    I think you need to cut down a bit on the tea, Mike. ;)

    Super Mario Brothers? Don't think I've ever heard of it. You sure do like the obscure ones.

    Wait a minute! Your a sock! How are you even able to play this game?
  • DrProsec
    Nice to see you back Mike. Clearly on drugs, but back all the same.

    I wish my sock was awesome enough to play mario... all mine does is write bad fanfiction :dry:

    You are truly mad Mike, good show.

    That game looks neat. I should check it out. What did you say its name was?

    The sock is also a very original new character. I really like to see people trying new concepts like that.

    Nice job MikeJ! Glad to see you back on the site!
  • RanCossack  - Oh the socksanity.
    Gotta say, I hope this isn't a one time thing, though I gotta say, don't have him imitate the Angry Video game Nerd. He's a fantastic character on his own, without the imitation, though I found it funny none the less.

    Keep up the interesting work!

    umm... what was that and what is this tickling in the back of my brain... I'm so confused
  • Colme  - Nice!

    Nice parody! Tough the entire premise of the sketch was crazy awesome.

    LOL That montage of pics at the end.

    I lost brain cells watching this but I don't care, It was funny.

    Sigh...

    Sorry Mike, but this just isn't good. I've seen similar gimmicks on youtube using characters like master chief, and this isn't any different. Ripping off AVGN doesn't make it funnier just because you admit it.

    And while I am of the belief that puppets can make anything funny (Little Miss Gamer can back me up on this one), a sock who pops up not doing a lot of quarky movments doesn't help. And a flashing green blurr every 5 seconds doesn't make this video any more appealing.

    Sorry Mike, but it's just not your best work.

    Ditto. Poorly ripping off James Rolfe's shtick isn't very funny. Especially when you're pretty much relying on also poorly playing a video game that everybody's grandmother is familiar with. It's just boring and painful.
  • CageAquarium
    I think it is adorable the way your accent pokes through here and there.
  • SpiderSlayr
    I don't know why so many people are complaining. This video is a couple of years old and I think it's pretty funny. It just has some technical problems. :dry:

    Oh well. Awesome job, Mike!

    requiem for a dream, that score can be set to a video of a kitten napping and make it epic.
  • eyespy
    OMG the montage is so epic.

    But I think you need to lay off the drugs Mike. :cheer:

    I know he's saying stuff, but all I can hear is "Nekbone! NEKBONE! Nek-BONE! Nek! BONE!"

    Seriously though, interesting diversion from your usual stuff, Mike :D
  • Timeswordsman  - No more Angry Sock?

    I am so sorry about Nessy, Mr. Sock...

    Do you think there will be any more Angry Sock episodes?
    I have been following ever since you started reviewing entertainment way back in 1539 and I don't know if i could take you quiting...
    My entire life revolves around your show,

    I was there when you started,

    I was there when you asked the hard questions like "Just how is babby formed?",

    I was there you met Ms. Nesy,

    I was there when she became Misses Sock and now I was there when you lost her.

    I give you my greatest condolences... Good luck,
    -Dr. Destructo, Commander of all evil.

    Great show Mike!

    Glad to have you back, nice to see more of us weird hand-sock wearing British chaps on TGWTG :P At least, I'm not alone any more!

    Keep up the great work mate!

    Cheers,
    Harv :cheer:

    While I do enjoy the Sock and the insanity he provides, I'd like to see him in more original pieces. This wasn't a bad experiment, though.

    Rest in Peace, Nesy.

    I remember watching this over a year ago. Still funny, though.
  • yourworstnightmare
    Couldn't stop laughing. Awesome AVGN parody.

    BTW, any Shameful Sequels coming up? I think Film Brain is stealing your show.

    I'm sorry, but I thought that was average, if you want a real video game reviewer parody go and see IGSRJ on youtube, he's the man, he really imitates the angry reviewer style well

    what happened to the '80s sock?

    still a pretty good video.

    super mario bros., eh?

    i doubt too many people played it.

    Did the sock just say the word fuck and then tore the lid of the nintendo? Too much tea Mike

    Good to see you back!
  • Mr.Cocklips
    I like to put socks on my hands then go for a ride in my van on cold winter nights.I pick up hot gay homeless men and give them handjobs to keep them warm. Maybe try that in your next video.
