  • Good on ya for staying classy TJ. Best wishes.

  • I liked Trailer Failure. 

  • Thats alot of chest hair, I couldent stop looking its like a jungle....

  • @morenauer why do you say that he was not smart in this situation?

  • sadly Metallica isnt more popular than Nickelback

  • the world is unfair and you must adapt to it changing or suffer the consequences. You were not smart in all this mess. Which is a shame, because I enjoyed your videos and I always rated you 5 stars.

    Anyway, if you don't like a job, you must quit or suck it up and work. Si I guess you got what you wanted and deserved.

    Best luck from now on, TJ.

  • I'm very happy watching this video, because you're really being a good guy about this: you're telling your side of the story and being clear that you're not bitter or hold any grudge towards TGWTG. Which is alot more than one could say about a certain Australian guy. Good on you, man.

  • HOT DAMN, WHATA BEARD!

  • really to dark? brad jones (the cinema snob) reviews torture porn ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

  • Sounds like alot of bs. I was thinking of someday doing stuff like that and hoping to get on there site, but seeing a bit of the "beast" I think I would rather avoid them then.

  • holy tits you look like sam beam

  • You are too dark, but the stuff Cinema Snob makes isn't? HE REVIEWS PORN & EXPLOITATION FILMS!!!!!! Hell he had one video that ended with 10 minutes of children getting murdered!!!! *scratches his head in complete confusion*

  • metallica sucks, only rebelious stupid hating teenager's listen to it. it destroys the sense of art and creativity.

  • @johauHAU there first couple of albums were good, they have sucked for the last 15-20 years though.

  • @BlueRise85 i find their existance offending to the human ear. all the albums are torture.

  • @johauHAU Bullshit.

  • Are you doing this video from your prison cell?

  • thanks man, i was curious about what happened with you and tgwtg, This was informative and i enjoyed hearing your tales from that site. cheers

  • "Fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking, fucking"... Woah, I can't even count 'em.

  • @MadEyeLouie mad, not kad

  • @fatmandrag001 the only one whose character could have been called assasinated was linkara and he was quoting mike ellis (supposedly). He didn't come off kad at all to me, just depressed and disappointed because things changed on tgwtg and he was on the short end of the stick.

  • Epic Beard!

  • You say Mike wanted to give everyone a fair chance and then bitch about how he didn't give you as much of a run as you'd like to give the smaller names some exposure. WAT.

  • @Villainy03 Mike Ellis wanted the site to allow more people and for the people who get the most ratings to be on top, not for the site to be about just Doug, and have people who had the low views getting on top.

  • "Eh, I'm not mad about being let go from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses" *proceeds to engage in character assassination*- TJ

  • why do you have 3 channels?

  • @dragonwar524 If your referring to "TheAmazingTerroja", thats not technically his channel.

  • @dragonwar524 Because google adsense makes you more money (assuming you have the audiences) if you have more than one youtube page.

  • @dragonwar524 TJ does life is his personal shit, TAA is more like about recent events, pwning videos, etc. and TheAmazingTerroja... I have no idea haha

  • Has anyone ever taught you that no one ever takes you seriously if you habitually swear when you're presenting yourself to an audience, all the while intending it to sound serious in the first place?

  • God help you.

  • @Zeldarulah I don't understand the whole "Linkara sucks cause he doesn't swear". He swears in other videos, the only word I haven't heard him use is "Fuck". And honestly, if that's the only reason why he "sucks" then that's pretty shallow

  • @SchweitzerMan 1. Did you just go back 4 months into the comments to respond to me? 2. I like how you quote me saying "sucks" even though I never said that. 3. I clearly state "he's a pretty funny guy and makes some solid videos."

  • You're too dark, is what they said? Whose one of their newets reviewers? Oh yeah DIAMANDA HAGAN!

  • Ah, thanks for making this. It explains a lot. I'm sorry that things didn't work out for you on that site. I did like most of the Trailer Failure videos you did.

  • @Cinemaserials I don't.

  • count how many times he says fuckin.

  • 6:00 sounds like adult swim to anime shows!

    PUT ON ANIME MORE YOU FUCKS!!!!

    OTHER THAN ROBOT CHICKEN, ATHF (& AUPS1), AND SQUIDBILLYS, YOU HAVE NO SHOWS THAT COME CLOSE TO THE AWSOMENESS OF BLEACH, FMA, GITS, COWBOY BEBOB & INUYASHA!!!

    RETURN ANIME TO ADULT SWIM ALL WEEK LONG!!!!

  • I'm confused as to why they wouldn't allow your music video review, but they would allow Y Ruler of Times great review of Love Pistols.

  • My respect for you TJ. I happen to be a huge fan of both: you and Dough and call it predjudice but I swore you were gonna make a huge rant about their site, and it's cool you know you ended up in well terms. You're right and I knew exactly it was gonna happen, since their job is more comedy focused and you're videos content is tottally different. Keep posting your videos, you're one of the few people who actually has something to say.

  • WHOA HELLO MOSES LOL

    (that was a little atheist joke about his beard, which is epic)

  • It's kind of sad that you had to leave That Guy With The Glasses in those circumstances, still, it isn't all doom and gloom, I for one prefer your Amazing Atheist content to your Distressed Watcher stuff.

  • Well, it sucks that they didn't let you upload that video. Still I guess it was nice of them to stick to their deal and allow you're name to stay on the site.

  • 1. Nostalgia Critic/Todd in the Shadows

    2. Cinema Snob

    3. OanCitizen

    4. Nash

  • @Taraalcar What about me? :D

  • Look at that fucking beard,look at it bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank god. I can not stand The Nostalgia Critic anymore. It's just too goddamn silly.

  • Shit... Well, this just added a darker tone the the whole TGWTG site... A real shame that such a thing is occuring to one of the best sites ever founded on the Internet, in my opinion. Though this info disgusts me on the inside, I'm still going to watch videos from the site, just now with a heavy feeling in my belly knowing that there's a dark side to what I'm watching. Wish this stuff didn't happened to you, TJ, but what can one do? It's the randomness of life, I guess.

  • @xx9933yyzz I dunno. It's not THAT dark. It's just bussiness.No offense to TJ at all, but the way he tells it, it was as simple as he didn't have that much passion for the kind of vids he was posting and so they let him go. Remember that the TGWTG reviewers are clearly really cool, but when all is said and done, Channel Awesome is a business and whoever's in charge of the bussiness end has to make tough decisions to keep it afloat. But who cares? TJ's better at being the AA anyway.

  • @simpsonman956 True. Maybe I just didn't anticipated such shit going on in TGWTG. Oh well...

  • not really shocking the guy got booted off.

  • Too bad. I found the Distressed Watcher to have some of the best content on that site.

  • too dark? brad jones reviews movies like nekromantik, cannibal holocaust, anthopophagous and so on. they're the last people to say whether your content is too dark or not

  • How dare you say metallica and nickleback in the same sentence!

  • Comment removed

  • @MindFlip you just did! LOL

  • @gundambob646 DOH!

  • @MindFlip I know! there both shit right?!?!

  • @MindFlip ya tj, you're only aloud to say one of those shitty bands in 1 video, you cant say two equally shit bands in one video thats fucking crazy

  • @MindFlip They both suck ass.

  • @MindFlip

    Exactly! Both of them suck super hard!

  • @MindFlip Because Metallica today is fucking awful, just like nickleback.

  • @MindFlip You just did

  • @MindFlip Metallica and Nickleback... are both shite. I just did.

  • @Shenanigans07 Trololololol!

  • @razorath92 Ugh.

  • I don't think anybody on TGWTG is funny other than Doug and AngryJoe to be honest. 

  • @jpgarcia6 I bet you've not even watched any of my video on there.

  • I was curious about the disappearance of Mike Ellis, wasn't aware there'd been a dramatic parting of ways.

  • this is probable a late comment but it sucks your not on TGWTG any more

  • This was kinda sad to watch. I don't really follow the bulk of the TGWTG people anymore since, over time, I've lost respect for a vast majority of them due to their "off camera" personality being detestable. Stumbling onto this video does explain a lot of why TGWTG is the way it is now with the same 2-3 people getting the big push while everyone else kinda languishes.

  • @Sylverias I have not heard much about them off camera. Can you explain how they acted detestable, and which ones?

  • @airjoe49 It's mostly here-say and rumors, but none of it is really good. I do know that Spoony has made an ass of himself publicly on a few occasions, and I think everyone knows how Angry Joe pretty much crushed any hope of Blistered Thumbs becoming mainstream with his very unprofessional interview at the VGA's.

    Personally not a fan of the Amazing Atheist, but it's good to see him take the high ground (For the most part) and respond to the rumors in a mature manner.

  • @Sylverias

    Really? Like who? I know Spoony, Linkara & the Nostalgia Chick have done some silly things, but what about Obscurus Lupa or CR? There my favourite people on the site, I'd hate if I heard anything bad about them too, even though I know there just people.

  • Ok. Sucks, but ok. TJ could you upload all your "The Distressed Watcher" videos onto your tjdoeslife channel because they were all good, especially your top tens. They were really interesting, en captivating, and entertaining and I seriously miss them man.

    I want to make a playlist of all of them.

  • Comment removed

  • ur alonso

  • don't flatter yourself, people on the forum were petitioning to get rid of you so you weren't as well liked as you fancy yourself.

  • @ch2010ize "don't flatter yourself" ........ He's not flattering himself at all.

  • @TheRevengeOfKhat57 Completely agree about Film Brain's accent. I mean, I'm british and I started making reviews on youtube. And of course I have an accent by god DAMN does FilmBrain's grate my nerves.

  • The Distressed Watcher and the Nostalgia Chick were my favorite shows on that website. I couldn't quite stand the Nostalgia Critic's smirky little face. I have to say I lost a lot of respect for them after this. I thought it was all because of the backlash from the comment about Cop Out being worse than your dad dying, but it sounds like that place is run by exactly the kind of cynical shit sacks that represent everything wrong with the entertainment industry.

  • Tj...i watch your videos and relate ..And have a laugh.. I hate when Trolls come along in videos on here even in comments ...Just keep making them...There is interest and people are watching...Anyway...Saying this from Australia...Have a good night afternoon...whatever it is..

  • It's funny. They consider YOU too dark. Yet they'll sign Diamanda Hagan....seriously.

  • Your not good enough for Doug!

  • @booboowilson10101 Fuck Doug. His last like seven reviews have sucked dick.

  • @razorath92 two words,

    banana,

    butt

  • I find this video hard to masturbate to.

  • @Cinemaserials What are you talking about? I cum to this on a daily basis.

  • @Cinemaserials I don't.

  • @Cinemaserials - hahahahaha, heheh, hy... Haha, hahahaha.... Hehehahahyyy... Hahahaha, hahaha, hahahaha, hahehe... hahahaha....

  • @Cinemaserials I found it easy to do. ;)

  • Santa???

  • Wow, a 20-something who lives in his parents' basement who has his mother cameo in videos is a little bitch? No way.

  • I LOVE THIS BEARD :D

  • ow fuck its brock

  • wow, you look so different O.O

  • That is a bit full of shit to be honest. I am kinda dissapointed in them.

  • The genesis of Not Productive?

  • Omfg Mike Ellis was the guy in nostalgia critics top 11 nostalgic fuck ups video

  • do you

  • Well, that's the last time I visit that site. Thanks for the heads up TJ. I loved your vids there and here, just FYI.

  • are you still friends with Doug walker ?

  • quality fucking video

  • I discovered TJ because I'm an atheist and one night while watching Asa the Comic vids he mentioned good youtubers and he mentioned TAA.

  • What a load of shit. As raunchy as that site can be, such as GameFap (where they talk to porn stars and review pornographic video games.) Somehow you being an atheist will quell advertisers. The reason they didn't put up that eighties video... wow, and everything else you said. I lost a lot of respect for the site after this.

  • I like Linkara, I really do, but I laughed my ass off at you calling him a anal retentive bitch because in his videos he can kind of come off that way.

  • @MrSandman1101 I never get that feeling when watching his videos

  • I only started watching videos on TGWTG because you joined them. =p

  • Comment removed

  • Damnnn, I loved your DW videos!!! I'm sad. >_<

  • Your beard looks fucking AWESOME in this.

  • That guy with the banana story

  • @748cowboy wait what lmao

  • @748cowboy Do you have any idea how stupid you sounded just there? rofl :p

  • banana

  • bananananananan up ur butthole

  • TGWTG is a stupid fucking website anyways. Everyone on that site has the same stupid, childish sense of humor and they all rely too much on pop culture references.

  • btw, your Top Ten Gayest 80's videos does a fine job at the very start of diffusing any ignorant bullshit that could come out of the audience. Benzai and Brad Jones get away with far darker and explicit subject matter. So yeah, they kinda fucked you.

  • I'm not a fan of yours. I checked out a few of your videos on TGWTG and found you uninteresting. Then I later discovered you were The Amazing Atheist and a rather sizable name on Youtube. To say I found your videos there grating and unbearable is an understatement. All that said, it sounds like you rather got the shaft at TGWTG. They snatched you up because of the Atheist, but were afraid of flack as the site became popular. I'm sorry that happened to you.

  • imo the only funny ones on that site are nostalgia critic, distressed watcher, cinema snob and phelous.

  • @akumatekkusu666 You should try spoony his videos can be rather funny at tmes better than the nc in my view

  • @grierson123456

    With Nostalgia Critic and Distressed Watcher I like Cinema Snob, Phelous. Spoony, AngryJoe, Lupa and Linkara. Film Brain, Welshy and those chicks who pose as scientists are ok too, Everyone else sucks.

  • @akumatekkusu666 AngeyJoe not really watched, Film Brain watched a few not a great fan of his kind of pisses me off to be honist but Phelous, Spoony and Linkara they are really funny.

  • @grierson123456

    yes film brain is a bitch but hes tolerable. at least he is kind of funny unlike the nostalgia chick

  • @akumatekkusu666 fuck the nostalgia chick!

  • @calle199X

    shes the reason TJ didnt appear in suburban knights -_-

  • @akumatekkusu666 How do you know this? Can you send me a link if possible?

  • @akumatekkusu666 Why was that? And to be honest, he kinda dodged a bullet. Aside from Seude's shocking return (That scene made me say "Holy shit" when I saw it) I found it long, boring at times, the plot and lots of jokes predictable.

    I like TGWTG, but SK was forgettable

  • Someone on the TGWTG forum said something about The Nostalgia Chick sort of campaigning against TJ and keeping him off the cast of "Suburban Knights" because she thinks he is mysogynistic or something. I wonder if that is true.

  • @TrangleC That's a pretty fucking disgusting motive actually, don't watch a lot of the guy but he never really game off that way to me.

    I don't hate women, but there are good reasons to hate plenty of them. Like that one.

  • @TrangleC If that's true then Nostalgia Chick really is as big a b*tch as some people have claimed.

    Personally I've always found her to be really unfunny and mainly just kept on the site for the sake of diversity....and because she has cultivated a friendship with the Nostalgia Critic.

  • @Tyrol3

    I think if it is true, it says more about her intelligence than about her character. Antagonizing someone you think is a bigot doesn't necessarily make you a bitch, but seeing TJ's videos about feminism and gender equality and misunderstanding them as misogynistic is stupid.

  • @TrangleC well he does have a girlfriend so he must not be that mysogynstic.

  • @HelloFade2

    I'm not arguing that he is misogynistic, but for the sake of logical hygiene I must point out that the simple fact that he has a girlfriend does not say anything about whether he is misogynistic or not. I never heard of a heterosexual male who hated women so much that he doesn't even want to fuck them.

  • @TrangleC Link?

  • @TrangleC True that is WAS odd that he wasn't in the film.

  • @TrangleC probably, shes a complete bitch

  • Somebody who is close to one of the other reviewers once told me in a online conversation that Linkara can be very annoying and is overly protective (aggressive weirdo level protective) and without humor when it comes to his friends or to women in general. Apparently he flips when somebody even makes a harmless joke about one of his female friends, like one of those guys who never has contact to girls and thinks he has to play the knight in shining armor every time he is in the same room as one.

  • Everyone on TGWTG is just horribly unfunny, cept NC

  • @imanadult quite the opposite

  • @imanadult Totally agreed, man. Not that there's some other talent on the site, but NC is one of the few contributors that can cite his opinion without coming off like a snide jackass. Plus, he and Rob really are the only ones that bring any sort of real humor. You feel a level of professionalism in his presentation; whereas, with the majority of the site, I feel like that could be me turning on my camera and offering up just common-witted humor. TJ was pretty good on the site, just to note.

  • will you post a video about your thoughts on the new episodes of Beavis and Butt-head episodes. i was waiting to get your thoughts on how they watch music videos, but also the reality shows on MTV. It's hilarious.

  • You shouldn't do that.

  • unlike most people on that site, at least you did different things.

  • I'm one of the people that is interested in a comment,made on one of the forums,that you were really interested in both Kickassia and Suburban knights,but didn't go because of Lindsay Ellis.Why?

  • Jeez, the guys who run TGWTG really have contempt for their audience. Remember when Rob said "everyone on our site is fuckin 13" or something? Now they think their fans are homophobes, too?

    Jesus christ, wtf is wrong with those guys.

  • I miss Ask Skeletor. :( Does anyone know if he's still doing more of those anywhere?

  • @Optics233 I would assume that putting on and removing all the make-up takes to much effort.

  • Man, that's too bad. I was wondering why you stopped posting, thanks for an explanation. Damn. I really enjoy your videos, i always thought you have TGWTG a darker edge to contrast the mostly uplifting nature of the other contributors. Meh.

  • quote from doug :) "i'm all for dark humour"

  • I still like TGWTG, but I have to say, if what you say is true, with them thinking so lowly of its audience, and you being "to dark" When just about everyone else curses, and Benize. And what is being said during ask TGWTG. I have to call Bullshit and they likely could not fire you due to your act as the Amazing Atheist. I've lost some respect for the site...

  • Thanks for this video. Your work on "That guy.." had some of the best written Top Ten lists Ive seen on that site. You inspired me to make a channel of my own. I'd be proud if I made something half as good as you. Where as Film Brain made me think I could make something twice as good his Bad Movie Beat down.(Projector's not bad) . It's a lot harder then it looks. But on the plus side I found your Amazing Atheist channel. Keep up the great work, and kudos for taking the high road.

  • You were in my top 5 list!

    1. Film Brain

    2. Phelous

    3. Linkara

    4. DW

    5. Welshy

  • I thought you were totally awesome! You had some stupid haters on tgwtg..

  • I love how forthright you are

  • trailer failure is how i discovered you, please dont stop making videos

  • @Mrcool210 Same here. It's because of TGWTG that I found TJ.

  • TGWTG sucks balls!

  • @HardcoreAssKickinWiZ

    A-Fucking-Men!

  • i wouldn't give up on the Distressed Watcher videos. i really did like Trailer Failure, and your Sour Note show was hilarious

  • Why would TJ make a DW channel? It would be removed from YouTube like instantly.

  • i noticed this shit a long time ago, but i just thought TJ just didn't want to post anymore.

  • I loved the distressed watcher, I felt sad when I couldn't find it anymore.

  • you being atheist repels advertisers but brad Jones (cinema snob) who reviews nothing but porno is a OK, wow that makes a lot of sense :I
