The Nostalgia Critic2007
Nostalgia Critic:
Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic, I remember it so you don't have to. We're all familiar with the term "damsel in distress", the helpless female who always has to get rescued by the male and in return, turns herself into the reward. It's a clich? as old as time itself. But in recent years, it's gone through sort of an equal rights movement. We've discovered that even males have to be rescued once in a while and that truly, stupidity knows no gender. But goddammit, do they have to be so obnoxious? The clich? is bad enough, but when the character clearly shows that he or she can take care of themselves, it just pisses you off when you're the one who has to save them in the end. Or on top of that, if they're just annoying as hell to begin with. Now, I'm not talking about ALL repeat hostages. For example, April O'Neal got captured all the time, but she was also funny, clever, and had a very likable personality. Indiana Jones' father got captured a lot, but again, he was a lot of fun to have an adventure with. These are the people you want to smack in the face every time they get into trouble. They're the obnoxious little pawns whose only purpose is to be rescued, to the point where you just want to say, "You know what? Let the train hit 'em." And I'm here to count down the top 11 of them here today. Why top 11? Because I like to go one step beyond. So, sit back and enjoy the top 11 dumbasses in distress.
