Then they got that Dark Tipster guy and soon I had more respect for Chris." That "dark tipster guy" is Kevin Rose and this is his Digg site that your posting on lol :-)
- tratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"kevin rose seriously needs to put out more".
Wow, that was one of the most unintentional homoerotic comments I’ve ever read. :) - samoscratch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1those flaring nostrils will haunt me FOREVER
- rundun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the good Old Time, That won't happen now on G4tv
- freelancer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1G-RaZoR If you are referring to Kevin Rose and you must since he does all three shows, you have lost your mind!! He is great in front of the camera, Now if you are referring to Dan, I'll give you that he could be better in front of a cam but that's years of work so before you become a critic let me see you do it and then we can talk ..

Oh man, that clip actually makes me sad. I just felt so bad for that guy the first time I saw it. - GuiBou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I miss the old gang at Tech TV...this was so funny
- psyduck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have been looking for a link to the Screensavers episode where a collector and expert on records was holding some rare round ball recording that he said was priceless and it broke.
If anyone has that link I would greatly appreciate it. ;D - mutant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lordy.. that brings back mammories.. I saw that.. He was also hosting a segment where a guy had an irreplaceable phonograph tube, busted it, and the dude goes "oh *****..".. Chris just plowed right on.. Good stuff.
- stzasan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1god i hope they talk about this on diggnation...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I dunno how G4 even survives. Xplay is the only show (or should I say Morgan Webb) holding the damn station afloat. Does anyone watch any other damned show? I used to watch AOTS then I realized that it was just "digg on tv".
- silvermask, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahh, that makes me miss TechTV (although I never really got into Call For Help with Chris hosting - by that point I was past the CFH "level" anyway). Nothing like live TV.
- littleone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1WTF??!! Dude, yes. It was embarassing, but that crazy high pitched laugh was even worse.
The second video was HILARIOUS!!!!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I miss TechTV. Thank god for TwiT! Go Leo go!!! - Falcorian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Morgan Web can save me on live TV any day! ;)
- whistlerpeak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Morgan Webb is the hottest thing in Technology!
- JDOG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bring back TechTV! Somebody with a lot of cash should buy up the old studios, re-hire the old crew and keep it going. It would lick G4 in ratings.
- comrademikhail, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I was never fond of Chris, but he never bothered me enough to say "I hate him". I could understand why he lost it after 15 hours of CFH, and I actually saw both of these clips live when they happened. You can't help but feel bad for them while you're laughing though, because you know they know they just messed up on live television, especially the guy who broke the phonograph piece.
- zoob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Chris Pirillo is hands down the most irritating geek ever to invade the television medium.
- elandru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think he was um..high....toked up...rolling.
Maybe this was towards the end of his TechTV career so he didn't care anymore...food for thought...er munchies in his case. :) - 21.0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0rofl, that guy was annoying
- briansalo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0OMFG I remember this
He reminded me of the old guy from Eight Crazy Nights right there, I swear there was a seizure coming on if he didn't stop quickly... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not that I really digg this... But I just had to get the 1000th digg!
- laserone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's just embarassing to watch.
- chimpinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, I usually skip past TechTV or G4 or whatever it is. And now I know why. How absolutely retarded.
A network about video games?
Please, people, go outside for once. - Bandito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whew... that's a relief. For a second there I thought they were going to make me sit through a clip of Kevin Pereira.
Chris may be annoying at times, but at least he knows what he's talking about. - Legondaree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i really didn't care for Chris pirillo when he was on techtv, didn't dislike him but didn't really have the interest to watch him either, but i have gotten to where i like and listen to his pod casts.
my pod cast rotation right now is (not in any order)
twit, dignation, the Chris pirillo show, geek news central, Major Nelson, video game news radio, game on, and wizards of technology. and a few others if i can fit them in my drive to work - Legondaree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0man that was funny lol
- evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0omg.. that guy sounds like a retard
- mg53, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hate his voice. It is so annoying!
- CronicusX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Haha
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Eating my nuts" LOL Priceless! And it looked like the girls didn't catch it right away what he just said and how it looked on camera maybe because they knew what he meant. It's one of those comments that you don't realize is dodgy until you see it out of context. Like we did. LOL
But yeah, that zoom in on his face didn't help anything. He has an awkward smile or laugh lines at least. Yeah, I'd get a little goofy too after doing something for hours on end. - TheGooseyOne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha he was 15 hours in give him a break...hilarious clip though
- Fr3ak3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I rember this thanks for the old memories :)
- JeffS, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't dislike the Dark Tipster, I just didn't care for his early TV days. Sure, he was much better on TV than the "boom goes the dynamite" guy but it is hard to get someone who is tech savy and can handle TV. Leo, Patrick, and Martin were the only ones who could really do it. I couldn't stand watching Morgan during those days either. Her segments used to make me nervous. She's much better now on X Play. Anway, I didn't see much of the G4 stuff nor do I watch much of it now. I gave up on that channel when they dropped Wil Wheaton from that gaming show. At the time that was the only thing they had going. I'll occasionally watch X Play but as far as I am concerned the rest of it sucks. TechTV on the other hand was great. I loved TSS, Sumi's show, Dvorak's round table show, Call for Help was entertaining as well. Thanks G4.
- rivered, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i think he was laughing cos of the burping AND saying "i was eating my nuts" combo while trying to clarify it by showing the audience his almond nuts tin. it was funny/embarrassing to see him laughing all by himself tho
- thecapitalizt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey, you'll never see anyone that would cause crap like that on Diggnation. Ever. End of story.
- ziffel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+015 hours in or not, he's still an amazingly dorky geek. Highly annoying.
- luke--, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I posted this a few days ago...'ilarous clip though
- MikeMacMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think its hilarious, but don't be so hard on the guy. I can remember times when either myself or just about everyone I know couldn't stop laughing from something. Sleep deprivation usually does it (being drunk also helps). Being live on national TV probably doesn't help either.
- adamzap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh man, that reminds me of the good times
- M4tt3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@ kinney,
OMFG, thank you ! I just pissed myself. That was one of the funnest things I've ever seen. So many things are funny about that it's absolutely f'in hysterical - Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lmao....funniest thing ever hahaha
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh man. Thank you Chris for making my afternoon.
- gnatinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0good memories :)
- ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0which pic am i clicking on??
- bonlebon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was funny, those laugh attacks are so painful, the last time I had one somebody called an ambulance, no kidding guys, this laughing so much is something serious.
- JDOG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great clip. I enjoyed the broken priceless audio device one as well.
