Mr. Plinkett
Harry S. Plinkett is a senile old man portrayed by Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa for Redlettermedia, a YouTube film review channel. The character appears in two different continuities. Evans portrays him in Half in the Bag while Stoklasa portrays him (voice only) in Plinkett Reviews. The character achieved massive fame online for his series of reviews for the Star Wars prequels. Evans’ Plinkett is more of a confused and slightly off old man getting his VCR fixed by the Lightning Fast VCR Repair Men while Stoklasa’s is a full on serial killer pervert. Since Stoklasa’s Plinkett never appears on-screen, this guide will be based off of Evans’ version.
Lightning Fast VCR Repairmen
Half in the Bag is a film review series by YouTube channel RedLetterMedia hosted by Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bauman. The series is unique in its sitcom-like production, with a storyline fueling the reviews. In the series, Mike and Jay play two inept VCR repairmen trying to fix Mr. Plinkett’s VCR player.

Anton Ego
In Ratatouille, Anton Ego (voiced by Peter O’Toole) is an acerbic food critic whose reviews can make or break a restaurant. He rejects the notion that just anyone can cook, but when Alfredo Linguini and Remy serve him up a simple peasant dish, it disarms Ego by returning him to his childhood memory of his mother cooking.
The Angry Video Game Nerd
The Angry Video Game Nerd demonstrates his mastery of potty humor and F-bombs in his popular classic video game reviews. Like any good nerd, AVGN always sports a pocket full of pens and Sharpies while he trashes awful games between sips of Rolling Rock.
