"Welcome to GameToons! We make animated cartoon parodies of your favorite games!"
—The channel description.
GameToons
is a YouTube channel founded by K. William Scott of NewScape Studios that creates animated cartoons based on (often popular) video games (and, one time, Squid Game and Encanto). Their flagship Logic animations star a casual gamer who goes by Player (the guy in the beanie seen in the picture), who often tries various video games and often Lampshades the various leaps of logic within them, all while interacting with various characters from these games. Sometimes, some of his friends (including Veteran, Mr. Cheese, etc.) will join in on the fun.
There are three alternate channels of GameToons: GameTunes - the music-themed alternate channel - posts music videos often featuring characters from the main channel, GameToons Gaming - the gaming alternate channel - features the characters playing various Among Us mods, and GameToons Clips - the clips alternate channel - holds extremely short clips of their animations. GameToons also has a side channel, FilmToons, which hosts parodies of movies and TV shows.

TV Tropes Logic
- Adaptational Alternate Ending: "Squid Game Logic" ends with Player and Noob surviving while light shines upon them. In the original Squid Game, only Gi-Hun survives and the mood's somber.
- Adaptational Jerkass/Nice Guy: Player's attitude changes in each game, being kind but bitter due to his Butt-Monkey status in Among Us but also being a Deadpan Snarker Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist in Friday Night Funkin' or Minecraft.
- Art Evolution: Around the beginning of the second quarter of 2022, the quality of their animations have improved in the animation department.
- Battle in the Rain: The squid game in "Squid Game Logic" takes place while raining and there's even a lightning just as Veteran is about to stab Player.
- Become a Real Boy: The doll wants to use the prize money for a surgery to become a real girl. Player finds it weird due to her robot abilities seeming much more preferable.
- Canon Foreigner:
- Novisor from Among Us Logic. Don't be alarmed, Novisor is not real in Among Us. He only exists in the animations to serve as a villain and a Knight of Cerebus. There isn't even a role that's similar to Novisor's especially around the time of his arc as there were only ever two roles at that point, Crewmate and Impostor.
- Bubsy, Girlfriend's cat, in Friday Night Funkin' Logic. She isn't from the canon, and no mods have been made for her yet.
- Chernabog, also from FNF Logic. In the series, he can turn Micky Mouse into Micky.avi, but does not show up in Sunday Night Suicide or the creepypasta said mod was based on.
- Killy Willy in Poppy Playtime Logic. He does not appear in (what we currently have of) Poppy Playtime.
- Chirping Crickets: You can hear a cricket sound effect after 101 makes a "lose your marbles" joke that fails to impress Veteran.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Thanks to the doll's innate strength, the team with it wins tug of war with zero issue.
- Dark Is Evil: Any black, demonic entity, which happens to include Novisor, Chernabog, and Killy Willy. Heck, Novisor had haunted Player and caused him to fail all his life just to make him easier to possess.
- Novisor and Killy Willy, in particular, were corrupted and weren't initially evil. Novisor came to be when a player named Aiden was cursed by a laptopnote , while Killy Willy was a defect of Silly Billy.
- Death by Irony: In Squid Game Logic, 329 is the first player who votes to stay as he really wants the cash prize. He dies in the next game after breaking his honeycomb.
- Dissonant Serenity: Samantha manages to stay optimistic even as she tells how her family perished in an ice cream truck explosion and when she's about to die.
- Formula-Breaking Episode: Or Formula-Breaking Series, rather. Squid Game Logic is the first animation put out by GameToons that is not based on an actual video game, and so far the only one.
- Hat Damage: In the squid game portion of Squid Game Logic, Player blocks Veteran's knife with his hat, though it gets cut in half.
- Identical Stranger: In Squid Game Logic, we see (what looks to be) Veteran cracking his shape and getting shot, until it turns out the one who failed was a Red Shirt who looks almost exactly like him, while the real Veteran's perfectly fine.note
- Image Song:
- Any of the "The Life of X"note songs count as this, with each song being about a character's life from their birth and/or early years to present day. So far, they got out Mr. Cheese, Girlfriend, Sky, Whitty, Boyfriend/FNFL!Player, Garcello, and Taki.
- "How Do I Always Lose" is this for Player.
- Novisor has his titular song as well.
- Any of the "The Life of X"note songs count as this, with each song being about a character's life from their birth and/or early years to present day. So far, they got out Mr. Cheese
- Killed Mid-Sentence: The first Player who tries to cross the bridge in the glass stepping stones game dies just as she's about to explain how to tell whether glass is normal or tempered.
- Lighter and Softer: Zig-Zagged. Depending on whenever the game is or isn't supposed to be scary, the animations GameToons makes could end up leaving all the dark components in or taking them out, such as the case for Friday Night Funkin' Logic where all the mature stuff was taken out of it. Said show also avoided using blood and gore up until the Taki episode.
- Literally Shattered Lives: 101 disentegrates and gets shattered once he gets shot.
- Loot Boxes: In Squid Game Logic, Player is in financial ruin due to buying one too many lootboxes with his mom's credit card.
- Pragmatic Adaptation: GameToons is prone to making videos that are different to the canon of the source material to varying degrees. One notable offender is "ORGIN of the WUBBOX!"—While in the canon of My Singing Monsters, the Wubbox was the creation of the Celestial Monster Galvana, GameToons' video depicts the Wubbox being the creation of humans (to which the Monster World and the human world are separate in the canon), and has no mention of Galvana whatsoever.
- Red Shirt: Many of the Squid Game players save for Player, Veteran, and Noob.
- Swapped Roles: The plot of Squid Game Logic, but the Roles Are Reversed" involves the previous players hosting the games while the guards, the front man, and the robot from Red Light, Green Light are the players.
- The Bus Came Back: Squid Game Logic marked the return of Noob, who only appeared in the Fall Guys Logic episodes, and a single Among Us Logic episode beforehand.
- Transplant: If there's a game popular or noteworthy enough, leave it to GameToons to slap Player and maybe Veteran in there. Some of their own characters, most of whom originated from Among Us Logic, do appear in multiple one-shot animations as well.
