3->''"I feel like I've played every bad game I ever played all at once. And now others are playing it. Because of me! It's like I shared all my horrible experiences! ItsAllMyFault! Fuck this game!"''
4-->-- '''The Nerd''' himself, after beating the game in his own show.

8''The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures'' (often shortened to ''AVGN Adventures'') is a PlatformGame starring WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, developed by Freakzone Games (the same people who made an unofficial ''VideoGame/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' game) and released for Platform/{{Steam}} on September 19th, 2013, Platform/{{Wii U}} on April 2, 2015, and Platform/{{Nintendo 3DS}} on June 4, 2015.
9
10The game's story is appropriately [[ExcusePlot minimal]]. The Nerd is playing a shitty game with his friends when [[TrappedInTVLand the TV abruptly sucks them inside]]; he escapes to the basement, but [[VideoGame/{{Action52}} an arm reaches out of the TV]], [[GroinAttack grabs him by the balls]] and pulls him inside as well. In this place (termed "Game Land"), he must fight through eight levels, [[CallBack each incorporating bits and pieces]] [[ContinuityCavalcade of some of the games he's covered]], in order to get back to the real world and fight the one who trapped him in the first place.
11
12Despite being a LicensedGame, and intentionally referencing some of the poor design choices the Nerd detests, it's actually a [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames very fun]] (if [[NintendoHard difficult]]) game. The Nerd himself has reviewed it rather positively[[note]](for about three minutes, at least, and then [[RuleOfFunny he started swearing at it again]])[[/note]], along with several other games based off of himself.
13
14A sequel titled ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdIIAssimilation'' was released on March 29, 2016. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sv3K7EtcCM A trailer is available.]]
15
16''The Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe'', a remastered CompilationRerelease containing ''The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures: [[PunBasedTitle RemAssTurd]]'' and ''The Angry Video Game Nerd II: [=ReASSimilated=]'' along with a bonus third game, ''The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower of Torment'', was simulataneously released on Platform/{{Steam}} and Platform/NintendoSwitch on October 30th, 2020, with the Platform/XboxOne and Platform/PlayStation4 versions releasing on March 19, 2021. It serves as an expansion of the second game with the same mechanics, and consists of an extra bonus world with four stages. The plot is that a giant floating castle appears in the air, from which a mysterious figure flips off the Nerd and claims that his games suck. Insulted, the Nerd hops into a UFO to brave the castle and teach the figure a lesson.

20[[folder:''The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures'' tropes]]
21* OneUp: Each level has collectable extra lives, which take the form of the Nerd's face.
22* AchillesHeel: One of the best pieces of advice when it comes to taking down [[{{Satan}} The Devil]] is to use the Bullshit Man. His lob-arc makes hitting him very easy, on top of him having the strongest attack.
23* AdaptationNameChange: The final boss is named for [[spoiler:real life film producer Fred Fuchs]]. Naturally, to avoid a defamation lawsuit, the game spells it [[spoiler:Fred ''Fucks'']].
24* AffectionateParody: In addition to the obvious shitty games featured on AVGN (which get a Special Thanks line all to themselves), the game also parodies well known NintendoHard games like ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' and ''Franchise/MegaMan''.
25* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts"]] reprises many obstacle setpieces from the previous stages, such as the circling fireballs, Lost Souls and flame jets from "Thy Farts Consumed"; the jetpackers, phallic missiles, rotating lasers, switch platforms, disappearing blocks, and Silver Surfboard from "Future Fuckballs 2010"; the witches, ghost blocks and snake platform from "Boo! Haunted House"; the death block gauntlet from "Assholevania"; the gummy bounce lifts from "Happy Fun Candy Time"; the breakable spring blocks from "Beat it and Eat It"; the crumbling platforms and fire sharks from "Dungeons and Dickholes", etc.
26* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: [[invoked]] Not even the Nerd can put up with [[{{Expy}} Naggi]]. [[spoiler:You can even kill her at the end of the tutorial, and you get a achievement for doing so.]]
27* AttackItsWeakPoint: The boss of "Assholevania" is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Hyde is invincible, so you can only deal damage during the brief moments he turns back into Jekyll.
28* AWinnerIsYou: Parodied. The "Stage Clear" screen displays the text "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin STAGE CLEAR!]] [[VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984 CONGLATURATION!!]]" above the Nerd FlippingTheBird, along with death and time counters for the stage as well as the total number of deaths and time for the playthrough thus far.
29* BalancePowerSkillGimmick: The Nerd is [[JackOfAllStats balanced]], the Bullshit Man has the most powerful weapon, the Guitar Guy can shoot through walls, and Mike Matei has the ability to see hidden paths.
30* BigBad: [[spoiler:Fred Fucks is the creator of the game's world, and is responsible for the Nerd and friends getting pulled inside]].
31* BigBoosHaunt: "Boo! Haunted House", which is set in a dark area that is filled with ghosts, flying carved pumpkins and witches.
32* BlackoutBasement: "Boo! Haunted House". You can only see for a certain distance.
33* BodySled: The segment before the stage boss of "Blizzard of Balls", you get to ride down a slope filled with spikes and all sorts of obstacles using the ''corpse of an evil Santa Claus you just killed''.
34* BondOneLiner: The Nerd says several of these after killing bosses (most notably in "Future Fuckballs 2010" – “Where did you learn to be an asshole?").
35* BossRemix: Both the boss theme and the final boss theme incorporate bits of the AVGN's theme song.
36* BrickJoke: Upon entering "Happy Fun Candy Time", the Nerd snarks that the place looks like a giant unicorn had diarrhea everywhere. Cue the boss of the area ([[spoiler:in the original version, anyway]]), which is… a giant unicorn.
37-->'''Nerd''': I fucking knew it!
38* TheCameo: Several other internet personalities show up in hidden areas, accompanied by several power-ups and sometimes a brief quip. (Shit Pickle also appears in every level as an EasterEgg of sorts.)
39** Averted in the remastered version, where they all get removed and replaced with a character called the Future Nerd.
40* CheckPoint: The Nerd's Nintoaster. On "Hard as Balls" difficulty, they're invisible...
41* CheckpointStarvation: ...and on higher difficulties, they're not there at all.
42* {{Chiptune}}: All of the music, unsurprisingly.
43* ChristmasEpisode: The Nerd encounters Santa Claus in "Blizzard of Balls", and the three spirits of Christmas act as the level boss.
44* CompetitiveBalance:
45** ''The Nerd'' is a JackOfAllStats. He can aim his weapon in any direction, and is the only one able to attack on ladders.
46** ''Guitar Guy''[[note]](Kyle Justin)[[/note]] has a rather low jump, but can run faster. Unlike the others, his projectiles can go through solid walls.
47** ''Bullshit Man'' also has a rather low jump, but can [[DoubleJump do it twice]], and has a very strong attack that falls to the ground shortly after firing, [[DifficultButAwesome which helps a lot to hit enemies in angles the Nerd normally can't do without putting himself in harm's way]] (or worse, using the rock from ''Friday the 13th'').
48** Mike Matei[[note]](also known as Motherfucker Mike)[[/note]] has a short-ranged weapon, but has the highest jump and can spot weak blocks and secret paths.
49* ContinuityCavalcade: [[ContinuityNod/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures See here.]]
50* CorridorCubbyholeRun: The periodically appearing and disappearing Death Blocks are used for this purpose.
51* CrapsaccharineWorld: The "Happy Fun Candy Time" stage looks like your typical SugarBowl, but like all the other stages [[EverythingIsTryingToKillYou it's full of deadly obstacles and enemies.]]
52* CrossPoppingVeins: Shows up, out of all places, on the title screen.
53* DarkReprise: the stage select theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YDhQQsun6k "Welcome to Game Land"]], is replaced by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6okeAX0LQw "Welcome to Glitched Game Land"]] once the final stage "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts" is unlocked.
54* DeadlyWalls: The skull & crossbones-marked Death Blocks that are a OneHitKill if the Nerd touches them.
55* DeadpanSnarker: The Nerd.
56--> '''Naggi:''' Press the "A" button to jump! Hold it down to jump higher!
57--> '''Nerd:''' Jump button to jump? You're a fucking genius! Now leave me alone!
58* DemBones: The Guitar Guy, who is just a skeleton. {{Enforced}} by the fact that Kyle Justin, the actor who plays the Guitar Guy in the webshow, declined to allow his likeness to be used in the game.
59* DenialOfDiagonalAttack: While the Nerd averts this, being able to fire his Zapper in eight different directions, the Guitar Guy and the Bullshit Man can only fire their attacks either left or right in predetermined patterns.
60* DifficultButAwesome: In stages which have the Glitch Gremlin power-up, it's very difficult to make it to the boss with it, but if you do, the battle is practically won.
61* DoubleJump: The Bullshit Man can [[ToiletHumour fart]] mid-jump to increase his jump's height. It helps make up for his individual jumps being lower than those of the Nerd.
62* DragonRider: "Dungeons and Dickholes" ends with an UnexpectedShmupLevel where you ride the back of a dragon and fly around the screen.
63* DualBoss: [[TradeSnark Bimmy]] and Jimmy (read: [[VideoGame/ANightmareOnElmStreetNES Freddy]] and [[VideoGame/FridayThe13th Jason]]) in "Boo! Haunted House".
64* DubNameChange: Zig-zagged. ''1 & 2 Deluxe'' adds support for 6 European languages, so naturally (almost, depending on your language) all of the level names get changed to maintain the humor, such as the French version changing "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts" to "Mort de Rire" (literally meaning dead of laughter but used like LOL in English) . However, there are also cases of straight translations or even GratuitousEnglish. In fact, if you fight Fred Fucks in Italian, the Nerd will point out how "it's only funny if you know English."
65* DungFu: The Bullshit Man attacks by throwing bullshit that falls in a downward arc as it flies forward. It's noticeably more powerful than some of the other characters' weapons.
66* EasyModeMockery: On "Easy" difficulty, the Nerd's zapper is pink. And unlike the other difficulties, there's no achievement for beating the game on it.
67* EndGameResultsScreen: The game ends by showing your total time and deaths.
68* EpicFlail: The FinalBoss deploys a pair of these when he first TurnsRed, than a second longer-chained pair in his final phase.
69-->"Feel the wrath of my balls!"
70* EroticEating: The icon for "Beat It and Eat It" on the level select screen shows a woman seductively licking an ice cream cone, in reference to the cover of the Atari 2600 porno game ''Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em''.
71* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Inverted - "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts" is full of rainbows, and [[PlatformHell is most certainly not good.]]
72* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Fred Fucks]] to the protagonists, as he wears a duplicate of the Nerd's glasses, the Bullshit Man's pants, Mike's shirt, and has the Guitar Guy's facial hair style. This is dropped in the CompilationRerelease, where he is instead redesigned such that it reflects his appearance in the show during the ''Life of Black Tiger'' episode.
73* ExcusePlot: The final boss used his magic game powers to pull the Nerd into a shitty video game. Go find him and kill him.
74* ExpositionFairy: Spoofed with [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Naggi the Patronizing Firefly]][[hottip:*:or "Patronising" as it's spelled in the game]], who teaches you obvious things during the tutorial level. The Nerd [[UnwantedAssistance will have]] [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper none of it]] (and has the option to kill her at the end).
75--> '''Nerd:''' You want to hold my hand through a video game?? I'm the fuckin' Nerd! Bitch!
76* {{Expy}}: Naggi the Patronizing Firefly is quite clearly a parody of Navi, the FairyCompanion from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''.
77* FetishRetardant: InUniverse, "Beat It and Eat It" is not at all arousing, especially not to the Nerd (who even remarks upon this when he first enters the stage).
78* FinalDeathMode: YOLO difficulty.
79* FlippingTheBird: Done by the Nerd several times, most notably in his IdleAnimation and during the Level Clear screen.
80* FreefallFight: The boss fight against the demon[=/=]{{Satan}} at the end of "Thy Farts Consumed".
81* ForcedTutorial: The first level is a tutorial by [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Naggi]] (pronounced "Naggy" as in "One Who Nags") as a parody of other such tutorial levels. This is complete with the Nerd angrily telling Naggi that he's played this sort of game for ''years'' and that he doesn't want her help. Granted, it's in far more colorful language...
82* TheFourChordsOfPop: The B-section of "Happy Fun Candy Time" music.
83* FunWithAcronyms: The final level is called, "'''L'''aughin' '''J'''okin' '''N'''umbnuts", which is a spoof of Creator/LJNToys, the game publisher that the Nerd has criticized the most.
84* GameOverMan: The Nerd himself, provided a randomly-generated quote involving animals, bodily wastes, and gross acts involving said bodily wastes.
85* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere:
86** The Giant Claw. It's probably a reference to Freakzone Games' earlier ''Manos'' videogame, where the Claw was one of the bosses (not that it was less out of place even there), and/or the fact that Creator/JamesRolfe put it as the number one giant movie monster in one of his early Top Tens.
87** The FinalBoss ([[spoiler:Fred Fucks]]) also has absolutely no buildup.
88* GroinAttack: The opening sees the Nerd getting dragged into Game Land by the balls, a reference to the ''VideoGame/{{Action 52}}'' review.
89* GuestFighter: Since they're not part of the regular ''AVGN'' show, the inclusion of playable characters Mike Matei and [[WebVideo/YouKnowWhatsBullshit the Bullshit Man]] results in this.
90* HGame: ''Beat It and Eat It!'' is a takeoff of the Platform/{{Atari 2600}}'s naughty lineup. It's not sexy in the slightest, mostly due to the bizarre graphics.
91* HalloweenEpisode: "Assholevania" is your standard horror themed level, while "Boo! Haunted House" has stuff like flying carved pumpkins in it.
92%%* HardLevelsEasyBosses
93* HarderThanHard: "Hard as Balls", which disables the save function; "Fucking Impossible", which makes you a OneHitPointWonder with five lives and no checkpoints; and finally "YOLO", basically the exact same thing as ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy''[='=]s Impossible mode (that is, die once and you're back to the beginning).
94* HaveANiceDeath: The game features the Nerd's parody of the ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th'' GameOver screen:
95-->You're dead
96-->Your friends are dead
97-->Your family's dead
98-->Your fucking pets are being skinned alive
99-->Your mom's a fucking whore
100-->You suck at life
101-->The world hates you
102-->You're going to hell
103-->Live with it
104-->GAME OVER
105* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler:The ending, where the Nerd finds that the game he was playing was ''designed'' to [[TrappedInTVLand suck you in]]. He remarks that you'd have to be a "total nerd" to play it again... then proceeds to do exactly that.]] Roll credits.
106* HockeyMaskAndChainsaw: Used by Jimmy, following the common misconception that [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] used a chainsaw.
107* HolidayMode: For Halloween weekend, every playable character wears a jack o'lantern on their head. There’s also a Steam achievement for beating the game during this weekend.
108* HyperactiveMetabolism: Beer restores your health, which is [[LifeMeter itself measured in beer bottles]].
109-->'''Naggi:''' Beer restores your health, and makes everything better!
110-->'''Nerd:''' Damn straight.
111* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels:
112** Easy, Normal, Old-School are the default ones.
113** HarderThanHard difficulties begin with Hard as Balls.
114** [[OneHitPointWonder Fucking Impossible]].
115** [[FinalDeathMode YOLO]].
116* IdleAnimation: All playable characters expect Guitar Guy have one: Nerd [[BreakingTheFourthWall looks at the player and flips them off]], Mike yawns, and Bullshit Man squats and takes a messy dump.
117* ImprobableWeaponUser:
118** The Guitar Guy's guitar. The sound waves fire in a wavy-like pattern and can go through obstacles.
119** Meanwhile, the Nerd uses toy {{Light Gun|Game}}s as actual weapons.
120* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: The stage clear screen references the infamous typo from ''VideoGame/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}''[='=]s ending screen.
121* InvincibleMinorMinion: The ghosts in the "[[BigBoosHaunt Boo! Haunted House]]" stage cannot be killed, but can be frozen by the [[SmartBomb Glitch Gremlin]].
122* InvisibleBlock: At least two levels have blocks that only appear when you get close, and these often include [[DeadlyWalls death blocks]].
123* JokeItem: One of the special weapons is the useless Rock from ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th''.
124-->'''The Nerd:''' ...this weapon sucks.
125* JumpPhysics: It's different with each character. Mike can jump the highest of the characters, whereas the Guitar Guy and the Bullshit Man suffer somewhat. The Guitar Guy compensates by being able to run faster, and the Bullshit Man can DoubleJump.
126* KaizoTrap: Watch your step after defeating each boss, because you're still able to die (and subsequently fight them all over again) during their death sequence.
127* KonamiCode: Inputting the code on the title screen of will trigger a fake Blue Screen of Death, advising the player to be more creative [[LampshadeHanging as that cheat code is too obvious]].
128* LaserBlade: Mike's weapon of choice, the Beam Blade. It can also destroy destructible tiles.
129* LaserHallway: There are timed instant-death rays in the "Future Fuckballs 2010" and "Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts" stages.
130* LawyerFriendlyCameo:
131** Mike's LaserBlade is all but a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber]].
132** [[VideoGame/DoubleDragon "Bimmy & Jimmy"]], the DualBoss of "Boo! Haunted House", are actually [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]'s claw hand form from his [[VideoGame/ANightmareOnElmStreetNES NES game]] and [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], respectively.
133* LeapOfFaith: Both subverted and played straight in "Dungeons & Dickholes". It's subverted when the first useful ladder down to the lower level has a pit right next to it. Fall into the pit and you die. Go down the ladder, and the camera will adjust to allow free vertical scrolling for the remainder of the level, and also revealing what could have been a safe landing below said pit. The rest of the level has numerous typical leaps of faith, including one that contains a useful checkpoint right before a parody of the ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' disappearing block sections.
134* LightGunGame: The Nerd's weapons of choice. The default weapon is the NES Zapper, and there's also the Super Scope, which is stronger. Like the shotgun in ''VideoGame/ManosTheHandsOfFate'' (an earlier Freakzone Games title), it’s lost the moment you get hit or change characters.
135* LudicrousGibs: Done every time something dies.
136* MadLibsDialogue: The death screen is the Nerd saying one of three sentences complaining about being trapped in the game, with certain words randomized. For example, it's possible for the Nerd to call the game "[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment poopy poop]]".
137* MoodWhiplash: The boss of [[SugarBowl Happy Fun Candy Time]] in the ''Deluxe'' edition are the Bloodstain Bears, twisted and violent parodies of Literature/TheBerenstainBears.
138* MusicalPastiche:
139** The BGM for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYSc_rYsYHk "Laughing Joke Numbnuts"]] sounds like an 8-bit style parody of Music/DragonForce, particularly "Through the Fire and the Flames".
140** Likewise, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN1XiygKDUQ "Beat It and Eat It"]] BGM is a pastiche of the Nerd's theme and Culture Beat's 1990's dance hit "Mr. Vain".
141** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMhy6uuqHgI "Assholevania"]] is this to the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' soundtracks.
142** "Boo - Haunted House" theme has a music nod to ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'' theme with the highest-pitch channel from 1:15 to the end of the loop.
143* NintendoHard: Even the Nerd himself thinks so! The Easy setting is already hard as nails, but the higher difficulty levels are pure PlatformHell. This is lampshaded by the achievement for beating the game on Normal difficulty, "You call that normal?!"
144* OneHitKill: Death blocks and they're ''everywhere.'' Other stuff like pits, crushing traps and the laser traps in other levels will also kill you instantly regardless of health.
145** Jimmy in the [=RemAssTurd=] updated re-release is also a one-hit kill.
146* OneHitPointWonder: Both Fucking Impossible mode and YOLO mode turn the player into this. Fucking Impossible at least gives you five lives to compensate. YOLO, on the other hand, [[NoDamageRun sends you back to the tutorial level for getting harmed at any point in the game]].
147* OrbitingParticleShield: Skylar (aka the "'Where did you learn to fly?' bitch"), the boss of "Future Fuckballs 2010", does this with smaller replicas of herself.
148* PhallicWeapon: The Nerd refers to "scrotum guns" trying to kill him during the level "Future Fuckballs 2010". Said level also has phallic missiles.
149* PlanetHeck: "Thy Farts Consumed", which is apparently video game {{hell}} itself. Complete with ''VideoGame/{{DOOM}}'' references!
150* PowerUpLetdown: Lampshaded with the rock subweapon, a reference to the equally useless rock weapon in the ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th'' game. The Nerd complains about it when he first acquires it in the tutorial level.[[note]]Though it does help to kill exactly one enemy in "Assholevania", when you most likely do not have Bullshit Man unlocked yet.[[/note]]
151* PunnyName: Naggi.
152* RecurringRiff: The game uses variations of the Nerd's theme tune in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJhpPCd92Wk title theme]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4beXNN8O3M tutorial]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YDhQQsun6k level select screen]], "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euH0FsoIJ18 Future Fuckballs 2010]]", the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9InIQ5MZnI boss theme]], and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv9AVOQjnPg Stage Clear jingle]].
153* ReferenceOverdosed: To both other video games and to ''[=AVGN=]'' episodes.
154* {{Retraux}}: The game is essentially a modern platformer, but with 1980s graphics and 1990s structure.
155* {{Satan}}: The boss of "Thy Farts Consumed".
156* SchmuckBait: At one point in the "Dungeons & Dickholes" level, a beer bottle (which restores health) is placed in an area where spiked walls close in on you on both sides. The beer is close enough to the wall that it is [[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1989 impossible to reach in time]].
157-->'''Nerd:''' How the fuck was anyone supposed to get that beer down there?
158* SecretCharacter: Guitar Guy, Mike, and the Bullshit Man.
159* SecretPath:
160** Most of the cameos/upgrades can be found this way. This is also how you unlock Mike and the Bullshit Man.
161** Also, Mike can spot secret paths and destructible tiles.
162* SelfDeprecation: The Nerd criticizes the game at least a few times per level. Not to mention several [=ScrewAttack=] employees (including Stuttering Craig himself) [[TheCameo cameoing]] in "Thy Farts Consumed", having been sent to video game {{Hell}} for helping make the game itself.
163* SequelHook: After The Nerd defeats the final boss [[spoiler:you don't see him actually exploding and dying unlike any other boss he fought, Fred Fucks merely flies away out of The Nerd's sight while Game Land falls apart]].
164* ShakingTheRump: Done by some of the women in "Beat It and Eat It".
165* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/TheAngryVideoGameNerdAdventures See here.]]
166* SlippySlideyIceWorld:
167** "Blizzard of Balls". The Nerd sarcastically remarks, "They're really bringing out the originality, aren't they?", and later asks why the jets of flame don't melt the ice.
168** “Beat It and Eat It” as well, though it’s [[VulgarHumor not ice]] in that level…
169* SmartBomb: Super Mecha Death Christ serves as this.
170* SpikesOfDoom: "Assholevania" and "Happy Fun Candy Time" features spikes that periodically rise from the ground and retract back.
171* SpiritualSuccessor: This game is one to Freakzone's own ''VideoGame/ManosTheHandsOfFate''. They both have the same {{Retraux}} style, similar level design and choices, some assets (like a few sound effects) are reused from that one and there are even the same ''references'' scattered here and there (for example, Film/TheGiantClaw's cameo and the famous quote from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest'').
172* SpringsSpringsEverywhere: The spring-like gelatin clouds in "Happy Fun Candy Time" and actual tits in "Beat It and Eat It". The latter follow you as you go through the stage for perpetual bounce action.
173--> '''The Nerd''': Gah! The tits! They're following me around!
174* SuddenlyVoiced: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. The Nerd's voice is heard saying "Let's do this" upon the 3DS version of the game being highlighted in the 3DS menu screen, but his voice is only heard in the game proper when you enter a cheat code on the title screen.
175* TemporaryPlatform: The appearing and disappearing [[DeadlyWalls Death Blocks]], which kill the player. There are also standard ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' style disappearing and breakaway blocks, as well as block snakes similar to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''.
176* TemptingFate: Most of the 1-ups can be found near death blocks or other hazards. Feeling lucky?
177* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The first ladder in "Dungeons and Dickholes" contains a ludicrous death trap devised by the Nerd himself in his ''VideoGame/SuperPitfall'' review - lava, flaming sharks, upside-down volcanoes, and spiked walls that close in on you. ''And'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking two death blocks]].
178--> '''The (RealLife) Nerd:''' ''Now'' this is going too far!
179* {{Theremin}}: There's an 8-bit theremin-type sound in the "Boo! Haunted House" BGM.
180* TimeStandsStill: The Glitch Gremlin freezes enemies, obstacles and ''even bosses'' in place.
181* ToHellAndBack: ''Thy Farts Consumed''
182* ToiletHumour: By a truckload of truckloads, unsurprisingly.
183* {{Tomorrowland}}: "Future Fuckballs 2010", which is based on science fiction and other "futuristic" elements that have appeared on the Nerd's show.
184* TrappedInTVLand: The main plot.
185* TurnsRed: The boss of "Future Fuckballs 2010" starts moving significantly faster (and literally turns red) after killing all of her "children"
186--> "Now you will learn to die!!"
187* UltraSuperHappyCuteBabyFestFarmer3000:
188** "Happy Fun Candy Time". The Nerd says it best upon first entering the stage:
189---> "What... the... fuck... it's like a giant unicorn had severe diarrhea everywhere!"
190** Which is also a neat {{foreshadowing}} of the boss of that level.
191---> "I fucking knew it!!"
192* UndergroundMonkey: The InvincibleMinorMinion. Ghosts, fireballs, smiling faces, brown starfish, computer chips streaming rainbow flames, they all follow the same undulating or circular patterns.
193* UnexpectedShmupLevel: "Future Fuckballs 2010" ends with a section parodying ''VideoGame/SilverSurfer1990'', and "Dungeons and Dickholes" has a section where you ride on a baby dragon (with a fight against the Giant Claw).
194* UnwantedAssistance: The intro stage has Naggi the Patronizing Firefly accompanying the Nerd and offering him advice, but he wants none of it and tells her off instead.
195* VerbThis: During the fight against {{Satan}} in "Thy Farts Consumed", inspired by ''Film/EvilDead2'':
196--> '''Satan:''' I'll swallow your soul!\
197'''The Nerd:''' ''[after beating him]'' Swallow this, asshole!
198* VisualPun: One of the enemy types in "Thy Farts Consumed" are Cacodemons from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', except they're made out of shit. They're ''Caca''demons.
199* WingedUnicorn: The boss of "Happy Fun Candy Time", which poops out fun and happiness. In the "[=RemAssTurd=]" version, the boss is instead the Bloodstain Bears from the Nerd's review of the various ''Berenstain Bears'' games, with the winged unicorn's decapitated head impaled on a pike in the background.
200* WouldRatherSuffer: The Nerd's famous "I'd rather [do something disgusting] instead of playing this game" lines from the show are implemented into the GameOver screen, which has his character coming up with randomized complaints.

203[[folder:''The Angry Video Game Nerd in Tower of Torment'' tropes]]
204* CaptainErsatz: The Fucking Rabbit's sprite has him intensely roughed up and demonic-looking to avoid copyright infringement.
205* CarFu: A [[VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing Big Motherfucking Rig]] will sometimes drive over the entirety of the second stage. It gets faster later in the stage as it starts driving backwards.
206* DegradedBoss: The Giant Claw is now a mini-boss at the end of the first stage, guarding the entrance to Crappy Castle like a Bone Dragon from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}.''
207* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:After beating The Fucking Rabbit's OneWingedAngel form, a bomb shows up to send both of them to Hell. The gratuitousness of this gets a LampshadeHanging by it being called the "FKME Plot Bomb."]]
208* DungFu: [[spoiler:The Fucking Rabbit's second phase will have him periodically turn around and spout droppings from his ass, [[ShotInTheAss which also happens to be his weak point]]]].
209* FinishHim: Once you defeat the Fucking Rabbit's two forms, you are prompted to finish him off, in the style of ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. There are even special weapons you can pick to do this.
210* KillerRabbit: The Fucking Rabbit (based on WesternAnimation/BugsBunny), the final boss of ''Tower of Torment''.
211* OneWingedAngel: "MYEEEEH... You think a cartoon video game rabbit goes down that easily, fucko?" After taking out his relatively easy first form, he ends up filling the entire screen similar to the final boss of the second game, shooting fireballs out of his eyes.
212* PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:The Nerd successfully destroys The Fucking Rabbit, but literally goes to Hell to do so and is stuck there, as Satan helpfully informs him]].
213* TrueFinalBoss: The Fucking Rabbit is effectively this to the entire game.

Stop what you're doing right now and take a picture of this screen because nobody will believe you beat it on YOLO. Way to go you fucking nerd!!''
