"He's Gonna Take You Back to the Past
February 29, 2008 — 03:34 AM PST — by Pete G. Nurspart —

Moving from YouTube to TV is common these days: Lisa Nova, Brookers and Barats and Bereta are among those that have won deals with broadcasters.

James Rolfe, also known as “The Angry Video Game Nerd” is another Tuber making the move: he’s been hired by MTV to make an as-yet-unnamed half-hour late night TV show. The pilot episode has a $300,000 budget, and Rolfe is starring and directing, along with theme creator Justin Kyle. But a cocky quote from Rolfe in the NYTimes today tells us why these deals might not work out - “I think the most annoying thing was having the producers on set telling you what they thought. If their opinions were that high and they are that good at comedy, they’d have their own show.” Whoa!

That’s the issue here: YouTube producers don’t work for the man. Just as entrepreneurs frequently leave the companies that acquire them, the free spirits at YouTube won’t handle being bossed around. Switching to TV is about getting more money, status and greater distribution, but YouTube’s reach is increasing daily, and YouTube users are about to get paid. I maintain that in 12 to 18 months, we’ll see TV stars switching to YouTube, not the other way around.

His TV show will be focused on video game culture of the past, present and future, and will be premiering this Fall."

If this is true however, thanks a lot you *sophisticated young'ns for giving this shitty actor the fame and recognition he didn't deserve.

As quoted from a SA member: "how can anyone laugh at his bland unoriginal videos, this is diarrhea dogshit, this is diarrhea coming out of my dick, this is like diarrhea put a shit on my diarrhea puke etc"

Edit: As quoted in the comments below: "Dude, I'm not going to lie. I am jealous beyond belief. I don't even think I need to explain why."

Man, it's going to be so awesome in the next, oh, 5 or 6 years when the whole "YouTube celebrity" fad dies out.

I would be too, and no you don't need to explain. I'm sure you'll get there eventually, and Im positive this is a fake. He would have said something anyways.. you know he always does.

I think his videos are great but he sure as hell doesn't deserve a TV show, on MTV no less.

I'm the one nice enough to take time to write up an article, isn't that respect in the least?

I feel smarter already. I fully agree with what Clockwork says too, his videos are excellent internet material since most of the stuff is just fodder anyways, but I couldn't see myself watching half an hour of AVGN, even if he was fucking Scarlett Johanson on the TV.

I can't even see myself turning the television to MTV either.

Why must gamers always feel the need to have a negative opinion on something that they've yet to experience?

Why even dignify that unrelated question with a thought out response.

You don't have to see TV stars switching to youtube. Many comedians are already doing shit on superdeluxe. And bad as most of the shit on SD is, there is still some great stuff, like Zak Galinkasdjfjka;is interviewing the kid from Superbad.

You're gonna go to the record store,
You're gonna give'em all your money,
Radio plays what they want you to hear,
They tell me it's cool, but i just don't believe it
Sell out, with me oh yea,
Sell out with me tonight,
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be alright

This should be an HBO deal with a sydication spin off deal with either/both G4 and Spike. MTV will ruin this, like it does all other good things.

@ King

I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
'Cause the man said "that's the way it is"
And the man said "it don't get better than this" no no no
So I signed on to the record company,
They say they're gonna give me lot's of money
If i play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool, and I sure believe it...

That song is awesome.
