Makes sense James is good playing with boxing gloves - he's more accustomed to shitty controls than anybody else

[@ivarith6825]

dumbasszero HAHAHAHA Agree!

[@sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608]

Haha yeah it also probably had to do with hand size a bit too; like there would have been certain spots in the glove easier to press from that his hand might have reached. I understand that's a bit of a stretch and hard to explain, but I've done something like this before xD

[@Blueflag04]

Agree

“It would be easier to pick fly shit out of pepper..... *WHILE WEARING BOXING GLOVES!*

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

Ah, the Silver Surfer episode. Classic.

[@Phyrrax]

Thats actually my favourite moment, no other AVGN quote made me laugh so hard. Its just the way he says it that gets me.

[@thepotatoking2504]

Now I know where nerds genius comes from

[@alexlorimer2141]

it would actually be easier to go out side during a thunder storm and dodge rain!

[@redrex10]

Honestly this should be a speedrun category for punch out

[@koloth5139]

And then the pinnacle of skill, blindfolded with boxing gloves.

[@kbottrill1]

Someone should send this video to Sinister1 and see what he thinks of the challenge

[@jackimus8987]

@@koloth5139 don't tempt me!! XD

[@Bobby8451]

Lol, only James would try something like this.

[@michaeldiaz9999]

It's why we all love him.

[@rleonard32389]

And I am guessing Mike is the only one stupid enough to think this was a good idea!!!

[@MetalSmasherGaming]

I want to see him try to land the plane in Top Gun with boxing gloves on.

[@melliott604]

Your grandfather would be proud.

This is the kinda thing you do with your friends after a few beers.

A few shots of Whiskey later xD

[@kylezdad916]

I'm pretty impressed by James, Ninja Gaiden doesn't look like it's played by someone who is wearing boxing gloves.

[@Jamesamong007]

If you guys can get in contact with the guy who made the giant NES controller years ago, get one built and play a full game of Super Mario Bros with it, James at the D Pad, Mike at the B and A buttons

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

James007HungerZone It would be like that scene from Big (movie) with Tom Hanks playing the giant piano with another guy, but with an Advantage controller instead👌

[@gglobensky]

Mike's reaction when he started to play with the gloves was the best. He understood how he underestimated the challenge!

[@vecraude]

Wheres my obligatory trying to land the jet in topgun with boxing gloves? I was really hoping james would try that since he tried landing that jet with just about everything.

[@Untouchaable]

James is better with the glove than most I've seen play the regular way.

[@martinwhite8974]

True lol

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Have you tried using the NES-Advantage? The joystick and big buttons should be easier to use with boxing gloves.

[@LazyGyro]

They should use the smallest possible controller for the best result

[@thrilhous]

That controller sounds like it's about to break from the strain.

[@mansmo9513]

And when James takes off the gloves, he'll beat every NES game blindfolded, with the greatest of ease.

[@timvanderlee4110]

Mike does it blindfolded, sitting in another room with an extra long extension cord. No pun intended.

[@jamesbancroft2467]

Tim van der Lee what pun??? lol

[@timvanderlee4110]

@@jamesbancroft2467 that's cinnemasscre fanbase lore hahaa

[@matthewlindsey5638]

One could say when the gloves come off he gets serious.

[@icyyoopy3020]

When gloves made for physical altercation work better for playing video games than an actual glove made for playing video games does..

[@nightmarefuelgamer8981]

I'm surprised they didn't heart this comment.They definitely should have.

[@RealCrazyDiamond]

This episode is legit the best you've done. Definitely the most fun to watch, and it seemed like you guys had the most fun with it

[@mik2thae]

Haha! You can just hear the controller squeaking from the amount of pressure put on it from the gloves

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

0:19 James, you oughta make a whole character out of the look you have now. Boxing gloves included.

[@matriaxpunk]

He could easily be an SNK fighter

[@miker.9138]

I want a whole video of Mike trying to enter codes into games with boxing gloves on.

[@elvisrobotbeta3299]

Mike R. I totally agree!! It'll be so fun when he tries to press select for changing the characters!!

[@lordsorcerer3885]

Remember your mantra...

[@KTF0]

Wearing Boxing Gloves is more playable than the Powerglove.

[@jessiehogue.]

Yes, but the Power Glove is soooo baaaaaad....

[@jfive1182]

Your Grandfather was a legend i see where the Nerd get it from lmao😂😂😂

[@tonyl7715]

11:39 their reactions are priceless 😂😂

[@JayFreely]

I was genuinely suprised that this wasn't an obscure nes peripheral

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Keep it up! A blindfolded, boxing glove run would be insane.

[@mikethole2877]

Hahahaha! I love Mike's sad, resigned sincerity when he says "...I don't like it" at about the 6:20 mark.

[@AtlasBlizzard]

The hilarious thing is that this is still more functional than the Power Glove.

[@nicolemcnichol5387]

I just had surgery today and I've been feeling absolutely terrible but, omg. Coming home to this video and watching it is seriously making me feel so much better. Love you guys, thanks for the fun video to watch while I want to die ^^

[@nowonmetube]

What kind of surgery? Where?

[@nicolemcnichol5387]

@@nowonmetube It was nothing serious, thankfully ! A Tracheal Shave in my neck area to, (hopefully); make my extremely prominent Adam's apple that I have always been extremely self conscious of less noticeable. Feeling a lot of pain in my neck and it just made me really happy to have a funny and comfy video to come home to while I recover.

[@CuriousReviewers]

Was afraid it's going to be James and Mike Tuesday. We have been watching you for so many years now, that it became a tradition. I guess it is time to finally leave a comment. Thank you so much for your work. Your AVGN episodes inspire to create, J&MM episodes make Mondays brighter, and your Movie reviews are awesome series too. (I do miss Board James though) Anyway, don't change guys and thank you!!!

[@SavageGreywolf]

Dear James Bad, How do you game with boxing gloves on? With crap Stiny

[@GenY42]

Strong Sad (as head member of the Deleteheads) would correct you, it shouldn't be Stiny, it should be Abdi La Rue

"That's why games were not meant to be played with boxing gloves" Pretty much a given :D

[@Jimmy_G412]

This was great, you guys should try a challenge where you wear those glasses that mimic being drunk.

[@nowonmetube]

Holy shit thats good!

[@jimmartin516655]

Awesome. Now try 2 player contra with boxing gloves.

No coincidence that as soon as i get into boxing, and started watching mike tyson fights, all sorts of boxing references and this pops up!! Thank for the laughs since 07! I was in elementary school lol!

[@AlpineWoods]

Played the whole thing with boxing gloves? Inconceivable!!!

[@DrewskiGames24]

7:18 Thanks for the jumpscare warning, lol

[@dylanhuculak8458]

I had forgotten that James was playing with boxing gloves, until Mike finally mentioned it.

[@awakenedfurmissile4617]

Hit em with the old 1 2 James: Nah it's B A

[@jerrellb8402]

I would love to see James and Mike play a game like bloodborne or maybe the dark souls games. More so bloodborne because it has more of a Lovecraft feel

[@RyllenKriel]

Now play Jaws with your feet while wearing swim fins, or Balloon Fight with animal balloons tied around your hands or Ice Climber with ice picks...or Super Mario Brothers by throwing turtle shells at the remote!

[@TheUnseenBlade_]

Why when i saw the title thought that the boxing gloves would be the actual controller? lol

[@ForceMaximus84]

This style of playing really needs a montage.

[@The_Vanished]

Next, play friday the 13th with a hockey stick

[@Mr.Morden]

That controller is squeaking and cracking lol

These controllers have a tough life.

James don't need the Power glove. His boxing gloves are the Power glove. Also at 11:39 Classic Super bowl moments

Should play punch out with sensors like a wii nunchunk lol

[@bradpaton3927]

That's how I played self-titled Punch-Out!! On the original Nintendo: Wii; apparently, it's mucHarder than pressing buttons alone which I rarely, if ever, did.

[@rickardo5529]

So his grandpa is where he learned to swear!

He ain't picking fly shit outta pepper, but playing punch out with boxing gloves on is a close second.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

The real question we're all thinking... Can you land the plane from Top Gun NES while wearing boxing gloves?

[@silverwings21]

17:58 Use your nose, like how you are suppose to input that code in Shadows Of The Empire.

[@zogmorp]

oh, I assumed these were some gimmick "boxing motion controller" golves made just to play Punch-Out with from back in the day.

[@mcfarlanect]

James said it right as I was thinking it, the ninja should have totally made this part of his training regimen

so this is what knuckles feels when he plays...

[@twithnell]

"Oh yeah, it's way better than the power glove..."

13:23 The same as the scene where Indy rolls off the side of a tank, and gets a strap around one of the guns on Last Crusade. And then he climbed up no problem XD

[@BABYSNAKEASSMASTER420]

Great reference! That one takes me back.

[@Usario321]

InsomniacMatt I don’t get it

[@medotaku9360]

This should probably become an event category at some gaming competitions. Like how at Rubik's Cube solving competitions they have categories like; underwater, blindfolded, one handed, two cubes at the same time, etc.

Getting Mike to try and type the Tyson password at the end was gold. XD

[@las10plagas]

the way you look, mike! the expression on your face, when wearing the gloves, is like a cat with something weird on it's head. total confusion xD

[@kusanaginico]

Cant wait for speed runners to add the boxing gloves category

[@vintagefeelsFL]

Use the U-Force and play Punch out while wearing the gloves.

[@TauGeneration]

Yes

[@DarkMirria1]

That would be amazing.

[@vintagefeelsFL]

@@DarkMirria1 I've done it but its kinda difficult. The gloves just take up too much space within the area you have thats usable on a u-force. MMA gloves would work though providing you didnt have a bear sized paw. Mo cap boxing in the arcade was essentially this but in full size.

[@OsricRexor]

What's Kyle up to these days anyway? Feels like ages since I've seen him in any videos

[@ronkeylinarizini8049]

Mikes moral support throughout the video is genuinely wholesome. "GET EM" "JUST KEEP IT UP" "OOOOOOH"

[@Amcor09]

'Picking the fly shit out of pepper' is an old expression to highlight ones over-pickiness of some detail. James' granddad presumably added the 'with boxing gloves' part to make it more amusing, which it is!

[@ragejoona431]

It hasn't happened yet, but let's just wait the day when Mike beats Ninja Gaiden with boxing gloves in a live stream.

Were you born in a closed garage with an automobile running inside of it for a prolonged period of time? Lead paint chip snacks ringing any bells at all?
