James’ dedication to beating Frankenstein, even as he’s being strangled by FrankenNerd, brings to mind the reputed last words of Archimedes of Syracuse. It’s said that as his city was being sacked, the elderly mathematician implored the soldier about to strike him down: “Wait until I have finished my [math] problem!”
@@johnnyweissmuller5559 The Nerd can't DIE. He merely reforms out of the universes base code and continues his never-ending quest to conquer all shitty games.
I think I'm most partial to the "club/techno beat"🔊 version myself.😋 There's a # of versions of the song🎶 that are really ❄😎. Another 1 of my fave is the "Metal🎸" version(s).
This is a great review because the side character (the monster) is fucking hilarious, it's a nice concise video, the game has epic difficulty, and there's some great laughs. Just a tightly written, quality video :)
I love the fight scene with the monster at the end. One of the best AVGN moments for sure. The awesome remix, the editing, the crazy atmosphere, the expressions on the Nerd's face - it's all peak AVGN.
That Frankestein for the NES looks really cool and eerie. I was thinking about Dark Souls as my closest reference in dark fantasy. I may give it a shot.
This is one of the most kickass AVGN episodes, I've ever seen! And Julio's theme song cover that plays, when AVGN fights Franken-Nerd at the end, is kickass, too! :D
Dat password "PHUCKEWE" That should be the password to get rid of hit detection, missable platforms, one hit kills, too tough bosses, no continues, you jump backward when hit and to turn on time in the game, so that you have to beat the stage in a certain amount of time.
I always thought the bird was a passage to another level. Ergo, I never completed the first stage. Seriously, most people expect a bird that carries you to be either said passage, a shortcut, or either of the Legend of Zelda bird species: Loftwings in Skyward Sword or Cuccos in most other 3D Zelda games. WTF were the creators of this Frankenstein game thinking?!
The fact that the AVGN, at the end of the video, is more concerned about beating the game than being attacked by the monster is freaking hilarious to me! 😂
I loved the part when Frankenstein was grabbing the nerd when he was still playing and then his theme song changed to a monster version and the explosion was pretty cool when he said yeah his face was just epic looking I love the nerd he is pretty cool.
Still, one of the best youtube video series ever. Thanks, Nerd. I've enjoyed these series since I was a 15 years old, and now I'm 25! and I'm still watching it over and over again! Futhermore, it is still really enjoyable. I sincerely appreciate you. Hope I could watch these series until the day I die XD
My brother got me The Adventures of Dr. Franken when it came out. I don't talk smack about gifts, but the Nerd's complaints about the controls are spot-on. It's a shame though, because the level design was pretty neat, with lots of emphasis on exploration and lots of neat little details. Also, all the monsters in the game had lots of personality and whoever the artists are really did a great job. Not to mention that it has a really kicking soundtrack. But as the Nerd once said, the most important part of the game is being able to play the game, and the controls were slippery and awkward. I can't imagine most people putting in the effort to master it.
You're so spot on! I see what could've been a fantastic game but the controls hinder it greatly. Such a shame, but worth a play for anyone looking for off the wall SNES games!
It's wierd this, he's made so many of em that even to this day there's still episodes I've missed, not strange tho this is the most rewatchable series on the internet.
The rant that starts at 10:00 is probably one of my favorite AVGN rants. Seriously, James just completely nails how fucked up long passwords and limited continues were back in the day. If you're going to have a password system, do it like Bubble Bobble did: only 5 characters, and only A-J are used as letters.
Think about it this way, the monster was almost like a son to the doctor, and so he'd have his last name. So in certain terms it's okay to call the monster frankenstein
This video works well because both you and the titular doctor are sequestered lunatics. thematically, you and him fit together as nicely as butter and toast. This review has less views than the others, but deserves just as much acclaim- when it's Halloween and James Rolfe is on the prowl, you bet things are about to go down.
It's nice when you realize there's an AVGN video you missed.
exactly why im here right now....dont know how but i guess i missed this one
I still don't understand. I thought I've seen everything... Ass. Fuck. Baaalls.
***** Me three. WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Are there still new episodes or is this series over???
Gotcha .
"Death Guy" and "Mr. Kill" should have been bosses in the AVGN games.
Fred Fucks tho.
+Shawn Bateman Hopefully they'll be in the sequel
+Shawn Bateman Mr. Kill is actually a henchman in the Bond movie "Die Another Day".
***** I wasnt even aware of that. Pretty cool.
+Shawn Bateman my favorite part in avgn
The manwolf was originally a wolf who got bitten by a wereman, so it makes perfect sense.
Wait "were" means "man" so it's a "Manman"?
(then again with that logic werehog means manpig....)
Loonmight The Coyote manbearpig
In a way, the real wereman is us.
***** I don't know what that is but it sounds sexy.
But what is someone is bitten by the Wehrmacht? Oo.....mind blown

-Frankenerd
Rest In Piece...
Don't forget that Nerd died along with him.

@@Daxinar that sounds oddly poetic
The AVGN rock song at the end was amazing.
I think I'm most partial to the "club/techno beat"🔊 version myself.😋 There's a # of versions of the song🎶 that are really ❄😎. Another 1 of my fave is the "Metal🎸" version(s).
I wonder if it’s done by PhycoStick?
I believe you mean METAL
@@ElginAlway Who tf is "Phyco"Stick?
This right here gentlemen is AVGN in his prime, great fucking episode.
Agreed. I miss when he was actually angry.
NorthjerseyMelee For some reason this is my favorite review of his
This is a great review because the side character (the monster) is fucking hilarious, it's a nice concise video, the game has epic difficulty, and there's some great laughs. Just a tightly written, quality video :)
I'd say the editing is top-notch too. Especially the fight at the end must have been a buttload of work.
Before the alcoholism took over
It doesn't annoy me when I accidentally reset my watch history and have to rewatch AVGN episodes again, because they never get old.
I did the same thing =D so many good laughs
Agreed
Avgn is timeless
We need to put him in a museum
I think he might be a bit peeved if you did that. Museums don’t usually let the exhibits leave.
AVGN: "How 'bout 'Death Guy' or 'Mr. Kil'?"
James Bond: "Now there's a name to die for."
"Oh there's this monster you gotta fight - Oh! There's the monster, fight him!"
Had me in tears. XD
I felt the same at "Fuckenstein"
"This time I'm just gonna try to _inch_ my way to the edge of that lilypad- oh *FUCK, it goes **_AWAY_**!*"
I just adore the way he says that.
When Frankenstein's monster is wearing sunglasses he looks like Lou Reed.
*frankenerd

I agree, it’s one of several games that James played over the years which unexpectedly caught my attention with its neat aesthetic.
Mister Kill. That's priceless.
Deathguy is pretty funny too ^^
I LOL'd my ass out with that one !!!! XDD
AnimaxRules Next time when someone makes a game I want those as the enemy names.
That brings back bad memories.One of the villains in James Bond's Die Another Day had that name. Bond replies "A name to die for".
Thomas Wille How could they make it any worse?
This is one of the most kickass AVGN episodes, I've ever seen! And Julio's theme song cover that plays, when AVGN fights Franken-Nerd at the end, is kickass, too! :D
You know shit gets real when a series/show's theme starts playing near the end
Start the game dead:
PHUCKEWE
LOL!
Thanos of Titan ;-;
+Serhat The Nintendo Player I found Captain Obvious.
Something about the Ganon bit and 7:15 just cracks me up. It's perfect.
Dat password
"PHUCKEWE"
That should be the password to get rid of hit detection, missable platforms, one hit kills, too tough bosses, no continues, you jump backward when hit and to turn on time in the game, so that you have to beat the stage in a certain amount of time.
i dont get the phuckewe joke. i mean, i get the phuck part, but what's the ewe?
LEGOMAN 2 its a play on word
Phuckewe into “fuck you”
there's this monster you gotta fight OH THERE'S THE MONSTER FIGHT HIM!
The ending is so cool. Love that rocking tune.
the avgn videos are timeless classics they never get old
the only reason in Mary shelleys frankenstein he looked like uncle fester was because that's how he looked in the 1990s movie XD
Played by Robert Deniro. One of the strangest casting choices in history.
And the version that he most resembles the monster in the book.
"Oh there's this monster u gotta fight OH THERE'S THE MONSTER"
So, I never realized, but the descriptions for these videos are actually really detailed and complex!
I always thought the bird was a passage to another level. Ergo, I never completed the first stage. Seriously, most people expect a bird that carries you to be either said passage, a shortcut, or either of the Legend of Zelda bird species: Loftwings in Skyward Sword or Cuccos in most other 3D Zelda games. WTF were the creators of this Frankenstein game thinking?!
Frakenstein? Never heard it spelled like that before. It''s FrankenSTAIN!
Oh God, not the Berenstein bears thing again...
Burn Angel *Berenstain
Dubsy Berenstæin.
Dankglas Quaid berenstain bears?
Dankglas Quaid Anne Frank-enstein
12:52 always get chills at this part
I love how he is able to make a boiler look like it belongs in a mad scientist lab
The fact that the AVGN, at the end of the video, is more concerned about beating the game than being attacked by the monster is freaking hilarious to me! 😂
start with no weapons:
KARATE
Start with worse controls:
CHAMP
Ah, I was wondering when he was going to mention that the Monster's name was never Frankenstein.
It's also in the description.
Metaluna Zombie
Considering the monster thinks of the Dr. as his father it isn’t unreasonable to think his surname could be his
Intelligence is knowing Frankenstein was the name of the doctor. Wisdom is knowing Dr. Frankenstein WAS the monster.
@@rustyjones7908 nice one
It did say "ALMOST invincibility"
This is a terribly underrated episode
The last few seconds, where he wins but the tv explodes, makes me crack up for some reason.
Franken Nerd is the name of the monster, not the scientist.
Really? What's the scientist's name then? 🤔
Holy shit, I found an AVGN episode I haven't seen before, I've struck gold!
12:03 Just realized that PHUCKEWE meant F--- You
Sailor Sedna
Phuck ewe
Fuck ew
Fuck you
It works both in concept and practice.
I loved the part when Frankenstein was grabbing the nerd when he was still playing and then his theme song changed to a monster version and the explosion was pretty cool when he said yeah his face was just epic looking I love the nerd he is pretty cool.
You're a cool fella, Michael.
love coming back to watch some of these lol
3:33 Hipster Nerd: Making "Duty" jokes 2 years before Wreck-It Ralph did.
Possibly the greatest Halloween theme opening ever.
Best AVGN theme version ever!
I love James' old school rants on passwords
Still, one of the best youtube video series ever. Thanks, Nerd. I've enjoyed these series since I was a 15 years old, and now I'm 25! and I'm still watching it over and over again! Futhermore, it is still really enjoyable. I sincerely appreciate you. Hope I could watch these series until the day I die XD
WOW, I like the metal version of the intro song at the end.
If he thinks the codes from game genie for this game was bad, he should see the collectable skulls in the halo games.
Riley Higgs Granted there are some exceptions, but for the most part the halo skulls would piss him off.

New Drinking Game - Every time the Nerd references Simon's Quest.
Rip kideys
RIP liver.
RyderDavis should be when ever he references castlevania
New drinking game: Drink half a beer everytime he says "the".
RyderDavis Or Contra
Wait, one hit is fatal = EEKAYLEL ?
Looks like some time traveling trolls from the future to me.
Lol, I love that metal theme playing while he struggles with the monster. XD
These games... "It's alive! It's alive!" More like: "It's ass! It's ass!"
I'm a little pissed that you called the "Swordmaster" a random guy. respect.
i love that the fade between the title card and the episode match each other
"It's alive! It's alive!"
(If you remember his Halloween episode) "No, it's ass! It's ass!"
"Come on, you Fuckin Fuckinstein!"
This is what I'm taking away from this XD
Man you can tell all those cuts and editing took for freaking ever. What an absolute beast.
That's "Frahnken-shteen."
+shuichiboy Blucher! *Horses whinny in background*
Heh, never gets old. :D
*DESTINY! DESTINY! I cannot escape my DESTINY!*
Classic
you're pulling my leg.
0:36 The moment he says “It’s alive! It’s alive!”, I thought he was going to say “How about it’s ass! It’s ASS!” from the Halloween review. XD
2:40 that just cracks me up, and the fact that the mask is hanging off his face makes it even funnier!
4:35
....... sometimes you have to slow down.... *and then there's Marble Zone*
"Almost unlimited energy"
Unlimited minus 1 ....
night infinine
Hey Alucard, a horrible night to have a curse, isn't it?
The ending metal & fight scene is just legendary.
Wow, it's amazing that this was made 4 years ago. Just look @ how far James has come...
Wow, it's amazing that this comment was made 3 years ago. Just look @ how far creeperassassn has come...
Wow, it's amazing that this comment was made 3 weeks ago. Just look @ how far Joseph has come...

F. Bone obviously stands for Fone Bone, from the Bone series

yoyoyoshio267 And my name is John Cena
Leopold Litchenstein DUN DUN DUN DUUUN! DUN DUN DUN DUUUN! JOHN CENA!
You're everywhere!
Truly I am
His made up code is "PHUCKEWE". You are clever, AVGN.
Start the game dead
It's wierd this, he's made so many of em that even to this day there's still episodes I've missed, not strange tho this is the most rewatchable series on the internet.
I need a full version of the AVGN Theme Metal cover.
Same
The Satan's asshole level looks like the alien universe from Half-Life!
Stormy
Frank Nerd face looks like me after I drink 10 shots of Tequila at Sunday morning!
"When Game Genie doesn't help, you know you're fucked!" or "How about, start the game dead?"
After seeing that Nerd beat the final boss of Frankenstein while being choked out we can officially say that he is a master of the NES
AVGN should make a video on Castlevania clones and imitators, Getsu Fuuma Den and Holy Diver are great examples
Mary Shelly's Frankenstein on SNES gives a literal meaning to "shortcut"
9:25 swear he says "woof-man".
nah wolfman
One of the best AVGN eps ever.
How did I miss this nerd episode?
Holy shit, i literally thought the same thing before i found your comment!
Hermaeus Mora ^^^^^
I watched "All" episodes, but I just found out about this one today. :|
Like WTF...
Always love the Arnold yell during the end fight
The ending has the best version of the theme song I've heard yet. Gotta love the metal.
Fo a second i heard "You have to fight the mormon underwater"
9:05-9:09 Death Guy and Mr. Kill need to be a duo boss combo in the next AVGN-inspired video game.
This and Nightmare on Elm street are still my fav Halloween AVGN eps
"It's alive ! It's alive !"
How 'bout, "It's ASS ! It's AAASS !"
13:06 best version of the AVGN theme EVAR!!!!
The rant that starts at 10:00 is probably one of my favorite AVGN rants. Seriously, James just completely nails how fucked up long passwords and limited continues were back in the day.
If you're going to have a password system, do it like Bubble Bobble did: only 5 characters, and only A-J are used as letters.
But sometimes long passwords were necessary 2 restore your exact progress, like in WIZARD of OZ!
I can't get enough of that bit with the Game Genie codes haha.
Also the "monster fight 'em" bit was very Good Bad Flicks for some reason haha.
..."Doody". I lol'd, lmfao. Congratulations, man, you managed to make saying duty, pausing, then saying it again while laughing funny again. XD
we should thank Mike Matei as well for planning these videos, and acting majority of the villians in avgn :)
11:43 Whoever came with these cheat codes is a complete snot.
Frankenstein's monster with sunglasses... I never thought I would see that :O
Ghostbusters Reference I like it
"He calls Himself the Gatekeeper, Whats the hand Call Himself? The Keymaster?
Fred Fuchs, Mr. Kill, and Death Guy. They have descended from the Rainbow of Death of LJN.
0:34 How about, "IT'S ASS! IT'S ASS!"?
This video is the perfect example of why I watch RUclips with captions lol
That ending tune rocked!
This is 100% the funniest episode
