Joel Mchale is a comedian, who's main act is to take the piss out of stuff, so they should've known better when hiring him. But ironically, he turned out to be the only good part of the show! he schooled that gaming journo on his own turf!
Joel Mchale is too great, he knew this show was a complete joke. I loved how uncomfortable he made Geoff. Which is fine, because we all know Geoff Keighley sold his soul and left testicle to the Mountain Dew and Dorito gods.
Yeah, watching someone who had no interest in being there and shit all over everything was really great. I really don't get how anyone could like Joel.
But the people that make the games are really passionate, put a lot of time and effort into their work and didn't deserve to have Joel being a douche nonstop.
@@MACCldrn yeah I'm sure those creators give two shits about being recognized by some douchey two-bit awards show where winners are picked by fucking twitter.
You know after watching this again...I feel kinda sorry for Geoff,I mean Joel was literally owning him in every scene he was in...It's like in highschool when a big bully has his eye on you and the only thing you can do is just shut up and take it like a man lol
PandaPoacherDouche I agree with you but when a slaughter like this ensues you cannot help but feel bad for the guy...and let's be honest,the past VGA's did bring us some pretty amazing reveals,he blew it big time this time around though...besides the whole cringe show!
Name one bad game. Name one game u will play. “Well there are some games that I dislike” wow this man is a husk a shell of a personality. Dorito king inside and out.
Looking back at this now, he doest seem to be awkward - it's just that everyone there is fake and he is calling out the bullshit imo. I hope they hire him for the next VGX.
Joel Mchale was wild on VGX because he was making DK look like a fool...LOL and doritos king looked like" DAMN, if Joel don't leave me the hell alone.."
I think this is actually the exact reason that they hired Joel McHale... They knew the show was going to be an epic fail and there's no way Geoff Keighley can salvage it, so they get a guy who's known for making awkward jokes and acting like a dick to stand next to the host as an easy target for everyone to criticize.
Doritos Pope sweating bullets trying to stay with the script kek. Joel doesn't need this to stay successful, which is why he gave no fucks and criticized and joked through the entire thing.
This is hilarious. Joel made a joke of the whole VGX, and everyone involved. Geoff couldn't do anything but look awkward and giggle at everything Joel said. GROW SOME BALLS GEOFF!
That looked less "offended" and more like "who brought this unprofessional douche to the set?" to me. That Joel dude is one of the most punchable guys I've ever seen on tv.
Iago Mosquera That's the issue I see with many people. Everybody wants to act fake instead of honest. Joel was being honest throughout the show. He called Geoff out on just going 'Oh I love every video game, everything is perfect' and Joel bluntly just said 'I only like this and think everything else sucks'. That's what I want to see, honesty and a genuine opinion.
That is litterally one of the most stupid comments i have ever seen. People being mad at Joel is just them being insecure? WTF are you talking about he was fucking with everyone at all the wrong times. His jokes fell flat at every turn. He was the most horrible host i have ever fucking seen. Harry Osborne was a better Academy award host than this dumbass.
Jeff Quartz No, I said being offended in general has to do with insecurity. You're only mad because you're not used to honesty. Joel was honest throughout the show and was exposing Geoff. Keep feeding into the everything is perfect marketing hype.
ThatTuneGuy Honest with what? He didnt say anything that had to do with honesty. The problem is that Joel had to make fun of everything that he deemed different from his normal life. Clearly gaming is not his natural habitat but he still had the autismal need to rip on it. Thats just borderline disrespectful. Geoff Keighly is still a great host and reporter in the games industry because he actually knows his shit and is interested in it.
The only redeeming quality that I could divine from that video was Joel Mchale taking the piss out of that horrid production. He recognized how slipshod it was and wasn't going to let them pass it off as it were something decent. If you think that Joel was what was wrong with this show, you are wrong. Everything but Joel was what was wrong with this show.
The reason why this is awkward is because Geoff has zero charisma and cannot play along Joel’s sarcasm. It would have been epic if they had instead somebody who would take Joel on.
1:50 is where they break character, by the way. Joel is openly criticizing this show, and Doritos Pope is scrambling to stay on script. The part where he's like "This show is a celebration of our industry", you can practically see the sweat trickling down his forehead, where he's like "R-right J-Joel? Eh, heh heh..." while Joel's simply not having it.
I'm surprised how quickly this cringefest got forgotten. People still remember Mr. Caffeine and "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!" from E3, but not VGX and Joel taking the piss out of everything.
once in a while i rewatch this video just to laugh and cringe, i can't imagine anything other than geoff saying something really douchy and condecending to joel when he met it like "you need to sell titanfall and tell everybody we are best friends" and Joel did not care for that one bit
zzzzImTired Fuck off. I liked the community. But apparently Joel McHale is a douchebag in real life. He can go fuck himself. Not watching that show anymore. Too bad because I liked it,
AddamHusayin That's all heresay. You've never met the man. And why are you getting so angry. Do you take the VG awards seriously? It's always been a joke.
I love every single one of Geoff's attempts to steer things back on track when Joel goes off-prompter. He does the segues so smoothly it really brings out his skills as a presenter.
Geoff Keighley is partly like a social worker nervously looking at his patient for signs of relapse. Unfortunately for the rehabilitation program , they're both walking around a lunatic's apartment dwelling interspersed with a group of men in baggy clothing shouting 'Potatoes!’
3:17 was the best part by far, this is exactly the issue with people like Geoff. They're always 'I LOVE THEM ALL EVERYTHING 10/10 GONNA PLAY THEM ALL' just to keep up appearances for the publishers. Joel kept it blunt and honest, proud of him for checking him.
"Are you gunna have crazy sex scenes?" Telltale Games: "The show has sex scenes?" Are you fucking serious...? You're making a game about a show and you havent even seen the 1st episode?!?!
im actually really relieved to hear that haha, i didnt watch VGx so i just assumed they were as clueless as the people running the show. I would hate to see Telltale ruin this, so im glad it was a joke
Joel totally rocked this :D this ceremony was a joke, and he probably easy a good choice to host this (he's not really famous for being a gamer...) but I think he made the most of it
As an avid gamer, serious about the industry, I find McHale's 'could care less' attitude to be both irritatingly blasé and hilariously irreverent (when compared to Geoff's bullshit ass-kissing). Also it's nice to see Keighley squirm, the little fucker.
Joel just saw this for what it was. A 3 hour game commercial for Titanfall.
Joel is fucking hilarious this was legendary trolling
Indeed.
Joel Mchale is a comedian, who's main act is to take the piss out of stuff, so they should've known better when hiring him. But ironically, he turned out to be the only good part of the show! he schooled that gaming journo on his own turf!

Yikes
It's been revealed that was just an act. Joel actually loves video games but people wanted his "character".
Wow this is awkward. Two guys that don't get along stuck in a cold empty studio with each other brought to you by mountain dew.
"Once Tim fixes the game, it's gonna be great!"
Joel, I fucking love you.
Joel McHale should host this every year from now on.
Ok 🤐
Something tells me just as the show started, Joel was told he's now not getting paid lol
Spook is Back oh no he got paid for this. A LOT. That’s why they only paid him enough to be a presenter this year.
Based ass Joel McHale putting the Doritos King in his place.
9:15 "Too bad he knows NOTHING about the adventure genre."
"Y... Actually he plays them a lot even more than young..."
"I'M JOKING"
Haha this is gold!
Inside...wearing a jacket, over a sweatshirt, over a shirt, over a t-shirt.
That geoff guy has no sense of humor.
Joel's trolling makes for this VGX the most legendary of them all... seriously
You know after watching this again...I feel kinda sorry for Geoff,I mean Joel was literally owning him in every scene he was in...It's like in highschool when a big bully has his eye on you and the only thing you can do is just shut up and take it like a man lol
>feeling sorry for a sellout
Yeah it's pretty bad he won't get his shekels from those video game companies.
PandaPoacherDouche I agree with you but when a slaughter like this ensues you cannot help but feel bad for the guy...and let's be honest,the past VGA's did bring us some pretty amazing reveals,he blew it big time this time around though...besides the whole cringe show!
***** Lol what did Keighly expect cohosting with a comedian? Comedians are all about controlling and commanding a room.
***** So you obviously didn't see him pick fun at Reggie last year and get totally fucking stomped by him too?
This is the first time Nintendo attended VGA's...What you said happened at E3 :)
footage of true alpha male destroying some nerds.
Joel saved what would have been a PR suck up fest. Plus Spike knew what they were in to when they hired Jeff Winger.
Joel was brilliant, was clearly just taking the piss! lol.
Name one bad game. Name one game u will play. “Well there are some games that I dislike” wow this man is a husk a shell of a personality. Dorito king inside and out.
Looking back at this now, he doest seem to be awkward - it's just that everyone there is fake and he is calling out the bullshit imo. I hope they hire him for the next VGX.
Zero chemistry, Joel mocking everything, great show lol
LMAO Joel McHale single handedly owned the VGX Awards LOL
“Its LA outside right now .. its 70 degrees”
I died
Joel Mchale was wild on VGX because he was making DK look like a fool...LOL and doritos king looked like" DAMN, if Joel don't leave me the hell alone.."
2:19: "Which television are you taking home with you? This one?" Holy shit, Joel was so savage, I love it.
Joel McHale is trending right now because of Tiger King. Back then, the world wasn't ready for Joel McHale. Today, they're still don't understand.
This was Geoff's lowest point you can almost pinpoint the moment he decided to make his own show next time.
how did they think it would be a good idea to throw joel into the mix with a man who CANNOT IMPROV WHATSOEVER
I think this is actually the exact reason that they hired Joel McHale...
They knew the show was going to be an epic fail and there's no way Geoff Keighley can salvage it, so they get a guy who's known for making awkward jokes and acting like a dick to stand next to the host as an easy target for everyone to criticize.

This is hilarious. Joel made a joke of the whole VGX, and everyone involved. Geoff couldn't do anything but look awkward and giggle at everything Joel said. GROW SOME BALLS GEOFF!
It's funny seeing how upset people are at Joel, I'm happy he was selected. You can tell how insecure somebody is by how offended they become.
That looked less "offended" and more like "who brought this unprofessional douche to the set?" to me. That Joel dude is one of the most punchable guys I've ever seen on tv.
Iago Mosquera That's the issue I see with many people. Everybody wants to act fake instead of honest. Joel was being honest throughout the show.

Based Joel Mchale. Giving the doritoes king a public humiliation. We salute you
The reason why this is awkward is because Geoff has zero charisma and cannot play along Joel’s sarcasm. It would have been epic if they had instead somebody who would take Joel on.
I don't think I've ever seen a worse chemistry between two hosts lool. not sure if schadenfreude or pity for keighley is more appropriate
1:50 is where they break character, by the way. Joel is openly criticizing this show, and Doritos Pope is scrambling to stay on script. The part where he's like "This show is a celebration of our industry", you can practically see the sweat trickling down his forehead, where he's like "R-right J-Joel? Eh, heh heh..." while Joel's simply not having it.
Lol, what a classic. He made Geoff so uncomfortable.
I lost my shit on Matt and Trey's line "Welcome to the future of Award Shows..." LMAO!!!!
Cringe? You mean 16 minutes of glory.
I'm surprised how quickly this cringefest got forgotten. People still remember Mr. Caffeine and "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!" from E3, but not VGX and Joel taking the piss out of everything.
We really didn't appreciate these gems enough while we had them. I'd take this nonsense over the corporate nothing showcases we get nowadays.
once in a while i rewatch this video just to laugh and cringe, i can't imagine anything other than geoff saying something really douchy and condecending to joel when he met it like "you need to sell titanfall and tell everybody we are best friends" and Joel did not care for that one bit
Joel is comedy gold, beta gamers need to stop being so emotional
Epic legendary trolling on the guy that ussually trolls others... on top of that he got payed for it... wins all over
“I was eating cereal when i thought of this”
“Right and not high.” 💀💀💀
Lmao joel was too real for the vgx!!
00:51 I litteraly pissed my pants and started rolling on the floor.
Joels great. I hope people in here watch "Community".
Fuck off! Joel is a douche-bag. Jeff should have punched him in the face.
joels a good actor not a good host
Darryl hall No Darryl, you fuck off lol. Watch community and you'll be a fan.
zzzzImTired Fuck off. I liked the community. But apparently Joel McHale is a douchebag in real life. He can go fuck himself. Not watching that show anymore. Too bad because I liked it,
AddamHusayin That's all heresay. You've never met the man. And why are you getting so angry. Do you take the VG awards seriously? It's always been a joke.
This is infinitely more interesting than the VGAs ever were... for all the wrong reasons.
I love every single one of Geoff's attempts to steer things back on track when Joel goes off-prompter. He does the segues so smoothly it really brings out his skills as a presenter.
Not going to lie, I laughed hard at the north Korean vgx bit, goeff is like wtf is he saying.
I distinctly remember asking for 7 layers of clothing for geoff.
This is what happens when you put a shill on stage with an actual entertainer
POTATOES
HOLY CRAP...
When he said, "I'll just carry this on my back", I don't think he was referring to the TV
I Love this guy! He absolutely tears Goeff apart :D Joy to watch.
“Name one game”
The thing that made me laugh the most, is the video title addressing Geoff as 'The Doritos king'
I loved how Joel intentionally made the VGX a complete disaster.
This is just Joel making a game out of the most boring 4-hour commitment he has ever had.
It’s incredible.
Why does this look like a socially distanced show in 2013?
'we're almost half way throught the show, geoff does that mean your gunna take one of your layers off?' lol joel
All these years later and Geoff has the most successful games awards show ever. Good for him.
Why did you cut the part where he wonders why it was good idea to host a nerd show?
Came here after Geoff posted this on twitter. Wow, he is so uncomfortable here.
The chemistry..
Geoff Keighley is partly like a social worker nervously looking at his patient for signs of relapse. Unfortunately for the rehabilitation program , they're both walking around a lunatic's apartment dwelling interspersed with a group of men in baggy clothing shouting 'Potatoes!’
3:17 was the best part by far, this is exactly the issue with people like Geoff. They're always 'I LOVE THEM ALL EVERYTHING 10/10 GONNA PLAY THEM ALL' just to keep up appearances for the publishers. Joel kept it blunt and honest, proud of him for checking him.
People like Geoff don't have one second of playing any game on the internet, lol
This was awesome. Thank you Joel, Doritos Pope and Al Gore!
"Hello. Welcome to our set. It's made of sheet metal." lmao
'Face plant on a wall'
"Hello. Welcome to our set. It's made of sheet metal." - Joel McHale
lmao!
Cringe?? This is hilarious!!
Haha I like that Joel called Geoff out on being so monotone and showing no emotion.
This is Awesome.
"Are you gunna have crazy sex scenes?"
Telltale Games: "The show has sex scenes?"
Are you fucking serious...? You're making a game about a show and you havent even seen the 1st episode?!?!
they were being sarcastic
im actually really relieved to hear that haha, i didnt watch VGx so i just assumed they were as clueless as the people running the show. I would hate to see Telltale ruin this, so im glad it was a joke
Joel McHale is killing it! Lmao!
So awesome. Joel was THE best thing about VGX. nuff said.
Joel totally rocked this :D this ceremony was a joke, and he probably easy a good choice to host this (he's not really famous for being a gamer...) but I think he made the most of it
HE'S TALKNG TO HIS SPOON
Joel did this to anger the other presenter
I fucking died at "Thank you Al Gore"
As an avid gamer, serious about the industry, I find McHale's 'could care less' attitude to be both irritatingly blasé and hilariously irreverent (when compared to Geoff's bullshit ass-kissing). Also it's nice to see Keighley squirm, the little fucker.
*Studio of the Year aka VGX Best Shooter* lmao love him
YES! I was not the only one that heard the toilet microphone. Thought I was crazy for a sec ;p
Fantastic. Joel McHale ftw.
Haha I love the title! Joel trashes Dorito King hahaha genius!XD
Geoff deserves it but i feel bad for the developers that we're mocked.
Joel McHale the sole hero of VGxtreme Mountain Dewritos event xtravaganza.
gotta love the toilet mic
That hand move from Tim Schafer... Fucking priceless!!!
The Dorito Gods couldn't save Geoff from that awkwardness lol
Poor little Goeff. All self-conscious and nervous.
Best Game Awards ever
You could tell the other guy wanted to knock Joel out the whole time hahaha
I feel bad for Geoff
Geoff got cooked
The first 60 seconds with the rap group was cringe worthy, everything with Joel was funny as fuck!
deep vein thrombosis... MY SIDES. The look on geoff's face was priceless
geoff posted about this on his twitter
what's the english name for the condition geoff suffers from, when your face is half paralyzed and you only blink with one eye in certain situations?
I smell a Joel McHale meme incoming
Almost 9 years later and geoff keighley hasn't learned shit since this disaster.
