History WebVideo / JoueurDuGrenier

* SpecialEffectFailure: InUniverse. Parodied in the beginning of the ''Spirou'' video, when they explore the abandoned Peruvian tomb.

** Also mentioned when Grenier talks about ''MortalKombatAnnihilation''.

** Also mentioned when Grenier talks about the second ''MortalKombat'' movie.

* MoodDissonance: In a special episode, he reviews ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4xHOJ6e2kc Aladdin]]'' to demonstrate why he ''doesn't'' review good games. During the entire video, he keeps an angry face and tone... while continuously praising the game.

-->'''[=JdG=]:''' The same Disney that taught us so many lessons in our childhoods. [[DudeShesLikeInAComa You can give]] [[Disney/SleepingBeauty a kiss to a]] [[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs sleeping girl,]] [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal you can show off your balls]], [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales but only if you're a duck]], [[DidNotGetTheGirl an ugly guy will never]] [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame get the girl]] and [[UnfortunateImplications monkeys are always]] [[Disney/TheLionKing dubbed by black people.]]

* BFG: For the final action sequence of the ''Platoon'' / ''Metal Gear'' video, [=JdG=] carries an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_42 MG 42]]. He clarifies in the comments that is was a real one, and damn heavy.

-->'''[=JdG=]:''' The Temple of Elder Sages, home of... the Elder Sages!
* DepthPerplexion: A common complaint of [=JdG=] for 2D games, with either background elements made to look like platforms, or platforms nonsensically hidden in the background. One tricky section of ''Bart vs. the Space Mutants'' almost makes him quit in rage.

* MostWonderfulSound: InUniverse, the PlayStation jingle when you turn on the console. Though JDG notes that it's also a moment of anguish, where you wonder if the PS logo will appear or not.

-->'''JDG:''' Good God, we ''all'' know he's gonna kick the bucket before spitting out her father's name! (''when that happens'') Damn! Is it possible to have something more silly than that?! (Franchise/MyLittlePony''[='=]s theme rolls'') ... [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith NOOOOOO!]]

-->'''[=JdG=]: The [[AtariJaguar Jaguar]] tried to penetrate the market with its 64 bits[[note]]"bit" is pronounced the same as a French familiar word for "penis"[[/note]]... (''video reeling back'') That console presented itself as the first 64-bit console.

'''The leader of the Beelzebuth's Worshippers Sect:''' Of course, it is well known that we are absolutely in tune with each other.\\

* DepthPerplexion: A common complaint of [=JdG=] for 2D games, with either background elements made to look like platforms, or platforms nonsensically hidden in the background. One tricky section of ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsBartVsTheSpaceMutants'' almost makes him quit in rage.

* VideoGamePerversionPotential: InUniverse, in the ''Papy Grenier'' episode about ''[=GoldenEye=]'' for the N64. He says that he used to take advantage of the fact that bullet impacts on the walls took a long time to disappear to "draw" penises.
* [[WeAllLiveInAmerica We all live in France]]: Lampshaded in the review ''Tintin in Tibet'', in which [=JdG=] is adamant that Franchise/{{Tintin}} is French.

* BadBadActing: Used during the reenactment of the dubbing of ''Excalibur 2555 A.D.''

** His ''Platoon''/''Metal Gear'' video ends with an appearance by [[spoiler:Creator/DougWalker]].
** In the ''Road Runner''/''Tazmania'' video, French [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] Creator/BobLennon appears as a "useless cameo" who [[DrivenToSuicide shoots himself in the head]] when asked to testify on how bad the ''Road Runner'' game is. Coincidentally, Bob Lennon also appeared along with [=JdG=] and Seb in an episode of ''Series/{{Noob}}''.

* TheDanza: While Frédéric Molas is called "Joueur du Grenier" or "Grenier" on the show, Sébastien Rassiat is simply referred to as "Seb".

* DontExplainTheJoke: An extended joke starting with the [[Film/{{Amelie}} Amélie Poulain]]: Montmartre Killing Spree gag. Seb butts in to say "So you could say she's hilling in Montmartre!" which he elaborates on at the end of the video (Butte, hill; Bute, kill; Amélie Poulain: Montmartre Hilling Spree).

* DopeSlap: He does this to a [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Greybeard]] towards the end of his RPG review when he rewards his "quest" with a hammer.

'''Seb:''' Err... I think it's ''Georgie!''\\
(''starts to strike the match'')

** When reviewing ''The Addams Family'' (NES), he notices that the only music track of the game is a 8-bit fex seconds loop of the series' theme. To show how it is annoying, he uses a short loop of the Joueur du Grenier opening theme during the following minute.
* EatTheBomb: In ''Tazmania'', Taz automatically eats any interactive object he steps on, including bombs (it hurts him but is not an insta-kill). What annoys Joueur du Grenier is where the developers chose to put the bombs: behind pillars and right where you're expected to land when jumping (not unlike the invisible coin blocks in PlatformHell games).

** Worse: In a level of ''Tintin : Prisoners of the Sun'', your mission during an ''entire'' level is to avoid a ''single'' suitcase while you're in a train car. Easier said than done.

* FanVid: He is sick of [[AnimatedMusicVideo AMVs]] with Music/{{Evanescence}} and Music/LinkinPark music.

** Invoked, and lampshaded in the intro of the ''Silent Assault'' - ''Raid 2020'':

-->'''[=JdG=]''' The concept was taken from AVGN (long live the King!) and adapted in French. If you know a bit of English, I recommend you check him out.

* HitboxDissonance : Some of his games have this, coupled sometimes with FakeDifficulty.
* HoYay: [[invoked]] What he pointed about the heroes of ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' the animated series.

* IAmXSonOfY
** In his RPG games review, he is addressed by the [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Greybeards]] as "Joueur du Grenier, child of Juron" ("Juron" meaning "Swear word" in French).
** In the French version of ''Skyrim'', "Dragonborn" is translated as "Enfant de dragon" (litterally: "child of dragon"). Here, [=JdG=] is called "Enfant de juron" ("child of swear word"). Cue wearing a horned helmet and shouting (French) insults like Thu'ums.

** On ''Batman & Robin'' : "This game was made by a company named Probe, so you already know it will live forever in the annals". Cue an XBox achievement.
** On ''Excalibur 2555 A.D.'' : "This game isn't so hard, it is just awfully long and shitty and we take too much time on non-logical enigmas... I shouldn't be surprised, the editor who made this, Tempest, ''is known to only make stinky games'' [[DontExplaintheJoke (in French ''Tempest'' sounds like "t'empestes": "you stink")]] .

* KubrickStare: [[spoiler:Creator/DougWalker]] at the end of the ''Platoon''/''Metal Gear'' video.

* MostAnnoyingSound: InUniverse

** In the "2D to 3D" episode, the opening of ''VideoGame/MortalKombatSpecialForces'' is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90V_yIBjH2M#t=8m04s shown]] with a disclaimer "No, this ain't edited, it's the game's real intro sequence"

* OminousLatinChanting: Played for laughs in the beginning of the ''Total Recall''/''Predator'' review, when picking up a cart triggers some. It also doubles as a sort of ShoutOut to ''Manga/DeathNote'', since [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUyb4yQMEXQ said latin chanting comes from this anime]].

* ReadTheFreakingManual: The trope is said to him by the voice-over at the end of his "guide to being angry at your computer" skit in the ''Airwolf'' review.

* SeeThruSpecs: The sunglasses always dangling from [=JdG=]'s shirt are described as allowing to see the state of someone's soul.

** The ending theme of the ''DragonBall'' review is the [[HollywoodToneDeaf hilariously butchered version]] of "Chala Head-Chala" sung by [[LuckyStar Konata]].

** The ''Ultraman''/''Rise of the Robots'' video ends with the Joueur du Grenier fighting against game carts with a shotgun, filmed in first-person view, and with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSsfjHCFosw a cover of the first level music]] of ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' in background.

** The ''Tazmania'' test has a scene when several Seb posing as videogame developpers recreate a scene from ''Film/ThreeHundred''.

** In the Disney games review, he mentions that ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' on Megadrive is as empty as the conference about the PS4 was. From the same review, he [[SarcasmMode sarcastically]] says that Creator/{{Activision}} [[VideoGame/CallOfDuty isn't the kind of company that would make money by selling games you can finish in an hour]].

-->'''[=JdG=]:''' So today, we're gonna have animated shows for girls. Seb, turn this show into something pink and boring for chicks, please! (''cue a blur effect appearing'') ...Ah, it's not enough. Add more cute tings. (''cue Seb throwing kittens in the fire'') Okay. It's pink, blurry and disgusting. We're in a girly show alright.

-->''The cartoons back then were really serious. Sometimes even TOO serious.\\
Might I remind that it's supposedly for kids.\\
Candies, guns, fuel canisters, buy some matches!\\
Real funny there...\\
Damn, even the voiceover seems on the verge of killing itself!\\
Listen to what the BigBad says! [...] But it's completely ''sordid'' to say things like that!!\\
But it's horrible! But... But really but... ''Help''!! They show that to kids?!''

** In the girly shows special, when discussing the use of the AlmostDeadGuy trope in ''Georgie!''.
-->'''JDG:''' Good God, we ''all'' know he's gonna kick the bucket before spitting out her father's name! *when that happens* Damn! Is it possible to have something more silly than that?! *MyLittlePony's theme rolls* … [[RevengeOfTheSith NOOOOOO!]]

-->The [[AtariJaguar Jaguar]] tried to penetrate the market with its 64 bits[[hottip:*:"bit" is pronounced the same as a French familiar word for "penis"]]… *video reeling back* That console presented itself as the first 64-bit console.

* ToBeContinued: Twice : One at the end of his sports games review, and one at the end of the ''Platoon'' and ''Metal Gear'' review.

* UnfortunateImplications: InUniverse, in the FAQ. "I will make no comment on the fact that your character [a highway maintenance worker] looks like an old Pakistani immigrant".

* [[WeAllLiveInAmerica We all live in France]]: Lampshaded in the review ''Tintin au Tibet'', in which [=JdG=] is adamant that Franchise/{{Tintin}} is French.

* FourthWallMailSlot: [[http://www.joueurdugrenier.fr/joueur-du-grenier-rpond-vos-questions-2/ "JdG answers your questions"]]

* HilariousOuttakes: His specials about cartoons end with these.

** In the girly shows special, when discussing the use of the AlmostDeadMan trope in ''Lady Georgie!''.

-->The [[AtariJaguar Jaguar]] tried to penetrate the market with its 64 bits[[hottip:*:"bit" is pronounced the same as "bite", which means "penis" in French]]… *video reeling back* That console presented itself as the first 64-bit console.

-->'''[=JdG=]:''' And now, like in all the series after a big cliffhanger, here is... a filler episode!\\

* ReadTheFreakingManual: The trope is said to him by at the end of his "guide to being angry at your computer" skit in the ''Airwolf'' review.
