In the late 80's during the peak of the NES popularity, the self-proclaimed World Video Game Champion named Skip Rogers released two tip tapes, both entitled "How to Score More Points at Nintendo Games." Prior to Seanbaby's review of the Yellow version in 2000, both tapes went relatively unnoticed as far as I can tell, which is an absolute shame. Although it's hard to tell if the humor is intentional, both of the Score More Points videos are a work of comic genius.

While watching the tape, it becomes quite questionable if Skip himself is actually playing the games he's reviewing. This becomes particularly questionable during the footage of Blaster Master, when Skip tells us "Don't get into fights!" just as the hero of the game helplessly tries to attack a nearby enemy for the next 20 seconds or so (and fails miserably at doing so). Moreover, Skip certainly does take his time performing the different moves featured in Wrestlemania, despite being a champion. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Double Dragon section of the tape truly takes the cake. Not only are the colors on the screen distorted due to the tape's poor visual quality, but the music for Mission 2 abruptly starts to play for a few seconds when Skip's only halfway through Mission 1, until it switches back to the level's appropriate theme without any explanation as to what happened.

Without a doubt, I give Score More Points a perfect 10 stars for it's "laugh 'till you cry" level of humor. Perhaps it's just me, but Score More Points is so funny that it's far too difficult to accurately put into words. You simply must see it to believe it!

I never thought I could get sick of Brak, my all time favorite cartoon character of all time (to quote Space Ghost). However, it lacks the unpredictability that you'd see on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Brak's one liners are severely weak in comparison to the unforgettable Cartoon Planet ones like "I'm not as dumb as I look...I'm dumber!" or "All those imaginary girlfriends were after me, buddy!" An even bigger let down, however, is that this show attempts at providing plots. Brak is much more suited in a show about nothing, in which we get to hear his nonsensical ramblings, cooking lessons, school day memories, and tales of suspense. What do we get with the Brak Show? Plots a 6 year old could think up with some added swearing. Brilliant. At least Brak Presents the Brak Show Starring Brak had Grape Ape.

In short, this show is about as relevant as the last couple seasons of the Simpsons. Not worth your time at all.

I'd like to take back that comment I've made on the show about a year ago. Seeing as how there weren't too many episodes to watch at the time, my review was a bit biased. My main problem was with the art style, it takes a while to get used to. However, looking past that, there's an exceptional series that shouldn't be missed. As stated by the other reviews, there isn't too much dialogue, so the show focuses much more on the action. Also, this is one of the few shows where it doesn't matter what order you watch the episodes in really, as most of them don't enertwine with each other story wise. My favorites so far would have to be XXXVIII (Jack turning into a chicken) and XXX (Jack vs the zombies).
