BadComedian

Evgeny Vladimirovich Bazhenov (; born May 24, 1991), better known by his internet nickname BadComedian (or Evgen BadComedian, ), is a Russian YouTube personality and film critic. He features in an eponymous YouTube channel where most of his reviews are uploaded.

Bazhenov makes critical reviews of Russian (and occasionally, American, Indian and Ukrainian) movies. His first review was uploaded on March 28, 2011. He also uploads positive reviews on a separate channel called EvgenComedian and used to collaborate with CarambaTV. Evgeny often criticizes comedy films directed by Zhora Kryzhovnikov, those released by Enjoy Movies company and various action films created by Alexander Nevsky. The BadTrip web series was released between 2015 and 2017, in which Evgeny Bazhenov travels around various locations in the United States which are related to famous films and TV series. He states that his works are inspired by Nostalgia Critic and The Spoony Experiment reviews. The nickname "BadComedian" is derived from the name of Comedian, a character from the Watchmen comic book and film, while "Bad" implies that Bazhenov himself thinks of his reviews as sarcastic rather than humorous.
