Music / Man on the Internet

Saving the Internet with quality content!

Man on the Internet (Alex Beckham) is a YouTube channel in the vein of Brentalfloss specializing in lyricizing music from video games. Two of his works, Undertale the Musical and Chrono Trigger: The Musical, have their own pages.

This creator provides examples of:

• Accent Adaptation: Grimm's voice in Hollow Knight is very raspy and usually speaks in strained, whispering tones. Alex, however, gives Grimm a more powerful, darker, theatrical tone befitting the Troupe Master he is.
• Adaptational Villainy:
  • Phosphora in Kid Icarus Uprising Bytes - Lightning Battle is openly hateful of humanity. In canon, she never displayed such traits, she just worked for Viridi and her opinion of humanity was unknown.
  • Marx is far more vicous and destructive in ‘’Vs Marx’’ as he openly shows his desire to kill everyone where in canon, he just wanted to use his powers to rule Popstar.
  • Could arguably be seen as the case for Circus Baby in "Tilt-A-Whirl". Unlike the games, she is not Elizabeth Afton as she states she outright killed her, and seemingly lacks her more calm and manipulative personality and now has a more Axe-Crazy one.
• Arc Words: All the Super Paper Mario songs have at least one utterance of, "Three cheers for the count". The only exceptions are Count Bleck and Dimentio’s songs. In Dimentio's case, it hints towards his status as The Starscream. In Bleck's case, it represents his self-loathing, because he can't even bring himself to cheer himself on.
• Ascended Extra: Despite not having her own song, Nastasia gets her own song in the Super Paper Mario Musical Bytes by using the "Castle Bleck" theme.
• As Long as There Is Evil: 0² gives a line to this effect:
  For as long as there is fear
  The creeping shadow shall draw near
• Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: The "T FOR TEEN" edition of Vs. Mewtwo has multiple visual edits designed to prevent the video from being marked as "made for kids" by YouTube, in response to the original being marked as such, thus preventing comments from being made. Such visuals include "DAMN" floating by twice, a superimposed blood spray effect when Mewtwo attacks Articuno, Red's Muk being named "KUM", Mewtwo smoking and later being shot with a gun.
• Awesome Aussie: Dingodile. Man on the Internet admitted to trying to fit in every bit of Australian slang he could that wasn't cursing (or vegemite).
• Ax-Crazy: A majority of the antagonists have a few screws loose.
  • Ridley stands out even among the villains as his entire song is an ode to violence, death, and destruction.
  • Omega's song is basically three minutes of him going on about how he relishes fighting, killing and hearing the screams of human and reploid alike and how he longs to be the destruction of the world.
• Badass Boast:
  • Bowser's verse of 'In the Final' is pretty much a long string of these.
    Bowser: I have conquered galaxies, Now I've stepped down to see, If a shadow can bleed!
  • The Legendary Bytes for Pokemon are filled with these from the various Legendary Pokemon. While some of them are comparatively humble, they are a bit of an exception in a (Pokemon) World of Ham.
    Mewtwo: How can you even hope to stand up to what you can't even conceive!
    Mewtwo/Red:'I'm the paragon! I'm the epitome!
    Groudon: Stand beneath the blazing sun! In this world that I have won!
    Kyogre: No one stands in my domain!
    Giratina: I am the ending of the gods!
    Necrozma: Gluttony for power in your endless greed but your sloth is fall now that the dragon's free!
    Arceus: Although you fight, I am the light. You are a seedling that I have sown!
  • Legendaries aren't the only ones: "Vs. Galactic Commander Jupiter" also features lines like this.
    Jupiter: Our grand intentions extend to the heavens!
    This sad broken world is too late to be mended
    And oh what a shame friend, this is where your game ends
    A moment truly climactic!
    Bow down to Team Galactic!
  • "Radiance" is completely full of these. When the chorus isn't praising the titular character, Radiance herself is boasting of her rule over all infected creatures and/or proclaiming her godhood.
    Nothing you could hope to dream
    Could stand up to the works of me!
    The light is god! The light is supreme!
• Black Comedy Rape: Implicitly defied in "Garten of Banban Cipher," where Opila Bird tells anyone who thought she would use "the other word that rhymes with -ape" to "find Jesus."
• Blasphemous Boast: Giratina in "Vs. Giratina" boasts of its superiority to the other Sinnoh deities, describing them as "those worthless gods" and calling itself "the ending of the gods".
• Broken Pedestal: Zote is this to Bretta, naturally. While the first half of "Truth, Beauty and Hatred" has Bretta proclaiming his glory, halfway through she begins to realize that he's not all he cracked up to be, and instead begins complaining about him.
  Grey prince, once you were so strong,
  But now, everything feels wrong,
  The tales I see in my dreams,
  It seems they fail when you pull at the seams.
• Broken Record: "Truth, Beauty and Hatred" has Bretta realize that Zote is this, alongside every other rose tinted misconception she had being broken, as in the game. The chorus most definitely is this, as while it initially repeats her lyrics, it fails to acknowledge Bretta's lyrics changing in the second half, singing the exact same while Bretta starts pointing out the flaws of Zote while proclaiming that she's leaving.
• Child Hater: William Afton, of truly spectacular proportions. His musical Motive Rant is all about how children are undeserving of life wretches who are put to better use as sacrifices to fuel his quest for immortality.
• Colour-Coded for Your Convenience:
  • In Battle of Award 42, shortly after the 3 minute mark, DJ Grooves and the Conductor sing different lines simultaneously. At this point, the on-screen lyrics become yellow for the Conductor and red for DJ Grooves.
  • In Rush Hour, the on-screen lyrics are black outlined in yellow for the chorus, purple for the Empress, and orange for Hat Kid.
  • In Palutena vs Medusa, Palutena uses green subtitles while Medusa uses dark purple ones.
  • In Mantis Lords, each Mantis Lord gets a different shade of blue for their subtitles.
• The Corruptor: Dark Samus and Snake Man, the former through absorbing and consuming everything they come across, the later taking a page from The Megas and trying a We Can Rule Together speech.
• Creepy Circus Music:
  • Jevil's song, "The World Revolving".
  • "It's Showtime" and "The Ultimate Show", as discussed by Dimentio in both of his songs.
    From the void, the circus horns will sing a song of nothing!
  • Combining the above, "The Ultimate World Spun ft. Marx", which has the Dimentio, Marx, and Jevil sing together.
    So join the spiral!
    The tempest surge
    Will end the world!
  • "Meat Circus" takes Peter McConnell's energetic theme for the titular level and twists it, with the singers excitedly singing about the deadly and dangerous stunts Raz performs along with both his and Coach Oleander's traumatic childhood memories.
    Your life turned upside-down
    The circus is in town!
• Dark Reprise:
  • "The Ultimate Show" echoes the lyrics to both "Brobot Battle" and "It's Showtime", both Mr. L and Dimentio's battle themes. Fitting, for what is essentially a fusion of both of them.
    Mr. L: Up and a-down on this merry-go-round, so merrily we go!
    Dimentio: We perform, strike back at the norm of running right and jumping / From the void, the circus horns will sing a song of nothing!
    Super Dimentio: Up and down on this merry-go-round / Destinations you'll never know [...] We perform, we rewrite the norm, and sing a song of nothing / From the void, the circus horns proclaim the power rushing!
  • "Cannon Ball" likewise alludes to lyrics from Zero's theme, fitting of his nature as the original body of Zero
    Light it up, and on the saber I proclaim
    Omega! I'll leave you screaming out my name!
• Defiant to the End: "Sammer's Kingdom" is a Crowd Song from the Sammer Guys who, in spite of the threat of the void causing The End of the World as We Know It, will continue fighting until the end.
  But if it all should end…
  Our legacy would never be forgotten!
  Our kingdom's honor we defend…
  We'll meet the world's demise, standing with our heads held high!
• Driven by Envy: The lyrics to "Vs. Marx" imply that this was Marx's motivation for manipulating Kirby into enabling his scheme.
  Demon in pink, Who can't think what I think
  Why should you be the only one to dream?
• Dumb Muscle: O’Chunks proudly proclaims throughout his song that he’s "Muscled up, brawn over brains!"
• Evil vs. Evil:
  • "Evil" may be stretching it a little, but "Groudon vs. Kyogre" certainly gives off these vibes, as both Pokemon are framed in a rather threatening and sinister light and strongly oppose each other.
    Groudon: No one hears the water's cries! From the depths the earth shall rise!
    Kyogre: Do not dare to think you've won! Rain blots out your blazing sun!
    Both: Crash and burn against the waves, for this world is MY domain!
    Kyogre: Gasping for air, you struggle in vain.
    Groudon: Bathing the fire that snuffs out the rain!
  • "Galeem/Dharkon" has both villains singing about how they intend to dominate the world, with Galeem singing of absolute order and purification, while Dharkon sings of inflicting terror and insanity. While most lines are directed to the Smashers, there are a few that seem to be referring to the other, just like in the game where they mainly fight the player but take shots at each other at the same time.
• Fan Edit: Fans will sometimes create their own versions of the music videos. One example is re-creating the battles from "In the Final..." in and playing them out in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• Fire Is Masculine: Of a sort — Groudon has No Biological Sex, but it's given a masculine voice in the Legendary Bytes for "Groudon vs. Kyogre" and is the embodiment of the volcanic landmasses. This contrasts with the more feminine-sounding Kyogre, who represents water.
• Gag Dub: Fumbled Scooby Minute, which consisted of minute-long videos dubbing over episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. The episodes have since been removed/unlisted from the channel.
• A God I Am: In “Vs. Mewtwo”, Mewtwo claims that its strength is comparable to gods rather than normal Pokémon.

  I am not human, nor am I Pokémon!
  I have ascended to be on the level of your gods!

• Graceful Loser: The Mantis Lords lose to the Knight at the end of their song, but instead of lamenting their defeat, they return to their thrones and bow to the Knight.
  We bow to you
  Claim your pale throne!
• Gratuitous Latin: "Galeem/Dharkon" opens with the Latin words for light, darkness, and omnipotence. The chorus also incorporates the first lines of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl main theme: "Audi famam illius, solus in hostes ruit et patriam servavit!"
• Hope Crusher: In "Vs. Ultra Necrozma", Ultra Necrozma itself declares its intention to "condemn humanity to all despair".
• I Banged Your Mom: Jumbo Josh makes this pretty explicit in the Garten of Banban April Fools' song.
  Jumbo Josh: Don't get on the elevator, or you'll find that I'm a hater! Smack you down, brah, see you later! Find your mom and do more than date her! Big and green, like an Incredible Hulk, and I'll show your mom my incredible bulk! If you complain, I'll send you to your room to sulk! 'CAUSE I'M FUCKING YOUR MOM!
• Idiot Ball: Alex chastises the protagonist during his reading of Mario.Exe for multiple stupid decisions, the stupidest of all being the fact that he downloaded the Super Mario Bros. game off a sketchy MediaFire link.
  Alex: Ah, yes. Mario for PC. The PC where it wasn't released. The PC where it is only emulated, the PC, the original Mario Bros. for PC, yes, totally. You will get a million viruses, you idiot.
• Insult Backfire: "Dingodile" claims that he does not mind being called "a bogan": "that's fine; it's me slogan". Though it sounds less like a brag and more like allowing his opponent that one when he gets to the idea "That I'm a psycho? Eh, fair dinkum."
• Halloween Episode:
  • The channel tends to upload covers of spooky video game themes during October.
  • During October, the channel had previously aired a series called "Freaky Fettucine", which were (usually) short videos of Alex doing Dramatic Readings of amateur Creepypasta. The series was likely inspired by Bad Creepypasta.
• Hey, You!: In "Meat Circus", Coach Oleander is never referred to by name, just with descriptors like "butcher's boy" and "bunny child". Likely because his name lacks enough syllables.
• Jump Scare: That picture of Marx snaps onto the screen at "'CAUSE THIS IS MY FANTASY!"
• Killed Mid-Sentence: Grey Prince Zote dies from Defeat Means Explosion before he can finish proclaiming "I am the Grey Prince Zote."
• Knight of Cerebus: A constant for Man On The Internet's works. Chrono Trigger: The Musical has Lavos, Undertale the Musical has Flowey, Chara and W.D. Gaster, and Smash Bros Musical Bytes has Dark Samus.
• Lampshade Hanging: The "Gruntilda Battle with Lyrics" video is positively loaded with this, befitting the game it came from.
• Last-Second Word Swap: One that transitions into the main chorus.
  O'Chunks: Yer a goner, lad, I'm gonna kick your / I'm muscled up, brawn over brains...
• Loves the Sound of Screaming: In Unbroken, William Afton describes the screams of the children he's murdered as a "saccharine cacophony".
• Lyrical Dissonance: Their "Dingodile" song's upbeat melody contrasts boldly with horrific lyrics about Dingodile burning you to death.
  You'll be taken in by me toothy grin / While the fire bubbles and broils your skin
• Massive Multiplayer Crossover: A running joke of various unlikely figures singing something along the lines of "Megalovania" culminated in "Wrongovania", a whole production with a huge gang of unlikely characters battling (and in customized Smash Bros. footage, beating the crap out of) the murderous Fallen Child while clambering to sing the now-familiar tune. Somehow, it still ends with Sans getting killed... After, some of them wonder what that kid's problem was and wander off to get some shwarma.
• Midword Rhyme: Grimm's medley has the following line throughout:

Grimm: Carry high lantern light
Join in the night-
-mare!

• Mirror Character: The Legendary Bytes Mewtwo video sets up Mewtwo and Red as this as both 'The Strongest' and 'Very Best'.
• Mood Whiplash: Opila Bird does this in the April Fools' Garten of Banban song:
  Opila Bird: BIRD UP! No escape! Flightless terror with a coat of grape! If you thought I'd say the other thing that rhymes with -ape... You need to find Jesus. BIRD UP!
• MST: Freaky Fettucine is part this, part Dramatic Reading. In this case, Alex usually reads the Creepypasta straight (with the occasional snarky aside) while floating text does most of the snarking for him. In the longer episodes, the floating text is usually forgone.
• Mythology Gag: Mewtwo in one image is shown using a giant spoon to fight Red's team, which is what the Mewtwo in the Adventures manga used as a weapon.
• "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: If there's ever instances of typos, messed up grammatical structures or generally terrible sentences in Freaky Fettucine, Alex will make sure the audience knows that he wasn't speaking incorrectly and that's actually what the author wrote. Case in point, during Sonic.exe:
  Alex: [reading] "You're too slow! Wanna try again?" I didn't actually add the "you're too slow", that one's actually in the— in the script!
• Omnicidal Maniac: They write several songs about such characters, most notable are: Lavos, Bleck and his minions (especially Dimentio), Marx and Ridley. But there are others.
  • Viridi's song "Wrath of the Reset Bomb" is notable because she falsely acusses Mankind of being this, this despite she herself being the Kill All Humans subtype of the trope.
    Humans thrive on MASSACRE, decimate the trees and exploit the land
    They're enemies of Life itself
    They will die at Viridi's hand
• Only in It for the Money: "Rush Hour" and the Nyakuza:
  Sound the alarm, nobody gets away
  Empress wants her head on a plate
  Put up a bounty, we'd retire in days
  Saddle up, cats — we're GONNA GET PAID!
• Only the Worthy May Pass: Combined with Strength Equals Worthiness in "Hornet".
  Hornet: Lost child
  Prove yourself worthy
  To bear this kingdom’s fate
  Or fall
  I’ll not hold back
  If the weak die at my blade
  From where do you draw strength?
  Child of kings, if you succeed
  Then hallowed be thy name!
• Our Liches Are Different: William Afton in "Unbroken" displays the classic traits of a lich, being a user of dark magic who uses it to expand his life — in this case, using the souls of murdered children as a Living Battery that keeps him alive.
• The Paladin: Simon and Richter Belmont.
  To hell with your heresy! This will not stand!
  I'll save my country as God commands!
• Pirate Song: "Hand and Eye" is a sea shanty with an epic orchestral backing, sung by Juno Songs as Foxy the Pirate Fox. Foxy initially seems to be singing to his child audience about the joys of being a pirate, and encouraging them to join his pirate crew. However, he says that you can't join his crew unless you lose a hand and eye, referencing the Fazbear Frights story "Step Closer". At the end of the song, it's revealed that he actually wants to make the night guard lose a hand and eye by killing them. The song ends with Foxy's jump scare from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, implying that The Bad Guy Wins.
• Pragmatic Adaptation: The Boss Battle that "Battle Of Award 42" originally played during was a case of Static Role, Exchangeable Character where you would fight either DJ Grooves or The Conductor depending on your score in their respective levels. Rather than make two versions of the song to reflect this, MOTI's take on it is instead a Quarreling Song between the two that seems be sung over a Mêlée à Trois between them and Hat Kid.
• Rape, Pillage, and Burn: The subject in Ridley's song. It recounts his invasion and the subsequent massacre of the K-2L space colony Samus was born to in the official manga.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: One of the Legendary Bytes, Groudon vs. Kyogre, portrays the titular legendaries as an antagonistic (to each other) example of the trope, with Groudon portrayed as the harsh and loud red oni to Kyogre's liquid-smooth and calm blue oni.
• Self-Deprecation: "Gruntilda Battle" has this exchange:
  Gruntilda: (Now) take this battle seriously!
  Kazooie: It's a Man on the Internet song. When are those ever serious?
• Shout-Out:
  • "O'Chunks, Warrior" has references to Hamilton and Team Fortress 2.
  • In his Freaky Fettucine videos, the voice he does for Jeff the Killer is the same Northern English accent that the Bad Creepypasta guys gave him.
  • In the "Gruntilda Battle" cover, Banjo and Kazooie early on reference the lyrics to Juno Songs' "Spiral Mountain" cover.
  • In his "Garten of Banban" song, he references the lyrics of the Spider-Man cartoon.
    Nabnab: Spider-Mascot, Spider-Mascot, does whatever my spider ass got! Open mouth any size, for burgers and fries, or you little guys in ascots!
  • "Pepsiman Theme" references several superhero themes; namely, Perry the Platypus, and the theme songs of the Spider-Man and Teen Titans cartoons.
    He's a spandex-wearing, soda-flinging man of action! He's got a bubbly smile, a soft, sweet hand, and several other soda-themed attributes! His taste is number one, and he's always up for a run! And the women swoon whenever they hear him say-ee-ay-ee-ay-!
    Pepsiman, Pepsiman, does whatever a Pepsi can! With a splash of sugary taste, Pepsiman wins the race! Look out! Here comes the Pepsiman! Is he fast? Listen, bud! He's got vanilla in his blood! Can he surf down a pipe? Look at that curvy white stripe! Hey there, there goes the Pepsiman!
    When there's trouble, you know who to call! (Pepsiman!) From his Pepsi HQ, he brews it all! (Pepsiman!) When the world is plagued by thirst, let me tell you, that's the worst, he won't be stopped by falling garbage cans! (Pepsiman!)
    With a carbonated brew, maybe with a hint of lime, clad in white and blue, he arrives just in time! Pepsiman, Pepsiman, certified quality, Pepsiman! Wealth and fame, he's ignored! Pepsi is his reward!
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Tankman, from his "Ugh!" cover, is this, as usual.
• Spiritual Successor: In an unintentional way, his Wood Man with Lyrics video could be one for Hyadain's Mega Man 2 Robot Master videos, as he hasn't done Air Man or Wood Man's videos, and Air Man's already known for a song about his difficulty.
• Straw Nihilist: In Cannon Ball, Omega reveals that he supports Weil's goals not just because of his programming, but because he believes civilization is doomed to warfare and isn't worth saving. In this case, he doesn't lament it, but instead sees it as an opportunity to indulge in his bloodlust.
• Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: Used rather creatively in "BIG SHOT", with Spamton's particular way of speaking.
  My name is Spamton and I am here to sell
  Those who live in darkness will get dragged to [HEAVEN]
• Suddenly Voiced: A good number of characters who don't have any voice lines in their game of origin are voiced during some songs.
  • Both of the musicals apply this trope to nearly every character who speaks in the entire musical. In particular, Frisk, Crono, and Lavos never get any spoken lines in the games proper, but have dialogue fully implemented into the script and are voiced.
  • While Mr. L (aka Luigi) does have voice lines in the game proper, every other character in the Super Paper Mario Musical Bytes has this trope applied to them.
  • A particularly noteworthy example of this is the Vessels in the Hollow Knight Musical Bytes. While the Knight remains a Heroic Mime as in canon, the Broken Vessel and the Hollow Knight both sing throughout their respective songs.
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: During his Sonic.exe reading, Alex proposes an alternate ending where the protagonist gets a virus trying to download the haunted disc onto his computer because Sega Genesis games are not .exe files.
• Take That!:
  • The Enemy Approaching Standalone Song (Noteblock Remix) pokes fun and questions the morality of the monsters in Undertale being perfectly fine with killing Frisk, a child by the way, and have done this before to 6 other innocent children and criticising of the game's accusations of you as a murderer for murdering a single monster even it was by accident.
  • "Gruntilda Battle WITH LYRICS" has Gruntilda mocking Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts by pointing out the poor reviews it got. Banjo thought it wasn't that bad, but Kazooie begs to differ.
  • His video Ralsei is A GIRL and YOU PROBABLY ARE TOO makes fun of Treesicle for the eponymous theory the channel created.
  • Raidshadolovania is one big Take That towards Raid: Shadow Legends...set to the tune of Megalovania.
  • During his MST of Mario.Exe, he mocks the (over)usage of Zalgo text via an image popup.
    zalgo hasn't been scary since 2009, when this generator was made
  • Mario.Exe also has a jab towards MediaFire, saying the protagonist will get "a million and two" viruses for downloading something off of it.
  • In his ''Sans the Killer" reading, the story has Sans be the first character introduced, with Flowey and Toriel absent. Alex comments that he's seen so much fan content about Sans and no one else that he might as well be the only character in the eyes of fans.
  • When the writer of a creepypasta says that everything Tara Strong touches "turns to gold", Alex cites Drawn Together and its movie as a counter-example.
• Take That, Audience!:
  • Many of the Megalovania clones are jabs towards the incessant complainers who wanted him to do more Megalovania covers.
    • This is covered further in the "Turnabout Internet" cover, with Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey interrogating Alex concerning these covers.
  • "Among Us The Musical!" was a Take That! towards the people who wanted him to do an Among Us music video just because the game was popular, despite the game lacking any real soundtrack. It's a four-second video of Alex singing "Hey, somebody's dead!" to one of the game's musical stings. Lampshaded in the video description.
    Description: Based on the music of the hit video game, Among Us!*
    * Among Us does not have music
• Token Good Teammate: Among the Legendary bytes, Ho-Oh and Arceus are the only Legendaries that aren't trying to destroy the world, kill the protagonist, or are misanthropic in some way.
• Villain Song: Many of them. Just to name a few - Dimentio, Marx, Ridley, Dingodile, the Snatcher, Molgera, Gruntilda, Dark Samus, and Plague Knight.
  • In the "Behind the Lyrics" video to Super Paper Mario Musical Bytes, he admits, "I write a lot of villain songs...like, a lot a lot of villain songs". (In context, it's a note that the theme running through Count Bleck's "Champion of Destruction" is different from what he calls a "big, bombastic villain song".)
  • On Halloween 2022 he released his first original composition, which is one of these for William Afton.
  • Some of the Pokemon songs are this — "Vs. Guzma", "Vs. Lusamine", "Vs. Giratina", "Vs. Kyurem Black", "Vs. Ultra Necrozma", "Vs. Galactic Commander Jupiter" and "Groudon vs. Kyogre" (for an Evil vs. Evil variant) are notable examples, while "Vs. N" and "Vs. Zinnia" are Well-Intentioned Extremist variants. "Vs. Eternatus" is a partial example, as while Eternatus is the Big Bad, Zacian, Zamazenta, Gloria and Hop join in to counter it. "Vs. Penny" is a subversion, as Penny turns out to be a sympathetic Anti-Hero.
• Villain Team-Up: "The Ultimate World Spun", sung by Dimentio, Jevil, and Marx.
• Villainous Breakdown: There's a bit at the end of "Dingodile".
  Mate, now I'm rapt! Dingodile's snapped!
• Voice of the Legion: It’s not uncommon for particularly powerful characters to have these. In variations where a second, deeper voice is layered over the first one, the deeper voice will often be in harmony with the main one, or tuned to match the chords of the song, creating a pleasing, yet intimidating, effect.
• Water Is Womanly: Of a sort — Kyogre has No Biological Sex, but it's given a feminine voice in the Legendary Bytes for "Groudon vs. Kyogre" and is the embodiment of the oceans. This contrasts with the more masculine-sounding Groudon, who represents fire.
• World of Ham: A common result of a theme month is the sense of the world the theme month is set around being filled with very hammy, very dramatic characters who are more than willing to dramatically sing their praises.
• Worthy Opponent: Zinnia in "Vs. Zinnia" feels this way towards the protagonist, admitting that they're worthy of Rayquaza's blessing and that they have disrupted her plans whilst still fighting against them and trying to put her plan back in motion.
• Yarling: Kyle and Juno's duet as Mario and Luigi in "In the Final" gives the brothers rather nasally singing voices that, when combined, create a rather poignant vocal inflection.
