Shambling in like an Irish drunk, it’s a new I Rate the 80’s video! It’s a short one too so this post will probably be a quick read.
What’s he going to talk about this time? A fast food mascot. We’ve got food!
Specifically, Uncle O’Grimacey, the short-lived green Grimace used to promote McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes, a green mint-flavored shake only sold around St. Patrick’s Day. Meaning, it’s a holiday episode everyone. Joyous…
Also, if there’s a chance of him doing a terrible Irish accent, I apologize in advance to all my Irish readers. If you exist.
0:01 - 0:20: The intro plays as usual, when suddenly the “80’s” becomes “70’s”, the background goes green, and Irish music begins playing. The fuck? Didn’t see that coming! Unless I read the description before watching this. Still, this is new.
Yes, Uncle O’Grimacey was created in 1977, which is strange that he’d “change it up” since the TMNT cereal was released in 1990, and the Bud Bowl may have started in 1989 but most of the campaigns took place during the 90’s. Seems a tad inconsistent.
Also, IG has an Uncle O’Grimacey shirt.
0:20 - 0:59: We cut to an old McDonald’s commercial (don’t be too excited, I imagine the modern stock footage will be back next time) as IG gives a history lesson. Nothing too horrid so far…
He brings up one commercial for the shakes had the Grimace drinking so many that he turned green. Then we cut to IG’s TV with the commercial footage imposed on it, complete with the time code on the bottom of it. Now that just looks awkward. You couldn’t have just edited it to you watching the commercial?
In fact, that’s exactly what the next shot is. Then a badly animated Grimace with an MS Paint face floats in, KNOCKS IG HEADFIRST into the table and steals his Shamrock Shake. Jeez, that’s a bit violent. Did the Grimace scare you as a kid or something? You put him in your Resident Evil 5 video as a bad jump scare, and here you make him a violent asshole that uses mob techniques to get his milkshakes. It’s not even funny either.
Oh and IG somehow finds a shamrock on his floor. Even though they’re plants, and they grow outside. Is his floor made of grass now?
0:59 - 1:50: “Then in 1974” That’s the wrong year. I said it earlier but he was created in 1977, a few years off. Maybe that’s why Bores changed it to “I Rate the 70’s” for this episode, because he thinks it’s earlier than it really is.
He shows various commercials with the green blob monster, then points out that “if this voice sounds familiar” and refers to a cartoon with some yellow thing in a cowboy hat. Okay, who is this? What is this character’s name? What’s the voice actor’s name? What’s this about? Explain it Chris! If you’re trying to be “educational” and make a comparative reference, it helps that you provide some names. You can’t just show this thing and expect everyone to get it, especially when it looks like it’s from the 70’s, and most of your fans were born after 1999.
You can make all the shitty Family Guy jokes you want Chris, but when you go “If this is familiar, then it’s because of this” and show a character you expect us to know without explaining it, then you fail as a reviewer! How have you been doing this for nearly six years and YOU STILL DON’T GET IT!
If someone shows a movie/TV/game clip as a response to what they’re talking about (like as a snaky comment or running gag) then that’s different.
Of course, this prompts another “character walks in joke” with that yellow thing walking in on IG and he flicks him away. Of course……..
1:51 - 2:15: IG mentions various Uncle O’Grimacey merch and lists some of it off, then he gets interrupted by Lucky the Lucky Charms Leprechaun adding his jingle to it. You mean the same Lucky Charms you claim has been ruined? This is the second main video in a row where you referenced Lucky Charms, are you trying to tell us something?
He reaches the end and note how O’Grimacey was phased out along with other McDonaldland characters, but that’s a story for another episode. I imagine it will be out the same time as that Kinnikuman Nisei episode you promised, or that Simpsons NES games review, or that Castlevania review, or that Deadly Towers review. Boy he has a lot of empty promises.
We get to his rating. He barely remembers O’Grimacey but since McDonaldland is nostalgic, it gets an “Overload”. Oh look, the same logic he applied to the TMNT cereal. “It wasn’t very good, but TMNT is awesome”. What’s odd is that he says O’Grimacey was phased out by the 80’s, and if he believes his 1974 claim, then Bores would have been… one when he disappeared.
The video ends with IG telling everyone to “Shamrock it up” and he drinks from his shake and turns green.
That was… bothersome.
When it wasn’t boring, it was wrong or vague, two of the worst things you can do as a reviewer. I’d say he slapped this together just to get something out before Sunday, but there was three bits of animated characters and knowing how lazy he is, this was probably weeks in the making. Then again, he had Shamrock Shakes in the video. Feh, I don’t know or care anymore.
This really should have been about the entirety of McDonaldland. It might have had more substance to it. Oh who am I kidding? It would have been just as bad.
At least he didn't attempt a bad Irish accent on-screen.

A New DVD for Nobody To Buy, Now With More 80s Stupidity
The end of 2012 is quickly approaching. It’s been an interesting year for Bores, his attempts at trying to get better have fallen flat in many different ways, and he continues to show that he’s a massive hypocrite that will do anything for attention. Some people are starting to believe he’s not taking himself seriously now, but I really doubt it, especially when he’s given us one final “gift” for the year.
The I Rate the 80s DVD! Wanted by two people, you can now enjoy his terrible “documentary” attempts on your TV! See him fail at economics as he wonders why Yummy Mummy and “gimmicky” Kool-Aid flavors were pulled off shelves. Marvel at him eating 20 year old cereal and dressing up like Skeletor. Watch as he wrestles a toy Japanese wrestler and try to pass off that he has multiple Colorforms sets when he really only has one.
According to him, the DVD contains the 11 episodes of “Season 1” (for someone who’s all about American TV, he really loves his British brevity), a 10 minute documentary (where I imagine he once again pretends he’s being interviewed and try to claim that what he does is harder than it really is), bloopers, an extended scene (just one scene, singular) and more. It can be yours for $13.99. What’s that? You’d rather take that $14 dollars and invest in a failing company? I won’t stop you.
His news post about the DVD has this bit, “your in luck”. You’re 34 years old Chris, and you still can’t tell the difference between “your” and “you’re”? Jeez…
That’s not all, Bores posted a new video about it. A three and a half minute excerpt of the DVD documentary.
Since it’s not the full “documentary“, I’ll just give the big details.
As you might expect, Bores is pretending he’s being interviewed.
He mentions The Breakfast Rant, and believes the idea didn’t work as he pigeonholed himself into only reviewing breakfast. That and it was a fucking stupid idea and its only contribution was the hilarious line “breakfast is ruined!” He also says “breakfast” really weird.
He does bring up the name’s comparison to VH1’s I Love the 80s, but says his is different because it has humor and it’s a documentary. I Love the 80s had humor too, the people talking about the 80s were comedians, actors, musicians, and they were all making jokes about the subjects.
He also brings up the year-long hiatus, apparently it took him that long to think of “actually rating stuff” and “interacting with the items”. The latter he’s already been doing on his other show, so how it took him that long… fuck it.
Then he brings up that like Family Guy, he’s purposely putting in references very few people will get. Doesn’t help when most of your audience consists of little kids! Then again, the average Family Guy viewer probably wouldn’t get even the most obvious of references.
That’s the end of the preview.
Considering that nobody has uploaded the three IG seasons online to other sites, I don’t see this getting uploaded anywhere. I hope someone does do this though (not BitTorrent as NOBODY will seed it).
I also see that the IG 5th anniversary sale is still going on. He said before that once an item is gone, it’s gone. Seeing as everything can still be added to the cart, nobody is biting. I still believe this sale is him trying to get rid of it, along with all the contests.
On the front page, under “latest reviews”, he claims the latest Neo review was on Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse. That’s false advertising as it’s not a review, it’s an interview about it. Those are entirely different things. Unless he plans to review it, then there’s no reason to put it there.
Oh yeah, and he did another Skylanders video. Even made a damn playlist of it on YouTube. Expect more of these boring videos then.
On the bright side, his Hunger Games video with the fake thumbnail isn’t getting a massive amount of views. In fact, it has less than the Colorforms video and Lego Batman 2 video (all posted around the same time).
Unless he uploads something else of importance, the next post will be the Worst Moments list.

TMNT Comics, Now With 60% Recycled Material
Wow, November already? I’ll be right back.
……………………
Phew, I‘m okay now. Hm, IG has a new video up. An actual video, not another damn Skylanders unboxing where he gushes over how awesome they are. It’s a new I Rate the 80s, this time covering TMNT Comics. Wait, didn’t he already do this?
Back in 2008, he did a short video about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, a series published by Archie Comics. It was immensely boring, and according to YouTube user “morbidchid” was full of inaccurate information (see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KekCA0DwLCU)
Of course, it could be one of the other TMNT comics from that time period. I shall see.
0:06 - 0:52: We get our intro with the cluttered desk, then IG holds out a trade paperback of the Mirage Comics TMNT. Okay, so he’ll be looking at the original. I sense much suckage emanating from this.
We cut to the not-80s stock footage, then we see… ooooh not again. Bores dressed as TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. You’re not America’s Most Wanted, you don’t have to reenact “history”.
He explains how they were doing humorous drawings and eventually lead into the TMNT, knowing they were onto something great. Not exactly, they published the first TMNT comic as a PARODY of different comic books of the time. Specifically, Frank Miller’s Ronin and run on Daredevil, Dave Sims’ Cerebus and the New Mutants. They didn’t exactly have any “big plans”.
He goes over how the initial printing had only 3,000 copies, then it cuts to him in a green-screen warehouse going over how the printing numbers got bigger and bigger. As he mentions each number, he picks up a bigger box. On the 50,000 box, the Hamburgler appears out of nowhere and steals it.
*sighs* Chris, do you know why you’re not getting job offers, why you’re not getting people coming to you to distribute your stupid ghost hunting movie? Because you claim this is a “documentary” and then they see stupid shit like the Hamburgler out of nowhere. They won’t take you seriously.
Also, why the Hamburgler? The Turtles didn’t eat McDonalds, they ate pizza. Your reference fails!
0:53 - 1:07: IG says the TMNT were a hit, then we get a sketch of Kid Bores walking up to a news stand (also run by Bores in a hat and fake mustache) asking where the Turtles comics are. The mustached Bores tells him they’re sold out but they have Jughead, only for Kid Bores to leave. Why does Kid Bores suddenly have a New York accent? By the way, kids were not the target audience for the original TMNT comics. They were ultra-violent and not really suitable for youngsters. It only became kid-friendly when Playmates approached Eastman & Laird about a toy deal.
1:08 - 1:26: He mentions they’re in black and white, the Turtles fighting evil, and then brings up Issue #5 and that it “gets weird” with the Turtles going into space. Then… a bizarre sketch with a ship (I presume taken from the comic) flying past… what the fuck are those things? Could an 80s expert tell me what those are? I can’t exactly go by looks to find them on search engines. Seriously, what is this joke/reference?
1:27 - 2:10: “Despite these setbacks…” What setbacks? They did something you found weird? This is a series about anthropomorphic Turtles that study ninjitsu under an anthropomorphic rat, it’s already weird as hell.
IG moves to the comic becoming a franchise (while making a lame turtle soup segue) and we get more Kid Bores (oh joy)… wetting himself over the toyline, cartoon, and video game. Charming.
He mentions how the Turtles bandana changed from all red to different colored ones for kids to tell each other apart, bringing up the NES cover using an image from the comic with their all red bandanas. Then we cut to Kid Bores complaining about it (psst, I don’t think most kids cared) then… complaining about the water level. I’m sorry, I think we’re in the wrong show now.
Oh and the footage shows Bores not even trying to avoid the electrical seaweed, just like last time. You’re supposed to stay in the center! After he dies, Kid Bores throws the controller and makes a face, and then Referee Mario from Punch-Out appears and says TKO. WHY IS THIS SUDDENLY ONE OF HIS VIDEO GAME REVIEWS? It feels just as nonsensical and baffling.
2:11 - 2:53: IG moves onto the Archie Comics TMNT Adventures. Which he already talked about back in 2008. Also, aren’t you forgetting Mirage Studios Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? An anthology book that served as a companion piece, telling smaller stories with other characters?
He starts talking about Adventures and… okay now this feels like he’s just recycling his original video. I swear he’s saying the exact same things. Considering Bores has clamed he’s forgotten games he’s reviewed in the past, I wouldn’t be surprised if he forgot about his first video.
“Who could forget the iconic issue 11?” Oh, was that the one where Shredder stabs April through the stomach and she crawled over to the Turtles lair where she dies in Leo’s arms? … I’m probably thinking of the wrong comic.
No it’s the cover they used for promotional ads. That’s… a really weird detail to know and care about. Also, I wouldn’t come close to considering that iconic. Amazing Fantasy #15 it is not.
2:54 - 3:38 He repeats more stuff he mentioned in his first video, and says it was great to be a Turtles fan in 1989, then shows footage from the second movie and says being a Turtles fan in the 90s was not as great. Strange you say that since the first TMNT movie came out in 1990, and the best Turtles game ever made (Turtles in Time) came out in 1991.
No, this segue was an excuse to show some of Vanilla Ice’s Ninja Rap so he can facepalm to it. Come on, it’s awesomely cheesy. Norselaw’s Viking Rap though, good lord that’s terrible (look it up).
IG says that by issue #25, the series went downhill as Shedder was missing (oh big whoop, how dare they use other villains), the stories were shorter, and Raphael had a love interest in an anthropomorphic fox (Ninjara is her name according to the TMNT Wiki) then IG wonders about the two of them doing it and says “eww”. I’ve been around the internet enough to guess that pictures of that exist.
3:39 - 4:16: IG claims that afterwards, the TMNT comics would never be the same, pushing a small pile of them off his table. Do I detect rose-tinted goggles? Also, the Mirage Comics continuity was still going. During the late 90s it was published by Image Comics, and went back to Mirage until the rights were sold to Viacom. Unless this was a 90s-style dork age, then I’m still calling “nostalgia fitler” on that comment.
He brings up the all new IDW Publishing series and starts gushing about it. I’m bored, can we end this?
IG moves onto the rating. I bet I know where this is head…
He brings up he wasn’t a fan of the Mirage Studios comics because it got too weird so he gives it Nostalgia Medicore. … Okay I didn’t expect that. Still, he has no god damn clue what he’s talking about. I get the feeling he didn’t get past the Triceraton and Fugitoid story arc because all mentions of the original Mirage series stop after that. Too bad since there’s some really good stories that follow. Basically, you’re a lazy idiot Bores.
However, he gives Adventures a Nostalgia Overload. Yeah, I gathered from the video you already made about it. You’re not a TV show, you can’t apply the fleeting demographic rule to your videos!
The videos ends with… oh for fuck’s sakes. Jughead appears and asks about his comic, IG calls it garbage, Jughead gets mad and calls Moose to beat him up. Wait, are we finally going to see IG get his ass kicked? Of course not, we just get IG saying “How do I get myself into these situations?” Because you write your show like a rejected Family Guy episode. I actually expected the “wa-wa-wa” horns to go off after he said that line.
Yeah, this was terrible. Barely talking about the original comics, recycling material from his first TMNT comics video, more annoying Kid Bores, and references that make little sense. Along with some of the usual research failure (seriously, TMNT being a parody of other comics is a fairly basic fact among fans, something that any self-respecting Turtle fan would bring up).
The question is, is this just as poorly-researched as Phelous’ Turtles Forever review? You make the call.
