So the Nerd decides to ruin the citizens of Gameville's Christmas by replacing their presents containing good games with really bad games. He does this in the same style as the Grinch complete with Narrator and a singer who sings a parody of You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch.

S5 · E9Day Dreamin' Davey 2011-01-05 · 14 min
The Nerd reviews a NES game called Day Dreamin' Davey which features a very bland story about a kid who keeps falling asleep and is amazed by basic objects. The Nerd's main complaint about the game is the constant reusing of only three dream worlds which are a Medievil World, Roman World, and the Wild West. While the levels themselves have no logic when it comes to item locations and the number of hits it takes to kill an enemy. This game is so bad that the Nerd would rather dream of playing a better game than Day Dreamin' Davey.
