  • what about teen titans

  • Robin CAN take care of himself. Proof? Batman: Arkham City.

  • I always wanted to slap April O Neil....in the ass!

  • any one else see her super derp eyes around 3:00-3:02?

  • what if penny met a dinosaur

  • I love Doug :D

  • Robin is a bit better in Teen Titans, but batman never shows up in that show so I guess its kind of downgraded

  • young justice has a cool robin and shows batman

  • what show was 0:29 from?

  • yeah got to agree with the younger Robin being more badass...

    with both the younger TAS series and Teen Titans depictions being the strongest

  • When Inspector Gadget gets in trouble, Penny has to save him.

    When Penny gets in trouble, Brain has to save her.

    When Brain gets in trouble, Corporal Capeman has to save him.

    But if Corporal Capeman gets in trouble...

    Well, the fucking world blows up!

  • @AdrenalineAddict610 When Zelda gets captured, Link has to save her.

    When Link gets captured, Zelda (very rarely) has to save him.

    When Tetra is captured, Zelda and Link have to save her. (Not that I'm not aware that Tetra and Zelda are the same)

    But if GANONDORF gets in trouble...

    The whole world blows up!!!

  • What about Oliv Oil from Popeye?

  • @qwuezalothus Tell me about it. Not only is she annoying but half the time she winds up falling for Bluto even after he kidnaps her repeatedly and tries to rape her.

  • @Bzaafied

    I guess she should've been number two.

  • I love the Mary Jane Rescue Countdown.

  • slippy THAT IS ALL

    p.s i havent seen the whole thing yes so i am just guesing

  • Robin is awesome, I agree we was a decoy in most shows/ movies that had Batman. But look at Young Justice and Teen Titans he Badass in both.

  • hey I like Robin. But the leader/member of Teen Titans/Young Justice Robin, not the Batman's Sidekick Robin.

  • Okjay, fairly descriptive and meaty, and occasionally, I see a stable, solid point, and even though Inspector Gadgewt is retarded, and even though you still made some good point about him, I still am a fan of the show (...*casual.)

  • short round is freaking amazing HOLD ON TO YOUR POTATOES!

  • Willie was absolutely awful! But, Short round was that bad he was just ok.

  • Just do a YouTube search for Inspector Gadget Minus Gadget.

    You're welcome.

  • I hate Kirsten Dunst. She was so was such a pain in the neck. She´s really a bad actress and she is worsed then Bella. In compassion to Kirsten Dunst, is Kristen Stewart the best actres of the world.

  • what bothered me the most about Spiderman 3: Peter goes emo, dances sexually with another girl, and accidentally bitch slaps Mary Jane. Relationship is saved when he has to rescue her ONCE AGAIN

  • Comment removed

  • You know who needs to be on this list? Clara from Back to the Future III

  • About Inspector Gadget, I thought it was a good show, but at the same time, I thought Penny ruined it. I mean, Heroes are supossed to face danger. That's what makes them interesting. However, Penny wouldn't allow that. She would always rescuse him, and very prematurely I might add. I thought Penny was a stupid snoddy snopping brat. She took the fun out of the show. I still did like Inspector Gadget, but it probably would have been better if it wasn't for his stupid noisy brat of a niece.

  • @Gamefan113 Technically, she represents the opposite extreme. A brat type character would be like Missy from 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' or Angelica from 'Rugrats'. Brats demand that others sacrifice on their behalf. They feel entitled to it. Independent types aren't like that.

  • i don't know how inspecter gadget keeps his job, penny should file the number of bad guys he was stupid enough to trust and she would instantly be in charge, but maybe she just likes the fact that gadget man draws the fire away from the people who know about the bad guy.

  • Robin in Teen Titans is probably the best Robin.

  • are you related to Weird Al?

  • "every rendition of Robin"

    even Teen Titans?

  • Comment removed

  • Even Lucasfilm made fun of Willie being loud and annoying.

    In Lego Indiana Jones her attack was screaming at the enemy :D :D

  • Willies bitching and moaning kind of makes me laugh xD

  • April O'Neil always pissed me off.

  • 6:13 nostalgia critic should watch teen titans the robin in thatone is really badass

  • @TheMedusa1998 yeah if anything HE has to save the rest of his team.

  • I know this might make people upset, but when I first saw shortround, I thought it was just an asian human version of Elmo from seasame street, who yelled a lot!

  • I hated the female lead in that new Indiana Jones movie. Almost as bad as Willie in my opinion, except that she was just bland as hell rather than screaming her head off every scene.

  • nestalgia critic is a fagot for his coment on robin because every robin in the comics have been bad ass expecialy tim and dick

  • @SHADOWBATKILLER So ur calling him a 'fagot' but you are the one who likes Dick. Hmmm thats cool. Just lets keep the self hating gay thing to a minimum, k?

  • @GallusSapien dick as in dick greyson the first robin who grows up to be nightwing and you must have alot of time on your hands to sit down and notice my comment and take the time to agnolage it and as of for calling him fagot i understand that was stupid i try not to use it but it slips out but it still holds that N.C's comment on robin was stupid i dont think he should of put him on the list if he knows nothing about the charecter

  • @SHADOWBATKILLER I have a decent amount of time on my hands. I sometimes skim the comments section and words like fagot and n**ger tend to pop out, so I thought I would respond. But your reply was very self aware, so thats fine.

  • @GallusSapien i see so whats your opinion on this list and on the nostalgia critic in general

  • @SHADOWBATKILLER I just think its funny. I dont take it too seriously. That chick from indiana jones was annoying.

  • @PleaseHelpMeWithFIFA

    She only got in trouble twice so that doesn't really count and she was a lot of fun

  • Robo-Penny seemed familiar somehow. I then realized that Nickelodeon basically made a cartoon about almost exactly that a handful of years ago. 'My Life as a Teenage Robot' wasn't really a work of art, but the style was retro-cool, and the juxtaposition of a super hero robot teen girl trying to fit in with humans was pretty funny sometimes. The villains from this series were decent also (one word....Killgore, "SURRENDER!"). Bottom line, Robo-Penny=great idea & someone made their own version.

  • that image of robo-penny was pretty awesome. I wonder if someone can post just that clip on Youtube. I hate to wait through half the critic's review just to see it.

  • Batman and robin music for robin, wow...

  • Comment removed

  • OMG I love that movie (number 10) I remember renting it almost every week on VHS and watching it when I was lying in bed sick.

  • Comment removed

  • I can't help but feel "The Chick" should have done this one... and as for "Why 11?" We know why... I kept waiting for the scene from "This Is Spinal Tap." Why 11? "We need that extra push over the cliff.... these go to 11."

  • @PleaseHelpMeWithFIFA Good question. Sound hostile but I wanted to throttle her!

  • TNC couldn't narrow it down to 10, eh?

  • Well there is no point in catching Batman, he just breaks free... i mean, he IS the figgin Batman

  • Willie - her screaming did become useful...but only in the LEGO Indiana Jones game when you can shatter glass :)

  • Well to be fair, Robin's pretty cool in Teen Titans at least.

  • I really like critics like you! Pointing out the details, humorous comments, and knowledge of movies! Do make more stuff like this? If you do, I'll subscribe to you!

  • All of these are Mary-sues or Anti-sues...that annoys me more than anything!

  • WTF IS GOING ON IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!?!?!?

  • i wud hav put olive oyl from popeye

  • Short Round doesn't deserve to be on the list. He DOES save Indy quite a few times:

    1. Catches him in the car.

    2. Saves him from possession

    3. stops the Maharajah who is torturing Indy with a voodoo doll

    4. He even helps fight off some goons at one point

  • I think Shortround was KIND of annoying but he does MORE rescuing that Indy. Watch the movie and see. He kicks ass, saves Indy and drives a car. Willie is f***ing annoying.

  • Willie: INDY!

    Shorty: Lady only here cause she humping director.

  • The Robin from Young Justice (tv series) is pretty cool.

  • @SpiralDaze The show wasn't made when this list was made.

  • robin sucks!

  • you didn't talk about Robbin in Teen Titans. Mind if i ask Why?

  • GoodNightlyNight

    THAT IS INCREDIBLY SEXTIST

  • @arodbrooks I think the point that GoodNightyNight was making is that she sucked so fucking bad that the other characters already knew that she'd fuck up everything else so her very last option is the kitchen. I mean come on if you have to be save regularly by a blind guy & a chicken then it's clear that a small child has a stronger mentality & Easy Bake is her only safe route.....if that even.

  • He's right, Kayley shouldn't be in kinighthood. She should be in the kitchen.

  • 8:14 And it's reasons like that why he now does in-depth tutorials on how DVDs work.

  • Just tell them:

    "Screw you, I'm going home"

  • I don't know. I though Shorty was pretty useful in the Temple of Doom. He saves Indie from being mind washed, drives a car through Hong Kong, and leads a slave rebellion. That is pretty cool.

  • 8:34 TRANSFORMERS 4!!!!

  • Kayley kinda had it like Mulan ey?

  • @MovieguruThe

    she reminds me of the beauty and the beast^^

  • @Elektrototem

    i meant that Kayley and Mulan weren't allowed to do what they did in their movies cuz of they were women.

  • @MovieguruThe At least Mulan was better as a warrior than Kayley because she does kick some ass. In fact Mulan hasn't been captured at least once whereas Kayley gets captured and is helpless while just boasting she's fit to be a knight.

  • Willie: I can't go to Pankot this way!!!

    Me: SHUT UP! YOUR ON AN ELEPHANT, SO SHUT UP!!!

    You about Shorty: His voice annoys me.

    Me: SHUT UP!! HE'S CUTE AS HELL, SO SHUT UP!!!!

  • @gazelleguy "Joy...."

  • I can't belive that he ENJOYS that scene where shortround gets bitch slaped!!!!!!!!!!

  • I say no problemo all the time...And I'm nearly 17 :L

  • Well, I think that Robin from Batman: Arkham City was pretty awesome. But if we were gonna point fingers, then the biggest dumbass in distress is Rachel Dawes from the Christoper Nolan Batman movies. Just count how many times she gets in trouble in both movies. Go ahead! Her and Roger Rabbit, but you care about Roger, so that doesn't count.

  • @joshboy64 How can Robin be pretty awesome in the game if he's barely appears?

  • @tricksterhuaun he's in the challenge maps

  • Short Round's high-pitched yell reminds me of Elmo a bit. :p

  • i hated robin he made batman look like a joke

  • To me, Shortround wasn't that bad, just Willie. Shortround was a little annoying, but not horrid.

  • i think robin is also cool in teen titans. it seems weird and kid like but it has it's moments where robin is bad ass. plus when he gets captured it's on a fair amount, and those usally happen when he's captured with a few number of his team or he's seperated from them and is captured. but he is able to escape. so u can see he can take care of himself. plus he's the leader of the team.

  • Yeah, I hated fact that Penny always saved Inspector Gadget too.

  • Actualy did u ever think that giving all that stuff and copletly making inspector gadget into robo couleve damadged his brain?

  • Honestly, I don't think "..."

  • Honestly, I think his definition of the DiD is entirely true. Now the ones he reciewed here and s reasons for their picks makes sense, and to be honest, are entirely true. But honestly, I don't think it's always the case when they're in trouble and make themselves the reward. If I recall, there are movies when They save someone because they're the master or genius or key or something. They're actually needed. So making themselves in trouble all the time and making themselves the reward isn't en

  • Mowgli from the Jungle Book should've been there;

    He's stupid,naive and is constantly rescued and then gets himself in more trouble XD

  • @xWolfandBowserFanx I completely agree! I was almost waiting for Shere Kahn to just turn him into a Mowgli-kebob.

  • @KatyHallow Haha,I know,right?

    Sure,whenever Mowgli's about to fight Shere Khan,he picks up a stick,and prepares himself,but when Khan roars and pounces,Mowgli chickens out XD

  • Clearly. Nostalgia Critic does not know Tim Drake Robin.

  • This is the first time I have seen spider man and pound puppies on the same list... weird.

  • If Inspector Gadget gets in trouble Penny has to save him, if Penny gets in trouble Brain has to save her, in Brain gets in trouble Corporal Cape Man has to save him, If Corporal Cape Man gets in trouble, well, The fucking world blows up!

  • Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Short round and robin are AWESOME

  • I have one for you. Leopold Slikk in several Angry German Kid parodies.

  • Teen titans version of robin was pretty Badass

  • @nin10dude9000 Don't Forget Young Justice

  • @thatmexicanuzer so true he is so Badass there to but aqualad is the leader

  • @nin10dude9000 but don't forget that he is only 13 years old, that just makes him more badass

  • @nin10dude9000 He had to be, he ran the place. If starfire saved him all the time Teen Titans would suck.

  • @nin10dude9000 Agreed. Young Justice's version is cool too.

  • so thats where MVC3 whiny voice came from. awesome.

  • 11) I don't really care that much for the series anyways

    10) ......no comment...... :-/

    9) I really LOVE the kid, he's just so cute, BUT U HATE THAT WOMAN!!!!! D:-

    8) I never really seen much of him except for Teen Titans

    7) Again, I don't care about that show

  • Hey...dont forget Nightwing! He blends into the shadows.

  • 11. she was better in the comics and cartoon

    10. does she even know what a knight is?

    9. i liked the kid but that b**** was horrible >:(

    8. not every version but most of them are

    7. with all that stuff, it's a wonder he hasn't killed everyone

  • Anyone think that NC's 'Robin' voice is where he learned to to his 'Douchy' voice? :D

  • #11 A little harsh but I agree she's nowhere near as bad as some of these others

    #10 Could have been better developed but then again the whole movie was a huge clusterfuck, Still she had her moments

    #9 But they're supposed to be comic relief

    #10 The Teen Titan version was good, so is the one in Young Justice

  • Haha a woman knight surely you jest!

  • Can ya add Princess Peach to the List?

  • @MrDeejayjfx Watch part 2. :)

  • #8 I have to admit I was a Robin fan growing up. though the character could have been better. I admired Batman Forever for doing ok with him but by the third time he had to be saved I was like "Fuck you Joel Schumacher!"

    #7 I am still wondering how this guy got to be an inspector.

  • #11 Her character I thought was likable. But at least she's at the bottom of the list

    #10 I think she should have been put higher on the list mostly because the movie itself is unlikable and she doesn't help

    #9 Not only is she a pain in the ass but she's also not as hot as the other leading ladies, so that doesn't help her to be likable. Shortround on the other hand actually does help Indiana out.

  • isnt inspector gadget a free lancer...? since penny usually does the work and makes it seem like hes competent other people think he does a good job with jsut unorthodox methods, people hire him because he appears to get results

  • Comment removed

  • I swear Doug has a old version April fetish

  • 4:01 should have been "what is a damsel anyway?"

  • 5:32 Child abuse ftw?

    I think the reason Gadget was so derpy was a result of the operation to implant all those tools. Something screwed up his brain, resulting in a useless useful guy.

  • The Temple of Doom is AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Inspector Gadget - LOL

  • Robo-Inspector Penny needs a spin-off. lol

  • For all of you saying Slippy should be on this list, GET REAL! He gets captured once, ONCE and you say hes one of the WORST damsels in distress of all time? He is bad, BUT HES FAR FROM THE WORST! He fights, he displays your enemy's health, and without him you would have both Wolf AND Andrew on your ass >_> Hes weak, but like I said, hes far from worthless unlike April, Daphne, Mary Jane, Peach and the others on this countdown.

  • Holy bicycle shorts batman! Look im annoying! Great job as usual keep it up!

  • your crazy 8:29

  • Comment removed

  • Kayley is part ginger which explains her lameness.

  • I knew it it.. I m not the only one who find robin totally annoyin' !!

  • The Nostalgia Critic forgot to mention the Lois from Smallville. She's awesome :)

  • Dude, if the Nostalgia Critic ever saw Ronin Warriors, he'd probably want to put Yuli on this list!

  • One freaking word: SLIPPY

    From Star Fox

  • @Red031796 thats mynickname at highschool..... i feel so worhthless.. GUYS?!? GET THIS GUY OFF ME! GUYS!?!

  • April O Neil is so TOTALLY a dumbass in distress. He's just supporting her because he thinks she's hot. I know I'm gonna get a lot hate replies for this, but this is one of his fuck ups.

  • Here's my take on Robin's outfit: It's very deceiving. You look at a young boy in a colourful superhero outfit and you think, "Psh, yeah, it's just some little fanboy playing hero." That's when he strikes.

    I don't know, I may just be defending the character because I find him so interesting. I like the back-stories and the idea of somebody so young fighting alongside Batman of all heroes. It might just be the younger me talking. How many kids dream about something like that, right?

  • Sam Witwicky should've been in the list. Same with April O' Niel. I just think she's a real idiot. But no one's as idiotic as Sam Witwicky. Except Jar Jar Peach and Bella. ^^

  • With the 2nd animated robin that scene does not count he was being tortured by the joker

  • My dog talks to me in dreams, last night he said i need to remember to give a fuck about anthropomorphism and fake inspector qualifications. Im a Field Marshel in these dreams, and my dog is angelina jolie

  • I think Willie is more annoying than Short-round.

  • I think there's a show where some girl gets a crapload of gadgets, but give anyone gadgets and they become idiots

  • short-round is a good character, but his voice is so annoying!

  • All I could think about while he was going on about Kayley was that one scene where she talks about wanting to rescue "damsels in distress" even though she has no idea what a damsel is.

  • Heeey, you don't diss Dick Grayson in BTAS or anywhere! He's awesome. Annoying but awesome.

  • HOW THE HELL DID GADGET BECOME AN INSPECTOR?

    This has always bugged me about cartoons. How the hell did people who clearly have no qualifications for a job, actually end up doing it? What inspector in the world acts like that? I don't even wanna know what the creators of the show were thinking. There isn't a detective ALIVE who acts like that?

  • @Serdikhan I think the whole point is that, ever since Gadget has been going, Penny has always been helping him out with Brian and Gadget just bumbles through and everyone just assumes he was the one that sorted it out because...hey...a girl with a magic book and a talking anthropomorphic dog clearly have no sklls for fighting off evil. I suppose Penny and Brian could just tell him...I always wondered why they didn't...oh yeah because then there would be no story.

  • @BelatedCommiseration Brian is not an anthropomorphic dog per say, he's not that high on the Sliding Scale Of Anthropomorphism.

  • @Serdikhan Errr....how do you work that one out? He is bipedal and apparently has opposable thumbs that he can use to manipulate objects, as well as being able to speak (albeit limited). How much more anthropomorphic can you get?

  • @BelatedCommiseration How much more anthropomorphic can you get? According to the Sliding Scale Of Anthropomorphism, the next step is wearing clothes, having the ability to talk, walk on two legs and behave like a person while containing his animal species type body. The next step is having his dog head and tail on a human-framed body, like Fox McCloud from the Star Fox games. The next step is him looking virtually human with his only animal parts being the ears and tail. The last step is human.

  • @Serdikhan So where are we? Brain does wear clothes in Gadget (a trenchcoat and glasses sometimes) as I said before is bipedial (i.e he can walk on two legs) he can manipulate objects and use his hands and arms in a non canine manner. Now its true that Fox Mcloud, earthworm Jim (when in his suit) etc are perhaps higher up the scale in that they only have the head and tail left and a human body, but Brain ticks most of the boxes to bring him pretty high on the scale, hence my original comment.

  • @BelatedCommiseration Since Brain is below the anthropomorphic level of Funny Animal, and isn't quite a Civilized Animal character, he varies somewhere between Partially Civilized Animal and Speech Impaired Animal.

  • @Serdikhan I suppose we are getting into the relm of opinion here, but do you really think Brain is uncivilized? He shows a knowledge of technology beyond the degree of some humans, shows empathy and understanding with Penny and Gadget, as well as affection, and shows a strong sense of right and wrong. He acts upon these feelings in a highly mobile way often associated with human beings. He can manipulate complex objects and walk and run. The only thing letting him down is articulate speech.

  • @BelatedCommiseration You really need to learn about the steps of anthropomorphism and which animals qualify for which step and why. You know Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto. Brain is above his anthro level by just a little. A civilized animal is for example the white rabbit from Alice In Wonderland. He wears clothes, he talks, he walks on two legs, he acts like a person, he's treated like a person. You can replace him with an actual person and the plot will still be same. Brain is not like that.

  • @Serdikhan Well yet again, as I said, it is a matter of opinion and it is a bit stupid to argue about anthropomorphism when you have more or less said your self that Brain IS on the scale of anthropomorhism anyway and he obviously is anthropomorphic regardless of any other characters in history who may be 'further up the scale' (quote un quote) but, going for what you said, I am of the opinion you cold replace Brain with an actual person and it would work just as well.

  • @Serdikhan I'm guessing it's because it's suppose to be funny. Someone who doesn't seem qualified and gets a job. It's like,"They don't know how to do their job, laugh at it!" Yeah they're cartoons but sometimes they can try to be a little realistic.

  • @Serdikhan Like Maxwell Smart in Get Smart for example

  • @Serdikhan Well, maybe the REAL boss is actually an earthworm who's retarded even among his species but happens to be Chuck Norris's brother, therefore making his orders unquestionable.

  • @Serdikhan It's the dilbert principle. Read scott adam's book of the same name and it will tell of the uselessness of management position

  • @Serdikhan I'm reminded of Larry The Cable Guy in "Health Inspector". The tagline said it all: "They'll give anyone a badge".
