Have you seen Marilyn Manson out of shape out of makeup? He looks just like Nicholas Cage. Lol random but I was just watching the documentary on the twins of evil. My man Trent Reznor and the molester that is Mason. For real Manson has molested twiggy his bassist look it up its disturbing.

The game developer didn't bother to take note that it wasn't an actual wrestling ring in the movie, but somehow dedicated enough to make the executioner's defeat animation referencing The Rock overselling the Stonecold Stunner.
I sincerely love the movie parodies you've been creating! They're so well done, clever, and nostalgic! I can't believe that a lot of people don't like this!? The only explanation is that they've never seen the movies you're covering or don't understand the humor. You've come such a long way and I'm proud to be here 14 years after binge watching the original videos in high school. I can absolutely see you're love of horror and filmmaking as well as your love for videogames shine and I love it!
A random shrek-themed Wicker Man parody is exactly why AVGN has survived so long and other pre-2010 internet series have died off. James was and always will be on another level.
Let me get this straight: The nerd plays a game where he plays as shrek fighting other characters from the movie. He's then put in a situation where he's actually wearing a shrek costume about to be killed by shrek worshippers wearing costumes for other shrek characters. I thought the logical finish to the episode was the nerd fighting all the others, paralleling the game.
12:05 is the playdoh Shrek medallion around Grant's neck a shout-out to Chris Chan's Sonichu necklace. See, the way the necklace is a string of metallic beads, it looks so much like the necklace Chris is seen wearing nowadays.
Just noticed we had attempted to watch a movie on a GBA on a Gamecube on a TV on a computer or phone. Did we really need all those layers? Onions have layers. Ogres are onions. This movie is about ogres. Or onions. Figured it out, fellas.

If you didn't catch that, the cult leader was played by the guy who made Shrek Retold
I would imagine he be the one leading a Shrek cult
Figures.
Either him or Schaffrillas.
Was his medallion made with crayola model magic though?
Shred cult join the talentless writer cult eat your cereal👍
I think the scariest part of this whole video is that the guy's Shrek medallion is confirmed to have been made by Chris Chan.
WHAT
The shrekichu medallion
plz tell ne you're joking
It's scary how chris chan can be traced to everything in the internet
how to confirm this?
Wow, Shrek’s old enough to be on in an AVGN episode
It's not like he hasn't covered more modern games before.
We're all getting old
Too bad it was only this one game he covered.
@@96Assassine Idk i think it's worse shrek game, i like shrek platformers on pc, and it's worth to talk about and maybe it has flaws
and so it begins...
I love how Shark Tale got cursed out by James despite it not even doing anything. The mere act of it existing was enough to set the nerd off.
What's weird is I think that movie came out the same year as Shrek 2

Here is some nostalgia: Shrek came out almost 20 years ago.
I can’t accept that being true lol that’s kind of insane to think about.
woah
Wow, this is getting old
Almost...it has been over 20 years
And it celebrates it’s birthday by airing on theaters for three nights and by releasing a 4K edition of the movie.

So the nerd can summon power ranger peripherals and defeat Satan, but he can’t defeat Shrekies?
That's why shrek is love, shrek is life.
You underestimate the power the Brogers hold.
Clearly the Nerd is a Dhampir and the garlic severely weakened him

But not the dis of Shrek
I think anyone who's seen Shark Tale liked that
Gregbus
ok
I was half expecting Schaff to make a cameo as the leader of the cult or something like that
Shrek meets the Wicker Man is the most terrifyingly fitting crossover I’ve ever seen
My thoughts as well. It was oddly more satisfying without a "Not the bee's!"
I mean, they're both scottish
Also I think the Shrek medallion seen from 12:05-> is surely a reference to Chris Chan's Sonichu medallion. Right?
@@marktero My thoughts exactly
My friend and I had talked about it in the Retold when it premiered. He was like "This is a start of horror film." when shrek was cutting lumber with an axe lol
12:49 He definitely did not mean to hit him in the face so hard. You can see the instant remorse on his face. lol
That sequence was probably the funniest part of the video, especially that classic punch sound.
I cried with laughter at this moment, absolutely hilarious!
Too bad we’ll never know the full story of how this take got kept in.
This is still a more realistic remake of Wickerman than the Nicholas Cage one.
Who cares about the Christopher Lee version
wait i’m genuinely dumb asf i thought this was a nerd parody of hostel
You could put this comment on any video and it would still be funny
Have you seen Marilyn Manson out of shape out of makeup? He looks just like Nicholas Cage. Lol random but I was just watching the documentary on the twins of evil. My man Trent Reznor and the molester that is Mason.
For real Manson has molested twiggy his bassist look it up its disturbing.
Shrek:"The peppers- the peppers!"
If he can survive Polybius, the Nerd can survive a Wicker man knockoff.
The Wicker Shrek
true
They should have done the bees scene....
he survived the Texas Chainsaw Massacre too
OH NO NOT THE BEES
I wish DMCA wasn't a thing. Hearing All star while Shrek was being burned would've made this even more amazing

@@williamdrum9899 probably be a lot easier to just get All Star entered into public domain. Historical significance lol

Looks more like someone wearing Shreks face. Fitting considering the video 🤣

Someone clearly never saw The Wickerman.
They could’ve at least recreated Shrek fighting the knights, complete with Bad Reputation playing in the background

Honestly it does feel like a missed opportunity to not even tie in the game at least a little.
