    Person » credited in 3 games

    Brad Shoemaker was a senior editor of Giant Bomb from 2008 to 2021, and a former editor for GameSpot. He was the third host of the Giant Bombcast. Voice of an angel.

    This should be used as the Brad Shoemaker theme song.

      Seriously, it's ideal. This needs to be put to use in some way, maybe to introduce him on the bombcast?

    True.  Heh, if they ever plan to continue a "Brad centric" video series like "Building with Brad", it could be fun to have that as his theme or something.

    Awesome, i support this. heres the lyrics for analysis.
     

     Lyrics:

    Who's that super-fly musclepumper? (It's, it's, it's, it's Brad)
    You've never seen a super-fly musclepumper as bad as this Brad
    Who's that super-fly musclepumper? (It's, it's, it's, it's Brad)
    You've never seen a super-fly musclepumper as bad as this Brad

    It's Brad, it's Brad, Braaad, Brabrabrabrabrabrabrabrabrabra-
    Brad, it's Brad, it's Brad, Brabrabrabrabrabrabrabrabrabra-
    Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad, Brad

    B is for the bodaciousness the Bradley brings to this beat
    R is for the ridiculos radicalness I'm about to release
    A is for the absolute awesomest anti-hero alive
    D's dang sure for deliciousness, coz I'm a delectable guy

    So:
    B! (Bodacious)
    R! (Radical)
    A! (so Awesome)
    D! (Deliciousness)
    B! (Bodacious)
    R! (Radical)
    A! (so Awesome)
    D! (Deliciousness)

    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad, he's bad
    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad he's bad to the bone
    He's Brad, he's bad

    Use this to introduce Brad, followed shortly by him doing his usual "I'm up! I'm up!" routine.

    The real problem here would be getting songs of equal quality for the rest of the bomb squad.

    @WalkerTR77: Yeah, all Brad's old reviews are like that. He hardly seems awake. That, combined with the shaggy hair and glasses, makes him seem like an entirely different person from the current Brad.

    This has nothing to do with the topic, but I just feel that I need to post this as I posted that bizarro Brad video.  This one's Ryan.  I just find it interesting to see how they've changed and how they've gotten way better at doing these kinds of videos now.

    It's really jarring to me, actually. Comparing that and Ryan Davis to how they are right now. It's really jarring.

    I think that was more the Gamespot "keep it clean and keep it friendly" thing they probably told them to adhere to. No F-bombs, wacky humor, etc. Reading off a script I'm guessing.
     
    Edit: Also, I like that he kind of panicked when he says one level is already in its destroyed "mode" instead of "state" or something like that.

    Somehow, Gamespot video reviews were always terrible, except, ironically, when the game itself was terrible.
