Hellfire-Commentaries is a commentary group based mainly on [http://www.youtube.com/user/HellfireComms Youtube] and [http://hellfire-commentari.blip.tv/posts?view=archive&nsfw=dc Blip.tv], and now branching off to [http://www.hellfirecomms.com/ a site of their own].
Founded by NTom64 and [http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHelldragon The Helldragon], they partake in [[
Members of the group include:
Line 54:
** 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).
* [[All Is Well That Ends Well]]: From the ''[[
{{quote| '''Tails:''' All's well that ends well, right?<br />
'''FTA:''' ''THE CITY'S BEEN FUCKING DESTROYED!'' }}
Line 60:
* [[Anachronic Order]]: The Disney-thon -- of the commentaries that were finished, most of them were recorded out of order.
** Also, ''[[Sonic Storybook Series|Sonic and the Secret Rings]]''<ref>(According to the non-commentary footage on [http://www.youtube.com/HellfirePlaythroughs this channel].)</ref> -- {{spoiler|4 of the 7 World Rings are collected ''after'' fighting Erazor Djinn.}}
* [[Analogy Backfire]]: In the ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' playthrough -- Tom compares their own group's [[Power Trio]] to that of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'', but after assigning Daniel as Ed and Ron as Edd, he finds that the remaining pair (himself and Eddy) don't match at all.
* [[And Call Him George]]: In the ''[[
* [[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
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Helldragon sums up ''[[Dragon Ball Evolution]]'':
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' [[Cluster F-Bomb|Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit,]] lettuce.}}
Line 70:
{{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".
*** And there's the occasional variation -- [[Brutal Legend|Metal]], [[Kingdom Hearts II
* [[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!"[[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.}}}}
** Don't EVER call their playthroughs "[[Let's Play|Lets Plays]]", unless you want NTom to kill you.
** Also, never call Greatzombieron by his real name, or ''he will end you''.
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: Invoked quite a few times, and finally noted by name, thanks to Tom in the ''[[
* [[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
** ''Kingdom Hearts II''. In the segment directly after the prologue, Helldragon says the [[Innocent Innuendo]] quoted in the YMMV page, and Tom asks him to rephrase it. Then, before the finale ({{spoiler|The World That Never Was}}), their roles are reversed:
{{quote| '''Tom:''' Well, Goofy goes into Sora when he does Valor Form.<br />
Line 93:
{{quote| '''FTA:''' If your parents are dead, and the only friend you ever had is about to be erased from history, ''just smile!''}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: A little bit of everyone, but mostly Tom.
** IRTundraboy, on this site, having perused it during the ''[[
* [[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.
Line 108:
** "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 ''[[
{{quote| '''Ron:''' No I'm not, I'm fat.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gag]]: [[Kingdom Hearts|Parasite Cage]]. First seen in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' playthrough, then given a [[Call Back]] in the ''Sonic '06'' playthrough, and brought up again in the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' playthrough upon encountering {{spoiler|'''Mecha-Cage'''}}.
Line 142:
'''NTom:''' Isn't that a bit extreme?<br />
'''Helldragon:''' Extreme is how we do ''everything'' here on Hellfire Commentaries, Tom! }}
* [[Everything's Worse
{{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 149:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Helldragon's racist against technology -- NTom dubbed him a "techist".
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' AHLALALA! NTom seems to be like this with snowmen }}
* [[Filler]]: One time, due to not having enough time to record more ''[[
** Now Tom and Ron have done a commentary on ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', for a similar reason.
* [[Five-Man Band]]
Line 158:
** [[The Chick]] (SonicMovies)
* [[Follow the Leader]]: A good example is [http://www.youtube.com/user/BrainScratchComms BrainScratch Commentaries]. They now have [[Brain Scratch Commentaries|their own page]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: During Rouge's driving section of ''[[
{{quote| '''FTA:''' We have a chick with cleavage bigger than Tails' head, and she's driving a friggin' ''penis!''}}
* [[Fun
{{quote| '''Tom:''' Digest Cookies, Everyone!}}
* [[Gag Dub]]: It's been done by NTom, FTA, TheHelldragon, RandomDCE, and greatzombieron.
Line 169:
* [[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 [[
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Discussed a few times. "Hang on. I'm detecting copious amounts of ''[[Dan Green]]'' in the area..."
{{quote| "[[Peter Cullen|Optimus Prime]], what are you doing here?"}}
* [[Hijacked
* [[Ho Yay]]: FTA and SonicMovies.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: NTom has indulged in this from time to time, [[Hilarity Ensues|much to the chagrin of his cohorts]].
Line 191:
** 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. (
** 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 198:
'''NTom:''' ...That's the weirdest insult I've ever received; thank you. }}
* [[Jerkass]]: FastestThingAlive fits this to a T.
* [[Jerk
** FTA has his moments to.
* [[Leave the Camera Running]]: During a live stream, Tom once forgot that there was a level after the final boss of [[
* [[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 208:
'''NTom:''' [[Take That|Bye-bye, Dreamcast!]] }}
** In the ''Unleashed'' playthrough, Tom indulges in it as well.
{{quote| '''Tom:''' A ''[[
* [[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.
Line 216:
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' ''YES. Robot Ghost Ninja Vampire High School. Best school ever!''}}
* [[Never Say That Again]]: "Don't you ever. ''Ever.'' Use my full name." (NTom, in response to FTA referring to him as "Thomas")
** Subverted in the [[Spider
* [[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 />
(A [[
** This exchange from the [[Dragon Ball Evolution]] commentary.
{{quote| '''Helldragon:''' What is that structure in the background, the one with the big fuckin hole in it, what is that?<br />
Line 233:
* [[One of Us]]: Otherwise, this page wouldn't exist. I wonder if it's [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|ruined their lives]] yet?
** NTom64 has lost some respect for this site though.
* [[Only Known
* [[The Plan]]: NTom64 and Helldragon [[Wild Mass Guessing]] this to be how the plot of ''[[
** It's gotten to a point where they believe that {{spoiler|Xanatos was responsible for not only the creation of the Cage legacy (Parasite Cage, Mecha-Cage, Proto-Cage), but also for Nomura letting no TV series be included in Kingdom Hearts}}.
** In the Super Mario Galaxy 2: Stream playthrough: The two worlds that are multiples of three were both 12 parts long, which is also a multiple of three! As a response, [[N Tom]] said "Funny how things work out like that."
Line 241:
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Pointed out by Captainblue50 in their ''Ben 10: Race Against Time'' commentary.
* [[The Power of Rock]]: The ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' playthrough, natch.
** A variation occurs in the ''[[
* [[Power Trio]]:
** NTom, FTA, and TheHelldragon. (Not in any playthrough, but the three have appeared in livestreams and such.)
Line 267:
*** Greatzombieron saying he can get through the entire game without getting attacked by a barnacle, then getting constantly attacked by them. Tom and TundraBoy keep reminding Ron about his earlier remark.
*** Also, Ron claiming he's the the ''[[Half-Life]]'' expert of the group, and then failing at random points in the game.
*** Whenever the NPC who modeled [[Half Life: Full Life Consequences
** ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] and the King of Thieves'': "[[Drinking Game|Take a drink!]]"
** ''[[
* [[Rule of Cool]]: They decide that ''[[Brutal Legend]]'''s "Bring It On Home" solo runs on this.
** Also quoted verbatim by Helldragon during their ''Sonic '06'' playthrough:
{{quote| '''NTom:''' [[Pokémon:
'''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 From the Revelation|fall apart]], often with [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious results]].
* [[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 ''[[
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: "I was re-watching the ''Sonic '06'' playthrough earlier, and ''my God, we are boring.''" (FTA)
** "Daniel, you're recording video game footage for the Internet. I'm pretty sure you've hit rock bottom." (Tom)
Line 282:
* [[Shameless Self Promoter]]/[[Please Subscribe to Our Channel]]: [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] : towards/With [[Channel Awesome]] as of late.
* [[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
** 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.
Line 290:
* [[The Straight Man]]: NTom64. IRTundraBoy shows traces of this as well.
* [[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. (
* [[Take That]]: To the material they're commenting on, [[Self-Deprecation|to themselves]], to something completely unrelated, etc.
* [[Tradesnark]]: Death Laser™!
** And, more recently, the Fractal Tech Gear™.
* [[Un Cancelled]]: ''[[
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Tom used to say "Indeed" quite a few times in earlier playthroughs.
** Also, "This is true."
*** And recently, "''The Harlem Globetrotters Meet Snow White''."
** "Fair enough" - FTA.
* [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Played with in Tom's and BigAl's ''[[Super Mario Bros. (
{{quote| '''BigAl:''' This is happening ''now'', this is based on a true story.}}
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: NTom and... possibly everyone.
