuff he would gleefully lambast if the show hadn’t already been universally acclaimed.
@sciencefantastic it technically means your aware of systematic/social racism issues as it originates from the African American community and was later co-opted by the rest of the left to include any systematic/societal issues against minorities and women in general from what I know of at least
@elishafollet5347 I’m aware of where the term woke came from but at this point, it means the same as politically correct and that it’s just used as a Khatul term to describe something that these right wingers hate. It’s a dog whistle It used to mean something, but it doesn’t anymore
Why should I take the whole Paramount-Warner Bros. acquisition discussion and any other discussion seriously coming from someone who wrote a series of terrible novels that read like cheap Tom Clancy knockoffs, then adapted one into his own short film that turned into a complete embarrassment, only to throw the actress under the bus by constantly blaming her for the failure instead of taking responsibility for his own terrible writing? Sounds very rich coming from someone who clearly can’t even handle his own creative failures 🤷
14:06 drinker hasn't learned from his literal Supergirl trailer review that he shouldn't show a literal Wikipedia page of him clicking on links to literally show that he has not done the minimum research on what he is saying or trying to make.
Unrelated to the Whiny Alcoholic but it just feels so dystopian to watch film companies exchange ungodly amounts of money for privileges and pieces of paper to absorb other companies into their conglomerate to continue milking people dry with churned out slop content while the average person struggles to make enough money to pay rent and feed themselves. This is what visual entertainment has become. An avenue of profit for suits instead of an art form.
How about do an amazing thing. Do not give them your money, be more discerning what you spend it on? I know, it is hard to not pay for the slop, but at least try....
@nancyjay790Yeah, I got the point of the comment. But my point is that we reflect what we see. You want happier vids? We gotta fix the dystopian hellscape first.
If it helps the American court system sided against a.i generated images and ruled that it cannot be copyrighted Tho at the same time I heard they also apparently fucked up the patent system and made it easier to patent troll and allow corpos to sit on patents that they don't even use (Sorry I had to ruin the happy comment like this but this is a major problem I want to let others know about)
Which is really unfortunate. I think he has some interesting things to say, and he's right about certain topics, but his association with Drinker and Little Platoon and even Shad really drag his reputation down
Even worse that he literally had the guts to even blame the actress publicly on his lesson learned video for the terrible dialogue WHEN HE WROTE THE WHOLE SCRIPT HIMSELF!
@JakeyBoo72 You Know, I wonder when it became popular to start ragging on this dude. A while ago, critiquing him would quickly get you swarmed by his fans with little backup. These days, you'll have lots of supporters. Again, I wonder when the major backlash really took off.
Grifters think that theyre going against the government because they talk about wokeness and "the message" when really theyre playing into the system and the left is actually going more against society and the government due to many of us being queer or being allies to queer people. Grifters think theyre cool when they never were
@MizukiNoDoragon Bingo. Right wing grifters think the authoritarian system will only hurt those they dislike: liberals, people of color, women, etc. They can't accept that they will one day be under the boot.
21:54 Drinker’s bias against James Gunn grinds my gears. He’s clearly outrage farming because his negative videos get more views than his positive ones, and there's already a community of Snyder Cultists that will listen to any hate Drinker throws at Gunn.
Not as much as Jeremy Griggs of Geeks + Gamers and D Day Cobra 2, ClownfishTV, Nerdrotic and Ryan Kinel. Critical Drinker is just the lesser out of all these evils. The Drinker at sometimes can be tolerable, I'll give him that. But he really lets his own views get in the way of watching movies and TV. Bro made a movie too, but that wasn't a hit I'll say.
Do you remember the Whywolves from Adventure Time? The werewolves who can't hunt the villagers because some idiot character is so dumb that he emits a obnoxious gas that's bad for them... Every time I hear Chudversity or Critical Drinker talking, it's like a burning stinky fart. I understand the Whywolves.
Another thing to consider is Colbert’s cancellation. I don’t remember exactly when he’s leaving, but I have seen a lot of people this last year say they’re boycotting when he leaves. That’s definitely not going to help paramount
Drinker is a certified idiot. This merger won't result in less "Woke" movies and more Conservative leaning movies. It will just result in less movies overall. And Drinker and his fans will be surprised to find out when the time comes. But when both Paramount and WB are making less movies and other studios are making just as many "Woke" movies as they already are. The overall percentage of woke movies remains the same. Now there will just be less movies.
The Critical Drinker and lyin' go together like whiskey and coke... ...Ok not really, but i had to make an alcohol metaphor in there. Fits for the Drinker.
27:50 Jordan’s anti-establishment, anti-corporation … except when it come to writers and actors strikes. Then it’s “Get back to work. Do what your corporate overlord tells you!”
Weird how excited these guys are about Paramount buying WB when their main, and pretty much only, grift right now is making fun of Star Trek Starfleet Academy (made by paramount)
25:18 Why the fuck can't grifters move on from the "crying liberal" clip 10 years later. Is there really not a more modern example that exists or at least a similar clip from around the same time
Oh he's 100% a grifter, as are most of these anti-woke media reviewers. I watched a movie review from years ago and thought it was pretty good, but when I went to the channel it was ALL criticism of woke media. Very few of these guys started as right wing and pro-establishment as they are now (at least from what I've seen).
I got 3 minutes into Drinker's "review" of Doctor Strange 2 and had to stop. In that time he had asked 2 questions that were answered by the movie, made 2 racial slurs against the girl and then complained when they sat in a coffee shop to have a conversation.
I never cared for him. I think the first time I came across him he was ranting about "woke Star Wars" and I realized he was an idiot. And yes, his voice makes me want to punch him.
@TamelaRedfin Hey you got out that's what matters I'm not excited for a lot of things from Hollywood, but for the opposite reasons these guys complain about. I don't like the American exceptionalism in stuff like Top Gun and Mission Impossible (even if they are good movies). That, and the fact I've tasted the forbidden fruit that is anime, considering it's less franchise-centric and often willing to try crazier ideas (if someone in Hollywood pitched something like Umamusume or Dandadan, they would have been laughed out of the meeting)
right, its like saying "one company controlling everything and making the same movie with the same MeSsAge forever is good" ok so ,this maybe hard for CD watchers but IMAGINE if woke Disney was the only source of movies, yikes, right? so then enjoy your A.I. christian movies forever, enjoy "God is Not Dead 23: Even More Alive"
Drinker's supposition relies on ignoring that Ellison hasn't touched anything creative that Paramount has been putting out that has any of Drinker's usually hated groups portrayed in a positive light. And, y'know, the fact that Ellison's sister is an outright lesbian who HAS produced shit that Drinker hates and is likely going to be involved with her brother's work going forward. Dude is about as sharp as a bowling ball.
Why does it sound like it takes Critical Drunk physical effort to speak at a normal volume? It sounds like he is physically lifting each word out of his throat. Like he is speaking and pushing while sitting on toilet at the same time.
Everyone needs to bet on the 1% chance that the conditions be violated so the hole merger be null n void. We really need the universe to just give us a bone for once
CD's snide comment at James Gunn really does just say it all, I think. Like, Drinker, are actually trying to imply that JAMES GUNN, a creator working with an infamous war criminal and critiqued repeatedly for his misogynistic writing, is woke??? Why, because he said nazis are bad??
5:39 Oh, you mean the same Taylor Sheridan who's LEAVING Paramount to go to Universal because he was sick of David Ellison sticking his fingers into the creative process? Edit: Nevermind, you brought it up. 😂
I don’t think it’s solely about poor research on Drinker’s part. The ignorance feels like classic “right-wing purity” cope, where they think that surely their holy creator of Maverick can’t be woke, since those movies were so strong and perfect and testosterone-fueled! It’s utter fragility. They can’t accept the idea that Maverick isn’t untouched by right-wing purity, so they bury their heads in the sand when confronted by the reality that something so cool could have been made by someone aligned with the “woke mind virus.”
its also tied to the fact they have no idea what certain roles in the industry do and so think a 'producer' has more say and control than they actually do on a media project
I used to watch these guys at 17-18. Dark times. I've grown so much since then. I just got recommended Thor Skywalker and it's so so sad to see month old videos getting 5k-10k 😭 Then I got recommended this, it was nice to see. Great stuff ♥️
Yes he has it so much that's why in 2012 in his first novel he was writing progressively because he's on the left. I've got a playlist on him if you need proof of "the message" in his own work
@SlamBeegad Honestly, I don't. People can change their views... and I don't even care about his views then or now, but about his recent behavior. I'm joking about him (recently) looking at everything through the "culture war" lens. He's more down that hole than the movies he complains about and I find it funny to think about, but utterly tiring to hear the less and less meaningful term that is "the message". Also, it doesn't quite work with him using neutral phrases like just "politics" for politics he doesn't like (implying it would be equally bad for either side).
I wouldn’t be surprised if that collage of “reactions” Drinker showed in his vid had nothing to do with the merger and was random videos taken out of context.
Critical Drinker needs therapy, but if he gets it and therefore finds healthier outlets for his negative emotions, he would lose his entire career built on nothing but having meltdowns into a mic. I genuinely see this as a conundrum for him, and a lot of the online male outrage farmers
27:14 I love that he can't see the objective problems with what he just said. He's like "look at these people I hate, crying about this thing that I should realize is actually terrible for everyone and not just the people I hate..." He is truly one of the dumbest people on the Internet.
I've never heard a single word CD has said, because I can't get past how mindbogglingly fucking stupid he sounds every time he opens his mouth. It should, genuinely, be a crime to talk the way he does.
The sad thing is, I think Critical Drinker might've been ever so vaguely influenced by Charlie Brooker's "wipe" series. Something about the way he ends his episode with "go away now" reminds me of how Brooker used to end each episode of his wipe shows...but here's the kicker, Brooker knows what he's talking about and actually made some genuinely smart criticisms of both the news and TV shows whilst also being genuinely funny, sometimes even unintentionally (basically just watch Screenwipe series 4, episode 1, and remember that the Blue Peter presenter whose apology he enjoyed a bit too much ended up marrying him). Oh, and if the name rings a bell it's because he's also the creator and writer of Black Mirror. But yeah, if my theory is right then Drinker really doesn't understand Brooker at all. Yes, Brooker does, or at least _did_ point out a lot of the problems with modern day TV and News but the major difference is that those problems existed and aren't based on baseless theories.
The problem with watching videos dragging The Critical Drinker is that I have to hear his fucking voice. I just can't stand to hear him attempt to swallow his own tongue anymore.
You should see Critical Gamer about the new Tomb Raider, he complained about the Lara Croft from the last trilogy being too bruised and dirty, totally contradicting his take on Rey; but maybe it was another person, though the voice is awfully familiar and he links the channel with Critical Drinker
@RepriseYTremember, drinker is someone who went on a podcast to say how modern Japan was making great "non woke" media and when asked for an example, he named Chinese (crouching tiger) and Korean (oldboy) movies from two decades ago. They're all posers
@RepriseYTWait. What are you talking about? Anime in and of itself is 99% apolitical. What’s wrong with that? Especially a series like One Piece. And when it is political, it’s usually about a universal problem, like poverty. It’s part of what makes anime great.
Paramount sucks. WB sucks. It's basically a perfect match made in Hell. WB will leech off of it while Paramount slowly dies in a leveraged buyout while all the garbage executives get all of the money.
@frank8917 Of course that exists. Though it does make me imagine what a horror take on Pooh's Adventures would be like. A terrible lost episode creepypasta?
At this point, I don't think the Chronical Drunkard even knows what "the message" is anymore given how much he flips and flops on things. He mocks the movies of the person he praises over the merger.
Drinker must have some short sighted ideals, cosidering tht Paramount is the Corporation behind the recent set of Star Trek TV shows, some of which he hates. Man is nothing but inconsistent with his values.
That's because grifters don't have values to begin with they just switch up they're opinions bases on what they're audiences want to hear rather than give they're honest opinions as well as be honest about the films/shows that they "critique"
I still don't understand how a failing company buying a flailing company is that big of a deal, from any perspective. This is like if Kodak bought Blackberry in 2011.
Anytime Ant played a clip of the Drinker’s videos, I would ask myself: “How do people bear listening to this man?” His tone is so damn obnoxious, the way he punctuates words makes me sick.
If Drinker told me the sky was blue, I’d go outside to double-check
I mean sometimes the sky is pretty cloudy, he doesn’t strike me as a meteorologist :P
I mean, is the sky blue? For us, yeah, but for other living beings? Not so much
I'd rather hear the truth from somebody I dislike than a life from somebody I like. Thats just my opinion of course just food for thought
@SlamBeegad Same. On the other hand, it’s worth checking to make sure you didn’t stumble into Stupidtown before accepting pretty much anything Drinker says as true.
It’s way more likely than him stumbling into anything insightful.
@SlamBeegad Trouble is I dislike him exactly because he always lies
I love that the title to most videos about Drinker can just be "The Critical Drinker is Wrong" and it would be accurate no matter what he's talking about.
The floor is made of floor ahh statement.
agreed
I mean, dont get me wrong. He can be right at times...when the material hes talking about is just plain bad and easy to target.
@normanskyvale_78146 Even the lowest hanging fruit that is visibly bad, he's still wrong about why they're bad lmao so not even
An art-hating nihilist doesn't see how Paramount buying Warner Bros is disastrous for art? Color me surprised!
Im starting to think you people have hearing comprehension issues...
@eleminatus You are subscribed to Dave Rubin 🤣🤣🤣
@eleminatus ok, we'll try in text then, what is Critical Drinker saying that we've just been mishearing?
As a nihilist don't compare him to me
@eleminatus I'm starting to think you people just openly lie to everyone including yourselves
David Ellison is notoriously hands-off, law-abiding, and trustworthy with his media companies. /s
His dad is Larry Ellison btw. Look that guy up if you want an example of a real world super villain.
"Do not make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison."

@thedude4840it's all just key jiggling to distract them from the consequences of capitalism
@ioletsgo7539 Reactionaries also hate a stable economy. That's why they go out of their way to disrupt it.
Well considering the entire purpose of it was because Trumpo the clown's buddies wanted to own CNN so they can turn it into propaganda just like CBS....Literally nobody cares about the "movie" part of it except the people who constantly cry about companies making money or owning things they can't have for free.
They don't care because they're grifters
It's so fucking depressing that the Netflix deal was the harm reduction option
what? Netflix would be doom of WB, not because of woke, but because of their locking content to Netflix and nothing else. No cinema, no blu ray, nothing. Hate it.
@BossBast1 get an external hard drive and pirate it. The pirates are still able to rip if from their website.
@BossBast1both options suck but wb sucks less
Relatively
@Bos@BossBast1 when Netflix had marvel they did very well with the series. Daredevil was extremely popular on Netflix. And it brought in tons of subs. I think wb going to Netflix would have been great.
I've lost track of how many times "woke" Hollywood has "died"
Guys woke Hollywood has finally died this time guys trust me it's dying this time fr fr just trust me on this the woking dead is definitely 100% dying rn as we speak all those wOkE films that just made billions in the box office are totally failures and a sign that wOkE Hollywood is finally dying guys
It's up there with every other doomsday prediction. And in much the same way the people making these predictions are always adamant that "this time it's different" and that "it'll definitely happen this time".
Drinker and others want "WOKE" to be whatever you want it to be as long as you hate it.
An eternal imaginary label of distain made to direct attention away from real problems in the industry.
Same with the woke AAA gaming industry
Also, if we’re being strict, Hollywood is inherently not woke. It is literally a way that the hegemony imparts its values with some variety to make us think otherwise. Woke Hollywood assumes it was ever woke.
Considering that Warner Brothers and Paramount aren’t the money makers they used to be, I can guarantee this will be a complete disaster in every way imaginable
It kinda is now, since Paramounts owes a gigantic debt
They don't care if it's a complete disaster in the future, they just need to make it through the midterms (and 2028)
@jamesdo3086 And that's why WE will be funding independent media and PBS, instead of doomin and gloomin, RIGHT?
Paramount literally bought a company with money it didn't even have. Yes that is pretty disastrous I'd say
@zenbear9952 As long as it reaches the goal of keeping Trump in power, they won't care, they will get richer with other assets. And they probably can make the money they lost, a tax write off with Trump administration.
Critical Drinker lying? No that can’t be 🙃

No joke I saw someone on twitter who reacted to the merger that said he'd much prefer the fact that gandalf might not be genderswapped in a new LOTR project over the fact possibly thousands of people will be out of a job 😭
This is what happens when people are terminally stuck online
Nah just tired of all this crazy stuff in media
@shawklan27
So yet another idiot who fell for an internet joke or rage merchants who jumped on the joke.
@mattm8870 Fuck even if it wasn't a joke and totally real the message is just insane. How the hell is thousands of jobs lost better than a fucking gender swapped Gandalf (like who the fuck even cares?)
Ya know, The Last Jedi did do irreparable damage by creating such a space for grifters to basically say the exact same thing for any movie to come out
Exactly
Ghostbusters 2016 was the first.
@ksanbahlyngwa1998well they are right it was a bad movie that Trashes Luke's legacy and Gives Rey a strange amount of power and also stops Finn from making a heroic sacrifice. Also Admiral Holdo is extremely annoying and her Holdo maneuver makes no logical sense
I disagree with them on pretty much everything else. However anyone who criticizes sequels 8 and 9 are valid in my opinion without being a grifter if people criticize the Prequels their not grifters but the Sequels are off limits it's bullshit

@Thefallenminecraftworld27075 You are not good at this and should stop talking about media.
Drinker could literally say cars have wheels and still somehow be lying
And your favorite movie is...
"If he tells you Snow is white he is lying"
The way Jordan says "the message" have become complete self parody. I don't think he knows that.
I guarantee he doesnt he legitimately thinks he sounds cool
He literally puts his own narrative in everything he whines about, while misunderstanding all media (or just not even watching it) in order to relate it to his narrative.
Well he lives in a bubble so to him everyone around him loves that joke
THE AGENDAAAAAA
Here’s another self parody he did just put out is him fucking with horses

I think he is too stupid to say that.

@IsaacCoonen-bg7xmthis guy will say the most inconsistent and fake information as long as he gets paid. There is no low that the drinker and his injustice league will stoop down to for the name of views.
He'll just call the sky woke and complain about "the message"
@aikaterinikera4095 I suppose I can't disagree with that. He has been know for saying stupid crap in the past because he probably is drunk off his ass lol.
He lies about having the cap off in that profile pic of his… and everything else, so why not have him lie about corporate monopoly dread?
Wait what? Is there a clip of him saying that the bottle in his profile pic has no lid? Because if there is I must have it for my next video. He could just play it off as a joke and say I was so drunk I was trying to suck the liquid through the lid
even from his limited dumb shit perspective critical drinker isnt going to be right. this isnt going to end "woke" because "woke" is a label he haphazardly projects onto trends in media he hates already as a post hoc justification. hes still gonna see Woke all over movies and have to pretend like he didnt shoot himself in the foot
Woke is the same as politically correct. It means nothing.

Why should I take the whole Paramount-Warner Bros. acquisition discussion and any other discussion seriously coming from someone who wrote a series of terrible novels that read like cheap Tom Clancy knockoffs, then adapted one into his own short film that turned into a complete embarrassment, only to throw the actress under the bus by constantly blaming her for the failure instead of taking responsibility for his own terrible writing?

@geoffdewitt6845 The comment was about Ant's videos from the past week. He can't do much about the dystopian nightmare others have foisted upon us.
@nancyjay790Yeah, I got the point of the comment. But my point is that we reflect what we see. You want happier vids? We gotta fix the dystopian hellscape first.
If it helps the American court system sided against a.i generated images and ruled that it cannot be copyrighted
Tho at the same time I heard they also apparently fucked up the patent system and made it easier to patent troll and allow corpos to sit on patents that they don't even use
(Sorry I had to ruin the happy comment like this but this is a major problem I want to let others know about)
@geoffdewitt6845 Fine, but how much of us are doing anything about it. Basically 0%. There are enough, but it’s not a force.
These people forget that critical thinking should not just be applied to your enemies, but also to your own likings and biases.
4:02 this skit has to be the most accurate thing said on the critical drinkers entire channel.
I’m wondering how much of this is just contrarian ragebait by Critical Drinker.
100%
A distinction without a distinction. You cant act like an asshole and then say you were only acting.
Drinker’s whole channel is contrarian rage bait.
"The fork was found in the kitchen" ahh title
"Ramps can be used as ramps" ahh title
The floor may indeed be made out of floor
Fish found in ocean.
Why people write "ahh" Is a way to censor ass? Or is because of something else? Feel like an old man with the current an violent shifts on the lingo.
"Walls keep the ceiling up"
Still funny to me how mauler will pretend to be non political and then works with the most disgusting bigots on RUclips
Which is really unfortunate. I think he has some interesting things to say, and he's right about certain topics, but his association with Drinker and Little Platoon and even Shad really drag his reputation down
He probably shares the same opinions and thinks he can leech off of they're audiences much like how they already leech off of each other
@e@elishafollet5347 Yeah, Mauler probably privately shares their politics, but knows better to keep it on the down low.
Bigots like yourself?
We taking advice from the same person who diengeniously cries about how bad movies are while ironically made a movie no one watched
Even worse that he literally had the guts to even blame the actress publicly on his lesson learned video for the terrible dialogue WHEN HE WROTE THE WHOLE SCRIPT HIMSELF!
The Critical Drinker: I own the libs.. but at what cost..
Ironically, he owned himself with his very own movie and books.
@CourageousCourier1701 I forgot he made his own movie.
@JakeyBoo72 You Know, I wonder when it became popular to start ragging on this dude. A while ago, critiquing him would quickly get you swarmed by his fans with little backup. These days, you'll have lots of supporters. Again, I wonder when the major backlash really took off.
What even is CD's intonation? I find it so irritating I would probably immediately disagree with him if he said "books are often made of paper."
Drunk AI
Drunk with his teeth sticked together
Chudspeech
He plays drunk for camera (seeing that his pic shows him "drinking" with the cap on), but he is just terrible at it.
His voice is just so irritating
Grifters think that theyre going against the government because they talk about wokeness and "the message" when really theyre playing into the system and the left is actually going more against society and the government due to many of us being queer or being allies to queer people. Grifters think theyre cool when they never were
Because it was never about going against the system, it was always about erasing the people they dislike
Grifters are frauds by the very definition of the word.
@MizukiNoDoragon
Bingo. Right wing grifters think the authoritarian system will only hurt those they dislike: liberals, people of color, women, etc. They can't accept that they will one day be under the boot.
найс тряска
21:54 Drinker’s bias against James Gunn grinds my gears. He’s clearly outrage farming because his negative videos get more views than his positive ones, and there's already a community of Snyder Cultists that will listen to any hate Drinker throws at Gunn.
The best thing I ever did was ignore and block “everything wrong with x” vids so nice to have people talk about what they like
Not as much as Jeremy Griggs of Geeks + Gamers and D Day Cobra 2, ClownfishTV, Nerdrotic and Ryan Kinel. Critical Drinker is just the lesser out of all these evils. The Drinker at sometimes can be tolerable, I'll give him that. But he really lets his own views get in the way of watching movies and TV. Bro made a movie too, but that wasn't a hit I'll say.
Do you remember the Whywolves from Adventure Time? The werewolves who can't hunt the villagers because some idiot character is so dumb that he emits a obnoxious gas that's bad for them...
Every time I hear Chudversity or Critical Drinker talking, it's like a burning stinky fart. I understand the Whywolves.
Another thing to consider is Colbert’s cancellation. I don’t remember exactly when he’s leaving, but I have seen a lot of people this last year say they’re boycotting when he leaves. That’s definitely not going to help paramount
Drinker is a certified idiot.
This merger won't result in less "Woke" movies and more Conservative leaning movies.
It will just result in less movies overall.
And Drinker and his fans will be surprised to find out when the time comes.
But when both Paramount and WB are making less movies and other studios are making just as many "Woke" movies as they already are.
The overall percentage of woke movies remains the same.
Now there will just be less movies.
He even said as much he just doesn't care.
He lives in his own bubble.
Starting to think these guys might not actually like movies
@ThorneinSide He was spreading misinformation wasn't he.
@Redy2Snap They don't like anything they just hate because it makes sound "cool".
The Critical Drinker and lyin' go together like whiskey and coke...
...Ok not really, but i had to make an alcohol metaphor in there. Fits for the Drinker.
You almost ruined whisky and Coke for me. 🤣🤣
this is the oddest timeline i always figured Paramount would get absorbed not buy wb.
27:50 Jordan’s anti-establishment, anti-corporation … except when it come to writers and actors strikes. Then it’s “Get back to work. Do what your corporate overlord tells you!”
The drinker comes off like such a joyless husk of a person
The best way I can describe his voice is "practiced misery."
Weird how excited these guys are about Paramount buying WB when their main, and pretty much only, grift right now is making fun of Star Trek Starfleet Academy (made by paramount)
Grifters aren't very smart as Anthony demonstrated in his video about Critical Drinker.
The only reason I think he’s hopeful is that he saw the news of Max Landis being hired to write GI Joe and hopes he has a shot at that
You could start any sentence with "the critical drinker is wrong" and then put any take he's ever had after that and be correct.
The problem with fascists is that as long as the right person gets hurt, it doesn't matter, no matter how miserable the fascist life is overall.
0:55 a struggling company spent an unheard of amount of money on another struggling company. No way that can go wrong
The question is - why are those companies struggling in the first place?
@V9incent As far as I understand WB is struggling because of previous acquisitions.
@KenTWOu WB is DYING (not "struggling - dying) because of stupid business desisions.
@KenTWOu WB is DYING (not struggling - dying) because of stupid business desisions.
It cannot be understated how insufferable CD's voice is
It always cracks me up when these dumbasses think CNN is "woke" and not just the neoliberal fox
Because they think the "woke" is queer and black people.
Completely oblivious to how it is about class struggle and destroying corporate monopolies.
Critical Drinker lying 🤥 is like saying water is wet.
25:18 Why the fuck can't grifters move on from the "crying liberal" clip 10 years later. Is there really not a more modern example that exists or at least a similar clip from around the same time
Nope, that's all they have.
@astralVerdance they're all so creatively bankrupt that's why they hate anything progressive or daring
that person would have moved on, married, had kids, had grandkids, died happily, and these people are still stuck in purgatory.
No since he's a conservative after all. All they have is a handful of jokes.
@dutchdragongaming8676 they have 5 jokes, that are in actuality all the same joke
"Grass is green" ahh news.
Well maintained grass is green
Oh he's 100% a grifter, as are most of these anti-woke media reviewers. I watched a movie review from years ago and thought it was pretty good, but when I went to the channel it was ALL criticism of woke media. Very few of these guys started as right wing and pro-establishment as they are now (at least from what I've seen).
They pivot because it makes them easy money, right-wingers are extremely easy to pander to.
I got 3 minutes into Drinker's "review" of Doctor Strange 2 and had to stop. In that time he had asked 2 questions that were answered by the movie, made 2 racial slurs against the girl and then complained when they sat in a coffee shop to have a conversation.
New, evergreen series idea: The Critical Drinker is wrong about...then just breakdown every braindead take he has.
Am I think the only one who never liked Drinker (even before I learned he was a grifter), because how he talks is just SOOOO grating
Even when I was in those misery circles I HATED this voice. Luckily, I moved on and found better reviewers to follow. Like Ant. :D
I never cared for him. I think the first time I came across him he was ranting about "woke Star Wars" and I realized he was an idiot. And yes, his voice makes me want to punch him.
@TamelaRedfin Hey you got out that's what matters
I'm not excited for a lot of things from Hollywood, but for the opposite reasons these guys complain about. I don't like the American exceptionalism in stuff like Top Gun and Mission Impossible (even if they are good movies). That, and the fact I've tasted the forbidden fruit that is anime, considering it's less franchise-centric and often willing to try crazier ideas (if someone in Hollywood pitched something like Umamusume or Dandadan, they would have been laughed out of the meeting)
He's a fake drunk too. Not a real Man of the Bottle.
@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation Not a real Drunk Scotsman either. He cannot compare to Tarvish Degroot no matter how hard he 'tries'.
So, "woke" people oppose the deal, therefore the Cynical Grifter thinks it must be good?
right, its like saying "one company controlling everything and making the same movie with the same MeSsAge forever is good" ok so ,this maybe hard for CD watchers but IMAGINE if woke Disney was the only source of movies, yikes, right? so then enjoy your A.I. christian movies forever, enjoy "God is Not Dead 23: Even More Alive"
Conservative "logic" in a nutshell
People could announce that a big movie with gay people in it will donate its profits to cancer research and these people would want to cancel it.
Pretty much.
Drinker's supposition relies on ignoring that Ellison hasn't touched anything creative that Paramount has been putting out that has any of Drinker's usually hated groups portrayed in a positive light. And, y'know, the fact that Ellison's sister is an outright lesbian who HAS produced shit that Drinker hates and is likely going to be involved with her brother's work going forward.
Dude is about as sharp as a bowling ball.
And as smart as an ant
Knowing how his own movie turned out it's pretty hilarious to hear drinker complain about being creatively bankrupt.
17:08 Does this dude not know that people have unisex names????
He knows nothing
@BranchyBug He knows less than Jon Snow
For real. Leslie, Alex, Carson, Max, Sam, Blake... but I am, not to toot my own horn, a competent writer and not a grifter.
@Gchildwarrior Ouch. 😂
@TamelaRedfin I had no idea Leslie was gender neutral. I have never met a single man named Leslie personally
Why does it sound like it takes Critical Drunk physical effort to speak at a normal volume? It sounds like he is physically lifting each word out of his throat. Like he is speaking and pushing while sitting on toilet at the same time.
Thanks for your sacrifice that I don't have to watch the Claude Frollo of commentators anymore. 😊
Is it nominative determinism, or did he know he has impaired judgement and was explicitly not a critical thinker when he made his channel name?
TCD strikes me as the sort to be incapable of self-reflection.
Everyone needs to bet on the 1% chance that the conditions be violated so the hole merger be null n void. We really need the universe to just give us a bone for once
Sentences that begin with "The Critical Drinker is lying..." need not continue. We know.
_Holy._ 11 minutes ago is crazy, I'm never this early. Can't wait~
Here's for the algae rhythm
CD's snide comment at James Gunn really does just say it all, I think. Like, Drinker, are actually trying to imply that JAMES GUNN, a creator working with an infamous war criminal and critiqued repeatedly for his misogynistic writing, is woke??? Why, because he said nazis are bad??
5:39 Oh, you mean the same Taylor Sheridan who's LEAVING Paramount to go to Universal because he was sick of David Ellison sticking his fingers into the creative process?
Edit: Nevermind, you brought it up. 😂
This will be the funniest video of all time if the merger ultimately doesn’t go through.
I don’t think it’s solely about poor research on Drinker’s part. The ignorance feels like classic “right-wing purity” cope, where they think that surely their holy creator of Maverick can’t be woke, since those movies were so strong and perfect and testosterone-fueled! It’s utter fragility. They can’t accept the idea that Maverick isn’t untouched by right-wing purity, so they bury their heads in the sand when confronted by the reality that something so cool could have been made by someone aligned with the “woke mind virus.”
its also tied to the fact they have no idea what certain roles in the industry do and so think a 'producer' has more say and control than they actually do on a media project
Everytime I see drinker's new statements, it just disgusts me further knowing that I once believed everything he said
WHY should I trust ANYTHING that Drinker says after he does blackface on the Fellowship of the Ring Poster?
Sorry, what?
He took the Fellowship of the Ring movie poster and blackface all of the actors on the poster. Yes it did happen.
@stephennootens916Wow, as we need any more reasons to dislike this vermin.
Whattttttt 😮😮😮
@stephennootens916 ok that is very werid but not the reason i dont trust his opinion. You dont trust his opnion because the guy is braindead
"The Critical Drinker is Wrong" yes.
After that behemoth of a book review, it's nice to see Ant go back to lighter short-form content
I used to watch these guys at 17-18. Dark times. I've grown so much since then. I just got recommended Thor Skywalker and it's so so sad to see month old videos getting 5k-10k 😭
Then I got recommended this, it was nice to see.
Great stuff ♥️
“Somehow the Critical Drinker returned………….with another lie….”
Can Critical Drinker's liver please give out already?
The Critical Drinker has tHe mEsSAgE derangement syndrome.
Sh!t, that's GOLD.
Yes he has it so much that's why in 2012 in his first novel he was writing progressively because he's on the left. I've got a playlist on him if you need proof of "the message" in his own work
@SlamBeegad Honestly, I don't. People can change their views... and I don't even care about his views then or now, but about his recent behavior. I'm joking about him (recently) looking at everything through the "culture war" lens. He's more down that hole than the movies he complains about and I find it funny to think about, but utterly tiring to hear the less and less meaningful term that is "the message". Also, it doesn't quite work with him using neutral phrases like just "politics" for politics he doesn't like (implying it would be equally bad for either side).
@CourageousCourier1701
Everyone should use that one.
I’m gonna use that
I wouldn’t be surprised if that collage of “reactions” Drinker showed in his vid had nothing to do with the merger and was random videos taken out of context.
Critical Drinker needs therapy, but if he gets it and therefore finds healthier outlets for his negative emotions, he would lose his entire career built on nothing but having meltdowns into a mic. I genuinely see this as a conundrum for him, and a lot of the online male outrage farmers
Grifter is so narcissistic that he thinks whatever he thinks is how something objectively is
27:14 I love that he can't see the objective problems with what he just said. He's like "look at these people I hate, crying about this thing that I should realize is actually terrible for everyone and not just the people I hate..."
He is truly one of the dumbest people on the Internet.
Not gonna lie, I thought my phone skipped to a weekly planet video.
I've never heard a single word CD has said, because I can't get past how mindbogglingly fucking stupid he sounds every time he opens his mouth. It should, genuinely, be a crime to talk the way he does.
The sad thing is, I think Critical Drinker might've been ever so vaguely influenced by Charlie Brooker's "wipe" series. Something about the way he ends his episode with "go away now" reminds me of how Brooker used to end each episode of his wipe shows...but here's the kicker, Brooker knows what he's talking about and actually made some genuinely smart criticisms of both the news and TV shows whilst also being genuinely funny, sometimes even unintentionally (basically just watch Screenwipe series 4, episode 1, and remember that the Blue Peter presenter whose apology he enjoyed a bit too much ended up marrying him). Oh, and if the name rings a bell it's because he's also the creator and writer of Black Mirror.
But yeah, if my theory is right then Drinker really doesn't understand Brooker at all. Yes, Brooker does, or at least _did_ point out a lot of the problems with modern day TV and News but the major difference is that those problems existed and aren't based on baseless theories.
The problem with watching videos dragging The Critical Drinker is that I have to hear his fucking voice. I just can't stand to hear him attempt to swallow his own tongue anymore.
Is it just safe to say at this point, Drinker completely lacks integrity? He'll just say what his audience wants if it'll result in the cha-chings.
Drinker getting dunked on by another ANT!
Sign me UP😅😅
Why does he talk like he's constantly gritting his teeth? Is he the Critical Drinker or the Critical Jaw Clencher?
Hes trying to put on a drunk tuff guy persona that he thinks is cool and badass but in reality it's super obnoxious and irritating to listen to
You should see Critical Gamer about the new Tomb Raider, he complained about the Lara Croft from the last trilogy being too bruised and dirty, totally contradicting his take on Rey; but maybe it was another person, though the voice is awfully familiar and he links the channel with Critical Drinker
Me when giga monopoly >:(
Me when other giga monopoly :D
This is the man who thinks One Piece is apolitical, I'm not shocked he sees no issues with something like this.
What's up with conservatives only being able to name top 3 anime? Is it because they don't actually watch it?
@RepriseYTremember, drinker is someone who went on a podcast to say how modern Japan was making great "non woke" media and when asked for an example, he named Chinese (crouching tiger) and Korean (oldboy) movies from two decades ago. They're all posers
@joshuayung5158 this is exactly what they do with everything, such pathetic people
@wumbojet yep, those anti woke idiots are the fake fans that need to be gatekept out of our hobbies/fandoms like the hateful parasites they are
@RepriseYTWait. What are you talking about?
Anime in and of itself is 99% apolitical.
What’s wrong with that?
Especially a series like One Piece. And when it is political, it’s usually about a universal problem, like poverty.
It’s part of what makes anime great.
Paramount sucks. WB sucks. It's basically a perfect match made in Hell. WB will leech off of it while Paramount slowly dies in a leveraged buyout while all the garbage executives get all of the money.
But that means the Justice League can meet Team Avatar!
@jeffreygao3956 That could be some true Pooh's Adventures level stupidity.
@ExtremeWreck speakimg of Pooh stuoidity, its off topic, but new Pinnochio horror movie
@frank8917 Of course that exists.
Though it does make me imagine what a horror take on Pooh's Adventures would be like. A terrible lost episode creepypasta?
@ExtremeWreck Looks like someone just can’t stand crossovers.
At this point, I don't think the Chronical Drunkard even knows what "the message" is anymore given how much he flips and flops on things. He mocks the movies of the person he praises over the merger.
Used to be a huge critical drinker fan nowadays I question how that ever came to be
The critical drinker the kind of "cutting off my nose to own the libs"
I wonder how many conservatives would unironically cut they're own noises off if it meant somehow "owning the libs"
@elishafollet5347
In 2026, I think the number is very high.
Drinker must have some short sighted ideals, cosidering tht Paramount is the Corporation behind the recent set of Star Trek TV shows, some of which he hates.
Man is nothing but inconsistent with his values.
That's because grifters don't have values to begin with they just switch up they're opinions bases on what they're audiences want to hear rather than give they're honest opinions as well as be honest about the films/shows that they "critique"
Babe, wake up! Anthony Gramuglia is going to tear a braindead grifter a new one!
I still don't understand how a failing company buying a flailing company is that big of a deal, from any perspective. This is like if Kodak bought Blackberry in 2011.
Kodak... BlackBerry WHAT?!
Great comparison.
He's usually wrong about everything.
"Critical Drink" and "Lying " are synonyms
This topic is to complicated for that guy to understand
5:15 *shows a bunch of movies that he mad bad reviews about, because they where "woke"*
Anytime Ant played a clip of the Drinker’s videos, I would ask myself: “How do people bear listening to this man?” His tone is so damn obnoxious, the way he punctuates words makes me sick.
So Drinker didn't actually read articles, only headlines? What a shocker!!
