Line 144:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Jason loves making these. Once, when asked to bring Roger coffee, he coughs into the mug and explains that "I am the coffer, so this mug is the coffee."
** Another time, after Jason saw ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'', he dreams that he becomes a Na'vi with the ability to connect his mind with that of a computer - which wanted him to "write some object-oriented code". He describes it to Peter as his "Javatar" dream.
* [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks]]: In-universe, Jason's response to the "mainstreaming" of [[The Lord of the Rings|Tolkien geekdom]] due to its highly successful film series. Although for him, it's not so much "It's Popular, Now It Sucks" as much as "It's Popular, Now Nerds Won't Be Special." The series gave the title to one of the book collections, "Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything", the cover depicting Jason and Marcus sitting in a theater surrounded by googly-eyed girls.
* [[Jerkass]]: Mainly to Peter and Paige.
* [[Just One More Level]]: This trope is often present in-universe as a plea when Jason is playing video games and Andy wants him to do a chore or go to bed. Also subverted once when Jason says he'll go to bed right after he finishes level 47 on a game...conveniently leaving out the fact that he's currently on level 13.
