[7th lutz]

10.) Wario
9.) Superman-due to his games
8.) Micheal Jackson's Moon Walker
7.) Dr. Robotnick
6.) Ruffians-viva Pinata
5.) The Burger King
4.) Bowser
3.)Pyscho Mantis
2.) Jack Thompson
1.) The Duck Hunt Dog

I think The Duck Hunt Dog is a bit to high and Tompson needs to be #1 for Douchbags. The dog belongs on the list though. Growing up my brother and I wanted to used the light gun to shoot that dog.

I think Superman should be left out. If Superman is mentioned, why isn't LJN then.

I do feel they left one, Larry Probst-former EA ceo. I am hoping they left out due to the fact he is nolonger the Ceo of EA. Under Larry, EA bought many companys and close those same companys doors like Orgin and treat its workers like crap along with the fact of having exclusive rights to some types of sports games like nascar games, and Nfl games to name a couple of sports games. Those games aren't as good as they once were due to Ea being lazy because of them having exclusive rights. I am big fan of Mutant League Football, but there was no excuse for what he did while he was ceo of EA.

Loved the Michael Jackson spot. And I dunno, the Duck Hunt Dog gives Thompson a run for his money.

[Snapple]

The Duck Hunt dog is a great choice. Can't argue with it.

[heybtbm]

I hate the eagles from Ninja Gaiden more than those 10 combined.

[Aswald]

How about the marketing morons who said video gaming was dead back in 1984?

Or the Tramiels?

[Sanriostar]

To this day I still wish Slick and Sam could feel actual, physical pain.
But Thompson and the DH dog are nice choices.

...but where's THE BAT?! the first Video game D-bag in history?

[DigitalSpace]

I watched this with a couple friends. We all disagreed with Wario being on the list. After it ended, I told them about how you could shoot the Duck Hunt dog in vs. Duck Hunt and Barker Bill's Trick Shooting.

Wario has got to be way ahead of Bowser. Bowser shouldn't even be on here. At least he was an original villain and not a parody of Mario's character. 15 or 16 years in, I still don't like Wario all that much.

I always thought Rodney was a douchebag in the various Skate or Die titles but that is just me. Otherwise, no real opinion on this list.

[Push Upstairs]

This list is invalid because Waluigi isn't listed as the single biggest VG douchebag ever.

[Three-P]

I admit, the fucking dog is annoying, but he should take a backseat to Jackass Thompson.

[CosmicMonkey]

And there was me expecting to see NeoGeo Freak USA (aka Messrs Dakis and Ray) at number 1....

[exit]

Medusa Heads from Castlevania, biggest group of bitches ever.

[XianXi]

And there was me expecting to see NeoGeo Freak USA (aka Messrs Dakis and Ray) at number 1....

Haha. That would have been the most accurate list if it was on there.

[punkoffgirl]

The Duck Hunt Dog should TOTALLY be number one. To this day, I'm surprised no one has ever programmed their own mod/version where you can shoot the dog instead.

There is a Flash/Java mod of the game that I saw at a few sites where you can shoot the dog.

I would say The Tramiels (both of them) and Larry Probst should be included in the list of video-game douchebags. And that Sega CEO who ended the Saturn way too early to make way for the Dreamcast.

[Rob2600]

What about Joe Lieberman?

[Frica89]

I don't think Wario, Psycho Mantis, or Bowser belong anywhere near that list.

I really like Wario, I think he's funny as hell.

I thought Psycho Mantis was, like, the most awesome boss character ever. "You seem to like Super Mario Sunshine, don't you?" lol

I actually feel bad for Bowser. The poor guy never has anything go his way. He's been trying to rape the same princess for over twenty years, and has never been successful (or has he? the Koopa Kids had to come from somewhere.....).


But the Dog wins, hands down. Fuck that laughing piece of shit. :bad-words:

[Neo Rasa]

Haha. That would have been the most accurate list if it was on there.

Dion "Puff Man" Dakis and the other Big Tymers? That's something I haven't heard in years.

I have to agree with the Duck Hunt dog being number one. Like a genetic memory, everyone in my age range wishes they could have shot that dog, whether they play/like video games or not.

He's one of my favorite characters ever, but I would totally have Kain from the Legacy of Kain games on here. Such an arrogant bastard.

[rbudrick]

Holy fuck...I was just about to say that! Why hasn't anyone done this?

[goemon]

This is a terrible list. They must be running out of ideas to be reduced to doing something like this.

[bangtango]

I'll throw out 10 of my own in no particular order........not saying this is an all-time list but I can think of 10 gaming douchebags in a heartbeat.

1. Duck King from Fatal Fury/King of Fighters: lame pants and a dumb taunt in Fatal Fury 1 which is something like "too fast for you, huh? I said too fast for you, huh?"

2. Rodney from Skate or Die (series)

3. Any of the robots from Mega Man 5 and 6 on the NES when Capcom started running out of ideas and got so desperate they "asked" fans to think of good robots.

4. Chad Hutchinson (Dallas Cowboys QB) of NFL 2K3: no matter how good you might be, he definitely plays down to his stats which are the lowest of any QB in the game, I picked him to lead the Cowboys through a season because I wanted a challenge without the cheap AI on higher difficulty levels, Chad heeded the call because he sucks and I can hardly win a game with him.

5. The dog from NES Duck Hunt

6. Jeff from Maniac Mansion: just because he is useless with Bernard already in the game

7. Duke from NES Bad Street Brawler

8. R.O.B.

9. Kin Korn Karn from NES Pro Wrestling: he sucks if you pick him

10. Ghost of Sewer Shark on Sega CD: I take great pleasure in knowing he is eaten by "tubesteak" after I inevitably crash into the walls

[Push Upstairs]

Mega Man 6 is the biggest offender.

Wind Man?
Plant Man?
Flame Man?
Blizzard Man?

Didn't we already fight guys like this 4-5 games ago?

[goemon]

Wind Man?

Blizzard Man?

Yeah, they're uncreative, but being uncreative is not the same as being a douchebag. (Although I always thought Flame Man was cool because he used oil rather than just flames.)

[bangtango]

Sure, they were called Air Man, Wood Man, Heat Man, Fire Man and Ice Man. I'll bet I even missed a couple of their previous identities. Not to mention idiotic names like Tomahawk Man, Yamato Man, Knight Man, etc. from later games. Yet people wonder why games like Mega Man X and other variations were necessary.

I'd have respected Capcom more if they just admitted they were out of ideas and ended the NES series with a Mega Man's greatest hits type of thing. Here is the scenario. Dr. Wily "rebuilds" 8-10 of his strongest robot masters, i.e. "cool" ones from some the earlier games, puts them in new stages and lets you face off against some old foes. Not in the form of ugly clones like we saw of the Mega Man 2 robots near the end of Mega Man 3 either. You know, where it looked like a ghost was possessing some random body. I always hated Rush, too. He allowed you to use powers similar to those that you could earn on your own in Mega Man 2 by wiping out the right robot.

Whew, I'm just glad I played Mega Man 2 before any other game in the series.

[OatBob]

That list seems spot on. I'ld disagree with Wario though. While he is right out greedy, I haven't seen him be much of a d*** to other game characters. I'ld like to see Toad there instead.

[Push Upstairs]

Yeah, they're uncreative, but being uncreative is not the same as being a douchebag.

I know Capcom isn't being a collective douchbag by recycling the same bosses and/or constantly churning out the same game...they are just doing what Capcom does best.


P.S. Skullman, Woodman wants his weapon back.

2.) Jack Thompson

As everyone seems to forget about Joe Lieberman

[Three-P]

I think I'll do my own top 10 douchebags list.

10-Uwe Boll for his butchering of videogame movies. He would have gotten a higher space on my list, but he has proven himself to be a bad-ass in the boxing ring. Kinda like lucky in cards, unlucky in love. (Or, in his case, great in the ring, lousy in the box office.)

9-Jim from Hydlide for his land-speed record for getting killed in a game. PlayItBogard demonstrated that it's not only possible, but it's pretty damn easy, to get offed in 2 seconds, a feat that can only be matched in Home Alone 2's SNES version.

8-The Fleamen from Castlevania for jumping around like their name suggests. These little fuckers can prove to be a pain in the ass if you're tired.

7-Quina Quen from Final Fantasy IX for reminding me too much of John Wayne Gacy. This Gene Simmons-tongued clown-thing speaks like a big lummox, loves eating frogs, and eats his (or her?) enemies to gain their abilities. That's kinda disturbing, when you think about it.

6-Superman for excellence in shitacular games. Of all the games the Last Son of Krypton starred in, only 2 or 3 are worthy of anyone's attention. HINT-The one for the N64 ain't one of them.

5-LJN for the relentless butchering of Marvel games. Only one game they made dodged that bullet, in my opinion, and that game was Maximum Carnage.

4-Jigglypuff from Pokemon for being an annoying little bastard. I'm not too big on Pokemon, but Jigglypuff's entering the Super Smash Bros. game was just a big kick to the ballsac. They should've entered Samurai Goroh from F-Zero, instead.

3-Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson for even considering making 50 Cent-Bulletproof a reality. That game was bad. How bad? Take being forcefed spinach while playing Turok-Evolution, and multiply that by 5, that's how bad that game was. If I were Fiddy, I would be wishing that those gunshots would have finished the job.

2-The fucking dog from Duck Hunt for mocking many gamers. So what if our aim was a little off? Think you can do better, Fido? (Throws the zapper into the screen.) Go for it, ya flea-bitten asshole.

1-Jack Thompson for trying to ban violent videogames. He's an uneducated asshole who likes to point the finger of blame at everyone but the parents. If I had the ability, I'd disbar his ass in all 50 states.

DISHONORABLE MENTIONS:
-Joe Lieberman for trying to ban violent videogames. At least he wasn't quite as big an asshole about it as Jack Thompson.
-Tobias Bruckner from Turok Evolution for representing all that is bad in videogame character design. Picture not included in this post. You're welcome.
-The Ashfords from Resident Evil-Code Veronica X for that damn irritating laugh. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of someone trying to make their tires squeal.
-Acclaim for not making a better game than Turok 2-Seeds of Evil. Yes, after that game, they went to shit.

[Cornelius]

I had to bring this back because I just started playing Katamari Damacy, and the King of the Cosmos is one of the biggest douchebags I've ever encountered. Easily top 5. He seriously needs a beat-down. Royal Rainbow!

[Bluteg]

What about Joe Lieberman?

If we are going that route why not Hillary Clinton?

[Rob2600]

1. Three-P, almost every video game movie has been horrible, not just the ones made by Uwe Boll. His mistake is that he continues to make new ones.

2. I'm not sure Acclaim belongs on this list, but its marketing department definitely does. For example:

To promote Burnout 2: Point of Impact, Acclaim offered to refund the fines of any driver caught by speed cameras on the day of the game's debut.

To promote Turok: Evolution, Acclaim offered $10,000 to people who would name their newborn babies "Turok." Acclaim also offered $500 to up to five adult gamers who would change their name to "Turok" for a year.

In another stunt to promote Turok: Evolution, 25-year-old Jason Read claimed he was planning on breaking the world record for the longest time standing in line, beginning on July 18, 2002, and ending six weeks later with the debut of the new Turok game. He was equipped with a tent, game console, TV, and portable generator, all supplied by Acclaim. Newspapers had covered the story and the next day, Jason Read was gone.

To promote Shadow Man: 2econd Coming, Acclaim offered to pay for the funerals of the recently deceased in return for the right to place small billboards advertising the new game on their headstones.

BMX XXX...come on.

3. Blackcrow, read the previous posts again. I suggested Joe Lieberman on June 4!
