AVGN Script Collection PART 1 (of 3) for charity

AVGN art, costumes, and props are being auctioned for charity! Before they go, James and Mike look over the AVGN scripts, (plus Board James and You Know What's Bullshit) and discuss the making of the series, in celebration of 10 years of posting on KZbin!
I am auctioning AVGN/ Cinemassacre memorabilia, including original artwork, costumes, props, and scripts. All proceeds go to Shriners Hospitals for Children, a network of hospitals across the United States that care for children with injuries, regardless of their family's ability to pay.

[@mugglesmonster]

Everybody hated on Mike so hard when James was gone. It was kinda shitty. He held down the fort and no one cared.

[@cheezdoodle96]

Yeah I remember that. I feel really sorry for Mike in retrospect. (I never hated on him back then. I actually liked the videos he made.) If people had only known the reason behind it all... It's kinda sad, actually.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

+mugglesmonster I think Mike didn't necessarily handle it as best he could, which is where some of the backlash came from.

[@jaredw7640]

What are the reasons behind it all??

[@PepsiMan666]

>why did mike bring me to this strip club >my back hurts >this music is too loud >wish I was home playing coleco

[@danoschwab9937]

Wait.. that wasn't the real Bugs Bunny??

[@andrewski1433]

Ain't he a goddamn fucking piece of shit??!!

[@NightFlyStudio]

I would like to see a AVGN episode that has James split up into the Sega Nerd, Atari Nerd, Nintendo Nerd, and PS Nerd and each has their own personalities. I can see it now...

[@bartsfartandshart]

The Power Rangers episode probably counts for that.

[@Nick-qf7vt]

That's a really damn good idea

[@tigre3903]

You get a tease (kinda) of that in the Power Rangers episode

[@thema1998]

​@@bartsfartandshart Kinda. We don't get to see them for very long!

[@UltraZeroX7]

That Mario Ball AVGN used in the Bugs Bunny episode was actually a McDonalds Happy Meal!

[@chipperviews]

I can never buy anying but I'm just happy he is still here

[@t-mc-2770]

It's funny that mike has been apart of this from the beginning, yet we've only seen him in the last couple years

[@neointel0092]

Bring back you know what's bullshit series pleaseeee!!!

[@MasterChris666]

wow bring back alot of my childhood oh god thank you guys made me ;]

[@jaggs9000]

It's weird but I like The silver surfer Orange color Something about it just always just so warm and cozy

[@davidturbo8566]

Mike totally looks like. the lead singer of old crow medicine show.

[@MrRatchet12661]

Well....that's Nostalgia Blast.

[@doublebassman123]

He always takes us back to the past.

[@miguelquarles9030]

I thought of a special AVGN episode James. Why not make a episode 14th special of instruction manuals? It would make a decent episode.

[@narusferree6506]

If you're going to sign paper with sharpies, be careful; it tends to bleed through.

[@gamevidsful]

avgn ain't stale though you have creative unlike network shows

[@mysteryoothero]

for the love of god, please do the Colecovision stripper club thing in an AVGN video

[@Shmandalf]

I see James follows the 'Games before dames' philosophy... 30:20

[@samuraistrike1]

James did you notice your face was turning red 😄

[@DarkRaptor99]

The Colicovision stripper story is hilarious!!!

[@MeV2100]

+DarkRaptor99 i read this comment before the video and was so confused, and somehow it makes perfect sense now.

[@Bibbedibob]

+MeV2100 lmao

[@Louicanthrope]

+DarkRaptor99 best way to end the video xD

[@Pukis18]

+DarkRaptor99 almost died out of laughter :D

[@gamemast15r]

+DarkRaptor99 If I ever have a bachelor party im gonna say something similar tbh xD this story made me laugh my ass off

[@ArmorOfGod7]

This is why AVGN is so great and why James has been so successful. The amount of time and effort put into every little detail is astounding. This is what sets him apart from other people trying to do the same kind of thing. One of my favorite videos he ever did was the one where he showed us behind the scenes how he makes a typical video. It was so much more work than I ever realized. James has worked hard, bringing his love for film making into a very fun genre, and he deserves everything he's gotten from it.

[@lorenzolyleabadia1669]

+ArmorOfGod To comment on the "other people part" Well, he is one of the pioneers of this kind of video on KZbin or in the internet itself. So, a lot of people actually copied him. Haha. Anyway, yeah, he should have more subscribers. He truly deserves it.

[@RuralGamer91]

I like the slow zoom in on Mike as he's trying to tell the stripper story! That's hilarious!

[@SteveNorwalt]

With that ending alone, we know James Rolfe is a true nerd.

[@VBplays01]

Trully fantastic 😂

[@darteinas]

That part about the strip club was fucking hilarious!

[@Dvonbringsdaknowledge]

Starting at 0:24 - 0:55 James starts talking to Mike the same way I do with my Mom on the phone.

[@ashir555]

+Dvon hehehehe

[@bloodwolf1175]

LOL

[@wiesbaden1]

Hahahah

[@Sumrandomdouchebag1]

You guys should make a 360 video sometime, where the viewer can pan the video all around. An AVGN episode in 360 degrees would be amazing.

[@PortalOfAwesome]

OMG That colecovision in the strip club story had me almost passing out from laughter. That sooooo should have been in the AVGN movie. Holy fuck.

[@silentaswang9968]

I love the story about the Colecovision at the ending. lol

[@MrGojira95]

13:35 - 14:29 SuperMarioLogan NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS!!! Because this is a recurring problem in his channel, and it is why I despise that channel!!! The lesson: Quality > Quantity

[@moveoutproductions1835]

Agree

[@DOSRetroGamer]

Mike has this unpleasant habit of being very unpatient when James is speaking. Let the man finish his thoughts, damnit.

[@chrisjackson9110]

Impatient. I agree though

[@LuliPinkPrincess]

I'm dealing with some problems in my life but watching this video made me smile again. Thank you for everything, guys. You are awesome!

[@Harcix]

+Luli Flores Back problems i guess?

[@GenerationDown]

We all are.

[@PowerTheGamer]

CAN'T WAIT TO COOK UP THAT COLECOVISION

[@travelreview5962]

I saw a reddit thread that was titled, "Is AVGN as good as it used to be?" Let me say it now. As long as it has James Rolfe and Mike Matei it will always be "as good." Over the years though I have grown to love content like this though as well and I assume that is true for many people.

[@brandonyouth5241]

Well said my guy

[@OgreJoe]

This aged well lol

[@Theealterego]

Bring back "You know what's bullshit"! Pleaseeeeeeee

[@mewantcool]

30:42: well...i know what I'm gonna say if my friends drag me to strip club and a hot girl dancing on top of me... "Yum...Colecovision…"

[@justus4justice]

[@nosoyarkano7624]

Then the girl gets off and calls you nerd

[@eklypse21]

[@woyland]

you could pull off a George Lucas and CGI Bugs feet in there

[@Taterzz]

mike was actually a decent actor in the board james stuff.

[@Sriyamix]

agree

[@StarReel]

Mike seems like the actor type, weird that he's actually not.

[@JoyfulJester6371]

Never juge a book by its cover

[@KarboniteKyla]

I'm surprised how organized the process is. It's like making a movie every video. I made some videos in my film making class and it's hard stuff.

[@johnnypierce1526]

I could can picture the Nerd at a strip club saying "I can't wait to get home and play Colicovision'' but not James. Lol

[@OtterWarlock]

Hahahaha, that story at the end killed me XD

[@iamironclaw]

+ACEPabloJames And yet you could post your comment? I call you a LIAR, sir!

[@OtterWarlock]

[@theguynamedgio]

anybody else want to see the storyboard animatics as cinemassacre extras?

[@regularsharp]

l love when people complain "WHY CAN'T HE MAKE AN AVGN TWO TIMES A MONTH!?!" Dude, lookit this shit...

[@GamesAndMoreGamesAndMoreGames]

I’m glad to have won the Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout script. The money going to a great charity is icing on the cake. Its fun to see them discuss the scripts after watching the episode.

[@BrandonRob206]

19:03 is a Really bad cut just saying!

[@ravager48]

14:00 To all the people bitching about "Why are there fewer AVGN episodes?" There's your answer, and he did it with subtlety.

[@chuckdawg1999]

I always thought of Mike as this omnipresent character that transcends the videos and the "real" world

[@thetman0068]

Same

[@Malicos]

+Charles A Emanuele I always thought Mike was there to appeal to the homosexual audience of the show. Just to remind the viewers that the show is inclusive of all sexual orientations.

[@GooseKnuckles]

Probably the ten millionth person to ask this, but... ... have you ever thought about growing some facial hair, Mike? I think it looks pretty good on you.

[@darkjak224]

+ItsAhMii It makes him even more handsome indeed

[@himasf]

I was gonna say the same thing. He's grown it longer than this and it was seriously hot.

[@FuckPunkers]

I wish you guys would talk more about old memories involving avgn and filming, this 30 min passed by so fast

[@Levi_Skardsen]

People don't rip on Jonathon Tronathon for taking ages between episodes because they know how much effort he puts into each one. Isn't it about time people treated James and Mike the same way?

[@danieldolf3844]

Exactly!

[@theguynamedgio]

+Levi Skardsen especially since hes the fuckin nerd the OG the ganddaddy of online game videos

[@grimTales1]

I enjoy Jon too but only started watching his videos quite recently, I didnt realise he takes as long.

[@ab14967]

Usually, it is around a month per video... which is actually A LOT of other people, so it is not too surprising by the length. Other people who release lets plays are usually a lot easier to release, so a week per video can be very surprising.

[@BigOlSmellyFlashlight]

Boomburst yeah he's gotten quicker last year since the flex tape video

[@blooman80]

the wizard of oz/dark side of the moon blew my damn mind

[@pollo20x6]

4:24 I never knew, but now I'll always notice it

[@Ocixious]

If I could be half as cool as James was when he brought up the Colicovision with a face full of a stripper's lower nether, I'd will die happy.

[@TimothyAndrewMorgan]

PLEASE REVIEW THE ARMY MEN SERIES BY 3DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@incognito3698]

+Random Stuff By Andrew I would shit my pants out of pure happiness if this was made.

[@TimothyAndrewMorgan]

+Will Kaepp ikr!!!

[@Lily_Valentine]

Ever since you guys did the James and Mike Monday episode with the Super Game Boy, I've been trying to figure out what you could do for a good Game Boy exclusive episode of AVGN and I'm positive that what I'm about to suggest is the best possible answer considering the Nerd has unfinished business with a certain specific franchise. That's right I'm talking about the Game Boy Castlevania games, which are quite possibly the worst Castlevania games in existence, aside from the "Erotic" Castlevania Pachinko machine. This includes Castlevania: The Adventure, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Castlevania Legends, and Kid Dracula.

[@stevenramseyer1106]

Yes

[@TheMMCchannel]

+Lily Valentine Good idea. ;)

[@grimTales1]

I think Mike did a playthrough of Kid Dracula some time ago, it looked a fun game :D Good idea on the other Game Boy games though :D

[@mattb9664]

This is all for such a good cause.. I'm sure this auction will do really well

[@ToprakSezginFromTurkey]

James mentions that Mike isn't a consistent character in the AVGN show, but Cooper wasn't a character until the movie. Just wanted to point that out, I have no problem with Mike not being in the movie because in school they usually force me to play soccer and I say: "I ain't havin that shit!"

[@colin419]

Gotta love that Colicovision

[@JohnSlopReacts]

Mike could be a fucking star if only he realizes he's about as good looking as Ben Affleck. I'm serious guys.

[@Azfar90]

Between a stripper girl and Colecovision, the latter is the most important and more fun to...play..

[@guitarheromorello]

I don't know what to do if I won one of these scripts. Frame them? Put them in a folder and put the folder in a safe?

[@funnymann8774]

I'll put it in my game room.

[@gertrudemcfuzz74]

Was James dressed in his Nerd outfit with a Rolling Rock in his hand when he mentioned his desire to play ColecoVision with a stripper's twat next to his face? I hope a dramatization of this takes place in a future episode.

[@TheFancyRoman]

Angry Sega Nerd and Angry Nintendo Nerd would have been awesome to see. Think about all the crossovers! Both of them talking about Winter Games! That would be so cool to see. Today its about who has the better games, this would be about who has the shittiest games.

[@WinderTP]

As a film student, it's quite interesting to see how you worked on the episodes, also brings back memories from 2008 lol too bad I spend all my money on uni and can't afford enough bid for one of the scripts :p

[@steelfairygaming]

+魂達電影公司 The curse of being a creative person- spending all your money on an arts school.

[@WinderTP]

I don't what is worse - spending all my money on an arts school, or being in an arts school but not actually doing art and instead just writing essays for 3 years lol

[@steelfairygaming]

魂達電影公司 Well, I went to art school for writing, so the essays weren't so bad. :P

[@roguecactus7]

Thumbs up for the stripper story. As for me and "exotic dancers", I never tip. 😸

[@iAnthuny]

[@jaxnean2663]

[@latenightwithhated1020]

"I can't wait to get home and hook up that ColecoVision" < That's my new line to throw ppl off. Hilarious story!

[@Mairusu]

The Colicovision. Lol.

[@funnymann8774]

Well as far as I see Mike seemed like a pretty great actor. I also love how he doesn't really want to be an actor or famous but yet he's in a movie and has over 2million people knowing who he is.

[@SkylarForester]

"Shit out crap, but don't make crap." Life advice from James Rolfe

[@gameroftheyear1000]

And to think at this point in time he’s only 31 episodes away from 200..........it’s amazing how time flies and who knows if 200 will be the finale as James has been doing this for over 15 years and has a very busy personal life along with the known ambitions to pursue other projects. Whether what happens, I’m here till the end of cinemassacre! For all we know, there is no end!

[@abigfatphony]

Any chance we could ever get more episodes of Overanalyzers?

[@LuggyBro]

if I could, I would definitely bid

[@hardstyle3196]

lol "Super Luigi"

[@LuggyBro]

:) what? Oh. Was that like because I'm Luigi and I can't bid? Because if it was, then I see your point. I meant like cos I'm not 18 so I can't bid....

[@kahaole123456]

Amazing job! Your wife should make a cameo, James. Women behind us make us what we are!

[@Stone8age]

I nearly lost my shit after that Colecovision story.

[@SIGHBOY6]

29:40 This gradual zoom is hilarious. I'm guessing it was to hide James' face (whatever it was doing). But it looks very funny XD

[@TristanDumantay]

James and Mike...two of the hardest workers on KZbin!

[@Musicradio77Network]

+Tristan Dumantay More like James Brown was the hardest man in show business and "Soul Brother #1".

[@TheCAWstudios]

As a huge fan of the series and someone interested in making a web series, this was really fascinating and informative! Thanks for sharing, hoping I can get my hands on the Battletoads script through the online bidding

[@grimTales1]

We need the Pissed Off Playstation Pointdexter in the next episode. AVGN: Who the fuck are you? PoPPD (in Retro PS1 gear): The Pissed Off Playstation Pointdexter AVGN: What the fuck?!

[@WES_Productions]

Only if Mike was the movie sidekick. The movie was going to be better than it is. AVGN Games episode: "".....who the fuck is Mike?" Mike is not really related with the nerd. He only apeared afterwards on the Lethal Weapon joke, but He was going to be a better sidekick than the one that found his way into the movie. He's not an actor?. Maybe he's not comfortable with it but he is. (James is not a really good actor either, he's a good director and writer). Plus, Mike does voices and Impressions very often with James on "James & Mike Mondays". He won't remember his lines?. He does remember movie lines pretty often and I'm sure that he's smarter than a lot of people who call themself "actors". It's too late now, but maybe there will be more episodes, another avgn movie and most probably, another James Rolfe's movie. Guitar Guy will be a cool sidekick too. (Kyle) By the way, I don't like the movie's sidekick because He has nothing to do with AVGN and He's really out of place there. Plus he was a bad actor. I'm not racist at all.

[@thema1998]

The ColecoVision stripper story had me dying from laughter! 🤣

[@LordMarlle]

The last few episodes have been some your best

[@ZaxxonHK47]

That was so funny about the stripper :D

[@jamesm6083]

honestly i think you guys could have had mike as sub-zero in mortal kombat mytholgies like spiderman in the spiderman episode. it would have been funny to see sub zero drop in midway (puns lol) and react to that game. Opertunity missed.

[@KartKing4ever]

I can't believe how high some of the bids already are. Good stuff.

[@Pulseczar1]

James must have been doing some hardcore blushing when Mike was talking about the stripper, since someone removed James's face from the shot.

[@SebbySenpai]

*BIMMY AND JIMMY?!*

[@MrXabungle]

I'd like to see AVGN do Escape From Atlantis. I can imagine some character breaking moments like Ikari and Big Rigs.
