The Angry Video Game Nerd (abbreviated AVGN or The Nerd, formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd) is the main character and title of a web television series of farcical retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe. The show generally revolves around retro game reviews that involve bitter rants against games he deems to be of particularly low-quality or poor design. Such games are often associated with movie tie-ins.
The series began as a feature on YouTube, and later joined ScrewAttack Entertainment, which would later have three of its features, including the AVGN, transferred to GameTrailers exclusively. The show, formerly known as The Angry Nintendo Nerd, was renamed because the show started reviewing games on other consoles, and also to prevent any trademark issues with Nintendo.
The Nerd is a short-tempered and foul-mouthed video game fanatic. He derives comic appeal from excessive and inventive use of profanity, frequent displays of explicit gestures, and a habitual consumption of beer (mostly Rolling Rock, but sometimes Yuengling). A particular characteristic, which has become something of a trademark of his character, is for him to describe, in great detail, extremely repulsive and painful, usually firmly scatological acts, and to claim that he would rather endure them than to play the game that he is reviewing. Varying amounts of physical comedy are mixed into the verbal abuses.
Don't want the morning, the morning to come
Don't wanna feel like the party is done
The day is dawning, but I wanna carry on and on and on
It's five o'clock and my work is done
Now I feel to party all night long
I won't quit 'till the weekend's come and gone
Nothing like a friday night
When my girls start to feel the vibe
In the club I can really come alive
(2x)
Don't want the morning, the morning to come
Don't wanna feel like the party is done
The play of dawning, but I wanna carry on and on and on
Drink or two just to chill me out
I got no fear and I got no doubts
Having fun is what it's all about
Give me room while I hit the floor
Every tune just leaves me wanting more
DJ's spins them cuts I can't ignore
Don't want the morning, the morning to come
Don't wanna feel like the party is done
The play of dawning, but I wanna carry on and on and on
Don't let the morning come
(2x)
Don't want the morning, the morning to come
Don't wanna feel like the party is done
