The humor is only there to convince you to keep listening to a 70 minute movie review. I mean good lord, 70 minutes to tear apart everything wrong with a single film? Sure cutting out the jokes and sarcasm would have trimmed it down, probably to 55 minutes or so, but that is still a long time to sit listening to a lecture on why a movie sucks. Thats why the nostalgia critic does things his way, and his reviews are usually less than half as long!
