Gronkh: Difference between revisions

[[File:GregorOnkh_6618.jpg|frame]]

 

His LPs are quite un-[[Walkthrough]]-like compared to others, even though he hardly ever offscreens anything. His knowledge about the mechanics of the game he's playing are often limited or non-existant, but he usually makes up for it with general videogame savvy. His commentary about equally consists of review-like opinions on strength and weaknesses of the game, witty illustration of [[Fridge Logic]], random talk, opinions and [[Real Life]] observations, and puns he [[Incredibly Lame Pun|apologizes for immediately afterwards]].

 

 

''Certainly'' not to be confused with [[Gonk]] or [[Gronk]].

=== Others: ===

* ''[[Battle Of The Immortals]]''

* ''[[Dont Shit Your Pants]]''

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Evil Chicken.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: After he announced to end his Let's Play Minecraft, the threats of the [[Fan Dumb]] were like this. As someone put it:

* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: "[[Fan Nickname|Idiot dogs]]."

* [[Audience Participation]]: Even more often than other Let's Play authors, he lets his viewers decide what he'll do next in his LPs.

* [[Catch Phrase]]:

** Most of them vary and only stick for a few episodes or a single [[Let's Play]], but the persistent ones include:

** <insert recurring or overused joke here> "That joke'll never get old."

** [[Critical Hit|Crit damage! Crit damage!]]

* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Discussed.

* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In his early videos he tended to put things much more bluntly and was much less talkative than he is now; all in all, his in-show personality wasn't developed yet.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]:

* [[Drinking Game]]: He suggested one himself on his Facebook page: Take a shot every time he quicksaves during his Let's Play of [[Prey]]. During some fights, this literally happens every ten seconds.

* [[Dronejam]]: Happens to him occasionally, always snarkily commented.

* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: He considered constructing one of these [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBMnBWkPknQ here].

* [[Fake Longevity]]:

* [[Fan Nickname]]:

** ''Minecraft'':

*** Zombie Pigmen are known to him as "Schweinepriester" (literally "pig priests", a relatively generic and appropriately suidine insult).

*** He often calls Endermen "Ändermänner", both a pun on the name "Endermen" and a reference to their ability to make changes to the landscape (German: "ändern" ~ to change)

* [[Genre Savvy]]

* [[A God Am I]]: Frequently parodied.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in-character, caused by seeing Evil Chicken again in Minecraft.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: He often apologizes for his own puns or complains about how often he already used them.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Inverted. He doesn't care whether it's silver or iron.

* [[Instant Web Hit]]: Any video uploaded or promoted by him gets a few ten-thousand views per day for a while.

* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: Lampshaded [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuYxFScJC1g here].

* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: On [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqp2MOb0bcU one occasion] in his Minecraft LP he promised "fast-paced action scenes", only to... run away from any monsters.

* [[Money Spider]]: Lampshaded on many occasions, also with actual spiders, in ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'':

* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a70avBa9Po#t=520s Dramatic music plays while we construct the ceiling... THE CEILING!!]

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Whom are we gonna take with us... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao9_z_QUwR8 These two pretties and Aveline]. (One of those "pretties" was ''Varric the hairy dwarf''.)

* [["No. Just... No" Reaction]]: [[Played for Laughs]] as his reaction to gay romance in ''[[Dragon Age II]]''.

* [[Non Sequitur]]: Too often to count; often [[Lampshaded]]. A glorious example:

* [[Player Tic]]: Repeatedly choosing the same dialogue options in [[RPG|RPGs]] that allow this.

* [[Pungeon Master]]

* [[Running Gag]]:

** Him being "Almost Twelve Years Old (TM)", along with his "Gregor Onkh" identity.

*** Using a shovel to "shear"/spank sheep. Once shears were introduced, their sprite in his custom texture pack by [[Web Original/Honeyball|Honeyball]] was changed to what he called a "groping glove" to reflect this.

*** Chickens being evil.

** [[Dragon Age II|Fenris]] not cleaning up the corpses in his home in the course of several years.

** In his "Adventures at the Riding Stables" LP, "Or the horse will die."

* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: Shows up rather snidely [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWc41_Hh-Sk here].

* [[Self-Deprecation]]: He often calls his own commentary "pointless rambling" or similar.

* [[Shoot the Medic First]]: Applies to other sorts of casters as well in ''[[Dragon Age II]]''.

* [[Sinister Geometry]]: Inverted; he loves symmetry and tries to apply it in everything he builds in Minecraft.

* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]:

* [[Song Parody]]: As a special, he recorded one of these (using the music of the song "Das Beste" by ''[[Music/Silbermond|Silbermond]]'') when he reached 200 subscribers. The first stanza is an over-the-top cheesy 'thank you' and declaration of love to his subscribers, the second one midway shifts into a [[Take That]] to Silbermond and [[Lampshade Hanging]] of the song's cheesiness... and in the end, the refrain's lyrics are [[Non Sequitur|suddenly replaced]] by Gronkh discussing how much he likes schnitzel.

* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Primarily in ''[[Minecraft]]'', where he often forgets to switch playlists, resulting in cheerfully cutting wood being accompanied by gloomy Nether music or upbeat music playing while exploring a creepy cave.

** Every time Sandal from the ''[[Dragon Age]]'' series says "Enchantment!".

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z62SDh91rD4 This entire video]. ([[Mood Whiplash|At least the first part.]])

** He stated this about singer Andreas Elsholz, whose music he had "recommended" before as a [[Rick Rolling]]-style prank.

** Also the premise of his simulator "Let's Trash"s.

* [[The Stinger]]: Parodied for example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywyFkqTvmnk here].

* [[Take That]]: He justified intending to set a ''[[Minecraft]]'' chicken on fire with the statement that "incinerating a chicken is relatively tame compared to what regularly happens to them at [[KFC]]".

* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: There's a persistent rumour going on that his real name would be "Gregor Onkh". He has given up on correcting the naive viewers who kept thinking so, and regularly jokes about the name or even supports the rumour himself. This culminates in a "Gregor Onkh Loves You" shirt worn by him during several interviews.

* [[Vendor Trash]]: He often sarcastically praises such items for their value and usefulness.

* [[We Buy Anything]]: Lampshaded [http://gronkh.de/lets-play/dragon-age-2-gut/054-blutiges-ausrotten-der-nadelspitzen here].

* [[Zerg Rush]]: As a side effect of how the absurd amount of wolves he tamed [[Cuteness Proximity|just because they're adorable]], much to his annoyance, this unnecessarily happenes every time an enemy approaches his dog coop.
