In season 4 episode 10 of Angry Video Game Nerd, the Nerd takes on a game with a title that sounds straight out of left field - Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. The game, released in 1994 for the 3DO console, presents itself as an interactive romantic comedy experience. However, the Nerd quickly discovers that it's less of a game and more of a poorly executed slideshow with cringe-worthy acting, offensive images, and nonsensical gameplay.

Throughout the episode, the Nerd hilariously dissects every aspect of the game, from the confusing controls to the bizarre storyline. He points out various issues with the game, such as the fact that the player has no control over the outcome, and that there's no actual way to win or lose.

The Nerd also delves into the questionable marketing tactics used to sell this game. The box art and promotional materials suggest that the game is a raunchy, adult-themed experience, but in reality, it's just a mess of still images and terrible voice acting.

As with many of the games featured on Angry Video Game Nerd, the Nerd finds amusement in the sheer absurdity of it all. He makes fun of the game's predictably crass attempts at humor, and pokes fun at the game's tendency to use the same images and dialogue over and over again.

But ultimately, the Nerd comes to the conclusion that Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is not only a bad game, but also a deeply problematic one. He takes issue with the game's portrayal of women, with one female character in particular being reduced to little more than a sex object.

In classic Nerd fashion, the episode is filled with hilarious moments and witty commentary, all while providing some insightful criticisms of the game. As always, the Nerd manages to make a terrible game entertaining to watch, and offers an entertaining take on one of the weirdest games out there.
