Crash Thompson (formerly known as The Rock Critic) is a YouTube music review and comedy channel, running since August 2012.As the channel's original name implies, it mainly focused on rock music, as well as adjacent genres such as metal, alternative, and the occasional foray into pop (provided the artist in question either has or at some point in their career has had some sort of rock influence), but that rule has since become null by the time he dropped The Rock Critic persona in favor of reviewing albums of all genres. The channel consists of full-length videos that delve into a specific album by a notable rock band - usually one that stands out sharply from the band's other output in some way, be it in sound or critical reception - in detail, lengthy retrospectives that cover the entire careers of bands across multiple full-length videos (The Rise And Fall Of Weezer and the Green Day Retrospective), "Quickies" which were shorter videos that cover then-recently released albums with Crash talking over footage of the band in question accompanied by brief visual gags , year-end lists of the best and worst albums of the preceding year, other series like Bad Album Covers and I Love This Song / I Hate This Song, all three of which are pretty self-explanatory, and a smattering of livestreams, Q&A videos, and subscriber specials, the three of which often overlap. However, he has since retired the "Quickies"/new release reviews for a number of reasons (specifically, mental health issues and not having enough time to fully form an opinion on an album by the time it just recently gets released).He also previously had a second series called Game & Crash (formerly hosted on its own second channel before being moved to the main channel for the remainder of its run) wherein he talks about video games.He is one of the four online music critics making up the Rock Coliseum collective, alongside ringleader Luke Spencer of Rocked, Mark Grondin of Spectrum Pulse, and Jon Compton of ARTV, who do a regular livestream game of voting bands and albums selected by the chat to “live� or “die� (the latter in some creative and thematically ironic way) in a coliseum setting, as well as doing podcasts and attending events such as music festival Sonic Temple together.He's also one of the original four commentators behind One Crazy Weekend, a wrestling podcast chronicling the many, many wrestling shows that occurred over Wrestlemania weekend of 2019, but had to leave the podcast due to scheduling conflicts.His channel can be found here, and his Twitter here. | |

Tempting Fate: In "CURSE of the Best New Artist (1995-1999)", when covering 1998's Best New Artist nominations, Crash notes that that year was the first year Gangsta Rap got some real representation in that category, and hopes that someone good will carry the torch... only for it to end up being Puff Daddy, with Crash facepalming and proclaiming "Fuck you, Grammys. Just, just fuck you". | |

The Cameo | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: In Bad Album Covers, Vol. 2, Luke Spencer, the Horror Guru, and Yomarz appear on a brief game show sketch to earn points by thinking up many dick innuendos in twenty seconds for an album cover with the title 'My Lips Are For Blowing'. Crash calls up Satanic Jackula on Skype in Bad Album Covers, Vol. 3 to make fun of how his face paint matches the face paint of a band in a bad album cover. Satanic Jackula interrupts Crash's Metal Gear Solid parody, calling him on the 'Codec', to complain to him about sending over a package of exploding gorilla shit. While Crash coyly denies he sent it, Satanic Jackula knows he did because the package has a giant note written in crayon that says 'SAIYANS RULE! WEIRD SKULLFACE GUYS DROOL', with a badly drawn crayon cartoon of Crash as a Super Saiyan and Satanic Jackula's face behind a circle-backslash symbol. Satanic Jackula appears again briefly, frustrated that he missed the Great Snatch. Finally, Count Jackula himself appears to avenge Satanic Jackula by using Satanic magic to drop multiple anvils on top of Crash's head, even more so after Crash goes Super Saiyan. The Horror Guru sent a missile after Crash in his video review of Red Hot Chili Peppers' One Hot Minute album, because he didn't give a good review to Five Finger Death Punch's album, Got Your Six. Apparently in the same review, Guru sent another missile to Luke Spencer for the exact same reason. Unfortunately, Crash was too late when he called to warn him. Then Il Neige, ARTV, Mark of Spin It! Reviews, Some Jerk with a Camera, Calluna, and Lil' D.Va appear in the review to work out the meaning of the confusing 'I Am You Are Me' verse of Red Hot Chili Peppers' One Big Mob song along with Crash. Jerk's cameo ends when the missile Crash knocked back with a baseball bat ends up temporarily destroying Disneyland. Jerk returns to call Crash to ask him what he did to the missile, not mentioning Disneyland temporarily (though seemingly permanently) turning into a fiery post-apocalyptic version of itself because of it. In the first episode of The Green Day Retrospective, ARTV appeared to throw rocks at Crash and make him build up Dookie because it's Crash's job and it has already taken Crash too long to get the retrospective started while it only took ARTV two months to review Green Day's entire discography. Some Jerk with a Camera then appears, confused and infuriated that Green Day would turn down a free trip to Disneyland by a record label. Jerk silently grew angrier as Crash admitted he would turn down free Disneyland as well and would rather go to Universal Studios. The Dom appears in QUICKIES!: Catch-Up Quickie #8 - Gotta Ketch 'Em Up to stop Crash's bad fake British accent. In the second episode of the Green Day Retrospective, Lil' D.Va called up Diamanda Hagan on Skype to ask her if she knows anyone who can kill a Saiyan and then explains to Hagan why she needs Crash to be dead. There's plenty on the third episode of the Green Day Retrospective. Because of a hysterical fit induced figuratively and literally by ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, Crash calls up The Dom and Calluna to tell them they have more subscribers than ¡Tré! sold on its opening week. They notice something is wrong with him and make a few phone calls. They got Crash's friend Nathaniel to give him some advice. After recovering from his depressed state, he fights the eldritch abomination/amalgamation of the living albums (voiced by Il Neige), alongside Lil' D.Va, Nathaniel, and Conner and Lucas from the Geekery Collective. When they failed, Crash creates a Spite Bomb made from the negative energy of numerous submitted cameos of both fans and reviewers, including reviewers The Happy Spaceman, Rosen Hacker, and Magnetrex. Crash's Top Ten Worst Pitchfork Reviews has cameos from Mark of Spectrum Pulse, Luke of Rocked Reviews and viralrak, respectively covering the fourth, third and second entries on the list. | |

Interrupted by the End | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_1c404c3e | comment |
Interrupted by the End: At the end of the I Hate This Song Episode for "Poets" by The Tragically Hip, Crash plays a clip of the Hip's guest appearance on Corner Gas, which starred Canadian comedian and actor Brent Butt. Crash then starts snickering (a la Beavis And Butthead) at Butt's last name, and then says "I have to think of something more clever, I can't end the video like thi-" before getting cut off by a title card that reads "The End". | |

Broke the Rating Scale | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_24fbee90 | comment |
Broke the Rating Scale: Every available category, up to and including Refusal To Rate. Hitting the limit: A few albums have ranked 0.5/5, suggesting there was a possible 0, but no album was ranked so lowly—until his Worst Of 2019. There, in a fearsome "The Reason You Suck" Speech, he gave his first 0/5 to the Nostalgia Critic's parody of The Wall. Out of bounds: Played for Laughs in the Attitude City review, where he gives it a billion out of five (the actual rating was a four out of five) Meaningless Comparison: Quite often in his reviews, including fire extinguishers for In Flames, Lisa Frank folders for 5 Seconds of Summer'', and dead memes for tool. Meaningless Value "One More Light gets COMPLETE FUCKING DARKNESS...out of 5!" Crash gives The Terror by the Flaming Lips a "zibbledygorp out of zook". Also: in his 2020 Quarter 1 FIMI, he rated Mixing Colors by Roger Eno and Brian Eno as "Zzz/5" In his Quarter 2 FIMI, he rated Yum Yum's Lure by Insane Clown Posse with "Drink Faygo/Eat Shit/Be Crimes/Forever". Impossible To Rate: In his 2020 Quarter 3 FIMI, he reacted to Will Woods' The Normal Album with "Huh?/5" Refusal To Rate: In his 2020 Quarter 2 FIMI, he flat-out refused to review Goodness, Gracious by Back Up Kid on the grounds that Back Up Kid wasn't a professional musician and was too small an act to subject to scrutiny. Crash then expressed his annoyance and even anger at people who requested reviews for hobbyists and musicians who just wanted to have fun, and stated that acts had to at least have 400 monthly viewers on Spotify to be reviewed. Otherwise, he'd veto the request. He then stated he did enjoy the album and gave Back Up Kid some encouragement. | |

Persona Non Grata | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_26852e3d | comment |
Eventually, once Vektor ended up being put in the Bin in light of DiSanto's domestic abuse allegations, Crash mentioned that even regardless of the allegations, DiSanto's voice was already a "medical issue" for him to begin with so he had no reason to even want to care about them anymore. | |

Don't Shoot the Message | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_2f1bddff | comment |
Don't Shoot the Message: A bizarre, In-Universe variant occurs in his 'Top 10 Worst Pitchfork Reviews', discussing their original 2000 review of Kid A by Radiohead. While Crash absolutely believes the album is a '10 out of 10' like the review claims, the bewildering, often incoherent, excessive, and unsettling way the review discusses the album (one notable passage compares the experience to a stillborn child) almost manages to make the album seem unappealing. | |

Cluster F-Bomb | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_35a858b3 | comment |
Cluster F-Bomb: Crash is known to be quite the colorful curser. He has once confirmed in a TikTok that his reason why he swears so much in his videos is to "make up for lost time" since he was raised in a Christian household where all forms of cursing were banned, with the ultimate exception of the "F-word" (no, not "fuck," the other one). He also joked in the video that that rule became an ironic turn of events in light of him eventually coming out as bisexual. | |

Person of Mass Destruction | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_36c94bed | comment |
Turns out Lil' D.Va was from the future, sent to the past by the South Korean armed forces to stop Indianapolis from blowing up later in 2017. According to Lil' D.Va, the aftermath of the explosion will destroy the country and then eventually the world. Lil' D.Va only estimated Crash will be the cause since his Super Saiyan mode in his review of Raditude actually destroyed an entire city block, and it's more than likely that a bigger reaction to Green Day's worst albums will cause The End of the World as We Know It. But she was actually wrong, Crash wasn't exactly the cause. He wasn't powerful enough, even at his strongest, to destroy the world. | |

Story Arc | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_42008602 | comment |
Story Arc: Starts at the end of the first episode of the Green Day Retrospective, and ends with the third episode: Turns out Lil' D.Va was from the future, sent to the past by the South Korean armed forces to stop Indianapolis from blowing up later in 2017. According to Lil' D.Va, the aftermath of the explosion will destroy the country and then eventually the world. Lil' D.Va only estimated Crash will be the cause since his Super Saiyan mode in his review of Raditude actually destroyed an entire city block, and it's more than likely that a bigger reaction to Green Day's worst albums will cause The End of the World as We Know It. But she was actually wrong, Crash wasn't exactly the cause. He wasn't powerful enough, even at his strongest, to destroy the world. It turns out that the living albums, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, were behind it all. They were using Crash as a conduit to drain power from him while he talks about them, in order to be capable of regeneration and destroy the world to rebuild it in their image. Crash didn't fight them straight away alongside Lil' Diva because he was in a depressed state and unable to care, instead he left. After he recovered, he fights an eldritch tentacled fusion of the living albums with his Saiyan powers, alongside Lil' D.Va in a mech, his friend Nathaniel with a baseball, and Conner and Lucas from The Geekery Collective (both have light sabers, additionally Conner has a sword and Lucas has an axe). When they failed, after an unseen fight with kung-fu, light saber battles, explosions, and fire breathing hookers, Lil' D.Va, Nathaniel, Conner, and Lucas stall the albums. Crash flies up and summons a Spite Bomb from the negative energy of people pissed off at the mediocrity of the albums. He drops it down on the albums, but he ran out of energy to ignite the bomb and destroy the albums. Until Lil' D.Va flies in and crashes into the albums. She ignited the bomb with her ultimate and destroyed the albums, thus preventing the apocalypse and completing her mission. | |

| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_55a5d1e0 | comment |
Vocal Range Exceeded: In the St. Anger video, Crash complains about James Hetfield's attempts to sing out of his range (particularly on "Frantic"). He compares it to when he (Crash) tries to sing a song by The Used. Cue a Cutaway Gag where Crash is trying to sing "Buried Myself Alive" while making dinner; when he reaches the high scream in the chorus, the resulting scream is so loud and discordant that he falls to the floor. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: In the Dishonorable Mentions section of "The Top 10 Worst Pitchfork Reviews", Crash mentions their review of Jet's Shine On, which features a link to a YouTube video of a monkey urinating in its own mouth. The only reason he gives it a dishonorable mention is because... "they're not wrong". Similarly, when discussing Jason Josephes' review of Zaireeka by the Flaming Lips, Crash does concede that the album's format (four CDs that have to be played at the same time on four individual CD players) is a demanding ask for an album, and that it can negatively affect the album's score. However, he then goes on to criticize Josephes for giving the album a 0.0 after Josephes stated in the review that he did not even attempt to play all four CDs at once; Crash also criticizes Josephes for taking "unnecessary potshots" at the Flaming Lips fanbase, particularly after reading a line stating that Flaming Lips fans spend their money on "inhalants and detox". | |

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: During his I Love This Song episode on "The Bad Touch" by Bloodhound Gang, to show the audience how insipid the band's music is, he lists several of their song titles, including "The Evils of Placenta Hustling", "Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny", and "Diarrhea... It Runs in the Family". A caption appears on screen, stating: "These are all REAL Bloodhound Gang songs". Also happens in Top 10 Worst Rock Hits of 1990, where Crash lists off several bands that sound fake (Diving for Pearls, Lord Tracy, Havana Black, Little Caesar, Sleeze Beez, and The Hooters) but were actually real bands that had success on the rock charts in the 1990s. | |

Curse Cut Short: In Top 10 Worst Pitchfork Reviews, Crash lists off several examples of Pitchfork giving punk albums low scores, including The Process of Belief by Bad Religion. When he sees it, he stops, zooms in on the score... and then shows the album cover on his backdrop... and then shows that he had the cover tattooed on his right arm. He then screams, "OH, YOU MOTHERF-!!!!!" Happens again a few minutes later, where the reviewer describes a snare drum as "self-righteous"; | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Most notably near the end of his Top 10 Best Nu-Metal Bands video, delivered directly to his "past self" and indirectly to the genre itself: This was immediately counteracted by his past self, which his present self took to heart and in turn delivered a more optimistic Rousing Speech to close out the episode. He ends his review of The Order Of Things with one of these directed at frontman Philip Labonte, which turns out to be lyrics from the next album he's about to review, Sturm Und Drang. His video on the Top 10 worst Pitchfork reviews has Crash unloading on the website's snobbish elitism after a bitter, nonsensical review of Lateralus: An opus-length speech comprises the entirety of the number 1 entry for Crash's worst album of 2019, directed at The Nostalgia Critic and his musical review of The Wall. It gets vitriolic enough to (at least narratively) spur on Crash dropping the "Rock Critic" branding at the end. Gives one to Five Finger Death Punch for their music video of "Living the Dream" in his Top 10 Worst Albums of 2020 video, criticizing them for taking off their masks in the video and possibly causing the deaths of Americans from the coronavirus with the music video. | |

I Hate Past Me | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_98160158 | comment |
I Hate Past Me: First invoked in the "Rise And Fall Of Weezer" episode on Make Believe, where he shudders at his past self's fandom of Seether after flashing back to his college days. Said past incarnation of Crash and his quintessentially 2000's "angsty" taste in fashion and music would become a recurring theme on the channel, coming to a head when Past Crash would travel to the present and this trope would be a central plot point of "Top 10 Best Nu-Metal Bands". In the "How To Get Into Bad Religion" episode, he brings up his old Into the Unknown review where he delivers this line about how cringe-worthy and dated the jokes in his old reviews used to be (and briefly averts The Bin as a result): This was also discussed in a TikTok he made when asked which one of his old Rock Critic videos he felt was his best, and which one he felt was his worst. The one he enjoyed the most went to "Top 10 Best Nu-Metal Bands," as he thought that, as cringeworthy as the storylines and skits may be, he thought that they actually did add to the review, even though he was admitting there were questionable takes he made here and there (namely, that he put Taproot on there, let alone putting them above Slipknot). The worst, he felt, was "The Rise and Fall of Weezer" series, as he thought they no longer reflected how he feels about Weezer (see Tear-jerker) and how the dated humor and emphasis on skits and storylines were a little "Channel Awesome-y" in places, so much so that he even tried deleting the whole series from his channel at times. | |

Production Foreshadowing | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_9eca61c8 | comment |
Production Foreshadowing: Quite a lot of brief foreshadowing for his Games & Crash spinoff channel and the Green Day Retrospective in his One Hot Minute review. Crash also foreshadows the Green Day Retrospective in his 2k Subscriber Special (see Freeze-Frame Bonus). Within the Green Day Retrospective itself, Crash complains about Pitchfork's antagonistically contrarian reviews in Pt. 1, foreshadowing the Top 10 Worst Pitchfork Reviews video. In the review for Into the Unknown by Bad Religion, Crash references the (unrelated) Godsmack song "Bad Religion", which he despises; he made an I Hate This Song episode about the song "Bad Religion" four years later. Crash later said in the commentary track for ''Into the Unknown" that he had been planning to do the episode since 2016, but the idea got stuck in Development Hell. In the How To Get Into The Tragically Hip episode, Crash briefly talks about how mainstream rock was in a particularly bad headspace in the years before the Grunge and Alternative Rock explosion, particularly the year 1990. Two years later, Crash would release Top 10 Worst Hits of 1990. | |

It's Personal | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_a0db7803 | comment |
It's Personal: When it comes to the end of Hurley off The Rise and Fall of Weezer, Crash makes it clear the reason he reviewed the albums up to this point was because of how disappointed he was at Weezer becoming a shell of it's former self and not even with Hurley's okay reception was redeeming a band he once loved dearly. In "Top Ten Worst Pitchfork Reviews", Crash states that he plans to be as neutral and objective as possible, but then breaks his rule twice - once for So Jealous by Tegan & Sara, and again for 9 by Damien Rice. In his review/breakdown of One Hot Minute, one of the reasons that Crash feels obligated to defend the album is because he endured a miserable childhood in a fundamentalist Christian household, and the song "Shallow Be Thy Game" (which criticizes organized religion) brought him "a lot of comfort and reassurance in what I would call one of my darkest times". | |

Sensory Abuse: Both referenced and invoked in his review of Terminal Redux. Crash's biggest gripe with the album comes from David DiSanto's vocal style, and he illustrates this with a high-pitched whine during the review. Eventually, once Vektor ended up being put in the Bin in light of DiSanto's domestic abuse allegations, Crash mentioned that even regardless of the allegations, DiSanto's voice was already a "medical issue" for him to begin with so he had no reason to even want to care about them anymore. | |

Significant Wardrobe Shift | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_affc0c98 | comment |
Significant Wardrobe Shift: At the end of his Best And Worst Albums of 2015 video, Crash retired his fedora he'd been wearing since the start of the channel, to be replaced by a black beanie, along with a denim vest with band buttons and patches. Crash hated the fedora for years and wishes he'd made the change a lot sooner. Following the "WE'RE REBRANDING" video, Crash discusses how he was also dropping the denims vest as well, stating that the current lighting he uses for videos makes using it rather difficult due to the heat. | |

Viewer Pronunciation Confusion: invoked Sometimes struggles with the pronunciations of particularly foreign or oddly spelled names of bands and band members, more often than not leading him to apologize for any mispronunciations. | |

Content Warnings: Appears occasionally at the beginning of his videos, including the How to Get Into Pearl Jam episode (which discusses suicide, self-harm, violence, and interpersonal abuse) and the I Love This Song episode for "Poker Face" (which includes references to slurs and violence against LGBTQ+ people, flashing strobe lights in the footage of Gaga's performances, and a brief mention of sexual abuse when he compares how "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry doesn't hold up as well as "Poker Face", mainly due to the ick factor of how disgraced producer Dr. Luke co-wrote the song). | |

A Good Name for a Rock Band: In-Universe. During the "Green Day Retrospective", while discussing their first live album, Bullet in a Bible, Crash remarks that "Bullet in a Bible" would have been a great name for a band (let alone an album), and that he would have gladly used it if Green Day hadn't claimed it first. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Crash Thompson (Web Video) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Mainly to memes. The entire first few minutes of "Green Day Retrospective: Part 2" has Li'l D.Va doing a beat-for-beat reinterpretation of The Filthy Frank Show as a cover for an attempt to assassinate Crash before he destroys the city. Tends to occasionally pronounce the word "Dick" as "D'yuck", such as in his review of A Moon-Shaped Pool. In the Danzig Sings Elvis review, Crash introduces himself with "Hey-oh, people, I'm Crash Thompson, and welcome... to my nightmare." When lamenting the fall from grace of Pale Waves' second album, Crash changes location and sings "The Crash Wrong Song". | |

Anything but That!: In the pilot episode, Crash hears a distant, familiar detuned guitar riff coming from his vinyl collection, and he goes in to investigate. He looks through his records to find that the music is coming from a CD: St. Anger by Metallica. The CD knocks him to the floor and starts bearing down on his face, and Crash screams, "No, not you! Anything but you!!" | |
