* During the ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' portion of the Top 11 Chaos Fortune Cookie stream, it the finale came down to Jon and The 8-Bit Drummer. Jerod was seconds away from winning after Jon misplays in the Tetris portion...before it shifts to Puyo, where Jon had recently done an All Clear.

->'''Jon:''' [[PostMortemOneLiner I haven't made an attack yet.]] In fact, I can just do that. It's over, buddy! Enjoy!

* Another game Jon tackled for 2019's Game Clearing was ''VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest''. As he explains during his first stream, his original experience with it was soured by how his Xbox One automatically activated its footage recording feature during the EscapeSequence in the Ginso Tree, slowing the game down at a point that requires quick timing and precise movements. Though he managed to get through it, it still caused him to lose interest in continuing. Thus, he chose to give it another chance with the Definitive Edition. Upon reaching the climax of that scene, he gets caught on some thorns and seems doomed to drown, forcing him to start over from the beginning, but [[https://www.twitch.tv/protonjon/clip/CrepuscularBadLorisEleGiggle pulls off a clutch last-second jump]] to secure his escape and put his past problems behind him.

-->'''[[PrecisionFStrike FUCK YOU, SPECIAL STAGE, FUCK YOU!]]'''"

--> '''Chugga:''' Jon uploaded before me? IT REALLY IS THE END OF THE WORLD!

--> The chat loves you, man. If I am the voice of a thousand angels, you are the voice of... a million billion angels.

--> '''Jon''': MOVE BACK YOU IDIOT!
--> '''Jake''': ''(shoots the driver)'' Nope, cause I killed him. ''(gets run over by the truck and stands up)'' Problem? ''(starts shooting enemies casually)''
--> '''Jon''': ''(after a StunnedSilence)'' Are-wh-are you...okay, I guess you're okay, that's good. ''(Jake starts cracking up)'' I saw you get run over by a vehicle, ''and then come out the other side, so I was a little concerned!''

--->'''Jon''': THROUGH THE BUILDING!
--->'''Jake''': That was pretty hot. I'm slightly more attracted to you now, Josh.

--> '''Jewker''': You have no faith in him [Dan]. Let's be honest.
--> '''Jon''': No, I have faith in him. He won the tournament.
* During his 2/22/14 stream, not only does he clear the [[ThatOneLevel Veni, Vidi, Vici jump]] in VideoGame/{{VVVVVV}} for the very first time, but he also manages to plow through the entire regular career of the Wii VideoGame/PunchOut, beating Mr. Sandman ''on his first try''.

---> '''Jon''': "'''''[[LargeHam OH MY GOD, I KILLED A MAN]]!'''''"

** Also the chat who flooded the Website/ScrewAttack twitch chat with support making it almost solely consist of people supporting him
* On the 8/18/2014 Bomberman Act Zero Tournament, [[spoiler: Dan ends up winning the entire tournament AGAIN!]] Then immediately afterwards, not satisfied with his victory, [[spoiler: Dan]] challenges Jon to match for his BAZ Championship[[spoiler: ...which Jon curbstomps him in.]]

* In ''VideoGame/WarioLand'', Jon defeats Zenisuki, the boss of Parsley Woods, with [[spoiler: 10 seconds left on the clock. Even crazier, the coin rush afterwards ends with '''0''' seconds left on the clock, but the win still sticks.]]

-->'''Jon''': [T]he only way I will not finish that [=LP=] [[TakingYouWithMe is if I pass away]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments which means I now have to worry about assassination attempts...]]

-->'''Jon:''' Pay up, Jewker.

* During the 2019 A-Z game clearing stream, game B, ''VideoGame/BangaiO'', proves to be a tough game to beat for no other reason than the SurpriseDifficulty in the [[BulletHell final boss]]. Jon spends the first half of the stream on February 6th, 2019, just wailing away at the boss until he wins. After just about 2-3 hours, however, ''Jon triumphs''. The happiness in his voice is very noticeable and he calls for break just to calm down off the adrenaline... but not before seeing that someone had gifted '''100 gift subs to the chat''' upon clearing.

** And beating GameBoy ''Superman'', in its entirety, ''faster than just one level of Superman 64''.

* In ''VideoGame/WarioLand'', Jon defeats Zenisuki, the boss of Parsley Woods, with [[spoiler: 10 seconds left on the clock.]]

* During the last Cookie stream before Jon gets married to Reese, people kept gifting community subs. How much? '''''ENOUGH TO UNLOCK 6 EMOTE SLOTS.'''''

** As of December 23rd 2018 Jon has not only met the 64 goal, but ''surpassed'' it, completing three more than originally intended.

* During Bomberman Act Zero Night Two, out of a total of 57 games spanning 10 sets, Jon manages to win 28 (just over half) of them. What was second place? Dan The Enigma with five. Even more awesome? Jon wins 9 sets of games in a row out of 10.

* On the 2/11/14 stream, Jon decided to host the first ever Bomberman Act Zero League Tournament. In a tournament lasting over 7 hours, moderator and designated ButtMonkey of Bomberman, Dan The Enigma ends up [[CueTheFlyingPigs winning the entire thing]] after months of [[RunningGag choking]] at the worst possible moment in-game. The best part? [[CurbStompBattle Dan dominated all of his matches with the exception of the semi-finals]]. To say he [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned his happy ending]] would be a bit of an {{understatement}}.

* One of Jon's fans managed to get DC Douglas [[https://youtu.be/lwv5JeoMLTk?t=14361 to ask Jon to give him an egg]] in his Wesker voice.

* During one livestream, a LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} fanboy sends Jon a long-winded FanDumb rant on how he should treat Emile better (based on their interactions on LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys), [[FanMyopia how gloriously amazing of a genius Emile is]], and how Jon's perpetrating a DoubleStandard by giving Emile shit for his quirks while completely tolerating Tim's [[CatchPhrase "In the bathroom!"]] shtick. Jon proceeds to utterly tear the fanboy apart, calling out the guy for hypocritically giving Tim shit for his quirks, before explaining that he sees Emile as a generally likeable person.

* In a mix of awesome, funny and heartwarming, Jon was invited to a Sega Genesis score tournament by Sega as part of the leadup to the release of the [=PS4/X1=] Genesis Collection. During the first round, each player was briefly interviewed, including being asked what game they'd like to see chosen, as Sega would post a poll of games for chat to vote on with the winning game being the game for the round. Funny comes from Jon saying "Gunstar Heroes" while his opponent said "NOT Gunstar Heroes" and the game appeared on the poll. Heartwarming comes from the vote being virtually a blowout in favor of Gunstar Heroes. The Awesome? Jon utterly DOMINATED the round, to a tune of his opponent getting a game over while he went on to beat the stage being played with relative ease.

* In Jon's Easter 2018 stream, the chat somehow ends up producing an ''exact tie'' in the straw poll vote between ''Crazy Taxi 2'' and ''Digimon All-Stars Arena'', so Jon resolves to [[CrazyAwesome play both AT THE SAME TIME]]. What starts out as a joke ends up with Jon managing to ''simultaneously beat a stage in both at once''.

* Crossing over with FunnyMoments, during the "Thrown to the Hounds Edition" Cookie, the last Cookie of the night had the fifth roll (after a string of tactics game-caused rerolls) be ''VideoGame/Superman64''. A faction of chat apparently had enough of causing Jon misery that night and pushed for ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie'' for the Genesis (a mod choice from Little Fu). It started in second place, then gained steady steam, as if this faction of chat wanted to keep the game within Jon's [=LP=], then manages to overtake ''Superman 64'' and push for a '''2% difference''', preventing the game from getting the 1% Pity Cookie slot next Cookie!

* During the "In Defense of Eggs Edition" Cookie, Jon already had a very stressful time with his capture card crapping out on him for about an hour, which was compounded by the urge to attend Splatfest before it ends, barely reaching Egg Defender before it ended. One user picked the very wrong time to be a [[TheGadfly Elitist-in-Jesting]], [[RageBreakingPoint causing Jon to snap]]. The entire chat was cowed as Jon let loose his tirade.

* Singing the entirely of [[Music/JonathanCoulton "Skullcrusher Mountain"]] on TheSpeedGamers. ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF446RD22ec View here.]]) What makes it awesome is the fact that he was ''extremely'' nervous [[PerformanceAnxiety singing it in front of people]], he was shaking throughout the whole thing, and he had to pause several times to regain his composure. Yet [[{{Determinator}} he never gave up, he did it despite his anxiety]], and he even got to show off his rather nice singing voice.

* During his "Democracy in Riot" High Risk Fortune Cookie, through the power of sheer spite against ''[[VideoGame/ClayFighter Clay Fighter: Tournament Edition]]'', Jon slowly yet surely beats the arcade mode in the face of obscene damage scaling that suspiciously scales in favor of the AI (at one point, much his health vanishes in '''2 hits'''), brutal AI on ''normal difficulty'', AND playing with the worst tiered fighter in the game (Blue Suede Goo) for much of the misadventure with a very awkward projectile input! So relieved was he to finally finish the final boss (which he beat on his second try), Jon puts it as #7 of the 64. '''JUST SO HE DOESN'T HAVE TO TOUCH THIS GAME EVER AGAIN.'''

* The ending of the last round of [[PAYDAYTheHeist Payday 2]] from Heist Night.
