Line 1:
{{
[[The Runaway Guys]] is a collaboration between [[Chuggaaconroy]], [[Proton Jon]], and [[Nintendo Capri Sun]]. They [[Let's Play]] games together, and plan to have a special guest for most of their projects. There are many tropes about them, now the player-specific tropes go here.
Line 13:
{{quote|'''Jon''': GAAAAAAME!}}
** [[Chuggaaconroy]] has spells of being this every now and again, so that practically makes ''everyone'' these.
** In ''[[
** A large portion of the Great Maze in Subspace Emmissary can be summed up by "''TIIIM!''"
* [[Chromatic Arrangement]]: Both in terms of characters in New Super Mario Bros and of names in Brawl, Chugga is Red (He's called the fearless leader), Jon is Blue (He's shown to be better at the games than the other two, while knowing the most,) and Tim is Green (The most laid-back and gentle of the three). Josh even fulfills the Yellow fourth member part of the trope.
Line 68:
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: He has a habit of being distracted, such as pointing out how nice the background looks, while in the middle of gameplay.
* [[Attention Whore]]: Unable to let anyone else speak for more than a few seconds before interuppting them, constantly screaming over the other players and adamantally refuses to let anyone else be Player 1. Wouldn't be nearly as bad if it weren't for the fact that if anyone [[Sarcasm Mode|dares]] to call him out on it, be they a fan or a fellow Runaway Guy, [[Fan Dumb|they're immediately branded a hater and abused by almost all of Chuggaa's fanbase.]]
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: When Jon and Tim are asked on their formsprings what they genuinely like about Emile, they both say this is one of his best traits [http://www.formspring.me/PJon/q/319603890112703120 here]{{Dead link}} and [http://www.formspring.me/BreakingNCS/q/319942053163183810 here.]{{Dead link}} Since he's the one who [[Mr. Exposition|provides detailed information on every game]] and edits all the videos, this is to be expected.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Steve, as usual.
* [[Better Than a Bare Bulb]]: If there is any form of coincidence, irony, or status quo change in either the game or with the three of them, Chuggaa ''will'' point it out sooner or later.
Line 100:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: He's on the delivering side in Mario Power Tennis, constantly. He was one of the only ones to practice, though.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Almost as much as Jon.
* [[Determinator]]: According to [http://www.formspring.me/PJon/q/329394223721759303 Jon's Formspring]{{Dead link}}, Chuggaa ''really'' wanted to be Player 1 in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' since the three of them hadn't changed player numbers since the beginning, despite not being terribly good at the game. So he allegedly powered his way through the game in order to prove to Jon that he was capable of being Player 1. And he was, once the project began.
* [[Doing It for the Art]]: Volunteered to partake in [[Mario Party|control stick]] [[Scrappy Mechanic|spinning]], despite the fact that none of the guys had to, just so the viewers would enjoy it.
* [[Double Standard]] / [[Fantastic Racism]]: Played to very humorous effect and lampshaded every single time.
Line 113:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Man Child]]
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: He is often the one to know the most about the game they're
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Utterly ''screams'' whenever something really good or bad happens.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Subverted over the course of the Runaway Guys as a whole. Jon refers to him as Emile more often over time. Tim mostly just responds to others, therefore doesn't call the others by any name.
Line 138:
One of the three main Runaway Guys, Jon is also a great player, but is usually messed up by [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|the game]] or Chuggaa. Tends to act like he's [[Surrounded by Idiots]]. In Mario Party 1, Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party 2, he played Mario, in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, he played Blue Toad, in Super Smash Bros, he played Captain Falcon, and in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, he played as Meta Knight.. In the [[Tournament Arc]] in Super Smash Bros Brawl, he played Ike, and in [[Mario Tennis|Mario Power Tennis]] he played Luigi.
* [[The Ace]]: Although [[Mario Party|bad luck]] or [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii|his teammates]] tend to screw him over. {{spoiler|Cemented when he won the Brawl [[Tournament Arc]]}}. Subverted in the Mario Tennis arc, where he {{spoiler|was the very second loser}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: His old catchphrases, such as "Move faster Pokey".
** Insulting his mother is shown to be one in the first episode of Horror Land.
Line 174:
* [[Take That, Audience!]]: Chuggaa has his fun sometimes, but Jon makes fun of the [[Fan Dumb]] among the Guys' fanbase more than anyone else.
* [[Third Person Person]]: When playing as Captain Falcon in ''Brawl''.
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: During [[
* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: Goes from somewhat annoyed with Chugga in ''Mario Party'' to outright trying to kill him (and occasionally Josh) in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Even more after Chugga accidentally gives him a black eye.
** He goes back to "normal" in ''Subspace Emissary'', though he still tries to annoy Chugga whenever possible.
Line 227:
*** Jon also mentions in his interview with LPCatchPhrases that NCS is a generally quiet and shy person, so part of it is probably him warming up to his new team members.
* [[Some Call Me... Tim]]: Literally.
* [[Took a Level
** While still the only one to never win a match, he did KO Jon once or twice during the Smash Bros. filler video, and then {{spoiler|won Rainbow Road during the Mario Kart video}}.
** He's also gotten ''loads'' better as of ''Mario Party 2''. However, due to Jon and Chugga also being a bit better and luck usually not going in his favour, this tends to not show as well as it should.
Line 237:
{{quote|"[[Mondegreen|Geez it's thrusting!/Jesus frosting!]]"}}
The special guest Runaway Guy during the [[
* [[Berserk Button]]: People making fun of his name by connecting him to [[The Jetsons|George Jetson]].
Line 256:
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Not much worse than the other three, but is the quickest to resort to the [[Precision F-Strike]].
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: When Chuggaa won't make a pun, Josh will.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Lava]]
