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.
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 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!
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!
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.."
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!’
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.
"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
I've seen the highlights of that interview, (keighley is not worth losing 25 minutes of my life I won't get back to watch,) and Joe is just plain shit scared of this assclown. Watching keighley essentially bully Joe into believing some of the most bold faced LIES this side of an anita sarkeesian video was the sickest thing I've seen in years. May geoff receive the mother of all tarring and featherings weekly for the rest of his days.
Because Joe came in acting like the 'gotcha' man for gamers, and was highly out of his depth. Sad, being because someone like Geoff is completely out of touch, and has been for years. McHale was hilarious here.
3:57 "we're chit-chatting here joel" Well, actually he's been ripping you apart for a few uncut minutes now, and my biggest question is.. why? Its hilarious and fuck that corporate husk, but why did the award show have whatever the hell that was go on for soooooo long?😂 they just let that nerd get crucified on live tv and kinda forgot about the whole "videogame award show" aspect of things
Joel just saw this for what it was. A 3 hour game commercial for Titanfall.
Joel is fucking hilarious this was legendary trolling
Indeed.
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 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.

@@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.
Yikes
It's been revealed that was just an act. Joel actually loves video games but people wanted his "character".
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 McHale should host this every year from now on.
Ok 🤐
This was Geoff's lowest point you can almost pinpoint the moment he decided to make his own show next time.
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.
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's trolling makes for this VGX the most legendary of them all... seriously
footage of true alpha male destroying some nerds.
Inside...wearing a jacket, over a sweatshirt, over a shirt, over a t-shirt.
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!
Based ass Joel McHale putting the Doritos King in his place.
Zero chemistry, Joel mocking everything, great show lol
“Its LA outside right now .. its 70 degrees”
I died
That geoff guy has no sense of humor.
Joel was brilliant, was clearly just taking the piss! lol.
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 :)
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.
FR, Joel showing BDE to Geoff
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.."
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.

Geoff Keighly is still a great host and reporter in the games industry because he actually knows his shit and is interested in it.
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.
2:19: "Which television are you taking home with you? This one?" Holy shit, Joel was so savage, I love 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.
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.
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!
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.
This is just Joel making a game out of the most boring 4-hour commitment he has ever had.
It’s incredible.
Cringe? You mean 16 minutes of glory.
Joel saved what would have been a PR suck up fest. Plus Spike knew what they were in to when they hired Jeff Winger.
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.
I lost my shit on Matt and Trey's line "Welcome to the future of Award Shows..." LMAO!!!!
LMAO Joel McHale single handedly owned the VGX Awards LOL
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.
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.
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.
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
Lol, what a classic. He made Geoff so uncomfortable.
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.
Why does this look like a socially distanced show in 2013?
This is what happens when you put a shill on stage with an actual entertainer
Lmao joel was too real for the vgx!!
00:51 I litteraly pissed my pants and started rolling on the floor.
When he said, "I'll just carry this on my back", I don't think he was referring to the TV
I distinctly remember asking for 7 layers of clothing for geoff.
This is infinitely more interesting than the VGAs ever were... for all the wrong reasons.
“I was eating cereal when i thought of this”
“Right and not high.” 💀💀💀
Tim was like " does he look high"
Joel: " he's talking to a spoon"
😂
Epic legendary trolling on the guy that ussually trolls others... on top of that he got payed for it... wins all over
Why did you cut the part where he wonders why it was good idea to host a nerd show?
'we're almost half way throught the show, geoff does that mean your gunna take one of your layers off?' lol joel
“Name one game”
Geoff got cooked
Not going to lie, I laughed hard at the north Korean vgx bit, goeff is like wtf is he saying.
"Hello. Welcome to our set. It's made of sheet metal." lmao
'Face plant on a wall'
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.
The thing that made me laugh the most, is the video title addressing Geoff as 'The Doritos king'
The chemistry..
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
Joel is comedy gold, beta gamers need to stop being so emotional
Most of them don't understand comedy. They stick to little kiddy jokes like it's f*cking elementary school
I fucking died at "Thank you Al Gore"
Came here after Geoff posted this on twitter. Wow, he is so uncomfortable here.
I Love this guy! He absolutely tears Goeff apart :D Joy to watch.
I loved how Joel intentionally made the VGX a complete disaster.
Almost 9 years later and geoff keighley hasn't learned shit since this disaster.
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!’
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.
"Hello. Welcome to our set. It's made of sheet metal." - Joel McHale
lmao!
POTATOES
HOLY CRAP...
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?
deep vein thrombosis... MY SIDES. The look on geoff's face was priceless
"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
Cringe?? This is hilarious!!
Joel McHale is killing it! Lmao!
The first 60 seconds with the rap group was cringe worthy, everything with Joel was funny as fuck!
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
Geoff deserves it but i feel bad for the developers that we're mocked.
Haha I like that Joel called Geoff out on being so monotone and showing no emotion.
HE'S TALKNG TO HIS SPOON
Joel did this to anger the other presenter
Haha I love the title! Joel trashes Dorito King hahaha genius!XD
Rockstar should be insulted for being invited to such a shitty ceremony.
how did this happen Geoff needs to explain someday
You could tell the other guy wanted to knock Joel out the whole time hahaha
So awesome. Joel was THE best thing about VGX. nuff said.
That hand move from Tim Schafer... Fucking priceless!!!
geoff posted about this on his twitter
Fantastic. Joel McHale ftw.
This is Awesome.
I feel bad for Geoff
Joel is too good for these terrible award shows anyways.
if you guys think geoff is a nice guy, watch Angry Joe Interviews Geoff Keighley, youll respect joel for ripping into him all the time
damn straight. im so glad joel was hosting.
well yeah but compared to Geoff he wasnt nearly as bad
I've seen the highlights of that interview, (keighley is not worth losing 25 minutes of my life I won't get back to watch,) and Joe is just plain shit scared of this assclown. Watching keighley essentially bully Joe into believing some of the most bold faced LIES this side of an anita sarkeesian video was the sickest thing I've seen in years. May geoff receive the mother of all tarring and featherings weekly for the rest of his days.
Nah Geoff owned Joe in that interview. Also Joe and Geoff get along now and are friends.
Because Joe came in acting like the 'gotcha' man for gamers, and was highly out of his depth. Sad, being because someone like Geoff is completely out of touch, and has been for years. McHale was hilarious here.
I forgot Tyler the Creator and Freddie Gibbs was in this lol.
0:12 Tyler shushing the potatoes guy caught me off guard 😂
3:57 "we're chit-chatting here joel"
Well, actually he's been ripping you apart for a few uncut minutes now, and my biggest question is.. why? Its hilarious and fuck that corporate husk, but why did the award show have whatever the hell that was go on for soooooo long?😂 they just let that nerd get crucified on live tv and kinda forgot about the whole "videogame award show" aspect of things
This was awesome. Thank you Joel, Doritos Pope and Al Gore!
Joel McHale the sole hero of VGxtreme Mountain Dewritos event xtravaganza.
I smell a Joel McHale meme incoming
"WELCOME TO HELL"
