I can't start to think of that guy as funny. Nostalgia Critic's are fairly good, but AVGN just serves as a means through which to waste time Doug could be using to review DuckTales or something.
Powerglove, NES Accessories, Ghostbusters, Spider-man, Dick Tracy, Dracula, Jaguar (His last good review) & CDI Mario & Zelda are my favorites.

AVGN has some good moments, like the one LuigiHann mentioned, but That Guy With The Glasses is unbearable. I don't find him funny at all, and least of all clever. I really don't get why people are still talking about and/or following these series, the concept is done to death already.

Not quite THAT many, but in my case this forum is a good break from work, for a few minutes an hour...
I guess we just have a lot to talk about. I came on to talk about TMI (even though I already had an account and just never used it). But I discovered that this community is more interesting than I originally thought so now I post about more.
He's pretty funny most of the time...but if you've actually played the games, you'll realize that he DOES make stuff up. Like in his Back to the Future review, he said that all you do is skateboard, which is a huge exaggeration.
I've always liked his stuff. His videos have become much more professional-looking over the years and it's nice to see he's still getting lots of attention. I also enjoy his movie reviews and some of the non AVGN-related videos on his website.

I can't stand AVGN. He just sounds like Andy Rooney to me. A lot of forced complaining about crap that doesn't matter. Only he tries to pass it off as humor. I've heard him in interviews and such too and he's amazingly boring and unfunny.
Also a little frustrating that he doesn't really know much about games.
Sounds like you're exaggerating now. Yeah he's not a good actor but if you can see past that he's got some great outlooks on games (which he's sgnificantly more than knowledgable about...don't know where you got that from) and his cinematography, film editing, directing and special effects are quite effective and well done. He's just not an actor at heart. But I think that present aura of corniness actually suits the character and the atmosphere.
And just so we're on the same page we aren't talking about the Irate Gamer, who really isn't knowledgable, really isn't funny, is a plagiarising thief and is all around just significantly worse. But I won't open that can of worms.

My favorite moment was, after he did a whole review of the Top Gun game

Anyway, AVGN is pretty cool.
Board James is badass
