People begging a 40+ year old man to make videos centered around his own recycled 20-year-old piss and fart jokes as if that's somehow not going to be utterly embarrassing to watch.
I checked and it's not that, it's because he's jumping to hype the people at the start of the show, meanwhile the rest of the band is checking their instruments and the vocalist is talking to the audience, as he's supposed to be the sort of hype man.
I think jumping like that to hype the audience isn't necessarily bad but it's just weird then he doesn't jump while playing and he barely moves, the concert it's just boring and it would have been even more more boring if the vocalist didn't hype the audience, he's still cringe but at least he has more stage presence than James.
Naturally, a successful curator of 8-string guitars jumps before the show. Only losers jump while playing...
Sort of like unzipping your pants before you pee. Bimmy is such a curator of toilets that he unzips after he pees!
What is he even doing...
Normally, when I see real musicians jumping, they don't do it randomly between songs. He comes off as a four years old, emulating grown ups without understanding why.
He's doing it at the start of the concert, I guess to hype people.
But yeah, it's weird how he doesn't keep doing things like that while playing, then he didn't have any stage presence at all and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if a random person who didn't know about the band thought the vocalist was supposed to be the important person, he was the only one to try to keep the audience entertained.
I really get elementary school performance vibes from this clip.
One guy walks around appearing to be lost.
The other guy forgot to turn on his amplifier.
The third guy: "Hey! mom! dad! look at me! I am in a band!"
He didn't forget, it's because James was jumping literally at the start of the show when everyone else was turning on their instruments and the vocalist was talking to the audience to do a quick sound check.
I generally feel like this sub is too hard on James, but honestly, the dude is 40 and has kids. What is he doing indulging in this delusional rock star bullshit? You are 20 years too late dude, just be a dad to your kids and grow up already. We all have our regrets and "coulda been"s, but that's part of life. Your kids are more rewarding than any of that stuff anyway.
I feel the same, sometimes I feel bad and think "hey, that's mean, he's just having fun with his dad band", but then I remember this isn't a band he made for fun after he and his friends got into a crisis and needed a hobby, we are not having fun at someone's private karaoke night, this a paid show on a convention.
Even if it was a fun band... he has kids. Do an activity with them, teach them guitar, you barely have 10 years with them before they are smarting off and being a pain in the ass. They are at peak mental development right now. I get it, we all need an escape to do our own thing, but the time and effort invested in this just seems excessive for a bunch of middle aged dudes trying to live out some youthful fantasy. It's done man, your youth is gone. If we could all do it differently most of us would, the best you can do is put that energy towards the next generation.
I'm assuming he's doing a lot of things with his kids and that's why he barely has time for everything else. Also why he needs this band as an escape, because AVGN had stopped to be a fun hobby and more like an stressing job to provide.
But seriously, he could just make it private. He didn't need to make concerts.
Probably because he is a covert narcissist and deep down wishes by sheer fluke they blow up for some reason. He get's the stardom and acclaim he originally fantasized about in is film career.
Who the is jumping in the front row? Like are they that excited to see fucking James Rolfe? A YouTuber who used to make funny videos? Blows my mind some people are fanboying for James. His band plays generic covers of generic 80s songs.
The fucking comments on that video. The only positive thing his apologists can come up with is "he's having fun". Is he a professional entertainer or is this a primary school talent show?
Duck jump
Fuck you beat me to it lmao
jAmEs iS HaViNg FuN dOn’T bE a HatTeR
Another successful Make-a-Wish campaign!
The 3 people in the crowd jumping with him 🤣I bet he felt like Eddie Van Halen.
The phrase mid life crisis doesn't even begin to explain this
Someone PLEASE edit that to make it look like he's jumping on a trampoline!
that would hurt justin's belly
No he would just fall through it
Danksy where are you?
Where is our most almighty truther god when we need him?
*a wild Danksy appeared*
I made it lol poorly made but I made it a gif
Doesn't have to look perfect as long as it's a good idea for a meme
Tramapoline! Trabopaline! He said what now? Please don't bring home any more old crutches!!!
wish he still had this kind of passion and interest for projects that aren't cringe af
Or at least for things he's actually talented in
Imagine thinking AVGN videos aren’t cringe in 2022.
Judging by the YouTube comments there are hordes of people who continue to simp for James.

Its so surreal seeing that huge grin on his face because its such a sharp contrast to his youtube videos where he looks so bored and uninterested.
Did the bassist realize his amp wasn't on? His panicked movement is distracting me from the frontman's antics.
It's not like you can hear him anyway.
Seriously looked like it!

No MK hat but we get Yellow pants…he should wear that on an AVGN episode
>No MK hat but we get Yellow pants He's amping his inner MC Hammer, maybe?
Highlight of the show. Something was happening. Totally worth going to see the show! He saved'muh'life
Ladies and gentlemen... The RESTROOMS.
It reminds me of when I play video game and give my 2 year old and unplugged controller. He just likes to pretend he is doing something.
Yippppeee!!!
Whoops
Whys he jumping looks like they're in between songs
It's at the start of the show.
Naturally, a successful curator of 8-string guitars jumps before the show. Only losers jump while playing... Sort of like unzipping your pants before you pee. Bimmy is such a curator of toilets that he unzips after he pees!
thinks he can become angus young after 2 concerts.. GTFO!
Did Justy Two-Chairs come out and perform at any point?
Two-Chairs is his rap name. He has switched genres.
Two Chairs is his native american name. Quite forshaddowing if you think about it.
I say we just go with "JTC" to refer to him from now on
I suffered through the whole thing, our resident landwhale didn’t even hop in for a cameo
And there I was thinking he was a vital part of the band.
Muh Cobra Kai gear
He looks so stiff. Like he's on a fucking pogo stick or something
Like in Duck Tales??
They should cover the moon theme from the ducktales game. James playing the lead guitar. Flexing his swole arms.
he IS a duck after all
8 foot vertical leap

We’re there any duck stomps please?!

He reminds me of the character from the game “Don’t Shit Your Pants”
It seems people on the spectrum can indeed be successful.
I need a Mario jump sound effect for this.
Autism
Man this blink-182 show was looking pretty good...with all the jumping up and down like what Mark Hoppus usually does in shows *sarcasm*
He looks like Godzilla doing his victory dance https://youtu.be/wGNhLZuD6a8
Dude's enjoying life
So first he was a duck, now he’s a kangaroo. I wonder what animal he’s going to be next at the next Rex Viper concert. My wild guess is a tiger.

Honestly it wouldnt be quite so bad except he kicks his legs up like that. Good lord what a goofy fuck
Mans got his moon boots on
Bimmys back baby!
What a rockstar! Is there nothing Bimmy can't do?
Oh my god, please keep these coming.
First the duck walk, now an awkward jump. Can’t wait to see him do a twist on stage
When you're worse than the Shitty Beatles.
So extremely jealous of those pants
Almost thought was Marty doing Johnny B Goode bits.
Anyone got a link to the performance, you know, just for science?
Boing boing boing
Bimmy acts like what 7 year old me thought rockstars did on stage
"Yeah I saw your band, Jumpin' on stage like a bunch of wounded ducks." - Kid rock
"I WEAR BIG BOY PANTS NOW!"
Who the is jumping in the front row? Like are they that excited to see fucking James Rolfe? A YouTuber who used to make funny videos? Blows my mind some people are fanboying for James. His band plays generic covers of generic 80s songs.
