    I'm sure everyone is aware of this fact but i wasn't sure if anyone put it out there. Who do you think has died more times? Plus, i want Jeff or Vinny to go "Oh my god! they killed brad" or some variation of that next time he dies on a quick look

    You know, I never thought of it like that.  Very acute observation, sir.

    Hmmm this the first time I've looked at like that and ya know you're right. That would be pretty funny if they started doing that in Brad's quick looks.

    Brad kind of seems like Kenny in more ways than just the dying all the time part.

    1. It wouldn't be a quick look without Brad dying.
    2. You try playing a game while talking about it and see how many times you die. 
    3. Your "ohh my god! they killed Brad" is fucking hilarious.

    Just to let everybody know, Justin Calvert was the one who started the "Pull a Brad" phrase.

    I've watched quite a bit of South Park and a lot of Brad dying but I never made that link. Nice observation.

    At least Brad plays the damn game. Ryan just wastes minutes not following simple on-screen directions and bringing most  QL's to a painful crawl while he plays.

    His death on GoW Collection QL is probably the one of the most unfortunate yet...

    @Mordukai: 
    just a quick note at number 2, I can play Guitar Hero while talking on the telephone, so if that's possible then anything that GB has played can be done while talking and not dying.

    What the. . . .? He's an editor over at Gamespot, and he still works there.
     
    It was on Brad's birthday, on a episode of On The Spot,  when the phrase was first created by Justin. Brad died a bunch of times in the game Ghouls & Goblins for the PSP, and after that, Justin said that he hopes that he doesn't "pull a Brad." That's been haunting Brad ever since.

    No, Jeff is Cartman, and Mr. Davis is Stan.

    Personality-wise Jeff and Ryan are both Cartman.
