Line 10:
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.
He claims to have been inspired mainly by [[

Line 62:
** [[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!''"
* [[Four Point Scale]]: [[Invoked Trope]] and [[Played for Laughs]]. Jon devised a meaningless ratings system wherein it's actually impossible for a game to receive bad marks, no matter how much he bashed it in his review. ''[[
* [[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.
Line 71:
* [[Large Ham]]: '''Jon'''
* [[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:
{{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.
Line 80:
* [[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.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Initially he uploaded his videos weekly. However, the gap between new videos has gotten bigger and bigger to the point where the series updates monthly these days. However, he's been picking up the pace as of late; the ''[[

* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Malkovich's Gaming Guilty Pleasures''

** 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.
