Jacob Hope Chapman (formerly Hope Chapman), aka '''''JesuOtaku''''', is by far the most successful and analytical of the former [[Desu Des Brigade]], formerly a member of [[That Guy With The Glasses]].
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
* Various [[Let's Play|Lets Plays]].
 
His videos [https://web.archive.org/web/20131017173858/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/jo/jar used to be found] on That Guy With The Glasses, but since the domain change to [http://channelawesome.com/ channelawesome.com] and his departure, his videos and his links have been removed. [[Unperson|The only signs of his existence on the network]] are the role he played in [[To Boldly Flee]] and two videos where he guest starred, one by Nash on [[What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?]] and one by [[Bennett the Sage]].
 
Since joining [[That Guy With The Glasses]], he gained a great degree of success previously unseen. Despite efforts to keep the [[Desu Des Brigade]] alive, he made the decision to officially leave the Brigade, which then disbanded. Jacob then quit the TGWTG network in October 2014 due to payment issues with blip.tv and to focus on his writing job on [[Anime News Network]].
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In his review of ''[[Princess Tutu]]'', he says, "I see a [[Ouran High School Host Club|host club]] in [[Vic Mignogna|someone's]] future..." on a clip of Femio.
* [[Adorkable]]
* [[Attention Deficit Creator Disorder]]: Let's see, he reviews anime, is making a retrospective on all the [[Digimon]] anime, dubs [[Anime Theme Song|Anime Theme Songs]], is analyzing the [[Trigun]] anime, has ''another'' job reviewing even ''more'' anime on [[Anime News Network]] and oh yeah, is currently working on ''a [[Radio Drama]] adaptation on the ENTIRE [[Fruits Basket]] manga'' [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|(also, he works at a theater)]].
** He is no longer writing reviews for ANN. However, in 2012 he decided to see every wide-release movie that came out, and in spring started doing video blogs about several of them.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: In his in-universe [[Let's Play|LP]] of [[Super Mario 64]], he does a first-person, diary-like monologue if [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] was actually an Italian plumber from...well..Italy, felt like he was hallucinating, and eventually became a thrill-seeking, [[Axe Crazy|sociopathic]], [[Evil Overlord|evil-overlord-to-be]] with [[A God Am I|a god complex]] who never "gets some" from [[Love Interest|Peach]].
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: A common thread in his written introductions for each of the villains in his Top 20 Deliciously Evil Villains.
* [[Attention Deficit Creator Disorder]]: Let's see, he reviews anime, is making a retrospective on all the [[Digimon]] anime, dubs [[Anime Theme Song|Anime Theme Songs]], is analyzing the [[Trigun]] anime, has ''another'' job reviewing even ''more'' anime on [[Anime News Network]] and oh yeah, is currently working on ''a [[Radio Drama]] adaptation on the ENTIRE [[Fruits Basket]] manga'' [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|(also, he works at a theater)]].
** He is no longer writing reviews for ANN. However, in 2012 he decided to see every wide-release movie that came out, and in spring started doing video blogs about several of them.
* [[Author Filibuster]]: He used his [[FLCL]] review as an opportunity to go on a rant about how [[Studio Gainax]] are complete HACKS when it comes to making [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Psychological]] [[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World|Dramas]] and that they should stick to [[Rule of Cool|over-the-top goofiness]] and simple morals. He addressed this fact on his [[Twitter]], and stated that the reason he did this was because FLCL was just way too simple for even ''him'' to talk about at length.
* [[Berserk Button]]: [[In-Universe]], [[Moe]], and now also an ecchi comedy about [[Brother-Sister Incest]] called ''[[Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Janain Dakara ne!!|Oniichan No Koto Na...]]'' [[Long Title|ah, screw it]].

** He also mentions in his ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' review that among his friends, he's known as the [[Trope Codifier|Osaka]] of the group.
* [[Companion Cube]]: His [[Fun with Subtitles|snarktitles]]. Until they have a brief falling out about their use in the ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' review, making up afterward.

* [[Crossover]]: The number has been steadily rising since he joined TGWTG. Notable examples include a review of ''[[Sucker Punch]]'' alongside [[Bad Movie Beatdown|Film Brain]], his status as a regular on his ex-boyfriend Nash's [[What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?|WTFIWWY]] and Radio Dead Air (he returns the favor by appearing on his streams on a regular basis, and also appeared in his review of ''[[Transformers Animated]]''). Also, he appears in the 4th Anniversary Special.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: His Top 15 Dub Themes, invoked in-universe. Topping the list was, but of course, ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]''. Nothing specific, just ''Pokémon''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: His "snarktitles" in all of his reviews but ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]''.
* [[Dear Negative Reader]]: Released a full-length one over his Twitter sometime around mid/late-2011 in response to the frequent complaints about his aforementioned ADCD.

** When reviewing the ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'' anime--after eviscerating ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'', ''Eiken'', and ''[[Master of Martial Hearts]]''--he points out he doesn't ''hate'' [[Fan Service]], but is sick of it being used in an incompetent or misogynistic fashion.

* [[Gag Boobs]]: To make fun of the large breasts of one of the main characters in the anime ''[[Grenadier]]'', JO stuffed soccer balls up the top of his T-shirt, and as part of the joke, even balanced a plate of food on them and ate from it.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: JO plays this game a few times, more notably in his review of ''[[Jyu-Oh-Sei|Jyu Oh Sei]]''.
* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: While summarizing ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'', JO went through just about every synonym for [[Panty Shot|underwear]] (and a few breast mentions as well). It underscores that [[This Is Gonna Suck|this review is going to be rough]].

Line 98 ⟶ 99:
** He recently stated on his new Formspring account that they will continue, but they'll come as they're done, like Linkara's [[History of Power Rangers]].
** His "Month of Mayazaki" didn't quite fit in just one month, probably because he was moving IRL at the time.
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: JO forwent his usual "Snark Text" subtitles during his ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' review for fear of damning his eternal soul by making fun of something so depressing.
** Except in one short instance: Lampshading the intentional [[Mood Whiplash]] (From the director of ''[[Fruits Basket]]'', everybody!).
* [[The Smart Guy]]: For the [[Desu Des Brigade]].
Line 104 ⟶ 105:
