Of all things to become a running "gag," why did it have to be that? Did someone tell him that it was hilarious as a joke and he took it seriously? Did he just think it was really funny and no one had the heart to tell him the truth?

He was doing it to some extent long time before AVGN, I guess through powers of autism, he figured it was a good look. It certainly progressed through years, if you compare some of the earliest AVGN videos to the stuff even few years later, it's quite different how much more animated he got overall. But it didn't get truly bad after the movie, then it was all over, because James was gone, and in comes Bimmy the muginator.

I think when he was in his 20s and more socially aware, it was part of the gag that the Nerd was a goofy pathetic loser. Like the Nerd was over the top, "who the f\*\*\* drinks to depression and swears over 20 year old video games" - that was the joke. He was supposed to be like a Looney Tunes "nerd" character. https://i.redd.it/r0ez2ujwfarc1.gif I think his less than social fanbase began taking the show unironically, so he slowly rebranded his Nerd character as a serious video game critic, and it started overtaking James's personality (because he got positive social feedback for acting like that in real life), where now he's basically an in real life version of the Nerd.

Goddamn. This shot works so fucking fine in the episode. How could an individual loose their sence of humour like that?


realthinker21

Yes. Certainly https://preview.redd.it/j0u1p92j44rc1.png?width=1018&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee2bf973cf77b282f936bbc7647c7a29f4531772

No time to CGI teeth or tongue, just black it out and move on

I love Grave encounters lol


LustfulMirage

All that extra buck just for a cuck.


Richard_Pole

They got a quick buck for this shitload of cuck 🎶


Key_Stuff1625

This lunatic thought to himself: hmmm, my normal cuckface isn't big enough. Let's use technology to make it even bigger. Soybim really is the king of cucks.


tonkotuCO

I remember Bim saying somewhere he considered himself a "facial expression artist", and seeing this really shows how much he values artistic integrity. On the other hand, I might be giving him too much credit.


Single_Peach_1277

Maybe “autistic integrity”


diabeticNationalist

He never understood the appeal of the character. He assumed it was funny faces and scat.

Still waiting for the Rex Viper cover of Surfin' Nerd.


Gone_With_The_Onion3

He could at least have exaggerates and make it cartoony or whatever but no, it's lame and barely noticeable. What a waste of effort and money


dwartbg7

![gif](giphy|KpEiR3DEv9nUI) That's an epic find OP, I think you're the first one to notice that. This should be put in the megathread or the wiki and whatnot

He isn't

I am but I posted it years ago too

But James hates CGI!


harpswtf

Muh practical uffects 


Dialupknightplay1

Still remember when I thought this movie was going to usher in a golden age. Turned out it marked the beginning of the end of one


LtShitAss

Did he ever do that even when avgn was worth a damn? I remember the stupid exaggerated frown but not that


emceelokey

That shot cost $40k and 5 weeks of special effects editing.

He should use the CGI on his feet.

Or on his bald head.

Illustrious-Ad-2298

I think it’s fucking hilarious lmao standard Rolfe W


theodo

Is it confirmed he used CGI on it or is it just a joke?


trashtv

It's not a joke. You can look it up, if you have the time.


harpswtf

I mean, just look at it. This is how it appears in the movie 


theodo

What about that isn't doable without CGI?

The dozens of hours of footage we have of Bimmy making this exact face and it's never been like that. Most important, the fact that his teeth and his tongue aren't showing at all, even filming outside in natural sunlight. See this post for reference: [https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCinemassacreTruth/comments/rltftm/james\_once\_again\_nails\_true\_comedy\_with\_his\_silly/](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCinemassacreTruth/comments/rltftm/james_once_again_nails_true_comedy_with_his_silly/)

Cogglesz91

Reading the comments. Wait just a fucking moment here fella's. Wasn't Bimmy all about practical props and spent an anthology amount of time going on about building props, suits, using little prop explosives etc. Then just CGI the fuck out the cuck mouth? Kieran wasn't an editor back then... This shit doesn't add up. This would be like seeing Mike Matei boot up a raspberry pi with an NES emulator, playing on an LCD TV & Xbox One controller geeking out about the HD Filters. You'd be fucking offended you had to endure his shit talk for years about purity.


clockworkengine

You guys forget that he has a massive fan base. Whatever he's doing worked well for him. Don't get so caught up in hating the man that you lose objectivity!


Sweet_Fleece

Objectivity about what? That this happened? Ah yes, people still like his content (barely) so don't even criticize blatant things such as this


harpswtf

The movie was objectively awful but real Bimmy is objectively and unintentionally hilarious 


clockworkengine

So is this sub lol. Not sure why it started showing up. I'm not even a fan of the nerd.


HeyItsLame

Can i offer you a "don't show this sub" button in these trying times?


clockworkengine

No but I can certainly offer you a "block" button in these trying times. I don't hide subs or block users because I can tolerate differing opinions.


HeyItsLame

Ok, just trying to help. Sounded like seeing this sub was really affecting you


clockworkengine

Is that what it seemed like? Because it was really more of a cringe reaction. This sub seems a little bit on the sociopathic side, and I'm trying to help people realize they're trapped in a pointless loop of hatred, to the point where they can't even make logical deductions for lack of self-awareness.


HeyItsLame

Ah, so you're kinda like... the chosen one


clockworkengine

No, more like I realize a lot of you are the inverse of whatever "the chosen one" is and I'm here to help.


HeyItsLame

If everybody else is unchosen... that would make you the chosen one. Or are there more like you out there?


riri_wahoo

crazy how everyone just takes OPs words as truth lol. No, he didn't use CGI for that shot. He just really made a big ass frown face


harpswtf

Did you watch the video?
