Idiot #5 - Angry German Kid

Finest Moment - Getting so worked up he actually pants. Yes, like a dog.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the next Adolf Hitler. Okay, that's mean, but if this deranged adolescent is for real, the world needs to seriously consider chipping in on a psychologist.

The most disturbing part? During the majority of this movie, he's not even playing the game. His breathtaking fury - every wailing scream and every maniacal laugh - is inspired by simply waiting to play the game. We'll take your donations now.

Above: "Start the game, you son of a bitch! I wanna plaaaaaaaaay!"


Idiot #6 - PS3 Fanboy

Finest Moment - Gettin' allda honeyz wit'da PSTriple.

Don't hate on Chadwardenn. Chadwardenn speaks the truth. In fact, we'll let Chadwardenn's truth speak for itself.

"You know what I'm tryin' to say? I'm tryin' to say is that... come on now. Wii? Come on."

"I ain't tryin' to play my games with no dil-do. Maybe if the game is like WarioWare: Shove Up Your Own Ass Game."

"You know what the Wii should copy? They should copy how to get good games."

"To say that Final Fantasy was on Nintendo before Sony? Have you played the PS1? The PS1 got Final Fantasy VII! Nintendo tryin' to copy that s**t."

"Xbox got Halo. Tryin' to talk about Halo 3. They best rename that s**t to Gaylo 3."

"S**t. F**k Gears of War. More like Tears of War."

"We got this fat bitch tryin' to say the PS3 costs a lot. What kind of poor ass bitch cardboard box is he living out of, baby? $600 ain't s**t to Chadwardenn."

"What I'm tryin' to say is that Sony is the bomb. It's true s**t. It's that true s**t."

Above: "Aight?"


Idiot #7 - Chocolate Milk Fan

Finest Moment - Adorably abbreviating curse words so as to hold on to some shred of his fragile innocence.

This one actually stars two morons - the sailor-mouthed kid AND his woefully inept mother. Sure, it's heartbreaking that she's being cussed out by her own son, but who do you think's to blame? His fellow gamers may be responsible for the foul language, but they have nothing to do with the alarming lack of discipline. Take away the damn Xbox, woman! Geez.

Above: "You said you'd get me a drink and you LIED!"


Idiot #8 - Game Boy Hurler

Finest Moment - Hurling a Game Boy.

What's left to say? This clip is pure gaming idiocy boiled down into one bite-sized moment. It's got profanity. It's got rude gestures. It's got a temper tantrum. It's got the destruction of expensive electronics. It's got a kid saying and doing things he should never say or do and it's got a parent who should know better than to upload such things to the internet. And it's all less than 20 seconds.

Above: "F**k off!"

Disclaimer: Yes, we realize that any of the priceless performances we just featured could have been staged. Who cares? If they are fake, then they were created in order to parody extremely common real-life behavior. Watch and learn regardless... or you could be the next one they choose to ridicule.
