The 50 Lamest Video Game Bosses

Bob the Killer Goldfish
Game: Earthworm Jim 2
Year: 1994
Bob makes appearances in every one of the Earthworm Jim games, each with their own spoof take on the boss battle. The most embarrassing of the encounters is when you go face-to-fin with this "bruiser" in the second in the series. Earthworm Jim approaches his fish bowl, a Mortal Kombat-esque "Fight!" appears on the screen, and the match begins...for a whole two seconds before Jim reaches into the bowl, plucks Bob out, and eats him. It's a funny moment, for sure, but save the humor for the dialogue and cinematics!

1st: Master Chief does not take on Tartarus. 2nd: Flood ape? Flood he is not. Did you play the game?

It's not an anticlimactic ending.. the AI just didnt respond properly.

This wasnt the final boss. the final boss was Deadalus. this was the boss for chicago. But Deadalus was the final Boss for the game.

I remember this fight and I almost smashed my TV until I learned about having to hold the block button at the end. I agree it was totally lame.

Where the F- is the boss from Doom 2?

Kind of disagree with you on this one. I thought this Final Boss battle was something different and unexpected.
JJ BANKS December 10th, 2010 at 07:45 PM
I agree. This boss battle was more annoying than it was challenging and rewarding.

I disagree here. This wasn't really meant to be a "battle" in the true video game sense but more of plot point in the story.
