"HE LOOKS SO STUPID" is a criminally underrated AVGN line. The delivery was perfect. This entire episode is an underrated gem, actually. The delivery of all the lines is spot-on. He doesn't sound like he's acting. He just sounds like a really pissed off nerd.
+terrordarky I agree too. I think this was when he was coming into his prime. Everything sounds authentic and I laugh at certain lines every time. It's such a good episode.

The worst thing abou this game is the fact that Silver Surfer has the power of intangibility in the comics, so he could just go trough everything they throw at him...
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, and ONE hit takes him out? Fucking bullshit.
Great soundtrack, I recently wanted to see how hard the game really is. It's hard, but I beat it in about a week of playing here n there. Not too bad. Really not a bad game.
If it makes you feel better, he rectified this oversight in the most incredible way in a later AVGN episode where he showed that he'd bought the OST to Silver Surfer NES - on VINYL. The video of him showing it during the episode went around in VGM circles for a little while cause it wasn't common knowledge you can even get it on vinyl. Pretty much one of the biggest wins ever.
It's like the ONE and ONLY redeemable factor in the entire game. That music was legendary for NES. Also...use the Game Genie, and become the Silver Snuffer.
"I CAN'T TOUCH THAT RED POT?!" is still one of my all-time favorite Nerd moments. The way it comes right after "ANOTHER MOTHER FUCKING PUMPKIN" gets me every time.
AVGN introduced me to Silver Surfer NES which introduced me to Tim and Geoff Follin, phenomenal video game composers who’d break barriers with each score they composed. RIP Geoff Follin
All these years later this is still my favorite episode. To me this is the best example of the nerd consistently rising in anger throughout almost like a perfect curve, starting from not caring much about it to hating it do to the ridiculous difficulty.
Does anyone else get an immense feeling of comfort when watching his old videos? I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia or what but it really soothes my mind. Just how simple yet creative these earlier episodes are really what I think keeps me coming back to them. James’ mind spawned such comical and wonderful bits of video game commentary
"Another mother-_fucking_ pumpkin." is without a doubt my favorite AVGN line. I always makes me smile. Heck, this entire episode has a lot of his best lines.
The man who beat Ghosts n' Goblins TWICE without save states can't beat a single level of this game. Wow. That really says something about the difficulty.
That or Ghosts n' Goblins was fun enough to compel you to beat it twice in spite of its huge difficulty, while Silver Surfer isn't fun enough to compel you to beat even a single stage.
9:11 No matter how many times I watch, it catches me off guard every time. Its also funny because the Silver Surfer is supposed to be something of a demigod in the Marvel Universe. Healing powers, near invulnerability, the Power Cosmic, ultra-fast flight, etc. so he is definitely supposed to be powerful.
10:25 "Isn't he supposed to be pretty strong?" If by that you mean a low tier cosmic level entity and Herald of Galactus then yes he's "pretty" powerful. Realistically everything he's fighting in this game shouldn't pose even the minorest of minor threats.
Silver Surfer is actually one of the most powerful and indestructible characters in the Marvel universe. For him to be killed simply by bumping into dull, inanimate objects is one of the most insulting things I've ever seen in a video game.
Still my favorite episode. He just gets right to the point explaining the game and genuinely feels pissed. He doesnt look like he's acting. No long intros. And keeps special effects to a minimal. This is classic style nerd episode.
One thing I did notice is that your projectiles will tell you what's an obstacle. If the projectiles don't go through something, neither can Silver Surfer. You have to keep firing constantly even with no enemies because your projectiles will tell you if you're heading for certain death. Especially on the overhead levels. So invest in a turbo controller if you're playing this game. Really they should have made it so you could just hold down the button. "What were they thinking?"
This game doesn't have bad controls. The only thing that allegedly makes it bad is how unforgiving it is, which, in my opinion, doesn't make it lousy at all. It does provide for an intense gaming session(and no, I rented it several times back in the day, but could never beat it).
Dr.Beef When you have to continually tap the button every single second (both to kill enemies and to see what can block you and what can't) is either bad control or bad level design. Either they should have indicators what you can and can't cross, or just allow you to hold the button down. Having to press the button rapid fire through the whole game just leads to sore thumbs. That's not a good time playing a game.
@@darkitachi50 Picking fly shit (immensely small) out of a proper (insides of those are narrow) with boxing gloves (incredibly hard to pick up anything while wearing those).
Ironic Surfer is nigh indestructible can fly through walls Can also fly at many times the speed of light Has almost every power in the MEU Has Cosmic awareness (self aware of all around him) And would probably clear the set gauntlet in mere minutes Yet he can't do shyte in this game But thats not the only irony Silver surfer has the most mobility use in terms of character and powers in almost all of comics This made me lol
I always thought he was based on one of those Emmy statues. Like his creators were just daring Hollywood to make it into a movie and not give it awards.
Andrew Cox I know right? This is so nostalgic to watch, I really miss the 2000's internet. The "It's not bad, IT'S FUCKIN' HORRIBLE" line is one of his best
Silver Surfers powers are as follows: The Silver Surfer wields the Power Cosmic, granting him superhuman strength, endurance, senses and the ability to absorb and manipulate the universe's ambient energy. The Surfer can navigate through interstellar space and hyperspace, which he can enter to exceed the speed of light when flying on his board. He has proven capable of time travel on several occasions, even able to make others time-travel with him. The Surfer sustains himself by converting matter into energy; does not require food, water, air, or sleep (although he occasionally enters a sleep-like meditation in order to dream); and can survive within nearly any known natural environment, including deep space, hyperspace, and even within black holes and stars. The Surfer can project energy in various forms for offensive and defensive use, including bolts of cosmic force powerful enough to destroy entire planets, and create black holes. He can utilize the Power Cosmic to augment his superhuman strength to indeterminate levels. The Surfer can heal living organisms, though he cannot raise the dead, and he has proven capable of revitalizing and evolving organic life on a planet-wide scale. He can cast illusions, create interdimensional portals to other locations including microverses, phase through solid matter, and exercise some level of control over the Astral Plane. His senses enable him to detect objects and concentrations of energy light years away and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail, including life energies of living beings. The Surfer can even see through time, and with concentration he can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. He has demonstrated telepathic ability, including mind-reading on occasion, and has proven to be able to influence human emotion and sensation. The Surfer's board is composed of a nearly impervious, cosmically powered silvery material that is similar to his own skin. The board is mentally linked to the Surfer and moves in response to his mental commands even when he is not in physical contact with it. The board is nearly indestructible, but on those rare occasions when it has been damaged or destroyed, the Surfer has proven able to repair it, or even recreate it, with little effort. The Surfer can attack opponents remotely by directing the board against them, and the board is capable of absorbing and imprisoning other beings, at least temporarily. TLDR: Silver surfer is practically a god, yet this game has him fighting rubber duckies as equals...
When I was a kid, I beat this game - and I did it while standing up...without my heels or toes touching the floor...Oh, and I used the powerglove. Great memories.
Well I did it while hanging upside down like a bat, and being spanked by mexican wrestlers,using the Kinect, while being attacked by owls and drowned in honey.
I still come back to watch this. This is probably the most genuine angry review he did. "It's like some sorta fuckin' joke" his eyes were just in disbelief. Man I love this old piece.
I think that title goes to something more deserving, like Mario, or Sanic, or mega man, or one of the many angry video game nerd games on the nes. also, I make my own games so #YOLO
I've been watching AVGN since 2007. I've never left a comment on any of the videos before... but this is my favorite episode. This is absolutely hilarious.
This is the best AVGN episode, bar none. His rage is so genuine and it's got some of the greatest quotes. "It would be easier to go outside during a thunderstorm and try and dodge rain" lmfao
I've watched this episode more than a dozen times, and I can NEVER see that camoflaged bullet coming through the trees until the close up. How anybody is meant to be able to beat this game is beyond me.
After a lot of deliberating I have to say that in my opinion this is the best AVGN episode. I mean the Ninja Gaiden episode was awesome and I keep rewatching the Castlevania reviews, Bugs Bunny episodes are cool as well but honestly whenever you're pissed off, just watch this episode and you will feel a lot better. This episode is the epitome of genuine frustration and the best nerd episode to date.
DustMan2704 Its kind of like with games like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest or Guilty Gear Isuka. I would say those games have some of the best soundtracks ever compose for their respective system. Its too bad the gameplay for those games are so bad that we don’t notice the good that is the music.
I always love coming back and watching these older nerd episodes. They never get old to me. Classic stuff James. Thanks for all the years of entertainment!
This is actually my all time favorite game for the NES. Awesome music and it's hard but fair. It gets very tense because the power ups are extremely important to progress, so if you die at a bad spot you're screwed.
I'm a fifth grade teacher by now and I recently had some Video Game History lessons. I took this shit to school, had the entire class play this mess and went like "Here you go! Enjoy my childhood you little shitheads". That session was priceless.
One of all time best episodes of AVGN. Humour and analysis of the bad elements are perfect. Remember watching it back when it came out and started to love the AVGN Series.
Addicted to AVGN videos at this point already after becoming a recent fan several months ago. I kept hearing the Theme Song on repeat in my head the other day after watching AVGN videos.
LopsidedMender Or if the enemies didn't take a million hits each, or if you weren't such a big target, or if you could touch the walls/ceiling/floor without dying instantly (seriously, couldn't they just knock him off course a little?), or if the powerups were better and more frequent, or if you resumed right where you died instead of at the start of the level, etc. Any of those things by themselves would have made the game a ton better. But it was like they took the difficulty of every NES game and crammed them into this one.
It isn't a bad game. It's just completely unforgiving and brutal. Unless you MASTER the game, you don't get to see the end. Not every game should hold your hand. Where's the accomplishment in those games anyways?
Dr.Beef There's a difference between challenging and almost impossible to the point it sucks all the enjoyment out of the game. Batman for the NES was hard, but fun. Ninja Gaiden was VERY hard, but fun. Silver Surfer is just blargh. I get you can master it if you're a masochist... I mean, stuck with it, but plenty of people stuck with Ninja Gaiden. Silver Surfer, not so much. And the end (from what I saw on playthroughs) just isn't worth the hassle.
10:50 "Man, I was just pissing shit all over this fucking game!" LMAO! Just the tone of his voice and the way he said it was absolutely gut-busting in hilarity.
"HE LOOKS SO STUPID" is a criminally underrated AVGN line. The delivery was perfect.
This entire episode is an underrated gem, actually. The delivery of all the lines is spot-on. He doesn't sound like he's acting. He just sounds like a really pissed off nerd.
+terrordarky Agree so much. This is one of my favs, hands down, and it has always been.
+terrordarky I agree too. I think this was when he was coming into his prime. Everything sounds authentic and I laugh at certain lines every time. It's such a good episode.

This is indeed one of the best Nerd episodes.

LOL
Ratical
AAAHAHAHAHAHA
Ratical No way it`s his uncle The Chrome Casonova.

The worst thing abou this game is the fact that Silver Surfer has the power of intangibility in the comics, so he could just go trough everything they throw at him...
So fucking ironic...
Though you gotta admire them instead designating that ability to *THAT RED POT*
That's OP as fuck.....
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Silver Surfer is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, and ONE hit takes him out? Fucking bullshit.
So that's why i play the game with a cheat code....
This cheat code is a raw binary code that you can use this on emulators.
Here's the code :

there was a brown river and he didn't make a "shit" joke? im impressed.
Fuyuhiko i was thinking the same thing bro
I'm pretty sure that was just an oversight on James' part.
Lmao bruh i swear i was waiting for it 🤣
Impressed?! I was disappointed!
During this time he wasn’t as cheap with the jokes...
I'm surprised he didn't mention the music. Tim Follin is an absolute legend.
Great soundtrack, I recently wanted to see how hard the game really is. It's hard, but I beat it in about a week of playing here n there. Not too bad. Really not a bad game.

One of the best parts. This whole episode is just comedy gold to be honest. One of my top 10 episodes.
It's so abrupt, the game's not even started and he's already firing out insults.
All these years later this is still my favorite episode. To me this is the best example of the nerd consistently rising in anger throughout almost like a perfect curve, starting from not caring much about it to hating it do to the ridiculous difficulty.

Just play the Action 52 vids and then the game glitches vid and all is right with the world.
Same. When I want to fall asleep to youtube videos late at night my go-to is AVGN
Mee too. Nostalgia that's the comfort you feel 😊
Action 52 is my comfort videos
It's because early AVGN with the low budget perfectly captures the feeling of playing games on the couch with your friend.
5:44 I just noticed that one of the jack-o-lanterns is like "oh shit" after it accidentally impales itself on a spike.
lol, look at 5:44
The pumpkin gets impaled on one of the spikes and makes a frowny face.

"Another mother-_fucking_ pumpkin." is without a doubt my favorite AVGN line. I always makes me smile. Heck, this entire episode has a lot of his best lines.
One of my favorite AVGN episodes, his rage was on point here.
I can’t imagine how frustrating this game is, his rage honestly appears to be understandable lol
This was when his anger was still there.
Since years now mist of the reviews are just cussing and swearing. A placebo for anger.
Silver Surfer is supposed to be almost invincible, they made him as weak as a kitten in this game!
At least kittens doesn’t get hurt by simply touching a wall
I heard he once survived Darkseid’s Omega Beams in a crossover event!
@@mechanwhal6590 Lol that event isn’t canon
The man who beat Ghosts n' Goblins TWICE without save states can't beat a single level of this game. Wow. That really says something about the difficulty.

"It would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain" is one of the best metaphors this show has ever created
"would be easier to pick out fly out from pepper, all while wearing boxing gloves" wasn't bad either !
The count of Monte Cristo could do it lol
"What if they had Bruce Lee tripping over his own shoe laces" ... great metaphor!

But thats not the only irony
Silver surfer has the most mobility use in terms of character and powers in almost all of comics
This made me lol
And yet he dies from touching a rubber duck in this game.
The more I look at Silver Surfer, the more he looks like a knock-off precursor to Pepsi Man
More like the otehr way around though
Pepsi Man is just the Silver Surfer after he turned to Pepsi as a coping mechanism. This game mentally scarred him.
@@gengarzilla1685 *PEPSIMAAANNN*

Well, orange you a fucking idiot...
;P
@Rbo SMF
That actually makes sense.
i love this video no review no explaining the game too much its just him getting angry at the game love it
+Jake Espinoza Yeah, classic AVGN Style :)
i know rightttt
This is the best AVGN episode, bar none. His rage is so genuine and it's got some of the greatest quotes. "It would be easier to go outside during a thunderstorm and try and dodge rain" lmfao
I've watched this episode more than a dozen times, and I can NEVER see that camoflaged bullet coming through the trees until the close up. How anybody is meant to be able to beat this game is beyond me.
The bullets from the purple guns in that stage also travel faster than the ones from big turrets, so it fucks with your anticipation.
After a lot of deliberating I have to say that in my opinion this is the best AVGN episode. I mean the Ninja Gaiden episode was awesome and I keep rewatching the Castlevania reviews, Bugs Bunny episodes are cool as well but honestly whenever you're pissed off, just watch this episode and you will feel a lot better. This episode is the epitome of genuine frustration and the best nerd episode to date.
No, it isn't bad. It's f***ing HORRIBLE!!
"WHAT A CRUEL GAME"
NicholasMollison lol I read this comment exactly at the moment he said that xD
wATTA CROOL GAME.
Willy et scientia Same
It's been more than a decade and this is my favorite Nerd episode
its amazin how no reviewer/lets player/critic ever mentions the kick-ass music of this game.
DustMan2704 Its kind of like with games like Final Fantasy Mystic Quest or Guilty Gear Isuka. I would say those games have some of the best soundtracks ever compose for their respective system. Its too bad the gameplay for those games are so bad that we don’t notice the good that is the music.
Mystic Quest had some killer guitar riffs....
I always love coming back and watching these older nerd episodes. They never get old to me. Classic stuff James. Thanks for all the years of entertainment!
if only his board was not so god damn long - James Rofle
Silver surfer needs to play with board James, get it? XD
This is my absolute favorite AVGN episode, so many great quotes. It never gets old.
I love how he throws the cartridge at the wall at the end. I've done things like that.
He hit the LJN poster too.
He got a No-Scope
Any old-school gamer worth their salt has done things like that.
"It's like Bruce Lee tripping over his own shoe laces" lol
4:10 that's how the Surfer felt after the second Fantastic Four film
Nice!
This whole game was lowkey just the developers mocking Silver Surfer. LOL
9:56 Wow, so James is double jointed.
I've watched this episode countless times and I never noticed that. Well spotted.
Yep, I saw it.

"This game isn't bad. It's FUCKING HORRIBLE! And I DARE you to play it."
i beat it
Banana Mustard sure kid
The hilarity is that when playing the game, "Stick It To The Man". They actually mention Silver Surfer on the NES in the game. lol
11 year’s... I remember when this was new on yt. One of my favourite episodes :)
Back then we had Silver Surfer... Now we have Flappy Bird!
This comment is somehow more dated than the review of a NES game.
Totally Erect And Star Fox Zero.
Now we have cup head
Now we have fidget spinners
Now we have Fortnite if that counts
Made you think why the Fantastic 4 was having a hard time with the Silver Surfer when he is this weak.
They didn't have walls
LOL I saw Silver Silver fly through buildings and block missiles and shit. In the game he is killed by touching a cooking pot and by fish.
This is the Silver Surfer of the Fant4stic universe, except he was placed in the 616 universe by accident.
I CAN'T TOUCH THAT RED POT?!?!?
Jr. All Star that always gets me
That line is AWESOME!!!
I think he was genuinely angry there
6:18 Oh the days when AVGN drank Yuengling instead of Rolling Rock.
This is actually my all time favorite game for the NES. Awesome music and it's hard but fair. It gets very tense because the power ups are extremely important to progress, so if you die at a bad spot you're screwed.
9:58 Look at his hand...
I'm a fifth grade teacher by now and I recently had some Video Game History lessons. I took this shit to school, had the entire class play this mess and went like "Here you go! Enjoy my childhood you little shitheads". That session was priceless.
I CANT TOUCH THAT RED POT?!?!?! XD
This is what comes up when you search for "Best AVGN episode"
Holy cow, he's right! : O
Oh god, it's true!
This game looks like something you'd expect from a freakin' ROM hack..designed by Hitler.
OKay.
+Travis Retriever (Wolven) I don't think this game is bad. It's just hard af
OK yatzee (zero punctuation references!)
I'll rip off whomever I damn well please. 8-)
***** Urgh
Something about these classic AVGN episodes just hits me right in my nostalgia & feels 😳
that one jack-o-lantern that gets impaled and then its expression changes to sad is adorable.
One of all time best episodes of AVGN. Humour and analysis of the bad elements are perfect. Remember watching it back when it came out and started to love the AVGN Series.

It'd be easier to pick fly shit out of pepper... while wearing boxing gloves!
Addicted to AVGN videos at this point already after becoming a recent fan several months ago. I kept hearing the Theme Song on repeat in my head the other day after watching AVGN videos.
Possessor looks like Bret Hart
Speaking of Bret Hart, AVGN should review wrestling games mainly WWE from NES to PS1/N64
Doesnt Emporer look like Thanos?
Lmao so true
6:50 !!! " I CAN'T TOUCH THAT RED POT !!!! " LMFAO :)
steveN111333 that line is AWESOME
How i describe Dark souls 9:00
It's too bad, silver surfer could have been an NES classic
yeah if it wasnt one hit death and it had turbo built in
Agree, it has good music. Too bad they fucked up the gameplay.
LopsidedMender
Or if the enemies didn't take a million hits each, or if you weren't such a big target, or if you could touch the walls/ceiling/floor without dying instantly (seriously, couldn't they just knock him off course a little?), or if the powerups were better and more frequent, or if you resumed right where you died instead of at the start of the level, etc. Any of those things by themselves would have made the game a ton better. But it was like they took the difficulty of every NES game and crammed them into this one.
It isn't a bad game. It's just completely unforgiving and brutal. Unless you MASTER the game, you don't get to see the end. Not every game should hold your hand. Where's the accomplishment in those games anyways?
Dr.Beef
There's a difference between challenging and almost impossible to the point it sucks all the enjoyment out of the game. Batman for the NES was hard, but fun. Ninja Gaiden was VERY hard, but fun. Silver Surfer is just blargh.
I get you can master it if you're a masochist... I mean, stuck with it, but plenty of people stuck with Ninja Gaiden. Silver Surfer, not so much. And the end (from what I saw on playthroughs) just isn't worth the hassle.
10:50
"Man, I was just pissing shit all over this fucking game!"
LMAO! Just the tone of his voice and the way he said it was absolutely gut-busting in hilarity.
I also like the way he said "He looks so stupid!" in the beginning. That was hilarious.
