== Tropes pertaining to multiple main Guys: ==
== Multiple Runaway Guys ==
* [[Butt Monkey]]:
** [[Nintendo Capri Sun|Tim.]] He -- as Yoshi -- has {{spoiler|been attacked by steam in Luigi's Engine Room, chased by a giant boulder in DK'S Jungle Adventure, bitten by a Pirahna Plant in Peach's Birthday Cake, and eaten by a giant fish on Yoshi's Tropical Island.}}
** He also got the first Game Over in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. And got killed by {{spoiler|the first Goomba.}} [[Casting Gag|Appropriately, he's playing as Luigi.]]
** {{spoiler|Averted in the Mario Kart 64 filler; Tim actually won!}}
** Also, the lone CPU gets this in an actual round. One of the rounds actually has the guys forming an Anti-CPU alliance.
** And now the first death in [[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl.
** Jon as well, mostly during DK's Jungle Adventure. Then Yoshi's Tropical Island. {{spoiler|Then he won.}}
{{quote|'''Jon''': GAAAAAAME!}}
Line 17:
* [[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.
* [[Dream Team]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]:
** Chuggaa has done a couple of them. One of the best ones when he won in a Tug-o-War game.
** [[Nintendo Capri Sun]] also makes a few, often when the other two are yelling.
Line 36:
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Averted in the case of NCS, whom the two others address by his real name, Tim, quite often. Played straight with Chuggaaconroy, even though his real name, Emile, is widely known. And subverted by [[Proton Jon]], whose nickname ''contains'' his real name. ([[Captain Obvious|No, it isn't Proton.]])
{{quote|'''Emile:''' His first name is Proton, his last name is Jon. Plot twist!}}
** Ironically, NCS ''does'' usually call him "Proton" rather than "Jon".
** Finally averted with Chuggaa in New Super Mario Bros. Wii in World 6.
{{quote|'''Jon''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh no, we've said his real name, the Internet is going to freak out.]]<br />
Line 113:
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Man Child]]
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: He is often the one to know the most about the game they're [[L Ping]], and will supply information about the details and background of it as they play.
* [[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 147:
** The latter part of the Subspace LP took place at his home in Canada. Chugga frequently states that he's in "enemy territory", and at one point Jon realizes he can kick Chugga out of his house.
** He even claims he is allowed to deport Chugga from Canada, or at least put him under citizen's arrest.
** In Western Land in ''[[Mario Party]] 2,'' they [[Lampshade]] the rather Canadian way Jon says "No."
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "[[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|GAAAAAAAAME!]]"
** He also seems to be turning "Get off my plane!" and "GO AWAY!" into this.
Line 163:
* [[For the Evulz]]: After getting over Chuggaa nearly giving him a black eye, he's still determined to make Chuggaa use a continue. When asked why, he simply says "Because I can!"
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: During the Smash Bros. filler video, he {{spoiler|beat Chuggaa and Tim, while using a controller he wasn't used to}}.
** During the Tournament, it was revealed that he didn't get a lot of sleep and was tired beforehand. And he {{spoiler|won anyway.}}
* [[The Lancer]]/[[The Smart Guy]]
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Likes to think he is, at least.
Line 223:
* [[The Quiet One]]: A common complaint in the earlier ''Mario Party'' videos is that the normally very talkative NCS was being far too quiet; all three contributors promised that he would come out of his shell in later videos. And so he did, but he's still definitely the quietest of the three.
** He does do a lot of talking, though, but mainly to himself in the background.
** [[Subverted]] twice in the filler videos. In [[Super Smash Bros.]]. his 'Let's get ready to rumble!' was so loud and long it left Jon and Chugga dumbfounded, then {{spoiler|when he won in the lost recording of [[Mario Kart]]}}, his [[Big Yes]] reached [[Large Ham|Chuggaa]] levels of loud.
** And definitely subverted as of Episode 7 of Subspace Emissary -- probably because they are recording at Jon's house and not a hotel, so he doesn't have to worry about waking people up.
*** 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.
Line 311:
* [[The Ace]]: Somewhat; {{spoiler|he made it to the semi-finals through the loser's bracket and was [[Hero-Killer|responsible for the elimination of two main Guys]], so he definitely has enough skill to be classified as this.}}
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: Chuggaa regards him as "The Jesus of Let's Playing" (as [[Slowbeef]] is the God of Let's Playing).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Given [[Retsupurae|what he's made himself known for]], it's not a surprise.
* [[Foreshadowing]] / [[Lying Creator]]: The Guys mentioned at one point that they'd meet up with him, and later it was confirmed he would not be their guest player. And here he is now. Not lying ''per se'', but it was tricky.
