History WebAnimation / SoThisIsBasically

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In ''[=JoJo=]'', he brings up how characters tend to forget about certain powers of their own stands, like Kakyoin being able to use paintings to injure Jotaro in his introduction arc, or that they could have used Joseph's Hermit Purple to look for Kira. "Part 9" has Cow Hat Boy needing to be outright told to use his Stand while Joanna is being fought by Smash Mouth.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Jello has trouble pronouncing "[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Alomomola]]".

* ReplacementScrappy: While Jello himself has the opposite opinion of her, he takes a jab at the ''Ace Attorney'' fans who consider Athena to be one for Maya. [[invoked]]

* CriticalResearchFailure: [[invoked]] Played with; while Jello does get things wrong about whatever he features, it's usually just for RuleOfFunny and it's very clear that he knows what the actual facts are, as shown with his character of "Typo" in the video on ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''.

* SateliteLoveInterest: Discussed in the ''Gravity Falls'' video:

---> After the 20th “Marble’s Crush of the Week” episode, they thought “Man, let’s not leave Dipstick out of this hot action, so they made Wendy. Guess they’re called the Pines twins cause they’re always ''pining'' after someone! ([[IncrediblyLamePun chortle]]) The writers actually start to use her a bit in Season 2, before realizing “Oh, no! [[OnlySaneWoman She’s too competent!]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter Better put her]] [[OutOfFocus back in her box!]]

* EatsBabies: The Do-Crimer's targets in ''Persona 5'' include Thomas Babyeater, the inventor of eating babies.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In ''Ace Attorney'', for a split second, Prosecutor Ducky (who was last seen cheerfully calling out penalties for not keeping time with the game's logic) reacts like the killer's InsaneTrollLogic that keeps a guilty verdict on the judge's mind is beyond ''her'' scope.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers:
** In ''[=JoJo=]'', he brings up how characters tend to forget about certain powers of their own stands, like Kakyoin being able to use paintings to injure Jotaro in his introduction arc, or that they could have used Joseph's Hermit Purple to look for Kira. "Part 9" has Cow Hat Boy needing to be outright told to use his Stand while Joanna is being fought by Smash Mouth.

* SeasonalRot:

** His ''Persona 5'' video sees him taking potshots at Atlus for not allowing same sex romance options but being okay with Joker romancing adults, particularly his teacher.

* {{Corpsing}}: At the end of the ''Pokémon'' sketch, Jello cracks up at the Pokémon "Alomomola" and can't even keep doing the silly voice:
-->'''Jello:''' Pffffha-ha ha ha ha it's so dumb!

** ''Trails of Cold Steel'', Erebonia is "Will Bone Ya", Rean is given the title "Human Friendship Speech" and you'll probably lose track of ''[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters all of his friends]]''.

** In the ''Genshin Impact'' video, "Series/{{Nanalan}}" is named as a potential new nation to explore later in the game, which is signified by a giant Mona looming in the distance.

* ShoutOut: In the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' video, one of the abilities in the ''Birth By Sleep'' finisher screen is "Okay I Believe You", one of the many constantly-repeated phrase in Just a Pancake's ''WebVideo/KingdomHeartsInANutshell'' series.

''So This Is Basically...'' is a WebAnimation series created by [=JelloApocalypse=] (real name Creator/BrendanBlaber), best known for his ''WebAnimation/WelcomeTo'' series. In fact, ''So This is Basically'' is a SpiritualSuccessor to that series, but instead of summarizing websites, Jello explains pieces of media, mainly WesternAnimation, {{Anime}}, and VideoGames. It is his dominant series after the final installment of ''Welcome to''.

Each episode features Jello as a narrator talking about the work in question, with his own illustrations displayed instead of screenshots from the work (episodes after the first few are drawn by other artists in Jello's style, though Jello still does storyboarding). Most of the humor is carried over from ''Welcome to''; expect lots of [[BetterThanABareBulb lampshading]] and lighthearted (and some not so lighthearted) jabs at the work's problems, even if he has no clue what he is talking about.

The episodes can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHACfIDFF66rhd6lplzOG_5oOs-ugb8gd here]]. In order, the series has tackled:

* CreepyOldFashionedDivingSuit: One episode talks about WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom and shows a scene where Danny fights off a ghost in a diving suit saying puns as he fights, being most likely a reference to the ghost of Captain Cutler from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou''.

* CallBack: In ''Trails of Cold Steel'', Rean has a OneHundredYardStare as he's reminded of Crow, who was also apparently turned into a bird. Just like Qrow.

!!So This is Basically a Trope List:

* RealityEnsues: In the ''Persona 5'' video, like with every other Persona awakening in the game, Mishima pulls his mask off in a spray of blood in order to summon Fawkes...and then immediately passes out from the sudden blood loss.

** The ''Persona 5'' episode points out how the Phantom Thieves keep questioning their "morally light-light-grey" actions, featuring Ann and Ryuji wondering if it was okay that they changed the heart of 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 from doing any more crimes, yet the game keeps acting like the Phantom Thieves are NotSoDifferent from their targets and somehow morally compromised.
