Am I the only one who thinks that AVGN is just JonTron, but unfunny? Does anyone really enjoys his videos now? I can understand back in the day when it was the only option, but now he seems hopelessly outdated to me.

>now
not really but his pre 2011 stuff is great
i rewatch lots of his earlier stuff often. its always so surreal to me when he says some shit like "its 2008" and im like damn, this was 11 years ago and im still doing the exact same stuff now as i did before, just as a slightly shittier human

He's just not your cup of tea maybe this guy is better for you.

I actually like both of them.

I shidd meself then Scream, like this : PPPPPPPPPFGFFFGGGGFFFTTTHHHHHHHH AAAAAAHHH

JonTron literally took multiple episode ideas from James because the latter had success with them.

His new stuff is cringey, and I'm not being a dick when I say that. I know how good his work used to be, and his old stuff prior to episode #120-ish was the definition of god-tier. It's almost like watching an unfunny parody anymore.

I still enjoy his stuff. Watched him since he posted his videos on his website. And him and jontrons humor are vastly different what do you even mean?

I think where I liked Jontron more was that AVGN is a lot of shit jokes. Like, it's smearing chocolate pudding on everything and acting like you know better when you are a 40 year old man playing childrens entertainment and using feces related humour for the majority of your content.

Jontron took the format idea, made it more like Spoony and it made it a "snap-snap. Do this, funny comment, bird talks, crappy editing for something and laughing at how stupid it is while making the occasional tard screech."

His new videos are pretty good as well, if not the old formula. He just evolved into a new sense of how his comedy works.

But you have to know, OP, that James is literally the God-tier forever because he was the first and to this day he's still so sincere about his character and STILL GOING. Yeah he's cringey, but depending on when/what age you picked him up, he always has been. That's part of what makes him the AVGN.

Regardless, he's still the God-king of review videos and always will be.

It's honestly insane that by now he hasn't received the recognition he deserves and I think in the far, or perhaps near, future he'll be crowned as one of the greats of internet culture.

He says his catchphrases without any soul anymore.
I think he should take a break. Most of his script is just catchphrases.

lay off the coke Mike

>His new stuff is cringey
it's the same shit.

At least James makes more than 3 videos a year unlike Jon "fucks off to play wow for a year" Tron

What is it about Scat Humour that entertains you?

The problem with the new stuff is that he never played those games as a kid, no memories of frustration.

He is the simpsons of eceleb shit.
I had my limit with the sonic 06 vid, it was already gping to shit before the movie, now is just beating a dead horse, not to mention reviewing things just way out of his league. You can keep watching him but it wont get better, only worse, norhing can last forever without smelling like shit.

>jontron
Lol he is even worse.

Jontron is ok.

Some episodes make me laugh some of them are just like oh hey im trying to fit in with a new generation im so funny random hehee XD

Old avgn was funny NEW avgn is scripted not funny but still enjoyable to watch.

LAST JON TRON VIDEO I SAW it was like 90% him and 10% of the shit hes making fun of.

I can still rewatch Old AVGN, Jontron didn't age as well

It may be the same shit, but I can watch his old videos over and over hundreds of times and still get a really good laugh here and there. I can't remember the last time I genuinely laughed at a new AVGN.

thats nostalgia and your expectations talking

I rewatched his 4 part Castlevania video along with some other AVGN videos this week and they're still as good as I remember. The problem with his new videos is that the profanity feels so much more forced as if he's checking off a list of vulgar things to say.

It's really not. On paper, it would appear that way, but the tone of his old videos just made it work. It's almost like he tries too hard, now. There was a certain laidback-ness to his old reviews that just lent itself so well to the humor of when he'd just go off about how bad the game is.

I liked jontron when he mad vids of older games that people knew of and were flawed. When he started doing obscure really old games no one knew of then I lost interest.

>implying fatknacker is funny
kys

Jon basically admitted he won't do another vidya review again and now only does unfunny skits and H3H3-esque reaction videos.

I still very much enjoy AVGN, but I don't know how to feel about the fact that I think I now enjoy his Rental Reviews about movies I've never even seen before more

James is likable but the Nerd act is just played out at this point. Its what he's known for and is what gets the most views though so he keeps doing it.

Really his channel needs someone with some charm and some bants to back him up. He and Mike have a decent repartee but Mike can be kind of a wanker and no one else at Cinnemassacre can really hold their own. Losing Bootsy was a major loss, he was charming, he had good bantz and he was actually good at games. The channel has been in decline since he left.

Jon stopped being funny around the time he started associating with H3H3 and is now just kind of H3H3 lite. The last video of his I really liked was Are You Afraid of the Dark, and that shit was four years ago. AVGN I never really found funny.

That's saddening. It seems nearly everyone from normal boots is losing their flare and what made them special. At least we still have the completion isn't left.

He is okay. But nu-avgn sucks. His last good video was the Gameboy Accessories.

Rate the worst episode. Only rule it has to be before episode 116 (E.T. Atari video)
For my money: Toxic Crusaders

Kaufman is too weird even for AVGN.
