    Fantastic Show!

    When I came across this web-series for the first time, I couldn't stop watching it. Filmmaker James Rolfe is very talented when it comes to writing reviews and comedy sketches. In this show, he combines both of them and makes extremely well written video game reviews. These games are mostly from the 70s, 80s and 90s. This appeals to me and it gives the show a nice, retro vibe. It is clever how all the episodes intertwine with each other. And above all, IT'S SO FUNNY!!! I can't think of an episode where I didn't laugh. He takes the bad elements of the video games and pokes fun at them and rants about them in ways that make you laugh and also think "That's a good point. This game does suck." Never before have I seen a web-series do this. Over all, The Angry Video Game Nerd is one of my top two favorite series's on YouTube. Perfection!

    The best Video Game critic ever!

    He's the angriest gamer you'll ever heard! I've know this guy since summer of 2016. His video make me laugh a lot. The first AVGN video is Friday The 13th (NES). The channel is Cinemassacre, that's where the AVGN episodes are at. His biggest enemy is LJN (the worst game company). My question is why when Nintendo is around when there's a movie LJN have to make it? This is worth watching and I hope someday he review BatMan Dark Tomorrow (more like BatMan Dank Tomorrow). This is the best video game critic in my opinion.

    Gaming and Movie Pop Culture and Humor= Pure Entertainment

    For those who surfed the internet, then there's no doubt you've heard of the Angry Video Game Nerd.

    James Rolfe combines classic Video Game pop culture and an outrageous sense of humor to create one of the funniest internet shows ever created. It's just always fun to see The Nerd destroy and rip apart the games he plays.

    Of course my favorite parts of the show are when special guests appear and The Nerd always takes them on.

    Now there's way too many good episodes to choose as a favorite. But I can only say this: Out of all the knockoffs that many have become after The AVGN, none will be as best as the original.

    One of the funniest shows i've seen!

    i may be easily amused, but this is awesome!

    The acting is great, the humor is perfect!

    and of course the special-effects in the later episodes are great for an amateur (although i find it a little wrong calling him an amateur).

    It's also interesting to look at bad old games.

    and you've got to love the theme song! great work by Kyle Justin.

    the guest appearances are funny as s**t! most of them are by Mike Matei.

    i recommend this to everyone with a sense of humor.

    and i don't think i'm exaggerating when i'm giving it a 10/10. a must see.

    He's the Angry Video Game Nerd!

    Back then there were games that ticked us all off to no end, then from Philadelphia, came a game reviewer that took us back to the past to play the games that suck ass. And from there, was when our inner anger exploded when the Angry Video Game Nerd vent his wrath upon these horrible games. He has made over many videos and gain millions of fans that fell in love of his anger. To this day, he continues to make reviews on games, which bring laughter to us all. My favorite episode would be the Ghostbusters NES game, I never knew that there was one for the NES, but now I do and I know it sucks. So with that said, James Rolfe, I salute you.

    P.S. Superman N64 was nothing but a PIECE OF DOG CRAP!

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The reason why Angry Video Game Nerd always drinks Rolling Rock is because it was the only beer James Rolfe had in his fridge at the time he made the first episode.
    • Goofs
      If you look at the Rolling Rock bottle in some episodes, you can clearly see that beer is not in the bottle, but instead water as the liquid in the bottle isn't dark enough to be the beer.

      The Angry Nintendo Nerd: What a shit load of fuck.

    • Alternate versions
      While fair use permits the use of movie music and clips for the online videos, profits generated by the DVD sales have led to James Rolfe removing movie clips used for comedic effect from his reviews to avoid any potential legal repercussions. As such, most reviews of video games based on movies have removed footage and music from those movies (including Rocky, Back to the Future, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street).
