"I'm Mr. Gibbs and welcome to a brand new TV Tropes page!"
"Alright, what's up everybody?!"
Ledger Gibbs (born January 27, 1996), better known as Mr. Gibbs
is a YouTube Lets Player born in Michigan. He primarily makes skits and roleplay videos with collaborators and friends in Garry's Mod.
Gibbs has no upload schedule, but uploads several videos weekly. As of October 2021, the channel has surpassed 1 million subscribers.
On May 18th, 2018, Mr. Gibbs announced the creation of a new YouTube channel titled "LJ Studios", where Ledger would begin releasing skits, music, and roleplay videos centered around the video game Fortnite. In June of that year, Gibbs would release an ordinary Garry's Mod video about exploring Nightmare Realms, which would end up being the last video for over a year. In July, 2019, Ledger released a new Minecraft video, apologising for the disappearance.
As of then, the channel has largely rebranded itself. The only game played currently is Garry's Mod, and the focus has shifted to having videos about training NPCs and running away from killer SNPCs.
Games Mr. Gibbs has played
Mr. Gibbs provides examples of:
- Absurdly Ineffective Barricade: In the Potato Hide and Seek video, Brock attempts to place a large amount of wooden blocks in front of a closet doorway so that it cannot open and thus he can't be found. Little to his knowledge, the door opens outward, leading to Ledger easily entering and deducing that the single potato in the closet is Brock.
- Accidental Murder: In "Duck Hunt Hide and Seek", Ledger carries around a hammer to kill Brock with, but drops it due to accidentally killing an NPC Duck Hunt by dropping it on their head.
- Adaptational Villainy: As a result of many of his killer creations being based on pop culture, many heroic characters become bloodthirsty monsters in his videos.
- Attack of the Killer Whatever: Many videos involve Ledger and co. running from whatever strange Monster of the Week is hunting them.
- Bad Santa: In "Santa Hide and Seek", in Ledger's own words, Santa's got his new Magnum, and he's not giving out coal to the naughty children this year.
- Baseball Episode: "Don't Nuke Yourself Challenge" serves as one. The video's whole premise is Alex and Ledger playing baseball using nuclear bombs. This goes very poorly.
- Bombproof Appliance: In "Don't Nuke Yourself Challenge", Alex spawns a fridge, thinking it is a bomb, only for him and Ledger to deduce it is meant to be for protection FROM bombs.
- Brick Joke: Early in their game of nuclear baseball, Alex asks what would happen if he bat the nuke back at Ledger, with them laughing about it a little. Much later, Alex actually manages to do it, to his and Ledger's shock and amazement.
- Bulletproof Human Shield: In "Kermit Hide and Seek", upon being discovered as a real person, Ledger runs into the shower and uses a Kermit as a bullet shield against Brock.
- Deadly Road Trip: Whenever Ledger and co. go anywhere, they'll end up running from some Monster of the Week, and can never seem to catch a break. Ledger even comments on this at one point.Ledger: When there is a ghost town, there's gonna be ghosts, and there's gonna be something that's gonna chase us around and murder us. That always happens, it happens every week. I don't know why we go anywhere.
- Didn't Think This Through: Brock is known to do this on many occasions, often resulting in his death from impulsiveness.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: In "Nextbot Stairway to Heaven", Brock has a tool that can supposedly cause things to "explode into sharks". He tests it on Ledger and Joe, who both explode and turn into sharks.
- Explosive Stupidity: In "Don't Nuke Yourself Challenge", Ledger and Alex decide to play baseball with a bunch of atomic bombs. One Little Boy and several deaths later, it's apparent that was a bad idea.
- Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Ledger remarks in his Almighty Loaf video that the Almighty Loaf itself looks adorable and peaceful, yet is ruthless and brutal, killing Ledger mid-sentence.Ledger: As you can tell by his lovely little smile and adorable little eyes, he's a fucking monster.
- Failed a Spot Check: In "Kermit Hide and Seek", Ledger hides himself amongst a large amount of boxes, then manages to sneak out past Brock, even stumbling over him, without getting caught.
- Happy Fun Ball: The Simple Soda Can looks identical to an ordinary can of soda. It just so happens to be a Ridiculously Potent Explosive.
- Hellhole Prison: In one video, Brock and Ledger visit the prison holding Mystery Inc. after they became drug dealers and got caught. The prison is wet, dirty, and very dark, and was horrible enough to make all four members snap into ruthless killers.
- Hell Is That Noise: In "WTF Happened To SpongeBob?!", Ledger and Tony are trying to get answers as to what happened to the Krusty Krab, and comment on the loud screaming from the kitchen, before deciding to enter it, and finding SpongeBob.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: Ledger and co.'s normal strategy in hide and seek is to do this. NPC characters will do a backwards or sideways shuffle away when bumped into, nicknamed the 'NPC shuffle', and it is up to the hider to try to imitate this when bumped into or else get caught.
- Incredible Shrinking Man: In "Duck Hunt Hide and Seek", Ledger shrinks himself down to a tiny size, and then hides ON Franko for his hiding spot.
- Last Place You Look:
- Inverted in "SpongeBob Hide and Seek", one round Ledger attempts to find Brock, and finds him immediately, having hidden on the Krusty Krab sign.
- Inverted in "Killer Teddy Bear Hide and Seek", Brock tries hiding on the McDonald's sign. When Ledger turns around, he sees him instantly.
- Played straight in "Duck Hunt Hide and Seek", where one round has Ledger spend almost 5 whole minutes searching the small campground for Franko. It takes Franko all but revealing his exact location and another 2 minutes for Ledger to finally find him in a fenced off back alley.
- Lethal Chef: In one video, when Ledger and Tony visit the Krusty Krab, the first sign something is horribly wrong with SpongeBob is when they order two Krabby Patties and receive a bloody skull and a rusty washing machine to eat instead.
- Needle in a Stack of Needles: Most hide and seek videos revolve around this concept. One player must turn into the same model as an NPC, then go hide amongst a bunch of them and try to not get found and killed by the other player.
- Non-Human Head: Ledger's usual player model is a regular human with a chicken head on top of the shoulders.
- Noodle Incident: In ''Kermit Hide and Seek", Ledger comments on how the house has been utterly destroyed by their horrible actions, only for Brock to remind him of the party, where things were supposedly worse and where "there were even more dead bodies than there are now".
- Out-Gambitted: In "Mr. Meseeks Hide and Seek", Brock tells Ledger he is hiding in cFNf, with the intent to blow him up upon entry. Ledger outsmarts this by putting a camera into cFNf first and seeing the bomb wall inside, only for Brock to outsmart this by shooting Ledger dead while he is distracted with the camera.
- Ridiculously Potent Explosive: In "Don't Nuke Yourself Challenge", one of the "bombs" is titled as "A Simple Soda Can" and looks like an ordinary soda can. It's the worst bomb out of all of them.
- Sanity Slippage: "WTF Happened To SpongeBob?!" starts with Ledger and Tony entering the Krusty Krab kitchen to find SpongeBob screaming and looked deranged. SpongeBob then proceeds to murder them both.Tony: This is not SpongeBob.
Ledger: That's SpongeBob, dude, he's just got- he's lost his fuckin' mind. - Searching the Stalls: In "Duck Hunt Hide and Seek", Ledger hides inside a women's bathroom stall, and panics when Franko finds him there after checking both sets of bathrooms.
