Meet Crisbo Herrs: an inept video game reviewer with absurdly poor gaming skills, an inability to do research, a considerable ego, and a deep admiration for the Angry Video Game Nerd.Crisbo is the main character of the Save-State Gamer show, created by writer Philip J. Reed. The show is one of various parodies of The Irate Gamer, such as the Third Rate Gamer and the Irritated Gamer; the Save-State Gamer's videos use Stylistic Suck as their driving force, with various jokes being direct parodies of jokes from the Irate Gamer's reviews.Each of his videos have been compiled into this playlist. In light of Phillip Reed's tragic suicide on July 2022, the Save-State Gamer archive exists to preserve both the Save-State Gamer and Reed's other videos. | |

| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: Naturally. The page quote from "History of Video Games" should clue you in. Later in the same video, he is apparently convinced that he would have been rich within five years from his T-shirt and DVD sales. | |

Bread Milk Eggs Squick: In "History of Video Games", upon time-travelling to the past, he reminds himself to "stock up on some Yummy Mummy, and some Sharkleberry Fin, and tr*nny porn where the pubes aren't shaved." | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The driving force behind the show; a consumer webcam is used to record everything, amateur characteristics of Windows Movie Maker videos are present, and his reviewing style obviously leaves a lot to be desired. | |

Special Effect Failure: Invoked, and also justified due to his use of Windows Movie Maker. In the Zombie Nation/Color a Dinosaur review, before Horsefellow busts through the wall, you can see the black felt used for the hole effect balled up on a nearby cabinet. | |

Wasteful Wishing: After pondering what to wish for in his Pac-Man review, his second wish, "for some reason, is to make minor progress in a video game", asking Horsefellow to "get rid of some of those dots". This is to parody the Irate Gamer using his second wish to clear a couple of stages in his Aladdin (Capcom) review. | |

There Was a Door | |
| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_5fc68f05 | comment |
There Was a Door: Subverted in his review of the Wii Wheel, where he compares the awesomeness of the product to the Kool-Aid Man jumping through walls while he spends an inordinate amount of time describing how funny it would be if it did happen right that moment, all while the camera conspicuously leaves a lot of empty space for it to happen. Justified, as relying on Windows Movie Maker wouldn't allow the Kool-Aid Man to be easily edited in well. | |

Sequel Displacement | |
| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_66171879 | comment |
Sequel Displacement:invoked The end of his Fallout 3 review demonstrates him having a very interesting grasp on how he thinks that the entries in the Fallout series (or according to him, the "Fallout 3 series") are numbered. He thinks that the Mega Man series skips straight from the third installment to the ninth, leaving him wondering what happened to numbers "4-7". | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Muscle March", after going into an irrelevant rant about Kool-Aid flavors, Crisbo recites one obviously intended towards Chris Bores on a meta level: In a similar vein, "History of Video Games" has Future!Save-State Gamer giving his evil self a passive-aggressive lecture after the latter shoehorns a Star Trek II reference by randomly shouting Khan's namenote lampooning the discrepancy of Chris Bores calling a character both "Mr. Anderson" and "Khan" in his pre-Irate Gamer "Back to the Past" video, tying into the video's theme of critiquing Irate Gamer's use of invokedshallow parodies in his reviews. | |

Button Mashing: Parodied. He is always mashing buttons and is never holding his controller right during his reaction shots. In some shots, he is not even using a controller at all and is instead using a TV remote or a closed D Si. | |

By "No", I Mean "Yes": His thoughts of Contra 4 in his "Top 5 DSi Games" video vary between him praising the game for being "perfect" to harshly criticizing various aspects of the game. He goes on about how the Wii Wheel has minor drawbacks, emphasizing the fact that they are indeed drawbacks... before saying that he can't think of a single drawback about the thing. He goes back and forth between criticizing Fallout 3's graphics and praising them. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Save State Gamer (Web Video) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: He complains about games relying on this, but ends up invoking a more literal example of this trope, in which he tries to make games seem more difficult than they really are. His Mega Man review has him complaining about the jumps that you have to make in the game, demonstrated by him successfully making a jump...and then purposely walking back into the pit anyways. In his Pac-Man review, he quite obviously is purposefully missing eating a power pellet, and says that he'll just explain in a YouTube comment that he was doing it on purpose in an attempt to be funny. | |

Don't Explain the Joke: In "History of Video Games", he is accused of messing with the timeline by "interacting with [him]self from another point in the past". His response? "Oh, come on, I interact with myself all the time," accompanied by him holding up his hand, wiggling his fingers, and pointing to it. After a beat, he adds, "Masturbation hand."note In addition to parodying explaining the joke, this doubles as a reference to an Irate Gamer quote. invokedIn his Mega Man review, he brings up a rather infamous scene in Ring King, saying that he'll explain the joke to make it even less funny "than it was to begin with". Topping it off is him providing the viewer with a description of what "getting head" is. | |
