Jon Jafari is JonTron, a [[Video Game]] critic on [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.

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.

* [[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.
