Gil Lucas I agree as someone who’s been here since the beginning, and it’s truly an honor that he still does this for us. He’s never given up on his dream to make content and he’s a genuine good dude and I wish him all the best and his family.
So. When i was a child 10+ years ago in highschool we did a production of The Wizard of OZ. The prop master forgot the bucket of water to kill the witch so dorthy had to kick the witch to death... on stage...
Legend has it, that game is still stuck plastered to the ceiling with the shit. People say if you poke it, it will release it's vile smell within the area and cause a reawakening of this horrible game.
Man, Mike is really good doing characters, years ago I thought they were all different persons. Even the voices are really different between all the characters he does.
Start this video at 0:22. Start Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Mute this video. Enjoy. Trust me. James purposely synced up a lot of the images to match the lyrics.
These videos give me such comfort.. Remembering my youth, no responsibility, pure joy of getting a Nintendo or new console, that feeling of waking up in the morning and knowing you have new games to play. Sigh.... innocence.
Love the intro James, we appreciate you so much! So great to see all the effort you put into editing all of the fan covers, it’s clear you appreciate us as well.
I would've made a Wizard of Oz game like that and then at the end when you get to the wizard it just says "No one sees the wizard!" and then goes back to the main menu.
"...And then, one day you find -ten- twelve years have got behind you." Thank you for the Floyd love in this episode. It is very much appreciated. The sync up with _Dark Side of the Moon_ was very nice.
You put so much work into making your intros interesting. I was just watching the Winter Sports one where you went back through all the title cards you've ever made. Combining all the covers of your song here was another genius one. I watch them all, even though I've seen all the episodes multiple times, because I know each one is going to be a little different. It's just a cool little detail I noticed that really shows the love put into these videos.
It's added in there because the video is made to sync with Dark Side of the Moon

It was trying to land on an aircraft carrier, but the pilot realised he can't do it, so he pulled up the air plane and somehow he came here... In other words: I have no idea!
it's a reference to a scene in where you can see an out of focus person in the background who appears to be suspended in the air. for years it was speculated by some that a man had hung himself on set. this theory was later debunked by later releases of the film in which the enhanced video quality revealed that it was actually an extra posing as a large bird.
+Jennytake Aride Oh please. The only thing "inappropriate" about AVGN is the language, and kids were saying worse on the school playground by the time I was in third grade. To suggest you should be "18+" to handle James' content is absurd. That kid would have to be horribly sheltered. I would personally say that if your parents/guardians haven't raised you to be mature enough to go on the internet unsupervised by the time you're 12 or so, there's a problem.
I finally found it. The way that guys sings, "he'd rather EEaAT" has been seared into my mind for ages, and I completely forgot which episode it came from.
Letting governments be the only ones with weapons is great idea, because governments have never committed acts of mass murder; genocide; and ethnic cleansing. Ha, ha, ha
It’s honestly so heartwarming how much James loves his fans and the intro is the perfect testament to how great of a content creator he is
Gil Lucas I agree as someone who’s been here since the beginning, and it’s truly an honor that he still does this for us. He’s never given up on his dream to make content and he’s a genuine good dude and I wish him all the best and his family.
He's been a consistently amazing content creator for over a decade. I'm a fan.
More like was.
Bob Kolterjahn what do you mean?
This was one of his older episodes.
So. When i was a child 10+ years ago in highschool we did a production of The Wizard of OZ. The prop master forgot the bucket of water to kill the witch so dorthy had to kick the witch to death... on stage...
Nice
@@stevenheron1 I believe him
Kino school play
You were a child in high school?
That sounds badass actually.
Brutal
"Remember the scene from the movie where Dorothy kicks the shit out of a giant crow wearing a vest?"
Classic
Loved that part.
Oh that Dorothy hahaha always fallin through the ground. Hahaha good times man good times!!!
SuperPaper Tanner Amazing. I'd pay all my money just to watch that film again. I just loved that part.
Yeah I thought about it and isn't the crow wearing a red vest from Dumbo? I think the game animators just got the Wizard of Oz and Dumbo Mixed up xD
Personally I would believe it if she did, she bitchslapped the Cowardly Lion into submission.
Probably one of the nerd’s most memorable episodes.
its probably my favorite next to bill and ted's adventure
batman and bugs bunny are pretty dang good too
Not memorable for being good though that lion is just obnoxious
ثم
Nah bugs bunny’s birthday blow out and crazy castle are better.
I never noticed how much James is struggling to keep a straight face at 6:01 untill now.
James is notorious for being able to maintain his bearing lol. Part of the charm :)
I also just noticed that and I've seen this review like 50 times
nils920 like in the original when Judy garland struggled to keep a straight face
He's struggling even more in the ikari worriers review.
nils920 me either xD
"To navigate this place is confusing as all hell."
"Yeah, hell's confusing."
I've watched this probably a dozen times and just noticed that.
Not for Helltaker. XD
this episode completely changes when you sync it up with dark side of the moon
i love how this is a 420 comment XD
Haha, thats what Im doing right now
Idk if I should
Comment of the year right here 😂🙌🏼
:v
"This is the last room in the game"
"About f**king time"
I died
Nerd: "How are you supposed to get under this flame?"
Lion: "Piss on it"
I wish my friends would play dress-up with me...
Samsquamsh Danny Devito
That part was hilarious
Lol
I started watching AVNG about a week ago.... now I find myself on a mission to watch all of them. James Rolfe is the shit.
Welcome buddy! James Rolfe is awesome. Check also: Board James, You know what's bullshi?! and Monster Madness
Angry Video Name Gerd?
Entropy3ko I've been checkin' them out lately. Nostalgia lane.
If I was given a wish, I would wipe my AVGN memory clean and watch all the episodes again
I play it on RUclips all day for something to watch, I love all of James's material.
I absolutely love how James is trying not to laugh when the lion shows up XD
James getting offended by the lion swearing is the most ironic thing ever.
"Hey man did you just swear?!?!"
Love that line so much 😂
i think he just didn’t expect it lol
I wouldn't say that he got offended. He just got caught off guard! 😆
11:01 The way James says damn just kills me
Cowardly Lion will always be my favorite Mike Matei role
Rick Oakmaple Mike Matei is da bomb yo
Noah Levy Even James has a hard time trying not to laugh during this :)
All of his roles are good lol, The Joker and Bugs Bunny are up there too
That doesn't look anything like Mike Matei. I'm pretty confident that's a different person.
+Mike Williams It says in the credits at the end that its Mike but I didn't recognize him either.
"it's confusing as all hell"
"yeah, hell is confusing"
Well you should know we live here
Wow, that intro was great. A true testament to how the Nerd loves and respects his fans.
Imagine if The Nerd was doing a review and the game just fell down from the ceiling after all these years :o
As much as I'd like to see that he doesn't do reviews in that room anymore
Legend says that the shit continues to trap the game in that old gaming room like amber.
Legend has it, that game is still stuck plastered to the ceiling with the shit. People say if you poke it, it will release it's vile smell within the area and cause a reawakening of this horrible game.
+SuperSpyMario lol
I guess that's why the Nerd moved.
+SuperSpyMario That's the one corner of the Nerd's game room you don't really want to walk near.
That'd be a cool continuity note all these years later.
James giggled at the Lion same as Judy Garland did on the movie.
Man, Mike is really good doing characters, years ago I thought they were all different persons. Even the voices are really different between all the characters he does.
AVGN: "Now, What the fuck, how am i supposed to get under this flame"?
Mike: "Piss on it :3"
I love his comments near the end of the episode.
That lion thing is fcking hilarious!
AVGN: "And to navigate this place is confusing as all hell"
Mike: "hell's confusing"
Start this video at 0:22. Start Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album. Mute this video. Enjoy.
Trust me. James purposely synced up a lot of the images to match the lyrics.
Err
ty_ger Ladies and gentlemen, the most underrated RUclips comment in the history of mankind.
ty_ger Did it, but I don't hear/see the relevance.
Eugen Pechanec
I read the article about it. It's not 0.22, it's 0.13. If you start it from there, it works :P
ty_ger i like starting from 0:14
These videos give me such comfort.. Remembering my youth, no responsibility, pure joy of getting a Nintendo or new console, that feeling of waking up in the morning and knowing you have new games to play. Sigh.... innocence.
6:30 how 9 year-old me tried to sneak in a swear word during a family dinner
Did it work?
Wow, all those kids singing the AVGN theme. I guess I have been watching this since I was 8...
After all these years I just started watching AVGN. The intro by the fans shows me how much I missed.
Mike was fucking born for that role!
"This is one of the hardest games I've ever played but for all the wrong reasons." - Nerd 2010.
That AND it's based on a 93-year-old book license (93 years old at the time the game was made).
9:49
"Emerald City, its the last stage in the game."
"Thank fuckin' God."
LMAO!
Mike as The Lion is friggin hilarious!
And as the Joker and Bugs Bunny
Even James had trouble not laughing.
Especially 6:30😂
Such a good performance, came back to watch again for it!
5:56-6:12 you can tell how hard James is trying not to laugh xD
0:38 is that FamilyJulez7x ??
If it is, it's from looong ago.
Lennyficate Hey it's Lenny \(^-^) /
No, it doesnt really look like him
1:36 The way he perfectly inserted the cartridge
Mike Matei as The Cowardly Lion is one of the highlights of the entire AVGN series.
"With a ruff, and a ruff, and a fuck and a f-f-FUCK!"
mike was the lion?!?!
euducationator Yep, it shocked me too.
I still can't get over how well Mike's lion impersonation is. I would never believe this was Mike unless the credits said so.
The lion is freakin hilarious. The impression is down pat 👍🏼
Wrong
@@The_Ostrich you’re just pissy cuz you can’t fly
Right 👍
Need any mustard for your bbq ostrich sandwich? lol
Well, I for one agree
WHAT'S UP PEANUTBUTTER-JELLY SANDWICH
I love how you can see James trying not to laugh in the background, lmao, this is one of my favourites
6:02 James can't he from laughing XD
Whoever is playing the cowardly lion..he is acting more like Mike Myers as The Cat In The Hat, except he's actually funny.
6:44 Hanging ROB parody of the hanging munchkin theory in the wizard of oz movie... You're welcome.
Didn’t it turn out to be just a bird, like a crane or peacock?
@@jnzupka that was a dvd edit the original vhs tapes have the munchkin
Love the intro James, we appreciate you so much! So great to see all the effort you put into editing all of the fan covers, it’s clear you appreciate us as well.
This is too bad. If it wasn't for the bad controls, this game actually could be really good. It is creative, colorful and it has nice music.
No LJN? I'm shocked.
Hey Saddam how's you and Satan doing
Chris Foley LOL
+Chris Foley An old movie reference, I like it.
+Saddam Hussein No Satan? I'm shocked. :)
I thought you were in hell
LOL 10:18
(James) How am I supposed to get under this flame?
(Lion) Pee on it.
xDD
"Hells confusing." Cowardly Lion -
🤣🤣🤣🤣
HEY MAAAAN, DID YOU JUST SWEAR?
ok even though this game is clearly a steaming pile of shit, is it just me or is the lion's walk cycle kind of adorable?
It is! I thought I was the only one who thought so!
"Flying elephants, which are supposed to be monkeys"
I don't know why, but that line always makes me laugh
8:27 :🎵You’re stuck in the middle, and the pain is thunder...🎵
I understood that reference.
hahaha "even the hands of a clock can kill you!" LMFAO XD
Hey Your Hot! ;)
DUSTYN Wilkinson You're* As in: You're a creep
+Fatality Girl says "you're hot" to a boy, everybody is ok but when boy says it to a girl he is considered a creep?
Comment_User its the fact that he said it in such an out of place manor. It was really inappropriate to say it on an unrelated note
Oh my god the Lion Bitch slap.
LOL! XD * snail does the lion bitch slap*
***** *Snail bitch slkap.
The Vision Have you seen the funny memes I shared publicly on Google+? There are 4 posts.
***** Yeah, but I'll see them tomorrow probably.
Mike does a great job in this video. I laughed my ass off.
12 years later from seeing this on game trailers, and this still cracks me up. By far Mike Matei's best role.
I would've made a Wizard of Oz game like that and then at the end when you get to the wizard it just says "No one sees the wizard!" and then goes back to the main menu.
3:22 best part
James you are a genius. This is the Dark Side of Rofle.
I see this in my recommendations
*noticed it uploaded 10 years ago*
What a way to feel old...
James Rolfe created a magnificently entertaining character!
Dude that cowardly lion was too funny and spot on!
"Wipe your ass with toto!" LMFAO
This is Mike's best performance by far, he is fucking hilarious! I keep returning to watch this episode from time to time.
I will always be an AVGN fan. James, Mike and Kyle, you all kick ass.
Fun fact: this is the second AVGN video I have ever seen. Truly the most nostalgic AVGN video for me.
Someone: **says heck**
Everyone on the Christan Minecraft server: 6:33
lolll
Mike Matei should bring back the Lion in a future episode! 😂👌❤
"...And then, one day you find -ten- twelve years have got behind you."
Thank you for the Floyd love in this episode. It is very much appreciated. The sync up with _Dark Side of the Moon_ was very nice.
I love how James always calls it "Superintendo"
"Damn! You've just plastered the game on my ceiling with your shit." I just lost it at that. LMAO! Classic AVGN moment.
The lion was my favorite part of this episode! 5:52
Same.
LOL around 6:00 when the Lion (James friend Mike) comes in James really has to fight not to laugh haha... Mike is motherfucking funny in this video!
The lion was definitely the best part
5:55-6:04 Having a hard time not laughing, James?
You put so much work into making your intros interesting. I was just watching the Winter Sports one where you went back through all the title cards you've ever made. Combining all the covers of your song here was another genius one. I watch them all, even though I've seen all the episodes multiple times, because I know each one is going to be a little different.

7:16 What the hell is a jet fighter doing in a Wizard of Oz game!?!
It's added in there because the video is made to sync with Dark Side of the Moon
It was trying to land on an aircraft carrier, but the pilot realised he can't do it, so he pulled up the air plane and somehow he came here...
In other words: I have no idea!
James trying not to crack up is the best part.
Why is R.O.B hanging himself at 6:43?
+EPYX Productions ass
+EPYX Productions dassgfrewertrew
He's a munchkin.
You got your answer 3 years later.
it's a reference to a scene in where you can see an out of focus person in the background who appears to be suspended in the air. for years it was speculated by some that a man had hung himself on set. this theory was later debunked by later releases of the film in which the enhanced video quality revealed that it was actually an extra posing as a large bird.
Where?
Watching James trying not to laugh at Mike is the most entertaining part of the video😂
The lion is just so fucking epic.
I wonder where all the AVGN fans that sung the AVGN song are 15+ years later.
Mike as the cowardly lion is fucking phenomenal.
@10:56 never gets old
someone needs to make a 10 hour loop of the lion plastering that game to the ceiling
How sad this episode was released 9 yrs ago. I wish we could go back in time.
10:57 I couldn’t breath!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:25 Is that the fucking crow from Dumbo?!
6:41 hanging Munchkin i mean R.O.B
Holy shit, never noticed that before. That's awesome
like the movie suicide
What is R.O.B.?
Why the hell is a 5 year old watching AVGN? 1:07
I've seen worse on cod
Why not? Also he's more like 9 or 10
Back then, kids shows were like Home Alone.
Nowadays, we consider shows to be, well...Investigation Discovery.
Yeah, WTF. 18+ please.
+Jennytake Aride Oh please. The only thing "inappropriate" about AVGN is the language, and kids were saying worse on the school playground by the time I was in third grade.

"I like to wipe my ass with this tail" Best quote ever
I thought it was a ballsack. That is the most hilarious line in world history.
3:30
LJN rainbow secretly hides in the background..
"Oh no,watch out for the clock!!" - dead . . . xD
Love the show and the lion!
Nerd:How am I supposed to get around the flame?
Lion:Piss on it!

"Hell's confusing"
"There is no Place like home".. there is no shitty game like this!!! 😂😂
I would love to see more bloopers and behind the scenes of this episode. Mike as the lion is hilarious!!
I finally found it.
The way that guys sings, "he'd rather EEaAT" has been seared into my mind for ages, and I completely forgot which episode it came from.
Came here after watching Wicked
Was Mike on speed in this episode 🤣. I love it when he’s in the videos.
6:02 hes trying so hard not to laugh
I love the intro with all the great fans.
Nice community, keep all up the very good work!
Why can't the scarecrow use his gun?
Because he has no brain
EurynomeEclipse13th That doesn't seem to stop NRA members.
Letting governments be the only ones with weapons is great idea, because governments have never committed acts of mass murder; genocide; and ethnic cleansing. Ha, ha, ha
Joshua What the fuck are you talking about? How is that related to the conversation? Who said anything about governments?
