The BEST episodes of Angry Video Game Nerd season 1
Every episode of Angry Video Game Nerd season 1, ranked from best to worst by thousands of votes from fans of the show. The best episodes of Angry Video Game Nerd season 1!
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.
#1 - Rocky
Season 1 - Episode 16 - Aired 12/14/2006
Released to coincide with the new Rocky movie, ROCKY BALBOA, December 2006. First review of a NON-NES game. First time "The Angry VIDEO GAME Nerd" was used in the theme song, instead of "Nintendo Nerd".
#2 - Bible Games
Season 1 - Episode 17 - Aired 12/20/2006
CHRISTMAS, 2006 SPECIAL! One of the longest episodes to date. ScrewAttack had to release it in two parts, because of their video player. But it was always meant to be one.
#3 - A Nightmare on Elm Street
Season 1 - Episode 13 - Aired 10/31/2006
The follow up to the Angry Nintendo Nerd's Friday the 13th review, featuring Freddy Krueger. Another classic episode!
#4 - Chronologically Confused About Sequel Titles
Season 1 - Episode 15 - Aired 11/28/2006
The Angry Video Game Nerd complains about the titles of sequels in Movies and Games. First time "The Angry VIDEO GAME Nerd" name was officially used as I began branching to other games besides Nintendo.
#5 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Season 1 - Episode 5 - Aired 6/21/2006
First episode to appear on ScrewAttack.com a week prior to being released on YouTube. This is still one of my most popular episodes.
#6 - Friday the 13th
Season 1 - Episode 12 - Aired 10/13/2006
The Halloween 2006 special! First episode to have a cliffhanger. Released on October, Friday the 13th, 2006 on Screwattack.com, this is the Nerd's 13th video release, if you count "The Anger Begins". It's also runs nearly 13 minutes long. How many 13's can we fit in?
#7 - The Power Glove
Season 1 - Episode 14 - Aired 11/15/2006
Thanksgiving 2006 special. First episode to review a game peripheral The Angry Video Game Nerd will tell you why the power glove is so bad.
#8 - Back to the Future
Season 1 - Episode 6 - Aired 7/21/2006
First review to feature more than one game. First time saying "I'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk"
#9 - Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Season 1 - Episode 1 - Aired 5/25/2004
Why is Castlevania 1 and 3 a bloody good time and Castlevania 2 worthy of a stake to the heart? The Angry Nintendo Nerd reveals why.
#10 - Top Gun
Season 1 - Episode 10 - Aired 9/15/2006
This is another one of my most popular episodes and has been referenced in many future episodes. Relive the anger and frustration of trying to land that damn plane. Watch the Angry Video Game Nerd tear this game a new asshole!
#11 - Wally Bear and the NO! Gang
Season 1 - Episode 8 - Aired 9/1/2006
Hey Kids! Say NO to awful games! This is the first episode to review an unlicensed NES game.
#12 - Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Season 1 - Episode 4 - Aired 4/24/2006
This is when the Angry "Nintendo" Nerd officially became a series. At this point, I was getting so much positive feedback, I decided to make more, and from there, it kept snowballing as the fan base accelerating.
#13 - Double Dragon III
Season 1 - Episode 11 - Aired 9/22/2006
Yeah, Double Dragon was the shit, but see why the Angry Nintendo Nerd HATES the third one.
#14 - McKids
Season 1 - Episode 7 - Aired 8/25/2006
This is the first AVGN episode to use the theme song written and performed by Kyle Justin. I have to say, McKids wasn't that bad of a game, but I was exploring my boundaries with this one. I chose this game mostly because of the novetly of McDonald's. But anyway, watch the Angry Nintendo Nerd tear it up.
#15 - The Karate Kid
Season 1 - Episode 3 - Aired 4/8/2006
Episode #3 Originally meant to cap the "trilogy". Made nearly 2 years after the first two Nerd videos (May 2004). First time, all 3 videos appeared on the internet, with the advent of YouTube.
#16 - Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu
Season 1 - Episode 9 - Aired 9/8/2006
This episode featured a guest appearance by Shit Pickle from my Wizard of Oz spoof, "Wizard of Oz 3" This episode was also part of a string of 6 episodes, each released on the Friday of each week on ScrewAttack.com. Therefore, the ScrewAttack/YouTube release dates got jumbled together and kind of confusing.
#17 - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Season 1 - Episode 2 - Aired 5/28/2004
The Nerd talks about the worst game ever for the NES.
