Binging Bad Influence | Breaking Bad Influence | Series 1

[@mrc1190]

You really would think I'd have better things to do with my time, but hey ho, here we are. There were 40 games reviewed. The average for the boys was 3.5 and the girls came in at 3.8. So yeah, Violet was basically right. Boys scores/game count: 1 - 1 2 - 4 3 - 14 4 - 16 5 - 5 Girls scores/game count: 1 - 0 2 - 0 3 - 11 4 - 22 5 - 7

Thank you putting together these stats.

[@Kevthestoner]

Love how both of those are over 50% :D They really seperated themselves from the review competition

[@Xander-gu4eu]

This is amazing. You have had me laughing for hours. I watched the Games Master binge, and then I came straight to this.

Rolf Harris. 😅 I'm fn dead

Nam Rood was like an off-brand Adrian Edmondson.

[@bleddjones]

Guess you could say they reached the…BOTTOM…of the barrel…👀

[@That_Revenant_Guy]

They probably asked him to do it, and he told them to piss off.

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

I spat out my drink when you said Nam Rood was a cross between a skinhead and a snooker player. Well played.

[@counterfeitclone]

No you never.

[@brun4775]

I thought it was Lex Fridman before he started shilling for right wing tech bros.

[@dinobotswoop]

Reminds me of a knock off Ade Edmondson

[@neilgodfrey2669]

The snooker player being Ronnie O’Sullivan

[@DuggyDarko]

He looks like Alexei Sayle with aids

[@terrylodge4846]

I can't believe that at aged 44, I learned that "Nam Rood" was "Door man" backwards. That being said, it wasn't exactly relatable for a 12 year old. 😂

Drifted asleep to this after eating too much cheese in a hotel in Estonia, funny old life!

[@tobysmith8925]

I've only recently discovered this channel, but thank god I did. The editing and commentary is hilarious. It must have taken ages to put this all together, but I am so glad you did. Keep up the good work, looking forward to working my way through your back catalogue 👍

[@ScottishEVOwner]

Thank you sir. Tears rolling down my face. Excellent job. Funniest thing I’ve seen in a long while. Thank you again.

[@TruckerJenkins82]

I'd just managed to get my four year old off to sleep. The problem was she was in my arms on the couch, proper uncomfy position and I decide to put this video on. I lasted 1 minute before i was in the middle of uncontrollable laughter, trying my best but to no avail to supress it. She woke up. I blamed earth's oldest teenager and his no-no bits. Feck me you're a funny bloke. Thanks for this absolute gold content.

I'm sorry for waking the baby! May I suggest some soothing ZX Spectrum loading noises to get them to sleep?

I've watched these episodes to death but this is a great excuse to... do it again! Thanks for the commentary!

[@thesaintirl]

Alan Partridge has used the expression "jurassic park" to say something was awesome.

[@Zomerset]

Brilliant video. Thank you. The commentary had me laughing all the way through. I had completely forgotten about this program.

[@combatking0]

2:26:48 - Now the ball's in my court. Violet scans in Jaw Breaker, who has 4000 HP. The device is in either C1 or C2 mode, and now that it has a Warrior scanned in, it's waiting for a Wizard card. A Wizard card that Violet never picks up. So when she scans in the barcode from the cornflakes box and claims it gives her "4000 energy points", nothing has actually happened and she's just reading out Jaw Breaker's HP stat.

[@peterdwyer6118]

"Big denim nightmare" woke my cat up with a huge lol.

[@raggersragnarsson6255]

We only watched this because of Violet. Admit it. It was serious cringe even back then, but Violet saved the show along with our teen hormones wanting to see her on screen. This look back is very funny, thanks.

[@uberbok]

Ah memories! I went to school with some of these kids, which made your commentary extra fun!

[@DarkBlissful]

This was pretty jurassic.

[@vermis8344]

Took place 150 million years ago? Feels like it.

[@Grieva-SeeD-]

Andy looks like one of the Weasley twins. I had totally forgotten about this program and man, does it really show that the target audience was younger than what Games Master targeted. Great vid though, had me chuckling all the way through.

[@imaca6538]

I swapped super castlevania for dragons lair on the snes at the local swap shop. A decision that still haunts me today

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

Emulation, you can pay for your sin via that route. If you have a semi decent PC

[@imaca6538]

😂😂😂😂The commentary is top tier!

[@ActeonEtharius]

I won't rest until Violet, Andy, the studio audience and fuck it, even Fresh are dragged kicking and screaming into a studio and they give me the exclusive on Rock Drummer 2. I'm not letting Bad Influence of all things be the genesis of trolling!

[@leod-sigefast]

Wow I used to watch this as a teenager...not so much by choice... more from lack of TV options, although looking back, the 90s were a golden age for gaming and this and Games Master were classics! Your dry humour really made it hilarious! Nam Rood definitely looks like he was a skinhead extra in edgy French noir classic La Haine (1995).

[@neilok17847]

You're doing the Lord's work here

[@Cunaverse]

Hey I just wanted to comment to share my appreciation for the stuff you make, I started watching this straight after seeing your gamesmaster series and they have been so helpful over last few days for chill watching and laughs while dealing with insomnia Not sure how to describe it but your comedic style, commentary and editing combined with the cozy nostalgia of looking at older media has been such a joy and I appreciate you showing me something I wouldn't have discovered otherwise Cheers for all the effort you do and excited to check out next episodes

[@kiphakes]

You are a brilliant human. I've very much enjoyed finding your channel.

[@Justlistenflows]

Terrahawks legit scared me when I was a kid

[@Lordborak316]

I can't believe they got away with that on a daytime kids show!

[@Zomerset]

😂😂😂different era of tv.

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

I cannot believe I watched this in it's entirety in ONE go! Your visual and audio editing as well as your insults were hilarious :D Gona put some time aside tomorrow for series 2 GREAT JOB! :D

Nothing like having childhood memories ruined by a grumpy, sarcastic Northerner... Triassic!

[@cull15]

This is a Jurassic moving screenshot. I Love your channel, it brings back so many memories 👍🏻

[@mattfantastic9969]

FINISHED. An absolutely Jurassic video. Sad its over so soon

[@RoseTintedSpectrum]

Will be adding the other series over the next few days

[@dacanesta]

You are really, really, really good. Very well written and presented! Watched all 4 seasons of BBI (lazy) and gonna see what else you've got! Excellent stuff.

[@tragiclantern]

A while ago, I looked up 'furtler'. It is someone who cuts holes in life-size standees and, erm, enjoys themselves. Nam Rood was next level.

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

So if I purchased a life size cardboard cut out of rachel riley and put in a flesh light in the correct area, would I be close to your description?

[@TJCGAMING01]

Furtler means Techie. Not sure what you were looking up but it isn't that 😂

[@tragiclantern]

@TJCGAMING01 Oh! Well, I looked it up in the 90s as a teenager with no internet. It's possible I was misinformed! Yikes.

[@burbercat3558]

2:17:25 The kid behind Andy on the right. I always kind of assumed the kids were probably playing something but that kid is looking right into the camera while he's pretending to play.

[@alexojideagu]

1:21:38 wow how did they get away with that on a daytime kids show on TV.

[@thedemonkingdurst]

I'm so glad I came across your content, scouting through the internet to find new things to watch can be so hit and miss but I've certainly found a hit here and one for which I'm sticking around for. Also, you've almost killed me off a few times making me laugh like an absolute mad man but if there's a way to go, it's not the worst 😂

[@TheMacManiac]

I did actually used to video tape my Mario paint masterpieces. Also played bill & Ted on the gameboy too. Love these videos, great trip down memory lane with awesome commentary, kept me in hysterics the whole way through. Big thanks to the video creators for this.

[@brun4775]

Even as 9 year old who loved watching gamesmaster, I couldn’t sit through this show as a kid because the feeling of cringe was just too painful to bear.

[@jean-lucpicard5510]

I get where you're coming from. It's too tame for my liking.

[@simonRTJ]

i might be wrong but i think Violet is responsible for the media kickback on false clams and scare tactics. shes always been a great voice in the gross media of misinformation.

[@WDeranged]

Violet was bang tidy.

[@lofilevelling7830]

I'd Datablast her

"Rolf Harris doesn't have much to worry about" If Rolf was in the studio, it would be everyone else worrying 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well, my morning has taken an unexpected twist. Here I thought I was going to be productive but no... I'm going to watch reviews of 90s british television.

[@Ghostbusters-kk4lj]

just stumble across your channel i don't even remember this show i grow up watching CITV i be 40 this year love gamemaster i remember Gamesville back on sky one

[@TonySpike]

Yes ....Nams name was actually explained by the actor that played him (think it was in the magazine but i cant remember, it only lasted 2 issues though so probably not) But it IS a play on how he lets you in the "back door" with his cheats ...hence Door Man

[@Buster_Piles]

Sounds very gae

[@lonewolfheart1697]

Your commentary is hilarious and, frankly, the only way I can get through the poor, naff, kiddy version of Gamesmaster... not a single 🐓 joke in sight...

[@AgtX999]

Alan Partridge exclaimed "Jurassic Park" as a superlative.

[@TheCultofshiva]

Wow as a kid you were so excited just to see a glimpse of games and consoles that you didn't realize that these shows were probably created by people who had no clue about kids or games or anything. Classic stuff !

[@Benjamin.Jamin.]

Eh. This really feels like it was produced by people who knew kids well, it's CITV ofc, and games reasonably well. But it's desperate to be edgy in that 90s way and feels cheap and slapped together a bit.

[@jackdubz4247]

The director wouldn't need to tell me to stare at Violet...

[@YouTubeMrP]

This is a good video. It’s very playable. The graphics are really good and the music isn’t annoying. I had a lot of fun and I would recommend it to everyone. My only complaint is that it’s not violent enough. I like this sort of thing. 5 stars.

[@nickgatrell5019]

‘Oh oh Andy getting on his high horse what’s this all about!! Had me on the floor laughing 😂 soo much! Fantastic videos good sir👍👍👍

[@Resimaster]

To Andy's credit he's really looked after himself, as if you see him today he looks EXACTLY the same.

[@jackdubz4247]

Agreed. Not bad for a man hitting 60.

[@Lordborak316]

Totally Mesozoic! Me and my brothers basically took the piss out of this even back in the day. Just had a great evening watching your vid 😂. Ghost girl and Anti Violence boy are my favourite. I too was terrified by Terrahawks!

[@Infamousuk]

This is absolutely Jurassic 🎉 I forgot how funny this whole thing was/is Me and my friend we still quote zee from a time he went to look at the 3DO and he told us that the 3DO was the most powerful thing ever and said "here's the proof" and what they show is some shitty wire frame picture .. it made us laugh for about 20 minutes and ever since whenever anyone in the industry tries to tell us something is amazing we find ourselves saying .. and here's the proof .. it's mainly aimed at Todd Howard 😂

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

It was the most powerful console ever made, for a couple of months at least.

[@leecroft1983]

Wait a minute, I think I might have found the music group ‘Brooklyn’ on Spotify… I think they might have went with the name ‘Brooklyn Bounce’ The black guy kinda looks like the main rapper (lol) when he was younger and the large built white guy behind looks like the other guy in the stock image they used on Spotify.

[@MrVictorRong]

Ha loved this. Although slightly disturbed that Andy Crane is only 12 years older than me....when I was a kid he seemed ancient. How does that work?! 🤣

I was an avid viewer of this, and still have a full set of tapes. But you know, even at the age of 7, I didn’t know why the hell they got Andy Crane presenting it. Maybe he was meant to be a nerd foil for Violet, who was known as a punk type.

[@FFVison]

I do remember King Arthur's World. Heck, I have a rip of that midi on my phone as an unused ringtone. One of those ones I had from aeons ago, but never really used for very long and just switched to something else. I never knew it was surround sound and thinking back, I don't know how this would have worked as I don't remember the SNES having more than white and red audio connectors for left and right channel. I do also remember the game being pretty fun.
