Poll: AVGN vs. Yahtzee

[Dafttechno]

It's a battle for the ages. Who is the most profane, who has the foulest mouth, whose vulgar imagery makes you cringe the worst? Will it be Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw or James "Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Ahhh! vs thread, get it away!



OT: Considering I've only seen ZP, my opinion is slightly biased.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Iv seen a few videos form AVGN but i just like Yahtzee better.

I dunno why i just do.

 

[Torrasque]

You mean, which one do I enjoy the most?
Seems like picking between Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy, Metroid vs. Legend of Zelda, Zweihanders vs. Claymores =/

I'd say I like Yahtzee a LITTLE bit more, because his reviews are more contemporary, and you know whenever he gives a game praise, it is legitimately good, since he seems to do NOTHING but throw shit at games.
AVGN seems to praise games as much as de-praise them, which is fine, but not as amusing as Yahtzee imo; besides that, when you know Yahtzee likes a game, that is saying something. When you know AVGN likes a game, then he could just be saying that he wouldn't mind playing it again.

They both have their own unique form of cursing, mocking, insulting, whatever you call it, and I like them both.
Seems I'll have to go with Amon Amarth, Metroid, and Zweihanders for this one.

EDIT:

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I'm not inclined to declare my loyalty to either, but I do find Yahtzee to be funnier, and he does offer some clever analogies and witty quips from time to time, whereas AVGN just swears and acts pissy.

now im new here (just joined today) but i thought this was against the rules to do vs threads?

also conidering one of the nominees is on this site its a bit bias. no?

 

[tomtom94]

Yahtzee all the way. I recently gave up on AVGN ever being funny again.

Yeah, I agree.
I really like Yahtzee's metaphors and wordplay, probably the main reason I've watched almost every single one of his reviews (last page will be done this week )
AVGN's vocabulary consists of: shit, ass, donkey, dick, fuck, balls. Vulgarity can be amusing (see: Tourettes guy), in AVGN's case, it seems like he just lacks vocabulary.

 

[MazeMinion]

I like Yahtzee's style more, but AVGN has made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair.

 

[waive]

While AVGN has the best theme tune, and I agree with him more so then ZP, ZP is much funnier, or maby i've just grown out of touch with AVGN, as I haven't kept up with his reviews for a couple months know.

Although the Nostalgia Critic I still find funnier than either, but I suppose he doesn't count because he doesn't review games. But in the review where he did review a game, it was rather great.

 

[Travis Raymond]

I'm shocked SHOCKED that Yahtzee would be the more popular on the forum of the web site he's on!

 

[vrbtny]

AVGN? Is that some sort of version of AVG internet security? /burn

Sorry, I've never heard of the guy.(But by reading up about him, I'll give it a miss.)

I don't find swearing for no reason funny.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

i'd say they're both about equally profane and foul-mouthed. but as far as a *favorite* goes, i'd pick Yahtzee for his turns-of-phrase. he's much more creative with the language.

 

[Jazzyjazz2323]

Yahtzee mainly because I dont give a fuck about games older than me.

 

[PrototypeC]

You know what? Yahtzee is a foul little guttersnipe (in the best way), but he only ever made me cringe with his metaphors.

I had to stop watching that friggin' Nerd because he keeps doing those shit little live-action fights with Bugs Bunny and the like, meanwhile slapping around RARE NES CARTRIDGES THAT BELONG IN A F**KIN' MUSEUM. I swear he's broken something that can't be replaced already. I can't watch his shit anymore for that reason alone. Respect your impressive collection, Nerd, or I swear the real Nintendo fans will f**kin' lynch you one day.

 

[Amazigh]

I like both equally, Yahtzee is more amusing, but AVGN seems to fish up worse games, it's interesting just to see how bad they are.

 

[SuperCombustion]

Yahtzee is epic... nuff said

 

[Les Awesome]

tch AVGN already beat the crap outta nostalgic critic bugs bunny, cowardly lion,
joker and bugs bunny
he'll take on yahtzee any day

 

[Colonel Mustard]

AVGN is amusing, but Yahtzee's brilliant use of wordplay, imagery, metaphor and much more self-detrimental humour is what really clinches it in his favour, if I'm honest.

 

[Weaver]

I find I always look forward to the next AVGN more than Yahtzee (as they're generally long and lavish productions) however, Yahtzee posts once a week whereas the AVGN usually does a video like once a month.
