9
10He also likes to [[SelfInsertFic cast himself]] as some sort of traveler OF THE NIGHT who goes to a video game world, quickly befriends the protagonist there, helps them win the game, then moves on. Think abridged series + let's play, [[ExcusePlot BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER!]]
11

35
36He first burst onto the LP scene in ULTRA OMEGA HEAVY METAL fashion in February 2009. After taking the entirety of 2011 off, he suddenly reappeared in April 2012, and uploaded videos regularly again for about a year. Sir Ron has been inactive since early 2013 due to his computer dying, though his output had been slowing considerably prior to that. He returned late August 2014 and posted multiple commentary-free Final Fantasy Tactics videos, then disappeared again for another few years before making his triumphant return in 2019 with Super Smash Bros. Melee.
37
38
39----
40!!Sir Ron, his [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]], and [[SpecialGuest Special Guests]] provide PERFECT examples of the following Trrropes:
41* TheAlcoholic: OH WHAT THE--! - What are you talking about? Sir Ron only drinks FANTASTIC [[DrunkOnMilk Chateau Romani!]]
42* AllMenArePerverts: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask "Oh you boys are all the same!"]] Also, during the sidequest wherein Link has to get a picture of the face of a female pirate, he retakes the photo so as to also include the pirate's cleavage.
43** [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Cecil]] : [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N44GdBhtW7Q#t=0m36s ALL RIGHT ROSA! I'LL PROTECT YOU! I LOVE YOU! LET'S MAKE OUT!]]
44* {{Angrish}}: With hilarious frequency.
45--> [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvYXI4r1kGU#t=3m35s "Calm down!"]]
46* ArcNumber: 7 hours and a half! HAHA!
47** Place Super Mario World has 12.
48* ArtisticLicenseGeology: Lampshaded. As we all know, Titanium is the strongest wood of all!!
49** Recent episodes reveal that the second-strongest wood of all is Uranium.
50* [[BadassAdorable Bada-- Adorable]]: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Palom and Porom]], especially with Palom learning Meteo shortly after Cecil's paladin transformation.
51* [[BadassCreed Bada-- Creed]]: "Why take the shortcut when you can go the long way?"
52* [[BadassBookworm Bada-- Bookworm]]: Sir Ron himself, as he went on hiatus to study [[PhantasySpelling Mathematicks]] course, Trrigonometry course, and computer science information technology course!
53* BashBrothers: Sir Ron and SPECIAL GUEST Andy the Anarchist in "Let's Go Back In Time And F!@# Around!"
54* BerserkButton: Averted for the most part; Ron is actually fairly easy-going, never letting anything get to him, not even a KaizoTrap. However, he plays it frighteningly ([[RuleOfFunny and hilariously]]) straight if he is cheated out of a large reward he most definitely earned.
55* [[BigOMG Big Oh My God]]: "... God!... GOD!... GOOOOOOOOD!!"
56* BoisterousBruiser: Sir Ron himself qualifies fantastically.
57* BreakTheHaughty: After the death[[spoiler:s of Palom and Porom]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', he starts to lose his HotBlooded attitude.
58* BuffySpeak: Sir Ron generally refers to beings he can't immediately identify as "man-guy-things"
59** Remember kids! Family never dies, they're your one true... things... Yeah!
60* CaptainObvious: Sir Ron gives [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Kafei]] this nickname after he explains the rather evident solution to getting through the trap rooms in the thief hideout. Kafei is naturally confused by this when Ron continues to call him such after going back in time again.
61--> '''Tatl:''' Who is that?\
62'''Ron:''' That is a man!
63* CatchPhrase: Quite a repertoire in fact, that keeps getting larger while also remaining completely recognizable. "OH WHAT THE--!" is the main offender, occasionally approaching VerbalTic levels.
64** {{VideoGame/Contra}} Man's words of wisdom to Sir Ron, "REMEMBER KID, DON'T GET DEAD/JUST KILL!"
65** One seems to serve as his gaming philosophy: "Why take a shortcut when you can take the long way?"
66* CoolShades: Sir Ron and his beautiful vampire queen are flaunting some in a previous Website/YouTube icon.
67* CouchGag : Not done by Sir Ron himself but by the highest rated comments on each of his videos, a lot of them are funny. Chances are, you'll be reading them first before watching the episode and it'll become a routine before you know it.
68* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His first LP, VideoGame/SuperMario64's, the first videos seem very unenthusiastic and lack his trademark voice. It can be rather off-putting to hear it after listening to another later LP of his.
69* CurseCutShort: OH WHAT THE-!
70** Whenever he does occasionally curse, he cuts those out. (e.g., "YOU MOTHERFU-) When he plays games with minor swears like "Hell" or "Damn", he reads them and cuts them out halfway, as well. He often parodies himself in this department, such as with the introduction of a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qZwap0deHI#t=2m26s certain bard]].
71*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LNHXQJRvdg#t=2m8s "DAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"]]
72*** For his ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' LP, he has to do a ''lot'' of editing to cut out all the times Andy the Anarchist swears. It makes the video extremely jerky.
73*** His [[http://youtu.be/C41J3S7y4lQ first video]] of his ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' LP contains a hilarious one. After going through the game for 20 minutes without so much as a single swear (possibly a record for this game) and only progressing three screens, he tries to jump down into a hole... and a platform pops up out of nowhere, blocking him. Sir Ron's reaction: "FFFUUU-!"<end of video>
74* TheDandy: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Gilbert]] would like to remind you that he is very handsome. Ahaaa...
75** So would [[VideoGame/{{Braid}} Tim]].
76* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In {{VideoGame/Contra}}, the giant alien man-guy-thing that looks like a YOU-KNOW-WHAT!!
77* DrunkOnMilk: He gets a little tipsy after drinking [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Chateau Romani]] which causes the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNetTJ4YSP0 hungover episode]] in [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV FF4]].
78* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Super Mario 64 LP starts with him speaking very calmly and normally. Starting at about Episode XXX, though, "Omega" Sir Ron starts to develop.
79* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: [[strike:Bill Rizer]] {{VideoGame/Contra}} Man!
80* EvilGloating : In the Hylian Loach arc, Sir Ron finally snapped at the fat fishes that kept taking the bait instead of the legendary fish, which in turn produced this memorable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo8a1nfmBQk#t=6m20s quote]]:
81-->'''Sir Ron:''' "You know what, I'm catching one of you guys, and then we're gonna put you on a frying pan, and then put a lot of butter on you, and then after putting a lot of butter on you guys, HRRGH! And then we gonna show you, the result to YOUR friends! YOU GOT THAT!? GET OVER HERE!".
82* {{Foreshadowing}}
83** He'll often make references to games that he will eventually LP.
84** In the Final Fantasy VIII Let's Play, while Seifer trains to power level 100, Squall and Zell seem to be watching the Galbadians assemble [=X-ATM092=].
85* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Often, his videos will feature [[SpecialGuest appearances]] by his wife, the lovely, vampiric [=MulanMoulin=]. She's almost always nicer than Sir Ron to the other characters.
86* GargleBlaster: Ron jokingly claims that [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Chateau Romani]] is "[[BeyondTheImpossible 1000 proof]]"[[labelnote:*]]That's 500% alcohol[[/labelnote]].
87* GentleGiant: Sir Ron portrays Ridley as this. Ridley apparently attacked the Space Colony because Sir Ron and the Contraman killed his [[YouKilledMyFather brother.]]
88* GoshDangItToHeck: He almost never swears, and says things like "kick some serious you-know-what".
89** This is due partly to the fact that sometimes there have been very young children in the room with him.
90** This proves to be a problem in the ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' LP, because Sir Ron's friends do not censor themselves, causing Sir Ron to have to make numerous content edits to the videos before they are posted.
91* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: In his {{VideoGame/Contra}} LP.
92** "We love women! I LOVE WOMEN!"
93* HeroicBSOD[=/=]OmnicidalManiac: The infamous [[RandomlyDrops Pink Tails]] incident. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDAYhhKzVOM Just watch.]]
94** The [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Hylian Loach]] incident. After so long, he gets only [[spoiler:50 rupees]]. He isn't pleased, to say the least, and begins [[spoiler:bombing the fisherman's house.]]
95** He has a small one after [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SuperMetroid being attacked by the Super Metroid, only to realize that it was the Metroid at the beginning of the game.]]]]
96* HiddenDepths: On a former description of his, Ron claimed that the reason he hasn't uploaded video in a while is because he studies for half of each day for his science classes. He also appears to be more self-deprecating in regards to his character.
97* HotBlooded: Sir Ron IS this trope. That's why he's so FANTASTIC OMEGA ULTRA!! YEAH!!!
98* HundredPercentCompletion: Sir Ron is nothing if not dedicated. Expect him to grab every last item, show off every last EasterEgg, and even demonstrate {{Game Breaking Bug}}s that force an off-camera replay to fix. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBFJW6aBmxk#t=7m30s "I'm a perfectionist, I never leave anything undone. HAHAHAHA!"]]
99** Could wind up being averted in ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy''. Unlike his other [=LPs=], Sir Ron appears to be playing this one totally blind, even stating in one video that he wished he could communicate with fans in real time so he'd know where to go next.
100* IncrediblyLamePun: He did this occasionally (read: a lot) in his FFIV LP.
101* InformedAbility: Link is supposedly a master archer, but generally hits all of his targets through [[MoreDakka quantity of arrows]] rather than [[ImprobableAimingSkills precision of arrows]].
102* InsistentTerminology: He's got quite a few.
103** [[HitPoints HP]] is always called "blood".
104** [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Power Rings]] are "golden onion rings".
105** ROM hackers are referred to as "construction workers".
106** Item subscreens are the character's "sail-you-lar phone with built-in GPS".
107** "Easy" and "Hard" mean the opposites.
108*** [[VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld *loads state]] [[PlatformHell 20 times in a row*]] ''[[http://youtu.be/RUH2Zv1Xsbc?t=6m30s "Why is this so EASY?!"]]''
109** His LP videos are always labelled in Roman numerals. This is commented upon by both sides of the WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} debate.
110* JerkJock: "Hah-Sahn"[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers (Jason)]] qualifies, what with him spending all his time at the gym and beating up nerds. Chyeah.
111* LampshadeHanging: Sir Ron loves to do this.
112** [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask "Oh? A sword?]] Forgive me sir. [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy If you have a sword, clearly that means you are a full-grown adult.]]"
113* LargeHam: Qualifies as this most of the time, but most obviously in ''{{VideoGame/Contra}}.''
114* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus describe some of Sir Ron's arguments with Super Mario 64-Bit as this until Super Mario 64-Bit finally resigns and accepts being Sir Ron's little bitch.
115* [[ManOfAThousandVoices Man Of Five Billion Voices]]: Okay, maybe not ''that'' many, but his range seems to be continuously expanding and even his earlier videos feature remarkably accurate voices for the main characters at the very least.
116* MilesGloriosus: X insists that he didn't need anybody's help, and that he beat [[HopelessBossFight Vile]] during the intro stage. Sir Ron calls him out on this frequently. He would be a SmallNameBigEgo if he was not so TITANIUM METAL.
117* MotorMouth: Especially the (longer each time, see below) introductions to his Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine[[note]] the Guinea Pig the Olympic Gold Medallist Swimmer the et cetera[[/note]] episodes.
118* {{MST}}: [[http://youtu.be/YtmSY3u9CUM Done]] by [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} Rrrretsupurae]], originally when Sir Ron was playing ''Majora's Mask''.
119** Inverted with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPX9ZMUMt8A Let's Recommend]] by [=ChipCheezum=] and General Ironicus. There also used to be a "Sir Ron Appreciation Station" on youtube (link now sadly dead) where a group of Website/SomethingAwful [=LPers=] talk about how much they like his work.
120* NoIndoorVoice: Link.
121** Sir Ron himself qualifies most of the time as well.
122* OverlyLongGag: With each zone, Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine's name gets longer. By the end, its "Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medallist Swimmer The Golden Onion Ring Eater The Spiky Rolling Blue Heavy Metal Pinball The Guinea Pig And Bunny Protector The Eggman Destroyer The 'Casper The Friendly Ghost' Protector PART 1"! YEAH!!
123** In the Star Light Zone, he spends an ''entire video'' trying to explain how to get an extra life he bypassed at the beginning, but ends up interrupting himself each time.
124** Once [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Navi]] mentions the "Hylian Loach", Sir Ron asks what it is. When Navi refuses to tell him, he asks about everyone they meet about it, only for them to either change the subject or ignore him completely.
125*** ArcFatigue: When Sir Ron finally finds out what the Hylian Loach is, he and Link spend ''seven full length videos'' trying to catch it.
126* PrecisionFStrike: Near the end of Ocarina of Time.
127-->'''Ganondorf''': Curse you, Zelda. Curse you, Sages. You mother[[CurseCutShort -{jumpcut}]], Link!
128* [[ResetButton Rrreset Button]]: The power of "Save State!", "Load State!", and "RRREWIND!" [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum Restricted]] to his adventures with [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Super Mario 16-Bit]].
129** And ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'', since being able to RRRREWIND! is vital to solving many of the puzzles.
130* [[RunningGag Rrrunning Gag]]: Almost every LP has some sort of mildly amusing quirk that somehow gets funnier with repetition.
131** ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'': Sir Ron visits every save station, and never saves.
132** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'': He talks to every Namingway, but never changes names.
133** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld The Cookie Crisis'': He savestates in slot #50.
134** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'': He keeps entering Tick Tock Clock intending to complete the "Get A Hand" star, but instead completes all the ones that are supposed to come ''after'' that. "Get A Hand" winds up being one of the very LAST stars he gets.
135*** Also, Super Mario 64-Bit doesn't pick up 100 coins for a world's Star. According to Sir Ron, the number that comes after 99 is "a thousand" at first, and eventually morphs into "one billion!" For example: {*mario has 95 coins*} "We have 95 coins! Only five more until we reach One Billion!!"
136** ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1'': Sonic's name gets added onto with each zone, eventually taking Sir Ron nearly 15 seconds to say even at MotorMouth speed.
137** When meeting a group of generic characters:
138-->'''Sir Ron:''' ''"Wow, you guys sound all the same!"\
139'''Generic NPC:''' ''"What are you talking about? We all sound very different!"''\
140
141* SamusIsAGirl: Until the very last part of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', Ron firmly believes that Samus isn't a girl, but a robot. He is thoroughly surprised when he learns the truth. But it is a FANTASTIC truth!
142* ShoutOut: Once in a while, Sir Ron, whilst conversing with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Gilbert]], will drop the title of ''What's Eating Gilbert Grape''. And then say he found a grape.
143** "TELLA! TELLA! [[LampshadeHanging Looks both ways.]] '''[[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire TELLA!!]]'''"
144** The Cookie Crisis: "Remember [[SpecialGuest Natalie]], it's [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail '1, 2, 5!']]
145** ANY GAME: Uh oh, Sir Ron pointed out a rolling rock. [[CatchPhrase Say it with him now!]] "HA HA! [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Rock ROLLING ROCKS!]]"
146** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYeY1fDh5vI#t=1m0s "HA HA!]] Film/GoldenEye!"
147** "LET'S FIGHTING LOOOOOOOOOOVE!" During his Braid playthrough.
148* StoryArc: Although not seen at first in his first few playthroughs, A ongoing story arc slowly became to form chronicling Sir Ron's FANTASTIC travels that usually revolve him around him trying to reunite with other video game characters that he's met with in the past.
149* TrappedInTVLand: Not exactly trapped, he imagines himself inside the game he's LP-ing (and travelling between them). So it's more like Adventures In TV Land.
150* SnowMeansDeath: While in the snowed-up mountains of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', Sir Ron is significantly less hotblooded, and is actively worried about the cold.
151* SorryILeftTheBGMOn: A lot of the in-game music is supposedly FANTASTIC Rrrringtones on different characters' sail-you-lar phones.
152* SpoofAesop: He practically has one for every game.
153** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': "Remember: Cool people eavesdrop on everyone."
154** VideoGame/SuperMetroid: "Remember, kids! If you want to find secrets, shoot the walls!"
155** Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers: "Remember, kids! Destroy cars, it's FANTASTIC!"
156** {{VideoGame/Contra}} 3: The Alien Wars: "Don't think, JUST KILL!"
157** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': "Remember kids, wasting your money is the GREATEST THING to do in life!"
158* TestosteronePoisoning: ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WATCH [[https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6805729040D24BD0 THIS LP]] IS '''NOT A REAL MAN!!'''
159* [[ThePowerOfRock The Power Of Heavy Metal]]: Everything Ron does or encounters is HEAVY METAL!
160** Doesn't hurt that he's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ZI2_R255g AWESOME with an electric guitar.]]
161* TheUnintelligible: VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog The Porcupine the (...) only speaks by occasionally saying "Yeah!"
162** Meanwhile, Link responds to most inquiries from Sir Ron with different inflections of "Yaaaah!"
163*** [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Sir_Ron_Lionhearts_Fantastic_Adventures/index.php?p=690798 "I DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF NON-SENSICAL YELLING!]]
164* TokenBlackFriend: Andy the Anarchist, and he makes sure you know.
165* TookALevelInJerkass: Super Mario 16-Bit seems to have grown callous in Sir Ron's absence, calling him "Stupid Man Lasagna" every chance he gets.
166* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Chateau Romani!]] Delicious!
167* TrrrillingRrrs: Interestingly enough, Sir Ron does this even when out of character. His normal speaking voice—which he uses for his first couple dozen videos—has a noticeable accent[[note]] Chicano perhaps? It was mentioned somewhere once that he lived in or near LA, and his friends speak Spanish during the ''Braid'' LP, so it's a reasonable assumption,[[/note]] that he decided to take up to eleven in-character.
168* UnstoppableRage: In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', Sir Ron loses his shit after receiving the Adamant Armor. [[spoiler:he had two Pink Tails in his inventory, but the guy who gave him the armor took ''both'' Tails and only gave him ''one'' Adamant Armor in return]].
169* VerbalTic: Sir Ron's "OH WHAT THE--!" could qualify.
170** Super Mario 16-Bit's constant insertion of "a-lasagna" into sentences definitely does.
171* VitriolicBestBuds : X and Sir Ron is type 2. It is interesting to note that only X has this kind of relationship with Sir Ron throughout Sir Ron's journey, the fact that Megaman is kind of an ass helps.
172-->'''Sir Ron:''' ''"YOU SUCK!"\
173'''X:''' ''"{{NO YOU}} SUCK!"''\
174'''Sir Ron:''' ''"NO YOU SUCK!"\
175'''X:''' ''"[[OverlyLongGag NO YOU SUCK!]]"''
176** Sir Ron also seem to have this relationship with Super Mario 16-Bit. As the [=LPs=] have continued, Super Mario 16-Bit takes increasing joy in insulting Sir Ron.
177* VocalEvolution : It took about 30 videos for him to develop the now famous manly voice.
178* WelcomeToCorneria : Averted in the ''[=FF8=]'' LP. Sir Ron dubs most of the [=NPCs=]' dialogue, so each NPC will only say something once and after that it'll be 'I'm not going to repeat myself'.
179* YouALLLookFamiliar: Lampshaded in one episode of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''. "Haha! Quadruplets!"
180
181->[[RunningGag See you next time on the next FANTASTIC episode of TVTropes! Fare thee well...]]
182-->'''Mario:''' What are jou talking about jou mang?, lasagna.
