- "While on a trip to London, an angry Father smashes his son's Nintendo DS for playing it non-stop."
- ―Description
Psycho Dad Pounds Nintendo DS is the seventeenth episode of the Psycho Series, uploaded onto the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel on March 1, 2015.
Plot
The video starts with Jesse announcing that he's going to London, England with Jeffrey Sr. as Jeffrey Jr. takes the camera for Jesse.
On the way to the airport, inside the airport, and on the plane, Jesse passes the time by playing Super Mario 64 DS on his Nintendo DS, much to the chagrin of Jeffrey Sr..
In London, Jesse tries to charge his DS but is unable to because of the different outlets.
On the way to dinner, they walk around London. At dinner sitting at the table, Jesse zooms in on Jeffrey Sr., much to his annoyance, and proceeds to tell him to turn off the camera.
At the end of the first night, Jesse finds that he has to share a bed with Jeffrey Sr., much to the annoyance of both (especially when Jesse begins to play his DS in bed).
The next day, Jesse and Jeffrey Sr. ride the London Eye and asks him if he remembers the time Kate broke Jeffrey Jr.'s iPad and Jeffrey Sr. said she was nuts. Jesse then encounters a man dressed as Shrek on the sidewalk and proclaims that "Shrek is love, Shrek is life!".
The video cuts to a time later, where Jeffrey Sr. is taking a shower. Jesse decides to turn the light off in the bathroom and Jeffrey Sr. says; "YO, you want to turn the freaking light back on, I'm gonna fall and bust my ass!", which is funny to Jesse.
The next day, Jeffrey Sr. films Big Ben and walks through an alley way with a guy playing a violin.
That night, Jesse continues to play his DS in bed when Jeffrey Sr. intervenes, claiming that he shouldn't be playing games when he could be out exploring London. When Jesse continues to argue that he doesn't want to go outside, Jeffrey Sr. takes his DS and pounds it with his foot. He then hits it against the bathroom counter, and then drenches it in the bath and tosses Jesse's camera on the bed, then leaves. Jesse runs to the bath and tries to retrieve the DS, but it shocks him. Jesse is disappointed and notes that sometimes he wishes that Jeffrey Sr. never existed, berating himself for this as the video ends.

Reception
Psycho Dad Pounds Nintendo DS was met with mixed reviews.
Although praised for the destruction, it was criticized for Jesse's attitude to his father, wasting an opportunity to visit the sights of London to playing video games. Because of this, it is one of the Psycho Videos where many viewers actually sided with Jeffrey Sr. rather than Jesse.
Jesse responded to these criticisms in Broken Nintendo DS & My London Experience *UPDATE*, calling them "unfair", stating that he funded the trip and that he already had explored everything he wanted to see.
Later on, during the events of Psycho Family Therapy, Jesse claims that he didn't find London interesting when he tries to knock down his father's justification for destroying his DS.
