"I'm sick of being the Friendly Ghost!"

- Casper

"TIMING!"

- Casper's catchphrase

Casper is a recurring antagonist in the show That Guy With the Glasses. The Nostalgia Critic has battled Casper several times in his appearances. Casper first appeared in his review of the film of the same name. The Nostalgia Critic was starting his review when he was ranting about how awful the movie was and how much he hates Casper, because unlike other ghosts he's not scary, he just sucks, and then suddenly Casper came in flying through the wall and the Critic greeted him warmly but then suddenly the Friendly Ghost kicked him in the balls. The shocked Critic asked why Casper was suddenly so mean, and Casper said he was sick of being the Friendly Ghost, and how he wanted everybody to know how he was not funny no more. Casper got more and more arrogant as the movie went on, becoming more evil and mean spirited, and he taunted the Critic about saying he was a bad comedian and how he wouldn't know what the real essence of all comedy is. He says, at the wrong time, that the spirit of comedy is "timing" which pisses off the Critic because Casper interrupted him. The Critic points out stupid things Casper said throughout the movie such as being made of a tingling feeling and the creepy "Can I keep you?" line. The Nostalgia Critic keeps pointing out stuff such as the movie having no plot, for instance the famous "treasure" in the Manor was just a baseball. The Critic is finally relieved that the movie is over, and he says that overall he enjoyed it, it had a funny tone and was lighthearted and interesting, but Casper is suddenly infuriated that the Critic didn't like his movie because he could see through his sarcasm. So, Casper punches the Critic, laughing, and when the Critic apparently flees, Casper laughs with "That's right, flee from the Friendly Ghost, ahahahahaha!" as to his shock, the Nostalgia Critic steps out with a Ghostbusters uniform and laser gun. Casper screams, and flees, and the Critic runs down the city streets yelling "CASPERRRR!" He eventually chases the ghost into a convention, full of science fiction fans. The Critic battles it out with Casper who mocks him in the air and possesses a man, but the Critic exorcises him with a laser. Casper then is tackled by the Nostalgia Critic and they both fall into a swimming pool.

The Friendly Ghost appears during a review of Child's Play 2, where Phelous is asking the Critic if he has a "soul" he can use so he can do Charles Lee Ray's black magic ritual. To Phelous' surprise, Casper flies out, shouting "TIMING!" and then Phelous zaps Casper into oblivion, banishing him. The Nostalgia Critic is hurt at this, saying Casper was one of his longest-running gags, and Phelous said "Yes, and that's why it sucked!"

However, Casper is not dead, he reappears in Child's Play 3 review, where he appears when Phelous summons him but Phelous zaps Casper into the toilet, imprisoning him forever. Casper is furious at being imprisoned, until the Critic says the movie is so bad he needs to take a crap, and Phelous tries to warn him of the ghost but too late - the Critic takes a dump on Casper. Hilarity ensues. Casper scolds the Critic as the credits roll and says how he will kill the Critic for constantly getting him to do the Timing meme. The Critic asks Casper if its possible for ghosts to have an Afterlife to which Casper insults him some more.
