Line 64:
* [[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 ''[[Dragon Ball Evolution]]'':
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' [[Cluster F
* [[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".
Line 71:
** He uses the "Magic" explanation quite frequently, actually (along with "Don't bother questioning video game logic".
*** And there's the occasional variation -- [[Brutal Legend|Metal]], [[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Dance, Tim Burton]], etc.
* [[Atomic F
* [[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 (Video Game)|Sonic '06]]'' to FTA, trust us on that one. When that came around, he completely ''snapped'':
{{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!"[[hottip:*: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.}}}}
Line 96:
* [[Call Back]]: In the ''KHII'' playthrough -- upon visiting the Hundred Acre Woods, there's some discussion similar to when they visited the area in the ''first'' game.
** In the ''[[Sonic CD]]'' playthrough, FTA references the later parts of the ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' playthrough (his previous appearance, nine months prior) several times.
{{quote| '''FTA:''' "When's ''CD'' getting made?", "when's ''CD'' getting made?", ''[[Precision F
* [[Camp Straight]]: Skyler. Doesn't really help that he seemed perfectly okay with the prospect of dressing up as Classic Amy and dancing for FTA.
** "Hey, boys... do you know Classic Amy?" (Skyler)
Line 113:
* [[Chuck Norris Facts]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB4Pac8ANlI This video.]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: greatzombieron.
* [[Cluster F
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' You know what? Fuck you [[Pinball Protagonist|Sonic]], fuck you Tails, fuck you [[Scrappy Mechanic|balls]], fuck you [[Scrappy Level|Aquatic Base]], fuck you [[Base Breaker|Shadow]], fuck you [[The Scrappy|Silver]], fuck you [[Goddamned Bats|laser fence]], fuck you [[Interspecies Romance|Elise]], FUCK EVERYONE! '''[[Cluster F
** Also:
{{quote| '''FTA:'''Fuck the fucking fuckers!}}
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Tom is this in spades.
* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: When addressing the [[Schedule Slip]] in the ''Sonic and the Black Knight'' playthrough:
{{quote| '''FTA:''' It's all Tom's fault; blame him.<br />
'''NTom:''' Umm, excuse me, who disappeared for a month?<br />
Line 132:
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' If you explain the pun, it doesn't work. ''Fail.''<br />
'''Tom:''' [[Mind Screw|It makes it an anti-pun;]] [[Chewbacca Defense|therefore, it is still a pun.]] }}
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: greatzombieron has made one or too quips that may have crossed the line -- an autism joke during the ''Disaster Movie'' commentary, or a [[Too Soon|Haiti]] joke in the ''Brutal Legend'' playthrough. NTom and (in the latter case) IRTundraBoy [[In-Universe|were not amused]], either way.
** [[Actually Pretty Funny|"The autism is]] [[Sonichu|in your mind."]] (SonicMovies)
* [[Dull Surprise]]: Typically lampshaded whenever it shows up in the works they comment on. For instance, they reference one moment in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' thusly:
Line 142:
'''NTom:''' Isn't that a bit extreme?<br />
'''Helldragon:''' Extreme is how we do ''everything'' here on Hellfire Commentaries, Tom! }}
* [[
{{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 151:
* [[Filler]]: One time, due to not having enough time to record more ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]'', NTom, and IRTundraBoy (later Greatzombieron) instead opted to record some more ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' -- exploring, collecting all the legends/songs, etc.
** Now Tom and Ron have done a commentary on ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', for a similar reason.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]] (NTom64)
** [[The Lancer]] (The Helldragon)
Line 167:
* [[Goddamned Bats|Goddamned ]] ''[[Running Gag|BAAAAAAATS]]'': Helldragon's worst in-universe enemy.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Tom and DCE very nearly lost their sanity during the dramatic reading of ''Twilight''. DCE even described their insane breakdown with excessive [[Purple Prose]], [[Take That|just like Twilight would have.]]
* [[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 From the Revelation|predictable]] [[Hilarity Ensues|results]]. ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', ''The Adventures of SharkBoy and LavaGirl'', and ''Dragonball Evolution'' are all good examples, and possibly ''Sonic '06'' as well.
* [[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 (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]] playthrough, specifically during the final song.
* [[Hey
{{quote| "[[Peter Cullen|Optimus Prime]], what are you doing here?"}}
* [[Hijacked By Ganon]]: During a podcast from NTom64 and Helldragon, they spent some time discussing their problems with [[Twilight Princess|some]] [[Star Fox (Video Game)|instances]] of this trope.
Line 218:
** Subverted in the [[Spider Man Shattered Dimensions]] stream, when asked if he could be addressed by his full name. He responded that he really doesn't care.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Ron's driving endeavors.
* [["No. Just... No" Reaction]]: During the ''Disaster Movie'' commentary, greatzombieron reacts to one of NTom's jokes this way. To make sense of it, the movie currently showed a character pinned to the ground with the spear from a collapsed statue:
{{quote| '''Ron:''' I don't even know what the point is, to this whole thing...<br />
'''Tom:''' Well, the point is on the end of the spear.<br />
Line 231:
'''Helldragon:''' So you're on the [[Dual Boss|two Skullker tanks]], I presume-<br />
'''Tom:''' Oh, there's '''''two''''' of them?! }}
* [[One of Us]]: Otherwise, this page wouldn't exist. I wonder if it's [[
** NTom64 has lost some respect for this site though.
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Helldragon AKA Matt Willard
Line 277:
* [[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 (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' playthrough, Sora & co. entered a doorway at one point and come out on the other side ... nine months later.
* [[Self
** "Daniel, you're recording video game footage for the Internet. I'm pretty sure you've hit rock bottom." (Tom)
** "HellfireComms: Please [[Retsupurae]] us!" (Helldragon)
Line 284:
* [[Shout Out]]: Several, including Command and Commentary (a fellow Youtube commentary group which FTA is affiliated with), the Something Awful Let's Play forum, [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]], and [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|The Spoony One]], among others.
** Also, in their ''Half-Life 2'' commentary (and later ''Kingdom Hearts II'', among others), they make a shout-out to a [[TV Tropes|very special web page.]]
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Parodied and invoked; see [[Shameless Self Promoter]] above.
{{quote| '''NTom:''' One day, someone's gonna watch this and think we're actually being egotistical.}}
* [[Spot of Tea]]: Tom loves his tea. He even claims that it's his power source.
Line 291:
* [[Straight Man and Wise Guy]]: Tom and FTA (or Tom and Helldragon) keep an act like this going strong.
* [[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
* [[Tradesnark]]: Death Laser™!
** And, more recently, the Fractal Tech Gear™.
Line 299:
*** And recently, "''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White''."
** "Fair enough" - FTA.
* [[Very Loosely Based
{{quote| '''BigAl:''' This is happening ''now'', this is based on a true story.}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: NTom and... possibly everyone.
