I think you should have named Zero Punctuation as Yahtzee, but as far as this poll goes Zero Punctuation.

Zero Punctuation. His are equally irrelevant, but at least they are short and illustrated well.

The original one, AKA AVGN.

Yahtzee's got nothing on the nerd.

AVGN!!! He goes in more depth with the games. Which I find more entertaining. ZP is just a quick burst.

AVGN has fallen over the years, its not as funny as it used to be, and he reuses a lot of "jokes" while Yahtzee seems to be pretty fresh so far, in a while, he might get washed up too, I still watch both everytime they get a new one, Yahtzee is just more unique now.

Yatzhee, because he is actually funny. The Nerd paled horribly in comparison after watching my first Yatzhee review. Doing something other than just swearing and adding odd horror bits makes him the winner.

AVGN isn't that funny anymore. I liked some of his earlier ones then he just got old and way too corny. His idea though is way better than Yahtzee's. Truthfully bashing crappy games > nitpicking good games.

Zero Punctuation, since AVGN just swears a lot and only reviews NES era games for the most part. It's still good, but I think Yahtzee is way funnier.

hmm what do I like better...Chocolate or Feces? :|Shinobishyguy

exactly, i find AVGN to just be some whiny momas boy still living in her basement, swearing cause he learned a new word yesterday. while yahtzee puts flair into it, meaning that whine yeah he swears it has some meaning and realy gives it the title of "scentance enhancers" and is not just thrown in every other word.

ZP is waay better imo. Even though I find myself rarely laughing at his jokes. It doesn't take away from the fact that he tells really good jokes. They're all orginal and very funny, just that most dont appeal to me as much. But AVGN is just meh.

Yahtzee's is just an AVGN ripoff, and critisizes the smallest things in great games with family guy esque humor.

I don't think I've ever laughed once during a zero punctuation review.

For ZP to be a ripoff of AVGN, it would first have to be similar. Which it really isn't.

AVGN reviews cla55ic games while ZP does recent ones.

ZP's jokes are actually smart. They actually have content.
AVGN just plays bad games while saying how bad they are with random and unnecessary swears and fake anger. He also fails at being funny or good when he goes into his sketches.

Anyone could just read the wiki page or watch Youtube videos of old bad games and come up with what AVGN does.
ZP's reviews, as criticising and pin pointing as they are, are actually precise about the games and not just some random banter.

I have to agree here DSS. With the Nerd, it's just waiting for him to blow his gasket. With Yahtzee, I find he has a genuine journalistic quality on which he layers his humorous comments. When he criticizes a game, he delivers it with a more refined rapier's wit that is far more sophisticated than the Nerd's.

It sounds like you're taking his stuff personally!

I like them both, but Yahtzee is just awesome. He continually roasts fanboys in his reviews and spreads it equally across the playing field. I usually find that his reviews are more accurate than Gamespot's, since he seems to be able to ignore the hype surrounding the Halos and GTAs. I may not agree with him on everything (I like Smash Bros. and really enjoyed the new Indiana Jones movie, but I tend to see where he's coming from.

I wanna see the Nerd move more into the SNES/Genesis era (at the very least), and go to town on the more recent stinkbombs like he did with Superman 64.

I like both. Can't pick one since they're like complete opposites.

Very old games vs brand new ones.

Crap games vs good games.

Live action vs animation.

Crude nerd vs clever... not-nerd :P

Random anger vs clever complaints.

Both are awesome!

I enjoy AVGN more. I just wish that he would rip apart some recent games as well. AVGN bashing Hour of Victory and Big Rigs would be priceless. I still enjoy ZP, but AVGN is where it's at for me.

honestly...the only time I laughed at AVGN is when he actually took a dump on Bugs Bunny.

zero makes me chuckle. AVGN makes me laugh my ass off. Plus, AVGN is usually right IMO.

I really appreciate AVGN because he played the same games I did growing up, and had the same frustrations. I think growing up in the 8 and 16 bit generation makes you really appreciate it more. Like, when he did the turtles, it was so true. Plus mixes 80 and 90's culture in, and i find that funny.

Yahtzee is very smart humor, but its mostly amusing.
