16:08 I don't think the breaking of the light was scripted. That "Oh shit." reaction seemed legit instead of acted. I like how he kept it in the video though.
@Moist Boner um... twerking has been around for more than three decades. It originated in the club scene of the 1980s. The whip, by contrast, came around the mid-2010s, even a little bit _after_ Miley Cyrus' infamous twerking incident with Robin Thicke. And it also has nothing to do with making a whipping motion. "Whip" is a slang term for a car.
@@Awesoman 🤦🏻♂️ Did you just seriously ask why Christianity, one of the 4 religious themes in the entire saga, has anything to do with Indiana Jones, when he goes after the cup of Christ in Last Crusade?
The people who made the Atari game are probably still alive. It would be cool to get their perspective on the decisions made when making those old games.
Yes! "Video game redemptions" would be a cool series, where the developers get to explain themselves. The guy who made E.T. for Atari got to tell his side of the story and I felt bad for him.
Well, he predicted the *whip*, but not the *nae-nae*. But even THAT is impressive, partially predicting something is just as good as predicting something in full.
@@uknownada I would see the whip being more used as a stun or counter move or tool to help with puzzles and obstacles for him. Indy would probably use his gun and punch for his basic attacks.
i love at 16:08 where James accidentally breaks the light with his whip, and so happy he didn't edit it out. makes me laugh every time. Besides how Indy walks like he just "dumped ass". bahahah
James actually liked that movie because HE IS A SMART PERSON WHO STUDIED FILMS AND KNOWS WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT!! the popular reasons for hating this movie are so stupid!!!
A decade later, this is still my favorite episode! The Nerd is funny as heck and I watch it once a month or so, it just never gets old. You honestly made a true classic of the internet-age! Be proud, man!
All these comments saying he must've been disappointed with Crystal Skull probably haven't watched his movie stuff. He liked it and doesn't think it's nearly as bad as anyone else says. Frankly, I agree with him. No masterpiece, but I came in expecting another silly Indy adventure. Besides the aliens, I wasn't disappointed.
Crystal Skull is far better than the fanboys suggest. If you simply edit out most of that silliness in the temple at the end and cut to them running away after having deposited the skull, it's actually a pretty decent movie.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade we say that... The is alright.. people just hating for real.. The refrigerator scene is the worst to me but I like the movie as a whole..
@@kenrickkahn And yet falling 50ft from a plane onto a jagged snowy mountain with a flimsy inflatable dinghy, riding down said jagged mountain and landing straight into a raging river without the dingy capsizing or anyone falling out is TOTALLY logical.
I think the whip crack was one of the top 10 funniest moments in the series, just because of the candid nature of it -- going out of character just for a brief moment because he broke a lamp, and James just decides to keep it in. Love it.
And there's also the fact that everyone still calls it a trilogy ... because you know ... there's the trilogy and ... well there is nothing else, is there ?
Well, to me IJ IV has the issue than SW VII - if you forget what franchise they belong too, they are fine movies. But when you consider them as the latest addition of their franchise, they are disappointing. They have different problems, but there is one terrible thing they have in common : they rely way too heavily on their predecessors using "hommage" scenes. I am going to watch IJ or SW to watch an IJ or SW movie, not to feel like I am looking at the family album with a nostalgic feeling ! And yet this is the feeling I had about both of these films.
Other than Indy himself and Marion, what was actually nostalgic about Crystal Skull that was more than an Easter Egg? I'm not looking to defend Kingdom, just to clarify your point.
In the 80s I remember finally beating Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari system and how proud I was figuring out the clues and tricks to make it through. Remember, back then there was no internet to tell you how to cheat or walk through the game. It was a puzzle. You just had to figure it out on your own. This was the challenge that made it interesting and fun.
I think he broke a light or something, lel... I had to rewatch it a couple times to figure out what happened and the very genuine " _oh shit_ " caught my attention immediately
Now I don't feel so bad that I kept getting stuck playing the "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" game as a kid. It was way too complicated for a simple Atari game. Thanks for showing all the stuff I missed back in the day.:-)
Hans Carabonala Temple Of Doom had WAY worse acting and less interesting characters and a weird cultist storyline that made less sense than having aliens in the story. I'll take the CG monkeys over the monkey brains any day, thank you. Besides, wasn't Crystal Skull supposed to be like a homage to the 50s sci-fi serials?
YES! FAR, FAR BEYOND! FARTHER THAN ANYONE CAN SEE, HEAR, OR FEEL! EVEN THE REALMS OF THE UNIVERSE WERE NOT MIGHTY ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE TERRIBLENESS OF... Of... of... it. It whose name shall not be spoken.
I love how James left him breaking the light in this, at least I assume he broke a light when he whipped the game and said "oh shit" seeing how the lighting slightly dimmed

To beat the Atari one you have to use a parachute on the screen where you're falling and go into a trap door on the side. That takes you to a room where you can't see anything and you just have to figure out the pattern to navigate thru it. I can't remember after that though. That was very long ago.
It took me a month to beat Raiders on the Atari 2600. Every day, a friend of mine would give me tips and pointers on the school bus each morning. Looking back, I often wonder, "How the hell did he figure any of it out on his own?
I honestly believe all the people defending Crystal Skulls were never real fans of Indiana Jones in the first place. Personally, everyone I know in my age group (22-25) hate the movie, whereas the only ones I know who like it are children (yes, 17 year old, you are a child). Since they didn't grow up when Indy was a big deal, they don't understand. Forgive them for they know not what they do
I was born in '78 and can relate with these videos. I'm 14 years late to your party but find all of your videos absolutely hilarious and truthful. Thanks for uploading all of these gems.
I can understand what Lucas and Spielberg were going for in Crystal Skull as a 50s B science fiction movie. Too bad the story and special effects didn’t fit the characters or series.
Yep, I'm a bit concerned about what the upcoming 4th Indiana Jones movie is going to be like after nearly 30 years without one. I hope they don't make Indiana Jones fight with the Manson family and a bunch of communists.
He cut out some of his review, I remember he talked about the other Last Crusade version for a bit, the one that made a legitimate attempt to show and play scenes from the movie, before getting into his rant about the monochrome one. What happened to that?
I have a theory. Nowadays, video game programmers, the people who usually come up with the controls, were generally gamers themselves as kids; they know what works and what doesn't. Back in the NES days they weren't; these types of games didn't exist when they were kids. They really had no idea how awkward and difficult some of this bullshit could be, and there wasn't much quality testing either so it's not like they got feedback about it until the games had been released. Of course that, only gives an excuse to the earliest examples of platformers... no excuse that the problem of stupid controls continues even to this day...
Heather Smith But you do make quite a lot of sense. Maybe the terrible controls are still there in some games. But the gameplay in the old games, yes it could be because they were actually having trial and error themselves.
It's just by pure fucking coincidence that there is a song few years later about the dance move. To be honest the whips, dabs, and nae naes are stupid and makes you look like an idiot!
Hikaru Studios And teens think its hip. I may be a teen (why did i say that?) but this dab and naenae is plain dumb and makes you look like you have problems.
"It doesn't know whether it wants to be a 3D or a 2D game so it ends up being a hybrid" Sonic Unleashed-Sonic Lost World in a nutshell. Only difference is those games range from decent to good.
I think the Crash games on the PS1is a better example, like in 3d sections you are just walking a corridor but in 2d sections you can still move in 3d.
At 5:42 i totally thought my device froze!!

Personally, everyone I know in my age group (22-25) hate the movie, whereas the only ones I know who like it are children (yes, 17 year old, you are a child). Since they didn't grow up when Indy was a big deal, they don't understand. Forgive them for they know not what they do
I was born in '78 and can relate with these videos. I'm 14 years late to your party but find all of your videos absolutely hilarious and truthful. Thanks for uploading all of these gems.
16:00 - I always try to make that face but I can't. I can't because I crack a smile and laugh because of it.
It's still the Indiana Jones trilogy
No it's not, there are four movies.
+MountainsOfDew oh trust me. I know that
MountainsOfDew Shhhhhhhhh. Let us dream
MountainsOfDew IT DOESN'T EXIST.
MountainsOfDew In a perfect world...there's 3.
16:07 Every kid that ever got a whip from the flea market back in the early 90's.
Geoscrewed 16:10 is the parents after they break something
Yep
Just here again after seeing the newest episode
4:04 is quite possibly the greatest line delivery the nerd has ever done.
I can understand what Lucas and Spielberg were going for in Crystal Skull as a 50s B science fiction movie.
Too bad the story and special effects didn’t fit the characters or series.
Kyle once said something like this in the theme song "he has pens but I never seen him write anything down" well now he has written down shit
4:16 I came back just to hear the delivery of “Is there ever such a thing as a DOOR?”
2000: Indiana Jones Trilogy
2020: Back to the Future Trilogy
Yep, I'm a bit concerned about what the upcoming 4th Indiana Jones movie is going to be like after nearly 30 years without one. I hope they don't make Indiana Jones fight with the Manson family and a bunch of communists.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade *5th movie there's already a 4th
God -- coming to watch all these again made me so happy.
He cut out some of his review, I remember he talked about the other Last Crusade version for a bit, the one that made a legitimate attempt to show and play scenes from the movie, before getting into his rant about the monochrome one. What happened to that?
This originally came out on screwattack. So he could’ve cut that out for RUclips.
That's the High Quality/DVD version.
He didn't cut that. That review was added in for the DVD release. This video is exactly what it originally was.
10 years ago and it is still a classic James is a outstanding producer
13 now...
No matter how many times I watch this episode I still laugh my ass off when James breaks his lamp with the whip.
The scene where he whips the game and said 'Oh shit' always is the best part.
Hahahahaha right?? I knew from the get go that was out of character and I loved it
Still watching these, still loving these. Getting me through the day.
7:32 did he accurately just predict the whip dance move??
The whip has existed for more than 5 years
@@astonished-scout this video is 12 years old
he didnt predict it, he invented it
I have a theory. Nowadays, video game programmers, the people who usually come up with the controls, were generally gamers themselves as kids; they know what works and what doesn't. Back in the NES days they weren't; these types of games didn't exist when they were kids. They really had no idea how awkward and difficult some of this bullshit could be, and there wasn't much quality testing either so it's not like they got feedback about it until the games had been released.
Of course that, only gives an excuse to the earliest examples of platformers... no excuse that the problem of stupid controls continues even to this day...
Heather Smith But you do make quite a lot of sense. Maybe the terrible controls are still there in some games. But the gameplay in the old games, yes it could be because they were actually having trial and error themselves.
0:50 imagine his disappointment in the coming days...
90% of the comments is "the nerd invented the whip dance"
10% of the comments are other
5% are saying Crystal Skull was bad.
It's just by pure fucking coincidence that there is a song few years later about the dance move.
To be honest the whips, dabs, and nae naes are stupid and makes you look like an idiot!
Hikaru Studios And teens think its hip. I may be a teen (why did i say that?) but this dab and naenae is plain dumb and makes you look like you have problems.
xGhOsT actually its 50% whip dance
And 50% hating kingdom of the crystal skull like their opinions are facts
90% of the comments are people bitching about the fourth movie
30% of the comments is people actually talking about the video
Im rewatching every single AVGN episode to not miss any references in AVGN 1&2 Deluxe
The animation for the snakes is remarkable.
"It doesn't know whether it wants to be a 3D or a 2D game so it ends up being a hybrid"
Sonic Unleashed-Sonic Lost World in a nutshell. Only difference is those games range from decent to good.
I think the Crash games on the PS1is a better example, like in 3d sections you are just walking a corridor but in 2d sections you can still move in 3d.
CodeNameZ Oh yeah, I've seen gameplay from those games. How weird
Sonic Generations and Sonic Rivals 1&2 too. And Sonic Blast (kinda)
Zel G. Generations was included since it came out before Lost World
+Leopold Litchenstein (SpongeBobfan1.5) Mega Man X7 also

14 years later and we still call it a trilogy.
My dad played the Atari one obsessively until he got to the end, but due to one mistake, he failed.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Which one?
Germano111 "Atari one"
room still better than xbox one
Was your birth the mistake?
I remember being so proud when I managed to stumble through the Atari game after a week or so while borrowing a friend of the family's Atari 2600.
At 5:42 i totally thought my device froze!! XD
This was one of the best videos from this guy.
i really love when he goes all multiple nedrgasm for the movie franchise, what with cosplay and references from the movies and whatever.
*You call this video game nerdiology??*
Which reminds me: i need to work on my whip martial arts.
Excuse me.
"It should be a dance"
Devo wants a word, James
14 years later and there are still only three Indiana Jones movies. 🤣
You haven’t heard of the 4th and 5th movies
@@ConnerCoffman306they don't exist
Now for the past 15 years we’ve been calling it the Indians Jones tetralogy. Now today is the last day we can call it that.
The Indiana Pentalogy? Or Pentagram of Indiana, lol?
@@rhydean693 I’m still saying Trilogy and pretending that the other 2 don’t exist.
It's more like "Indiana James"!
ngl in the beginning i have to admit it’s actually one of the few times that the nerd was actually excited
