New AVGN episode on the Berstein Bears and the Mendela effect.

  • Me and my brother watched it last night. That whole time thing and the stuff about dimensions at the end was surprisingly interesting, haha.

    Was Nelson Mendela the South African dude in your universe?  





    Pretty funny episode. Kind of wish he touched upon the Diddy's Kong Quest/Diddy Kong's Quest one, too.



    I did appreciate the Atari Kid Vid addon finally getting some love.

    There are people who swear they remember Diddy's Kong Quest as Diddy Kong's Quest.

  • Jesus....you still couldn't help but brutalize Berenstain, huh?

    Never had a problem as a kid, but I certainly made a "Diddy's Kong Quest" thread a few years back....that blew some minds, mine included.
  • I loved it. Growing up reading the books and watching the cartoons, I can totally relate lol!
  • I liked the episode, made me look back at some old video tapes recorded from tv and sure enough it was spelled Berenstain, but in the theme song the person said Berenstein. My guess is mostly every kid who watched this couldn't read yet, and by the time they did they wouldn't second guess it.
  • Haven't watched it yet but I loved the books as a kid. Had a few VHS movies too.
  • I always remembered it as Berenstain so I dunno  I have heard of this argument before though and guessed he would touch on it on the video, but didn't think it would become the main focus.


    Also Berenstain Bears on Genesis is good?


    Also, also, anybody else notice they kept changing the spelling on the title of the video? That was kinda funny
  • I enjoyed it. One of the better recent Nerd episodes.



    I also dig his movie reviews. Even if you're turned off by Rolfe's humor you should check them out. You'd expect him to just be making fun of bad movies like he does with video games, but he's being himself rather than playing a character. He tries to be respectful and positive even when reviewing "bad" movies.

    The changing title was the best part, real clever. 

     
  • Some people in the Youtube comments are really confused about it, too.

    Yeah he may be a little too respectful in those reviews.  He made Frankenhooker sound like it was worth watching.  But it's a bad Skinemax movie at best.

     
  • I thought it was really cool   i didn't expect him to focus on that subject.
  • The funniest part of this for me is that I picked up Berenstain Bears for Atari 2600 for $2 (it's worth a couple hundred) and when I looked at the label I thought it was spelled incorrectly so I looked it up and it blew my mind. That was a couple of years ago and now I realize I'm not alone, others also thought it was spelled with an E.
  • I laughed hard at the Bimmy and Jimmy reference. That was brilliant.
  • Much better episode than his latest ones. That one had some genuinely funny moments, plus the theme is pretty good.
  • That was worth the watch. Thanx for sharing...

  • I distinctly remember watching the TV show years ago and it was spelled Berenstein. I remember the books in the dentist office, Berenstein. I've always been good at grammar and language. Back then I took the spelling for granted, there wasn't anything strange about Berenstein, it's a very real name, it just had a funny bear and beer stein pun to it.



    But Berenstain? That is so wrong, it looks like it's misspelled. It's not even a proper last name. Berenstein is very German/Jewish.



    The last thing I was expecting from AVGN was Berenstein Bears. This is easily his best work as of late, it was such a genuinely entertaining and funny halloween episode. The whole conspiracy angle was the cherry on the cake.

    I'm still laughing at that one!

    Wait, people thought that it was 'Diddy Kong's Quest' instead of 'Diddy's Kong Quest'? lol The commercials back then constantly said the name which was drilled in my head all these years, so I never had a problem of misreading the title.



    Like in the story he's trying to find Donkey Kong, and it's his conquest (Kong Quest). Saying 'Diddy Kong's Quest' sounds wierd to me.

    The title of the thread definitely made me double-take and make sure I knew what Mandela effect was to confirm that it wasn't people confused about whether the name was Mandela or Mendela...



     
  • Yeah, this was the best AVGN episode in a while. Really enjoyed it.

    It was almost as fun to watch as the last few Board James episodes.

    Lol the thread title was a combo of poor spelling skills and trying to type quickly on my phone while walking. I think I'll just leave it for fun

    I knew about the Mandela effect and why it came to be named such, but I was second guessing the way it was spelled after Nathan mentioned it. I thought it was "Mendela"



    It's funny since that's exactly what the basis of what the Mandela effect stands for. The meaning behind it is perfect in more ways than one. lol

    94-95 was the period of my parents divorce and we didn't have cable anymore during that time, just antenna tv, so I may have never seen the commercial. I vividly remember the original DKC commercial.

    I never had cable either, but of course regular broadcasting is different from state to state. There's been things like shows and sitcoms people talk about I've never seen or even heard of! lol
