My name is Josh Jepson, but you knew that already!
JoshJepson
is a
Let's Player on
YouTube that is known some places as being "the guy who guested on
The Runaway Guys'
New Super Mario Bros. Wii LP". Josh is fairly popular among the community, with over 65,000 subscribers (and growing), he is also very distinctive, having a style mirroring that of
Chuggaaconroy, but a lot more swearing and sometimes, a lot of
weird sounds
.
He raced in
Super Mario Sunshine Versus against fellow LP'er,
AttackingTucans
. It now has its own page.
Current Let's Play:
Games JoshJepson has collaborated with someone on: (on their channels)
Tropes Used Include:
- Alliterative Name
- Atomic F-Bomb: Many times
- Big "YES!": Tends to take this trope to insane levels for a short time upon completing one of those levels.
- Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": In the DK Country Returns LP, both players decide that bananas are Blanabbas.
- Catch Phrase:
- Colbert Bump: His appearances in The Runaway Guys was the way several people got to know him.
- Also the ilomilo page on This Very Wiki wasn't made until his playthrough of the game finished.
- Cuteness Proximity: Just hear him talking the first time (or any other time for that matter) he finds "Poochy" in Yoshi's Island.
- Josh constantly mentions how adorable everything in Ilomilo is. He once barfed from cuteness overload.
- Curse Cut Short: In his Ocarina of Time LP he uses SHI*CLANG* a lot.
- Creator Backlash: According to Chuggaaconroy during a Runaway Guys video, Josh hates it when other people use "It's not supposed to go at an angle." yet he still insists on using it in his own projects.
- Epic Fail: In his Limbo LP, Josh comes across an obvious trap and tells himself not to jump in the large pit that sets up said trap. He goes in anyway.
- Hype Backlash: 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 admited it was cool, but he didn't find it fun.
- Large Ham: He occasionally throws his mic levels into the red.
- Let's Get Dangerous: When he gets serious about finishing a hard level, he gets completely silent to focus. He describes this as taking a cue from Super Jeenius, who did this as well when they played Donkey Kong Country Returns together.
- Let's Play-ing Against Type: Josh's first 15 LP's were all of games that were T-rated at most. His sixteenth one is the much Darker and Edgier Limbo.
- Mood Whiplash: Two. Firstly, he jumped from the relatively child-friendly The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past straight into a blind LP of LIMBO. 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. And now he's gone from that onto the sickeningly sweet*
He says it himself
ilomilo. - The Nicknamer: He gives nicknames to many of the enemy types and objects in Yoshi's Island. Also, "Bitchfish" from The Wind Waker.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: During Donkey Kong Country Returns episode 16.

- Sir Swears-a-Lot: He has recently started to cut back on or censor the swearing in his own LPs, though he still swear A LOT in his collaboration videos.
- And now he's back to normal.
- Stupid Statement Dance Mix: People seem fond of making these for "Oh my god! What the heck was the what the what the what?". Some example here
and here
- Suicidal Gotcha: Of an accidental variety, but in the Yoshi's Island 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.
- That One Level: Considers Tiny-Huge Island, Tick Tock Clock, and Rainbow Ride to each be this type of level. In-Universe.
- Worth It: Collaborating with Lucahjin on Barbie Horse Adventures. "This may have just ruined my Let's Playing reputation. But it was worth it for 'My Balls.'"
- You Keep Using That Word: Often refers to health points as Lives. No, not even Life, Lives.
Thank you guys for reading this trope page. I've been Josh Jepson, and I'll see you on the next one.
