Next Time on Lonny



"Eddy: "You ever uh, huffed a human soul?""

Next Time On Lonny is a Web Original comedy series that parodies the Reality Show genre. The eponymous character in the Show Within a Show Lonny is "a flavorless twenty-something... [meandering] through his hipster existence desperately trying to meet girls." But On the Next Lonny, "things get interesting... very interesting."

Watch it here.

Next Time On Lonny provides examples of the following tropes:

 * Abhorrent Admirer:.

"Eddy: You ever... uh... huffed a human soul?"
 * Always a Bigger Fish: The are much, much bigger than the.
 * Axe Crazy: Lonny's  Chet. Well, more like.
 * Badass Boast: "I done shot a thousand cops on my block with a glock / and if that glock get hot, gangsta you gon' get got!"
 * Binge Montage: Lonny and Eddy do a lot of drugs in "Lonny Goes Big Time," including cocaine, marijuana, and human souls.
 * Butt Monkey: GARRETT.
 * Call Back: Dog Moon reappears for a second in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party."
 * Catch Phrase
 * "You're really pretty, you know that?"
 * "Oh no!"
 * Crazy Prepared: Yet again, Lonny's  Chet in episode 1.
 * Comedic Sociopathy
 * Confession Cam: "Next Time, After That Time."
 * Deconstructive Parody
 * Disposing of a Body: "We have to bury the body... there's a landfill not too far outside of town. We'll inject the body with some embalming fluid and then toss it in a grave that I started digging early last week."
 * Fantastic Drug: Played with, since the episode had already shown cocaine and marijuana use before Lonny and Eddy huff human souls.
 * Foreshadowing: Lonny talks about his friend coming from his hometown, says "Chippewa Falls, my hometown, what, represent!" and flashes a gang sign. One episode later...
 * Freeze Frame Bonus: The credits to Lonny change each episode, and include "Fluffer Consultant" James Cameron, "Police Supervisor" Rodney King, and a "Special Thanks" to Carlos Estevez.
 * Also, Dog Moon in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party."
 * Hey It's That Guy: Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher of BriTANick make appearances, and you might know Alex Anfanger (Lonny) from a few of BriTANick's sketches.
 * It Got Worse: Nearly every episode, but especially Episodes 3, 4, and 5.
 * More Dakka: "My gun go off, nukka!"
 * N-Word Privileges: Hilariously played straight. Gangsta Lonny is the "token" white gang banger in his crew, but he can only call his boys "nukkas."
 * Negative Continuity: A major source of the show's humor.
 * Oh hey look, Garrett's alive again.
 * Humanity was a  for a while, but everything's cool now.
 * Apparently,  just don't have the same legal ramifications in Lonny's world as they do in ours.
 * Lonny's old friend  returns in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party,"   Yes, yes it is.

 * Please Wake Up: "Oh you're okay you're okay... you're alive you're alive... don't you die on me!"
 * Psycho Ex Girlfriend: "Yo Nukka!
 * Reckless Gun Usage: And how. In episode 6 (and its associated music video and deleted scenes), Lonny does the following:
 * rubs his gun on a fellow gangbanger's face.
 * Shoots his gun off to the side and straight up into the air.
 * "Points" at anything of interest with the gun.
 * Points it at his own head during the music video.
 * And yet, Lonny still exercises good trigger discipline...
 * Refuge in Audacity: Justified, because with a few less murders and psychotic breaks Lonny would fit well between True Life and The Real World.
 * Rule of Funny: Pretty much the only reason the show makes any sense.
 * Start of Darkness:
 * Shout Out: And how.
 * Episode 1: Fight Club  and Goodfellas.
 * Episode 2: Independence Day
 * Episode 3: Goodfellas as evidenced by Lonny's impersonation of Henry Hill.
 * Episode 5: Indiana Jones
 * Show Within a Show: Lonny itself.
 * Temporal Paradox: Lonny meets himself from the future. And then himself from further in the future. And then himself from even further in the future. It gets worse from there.
