Peter Souless

Peter Souless was a villain that appeared in the Nostalgia Critic's review of The Cat in the Hat. He appeared on the Critic's television screen while The Critic was reviewing the film.

According to the Nostalgia Critic, Souless was the network executive who bought all film rights to Dr. Suess. Throughout the review, Souless tries to defend the film by explaining the adult jokes made kids feel all grown up and using focus groups to help in making the film, only to be countered by the Critic's critisisms, explaining the adult jokes felt childish and how Dr. Suess wrote what he wanted people to see rather than what they wanted to see.

Finally, Souless says that Dr. Suess's books were simple kids books, but the Critic defends them by saying they were timeless classics that everyone grew up with and are continued to be read and are remembered by everyone while the movie will be forgotten. Evilina, the Devil's daughter, whom the Nostalgia Critic was baysitting, even said she prefered the book over the movie.

Souless finally snaps and decides to force them both to atch all the Dr. Suess films until they were appreciated. However, the Devil comes to pick up Evilina and recognizes Souless and said Souless sold his soul so the Dr. Suess movies would be a big hit as no one in their right mind would see them. The Devil drags Souless to Hell and prepares to leave. The Critic then throws a suggestion torture to Devil, who is impressed (even though all we kow about it is it involves a fork). While the Critic prepares his quote, he hears Souless's screams and smiles
