* StupidStatementDanceMix: "Titenic" received this treatment from Music/{{Schmoyoho}}. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9DKoMSiDc4 The result]] is pretty [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools awesome]].

** ''The Weird World of [=PSAs=]'' takes a shot against the typical, overused "[[StockParodyJokes Mario drugs himself with mushrooms]]" jokes.

* SurrealHumor: Over time, his videos have borrowed more from the WebAnimation/YouTubePoop school of humor, with [[FunWithSubtitles caption humor]], [[SuddenlyShouting shouting]], garbled audio clips, and sheer randomness that [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext has no context]] within the videos themselves.

* NoPronunciationGuide: "Ba...bafoom?...Ba-FOOM-dad?"

* ToTheBatNoun: "Did Aquaman lose his hand at the Aqua-Mill? Gotta get those Aqua-Union Benefits! Aqua... Aqua-Dental." ''(falls silent)''

* CanonImmigrant: We already knew Jon doesn't truck with this type of character, as shown in ''Game Grumps'' (his response to Kimi from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''). Then comes along the PAL ''Home Alone'' game with a DistaffCounterpart for Macaulay Culkin, along with a pair of AmbiguouslyBrown playmates. The plot thickens.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: You know [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30voQyK3Qog the Los Angeles Dinosaur]] from the "California Games" episode? Yeah, [[http://www.reddit.com/r/JonTron/comments/288bza/in_the_new_jontron_video_the_los_angeles_dinosaur/ it exists]]...sort of.

** In his ''X-Wing'' review, Markiplier (cameoing as one of Jon's wingmen) accidentally follows [[WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus Miss Frizzle into Arnold's body and helps her fight off a case of streppe throat.]]

** At the end of the ''Nightshade'' review, it is implied that he '''REALLY''' doesn't like to see old women getting beaten up.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Averted, as he reviews several crappy games with dinosaurs, and even lampshades their prevalence in his Home Improvement video, saying he hadn't even noticed it until fans pointed it out to him. He ranks dinosaurs alongside spiders and skeletons as video game enemies that are often thrown in with the least amount of sense and originality according to plot, especially in the 16-bit era.

* ARareSentence: While struggling against a ClassicVideoGameScrewYou in ''VideoGame/TakeshisChallenge'':

* ClusterBleepBomb: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxF4yUUUavw His reaction]] towards Cheasel T. Weasel of ''Foodfight!''

* KillEmAll:
** Surprisingly, in ''California Games'' of all places, where failing to complete the game objectives leaves one protagonist after the other dead. Not just hinted at, the game is explicitly letting Jon know the characters just ''died''.
** Jon also lampshades this aspect of a Space Invaders clone, where the things you have to shoot down are ''paratroopers''.
** In "Turducken Chef", things go so badly in Jon's attempt at a cooking show that it ends this way. [[spoiler:Jon's turducken becomes too powerful and kills all of his friends, forcing Jon to slay the turducken before wishing his audience a happy Thanksgiving.]]

* SpoilerCover: Addressed in his ''Goosebumps Part 1'' video, where a book called ''Why I'm Afraid of Bees'' clearly shows [[BalefulPolymorph the protagonist's head on the body of a bee.]]

** Others include games that fall [[UpToEleven heavily]] into "[[invoked]]TheyChangedItNowItSucks" (such as ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', which deviated greatly from the gameplay of the earlier titles in the ''VideoGame/StarFox'' franchise, and ''[[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', which replaced the platforming elements with vehicle-based gameplay) and finding inexplicably weird things in games (such as all the crazy bosses in ''VideoGame/MonsterParty'' and the Bafomdad in the aforementioned ''Star Fox'' title).

*** Taken UpToEleven in his ''Dinocity'' review. First he tries the Playstation 3. Then his PC's CD drive. Then the DS. followed by the wireless router. Then [[TooDumbToLive the dishwasher...three times.]] He finally figures out it must be a Super Nintendo game. And then puts it in upside-down...

"Irem. As in, "[=IRemember=] them! oh wait, ''no I don't.''"\\

* SpiritualSuccessor: THE HEAD TO HEAD GAME JAM is one to the notorious Green Label Game Jam of 2014, which Jon and another participant, Tom Jackson, had been involved in. A number of that earlier (and abortive) game jam's flaws were consciously avoided, such as the attempt to stir up drama between contestants in the vein of a RealityShow, the gratuitous and intrusive ProductPlacement, and the arbitrary challenges.

#''VideoGame/{{Nightshade}} Part 1: The Claws of Sutekh''[[note]]Or as Jon called it personally, ''Nightshade: The Claws of HEUGH''[[/note]]

#''Nightshade: The Claws of HEUGH''

* YouKeepUsingThatWord: One of the ''California Games'' characters says the line "Let's drop in on a grommet." Jon is left dumbstruck for a definition.
-->''Ah, grommet. I used to say it all the time back in Cali. Couldn't STOP me saying this word. Grommet this, grommet that. [[PrecisionFStrike The FUCK does grommet mean?!?]]''
