I never liked the cussing tangents but I did laugh at a lot of his videos in the first few years

From that video I laughed at the part where he jumped into the water along with Tails.

I think I laughed at some joke he did about a glitch in a video game. I can't remember which one it was, though.

yes, multiple times

I laughed at the joke about the game sending itself back to the store after dying.

The recent episode about that insane anti comunist game made in Hong Kong was fucking amazing :,)

I laughed at his joke of life

In the 6th grade I did for sure

Big Rigs commercial.

Ya got me user.

I laughed at spiderman backseat gaming then not being able to beat it himself.

Silver Surfer

When i was a teenager, yeah, i laughed a lot at pretty much every video. Silver Surfer in particular almost killed me.

I laughed at brown bricks

yes back when he was good

Clearly he's tired of AVGN and doesn't put his all into it anymore. He tries but it just isn't there.

FRED FUCKS

So last year?

when I was like 14
is he still enjoyable?

Yes, but I actually watch him more for the way he explains stuff. Shit's fascinating and he has a strangely soothing voice.

IT SUCKS MONKEY FUCK
sucks monkey fuck

No that cockfucker is a cum slurping faggot

This. His movie reviews are great. Someone should get him to read some horror books or something.

He did a pretty good video on the Oz book series too.

the mario 3 review whole satanic plot and mecha christ were pretty funny
also the first dr kekyl and my sides review was pretty good for its time
back then, there was not a lot of triggered material

Gottem

As a fan of those books growing up, it's always nice when I see someone give them their due.

I liked him more when he was edgier.
>I wanna nail Roger Rabbit to the fucking cross

You watched it right? He did a great explanation of how they went despite only one ever reaching popular media attention.

I'd love for all these gaming critics to just do cuts of their content without the shitty skits. James's commentary is fun to listen to, but I've grossly outgrown the skit aspect.

This. I used to find the ANN absolutely hilarious when I was a Freshman in high school. I was linked the TMNT review on a different video game discussion forum and was pretty entertained.

this always makes me laugh

>but I've grossly outgrown the skit aspect.
I'm really confused. The skit aspect is a newer part of the character. I don't remember any skits during his ANN persona.

Him singing the Zyuranger theme got me

Yeah, almost a decade ago when I was in high school. Goddamn I feel old for saying that.

AVGN was never ever funny, and he got less funny as time went on.

I was 11 or 12 when he started becoming a noteworthy online figure. I watched those videos as they come out, people on IRC and MSN Messenger wouldn't stop showing them to me. It just wasn't funny then.

I really admire the effort he went to in his videos. At the same time, during the earliest days of "internet personality critics," he did put more work into his shit than others did. But in service of what? Unfunny bullshit. And he got wildly popular for spouting that unfunny bullshit. God, it's annoying.

And it isn't annoying because he did well. He's a successful man who does work to earn his keep. Nothing wrong there. It's annoying because fucking normalfags who have never touched retro games in their lives dismiss my dislike of him as me just "not liking old games," or "not getting it." No I get it, it's just not entertaining, insightful, funny or worthwhile.

AVGN has made a good living and I admire that, he just makes shitty content.

BEE SEVENTEEN BAWMER

His content isn't bad or unfunny, you just don't like it.

yes
the whole bugs bunny video

Not his Sonic 06 review.

That one was fucking boring and him experimenting around greenscreen.

Oh my god, it's Bugs Bunny!

B-17 BAWMBER

>reddit spacing
Other than that i mostly agree except that his content isn't shitty, his non angry video gamer videos are probably his best even though the 06 review is actually really good.

BUGS
FUCKING
BUNNY

>AVGN was never ever funny
>he got less funny as time went on

So was he funny or not?

Nigger Safari Jafari.

>post on Sup Forums for 12 years
>get called reddit because you know how to make paragraphs

It has been years that we've dismissed stuff we don't like as just being redditors, but the idea of "reddit spacing" is so flabberghastingly retarded that I guess you got a (you) from me and the satisfaction that you did in fact make me mad.

Yeah

His commentary is funny, but the stupid faces and cheap skits/songs are garbage.

His intentional jokes aren't funny at all. I just liked his exaggerated reactions to stupid mechanics in the game.

A single sentence isn't a paragraph you fucking throwback.

>No I get it, it's just not entertaining, insightful, funny or worthwhile.
The interesting part of this statement is that there's many modern era episodes where he's not even angry anymore. He's very mellow and when he's like that, he gives a lot of history and insight on the game. Which I actually preffer over his angry persona, so much I wish Mellow Video Game Nerd, was a spin off or something.

A FUCKING CHICKEN MASK

>so much I wish Mellow Video Game Nerd, was a spin off or something.
That's not AVGN that's just him playing games on his own, usually with another person. His movie reviews are a lot like that too.

No, no, I mean literal AVGN episodes, where his tone isn't even angry.
I don't mean when he's with Mike, or anything like that.
Fuck, I need to dig through the episodes, but it was last season or this season of AVGN.
Sword Quest is a very good example of this early "Mellow" phase. Especially since the games aren't bad, so he gives history class on a very fascinating event from the Golden Age of Videogames.

>whoa dude this games like a total bummer
his best delivery

Paragraphs separate ideas, they can be as long or as short as required.

oh i know what you mean. i wish most of his videos were like that and he saved avgn for things that genuinely made him angry.

Zo is Heather's twin they are not the same person. Heather and Zo were put up for adoption and were separated. Zo was adopted while Heather wasn't, so their parents came back and got Heather since she was to much to handle for the orphanage. But it was sadly to late to get Zo back as well. Zo was adopted by a wealthy couple who were unable to have children.

I haven't laughed at a joke in 5 years.

James is actually really fun to listen too. Its why I like his horror movie/giant monster reviews and the like, his genuine enthusiasm for the genre comes through.

I don't laugh out loud but his jokes aren't bad. I like most of his content one of the few youtubers I can stand.

Read a fucking book.

Probably because AVGN is pre-youtube.

Yes, that's also why I wish Mellow VGN was a thing, because of this exactly.

As someone who grew with Showa era Godzilla on public TV, watching his Gozillathon was the greatest thing.

Probably.

Classic Game Room is also pre-YouTube. Does that give him the Sup Forums seal of approval or not?

I don't know who that is. But the point was he started before youtube, so naturally couldn't fall into many of the tropes of Youtubers.
Doesn't mean anything is good or bad.

Personally, there are plenty of Youtubers I like.

YouTube channel that began before the internet.
YouTube revived it.

I really enjoyed the seaman episode. It was very relaxing, up until he destroyed time.

No but he's amusing. Sometimes I just want to smile.

This
I wish he dropped the AVGN personality after the ROB episode and/or the movie and just did chill game reviews with the occasional "Let's look at how shit this shitty game is" to appease the old fans

Yes, but sure as hell not that episode.

The video where he actually played it for the first time was much better.

"Jihadi Jon" Jafari

Pretty much everything in his Dick Tracy episode is what makes me laugh.

Pong Consoles is maximum comfy.

Yes.

I pissed myself at this part.

bugs bunnys birthday blow out
... blow out your ass!

the bible games and tiger electronic eps. bought the lulz

I'd like it if he made a separate show just for stuff like that, I could watch that for hours like I do AVGN and people wouldn't complain about him dropping it. His voice though, it's so comforting and easy on the ears.

Yeah, tons of them, I used to love AVGN.

IN THE NAME OF GOD, HEAVEN AND HELL; EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN; EVERY CREATURE ON EARTH; BY THE FAR REACHES OF THE GALAXY; BY THE INNER RIMS OF THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERY MEGAVERSE IN THE ULTRAVERSE; LET IT BE KNOWN--LET THE WORD BE KNOWN--THIS CONTROLLER IS FUCKIN H O R R A B L E

Board James is kino.

"it slurps anal grease from a warthogs dick hole"

Jon "Get the browns out of my town" Tron.

64 bits.

he has his moments.
personally I find it more interesting than funny

32 bits.

>strangely soothing voice

He mentioned doing some narration work I guess.

16 bits

...

Might be it. Just has an oddly familiar feel.

>POKÉMON WALKIE TALKIES

THE WRISSSSSSSST GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

...

The ending of his Christmas Carol special is his single best skit, the pacing is great and James' comedic timing is his absolutely best

>LOOK AT ALL THESE GAMES, I THINK I'M GONNA PLAY, SUPER MARIO WORLD!
>FUCK YEAH THIS GAME'S AWESOME!
>In fact, I should just play GOOD GAMES for once.
>*smile quickly turns into frown, shoots off his chair, turns off the SNES and ejects the cartridge nearly sending it flying*
>MAN, FUCK THAT. LET'S PLAY SOME SHITTY ONES. *pulls Virtual Boy from out of nowhere*

WITH A RUFF
AND A RUFF
AND A FUCK
AND A FFFFFUCK

>Nerd as Batman shoving all the games he reviewed up the Joker's ass
>final shot of him hammering the Commodore 64 game into his asshole

Hey man, did you just swear?

>there's no place like home...
WIPE YOUR ASS WITH TOTO

AAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
