My God, that green screen work is terrible. They look like they're trying to walk off bad malaria infections!

Actually the account it's posted on isn't Bores. It's a hater named "y2b2010", he posts videos that Bores didn't put on his account. Including the shameful "Back to the Past", an interview from E3 2009 where Bores asks a question he was already given an answer to, and unbelievably bad Mythbusters parodies.

He also put together "Random Clips" a series of IG clips that contradict his claims of being a gamer or funny, and "Random Comments" where he takes comments IG posted showing off how much of a douchebag he truly is.

I'm not watching that out of fear that my brain will short-circuit and I'll reflexively smash my skull into my monitor.

I'm thinking at best that it is an attempt at High Burlesque (intentional narm) but with nothing to make any particular comedic or silly side stand out so it just looks like somebody made a mythbusters episode on a 2 dollar budget.

There's something I always found funny. AVGN would release a video widely considered horrible or mediocre. Then Bores would review the exact same thing and suddenly "Huh, The Nerd's video wasn't that bad."

@Glowsquid

That was terrible. I reflexively went to another video 30 seconds into that one. Ugh, Chris Bores.

I don't have too much to say.

^^I can definitely see that happening but I can't think of any examples (The two AVGN videos I'd consider to be really terrible are the Birthday Blow Out and Game Glitches ones). Anything more specific?

AVGN's Odyssey review. I know a lot of people hated it, mostly for the Nerdy Turd. Then IG's review came out and suddenly a sentient piece of feces wasn't so bad.

AVGN's Mario is Missing review. Some people thought it was boring and wasn't in-depth. Though, considering how little there is to say about the games... Then IG's failed attempt at Sliding Doors prompted people to realize that The Nerd's review wasn't so bad.

Though, I've seen plenty of dumbass fans say "Oh, IG's reviews are better because they're in-depth". Yeah...

That Mythbusters "spoof" should be sent to Adam and/or Jamie for a laugh.

Yeah, you thought Shit Pickle and the Glitch Gremlin were bad characters? Compared to Tony(BANG-A-LANG) and Ronnie the Jew Skeleton, they don't seem too bad.

So he fires an unlicensed particle accelerator at a zombie, a walking lump of reanimated tissue, and it doesn't work?

He should probably bring that pack back to the store and get a refund...

It should be noted that the video posted was the remastered version of the Zombies Ate My Neighbors review. In the original, he didn't say "it's not that bad", he had a long rant about the giant ants, and he didn't explain the "jacking off the cheerleader" joke.

It was the first IG video I saw, hated him the moment he said "This game deserves to be chucked into the nearest meat grinder"

Now for me, the intro bit sucked, right off. I could go line by line over how each bit sucked... so I will but later. Still I held on until he got to the actual game review and I thought that wasn't bad, I found the Barnes & Noble joke funny but it slowly slide off into badness, onwards to terrible. The weird exasperation with having to collect the neighbours and then "cunty bitch". These come out as really weird as it doesn't seem like he's even reviewing the game at this point, just describing it then he turns all Mel Gibson on us.

The lame rebudded Don't Explain the Joke issue is covered by others on this wiki. What I will say is "Lost potential". Next joke about the popsicles- really that was never going to be funny unless some good effort what put into this and no effort what put into it whatsoever. Cue boring thing with Umbrella corp. Complaining about non-zombie classic horror monsters (and giant babies)- why? Then we finally get to bad Woody Allen impression skeleton. The impression is painful to listen to, it's just a single joke with too many lines. Perhaps he'd seen that somewhere but forgot actual writers put other stuff in the lines to make separate notes of comedy.

Anyway, I just didn't make it past Ronny.

As I've said, I can only watch the MSTs before I get angry at the sheer, unadulterated fail.

I've watched the MUSCLE review several times, because it boggles me how much sheer stupidity is in that review. Tony and "What the fuck's a muscle" is bad enough, but the sheer amount of stupid things this guy says just astounds me.

First of all, he complains a lot about things that are mostly due to the limitations of the NES: the one that most rankles me is his complaint that he hates the sound, and wants some announcers put in the game, as if the NES is capable of speech samples that don't sound like they're coming out of a soup-can-and-string contraption, underwater. His little skit just looks awkward as well, as he just parrots JR catchphrases.

Second, I get the impression that he's reviewing MUSCLE in comparison to today's wrestling games. The whole announcer thing? Tony complaining about a lack of pyros or intro music? Crowd noise? Graphics? The small number of characters? Tony mimicking Dwayne Johnson? I get the feeling Bores never played a wrestling game since WWE Smackdown.

Also, it's funny how he says Pro Wrestling is "vastly improved" from MUSCLE, despite MUSCLE having more playable characters, two more rings, and a little bit more variety than Pro Wrestling.

Finally... This review has the most gratuitous use of the Ring Kings "blowjob" sequence I have ever seen. Does this man's mother approve of all this?

Ah yes, that review. This one we learn he's a major graphics whore as the entire review criticizes the presentation rather than the gameplay.

The remastered version only had 3 noticeable differences. He removed the "no special moves, no combo moves" line since this is an outright lie. It's like he didn't even play this game for more than a minute. He explained the Ring King joke (originally he just asked what they were doing, here he outright says it). And he reshot the ending rant that doesn't rip-off AVGN's TMNT review at all... wait.

It's funny that you say "does his mother approve of this". There's a You Tube user named "Lady Buggin 777" white-knighting him, claiming to be his mother. If this is true, then the only word that comes to mind is LOSER.

One thing I've noticed is that all of the "jokes" have short pauses after they're made. It's like he planned to put a laugh track or something.

Also, the comparison to NBA Jam when talking about the secret characters. Lolwut?

Etheru Since: Jul, 2009
#124: Jul 26th 2010 at 9:33:16 PM

He has a short pause, then he looks at the camera, he's expecting the viewer to laugh.

He might as well show a blinking applause sign at that point. Then again, that would be funny in a lampshading kind of way and we can't have that.

And I called several of his jokes in the MUSCLE review. It's bad if you can predict humor, it's even worse if you can predict it by sarcasm
