The game itself didn't, really, but the fact that I rented this every other week as a kid from the Power Video in place of a movie we could watch together or a different game altogether annoyed him. We watched things like Ren & Stimpy together so this was right up our alley-- but I could not put the first EWJ down. It's incredibly fun, funny every time, not too easy, and is beautiful to look at. The sequel picks up right where the first left off-- more of what you love! I hope we get to see Boogerman on here, too! This price is totally worth two great platformers.
