AVGN... Is a corporate now and the guy is just a failed movie director that is stuck in the one thing that made him popular so he just doesn't put the passion on it anymore.

And his last 3 year of videos are TERRIBLE.

While some of his stuff interested me, the whole shit / diarrhea ″joke″ shtick put me off right from beginning.

That's prime AVGN, if you don't like it then you missed the best part of it

Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy's recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?

for a second there i thought you were talking about AVNJ (the fish biology guy) and was immensely worried lol

Even it was AVNJ, you shouldn't let some random strangers on the internet ruin things you like. Every one has a skeleton in the closet but if you like the videos, watch them.

I stopped watching when i read that he's just the "actor" now. Now i watched two of his recent videos and they were way better than i expected. Not great, but it's not like it went full unwatchable garbage. I can see someone discovering his new video and go way back to see more. So i guess it's not that bad.

It's kinda sad t h at they seem to never to be able to make an actual good movie.
