Howard Phillips - King of Nintendo

[TheLonelyWolf1000]

:20

Really? REALLY? You had to go there?

[zacharymop]

Good source material but tbh this was probably one of the weaker retsupuraes. Lots of sorta forced jokes and the molestation stuff got pretty old.

[evrbody]

It's Howdy Doody time.

[JEREMYisAWESOME]

He reminds me of NAVGTR

[bunnipoop]

the doctor exists

[SirRoland64]

I want to see this guy go against Billy Mitchel, World Video Game Champion.

[EdmacZ]

King Howard had an illustrious "reign" at Nintendo.

Then Sonic the Hedgehog came along and put an end to this bullshit.

[bust2007]

Geeetttttt awwwway from meeee lol

[LewisLongshanks]

Bobby Kotick - Before Craptivision.

[AnAlbinoGoldfish]

H.P Lovecraft's real name is Howard Phillips. Coincidence? Yes.

[uiruu]

@AnAlbinoGoldfish This may be my favorite youtube comment.

[AtrociousToast]

420 LOL.

[Urmean15]

Move over, Miyamoto. 

[MrGuyPwnsYou]

So was Kevin from Captain N based off of this guy?

[MistaRoburtz]

I'd bow, but i'm too embarrassed.

[popsszz]

Wow, BillyMC's doing well for himself.

[ZLFaurora]

I'm going to go back in time. Show everyone this clip, and watch SEGA become the most powerful industry in the world.

[Reyson129]

The bowtie... it is... glorious...

[WilliamLongfellow]

OH HOWARD

[ibioron]

I lost it at "Get me bowtie-san."

[attackthem5]

Howard Phillips, the newest Doctor

[cheetah465]

navigatr: A CHALLANGER APPROACHES!

[Liam40000]

You guys can take the piss out of alot of things, but not bow ties. NEVER bow ties. Bow Ties are cool.

[TheSilverfish2]

Bowties are cool.

[EasterGhost]

I AM GAME MASTER FOR NINTENDO

He sounds like a fucking demon orc guard.

[joiles01]

Howard and Nester, anyone?

[gaminggoddess85]

@joiles01 Yes :>

[feh2]

@gaminggoddess85

":>" "Goddess"

Leave.

[gaminggoddess85]

@feh2 Fuck you :>

[feh2]

@gaminggoddess85

No, Fuck you.

[gaminggoddess85]

@feh2 U mad bro? :>

[RoyStorey]

@NostalgicSince2005 He appeared a lot in older issues of Nintendo Power. People who read the older issues would probably recognize his style easily, hence the whole "trademark appearance" or whatever.

[TheGangstagnome]

Hey, now, you guys, don't knock the bow tie. Bow ties are cool.

[Demock]

sooo, he's a glorified tester?

[FSinWCR]

@Demock He was a bit more than that. He was a company spokesman, one of the first editors for Nintendo Power (You know, back when that magazine was actually cool and useful), and one of 3 head honchos for Nintendo when it came to game development.

While i made the whole Dummy crack, and he does deserve some riffing, he does still deserve some respect for the early days of Nintendo's popularity, and having some hand in the boom of the console at the time.

[Demock]

@FSinWCR ah, i suppose it's just the way this story makes him look. Kinda reminds me of Tom Hanks character in "BIG"

[Wintd1]

He sorta looks like Bobby Kotick.

That's not a good thing.

[Doperwtje81]

Howard Phillips Is the original 11th Doctor.

[a1b2m13]

Captain Phillips: The Game Master

[MalamiteLtd]

Э•Є

[MalamiteLtd]

Howard Phillips is a highly influential figure in video game history.

As dedication to his service, video games even today often refer to the life energy of the characters as "H.P."

But he is more modest about his position than he lets on in this interview. Rejecting the rights to place his name in a game-themed cartoon about the official Game Master, animation studio DiC had to resort to a more vague title for their creation: "Captain N."

We salute you, Howard Phillips.

[Argroh]

@MalamiteLtd Basicly, one of Nintendo's Playtesters.

[zonQe]

1:30 then what about Action 52, Jaws, Friday the 13th, Little Red Hood, Dick Tracy, Back to the Future, TMNT and so on?

[Paikerchu13]

@zonQe

None of those were made by Nintendo. Plus, Little Red Hood is Unlicensed.

[TomoAlien]

0:48 the HUD is all screwed up, did anyone notice that?

[FeenecksChompski]

2:46 Jizz in my pants.

[OOXW]

The most professional looking manchild.

[EternalGuardian07]

I wonder where this guy is now.

[LuwiigiMaster]

@EternalGuardian07 I think he's currently working for Microsoft. I know, ironic.

[Infernisle]

AY. bowties are cool.

[ImmaKai1]

@NostalgicSince2005 you shouldn't trust shit like Wikipedia. XD a fan of Retsupurae probably wrote that article. ^^

[ripamoram]

Is it me or does Howard look like somebody who has never actually touched a video game other than the ones shown in this video?

[icecubatron]

oh my god. he's tom hanks in "big"

[AnGeLaXl521]

Howard phillips a compulsive liar.

He's no more than a mere spokesman for nintendo. :/

[PsychicBluthSnake]

Wow he looks like David Cameron.

[FinalGamerJames]

@PsychicBluthSnake Shit he does!  If Cameron was fatter and more trustworthy.

[DudemanofAwesome]

I think boredom is a plot for world domination by the Daleks!

Get your Fez, Doctor Phillips!

[LordCorinth]

he's the tucker carlson of nintendo games.

[funnykidyyz]

so wait nobody is playing nintendo no more so what's going to happen to him

[vampirekoopa]

@funnykidyyz Nintendo wii??? Nintendo 3DS???

[SpotxSpot]

Well, he IS just as charming as Matt Smith.

[Dadge42]

lol its conan o'brian

[finalfantasyrules222]

so pretty much how he got his job is he used to load donkey kong arcade cabinets in a truck and transport them then one day someone from nintendo said do you wanna work for us boy and he accepted odd way to get a job where you have to play videogames where you have no playing experience

[OldsXCool]

"Good job, now I'm going to take pictures of you." OMG I couldn't breathe I laughed so hard!

[communistrecords]

It's billyMC's father!

[42guide42]

He wears a bow tie now. Bow ties are cool!

[1andonlyWojjan]

What, did navigatr do this interview?

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Oh, man, this guy's a hoot. I'm gonna look up where he is today right now.

[ObiTrev]

Shortly after this interview, the Negative World Glitch was discovered in the Super Mario Bros Game. He was subsequently fired for failing at his overly simple minimum wage job.

[Goodguy33]

". . .millions of times each and every day."

Hahaha, just imagine what he could be finishing with that statement! (GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER EX PEE!)

[gregtamnel0576]

So the Doctor went back in time to the 80s, picked up an american accent, and worked for nintendo?

[Ponicalica]

@gregtamnel0576 Bowties are *cool*.

[Hamsteere]

@gregtamnel0576 The Doctor's most thrilling adventure yet!

[ChuWanggAmes]

@gregtamnel0576 paradox, he would run into tom baker and BOOM2012

[Fuzzy192006]

Patapievici.

[Sarcasmitron]

The kids these days are really into the mario, I know how we'll get a scoop, quick call up the highest ranking guy at nintendo that isn't a filthy jap!

[bigjake52]

SFC in his office omfg

[steveharley0345]

Doesn't the news reporter sound like Navgtr?

[TheTlay101]

@steveharley0345 oh no....no the reporter knows more about video games

[lyris1]

Is there an original version of this without the snarky voiceover?

[Overflight0]

"Bow ties are cool"

...but not on this guy.

[KyngHalibytt]

What a warrior. 

[pyramidheadkitten9]

hp lovecraft...

hp stand for howard phillips....

lovecraft made cthulhu...

howard phillips secretly controls nintendo...

CTHULHU CONTROLS NINTENDO

[ILIKECEREALX]

@pyramidheadkitten9 This man looked like a ventriloquist dummy.

H. P. Lovecraft had a character with a similar appearance in "Herbert West: Re-Animator".

Nyarlathotep takes the forms of strange people to cause feelings of paranoia and invoke madness...

Eureka! I've got it all figured out! This man is Nyarlathotep incognito! It all makes sense.

[crazyduplicate]

@pyramidheadkitten9

Or, Its Nyarlathotep, Lovecraft did get the idea from a dream.

[EgyptHead87]

There's a quote from a David Sedaris book which I think is appropriate for this video:

"A bow tie announces to the world that you can no longer get an erection."

[nick12882]

I wish I could hear the video.

[Rvshem]

"Good job, now I'm going to take pictures of you."

PERFECT

[Kuolett]

This is the reason we should leave game development to the Japanese

[Mysterious0Bob]

@Kuolett You haven't played any Japanese games in the last five years, have you?

[TheeFinchLynch]

"Get me BowTie-san!"

[DoctorPorkenfries]

Official Game Master? That's bullshit, Captain N's the game master.

[Toadman1911]

2:47 "Anything's possib- oh my god..." I laughed so damn hard...

[FoolyCoolyMabase]

"Is Howard's job to make sure we have fun playing Nintendo"

"...or else!"

[Rocks21]

Super Famicom and the imminent SMW was already known about. It isn't like seeing an XBOX 720 running Halo 4 as that just something out of nowhere and could be years away when this video and the release of Super Nintendo in US were only a year apart. It also isn't a big deal for Howard Phillips to have a Super Famicom because he worked at Nintendo, of course he would get access to Japanese products or demos,.

[Rocks21]

@ScrewAttackEurope The hell, how did my comment get removed? I removed the other two, but not the last one. Man youtube just aint what it used to be.

Whatever. Listen up sir, I was not trying to be arrogant, just pointing out that its not like your comparison at all.

[Ezo945]

So Howard Phillips was THE original Captain N?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@Rocks21 So you're saying the Super Nintendo came out in the US in 1990 as well? Which is what I was referring to if you had read what I said correctly. Maybe you should "do the math" yourself as you so arrogantly put it. 

Dick.

[UberRusty]

Comment removed.

[BlastedToitles]

Howard Phillips, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!

[troysson81]

0:09 Also known as Bill Nye the Science Guy.

[Karash770]

That's what I expect Billy MC to be like in 10-20 years.

[FSinWCR]

Howard Phillips: World's largest ventriloquist dummy.

[sonicfeet]

0:47

QUICK-- USE THE CROUCHING TRICK!

[tmbg12]

Wait, they're giving Howard Philips shit?

Is...is Retsupurae the new Nester?

[zeldaboy411]

I cant stop laughing its to funny LOL

[Theinvisiblegopher]

wait does Howard Phillips live in Seattle, fuck I'm scared now

[s1gnal]

Heh, I noticed his name was in the end credits for Startropics under "Special Thanks"

[ElrondHubbard54]

This guy needs some of the coke that the guys in the previous video were snorting.

It'd make him more interesting.

[lafty1970]

Stranger Danger!!!

[DarkMage2X]

Damn, I want that Mario costume.

[munkyboywndr]

Wait, related videos: Poledancing?

GET ME BOWTIE-SAN

[demonguy1234]

omg i watched this on lsd and laughed so hard!!!!

[CrushTheHaters]

At 2:44 his own cat tries to slit his throat.

[neogeon]

you guys are so great, you finally filled my MST3K void.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Anyone see that he had a Super Famicom in his office, long before they were out???

[Ariamaki]

Anyone notice that his name is Howard Phillips?

As in, Howard Phillips Lovecraft?

I am pretty sure he borrowed that Famicom off of his true boss, Azathoth, and is simply waiting for the true end before he turns us ALL into horrible Zoda-esque monstrosities...

Seriously, who names their kid so that he as the same name as one of the most well-respected but creepy horror authors EVER?

[spetnaz93]

@Ariamaki yeah, i noticed that name too. wierd

[troysson81]

@ScrewAttackEurope:

What time?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@troysson81 as 2:12 onwards, he's playing Super Mario World.

I wonder if anyone picked up on that at the time, quite a big spoiler. It's like someone from MS playing Halo 4 on a Xbox 720

[troysson81]

Huh. Didn't notice.

[Icerama108]

@ScrewAttackEurope Well he is game master.

[Rvshem]

@ScrewAttackEurope He built it in his oiffce. I mean Gamecave.

[RusekuXxX]

@ScrewAttackEurope

KING of Nintendo.

[finalfantasyrules222]

@ScrewAttackEurope and the fact he was playing super mario world as well

[Cheetah1251]

@ScrewAttackEurope

Maybe Miyamoto assigned Bowtie-san to test his latest invention.

[FSinWCR]

@ScrewAttackEurope I'd say this report was around late 90/early 91.

[picklebond157]

@ScrewAttackEurope well, he was playing SMB3 and that came out in 1990, same year SNES came out in japan, so Miyamoto, or the man in charge of it all, must have just gave it to him or something. idk.

[p3ngu1n48]

at 1:06

the guy was so creeped out by the bowtie person that he

TELEPORTed back to england

[Icerama108]

My friends tell me I have anime hair D:

[kilikman]

No one cares you wapanese faggot.

[Icerama108]

Excuse me? Do you think I wanted my hair to look like anime hair? If you do, you are patheticly mistaken. Also, if the only reason you think I'm wapanese is because my peers tell it looks animeish, then, alt-f4 to win! :D

[NewbletGladez]

Stfu 13 year old canadian maplefag

[Icerama108]

Hahahahahaha, that's really sad, you know, it's a good sign that some one has no arguement when they just start flat out insulting you. Hahahahahaha!

[kilikman]

It's called trolling, which fags like YOU deserve. Your English sucks and you can't create a comeback for your life ("alt-f4 to win!" that's just fucking awful) go out, get friends and stop trying to be "cool" you fucking retarded wapanese canadian asswhore.

[Icerama108]

Hahahahahahaha, ohhhh, it's people like you who make Canadains think ill of americans. Also, do you think I care about my "comebacks", comebacks are childish, and I haven't used them since grade 7. Also, I don't where you come off saying I'm wapanese, considering that it's other people who are saying my hair look animeish, and since I have no control about what they say, and don't think calling me Canadain is insulting.

[kilikman]

Nice essay, I bet it said "I'm a big fag who thinks I'm more important than everyone, I love animes and want to be Japanese and not Canadian. I am also ignorant who thinks everyone is American and therefor is a bastard." Am I right there?

[Icerama108]

Nice inference, everything you just said was DEAD WRONG. One, im not gay. Two, no I do not think that. Three, I only like one anime. Four I love living in Canada, and wouldnt want to live anywhere else. Five no I don't think all Americans are bastards, and I don't think everyone is American. And finally, six, no your wrong there.

[Icerama108]

Wow, your sad, just saying that I'm a weeaboo, pulling it out of your ass, shut up.

[Icerama108]

If all your going to do is throw opinions at me and say that they are fact, I have nothing to say, because I can't argue your opinion, but it also doesn't make you right.

[Icerama108]

Hes a furfag? I never checked his channel, I saw no reason to, but I guess I will now. Thanks?

[Icerama108]

Augh, not only is he a furry, he's onto vor (vorr?) to, you know being eaten. And I see what you mean.

[Icerama108]

I know, I saw the vid with ChipCheezum, that's how I found out what Vore is. What's even funnier is that he does lps to! XD

[Icerama108]

Alright XD

[thorgrim103]

when did this air hes playing a superfamicom in the video

[fatmanfiftythousand]

Oh, we have senses of humor...when people are funny...

[fatmanfiftythousand]

Not one bit.

[ZSlash1]

BillyMC later in his life.

[Narrator007]

Does anyone else think Howard looks like Ken Jennings?

[box787]

Get me bow tie son! XD lol

[FluffyLovesSpyro2]

If playing video games makes you a god, then why aren't I Supreme Dictator of the World?

[GreatestMKfighter]

"Get me bowtie-san!"

[subliminallz]

Howard Philips is what I imagine Billymc to look like lol

[scarehunter]

I imagine Billymc as the stapler guy from Office Space.

[AlbertWesker47]

This guy is Billy's dad.

[carefreew0rld]

i'm suprised this guy calls himself GameMaster.

honestly, he seems like a clown trying to be a bigshot, so he's talking about how important he is to nintendo i guess...

[TrooperLinks]

actually carefree i do believe that title was given to him. I'd be different if he himself gave himself that title lol but yeah he's a bit freaky...
