Cinemassacre hi
I have never had the honor of getting to watch the Nerd in "Real Time"
Ok
@@MiguelPaulettePerez-bj8ml Neither have I
My dad got this game with my n64...I haven't spoken to him even since...
Who needs Tom Cruise when there's James Rolfe
But IS there James Rolfe, though? Or was it Tom Cruise the entire time?
Thepopcornator we may never know!
Tom Cruise: Are you sure about that?
WELL ABOUT THAT
Ikr
The Tom Cruise smiling, laughing, and body language is dead on.
The ending had me dying.
The whole episode was hilarious: fighting the developers, background characters walking through the main characters, Tom Cruise not being able to move boxes, and the headshot backflips! lol
That wheezing laugh can't be accurate, can it? It's infuriating.
All that was missing was his centered front top tooth
@@ThisClownTastesFunny you know, like the real Tom
Was anyone ever able to successfully _"Discover the team"_ ?
Thanks for having me in this!
I was looking for this comment😉
Thought that was you
Wait where?
@@banticraider The BGF message.
this is awesome!
For JUST a brief moment, I thought that was actually Tom Cruise. Probably the best impression of him I've ever seen.
Honestly I had to scroll to the comments to find out😅
YES!! That was the absolute BEST impression of Tom Cruise that I have seen ever!!
So very well done. Seriously.
the tooth gave it away
Except he didn't get the Tom Cruise is a Scientologist unfortunately bit.
who was it actually?
Honestly with the guests James has been able to get on the show, I genuinely considered that he might’ve gotten the real Tom Cruise
Maybe if tom cruise didn't become suddenly a big shot again doing his own stunts in 2020 movies and stuff.
No, but he did get Whang, and that's still pretty awesome!
For a moment, I really thought he was the real Tom Cruise
@@Ravenfellblade which one was that? i think his pizza delivery dude was probably the best cameo in any episode.
@@ivantumanov1015 did you see that last one. I dislike Tom Cruise as much as the next guy but he does do some amazing badass stunts
Didn’t know Tom Cruise also played Jack Nicholson’s Joker with that kind of laughter
THE* Joker
@@chrismeulen8108 THE Joker is and always will be, Mark Hamill. Nicholson's was pretty creepy though, I'll give him that.
"You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
@@hazukichanx408 specifically the version from the arkham games...
I’m not surprised, because Cruise is such a committed actor he actually fell off that building with a gargoyle dangling from his foot, and his hands barely holding onto the helicopter ladder.
That looked like Tom Cruise doing a Tom Cruise impression.
Really tired of seeing James tattoo on his arm.
HMMMMMM
@Dex they are secret lovers.. hackers confirm.
“Not Tom cruise”’s smile is 100% spot on!!
All except for the middle tooth 😂😆😂 ☠️💀☠️
I did some research and apparently Tom Cruise refused to have his likeness in the game because he had a distain for violent video games. I guess he had no problem with violence in movies though.
Many old farts to this day believe that video games unlike other entertainment mediums are kiddy stuff so violence in video games gets criticized alot.
He also has no problem with abusing homosexuals, being a Scientologist
I expected nothing less from Tom "always running" Cruise the Scientologist
Just like Stallone being for gun control, or matt damon not wanting to be in the Bourne game because of the violence
That's just the PR excuse they came up with for him back then, a popular one at the time.
Looks like Tom Cruise: 7.5/10; Tom Cruise Impression: 8/10; Sounds like Tom Cruise: 10/10
I don't know if Cruise does that crackly joker laugh but that was funny
@@gaminggoof1542 you havent seen his notorious guest appearance in Oprah..
He is obviously exaggerating for comedy, but I do think he could pull off a serious impression of him
Tom Cruise uncomfortable enthusiasm: 11/10
Knowledge of Tom Cruise: 15/10
The best part of that swinging laser stage is, that the lasers seem not to recognize the rope, but only ethan hunt.
I was going to comment the same thing
They are heat sensitive, so its like a thermal scope, detects body heat
The rope is made of a special fiber which can't be detected by the lasers.
imagine if he had actually convinced Tom Cruise to do the cameo xD
He would have to swear eternal allegiance to their Lord and Savior L. Ron Hubbard
i thought it was him
Wait, it's not him!??
@@sreeff4816 if it was him they would have to CGI the heck out of him to look younger...
@@Souls4Roca ....and taller 😂
Fun fact: Tom Cruise has his appearance licenced. Thats why game developers can't make a character with his face.
Interesting Fact. Weird that James Bond Actors don't have that problem.
@@rexjolles A different what every year? Actor, or Movie? If you mean Actor, it's not true. They don't change actors for Bond movies every year, most Bond eras had the same actor for years.
@@lunkirb7062 They did have that problem in Goldeneye, when they wanted to include all the previous actors who played Bond for the multiplayer, they couldn't get the rights.
@@Gogloglo There was a code or cheat on Goldeneye to play as the other Bond actors in multiplayer.
Everyone owns the rights to their own likeness. No "license" involved.
This was the funniest impersonation of Tom Cruise I've ever seen.
xLttPx I don’t think not seeing enough Tom Cruise impersonators can make your life sad.
Please. That was like the third funniest Tom Cruise impersonation I've seen TODAY.
Well, not really.
What are you talking about? That was THE Tom Cruise. Try to keep up bro, he was the Nerd all along.
You should see the one in the superhero movie
Imagine in the follow up AVGN we learn that the "Not Tom Cruise" was in fact played by the real Tom Cruise all along!
If Tom Cruise can star in in Tropic Thunder and no one realizing he can star in anything without anyone realizing.
Basicly a Super Spy but for acting.
@Gryphon Studios
Ah yes, because inviting someone for a silly cameo means that you support every action they've done in their entire life...
The guy playing Tom Cruise was hysterical! Dead on!
I was scrolling past and read this as “That dead guy playing Tom Cruise was hysterical!”
That wheeze laugh was the best part.
Had me dying.
Evan feranti check out his stuff!
The Tom Cruise lookalike cameo was golden, had me laughing so hard
He should review the Bruce lee game for original xbox and get that bruce lee impersonator from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to cameo lol.
You mean "Not Tom Cruise"?
Really? I didn't even snort slightly out of my nose.
That guy is amazing.
I found it was the opposite, it epitomizes everything wrong with AVGN these days
Tom Cruise goes, "Eheheheheheh."
That's pretty cool.
We're there, dude
Are you one of the boys h'whakin off in Mr.Anderson's tool shed?
@@Garethsmod You're a federal agent! You represent the United States government! Never end a sentence with a preposition.
Garethsmod thank you for that reference!!!!!!
I understand your frustration
Too bad Tom Cruise didn't start jumping on the Nerd's couch at the end.
2005 called.
Don’t wanna break that futon lol.
*WHEEZE*
That would have been even funnier, I agree!
hahahah
12:33 That's just a truck from Big Rigs. They can clip through solid matter, no big deal.
It actually looks like it too xD The lights on it and all xD
😂😂
"it stars the one an only Tom Cruise . . ."
Shows his pathological laughter.
Was a little disappointed that tom cruise didn’t jump on the nerds couch
Especially since the entire avgn 2020 budget was spent on this Cruise impersonator... jk
That futon can't take it.
@@jollygoodfellow3957 100%
Probably not filmed on site, because of COVID and such.
@@josephmac2684 Fair point.
Can't get enough of that Tom Cruise impression! That Ferrante guy nails it.
Whats the controller next to your name
@@mydadsaplumber it's a GameStation CastBox X controller.
He even has the off-center front teeth! It's amazing!
ropeccool he joined a membership for cinamassacre
Those perfect teeth tho
The effects of that ps1 exploding are pretty impressive actually.
I honestly thought it was real
On mommy
lol it looks awful
@@dr.loomis4221 “it looks awful” 🤓🤓🤓🤓
@@Blernster I was thinking they actually blew one up and then edited it into place on the shelf. 🫢
You very nearly had me. Considering you'd had Macaully Culkin on the show, i very nearly thought you got the actual Tom Cruise on.
ik thats why I was so confused when the Tom Cruise part came
For real. Tom Cruise pretty much dropped off the radar it seems and for a second I thought the Nerd somehow pulled him out of his hole and got him in an AVGN episode haha
I thought it was Jason Schwartzmann wearing shades for a bit.
I thought it was the same guy who did it for the Collider deep fakes.
@@lonelyone Corridor Digital
When he said the best CD player ever: the PlayStation 1. I felt that.
Why is it considered that?
@@davidjames579 Not actually a joke CD players were kinda trash at the time.. the play station was reliable and didn't skip as much when scratches were involved
I had PlayStation and Sega Saturn back then and I always much preferred the Sega Saturn mostly cause I could mess with the pitch and tone of the vocals.
I never remember anything skipping on the Saturn that the PlayStation would read. Could very well be possible though.
@@zero-theaveragegamer1159 To be fair, not a lot of people owned both a Playstation and a Sega Saturn to compare with. Most people just owned a Playstion if they had any consoles.
No, best cd player was technics sl-pg770d PERIOD
"Do you ever try to pick something up and jump instead? Don't you hate when that happens?"
I'm looking at you, Final Fantasy 15.
Connan The Babaria on the NES..
So true.
lolz, I do that in real life sometimes.
I forgot that happens in 15 and I played that for like 30 hours.
Exactly
not sure if he's joking about the ps1 being "the best cd player ever" or not, but for the record, the ps1 is in fact an incredible cd player. it was praised by HiFi magazines at the time for it's cleanness and depth of audio
I remember discovering that on accident as a kid and it blew my mind.
And AVGN blew it up with firecrackers.
Another piece of history lost.
@@Jackapher I put the wrong CD in my ps.
@@draxoronxztgs1212 It's not like there aren't over a hundred million units.
I like the jaguar cd better because of the light show (which was actually designed by the same dude who designed the xbox 360 music lightshow) and the sega cdx that could be a portable cd player with batteries and headphones
I'm convinced that's actually Tom Cruise at the end.
definitely a better impression than what I would expect for a "not tom cruise"
Perfect impression
He does do his own stunts...
Haha, it's gotta be. No doubt in my mind whatsoever.
Look at the teeth
Best Twist. The Nerd is Tom Cruise. Amazing.
What a tweest!
Boy is his wife in for a surprise.
nah best twist is that its bryan not tom cruise " karl pilkingtons movie plot called bryans brain
I THINK THAT I’M TOM CRUISE
@@MrSkerpentine im not saying im tom cruise , but have u ever seen me and tom in the same room together ?
I love that ending. The "Not Tom Cruise" does a great parody of "The real Tom Cruise." I love your videos, James. You complete me. ^^
He had you at 'hello'
f3rfra he had me at “(wheezing laugh)”
He had me at Top Gun. :P
@@illusioNery I don't even remember him ever laughing like that! Maybe I just haven't watch enough of the movies he has been in. 🤷😑
Wait, that's not the real Tom Cruise?
That is the most uncanny Tom Cruise impression I've ever seen. Like, the smile is dead-on.
Not Tom Cruise did a great impression, I genuinely thought James managed to get the actual Tom Cruise into the show
Dr.Zapps Evan Ferrante was credited against the end
I thought that Tom cruise impersonator was actually Tom cruise when I saw his teeth lol
The real Tom Cruise has funny teeth. :P The big front teeth aren't in the center, maybe due to an accident or something... I cannot remember :P
Lattamonsteri no, he got new teeth a long time ago
@@mokeyjoe8357 yes i didnt mean he has new teeth :P sry for being vague
Lol I was trying to figure out if that was actually him of not.
i did too
Pretty convincing, Mr. "Not Tom Cruise". Does the real Tom Cruise laugh like that too?
Pretty much.
He does actually
He's just missing the weird center tooth. Look at a pic of Cruise smiling, his one front tooth is directly centered under his nose.
Convincing?
@@DeAthWaGer he has since had his teeth fixed so it doesn't look like that anymore. But yes forever it looked like that and was often times the only thing I could think about during his movies lol
I loved this game. I never could get to the 3rd level when I was a kid. My grandpa would take over and beat it for me. I was 9.
That was a great impressionist at the end, he looked just like Cruise.
You don't say...
That's cause it's really him.
It was no impersonation it was the real Tom Cruise
@@cron205 It's an impressionist...lol
Nah James infiltrated Scientology to get Tom Cruise for his 30 seconds cameo
Plot twist: The game is actually a Scientology recruitment tool.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Except no impastas.
Nooooooo!! lol
What?
Wouldn't surprise me, honestly.
Wildest comment.
Petition for James to do Conker’s bad fur day. The Nerd and that game are a match made in heaven
But that game is actually fun.
@@ForeverLaxx So was Majora's Mask, but it was a HILARIOUS EPISODE! My favorite since Earthbound!
So as chrono trigger and Hanna barbera games
ForeverLaxx Indeed. Conker's BFD is a fantastic game in every aspect, and probably the most technically impressive game in the system. AVGN isn't always about bad games (like Earthbound) so it'd be a great idea, especially with the humour.
Agreed
As a kid I loved this game. Especially the Level in which you had to lure that woman into the bathroom and knock her out. I still remember it 20 years later
My theory for why Ethan Hunt in this game looks nothing like Tom Cruise is that they bought the rights for the IP but didn't bought the rights for Tom Cruise's likeness. Thats pretty common. Thats why in, for example, The Mask cartoon, Stanley Ipkiss looks nothing like Jim Carrey.
Normally yes, but apparently it was because he had a thing about video game violence.
Tom Cruise never licences out his likeness. That's why there are never any action figures based on his movie characters. Also why he never appears in video games based on his movies. I learned this from The Mummy Demastered videogame. Russell Crowe's character appears in the game, but not Tom Cruise.
A talking cat !!
The Real Ghostbusters characters don't resemble the real actors in the movie very much either.
Zerpie Funko also had to recall the Pop figure based on his character from The Mummy before it officially released for that reason. However, a few still made it to shelves. It’s extremely valuable.
I was diagnosed with Coronavirus three days ago. Despite the rough time, I've been watching avgn episodes whenever I am awake as entertainment. Thanks a lot for making your videos, James ♥
Get better soon my friend.
Lol
Get well soon!
Sending my best vibes your way....
Nice try. The virus isnt even real.
It took a surprizingly long time for somone to comment that the virus isn't real
Tom Cruise may have held onto a plane while it flew through the sky.
But has he spent 13+ years destroying LJN? I think not!
BIG OLE JUICY HAIRY SWANGIN FACTS RIGHT HERE
I loved this game as a kid. As well as Perfect Dark. But Conker's Bad Fur Day just blew me away. Very fond memories.
14:05 Sorry, my friend, I have a train to catch.
*already on the train
The Tom Cruise impression is spot on. I know everyone mentioned it but still.
Not Tom Cruise the star from *Mission fairly difficult but doable.*
You got a solid laugh out of me with that one.
Mission Improbable
Mission : Maybe, I'm not sure, it's unlikely
Flat Earth map at 01:29
Me trying to be confident:
Expectations = Tom Cruise
Reality = Michael Scott
That's still better than I can manage!
Threat level midnight!
That Tom Cruise cameo at the end has to be in the top 5 Nerd moments ever.
It was an impersonator. The end of the video says: Evan Ferrante as: "Not Tom Cruise"
You fellas take things a little too literally.
@@MoondustOverdose Remember it's the internet, you need to always specify the obvious
For a second I legit thought he managed to talk Tom Cruise into a cameo.
I legit thought the sane thing mate! 😂
That's probably why the dude's Twitter handle is NotTomCruise
He did.
Legitimately*
He was a very convincing Tom Cruise!
That Tom Cruise impression was spot-on.
Even down to the laughing
I don’t believe that is the REAL Tom for a second. His tooth isn’t in the center of his face.
I really like these at-home AVGN’s. They remind me of the original ones.
I’ve missed this style as well.
Same. Sometimes less is more.
100
Agreed.
Totally feel you man.
The Nerd, played by Not Tom Cruise, played by Evan Ferrante, played by James Rolfe, played by Old Man Jenkins.
And he would have gotten away with it...
Formerly chuck
Wait a minute. I dont even know anybody name md old man Jenkins.
A Hideo Kojima Game
Wait,...Old man Jenkins wasn't there....I dont even kno anyone named Old Man Jenkins!
As far as I know, Tom Cruise has in his contract part where he forbids any marketing material of himself in stuff like video games. That is why the Mumie demastered doesn't have him either.
Kind of like how Al Pacino’s likeness wasn’t used in The Godfather game because he already had a contract in place for the Scarface game
@@mjf2891 It was weird seeing everyone as they appeared in the movie and then just having some random guy as Michael.
@@mjf2891 or how Michael Madsen was the only recognisable actor in the _Reservoir Dogs_ game.
I think the same applies to toys.
I remember having alot of fun with this as a kid even though i could never figure out what to do.
Same here I had no idea what to do
I loved this game I beat the entire game multiple times.
Same,i couldnt get past one part because you had to jump over the fence because i was a confused 8 year old
I remember not understanding how to give the Piano Player the music, so I tried something. I ended up punching him, then "Help! Someone's killed the piano player!" and I was arrested.
I can't stop laughing when I saw the "not Tom Cruise" XDDD
he kind of look like the real one, but the laugh....make me laughing XDDDDD
What do you mean? He's not the real Tom Cruise? :(
Whenever an AVGN episode comes up I instantly stop anything I’m doing to watch it. Lost 6 jobs because of that.
I don't believe that you lost 6 jobs because of that specific action. One maybe.
@@countrystud1986 I was there, he lost seven actually
Worth it every time, am I right?
That the spirit!!
Only 6? Better step up your game son
I cannot tell you the hype I had this game whenever it was in Preview sections in Nintendo mag and Gamesmaster. Absolutely had no doubt it was going to be 'the next Goldeneye!'. Clearly I hadn't experienced much disappointment in my life at that point...
They hyped the AI so much in that Nintendo Power preview too. Like it was going to be this completely open world with brilliant AI and open-ended gameplay.
you really old hag man
I was obsessed with this game when I was a kid. I remember a really gnarly glitch in the hospital level where the helicopter wouldn't spawn on the roof.
Played this when I was too young to realize that games were sometimes poorly designed. Undue frustration for sure!
Feel you, bro. I also played this as a kid and thought it was cool but was stuck at the level where you're running around under the influence of some drug. I was convinced it was the last mission, but only now did I learn the game is much larger.

The nerd is nostalgia. Ive been watching him since 11 years old. I’m 25 now. I found him because I bought Simons Quest For the nes back in 2006 from my local bargain shop. I couldn’t figure out anything in the game, so I looked it up and found the Nerd. Coincidence I guess. He was called the Nintendo Nerd back than tho.
Thats a great way to discover AVGN!
That's funny cuz I was 25 when I started watching him. I'm 39 now.
Same dude, 13 now I'm 27, been a fan of this guy for more than half my life, what a journey! In retrospect we probably shouldn't have been watching at that age lol but I wouldn't change it for the world

I can tell that isn't Tom Cruise because he doesn't have the weird middle tooth.
Can never unsee it

Sounds like something Tom Cruise would say to lull us into a false sense of security
" imagine a device that can send text messages that fits in your pocket?" That already exists. It's called a pager.
I think he was joking.
it would be cool if they put games in it, like a game boy

Nah, that kind of stuff only exists on Star Trek.
Yep, everyone has a pager nowadays. Crazy huh?

Asuklown Apprently he is really writing one. He mentioned it in a recent update video
Nice I hope we get a timeline
I’d buy that for a dollar.
He almost looks like Tom Cruise, but there’s one thing wrong... Tom has a tooth that is in the center of his mouth.
and once you see you can never unsee it
Does he? For real?

Plot twist: you’re watching Tom Cruise play Mission Impossible.
Technically it's Evan Ferrante playing Tom Cruise playing the AVGN playing Tom Cruise in a video game.
In 2040, he’s gonna review Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
In 2045, he’s gonna review Fast and Furious: Crossroads
or ghosts
Wasn't even that bad of a game
Can't wait for it, same for FAF Crossroads! XD
Doesn't really fit the Nerds MO though, sure it's a derivative Sci Fi shooter but it's competently put together and doesn't really do anything particularly badly except for it's heavy handed narrative.
I honestly thought this game was awesome back in 1998, groundbreaking for its time
Metal Gear Solid came out the same year, so I wouldn’t exactly say MI is groundbreaking, even for it’s day.
@@tarantinoish Actually, this game was released almost two months before Metal Gear Solid and was based on a movie that was released two years prior, which itself was based on a TV show that initially aired 30 years earlier. In fact, the levels in this game play out like a stealth mission from the shows and movies, with the agents knocking people out, taking their identities, sabotaging equipment, faking documents, framing other people, and overall tricking the bad guys into doing what they want, so to say that Mission: Impossible isn't groundbreaking is a stretch. It makes me feel like I'm stepping into the shoes of an IMF agent. As Martin Landau, who played Rollin Hand on the TV show, stated in an interview, "Mission was a mind game. The ideal mission was getting in and getting out without anyone ever knowing we were there."
Likewise
It’s strange, a Mission Impossible game with the iconic shot of Tom Cruise hanging on the floor during the heist would make a perfect box-art for an N-64 Cover.
The days before engines actually used physics and just used static placement on a single surface:
If bullet.object = npcregion.head
then animation = backflip
Else

Best insane ending since Drake of the 99 dragons matrix ending!
The "Tom Cruise" bit at the end was hilarious.
That couldn't have actually been Tom Cruise. He didn't destroy your futon by furiously jumping up and down on it.
Do you know how long it takes to get the smell of Tom Cruise out of your futon?
He was probably trying to pick up the futon
@@dynamicsketch Kyle wouldn't have liked that

"Tom" should have jumped on the couch
Guitar Guy's skeleton shoulda flipped him off after he was done.
Missed opportunity. Maybe next time?
or do you mean he should been pick something from the couch and then suddenly jump instead?
What couch? It was all greenscreened all along.
Real Talk: That was filmed elsewhere I bet, due to the pandemic. So no couch jumping I am sad to say.
Was that “Whang” talking on the TV?
yes

Stay awhile...STAY FOREVER!
