6[[https://www.youtube.com/user/JoshJepson JoshJepson]] is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] on Website/YouTube that is known some places as being "the guy who guested on LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys' VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii LP". Josh is fairly popular among the community, with over 100,000 subscribers (and growing). He is also very distinctive, having a style mirroring that of {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}, but with a lot more swearing and sometimes, a lot of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ky2n4ACUJ0 very weird sounds]].
7
8He raced in [[LetsPlay/{{Versus}} Super Mario Sunshine Versus]] against fellow LP'er, Creator/AttackingTucans. It now has its own page. He followed this up with a ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'' Versus on his channel.

101----
102!!Tropes Used Include:
103* AscendedExtra: He has done work with Ubisoft in the past and has even submitted a weapon design for the first "Ratchet and Clank" game.
104* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: "A female fish falling fast" from episode 18 of ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins''.
105* AlliterativeName: Josh Jepson.
106* AmnesiaDanger: His LP of ''Videogame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' was recorded years after Josh had last played the game, with the result that his memory of many levels and mechanics is vague and sometimes even feels like a blind LP. This trope naturally ensues on harder levels, [[HilarityEnsues along with hilarity]].
107* AndThatsTerrible: From ''Ocarina of Time'', "Also, he wants to rape me, ''and that's not very nice!''"
108* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In one of his Jepscon vlogs, he begins arguing with LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} and LetsPlay/ProtonJon (well, mainly Jon) over vlogging and claims it to be an art. The others begin mocking this, then...
109--> '''Josh''': Let's put this in perspective here. Is [[LetsPlay let's playing]] an art?
110--> ''({{Beat}})''
111--> '''Chugga and Jon''': Oooooh... ''(Chugga points at Josh in a "good point" manner)''
112* AtomicFBomb: Many times, usually during deaths or jump scares.
113* BigNo: Often occurs, but his best is easily during the VideoGame/LuigisMansion1 versus; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDQh-42K4V4&feature=player_detailpage#t=1881s it's so big]] he disappeared for the rest of the video.
114* BigYes: Tends to take this trope to insane levels for a short time upon completing one of ''[[ThatOneLevel those]]'' [[ThatOneLevel levels]], including VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys.
115* BloodKnight: States his intent early on in his VideoGame/Fallout3 LP to play through the game as one of these.
116* BrickJoke: An offhand joke about coming back to play a particularly difficult level in VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns when the world ends on 21st December 2012 actually results in a bonus video of Josh and LetsPlay/SuperJeenius playing through ThatOneLevel, uploaded on that date.
117** Also a cross channel one, in his and Creator/AttackingTucans' {{LetsPlay/Versus}} series, Tyler jokingly states that Josh's next LP is ''VideoGame/PokemonSnap'', Josh call him out with shock that he guessed his next let's play, then revealed he was just joking. [[DoubleSubverted Cue April Fool's day, and part one of Let's Play Pokémon snap.]]
118** During the first appearance of Princess Zelda in ''A Link Between Worlds'', Josh makes a joke about Zelda giving Link her virginity. [[spoiler: He makes the same joke in the final episode, when Zelda gives Link the Bow Of Light.]]
119* ButtMonkey: Whenever Josh collaborates with any other LP'er(s), he seems to have about a fifty-fifty chance of becoming this.
120* CallARabbitASmeerp: In the DK Country Returns LP, both players decide that bananas are Blanabbas.
121** Less consistently, they will also insert [=Ls=] into the names of other things in the game, such as puzzle pieces becoming 'pluzzle polices'.
122* CatchPhrase:
123** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS8veeg6dBc&feature=related "Jesus Grandma!"]]
124*** "[[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Congratulations - It's a Grandma]]".
125** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNUViCBkPE&feature=related "Swiiiirly X! Swiiiirly!]]
126** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA8Nt_51R8s&feature=related "It's not supposed to go at an angle!"]]
127*** In his Ocarina of Time LP, "And may your X not go at an angle" was his standard way to finish a video.
128** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th0n3BlbQbc&feature=related "Oh my god what was the heck was the what the what the what?!"]]
129** "Stars... Lord knows I need 'em."
130** "YOU'RE SO SCREWED!"
131** "FIYABALLS? YUM!"
132** "Two at a time, every single time!"
133** "Duh, dummy!"
134** "Was that so hard? Yes, yes it was."
135** "KAMEK YOU FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"
136** "Oh, no! Oh, little boy, I'm so sorry!"
137** "... and I'll see you, in the next one."
138** There are a few both he and [=SuperJeenius=] use in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'', such as "So sad, bad dad", "Props where credit is due", "[[WorthIt I sacrificed my body]]" (when one of them grabs a collectible and dies in the process), "[[MemeticMutation NOPE--Chuck Testa]]", "[[{{Portmanteau}} True-ché]]", "[[UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS My body is/isn't ready]]" and "[[MadLibsCatchPhrase X for DAAAAYS]]".
139** Some of these reappear in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', along with others such as "[[MemeticMutation Balls on chair--now I'm ready for some things]]", one of them referring to 'lumms' and the other correcting the pronunciation to 'looms', and mispronouncing the word 'Origins' in the title in different ways.
140** When picking up a HeartsAreHealth item, saying "It's a HUUUUMAN HEAAAART!" in a [[LargeHam horrified, hammy voice]].
141** "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck GOOOOOD LUUUUUUCK!]]"
142** "PUT ON SOME DAMN HEADPHONES!" which became so popular it's now a shirt.
143** "'I see,' said the blind man as he took out his hammer and saw."
144* CatchphraseInterruptus: Often happens in his co-ops.
145--> '''Josh''': My name is Josh Jepson--
146--> '''[=SuperJeenius=]''': My name is [=SuperJeenius=].
147--> '''Josh (having lost the rhythm of the catchphrase)''': ...but...you knew that already.
148* ClusterFBomb: Episode 16 of VideoGame/QuantumConundrum gives us "Fucking-congratu-fucking-lations!"
149** Drops an even bigger one in Episode 20 of Fallout 3, after getting surprised by a bear.
150--> '''Josh''': OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? HOLY FUCKING SHIT FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK ASS DICK BISCUT MOTHERFUCKING HOLY SHIT!
151* CoolUncle: On his April 12th 2017 vlog, Josh announced that he's now an uncle.
152* CutenessProximity: Just hear him talking the first time (or any other time for that matter) he finds "Poochy" in Yoshi's Island.
153** Josh constantly mentions how adorable everything in Ilomilo is. He once barfed from cuteness overload.
154* CurseCutShort[=/=]SoundEffectBleep: In his Ocarina of Time LP he uses SHI*CLANG* a lot. Sometimes he'll cut to static so younger viewers can avoid excess rage.
155* DamnYouMuscleMemory: In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'', Josh plays as Donkey Kong and Jake ([=SuperJeenius=]) as Diddy Kong, who has a jetpack. Sometimes Jake will jump on Josh's back, which lets Josh use the jetpack to hover, but just when he's got used to having it, they split up and then he keeps falling into pits due to expecting to be able to hover and not being able to. Jake [[{{Troll}} claims he's doing this deliberately to make Josh fail]].
156* DidntThinkThisThrough: Said word-for-word in his playthrough of the ''VideoGame/AHatInTime'' prototype, where he rides a firework out to a faraway island in the level, jumps off it... and then realizes, without a firework, he'll have to swim alllll the way back.
157** Also, when presented with a strawpoll from [[LetsPlay/AriZonia AriZonia]] for her ''VideoGame/OrganTrail'' videos about which of the five characters is expected to die first[[note]]Josh was one of the "winners" of a previous poll to be put into the game[[/note]], he outright says [[https://twitter.com/JoshJepson/status/541067150358614016 "I voted for myself."]] with the fitting response of "Why!?" from Ari herself. Funnily enough, [[spoiler: he does die first]]
158* EpicFail: In his ''Limbo'' LP, Josh comes across an [[SchmuckBait obvious trap]] and tells himself not to jump in the large pit that sets up said trap. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments He goes in anyway.]]
159* FailedASpotCheck: In part 1 of the ''Four Swords Adventures'' LP with LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun, LetsPlay/SuperJeenius, and LetsPlay/PCull44444, they step on a group of switches which spawns a couple of big green force gems and a couple of chests right between them. They immediately grab the force gems and move on to the next screen without opening the chests or even taking notice of them.
160* FakeDifficulty: He and LetsPlay/SuperJeenius struggle with this in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' due to several glitches.
161* GirlfriendInCanada: Amusingly enough, Josh ''literally'' has one in Brooke, which prompted his move to Canada along with other reasons.
162** As of November 14, 2015, She is his Wife In Canada.
163* {{Gorn}}: He gets the "Bloody Mess" perk in ''Fallout 3'' to invoke this.
164* GoshDangItToHeck: ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' gives us "MOTHERFATHER!"
165** An occasional catchphrase is Josh calling things in the game "You silly goose" in a Carol Channing-like voice.
166* HappilyMarried: To Brooke on November 14, 2015.
167* HeyThatsMyLine: At the end of the VideoGame/DeadSpace livestream:
168-->'''Josh''': Thank you guys for watching...and...uh...
169-->'''Brooke''': We'll see you in the next one.
170* HypeBacklash: [[invoked]] Regarding Raphael the Raven's boss fight. After hearing numerous people rave about how awesome it was, the fact that it was so lengthy and frustrating did not endear it to him. He admitted it was cool, but he didn't find it fun.
171* IconicItem: Josh has a random painting of a cow in his apartment, which is often referenced by people doing fanart or animations of him.
172** In a different way, his quiff and goatee.
173* IfIWantedXIWouldY: When Josh starts making vagina references in episode 18 of ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', LetsPlay/SuperJeenius replies that if he wanted to play a game with [[Creator/TylerSederwall Tyler]]...
174* IncrediblyLamePun: A RunningGag in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' is them doing this with the letters K, O, N, G they have to collect in each level. Some of these started out as [[AccidentalPun Accidental Puns]]. They also often [[SpeakInUnison say the last part in unison]]. Examples:
175--> "There's the K" "I'll get the K" "...'''K'''".
176--> "Where's the O?" "There it is!" "'''O'''hhhhhh!"
177--> "We've got the K and the O, now we're '''OK'''!"
178--> "Where's the G?" "There's the G!" "'''Gee!'''"
179** In ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'', on encountering several examples of a HelpfulMook in the form of a toucan-like bird that launches Rayman upward when he jumps on its beak, Josh dubs them "[[Creator/AttackingTucans Attacking Toucans]]".
180* InsistentTerminology: In their ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' LP, LetsPlay/SuperJeenius constantly reminds Josh that Lums are supposed to be pronounced differently. It doesn't seem to stick.
181** When he's [=LPing=] a Zelda game at the same time as another LP, Josh has a tendency to refer to levels or areas in the other game as 'temples' or 'dungeons' too.
182** In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', he always refers to the Octoomba enemies as "Octagons".
183* ItRunsInTheFamily: In his Jepscon vlog where he visits his family in New England, we discover that Josh's grandfather is just as snarky as he is.
184* IWasBeatenByAGirl: Josh's wife claimed in one vlog that she regularly beats him at ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''.
185* LargeHam: He occasionally throws his mic levels into the red.
186* LetsGetDangerous: When he gets serious about finishing a hard level, he gets completely silent to focus. He describes this as taking a cue from LetsPlay/SuperJeenius, who did this as well when they played ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' together.
187* MadnessMantra: "It's not supposed to go at an angle!" started out as this. His short LP of Five Nights at Freddy's counts as well.
188** [[VideoGame/Fallout3 "Baby carriages have explosives. Baby carriages have explosives. Baby carriages have explosives."]]
189* MoodWhiplash: Two. Firstly, he jumped from the relatively child-friendly ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' straight into a blind LP of ''VideoGame/{{Limbo|2010}}''. He knew it was dark, but didn't know how dark until his player (a young child) missed the first jump and got impaled on a spike in a spray of blood. His optimism about the project got pretty somber from there. Then, he went from that onto the SickeninglySweet[[note]][[InvokedTrope as he himself puts it]][[/note]] ''VideoGame/{{ilomilo}}''.
190** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' Josh mentions that he likes this kind of contrast between light and dark tones and deliberately tries to organise his [=LPs=] around it.
191* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: In one of his "Jepscon" vlogs:
192--> '''LetsPlay/ProtonJon:''' I got three assholes with me and they're kinda dicks... Like, look at the face on [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} that guy]]. Face only a mother could love. ''(About Josh)'' And then we got ''this'' asshole.\
193'''Josh:''' Oh, ''thanks''!\
194'''Jon:''' No, actually, he's pretty cool. Then we got... well, we got [[LetsPlay/NintendoCapriSun Tim]].
195* TheNicknamer: He gives nicknames to many of the enemy types and objects in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland''. Also, "Bitchfish" from ''The Wind Waker''.
196* NostalgiaFilter: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''VideoGame/{{Glover}}'', which Josh says is objectively not a good game, but one he still likes just because he happened to play it when he was a kid.
197** He remembers about his summer camp experience during his LP of "Spyro the Dragon."
198* PerfectlyCromulentWord: "Culpritty", according to [=SuperJeenius=] in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
199** In the same LP, they refer to collecting all four K, O, N, G letters in a level as "Konging it" or "We Konged the level!"
200** Episode 13 of ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' gives us "excellate".
201* [[PreAssKickingOneLiner Pre-Platform Hell One Liner]]:
202-->'''LetsPlay/{{SuperJeenius}}:''' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=SPB745DD211BD686AF&v=JX1pRGiFGvY&feature=player_detailpage#t=667s Now I have to pay attention.]]"
203* PrecisionFStrike: At the end of ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Josh is completely silent throughout the ending sequence after dealing with an incredibly frustrating final boss, only to let out a harsh "''Fuck this game''" before the credits roll.
204* PungeonMaster: He's become this during the ''Glover'' LP.
205* ARareSentence: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2fwLvGLZDyU#t=111s Whoa! I completely overshot the lime!]]" "[[LampshadeHanging That's not something you hear every day]]."
206* RimShot: In episode 5 of ''Glover''.
207* RunningGag: When reading out onscreen instructions, he replaces any reference to buttons with "something". So for example a caption reading "press A to rotate the item screen and B to close the inventory" will be read as "press something to rotate the item screen and something to close the inventory".
208** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', constantly mentioning how things in the game remind him of ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet''.
209** Mixing up the names of items in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' and especially its sequel, and then often doing RapidFireNameGuessing to try and work out which one he meant.
210** Josh singing things, often with LyricalDissonance, to the tune of Christmas songs seems to be becoming one, especially in co-ops with other people.
211** Talking about how something in a game reminds him of ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', and using that to segue into gushing about how much he loves ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie''. Especially shows up a lot in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'': as one commenter put it:
212--> "Welcome to Part 34 of Let's Talk About Banjo-Kazooie While Playing Super Mario Galaxy"
213* SchmuckBait: In the last episode of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'', while they're doing difficult jumps between floating platforms, [=SuperJeenius=] tells Josh "There's a giant Blanabba (banana) in the background, don't look at it!" Of course he does and immediately misses the jump and dies.
214** In episode 32 of his Let's Play of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', he talked about how much he hates the phrase "I hope this helps!" Three guesses what all the comments were.
215* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: During ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpWuzFrlaZ0&feature=player_detailpage#t=307s episode 16.]]
216** Also during his ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion''-run in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3RKI9tfddYg#t=624s Episode 2]].
217* SeinfeldianConversation: Josh and [=SuperJeenius=] are prone to them in their co-ops, and also Josh and Tyler in their Versus projects to a lesser extent.
218* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Referenced by [=SuperJeenius=] in Part 24 of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
219* SirSwearsALot: Varies. At one point he started to cut back on or censor the swearing in his own [[LetsPlay LPs]], though he still swore A LOT in his collaboration videos. Later, he returned to swearing in his own videos, mostly during fails and deaths.
220* SpeakInUnison: Josh and [=SuperJeenius=] do this a lot in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
221* {{Spoonerism}}: "Hentacle Tentai" in episode 15 of ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins''.
222** "Closmic Cones" in episode 9 of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
223* SpiritualSuccessor: The ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' co-op is this to the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' LP, both because Josh and [=SuperJeenius=] team up again with the same dynamic and because (as they point out) the games are so similar.
224* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Josh has this dynamic with [=SuperJeenius=] when they team up for co-ops. Usually Josh is the Straight Man and Jeenius is the Wise Guy, but sometimes they trade roles.
225* SuicidalGotcha: Of an accidental variety, but in the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' level "Goonie Rides," he found himself plummeting into the abyss, shouting and weeping, sure he was done for... only to see Yoshi rise from the bottom of the screen, having landed on the back of a random Goonie flying by. From his perspective, it probably counts.
226* TemptingFate: In episode 23 of "Donkey Kong Country Returns", [=SuperJeenius=] takes the top path of a level and Josh reassures him the bottom path won't have any of the things they need to collect, like a letter...only for a letter to ''immediately'' appear down there.
227* ThatCameOutWrong: Referring to the upward slap attack in ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'': "This way, we can [[HoYay knock each other up]] and that sounded ''really'' strange."
228* ThatOneLevel: Considers [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Tiny-Huge Island, Tick Tock Clock, and Rainbow Ride]] to each be this type of level. InUniverse.
229* ThatsWhatSheSaid: In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' episode 23, about platforms that rise out of the lava and are temporarily red-hot and cause damage, but [[ConvectionSchmonvection not when they sink back in]]:
230-->'''[=SuperJeenius=]:''' So yeah, it hurts you on the way out, but not on the way in!\
231'''Josh:''' ...ThatsWhatSheSaid?
232* TookALevelInKindness: During his early years, Josh had a very high horsed and condescending attitude, and throughout most of his career, he took on a persona of TheGadfly. However, following a trip to the ER in September 2020 due to mental health issues, Josh returned with a much more relaxed and jovial personality compared to what he used to be, which has stuck with him since.
233* VerbalTic: [=SuperJeenius=] in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' comments "Lol!", "Sad!" and "Neat!" a lot in reaction to things in the game, and both he and Josh say "Nice!"
234** When Josh fumbles the name of something with a long name (or can't remember it) he slows down and ends it incongruously with "...pants?"
235* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Feels this way about Buzzy Beetles in Mario side-scrollers. In his Highlights video of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' he starts rambling about their secret evil plans in a ConspiracyTheorist fashion.
236* WithLyrics: He and [=SuperJeenius=] sing some LyricalDissonance lyrics along to Zelda's Lullaby in part 21 of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''.
237* WorthIt: Collaborating with LetsPlay/{{Lucahjin}} on ''{{Franchise/Barbie}} Horse Adventures.'' "This ''may'' have just ruined my Let's Playing reputation. But it was worth it for 'My Balls.'"
238* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: Josh and Jake call out ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' for having things like slapping and swimming as 'powers' you have to unlock and get from nymphs.
