-> "Welcome to the [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} onl]]-- Welcome to the coolest channel on Website/YouTube."

[=GamerGod88=] (real name [[AllThereInTheManual Brendan]]) is a character created and played by Jack Douglass from WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}}, who grew to be the star of his own series on the Jacksfilms channel. An AffectionateParody of [[LetsPlay Let's Players]], [=GamerGod88=] started out as a reappearing character in some Jacksfilms sketches. The videos he featured in (dubbed "Not-Gaming Videos", by Jack) fake Let's Plays. In April 2014, Jack announced that he had plans to make [=GamerGod88=] the star of his own show.

[=GamerGod88=] received [[BrokenBase split opinions]] from WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} fanbase when it first launched. The original plan was to release two videos a day, but it was quickly turned down to one, and he later decided to instead release multiple [=GamerGod88=] videos as one bigger video every so often instead of making it a daily project. The reception that the show got was so poor that it not only surprised Jack but he ended up cancelling the show after not even a week. However, the show was {{Uncancelled}} in August of that year, and set to release a new video each Saturday, but [[ScheduleSlip quickly fell out of hand]].

As of April 1, 2015, [=GamerGod88=] has a Twitch account [[http://www.twitch.tv/gamergodlive here]] which he uses for weekly (in-character) livestreams. The first of these livestreams, which was not archived on the channel, can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zbm0KwA8ro here]].

----
* AccidentalMisnaming: [=GamerGod88=] rarely gets the name of the games he plays correct. He even calls "Five Hunks at Freddy's" "Friday Night-Lights Inside Freddy's".
* AffectionateParody: Of [[LetsPlay Let's Players]].
* AlterEgoActing: Since he's acted by Jack.
* AllThereInTheManual: According to the first livestream, [=GamerGod88=] is colourblind, Klondike (Jack's dog) isn't a dog, but a fox, and [=GamerGod88=]'s real name is Brendan.
* AprilFoolsDay: {{Averted|Trope}} with the launch of his new Twitch account, which actually is on April 1, 2015. This fate fell upon Jack as a result of him setting a date with his network Fullscreen.
-->'''[=GamerGod88=]''': It sounds like an April Fool's Day joke, but I promise, it is very real.
** Jack is very aware that most people won't believe him.
-->'''Jack on [=YouNow=] livestream''': Ah, fuck, no one's gonna believe me...oh, well.
* AscendedExtra: [=GamerGod88=] was originally a minor character in the Jacksfilms universe, only featuring in a few videos. Now he has his own series.
* AWinnerIsYou:
** ''Let's Not Play: The Last of Us'': [[spoiler:"your winner!!"]]
** ''Tony Hunk's Bro Skater'': [[spoiler:"Proud of you"]]
** ''GTAV Oh Man'': [[spoiler:"YOU ARE WIN" and "YUM YUM", while the PlayerCharacter lies dead on the ground.]]
** ''Wow Minecraft Cool'': [[spoiler:"Now you're holy!"]]
* BrickJoke: In ''Five Hunks at Freddy's'', Jack mentions that he has a hummingbird heart. He isn't joking - even on "pussy mode", the game still beats his heart-rate to ''four hundred''.
* CallBack: ''[=GamerGod88=] Begins'' references the WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} "Channel Trailer":
--> '''[=GamerGod88=]''': The onl-- [[LastSecondWordSwap The best channel on YouTube]].
* TheCameo:
** WebVideo/{{Tobuscus}} in ''Crazy Titanfall Gameplay Woah''
** WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} in ''Dark Souls 2 with Markiplier''
** Cyr as Tony Hunk in ''Tony Hunk's Bro Skater''
** Olga Kay as the titular girl in ''Undress the Girl''
** [=GamerGod88=] himself in YGS #87.
* CatchPhrase: "Hey everyone it's me, [[TitleDrop GamerGod88]]."
** "Drive safe."
* TheComputerShallTauntYou: In ''Fortune Teller Simulator'', [[spoiler:every possible outcome involves the player getting "your gay" as their fortune.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The episodes of PMS he features in largely portray him as a much more competent {{Lets Play}}er.
* FakeDifficulty: All of the questions in ''Undress the Girl'' were pretty much unanswerable, and he was unable to get even one correct.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In ''Five Hunks at Freddy's'', the name of the "Pizza Cam" changes repeatedly, to "[[CallBack Proud of You]]", "Skiball Cam", "Hell Yes", "B-Ball Cam", "Best day everrrrr-" and "Impossible is nothing".
* GoodBadBugs: [[invoked]] ''Tony Hunk's Bro Skater'' turns out to be full of these.
** [[spoiler:GameBreakingBug: ...Which leads to the video ending with the game breaking completely, with Tony Hunk glitching out and hovering above the words "[[AWinnerIsYou PROUD OF YOU]]".]]
* {{Hunk}}:
** Tony Hunk, [[MeaningfulName naturally]].
** In ''Five Hunks At Freddy's'', [=GamerGod88=], among checking the different cameras, switches twice to the "Hunk Cam", which just shows a [[{{Fanservice}} shirtless picture of himself]].
* IconicItem: [=GamerGod88=]'s headphones.
* InsistentTerminology: The skateboard colors in ''Tony Hunk's Bro Skater'' are "red", "dark pink", "blood", and "stoplight". They're all the same color, though.
* JitterCam: In ''Tony Hunk's Bro Skater'', when the camera zooms out, and in "Dance Dance Revolution Revolution" when the [=GoPro=] footage is shown.
* {{Jumpscare}}: Two in ''Five Hunks at Freddy's'': The first is [[spoiler:Ray William Johnson]], the second is [[spoiler:Klondike]].
* MusicalEpisode: ''Dark Souls 2 with Markiplier''.
* OrphanedSeries: The series was cancelled after seven episodes due to not being as well-received as Jack had hoped. Subverted, however, when the show returned months later as a weekly project.
* PleaseSubscribeToOurChannel: [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} Jack]] often parodies this trope especially in this show, [=GamerGod88=] being far from exempt (in-universe anyway). In ''Metal Gear Solid Crazy'':
--> '''[=GamerGod88=]''': Thanks for watching, don't forget to Google all my pluses.
* {{Pun}}: In ''Metal Gear Solid Crazy'':
--> '''[=GamerGod88=]''': The gameplay is... ''solid'', pardon the pun.
* RecycledPremise[=/=]RecycledINSPACE: Averted. A main concern about the show was that all the episodes would be too repetitive and similar to each other, but when the show started, Jack confirmed that each episode will have its own unique premise and joke(s).
* RunningGag:
** [=GamerGod88=] ending his videos with "Drive safe!"
** The [[spoiler:"Your gay"]] gag in ''Fortune Teller Simulator'' is carried over from a RunningGag in [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} Jackask]].
** Jack's [[spoiler:apparent hatred for Ray William Johnson's style of comedy]] is brought up in ''Five Hunks at Freddy's''.
* ScreenShake: "DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION REVOLUTION", which has [=GamerGod88=] incorporating his dancing from the perspective of a [=GoPro=] mounted on his head. Of course, it shakes violently.
%%* SerendipitousSymphony: ''GTAV Oh Man''.
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:[=GamerGod88=] reveals at the end of "DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION REVOLUTION" that his dance pad doesn't even work, since his dog Klondike had chewed up the cords.]]
* ShoutOut: The song [=GamerGod88=] and Markiplier sing in the ''Dark Souls 2'' video is to the tune of [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?"]]
* SimpletonVoice: Excluding the "Let's Not Play" videos, where [=GamerGod88=] spoke in a normal voice, Jack gives him one of two voices: either moderately slurred (like he's had one too many drinks), or slovenly and quasi-seductive.
* SoreLoser: [=GamerGod88=] rarely reacts well to losing in a game. In the first livestream, he played Smash Bros on his DS without even looking at the screen (as it was angled towards his computer's webcam), and was shocked to discover he placed last.
-->'''[=GamerGod88=]''': That's some bullshit, clearly I was in... fourth place? ...Alright, well my game's broken, that's fine. Um, I'll be writing to Nintendo about that, they will be hearing from my lawyer, because that's just... disrespectful.
* StylisticSuck: Basically the whole point of the show.
* SurprisePregnancy: [=GamerGod88=]'s partner in ''Dark Souls 2''. [[spoiler:Subverted when they finish their sentence at the end of the video.]]
* TakeThat: The first jumpscare in ''Five Hunks at Freddy's'' is stock footage of [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/EqualsThree Ray William Johnson]].]]
* TongueTwister: From the ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' episode:
-->'''[=GamerGod88=]''': You may have noticed I'm wearing a [=GoPro=] on my forehead, bro, because we're gonna go, bros, real soon on my [=GoPro=], bro!
* {{Uncancelled}}: As of "Jackask #24". The daily show surprised Jack with its poor reception, and was cancelled before a single week of content had been released. Jack always planned to bring the show back, perhaps as bundles packaged as a regular "PMS" episode, but he finally settled on an occasional video series with regular livestreams on Twitch.
* UnusualEuphemism: In ''Metal Gear Solid Crazy'':
--> '''[=GamerGod88=]''': And to all the boys out there - don't forget to protect your [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snakes]]. Safe sex is happy sex.
* WhamLine: [=GamerGod88=] is hit with two within five minutes in "Dark Souls 2":
--> '''Text''': I think I'm like pregnant\\
[[spoiler:... Pregnant with this FOOD BABY. Hashtag Chipotle amirite]]
* YouBastard: In ''Undress the Girl'', [[spoiler:[=GamerGod88=] fails to answer any of the questions, and since the girl puts on another article of clothing for every wrong question, by the end she ends up looking like she's ready for an expedition in the mountains. And not only that, but she dies of heat stroke.]]
