ESRB FTW

[Platypuswar]

Fuck you esrb you and your incompetent rating system screwed an entire generation of gamers

[DHelyify]

@thebatman303 e is actually all ages, e10 shouldnt exist, T should be 7, m should be 8-13

[FaultlessGamer]

I hope the guy in video dies and then goes to rot in he'll fuck him and the Electric Software Retarded board and it should be RSMB( Retarded Soccer Moms Board)

[xenariz]

i played m for mature games long before i was 16 LOL that explains why i have such a fucked up mind :DD

[TheLiftoffExperement]

If your kid can't handle an M rated game, then it is your fault for babieing your children

[JerseyChileno]

If you're kool with people in your local Game Store the ESRB rating doesn't exisit! lol

[halo4019]

i play M RATED GAMES LIK CRAZY SO TAKE THAT ESRB

[rsyawei]

shut the fuck up, freaking adults, and fuck the esrb rating, i am 16, i play tons for m games.

[KHemelstrandTV]

The esrb was created by angry moms after mortal kombat was created, this wasnt mortal kombats fault, it was gods fault for making angry moms

[theBatman303]

I think that there should be e for 3 and older. t for 11+. and m for 15+

[RaidarStudios]

Everyone should have to right to choose what they want, but still I don't really think it's a good idea letting 7 year old kids playing porno adult games.

[MiniGoofyGoober]

FUCK THE ESRB! WE CAN ALL PLAY WHATEVER THE FUCK WE WANT!!! THE ESRB CAN KISS OUR ASSES!

[jma25able1]

@MiniGoofyGoober HELL YEAH.Im 13 and I play GTA and COD and Im still normal.Its not like GTA is giving kids guns and saying "Go shoot up your school."Sure there was the Virginia Tech massacre a few years ago but the the reason there blaming the media is because there to lazy to investigate.The ESRB was created by angry mothers after Mortal Combat was created.And the Esrb has way to much power.To see My ESRB rant go to My channel.

[Shadowmov3r]

Like the man said, ESRB ratings or for the parents, not for the man behind the counter to be a jerk and ask your age (stalker much?)

Like when I wanted to buy Bioshock 2, he didn't sell it to me for the fact that I'm "too young"

Seriously, I may be 16, but c'mon, that's not an excuse to be an asshole.

I may be physically 16, but people can be mentally a lot older. And look at how some of the 18 or older people behave! You call that mature?

Weed is even easier to get than games.

[PurpleStormsGaming]

the esrb wouldn't have been created or triggered if Mortal Kombat wasn't made and its fatalites

[actionkingx3000]

"SCREW THE RATING SYSTEM"

[sync380]

I love the fact that it's easier for me to buy marijuana than it is to buy video games. The mature rating should be for 16+ not 17+.

Just three more months and I'm free of this conservative bullshit censorship.

[someguyz12]

I just look at most of the comments below and think, "Wow, what a bunch of idiots."

Honestly. You people make out that the ESRB is a strict hardass organization with the intent of ruining gaming for everyone.

It's there so people can know what they're getting for their kids, or whoever. The adults can determine if it's appropriate for themselves.

It's mainly due to the stereotype that video games are a children's pastime. It's just a rating system, at least the gov. doesn't ban M games.

[GodOfSubliminal]

@someguyz12 I agree with you. ESRB isn't made to ruin people's lives. Basically, if you want to buy a game and can't it's the fault of your parents or the store's owner. You don't even have to bitch at the ESRB to rate your shit. Bunch of goddamned idiots.

[BlookinBoy]

Fuck ESRB ratings you all can suck satans fiery cock

[LEWA121]

GOD I HATE ESRB!!!

[PhunkGamer]

I HATE THE FUCKING CONGRESS!!!!! If you are 13 and you want to buy a M rated game, you have to show your ID or get your mommy. I mean, WE ARE NOT GONNA DO THIS FUCKIN STUFF LIKE RIP OFF SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF IN PUBLIC!!!!!!! SO BULLSHIT!!!!

[flipmaster5]

FUCK THIS!!! Becuase of ESRB, My mom wouldnt let me play Halo til I was13

[wereG4]

ersb ruined my gaming life

[tyeb29]

esrb was strictly designed to stop kids from having to much fun with videogames...i mean kids should have as much right to beat up a prostitute with a baseball bat as much as the next guy as long as they can tell the difference between reality and fake. ok mayby that didint make much sense, but u get my point.

[KevRetro]

HA!! 5/5, man HILARIOUS! I mean think about it who's gonna give a shit about this. Because parents will not stop buying violent games for their children, no matter what rating. That's why this is so funny.

I serously broke down in laughter.

[Lonewolve222]

I hate that damned ESRB. Thanks for showing us which games are kids can play.

OH, and thanks for helping countless games not get sold in my country... Oh, And that also shows my government is troubled too.

[ghfan234]

when i grow up i want pegi and esrb wipe out at the face of the earth i hate those idiots

[ghfan234]

esrb my ass

[HayaLaHaya]

Yeah, so what? We teens can't go to a damn store to buy a f***ing game with our own earned money because it has gore, and adults can play it as much as they want and they can get violent the same way teens do. WTF?

[ghfan234]

yeah i know its a pain in the ass

[737landing]

ESRB F**K U!!

[nicothexvi]

Im not 17 but i play M games. and my parents let me play mortal kombat when i was 3 (im not even exagerating)

I think the ESRB should be phased out because its existence is more offensive then the games it rates. when the ESRB rates a game its basically saying "this game is not good for your children" WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY? did they just say what was appropriate for YOUR kids? if i wanna let MY child play Killzone2 then i fucking will and thats my fucking business. you cant regulate morals...

[coomberta]

FUCK U ESRB I HOPE BUNGIE, ROCKSTAR, IGN, AND BETHESDA SUES UR ASSES U FUCKING CUNTS!!!

ESRB (entertainment software ruining bastards)

FUCK YOU IMA KILL YOU AL!!!!

[jugfhj]

i'm gonna come to you'r house and im gonna say bomb!!! and then youl blow up!!!!

[ronconr]

so wat guys dont blame them ok mark me as spam or block me but if u go outside and feel like ur mad ur gana kill somone take brake of this nonsense ya rite this sucks!!!!!

[Alex618mir]

LOL imagine a boy playing gta iv and his pop is watching him play,dont notice the game is violent,LOOK PAPA i KILL THE WHORE,DAD:HAHAHA THATS GREAT SON

[Shadow36oblivion]

Screw them all! Mature and adult games FTW!!

[seanzo94]

What the hell is wrong with ESRB? All the old COD games were rated T and then when the graphix get better, they become rated M? Whats wrong ESRB, to realistic for you? Games like Halo and Call of Duty should not be rated M. Can someone pleaze name on GOOD first person shooter that is not rate M. Two rules. 1- it has to not be ment for 3 year olds, and 2- it has to have been made within 18 months of 12-10-08, because something big must have happened at ESRB that we don't know about after then.

[monstarrZ]

Maybe because all recent first person shooters have realistic gameplay of "first person shooting".

The gore being more realistic has a lot to do with it because people demand more blood to make the game look realistic, and the more realistic aspects the harder it is for a child to distinguish that from real life.

Once we have a "Proper Parenting 101" that tells you not to raise your kid like a dumbass we will still have ESRB and parents that enable their children regardless.

[revenant3154]

go suck my dick esrb fuck you

[FELIPEPKPK]

esrb FUCK YOU

im 15 and i play unreal motherfuckers

and when i was 6 i started playing unreal quake and a lot of gory games and im not crazy

screw you esrb useless piece of shit

[m5a1stuart]

i cant wait until iam 17 years becuz my parents wont let me play games like cod 4 and halo 3 on xbox 360:(

[reaper06221986]

yah might wanna let your parents know that videogames are far less damaging than them filling you likes likt they are now, my dad let me play whatever, watched whatever and it never affected me at all, the idea that videogames will harm a childs mind is by far one of the most rediculous thing imaganible

[gamerz654]

In the fucking United Kingdom you can join the Army and shoot people 2 years before you can play a GTA IV

[FrantACs]

what do adults care?? my parrents are the finest! they say: nothing at all!!! but one thing in case: "Life is worse!". HEY ESRB!! THERE IS A PRODUCT WITCH HAS YET NOT BEEN RATED!! ITS CALLED: "LIFE"!! POOR KIDS CANNOT PLAY HALF LIFE, BECAUSE THE'RE GONNA KILL THEIR FAMILY... oh oh!! CRAP! JUST TALK! AGE DOES NOT MATTER. KIDS KNOW THINGS MUCH MORE OFTEN BETTER THAN ADULTS DO!

[LostHope777]

ESRB FTW? You're a fag, and fuck off, stupid adults. Mind your own fucking business.

[shinobitech13]

the most hillarious thing i find about it is, that you can have a drivers license and a job before you can buy an m game. lol

[REDSKULL180]

very good point made- if you have a license- cause as they say you have to be mature to drive- well wth? if you have license you should be able to buy r movies and m games. although you should be able to buy r movies at age 13

[shinobitech13]

im 15. i remember back in the n64 days you could buy any game and the store clerk at gamestop would sell it to you without any problem. now since every concered christian soccermom has complained, they have to put restrictions on games that other people

play, so that little johnys mind stays pure, atleast until he discovers the internet, or enters middleschool.

[Rageblood63]

Well I'm 13 and I think the rating system is too strict. I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality.

Even making a hamburger from scratch is more bloodier and gorier than playing Half-Life.

[spiritcrunch]

The only people that complain about the system are those WAY too young (12 year olds)

If your 15 or 16 its easy to get a M rated game and no one cares and thats ok you should be able too, I think your old enough.

BUT higher rating s keep annoying 12 year olds from getting on online who act like babies when they get shot.

[gamerz654]

I  am 16 and I THINK THIS IS PATHETIC.

[reaper06221986]

actually i think their are far more things in the world that can damage a childs mind and that are far worse than videogames, what about watching your parents die in front of you? what about being kidnapped and molested? what about some fucked up bully pushing them to far, and takes a shotgun to school to even the odds? the esrb are people appointed by a private party, not elected and they want to decide what games are harmful? excuse me, but a game never killed anyone...

[Tyha2]

I am twelve and jsut couple of momments ago I played Army of Two. But it doesnt ruin me. I have good grades. I am not violent. Ok I have a little swearing problem

[tayuyas1fan]

I want to move to Japan.A rated M game here is a 15+ game there.

[ovaheat64]

im 12 and these ratings are made my douchebags, they encorage me to download,pirate and stuff. ESRB rated Counter-strike M and COD4 M they both shuld be in T. They also base how mature you are on how many times christmas has happened since you were born.

Hey! I just headshot someone in counter-strike with a desert eagle, I think i'l do that in real life! - what ESRB is thinking what kids will do when they play games

[ovaheat64]

sorry I ment to say "made BY douchebags" LOL BIG MISTAKE

[Yourthemanman]

Oh and by the way FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK....FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, FUCK FUCK, and FUCK; FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! Thank you.

[Yourthemanman]

Brand Silven the people will get what they want!

[BrandSilven]

Wow, the ignorance in these comments is overwhelming. Knowing what you're getting doesn't mean you DON'T get what you want. Ratings are there not as a deterrant, but as information. The ratings have made games better, by ALLOWING M Rated games to be made instead of completely banning that type of content altogether.

[MuddleMeow]

This commercial is so cheap & silly.

[3SAUGAT]

I am 12 and i play game thats rated AO,M Games

like san andreas,Manhunt i download them most of times and burn it using nero and play it in my PC and sometimes PS2 cause i have mod chip in it.I dont give A DAM'N ABOUT ESRB

[Tyha2]

Where did you download GTA please tellm me??

[3SAUGAT]

just google "download rip Grand theft auto san andreas" you will find tons of link they are on win rar formate most of time and have password

[christophermckee]

Fuck ESRB and fuck Utah!

[FELIPEPKPK]

and poor kids!

[FELIPEPKPK]

FUCK THE RATING!!!! IM 15 YO AND I PLAY GAMES FOR 17 and 18 AND BELIVE THEY ARE MY FAVORITE GAMES DUKE NUKEM HALO UNREAL GMOD HL 2 ETC FUCK RATING FUCK esrb! FUCK!

[lineriderdude9999]

[Etern4lSlay3r]

ur a fuckin faggot felipperk

[PantsCarper2]

fuck esrb! fuck gay family games! fuck hilary clinton who came up with shit like this! fuck dylan klebold and eric harris and so yeungfuckshitcolumbine!

[akumacornflakes]

Hillary Clinton didn't propose the ESRB. If any politician could be attributed to it, it would be that ass hat Jack Thompson. While the ESRB is definitely better than nothing at all, it still has a lot of room for improvement.I mean, They actually went out of their way to make a new E10+ rating and Brawl STILL got a T. I thought for sure that would have resolved it once and for all.

[Warcrackforall]

"how do you choose which games are appropriate for your family?"

LOOK AT THE FUCKING BOX YOU GODDAMN MORON

AND READ THE FUCKING TITLE OF THE GAME

JESUS CHRIST IF ALL ELSE FAILS LOOK AT THE GOD DAMN PICTURES ON THE BACK.

if a game is called 'manhunt' its obviously not going to be rainbow-sunshiney-good-fun for the whole family. god damn ignorant fool

[XxMoFugger117xX]

When he says he relies on the ESRB rating system...right away you know something's wrong.

Halo 3 and CoD4 aren't even bad games. Im glad my parents aren't "conversative pussies" (thank you thelordxanatos for that accurate term).

And houli has a good point. Where is a good store that lets anybody buy M rated games? I have to know. WIsh I had a friend in college, they could help me out...

[KIFulgore]

The ESRB is funded by the ESA (Entertainment Software Association). That means it's funded by Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc. The ESRB exists both to give parents information on the games, and also to prevent the government from making their own mandatory (and more strict) rating system. So before you say "**** the ESRB," realize it exists for the benefit and protection of the industry.

[legandarymasterrevan]

in a way, i agree wth u! but ESRB is not the 1's we should blame for this people, responsible adults (assholes), soccer parents, and mostly those f***ing teachers are the 1's who are taking away our rights to enjoy life! they have interfered with our natural rights and they know it!

[SpraxIAKS]

Fuck family games. ESRB can kiss my ass too. "It works for my family." I play shooting games in my room, don't need no family. Get the fuck off the internet....:D, (Just joking)

[PantsCarper2]

HELL YEAH

[bonkswa]

FUCK RATING SYSTEMS FUCK YOU ALL im 11 and i'm not dying of manhunt and resident evil it doesn't make sick or something so i hope them rating fags will fall and get a knife in there peehole

[thelordxanatos]

ESRG, MPAA, and any other fucking

censors can kiss my ass!!

[kakarot453]

y the hell they have to make call of duty 4 rated mature??!! i was w8in for it to come out since i had 1, 2, and 3..but ESRB rated COD 4 mature....

[PantsCarper2]

Fuck esrb and those over protective fags!

[houli107]

I fucking hate the ESRB!!! i tried to buy an M rated game today in which the faggot clerk would not let me purchase.. im 3 months away from being 17, yet denied the right to buy a video game. the ESRB is made up of a bunch of liberal pussys that should all die. if im old enough to drive a fucking car i sure as hell think id be old enough to play a video game..

[thelordxanatos]

you mean conservative pussies?

[XxMoFugger117xX]

Yeah...M rated should go down to 16+. THat way a drivers license is both "I can drive" and "I can buy M rated games, despite the gay ESRB".

[xDMrPeaches]

@XxMoFugger117xX that is so fucking true hahahaha

[hailTHEfail]

im 13 and i have a paypal. Just go on paypal and get games less hassle. thatn going through gamestop.

[ComeradePepper]

ESRB and FCC is a fascist movement they decide what we watch what we play and what we need and don't need to see. I am so sick of these nazi pigs filtering my games and my movies.

[typer39]

the problem isn't the ESRB jarhead, the problem is the ongoing misconception that video games are for kids. the stereotype was set back when they first emerged and has stuck around ever since. for this reason, parents and politicians alike do not understand that violent game developers have a target audience of adults.

[Jarheadboi]

I know the main root of the problem are the stores who won't sell AO games which is bullshit,if they sold AO games and quit acting like fags manhunt2 could have came out like it was suppose to.

[bonkswa]

yes manhunt is art you can't hide it from the world

[Jarheadboi]

And this is so fake what is this family stuck in a time pardox?Who the fuck sits around like one big tree huging family and plays family games,yeah wake up and welcome to reality dipshits,I turely at this point have had it with esrb after manhunt 2,that game was a work of art fucked up by these pussy fags,down with esrb I'm thinking about starting a pention to give video game makers like rockstar more equal rights to overthrow rulings from the pussy fucks known as esrb!

[apeonfire99]

Yeah I agree, like who in this world gathers around the tv with an entire family to play family games?

100% agreed. Esrb shouldn't be able to use filteration and censorship+controlling the games we play, it's completely fucked up these days with the ESRB. And I hate people like Hillary Clinton and Joe Lieberman shove the ESRB down our pancreas!

[bonkswa]

i've played manhunt 1 with my mother and sister and they liked it and we didn't get sick the next morning so i think it's alright

[Jarheadboi]

I'd like to say fuck the esrb they are a contribute to comunism fuck the esrb and their bullshit rating rules.and fuck this butt pirate sorry excuse for a man panty waste fucker in this video,down with esrb and censorship!

[Kingdom56]

OK nOOb in Commercial hey Gamecube has only 3 T rated games 1 M rated game so theres 150 E games so theres no reason to warn the family about rated games of Gamecube

[IntellectualMidget]

lmao, they were playing Gamecube, a system that has like... 1 ''M'' game? oh well, fucking censorship, when will it end?

[Mouseleener]

HORROR GAMES AO

[NickHunter808]

i hope this guy fucking dies! PICE OF shit!!

[thenubinator]

whatever.....I'll take my M rated horror games over that crap any day.....

[WiiCobra]

That I wish I could shoot jack tohmson

[thenubinator]

*gags*

[rsgrcg]

was that sonic mega collection? fuck the old man!!

[slayer867]

Fuck You Old Man!

[PhilRagsdale]

wanna know what I say mark shurrleft FUCK you you screwed up my childhood with your half ass ratings esrb is extremely fucked up system that operated by druggies and strict parents

[M4Revolver]

screw the ESRB system. They dont kno how to rate games properly

[canadianxboxgamer]

yah i saw a game that got an m rating and it did not even have blood in it

[jconstas]

lol esrb are very inaccurate some games are m for what violince.... or mild language so you gotta be over 17 to play a game that says crap..

[Jatc93]

OMG I'm intend to spoof this. It's awesomely crap xD

[magicidiot12345]

Yay! They have gamecubes! Gamecubes were the best 6th gen system in my opinion!

[Jatc93]

BS. X-Box anally owns it.

[phazoncandy]

Only if you liked FPSs. X_X

[Jatc93]

What a coincidence!

(And it has the best RPGs evur too, KotOR)

[phazoncandy]

I don't like RPGs. But it is a WRPG (Western-made RPG), so maybe it is good. I'm a pretty big action/adventure, platformer, niche (Pikmin, Battalion Wars, etc) fan so Nintendo is right up my ally.

[ninjaseven]

bah the ESRB cant be trusted...

[IWillEatYourKittens]

ninjaseven

"bah the ESRB cant be trusted... "

TRUE! I got doom 3 and it didnt say anything about it having adult language XD

[NecroEX]

Oh, FUCK the ESRB. Fascist little bastards...

[Majorpwnage]

I think that Jack Thompson should watch this

[Daniel55679]

I saw Sonic Mega Collection.

[xsvmaster]

I worked at rockstar games for 14 years (they transfered me to their Edinbug location 2 daays before the kick ass bully game came out) and i have met with many ESRB officers, their hardasses, pure and simple.

[feh2]

As said..SPOOF THIS. XD

[userxx]

lol, someone please spoof this.

[koobas567]

Omfg, that guy is such a faggot.

[dhelor]

What I want to know is this: what was the game the kids in that vid were palming? Can't quite make it out, but it's obviously Gamecube.

[Raz1r]

Pwnage! Common Sense FTW!

[tk409]

Finally someone in government speaking with common sense. I'm so tired of the scare tactics by politicians who think the internet is a "series of tubes." And from a conservative Mormon Republican! Common Sense FTW.

[largefilipino]

Man Hunt is my favorite game. Killing people is fun.

[feh2]

Why yes it is...:3

[TonoTako]

then later they are crying because they sons are wanting to get guns and shoot

nice vid.

make concience!

[Wolfman9999]

Utah Attorney General Mark Shutleff is right should be prestident because they banned video games is wrong they should look ESRB on box.

[madcartoonist09]

It's not cheesy! Stupid parents have been ignoring these ESRB commercials far too long.

[03fb]

way too cheesy,its like those film age ratings on videos(in the uk)

im laughing so much

[nucknards]

We need more people like him in politics. We're not asking for revolutionary geniouses or anything, just people with common freaking sense!

[ChibiFighter]

Agreed I am not asking for a total video game nut just not a compleat tard like Jack Thompson.

[Nectarine369]

This guy is great. He's got /my/ support.

[matrixfusion]

A smart video by a smart guy. This is what we need in America. Not scare tactics or endless litigation, or vague "ban violent games" laws that villainize anyone who plays a game. Mr. Shurtleff is setting an excellent example with this commercial, and I wish others in the industry and in the government would follow his lead.

[MechaTama31]

I met this guy a couple months ago when a committee of the Utah state legislature first discussed the games-as-porn bill they recently gave the green light to. He told them, in no uncertain terms, that there was virtually no chance of it surviving a first amendment challenge. He recommended that the state try to promote awareness of the ESRB ratings instead. They clearly did not get his message, so he's taking it up himself. How... un-politician-like.
