History Creator / MichaelJones

* TheAce: In Ultimate Chicken Horse, other platformers and, ironically enough, games that require timing.

* FaceOfAThug: He's a nice guy, but his normal facial expression is intense enough to intimidate some people. Blaine admitted on the RT podcast that while he does like Michael, he's also scared of him.

* DarkHorseVictory: In the last round of "Let's Play ''WWE '13''", Michael's relatively small character, dizzy and near defeat, is one of two wrestlers in the ring, other than [[TheAce Ray's much bigger character.]] Long story short, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spidey]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome successfully takes down Ray Narvaez, Sr. on his own.]] They had gotten rid of Geoff's Corpirate earlier on, as the corporate pirate won both of the previous two bouts.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: He loves Joe the Cat and cats in general. And dogs too- his [[https://twitter.com/AH_Michael/status/247738824132788224 tweet]] that came after his dog died was a TearJerker and SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

* TheHyena: Not to the extent of Geoff or Gavin, but when Michael is not angry or tense, he has a distinctive cackle that can be more or less described as the personification of "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA".

* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Geoff, some of the time. Again, PlayedForLaughs.

* '''NoIndoorVoice''': He is without a doubt the loudest Achievement Hunter and the most prone to shouting. In an RT Life video, this is taken UpToEleven as nobody else in the nearby rooms can work without hearing him rage. On an episode of ''The Patch'', Burnie noted that despite being several rooms away, they could hear him screaming. Ryan mentioned that Michael can overcome sound-proofing.

* '''SirSwearsALot:''' Dear fuck, he's foul-mouthed.

-->-- '''Michael''' imitating Music/RandyNewman's [[Series/{{Monk}} ''It's a Jungle Out There'']]

** "Yid Army!" (This one originated with Gavin.)

* ChewingTheScenery: Almost literally. He has confessed to breaking headsets or denting controllers from time to time. There is even an RT Life about him disrupting everybody's work by shouting loudly. [[https://youtu.be/0pMJD5ztEMY?t=12m22s According to Ryan]], Michael can defeat any form of sound-proofing if he wants to.

** Team Betting Buddies[[labelnote:*]] Formerly Team [[HairTriggerTemper Angry]] [[FormerlyFat Fat]][[/labelnote]] with Jack Pattillo, because they always place a maxed bet on themselves in [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA Online]] races.

** He also pretty much carried the rest of the team through ''VideoGame/{{Mari0}}'', despite falling into portals ''a lot'' of the time.

* DarkHorseVictory: In the last round of "Let's Play ''WWE '13''", Michael's relatively small character, dizzy and near defeat, is one of two wrestlers in the ring, other than [[TheAce Ray's much bigger character.]] Long story short, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spidey]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome successfully takes down Ray Narvaez, Sr. on his own.]]

* HulkingOut: When he and Gavin discuss how "Mogar" works, Michael describes it as a transformation into a berserker-bear.

* RhymesOnADime: During AH's streams of ''Sea of Thieves'', Michael was commonly seen using his Concertina and spontaneously creating and singing poems about the group's adventures. All the while talking like a pirate.

** ''Minecraft'' doors randomly slamming in his face when he tries to go through 'em.

* SureLetsGoWithThat: At the end of "Lava Wall", Team Lads is seen celebrating their victory. As they do, Jack asks if that means Gavin's back on the team. Michael responds that, sure, it was only a temporary thing.

* TemptingFate: Confused Gavin for a real Creeper in ''Let's Play Minecraft'' episode 30. Immediately thereafter, [[SpeakOfTheDevil an actual Creeper shows up]], which Michael confuses for Gavin.

Outside of Rooster Teeth, he ran a podcast called the ''Podcast/InternetBox'' (which other Rooster Teeth members appear on), provides his voice as Sting Eucliffe for Creator/{{FUNimation}}'s dub of ''Anime/FairyTail'', and made appearances in Creator/TheFineBrothers' ''[=YouTubers=] WebVideo/{{React}}''. He is also married to fellow AH employee Lindsay Jones (née Tuggey) and they had their first child on May 24, 2017, a beautiful daughter named [[https://twitter.com/AH_Michael/status/867637282010001409 Iris Elise Jones.]] Their second child, [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BuC8VDPBE1j/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=1w0o60pb59zat Luna Claire Jones]], was born February 18th, 2019.[[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] also has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jones_(actor) an article about him.]]

* HappilyMarried: He and Lindsay have a very loving relationship and enjoy insulting and making fun of each other. Their shared sense of humor is so alike that in ''Quiplash 2'', [[https://youtu.be/Bi-TElFpwoY?t=27m55s they put in the same answer.]]

* MotorMouth: He tends to dominate conversations on podcasts and during Let's Plays. Burnie once described him as a guy who likes to talk (to the point of being one of the few people at the company that could talk on-camera indefinintely) and is used to being the only one in the room talking.

Michael Vincent Jones (born July 24, 1987) is an American actor who works for Creator/RoosterTeeth Productions, mainly for their Creator/AchievementHunter division. Originally from Woodbridge, New Jersey, Jones first gained attention on Website/{{Reddit}} for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egxjuLkhXUw a video of him getting frustrated at]] ''VideoGame/{{Crackdown}} 2'', which led to his employment by Rooster Teeth. From there he started ''Rage Quit'', a series [[RageQuit named after the trope]] which he complains about frustrating video games until he, of course, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin quits in rage]]. In Achievement Hunter, he is the ''de facto'' leader of Team Lads, which includes himself, Creator/GavinFree, and (until April 2015) Creator/RayNarvaezJr, the last of whom Michael was already friends with well before their employment. Within the rest of Rooster Teeth, he appears in ''WebVideo/{{Immersion}}'' (as a test subject alongside Free), ''WebVideo/TenLittleRoosters'' (as [[AdamWesting a fictionalized version of himself]]), ''WebAnimation/CampCamp'' (as Max), ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' (as Sun Wukong), ''Film/LazerTeam'' (as Zach) and ''WebAnimation/XRayAndVav'' (as Mogar).

* {{Joisey}}: He was originally from New Jersey before he moved to work at Rooster Teeth full time. He sometimes brings it up in videos. During their Olympics Let's Play, Michael claimed to be representing "the country of New Jersey" (Italy), the flag of which is, according to him, a picture of Creator/DannyDeVito drinking a beer. In the Podcast, he mentions how the politeness of Texans weirds him out because he's used to everyone being {{Jerkass}}es in New Jersey. He also mentions that he lost his accent from when he first started making videos; he would re-watch his work to find areas he could improve and learned to enunciate his words better as a result.

!!Tropes about this actor include:

* MotorMouth: He tends to dominate conversations on podcasts and during Let's Plays. Burnie once described him as a guy who likes to talk and is used to being the only one in the room talking.

Outside of Rooster Teeth, he runs a podcast called the ''Podcast/InternetBox'' (which other Rooster Teeth members appear on), provides his voice as Sting Eucliffe for Creator/{{FUNimation}}'s dub of ''Anime/FairyTail'', and made appearances in Creator/TheFineBrothers' ''[=YouTubers=] WebVideo/{{React}}''.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The [=McRib=], if the two Youtube videos dedicated to it are any indication.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: He's very nice when away from games, When he ''is'' gaming, he goes crazy. He ''is'' aware of how loud everyone finds him and tries to record ''Rage Quit'' when most people have left the office as a courtesy. He also says he does not like doing the whole ''Rage Quit'' thing in front of kids, particularly as he knows they shouldn't be watching it.
** Compare his attitude in ''Let's Play Minecraft'' episode 3 (when Achievement City debuts) to his attitude in ''anything'' else. It's almost surprising to see how nice he's being, since there's no competition going on and he's being grateful to Gavin as opposed to being pissed off at him as usual.
** In his "King Michael" episode of ''Let's Play Minecraft'', he's very much TheGoodKing and a genuine NiceGuy throughout the episode, as he's the GM instead of a competitor. He still showed frustration when people defied him, but this happened rarely since pleasing the king usually got them tangible rewards. It helps that he was deliberately trying to distance himself from the [[TheCaligula Mad King]] image that Ryan has going.
** Compare his attitude with Gavin in the ''VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013'' videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2F3ZWEEbF4 here]] (a ''Rage Quit'' episode) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Obj96ErmxQ here]] (a standard Let's Play). It's evident that Michael scales up his anger greatly on-camera for ''Rage Quit'', as he treats Gavin like he does in real life during the latter, though still expressing frustration when Gavin does screw up.

* DarkHorseVictory: In the last round of "Let's Play ''WWE '13''", Michael's relatively small character, dizzy and near defeat, is one of two wrestlers in the ring, other than [[TheAce Ray's much bigger character.]] Long story short, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spidey]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome successfully takes down Ray Narvaez, Sr. on his own.]]

* FriendToAllLivingThings: He loves Joe the Cat and cats in general. And dogs too- his [[https://twitter.com/AH_Michael/status/247738824132788224 tweet]] that came after his dog died was a TearJerker and HeartwarmingMoment.

* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Is definitely this for Gavin whenever they partner up as Team Nice Dynamite or Team Lads (along with Ray). In the Potions Let's Play, Michael is basically Gavin's bodyguard and babysitter as he tries to keep Gavin out of trouble long enough for them to win.
