Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 193: Sega Game Gear VHS Tapes. In the 1990's Sega and Howard Johnson's hotels teamed up for a weird promotion for the Game Gear. Kids could go "HoJo with Sega" during this summer promotion. Parents could rent a Game Gear the kids could play while on their vacation, or they could buy some of the Game Tips VHS tapes. These tapes are horrible, filled with basic walkthroughs, codes, and bull. They also have these wrap-around segments with a 90's surfer dude with a Foghorn Leghorn accent working at the Howard Johnson. He goes through almost every position on the hotel staff while making the life one of chubby businessman a living hell. The Nerd reviews this tape today and talks a little bit about the HoJo/Sega promotion.

I like how out of nowhere, he just says "I cut my thumb".

[@DialgaMarine3]

Not gonna lie, with all the cameos lately, I half expected the actual 90’s Game Gear guy to appear too lol

[@RGT85]

I remember this whole thing and trying to get my parents to stay at a Howard Johnson so I could get the Sega fun pack. Times were different. Lol

[@ChengTeoh]

Imagine being a customer at a HoJos trying to relax only to have a weird guy invading your personal space with strobe lights causing you to have constant epileptic seizures. Times were weird back then.

[@ProtoMario]

Missed opportunity for a knuckles Sandwich...

[@napstab100k]

You'd never want to be near a hotel after watching this.

[@Run187]

He's the angriest VHS tape nerd..

[@RavTokomi]

When he started hearing someone say "HoJo" in the background, I thought he was gonna have the original actor show up. That would have been awesome.

[@GreenEyedGerudo]

Loved this episode: too bad you couldn’t get this guy for a cameo

[@jordandill7863]

this legend is only 7 episodes away from hitting 200 episodes

[@heehoproductions8590]

When someone in the Nerd's basement shouted "Hojo" I legit thought he's got the long-haired dude as a guest star.

[@doolittle_]

That ending had me in tears! What a great episode. B-Dubs!

[@darkdrake0389]

The best part of these VHS is that if they were edited just a little differently they could have easily been horror movies about a man trapped in a hotel and being tormented by a Game Gear cult

[@SinkFlaMain]

As a hotel employee, this might be my favorite video of yours. I'm dying laughing here. 😂😂

Lol, we actually DID used to call Howard Johnson “HoJo” in our family. And I really don’t think it came from this, but I think they were pushing it a lot in the 90’s in general.

[@jonathanwilliams225]

I like how he came around on the nickname “B-dubs”

[@ivanvargas2425]

“Plumbers don’t wear ties” cameo just in time for the new physical release
