''[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRunawayGuys The Runaway Guys]'' are a collaborative group of [[Let's Play|Let's Players]] on [[YouTube]], comprising probably ''the'' most popular YouTube LPers: [[Proton Jon]], [[Nintendo Capri Sun]], and [[Chuggaaconroy]]. Chugga is in charge of maintaining the channel, although Jon has made posts and comments for the channel as well. Updates are scheduled to occur every Saturday, though this may change for future LP's.
Their first collaborative Let's Play is of the original ''[[
Most of LP #2 -- ''[[
LP #3 is ''[[
LP #4 is ''[[Mario Party|Mario Party 2]]''. The majority of this LP was recorded at Jon's house. The rest of it was recorded at a hotel during Pax East 2012. They also went through the Mini-Game Coaster.
They had a ''[[Mario Tennis
LP #5 is ''[[
At PAX East 2012, they had their own panel, called ''Thrown Controllers'', a competition in the style of Nick Arcade. Two teams (Team Mario and Team Sonic) take turns answering questions and playing video game challenges, either against each other, solo, or against members of the audience. The final, decisive game was a round of Pong, which was won by {{spoiler|Team Mario}}.
They have a [[Shout-Out]] page [[The Runaway Guys

Line 50:
* [[Big No]]: Chuggaa really goes wild with this trope. It's even gotten to the point where he has admitted it's practically his catchphrase.
* [[Big "What?"]]: Both Chugga and Jon get in on this.
** One of them in [[Mario Party
** NCS ended up bubbling during the second run of level 8-2 in [[New Super Mario Bros Wii
* [[Big Yes]]: Usually, when something good actually happens, Jon or Chugga will shout it.
** Luigi's Engine Room, episode 1 ~ 7:33 probably has the biggest one in the series, so loud ''they had to turn the volume down'':
Line 67:
** Whenever someone makes a reference or shout out, Jon will usually say, "Thanks/Thank you (whatever is being referenced here)." Examples include "Thanks [[Freelance Astronauts|Maxwell]]." and "Thank you, Yu-Gi-Oh!"
* [[Collective Groan]]: Often in response to a pun made by one of the Guys.
* [[Colbert Bump]]: [[Josh Jepson]] saw a lot more publicity following his appearance in the [[
** Several [[L Per]]'s look to be seeing the same perks with the Brawl tournament. They even get little bios of what they LP for the viewers.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Just as bad as in Chuggaa's solo videos. To Tim and Jon's eternal pain.
Line 73:
*** When NCS makes one at the end of Episode 6 (MP), [["Everybody Laughs" Ending|everyone laughs]].
{{quote| Tim: Son of a beach!}}
** In Episode 9 of [[
** Not from one of their official LP's, but it needs to be mentioned. From [http://www.justin.tv/fangamer/b/288157069 this livestream] of Super Mario RPG (Jon playing, Chugga and Tim watching):
{{quote| '''Tim''': [[This Is Sparta|THIS IS STARDA!]]<br />
Line 81:
'''Jon''': "Swear to god, gonna kill you!" }}
** In Subspace, Chugga makes one so bad it gets him ''kicked out of Jon's house''.
* [[Irony]]: In [[
** In [[New Super Mario Bros Wii
* [[Lampshaded Double Entendre]]: There's a lot of this kind of talk, unsurprising considering that both Chugga and NCS are part of the group.
* [[Never Heard That One Before]]: Jon's reaction of "Move faster, Pokey!" is referenced in Mario Party.
Line 97:
** "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" is started by Chugga doing anything Jon finds either sketchy, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|punny]], or [[Epic Fail|made of fail.]]
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: When 3 adults play a multiplayer game where you can [[Troll|screw with your friends' sanity for the sake of your own laughter]], this was bound to happen.
{{quote| '''Jon:''' '''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii|"How many times have I fucking played]] [[Super Mario World (
** At the most, they usually resort to "Damn it!" But even Tim squeezes an actual F-Strike when he loses an intense game of Hot Rope Jump in ''Mario Party 2''. [[Apologises a Lot|He immediately apologizes for it.]]
* [[Running Gag]]: Many. Chugga's bad puns, Jon being an asshole, Press L to P (In The Bathroom!).
Line 103:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The group's name is a reference to the band known as The Runaway Five in [[Earthbound]], which both Tim and Chugga have [[LP|LPed]] in the past.
** [[Proton Jon]] also made a reference to [[This Very Wiki]]!
** This arguably deserves a mention, but [[Sir Ron
** For other shoutouts, check [[The Runaway Guys
* [[Special Guest]]: Since just about every multiplayer game allows up to four players, they attempt to get one to join them for each LP.
** [[Josh Jepson]], playing as Yellow Toad for ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii
** As well as a whole slew of special guests for their Brawl tournament.
* [[Take That]]: Chuggaaconroy LOVES taking shots at [[Proton Jon]] for his updating.
Line 149:
'''Jon''': What kind of human being are you?!<br />
'''Chugga''': One who doesn't watch a lot of movies? }}
* [[Blessed
* [[Book Ends]]: Even lampshaded by Chugga in editing -- the same minigame (Shy Guy Says) was played on the first turn of the first board, and the last turn of the final board {{spoiler|with Chugga as the victor on both}}.
** The LP also ends with the LP'ers talking about how they're "The Runaway Guys" over the opening cutscene.
Line 169:
* [[Call Back]]: "[[Knytt Stories|Don't eat the mushroom]]!"
** "[[Ren and Stimpy|Stimpy!]] [[Proton Jon|I need...]] [[Kaizo Mario World|spackle!]]" <small>(After which, Jon then explains the origins of said quote to his cohorts and the viewers.)</small>
** "[[Chuggaaconroy|Oh my god]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver
** [[The Legend of Zelda:
* [[Casting Gag]]: Jon plays as [[Kaizo Mario World|Mario]]. The three of them clarify that for once, he's not playing as a [[ROM Hack|hacked version]] of Mario.
** Unfortunately, the gag doesn't carry onto the [[New Super Mario Bros Wii
** An ironic one with Chugga, who plays Donkey Kong. DK is a monkey, yet he has the ''least'' number of [[Butt Monkey]] moments.
*** Played straight with a second [[Casting Gag]] with Chugga and Jon together -- Jon is Mario and Chugga is Donkey Kong. In several games, DK is Mario's rival and vice versa.
Line 212:
'''Tim:''' *on the brink of laughing* No comment. }}
** Also how Chugga pronounces Knock Block Tower. It's gets even more racist as the boards go by.
* [[Fictionary]]: Chugga wonders if "[[Donkey Kong 64
{{quote| '''Jon:''' ...Rapanese. ''Rapanese''. I-I'm walking away.}}
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: The only thing that stopped Wario from winning the Bowser's Magma Mountain board was {{spoiler|Chugga having ONE MORE COIN than him, thus letting Chugga win the Coin Star}}.
Line 221:
** And John's languish cries of GAAAMEEE! was said 4 times in a row when first used in Yoshi's Island Adventure.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Invoked in the last part of the LP. "You didn't have ''numbers'' in ''1927''?"
* [[Fun
{{quote| '''Chugga:''' If you see Kay, tell her I said 'hi!'}}
* [[Gang Up
** During the Yoshi board, they decide to gang up on Chuggaa instead.
*** Jon even states that he would even help [[Butt Monkey|Tim]] win just so Chuggaa couldn't.
Line 247:
** Which leads to...
* [[Ironic Echo]]/[[Laser-Guided Karma]]: The very next turn, Chugga gets a [[Scrappy Mechanic|Warp Block]] and switches places with Jon. He also gets a poison mushroom. Naturally, Jon remarks, "HEY, CHUGGA! '''''[[Crowning Moment of Funny|DON'T EAT THE MUSHROOM!]]''''' I HEAR IT'S BAD FOR YOU!"
** [[Zig
** Happens ''[[Running Gag|again]]'' on Peach's Birthday Cake.
*** It [[Running Gag|keeps on happening to him]], and he rarely gets the mushroom.
Line 292:
'''Jon:''' Yeah, that just threw me off guard, actually.<br />
{{spoiler|...In case you were wondering, Chugga just shouted and thought that the censor fit better in editing!}} }}
* [[Stay in
* [[Sure Why Not]]: During a loud bit between Chugga and Jon after the shocking realization of Chugga's [[Epic Win]] at the end of Bowser's Magma Mountain.
{{quote| '''Chugga:''' I won by one coin!<br />
Line 320:
'''Chugga''': "I don't know? ...it's fun?"<br />
'''Jon''': "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|WHAT?!?]]" }}
* [[Throw the Dog
** Also, Jon ''finally'' getting a regular mushroom.
* [[Too Soon]]: When Chuggaa and NCS fall off the slope in Bobsled Run, Jon says afterwards that they had a [[Cool Runnings|Jamaican bobsled accident]], then asks if it's too soon straight after.
Line 349:
** In World 2-3, Jon grabs six Starmen, which prompts this exchange:
{{quote| '''Chugga''': Think you have enough, Jon?<br />
'''Jon''': Nope; [[Epic Fail|making up for]] [[
** In Episode 5, a reference is made to [[Chuggaaconroy|Steve]] [[Pikmin|the Red Pikmin]]. Of course, Chugga doesn't like it.
*** 'Steve' was also alluded to during the Yoshi's Tropical Island run in the Mario Party LP.
Line 369:
** Tim, of all people, seems to lead the group through most of World 8, save for the final boss.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The {{spoiler|third}} attempt at Bowser.
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Remembering too late that there is no 'awesome spin jump' like there was in ''[[Super Mario World (
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: The third Koopaling in the game is actually Lemmy, while Iggy's the boss of a later world. Ironically, those are the two who went through [[Divergent Character Evolution]] in this game, so at least the confusion makes sense.
** But they correct themselves later.
Line 402:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Sometimes someone will have to die in order to get a Star Coin. This can often double as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]], or fail and end in a [[Senseless Sacrifice]].
{{quote| '''Chugga''': I SACRIFICED MYSELF FOR MONEY! I REGRET NOTHING!}}
* [[Hey, That's My Line!]]: In episode 12, Jon and Chugga get into an argument because Chugga keeps saying things Jon said.
** In Episode 15, Chugga starts using Josh's [[Catch Phrase|catch phrases]]. Jon is not amused.
** Inverted in the Episode 7 intro, Jon's upset he DOESN'T have a line to steal
* [[Hoist
** The finale stated that they knocked themselves out of the level by all bubbling at the same time 20 times. Yes, you read that right, Twenty.
* [[Human Shield]]: Chugga does this to Jon in episode 12. Jon was less than pleased, mostly because everyone had just picked up and item that grants invincibility.
Line 418:
* [[It's All About Me]]: Jokingly, on various occasions; one of the guys will say that everything is all right because they survived something, even though the other three are perfectly fine as well.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Near the beginning of World 1-4, [[Proton Jon]] acquires ''two'' Ice Flowers from a ? Block, and proceeds to taunt everyone else, only to get hit by a fish almost immediately thereafter, losing his powerup. [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] when he picks up another ice flower that had fallen ''below the bottom of the screen,'' then [[Double Subversion|doubly subverted]] when he gets hit by the ''next'' fish. All of this happens in the space of about thirteen seconds.
** Jon's attempted [[Taking You
{{quote| ''(After Jon falls into the pit, and he jumps out)''<br />
'''Chugga''': [[Lampshade Hanging|''YEEESSS!! DESERVE!! DESERVE!!''']] }}
Line 436:
''"My mommy always said to say "You're welcome" whenever anyone says "Thank you", so I was being polite!"'' }}
* [[Press X to Not Die]]: At about the 5:18 mark of Episode 12, Chugga says "That's a smart thing to do. Press A to not die".
* [[Power of Friendship]]: After repeated deaths in World 7-6, the Guys only succeed when they start working together. [[Aesop Amnesia|They immediately go back to trying to kill each other afterwards.]] Often after cooperating, Chugga will say "[[Sonic Heroes
** Discussed in episode 16:
{{quote| '''Jon''' The superpower of teamwork isn't going to save us this time!}}
Line 477:
'''Chugga''': [[Insistent Terminology|That's not lava, it's Kool-Aid.]]<br />
'''Josh''': Close enough! }}
** It also doubles as a [[Call Back]] to Jon's LP of [[Super Mario World (
** A few times, they make jokes about the fanboys in their fandom and the kinds of comments they'd leave.
* [[Taking You
* [[Tempting Fate]]: In Episode 5 during the ghost house:
{{quote| '''Tim''': It is not moving!<br />
Line 492:
* [[Throw It In]]: Episode 16's intro.
** Not just episode 16. Judging by most of the Guys' reactions, several episodes have started with a simple joke or quote that dissolved into a series of improvised lines, and almost always a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
* [[Throw the Dog
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Though generally everyone in the group has bouts of sociopathy, Jon is especially dedicated to [[Comedic Sociopathy|making his teammates suffer]]. See the Woobie Destroyer Of Worlds entry on YMMV for details.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Tim and Josh actually seem to improve as the game goes on, and by the end, during the harder stages, they end up helping out quite a bit.
Line 514:
== Super Smash Bros. Brawl ==
=== Subspace Emissary: ===
* [[A Date
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Episode 6 opens with [[Chuggaaconroy]] slipping and falling off the bed when getting in position to record. The rest of the intro involves him, [[Nintendo Capri Sun]], and [[Proton Jon]] arguing over whether or not they're really gonna use it.
* [[Beige Prose]]: [[Proton Jon]] does not waste time in the introduction to Episode 4.
Line 526:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Ike. Not only did he {{spoiler|get killed off for real in the finale, but when Jon plays as him during the Free-For-All match, he loses}}.
* [[Call Back]]: According to Chugga, Tim finally learned how to [[Press X to Not Die|Press A to not die]].
** The guys refer to when Player 2 teleports to player 1 as [[New Super Mario Bros Wii
** Chugga says he hasn't "been this excited since [[Mario Party
** The entire "Meet Josh Jepson" theme from their [[
** Chugga references "MOVE FASTER POKEY" during a chase sequence between Porky and the two Lucases (Chugga and Jon).
** Jon gives up his turn so [[Running Gag|Tim can be Yoshi]].
Line 537:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: The giant, dark [[Donkey Kong Country|Diddy Kong]] attacks Jon and Tim ''while the words 'GET READY' are displaying.''
** '"Get ready, my ass!"'
* [[Crack Pairing]]: Ganondorf x Master Hand, [[In
** [[Nintendo Capri Sun]] x [[Nintendo Capri Sun]]. [[Mind Screw|They've decided he's his own wife]].
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Throughout Subspace Emissary, Chugga tended to play rather poorly. However, during the Free-For-All match, he wins against both Jon and Tim. Twice.
Line 575:
{{quote| '''Chugga''': See? When you make bad puns, you get punished!}}
* [[Late to The Punchline]]: In episode 8, Tim missed Wario in a cutscene and Chugga's response to that was "Doh!". The next twenty seconds or so of the commentary is Jon trying to figure out the joke.
* [[Made of Explodium]]: Chugga gets blown up ''a lot'' during episode 2. Justified, as [[Hoist
** It happens to him again in episode 4 and ends up giving them a [[Game Over]].
** Chugga continues the trend in episode five by getting hit by almost every missile fired by a R.O.B. Blaster, and Tim joins in on the fun by getting hit by almost every enemy thrown explosive.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: In episode 10, Chuggaa makes a [[
* [[Never Live It Down]]: [[In
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: NCS wanting to play as the "pretty princess" Zelda.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Chugga [[Wild Mass Guessing|theorizes that]] this is the case for [[Ice Climbers|Nana]], and that every time she dies her mother has another girl named Nana who looks exactly the same. Jon is understandably [[Squick|horrified]] at this train of thought when Chuggaa points out this means their mother would have to be pregnant and give birth every five minutes.
Line 591:
* [[Say My Name]]: In Episode 15. ''"Tim!"''
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Chugga won't stop saying "and" at the end of Episode 3, Jon references the Tally Hall song, "&." He is a big fan of the band, according to [https://twitter.com/#!/Proton_Jon/status/174543450639831040 this tweet].
* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Everyone treats each other normally again, as opposed to being at each others' throats like at the end of [[New Super Mario Bros Wii
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Likely an unintentional example, but knowing [[Pungeon Master|Chugga]], you never know:
{{quote| '''Jon''': *is hanging from a ledge* I'm just hanging around. Literally. *[[Laser-Guided Karma|gets attacked by a Glunder]]*<br />
'''Chugga''': See? When you make bad puns, you get ''pun''ished! }}
* [[Take That]]: During the opening cutscene of The Jungle (the first level to feature Donkey Kong and Diddy), the guys get in several potshots against the DKC cartoon.
** Jon takes a shot at [[
{{quote| '''Jon''': I have to charge up a bit, hang on. *starts spamming Fox's "charging" taunt* I've gotta be here for... about 25 minutes, and when the credits start playing, I'll be ready to fight.}}
** Annoyed at the Great Maze's constant [[Back Tracking]], Chugga sarcastically quips "This is a great idea, it worked so great in [[Devil May Cry|Devil May Cry 4]]."
Line 607:
** Every comment that Chugga makes on Tim's skills is bound to be this.
* [[Third Person Person]]: Jon's portrayal of Captain Falcon.
* [[Throw the Dog
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Chugga, as Pikachu, keeps using Thunder on Metal Primids, who automatically reflect energy attacks. This results in the guys getting a [[Game Over]].
* [[Trainwreck Episode]]: Much of episode 14.
Line 653:
** Also, {{spoiler|if Jon didn't steal Chuggaa's star and went for Tim, he probably wouldn't have won.}}
* [[Groin Attack]]: Chugga throws his controller at the end of Bowser Land, and nails Jon.
* [[Hope Spot]]: Jon and Tim each get one on Pirate Land. Jon was worried that Chugga would use Boo to steal his Star on the last turn if Chugga rolls a high roll, which would give him the board. Chugga didn't make it, to Jon's relief. {{spoiler|And then Chugga found a Hidden Block, which gave him both the star and the game anyways! Chugga even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded it.]]}} Meanwhile, a star appeared just a few spaces in front of Tim. Said star would [[Throw the Dog
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Computer-controlled Wario, when he has an opportunity to fire torpedos from Jon's submarine. "Doh, I missed" is an understatement here.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: A small example. After Jon got a star, the next star space appeared right on the space where Tim was, meaning Tim had no chance to get that and he would have had to make an entire trek around the board if he wanted that star.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Jon becomes this throughout Mystery Land. With [[Awesome Moments|good]] [[Born Lucky|reason.]]
* [[The Problem
* [[The Load]]: Wario often never helps much in 2-vs-2 minigames.
* [[Opposite Day]]: In-universe, they refer to Bowser Land as the board version of this: The bank gives coins instead of taking them (with the caveat that whoever lands on the space pays them back), the item shop forces items on you, Baby Bowser is the host instead of Toad, etc. It's also kind of opposite on a meta level for the guys: [[Butt Monkey|Tim]] spends most of the game in first place and gets really lucky, they play almost every Battle Minigame ''except'' [[Overly Long Gag|Day at the Races]], and [[Deadpan Snarker|Jon]] is more cheerful generally, while [[Keet|Chugga]] is more sarcastic.
* [[Out of Character]]: Chugga and Jon, as listed above, basically swap personalities on Bowser Land; Chugga becomes more sarcastic and annoyed, while Jon becomes cheerful and upbeat. However, they do occasionally lapse into their regular roles.
** Tim has his occasional moments of yelling, such as an [[Ironic Echo]] "WHERE YOU AT!" in Pirate Land.
* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]: In-series. During the Mini-game Coaster, Chugga and Jon were both amazed that Chugga knew the song "One Week" by the [[Barenaked Ladies]]. Jon then asked if Chugga knew it because of the [["Weird Al" Yankovic|Weird Al]] song. {{spoiler|He did.}}
** Chuggaa also thought that Tom Clancy was a game designer rather than an author, not knowing that the games were based off his books.
* [[The Power of Hate]]: In the final game of the Mini-game Coaster, the Guys have trouble beating the Baby Bowser Bunch in a three-on-one game of Shell Shocked. Once Jon battles them a second time, Chugga suggests he pretends they're him. Jon proceeds to win, without taking a single hit.
Line 686:
** Not to mention that NCS stayed as first place for the ''majority'' of Bowser Land {{spoiler|until Jon won at the end.}}
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Referring to his [[Catch Phrase]] of "Press L to P!", Chugga says partway through Bowser Land that he has to "go press L" before going to the bathroom.
* [[Waxing Lyrical]]: At the end, Tim starts speaking the lyrics to [[Portal (
* [[Your Mom]]: Chugga begins Horror Land with by insulting Jon's mother.
Line 706:
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: When they play Ninja Dojo, Jon notes that Meta Knight was already awesome, and giving him Ninja Stars just makes him even more awesome.
* [[Irony]]: Chugga states he's not a fan of Kirby games, with this game being a rare exception. Despite this, he apparently did the best in their practice, which is why he plays as Kirby.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: Chuggaa has this for '''[[Youtube Poop]]''' of all things.
* [[Out-of-Character Moment]]: [[Nice Guy|Tim]] does quite a bit more [[Deadpan Snarker|snarking]] this time around.
Line 736:
** [[Josh Jepson]] as well, getting beaten in the preliminaries by Jon and in the first loser's bracket round by Chugga, with neither of them breaking a sweat.
* [[Crisis Crossover]]: Of Let's Players.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: During the match between Tim and Donna on [[Metal Gear Solid|Shadow Moses Island,]] [[Metal Gear Solid 1|Metal Gear REX]] appears in the background. When Tim asks what it is, Chugga, who is [[M Cing]], states that it is a [[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots|Gecko.]] This is [[Justified Trope|justified,]] as Chugga admits that he's never played a [[Metal Gear Solid]] game.
* [[Ending Fatigue]]: [[In
* [[Even Nerds Have Standards]]: Jon reacts this way when Chugga starts wondering if [[Slowbeef]] is basically the God of Let's Playing and Diabetus is Jesus.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: Donnabellez says her loss to Jon was this, since Jon is a pro at the game and she hadn't played it in a long time.
Line 745:
* [[Irony]]: Tim, who normally is Yoshi, plays as Diddy Kong, while Donnabellez plays as Yoshi instead. Later, Tim fights Donna, meaning he's basically fighting his usual main. {{spoiler|He wins, too}}.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Jon dies almost instantly after noticing he had 69 damage and commenting on it.
* [[Like a God
* [[Out of Focus]]: Due to the way it works, each of the main three Guys has least one video where they're either absent or not saying anything at all.
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: A couple:
{{quote| '''SuperJeenius''': (to Chugga) Goodbye. Nice knowing you.<br />
'''Chugga''': (to Josh) FIRE YUMS, BALLS! <ref>He then proceeds to kill Josh with a flaming soccer ball, for those wondering how this counts.</ref> }}
* [[Running Gag]]: Take a drink everytime [[Mother 3
** Also, every time NCS is MC, the tournament gets a new name
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Lucahjin comments how she is "going to die in two seconds" at the start of her first match. She then almost instantly falls off the stage and dies.
Line 758:
=== Mario Power Tennis: ===
* [[A Date
{{quote| '''JP''': [[Sarcasm Mode|That's a cheap shot! Proton Jon cheats!]]<br />
'''Jon''': [[Throw It In|I do cheat, actually.]] But no one's ever caught me. Until now. How dare you ruin my...<br />
'''JP''': No one's ever caught you? What about [[Your Mom
'''Jon''': [[Noodle Incident|Uh...we don't talk about that anymore.]] }}
* [[Anticlimax]]: Jon Paula was likely the guest most fans were excited about...and he's the first one knocked out, beaten by [[Proton Jon]] in the very first match. Since this is single elimination and not double, that means he was out of the tournament less than five minutes in.
Line 767:
** [[Josh Jepson]] also attempts a voice but ends up (according to [[Lucahjin]]) sounding like [[Pcull 44444]].
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: There were a few one-sided matches. However, {{spoiler|1=Chugga to ProtonJon}} takes the cake, as the latter is the only receiver who didn't score!
* [[One Steve Limit]]: The first game is a match between [[Proton Jon|Jon]] and [[Is It a Good Idea
{{quote| '''(Proton) Jon:''' It's JP versus PJ. It's [[Cool vs. Awesome|Jurassic Park versus pajamas.]]}}
* [[The Last of These Is Not Like the Others]]: It's the last game the Guys are doing in a row that is a Mario game (or has Mario as a major character), and instead of being a regular [[Let's Play]], it's a tournament.
Line 784:
** Quite a few in the Mario Kart 64 video. Among them were "I'm witnessing something", "Press L to P", and their "thing" conversation.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Chuggaa vs. Tim. To Jon and Chuggaa's surprise, this is [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] when Tim is able to hold his own against Jon for a while.
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: Several instances of the Guys attributing ''Brawl'' mechanics to the original [[
** Jon has to learn to use a Wii Classic Controller while playing the final match.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark Horse Victory]]: Tim absolutely curbstomping Jon and Chuggaa in ''Mario Kart'', including on Rainbow Road.}}
