The Angry Video Game Nerd Theme Song
AVGN Theme Song
[Guitar Guy]
He's gonna take you back to the past
To play the shitty games that suck ass
He'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear
He'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard
He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd
He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd
He's the Angry Video Game Nerd
There exists an acoustic verion of this exist, in which the words "the shitty games that suck ass" is replaced with "some shitty games that suck ass".

[Guitar Guy]
He's gonna take you back to the past
To play the shitty games that suck ass
He'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear
He'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard
He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd
He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd
He's the Angry Video Game Nerd
When you turn on your TV, make sure it's tuned to channel 3!
He's got a nerdy shirt, and a pocket pouch
Although I've never seen him write anything down
He's got a power glove, and a filthy mouth
Armed with his zapper, he will tear these games down!
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard
He's the Angry Nintendo Nerd
He's the Angry Atari Sega Nerd
He's the Angry Video Game Nerd
He plays the worst games of all time
Horrible abominations of mankind!
They make him so mad he can spit
Or say "Cowabunga? Cowa-fuckin'-piece'a dog shit!"
They rip you off and don't care one bit
But this Nerd? He doesn't forget it
Why can't a turtle swim? Why can't I land a plane?
They got a quick buck for this shitload of fuck
The characters names are wrong. Why's the password so long?
Why don't the weapons do anything?
He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard
These games suck so bad, he makes up his own words
He's the angriest most pissed off gaming nerd
He's the Angry... Atari, Amiga, CDI, ColecoVision, Intellivision, Sega, Neo Geo, TurboGrafx-16, Odyssey, 3DO, Commodore, Nintendo Nerd
He's The Angry Video Game Nerd
AVGN Christmas Theme
Angry Video Game Nerd Christmas Theme
This is a parody of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. It's sometimes played at the beginning of AVGN episodes that are released around Christmas.
[Guitar Guy]
He's playing some games, the worst he recalls
He's gonna find out which ones suck the most balls
The Angry Video Game Nerd is here
Oh, he's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna go home and eat chicken and rice
The Angry Video Game Nerd is here
He hates the games that stink
He knows which games to break
He just might even hate them all
'Cause he's mad for fuckin' sake
You'd better watch out, don't give these games a try
You better not play 'em, he's telling you why
The Angry Video Game Nerd is here
The Angry Video Game Critic Theme Song
This song was a parody of the AVGN Theme Song, used in the Nostalgia Critic's video game review.
[Guitar Guy]
He's gonna take you back to the past
And pull these reviews out of his ass
He'd rather have a crocodile pin him down and suck on his cock
He'd rather eat some rotten dog shit, then drown it down with Rolling Rock
He's the world's biggest and greatest cynic
He's the Angry Video Game Critic

Trivia
- The melody of the chorus in the original theme song may have been inspired by "FM Piano Test" from the video game Quartet.
- Both lines "He'd rather have a buffalo take a diarrhea dump in his ear" and "He'd rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer" in the Theme Song are referencing phrases the Nerd says in the Back to the Future episode at the 0:45, and 0:28 mark.
