* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Malkovich

* [[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.

** In the Stairfax Tempratures review, his reaction to the Bamfodad.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: When Hitalia {{spoiler|reveals herself as a Randor}} in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVm5L0_yCSs&feature=context&context=C3a21115UDOEgsToPDskI5obzhG1xyXwtxByLUrnJD Malkovich's Gaming Game Show], she begins speaking in [[Con Lang|a made-up language]] with the occasional made-up word (namely "Malkovich" and "Quarksia") left in English, despite Jon criticizing this exact thing a mere month earlier in his ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'' review. [[Rule of Funny|Knowing Jon]], [[Mythology Gag|this was almost undoubtedly intended]].

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Jacques

* [[Old Shame]]: In spite of it being among his best videos, Jon hates 'Top 10 Overrated Games', and has even taken it off his site.

* [[Robot Buddy]]: It isn't clear whether Jacques is a robot or just a ''very'' peculiar parrot. Out of universe though, he's just a parrot made to seem like a robot in editing.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: His opening.

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

* [[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.]]

* [[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.
