You bastard. I was _going_ to say, some of your best work hasnt been the critiques, but rather the videos you've made (for example) on what heroes are and why they're important. I can't count how many times I've quoted one in particular to friends struggling with depression. Mock me if you so desire, but you've written some powerful, inspiring stuff. Glad to know I was bamboozled with this video.
"I can't count how many times I've quoted one in particular to friends struggling with depression" Mind sharing what that was you quoted to those friends?
Almost made a lot of fat middle aged men with 1k sub channels who do nothing but make videos hating Drinker, Nerdrotic etc extremely happy.... Almost 😂
Nah, man, you just forgot all the other times because you're so old! 😂 Anyway, at age 54 myself... Wait, I lost my train of thought. What were you saying? What was I saying?
Watching this two weeks after it was uploaded, and forgetting what day it was 2 weeks ago... Oscar performance good sir! You had me going there, I nearly shed a tear
Drinker, you magnificent bastard, you almost had me. I bit for about 15 seconds, before I realized what day it was. Maybe you are a drunken Scotsman, but you truly do fight the good fight. Even if we disagree on the last two Ghostbuster movies, you are still needed. Warriors like you, MauLer, AZ, Doomcock. Someday, you really will hang 'em up for good. And you will be remembered as legends.
I believed it because of the Star Wars the acolyte critique. It sounds like he's given up on the hope, that Star Wars would be good again. Very fatalistic. Maybe this video here contains more truth than he wants to tell us😂

I sense a great disturbance in the force, as if a thousand SJWs that were celebrating throughout most of this video cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Almost had me, Drinker-being a long time viewer and committed drunkard, however, I knew it couldn’t be so! Well done!! The updates on the film project are amazing!
Drinker, you've inspired me to follow in your footsteps and quit my job. Sure my children may have to go hungry for a while, but it's just not fun anymore. Thank you for giving me the courage to make this decision.
I hope you're joking. If you are a father you have a responsibility to care for you're family regardless of how hard it is. I'm not saying that you should give up on your dreams but putting your children in danger should not be acceptable no matter what. May God guide you in your life and may Jesus be your lord and savior.
You almost got me, Mr. Drinker. I panicked, clicked play, and then looked at the calendar. I'm thankful that my favorite drunken Scotsman who reviews movies is here for a while longer!
Wow… it’s not often you get someone who is so sincere about their passion, and decides to end their journey on a high note rather than milking it dry. I’m gonna miss you, but I’ll always enjoy the old memories. Good luck to you! … … OH YOU INEBRIATED PIECE OF-

For a moment there I turned into the blue-haired, hi-vis wearing person screaming at the sky, "Noooooooo!!!". Thankfully I watched to the end. You got me, you indispensable drunk bastard.
I was taken in too, til I read the first comment halfway through. I legit thought he was giving his liver a break when he said "I'm tired of drinking." Like, who wouldn't be? Liquor tastes nasty. I guess I am not part of the tradition of thousands of years that people have been imbibing fermented stuff.
That's why we love him -- he's a great storyteller! He always gives us the alternate endings and 'obvious' missed opportunities. @sheerbeauty - hey, it might help to try the good stuff. Top shelf American bourbon, or a quality cocktail with excellent ingredients could change your mind!

Aw, I will miss your videos but totally support you! Wish you all the best! Your fantastic and I wish I could have met you in person. Opps, wait what? I thought maybe it was good to end it all? You got me. Shoulda known.
When I heard "Thats all I've got, time for me to go away now" I legit thought I was hearing this for the last time, and like watching the last minutes of Avengers Endgame I closed my eyes and a tear fell down my left cheek... Then I heard "happy April fools". I smiled, with my eyes still closed and whispered "Well played my intoxicated good sir, well played".
Ditto. I love the Critical Drinker and felt an overwhelming sense of sadness until he said "happy April's fools"; then I laughed out loud. I'd rather be an April fool than see the demise of this channel. BTW, I live in New Zealand where April fool's was yesterday but good one, Critical Drinker!
As soon as he started in on the "Now that I've made a short film, I don't want to shit on the work of others" bit, I got it. Not only was this brilliantly executed, but I love the sly dig at Chris Stuckmann going on there. Well played, Drinker. Well played. 🍻
@@angelsjoker8190 He posted a video concerning Madame Web rambling about how he's not interested in giving a bad review because that's unfair to the people who made it and received major ( and, honestly, deserved) blowback from other CZcams content creators and the public for essentially toadying to the system because he just made a movie himself and is clearly trying not to ruffle any feathers. The problem is, his statement about that belies something vital to film criticism: Objectivity. If an individual is unwilling to acknowledge where w film steps wrong and instead only focuses on the good, not only is that a disservice to anyone watching or reading who is looking for some insight into whether the film is good or not, it's actually a disservice to the filmmakers and studios because they're not receiving honest feedback regarding the quality of their movies or television series. Take a look at arguably the best critic to ever be in the game: Roger Ebert. He frequently praised movies his mainstream contemporaries rejected outright ( Romero's Dawn of the Dead is a good example) and he also wasn't afraid to fully rip a terrible movie apart. Because being honest about his experience was literally his freaking job. Stuckmann essentially admitted in his video he's not going to aspire to that degree of honesty. It felt like that line in the Drinker's video here was a direct shot at that video and the flimsy reasoning behind it.
@@angelsjoker8190 I think Stuckman made a similar video and he actually started pursuing movie making and he stopped roasing movies. Now he only does positive reviews.
@@in5n80 Ah, ok. Thanks. I've read somewhere else in the comments, it's gotten kind of to the level of beef and Drinker and his pals have extensively bashed Stuckman.
Man... You had me at goodbye. I've been "away" for awhile, and seeing life through different lenses have me all up in my feels, I'm leaking. You are extremely talented, a Jedi of Jargon, and would be greatly missed. Keep grinding brother and may you live forever shiny and chrome.
Thank you, Drinker. My introduction to you brought me to HBOs Chernobyl, one of the greatest productions I've seen in my life! ....oh, you bastard.... I dub thee Drinkin' Bastard!!
OMG! Good one. I'm 67 years old and I literally started tearing up before I realized it was a joke. I love your books and your content is my absolute #1 favorite. So glad you're not going anywhere! Please don't retire until after I die! LOL
I must admit, you really had me going there, you manky Scottish bastard!! That was an excellent April Fool's gag, well-executed. I'm truly glad that you're *not* leaving. I (among many others, I have no doubt) would miss you terribly. Your work is first echelon, consistently both insightful and entertaining. I look forward to watching each and every video that you release. Thanks for doing what you do, and I hope you continue to enjoy doing it for at least however long I have left on this planet (FWIW, I turn 65 next month).
I'm from Spain and here we don't have April's fools. I thought you meant it. I have been on the verge of calling my psychologist for going into depression. I'm glad you're still going strong and drunk!!!
Well that's because on April 1st 1572 the Spanish Duke Alva, (Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel) lost Brielle to the Watergeuzen during the 80 years war which is still celebrated in the Netherlands today, and you guys are just salty about it.
Really had me going there. I was already mentally preparing my heartfelt response. Laughed out loud, scaring and making the dog jump when Drinker said April fools. Admittedly forget today was even April 1st. Hell, I paid rent today, should've known. Anyway. Thanks for the gut laugh. Looking forward to many more from the legend himself; the Critical Drinker. Cheers.
He had be for a minute because we just hit April 2 here, It's late, I'm very tired and I overlooked the date he posted. Thus, guard was down for a bit. Only one that actually got me a bit! Also, gotta give the speech a personal merit award. For a fake, that was pretty deep...or shall we call it a...deepfake? :P
You confused the hell out of me. I just subscribed and thought -wtf? 😳But there are two new videos of yours already out. It was beautifully done though, it felt so real and emotional.
This may have been a joke and I'm just catching this over a week later from the time you posted it. I do want to say thanks for all you've done. You've been one of the most reliable movie critics I've ever followed. Your assessments have been spot on.
I was drafting the most heartfelt comment in my head while listening to this saying how it’s been an amazing ride with your most excellent criticism on movies! So relieved when you punked me at the end! 😂😂😂
Right there with you. Knowing that it would be lost in a sea of a million others never to be read, I still couldn't stop my mind from going through the emotional tones and what I would say. Thank God my wife didn't catch me crying. She _never_ would have let me live that one down.
Scared the shit out of me! There were two other videos ahead, but I wasn't sure. That's an AWESOME April Fools prank!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂! I adore this man so much, and his rage at the new Indy movie was insane!
He got me in the first few seconds. Should've left out the last part about this being a joke. Then a few days from now he'd just keep uploading, making his haters lose their minds.
Thought it was a joke at first... then, I thought 'oh wow! he's serious... that's too bad! And then, relieved!... You got me! Look forward to seeing your next video!
Totally believed it. Amazing how a little bit of truth can sell a lie. Drinker, I don't watch your videos to get angry, but to gain understanding. I think your videos help us understand what good storytelling is. You are teaching a generation of people younger that really good movies are worth finding and watching, even though you have to sift through a big pile of stuff to find them.
I am super high right now and you totally got me, Drinker. I was in tears thinking about how I would never hear your beautiful, foulmouthed, Scottish voice ever again. From a stoner to a drinker, happy April Fools' Day!

As soon as he started in on the "Now that I've made a short film, I don't want to shit on the work of others" bit, I got it. Not only was this brilliantly executed, but I love the sly dig at Chris Stuckmann going on there.
Well played, Drinker. Well played. 🍻
What's it about with Stuckmann¿
@@angelsjoker8190 He posted a video concerning Madame Web rambling about how he's not interested in giving a bad review because that's unfair to the people who made it and received major ( and, honestly, deserved) blowback from other CZcams content creators and the public for essentially toadying to the system because he just made a movie himself and is clearly trying not to ruffle any feathers.
The problem is, his statement about that belies something vital to film criticism: Objectivity. If an individual is unwilling to acknowledge where w film steps wrong and instead only focuses on the good, not only is that a disservice to anyone watching or reading who is looking for some insight into whether the film is good or not, it's actually a disservice to the filmmakers and studios because they're not receiving honest feedback regarding the quality of their movies or television series.
Take a look at arguably the best critic to ever be in the game: Roger Ebert. He frequently praised movies his mainstream contemporaries rejected outright ( Romero's Dawn of the Dead is a good example) and he also wasn't afraid to fully rip a terrible movie apart. Because being honest about his experience was literally his freaking job. Stuckmann essentially admitted in his video he's not going to aspire to that degree of honesty. It felt like that line in the Drinker's video here was a direct shot at that video and the flimsy reasoning behind it.
@@angelsjoker8190 I think Stuckman made a similar video and he actually started pursuing movie making and he stopped roasing movies. Now he only does positive reviews.
@@in5n80 Ah, ok. Thanks. I've read somewhere else in the comments, it's gotten kind of to the level of beef and Drinker and his pals have extensively bashed Stuckman.
Man... You had me at goodbye. I've been "away" for awhile, and seeing life through different lenses have me all up in my feels, I'm leaking. You are extremely talented, a Jedi of Jargon, and would be greatly missed. Keep grinding brother and may you live forever shiny and chrome.
Thank you, Drinker. My introduction to you brought me to HBOs Chernobyl, one of the greatest productions I've seen in my life!
....oh, you bastard....
I dub thee Drinkin' Bastard!!
April Fools
This guys job is literally drinking and talking. he isn't going anywhere lol
Thank you! I almost fell for that! Whew!
Wait a minute he lives in scotland so that means its april 2nd for him 😢nevermind lol thats why you always finish the video before leaving a comment
Can't trust anything today
It's almost the end of the day here and I completely forgot what day it was today.
OMG! Good one. I'm 67 years old and I literally started tearing up before I realized it was a joke. I love your books and your content is my absolute #1 favorite. So glad you're not going anywhere! Please don't retire until after I die! LOL
Live long, Internet stranger. Live long 🍻
aye, wait until i die as well
Me too...like watching the ending of Shane or Lassy😂
haha, fell for this like a complete sucker! In my defence, it's 5 April so my guard was down. Nice one CD!
Damn dude, that was the most heartfelt salute.
I must admit, you really had me going there, you manky Scottish bastard!! That was an excellent April Fool's gag, well-executed. I'm truly glad that you're *not* leaving. I (among many others, I have no doubt) would miss you terribly. Your work is first echelon, consistently both insightful and entertaining. I look forward to watching each and every video that you release. Thanks for doing what you do, and I hope you continue to enjoy doing it for at least however long I have left on this planet (FWIW, I turn 65 next month).
Long live to the drinker
Happy future birthday Btw
@@lunagomezreal9425 Thank you!
I'm from Spain and here we don't have April's fools. I thought you meant it. I have been on the verge of calling my psychologist for going into depression.
I'm glad you're still going strong and drunk!!!
Let the tradition spread!!!!
Vaya, un español! Saludos desde México (casi me la creo también, jaja)
Ahem... 28 December? El Día de los Santos Inocentes... no me digas q’s’ha perdío completamentementemente.
Same here. It’s well into the second of April here and I forget the Poms and Yanks are on a time delay
Well that's because on April 1st 1572 the Spanish Duke Alva, (Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel) lost Brielle to the Watergeuzen during the 80 years war which is still celebrated in the Netherlands today, and you guys are just salty about it.
Nice meeting you, you have done an awesome job and thank you. You'll be missed.
Really had me going there. I was already mentally preparing my heartfelt response. Laughed out loud, scaring and making the dog jump when Drinker said April fools. Admittedly forget today was even April 1st. Hell, I paid rent today, should've known. Anyway. Thanks for the gut laugh. Looking forward to many more from the legend himself; the Critical Drinker. Cheers.
He had be for a minute because we just hit April 2 here, It's late, I'm very tired and I overlooked the date he posted. Thus, guard was down for a bit. Only one that actually got me a bit! Also, gotta give the speech a personal merit award. For a fake, that was pretty deep...or shall we call it a...deepfake? :P
Same
OH MY GODDDD! Never have I been so completely crushed and then immediately lifted back up! Lolololol good one, man!
You confused the hell out of me.
I just subscribed and thought -wtf? 😳But there are two new videos of yours already out.
It was beautifully done though, it felt so real and emotional.
This may have been a joke and I'm just catching this over a week later from the time you posted it. I do want to say thanks for all you've done. You've been one of the most reliable movie critics I've ever followed. Your assessments have been spot on.
I was drafting the most heartfelt comment in my head while listening to this saying how it’s been an amazing ride with your most excellent criticism on movies! So relieved when you punked me at the end! 😂😂😂
Right there with you. Knowing that it would be lost in a sea of a million others never to be read, I still couldn't stop my mind from going through the emotional tones and what I would say. Thank God my wife didn't catch me crying. She _never_ would have let me live that one down.
I was scared at first, but then I remembered that it’s April 1st. Good one, Lord Drinker. I’ll continuously support your endeavors, good sir.
I completely forgot it was April 1. I’m also an idiot though so there is that.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 It's fine. I'm sure he fooled a lot of us!
Thank you for your time and hard work.
I love you man!! After listening to the end you cracked me up!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
played us like a damn fiddle!
Thank you for your work from Portugal
Happy Thanksgiving!
And happy birthday to all 🍰
Really good, Drinker! You had me there. The delivery was so sincere I believed it.
Scared the shit out of me! There were two other videos ahead, but I wasn't sure. That's an AWESOME April Fools prank!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂! I adore this man so much, and his rage at the new Indy movie was insane!
Thanks, Drinker. We’re lucky to have you.👏🏻
He got me in the first few seconds. Should've left out the last part about this being a joke. Then a few days from now he'd just keep uploading, making his haters lose their minds.
You got me all up in my feelings for a second! This made me realize how even more important what you do is. Thank you. I'm going away now!
Thought it was a joke at first... then, I thought 'oh wow! he's serious... that's too bad! And then, relieved!... You got me! Look forward to seeing your next video!
The irony is after his Fallout Review this definitely seems more real.....
I was gutted to see the title. The sense of relief when realising was immense. God bless you Drinker.
I saw the title and thought “nooooo” but then realized what day it was
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin 😄
Damn even thoug i knew it was an April fools it realy touched my heart.
Well played sir
I forget every year
You made me laugh in a very dark day for me, menacing to make it darker even. Thanks, and thanks for staying.
I already wrote a heartfelt thank you. Well played.
Was about a minute in before I remembered what day it is. Well done, Rinker, you magnificent bastard.
At least you remembered. I got pranked by my grandma shortly after I woke up and I still didn't remember.
I totally fell for it before I read the comments !!!!!
Its after 12 oclock tho.
Wait till you hear about time zones ...
He in Scotland, so GMT
Totally believed it. Amazing how a little bit of truth can sell a lie. Drinker, I don't watch your videos to get angry, but to gain understanding. I think your videos help us understand what good storytelling is. You are teaching a generation of people younger that really good movies are worth finding and watching, even though you have to sift through a big pile of stuff to find them.
Well put and I agree 100
That goes for modern music as well, but if you can't afford or utilize Sirius, you're stuck with either the shit or oldies.
Older people too.
@@indy_go_blue6048what nonsense... do you work for Sirius? You clearly haven't checked out spotify or even amazon...
@@indy_go_blue6048and videogames as well.
2/3's of the way through, I started to look for the date and do the count backwards to April Fools Day. You almost got me!
Dude, I felt so sad watching this. Glad you arent going away
I haven't fallen for a good April fools since the days of EGM magazines. I genuinely forgot it was 4/1. Good on you sir.
I am super high right now and you totally got me, Drinker. I was in tears thinking about how I would never hear your beautiful, foulmouthed, Scottish voice ever again. From a stoner to a drinker, happy April Fools' Day!
I'm not even drunk or high and I figured it would be a joke, but it still brought me to tears.
I knew as soon as that inspirational cinematic track starting building up.
