>> [_] Anon 2582208 I've only ever liked the Mega64 guys when they'd go outside acting like video game characters and capturing how people react towards them. That's the best shit they've ever done because you really have to have balls to make a fool of yourself like that in public. Other than that, everything else they do is fucking awful and I'm having a hard time figuring out why they think they're so great that they can mock the AVGN like this. As if Mega64 is on a much higher level than AVGN when they've never done a skit nearly as good as an AVGN episode. The Mega64 crew is just a bunch of dorks who are only good at going outside acting like video game characters.
>> [_] Anon 2582227 >># because AVGN's comedy is mostly just saying cursewords back to back, which only a child would find funny. its astonishing how he's put like, a decade into this one gag and the humor has not evolved at all. it's the same fucking gag over and over, swear a bunch and rake in the views.
>> [_] Anon 2582242 You know, making a parody of AVGN is like making fun of Troma movie. It is supposed to be cheap and filled with juvenile humor. However, James really like doing his videos, and shows respect to the games he plays, even the one that sucks really bad. That really makes the difference between his videos and your average IRONIC ANGRY reviewer. The fact he did almost 4 videos only on the Mr Jekyll game is a proof about it. Not trying to act like a fanboy, but after all imitators, critics and trendies, James still one of the most popular reviewers on the internet side to side with Doug Walker and JonTron. Same can't be said about Mega64. tl;dr they jelly as fuck
>> [_] Anon 2582247 >># While I agree with you, I think it makes sense. He was the earliest rage-at-videogames personality, and is generally credited as the start of the rage review style. Not to mention there's probably a huge generation of kids that grew up and started using the internet at an early age, which would explain why he's held up on a pedestal in internet culture (seeing as how they would be in their 20s, which seems to be the main age group for people on the internet)
>> [_] Anon 2582252 Funny parody - Happy Video Game Nerd Nice crossover - Nostalgia critic and AVGN Terrible ripoff - Irater Game A little too late to do any above - Mega64

>> [_] Anon 2582256 >># Or maybe the sketch was just unfunny
>> [_] Anon 2582257 >># Full force.
>> [_] Anon 2582272 >># Why does he look and act nothing like him? I don't really care about Mega64. We all know how fast those guys sold out. But even if we ignore that, this is a terrible parody. If I was AVGN I'd be offended, not that they're making fun of him, but that they did such a godawful job of it. It is like watching a comedian bomb at your roast.
>> [_] Anon 2582287 >># If nothing else, this serves as a good demonstration on why delivery is so important to comedy.
>> [_] noko 2582312 partly good, partly bullshit he was accidentally funny at specific time - so the rating is meh
>> [_] Anon 2582322 >># ...just maybe....
>> [_] Anon 2582341 Oh. Satire. Funny.
>> [_] Anon 2582420 Ironically, reminds me of that Rocky spoof that James reviewed once, his major complaint was about how incompetent the crew were to create a funny spoof about the most easy targets possible, like Stalonne voice, the training montage or the old grumpy trainer that sums up this video
