If someone could find a way to trick Todd and Billy to sue each other, we would have free entertainment tor the rest of our lives

I think the most ludicrous part of the whole saga is that the game is Dragster. Not Super Mario Bros. Not Pac-Man, nor Centipede, nor Pokemon, nor Minecraft, nor Tetris. None of the most respected or well-known games in the history of video games, but freaking Dragster. It's both hilarious and so very sad

I can't wait for Mr. Jobst to eat his words when he discovers that The Todge technically already won the lawsuit by filing it in second gear.

Everyone: "You just had a lawsuit" Todd: "But what about second lawsuit?"

When the world needed him the least, he returned.

If Billy Mitchell and Todd Rogers teamed up and started speed running games, we could truly call them "tool assisted speed runs."

Imagine you're a child and dream about being a judge, serving justice, upholding the law, punishing criminals and protecting the innocent. And then reality hits you and you have to reply to Todger's incoherent love letters instead.

7:10 "The problem here is that Todd isn't a lawyer, and has no idea what he is doing." - Todd Rogers life the past few years summarized

“To clog up the legal system with things of such a trivial nature requires a special kind of cognitive dysfunction.” Damn, Karl, he’d probably be furious about that if he could figure out what half those words mean.

Dang... They hurt his reputation so bad that not only did it hurt the sales of his book, but actually willed it out of existence.

This just shows to how powerful Guinness and Twin Galaxies are, they removed his book from existence.

I can just hear the heavy sigh from the Twin Galaxies guys after they opened their mail to find another dumb lawsuit by that Togers guy.

If the dude actually DID write a book and made ita confession of all his cheating it might ironically sell well.

"Plaintiff received a monetary" This is the most sentence ever written.

Imagine becoming a judge only to receive a letter from Todd Toddler

When you described what Tortious Interference was, my first thought was that he'd be suing Twin Galaxies for ruining his contract with Guinness by telling them the record was fake in the first place. I didn't think it would be smart or valid, but I mean, at least it would look somewhat like a lawsuit and not just an expensive piece of paper

"They have no place in our society." Now now, Karl... My mama always told me, 'You can be a good example, or a horrible warning, but either way, you're doing something.' Todd is just fulfilling the 'Horrible warning' quota for rather a lot of people, that's all.

The Tortuous Interference must have been extremely thorough so that it completely removed Todd's book and all its traces from existence. Considering he can't even find it himself, that's the only explanation.

Let's say he really achieved that record, multiple times. He's now had decades to provide or create video evidence of that. He knows it's possible, he knows the method, he's clearly willing to dedicate his life into proving it. If he had just spent entire time attempting to replicate that record and kept camera rolling, by all odds he should have eventually succeeded in that, even by accident. But he's done literally anything but that. That's all the evidence I need.

That absolute legend was going for the "getting a case thrown out" speedrun.

Frivolous lawsuits really sicken me. I very much know how it feels being sued. My company is being sued by a competitor for no reason other than trying to get me bankrupt due to legal fees. It made 2022 the most stressful year of my life. Two weeks ago the court finally decided to rule in my favor and rejected every single claim the plaintiff made (all 7) and I got rewarded about 15% of my actual lawyers fees. Yesterday I received an email from their lawyers telling me they are going to appellate court. Looks like 2023 won't be much of a change... We really need some better/decent laws in place to stop frivolous lawsuits!

This is why you secure a qualified attorney when you get into this sort of litigation. My attorney, for example, knows elite top-tier legal tricks such as 'spell-checking and proofreading official documents.'

When Karl calls him "Todd Todgers" it always brings a smile to my face 🙂

Todd looks like the fun uncle at the family reunion that always knows where to get good cocaine

The thing is, he could ACTUALLY make money telling his story of how he faked it all those years and the lengths he had to go through to hide/ obfuscate/ lie in order to keep it going (including the old Twin Galaxies culpability)

He should just accept the Guinness record for most fake records and get on with his life

I cant stop thinking about how he misspelled his own name in a lawsuit once.. like love how do you manage unless you're dyslexic and if you're dyslexic why would you even try to sue anyone by yourself..

I remember reading a funny story about Rogers on a retro gamers blog several years ago. This guy was at a retro gaming convention and he had a rented a booth to sell his stuff. He happened to have two loose copies of Dragster on his table that were for sale. He said Rogers stopped by and they talked for several minutes. He said Todd was very nice and that they had a good conversation. A little later on he needed to use the bathroom so he had his young son watch over things while he was gone. When he got back he later noticed that Rogers had autographed both copies of Dragster without asking permission to do so. He included pictures of the carts in his blog post and Rogers had signed them and included his fake time as part of the autograph. He said he didn't ever say anything but it bothered him that Rogers had done this without his permission.

Any speedrun Todd makes is by definition tool assisted.

This is his life. He has nothing to live for except for this. He’s got nothing else and it’s pathetic. Take this as a cautionary tale on what NOT to become ladies and gents.

This situation has stopped being funny once these weirdos started suing everyone left and right so props to you Karl for keeping up the great humor, you really killed it with the closing statement lmao. All the best man, take care.

Imagine saying you have a fake book and then not naming it in your lawsuit 😭

"You can't just keep suing people for the same thing after you lose... but Todd has an IQ of 250" lost my shit at that one dude lol

Glad to see Todd Rogers is so humble as to willingly give Karl content.

The judges are gonna love how much of a waste of time these lawsuits are. As soon as the judge hears "video game" he or she is gonna go "I don't get paid enough for this shit... Plaintiff gets nothing, have a nice day"

I can't believe it Karl skipped right by Thanksgiving to hit the trigger event for Christmas truly revolutionary speed running

When Karl said “to look like an absolute” I just filled in “legend” in my head out of reflex. And I felt sad. But then he hit us with “douche bag” and it was cathartic

I'd say "it's not about winning, it's about sending a message," but that would require Todgers to have a message in the first place.

I couldn't help but chuckle every time you called him "Togers"

As a lawyer, I have to give you a lot of praise for this video, like your other law-related videos. As far as it goes for RU-vid content produced by non-lawyers, it really is top notch and shows a real engagement with the issues. Any attorney would be quite proud to have such a sophisticated client-and happier still to represent you on a case as hilarious and near-sanctionable as this.

If suing TwinGalaxies is a game to him, then you could say he now has the world record of suing them.

I thought Paul Blart the mall cop was the thumbnail, and I was happy that he managed to make a new career in gaming to help pay for his situation after the last documentary about his life.

Imagine being this old and this sad. SO odd to me how some people get stuck like this in the past and choose hangs on to it like this.

Okay, so, few things to say here. 1: It's been said that a person who represents themself in court has a fool for a client, but this is just nuts. 2: Not gonna lie, when I saw the title, I honestly thought it was gonna be a video about Tim. 3: Vexatious Litigation. The repetition of Todd's lawsuits is probably enough for the offended parties to claim harassment. (I'm not a lawyer though.)

There's a poetry in people being so obsessed with their reputation that they will overly react to the first damage to it, to the point of destroying it in the process. As for Todgers, he is great entertainment ! I go through so many emotions whenever he's involved ! His obsession is sad, his resilience inspiring, his method revolting, and his incompetence hilarious.

Honestly Todd probably should publish a book. If he wrote a book about his whole story, including coming clean about the cheating, and how exactly he did it all, that'd probably make him a lot of money.

The craziest thing from this, is that he originally tries to battle this in court back in 2017. He loses the case, and goes dormant for 5 years, and comes back to retry a case basically the same lawsuit but with a different way to sue for the same amount that he tried to get 5 years ago in order to not be legally be in a double jeopardy situation in which a person cannot sue for the same charges twice after the first was dismissed or closed or a mistrial, whichever the case occurred. At least if I was a judge that's the conclusion I would have come to anyhow. It's so crazy that these people because of something so trivial they accomplished over 30 years ago, and because the courts deemed it not even worthy to even try any of these cases, Todd and Billy basically doubles and triples down by attempting to sue basically for the same case under different wording to get the same amount of money they originally sued for years ago.. How much more stupidity can you get... Now that's "legendary" there. Legendary idiotic beings that gain more status by being more idiotic than years ago over a score..

When I was editor of GameRoom Magazine, Todd called me up one day and asked me to send him one copy of every issue that mentioned him (I didn't do it). That told me everything I needed to know about Todd...

Oh boy more Todd Todgers! I love watching this guy make an ass out of himself!

This wallet salesman continues to make some great points!

I'm pretty sure what he's trying to say in his lawsuit, is that they knew he had a contract with a publisher to write a book, and they publicly announced the removal of his record, and because of that the publisher backed out of the contract so the book he wrote never got released. Hence why you can't find it anywhere.

What is truly sad are the judges and system that even humor these lawsuits, because even if frivolous and false they still drag innocent people into financial troubles. A lawsuit like this should be dismissed write from the beginning from any reasonable judge.

Todd and Karl are in cahoots. I got it all figured out. There's no way the esteemed Mr. Togers, holder of the world's oldest video game record (and probably the coolest and most impressive feat in human history if we're being honest), renowned ladies man, expert strategist, and all around staple of the gaming community, could possibly be doing something this stupid without some bigger plan. It must be for content. Yep, that's what it is.

I love how Karl calls Todd something different every time 😂

1:28 I've done that! There was some airplane dambuster game for the C64 I used to play, and I very quickly twigged that there was an optimum release point. When I found it, on went the tape. The difference is that I had no intention whatsoever of leveraging my score for anything. What happened in a playroom in suburbia stayed in a playroom in suburbia.

Todd Togers must be the first man in history to speedrun getting a smooth brain.

The double spacing in his filing there is… I mean, how do I put this… it’s astonishing how much it looks like the complaint is begging to be a picture book.

The saddest part of this is that despite how hilariously awful bad lawsuits such as these are, real people are actually receiving them and having to spend tens of thousands of dollars fighting them.

No way you're still being sued. I'm sorry to hear that man. I wish all the best for you and your family. Life is hard enough as it is

4:58 By that logic, that 5.51 Dragster time that Todd claims he got would be the first ever tool assisted speedrun.

I love that you're still going with the Todd Todgers bit. It makes me laugh every single time

How I imagine a conversation between Todd and a judge: What are you claiming damages for? > Lost revenue of selling the book. What book? > A book >:( !!!! Does it exist? > No :(

Randomly switching between Rogers and Togers was a great addition

Your humor has gotten so good over time. But I guess you gotta give Todgers some of the credit for providing the fuel.

I suspect that's why he's representing himself in court. No lawyer would pick up the case. "A lawyer that represents himself has a fool for a client".

As I was watching the video, I saw the sentence "Plaintiff received monetary from the sale of Plaintiff's book." at 8:25 and I was surprised that Karl didn't call attention to it. That's one hell of a sentence, and I wanted to point it out. After I finished the video, I went back to find the time stamp so people could see what I was going to refer to. Before typing this comment, I took a few seconds and read the rest of what is displayed. There are 5 sentences on screen at that time stamp, and only one is typo free. Gotta love Pro Se filings.

Imagine spending years of your life like Todd and Billy, they peaked decades ago and won’t let it go. Whenever you think your life kinda sucks at times, think of them, you’ll feel better.

Todd Rogers is the kind of person who makes you feel better about yourself for not being him. No matter how much of a failure you think you are. Even if you work a job you hate, have zero self-esteem/confidence, and think you're better off dead... You're still a better human than Todd Rogers.

I absolutely NEED a followup on how he came up with that 964,842 figure. I cannot rest until I have that knowledge. It's such a specific number, it must have come from somewhere

I was wondering when the next episode of Todd Togers would come. What a glorious day. Thank you Karl.

1. This video is the funniest ultimate roast I’ve ever seen 2. I wish I was there to see the judge/the defendant’s lawyer when they read Rodgers’ lawsuit and burst out laughing

Maybe he's just going for the Guinness World Record for most frivolous lawsuits

Todds the kind of guy who claims he can juggle 5balls but can barely throw one.

I would actually love to see Todd and Billy submit runs to GDQ for Dragster and Donkey Kong.

"HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?!"

As much as I love Karl's analytical brain dealing with speedrunning records, there is nothing to make my day funnier than videos on Mitchell and Rodgers. Can't wait for the next one already!

There is a UK legal saying: "A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client"; that must go double for non-lawyer.

Man I knew Todd personally. Haven't spoken to him in over a decade. He was a chill dude I met who would come where I worked with his parents shopping and we would talk about games and stuff. He introduced me to King of Kong, Twin Galaxies and all that stuff. To see him become this is pretty expected. I don't hate him but I wish he would move on and figure out something else with his life.

So proud of Todd for getting his law degree

Dang Karl, you were straight savage in this video. You must be so done with these people. Love your work man, stay happy and safe.

A two page lawsuit with the spacing I used to use at school when I wanted to make my essay look bigger 😂

"Discovering brand new ways to look like an absolute douchebag" this had me in stitches. Using that in my vocabulary now on. Least we can give Todd Todgers some credit for that hilarious line! GG Karl!

Its always pissed me off that they said he held the record since 1980 but there was literally a published Activision magazine that showed the record holders being Chuck Hunter and son from 1981

"I literally have a life-sized Todd Rogers poster taped to my roof." This is the sentence that makes me so "wha?" when I have the video playing but multi-tasking like 10 other things

found the book. it's called "Can Ron Jeremy Do THIS With HIS Stick? Records Galore And Much Much More!"

"I even have a life sized cut out of Todd on my roof because I like the feeling of knowing todd is watch over me while I sleep" absolute gold! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just love that the Todgers running gag continues even in this video

So like... the suit doesn't even mention a book title? Countdown to "Oh, I was GOING to write a book".

When he talks about "Plaintiff's book," I think he's referring to the Guinness World Records book(s) that his record appears in.

I already felt like this lawsuit was gonna fail hard just like the last one, but once you said that he’s doing it without a lawyer this time, that’s just a guarantee that this will fail even harder. No one should ever try to represent themselves in any legal case, let alone a second stab at suing someone.

This has got to be one of the best living example of someone who peaked in high school.

I bet he cut and pasted from a Google search of “What is tortious interference?” The example used a book as an what was damaged and he ran with it.

The more I watch these Todd Rogers videos, the more I'm convinced this was the man that used to hang with my dad and grow magic mushrooms with in the 90s.

On behalf of all Todd's we hereby renounce this one, he shall be known forthwith as "T-Dummy" or also acceptable is "T-Bag" we thank you for your understanding on this matter. Sincerely, Todd G. ~ World Wide resource manager of the United Todd's foundation.

I wonder if Todd was trying to imply that this "book" of his was the Guinness Book of World Records that he was supposed to be in. It doesn't make any sense that he would claim it as "his" book, but it's just stupid enough that I wouldn't put it past him.

It's a bold strategy, Todgers. Let's see how it pays off.

I think Todd was trying to say that he receives royalties from the sales of Guinness' books that listed his fake WR but worded it in the most awkward way possible.

It almost feels like he just copied a preset lawsuit online and forgot to change the text or something, this is so ridiculous.

Oh! The “Anger Management” logo, over his shoulder, at 0:48, is just too perfectly placed.
