History WebVideo / JimAndYahtzeesRhymedownSpectacular

What do you get when [[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee]] of ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' fame and Jim Sterling of ''{{WebVideo/Jimquisition}}'' fame come together and start writing games industry-related poetry? Simple, you get ''Jim and Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular''.

* MoodWhiplash: Yahtzee's ''Ludonarrative Dissonance'', telling what could be the story of a [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto GTA protagonist]] and occasionally bursting into cheerful singing.

* TakeThat: Jim makes a vicious one (in the form of their entire verse) in one episode to trash talk the infamously bad LetsPlay[=er=] [[LetsPlay/TheKingOfHate Dark Syde Phil]].

* EightPointEight: Jim complains about it in ''Whine Out Of Ten''.

** In ''Whine Out Of Ten'', Jim doesn't even bother with being witty; they just scold everyone who complained about GTA V getting [[EightPointEight nine out of ten]].

* EightPointEight: [[invoked]] Jim complains about it in ''Whine Out Of Ten''.

* AwfulWeddedLife: One with an old, jaded VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog in ''Cyclical.''
* BaitAndSwitch: In ''Confessions of a game reviewer'', Jim admits that there were many games that he gave ratings which he no longer agreed with - but that wasn't the confession he was here to make. The confession was that he had [[IRegretNothing no regrets]] about a single word he'd said, regardless of whether or not he still had that view.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: [[invoked]] [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in ''The Cycle'', which reads like a series of internet posts on any ''SonicTheHedgehog'' game from the last ten years.
