'''NC (vo):''' Yep. Demolition Man wasn't a huge hit with critics or the box office, but it did leave a lasting impact with people. Many still talk about it because...well, they have no idea what to clarify it as. Is it a comedy? Is it an action film? Is it smart commentary? Is it dumb violence? Even today, people have trouble clarifying whether or not this is actually a good flick. Movies that break the mold yet somehow also stay bound to it intrigued me. So is it just mindless action or a clever satire of a future that could possibly still happen?

(We do the usual opening for the Nostalgia Critic before coming to him at his desk.)

NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to. Action films have come a long way, haven't they?

[Posters and images of The Avengers, The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games, Lucy, X-Men: The Last Stand, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are shown as NC speaks]

NC (vo): I mean, on top of them being continuing storylines, great visuals and interesting ideas, we've broken quite a few stereotypes as well. Today, women can be tough and developed, leading to more interesting characters, and men can be emotional and deep, also leading to more interesting characters.

NC: This is the direct opposite to the 80s and 90s, where they mainly just focused on one thing...being a MEH-YAN!

[The caption "MEH-YAN!" is shown as NC eats a piece of meat. Various images are shown as NC describes them]

NC (vo): RED MEAT, PUNCHING, BOOBS FOR MY DICK ON AN EXPLOSION WITH SAM ELLIOT'S MUSTACHE!

NC: MEH-YAN! We never talked about ideas or expressing our emotions! We were Meh-Yan-this-is-is! And we knew who the other Meh-Yan-this-is-is were!

[A poster of Commando is shown]

NC (vo): Schwarzenegger...MEH-YAN!

[An image of Indiana Jones is shown]

NC (vo): Ford...MEH-YAN!

[An image of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens is shown]

NC (vo): Weaver...yeah, okay...MEH-YAN!

[An image of Jean-Claude Van Damme is shown]

NC (vo): Van Damme? Van MEH-YAN!

[An image of Steven Seagal is shown, but quickly vanishes and is replaced with an image of Bruce Willis]

NC (vo): Seagal...oh, wait, no, he was never really cool. But Willis? MUH-MUH-MUH-MEH-YAN!

NC: We were so bloodhungry for not feeling or thinking anything that our hero for a while was an emotionless robot [An image of The Terminator is shown] who did nothing but kill people! Michael Bay wishes he could be as fucked up as we were! But every once in a while, a smart film would sneak in under the radar, disguised as a dumb dick flick. So, your friends would be like...

[Suddenly, Devil Boner appears in front of an image of London in a dark night]

Devil Boner: DEVILLLLL BONERRRRR!!

NC: Oh, hey!

Devil Boner: You want to see a film about a man's emotional struggle to hold onto his humanity?!

NC: What?

Devil Boner: [A poster of RoboCop is shown] ROBOCOP!!

NC: Oh, yeah! I love RoboCop!

Devil Boner: You want to see if a person's identity is based on his environment or his inner soul?!

NC: Huh?

Devil Boner: [A poster of Total Recall is shown] TOTAL RECALL!!

NC: Oh, yeah! Three breasts! I love that shit!

Devil Boner: You want to see Stallone...

NC: Meh-Yan!

Devil Boner: ...Snipes...

NC: Meh-Yan!

Devil Boner: ...guns...

NC: MEH-YAN!

Devil Boner: ...battle of politically correct or alien universe where they sing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener"?!

NC: Absolutely none of that goes together.

Devil Boner: DEMOLITION MAN!!

[The screen explodes. Clips from Demolition Man play as NC speaks]

NC (vo): Yep. Demolition Man wasn't a huge hit with critics or the box office, but it did leave a lasting impact with people. Many still talk about it because...well, they have no idea what to clarify it as. Is it a comedy? Is it an action film? Is it smart commentary? Is it dumb violence?

So is it just mindless action or a clever satire of a future that could possibly still happen?

NC: Let's take a look and decide for ourselves. This is Demolition MEH-YAN!
