We know E3 brings us games, news about games but also, the moments that will live in infamy. And someone has gathered up those moments but...I feel this video is a bit unfair.

Sony had A/V issues.
Someone confused E3 2015 with 2016 with the South Park stuff
And the Trials guys in the Ubi conference were funny.

However, nothing here tops GIANT ENEMY CRAB or Konami 2010 unless you consider ALEX HUNTAH.
 
Two things at Microsoft's conference. The Minecraft section and that part in Sea of Thieves where the gamers were doing live voice chat. A couple of the few times I've actually cringed in my life.
 
Eh, these weren't that bad.

The cringiest thing was high as balls Jamie Foxx and Zach Eforn trying to form complete sentences.
 
EA's Battlefield 1 showing.

"Yo stop the trailer 15 seconds in so I can talk some more!"

"Alright I'm done, and that trailer is so awesome, let's watch it from the beginning again!"
 
The Sea of Thieves commentary was pretty cringe-worthy.

Why? Some gaffers were in that and it felt like a pretty genuine showcase

Also Ubisoft was goat

A/V Issues are a bit unfair to include though, it's not the presenter's fault that this is happening after all, nor is it "planned".

The whole EA sports and Battlefield 1 celebrity cameo fest thing was a massive cringefest.

Agreed with the Microsoft Minecraft part.
 
Pervy "discussions" on NeoGAF and Twitch during Nintendo's stream.

May the "keep the childish comments away" tag on the second Nintendo E3 thread be our mark of shame.

(Oh, and Microsoft's Final Fantasy XV demonstration.)
 
"Xbox One and Windows 10 Exclusive", repeated every single time. Looks even worse now that Sony dropped this shit.

FFXV demo on Xbox.

Crash in Skylanders.

Sony ending with a game they had already shown.
 
The first Treehouse Thread getting locked because some GAFers can't keep it in their pants.
Microsoft making THREE segments on Minecraft.
Ubisoft trying to be cool again.
Ghost Recon scripted chatter.
The Final Fantasy XV demo at the Microsoft Conference.
 
I can't think of a isn't a single moment of Ubisoft conferences every year that I don't cringe during. I'm sure there are moments, but for the most part I have to constantly mute the audio, because I can't take it. The others have brief moments of this as well.
