** Joanne, the protagonist of the hypothetical [[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo Part 9,]] looks like a mixture of Jolyne and Giorno. Her KidSidekick is reminiscent of Emporio, with a cow-print outfit similar to Rikiel's. The second villain she encounters has a design similar to Donatello Versus.

* {{Expy}}: The lord in the Fire Emblem video resembles [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Lyn, especially her hair,]] and has [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy's comically late promotion.]]

* AffectionateParody: It's clear that Jello loves the series he's making fun of, aside from a few criticisms. The sole exceptions are ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', and ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''.
** With ''Adventure Time'', Jello finds that Finn, Jake, and Princess Bubblegum are unsympathetic leads, the humor is awkward and stupid, the excessive ToiletHumor is annoying, the show [[AbortedArc doesn't conclude character arcs]], and it focuses too much on romantic subplots. Jello much rather prefers the stories of the tertiary cast over the main story.
** With ''Kingdom Hearts'', Jello believes that the series' infamous KudzuPlot makes it basically impossible to understand, the fact that the characters seem to [[AssPull pull sudden plot developments out of nowhere]] makes it annoying, and that the HoYay implications between multiple characters (Sora and Riku especially) are impossible to ignore. To prove the first point, Jello replaces the word "darkness" with the word "bees" throughout the video, saying that it makes just as much sense as the actual plot.[[invoked]]
** With ''RWBY'', Jello finds that the show has too many plotlines that [[AbortedArc go nowhere]]. Jello argues that the show has too many characters and no idea what to do with any of them (especially singling out Blake as being bland and uninteresting). Jello saves most of his main criticisms for the plot, saying it takes forever for the main plot to start, tries to paint Ozpin as morally grey and fails at it, and doesn't do sufficient world building for a world that really needs it. He feels the pacing of the first three volumes is flawed such that it's best to view them all as one long season, and he then says to avoid volumes 4 and 5 altogether as they are garbage.

* RunningGagStumbles: In the ''Adventure Time'' video, the jackhammer gag is turned on its head by having Jake the Dog be the one to use it on something (specifically, a worm).

* SeasonalRot: InUniverse:

** [[invoked]] When talking about [[ScrappyMechanic bad mechanics]] in the ''Zelda'' games, Jello mentions "the entirety of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]''" as one. He also mentions the ''Literature/HyruleHistoria'' timeline as something that "makes everything worse" and thus should be [[FanonDiscontinuity ignored]], fitting with the video showing the cast as composites of all their appearances.

** "So This is Basically ''Persona 5''" was sponsored by Atlus, the creators of the ''Persona'' series. The whole video is an AffectionateParody of ''Persona 5'', but Jello was still essentially paid by Atlus to roast their game. ** Ditto with his NIS America/Falcom sponsored ''Trails of Cold Steel'' episode.

* BitingTheHandHumor: "So This is Basically ''Persona 5''" was sponsored by Atlus, the creators of the ''Persona'' series. The whole video is an AffectionateParody of ''Persona 5'', but Jello was still essentially paid by Atlus to roast their game.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: In the ''Adventure Time'' episode, Jello claims that Adventure Time's writers come up with endings by [[PasteEater eating glue]] and writing down whatever they see.

** In his ''Kingdom Hearts'' video, aside from not liking the series in general very much, one of the lingering questions he thinks people may have is "Why does [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded Re:coded]] exist?"
** The ''Star Vs The Forces Of Evil'' video has several of these aimed at the show's first season. He calls Ferguson and Alfonso so boring and terrible that he doesn't even remember their names and asks why the network didn't think that the female leads Jackie and Jana were better characters and didn't give as much focus on them from the start. He finishes the video by praising the third season being more plot-focused, and hopes it doesn't go back to the bad stuff or focus on irrelevant things from season one (he then complains about ''Steven Universe'' doing exactly that in its own later seasons).

* AffectionateParody: It's clear that Jello loves the series he's making fun of, aside from a few criticisms. The sole exceptions are ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', and ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.

* TheScrappy: [[invoked]]
** In ''My Hero Academia'', he, like pretty much everyone else in the fandom, clearly hates Minoru Mineta, saying that while he wants to kiss everyone, he shouldn't be kissing anyone.
** In ''Persona 5'', just like most of the fanbase, he considers Ichiko Ohya to be useless and the idea of a teenager dating an alcoholic adult to be disgusting.

** In ''Steven Universe'', he hates Amethyst or "Armrest", saying that while he does understand that she's a tragic character, [[NeverLiveItDown he found it unforgivable]] that she intentionally traumatized Greg and indirectly Steven, even though they [[EasilyForgiven have forgiven her for it]].
** In ''Miraculous Ladybug'', he thinks [[AlphaBitch Chloé]] is the ''real'' villain of the series and would've gladly seen her get killed off on-screen. Especially since Ladybug [[DamselScrappy constantly has to save her sorry ass]].[[invoked]]
** In ''Gravity Falls'', [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech he chews Mabel out]] for being [[ItsAllAboutMe unreasonably selfish]] and costing Dipper so much, while [[KarmaHoudini getting away with all of it]].
** In ''Cowboy Bebop'', he portrays Ed as TheFriendNobodyLikes and wonders why she's even with the Bebop crew in the first place. He also thinks that Julia is so inconsequential that one could easily replace her with a cardboard cutout of a vagina.
** In ''Adventure Time'', he thinks that both Finn and Jake are terrible heroes, while Princess Bubblegum is an immoral ruler who causes more conflict than she resolves.
** In ''Star vs. the Forces of Evil'', he portrays Pony Head as evil, saying while most of the side characters are fun, she's the exception.

** In ''RWBY'', he doesn't have anything nice to say about Blake, calling her [[FlatCharacter garbage]]. He also does a brief TakeThat against Neptune, saying that he wastes screentime ''and'' accomplishes nothing.

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: In "So this is Sonic the Hedgehog", Jello claims that Sonic can breathe in space because there's no water around to get in the way.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Lampshaded in ''So This is Basically Fire Emblem'' where Jello says "killing is OK so long as it's gross people."

** The ''Persona 5'' episode points out how the Phantom Thieves keep questioning their "morally light-grey" actions, featuring Ann and Ryuji wondering if it was okay that they stopped Thomas Babyeater, The Inventor of Eating Babies. The joke is ''of course'' it's okay for the Phantom Thieves to stop those kinds of criminals, yet the game keeps acting like the Thieves are NotSoDifferent and somehow morally compromised.

** In ''RWBY'', he doesn't have anything nice to say about either Weiss or Blake, calling them [[TheWorfEffect useless]] and [[FlatCharacter garbage]] respectively. He also does a brief TakeThat against Neptune, saying that he wastes screentime ''and'' accomplishes nothing.

* TheScrappy: In ''My Hero Academia'', he, like pretty much everyone else in the fandom, clearly hates Mineta. [[invoked]]
