Line 35:
* [[Media Research Failure]]: His "review" of the film ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]''.
* [[Persona Non Grata]]: Mounting pressure from victims of mass shootings along with Jones's tendency to sow discord against minorities and people of other faiths forced social media outlets and web services to ''permanently ban'' Jones and InfoWars. Facebook, [[Apple]], YouTube, [[Spotify]], [[Periscope]], [[Roku]] and [[Twitter]] removed all of Jones's accounts and content posted by him or his affiliates, to name a few. Online payment service PayPal wanted nothing to do with him either. The official InfoWars mobile apps were also removed from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, in the latter case only in March 2020 because of lies and misinformation Jones circulated about the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. [[The Other Tropes Wiki]] also banned his article from being made as the site's [[Censorship Bureau]] deemed him untropeable despite having a similar article on fellow conspiracy theorist [[David Icke]].
** Not to mention, one of his fans who was caught making death threats to the parents of Sandy Hook victims was forbidden from ever logging onto InfoWars, as part of her plea bargain.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: Possibly used against him in the rotoscoped film ''[[Waking Life]]''. In it, he is shown yelling one of his monologues over a car loudspeaker, while the animation slowly increases his skin hue to brighter, darker shades of red. This could just be a simple exaggeration used in many pieces of animation, or a reference to the ''imprisoned psychopath'' who is shown in the same way earlier in the movie while he loudly and publicly devises the ''most harmful and painful way to kill the people who got him into prison in the first place''.
* [[Too Soon]]: ''Defied.'' Many times:
*
** Still, he [[Sarcasm Mode|had enough decency to wait]] a day after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death before claiming she had died in a [[Human Sacrifice| ‘blood sacrifice’]] to get out the vote for Democrats.
** Worst of all, his accusations against the parents of Sandy Hook victims started ''a day'' after the tragedy happened.
* [[We ARE Struggling Together!]]: An attempted collaboration with fellow conspiracy loony Jeff Rense resulted in a very vicious falling out between the two, mainly because both of them suspected the other of being a double agent for the 'other side'.
