The Angry Video Game Nerd (abbreviated as AVGN, occasionally shortened to The Nerd) is the titular character and name of a series of Internet video farcical retrogaming video game reviews by James D. Rolfe.[1][2] The show revolves around retro game reviews that involve acerbic rants against the particularly low-quality type of video games, usually, but not always, games featuring licensed characters. The series began as a feature on YouTube, and later joined ScrewAttack Entertainment, which would later have three of its features, including the AVGN, transferred to GameTrailers exclusively. The show was formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, a title that was abandoned to evade legal issues due to the Nintendo trademark.[3] The series' theme song was written by Kyle Justin with lyrics by both Justin and Rolfe.[4]

The titular Nerd character is an ill-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from his loud Pennsylvania accent, excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and heavy consumption of beer, particularly Rolling Rock and Yuengling, to "soothe the pain."[3] 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 in as well.

History

The series began in May 2004 with two short reviews of NES games, created and put on Cinemassacre.com.[3] In 2006, the videos were put on YouTube under the name of "Angry Nintendo Nerd". He later changed the name to "Angry Video Game Nerd" to prevent trademark issues.[3] Along with the name change, the Nerd soon diversified, reviewing games on other platforms such as the Atari 2600, Super Nintendo, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, and the Sony PlayStation on one occasion. Along with reviewing games, some episodes have featured other video game-related items, such as the Power Glove, the Atari 5200, the Sega Mega-CD, the Sega 32X, the Intellivision and Colecovision systems, and Nintendo Virtual Boy as well as a movie review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III and a tribute to Nintendo Power magazine.

Rolfe has stated on his website that the first videos he made were "just a joke" and he had no intention on making them public[3], instead showing them only to friends. After one of his friends suggested he put it online, Rolfe soon did, and since then, his reviews have become increasingly popular and have developed a large fanbase.[5] Rolfe's videos grew longer, soon turning into an actual series complete with title cards, an intro song and official merchandise.

After his fourth online review on YouTube, he joined ScrewAttack and has since been employed by MTV Networks' GameTrailers.com.[6] Since then, his videos are GameTrailers exclusives.

While full-length episodes are now no longer uploaded on YouTube (the last one to be uploaded in full on the site was the "Bible Games" review in December 2006), trailers for new videos are still uploaded. Each trailer links to the full-length video on GameTrailers. Rolfe still uses his YouTube account to upload videos that do not contain the AVGN character.

Popularity

International Recognition

The Angry Video Game Nerd has developed a World-wide following resulting in interviews from magazines, television shows and video game related websites outside the United States. Examples include interviews and articles conducted in Germany[7], Sweden[8], South Korea[9], and the Philippines[10].

YouTube

Although full episodes are no longer uploaded to YouTube, the Angry Video Game Nerd still ranks in the top ten most popular series.

As of March 17th 2008,[11] the show has the following rankings:

Opie and Anthony Radio Show

On August 8, 2007, Rolfe's character gained mainstream attention when his videos were featured on the Opie and Anthony radio show.[12] Since then, additional videos have been played occasionally on the show. Rolfe was later interviewed by Opie and Anthony on January 9, 2008.[13]

Spike TV

The Angry Video Game Nerd was featured as part of a review of ScrewAttack.com during an episode of Spike TV's Game Head during the week of November 25, 2007.[14] The spot included clips of some of his previous reviews such as Die Hard.

CNN

On December 12, 2007, the Nerd's "You Know What's Bullshit?" penny rant was featured on CNN's "News to Me" segment. [15]

Fan Following

The Angry Video Game Nerd has a large fan following that has created hundreds of pictures, tribute videos, customized versions of the show's theme song and even an AVGN-related video game. The show attempts to integrate most of this fan material into reviews. A collection of fan images is also displayed on the website's fan-art gallery [16]. In addition, the show attempts to maintain a cordial relationship with fans and other reviewers. On many occasions, Rolfe has responded directly to fans on the show's forum.[17]

Music

The Angry Video Game Nerd theme song was composed by independent musician Kyle Justin. The lyrics were the work of both Justin and Rolfe.[4]

The original version of the theme song, which refers to the titular character as the "Angry Nintendo Nerd," features only an acoustic guitar. The second recording is similar to the original but features a more refined performance and an extra lyric at the end referring to the "Angry Video Game Nerd." This version of the theme song is only used in the "Rocky" review, as it was quickly displaced by the third version. However, it is used again in the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" review. The third version, which debuted in the "Atari 5200" video, features an overdriven electric guitar and drum set. This version significantly expands on the original song, adding more verses, choruses, and entirely new music. However, a pared down version, similar in structure to the second version of the theme song, is normally used. The full version is only featured in the Sega CD review and on the DVD set.

The theme song has been covered by fans in every genre from heavy metal to chiptune. Rolfe occasionally features a vocal or instrumental cover of the theme song in lieu of Kyle Justin's version in the main titles or end titles of a video. The cover by Dustin Aßmuteit is featured as an extra on the DVD set.

In addition to the Angry Video Game Nerd theme song, several songs have been parodied in Angry Video Game Nerd episodes, including "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" ("Bible Games"), the Spider-Man theme song ("Spider-Man"), and the Addams Family theme song ("Fester's Quest"). "Nintendo Power" features a cover of the theme song from Nintendo Power commercials, while the Intellivision and the Colecovision reviews feature a cover of Foreigner's Double Vision. All of these songs have been performed by Kyle Justin.

The scores for Angry Video Game Nerd episodes are culled from a variety of sources, including film soundtracks, television soundtracks, and pop music. Some episodes, including "Friday the 13th" (DVD version only), "Nightmare on Elm Street" (DVD version only), "Rocky" (DVD version only), "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Halloween", and "An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol" have necessitated the composition of original scores, some of which reference Kyle Justin's theme song.

Special guests

Occasionally, "special guests" make an appearance. These encounters typically, but not always, meet with unfortunate ends.

Most of the characters are played by Mike Matei, who also illustrates the show's title cards. His roles include Jason Voorhees, Bugs Bunny, Leatherface, Chop Top, Michael Myers and the Cowardly Lion. Freddy Krueger Is played by James Rolfe with Matei taking on the role when both were in frame.[18] Also, Kyle Justin played both Spider-Man and Cousin Itt in separate episodes, which were accompanied by him performing the theme songs from Spider-Man and The Addams Family, with reworked lyrics.

Some episodes have a basic storyline inspired by the plot of the game or movie being reviewed. In these cases, guests are used to play the episode-specific characters. In the Halloween review, Michael Mulvey and Lil' Liam Mulvey, wearing Optimus Prime and Swamp Thing costumes, respectively, play the parts of the neighbor's Trick-or-treaters. Nicole Mulvey plays the neighbor. In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre review, Jimmy Jim Slugg appears as the hillbilly.

In The Nerd's take on A Christmas Carol, Stuttering Craig and Handsome Tom, co-founders of ScrewAttack, appear as the Ghost of Christmas Past and the Ghost of Christmas Present, respectively. A Dracula sprite from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest represents the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.[19][20]

DVD

On November 18, 2007, the first AVGN DVD set was released. It includes all of the episodes up to Bible Games. Some material, such as movie clips from Back to the Future and Rocky, were removed to avoid copyright infringement and replaced with new material. The DVD includes extended versions of the "Wally Bear and the NO Gang!" and "Rocky" reviews as well as an original documentary, deleted scenes and most of the videos posted exclusively on ScrewAttack.com. In all, the DVD set contains approximately four hours of content.

According to Rolfe, the initial pressing of the DVD sold out in less than a week.[22]

There were 100 DVD's sold with James Rolfe's autograph on the front cover.[23]

The GameTrailers.com episodes will be featured on subsequent DVD releases.[24]

Video Game Movie Quote of the Week

Rolfe produced four episodes of ScrewAttack's Video Game Movie Quote of the Week segment in his Angry Nerd persona during the summer of 2007.

You Know What's Bullshit

You Know What's Bullshit is a series of short videos in which Rolfe angrily complains about seemingly inconsequential problems in a style similar to that of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Thus far the topics have included security labels, pennies, shoelaces, movies about penguins, the lack of pens at post offices, paying restrooms, and temperature. Illustrations for You Know What's Bullshit are made by Mike Matei.

Shit Pickle

Shit Pickle is a series based on the original character "Shit Pickle" from Rolfe's and Mike Matei's The Wizard of Oz 3: Dorothy Goes to Hell.[25] Shit Pickle reappeared as a guest reviewer in "Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu." He was later given his own short series, of which three episodes have been produced. Episode One introduces two new Pickle characters: Dick Pickle and Tit Pickle (presumably Shit Pickle's parents). Episode two introduces a family of monkeys that has a penchant for the phrase "Monkey Cheese" and uses non sequitur humor. Rolfe and Matei produce the episodes, with Rolfe generally doing the voice acting and Matei doing the animation.
