As such, he has almost the exact same backstory (except that his father was ''killed'' by a vampire, not ''was'' a vampire, as a result of not re-reading the "Phantom Blood" arc for awhile- by his own admission in the video's comments).

[[folder:Trivia Boy]]
A strange creature from Trivialand, Idaho, Trivia Boy guest stars in an episode of "The Ten Minute Power Hour" to ask Arin and Dan questions about Game Grumps history. He is actually Jacksepticeye with his arms taped to his chest and a sack on his head.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Part of a running gag. He mispronounces Arin's name as "Aron" and calls Dan "Dwayne".
* AmbiguouslyHuman: Trivia Boy speaks in a stilted MachineMonotone and his face is composed of googly eyes and a Post-it note stuck to his head. He also shuts down after Dan flicks one of his eyes off his face.
* AmbiguouslyGay: The punishment for getting a question wrong is a kiss from Trivia Boy and the prize for getting a question right is a blow job from Trivia Boy. Kisses apparently give him a "trivia erection".
* ButtMonkey: Arin and Dan frequently insult Trivia Boy for correcting them when they get an answer wrong, Arin allegedly keeps him in a furnace when he isn't needed and Dan's favorite thing about Trivia Boy is that "he never knows where and when we're about to slap him".
* ExpressiveMask: Trivia Boy initially can only smile at the camera, due to only having one Post-it note "mouth", so Arin and Dan draw more mouths on Post-it notes and swap them around whenever they feel his mood should change. By the end of the episode, Trivia boy can express happiness, indifference, surprise and post-coital-bliss.
* {{Unishment}}: The penalty Trivia Boy dishes out for missing a question is a kiss on the cheek. The prize for getting a question right is rough oral sex.

* MeetCute: Danny tries for two whole episodes to tell this story. Once he does he reveals: Avi moved to America after witnessing the atrocities of war. Ending up in New York, he tried to travel via subway but couldn't make heads or tails of anything due to his limited grasp on the English language. He asked a woman for help, and she happens to be the future Debbie Avidan. The two conveniently had to take the same train and Avi awkwardly asked Debbie out for lunch, despite the fact that she already had lunch and Avi basically wrapped his arm around her to prevent her from escaping him. You know what probably happened afterwards.

This cracked up Ross' father (whom they were visiting in Australia and loves puns) and Holly was congratulated, only for her to admit later that the pun was completely accidental.
