*cue Luigi Boccherini's "Minuetto"*And now it's time for a trope description, with Chester A. Bum. Tonight's page... "Bum Reviews".note OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE GREATEST TV TROPES PAGE I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFE!Chester is a homeless guy who reviews current movies on Channel Awesome. Since he's just happy to be in a warm building while seeing them, he likes almost every movie he sees.This character was partly inspired by Doug Walker's first video review of Transformers (2007), where he acted very enthusiastic, and by Doug's silly voice in his review of Cloverfield.Doug usually lets the viewer know his real opinions on the movies. Older episodes had a "Seriously..." message on the ending card, while newer episodes are each accompanied with a separate review vlog where he can go into more detail. This became the basis for a new webshow called Sibling Rivalry, where he and his brother Rob will discuss the movie (if Rob has seen it).The theme music is Minuet in A Major by Boccherini in a parody of Masterpiece Theatre. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Fittingly at the end of Deadpool, as, while talking to the camera, he complains that talking to the camera makes it obvious that you're a fictional character, and Doug takes off the hat and declares no ending because he has a lot of Critic-related work to do. | |

Captain Ersatz: Lester B. Bum , Spencer D. Bum, Aleister D. Homelesssb’sterrd, Huebert J. Flank and at least two unnamed ones. There's also Pester, who died of alcohol poisoning in his first appearance; the Cinema Bum, who rather than review a movie, lamented the fact he didn't have a job or home; and Ted the Bum, who... has nothing whatsoever to do with film reviews. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Not that he doesn't have lots of nice moments too, but he used his "innocent harmless bum" persona in a plan to destroy the world (and succeeded as well!), took money from a church and wibbled at Nash to convince him not to tell Holly, always defends the Critic but also acts like the voice for his entitled fans, and tries to steal things at cons. | |

The Stinger | |
| Bum Reviews (Web Video) / int_48081842 | comment |
The Stinger: Chester always adds an extra punchline about the movie into his calls for "CHAAAAANGE!" at the end of the videos. The end credits had a written stinger too (in which Doug Walker gave a one-sentence summary of how he actually about the movie, always starting with "Seriously, though..."), but that's been replaced by a separate and longer "Doug's Review" video that runs below the Bum Review. | |

Credits Gag | |
| Bum Reviews (Web Video) / int_4af55b78 | comment |
Credits Gag: For the first four years, the episode's end credits would contain a small comment that always begins, "Seriously," that outlines what Doug really thought of the movie. That blurb was eventually dropped for a complete second video outlining what Doug really thought of the movie. That series morphed into Sibling Rivalry in late 2012, where Doug would bounce his opinions off his brother Rob, who'd give his own opinion. | |

Deconstruction: Briefly in Critic's review of Christmas Story II, as instead of reviewing a movie clearly indoors, he's sitting outside the studio with his change cup, and trades his coat for a cigarette, obviously freezing but thinking he made the right choice. Also in the Force Awakens trailer video, putting him next to Brad's more hopeless bum and having him go on about how great the film is while Cinema Bum is too hungry to care. | |

Wham Episode: Secondhand. The Dark Knight was so great that it left a huge impression on him. Such that at the end of it he just told us, "You know what? Keep the change." Similarly, The Avengers had Doug briefly break character to emphasize that Chester isn't just doing his typical gushing and that it's really that good. Wreck-It Ralph for Character Development reasons. Seeing Chester cry real tears over being self-loathing is not a fun experience. | |

He acts In the Style of a more traditional film critic... until That Guy With The Glasses steals his corncob pipe back from him. In the Transformers III Bum/Critic review, he realizes that Critic is conning people, he just hasn't figured out exactly how. At the end of Critic's Dreamcatcher review, he goes on a rant about how shittily mentally ill people like him are treated, even by other ill people like Critic. | |

At the end of Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2, even he felt dirty touching a Chick-Fil-A cup after bashing them for their anti-gay policies. In the Fifty Shades of Grey review, he compares Christian buying (unsafe) BDSM tools in a hardware store to (the many) creepy wannabe dom guys on tumblr.

Hypocritical Humor: Chester comments on Family Guy stealing one of his jokes. In the process, he steals "Screw you guys, I'm going home" from South Park and the ending scene with the lawyer is a direct ripoff of the ending of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. He rants at the end about how distracting it is that Deadpool constantly breaks the fourth wall, as it shatters the illusion of reality that most fictional works try to achieve. Putting aside the fact that his schtick requires him to talk directly into a camera, he ends the interview with Doug Walker not only breaking character, but switching into his Nostalgia Critic persona almost mid-sentence. He claims he doesn't swear because he's a Mormon. Of course, Mormons aren't supposed to drink or do drugs either. | |

Ambiguously Bi: He'll comment on a woman's attractiveness in a movie without fail, but he did make out with Lester and the “conquering Canada� video confirmed that that he's willing to sleep with men if they give him money or a warm place to stay. | |

After Critic dies and he gets more depressed, he makes friends with Donnie and is actually happy talking to him. Well... you know how bad Donnie's ending was. To make things worse, Critic came back and now treats Chester like crap when he'd actually looked after him in the past. | |

Miley was mocked earlier in Ender's Game, when he says if there was an award for child star dancing sluttily in a contest, she'd win. Plus he bitches at a male child actor who “will have to slut himself up at 18�, and calls it a child actor law. | |

"I used to be/had a (something relevant to the movie) once!" "You know, for a smart guy I'm pretty dumb/stupid" "And at the end they play the famous theme song! *sings said theme song with added lyrics*" "This is Chester A. Bum saying... CHANGE!!

Hype Backlash: In-universe example. The Bum actually gave a negative review to Citizen Kane, and this was one of the reasons.

A lot of his criticisms towards District 9 was disagreeing with the movie being as ground breaking as people made it out to be. | |

Expy: The first Nostalgia Critic video was actually the Critic acting like the future Chester A. Bum doing Transformers (2007). This is given a nod with the Critic doing Revenge of the Fallen, and Bum popping up after he leaves, asking if the Critic stole his act.) Not to mention this being brought to its logical conclusion with the Dark of the Moon review when right at the start of the Critic's review, he gets a letter informing him that Chester's suing him for stealing his act (in case you're curious, there IS a review... of Chester's when the judge asks how he'd review it). | |

| Bum Reviews (Web Video) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While reviewing The Avengers, Doug literally breaks character, takes off the fright wig, and says in a serious tone how wonderful the movie is. And he does it again at the end to make sure you know to go see it. A few years earlier, Doug didn't break character for it, but Chester himself is stunned into reverent near-silence by The Dark Knight. In his review for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, he rushes through his usual catchphrase and goes into just how weird the movie is. Subverted in his Citizen Kane review. Chester was unusually serious throughout, going on and on about how he thought the film was crap and everyone who calls it "the greatest movie ever made" is an idiot. Of course, that was the whole joke of the review, and Doug himself likes the film. He spends a lot of time calling out on the flaws of them in a much snarkier way than he usually does. | |

Comically Missing the Point: All this time, Chester was wishing on stars to help him out, and it turns out he needs to work hard, even get a job. Then he says perhaps he should wish on a star for that. | |
