10 Most Cringeworthy E3 Moments Of All Time

[@TeamTripleJump]

Which E3 cringe moments are your favourite? If, indeed, that's possible.

[@Blueflag04]

EA Play 2019

[@stewartfennell8926]

I love your videos and i don't even play videogames!

[@williamsmith666]

Drunk Keanu.

[@reyntime1950]

'one million troops' guy. Definitely the best moment in e3 history.

[@Austin-gj7zj]

Sony E3 '06. A certified classic, that all gamers of my age will never forget.

[@ShogunTurnip]

Let's not forget Bethesda E3 2019 *Bethesda Says Literally Anything* 8 Shmucks in the front row: WOOOOO WOOOOO WOOOOO WOOOOOO WOOOOO WOOOOOO!

[@marcwilliams605]

Shmucks 😂😂😂😂

[@ShogunTurnip]

​@@drizztdourden666 At what point in my comment did I say that I hate Bethesda? Also I have no idea what you are on about with the "weeaboo" comment.

[@ShogunTurnip]

@@drizztdourden666 I was actually referring to the drunk guys wooing throughout the conference. I never actually said anything about Bethesda themselves, just those guys. Fair enough about the Shogun thing though. Although I've never heard anyone describe Resident Evil as "Weeaboo" before. So that's neat.

@Stellvia Hoenheim that's the same for me, I can't stand watching cringe but listening to someone tell me a story of a cringy moment is hilarious too me lol

[@pelago_]

That poor prank host guy, being put on way before you're supposed to would smash anyone's confidence.

[@cfbgoespop]

PEGGLE 2!!!! (Tumbleweed) Leaves And that's only number 9......

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I got the Platinum trophy for that 'game'. Popcap needs to make a Plants vs Zombies 3 for consoles.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

@matt fahringer Why is that, Matt? From you point of view that's the only games I mentioned playing. Nothing says I don't play anything else.

[@kempo10]

Thank you for this video. Peggle Two has single-handedly changed my life.

[@cupocoffee9369]

The Konami 2010 conference is still one of the cringiest things I have still ever witnessed in my life. Literally the entire thing is so painful

[@RepKyle95]

I forget, was the infamous "don't you have phones?" Diablo announcement at E3? Or was that a completely different con?

[@KuroErebus]

That was during Blizz-Con 2018.

[@poisonive45454]

Konami gets a pass from me for La Parka alone.

[@richardtherichard26]

Could’ve turned the whole thing around if he just had a steel chair to play some calming tunes with 😂

[@SpaceMissile]

3:37 is so hilarious to me. I feel like the guy was totally self-aware (knowing it would be weird and silent) and it just worked perfectly. also, PvZ: Garden Warfare is a surprisingly super-fun game.

[@MadastheHatter13]

That dudes delivery of "Giant Enemy Crab!" was very Tom Green. In fact that dudes whole dialogue was very Tom Green.

[@Blueflag04]

This year have mobile games too

[@BenjaminTrillington]

How about next time, you play the damn videos instead of explaining them to us

[@yourgameisstupid]

I think you're misreading the Popcap one; it's meant to be over the top and riduclous because Peggle 2 is not a big deal and they knew it.

[@bluenerdlabs6158]

So much cringe. Thanks for the list guys and nice job on 26k subscribers.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

Oh man, Jamie Kennedy. When was the last time anyone heard of him?

[@ArchangelSteve]

This just makes me appreciate Devolver's presentations even more than I already did...

[@KidFresh71]

I'm proud to say that I helped change some show floor rules of E3! In 1997, I was marketing a title named "Uprising" for Cyclone Studios (a division of The 3DO Company). We didn't have enough budget to be on the show floor, so I turned to guerrilla marketing techniques. I printed up thousands of glossy color posters, and continually affixed them to every wall, escalator, elevator, pillar, door, and restroom stall I could find. The posters were affixed with tape (so that surfaces would not be damaged and the posters could be easily removed), and I was careful to not cover up anyone else's paid signage. I only targeted unused, "neutral" public spaces. The end result was that despite not having an actual E3 booth, "Uprising" received a massive amount of E3 buzz, industry press, and a fairly strong product launch that fall. E3 quickly implemented rules, so that any company who tried to copy this guerrilla marketing technique would be levied with massive fines. While it was a little desperate on my behalf, it broke no rules at the time; and I did what I could to help make our game a success. Je regrette rien.

[@ernestovazquez9939]

Could you post videos without the commentary?? I think the videos themselves explain better then you.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I love Aisha but man she made me cringe too much.

[@SpaceMissile]

game presenters at e3 gives off "summer camp councilor" vibes.

[@dylanogg347]

Yikes...I thought Son of the Mask was the worst thing that happened to Jamie Kennedy. At least that wasn't live...

[@abdelali9279]

"comedian" thanks for reminding me this episode of E3 history, because I ignore who that guy was, I only remember Tony Hawk scolding some drunk jerk on stage.

[@AjaXxXDenia]

[@arihunta]

So much fremdschämen. But not Peggle 2. That was, as you so rightly said, glorious.

[@Radiohead801]

Thank you for the Peggle 2 clip.

[@ChaoticHoly]

10: I kinda feel bad for the guy. He's legit trying but fully aware he's experiencing Worst Case Scenario. 9. Dude is fully self-aware and I applaud him. 8. This was bloody hilarious. Giant Enemy Crabs, Riiiidge Racer!! $599 US Dollars!! 7. I'm not sure to this day what I watched. 6. Memes aren't manufactured, they're born. 5. Now we know why Konami left the video game business for a decade... 4. The only good think about Kinect is using it to search for ghosts. 3. One would almost think that he was set-up to fail by someone who didn't like him... 2. Just point and laugh. Not with them, but at them. There is no other response, so that is what I do. 1. Being drunk when being recorded for the the opening theme song of Samurai Pizza Cats is funny. **_THIS WAS NOT._**

[@ZanraiKid]

Just saying, but Randy Pitchford doing anything, including E3, in 2019 should be on the list.

[@lumirairazbyte9697]

[@jeffjeffjeffjeffjeffjeffje7774]

Good content lads. I reckon its only a matter of time before one of these goes viral

[@DjVortex-w]

Bah, the biggest cringe in this entire video is the commentary. Cringe videos don't need this much commentary and explanations. Too much telling, too little showing. Show, don't tell. You are, pretty much essentially, explaining the joke. And explaining it in way too much length.

[@evanredacted7977]

Honestly 2019 wasn't so bad. Bethesda had some slip ups, I heard EA was pretty bad, and Ubisoft had Just Dance, but beyond that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

[@Reno20k]

[@thesyndrome43]

E3 2010 was a special time to be watching live, it was like the gaming-business world had collectively gone crazy and most of the people watching were laughing their asses off. Konami's especially was almost an avant-garde attempt at subversive humour, my favourite part is just before the anime girls trailer came on screen, they wheeled out someone to describe the game and sell it before the trailer plays and to his credit he did a really good job and it all sounded fine, then the trailer starts and the anime girls appear and you just go "oh no...." and feel instantly bad for the guy that they forced out there to promote it

for me its Aisha Tyler in every E3 she's ever been apart of. it feels like she played a video game once and has been pretending to be a gamer ever since as a way of boasting her already non-existing career.
