he took too much away from what it was actually supposed to be about. instead of celebrating developers he kind of takes it away. i'm normally a big fan of Joel McHale but it was clearly a bad choice to use him for this event
+Seth Buchanan The Oscars are a big circlejerk too. Movies you actually enjoyed watching get shit on, while all the "super important" dramas that were only written to be a springboard for some name in Hollywood win everything. When people say they want gaming to "grow up", this is what they mean. Tasteless, pretentious horseshit that's sole purpose is to build clout and make careers.
Yeah, nah, Joel pretty much just showed how awful this whole thing is and the Dorito-Dew guy was just afraid he wasn't going to get his money if he's not trying to save the train-wreck.
Lol ''like the female orgasm, it doesnt exist'' That was freaking amazing. I laughed for like 10 minutes straight. More because the situation and not the actual joke
Joel was right to shit on the production set. Nothing's more awkward than 4 dudes just standing around not moving much, taking turns and talking for 10 second intervals in what I presume to be someone trying to replicate an upscale studio apartment (with a car in it).
This dude is absolutely hilarious. He's also incredibly inappropriate. I pretty much dig him and his style but Keighly looked so damn uncomfortable with some of the stuff he said. I think maybe Geoff made it look worse than it was but that's just MO.
I could throw up to these developers.. "It's my favorite character!" "Look how much fun I have!" Thank good Joel was there with his snarky comments to not make this a total jerk fest..
"VG stands for video games and the X stands for 'Xenu' the one true god - over to you Geoff!" Fucking funny though... This trainwreck of a show is quite funny in retrospect.
For all the praise Geoff gets for being gaming's biggest journalist, it's people like Joel McHale who remind him of how much of a corporate tool he's become.
The game industry is falling into a cancerous abyss, but if is to happen at all, I hope it happens exactly like this: the guy from The Soup tearing shills and marketers to shreds and doing it without a single ounce of seriousness.
It's a shame No Man's Sky got near next to no coverage. The way Joel was talking about it I think show's his humbleness towards the amazing and close-nit dev team. Indie games like that, which are made from the heart and stand as amazing testaments to the creativeness of individuals, are a dying breed. Truly these are a dark time for games and this highlights one half of the issues with the AAA gaming industry.
Exactly! glad someone gets it! This show was a joke before he was there, he was just making sure everyone knew it, lol And how can you hate someone for giving Geoff Keighley shit XD
It only got awkward because Geoff kept trying to "damage control" everything Joel was doing. He could just play along and not be vague when answering him. Like, which game consumed most of your time, just answer it. You got a comedian to host your show, let him do his thing. But Geoff was more interested in acting like "hey, everything is great, everything is awesome in this industry."
liddddddd I think it was more that he was given absolute SHIT to work with (because he's definitely reading from a teleprompter), so he went "Okay, this sucks, I know it sucks, everyone knows it sucks..... so screw it, if they want me to say this, I'm gonna make sure it sounds as painful and forced as it really is." And I almost have to respect him for it.
I remember watching this and finding it all so boring, looking back now and realising what a corporate circlejerk the entire thing was Joel was so fucking right to shit over the entire thing.
exciting - super excited - i am excited - this is exciting - so exciting - amazing - the most excited - it's amazing - fantastic - they're amazing - it's all amazing and exciting and fantastic and I'm super excited
Hearing Joel call someone else Geoff is really surreal to me. This doesn't feel like an award ceremony. This feels like a pre taped pre show that comes on BEFORE the actual ceremony.
Joel was the only person to see how much of a shitshow this entire event was and acted accordingly god it's amazing how much Geoff Keighly turned this event into the game awards
Geoff is like the kid that gets punched in school for liking vidya, only he just likes devs' big pockets, and Joel is like a dudebro punching him all night, right in the feels
![บุษบา - เมนทอล [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IGnWPokSEis/mqdefault.jpg)
I think Joel was so unimpressed by the lack of professionalism of the producers, he decided to just destroy everything.
He went off teleprompter within SECONDS of the show starting. You can just see the panic of the Popes face.
Geoff really didn't know what to dew in that situation.
See I feel like Reggie knew how to play on joe's sarcasm. Geoff, not so much. It's true; Reggie's body is always ready
I love how Joel keeps asking doritos pope his favorite game, and he refuses to answer since he doesn't want to step on any toes.
"Have you ever seen anything like this?"
"Well, I've seen iPads."
NO GAMES
Just like the Wii U, for like almost 1 year and most of the good ones in 2014.
Basically.
W101 is fun, but NO GAMES is pretty accurate.
People were bitching about him? He was clearly the best part!
he took too much away from what it was actually supposed to be about. instead of celebrating developers he kind of takes it away. i'm normally a big fan of Joel McHale but it was clearly a bad choice to use him for this event
Nick Ellison Well as he himself says, it was more one big seres of advertisements then it was celebrating developers.

It’s funny I was like 15 back then and I remember being annoyed at Joel mchale but now as a huge community fan I would love this
It's like a sub plot from community. Classic Winger.
Yeah, nah, Joel pretty much just showed how awful this whole thing is and the Dorito-Dew guy was just afraid he wasn't going to get his money if he's not trying to save the train-wreck.
Agreed 100%. Joel knew exactly what a shitshow this was and had a blast with it. I loved every second of him.
That ending. Jesus fuck.
Watch as he dethrones his holiness.
That's possibly the most awkward duo I've ever seen.
Joel looks legitimately mad/annoyed after the Pewdiepie segment.
I dream of a world where Joel is responsible for every piece of video game coverage ever.
Are the crew laughs in the background legit? Thats hilarious
You can tell Geoff is out of his element, there is no Doritos or Mountain Dew around...
....I thought he was fucking hilarious. Awkward at times, yes, but holy fuck, I laughed alot.
Yeah man all the 4th grade dick and ball jokes were HILARIOUS!
Lol Jeff trying to politely kick Joel out and Joel just dug into him
Lol ''like the female orgasm, it doesnt exist''
That was freaking amazing. I laughed for like 10 minutes straight. More because the situation and not the actual joke
That shit is completely true when your girl is on her period or just pissed off at you. Or her kid is sleeping in the same room. And a lot more stuff.
Joel McHale is truly amazing.
The "Holy crap" always gets me. Just noticed all the crew members laughing in the background too.
Its like an episode of The Soup.
Video game journalism is a fucking joke. It doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.
There's very little honesty in it. It's always "this game looks amazing, thanks for sharing"
If this is the next generation of the VGA's...the next generation must suck.
Joel was right to shit on the production set. Nothing's more awkward than 4 dudes just standing around not moving much, taking turns and talking for 10 second intervals in what I presume to be someone trying to replicate an upscale studio apartment (with a car in it).
This video is going to make a lot of tears at some point.
My god, Joel is like /v/ in a room full of redditors...
Still true to this day
/v/ is reddit
Those layer jokes were so freakin funny
"If you tell me which game you love the most, I'll buy you four more layers."
This dude is absolutely hilarious. He's also incredibly inappropriate. I pretty much dig him and his style but Keighly looked so damn uncomfortable with some of the stuff he said. I think maybe Geoff made it look worse than it was but that's just MO.
Joel shows how you actually care about Ethics in Gaming Journalism
I love Joel
its like this guy just browsed /v/ for research on what to talk about
I could throw up to these developers.. "It's my favorite character!" "Look how much fun I have!" Thank good Joel was there with his snarky comments to not make this a total jerk fest..
"VG stands for video games and the X stands for 'Xenu' the one true god - over to you Geoff!"
Fucking funny though... This trainwreck of a show is quite funny in retrospect.
12:30, rare footage of Joel actually being impressed.
For all the praise Geoff gets for being gaming's biggest journalist, it's people like Joel McHale who remind him of how much of a corporate tool he's become.
I love the contrast. One is a mouthpiece who is taking everything too seriously and the other guy has no filter and doesn’t really care to be there.
The game industry is falling into a cancerous abyss, but if is to happen at all, I hope it happens exactly like this: the guy from The Soup tearing shills and marketers to shreds and doing it without a single ounce of seriousness.

Hehehe
What? you people didnt laugh your ass off at joel disrespecting everything about this shitty show? lol I was laughing the entire video.
Exactly! glad someone gets it!
This show was a joke before he was there, he was just making sure everyone knew it, lol
And how can you hate someone for giving Geoff Keighley shit XD
Joel you are the best

you missed the part where gone home was announced best pc game and nobody clapped
Geoff is such a beta
In nomine Doritos, et Dewii, et Spiritūs Xancti, Amen
Geoff was just staring at him with those soulless eyes....
DORITO POPE NOOOOOOOO
DORITO POPE YES, BE-YOTCH. >:T
This guy is the only thing good about the spike awards. Everyone else is just trying to make it awkward, unfun and other buzzwords gaymers don't like.
***** Far from it. Love this guy for asking all the hard questions.
he was awful
liddddddd I think it was more that he was given absolute SHIT to work with (because he's definitely reading from a teleprompter), so he went "Okay, this sucks, I know it sucks, everyone knows it sucks..... so screw it, if they want me to say this, I'm gonna make sure it sounds as painful and forced as it really is." And I almost have to respect him for it.
"Gaymer"
#Dewritos #BasedJoel
This was awesome! Thanks!
wow he really doesnt want to be there lol
i love joel so much
I can't wait for the next one. Joel is hilarious.
Weird how people in the comments thinks Joel was the best part in VGX 2013 when he's was the reason VGX is done.
No man's sky looked better back then, what a surprise.
His Holiness should lighten up a bit.
Joel is fucking awesome
Wow this year was awful,Joel was the only one that made it bearable...
"you guys look like k-ci, jojo, and mary j blige" lol a bunch of performers gamers have never heard of
I remember watching this and finding it all so boring, looking back now and realising what a corporate circlejerk the entire thing was Joel was so fucking right to shit over the entire thing.
I feel sorry for geoff.
Don't.
exciting - super excited - i am excited - this is exciting - so exciting - amazing - the most excited - it's amazing - fantastic - they're amazing - it's all amazing and exciting and fantastic and I'm super excited
Hearing Joel call someone else Geoff is really surreal to me.
This doesn't feel like an award ceremony. This feels like a pre taped pre show that comes on BEFORE the actual ceremony.
Thank you Joel, for finally sinking this piece of shit show that Geoff has no idea what he's doing with.
Dorito Pope is an ogre.
Amazing, Joel McHale tore Dorito Pope a new one.
That was priceless.
ITV: Joel McHale pretends to be Daniel Tosh.
How many are here because of Kit and Krista podcast?
10/10 perfect amount of layers
this is amzing
This was gold! 😂
ending scared me
beautiful
Joel kills man lmfaooo
Must be cold in that studio, because Geoff is wearing FOUR FUCKING LAYERS.
Jules, the 6 foot 4 savious we all needed
this is amazing
The editing alone is great
Joel was the only person to see how much of a shitshow this entire event was and acted accordingly
god it's amazing how much Geoff Keighly turned this event into the game awards
I remember this like it was yesterday
We've come a long way damn
"How much money did you make" LMFAO JOEL YOU'RE THE BEST
Reggie gotta appear in the Comminity movie.
Gees, it must be tough without a script. Are all D-List celebrities like this?
It's been forever and I still can't make it past a full minute without feeling so embarrassed I had to stop
watch out in the end guys a fucking Jump scare with are you rdy for this Batman's face like 1990's bats so yeah...
brings me back to the days of xplay
Who the fuck is pulling Jeff's strings? This guy I swear.
There are no breaks on the VGX train!
who the fuck decided to put that loud ass music in at the end...almost died
suddenly, gameplay footage
joel mchale saved it from complete shit
Wow, it's rolling out or Joe's mouth. He's like in the zone!
Geoff is like the kid that gets punched in school for liking vidya, only he just likes devs' big pockets, and Joel is like a dudebro punching him all night, right in the feels
I move jow Geoff is trying to take the show seriously while Joel is just improving and barely even caring
Geoff is like the Ryan Seacrest of gaming.
Uh Chris Hardwick
@@kylemagaro6979 Chris Hardwick is awesome.
Now, after ken and joel podcast, we know joel actually asks everyone how much money they make
If I were jeff and kept getting interrupted like that, id slap him for gods sake
Lmfao! At first I thought this was going to make me cringe with what I've read, but Joel is fucking hilarious in this! I loved it.
do you think he was going or a conan clueless gamer thing?
