As a Brit, It’s nice to see that your mum hasn’t lost her Yorkshire accent and that you call her mum and not mom. I hope you’ve embraced your ancestry and spent some time here.
hey man I'm sure you don't remember me but i was the guy who messaged you to thank you for your channel the day my daughter was born, well now she is 5 and I'm still loving your channel, can't believe your mum is from the same place as my dad, keep on rocking man :)
My sincere condolences Johnny. Your dear mum seemed a lovely person, and this is one of my favourite episodes. I naturally came here when I heard the news. Take care
I guess we can conclude that most gamers had cool moms. My mom bought me the Turbografx 16 for $199 back in the day and she wouldn't even spend $10 for a shirt. She didn't get me a game though so I was stuck playing Keith Courage in Alpha Zones for months!
Hey Johnny's mom! Allow me to say that you did a great job raising your son! Your son's positive attitude is great, and it really helps some of us who are having difficult times and just need something positive in their lives to turn to sometimes.
Not the old Johnny he was #toosatanic lol. Now he's an amazing game talker and i can honestly say he made me a better person. I appreciate my games more and take care of my stuff more. He made me value my stuff. Cheers!
It’s so funny he calls her the English “mum” instead of “mom”, even though Johnny doesn’t have the accent since he mostly grew up in Canada where it’s “mom” like in the U.S. I think he does it out of respect for her culture and dialect, it’s adorable. She’s a treasure, it’s very evident he loves her.
@TheDomdabomb If you're English, you're _also_ British, you son of a silly person. But yeah, feel free to tell a British lass what word to use... By the way, as a Yorkshireman I APPROVE OF JOHNNY'S MUM'S ACCENT (although it's a bit milder than mine). She has my permission to appear again.
Jamie Williamson look I’m just pointing out that there is no such thing as British accent, If your from Britain you can have either a English, Welsh , Scottish or northern Irish (Ulster) accent. I’m a fan of Gebs channel and Johnny’s.....and by the way being the son of a biomedical scientist doesn’t make them a silly person 👌
"Son of a silly person" is a Monty Python quote and not meant to be taken literally. I take it you're not British, then? Because _of course_ you can have a 'British accent', be it Scottish, Welsh or whatever. Oh, and your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She seemed like a wonderful woman who raised a great guy that gets people like me through tough times with his great show. I’m thinking of you and your family. ❤ lots of love
Oh my gash, my face is so sore from smiling nonstop throughout this whole video, which I watched at 1x to fully enjoy despite my increasingly sore smiley face!
This is now one of my favorite episodes of your show! Your mother is so sweet! After hearing you mention her so many times, it's so amazing to finally see her!
This was awesome. She clearly has good taste to remember Phantasy Star Online and the music. The music in that game was phenomenal. After seeing this it’s easy to see why you turned out the way you did, you had a great mom. Hearing about how they drove down here to the states and went through all of the effort to get you that book was really cool. It’s times like those that we remember when we’re adults. I remember when Phantasy Star came out for the SMS, I asked for it for Christmas but never thought I would get it cause it was like $90 when it came out, but my parents didn’t let me down. Thanks to your mom for doing this.
Good for you to have your wonderful mother on. Hold on to every moment you have with her, my mother passed away and I miss her more than anything. What a good sport for her being on the show. Call your mom and tell her how much you love her today. Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
Videos like this make you my fav channel on RUclips.Your Mum is a proper Yorkshire lass! Hope she brought plenty of Yorkshire puddings & teabags so you can stock up mate.As Brit I can relate so much to you & your mother's relationship.
This just showed up on my timeline. I remember watching this back in the day. Just unfortunate how things went, but she always looked very happy and proud of her son. Sending all the positive energy, and we thank you for letting us get to know a little bit about your mum.
I love going back and watching your old videos. It’s so cool you had your mom on the channel! She seemed like such a sweet women. This was a fun video to watch. I’m glad you have these memories 😊
Your mom is very sweet. We've got to cherish the time we have with our moms. Mine is 64 and has heart trouble. I hope for much more time with her. You never get it back.
Your mom is great for coming on the show and embracing your hobbies. I truly appreciate that because my parents unfortunately were not encouraging when it came to video games and art, its actually one of the reasons I became a nurse. I love my profession but it did make my parents proud, so I leaned towards that ,and at the time games were thought to be for kids and they saw no future in it so they were negative about my hobbies.
Johnny: "Mom. Did you ever think I'd grow out of this stuff?" Mum: "No. No. You've always been that way." Haha! Johnny, your mum is a legend. Would love to hear her review stuff. Not just games, but anything she has a strong opinion of. It's amazing how much content she packs into one or two words. There's no mistaking she is well proud of her naughty boy.
So much nostalgia emanates from this video! I'm 39 and I share a lot of the same memories with my parents... playing video games while mom was watching, enjoying the music specially from Mario & Zelda franchises, trying to understand why that hobby is such a big deal for me. My parents did spent a lot of money on games and consoles on birthdays and Christmases... I do think video games helped creating special bonds and much of my best memories are gaming related. There was something special about parents from the 70/80's era... they were so patient with us kids! Kudos to your mom and all moms in general, one can never thank them enough for the dedication and love they give us!
How sweet to bring your mom on! God bless you two! The parent and child who game together, stay together! She's a lovely woman! A woman her age watching AVGN, she got that from you!
I Clicked so fast! how cool it is she came on one of your videos Johnny! and you can tell she really supports you for who you are and where your interests' lie. Your Mom is the best
super lovely lady. So happy to see your roots. Thanks for the video and kudos to your mom for having the courage to be on cam. Awesome video! She was fantastic!
I love it that you immortalized your appreciation for your dear mum Liz for everything, birthdays & Christmases. It is beautiful and deeply meaningful I can imagine RIP dear Liz ❤ Sending love to you & your family Johnny from the middle east across the globe ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss, Johnny. Came here after your most recent vid. I lost my mom back in 2016 and it was very hard for me. Sending you love and good vibes brother.
It's quite surreal that she's proper Yorkshire! Knew you had a background there but never knew your mum was so authentically northern! Love the channel and love the Master System appreciation especially from us Brits.
She seems like a wonderful mom bro! Take good care of her and enjoy every moment with her! My mom passed away last month and hurts like hell man. Nothing’s the same without her.
I really like your videos, with how you bring your mum and your wife on, and cover your real life with it’s struggles and truth. Thank you for being a new way to cover video games. I really enjoy your insights into games too
This is definitely my favorite episode! It is touching you thanking your mom for always doing her best in order to make your birthdays and xmas a great time!
Although I don't comment all the time I always watch your videos Johnny, and I must say that this is one of my favorites ever. Awesome to see your mom after all the stories you have told in the past. All my blessings for her and all your family!
This video right here is why I subscribed and why I love your channel so much. Thank your mom for the video for me! I can tell why you called yourself the "HappyConsoleGamer", with a happy sweet mom like that how could you not be happy all the time!? Much love from the US!!!
Amazing buddy....the way you integrate your family and friend into your channel is just something unique...adding the great story telling and sense of humor you just keep getting better and better....keep it up and thank you to your mom for participating awesome show...
Johnnie, you really brought back so many great memories with my mom. As much as my mom didn't get it as much in current days, she used to play Super Mario Bros. for me to see the ending when I was 5 years old in '91. The best memory I have of my mom is when my mother would fall in love with puzzle games like Tetris and Columns. She actually hogged my Genesis and played Columns until she reached level 60+ and it got to the point that I had to get my dad to get her off. She still occasionally plays games with me from time to time and brings up casual memories of my sisters and I playing games. To this day, she still watches me play.
Your mom is rad lol, you can tell she's proud of you man. Seems like a really good mum, it's funny how she remembers so much random stuff from your childhood...mine was the same way in that regard.
I wish I had a video like this with me and my mom or any video for that matter. I miss her everyday. It always touches my heart when I see people close with their mothers and just loving them. Moms are the best!! Love this video!
Awesome Johnny real enjoy the q&a with you mom. Your mom is amazing. Glad you told her thank for all the amazing birthday and Christmas presents. Treasure those memories
Aww such a lovely video to have your mum on! I love that you can still hear the British-ness in the way Johnny says "mum". Your mum seems absolutely lovely!
John, your Mom is an absolute delight. Good on you to bring her along. We've heard so many stories from you about your parents and it's so interesting to see first hand how you differ from them and also what you share. Cheers from Spain!
Just wanted to drop by here after I heard the news of your mum's passing. My condolences. I've been thinking about you and your family at this time, and I remembered this wonderful video. Thank you for everything you do and all the wonderful content you make. Your mum raised a great person.
You guys are amazing! thank you for all the wonderful comments!
My Mum and I were a bit nervous about putting this up!
Faith in humanity restored!
If your mother is still here, please tell her she raised a fine son. Your positivity is one of the only reasons I still go on RUclips.
Love that you say mum not mom. I don't if they say mum in Canada but it's so weird to see when people write or say mom.
As a Brit, It’s nice to see that your mum hasn’t lost her Yorkshire accent and that you call her mum and not mom. I hope you’ve embraced your ancestry and spent some time here.
hey man I'm sure you don't remember me but i was the guy who messaged you to thank you for your channel the day my daughter was born, well now she is 5 and I'm still loving your channel, can't believe your mum is from the same place as my dad, keep on rocking man :)
The 18 downvotes are probably just Scousers.
RIP Liz❤❤❤ Thank you for everything!
My condolences. Your mom seemed like a wonderful person.
So sorry for your loss. I loved this episode. She was a lovely lady.
My sincere condolences Johnny. Your dear mum seemed a lovely person, and this is one of my favourite episodes. I naturally came here when I heard the news. Take care
RIP Liz you raised an amazing person! My condolences Johnny always here if you need anything! ❤
So sorry for your loss 😔.
Awesome dude! I had my mom on my channel a couple of times. She cracks me up. Great video you two.
Radical Reg!!!!! What a surprise man!!! I hope you guys do an All-Star Old School Gamers Video...You, Metal J., and Johnny
You and your Mom were awesome it gave me the courage to bring my mom on :)
HappyConsoleGamer dude! That’s so cool 😎 to hear. Thanks bro.
I guess we can conclude that most gamers had cool moms. My mom bought me the Turbografx 16 for $199 back in the day and she wouldn't even spend $10 for a shirt. She didn't get me a game though so I was stuck playing Keith Courage in Alpha Zones for months!
I'll have to look those up :) good to see you here.
The mom, the myth, the legend!
You have your Mums laugh, John.
yes he does!
Oh wow, he does!...D'aww
Definitely
Like mother,like son ❤💯.
Hey Johnny's mom! Allow me to say that you did a great job raising your son! Your son's positive attitude is great, and it really helps some of us who are having difficult times and just need something positive in their lives to turn to sometimes.
Brian Tokarcik great comment dude! Totally agree! And we all need some positive vibes in out lives :)
Not the old Johnny he was #toosatanic lol. Now he's an amazing game talker and i can honestly say he made me a better person. I appreciate my games more and take care of my stuff more. He made me value my stuff. Cheers!
same here, he helped me realize the value of my own stuff as well, my love for video games.
your mom is awesome!!
It’s so funny he calls her the English “mum” instead of “mom”, even though Johnny doesn’t have the accent since he mostly grew up in Canada where it’s “mom” like in the U.S. I think he does it out of respect for her culture and dialect, it’s adorable.

I just came here after watching your most recent video. Your mother seemed like a lovely person.
Your mother is lovely
What a nice chill mom.
Wow you can really hear the British accent in your mum especially the Yorkshire twang. Bless her she’s lovely 😊 Great video 🇬🇧
12:44 'he were actually a nice guy'
TheGebs24 English accent u mean Gebs 😃by the way love your channel 👍
@TheDomdabomb If you're English, you're _also_ British, you son of a silly person. But yeah, feel free to tell a British lass what word to use...

I am truly sorry for your loss! I think that you can't never get over it but in time you will learn to live with it! 😢
Too Angelic John, TOO ANGELIC.
@reign80 your comment was #toosatanic bro lol
😂😂😂
Oh my gash, my face is so sore from smiling nonstop throughout this whole video, which I watched at 1x to fully enjoy despite my increasingly sore smiley face!
Haha, I feel this, I was definitely the same.
God bless your mom. My prayers are with you and your family.
I missed this 5 years ago, so it’s only right I listen to it today. Thinking about you and your family today, HGC!
Your Mum is lovely! As a fan from the early years this was such a treat Johnny. I was smiling the whole way through man!
your mothers laugh has made my day John. She's lovely :) Great episode.
This is now one of my favorite episodes of your show! Your mother is so sweet! After hearing you mention her so many times, it's so amazing to finally see her!

Good for you to have your wonderful mother on. Hold on to every moment you have with her, my mother passed away and I miss her more than anything. What a good sport for her being on the show. Call your mom and tell her how much you love her today. Sometimes tomorrow never comes.
My heart goes out to you man, my condolences, may she be with you forever.
RIP to your mom. She seemed like an amazing woman.
Your mom is so adorable!
Johnny: Sega or Nintendo?
Lady Millenium: Sega
Johnny: Wha... why?!
Lady Millenium: Blast Processing

*How i Met Johnny's Mother*
That was adorable :) Great episode. It's going to be nostalgic (this episode) over time. Your mom is amazing :)
Really neat to see your Mum on your channel. My Mum is a massive gamer, been playing rpg's since Phantasy Star on the Master System.
Really ? Wow ... That is so awesome!

She’s such a sweetheart! It was very nice of her to come on the channel for you. Love your content man!
Nice. Your "mum" is a super sweet, supporting and optimistic person. Cool that we could check her out.
Wow this was sooner than I thought! Great episode man!!! You're mom is so nice!
Your mum seems like a lovely person. This was a really fun episode to watch.

Your mom is adorable! Thanks for sharing! :)
2023 christmas special sent me down a HappyConsoleGamer binge during my holidays. Endless gems!
