* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: there's going to be an AVGN ''[[The Movie|movie.]]''
* [[Archive Binge]]: It's not unmanageable, but after 100+ episodes (and often roughly 10-1510–15 minutes of content per episode, with some being close to 30 minutes) spread over six years, it's not easy to get caught up if you're new or even if you're just rewatching a bunch of old favorites.
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]:
** His theme song, including all the different versions of it.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
** ''You're a Mean One Mr. Nerd''. With the music composed by [[Bear McCreary]].
* [[Base Breaker]]: James has mentioned that his Atari 5200 review has garnered mixed reactions. Some people dislike the fact that it doesn't show any games, instead being devoted entirely to the Nerd trying to get the console to work. Others find it hilarious for that exact reason.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: In the [[Action 52]] review, the whole "TV" version of saying "asshole".
{{quote|[[Visual Pun|"This game is shitting me."]]}}
** The end of his "Star Wars" review, where a buffalo shits through his window and breaks it.
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[He Panned It, Now He Sucks]]: See [[8.8]] example above. Suffered this after his ''Castlevania III'' review, even though he called it his favorite of the NES Trilogy and only panned the [[Nintendo Hard|cheap difficulty.]]
** He panned the [[Sega Genesis|Genesis]] port of ''[[Altered Beast]]'' in his 2010 Christmas video, and not soon later people began complaining.
** A day after his review on ''[[Metal Gear 1987(video game)|Metal Gear]]'' got released on [[YouTube]], the video was suddenly flagged for unknown reasons, probably because some ''Metal Gear'' fans were a bit angry with his criticism of the game.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Making fun of the potential title of the fourth ''Rambo'' movie. At one point before the release, the fourth ''Rambo'' movie was actually called ''John Rambo'' and the title remained as such in certain territories. Lampshaded in the ''Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' review and, aptly enough, ''Rambo'' review.
** At the end of his original ''Back To The Future'' review, he destroyed the cart for ''Back To The Future Parts II & III'' by putting it in his toaster. As of mid-2010, the Nerd has switched to having the "Nintoaster" as his main way of playing NES games, which -- aswhich—as he himself noted in his revisit of the ''BTTF'' games -- madegames—made his actions at the end of the original review look bizarrely prescient.
*** Speaking of his ''Back To The Future'' review, go watch it again. He says that he'll never play the game again, that it's his last time. What does he do in 2010? He plays it again for his re-review.
** In his McKids review, he mentions "There are definitely much crappier games such as ''Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout'' and ''Silver Surfer,'' for example." Guess which two games he reviews nearly a year later?
Line 45 ⟶ 44:
*** In that same video, he talks about both the [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]] and [[Mega Man X]] series, and says, "Now if only they made a Mega Man 9, it would come full circle." Guess what Capcom made a couple years later.
*** Also, he tries to use Guile's Theme to make it seem like Street Fighter in his review, only to say it doesn't work. This makes it one of the few exceptions to Guile's Theme Goes With Everything (though it predates the meme).
** When the Nerd is experimenting with the Laser Scope and trying to get it to fire when he swears, he says "[[Thirty30 Hs (Fanfic)"H"s|fuckfire]]".
** In the ''Bible Games 3'' review, the Nerd mentions the strange sight of a bird laying an egg while flying and compares it to a marathon runner running a marathon and then giving birth. This really did happen to a New York City Marathon runner a few months before the review was released.
** Some aspects of the Nerd's review of ''Godzilla: Monster of Monsters'' seem downright prophetic if you've read the [[NES Godzilla Creepypasta]], particularly when he rants about how much [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]] and claims "the game fucking cheats". In Zachary's experience, the game did indeed try to cheat - to ''kill'' him.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
** "BEE-SHEVENTEHN BAWWWWWWMMMMEERRRRRR!"
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: Some fans of the Nerd begun to quote him and accept his word as fact. Never mind that he has, in fact, made several research failures - especially around Castlevania, and even then, he was never intended as a legitimate reviewer, but as a comedian and a ''parody'' of [[Accentuate the Negative]] reviewers and isn't meant to be taken seriously.
* [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]]: LJN did not develop all the games they published. Most of their games were actually externally developed by other companies such as [[Rare]], Beam Software, Pack-in Video, and [[Atlus]]. Among the games LJN ''did'' develop are ''Gotcha! The Sport'' and ''[[Jaws (video game)|Jaws]]''.
** Though kind of a [[Fridge Brilliance]] if you think about it, someone who's living in the 80's/90's will have no idea who actually made those games, so naturally anyone would have just blame the company on the cover.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: R.O.B. crossed it when he {{spoiler|almost}} killed the Nerd in Episode #100.
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[The Woobie]]: Kyle Justin managed to become one in mere minutes, on the same episode where it justifies his [[A Day in the Limelight|day before the camera]].
