Next Time On Lonny is a Web Original comedy series that parodies the Reality Show genre. The eponymous character in the Show Within a ShowLonny is "a flavorless twenty-something... [meandering] through his hipster existence desperately trying to meet girls." But On The NextLonny, "things get interesting... very interesting."Watch it here.
Next Time On Lonny provides examples of the following tropes:
Crazy-Prepared: Yet again, Lonny's alternate personality Chet in episode 1. "We'll inject the body with some embalming fluid and then toss it in a grave that I started digging early last week."
Disposing of a Body: "We have to bury the body... there's a landfill not too far outside of town. We'll inject the body with some embalming fluid and then toss it in a grave that I started digging early last week."
Fantastic Drug: Played with, since the episode had already shown cocaine and marijuana use before Lonny and Eddy huff human souls.
Foreshadowing: Lonny talks about his friend coming from his hometown, says "Chippewa Falls, my hometown, what, represent!" and flashes a gang sign. One episode later...
Humanity was a Slave Race for a while, but everything's cool now.
Apparently, multiple homicides caught on camera just don't have the same legal ramifications in Lonny's world as they do in ours.
Lonny's old friend Chet returns in "Lonny Throws a Bachelor Party," and everyone sees and interacts with him. Odd behavior for a schizophrenic hallucination, isn't it?Yes, yes it is.
On The Next: Well, yeah. Also, "Next Time, After That Time."
Please Wake Up: "Oh you're okay you're okay... you're alive you're alive... don't you die on me!"
Rule of Funny: Pretty much the only reason the show makes any sense.
Start of Darkness: The producer of Lonny's record chastised him for his gangbanging lifestyle. He later commits an act of gangbanging himself after Lonny claims that he alone created the record.
Temporal Paradox: Lonny meets himself from the future. And then himself from further in the future. And then himself from even further in the future. It gets worse from there.
