* [[Genius Ditz]]: Despite his frenetic and slightly spastic persona, Jon has a very good understanding of game theory and will sometimes take a moment to explain exactly why a particularly bad fault is so fatal. For instance, his comments on being able to ignore the complex combo system in''Aquaman'' and win reliably by mashing the A button leads to an explanation of "Dominant Strategy", and the blatant [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] in ''Bubsy 3D'' prompts him to elaborate on [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]] and how such forced self-reference damages it. Since he tends to slow down when explaining these concepts to allow the audience to comprehend what he's saying, he usually lampshades them by shierking [[Large Ham|GAME THEORY TIME!!]] and/or splicing in a [[The More You Know]] type clip. |

[[Rule of Funny|Knowing Jon]], [[Mythology Gag|this was almost undoubtedly intended]]. |

* [[Take That]]: In his review of ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' (even though he ultimately gave the game a score of "A/5"), he mentions that a crucial matter in determining whether or not the game will be good is that the [[Wii]] may not have enough Blast Processing to run it. For those without context, "Blast Processing" is an utterly meaningless term invented by [[Sega]] in the early nineties to promote the [[Sega Genesis]] and ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'', claiming technical superiority over the [[Super Nintendo]]. Jon takes cracks at Sonic Team regularly, but seemingly all in good fun. |

** The entire ''[[Final Fantasy XIII|Final Hallway XIII]]'' sketch. Jon expresses his dislike of the game by means of an ''epic'' parody of [[The Most Dangerous Video Game]] trope. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It really is worth seeing for yourself.]] |

** In ''[http://normalboots.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=474&Itemid=11&lang=en Jon Tron and George Lucas Visit Jupiter]'' he mercilessly (and hilariously) ridicules the idea of going back to previous, finished works and editing them digitally, the way [[George Lucas]] does to the ''[[Star Wars]]'' original trilogy. |
