FFF (http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=4191)
ANN (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/angry-nintendo-nerd/angry-nintendo-nerds-best-moments-of-2006-225198.php)
I would have added a third option of 'They both suck' but we already know that.
Personally I vote for FFF. It's just as 'funny' as the shit it's making fun of, and it's making fun of something stupid (people making videos giving old games bad reviews and swearing). If anything the shitty jokes are more imaginative and are actually more linked to the topic at hand.

Yeah, I'm going to have to say that after about 20 seconds of both of those I wanted to kill whoever was responsible. I'll have to vote FFF just because it's slightly less pointless. However, considering how pointless they both are, this seems a rather academic argument.
-
Angry Nintendo Nerd's bit just revolves around seeing how many obsenities can be stringed together while still making some sense. It can be funny, but games just sorta become a meaningless context, sorta like how the flashback jokes in Family Guy except it's all the same joke.
So, my vote goes to FFF because it's more than a one trick pony.
-
I should point out that ANN seems to be some sort of a 2006 internet fad that I just found about about 3 hours ago, while FFF is a flash comic making fun of ANN that I've seen a couple times but never really understood...for obvious reasons.
The thing is that although FFF does suck, it has an excuse - it's a parody of a something that sucks even more.

I've been following ANN for about a year now and even though he's slipped, he's still funny. Just watch his review of TMNT for the NES.

I couldn't watch all of FFF because it was so stupid and mind numbing. ANN was a little better, but then he talks about the game over screen for Friday the 13th and I was nearly on the floor.
-
If ANN is laughing inside as he does this, then fine. The TMNT review nick linked to is funny, if it's intended as such. If he's really trashing games from the infancy of the medium, though, he may as well trash covered wagons and horses for being a lousy way to visit California.
-
They were both terrible, but I wasn't able to sit through the entire FFF clip it was so stupid. I did manage to watch through the entire ANN clip though so I guess my vote is for that.
-
I could barely sit through all of FFF. The TMNT review that ANN did was pretty funny until the end when he just starts cursing like crazy, but all of the complaints about that game were funny as hell and true, that fucking underwater level was bullshit. So I guess my vote goes to ANN.
