Yeah there are some visual humor gags which are funny and help reinforce James comedy but really for me it's the verbal humor and James performance that drives this series. But mainly why the humor works is the mere fact that's it's funny because it's true. And that's the point he's not a guy meant to be taken seriously he's almost like a radio shock jock the things he spews out are just really hilarious from the amount of anger, frustrations, and colorful profanity he spews it's both jaw dropping and also just plain funny.
James Rolfe is just great, he's kinda playing himself but at the same time slightly contrary due to some of his exaggerated nature. The show is basically like MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) just as they take a lot of bad B movies and make mockery jokes on them, this show does it to video games. It's such a simple idea but that's why it's so great and has grown and is still is going to this day, heck there's even going to be a movie about this hopefully it's great. This show was one of the first that to me helped pave that way. Who'd of thought the underground sub culture amateur films and web series would actually come this far today which just further proves that you can still create good and great things no matter your limitations. To me the strangest thing about technology is the sub culture it produces. So put that game controller down, sit back, and watch keenly as James Rolfe takes you back to the past, to examine the ultimate travesties of the video game market. You don't have to be a gamer to connect with your inner child, which is essentially the effect that the show has, which, I might add, it pulls off extremely well. That many of these imitators give him no credit.) Unless you're as tightly wound as an anime turd, you will enjoy AVGN. The series is so damn perfect and original, that it's been copied and imitated (never topped by far) by countless individuals (it makes me so damn. The games are bad, the between-the-lines references are cool, and a plethora of pop-culture characters and always riveting special effects littered throughout each and every episode will have you wishing that you'd owned some of these atrocious Nintendo (and other console) titles so you could laugh even more. What at first may come across as a simple usage of cuss words and toilet humor will quickly have you laughing so hard you'd wished you'd never heard of him in the first place. On a quest to permanently rape and pillage all of the "shitty games" in his path, the Nerd also happens to be a comic genius, which makes for a fantastic amalgam of crap, and laughing about crap. If you haven't seen the outrageous antics of, as the memorable theme song denounces, "the angriest gamer you've ever heard," then you've fallen way too far off of the radar.
