    I’ve never heard of this guy in my life and now I’m non-stop seeing memes about him. Did something happen with him recently?

      Not sure which you are referring to, but they’ve both been around as creators on YouTube forever. They are both still actively making content. I’m not sure what memes you’re seeing, but maybe you’re just coming across communities with people that grew up watching this stuff more now. AVGN started in 2004 and Nostalgia Critic in 2007 so there’s a long history out there.

      The only thing i know him by is his absolutely awful take on “The Wall” by Pink Floyd.
