James Rolfe / James D. Rolfe / Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) / Rex Viper and Cinemassacre / Screenwave - Now with not much grieving about a 41-year old man still making videos on YouTube. We're the balls on the dick.

I'm iffy on James being a career cow, in the end he is like a person you knew who had a ton on potential but ended up being a McDonald's branch manager - You can't say he is a failure but it is clear he decided to underachieve and it's just a waste.

James biggest mistakes were the film and Screenwave. The former has at the very least soured him on the character and dreams of future in cinema, the latter further decreased his quality by encouraging his worst traits and almost certainly limiting jokes for "the algorithm".

I can't see any sense in James putting the character behind him, he probably still makes good money and has a family to support. His content is bad but definitely not morally reprehensible like other cows.

Also I have no ideas why people expect him to pay Kieran. Screenwave hired the guy and I doubt James would want to associate with him beyond what's necessary for work.

I always kind of thought the late 80s/early 90s three stooges boom was just a figment of my imagination or a product of being soroundrd by old people at the time. Im kinda glad it didn't just happen in my mind.

Anything that was made solely for the early-to-mid 20th century was for nostalgia sake, which is even more common nowadays. That said, Three Stooges has comedy that ages like fine wine. Without the Stooges, there is no soul, and there is no way you could actually bring it back with the actual Stooges being long dead.

Besides being mildly autistic and having long-since stale content, is there a post explaining why exactly this guy is considered a lolcow?

In January, James released an autobiography where he talks about still pissing his pants well into grade school, considering every little video he has made as a film, waiting outside a computer lab for hours without checking to see that it was closed that day, and talking about himself as if he was Alfred Hitchcock where he was told to do some menial task at work and thought that his boss had no idea that he was a film maker. There's more but that's what I can remember from the top of my head

Every time this thread gets upgraded to *cow status we have this exact debate with the exact same arguments. I wish we could have a final decision on this, one way or the other.

I don't fully consider him one, The fat fucks surrounding him and Mike? Definitely. There are some hilarious moments with Bimmy though.

-The school retard incidents detailed in the autobiography
-Considering every time he records something to be apart of his filmography
-Making an emotional farewell video to his car after getting in a crash
-His old blog where he bitched constantly about working in a liquor store after spending 4 years on a film degree
-Insisting on filming in LA and wasting all of the Indiegogo funds on a shithole city that nickels and dimes small time film makers
- The AVGN movie ending up being terrible and missing the point of the entire show
-The entirety of Rex Viper

He just doesn't react enough to be considered a cow. It's extremely rare when he does and recently he only has when puppeteered by the slobs.

I vote that James is a cow. He's just very fortunately tardwrangled, and too incompetent with modern technology to have shown us the full cow inside. Most cows become obvious they're cows by way of spilling their spaghetti during livestreams and overreacting to viewer questions, while James never interacts with fans outside of in-person conventions. He doesn't talk about his personal life much on social media, and his social media presence is entirely Mike and/or Screenwave, anyway.

Despite always being a degree of separation from the internet, he's still managed to ascend to cow status by way of his autobiography, which showed the world what a clueless, narcissistic dope he's always been. If livestreaming had been around in 2000, and he weren't so technologically incompetent, he might be living a much different life. Imagine Mike struggling to wrangle James, after James gets addicted to Twitch streaming and ends up getting led on by some ween who convinced James he's the real Stephen Spielberg.

James is 100% a lolcow. He's just hard to milk because he has a degree of separation from the internet. He ticks all the boxes. He filmed a bunch of his college friends wrecking their dorm, and then was shocked when the school administration didn't applaud him for being a gonzo filmmaker, but kicked him out instead. Then he gets rich and famous because he's the luckiest tard in Pennsylvania, and proceeds to whine about it in his autobiography 20 years later. He also runs up down-escalators because he's morbidly terrified of elevators. And he honestly thought he was talking to Stephen Spielberg on AOL. This guy could have been cinemassacred by weens if he had been interacting with fans on his own.

I like the time when he tried to commit suicide by going to the beach and laying facedown in the water as the tide came in.

James is what happens when a lolcow is raised correctly, surrounded by decent people, and doesn't become terminally addicted to the internet. You have to wonder how many weird autists like him out there could've actually contibuted something to society besides being funny to laugh at if they had that benefit. His autobiography vs the typical lolcow here makes for an interesting case study.

I don't consider James a cow. I think he's more of a donkey. Sure he's done some jackass things in the past, but he keeps his private life private and doesn't rock the boat. Not gonna be getting any milk.

I think it's just a given that a lolcow thread is all-encompassing. It includes everyone and everything within that stratosphere.

Brother there was a whole movie about it if it makes you feel better.

The Three Stooges is one of those pop culture things that for some reason won't ever go away. It doesn't matter if you've never seen an episode, you know who they are.

I'm gonna keep it 100, I might be retarded. This whole time I thought guys were talking about Iggy and the Stooges, and was genuinely "what the FUCK are you guys talking about? "

He's in that same box as Ulillillia for me where he's such an oddball that I can't look away.

I don't consider James a cow

Agreed. James Rolfe has enough sense to keep his private life largely private. But his content has noticeably declined in quality, and it's kind of an interesting story as to why

Absolutely not. I couldn't even make it through the book.
