Lets Play: Sir Ron Lionheart

"Every video is the same, but once you watch one you cannot STOP. His videos are made of Pringles!"
—Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus, Let's Recommend :-)

OH WHAT THE—

Hello, this is SIR RON LIONHEART

, and WELCOME TO LET'S PLAY the Sir Ron Lionheart TV Tropes page!! Fantastic!

Sir Ron Lionheart is a FANTASTIC Let's Player who started out sounding normal, but then got a MANLY VOICE! YEAH! IN YOUR FACES!

He also likes to cast himself as some sort of traveler who goes to a video game world, quickly befriends the protagonist there, helps them win the game, then moves on, think abridged series + let's play, BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER!

Sir Ron has done FANTASTIC Let's Plays of the following games:

Super Mario 64-bit!
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask!
The Legendof Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest!
Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine!
Kaizo Mario World!
Kaizo 2 Mario World!
Themed Super Mario World!
Super Mario World: Cookie Crisis!
Mighty Morphin' POWER Rangers!
Mega Man X!
Contra 3: The Alien Wars!
Super Metroid!
Final Fantasy IV!
Final Fantasy VIII! (on hold)
Place Super Mario World!

There is also a SUPER ULTRA OMEGA Webcomic about him: Sir Ron Lionheart's FANTASTIC Adventures - Doing it perfectly!!

Sir Ron, his Let's Plays, and Special Guests provide PERFECT examples of the following Trrropes:

The Alcoholic: Oh what the - what are you talking about? Sir Ron only drinks fantastic Chateau Romani!
All Men Are Perverts: "Oh you boys are all the same!" Also, during the sidequest wherein Link has to get a picture of the face of a female pirate, he retakes the photo so as to also include the pirate's cleavage.
- Cecil : ALL RIGHT ROSA! I'LL PROTECT YOU! I LOVE YOU! LET'S MAKE OUT!
Alternate Character Interpretation: Prevalent in universe.
- Majora's Mask: Zora's are eavesdroppers and mild perverts, Link can only speak in shouts, Tatl is a Cheerful Child, Kafei is Captain Obvious, and the Indi-Go-Gos are a heavy metal band.
- Sonic The Hedge Hog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig: Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medalist Swimmer is The Unintelligible and possesses Super Strength as well as Super Speed.
- Mega Man X: Mega Man X is a Miles Gloriosus who would rather not fight out of laziness rather than being a Technical Pacifist.
- Contra 3: The Alien Wars: Contra Man is a SUPER MANLY Bada- that is hardened to the point that his advice to newcomers like Sir Ron consists solely of "Don't think; JUST KILL!" and "Don't get Dead"
- Final Fantasy IV: The King of Baron is a glutton, Yang and his wife are masters of Drunken Boxing as well as Tae-Kwon-Do, and Palom is hyperactive boy who loves to play Tic-Tac-Toe.
  - Rydia "hmphs" a lot at Sir Ron, Gilbert compliment his looks a lot, Edge is a sexual deviant who kept harassing Rydia, Golbeze laughs too much and, Cecil himself is now the Contra Man after becoming a paladin.
Angrish: With hilarious frequency.
- "Calm down!"
Arc Number : 7 hours and a half! HAHA!
Awesome, but Impractical and/or Awesome yet Practical: HAAA-HAAAA-HADOKEN has a little of Column A and a little of Column B.
Awesome Mc Cool Name
Bada- Adorable: Palom and Porom, especially with Palom learning Meteo shortly after Cecil's paladin transformation.
Bada- Creed: "Why take the shortcut when you can go the long way?"
Bada- Bookworm: Sirron himself, as he is on hiatus to study Mathematicks course, Trrigonometry course, and computer science information technology course!
Berserk Button: Averted for the most part; Ron is actually fairly easy-going, never letting anything get to him, not even a Kaizo Trap. However, he plays it frighteningly (and hilariously) straight if he is cheated out of a large reward he most definitely earned.
Big Oh My God: "... God!... GOD!... GOOOOOOOOD!!"
Boisterous Bruiser: Sir Ron himself qualifies fantastically.
Break the Haughty: After the deaths of Palom and Porom in Final Fantasy IV, he starts to lose his Hot Blooded attitude.
Buffy Speak: Sir Ron generally refers to beings he can't immediately identify as "man-guy-things"
- Remember kids! Family never dies, they're your one true...things...Yeah!
Captain Obvious: Sir Ron gives Kafei this nickname after he explains the rather evident solution to getting through the trap rooms in the thief hideout. Kafei is naturally confused by this when Ron continues to call him such after going back in time again.
- Tatl: Who is that?
- Ron: That is a man!
Catch Phrase: Quite a repertoire, in fact, that keeps getting larger while also remaining completely recognizable. "OH WHAT THE!" is the main offender, occasionally approaching Verbal Tic levels.
- Contra Man's words of wisdom to Sir Ron, "REMEMBER KID, DON'T GET DEAD/JUST KILL!"
Cool Shades: Sir Ron and his beautiful vampire queen are flaunting some in his YouTube icon.
Couch Gag : Not done by Sir Ron himself but by the highest rated comments on each of his videos, a lot of them are funny. Chances are, you'll be reading them first before watching the episode and it'll become a routine before you know it.
Characterization Marches On: His first LP, Super Mario 64's, first videos seem very unenthusiastic and lack his trademark voice. It can be rather off-putting to hear it after listening to another, later LP of his.
Curse Cut Short: OH WHAT THE-
- Whenever he does occasionally curse, he cuts those out. (e.g., "YOU MOTHERFU-) When he plays games with minor swears like "Hell" or "Damn", he reads them and cuts them out halfway, as well. He often parodies himself in this department, such as with the introduction of a certain bard.
  - "DAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"
The Dandy: Gilbert would like to remind you that he is very handsome. Ahaaa...
Does This Remind You of Anything?: In Contra, the giant alien man-guy-thing that looks like a YOU-KNOW-WHAT!!
Doing It for the Art From his Youtube profile, "Remember that my LPs are a personal hobby of mine and I never want to make them a "job". I don't fake enthusiasm, sorry."
- In his Final Fantasy IV LP, he grinded 5 hours straight the moment he went out of the village in the beginning of the game by leveling Cecil and Cain to 20. Of course, he didn't record it for our convenience. And that's just the first grind.
Drunk on Milk: He gets a little tipsy after drinking Chateau Romani which causes the hungover episode in FF4.
Ear Worm : Since every game he plays at least has one or two of these, he likes to hum-Or rather, "sing" the ear worm with his laughter.
Early Installment Weirdness: Super Mario 64 starts with him speaking very calmly and normally. Starting at about episode 30, though, "Omega" Sir Ron starts to develop.
Everyone Calls Him Barkeep: ~~Bill Rizer~~ Contra Man!
Evil Gloating : In the Hylian Loach arc, Sir Ron finally snapped on the fat fishes that kept taking the bait instead of the legendary fish which in turn produce this memorable quote:
- "You know what, I'm catching one of you guys, and then we're gonna put you on a frying pan, and then put a lot of butter on you, and then after putting a lot of butter on you guys, HRRGH! And then we gonna show you, the result to YOUR friends! YOU GOT THAT!? GET OVER HERE!".
Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Often, his videos will feature appearances by his wife, the lovely, vampiric MulanMoulin. She's almost always nicer than Sir Ron to the other characters.
Gargle Blaster: Ron jokingly claims that Chateau Romani is "1000 proof".
Gosh Dang It to Heck!: He almost never swears, and says things like "kick some serious you-know-what".
Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: In his Contra LP.
- "We love women! I LOVE WOMEN!"
Heroic BSOD / Omnicidal Maniac: The infamous Pink Tails incident. Just watch.
- The Hylian Loach incident. After so long, he gets only 50 rupees. He isn't pleased, to say the least, and begins bombing the fisherman's house.
- He has a small one after being attacked by the Super Metroid, only to realize that it was the Metroid at the beginning of the game.
Hidden Depths: On a former description of his, Ron claimed that the reason he hasn't uploaded video in a while is because he studies for half of each day for his science classes. He also appears to be more self-deprecating in regards to his character.
Hot Blooded
100% Completion: Sir Ron is nothing if not dedicated. Expect him to grab every last item, show off every last easter egg, and even demonstrate GameBreakingBugs that force an off-camera replay to fix. "I'm a perfectionist, I never leave anything undone. HAHAHAHA!"
Incredibly Lame Pun : He did this occasionally (read:a lot) in his FFIV LP.
Informed Ability: Link is supposedly a master archer, but generally hits all of his targets through quantity of arrows rather than precision of arrows.
Insistent Terminology: He's got quite a few.
- HP is always called "blood".
- Power Rings are "golden onion rings".
- ROM hackers are referred to as "construction workers".
- "Easy" and "Hard" mean the opposites.
  - *loads state 20 times in a row* "WHY IS THIS SO ''EASY?!''"
Jerk Jock: "Hah-Sahn"(Jason) qualifies, what with him spending all his time at the gym and beating up nerds. Chyeah.
Lampshade Hanging: Sir Ron loves to do this.
- "Oh? A sword? Forgive me sir. If you have a sword, clearly that means you are a full-grown adult."
Large Ham: Qualifies as this most of the time, but most obviously in Contra.
Like an Old Married Couple: Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus describe some of Sir Ron's arguments with Super Mario 64-bit as this until Super Mario 64-bit finally resigns and accepts being Sir Ron's little bitch.
Man Of Five Billion Voices: Okay, maybe not that many, but his range seems to be continuously expanding and even his earlier videos feature remarkably accurate voices for the main characters at the very least.
Miles Gloriosus: Mega Man X insists that he didn't need anybody's help, and that he beat Vile during the intro stage. Sir Ron calls him out on this frequently. He would be a Ted Baxter if he was not so TITANIUM METAL.
Moe: Tatl, at least in personality.
Motor Mouth: Especially the (longer each time; see below) introductions to his Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medalist Swimmer The Golden Onion Ring Eater episodes.
MST: Done by Rrrretsupurae, originally when Sir Ron was playing Majora's Mask.
- Inverted with Let's Recommend by ChipCheezum and General Ironicus. There's also this, where a group of Something Awful LPers talk about how much they like his work.
No Indoor Voice: Link
- Sir Ron himself qualifies most of the time as well.
No Pronunciation Guide: Played with. Throughout his Majora's Mask LP, Sir Ron consistently leaves out the t-sound. Many videos later, in the Ocarina of Time LP, Navi reminds him it is pronounced "Tattle". He still insists on "Tal" though.
- He also pronounces "Hyrule" as "hee-ROOL".
- And FuSoYa and KluYa as "ef yu es ou why eh" and "kay el yu why eh" respectively.
Overly-Long Gag: With each zone, Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medalist Swimmer The Golden Onion Ring Eater The Spiky Rolling Blue Heavy Metal Pinball's name gets longer. By the end, its "Sonic The Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medalist Swimmer The Golden Onion Ring Eater The Spiky Rolling Blue Heavy Metal Pinball The Guinea Pig And Bunny Protector The Eggman Destroyer The 'Casper The Friendly Ghost' Protector PART 1"! YEAH!!
- In the Star Light Zone, he spends an entire video trying to explain how to get an extra life he bypassed at the beginning, but ends up interrupting himself each time.
- Once Navi mentions the "Hylian Loach", Sir Ron asks what it is. When Navi refuses to tell him, he asks about everyone they meet about it, only for them to either change the subject or ignore him completely.
  - Arc Fatigue: When Sir Ron finally finds out what the Hylian Loach is, he and Link spend seven full length videos trying to catch it.
Precision F-Strike: Near the end of Ocarina of Time.
Ganondorf: Curse you, Zelda. Curse you, Sages. You mother-{jumpcut}, Link!
Rrreset Button: The power of "Save State!", "Load State!", and "RRREWIND!" Restricted to his adventures with Super Mario 16-bit.
Rrrunning Gag: Almost every LP has some sort of mildly amusing quirk that somehow gets funnier with repetition.
- Super Metroid: Sir Ron visits every save station, and never saves.
- Final Fantasy IV: He talks to every Namingway, but never changes names.
- Super Mario World The Cookie Crisis: He savestates in slot #50.
- Super Mario 64: He keeps entering the Tick Tock Clock intending to complete the Get A Hand star, but instead completes all the ones that are supposed to come after that.
Samus Is a Girl: Until the very last part of Super Metroid, Ron firmly believes that Samus isn't a girl, but a robot. He is thoroughly surprised when he learns the truth. But it is a FANTASTIC truth!
Schedule Slip: Sir Ron dissapeared for ~~several months~~ a hundred billion years. Whenever something takes a long time or this occurrs between uploads, he will joke that that the protagonist has has been "standing there for seven-and-a-half hours now".
Series Hiatus : Sir Ron is busy studying, his last video is about 5 months ago as of this edit.
Shout Out: Once in a while, Sir Ron, whilst conversing with Gilbert, will drop the title of What's Eating Gilbert Grape. And then say he found a grape.
- "TELLA! TELLA! Looks both ways. TELLA!!"
- The Cookie Crisis: "Remember Natalie, it's '1, 2, 5!'
- ANY GAME: Uh oh, Sir Ron pointed out a rolling rock. Say it with him now! "HA HA! ROLLING ROCKS!"
- Ocarina of Time: "HA HA! GoldenEye!"
Trapped in TV Land : Not exactly trapped, he imagines himself inside the game he's L Ping (and travelling between them). So it's more like Adventures In TV Land.
Snow Means Death: While in the snowed-up mountains of Majora's Mask, Sir Ron is significantly less hotblooded, and is actively worried about the cold.
Left the Background Music On: A lot of the in-game music is supposedly FANTASTIC Rrrringtones on different characters' sail-u-lar phones.
Spoof Aesop: He practically has one for every game.
- Majora's Mask: "Remember: Cool people eavesdrop on everyone."
- Super Metroid: "Remember, kids! If you want to find secrets, shoot the walls!"
- Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: "Remember, kids! Destroy cars, it's FANTASTIC!"
- Contra 3: The Alien Wars: "Don't think, JUST KILL!"
- Ocarina of Time: "Remember kids, wasting your money is the GREATEST THING to do in life!"
Talking to Himself: He frequently pretends to converse with the protagonists. By Final Fantasy IV, he's even adding roars and death cries of major enemies. Then comes Final Fantasy VIII, where almost every onscreen character gets their own line or vocalization, meaning he's not only Talking to Himself, but talking OVER himself!
- Recently lampshaded...
  Link
  YAAAAAARGH! RAAAAAAAH! YAAAAAAAAAAA!
  Ron
  Haha, Link is here too!
  Natalie
  That's... just you!
Testosterone Poisoning: ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WATCH THIS LP IS NOT A REAL MAN!!
The Power Of Heavy Metal: Everything Ron does or encounters is HEAVY METAL!
- Doesn't hurt that he's also AWESOME with an electric guitar.
The Unintelligible: Sonic the Hedgehog The Porcupine The Guinea Pig The Olympic World Medalist Swimmer The Golden Onion Ring Eater The Spiky Rolling Blue Heavy Metal Pinball The Guinea Pig And Bunny Protector only speaks by occasionally saying "Yeah!"
- Meanwhile, Link responds to most inquiries from Sir Ron with different inflections of "Yaaaah!"
  - "I DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF NON-SENSICAL YELLING!
Took A Level In Jerka-: Super Mario 16-bit seems to have grown callous in Sir Ron's abscence, calling him "Stupid Man Lasagna" every chance he gets.
Trademark Favorite Food: Chateau Romani! Delicious!
Trrrilling Rrrs
Unstoppable Rage: In Final Fantasy IV, Sir Ron loses his shit after receiving the Adamant Armor. he had two Pink Tails in his inventory, but the guy who gave him the armor took both Tails and only gave him one Adamant Armor in return.
Vitriolic Best Buds : Megaman X and Sir Ron is type 2. It is interesting to note that only Megaman X has this kind of relationship with Sir Ron throughout Sir Ron's journey, the fact that Megaman is a bit of an ass helps.
Sir Ron: ''"YOU SUCK!"
Megaman X: "NO YOU SUCK!"
Sir Ron: ''"NO YOU SUCK!"
Megaman X: "NO YOU SUCK!"
Vocal Evolution : It took him about 15 episodes for him to develop the now famous manly voice.
Welcome to Corneria : Averted in FF 8 LP, Sir Ron dubs most of the NPCs' dialogue, so each NPC will only say something once and after that it'll be 'I'm not going to repeat myself'.
You Fail Geology Forever: As we all know, titanium is the strongest wood of all!
- Recent episodes reveal that the second strongest wood of all is Uranium.
You ALL Look Familiar: Lampshaded in one episode of Final Fantasy IV. "Haha! Quadruplets!"
