* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Many of the series and videos are of this type to some extent.
** The award-winning ''VideoGame/HalfLife2: Anxiety/Nightmare'' are billed as "[[Creator/AlfredHitchcock Hitchcock]] meets ''Half-Life''".
** ''Gman Squad'' is a SketchComedy initially billed as ''Film/ReservoirDogs'' meets an InJoke about the barely-played ''Half-Life Deathmatch: Source'', but is ultimately just ''[[Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob Tim & Eric]]'' with InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals.
** ''VideoGame/{{Counter-Strike}} [[LighterAndSofter for Kids]]''. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin What else is there to say?]]

Hey Its That Guy cut by TRS decision. Ditto for Hey Its That Voice.


* HeyItsThatVoice: Only really works with people who are machinima fans, but this is pretty much the only way one can identify individual members when IAmNotSpock among InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Only really extends to the edges of Janus filmography, but pretty much the only way one can identify individual members when IAmNotSpock. Especially maddening because this group, need we remind you, specializes in {{Machinima}}.
* LargeHam: Crackbone and boris.

Added DiffLines:

The [[http://www.youtube.com/jsxanatos Janus Syndicate]] is one of the unsung groups of geniuses in the world of {{Machinima}}, [[CatchPhrase ya faggot!]]

They were founded in 2005 out of the ''[[VideoGame/GoldenEye1997 GoldenEye:]] [[FanRemake Source]]'' mod by regular player [[AllLowercaseLetters boris]] and PR manager/trailer producer Xanatos, and immediately built up a core group of friends making videos for a living for the next 5 years.

Their most notable works include ''Gman Squad'', ''Counter-Strike for Kids'', and ''Source Wars'', all [[AffectionateParody Affectionate Parodies]].

!!!Tropes that are associated with the group:
* ArtEvolution: Over time, Xanatos has improved the quality and fidelity of their videos. A notable shift took place when he was invited to the Machinima.com director's program around 2008.
* ComicalOverreacting: This is a frequent occurrence both in and out of the videos.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Only really extends to the edges of Janus filmography, but pretty much the only way one can identify individual members when IAmNotSpock. Especially maddening because this group, need we remind you, specializes in {{Machinima}}.
* LargeHam: Crackbone and boris.
* PromotedFanboy: There have been some instances in Janus' later years in which extras were called upon from the fanbase, including the ''Gman Squad'' Initiation Contest.
* RapidFireComedy: Even with the early productions being mostly improv, this is prevalent.
* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: Xanatos is a fan of such groups as Music/TheBeatles, and frequently used such songs in his videos before being recruited by Machinima.com.
* XMeetsY: Many of the series and videos are of this type to some extent.
