Of course almost every episode has the most well known elements of the AVGN show: That being anger, regardless of how horribly made the game is. Heck, exagerration is what makes the show fun.

This is the iconic formula that stuck on from Season 3 onwards, that, people forget that AVGN can't just be flanderized to angry maniac, it builds up from the "washed-up" being still playing video games as an adult. Heck, it's the opposite that him being less angry makes him less AVGN; it's the fact that only the anger is the centerpoint of the character people criticized on (aside from Youtube sucking balls), that made the show lose its identity.

But of course the show's "reviews" are unintentionally responsible for getting people on bandwagons on games due to well, "The Nerd said it", for years and years, lmao.

Recent examples I could think of that got some attention was Ecco the Dolphin. The former even having the creator tweeting about it. During this time, the Nerd hadn't really touched any okay or just average, or praisable ones then dumped on it. It's like back to Castlevania 2. (Though this would be hit or miss, especially if there's not enough material to exagerrate and be funny on)

You, what's your favorite AVGN character formula on the show? I know Rolfe made his own episode formulas, but this is on the character. I've grown to like Season 1 and 2 more looking back.

I’m genuinely curious as to what the original is, I don’t remember him doing that dance as far as I could tell.
