History WebVideo / KhonjinHouse

[[OncePerEpisode What a wonderful day]] to list the tropes associated with ''Khonjin House.''

''Khonjin House'' is a web series by Connor Lavery. As the title suggests, it stars Khonjin igiuL JR III and his "friends" going on wacky adventures. Starting with [[WhamEpisode episode 30]], the show began to have a vague story arc involving an [[spoiler: AmbiguouslyEvil, RealityWarper ([[EvilGod or potential God]]) named [[KnightOfCerebus Pent]], whose main motives are extremely unclear. Any episode involving him takes the show's usual RapidFireComedy set up into a much more [[MoodWhiplash mysterious and dramatic turn]]]].

That's probably the easiest part to describe. The show is a cross between WesternAnimation/XavierRenegadeAngel and old-school web cartoons that rarely makes sense. It's highly sporadic, with the average episode lasting for about a minute and often devolving into an insane mish-mash of screaming and violence by the end. Despite this, the quality of writing and voice acting is quite high (especially for a web cartoon), meaning the chaos always has meaning and every second of the episode builds to a rapid-fire sequence of jokes. The show's probably most famous for its StylisticSuck, as the whole show is animated with single static images moving around mimicking movement similarly to a stick puppet show.

The series can be found at Lavery's Website/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Khonjin here]].

A serialized series, called ''Khonjin Takes a Break'',[[note]]Also known as just ''Khonjin'' or "Khonjin House Jazz".[[/note]] debuted on March 8, 2017. Later, a spin-off series starring [[spoiler: Pent]] and [[spoiler: Smack]] called "WebAnimation/{{Supermental}}" debuted on September 30, 2017, which [[spoiler: reveals who these two characters along with Shelby truly are..]] [[EpilepticTrees Maybe?]]

On September 18, 2018, a large number of Khonjin House's episodes were either edited or deleted altogether by Connor. Among the things edited out were jokes Lavery felt were [[DudeNotFunny too offensive in hindsight,]] jokes he felt fell flat, and almost anything related to Supermental, due to Connor rewriting Supermental and [[CanonDiscontinuity removing all of the Supermental plot threads from Khonjin House canon.]]

Finally, on May 31, 2019, the 70th and [[SeriesFinale final episode]] of ''Khonjin House'' was uploaded. In it, Lavery expressed that while he may return to the series later if he has any new ideas, the series is over for now. Lavery provided a file containing all of Khonjin House's assets in the description, encouraging his fans to make their own Khonjin House episodes if they wanted, ending the episode with a [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]] montage of all the fan art Khonjin House had garnered over the years. [[spoiler: Some cryptic messages in the final episode and a Tumblr link in the description have prompted an AlternateRealityGame to find the password hidden somewhere in the series's episodes, and TheStinger provides hints to Supermental's new direction.]]

On January 1, 2021, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ3oL7drgYo Connor brought ''Khonjin House'']] [[{{Main/Revival}} back once again]] to provide content while [[ExtremelyLengthyCreation Supermental was being finished]]. Episode 80, confirmed to be the [[SeriesFinale true finale]] in the Patreon description, was uploaded on January 18, 2021.

[[spoiler: When Dumbass gets the answer wrong [[WhatAnIdiot Khonjin laughs and yells to him the answer, completely forgetting that he still has two tries]], which leads to Dumbass winning the game show.
