On paper, the job of a reviewer of any medium is to provide an evaluation of a given work in the medium, outlining its good and bad points and whether you should check it out. Useful, succinct, and an integral part of any entertainment industry.
And then there's the Caustic Critic.
This is a reviewer who not only savagely criticizes the work in question but also calls it names until it bawls. Why? Because it's funny, and the Caustic Critic is first and foremost out to entertain an audience. That said, the Caustic Critic is almost always rather divisive, especially when they take on a generally well-liked game / show / movie / album / book / manga / anime / webcomic / webcartoon / fanfic / lamp.
Most Caustic Critics belong to one of three types of reviewers: those who thrive on Bile Fascination and give only negative reviews, those who review both good or bad recent works but consider merciless panning the only honest way to criticize the bad ones, and those who don't really care about honestly reviewing anything (without necessarily only panning, either) and are doing the whole thing for Rule of Funny alone. They need not necessarily be reviewers; they might be essayists discussing trends, but the spirit is the same.
Also note that some (perhaps even many) of the below examples do have human moments where they admit some of the things they review aren't all that terrible. Some may even have special segments dedicated to positive commentary. And some genuine Constructive Criticism can be given. Moments where the snark is dropped to point out something legitimately, unacceptably bad or offensive hit all the harder, and moments when genuine praise is meted out are all the more precious for their rarity.
On the opposite end, some might go into Comical Overreacting.
Alternately, as the above quote implies, a usually constructive critic is tempted to bring out the sarcasm guns by an unusually bad work or product.
Compare Sturgeon's Law, which might either be the cause or the result of these critics (or both). See also Straw Critic, Harsh Talent Show Judge and Accentuate the Negative.
This trope tends to be cyclic in popularity. At times, it's considered entertaining, especially if the audience already agrees that the target of the caustic review probably deserves it. At other times, audiences will prefer a more educational, no nonsense, objective review of a product that they may consider purchasing or watching. This is why a lot of current Youtube reviewers have dispensed with comedic interludes, quirky deliveries, and other filler, thus being able to focus on informative content over stage persona. Or they might be offended by a caustic negative review of something that is considered Cult Classic of Fair for Its Day, especially if the caustic reviewer in question is obviously too young to remember when it was a new thing.
If the critic says that they're accentuating the negative out of tough love to help their victim improve, that's a Compassionate Critic. They still can seem just as mean, but at least they (supposedly) have their target's best interests at heart.
Some Caustic Critics can be Played for Laughs. Their over-the-top reactions to everything from video games to sports to professional wrestling can be just as entertaining as anything they say about a given work, organization or event. Their reviews become Sadist Shows where half the fun is watching them suffer meltdowns at whatever they're discussing.
In-Universe, Caustic Critics are frequently portrayed as jaded washouts dumping their Sour Grapes onto younger versions of themselves, individuals with extreme Opinion Myopia who have declared themselves the ultimate judge of quality in a particular field, and/or attention whores mostly interested in drawing an audience by wiping their feet on the coattails of anything moderately popular. This can occasionally be Truth in Television.
Contrast Constructive Criticism, which actually aims to be useful to a creator rather than entertaining to an audience. Unfortunately, many people confuse one for the other, due to the popularity of the Caustic Critic trope.
Caustic Critics tend to be more inclined to apply a Critic Breakdown to underscore when they really do feel that a work is irredeemable, as opposed to simply something they would pan for other reasons.
A darker variant is Bad Review Threat, when someone leverages the threat of a caustic review in order to get some sort of special treatment. (This would in fact be considered unethical by journalistic standards, but that doesn't stop the Bad Influencer.)
When their targets decide to repay them in kind, you get the case of Take That, Critics!.
Not to be confused with Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, though some Caustic Critics do admittedly indulge in it at times.
Here's the guide for those who want to be one of them.

In his commentary of The Klingon Art Of War, famed author K'Ratak speaks of being incessantly harassed by a critic who disparaged not only his writing but also everything else imaginable. Said critic then had the temerity to ask K'Ratak for advice on a story of his own. That's when K'Ratak finally killed him.

Channel Awesome has many such reviewers
The Nostalgia Critic did this to old kids’ shows and movies till the show ended in 2012. With its subsequent reboot in 2013, he started to include more modern films as well. Also deconstructed, as his job has made him miserable, and he only did it so that people would like him.
The Nostalgia Chick started out as the Critic’s Distaff Counterpart, though she later broke out of the Girl-Show Ghetto and started criticizing whatever she wanted. Since then, however, the Chick's creator Lindsay Ellis has turned against the style, seeing it as having popularized a toxic brand of online media discourse in the 2010s. With the exceptions of her episodes on Freddy Got Fingered and the Lord of the Rings films, she's made all of her old Nostalgia Chick videos private and accessible only to her Patreon subscribers, while her videos since 2016 (first on YouTube and then on the streaming service Nebula) have been less caustic and more analytical video essays about pop culture.
The Cinema Snob.
The Snob himself is the most direct comparison: He actually is modeled on snobbish film critics who refuse to adjust their standards, even when reviewing schlock. He has made frequent jibes at the hypocrisies of real-life critics, as well.
In Midnight Screenings, Angry Jake is the most caustic of the bunch, since he has to review sloppily made kiddie flicks.
Linkara, who reviews old comic books that suffer from poor writing, bad artwork, and various other problems. Though not unusually vitriolic for this trope (he's notably the only Channel Awesome member who doesn't use "hard" swear words in his videos), Linkara is somewhat more dedicated to it than others listed here, having initially rejected fan requests to review good comic books stating that the whole point of his regular feature is to rant about the bad stuff. Though he has increasingly toned down the vitriol in recent years in favor of a more balanced approach, but can still get incredibly caustic for truly awful works.
JesuOtaku, who normally reviews anime, can be seen as one both in and outside of his target medium. He is infamous in otaku circles for his outspoken and harsh opinions of moe culture. Other victims included such shows as RWBY, The Legend of Korra, and Young Justice, among several others. In fairness, most of these opinions were expressed through his Twitter account, but it has soured his relationship with Western Animation fans who had previously deemed him One of Us.
The Distressed Watcher, a former contributor, is even more of a caustic critic than anybody on the website, covering trailers specifically. Also known as The Amazing Atheist, he has made a number of caustic videos on religion and politics on YouTube.
Oancitizen, during his slow slip into a Heroic BSoD during his review of Melancholia, ended up discussing this trope, talking about how the internet is a great medium to hate things, and how you're almost expected to not enjoy anything without riffing the hell out of it.
Bennett the Sage, who reviews anime from the 80s and 90s on Anime Abandon, savagely dissecting the bad and pointing out the flaws in the good. He also lampshades the negative reactions of fans when he professes his dislike of popular titles such as Perfect Blue or Grave of the Fireflies. Later on, however, he moved the show in the direction of analysis and dissection rather than pure criticism, and even talked a bit in some videos about how one eventually hits a creative wall when it comes to just crapping on bad stuff.

In The Simpsons, when Homer Simpson became food critic he was at first the opposite of this and praised everything, but when another critic told him to be more critical he took it too far and started giving negative reviews to everything. The food critic he replaced was herself an example, as evidenced by her retirement party where she criticized the cake.

Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders features a caustic critic as the husband of a main character — bizarrely, he seems to review everything, including small magic shops located in non-descript strip malls. He publicly dictates his blistering reviews into a tape recorder. The movie was riffed in a final season episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and Mike and the bots are incredibly amused by the guy, with Crow at one point shouting, "My reviews have destroyed whole cities!"

The Rageaholic reviews and critiques movies, videogames, and music with no hesitation to Accentuate the Negative to something he freely admits to not liking, with the added twists of a witty, fast-talking nature, a very large vocabulary, and a liberal usage of pictures to get his point across. He proudly lists Dennis Miller as his main inspiration, but woe betide to those who call him a clone of Yahtzee. He also has a chip on his shoulder towards large videogame publishers.
Uniquely, he's also not afraid to mock, comedically or seriously, other Caustic Critics like Yahtzee, Jim Sterling, Channel Awesome (specifically Angry Joe), and many others.

Jim Sterling (back when they did reviews) would heavily tear into video games that were of bad quality and they had a gold mine of them back when Steam Greenlight (a service that helped indie games get exposure) existed. They also would mock developers that could not handle their criticism and attacked them. As Jim changed how they did their content, they cut back on the caustic side of their personality and only lets out in full force if a game is extremely bad.

The judges on Chopped have received this reputation for being very picky; although they have lightened up significantly compared to in the earlier seasons. Their harshness is justified - in that the contestants on Chopped are all professional chefs and have completed Culinary Arts school. On episodes and series with non-cook contestants such as a few Celebrity Edition episodes, Junior, as well as Cooks vs. Cons & Bakers vs. Fakers, the judges are much more forgiving and give more Constructive Criticism.

One episode of Bonkers involved such a critic of cartoons having his life threatened. In fact, this critic criticized everything; when Lucky interviews anyone with a motive, he ends up talking to every Toon who had gotten a bad review ("We must have spoken with every Toon in Hollywood"). And as it turns out, the attacker was the only Toon whose show was being cancelled because of bad reviews.

The Twilight Zone (1959):
In "A Thing About Machines", Bartlett Finchley is a misanthropic critic for a gourmet magazine who never misses an opportunity to denigrate people to their faces or humanity in general. He is ultimately destroyed by the very machines that he hates.
In "A Piano in the House", the drama critic Fitzgerald Fortune is a cruel, callous man. He takes delight in humiliating his much-abused wife Esther, his friends Greg Walker and Marge Moore and his butler Marvin by using the piano player to force them to reveal their most private thoughts and feelings. The tables are turned when Esther uses the piano to force Fitzgerald to admit that he is essentially a frightened little boy who lacks emotional maturity.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "The Misfortune Cookie", a nasty food critic named Harry Folger delights in writing awful reviews, which can make or break local restaurants. He's so cruel that he starts writing negative reviews of new eateries before he goes to them, often immediately following a glowing review by his rivals. He meets his match at Mr. Lee's Chinese Cuisine, which provides magical fortune cookies which predict the future. Mr. Lee warns that the cookies will give "due fortune" to those who read them, but Harry refuses to change his ways, even after getting a cookie that reads "You're going to die". As he storms out of Mr. Lee's, he is suddenly overcome with a horrible hunger, and finds himself on a street surrounded by Chinese restaurants: he eventually realizes he's dead, and is going to spend eternity eating the food he derided in life, but still starving.

Emma Glamour from DuckTales (2017) is a notoriously hard-to-please critic who hosts a gala every year in order to determine what trends will make it onto her "It" List. She also doesn't let up on her criticisms when it comes to kids (as demonstrated when she gives a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Louie over the unoriginality of his plan to get the Caballeros on the list) or her own family (with the implication that her parenting is what turned Mark Beaks into the Attention Whore he is now).

Forbes online film critic Scott Mendelson tends to be this from time to time. In fact, user comments to his negative review of a critically acclaimed film (for example, one of the reasons why he gave a negative review of The Peanuts Movie is due to him personally not being a fan of Peanuts and that he loathed every time that Charlie Brown failed, which is actually a popular Running Gag in the comic strip) tend to be directed towards him. However, he is far more respected as a box office pundit.

In 2007, WWE's "revival" of ECW made Bryan Alvarez of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter so angry he actually directly messaged and emailed WWE personnel to complain to them directly. He said the resounding response could be summed up as "Yup, it sucks." That said, WWE did spend the next three years trying to improve the program before giving up.

Stuart Campbell built up a reputation for scathing game reviews in Amiga Power. He gave a 4% score to European Champions in a partial-page review, a 2% score to International Rugby Challenge in a three-page review, and, in the magazine's final issue, a 1% score to Kick Off '96 in a four-page review where he argued before a Kangaroo Court that games like this, not reviewers, were responsible for the death of the Amiga.

Interestingly enough, he actually deconstructs this entire way of thinking in his review of the Resident Evil 2 remake, where he insists that just because he's a caustic critic that doesn't necessarily mean that anything he gives the slightest nod of approval to is a brilliant genre-defining masterpiece. When he's saying that a game is "just fine" or "good", he means it.

JesuOtaku, who normally reviews anime, can be seen as one both in and outside of his target medium. He is infamous in otaku circles for his outspoken and harsh opinions of moe culture. Other victims included such shows as RWBY, The Legend of Korra, and Young Justice, among several others. In fairness, most of these opinions were expressed through his Twitter account, but it has soured his relationship with Western Animation fans who had previously deemed him One of Us.

The Cinema Snob.
The Snob himself is the most direct comparison: He actually is modeled on snobbish film critics who refuse to adjust their standards, even when reviewing schlock. He has made frequent jibes at the hypocrisies of real-life critics, as well.
In Midnight Screenings, Angry Jake is the most caustic of the bunch, since he has to review sloppily made kiddie flicks.

The Nanny had Frank Bradley in "Sunday in the Park with Fran", who pans virtually all Broadway plays. C.C. Babcock tries to curry favor with Bradley by making Maxwell Sheffield's youngest daughter, Gracie, go on a play-date with Frank's son, Frank Jr., despite Gracie's insistence that she doesn't like him and Fran supporting her. During the play-date, Frank Jr. is bullying Gracie, so Fran stops him by (gently) hitting him with a baguette. When C.C. and Maxwell learn about this, they try to make Fran apologize to Frank Sr., though it becomes obvious that winning over Bradley is a lost cause, and as he gets hostile towards Fran, Maxwell tells him off about him and his son.

Zig-zagged in Miraculous! Rewrite; while Annalise and Danielle are highly critical of the Ladybug movie, it's shown that their opinion is shared by almost everyone else that watched it, and they're friendly towards the main characters. The only person that sees them as this trope is the movie's director, and that's only because he's so egotistical that he refuses to acknowledge that his work has any flaws.

An Iranian Lemon64 user called Ali Pouladi became rather famous for his negative reviews. He also made positive reviews (even if he attracted controversy for the fact that he considered Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders to be average) and even managed to interview a few people who worked on Commodore 64 games he liked, but as you can tell from his review index, the majority of his reviews were negative.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch had Joe Pollack, who seemed to hate nearly every film that was released and came off as a bitter old man most of the time. He would especially pick apart films on small details (for example, he trashed Reservoir Dogs and Total Recall (1990) because of their violence and nothing else) and hate for the sake of hating.

Psychonauts 2 has the Gluttonous Goats in Compton's Cookoff, who are Compton Boole's perception of how Hollis, Ford and Otto see him as filtered by his anxiety. They serve the role of food critics in a cooking show who are constantly berating him, putting him under intense pressure and whose compliments only go as high up to "Moderately Pleasant". Their defeat reveals that they're ultimately just hand puppets controlled by Compton's own hands, showing how he's his own worst critic.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is the Trope Codifier as far as the application of this trope to film and other entertainment media goes. The premise is that the evil Dr. Forrester has forced a hapless man to watch all manner of bad old movies in order to find a film so bad it will drive people insane and let him Take Over the World. Said man (Joel Robinson, then later Mike Nelson) stays sane by making fun of the movies with some robot friends.

The Archies have had to deal with music critics once or twice.
In one story, a 'Rap McNasty' demeans their style as nothing more than 'bubblegum rock'. The Archies fight back by making a music video of them surrounded by bubbles while chewing bubblegum, in a 'We're bubblegum and proud' manner. The video is a huge hit, and as apology McNasty went to interview them while chewing bubblegum.
In another, Veronica turns down a date offer from one Virgil Venom, and as revenge Virgil starts writing bad reviews of The Archies. (According to Veronica, her reply "Put a large hole in his ego") They get back at him by playing songs written by the son of Virgil's publisher, said to be a great songwriter, but keep that fact hidden until after the reviews are finished and about to be released. Sure enough, the idea that he's insulted his boss' 'baby boy' sends Virgil fleeing from town.

Malcolm in the Middle: In "Malcolm Films Reese", the dude ranch Francis works at is savaged by Charles Cutler. He comes back, supposedly to give them a second chance, but starts smugly dictating another mean-spirited review within seconds of being greeted. Upon being told that Francis and Piama are married, Cutler sneers about how his hosts aren't content on ruining the experiences of one generation of vacationers and insist on breeding. In response, Francis and Otto give the guy a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. As he's taken away on a stretcher, Cutler insults the color of the ceiling, as well as the sloppiness of the mauling he just received, remarking that he'd seen fiercer beatings meted out at a preschool playground. He also proceeds to write a nasty review of the hospital that treats his injuries. All of this backfires on Cutler, as his bad reviews have made him Hated by All. All of the other local hoteliers and merchants (whom Cutler savagely reviewed) are delighted by his misfortune, resulting in Otto and Francis receiving all kinds of gift baskets and having so many guests lined up at their dude ranch that they will be booked full for seemingly eons to come.

The Murder, She Wrote episode "Deadpan" had a theatre critic played by Dean Stockwell, who was known for dismissing everything - although Jessica would be the first to admit that in the case of Maine-ly Murder, the play very loosely based on her Murder Comes to Maine, he had a point.

The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews old console (primarily NES) games in this fashion, critiquing such things as poor (for the time) sound and graphics, badly thought out gameplay and tremendous difficulty. Many of his reviews culminate in profane rants and him physically assaulting the game cartridge. He pokes fun at his own status in one of his videos, where he finds a video game he actually likes and reacts with utter bewilderment.

The Nostalgia Chick started out as the Critic’s Distaff Counterpart, though she later broke out of the Girl-Show Ghetto and started criticizing whatever she wanted. Since then, however, the Chick's creator Lindsay Ellis has turned against the style, seeing it as having popularized a toxic brand of online media discourse in the 2010s. With the exceptions of her episodes on Freddy Got Fingered and the Lord of the Rings films, she's made all of her old Nostalgia Chick videos private and accessible only to her Patreon subscribers, while her videos since 2016 (first on YouTube and then on the streaming service Nebula) have been less caustic and more analytical video essays about pop culture.

Psychonauts: Jasper Rolls from Gloria's Theatre, a mental construct that represents her inner critic who is constantly mocking the construct of her inner beauty and muse, Bonita Soliel. Bonita remarks that Jasper's always been around, but he's become too gigantic (literally and metaphorically) to ignore ever since Gloria's mother was Driven to Suicide. Raz eventually discovers that Jasper is secretly the Phantom, a shadowy figure who's been sabotaging the plays Gloria stages (and thus her memories and sense of self), making him the Anthropomorphic Personification of extreme self-doubt and guilt. The young Psychonaut defeats Jasper by bathing him in light (which represents positive power and joy), eventually reducing him to a tiny, squeaking nuisance that everyone ignores.

Crimson and Noire: Plagg becomes this once he gets access to the Internet; he has no affection for Alya or her Beetle Blog after she writes Lady Noire as a destructive menace or ex-villain, so his only motivation for getting an account is tearing her articles to pieces. Coincidentally, this happens around the time Alya was realizing that she needed to be less biased in her reporting, but that doesn't stop Plagg. He does note that it's harder to find points to criticize after he's banned from the forums 24 times but "he would find a way."

On most of his various series (Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, Hotel Hell) Gordon Ramsay is absolutely vicious to the chefs and creators he interacts with, tearing their ideas and work down in fits of rage. But he only does this to those who present themselves as professional chefs and hoteliers, and repeatedly harps on how mistakes in these professions can put customers at risk of illness or (in the case of undercooked shellfish) death. By contrast, he's gentle and supportive when he's dealing with amateurs or kids, who aren't claiming to possess skills they don't have.

Percival in The Proud Family episode "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." He is an obvious Expy of Simon Cowell of American Idol fame, voiced by Tim Curry, who often shuns tweens who are auditioning to be in "Tween Idol", leading Michael to conclude that he's evil. To be fair, though, one of the tweens he sends out the door, Dijonay, really is Hollywood Tone-Deaf. Even so, when he hears Agatha Ordinario sing in the finals, he cries Manly Tears as he says to her, "You, Agatha, are perfection."

In the Illuminatus! trilogy, the character of literary critic Epiciene Wildeblood, who frankly admits to his editor that he hasn't read the book as such, but has given it a "thorough skimming", and who then proceeds to destroy it on every level he can think of. The fact the in-universe book is clearly the Illuminatus trilogy itself is probably Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Take That! at insensitive and incompetent literary critics in the real world.

Sarah Z started out making videos in this style, but has since moved beyond them to more analytical video essays. Much like the aforementioned Bob Chipman, in her video "Bad Media Criticism" she states that she feels that many critics on YouTube (including herself in her early videos) focus on negativity in order to get more views and mistake nitpicking for criticism, and that this has produced an unhealthy focus on stories not having plot holes over things like characterization and broader themes. It doesn't help that, in the lesser examples of this style of criticism, some of these criticisms can themselves run afoul of poor research, revealing that the critic doesn't know what they're talking about. Worse, she feels that this has started to bleed into storytelling, as stories made with an eye towards preemptively responding to critics on YouTube have taken to over-explaining every minor detail to their detriment.

One of Hitman (2016)'s Elusive Targets, Wen Ts’ai, is an influential and notoriously harsh food critic infamous for not even eating the food he's supposed to review, as he considers rating a meal by such "vulgar" attributes as taste or flavor to be "too plebian". Instead, Ts’ai judges the restaurants he reviews clinically by their overall presentation, grousing over tiny, nitpicky details and punishing any small deviation from his perfectionist standards with full-length, relentlessly scathing reviews. He's already driven one aspiring chef to suicide for being served some slightly over-chilled ice water, which is why he's been marked for death by the ICA. Notably, when the briefing shows various comments about him, there's a quote from an earlier Target (a sadistic, short-tempered chef modeled after Gordon Ramsey), stating that he would "F*CKING SH*T MYSELF" if Ts’ai set foot in his restaurant.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
In the episode "Spice Up Your Life", Rarity and Pinkie Pie try to help a failing ethnic restaurant, the Tasty Treat, impress Zesty Gourmand, a super-snooty food critic with very particular tastes in food (in short, she thinks that if it has any real flavor, it's automatically bad) and decor. Ultimately, though, they convince the citizens of Canterlot to give the Tasty Treat a chance and reject Zesty's strict, cookie-cutter ideas of what a fancy restaurant should look like.
In another episode, "Honest Apple," Rarity plans a big fashion show for some up-and-coming designers, and invites Applejack to be one of the four judges, believing that getting an outsider's opinion will help keep the contest grounded. Unfortunately, Applejack quickly becomes a Caustic Critic, openly deriding everyone's work and calling fashion itself silly, even though she knows absolutely nothing about designing clothes. She tries to defend herself by pointing out that Rarity asked her to be a judge for this kind of opinion, but Rarity counters that it's possible to offer sincere criticism without being a Jerkass by acknowledging the hard work and talent demonstrated in creative projects.

Todd in the Shadows started out like this. In his list of the worst hit songs of 2022, he noted that he'd mellowed out over the years to the point that he considered retiring his year-end worst list, only to see a music critic who he once respected for his caustic reviews reduced to writing clickbait for Rolling Stone's Twitter account, causing him to stick to it out of tradition and spite.

John Taffer of Bar Rescue has careened into this territory. Early seasons dealt much more with the "bar science" aspect of the show, with Taffer explaining more or less calmly how particular decisions the bar owners made negatively affected the business and how hi changes resolved the issue. Later seasons devolved into Taffer screaming into the faces of owners over even the most trivial of problems.

Top Gear does this, particularly the modern incarnation and to older cars. Jeremy Clarkson has related a story about car manufacturers getting angry and retaliating by threatening to "take all our advertising off The BBC". The BBC doesn't have any advertising. For example, Jeremy Clarkson (and presumably the rest of the Top Gear team) passionately hates the Toyota Prius and went out of his way to prove how absolutely terrible the car was in every way (including the obvious, but even fuel efficiency).

Amphibia: Albus Duckweed is the Wartwood newspaper’s restaurant critic, and takes a particularly sadistic glee in writing scathing reviews of local restaurants to drive them out of business. In “Lily Pad Thai�, he shows up at Stumpy’s Diner to leave one of his usual negative reviews. While Stumpy’s become too jaded to care, Anne, herself the daughter of restaurant owners, demands a chance to earn a better review. In her effort to impress the critic, she prepares a meal that turns out to still be alive, which nearly kills the critic; however, Duckweed finds the experience to be so avant-garde that he gives the place his best review ever.

Troy from Blogger Beware reviews the Goosebumps books. He... doesn't like many of them. The blog started out as an affectionate nostalgia site, as evidenced by the first few, relatively sedate reviews until Troy realized how bad most of the series is upon re-reading it as an adult. He was particularly infuriated by the Series 2000 books, which he didn't read as a child.

Dark Lord Jadow 1 on YouTube mostly reviews bad games, but will review a good game on occasion—usually when he wants to highlight a game that's not well known. His negative reviews vary in how caustic they are, depending on how badly they personally piss him off.

Sonty Mick from These Web Comics Are So Bad is a Stealth Parody of caustic critics, particularly of John Solomon's Your Webcomic Is Bad and You Should Feel Bad. Sonty dislikes everything he reads, and he has completely illogical reasons for every single one.

The Distressed Watcher, a former contributor, is even more of a caustic critic than anybody on the website, covering trailers specifically. Also known as The Amazing Atheist, he has made a number of caustic videos on religion and politics on YouTube.

Alice (1976): An early episode, "The Last Review", sees a newspaper restaurant critic with a nasty reputation review Mel's chili, making none-too-flattering comments about the diner, the service he receives, Mel's crusty character, et cetera... only to suddenly become ill and then non-responsive at his table shortly after finishing his meal. EMTs pronounce the critic dead at the table; after his body is removed, Mel worries that it was his food that caused the critic's sudden illness and that he'll surely face a lawsuit by his family and forced to close. Good news: Alice later gets a call regarding the autopsy saying that the critic had a congenital heart defect, and it was a sudden heart attack that killed him — Mel's cooking had nothing to do with it.

The Music Video Show is also this. The show is where one girl reviews one music video a week, points out the flaws in the video and, occasionally, the lyrics. In the end, she states whether or not she would watch it again.

The Cat Who... Series: Book #1 (The Cat Who Could Read Backwards) features the art critic Mountclemens, who is very much this. He has managed to offend just about everyone on the art scene in town except for a select few artists he's propping up, but is kept because his columns draw huge readership. His targets include a wealthy donor whose work he describes as "drugstore art". Of a sweet old butcher called "Uncle Waldo", he comments that "age is no substitute for talent". He also targets private collectors who are "less dedicated to art preservation than tax avoidance". Even his full name, George Bonifield Mountclemens III, pisses off some people, as it must be set line-by-line in the type on his byline and he insists on no abbreviations.note The book was written in the 1960s when all of this still had to be done by hand.

Cyrano de Bergerac: Cyrano critiques your artistic work without any pity, and given the play is a Period Piece, Cyrano is always right in his critiques: Montfleury was a "An actor villainous!" (and then Cyrano kicks him out the theater), les Précieuses could "Inspire our verse, but—criticise it not!", playwright Baró’s "verses are not worth a doit! I'm glad to interrupt" (Baró’s play). Cardenal Richelieu (famous politician, wrote plays as a hobby) "is an author. 'Twill not fail to please him that I should mar a brother-author's play". Cyrano also is fair, of his own talent he thinks: "Not to mount high" and about Molière, Cyrano thinks he’s a "genius".

Jay Sherman of The Critic, whose catchphrase is "It stinks!" (Although most of what he was reviewing really did look absolutely terrible.) In one early episode, a little girl gets mad at him because he didn't like The Lion King, and in another, he mentioned that the highest rating he gives a movie is 7 out of 10.

Frasier: An early episode is called "I Hate Frasier Crane", and details Frasier learning a Seattle columnist has written a scathing review of his show (along with a side-attack on Roz while he's there). Frasier being Frasier, he decides to respond with an attack on the critic on air. Then it turns out the critic is listening in, and he challenges Frasier to a fight.

Penn & Teller: Bullshit!: The show looks at people like mediums, the war on porn, anti-video game crusaders, people who are hoaxes scammers and liars, PETA and the like and viciously tear down and tear apart those they think are frauds, extremists and dangerous. The more sensitive and important the issue is to them, the more personal they get in the name of entertainment: certain issues such as chiropractic surgery on children makes Penn legitimately upset and calmly states how wrong it is.

In the last novel of the Babylon 5 Psi-Corps Trilogy, Bester, now a wanted war criminal, ends up in Paris and gets a job as a literary critic, who makes a point of never giving a positive review to anyone. After Garibaldi tracks him down to Paris by tracking purchases of a medication that treats a telepath-only condition, he identifies "Claude Kaufmann" as Bester when he recognizes Bester's particular style of insults in the reviews (one notable quote being "The plot is revealed on a need-to-know basis. You don't need to know.")

Bennett the Sage, who reviews anime from the 80s and 90s on Anime Abandon, savagely dissecting the bad and pointing out the flaws in the good. He also lampshades the negative reactions of fans when he professes his dislike of popular titles such as Perfect Blue or Grave of the Fireflies. Later on, however, he moved the show in the direction of analysis and dissection rather than pure criticism, and even talked a bit in some videos about how one eventually hits a creative wall when it comes to just crapping on bad stuff.

Dr. Terror's House of Horrors has a very thought-provoking story that *ahem* criticizes critics who are more concerned with impressing others with their bitter wit, rather than doing any objective evaluation of an artist's work. Christopher Lee plays the main character who embodies this to the extreme and completely tears apart and degrades a painter's work, until the painter humbles him by making him review another piece of incomprehensible art which the critic compares favourably to the painter's work for its taste and quality... and then sees that the creator was a chimp. He doesn't respond well to being on the receiving end of criticism...

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: The food critic Tommy Flayton shows up for a Sidequest where the Player Character must convince him to give a restaurant a bad review. Despite — or perhaps because of — his insufferable pretension, he's quite easy to manipulate, even just by insinuating that he's going soft. The game gives you no end of ways to screw with him, just for kicks - everything from convincing him he's eating maggots to, if you're playing as a Nosferatu, walking up and introducing yourself as the chef.

In The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong, Shen Yuan was a self-proclaimed "anti-fan" of the trashy webnovel series Proud Immortal Demon Way and constantly posted scathing teardowns online of the series' bad writing and plot holes. Then he meets with the ironic fate of being transmigrated into the very webnovel he so vocally denounced.

Blair Daniels, from Sunday in the Park with George, is an subversion of this trope. She does offer some unpleasant comments about George's latest Chromolume—largely that he's stagnating by repeatedly doing the same thing—but she's also knowledgeable about art (it's mentioned that she's written "a piece on Neo-Expressionism"), has supported George in the past, and makes it clear that she sees potential in the young artist—if he was simply bad, she wouldn't bother with him at all. George ends up agreeing with her remarks.
