History LetsPlay / Persona4EnduranceRun

Here's the link to [[http://www.giantbomb.com/shin-megami-tensei-persona-4/61-21373/videos/ the episodes]]. A more user-friendly playlist is available on [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXlhzeWIuTHJT8A2En1e8Jbb9NpI0qcXJ Youtube]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse; they come from Jeff and Vinny themselves. For starters, [[JiveTurkey Funky Student]] and [[EnsembleDarkhorse Fox]] are drug dealers, Charlie is a Gundam model enthusiast who is afraid of cops, Ayane, the girl from the band social link is [[Manga/DragonBall Chiaotzu]], Yukiko likes the [[{{Squick}} Scathatch]], the doctor at the Inaba Hospital is the world's most incompetent doctor, Dojima is an AxCrazy Abusive Parent (this predating and most likely inspiring WebComic/{{Hiimdaisy}}'s take on the character) and [[VideoGame/Persona3 Chihiro and presumably the rest of the student council]] drink cough syrup. Oh and the Heaven dungeon is a stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
** The Ghoul Persona is lonely and just wants some company.

* BigOMG: A rather epic one upon seeing the result of their first fusion mistake: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sq-HQBtaRcE#t=2010s Abaddon.]]

* ButtMonkey: Kanji and Nanako. However Nanako is one of the [=NPCs=] that they grow the most attached to and they later regret not being able to progress Kanji's Social Link to its conclusion.

** Their theories about how Persona 5 will be.

* StopHavingFunGuys: Invoked concerning the Endurance Run itself. It gets these sorts of responses on Youtube, as Vinny's Persona fusing methods and battle strategies aren't quite optimal. [[CompletelyMissingThePoint All of that criticism, despite the fact that he gets through the game just fine regardless (in addition to being recorded years prior, and meant as a blind playthrough).]]

The LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', as played by Jeff Gerstmann and Vinny Caravella of [[GiantBomb GiantBomb.com]].

* TrainwreckEpisode: Part 86, where Vinny manages to fuse one Persona, lose his first battle to baby Shadows, restarts, fuses the same Persona, wins one fight, and then loses his second fight to more baby Shadows before calling it a day.
* TwoGamersOnACouch

** Discussing the delay between recording and posting of videos: "When will then be now?" "[[{{Spaceballs}} Soon]]."

** Later recreated in their [[http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-warioware-diy/2300-2265/ Quick Look]] of WarioWare DIY.

* UnwantedGiftPlot: For their gift to Nanako from the trip to [[{{Persona3}} Iwatodai]], Charlie chose the lamp. Regardless, she still loves it.

* {{Determinator}}: ''Jeff and Vinny themselves'' in Part 61. Despite frequent, random power outages at their office, the guys hook up the PS2 and recording gear to a backup power supply and keep on rolling.

** ThePrincessBride gets a shoutout when Naoto mentions being prepared for an incapacitating chemical, and Vinny name-checks iocane powder.

So began the legendary adventures of high-school student [[HelloInsertNameHere Charlie Tunoku]], shadow-slayer and ladykiller, as he searches for the truth behind a multiple murder case taking place in the sleepy country town of Inaba. Along the way he'll get jobs, pass tests, make friends, and cast Bufu on things he shouldn't, all accompanied by the [[MysteryScienceTheatre3000 MST3K]]-esque commentary of Jeff and Vinny.

!!This Let's Play provides examples of:

* HesJustHiding: Vinny believes this to be the case for [[spoiler: Nanako. He's later proven right.]]

** Ghoul and Jack Frost.

* {{Filler}}: Played with. Some episodes have Vinny make little to no progress (especially 42 and 86), but the idea of the Endurance Run is that they go through the whole game, uncut, and don't have too much time to spare playing the game.

* StopHavingFunGuys: Not within the Endurance Run, but the Endurance Run itself commonly gets these sorts of responses on Youtube, as Vinny's Persona fusing methods and battle strategies aren't quite optimal. [[CompletelyMissingThePoint All of that criticism, despite the fact that he gets through the game just fine regardless (in addition to being recorded years prior, and meant as a blind playthrough).]]

--> ''This'll end in two hits, Yosuke, you hitting the floor, and me hitting the X button.''

** Adachi can't stop calling people [[spoiler:bitches]].

->''"We'll leave it there. Come back tomorrow to find out what we just did wrong."''
-->--'''Vinny Caravella, after Yosuke decapitates the Mysterious Bear'''

* BigYes: The response of the guys upon upgrading Charlie's Social Link status with Chie to girlfriend.
