History WebVideo / JonTron

Jon Jafari is Jon Tron, a {{video game}} critic on [[http://normalboots.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=35&Itemid=11 normalboots.com]]. Using a cheerful, energetic style and plenty of {{cutaway gag}}s and {{visual pun}}s, he talks about certain elements of video games, good and bad, and occasionally reviews specific titles. His sidekick is a green parrot named Jacques, who talks in a vaguely robotic voice, has glowing red eyes, and offers stoic commentary to contrast Jon's boundless energy.

Although Jon sometimes critiques bad video games and bashes them a lot, at times rather harshly, he is ''not'' a {{caustic critic}}. He uses a lot less profanity than most others in his profession, and reacts to bad games with exaggerated confusion (and sometimes sadness or disappointment, or less often, outrage). His initial reaction to the nonsense and weirdness in the games he plays is [[UnfazedEveryman chilled out and accepting]]... until he finally ''snaps'', often with ''hilarious'' results.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Jon did an episode reviewing ''[[JurassicPark The Lost World]]'', this would be the first episode to have nothing to do with video games.

* ScheduleSlip: Initially he uploaded his videos weekly. However, the gap between new videos has gotten bigger and bigger to the point where the series updates monthly these days. However, he's been picking up the pace as of late; the ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' and Top 10 VideoGame Commercials episodes were released within a week of each other.

* GeniusDitz: Despite his frenetic and slightly spastic persona, Jon has a very good understanding of game theory and will sometimes take a moment to explain exactly why a particularly bad fault is so fatal. For instance, his comments on being able to ignore the complex combo system in''Aquaman'' and win reliably by mashing the A button leads to an explanation of "Dominant Strategy", and the blatant BreakingTheFourthWall in ''Bubsy 3D'' prompts him to elaborate on WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief and how such forced self-reference damages it. Since he tends to slow down when explaining these concepts to allow the audience to comprehend what he's saying, he usually lampshades them by shierking [[LargeHam GAME THEORY TIME!!]] and/or splicing in a TheMoreYouKnow type clip.

** For some reason he doesn't seem to like his 'Gaming In Public' videos either, and took those off his YouTube Channel.

* ''BanjoKazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' (Upcoming)

* HoYay: The aforementioned photoshop.

** Peanut Butter Gamer has dedicated an entire mini-series, 'To Kill an Avatar', to this purpose.

* RobotBuddy: It isn't clear whether Jacques is a robot or just a ''very'' peculiar parrot. Probably a parrot made to seem like a robot in editing.

He claims to have been inspired mainly by WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd and [[TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]]. [[HoYay Then he photoshopped them making out.]]

** In ''[[http://normalboots.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=474&Itemid=11&lang=en John Tron and George Lucas Visit Jupiter]]'' he mercilessly (and hilariously) ridicules the idea of going back to previous, finished works and editing them digitally, the way GeorgeLucas does to the ''StarWars'' original trilogy.
