TGWTG Eric Rodriguez / E-Rod2010 / The Blockbuster Buster - Edgy Nostalgia Critic Fanboy/Knockoff

[Feline Darkmage]

This guy was brought up in the general ChannelAwesome thread in Multimedia. The story behind him is basically this: he was a massive fanboy of the Nostalgia Critic that eventually got hired around 2011. And since then he's been working for the company as one of the worst reviewers on the entire website. @Jaimas even said that this guy gives Dan Olson a run for his money in terms of being shit-tier.

"Oh but Feline! That was like 7 years ago! Certainly this guy has improved, right?"

Well, let me just give you your rating right here and now because... no, he really hasn't.

IMDB Thread Listing his Worst Episodes (in one guys opinion)

 

[GS 281]

This dude needs to clean his kitchen.

Also, I didn't know that you could get in the IMDB by being horrible

 

[Paco's Chili Holocaust]

He's so badass...

 

[Robot Holocaust]

This guy has the most annoying voice I've ever heard.

 

[Le Redditeur Part Deux]

Ah, ERod. This guy is so shit, he barely pops up in CA discussions at all. Although he's a spic like Angry Joe, his stuff is more like a (very) poor man's Linkara of all things. Glad to know he's still living his dream of sucking Douge's cock by being part of the big, happy Channel Awesome Family. I love how he never was invited to any crossovers with the "big names" on the site, despite being featured on the front page sometimes, like he was some sort of leper. Although he may have been featured in crossovers since then, the fuck I know.

That IMDB page, however... give the author the 2012 Autism Awards, the guys deserves it.

 

[Mater Lachrymarum]

His twitter is inactive since May 2016 and it's nothing interesting. His Facebook is updated, but it's mostly business-related stuff, like Doug's, so I don't anticipate much chimpouts from him.

I think the funniest thing about him is that he sales the props from his reviews as if they should be treasured memorabilia for his fans. But maybe he gets so few views on his vidoes, he desperately needs that money.

he did a crossover with doug for transformers 4 and yes it was shit

 

[MalWart]

I saw his review of My Favorite Martian a while back, and his act felt too much like a "Great Value" version of Doug's shtick.

 

[Deathfromabove]

lol manlet

also I can't believe people from TGWTG still get views, I thought that shit would have died out by now. The whole "angry reviewer" shtick was passe like 8 years ago

 

[Super Collie]

This guy's face is shaped like one of those Nintendo Mii options nobody uses.

 

[keksz]

I know what you're saying that one that screams "I'm a huuge douche", right?

 

[iafiv]

To be honest at this point most of what CA produces is equally bad.Doug is not that much better.Although even here the Blockbuster Buster is at the bottom of the pile.

 

[Pop]

Ack, the Blockbuster Buster. It took me a few videos to realize I hated this guy. Like, a lot. As in, realizing he obnoxiously tries too hard to play with the "big boys".

Overacted expressions/gestures, raspy cartoony voice, very uninspired remarks that anyone would be able to do, boring obvious jokes, destroying the DVD/tape at the end (even the AVGN did it to death!), playing multiple characters with less talent than Linkara or Douge, and forced, painfully boring and obnoxious "storylines" (why do reviewers still try to do this?? Even Linkara's fans are very mixed on this!).

Oh, and he comes off as kinda pretentious. (even TV Tropes realized how arrogant he is!)

So, not a fan. Haven't watched him in years, and I am glad I avoid his stuff.

 

[Cyber Bowling]

I've only seen a couple of his earlier videos, but even then he seemed like the younger, somehow more autistic brother of Channel Awesome. I can't remember a single original thing he brought to reviews, and I can't imagine how desperate Doug must have been to accept him. I don't know if he's actually thread worthy though. All the other CA people that have threads earned them from doing more than just posting shitty content. If Eric starts posting child porn or someone digs up his old tranny porn or something there might be something to discuss.

 

[clowney]

his stuff is more like a (very) poor man's Linkara of all things.

And Linkara is the poor mans Linkara.

 

[DerSandstrom]

Also, I didn't know that you could get in the IMDB by being horrible

All of those people have pages on iMDB. They even think that Kickassia and all of those yearly videos that they do are legitimate movies.

It takes skill to be a total sperg in a group of total spergs.

 

[Someone in a Tree]

I know this is a bad comparison, but he is the Irate Gamer to the Nostalgia Critic's AVGN. He can play the notes, but doesn't know how to handle the music.

At least AVGN never hired his botched clone to work for Cinemassacre or anything to do crossovers with.

 

[Sakura Kinomoto]

I don't understand why this guy hasn't tried to improve his production quality, Like even Doug puts effort into improving the production of his reviews (even if it's all wasted on shitty skits). Couldn't he at least buy an hd camera to film his reviews with?

How much ad revenue do you think ERod makes? It can't be that much, and whatever the amount is, he's probably spending everything in junk food.
