5''Next Time On Lonny'' is a comedy series on Website/YouTube that [[TheParody parodies]] the RealityShow genre. The eponymous character in the ShowWithinAShow ''Lonny'' is "a flavorless twenty-something... [meandering] through his hipster existence desperately trying to meet girls." But OnTheNext ''Lonny'', "things get interesting... very interesting."

10!!''Next Time On Lonny'' provides examples of the following tropes:
11
12%%* AbhorrentAdmirer: Chet to Lonny:
13%%--> '''Chet''': You know what the dog said to me the other day, Lonny?\
14%%'''Lonny''': No-- no I don't, Chet...\
15%%'''Chet''': He said it'd sure be swell if Carolyn died 'cause then I could be your new girlfriend.\
16%%''[Chet turns towards Lonny]''\
17%%'''Lonny''': Hey, Lonny, can I be your girlfriend?
18%%* TheAggressiveDrugDealer
19%%-->'''Eddy:''' You ever... uh... huffed a human soul?
20* AlwaysABiggerFish: The [[spoiler:Bardoxieds]] are much, much bigger than the [[spoiler:Gorblaxians]].
21%%* AxCrazy: Lonny's [[SplitPersonality alternate personality]] Chet. Well, more like [[spoiler:shovel crazy]].
22* BadassBoast: "I done shot a thousand cops on my block with a glock / and if that glock get hot, gangsta you gon' get got!"
23* BingeMontage: Lonny and Eddy do a lot of drugs in "Lonny Goes Big Time," including cocaine, marijuana, and ''[[NightmareFuel human souls]].''
24%%* ButtMonkey: GARRETT.
25%%* CallBack: Dog Moon reappears [[FreezeFrameBonus for a second]] in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party."
26* TheCasanova: Lonny tends to have a new girlfriend in every episode, only for things to go horribly wrong in the next time preview. Two girls, Bethany and Stepanie, last multiple episodes but still always have their relationships with Lonny ruined every time they appear.
27* CatchPhrase
28** "You're really pretty, you know that?"
29** "Oh no!"
30* CrazyPrepared: Lonny's [[SplitPersonality alternate personality]] Chet in episode 1: "We have to bury the body... there's a landfill not too far outside of town. We'll inject the body with some embalming fluid and then [[DisposingOfABody toss it in a grave]] that I started digging early last week."
31%%* ComedicSociopathy
32%%* ConfessionCam: "Next Time, After That Time."
33%%* DeconstructiveParody
34* DependingOnTheWriter: Entire characters change from episode to episode, most notably Lonny, who can go from a single parent [[WhiteGangBangers White Gang Banger]] to a struggling wall street shark on completely different ends of the country. Chet also goes from being Lonny's psychotic [[ToxicFriendInfluence best friend]] and alternate personality to being the OnlySaneMan to the uncontrollable Lonny.
35%%* FantasticDrug: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]], since the episode had already shown cocaine and marijuana use before Lonny and Eddy huff human souls.
36* {{Foreshadowing}}:
37** Lonny talks about his friend coming from his hometown, says "Chippewa Falls, my hometown, what, represent!" and [[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain flashes a gang sign]]. [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster One episode later...]]
38** At the beginning of ''Lonny is Famous'', Lonny says he has "yellow fever" when talking about his new (Asian) girlfriend Jerrica. Later in the episode, [[spoiler:Lonny is exiled to Japan due to it being the only nation in the world that doesn't hate him.]]
39* FreezeFrameBonus:
40** The credits to ''Lonny'' change each episode, and include "Fluffer Consultant" Creator/JamesCameron, "[[IronicNickname Police Supervisor]]" [[PoliceBrutality Rodney King]], and a "Special Thanks" to [[Creator/CharlieSheen Carlos Estevez]].
41** Also, Dog Moon in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party."
42%%* MoreDakka: "My gun go off, nukka!"
43* NWordPrivileges: Played straight. Gangsta Lonny is the "token" {{white gang banger|s}} in his crew, but he can only call his boys "nukkas."
44* NegativeContinuity: A major source of the show's humor.
45** Oh hey look, Garrett's alive again.
46** Humanity was a SlaveRace for a while, but everything's cool now.
47** Apparently, multiple homicides caught on camera]] just don't have the same legal ramifications in Lonny's world as they do in ours.
48** Lonny's old friend returns in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party," and everyone sees and interacts with him. Odd behavior for a schizophrenic hallucination, isn't it?[[CaptainObvious Yes, yes it is.]]
49%%* OnTheNext: Well, yeah. Also, "Next Time, After That Time."
50%%* PleaseWakeUp: "Oh you're okay you're okay... you're alive you're alive... don't you die on me!"
51%%* PsychoExGirlfriend: "Yo Nukka! you talkin' shit about my dry pussy?
52* RecklessGunUsage: In episode 6 (and its associated music video and deleted scenes), Lonny does the following:
53** [[WeaponForIntimidation Rubs his gun on a fellow gangbanger's face.]]
54** Shoots his gun off to the side and [[FiringInTheAirALot straight up into the air]].
55** "Points" at anything of interest with the gun.
56** Points it at his own head during the music video.
57** And yet, Lonny still exercises good [[UsefulNotes/GunSafety trigger discipline]]...
58%%* RefugeInAudacity: {{Justified|Trope}}, because with a few less murders and psychotic breaks ''Lonny'' would fit well between ''Series/TrueLife'' and ''Series/TheRealWorld''.
59%%* RuleOfFunny: Pretty much the only reason the show makes any sense.
60* StartOfDarkness: The producer of Lonny's record chastised him for his gangbanging lifestyle. He later commits an act of gangbanging himself after Lonny claims that he alone created the record.
61* ShoutOut:
62** Episode 1: ''Film/FightClub'': the alternate, insane personality]] and ''Film/{{Goodfellas}}'': the "shoot the still-living person in the trunk" scene.
63** Episode 2: ''Film/IndependenceDay''
64** Episode 3: ''Goodfellas'' as evidenced by Lonny's impersonation of Henry Hill.
65** Episode 5: ''Franchise/IndianaJones''
66%%* ShowWithinAShow: ''Lonny'' itself.
67* TemporalParadox: Lonny meets himself from the future. And then himself from further in the future. And then himself from even ''further'' in the future. It gets worse from there.
68%%* TheyKilledKennyAgain: "Oh no!"
69* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Lonny generally comes off as a stereotypical overprivileged douchebag twenty-something in the "regular" episodes. [[NegativeContinuity During the "next time" segments]], however, his behavior can range from a {{Jerkass}} to surprisingly sympathetic, due to his entire character generally completely changing.
70%%* YourMakeupIsRunning: Lonny's girlfriend in Episode 3.
