What We Had to Watch is a video review series written by and starring Garrett Snook, aka Il Neige (formerly DJ Il Neige), who reviews mediocre movies of the last 10-20 years, generally movies kids of the 00’s would have grown up with, as opposed to the Internet’s usual fixation on nostalgic 80’s and 90’s media. Citing influences from various current and former contributors of Channel Awesome, Il Neige takes them down with a good sense of humor and dry commentary along the way. You can also watch his work on Geekvision and The Agony Booth.His YouTube page, containing mirror uploads of many of his older reviews, as well as a few Vlog videos, can be found here. He was added as a producer to Channel Awesome during their talent search in 2014, then left the site in April 2018. He has also set up his own Vidme account.Though he didn't upload a proper review in a few years for the series, Neige official ended the series in mid-2019, announcing he was just going to focus on his music parodies. | |

The Cameo | |
| What We Had to Watch (Web Video) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: He did one in the crossover of The Rap Critic and Marc Mues. He also has a small role in the The Legend of Zelda fan film The Sage of Darkness, where he plays Link's father. He appears in Episode 6 of The Reviewaverse Saga, leading the "Topia Wing" in the battle against GEAR. He has a recurring guest role on Some Jerk with a Camera, alongside The Wire and Spazzmaster. He also makes a cameo in The Unusual Suspect's reviews of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Phantom Menace, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| What We Had to Watch (Web Video) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: A few. Initially, he called himself "DJ Il Neige," which was a reference to how he wanted to review musicals. However, when he realized that wouldn't leave him with a lot of films to review, he dropped that part of his act. In 2013, Neige made an announcement video after his Pokemon Movie 3 review talking about plans he had for "Season 2," naming several movies he had in the works to do reviews on (including the third Twilight film, Dragonball Evolution, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). He then cancelled these plans at some point after due to how his real life schedule had overtaken his ability and want to write, shoot, and edit said reviews due to having graduated college and got a job in video editing, as well as his real life musical career still being a thing. He subsequently did his Pokemonth reviews and reviews of the first Spongebob movie that was teased a few times in previous reviews, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (the original theatrical release), and a defense video of Dragonball Evolution (one of the movies he promised to review as part of "season 2" years prior) before hanging it all up in 2019 to focus primarily on his song parodies. Although, he also promised to do a video on the later editions of Advent Children at the end of that video that never came to fruition for some reason. His joining of Channel Awesome in 2015 seemed to signal he'd be doing more regular reviews again, but he didn't produce a lot of them afterwards. And after the #ChangeTheChannel controversy in 2018 cause him and many other reviewers on the site to leave, this didn't come to fruition. | |

Poe's Law | |
| What We Had to Watch (Web Video) / int_3950c1f0 | comment |
Poe's Law: His Nintendo Song is meant to be a satire of people who deride Nintendo for being samey, yet absolutely praise certain non-Nintendo franchises that do the exact same thing, but worse. That said, there were some who didn't get the joke. | |

Dull Surprise: In his own review of the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) movie, he points out that even the bad acting from high guardswoman with the "armor nipples of doom" can't top Thora Birch as the Empress. Later pariodied in his April Fool's Day video, where the character goes through an identity crisis and a split personality tries to give Il Neige a Hannibal Lecture about his "lack of originality," but thankfully, Il Neige does snap out of his Heroic BSoD. | |

Anytime the characters pull off some crazy stunt, he yells, "EXTREME!!!" to a guitar riff. | |
