Jon Jafari is JonTron, a [[Video Game]] and film critic on [https://web.archive.org/web/20160326055453/http://normalboots.com/author/jontronshow normalboots.com]. Using a cheerful, energetic style and plenty of [[Cutaway Gag|cutaway gags]] and [[Visual Pun|visual puns]], he talks about certain elements of video games, good and bad, and occasionally reviews specific titles. His sidekick is a green parrot named Jacques, who talks in a vaguely robotic voice, has glowing red eyes, and offers stoic commentary to contrast Jon's boundless energy.
Jon Jafari is '''JonTron''', a [[Video Game]] and film critic on the now-defunct [https://web.archive.org/web/20160326055453/http://normalboots.com/author/jontronshow normalboots.com]. Using a cheerful, energetic style and plenty of [[Cutaway Gag|cutaway gags]] and [[Visual Pun|visual puns]], he talked about certain elements of video games, good and bad, and occasionally reviews specific titles. His sidekick was a green parrot named Jacques, who spoke in a vaguely robotic voice, had glowing red eyes, and offered stoic commentary to contrast Jon's boundless energy.


Although Jon sometimes critiques bad video games and bashes them a lot (at times rather harshly), he is ''not'' a [[Caustic Critic]]. He uses a lot less profanity than most others in his profession, and reacts to bad games with exaggerated confusion (and sometimes sadness or disappointment, or less often, outrage). His initial reaction to the nonsense and weirdness in the games he plays is [[Unfazed Everyman|chilled out and accepting]]... until he finally ''snaps'', often with ''hilarious'' results. Jon's most famous video is ''Waterproofing My Life With Flex Tape'', which caught the attention of ''Flex Seal'' and their promoter Phil Swift, which resulted in a sequel called ''Flex Tape II: The Flexening''.
