History LetsPlay / TheStrawhatNO

* CanadaEh:
** Travis mentions during ''Twilight Princess'' that he calls it "Cananada Land", because it irritates his Canadian friends.
** ''Punch-Out'' co-commentator Olivia is Canadian. When Yoshi fights Bear Hugger, jokes are immediately made that he is her dad.
** ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' stream guest commentator Usagihinorei is from Toronto. Cue Thorn guessing where it is and showing how completely she doesn't know where anything in Canada is.

** ''VideoGame/SleepingDogs'':

** [[VideoGame/SleepingDogs Crazy Fedora Man]]. He's not wearing a fedora: it's a straw hat. Thorn thinks that's why no one can seem to catch him.

* BelligerentSexualTension: The guys think this is what's going on with [[VideoGame/SleepingDogs Wei and Raymond]].

%%ThornBrain is trans, so even though she identified as male in the group's earlier LPs, please do not refer to her with male pronouns.

** Travis finds the little scorpions on ''Skyward Sword'' to be these. Thorn [[KillEmAll vehemently disagrees]].

* KillEmAll:
** The ending of [[spoiler:the ''Tomodachi Life'' streams]].
** When Thorn is nearing the end of a farming LP and is mostly just running out the clock, she'll often sell all of her animals so that recording moves faster. Her commentators, who get attached to the animals, are ashamed.

** ''VideoGame/LegendOfGrimrock 2'': At the end of Part 2, Yoshi is excited to see what other disgusting foods they can feed to Pubert, and he jokes about feeding him a whole snake. When they get to the Pyramid of Umas, the cobra enemies drop their tails as food.
* BrokenPedestal: For many of his [=LPs=] in the first few years, Thorn started out liking the game in question, but by the end of it she and the guys learned to hate it as all of its flaws come to the forefront. It was so prevalent with ''Bomberman'' games that she predicted this would happen with ''Bomberman Generation'' before the LP even started. Travis later noted during ''Ni no Kuni'', a game that also experienced this, that only a handful of their [=LPs=] ended with them still liking the game. The ratio was upended considerably as Travis, Yoshi and later Jacob took over more [=LPs=] specifically of games they liked, and Thorn actively decided after ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Ni no Kuni'' trained so negative that she should focus on games she knew she would enjoy the whole way through.

* RingOutBoss: Thorn witnesses [[ClimaxBoss Altair]] unintentionally ''do this to himself'' in ''Bomberman 64''.

** In ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTheTaleOfTwoTowns'', Thorn goes into a tangent about how Pandas are an evolutionary mistake.

** [=LPing=]: Thorn tends to [[OneHundredPercentCompletion 100% the games she LPs]] and errs on the side of informative, Yoshi tends to record multiple takes in order to get the best runs, and Jacob just does as much as is feesible. Travis, meanwhile, "plays for the bullshit", enjoying the game on its own merits and leaning heavily towards silliness in gameplay and commentary. One of the group's taglines describes their dynamic as "Completionist, Perfectionist, Ridiculous."

** The group greatly dislike that Amber in ''Rune Factory 4'' is a demonstrable child who can be wooed and married.

** UpToEleven with Jaggle's dog in Part 7, and then immediately subverted:

* FilkSong: In the final bonus video for ''VideoGame/BombermanHero'', Travis and Thorn parody the game's resident catchy tune, "Redial", by singing increasingly dark lyrics over it about the [[BrickJoke various jokes and]] {{Running Gag}}s they established throughout the LetsPlay.

* {{Corpsing}}: Thorn keeps making Yoshi laugh during [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZP57NPcjUg Retsupurae Samus Sucks Gaiz]], where they mockingly pretend to be child camcorder [=LPers=].

* {{Mondegreen}}:
** Non-music example. Uncut versions of ''Twilight Princess'' videos sometimes include [[FunWithSubtitles subtitles]], which read out what Thorn thinks [[SpeakingSimlish Midna's gibberish]] could be saying. Travis also started doing this during the commentary.

** In the same LP, "[[{{Mondegreen}} Good arm bread meat]]" becomes slang for a sarcastic "Way to go" when Hey Hey does something screwed up, like beating up Yeta.

%%ThornBrain is trans, so even though she was a male in the group's earlier LPs, please do not refer to her with male pronouns.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheStrawhatNO TheStrawhatNO!]]'' is a {{Lets Play}} channel headed by Creator/ThornBrain, Mugiwara Yoshi, JigglyJacob, and formerly BigTUnit1 of the parody channel Creator/TheMidnightFrogs. The group's Let's Play style is informative, yet [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] and comedic commentary, with on emphasis on the game first and their personalities second. The team name is an admitted WordSaladTitle - see the entry for the trope below.

''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheStrawhatNO TheStrawhatNO!]]'' is a {{Lets Play}} channel headed by [[Creator/TheMidnightFrogs ThornBrain, with Mugiwara Yoshi, JigglyJacob, and formerly BigTUnit1]], the former writers of ''WebVideo/SgtFrogAbridged'' and ''WebVideo/JettersAbridged''. The group's Let's Play style is informative, yet [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] and comedic commentary, with on emphasis on the game first and their personalities second. The team name is an admitted WordSaladTitle - see the entry for the trope below.

Travis bowed out of the group due to work in January 2017, and Yoshi was too busy for more than occasional commentating for the same reason, leaving Thorn as the channel's only active Let's Player for the next two years, though friend and recurring guest [=JigglyJacob=] was made a formal team member in January 2019. That February, after a sudden change in Yoshi's living situation, he returned to TSN with the intent of dedicating his time to [=LPs=], becoming a full-time commentator again and beginning series of ''Pikmin'', ''Star Fox'' and ''Mother'' [=LPs=].

* AccentuateTheNegative: Thorn acknowledges that this is their MO. Even if they love the game being played, they will point out anything that irritates them. Thorn's made an effort since 2013 to focus on games she enjoys playing after ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Ni no Kuni'' trained so negative.
