{{creatortropes}}
* [[Aborted Arc|Aborted Playthrough]]: Their second run of ''Sonic '06'' -- lack of material and/or interest got the better of them.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: FTA's line during the ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' playthrough (before the Dark Moray boss), which could be considered an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] if not for the fact that NTom ''applauded'' him for it:
Line 54 ⟶ 52:
** In the ''[[Seltzer and Friedberg|Disaster Movie]]'' commentary, both Tom and Ron were genuinely amused when the main character was accidentally impaled by [[The Chronicles of Narnia|Prince Caspian]], even though it was only a dream sequence.
** They also decided this about a single joke in ''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White'' (the fact that the dwarfs eat shortcake for dessert).
* [[
{{quote|'''Tails:''' All's well that ends well, right?
'''FTA:''' ''THE CITY'S BEEN FUCKING DESTROYED!'' }}
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* [[Angrish]]: "Restart your sentence, kthnx." (NTom, to FTA after a bout of this trope during the ''Sonic '06'' playthrough)
** Tom himself isn't immune to this, as he and Ron slipped into it a few times during the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' commentary.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Helldragon sums up ''[[
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' [[Cluster F-Bomb|Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit,]] lettuce.}}
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: "Hellfire", natch.
* [[A Wizard Did It]]: During the first ''Sonic '06'' playthrough, when asked by FTA to explain things like plot-holes, magic mirrors, and all sorts, Tom's answer is almost always "Magic".
{{quote|'''Tom:''' Don't question the logic of this game, because there is none. }}
** He uses the "Magic" explanation quite frequently, actually (along with "Don't bother questioning video game logic".
Line 73 ⟶ 71:
* [[Atomic F-Bomb]]: "Excuse me for ten seconds, please *leaves computer* WHAT THE FUCK!"
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Despite NTom and FTA's constant arguing and insults, there are times when they'll actually agree. Not much, though...
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't bring up the Captain mission from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006
{{quote|'''FTA:''' ...WHAT?! You're fucking jo- please tell me you're joking on that, please tell me, [[Idiot Plot|tell me he]], I, just, ....e-e-excuse me for ten seconds please..." (Leaves his mic) "WHAT THE FUCK?! GRAAAAAAHH!"<ref>During the Sonic Unleashed commentary, FTA reveals that {{spoiler|the reaction used in the actual Sonic 06 LP was staged, though it ''was'' genuine the first time he saw it.}}</ref>}}
** Don't EVER call their playthroughs "[[Let's Play|Lets Plays]]", unless you want NTom to kill you.
Line 79 ⟶ 77:
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: Invoked quite a few times, and finally noted by name, thanks to Tom in the ''[[Half-Life 2]]'' playthrough.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: While Tom is usually the calm one of the group, he did lose it during the ball puzzle from Silver's Dusty Desert from Sonic '06.
* [[Book Ends]]: In the ''Sonic '06'' commentary, the first line Tom says after introducing himself is [[Loads and Loads of Loading|"This is a loading screen."]] Then, during the ''Sonic Unleashed'' commentary, {{spoiler|Tom utters this once again before Perfect Dark Gaia is revealed.}}
{{quote|'''FTA:''' Oh, God, it's ''Sonic '06'' all over again!}}
** Another example (albeit unintentional) happens in the ''[[Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]'' commentary. At the beginning, Helldragon mistakenly states that ''[[Pokémon 3]]'' was not released in Western theaters. Tom corrects him. Then at the end, Tom mistakenly states that ''[[Pokémon Ranger and The Temple of The Sea]]'' was the last movie to feature the original voice actors. Helldragon corrects him.
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
** "Hey, boys... do you know Classic Amy?" (Skyler)
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Each member has at least one.
** "[[Goddamned Bats|BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS!]]" (Helldragon)
** "Awesomesauce." (FTA)
** "Do I care?" (Helldragon)
Line 106 ⟶ 104:
** "I don't know/care!" (Helldragon)
** "Well; wasn't that wonderful?" (NTom, at the end of each Dramatic Reading video)
** "Sky-Neville" and "Sky-Jesus", among other things starting with the prefix 'Sky' ([[N Tom]], Skyward Sword)
* [[Celebrity Resemblance]]: In the ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' playthrough, Ron jokingly noted a resemblance between Tom and [[Jack Black]]. Tom denied this.
** In the ''[[Half-Life 2]]'' playthrough, Tom compares Greatzombieron to [[Harry Potter (novel)|Ron Weasley]].
Line 142 ⟶ 140:
'''NTom:''' Isn't that a bit extreme?<br />
'''Helldragon:''' Extreme is how we do ''everything'' here on Hellfire Commentaries, Tom! }}
* [[Everything's Worse with Bees]]: As of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', bees have started to become NTom's equivalent to Helldragon's [[Goddamned Bats]].
{{quote|''[[Memetic Mutation|"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME."]]''}}
* [[Fan Boy]]: While FTA is quite the [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] fanboy, The Helldragon is a massive fan of [[Transformers]].
Line 166 ⟶ 164:
* [[Gratuitous Japanese]]: Ron and Daniel slip into this during the ''Half-Life 2'' playthrough, [[Rule of Funny|for no real reason.]]
* [[Goddamned Bats|Goddamned ]] ''[[Running Gag|BAAAAAAATS]]'': Helldragon's worst in-universe enemy.
* [[Go Mad
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Whenever they do commentary on something, but forget just how bad or [[Mind Screw|ridiculous]] it actually is (or are well aware, and [[What Were You Thinking?|go with it anyway]]), with [[Go Mad
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: This occurred during their first ''Sonic '06'' playthrough (during the Trial of Love), when a glitch led Tom to believe that you ''had'' to choose [[Interspecies Romance|Elise]] [[Unfortunate Implications|in order to proceed]].
** and also while doing [[That One Level|Atlantica]] in the [[Kingdom Hearts II]] playthrough, specifically during the final song.
Line 191 ⟶ 189:
** In an attempt to fight back against Tom's puns, Helldragon has delved into this as well. ("''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Terra]]''ble!")
* [[Informed Ability]]: AxelRyman, BigAl2K6, Captainblue50, and LuizPrower are all members of the group, despite not having appeared too often, if at all.
** They have appeared in commentaries, but most of them aren't available. Axel starred in an ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' playthrough (cancelled), Alan starred in a commentary of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'' movie, Captainblue50 was in the ''Ben10'' live-action film commentary with DCE, along with a ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' playthrough (cancelled), and Luiz starred in a ''Sonic Rewards Compilation'' playthrough (removed).
** Cloud8745 was also a member briefly for 5 videos or so of the Pokemon Emerald playthrough (removed) before THD was a regular.
** Luiz was also involved in something [[Street Fighter]] related, but it was never released.
Line 202 ⟶ 200:
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: During a live stream, Tom once forgot that there was a level after the final boss of [[Sonic Colors]], and went to get a drink, expecting the credits to roll. He came back missing about ten lives.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: The Disney-thon spawned a couple of them [[In-Universe|for the commentators]] -- Coach Bolton (''High School Musical'') and Persian Wolverine (''Aladdin and the King of Thieves'').
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Helldragon compares the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' ...well, pieces fly off, it slowly [[It Got Worse|gets worse]]; soon its core is compromised and it blows up everywhere, but really it's SEGA's fault because [[Tactical Suicide Boss|it built itself]] [[Attack Its Weak Point|with a giant "FUCK ME" light on the very bottom]].}}
** Also later, as the boss is crashing:
Line 211 ⟶ 209:
* [[Mind Screw]]: Tom pulls this on Ron in the ''Brutal Legend'' playthrough.
** A slightly meta example, but have you ''seen'' some of the stuff they've commented on? ''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White'', etc.
* [[
** Especially their dramatic readings.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Apparently]], ''[[High School Musical]]''.
Line 222 ⟶ 220:
'''Tom:''' Well, the point is on the end of the spear.
(A [[beat]] is heard, followed by an audible slapping noise.) }}
** This exchange from the [[
{{quote|'''Helldragon:''' What is that structure in the background, the one with the big fuckin hole in it, what is that?
'''Tom:''' Looks to be part of an ''oval office'', if you will.
Line 246 ⟶ 244:
** NTom, greatzombieron, and IRTundraboy. (''Brutal Legend'', ''Half-Life 2'')
** NTom, FTA and {{spoiler|1=SonicMovies}} (The ''Sonic Heroes'' playthrough)
* [[Punctuated!
* [[Pungeon Master]]: NTom64.
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Lampshaded by Tom on a number of occasions.
Line 274 ⟶ 272:
{{quote|'''NTom:''' [[Pokémon: The Movie 2000|Lawrence III]]'s Upgraded Styrofoam Fortress [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|versus a Dragon Mech]] for no reason.<br />
'''THD:''' But it would be the ''best'' reason... 'cause it'd be kickass -- [[Rule of Cool]], people, come on. }}
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: A mild case; whenever the work they're commenting on [[Mind Screw|stops making sense]], their commentary starts to [[Go Mad
* [[Say My Name]]: FTA likes making fun of Tom's "[[Opening Narration|Hello, I'm NTom64]]" intro line (see [[Running Gag]] above). Tom's actually called him out on it once or twice.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: There's a schedule? Also lampshaded quite frequently. For example, during the ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' playthrough, Sora & co. entered a doorway at one point and come out on the other side ... nine months later.
Line 292 ⟶ 290:
* [[Sure Why Not]]: This was how a bored NTom and BigAl one day decided to do the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'' movie commentary over Skype.
* [[Take That]]: To the material they're commenting on, [[Self-Deprecation|to themselves]], to something completely unrelated, etc.
* [[
** And, more recently, the Fractal Tech Gear™.
* [[
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Tom used to say "Indeed" quite a few times in earlier playthroughs.
** Also, "This is true."
