SomecallmeJohnny (Juan Ortiz) is a game reviewer on YouTube. Originally, he was 1/2 of the duo known as "The Super Gaming Bros", along with his younger brother Elliot. Eventually, Elliot left and Johnny now does reviews by himself under the new name "Johnny Vs. the World". Typically, his reviews are informative but mix in some live action comedy and short animations drawn by himself. He reviews games from well-known franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros. and Metroid, sometimes dedicating a month to one specific series. He also has a Let's Playchannel on the side, with his brother and his friend Matt.He is also one of the primary members of Brain Scratch Commentaries.
Johnny's two Sonic Anniversary Interview animations.
The Johnny vs. Pokemon Training Card Game episode wasn't a review, rather as a talk about Johnny, Elliot, Matt, and Ryan's experience with it, and also it has a small How-To-Play guide to the game.
Anti-Climax: In the Saw: The Video Game review, Johnny and Elliot prepare to fight Tails Doll who was disguised as Jigsaw. Before they even start, Mark comes by and the others tell him to back off. So what does Mark do? He just turns off the television Tails Doll was in.
Arc Words: Kinda stretching it, but as Johnny points out, in the Adventure Era 3D Sonic games, the phrase "Long time no see!" pops up frequently.
Artifact Title: Johnny's "Month of..." video game reviews. While the game series being reviewed does stay intact, the length of them doesn't. As of recent, any collection that takes over a month is now called "[Insert Video Game Series] Marathon".
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: When Johnny is pleading with the Cuccos to spare his life for attacking one of their own, his reasons for doing it in the first place are, in order: Hunger, getting a "Torque", his Uncle dying, the King being burned to the bone, his hair being colored pink, and not wearing any pants.
Big NO!: Johnny's reaction to Metroid: Other M delay.
This turns out to be ironic in hindsight, considering how much he dislikes the game when he reviews it.
Our protagonist; only briefly phased by a demonic monstrosity from hell sent by the Demon Video Game Overlords gives him the big scary speech with fire surrounding him, but when he flips that N64 cartridge over, his screams of despair carry over five city blocks.
Book Ends: The Sonic the Hedgehog Marathon began with the song It Doesn't Matter (Sonic's theme in Sonic Adventure), and it ended playing the same song.
Brick Joke: The Sonic Figurine appears in Sonic 4 Episode 2 when Johnny had no clue how to end the review, a few episodes later the figurine falls near a box, which leads to the Pokemon Training Card Game review.
After commenting (and then demonstrating) that the Unknown Item pickup jingle from Metroid: Zero Mission would be great for increasing the drama in any situation, it's then used in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review, in the Super Mario Bros. review, and at the reveal of his Pokemon Trading Cards.
Broke The Rating Scale: Johnny gives Superman 64 a -64 out of 10 after he realizes it's his review and he can do whatever he wants.
We're not going to give it a score, it doesn't deserve one.
Sonic Genesis didn't receive a score either, but the absence of one wasn't even noted in the review.
Call Back: In the description of his Braid review, he gives the page quote from its page, and then adds: "...Okay, bye." This is a reference to his Metroid review.
Cluster F-Bomb: Johnny swears so much in his review of Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels that inserts censor bleeps in his special censor mode. Due to the sheer difficulty of the game, Johnny swearing up a storm is justified.
When he talks about the Special Stages in Sonic Heroes, he just can't contain his inner AVGN
Continuity Lockout: There's a small plot that started from the very first review Johnny uploaded, Sonic 06, with a possessed Sonic hat, that carried on over all the way to 2010... and the origins of this possessed Sonic hat are forever lost, as Johnny has since removed that video.
History Repeats in the Zelda II Let's Play (see the LP entry).
Cool Uncle: Most of the series Johnny grew up with and loved were introduced by his uncle. Johnny even thanks his uncle by reviewing the classic Castlevania games.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Not a definite example, but when Johnny and Elliot fought the Sonic hat, the battle seemed to be suspiciously dominated by Johnny, and it only got more extreme when Elliot entered and they then literally stomped on him right in the middle of his Badass Boast.
And when they fight him again, now revealed to be the Tails Doll, he could only scratch them in comparison to their quadruple 9 attacks.
Denial of Diagonal Attack: Being irritated by this in the first two Metroid games, he's absolutely ecstatic when it is inverted in Super Metroid. In fact, he provides the page quote.
He's also irritated by it in The Legend Of Zelda, feeling that it compounds to the already stiff controls and leads to him getting unfairly dogpiled too many times.
First Installment Weirdness: Johnny's style has notably improved between the time he started compared to now, but that's a given considering that time usually improves a person.
Four Point Scale: Subverted. Scores below 4 are considered terrible.
Now averted after his Sonic Generations review, as he dropped the scoring system completely.
His Metroid Prime 3 review has a montage of these:
PRESS THOSE KEY CODES! SHOOT THOSE TARGETS! TWIST THAT PANEL! CALIBRATE THAT PANEL! SHOOT THE SPECIFIC ENEMY! RIP OFF THAT PANEL! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!...AGAIN! PUMP THAT SUM'BITCH UP!
Left Hanging: Who did win the Pokemon Battle between Johnny and Ted? I guess we'll probably find out... never.
Long List: Ted's list of his favorite Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal music, in which Johnny promptly cuts Ted off.
Lost Forever: Johnny's original Big Rigs and Sonic 06 Review...unless reuploads count.
Makes Sense In Context: Why did the Sonic hat seem to consider Sonic R the worst Sonic game? It's bad, but not atrocious...oh. He was born from it.
Marathon Episode: Early episodes lasted about six to fifteen minutes at best, however recent reviews can get extremely long (he has to cover everything about the game as possible). The second review of Sonic 06 lasted 50 minutes.
Out of Focus: Subverted. Even though Elliot left the group for the main channel, he still appears as a cameo or for a special occasion, and of course the LP channel. The Big Rigs review even lampshades this by slapping the words "Super Gaming Brothers Forever" at the end.
Rage Quit: Jokingly done so during Ryan's experience with the Pokemon Training Card Game, Johnny throws the table when playing and starts to beat Matt.
Played straight for the Saw: The Video Game review, Johnny gets sick of being cheaply killed and trying to solve multiple timed puzzles (some who have extremely short time limits).
The Reveal: Matt, who for some viewers, they thought Matt was someone totally different.
Elliot with Hair in Big Rigs.
Rule of Three: Three games were given a 10 out of 10 in 2010.
Running Gag: In his Metroid Reviews (and once in his Super Mario Bros. 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 reviews), whenever he mentions the Screw Attack powerup, a voice echoes the word "Screw Attack!"
Every time Metroids appeared in his Month of Metr- (cue scary music) AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! OH GOD NO! NOT THEM!! NOT THE ORIGINAL METROIDS!!!!!! THEY TAKE 5 MISSILES AND THE ICE BEAM!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!!!!!!!!!!!!
After commenting (and then demonstrating) that the Unknown Item pickup jingle from Metroid: Zero Mission would be great for increasing the drama in any situation, it's then used in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 review, in the Super Mario Bros. review, and at the reveal of his Pokemon Trading Cards.
Running Gagged: In his final (at the time of this edit) Metroid review, Johnny finally shoots the person who keeps saying "Screw Attack!", with an NES ray gun.
Johnny: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, time to end this. And once again, I apologize for taking so long with this.
Ted: It's been more than a month, John. I didn't know that this was the month plus one week of Pokemon.
Johnny: Will you shut up-ugh, you see, this is why doing a month of RPG's is a bad idea.
Ryan: Johnny, the only RPG you actually did this month was Pokemon Red/Blue and Yellow, and the rest of them were, you know, short N64 spinoff games, plus the Trading Card Game, which I still have better cards than you, so you really have no excuse.
Johnny: Well, I'm trying to start this review up, but you assholes just have to keep rubbing it in, do you.
Ted: Yeah.
Ryan: Of course.
Johnny: Fuck you both.
That was just one example. Several game reviews were thrown off schedule from their intended release due to many reasons and unfortunate situations. Take Batman Arkham City. It was supposed to be reviewed around the time it was released, but, well, he'll tell you.
The Month of Mario had to be extended from April into June 2011. Kinda screws with the name.
Probably the most famous of which is the Sonic Interview Sequel. It was delayed indefinitely after the Christmas 2011 deadline flew by, and the process of making it ended up creating a month-long hiatus for the Sonic 06 LP.
As he's said twice now, he finds that it's best to not set a deadline for himself.
Adverted in the Sonic 06 review: he posted at the beginning of a week that it would be uploaded "sometime this week," and it was uploaded on that Saturday.
This one is very subtle: In the Castlevania II Simons Quest review, when he's talking about possessing parts of Dracula's body, he pronounces “possess” as “prossess,” a nod to the fact that that's how the game spells the word (only) when acquiring a part of Dracula's body.
The 2013 April Fools video is titled "Johnny Vs. The Meaning of Life," with Johnny's cartoon likeness standing side-by-side with the letter 42
Fans of Brain Scratch Commentaries and Johnny's LP channel will get a couple of bonuses when watching the Ocarina of Time review. In it, he references his "Leaf Technology" joke in the BSC commentary of the game when he barely made the deadline for the side quest for the best sword in the game, and when Johnny is saying the Light Sage's name, Rauru, he pronounces it as "Rar-u" calling back to his Zelda II LP.
Lewis (again, from Brain Scratch Commentaries) for the SGB version of the Sonic '06 review.
Stock Footage: A minor one, Johnny uses the same loading screens from his original Sonic '06 review to compare the Metal Sonic transformation scene from Sonic Heroes.
Story Arc: One involving a strange Sonic hat that warps the mind of whoever wears it to commit horrible misdeeds, such as... playing Sonic R.
If one counts the several Months of's as Story Arcs, there's been:
The very first Month of Sonic (done in celebration of Sonic Unleashed, and now Lost Forever because Johnny was dissatisfied with the results).
Month of Sonic 2, which covered all of Sonic's games in the Classic Era in celebration of Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Episode 1.
Month of Castlevania, which covered all of the console Classicvania games except Rondo Of Blood. He plans to review that one later.
Month(s) of Mario, which covered all of Mario's classic 2D games.
Month of Metroid, which covered all of the 2D Metroid games.
The Sonic The Hedgehog Marathon, which covered all of Sonic's 3D games that were covered in the original Month of Sonic and excluding the ones past Sonic 06, which were already reviewed (Named so because he knew that he couldn't cover all the games in a month's time span, especially when one starts in the middle of November 2012).
Sudden Name Change: After Elliot left the group, the series name changed from SGB Reviews to Johnny vs. [Insert Game Here]. The older reviews kept the SGB Review name.
Take That: In his Sonic Generations review, when talking about the 30 Second Challenge Leaderboards, he showed the top three for Classic City Escape, with him at the top & Clement J 642 at the bottom, causing him to say: "Ha! Take that Clement!"
Although Clement beat the record soon after.
Which led to Johnny beating Clement's new record, complete with a small Reason You Suck Speech before signing off.
The Television Talks Back: Elliot in the Metroid Prime 3 review. It could had been justified since it's a webcam chat, but moments later, Elliot throws him the Metroid Prime Hunters game, while still on TV.
His Let's Plays provides examples of the following:
Aborted Arc: Sonic Genesis was cancelled because of Johnny losing a lot of lives from Labyrinth Zone and therefore Johnny and Elliot decided to cancel the LP in the end.
It should also be mentioned that although the Sonic 06 LP did happen, it was originally going to be live commentary. But because of the recording curse taking effect and lack of commentary, it was Post Commentary instead.
Alliterative Name: Matthew Michael Matelli, or as the ladies say it, "Mmm".
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Aside from Matthew having a clinical diagnosis of ADHD, he slams Rebecca Chambers for staring at a door while Chris is dying. Granted, it's a load screen taking longer than it should, but the joke was still valid.
Audience Participation: At the end of Sonic 4: Episode 1, Johnny made a voting of which Sonic game he would play next. It was a close call between Sonic Adventure, Sonic Colors, and Sonic '06. Sonic '06 won.
Ax Crazy: Elliot and his comments about Nabbit in the New Super Mario Bros. U playthrough are less than settling.
Elliot: I love chopping him up into pieces and using his foot for good luck.
Let's not get started on his treatment of ants, according to the Medievil LP.
Berserk Button: Johnny in the home stretch of the Dusty Desert (Second Level in Sonic 06) multiplayer.
Johnny: YOU STAY THERE AND LET ME FINISH!
Pretty much any time they're all stuck on a certain level for a while.
Bias Steamroller: Matthew has it OUT for Sonic 2006; or rather, certain people who defend it. Not those who have a Bile Fascination or a So Bad, It's Good approach to the game, but the ones who claim that they found no glitches or that it plays as competently, if not better than any other Sonic game in the series really sets him off.
Big "WHAT?!": Everyone says this whenever something odd or cheap happens. This one takes the cake:
Johnny: If we ever use the warp whistle, we have to cancel the Let's Play again.
Also played straight and inverted many times throughout the Lost Levels commentary.
In the Kingdom Hearts playthrough, Johnny was lucky to get THREE encounters with the White Mushroom Heartless without trying to get all the Arts for all the spells he could cast at the time.
Butt Monkey: Elliot during 2D Mario Games and Flame Core in Sonic 06 Multiplayer.
Lampshaded by Johnny during the 2D Sonic Marathon.
Catchphrase: When Eliot makes a screw-up, Johnny yells "Eliot! Seriously!".
Johnny:Elliot, seriously. God damn it, how many times am I going to say that? ...I want a complication of all my Elliot-seriously's. It's probably at three hundred and seventy-four.
Johnny also has his orgasmic catchphrase where he yells "My Dick! My Dick!"
Elliot has two: "FAIL!" and "That was close."
When Elliot is having trouble, Johnny will never fail to give him the sagely advice of: "Take your time." Spoiler: It doesn't really help.
"How's that phone, by the way?" Deserves a t-shirt.
Cluster F-Bomb: Matthew. BIG TIME. To put it bluntly, if Matthew goes three sentences without cursing something out, Johnny thinks something is wrong with him.
Whenever Johnny encounters a Slicer in his Sonic the Hedgehog 2 LP.
Continuity Nod: In the Zelda II LP, Johnny's save file from the then recently completed review of the game is clearly visible in the file select. No one makes a reference to it, though.
Cosmic Plaything: During the Sonic 06 Multiplayer, Elliot gets killed by meteors three times in a row in roughly twenty seconds, one of the few times in which the poor kid was legitimately screwed over by the game.
Curse: This seems to happen whenever Matt collaborates on a project with him. Donkey Kong Country, if Matt is to be believed, took over nine tries to complete.
According to the wall comments by Johnny and Matthew, Sonic 2006 has also suffered from this. Allegedly, there had been multiple failures either by bad commentary or through technical mistakes. It was at the point where Johnny agreed to play it by himself simply because Elliot was fed up with the game, and Matthew had run out of things to say about it.
Deadpan Snarker: It's not unusual for any one of the three to snark once in a while, though Matt is the most adept at it.
Determinator: The whole basis for Johnny in the later worlds of Mario: The Lost Levels.
Elliot has this in World 7-6 of Mario 3, he makes it to the whole with a few seconds left despite the various amounts of him falling off platforms.
Drinking Game: Their playthrough of Mario Party 4, where Johnny, Matt, and Mark duke it out by taking shots after losing a minigame, not getting a star, landing on red spaces, etc. Elliot plays as well, but substitutes Jack Daniels for Pepsi and Mountain Dew instead.
Drives Like Crazy: If the Let's Play of L.A. Noire is anything to go by, the minute Elliot gets a driver's license in the real world, he should be knocked unconscious, flown to the Gobi Desert, and buried 40 feet under for the sake of the human race. (And the sake of the Pennsylvania Budget Planning Meeting)
Epic Fail: Since they're live LP's, there are a ton of them. Mostly by Elliot. And you know that's one of the reasons you go there.
Know anybody else under the age of 75 who got a game over in World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros?
Johnny also died against the first Mecha Sonic boss, who is exactly the same as the first Sonic the Hedgehog boss.
Matt sometimes forgets to un-mute his microphone, leading to him being barely audible; Johnny has expressed his frustration with this by editing in notes.
In part 4 of the Lost Levels playthrough, Johnny kicks a Koopa shell to the right and then runs right into it. Matt is in stitches.
Incidentally, this coincided with Elliot asking the two what a molar is, another possible example of the trope.
In Part 3 of the Super Mario Brothers 3 LP, Elliot died on a TREASURE SHIP. Worse than world 1-1.
To be fair, why is there a boss fight on a secret bonus level?
Elliot failing to use the cloud item correctly in the same part.
Johnny: Jeez, did you want to do a dramatic entrance with the cloud?
Pretty much anytime Elliot makes the exact same mistakes multiple times in a row after Johnny told him exactly what to do or not to do in a game. Johnny at one point accused Elliot of not even bothering to try to avoid the enemies/hazards.
Easy Mode Mockery: Invoked and Justified. Elliot (at the time) has never beaten any of the Classic Sonic games and Johnny made him play it on Easy (using Sonic Jam) and with Tails just to make it different from the previous Let's Play.
Adding to that, Johnny mocked Elliot because how watered down the final boss was compared to when he would fight it normally.
Johnny: They must think you're the pussy of pussies.
Inverted in Mario Lost Levels. Elliot and Matt call Johnny a pansy for not playing the All-Stars remake of the game, which is superior and less frustrating.
Embarrassing First Name: Sort of. In MediEvil, Johnny gets a bit upset that his name is a homonym for toilet (a John). Adding to that, Elliot finds out that his name written backwards sounds like toilet. They wonder is their names were meant to be connected somehow.
Extreme Omnisexual: Matt's a real trooper when it comes to Kamek. Then again, 8 castles and a frustrated Libido is going to inhibit judgment.
Comes back in Lost Levels were he says after World 5 he'd settle for Toad.
And Enyuu from Genma Onimusha. Did we mention Enyuu is a sword?
The Ghost: The fourth brother of the Ortiz/Cancel family, Stevie. Mentioned only a few times, never seen.
Gollum Made Me Do It: In Part 44 of L.A. Noire, Matt and Johnny briefly speculate that Elliot is Cole Phelps's evil Split Personality who makes Phelps drive around recklessly and endanger countless civilians for laughs.
Matt: On one side, Cole Phelps. A Goody Two-Shoes who wants to uphold the law. The other personality, Elliot Cancel. A maniac who runs down everyone and disobeys complete note Grammer fail intended. traffic laws.
Halloween Episode: While not being released at October 31, their Castlevania Let's Play was posted to start off Johnny's Castlevania reviews.
In October 2012, there was a dedicated month of horror or darker games L Ped, aptly named Halloweenfest.
Hypocritical Humor: During the Resident Evil (original) playthrough, Elliot slips vocally, suggesting Rebecca Chambers has a degree in Ph.D's, with the other two teasing him as a result. In the first part of said playthrough, Matthew said the same thing and nobody caught it.
This might also be an example of So Unfunny It's Funny because Johnny and Matt start laughing as a result.
Matthew: You got Kang Banged!
It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time: John is Sonic and Elliot is Tails! It's a Sonic Marathon! All the Sonic games on the Genesis! (That includes Sonic CD!) Plus Sonic 4 Episode 1! Played in a row! No breaks of significant measure! Two have more than 10 zones! Of considerable length! And don't forget the Special Stages! Arc Fatigue for our Let's Players is definitely NOT a very high possibility!
Its Pronounced Tropay: Elliot's last name is pronounced as Can-CELL. Doesn't stop Johnny and Matt from calling him Cancel.
Elliot: It's like your name is John Ortiz, I say Or-TIZE, and you say I pronounced it wrong.
Johnny: Or-TIZE is just flat-out wrong.
It Amused Me: Elliot admits he plays La Noire recklessly (running people over, damaging cars, etc.) since he gets amused from annoying Johnny.
Jump Scare: Johnny after he finds out that Slenderman can pop up out of nowhere rather than following you constantly. Later, everyone has this when Slender appears in an enclosed area.
Laser-Guided Karma: Elliot and Johnny both wanted Matt to hit the bankrupt space in Wheel of Fortune, however both brothers ended up landing on the space on their turns.
: Matt: Yeah, Fuck You! Just goes to show that malice is full circle!
Laughing Mad: Matt just plain loses it when Elliot gets murdered three times in less than five to ten seconds in Flame Core. To the point where he could not breathe!
Johnny: Joker here! I've infected the room with laughing gas! Our first casualty: Matthew Metelli!
Left Fielder: As described below, Elliot is supposedly the king of bringing up irrelevant topics.
Lost Forever: The three Sonic LPs Johnny did for his LP channel before he decided it would be better just to have Elliot in the LPs.
His Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion LPs] and accidentally the final part of 8-bit Super Mario Bros.
Manipulative Editing: Utilized mostly for comedic purposes, seen most prominently in the Sonic 2006 and Genma Onimusha LPs.
Mondegreen: In Mario Lost Levels, during Johnny's rage in World 8-1, Matt says he's getting empowered by Johnny's rage. Elliot, Johnny, and the rest of the viewers interpret as "I'm getting a boner to Johnny's rage". Matt then goes with it, much to Elliot's disgust.
No Indoor Voice: Matthew is about as subtle as a flying hammer across the room when it comes to vocals. When he finds something funny, you'll know it.
Elliot screams a lot in the LPs.
Non Sequitur: Johnny claims Elliot is the king of bringing up random s#$t.
Once a Let's Play: Fuzzy Meatloaf being blurted out. As Matt says it, it's obligatory.
AKA A Nightmare (trademark) on Elm Street: Come at Me, Bro Edition.
LP. Deeming the game too difficult (and it is) for the moment, the three have decided to accept the loss and try the game again at a different time.
Rage Breaking Point: While not shown, Johnny has this in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii LP after everybody starts to lose several times in World 9-5.
It happens again in Part 2 of Sonic '06 Multiplayer, when Elliot tries to attempt fate on their last life during the end of Dusty Desert.
Happens yet again in Part 14 of Super Mario World, after Elliot died right at the end of Star World 5, and then when he accidently dropped the P-Switch needed to progress through the level.
Rapid Fire No: Johnny and Matt's response to some of Elliot's more questionable content during the New Super Mario Bros. Wii Let's play.
Running Gag: The SGB have a few. Their most famous one is "Fuzzy Meatloaf", which stemmed from Johnny mishearing Elliot saying "Buzzy Beetle". Since this slip-up, Fuzzy Meatloaf has been mentioned many times throughout their numerous Let's Plays.
Every time Johnny uses green souls to become invincible in the Genma Onimusha LP, an invincibility theme (usually from Mario or Sonic games) plays for the duration of the invincibility.
If a question about something odd is asked and there's no clear answer, In the Kingdom Hearts playthrough, one of them will shout "THE VOID!"
"How's that phone by the way?" said whenever Elliot is on his phone.
In conjunction with "THE VOID!" gag, the crew tend to find a way to insert Ex-Death from Final Fantasy V into the plot of a completely unrelated title.
They've also managed to make Legends of the Hidden Temple jokes frequently as of late.
Series Hiatus: Both channels have been on break at one point or another, mainly due to each member of the team needing to shift focus on other priorities.
Shout Out: Many of their jokes are references to something or other. For example, the pun above is an actual combo from Mortal Kombat: Deception for Liu Kang.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: Everyone curses to an extent, but Matthew outright shines in this department.
Also done with Shadow Gate, as Johnny kept a death count of all the deaths.
Elliot later does this in the Limbo LP.
Troll: Matt is this full stop, mostly within the New Super Mario Bros series as he griefs Johnny and Elliot for giggles.
During Johnny's Let's Play of Metal Gear Solid, Elliot and Matt started to sing random songs from films and TV shows just to mess up Johnny's button mashing attempt to stay alive during the torture scene. Johnny loses focus and gets killed, forcing him to do the button mashing sequence all over again.
During Elliot's LP of La Noire, all of the shenanigans he causes in the game has the group dub Cole Phelps as Troll Phelps because of the character (through Elliot) is always slamming into cars, running people over, and causing massive property damage for the giggles.
Verbal Tic: Matt keeps sayings "Anyways" after he says something out-of-topic.
During the course of Sonic '06, the viewers commentated that Johnny kept saying "You know" multiple times. One part has him being stuck in that phrase for a while.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Mark disappeared after World 2 of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii LP. Justified due to the audio glitching up and forcing them to do it all over again, but Mark left because as Johnny says it, "He has a life".
Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Not to a recurring character, but instead to the main character of L.A. Noire, Cole Phelps, who the Let's Players have given multiple jobs off the top of their heads (with the phrase, "Cole Phelps, X") often to the parody of whatever is happening on screen.
With Friends Like These: Matthew takes it upon himself to be the total asshole during the New Super Mario Bros. Wii Let's play, with hilarious (yet annoying) results, including "paying homage" (read: Plagiarizing) to the Freelance Astronauts near the endgame flagpole... twice.
Matt also hurls Elliot into harm's way far, far too many times for a sane person to count.
With New Super Mario Bros U, Matt continues to be Trolltoad, screwing anyone he can throughout the game.
You Keep Using That Word: Elliot has a tendency to use the word irony/ironic on sentences that don't connect.
Invoked by Johnny in Crash Bandicoot 3, when he asks Elliot if he even knows the meaning of the phrase "I swear!," as Elliot was constantly saying it whenever he was giving an explanation for his latest screw-up.
"But what I can say is that this Metal Sonic figure is fucking awesome!"
