Angry Video Game Nerd

Angry Video Game Nerd (2004- )

RunningTalk Show showComedy

The titular Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock or Yuengling, to "soothe the pain". A particular characteristic is his favorable comparison of extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological, acts to playing the games he reviews. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuse.

Beating Bubble Bobble (NES)

Angry Video Game Nerd episode 233. The Nerd learns that beating Bubble Bobble the right way takes more than one player. To reach the true ending, he has to bring in a very special guest. Together they blow bubbles, trap enemies, dodge Grumple Grommit (aka "Super Drunk"), decode the game's bizarre on-screen messages, and grind through both loops to earn the ending most people never saw back in the day.
