My favorite would have to be "Bear" and "The Irate Comic Reviewer" seeing Linkara make that angry face is really just adorable! Its like a toddler pouting because he doesn't get his way. Seriously its cute.
And yay Bear! I just love him! *huggles Bear*

YES, THAT BEAR IS TRULY THE GREATEST CRITIC AND REVIEWER OF OUR GENERATION.
He should like, be the new host or something!

The Irate Gamer one was gold, and now has me clamoring for a "worst of IG" video on YouTube.
Also, it's now official -- Ghost Love Score IS the most epic-sounding song ever made.

I hadn't realized there was any doubt about that.

It's not the most epic song ever when you realize the same band had made far better and more epic sounding songs before that (such as FantasMic and The Pharaoh Sails to Orion) and that other bands like Therion, Blind Guardian, Virgin Steele, Edenbridge, and Stratovarius have made songs as epic if not moreso. That song is okay, but I've always found it one of Nightwish's more overrated ones.
Anyhow, this was a lot of fun though I was kind of looking forward to the bear actually reviewing "one more day" but hey it was still amusing.

Video 1: His silence is really on the money. Let's face it, what more can really be said about One More Day at this point?
Video 2: *sigh* When your right, your right.
Video 3: I sense much anger in you. We've seen Mechakara, Linksano, and now someone who is truly opposite of your usual persona. Dare I name him...(pause for effect)... Negakara?

For a few seconds there, there was no "watch video" link by the title card in the side bar, and I assumed that WAS the April Fools "special". :P
Oh, and Bear's review kinda reminded me of that fire channel that's on around Christmas in a constant loop... which, I suppose, would make you like those hands that occasionally come in and prod the fire. Maybe they SHOULD loop an all bear channel around April Fools. I'd watch it.

Thanks Linkara all three were great vids. Though to be honest I didn't get who you were doing a parody of (if anyone) you did in the third vid.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:22 | WarxePB
Specifically the Irate Gamer (a third-rate copycat of the AVGN), but I like to think it can apply to anyone who reviews stuff (badly) on the Internet.
-
04.03.2011 - 00:20 | Valis77
then who's the second rate? lol!
-
08.11.2011 - 09:51 | KingKaor555
The Irate Gamer parody just......awesome. Truly awesome. Spot on, Linkara, spot on.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:05 | Majin47
If he were truly a bear, wouldn't he have been ripping your throat out if in the same room?
Just saying...
-
Shame on you, Linkara. Shame on you. How could you force poor Bear to read/review One More Day? That empty stare... I don't know if I'll ever be able to forget that stare.
*begins to cry softly*
-
04.01.2011 - 22:06 | OniQ
Damn rights bear! That comic was terrible! I agree with everything you just said!
Happy April Fools!
-
04.01.2011 - 22:21 | SeaSloth
how could you!? you took away three mins of my life.. all well I can take a joke.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:19 | suicidalparrot
Lol there was way too much originality and competence in the last vid to be a proper Irate parody.
Happy April Fool's Day, Zeldara.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:33 | GermnobleThat irate gamer review was pretty classless, even if he does blow chunks and your review was good the fact that another irate gamer parody was removed by channel awesome should be a big enough clue for you to remove this one.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:15 | Semudara
You know what the difference is? This is an actual, funny parody, as opposed to the tasteless jab by Blistered Thumbs that you're referring to.
-
04.02.2011 - 05:26 | TheBrigeedaRocks
@Semudara: There was another parody before this one? I hadn't even heard of the Irate Gamer until this video...
That Bear is going places, just you wait and see! He'll have his own review channel on TGWTG in no time at all.
-
04.03.2011 - 03:17 | RadeltaNot really. The one on blistered thumbs made all the same kind of jokes linkara did.
-
04.02.2011 - 04:54 | dennett316
The Irate Gamers "work" is as open to parody and critique as any of the comics, movies or games covered on these sites...I really don't see your problem with this or how it can be construed as classless. You even admit the IG is a bad reviewer, so what's the problem?
-
04.02.2011 - 11:34 | ShitheadI think the bigger problem was how unsubtle the parody was. With lines like, "I never read it, so it's stupid!", I'd say it'd be more sublte to run about and flap your arms while screaming "I'm Chris Bores! I poop in my pants! Blah blah blah!"
-
04.01.2011 - 22:35 | SpeedyEric
I just really, REALLY love how you make fun of The I.R.A.T.E (Irritating Ripoffing Asshole of Terrible Entertainment) "Gamer." Lewis, you are king.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:20 | LikaLaruku
But his chosen name was pretty clever; Irate (angry) & I rate (which he does).
Don't dis him just for ripping though though; The Nerd is actually subscribed to his show. The poor guy just isn't that good at acting.
-
04.02.2011 - 17:26 | AlucardsQuest
The Nerd is not subscribed to IG. Mike Matei (who runs the Youtube pages) might have added him as a friend, but that doesn't mean anything. Mike added me as a friend too. The only things that James Nintendo Nerd is subscribed to on YT are his associates (past and present) from ScrewAttack and his own other channels.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:37 | Isaac232
I think the problem with the last one was that it seemed more like an attack (even though it wasn't imo) than a parody. This is a straight-up parody without having to mention the name. Just say, "Take a new direction" and there you go, we know exactly what you mean.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:37 | TragicGuineaPig
Way to go, Zeldara!
-
04.01.2011 - 22:48 | Ameute
I can't wait for bear's second review.
I'm with Jackass Mask; Negakara.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:48 | EarthboundXE
I had no idea the Irate Gamer was still around, the last time I paid attention to his videos was a couple years ago, it seemed like he hadn't had a new one for about a year.
So I guess I figured he stopped making videos.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:51 | ShanetefilmmakerOk I was officially creeped out by the bear I was kinda hoping it was gonna be a screamer at the end.
-
04.01.2011 - 22:51 | LadyTerra
Video 1: Bear is as cute as always. Sometimes, nothing needs to be said.
Video 2: Thanks for the bit of Vogon poetry in the credits.
Video 3: At first, I thought you were doing a parody of Bulk from the sound of your voice, but others here say you're spoofing the Irate Gamer. I'm a little afraid to find out if he really is that bad.
-
04.02.2011 - 09:50 | Falcovsleon20
Yes he really is that bad. I'll save you the trouble of watching his videos by just linking you to his TvTropes page: http://tvtropes.org/ pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ TheIrateGamer
-
08.11.2011 - 09:55 | KingKaor555All in favor of making Bear a permanant reviewer say I. I!!
-
04.01.2011 - 22:51 | joneau261
The first two: well, I'll take your word for it.
Third one: Having been following BatDan's blog as of late, I fully understand what's going on. Normally, I would say that this is a very over the top parody... except that's exactly what the Irate Gamer is. All I can really say is WIN
-
Forever scarred by reading that abomination of a comic :(
Linkara...why do you spoil us with your awesomeness? Also, your bear plus Benzaie's bear should totally do crossover reviews! :D
-
04.01.2011 - 22:58 | pharmmajor
I thought the videos were funny, but why is the Irate Gamer getting mocked so much? Isn't he old news? I haven't really seen much from him lately.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:05 | foxbomber5
Well done. I love a good spoofing, especially when someone deserves it.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:17 | LikaLarukuI say, who's the hatless bloke in the 3ed video? He looks somewhat familiar...Oh who am I kidding, these web reviewers all look alike.
"This is SO stupid! The ONLY way I'll be able to get through this comic is by cheating." XD "Phantasmic Four."
You can call the new character "The Irate Comic Book Troll" lol.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:16 | Undertaker91

The Irate Comic Reviewer Show
coming to SpikeTV(flashes the MTV logo)
-
04.01.2011 - 23:33 | Quantum Wolf
I haven't watched Irate Gamer, nor do I intend to, so if he really is like that, oh lord.
But still awesome vids, though my favorite among the three's gotta be the 3rd one as a PR fan. Was all the intentionally wrong stuff (IT USED FOOTAGE THAT WAS IMPORTED FROM CHINA FROM A STUPID SHOW THAT DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH!) a trademark of IG?
-
04.01.2011 - 23:34 | Lhyriad
I'm not sure Beary would appreciate what you're implying in the first video.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:37 | Zerbin
1st video: just good stuff.
2nd video: didn't read it, looked it up to figure out what was so bad about it. Eesh...
3rd video: ~~~~~ehhhh, a little long. Maybe I just don't get the joke.
Anyways, what series does that ranger in the front at 0:47 come from? I recognize them all except that one.
-
04.01.2011 - 23:47 | Quantum WolfAkaRed, meant to be the embodiment of all the then-30 Super Sentai red rangers. Appeared in full only in the movie "Boukenger VS Super Sentai".
What's so special about him? Well...

-
04.01.2011 - 23:59 | ZerbinThanks, I appreciate it!
-
04.01.2011 - 23:47 | Linkara
From what I understand, he's from the 30th anniversary of super sentai special, supposedly embodying the spirits of all red sentai warriors.
I'm probably wrong, though. XD
-
04.01.2011 - 23:59 | ZerbinThanks, it was bugging me that I couldn't place it. Appreciate the help.
-
04.05.2011 - 16:28 | TheWrittenDemon
@ Zerbin
He's parodying the Irate Gamer.
Also is it wrong for me to want to see more of the"I rate Comic-bookz" reviewer?
-
04.01.2011 - 23:40 | Random_Ninja_5Glorious! I laughed the whole time. Love Bear's review of One More Day - very insightful. Loved the Vogon Poem in the credits of Titans. And the who iRate Comix was hilarious! Great April Fools videos, my friend. You left me in stitches.
-
04.05.2011 - 16:30 | TheWrittenDemon@ Random_Ninja_5
I actually fell for the "Bear reviews OMD" joke. :p I actually expected the bear to start talking, and wasted 2 minutes waiting for him to do so. :LOL:
