Ninja Gaiden OUTTAKES - Angry Video Game Nerd - Cinemassacre.com

Overview

A string of Ninja Gaiden outtakes shows the Nerd stumbling through improvised jokes and repeated takes. He tries delivering mock-wise “ancient wisdom,” which quickly turns absurd: a moon made of cheese, a net big enough to catch it, and the suggestive advice, “Perceive the victory in your head and you will receive head.” Another solemn-sounding setup veers into a gag about using proper protection.

The Q-tip bit becomes a goofy exchange of insults and failed instructions. The Nerd is told to catch a dropped Q-tip with his thumb, then gets called slow and waxy. Other flubs include references to Daniel’s son and Michelangelo, along with a deliberately gross roadkill-and-mashed-potato line.

Running Gag

The cast repeatedly tries—and fails—to say “Ninja Gaiden” correctly, mangling it into “Ninja Gayen” and other variations. They riff on the mispronunciation, sing “Happy Birthday” to “Ninja Gayen,” and crack up between takes.
