Today's freshest video: The Top Ten Douchebags of Gaming

by Kevin Kelly { May 30th 2007 at 3:33AM }

ScrewAttack presents the top ten douchebags of gaming in this video, and no one escapes their wrath, from Wario to Superman, to the King from Sneak King. They call out general douchbaggery wherever they see it.

You just knew Jack Thompson would make this list, right? However, the number one douchebag isn't anyone you would suspect at all. Watch the video and see if you agree. Someone evade the list? Let us know who they should have included.

lol, i always humped the girls in the michael jackson game.

UltimateQ @ May 30th 2007 3:54AM

Well that was fun!

Hobo Joe @ May 30th 2007 3:58AM

I would've said Link from Zelda for number one. Yeah, he saves the world or whatever, but he walks into people's houses unannounced, breaks their stuff, takes their money, and never speaks when spoken to.

Alistair loveless @ May 30th 2007 4:00AM

yawn.... i always hated error from zelda 2 he fille me with a terrible rage

hey what ever happen to pge after page of comments sayin blah blah blah this news is so old..

also i really hated that grim reaper old hag syndrome thing from kid icarus... that STUPID MUSIC!!!

freelancer @ May 30th 2007 4:14AM

While i agree with the duck hunt dog how the hell does Tom Nook not make this list?

canher @ May 30th 2007 4:14AM

no kefka from ffvi?

Savok @ May 30th 2007 4:24AM

Agreed on Tom Nook, he should take Supes place, as technically, the man is a dick, not a douche

Replace Mantis with Kojima and you have a real list.

Author X @ May 30th 2007 4:34AM

I totally second their #1 choice.

Trey @ May 30th 2007 4:46AM

Freakin' Falco! "Gee, I've been saved by Fox. How swell."

ManekiNeko @ May 30th 2007 4:46AM

Hello? Tingle!? He's the greedy little extortionist who was without question the single worst flaw in the otherwise excellent Zelda: Wind Waker. How he avoided inclusion on this list is anyone's guess.

lol Great suggestions.

Falco, Tingle, and Nook are definitely big douchebags.

... What's with Nintendo and creating douchebag characters? :O

I'd have to put up Dr. Wily, too. Not only would the old man try the same plan too many times (8 main games, two arcade games, first four GB games, etc.), but he tries to pin his crimes on others a couple of times (framing Protoman in MM5, and forcing Dr. Cossack to take the blame in MM4 by kidnapping his daughter Kalinka).
Then, there's the fact his own creations have turned against him (Bass and Treble).
Oh, and he gives Zero a ponytail and booblights. Forever embarassing his youngest "son" as being a girl, and spawning lots of X/Zero H doujin.
(Actually, I don't know if doujin of that exists, but I wouldn't be surprised... And I'd be happier not knowing it's true)

Oh, man... That dog. That frickin' dog. The kind of rage I sense from seeing his face and hearing his laugh.

What a douchebag.

Dr. A @ May 30th 2007 5:25AM

Mario...Yes, i said it!

At first he was cool in a quirky way but now after seeing him in countless video game iterations, he's now major douche to me.

embassy @ May 30th 2007 5:28AM

haha.

FALCO.

" worry about your OWN hide FOX!"

i was just playin that on the ol 64 the other night.

wat a effin d-bag.

embassy @ May 30th 2007 5:30AM

also, how did kuturagi NOT make this list?

i mean he damn near demanded that gamers work more hours to afford a PS3.

thats the ultimate level of douchedom

mo @ May 30th 2007 5:35AM

if only some one could assassinate jack thompson without proving his point...

ssuk @ May 30th 2007 5:44AM

They should have stuck with games which have survived the test of time, like they did with most of them, MGS was pushing it, Viva Pinata... No. But I agree with a lot of the list, why Tails from Sonic didn't make that list I'll never know. He's pointless to the core.

Tom @ May 30th 2007 6:09AM

I think the #1 douchebag is anyone and everyone you play against on XBL. In fact, I'm gonna go be a douchebag right now by ONLY using my chainsaw in Gears; over and over and over again until I get kicked by the host!

h0mi @ May 30th 2007 6:12AM

Whoever was responsible for the $600 ps3 (kutagari) or Wa-Luigi warrants being on this list.

DoggySpew @ May 31st 2007 5:25AM

Jack Thompson should've been number one. Because he is a real douchebag, not a virtual one.

Slaziman @ May 30th 2007 7:10AM

That dog... THAT FKING DOG!!

Kye @ May 30th 2007 7:17AM

Navi from OoT should have been high on that list.

I never realised that the dog from duck hunt was laughing at you.

JT should be saved from death by a gamer. That'll teach him.

x876543 @ May 30th 2007 8:08AM

Navi from OoT was a total bitch.

Tinkle was total douche demanding so much money.

Tom Nook, douchebag even if he needed to make a living.

Biggest douchebag to me was Captain Falcon from F-ZeroGX, I always want to kick him in the nutz when I win a Prix with him.

Evan @ May 30th 2007 8:22AM

I agree with Tom, the biggest douchebag is you, the gamers.

Adam @ May 30th 2007 8:29AM

hahaha awesome list

32_Footsteps @ May 30th 2007 8:33AM

You know, I can't help but think this might have more impact if someone taught these guys how to spell "douchebag."

If we're going to throw real people into the mix, we might also want to put up Satoshi Tajiri, for insisting that at least one Pokemon can't be caught no matter what in every game - not everyone has the time to go to an event just to see Mew, ya know.

Zant @ May 30th 2007 8:53AM

man, these guys are fuckin idiots

Zant @ May 30th 2007 8:55AM

the guys making this video are douchebags

Tim @ May 30th 2007 9:19AM

I hate to sound cliché, but these guys are the real douchebags. They can't even spell the goddamn word, and their list contains too many "I don't know why"s and obscure TV show clips. Seriously, they decide to bag on Warioware games? The Wii version got an 83 on metacritic, these douches just wanted to be biased pricks about it.

Poisoned Al @ May 30th 2007 9:27AM

To all those the have played the Medieval Total War games, I don't have to mention the damn pope. No wonder Henry the 8th split from that fucker!

And I wouldn't have picked Dr Robotnik. Knuckles was a bigger tosser by far!

Walking Contradiction @ May 30th 2007 9:33AM

Tim

Warioware sucked ass. It lacked substance.

Shaun c. @ May 30th 2007 9:34AM

eric sparrow, I JUMPED THE HELICOPTOR

Chris @ May 30th 2007 9:35AM

Top ten douchebags of gaming by Craig and TJ, how ironic.

Joseph Villalobos @ May 30th 2007 9:47AM

Wow, this is a really good video! Kudos ScrewAttack! Kudos!!

AirIntake @ May 30th 2007 10:02AM

I agree with Dr. A's opinion that Mario should be on the list. As soon as N gave him that squeaky stereotypical voice, and started sticking him everywhere, he officially became a douchebag.

Stubbs @ May 30th 2007 10:39AM

I thought it was pretty funny that they had a picture of a danish tv celebrity in that video.... But I'm missing Ashley from Resident Evil 4, and the guy that suped the american voice recordings for Final Fantasy 12....? Thompson should have been higher though...

maximlife @ May 30th 2007 10:51AM

Great link for gamers. Extremely funny. Please pass along.

Taleran @ May 30th 2007 12:09PM

they're clearing missing the Final Boss from Bushido Blade who brought a gun to a sword fighting game.

Rare Hare @ May 30th 2007 12:38PM

But they DID spell "douchebag" correctly. I went back and checked! I have it paused on the word right now.

Also, if you don't like this list, make your own. And make it half as entertaining. I personally think it's pretty spot on. If you wanna go bitching about something that doesn't affect you in any way, the I guess that makes you the douchebag.

Matt Z @ May 30th 2007 1:08PM

Well there was only really one good Superman game and that was "The Death and Return of Superman" everything else... ugh...

BTW Michael Jackson was in 2 other video games that weren't on the list. Ready 2 Rumble Round 2, and Space Channel 5 2.

Raikage @ May 30th 2007 1:35PM

What?! No Carth from KOTOR?! I hated that guy's guts!

*FORCE CHOKE*
Carth: "Hey maybe you shouldn't do that, he hasn't done anything wrong."

Me: "Hey maybe I should kick you in the face!"

Fatass of Kickassness @ May 30th 2007 1:39PM

Can someone tell me the list? I'm at work so that stuff is blocked.

knulpm @ May 30th 2007 2:45PM

10) Wario (Mario series and Wariorware)
9) Superman (Superman 64 and every other horrible game he was in)
8) Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson's Moonwalker)
7) Dr. Robotnik/Eggman (Sonic series)
6) The Ruffians (Viva Pinata)
5) Burger King (Cheapo Burger King games)
4) Bowser (Mario series)
3) Psycho Mantis (MGS)
2) Jack Thompson (Fantasy Land)
1) The Dog (Duck Hunt)

I have to add a couple characters to the list, because I don't think RPG's were represented.

A) Someone mentioned Kefka, although he gets off on being kinda cool.
B) Kain from Final Fantasy IV, for double crossing you 50 BILLION times.
C) And the almightiest douche of all time

POKEY FROM EARTHBOUND.

If you've played the game...enough said.

Madikai @ May 30th 2007 2:51PM

Hmmmm... I think they could have left JT off of the list. There have been people going nuts before him, they just have been quiet while he makes a fool of himself. It feels like going through a "Worst monsters in D&D" and having Pat Pulling show up just before the Tarrasque.

bobman2007 @ May 30th 2007 2:55PM

They forgot to mention Professor Kawashima from Brain Age on the Nintendo DS. Even though the game is a hit, his annoying face makes me want to shake a nursery full of babies.

John H. @ May 30th 2007 4:48PM

Every time I've watched a Screw Attack.com video that wasn't the Angry Something Something Nerd, I've hated it. They have this announcer who sounds like an obnoxious morning radio show host, and they edit in sound effects that make the illusion even more exact.

The Nerd is pretty good, but those lists, in no uncertain terms, SUCK.

Rootbeer @ May 30th 2007 6:07PM

Thank you, knulpm, for posting the damn list.

I refuse to spend whole minutes of my life video-watching in order to receive information that I could scan in seconds if provided as plain text.
