He spent his childhood as a Navy brat, moving from state to state due to his father's career, during which he developed a strong passion for films and television. Walker majored in Communications at [[Northern Illinois University]]. == Personal life == Walker lives in [[Chicago]] with his wife, Robin Poage, whom he married in 2012, and their two cats, Chaplin (a rescued [[tuxedo cat]] named after [[Charlie Chaplin]]), and Buster (a smaller orange cat named after [[Buster Keaton]] that they adopted in 2020).<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Pickett \|first1=Leah \|title=Doug Walker: Biography \|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3766090/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm \|website=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=November 7, 2021}}</ref> == ''Nostalgia Critic'' == After graduating college, Walker worked as an illustrator to earn money, and started making videos on the then fairly new [[YouTube]] in his spare time, where his early posts of the "Nostalgia Critic" character grabbed viewer attention. Walker has stated that the Nostalgia Critic character is primarily inspired by [[Daffy Duck]] and the [[Queen of Hearts (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)#Disney\|Queen of Hearts]], as well as by comedians [[Lewis Black]], [[Stephen Colbert]], and [[Bill Murray]].<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKwn1_NoZMY\|title=Doug Walker's Character Origins\|via=www.youtube.com}}</ref> In 2008–2009, during the [[Great Recession]], Walker moved his skits from YouTube to independent site That Guy With the Glasses, and later to Channel Awesome.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Gutelle \|first1=Sam \|title=Nostalgia Critic Celebrates Ten Years Of Videos With A Much-Requested Review \|url=https://www.tubefilter.com/2017/07/06/nostalgia-critic-10-years-doug-walker/ \|website=Tubefilter \|date=July 6, 2017 \|access-date=November 7, 2021}}</ref> The majority of his skits have since reappeared on YouTube, and form a full web series spanning several seasons.

Bum", a literal [[homelessness\|bum]] with a distinctive voice), and "Charity Shoutouts", which are affixed to the end credits of ''Nostalgia Critic'' skits, where Walker promotes various international [[charities]] to inspire viewers of Channel Awesome to donate to them. Walker works with fellow actors and comedians Malcolm Ray and Tamara Chambers predominantly, along with Rob Walker.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Channel Awesome \|url=https://channelawesome.com/category/videos/channelawesome/ \|website=Channel Awesome \|access-date=November 8, 2021}}</ref> Walker's Nostalgia Critic character will at times compliment an actor in a film he views as otherwise bad (such as when he praised [[Sacha Baron Cohen]] as the personification of Time in ''[[Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016 film)\|Alice Through the Looking Glass]]''), and has been known at times to even get a personal response from actors and celebrities, most notably [[Mara Wilson]], a former child actress who had appeared in two films that Walker criticized. In Walker's review of the film ''[[A Simple Wish]]'', he surprised viewers with a guest appearance of the real Mara Wilson, who mocked the Critic in turn for bizarre home videos that he had made in the 1990s. Wilson had grown to like Walker after realizing that Nostalgia Critic was merely a fictional character and that the real Doug Walker held no hatred towards her as a person.<ref>{{cite web \|title=A Simple Wish \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2270963/ \|website=www.imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=McPherson \|first1=Rebekah \|title=Everything Mara Wilson Has Been Up To Since 'Matilda' \|url=https://www.thethings.com/everything-mara-wilson-has-been-up-to-since-matilda/ \|website=www.thethings.com \|date=May 8, 2021 \|publisher=The Things}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Shut up and Talk: Mara Wilson \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/mara-wilson/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref> As a series based in satire, ''Nostalgia Critic'' episodes balance comedy with some legitimate critical points about films and television, including the rise of crude humour and sexual content in children's media, the overuse of CGI in modern film-making, the spike in [[Disney]] live-action remakes, and the ways in which media portrays minorities and historically disadvantaged groups. The episodes often end with a much more mellowed-out Critic speaking calmly about the ultimate pros and cons of each film he reviews, followed by the Channel Awesome logo appearing with a spoken line of comedic dialogue quoted from some part of the episode itself. Doug Walker generally does not disclose early any upcoming episodes of ''Nostalgia Critic'', leaving viewers to guess what next nostalgic media will be reviewed by his character. This is sporadic and has increasingly included modern takes on "nostalgic" properties versus actual nostalgic media. While Walker originally limited his reviews to content roughly 20 years in age or older, his reviews in more recent seasons rarely include older media, instead focusing reviews on newer media such as ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' and Disney's adaptation of ''[[A Wrinkle in Time (2018 film)\|A Wrinkle in Time]]'' (both of which were released between 2017 and 2021). Some older media is now reviewed by Walker in segments separate from ''Nostalgia Critic''. For example, he occasionally reviews what he calls "Freakshow Cinema", that being nostalgic media content considered bizarre, dark and/or politically incorrect beyond normal standards.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Tag Archives: freakshow cinema \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/freakshow-cinema/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Nostalgia Critic Freakshow Cinema \|url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3hW4lOcYztS0Inj9cb6fZe4V9DO1ELJn \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=YouTube \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Examples of reviews Walker has done in this segment include reviews for ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' and ''[[Return to Oz]]''. For television shows, Walker does a separate segment called "Dark Toons" (morbid and disturbing children's cartoon episodes).<ref>{{cite web \|title=Dark Toons TV Series 2020– \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12116398/ \|website=imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|title=Tag Archives:dark toons \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/dark-toons/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Fan predictions of what the next ''Nostalgia Critic'' episode will be are generally just based on community guesses on the internet, with no official episode information available until Channel Awesome chooses to air the content publicly. Fan requests not yet fulfilled with a review have included, but are not limited to, ''[[Babe: Pig in the City]]'', ''[[Watership Down (film)\|Watership Down]]'', ''[[Lady and the Tramp (2019 film)\|Lady and the Tramp]]'' (digital CGI remake), ''[[Patch Town]]'', ''[[Birdemic: Shock and Terror\|Birdemic]]'', ''[[The Addams Family (2019 film)\|The Addams Family]]'', ''[[Xanadu (film)\|Xanadu]]'', ''[[Mask (1985 film)\|Mask]]'', ''[[Scary Movie]]'' and numerous others. Such requests have led Walker to publicly disclose the names of films that he refuses to review (some of which he has since reviewed, anyway). Channel Awesome accepts fan requests by email, but media content to review is generally left up to Walker by choice and not determined by fans except by popular demand.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Top 11 Movies I'll NEVER Review \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhHcjcg7ec \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=Nostalgia Critic (via YouTube) \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> ==Criticism== Walker was one of a number of employees of Channel Awesome named for a variety of alleged workplace incompetence, although these allegations were mostly targeted towards Mike Michaud. Walker was accused of scripting a scene in one of his videos in which co-actor [[Lindsay Ellis]] was to be sexually assaulted, which Walker toned down over concerns that it was an offensive [[Rape culture\|rape joke]], but Ellis alleged that Walker still kept parts of the script in terms of strange noises "where it sounds like [Ellis] is being assaulted." According to the allegations, "[Doug's] compromise was to alter it slightly, but it's still very much a rape joke in the final product. Doug didn't understand that it was offensive.

Walker's Nostalgia Critic character has been known to make contentious and politically incorrect jokes, including a [[child molestation]] joke in his review of ''[[The Care Bears Movie]]'' involving the Nicholas Cherrywood character, a reference pointing out and criticizing communist [[China]]'s [[Uyghur genocide]] in a review of Disney's ''[[Mulan (2020 film)\|Mulan]]'' remake, several jokes about the [[September 11 attacks]], and a deprecating comment towards autistic people in his review of ''[[Ernest Saves Christmas]]'', the latter of which had to be removed from later reuploads after Doug was met with extremely negative criticism from [[Autism Speaks\|Autism Awareness]] groups.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Doug Walker's Biggest Fuckups \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIk4PhzjR_w&ab_channel=LeisureSuitRantFiend \|website=Youtube}}</ref> While these jokes are controversial, Walker does not make such jokes when he is not in character.<ref>{{cite web \|title=The Nostalgia Critic (2007– ) Parents Guide \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1635327/parentalguide \|website=imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> The criticism of China in particular came out after it was officially revealed that Disney had thanked the [[Chinese Communist Party]] for allowing them to film ''Mulan'' in [[Xinjiang]], where forced assimilation and human rights abuses were known to be taking place.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Singh \|first1=Katherine \|title=Here’s Why #BoycottMulan Is Trending \|url=https://fashionmagazine.com/flare/live-action-mulan-controversy-boycott/ \|website=fashionmagazine.com \|publisher=Fashion \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Walker did not make the reference to this until after it was officially verified to be true in media reports.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Ward \|first1=Alex \|title=The international controversy over Disney’s Mulan, explained \|url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2020/9/9/21427978/mulan-disney-controversy-explained-uighurs-xinjiang \|website=www.vox.com \|publisher=Vox \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Mulan (2020) - Nostalgia Critic \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X6DlQqzQig \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome (via YouTube) \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Brewer \|first1=Spencer \|title=Opinion: With 'Mulan,' Disney is complicit in genocide \|url=https://www.theshorthorn.com/opinion/opinion-with-mulan-disney-is-complicit-in-genocide/article_f094e3c4-f7ca-11ea-b1aa-c79833242503.html \|website=www.theshorthorn.com \|publisher=The Shoehorn \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> == Filmography == === Film === {\| class="wikitable sortable" \|- !

In Walker's review of the film ''[[A Simple Wish]]'', he surprised viewers with a guest appearance of the real Mara Wilson, who mocked the Critic in turn for bizarre home videos that he had made in the 1990s. Wilson had grown to like Walker after realizing that Nostalgia Critic was merely a fictional character and that the real Doug Walker held no hatred towards her as a person.<ref>{{cite web \|title=A Simple Wish \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2270963/ \|website=www.imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=McPherson \|first1=Rebekah \|title=Everything Mara Wilson Has Been Up To Since 'Matilda' \|url=https://www.thethings.com/everything-mara-wilson-has-been-up-to-since-matilda/ \|website=www.thethings.com \|date=May 8, 2021 \|publisher=The Things}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Shut up and Talk: Mara Wilson \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/mara-wilson/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref> - -As a series based in satire, ''Nostalgia Critic'' episodes balance comedy with some legitimate critical points about films and television, including the rise of crude humour and sexual content in children's media, the overuse of CGI in modern film-making, the spike in [[Disney]] live-action remakes, and the ways in which media portrays minorities and historically disadvantaged groups. The episodes often end with a much more mellowed-out Critic speaking calmly about the ultimate pros and cons of each film he reviews, followed by the Channel Awesome logo appearing with a spoken line of comedic dialogue quoted from some part of the episode itself. - -Doug Walker generally does not disclose early any upcoming episodes of ''Nostalgia Critic'', leaving viewers to guess what next nostalgic media will be reviewed by his character. This is sporadic and has increasingly included modern takes on "nostalgic" properties versus actual nostalgic media. While Walker originally limited his reviews to content roughly 20 years in age or older, his reviews in more recent seasons rarely include older media, instead focusing reviews on newer media such as ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'' and Disney's adaptation of ''[[A Wrinkle in Time (2018 film)\|A Wrinkle in Time]]'' (both of which were released between 2017 and 2021). Some older media is now reviewed by Walker in segments separate from ''Nostalgia Critic''. For example, he occasionally reviews what he calls "Freakshow Cinema", that being nostalgic media content considered bizarre, dark and/or politically incorrect beyond normal standards.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Tag Archives: freakshow cinema \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/freakshow-cinema/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Nostalgia Critic Freakshow Cinema \|url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3hW4lOcYztS0Inj9cb6fZe4V9DO1ELJn \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=YouTube \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Examples of reviews Walker has done in this segment include reviews for ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' and ''[[Return to Oz]]''. For television shows, Walker does a separate segment called "Dark Toons" (morbid and disturbing children's cartoon episodes).<ref>{{cite web \|title=Dark Toons TV Series 2020– \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12116398/ \|website=imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|title=Tag Archives:dark toons \|url=https://channelawesome.com/tag/dark-toons/ \|website=channelawesome.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Fan predictions of what the next ''Nostalgia Critic'' episode will be are generally just based on community guesses on the internet, with no official episode information available until Channel Awesome chooses to air the content publicly. Fan requests not yet fulfilled with a review have included, but are not limited to, ''[[Babe: Pig in the City]]'', ''[[Watership Down (film)\|Watership Down]]'', ''[[Lady and the Tramp (2019 film)\|Lady and the Tramp]]'' (digital CGI remake), ''[[Patch Town]]'', ''[[Birdemic: Shock and Terror\|Birdemic]]'', ''[[The Addams Family (2019 film)\|The Addams Family]]'', ''[[Xanadu (film)\|Xanadu]]'', ''[[Mask (1985 film)\|Mask]]'', ''[[Scary Movie]]'' and numerous others. Such requests have led Walker to publicly disclose the names of films that he refuses to review (some of which he has since reviewed, anyway). Channel Awesome accepts fan requests by email, but media content to review is generally left up to Walker by choice and not determined by fans except by popular demand.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Top 11 Movies I'll NEVER Review \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhHcjcg7ec \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=Nostalgia Critic (via YouTube) \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> ==Criticism== @@ -48,132 +8,8 @@ Walker's Nostalgia Critic character has been known to make contentious and politically incorrect jokes, including a [[child molestation]] joke in his review of ''[[The Care Bears Movie]]'' involving the Nicholas Cherrywood character, a reference pointing out and criticizing communist [[China]]'s [[Uyghur genocide]] in a review of Disney's ''[[Mulan (2020 film)\|Mulan]]'' remake, several jokes about the [[September 11 attacks]], and a deprecating comment towards autistic people in his review of ''[[Ernest Saves Christmas]]'', the latter of which had to be removed from later reuploads after Doug was met with extremely negative criticism from [[Autism Speaks\|Autism Awareness]] groups.<ref>{{cite web \|title=Doug Walker's Biggest Fuckups \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIk4PhzjR_w&ab_channel=LeisureSuitRantFiend \|website=Youtube}}</ref> While these jokes are controversial, Walker does not make such jokes when he is not in character.<ref>{{cite web \|title=The Nostalgia Critic (2007– ) Parents Guide \|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1635327/parentalguide \|website=imdb.com \|publisher=The Internet Movie Database \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> The criticism of China in particular came out after it was officially revealed that Disney had thanked the [[Chinese Communist Party]] for allowing them to film ''Mulan'' in [[Xinjiang]], where forced assimilation and human rights abuses were known to be taking place.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Singh \|first1=Katherine \|title=Here’s Why #BoycottMulan Is Trending \|url=https://fashionmagazine.com/flare/live-action-mulan-controversy-boycott/ \|website=fashionmagazine.com \|publisher=Fashion \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> Walker did not make the reference to this until after it was officially verified to be true in media reports.<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Ward \|first1=Alex \|title=The international controversy over Disney’s Mulan, explained \|url=https://www.vox.com/culture/2020/9/9/21427978/mulan-disney-controversy-explained-uighurs-xinjiang \|website=www.vox.com \|publisher=Vox \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Walker \|first1=Doug \|title=Mulan (2020) - Nostalgia Critic \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X6DlQqzQig \|website=www.youtube.com \|publisher=Channel Awesome (via YouTube) \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Brewer \|first1=Spencer \|title=Opinion: With 'Mulan,' Disney is complicit in genocide \|url=https://www.theshorthorn.com/opinion/opinion-with-mulan-disney-is-complicit-in-genocide/article_f094e3c4-f7ca-11ea-b1aa-c79833242503.html \|website=www.theshorthorn.com \|publisher=The Shoehorn \|access-date=19 May 2022}}</ref> -== Filmography == -=== Film === -{\| class="wikitable sortable" -\|- -!

Walker was accused of scripting a scene in one of his videos in which co-actor <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Lindsay_Ellis" title="Lindsay Ellis">Lindsay Ellis</a> was to be sexually assaulted, which Walker toned down over concerns that it was an offensive <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Rape_culture" title="Rape culture">rape joke</a>, but Ellis alleged that Walker still kept parts of the script in terms of strange noises "where it sounds like [Ellis] is being assaulted." According to the allegations, "[Doug's] compromise was to alter it slightly, but it's still very much a rape joke in the final product. Doug didn't understand that it was offensive. He saw it as more of a sex joke and didn't get how it might come off as rape."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> Walker, for his part, has often expressed disdain towards sexism and violence against women, such as in his review of <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Catwoman_(film)" title="Catwoman (film)">Catwoman</a></i>, and has admitted to having a dark sense of humor based in extreme satire, although he has never clarified why the offensive scene in question was so contentious or if the allegations were true. Many Channel Awesome staff members have since left the company over the allegations, moving onto other projects elsewhere.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup> </p><p>Doug Walker's "store" on the Channel Awesome website has appeared as a defunct and insecure link to visitors. While this has been deemed problematic, Walker does not have control over the web store section of the Channel Awesome website, and thus is not considered responsible for its general maintenance.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> Walker continues to sign autographs and sell, give away and sign merchandise at public conventions, although this has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To interact with fans, Walker and co-stars of Channel Awesome regularly use <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Twitch_(service)" title="Twitch (service)">Twitch</a>, an Amazon-based video streaming service which has no physical contact requirements between themselves and fans. </p><p>Walker's Nostalgia Critic character has been known to make contentious and politically incorrect jokes, including a <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Child_molestation" class="mw-redirect" title="Child molestation">child molestation</a> joke in his review of <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/The_Care_Bears_Movie" title="The Care Bears Movie">The Care Bears Movie</a></i> involving the Nicholas Cherrywood character, a reference pointing out and criticizing communist <a href="/enwiki/wiki/China" title="China">China</a>'s <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Uyghur_genocide" title="Uyghur genocide">Uyghur genocide</a> in a review of Disney's <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Mulan_(2020_film)" title="Mulan (2020 film)">Mulan</a></i> remake, several jokes about the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">September 11 attacks</a>, and a deprecating comment towards autistic people in his review of <i><a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ernest_Saves_Christmas" title="Ernest Saves Christmas">Ernest Saves Christmas</a></i>, the latter of which had to be removed from later reuploads after Doug was met with extremely negative criticism from <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Autism_Speaks" title="Autism Speaks">Autism Awareness</a> groups.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> While these jokes are controversial, Walker does not make such jokes when he is not in character.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a></sup> The criticism of China in particular came out after it was officially revealed that Disney had thanked the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party" title="Chinese Communist Party">Chinese Communist Party</a> for allowing them to
