The very beginning is missing.

"Those are the worst eyebrows I have ever seen"... "Well, check out a mirror sometime, LOL".
They were so smart and cool. I miss them.
Laughed so hard when Gene pushed the tray in. OMG he would be the type
Good stuff
I miss these guys so much, and I miss the 80s as well
LJN's reign of terror is boundless
Of course you would be a Siskel and Ebert fan. I got your book
23:28 Siskel and Ebert Review the NES and Sega Master System
Man, AVGN wasn't exaggerating.
VideoArt didn't even function at the time.
It's easy to forget that Ebert was so much shorter than Siskel. It's rare to see them standing next to eachother. Usually they were sitting down in the balcony.
NotSnarl By today’s standards, Ebert does not even “read” as fat. Regardless, I really hate personal remarks about public or private individuals. I’d rather focus on the immense talent, professionalism, and joie de vivre each man brought to us all. I miss them so much!
$1,200 for Super VHS? Holy shit lol. We've got 4K UHD now XD
I’m going out right now to buy my SuperVHS! Don’t want to be obsolete.
trying to imagine 80s kids being riveted by "Winky Dink".
Definitely was not I, most 80s kids probably didn't care very about 50s and 60s culture.
id rather play with my winky
I love it but I'm 66 years old
28:15 I know what Tarrantino got that year
40:15 Lady Lovelylock: I'm heading towards to my friends for a picnic, would you like to join us?
Kid: Thank You lady, but I have to get home for dinner!
Gene: That's great, I'm too busy to enter the Adventure, I got to get home!
That's why I've got the tape so I can go home, right?!? 40:22
YES! =)
40:03 - I don't know if I would be scared or peeing myself if I were a kid seeing that. I'm cacking myself now....
Lady Lovely Locks was pre- Swan Princess.
Video Art really was the worst shit. It gave you intricate pictures to color, only to taunt you, because you could only draw straight lines with the most unresponsive controller ever.
Siskel & Ebert were equally frustrated with Video Art as AVGN was.
It's interesting that Shokus has apparently survived to the present day, what with the internet, piracy and people posting all sorts of old tapes online.
"he's a little bear...and a little bore"
That's exactly what I thought of Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid.
Never _even heard_ of 'Super VHS' - and I lived through the '80s!
Not Barbie deliver World Peace with a rock concert in outer space is absolutely ridiculous, you're right there, Gene
That pixel vision camera is weird! I've heard of computers using audio cassette tapes for games and programs but using a cassette tape for a video camera? That's pretty impressive
for it's time, it was definitely a great gimmick, and to this day, people still use the PXL-2000 for Independent videos.
8-Bit Guy reviewed it.
Back then I got the Deluxe Home Version of the "Wheel of Fortune" Game back in December 1987
I had that game.
Thanks for this!
Don’t plan a chicken dish when chicken isn’t in season.
Duck season...Wabbit season...Chicken season...
This is hilarious
AVGN brought me here.
Don't push it Gene!
P.S.: In Fact Lady Lovely Locks was much Miles better than The Problem Solverz and Teen Titans GO! combined.
Oh my God I have got to get me one of those super VHS and laser vision machines! The future is here people
Avgn needs to see this.
He already did. Their critique of the LJN VideoArt console was mentioned as part of a DVD extra.
31:50 And the idea Barbie delivering world peace rock concert from outer space is absolutely ridiculous! - Gene Siskel
Anyone else get the sinking feeling that they knew this VideoArt thing wouldn't last?
I actually saw this episode before AVGN reviewed it.
27:56 Baby Songs has been my childhood favorite!
23:30 - Siskel and Ebert play NES
Even LJN isn't safe from the wrath of Siskel and Ebert.
this is awesome
They’re sitting really close to one another.
Love these guys, but Ebert's hair looks like a really cheap toupee even though it's his actual hair.
It’s incredible! How/why did they make his real hair look like a Halloween wig? Ahaha
Never seemed to brush and/or wash it lol
I swear Gene almost called Lady Lovelilocks a fucking ripoff. 🤣
lol he was genuinely pissed he couldnt go on the adventure
Anyone know the name of the baseball player Gene calls Roger? Sounds like he's saying Wance Williger?
Wayne Terwilliger
Radio days great movie by Woody Allen !!!
Sega Master System.
29.95 for godfather what deal!
Down from $60! With inflation thats at least $120 for a single movie. What the hell was going on back then?
try to explain streaming like it just came out in the 1979 and the internets
Lol how they are saying that video game consoles were expensive but what about thouse vhs plyers and casettes
$59.95 for a VHS tape?
***** They use to be way more than that. They use to be over $100 for new releases.
even the VHS of the South Park movie was that much while the dvd was only like $30
I remember being a kid and convincing my parents to buy Batman on DVD for like £20, over here in the UK. That would have been like '99 I think.
Yep, Back then tapes were sold to rental stores at high prices before studios realized they could sell them to consumers for less and make bigger profit.
17:32 well gee roger not EVERYONE could afford them
Bring back Beemans!
I like to see them constantly shitting on each other how is this not a skit, in SNL,(not my generation)
Do not get Lady Lovely Locks
avgn
Yup!
man i was born in 85, all this stuff looked so archaic, super vhs, winky dink (yuck)
Roger always had the worst haircuts...
He's OG nerdy guy to the bone, there must be a specialist barber somewhere...
