These old videos gave me a few good laughs. Makes me kinda want to watch the Movie again. It was also really cool to finally see the origin of that Metal Gear shooting scene from the old HCG intro. Thanks for uploading these man.
Loved this video! It reminded me of my group of friends back in high school. I've got maybe 10 or so hours of edited shorts and stuff. Some of the people in them aren't around anymore, so it's really nice to have that moment in time captured on video! Nice to see some of your video roots!
The Tennis Punk... Hilarious. Also, it's crazy to hear your voice in the Backyard Monster video... Man you can tell those Cigs were tearing up your throat.
12:28 Hey it's Mr. Lee from that Last Alert intro you recreated using your friends! And this Gary may or may not be Chairman Steve from that same Last Alert video. Also "These balls are too new. I don't wanna use them!"
Aww, that pick of you and your buddy was nice. Time is a funny thing, man. Each day nothing seems to change but when you look back everything is different.
Lol that's awesome! I gotta say, the part where the sound cut off seemed to give the video effect since that's also when the music picks up with the action. I just wish we could have heard the dialogue when you came out as the director. That was pretty damn funny.
Those old videos are amazing. Reminds me of Pure pwnage or something. If youtube was around back then... you would have been massively successful at skit videos. Awesome :D Thanks for sharing
Ah man,great stuff.Reminded me of when I made a cheesy killer raggedy Ann doll vid about 10 years ago.haha good times.Loved it man and Monsters in the backyard was epic!Take care brotha!
@happyconsolegamer strikes again! They where super cheesey videos but they have heart and I'm so great full for that you've chosen to share it with us. What great way to start my Sunday. Cheers!
I couldn't be happier I watched this video lol Tennis Punk is my favorite! well done as always Johnny! oh and I would love to hear your thoughts on maybe some indie JRPG's if you've played any.
definitely would like to see more of these videos, they are super fun. I remember doing the same kind of things with my friends when were in school, we remade lord of the rings,lol. Good times.
omg that's real life PRINCE OF TENNIS XDDDD Super content, thanks for putting these up. your old version is super cool imo. the thin look, you looked like some evil anime character. you should be put into an anime.
Awesome videos Johnny 🤘 Me and my best friend filmed a bunch of videos when we were teenagers but unfortunately they are lost cause they were on video cassettes 😔 Oh man these videos were so cool 🤘and it was even cooler when we were filming them, such a great memories 😎
Hi john I was really hoping that you will do a video about shenmue and your thoughts about the demo in E3 A lot of TH-camrs did videos for shenmue but you are always the first one that i would like to watch doing videos for game we love .
HappyConsoleGamer hi john It is me Mahmoud and I’m replying from my gaming channel . I started this channel because i loved your work on TH-cam . I have been watching you from the start and hope you continue on your work on TH-cam It have been about 7 years since i started this channel and you were always my inspiration to continue . Thanks and keep it up ;)
I love how people are thumb downing this. Like, they expected to be some old home movies to better quality or some shit. Get outa here with that, these videos are freagin sweet
Dam it, it's times like this when I wish I had more creative friends. I recognize that Solid Snake! Really good for it's time! Especially liked the overlays!
My best friend and I use to make stop action movies with Jurassic Park figure's when we were kids. Used an old RCA VHS camera. Not sure where the VHS tape is, but man it would be amazing to find.
Hehehe lol 😂😂 tennis punk is awesome especially the music playing in it. Instant classic, you should find someone to seriously make a game out of this!
That Metal Gear B was awesome! I loved it! My friends and I made a short video called Sneaky Snake the same year of yours. It’s no where near as good as yours. Tennis Punk “I don’t know man these guys look good.” Camera pans to little kids playing. Me: 😂😂
The old fans know all too well what you used to look like. You've come a long way Johnny, I'm proud of you!
Thanks Mr West!
This is why I love this channel. Zero click bait, zero gimmicks to get more views. Just pure honesty and passion. This guy needs more subscribers.
“I’m the only one carrying a sword, for Christ’s sake.”
That needs to be a t-shirt design.
*"Have you ever lost a game....?*
*".............I lose every game..." LOL*
holy shit the tennis punk character is amazing, you need to bring him back!
These old videos gave me a few good laughs. Makes me kinda want to watch the Movie again. It was also really cool to finally see the origin of that Metal Gear shooting scene from the old HCG intro. Thanks for uploading these man.
Thanks for watching!
Monsters in my Backyard is the kind of content this site was built on.
Must be crazy for you Johnny to see all those forgotten videos :). Very cool to upload and share with the gang. Thank you :)
8:35 - Imagine being one of the neighbors and seeing a guy in a bandana with goggles , swinging a sword around. LOL amazing
The tennis punk skit reminds me of trailer park boys
Loved this video! It reminded me of my group of friends back in high school. I've got maybe 10 or so hours of edited shorts and stuff. Some of the people in them aren't around anymore, so it's really nice to have that moment in time captured on video! Nice to see some of your video roots!
Definitely back them up!
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thanks, man.
This is a gem of a channel. I've been watching for 10 years now, which is hard to believe. Thanks for all the hard work John...
That tennis punk video is pure fucking gold
"see gary? nothing to worry about"
great stuff
So excited I can help out through here with the YT membership thing. Yours is one of the few channels that keep me coming back to TH-cam. Thank you!
I really appreciate and enjoy these blasts from your past! Reminds me of good times w/ friends and family.
The Tennis Punk... Hilarious. Also, it's crazy to hear your voice in the Backyard Monster video... Man you can tell those Cigs were tearing up your throat.
I agree! I was going to mention I look and sound horrible back then lol
12:28 Hey it's Mr. Lee from that Last Alert intro you recreated using your friends! And this Gary may or may not be Chairman Steve from that same Last Alert video.
Also "These balls are too new. I don't wanna use them!"
OMG you know your stuff!!
@@HappyConsoleGamer Woo! It paid off rewatching that review so many times!
That is awesome! thank you!
Aww, that pick of you and your buddy was nice. Time is a funny thing, man. Each day nothing seems to change but when you look back everything is different.
Man, nothing takes me back more than when I watch my actions on an old tape
... my mom’s creative commentary always adds something special
Holy shit you did look totally different. Totally pulled off that scientist look though.
Yeah lotta cigarettes will do that to you
Method actor, Johnny
@@ParagonKevin more like Methanol actor Johnny
Trust me I cringe and go WTF when I see myself then!
*pushes up glasses twice*
Thanks for sharing Johnny. I really enjoyed it.
Rob was fantastic! and I laughed when you popped out of the box! Thanks for sharing Johnny!
It's pretty cool how you edited the videos with special effects.
That takes talent back then. Well done.
This was sucha sweet episode and love that interstellar bridged you guys!
Johnny, your reactions are priceless. I love your stories from the past. I'm excited for Dragon Quest 11 for the Nintendo Switch this September.
Nice videos! (: Takes me back to my own childhood. It makes me realize how we all basically have similar experiences.
Wow! These were great Johnny. That Tennis Punk bit was the best, should have been turned into a manga!
Lol that's awesome! I gotta say, the part where the sound cut off seemed to give the video effect since that's also when the music picks up with the action. I just wish we could have heard the dialogue when you came out as the director. That was pretty damn funny.
These old videos are pretty fun. Awesome content.
Well my day just got better! Always happy to see an HCG upload :D
You’re the man Johnny. Rob was awesome as snake too. You guys should do more skits. I would love to see that.
Almost 15 years old and it still holds up today!
13:21 "It matters for my father!"
Those old videos are amazing. Reminds me of Pure pwnage or something. If youtube was around back then... you would have been massively successful at skit videos. Awesome :D Thanks for sharing
please put more up if you have them man! they're really awesome to see
this was the funniest shit to watch while baked. Thank you! LMAO
You and your buddies look like actors from a sega genesis ad haha.
Tennis punk looks like a Sega CD game too Haha.
Good times...
Absolutely nobody:
Johnny: “I used to be a smoker.”
Ah man,great stuff.Reminded me of when I made a cheesy killer raggedy Ann doll vid about 10 years ago.haha good times.Loved it man and Monsters in the backyard was epic!Take care brotha!
@happyconsolegamer strikes again! They where super cheesey videos but they have heart and I'm so great full for that you've chosen to share it with us. What great way to start my Sunday. Cheers!
These were great! I hope you show more.
Omg freaking loved this. Hilarious and always fun to see other people’s nostalgic videos.
I couldn't be happier I watched this video lol Tennis Punk is my favorite!
well done as always Johnny!
oh and I would love to hear your thoughts on maybe some indie JRPG's if you've played any.
I hear Persona 4 Golden music in the background 👍
Yup...hanging out with Chie hoping to get that track to play...
@@jpdurand1499 PLaying it right now. So distracting when watching this.
I love every track from Persona 4 Golden. Put 230 hours in that game :p
definitely would like to see more of these videos, they are super fun. I remember doing the same kind of things with my friends when were in school, we remade lord of the rings,lol. Good times.
Rob as Snake is absolutely hilarious 😂
I love the Over-The-Top Tech-Binoculars
Those were awesome Johnny 👌
I use to record myself playing video games on VHS tapes for the fun of it. Don't think I have them anymore though, good times man good times.
Tennis punk's development was more detailed in the manga.
Omg I remember this Johnny from your first few YB vids omg...it's been a long time
Love it. These were great fun to watch. It's always funny re-watching old stuff isn't it? Cheers for those Jonny! ;)
I’m currently playing MGS4 for the first time. Love this.
Lots of cut scenes but still a great game. Way better than Phantom Pain in my opinion.
omg that's real life PRINCE OF TENNIS XDDDD
Super content, thanks for putting these up.
your old version is super cool imo.
the thin look, you looked like some evil anime character.
you should be put into an anime.
Those were absolutely AMAZING!
Awesome videos Johnny 🤘
Me and my best friend filmed a bunch of videos when we were teenagers but unfortunately they are lost cause they were on video cassettes 😔
Oh man these videos were so cool 🤘and it was even cooler when we were filming them, such a great memories 😎
More Gary! Please! Such a great actor wow. Wish you had filmed something when he came to visit recently. Please bring him on the show!
Hi john
I was really hoping that you will do a video about shenmue and your thoughts about the demo in E3
A lot of TH-camrs did videos for shenmue but you are always the first one that i would like to watch doing videos for game we love .
At this point I am going to wait for the full game :)
HappyConsoleGamer
Sure and fair enough
Thanks and looking forward for your thoughts about shenmue 3 when it’s released ;)
HappyConsoleGamer hi john
It is me Mahmoud and I’m replying from my gaming channel .
I started this channel because i loved your work on TH-cam .
I have been watching you from the start and hope you continue on your work on TH-cam
It have been about 7 years since i started this channel and you were always my inspiration to continue .
Thanks and keep it up ;)
Tennis Punk! It's actually a gem. Reminds me of an old Kids in the Hall setup.
This is some really great stuff, Johnny. Any inkling that you'll find some more stuff? Possibly from the 90's?
you know it's a good day when Johnny uploads a video
I might have to give this a try next time I’m with people and we don’t know what to do. These looked fun to make
Very fun to watch. I wish I had recorded my friends and I ... now I just have fading memories.
Zuntata lmao we need more of that. The tennis punk editing and music was pretty fire.
Tennis Punk was hilarious!
The ball stomp at the end of the MGS clip nearly made me choke on my toast this morning. 😂 Amazing stuff
Omg Johnny, I love these videos and I'm a huuuuuge Metal Gear fan, your younger self has a very deep voice, keep them coming!
Better than anything I would make🤣 this was funny and an cool insight to the younger you. Should put up more of these in the future.
I found you back in the day because of neo geo- I remember your look back then.
Bro your videos are EPIC!!!!! And im being honest about it. I sometimes miss the good old days, You really did look skinny back then....
Tennis Punk was pretty awesome dude. My friends and I used to make videos back in the day. Good times man.
I love how people are thumb downing this. Like, they expected to be some old home movies to better quality or some shit. Get outa here with that, these videos are freagin sweet
Thanks for sharing. Great videos.
This is really kool, 2005 and 2006 I was only in 6th grade. I hated that year so much, but still a lot easier than present times.
I backed up everything on raid drives. have thousands of videos on there. Some on WD passport externals also.
That MGS skit definitely looks like it would fit in with the "Happy Console Gamer Movie"
I think I ldearned a bit about editing to move onto the Movie after I shot all that!
Dam it, it's times like this when I wish I had more creative friends. I recognize that Solid Snake! Really good for it's time! Especially liked the overlays!
Ok ok this video is great but can we get some recognition for that killer Persona 4 soundtrack in the background? Great music choice Johnny!
I imagine how much fun you had doing those videos! But what's Zuntata?!
My best friend and I use to make stop action movies with Jurassic Park figure's when we were kids. Used an old RCA VHS camera. Not sure where the VHS tape is, but man it would be amazing to find.
The tennis punk was actually quite hilarious! :D
Long live the Tennis Punk
this def would've gone viral
You guys are the best 😂🔥
Man 2006 to do videos then would be a mission
Hehehe lol 😂😂 tennis punk is awesome especially the music playing in it. Instant classic, you should find someone to seriously make a game out of this!
This is fun ! More Please !
damn man that video making was awesome!
That Metal Gear B was awesome! I loved it! My friends and I made a short video called Sneaky Snake the same year of yours. It’s no where near as good as yours.
Tennis Punk “I don’t know man these guys look good.”
Camera pans to little kids playing.
Me: 😂😂
Very cool. Love these! :D
The music used in the "Tennis Punk" video reminded me of the Dreamcast for some reason.
You wouldn’t upload a full sound version on a separate video perchance hey? I loved that and would love to hear the second half
If you have more let’s watch them all!
And here i thought AVGN was alone in making crazy skit videos back in the day... how WRONG i was!!!!!
He does know youtube was around in 2005. I graduated in 2005 and was using youtube before I graduated.
You rule johnny. Rock on
In the future, you should run a deinterlacing filter over some of those old videos. That's most likely why those lines show up in motion.
