Top 10 Franchises That Should Die (2012)

Nick Cramer: Narrator

Quotes 

• Stuttering Craig : Call of Duty is the textbook definition of garbage. Look it up in the dictionary, and it's right there! Trollolololololl!

  Nervous Nick : Every year, it's the same Michael Bay 'splosions and campers and cheap YouTubers! In fact, every new game that comes out is more like DLC for the previous game than an actual sequel! Lololololol!

  Stuttering Craig : Stop milkin' the franchise, Activision, you money-grubbing, soulless corporation! Trollolololololl!... Stop. That's the type of crap we've been saying for years now, and I gotta be honest: It's getting really, really old.

  Nervous Nick : I'm kind of indifferent to the COD series, and the only reason I want to see it die is so the internet can finally shut up about it!

  Stuttering Craig : SHUT. UP! It's successful and it's popular, therefore it's the cool thing to hate. And trollolololololl!

• Stuttering Craig : Is "Angry Birds" REALLY a good game?

  Nervous Nick : [hesitantly]  ... Yes?

  Stuttering Craig : Okay, better question. Is "Angry Birds" SO good that it deserve four separate apps that are just more or less the same thing, a whole line of plush merchandise in every vendor that can carry 'em, a feature film, an animated show, and a freakin' theme park attraction?

  Nervous Nick : Ye-No...

  Stuttering Craig : You're damn right it's not! You're throwin' birds at pigs with a slingshot, people! And for the love of God, holy crap, Rovio, this is NOT the next Mario!

• Stuttering Craig : [discussing the Madden series]  It's kinda like when WWE bought WCW and pro wrestling took a big hit afterwards, because WWE didn't have anyone forcing them to be creative.

  Nervous Nick : Found a way to squeeze some pro wrestling in the top ten, eh?

  Stuttering Craig : Yep.

  Nervous Nick : You proud of yourself?

  Stuttering Craig : Yep.

  Nervous Nick : [later, when discussing the Halo series]  And supposed "Halo 4" turns out to be awesome and dominates our expectations. It's still like "Weekend at Bernie's".

  Stuttering Craig : What?

  Nervous Nick : Yeah, everybody's having a good time, but the life of the party isn't quite what he used to be. It's not the same.

  Stuttering Craig : Found a way to get a "Weekend at Bernie's" reference in the top ten, huh, Nick?

  Nervous Nick : Yep.

  Stuttering Craig : You proud?

  Nervous Nick : Yep.
