What's everyone's favourite episode and why?
Mine's got to be "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties". I don't think i've ever laughed harder in my life watching this. The best bits are the Nerd's reaction to the goofball of a narrator wearing a chicken mask, the ending of the episode, the dogs applauding and when the Nerd says "what you mean someone else played this *beep* I love this episode.
I have a couple of new favorites. The first Back To The Future episode with all the scenes from the movie. Also The Wizard Of Oz. Especially when he says the lion has this "weird bitch slap" for an attack.
Maybe I'll have some new favorites later.

I haven't seen them all but the one that I enjoy the most is that Silver Surfer review, the "You go this way you die, you die you die you die you die you die die die die die DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE YOU DIE !!!" part cracks me up every time.
And it undoubtedly features his best line ever. "Oh you F'CKING PUMPKIN PIECE OF SH'T !"
My favourite part of that episode is when it shows Silver Surfer weeping on his knees, and then the next scene shows the Nerd on his knees in that pose. That part makes me laugh every time.

It's a tie between Ghostbusters and Sega CD.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but it is mine.

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties was hilarious. The opening "cut scene" had me dying with laughter.
"You're going to jail for what you did to me."
"What did he do?"
"He wanted me to strip in order to get a job."
"You're disgusting."

I don't know what my favorite video game review is, but I definitely think that was the funniest moment. I'd have to say that I think his best review overall was his review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Yeah, it's movie, but it's still my favorite review that he's done. He really did a good job of putting the viewer in the mindset of what it was like to be a child in the late 80s or early 90s when Turtlemania was running wild. And he also did a really insightful retrospective on the three films and why the last one failed in comparson to its predecessors. I mean, "that Zorro guy" and Nabunaga?
I tried to like the film as a kid, but there was just simply no getting passed the disappointment of having non-mutated, non-name villains in a Turtles adaptation. It's like having a Superman movie where the main villain is a mad scientist with a laser ray. When did he ever appear in the series before and why should we care about this guy?
Honestly, I'd probably have to go through his reviews again to try and pick out a winner from among the game reviews. He just had so many funny ones and I can't help but feel like I'm forgetting one or two really good ones. And because of that, I'm not even going to list the ones which I think might be the funniest.
It's a tough call, definitely the episodes from the earlier seasons 1-4.
I really like 'Fester's Quest', 'Lester the Unlikely' and 'Dick Tracy'. To be honest I'm not so fond by the Mike Matei cameo appearance episodes.

Personally unlike some people I actually think he has only improved over time, that his reviews actually got better as they went on and has lost none of his charm over the years.
