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
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?
“Not Tom cruise”’s smile is 100% spot on!!
All except for the middle tooth 😂😆😂 ☠️💀☠️
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
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"_ ?
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 😂
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!
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.
The Nerd being Tom Cruise is the biggest plot twist since Les Grossman being Tom Cruise.
A true virtuoso.
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
😂😂
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. 🫢
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.
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.
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
That is the most uncanny Tom Cruise impression I've ever seen. Like, the smile is dead-on.
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.
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.
Me trying to be confident:
Expectations = Tom Cruise
Reality = Michael Scott
That's still better than I can manage!
Threat level midnight!
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.
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
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
I don’t believe that is the REAL Tom for a second. His tooth isn’t in the center of his face.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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...
I can tell that isn't Tom Cruise because he doesn't have the weird middle tooth.
Can never unsee it
@@bonviveur6
Not true... I...
I CAN'T UNSEE IT! DAAAHHHHHH!
Sounds like something Tom Cruise would say to lull us into a false sense of security
I loved this game, it looked so complex, the embassy mission was my favorite.
"it stars the one an only Tom Cruise . . ."
Shows his pathological laughter.
"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
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.
15:39 Something about the way the head laughed on the way down was both creepy and hilarious.
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
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
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
6:10 It's the latter, regress.
"Innovate" means to introduce something new or make changes to something previously established.
"Regress" means to return to a former or less developed state.
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.
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
I had this game as a kid. I actually liked this game. I never had as many problems with it like Nerd did with shooting, or jumping. Some levels were harder than other, but I enjoyed it.
15:14 BRUHH
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'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
I miss the swearwords and the old intros :(
then go and watch ecco the dolphin!
HE RETURNED TO HIS ROOTS BABY!!!!
07:00 there is a cut here ;)
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?
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 ?
8:47 "Way to go"
THAT`S THE BEST PART!
8:52 way to go!
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
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.
7:56 Wow........... imagine that happening 20 Years later wow....................
Been watching these vids since 2018 helped me through some tough times always a great laugh man
14:05 Sorry, my friend, I have a train to catch.
*already on the train
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.
Ever since I learned about Tom Cruise's "middle tooth" I can't unsee it.
From now on, we shall call him *Tom Tooth.*
7:39 exploding chewing gum only $9.95
I don't get it
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
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
That guy who played Tom is all over Twitter, he does cameo vids, bday parties and everything as Tom.
Fun fact about the game: if you jump off the roof of the IMF building you get a cutscene of you falling to your death.
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 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
Everybody gangsta till they realise angry video game nerd was on King of The Hill.
when?
That has to be the funniest episode since big riggs ( apart from maybe the Christmas specials). Fair play and I was not expecting "Tom Cruise" to appear/ cameo at the end.. :-)
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!
The Tom Cruise impression is spot on. I know everyone mentioned it but still.
13:20 the game programmers are the most powerful beings in the universe
15:09 is AVGN a psychic?
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
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.
Those are either decent effects or you actually blew up a ps1. Lol
What'd you expect? He's dunked in CZcams money! If Mr.Beast can do crazy shxt then im sure James could afford a demolition crew and C4 to blow up a mint PS1 in his man cave xD
The PS1 version was one of my favorite games as a kid, I kept coming back to it again and again (with Lost World too).
@@christopherkane7642 Remember the PS1 version having slightly better graphics?
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
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!
Hard to believe that this video was made during the pandemic, which feels like yesterday. But AVGN just give you the "12 years ago" video vibe.
How did I miss all these episodes??? Thanks youtube for never telling me about them.
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.
That Tom Cruise impression was spot-on.
Even down to the laughing
Dude, that Tom Cruise impression was so on point, they even got his tooth that's on the exact center of his face right!
9:20 dude, thats the same death sound of Rebel Soldiers in Metal Slug
