"In a surprising turn of events, it's raining in England."
A web series on the
Vlogbrothers Hank Games channel in which
John Green talks about things while the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers play football. While John isn't actually very good at the game, he still manages to intrigue watchers with the stories he tells or the topics about which he talks. The players have become characters with their own lives and backstories.
The Miracle of Swindon Town contains examples of:
- Aerith and Bob: On a broad scale of John to Voluptuous.
- Alliterative Name: Perry Parry, Merrick Maric.
- Angrish: FOOGE-KA-BOOGE!
- Badass Moustache: Bald John Green
- Bald of Awesome: Bald John Green, of course.
- Bond One-Liner: After a good save by Berna, John will usually quip "You just got a 1st/2nd/3rd degree Berna!"
- Defictionalization: The chant made up for the fictional "One Size" Fitz Hall has been used for the real life Fitz Hall, too. (Whose nickname is also, coincidentally, "One Size.")
- Fiery Redhead: "Ginger Rampage" didn't exactly get his nickname for nothing.
- Happily Married: Bald John Green and Other John Green, as well as Voluptuous Pericard and his wife Alice.
- The Nicknamer: The fans usually come up with the first names/ nicknames for the characters, as the game only gives you a first initial and a last name.
- Odd Friendship: Merrick Maric and Ricardo "Bunsen" Berna, due to the fact tha5t neither of them can speak.
- One Steve Limit: Averted, there's two John Greens, and a third if you count the one behind the fourth wall.
- Shout Out: To Leeroy Jenkins, the player Leeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooy Williamson. Gordon Taylor-Fletcher was also renamed after a movie star, whose name neither John nor this troper can remember.
- Spell My Name with an S: Cteve Austin.
- The Voiceless: Merrick Marric.
- Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Most of the team. Sir Cuthbert deserves a special mention. So does Beef Stock.
