JonTron: Difference between revisions

Line 45:

* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: Jon is somehow able to play Minecraft with a Gamecube controller by putting a Metal Gear Solid box in a Super Nintendo. Eventually lampshaded near the start of his video on the Bubsy series.

* [[Angrish]]: Expect him to fall into this when something particularly stupid happens in a game/movie he's reviewing.

* [[Arc Words]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47YPs-qwNQU&feature=plcp&context=C3d9d5d9UDOEgsToPDskJ_lsVNXGRgKKWlS81r06lY God has come] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=YC8m1gOCppc&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_374271&v=8LPQ6nT4UpA to reap the sinners]. The past handful of episodes have also [[Running Gag|gone out of their way to mention milk that has gone bad]].

Line 59:

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Jacques

* [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]]: [[Parodied Trope|Parodied]]; Jon is seemingly sucked into his ''Joe & Mac'' cartridge, only to reappear in his house a moment later. Jacques asks how he managed to escape.

** [[Brick Joke]]: Turns out the characters from the game can " just leave" too. The episode ends with a dinosaur boss walking into Jon's living room.

* [[Faux Horrific]]: When trying to play ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', it turned out that "The game's playing itself, Jon. ''The game's playing itself, Jon!''"

Line 72:

* [[Malaproper]]: Jon does this constantly as part of his character. Sometimes he makes up for it by adding subtitles... which are ''also'' full of malapropisms.

* [[Metaphorgotten]]: Jon has given us such beautiful similes as claiming that [[Castlevania: The Adventure|Christopher Belmont]] "climbs like frickin' [[Beach Boys]] on a hot summer Sunday" and describing a certain enemy in ''[[Monster Party]]'' as starched white pants "walking around like J. Edgar Hoover on a Tuesday afternoon." To say nothing of his analogy for the resilience of the human spirit in his ''Stairfax Temperatures'' review:

{{quote| '''Jon''': Here I am, a whole year later, still trucking along like a sack of potatoes on a long open road, wishing I'd stopped for gas at the last rest stop, and then on the Interstate 12, he gets hijacked and murdered by a bunch of Quaker ghosts!}}

* [[The Most Dangerous Video Game]]: ''Hilariously'' invoked and parodied in his ''[http://normalboots.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=147&Itemid=11&lang=en Final Fantasy XIII]'' review.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Jacques

Line 85:

* [[Something Completely Different]]: Jon did an episode reviewing The Lost World, this would be the first episode to have nothing to do with video games.

* [[Spinning Newspaper]]: In reaction to ''[[Bubsy]]'' having damage dealt by falling too far without gliding.

"Falling damage in a platformer? There are some things no man should have to see. Nice tits btw" says a melancholy [[Jon Tron]] }}

* [[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.

Line 92:

* [[Top Ten List]]: Though he sometimes does six when he can't think of ten.

* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: In the ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' episode, Jacques dies in a fiery, bloody explosion. A few minutes later, he's back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

{{quote| '''Jon''' (casually): ''Oh hey, Jacques. I thought you died.''}}

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Malkovich apparently enjoys throwing the baby penguins off the cliff in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

* [[Visual Pun]]
