->''"I only upload high quality video game rips."''
-->-- '''The channel's response to any and all inquiries'''

''[=SilvaGunner=]'' was a YouTube channel that uploaded video game music starting around 2006. Unfortunately, the account was removed for copyright reasons in October 2010, and the creator decided to call it quits. Shortly afterwards, a tribute channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GilvaSunner GilvaSunner]] was created by fellow music uploader [=TimmyTurnersDad=]. Although the [=GilvaSunner=] channel hasn't been removed, he stopped uploading game soundtracks in June 2015 in fear of another copyright takedown.[[note]]As an exception, he has uploaded ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''[='=]s soundtrack, and some music by Japanese remix community [[http://sbfr.info/discography/ SBFR]].[[/note]] [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope Please note that this page is not about GilvaSunner or SilvaGunner]] ([[SelfDemonstratingArticle though you probably saw the subject bait-and-switch coming anyway]]).

'''[=GiIvaSunner=]''' (pronounced "gee-vuh-sun-nr"; note that the third letter is actually an uppercase "i" and not a lowercase "l") is a channel created by Chaze the Chat in January 2016. Designed after channels that posed as Creator/LittleKuriboh during the height of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''[='s=] popularity, the channel looks exactly like the real [=GilvaSunner=]'s, using the same avatar, channel header image, and channel description, for the most part. [[CaptainObvious The channel's name also looks just like [=GilvaSunner=]'s in a sans-serif font]]. Soon after the channel's inception, a number of other people expressed interest in contributing, and a small team was created to help Chaze run the channel. History repeated itself when the channel was taken down four months into its run, and [=GiIvaSunner=] was forced to start fresh with a new channel, rebranding himself '''[[MythologyGag SiIvaGunner]]''' (pronounced "see-vuh-gun-nr"; the "l" is still an uppercase "i"). For a while, SiIvaGunner channel also stopped uploading videos, but not in fear of a third copyright takedown, but because he wants some sleep. Until he starts sleepposting. The channel was eventually taken over by [[BigBad The Voice]], who regularly uploads videos.

Unlike [=GilvaSunner=], almost every SiIvaGunner video is a BaitAndSwitch video claiming to be a video game song, but in reality, the song is edited in some form. His albums, however, forgo the BaitAndSwitch aspect. Outside of the content of the channel, "[=GiIvaSunner=]" is very well-known for his {{Kayfabe}}, with much of what he says being BlatantLies.

He is most well-known for [[InTheStyleOf replacing a song's melody]] with the ThemeTune for ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', which is in reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF-xdiL7Nr0 this]] WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} video. However, there are dozens of other [[RunningGags recurring melodies]], ranging from "[[Franchise/LoveLive Snow halation]]" to [[http://chipmusic.org/8-bit+beast/music/haunted-house a seemingly​-​random horrible chiptune]]. All of these edits are contributed by a group of mashup artists on [=SoundCloud=] known as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/soundclown SoundClown]].

On September 30th, 2016[[note]]56 years after the first episode of ''The Flintstones'' aired[[/note]], Chaze [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 announced]] that the channel was ending, with two final videos to come afterwards. A final Volume 7 (as well two fruter ending rips) was also announced to be coming on Twitter. Needless to say, many [[FollowTheLeader fanmade ripping channels]] are carrying the legacy, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyIOZ0aXWJjCfR3A4HcxLdg BIizzaStunner]][[note]]which is favored by [[https://twitter.com/triplekyun/status/782479790947172352 Triple-Q]], [[https://twitter.com/LeRuseBird/status/783019499784171520 Le Ruse Bird]], and even [[https://twitter.com/the8bits/status/782757667576094720 Chaze himself]][[/note]] (though many of them [[OlderThanTheyThink already existed]]).

The channel proper has briefly returned for holiday specials, so far Halloween 2016 (belatedly) and Christmas 2016 ([[ScheduleSlip which is still going on]]). In February 15, the channel "paused" uploading after [[https://youtu.be/soz_9Ca2h4I this rip]] was posted, waiting for things to come. During the pause, videos were still occasionally uploaded, and after it ended in early April, the channel went back to its normal business.

His channel can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ecwl3FTG66jIKA9JRDtmg here]], his Website/{{Twitter}} can be viewed [[https://twitter.com/GiIvaSunner here]], and his Bandcamp can be viewed [[https://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/ here]].

!!I only add high quality trope examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:#-G]]
* TenMinuteRetirement:
** After what seemed like a GrandFinale on May 31st, [=SiIva=] returned with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aedxO20HOsw a new announcement]] on June [[ArcNumber 7th]], [[RunningGag 7 days later]].
** A slightly more literal example came when Siiva uploaded what seemed to be a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4SlU7XQikU genuine goodbye message]], stating that the channel was fun while it lasted but that it's time to move on. In addition, all characters were removed from the channel banner, and the channel description was replaced with a single sentence that said "So long, grand cowboy." But one hour later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrdKrtHkggE a new rip was uploaded]], and all the changes to the channel had been reverted. Rips continued like normal afterwards and the Goodbye video was never mentioned again.
** The September 2016 retirement, which seemed more final than the previous ones, also turned out to be, at least in part, a ruse, as new uploads began a few days after the apparent finale.
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** September 13th rips were mostly dedicated to the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' game and its 31st anniversary.
** Double Subverted during September 15th (''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'''s anniversary). The channel was filled with ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'' rips throughout the day instead... until the last hours or so when nearly 40 Undertale-related rips were uploaded.
* AWildRapperAppears: DMX appears in the middle of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EMuEZ_I6D0 this rip]] before leaving shortly after.
* AbortedArc:
** The storyline about Mr. Rental's crusade against mashups began with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3xt7QbSSI Options]] rip, and escalated from there, until rips on the topic abruptly stopped. This is because the creator of the arc stopped feeling like continuing, [[NoEnding and just left it unfinished.]]
** During the reboot saga, the Voice Inside Your Head revealed in a ''Pokémon'' ROM Hack that he engineered the reboot to protect the channel from a greater evil. This plot point was never built upon, and the channel formally ended outside of occasional events before it could be continued. [[spoiler:When the Voice eventually returned, his motive of protecting the channel has seemingly disappeared in favor of him being anti-Snow Halation and other "weeb shit" just like much of the fandom was.]]
* AlternateRealityGame: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GiIvaSunner/comments/4oxylf/recap_of_the_arg/ An ARG]] began on [[MeaningfulReleaseDate Father's Day]], which was shortly after the reboot. [[spoiler:It led to an audio file that revealed that more about the reboot. An extended version of the audio file was later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN7ptE55rV4 uploaded on youtube]].]]
* AlternateUniverse: The High Quality Reboot is a CosmicRetcon by The Voice Inside Your Head to exchange the original [=SiivaGunner=] RunningGags for others, thus creating an alternate universe. [[spoiler:As The Voice Inside Your Head is effectively a god, he can create more alternate universes as he wishes. He tells Chad Warden about several other possible alternate universes, each containing their own set of RunningGags.]]
* AnonymousBand:
** This is done to maintain Kayfabe, but frequent contributors are in the featured channels list. Often, the audio used in an upload was already uploaded on [=Soundcloud=] by its creator, so if you can find it...
** The Bandcamp page for all albums, as well as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFL3swEr7Hc "Curtain Call"]] rip, credit the identities of many contributors. The albums also reveal the proper "names" for each rip.
* AprilFoolsDay
** The second volume of his highest quality rips... which contained 245 copies of [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Grand Metropolis]] in .flac[[note]]later reuploaded in .mp3 on [=SiivaGunner=]'s channel[[/note]], with 245 copies of the same image of Creator/KevinSpacey, and a few other images (including an entire folder of [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]] pictures) thrown in for good measure.
** [=SiIva=] also uploaded the entire soundtrack of ''The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy'' unedited, followed by three unedited songs that resembled The Flintstones' theme. [[UpToEleven Then he uploaded Grand Metropolis again.]]
** The ''real'' [=GilvaSunner=] uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KH0vLOpxis Final Destination]].
** In 2017, the channel and the real [=GilvaSunner=] swapped upload schedules (though their content still remained the same).
* ArcNumber: 7, referencing the bootleg Mario/Flintstones game "7 GRAND DAD".
** On most of Siiva's albums, the number of songs is a multiple of 7. Depending on the album, this count either includes or excludes songs that are only available through downloading the album.
** The seventh rip of "Grand Metropolis" was the only one edited.
** To celebrate reaching 7,000 subscribers, Siiva uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEV-uL8NDac an edited version]] of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Q-psc5T4I a video]] that the real [=GilvaSunner=] had uploaded to celebrate reaching 150,000 subscribers.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvhi_z35-l4 Level 1 (Desert Bus)]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2qsBTGwu9M Beloved Tomboyish Girl (Extended Mix)]]'' are both several hours long, and they both feature the WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones theme song at the seven hour mark. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w68Z4V_sA3g Overworld]] from VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening only runs for nearly eleven minutes, but it features the Flintstones theme song at the seven minute mark.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhEAazYMdwM The rip of "Pause Screen"]] from VideoGame/WarioWorld (Which was uploaded during the reboot) features the Flintstones theme song at the 7 minute mark, but it quickly begins switching between the theme songs for The Flintstones, The Simpsons, and Family Guy, before moving on to other songs.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rwZxFQunfo The rip]] of "Kakariko Village (Night)" instead features "I Play Pokemon Go Every Day" at the 7 hour mark.
** After releasing his third album, [=SiIva=] took a seven day break and returned on June 7th.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_3919660105&feature=iv&src_vid=fN7ptE55rV4&v=OtyN2ZPbARs this video]], Siiva goes to buy new ripping software after the program that he had been using up until that point stops working. What was the name of the old ripping software? "[=HQripper=] 7.0"
** The number seven played a large role in the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/GiIvaSunner/comments/4oxylf/recap_of_the_arg/ Fathers Day ARG.]]
** The reboot was supposed to end on July 7th (7/7), but the video ending the reboot was immediately taken down, presumably due to issues regarding the video's flashing lights. The reupload had an additional line from The Voice indicating that epileptic viewers might want to look away from the screen.
** Including the "Behind the Scenes" Mr. Rental video and the BaitAndSwitch final track, there were a total of 7 videos uploaded after the announcement of the channel's ending.
** There are a total of seven {{Greatest Hits Album}}s (one of which is in two parts), though two of them (2 and 5) were jokes.
* AscendedExtra: ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'' was only used in around one or two rips during the reboot, but after the reboot ended, the amount of rips using it raised significantly.
* BaitAndSwitch: Every single "high quality rip" is actually this, unless it's a DoubleSubversion. Website/YouTube frowns on this behavior, which likely played a role in the original channel's termination.
** The surprise factor was lessened slightly with the new channel; its name is different, its avatar now bears [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain an eyepatch]], and the channel description makes it more clear that the songs uploaded are derivative works rather than the original songs.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU_w9A_dL04 Main Theme (Anniversary Edition) - Wii Shop Channel]] rip does this ''three times over''. For the first 53 seconds, the percussion solo from the intro loops, making the listener think it's a blue balls upload. [[spoiler:Then the beat from [[Music/{{Drake}} "Hotline Bling"]] kicks in, making you think that he'll just do a joke that [[ItsBeenDone has been done before]]. And ''then'' it turns out to be the Music/KidzBop version of "Hotline Bling".]]
** When [=SiIva=] uploaded three certain stage themes from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', the rips themselves were unedited. However, these three themes are for the characters whose names were famously switched around during localization, and rather than present them under their Japanese[[note]]Boxer = M. Bison, Claw = Balrog, Dictator = Vega[[/note]] or International[[note]]Boxer = Balrog, Claw = Vega, Dictator = M. Bison[[/note]] names, [=SiIva=] [[TakeAThirdOption assigned Boxer's theme to Vega, Claw's theme to M. Bison, and Dictator's theme to Balrog]].
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBAYOXc-Js0 Intro]] rip for ''[[VideoGame/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Computer Game]]'' is actually the It's Man opening from the first episode of [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus the show itself]], except instead of segueing into the show's title sequence, it cuts to a small part of ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack''[='=]s title sequence instead (this, in conjuction with the nature of Monty Python's It's Man openings, refers to ''The Nutshack'' theme song's repeated exclamation of "IT'S THE NUTSHACK!"), followed by the Monty Python foot crushing the logo for the cartoon.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi1tQ1r2DqU rip]] of [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Holy Orders]] is actually Holy Orders?, the distorted version played when fighting Robo-Ky.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEvZ5vj7McM Robo's Theme]] - VideoGame/ChronoTrigger plays about two seconds of [[RickRoll the obvious joke]] before spectacularly steering off-course.
* BigBad: The reboot storyline had The Voice Inside Your Head serve this role.
* BilingualBonus: The name of the album that's themed around Yoko Shimomura's compositions is "il settimo grande padre", literally meaning "The Seventh Grand Father" (AKA 7 Grand Dad) in Italian. Also from the same album is a remix of "Scherzo di Notte" ("Night Joke" in Italian) from ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts1'' that uses the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' theme song, titled "Scherzo di Momenti Divertenti" ("[[MemeticMutation Funny Moments]] Joke").
* BittersweetEnding: The reboot arc [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eionH4HdkW8 ends with]] [[spoiler:Chad accepting the Voice's offer to merge the universes without Snow Halation.]]
** In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B8ADYhE_ms true ending]], [[spoiler: Chad manages to bring Snow Halation back and defeat the voice... [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own life.]] And as part of the ARG revealed, the [[GreaterScopeVillain real cause of the reboot]] is still out there.]]
* BookEnds:
** The last rip[[note]]Not counting the additional four "rips" planned post-end[[/note]] is [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire "Battle! (Wild Pokémon)"]], the rip that started the channel.
** One of the first rips to get popular was the rip of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''[='=]s "Slider", which was a simple bait-and-switch into the ''Flintstones'' theme; it became one of the most re-ripped songs as a result. On the last day of continuous rips, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiaYiWPKRVw N64DD version]] was uploaded as one of the last ones, and started the same way (albeit with Joel's infamous Grand Dad freakout overlayed onto it)... only for it to stop partway through to let [[ContinuityCavalcade just about every other running gag do their own rendition of it]].
** After wrapping up the channel for good, [=SiIvaGunner's=] profile picture changed to [=GilvaSunner's=] original picture of Timmy Turner's dad.
* [[BreakoutCharacter Breakout]] [[MemeticMutation Meme]]: WesternAnimation/TheNutshack and [[Series/LazyTown We Are Number One]].
** The Nutshack, while originally introduced as an [[StylisticSuck intentionally bad]] running gag to be the "villain" of the Reboot ARG, proved popular enough both on and beyond the channel (mostly via "The Nutshack but..." videos) to be kept on as a regular meme on the channel, even being raised to one of the "holy trinity" alongside Grand Dad and Snow Halation.
** We Are Number One, meanwhile, was a [[BatmanGambit deliberate]] [[invoked]][[IntendedAudienceReaction attempt]] to create a running gag that would be popular amongst fans after the disastrous [[TheScrappy Green de la Bean]] gag. It worked far better than expected: the song became incredibly popular even outside the channel, with "We Are Number One but..." videos rapidly eclipsing their "The Nutshack but..." inspirations in popularity, enough so that when the [=GoFundMe=] for Stefán Karl Stefánsson's[[note]]Robbie Rotten's actor, who sung We Are Number One[[/note]] cancer treatment came to light, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments it was fully funded in a matter of hours]]. This earned mainstream media attention, and a thank you message from Stefán in which he - and the actors for the Rottens - sung "We Are Number One" live on stream; in addition, the audio keys for the song were released separately [[ApprovalOfGod so that it would be easier for fans to "keep memeing"]]. But despite all that, We Are Number One has only ever been a minor meme on the channel, rather than being pushed forward like the Nutshack was.
* BrownNote: The bean robots in the ''Christmas Comeback Crisis'' are equipped with speakers that [[SensoryAbuse blast the "Green de la Bean" song at people to disable them.]]
* TheBusCameBack:
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylco87FyYjU Vocal Mix]] of ''Wolf girl with you''[='=]s Title Theme features the first true appearance of Loud Nigra since the reboot.
** [[spoiler:Despite Snow Halation being erased during the merging of the universes in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eionH4HdkW8 Normal Ending]] of the reboot, in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B8ADYhE_ms True Ending]], it makes its return.]]
* BusCrash: After several weeks of absence, Mr. Rental eventually made a return in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiaYiWPKRVw Slider - Super Mario 64DD]], where he is presumably killed during a standoff with the police.
* ButtMonkey: ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure''-related rips are often StylisticSuck (most obvious with the [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Bloody Stream]] rips); this got increasingly prevalent as the channel went on, culminating with an entire album full of StylisticSuck rips as a [[TakeThatAudience jab]] at the FanDumb who wanted them.\\
Notably, ''[=JoJo=]'' songs that are remixed but are under a different series' title (usually with ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games) have been known to be consistently good. Songs that are actually under the series' name (such as from ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven''), however, are usually bad on purpose.
* CallBack:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUDaUo6rJBk Final Boss (Phase 2)]] from ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' incorporates his previous rip of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} sans.]] as it fades out.
** After the reboot, a few of his older, more famous ''Flintstones'' remixes (i.e. ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'''s battle theme, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Kokiri Forest]], and [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} the Splatfest theme]]) got paralleling ''Simpsons'' remixes.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmfG_X2en_g The "Remastered" version]] of "donacdum" from ''VideoGame/{{Payday2}}'' is actually a reboot version of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS31dkUfuLM the original video]] ([[http://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/track/donacdad NBGMusic's "donacdad"]]), with Joel's voice samples replaced with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/AlWikowonkavitz AlWikowonkavitz]] doing a Joel impression.
** The rip of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTtA33u7yw0 Bowser's Theme]] from ''VideoGame/{{Super Mario 64}}'' is one of the few pre-reboot rips to feature the ThemeTune for ''VideoGame/TheSimpsons'' (one of the main {{Running Gag}}s of the reboot). During the reboot, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDjUGhaP3U0 Beta Mix]] of the same song was released, now featuring the theme tune for ''The Flintstones'' instead.
** The High Quality Reboot began with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q Snow halation]], which features Windows crashing and rebooting, cutting off right before the welcome screen. One of the videos that marked the fake end of the reboot is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw3JHp6eR98 Start-Up Opening]], which incorporates the Windows 98 startup sound.
** Before the reboot, a rip of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuXaS9LnIdU 3DS Mii Maker theme]] is actually an amature video of someone trying to make a Peter Griffin Mii, only to end up creating a Fred Flintstone one. Towards the end of the reboot, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5NXhEByWHY a similar Mii Channel rip]] was made that flips the premise.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLXJUr1-MlE Nintendo Direct 9.1.2016]] video is one to the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcwqpDIr9LQ Sony E3 Conference 2016]] video, in that they both feature remixed clips of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' where Will freaks out over his missing video games, and they both end with InMemoriam[[invoked]] segments (the original video for the lack of UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita announcements, the later video for UsefulNote/WiiU losing its exclusivity to UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS).
** ''Stagg Street Arrangements'' includes a bonus cover of "Everyday Goodbyes" by "Bob Dylan", referencing the earlier album dedicated to him.
* CerebusSyndrome: The ContinuityReboot led to several darker, SensoryAbuse-laden rips - as well as the development of an actual story [[spoiler:that ultimately ends with the reveal of [[GreaterScopeVillain an unseen higher power]], the merging of two universes, and the seeming death of Chad Warren and the Voice Inside Your Head]].
* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOB3ibvOwpI The OST version rip]] of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain "Sins of the Father]]" was uploaded on the day the parallel universe storyline was supposed to officially come to an end. The last seven seconds of the rip has the video glitching out and cutting to black, with the last thing heard being a familiar voice saying [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} "Let's check it out."]]
* ClosingCredits: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFL3swEr7Hc "Curtain Call"]] from ''VideoGame/MOTHER3'' acts as this for the entire channel, crediting every single contributor by name.
* CoconutMeetsCranium: [[https://youtu.be/FKDlqdsw1i8 CG! Coconut gun!]]
* CompressedAdaptation: [[http://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/track/cave-dungeon-extended-mix-unextended-mix The album release]] of ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''[='=]s "Cave Dungeon (Extended Mix)" retains the [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Jellyfish Jam]] ending, but the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7LGgB5hBMQ twelve]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIH_OZ13M6o hour]] [[OverlyLongGag buildup]] was replaced with the song's original intro.
* ContinuityReboot:
** It began on June 17th, 2016, when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q this]] "Snow halation" video featured the channel "crashing" ala UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows. Immediately after, many changes became apparent.
*** The channel icon changed to an odd, anaglyphic version of the normal one.
*** The channel's banner became bereft of Grand Dad and company ([[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]], [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]], and [[VideoGame/TheIdolMaster Haruka Amami]] eventually took their place).
*** His Twitter name had "*reboot*" appended to it.
*** "Please read the channel description" and "I only upload high quality video game rips" became "Read the channel description, please" and "I upload high quality video game rips only".
*** The main RunningGag of the channel went from being ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
** The reboot ended on July 8th, 2016, when the Voice Inside Your Head's MergedReality proposal [[spoiler:is accepted by Chad Warden, and all the aforementioned changes have reverted to what they were before]], with the exception of the channel icon (which became an unaltered photo of the statue of Antinous, the source of the real [=GilvaSunner=]'s icon) and banner (in which Homer, Peter, and Haruka were gone and Grand Dad was back in the lighthouse, but Nozomi and Loud Nigra were still absent). [[spoiler:24 hours later, Chad brings back Snow Halation himself, and all of the changes are completely reverted, for good (though it took nearly two weeks for Homer, Peter, and Haruka to be added back into the lighthouse to reflect the new status quo).]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Rips on the [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Q9CaWvV5_x90Z9VZ5cxmg Flustered Fernando]] side-channel lean heavily in this direction, as the entire point of the channel was to upload/re-upload rips that couldn't be left on the main channel for fear of alienating viewers and being flagged. These include all of the bean rips, all of the 9/11 rips, a series of rips "celebrating" the 10-year anniversary of the Michael Richards Laugh Factory incident, the infamous Pupa scene, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking an unaltered, HD version of the I Love Egg song]].
* DearNegativeReader: [[invoked]]
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MxbM1IGc1s "OST version"]] of Megalovania from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is interrupted by Chad Warden, who takes his time to insult people who hate the [[Franchise/LoveLive Snow Halation]] remixes that frequently show up on the channel.
** Chad disrupts the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBir5JLgfqw "Beta Mix"]] of Megalovania from ''VideoGame/TheHalloweenHack'' to once again call out the Snow Halation haters.
** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q the video]] that began the reboot, we are told that the channel crashed because of a problem with the file "HALATION.SYS" which was caused by "COMMUNITY_DISCOURSE".
* DependingOnTheWriter: Is [=SiIvaGunner=]'s name supposed to be spelled with an actual "L" or a second "I" (either subtly or blatantly)? The Mr. Rental Looney Tunes rips feature both spellings.
* DoubleSubversion:
** The ''Demo'', ''Alpha Mix'', ''Original Mix'', ''Alternate Mix'', ''Unused'', and ''Unused Demo'' versions of [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Grand Metropolis]] are this. The AprilFoolsDay videos were originally this too, but were renamed to BaitAndSwitch titles indicating them as [[BlatantLies "APRIL FOOL'S REMIXES"]] the day after.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gM35fzwFPA K.K. Cruisin']] from the Gurando no Mori album is just a genuine jazz cover of the original song, with no twists.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyiko56Dk5A Super Mario Odyssey]] was also a genuine jazz cover with no twists.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Woodman]] works for the voice, and [[spoiler:keeping the Voice alive is why he hijacked the channel.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** The earliest videos had the image change into a more fitting one when the ruse was revealed (i.e. showing Grand Dad when the ''Flintstones'' theme kicked in, which can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9eMRFPtKbA here]]). [=SiivaGunner=] has re-uploaded some of them, but they now have a constant image throughout.
** The ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' rip of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMS2j_TbTVk "The Evil King Bowser"]] features [=SiIvaGunner=] speaking, but his voice was provided by Microsoft Sam, rather than [=VoiceForge=]'s Wiseguy.
* EasterEgg:
** Certain rips begin to incorporate another song as they fade out. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my82UjjENcE This one]], for example, incorporates a bit of "Megalovania" mere seconds before the video ends.
** Other videos have abnormal descriptions. For example, [=25M=] from ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' changes "Please read the channel description" into "HOW MUCH OF THE CHANNEL DESCRIPTION CAN YOU READ?", and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnYhR3ysSEc SUPERHOT]] has the description almost entirely full of the word "{{VideoGame/SUPERHOT}}".
** The description of each [[Franchise/LoveLive "Snow Halation"]] upload contains a quote from a member of μ's.
* TheEndingChangesEverything: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game]] reveals that [[spoiler:the Mr. Rental seen in the main Mr. Rental rips was actually an EvilTwin, [[http://www.mrrental.com.au/your-options/ownership-option Mr. Own]], while the Mr. Rental seen in the ''Looney Tunes'' title theme rips was the real one, who was GoodAllAlong]].
* EndOfSeriesAwareness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPzL6vI3Uqg "Staff Credits"]] from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz]]'' (posted the day before the channel's end) says "Finally, the time has come, it's the last r-r-rip with a Coconut Gun."
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcTdrLDuDWY "All at Once"]] is apparently [[SensoryAbuse every single rip and/or meme from [=SiIva=]'s channel up to that point]].
* ExactWords: Some uploads will give you what the song's title describes.
** For starters, "[[https://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/track/we-love-burning-town-feat-a-burning-town We Love Burning Town]]" from ''[[VideoGame/{{Shantae}} Shantae and the Pirate's Curse]]'' features [[CrossesTheLineTwice a burning town.]]
** VideoGame/{{Undertale}} has ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQe9YF9zXWk Dating Fight!]]'' which features a {{Sexophone}}/Megalovania mashup playing over what sounds like Sans and Toriel having sex, and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p1DADNzW6A Battle Against a True Hero]]'' which features a VideoGame/{{Roblox}} fight.
** The "high quality rip" of the song "End of the World", from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', indeed features a song [[NamesTheSame of the same name]]. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX7Oc6Qc6us the song in the video]] is actually the finale version of the second opening theme of the 2014 anime adaptation of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders''.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnA0-dAen7A Silence]]'' from ''VideoGame/FZero''. [[spoiler:Until the end, that is.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txZxRDvpJ9g This rip]] of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Against the Black Knight]] is [[spoiler: actually a rip of the battle theme of [[VideoGame/ShovelKnight another Black Knight]]. The inverse is done in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-RoJoqOFrc this rip]] of The Defender (Black Knight Battle)]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzM9X4lq_JA High Drop]] from ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'' 2 is actually a skit where one of the soldiers does drop from a great height.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0qeiAWRsBg Launch Base Zone (Act 1)]] from ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' is really a Genesis remix of the ''Sonic & Knuckles Collection'' version's theme.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUti4FG-fl4 Three Minutes Clapping]] from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' is literally that.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIcbDjyQeWw "Original Mix"]] of It's Showtime from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is quite literally the song Showtime from ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. (Fitting enough since its developer, Music/{{Toby Fox}}, created numerous songs for the webcomic.)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUPgf-rRTE Dream Land]] from [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Lotus Land Story]] is a remix of [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Gourmet Race]], or in other words, Dream Land from [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. 64]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSWCIQOgF5E Gallery]] from ''VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven'' features a literal gallery... [[spoiler: ...Of WebVideo/AngryJoe pictures, set to a remix of Roundabout.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_clIyM_pGWo Metal Scratchin' (Blazy Mix)]] from ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' is literally just the sounds of metal scratching against metal.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1JlIbQeSR0 Theme of Friends]] from ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' is "I'll Be There For You". In other words, it is indeed the Theme of ''Series/{{Friends}}''.
* EvilOverlooker: On July 21st, 2016, fans have noticed the Website/YouTube channel art was updated to feature a very, very faint image of the head of Tito Dick (one of the stars of the infamous cartoon show ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'', the theme song of which having risen to prominence in the channels video game rips since the end of the reboot). Since then, Dick's head had become a bit clearer. However, on August 1, 2016, Dick's head faded back to the opacity it was before the SeriesFauxnale on July 30, 2016.[[labelnote:note]]It seems that as of recently, Tito Dick's opacity fluctuates between almost invisible, to very visible.[[/labelnote]]
* FadeToBlack: [[spoiler:The merging of the universes ends with a clip of Honoka from the music video for Snow Halation fading away.]]
* FandomNod: Deliberately [[InvokedTrope invoked]] during the story-related videos and several of the channel's [[Website/{{Twitter}} Tweets]] during the ContinuityReboot. For example, the reboot was caused by the [=SiIvaGunner=] fandom's [[TheScrappy extreme hate]] towards "[[Franchise/LoveLive Snow halation]]", represented by the channel crashing because of a problem with the file "HALATION.SYS" which was caused by "COMMUNITY_DISCOURSE". During later videos, [[spoiler:The Voice Inside Your Head makes nods to the various shenanigans that occurred throughout the reboot videos' comment sections, such as the "[[Franchise/{{Kirby}} Dedede]] Squad".]]
* FakeOutFadeOut: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF2gddb-yBY "Treasure Chest Open"]] rip from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' employs this.
* FakeOutOpening:
** Some videos start out as being presented as just a still image of the game's title (just like the majority of the rips), only to switch over to an actual video at one (often early) point.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntm2MQmTwx4 "Be Cool, Be Wild, and Be Groovy"]] rip from ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' appears to be yet another "Snow halation" mashup, only for Dr. Eggman to [[RunningGagged put an abrupt end to it]]. The real mashup is of "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet, with interjections from Eggman and Big the Cat. This was later followed up with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOimFoRo0CQ the 20th Anniversary version]], in which Eggman references the original and allows Snow halation to proceed. [[spoiler:It ends, however, with [[WestrenAnimation/TheNutShack Jack]] dedicating the video to Tito Dick, followed by ''The Nutshack'' theme playing over a panicking Eggman]].
* FictionalVideoGame: Rarely there has been rips of non-existent games including [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL0CQjrcN8D2t-yq6Wjkp9QlVYaw3v0nv Zeno Blade Chronicle X]], a pirate version of VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQWb4ODbkCI Half-Zombie in the Steel Stronghold]], which has only one song for it.
* ForcedMeme:
** [[InUniverse According to]] [[https://youtu.be/pBir5JLgfqw?t=2m31s Chad Warden]], ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' theme was one from the beginning, and [[https://soundcloud.com/djfruitsnackz/history-of-grand-dad this]] [[PoorCommunicationKills poorly-made]] description of the meme's origin supports his claim.
** "Snow Halation." The vast majority of other {{Running Gag}}s originate from places other than the channel, but "Snow Halation" as a meme originates entirely from being prominent contributor Triple-Q's favorite song from ''Franchise/LoveLive'' and pushing it alongside the other prominent running gags.
** The theme song to ''WesternAnimation/TheNutshack'', after being featured in the ARG, has been introduced as another forced meme. It has been received relatively better than "Snow Halation", although some still don't like the effort of trying to meme something else.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** The Mii Maker rip (a video of someone searching for a [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] VideoGame/{{Mii}} tutorial, and subsequently making one of [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]]) rather eerily parallels the ContinuityReboot.
** There are two main clues concerning TheReveal that [[spoiler:the SerialKiller Mr. Rental from his own rips is a different person than the NiceGuy Mr. Rental from the ''Looney Tunes'' rips]]: [[spoiler:a moment where the former, actually Mr. Own, ''buys'' a phone, and the fact that their car is crudely rendered in MS Paint (sticking out like a sore thumb in the generally angular art style used in the ''Looney Tunes'' rips).]]
** [[https://i.redd.it/x1x99v9oql3y.jpg An image included with ''Volume 7'' depicts an upside-down triangle with a small purple circle in the center.]] [[https://i.reddituploads.com/1843d400e54c4c1ea8d4c3cc2c4885a8?fit=max&h=1536&w=1536&s=1de5173791fcb22cc32b7f9a1a17c8af Wood Man's final farewell on Twitter]] has a portrait of someone with that same triangle for a head in the upper-left. ''The [=SiIvaGunner=] Christmas Comeback Crisis'' reveals that person to be [[spoiler:the physical form of the Voice Inside Your Head]].
* FreezeFrameBonus: The music notes that appear in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4MbZWtq27g Music Maker 1]] before being erased are actually the first few notes of ([[RunningGag what else?]]) ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' theme.
* GagCensor:
** In the album art for ''Volume 3 & Knigra'', [=GilvaSunner=]'s avatar is covered by the [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]] star and Loud Nigra is covered by the [=GilvaSunner=] Seal of Quality.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7dOMYuKC7A This rip]] of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure "Skydeck a Go!Go!"]] (a mashup with "Bonfire" by Music/ChildishGambino) censors all of the latter song's obscenities with various ''Sonic'' sound effects.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxgFDrs47sg The rip]] of [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} "Beloved Tomboyish Girl"]] features the infamous "Russian Dongcopter" video and uses [[WesternAnimation/TheNutshack Tito]] [[VisualPun Dick]]'s head as a censor.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: The [=SiIva=] Direct stream for July 11th, 2016. [=SiIvaGunner=] hypes up a brand new high quality rip, only for it to end up being delayed. He then tries to make up for it by playing footage of a live concert performance of "Snow Halation", but this causes the entire stream to be blocked by Lantis, the record label of the ''Love Live'' franchise.
%%Please don't add anything related to "Ending - Sonic Lost World" until there's proof that it's not a Series Fauxnale.
* GrandfatherClause: Grand Dad is a [[{{Pun}} literal]] example; although the theme appears on nearly every other rip, it's been met with very little resistance by both viewers and the team, due to it appearing in [=SiIvaGunner=]'s debut video and thus considered a major part of the channel's identity. Even the ContinuityReboot brought it back towards the end.
* GrandFinale:
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eionH4HdkW8 A Grand New Era ~Ending~]] is this to the entire reboot storyline. However, after completing an additional ARG, the fans achieved the [[GoldenEnding True Ending]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B8ADYhE_ms of the reboot]], where instead of resigning to Snow Halation's fate, Chad fights back against the Voice Inside Your Head, stating that [=SiIvaGunner=] does not make rips for the fans, but [[ThePowerOfLove rather out of love.]] Using this love and the MF Like Button, Chad [[spoiler:vanquishes the The Voice Inside Your Head and saves Snow Halation]].
** On October 1st, 2016, '[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel]]' was uploaded. The man shown in the video is Chaze the Chat, [=SiIva=] himself, announcing the end of uploads on the channel. He also stated there are two more rips to be uploaded (will be noted when uploaded).
*** The collection of Ending and Credits rips leading up October 1st also count, most notably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaXxs0ZvDlc File Select Fusion]], which featured a collaboration with Joel, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kavwoa8WELo Battle! (Wild Pokémon) (High Quality) - Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire)]], a version of the original channel's first rip updated to include the channel's more recent memes.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcYz6KZtqs&t=0s Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD]].
* GroundhogDayLoop: Had one on Groundhog Day 2017.
* GuestStar: There's been times when other [=YouTubers=] submitted their own rips to the channel. However, like all the other rippers, they go uncredited.
** [=Larryinc64=], another video game music channel, made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sz1vqFVyiA Buy Somethin' Will Ya! (Beta Mix)]].
** Aztrosist helped [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdLNkrxQYB8 in advertising Grand Dad 64]].
** ZVAARI did the animation for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcYz6KZtqs Title Theme & Ending]].
** [=GilvaSunner=] (the real one) participated in an AprilFoolsDay joke by uploading [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KH0vLOpxis Final Destination]] to his channel. He kindly credits a fraction of the team in the description.
*** In 2017, the two channels swapped upload schedules with eachother (the channels' content still remained the same though).
** [=RelaxAlax=] made a SelfParody of his Know Your Moves series for the channel in, fittingly enough, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ZrbZI3EZk a Smash Bros. rip]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:H-P]]
* HappyBirthdayToYou: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAPd86aS7E This video]] implements the melody into [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} "His Theme"]], referencing its one year anniversary.
* HappyEndingOverride: The ''Christmas Comeback Crisis'' reveals that [[spoiler:due to The Voice being a Figment/human hybrid, he was able to survive Chad's MF Like Button by using Wood Man to keep the idea of The Voice alive, thus preserving him as a Figment. He then created a program to bring Figments into the real world, and used it to bring himself and the other Figments alive so he could take over the world.]]
* TheHero:
** Chad Warren serves as the protagonist of the reboot arc, an ardent defender of "Snow halation".
** Nozomi takes up his stead in the Christmas special for similar reasons.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that Chad died after using the MF Like Button to destroy The Voice and restore Snow Halation.]][[note]]Though he later makes a small reappearance in the 8/14/2016 stream, simply saying that Psy x Nozomi is [[spoiler: ballin'.]][[/note]]
* {{Homage}}: ''Christmas Comeback Crisis'' is one to ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' - its plot is relatively the same (an outside force turning a once-natural land into a purely mechanical one, and a small, cute hero(ine) putting an end to it), and the former's videos always cull music from the latter (most notably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SCKrU75WCw the prologue]], an homage to the game's intro). Also, the latter game's BigBad makes a few appearances, and his {{leitmotif}} turns up far more frequently in the Christmas rips.
* HostileShowTakeover:
** Wood Man took over the channel after the Halloween special ended; however, all he did was shitpost on Twitter before leaving to fight Mega Man.
** A straighter example is the Voice Inside Your Head returning; he's the ArcVillain of the Christmas special and makes his motives apparent in the channel and video descriptions.
* HousePseudonym: In the album releases, artists who wanted to remain uncredited are given the name "Barney Rubble". For ''GSHQVGR Vol. FOUR HOURS!'', the house pseudonym was changed to "Principal Seymour Skinner" due to the album being a compilation of reboot songs. On other albums, uncredited artists are similarly given names related to the album's focus.
* {{Hypocrite}}: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6j-SpK5SvU this video]], The Voice Inside Your Head proposes the option of [[MergedReality merging the Pre-Reboot and Post-Reboot universes]] without "Snow Halation", claiming that while ''The Flintstones'' ThemeTune is beloved and fits in well to any song, "Snow Halation" has caused too much discourse among [=SiIvaGunner=]'s fans due to being "weeb shit" (among other things). A few days later, a rip of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9juELxrHwg video was uploaded]] featuring the Voice's cover of "Go My Way". It even opens with the Voice giving a short speech thanking the fans for ensuring that there would be no more idol music on the channel.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Once, after fans sniffed out a [[StylisticSuck "low quality rip"]], [=SiIva=] congratulated the fans on finding it in the comments of another video of his. This exchange resulted:
-->'''kaabiimaster:''' i thought you only uploaded high quality rips\\
'''[=SiIvaGunner=]:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} I only upload high quality video game rips.]]
* TheImmodestOrgasm: The sound of [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loud-nigra "Loud Nigra"]], which is used as a RunningGag on the channel, is essentially an [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] example of this trope [[UpToEleven to the absolute extreme]].
* InconsistentDub: The channel seems to deliberately waver between referring to the channel/character as "[=SiIvaGunner=]" (with a second I) and "[=SilvaGunner=]" (with an L); notably, the Voice Inside Your Head always refers to it as "[=SiIvaGunner=]", while Chad Warden always uses "[[AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle SEE-vuh-gonn-NAHH]]". Album titles and similar promotional material has used both.
* IncrediblyLongNote:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08R1xfO5JYs Prologue (Castle Gate)]] from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaI''.
** [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Live and]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOEvlJVjnF0 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]
** [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Elec Man]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJzqcEp2hmU 's theme]] has one that lasts 10 seconds... [[ThrowItIn and the rest of the video is just the beat and triangle wave.]]
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGmY9lv9gI0 His World]]'' from VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006, with added Loud Nigra, Magic Missiles, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the Spoken Wikipedia Project article on "Cock and Ball Torture"]].
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCvCa0FRiQ Game Over]]'' from VideoGame/SegaRally has one that lasts ''36 minutes''. [[spoiler:At 17:36 you can hear a voice whispering "grand dad", and at 23:27 you can hear a door knock three times.]]
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVb_if7Taqg Uncontrollable]]'' from VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX has one that starts at 1:09 which then changes to the [[RunningGag Flintstones theme]] at 2:09. This repeats at the 2:19 mark.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9TCICJ4G48 Start:DASH!]]'' from VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival...the second note lasts ''three minutes'' until a BaitAndSwitch occurs toward the end.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf446sD6xyw Ice Man]]'' from VideoGame/MegaMan1 has one that starts at the 12 second mark and lasts for the rest of the video.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode: The rip of the ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival'' song "Futari Happiness (NOZOMI Mix)" (in which [=SiIvaGunner=]'s "[=HQripper=] 7.0" software causes problems with the rip, forcing him to get new ripping software from Loud Nigra) turns out to be connected with the reboot, according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN7ptE55rV4 this video]][[labelnote:*]]though the first part of the audio had previously been distributed to people involved in the ARG[[/labelnote]].
* InsistentTerminology: [=SiIvaGunner=]'s videos don't contain "music", "remixes", "mashups", or anything like that. They contain ''"High Quality Video Game Rips"''.
* InTheStyleOf: A staple of the channel. ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' is almost always involved, even if another song is primarily featured.
* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: [[invoked]] Parodied with regards to the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' series in [[https://youtu.be/gqA7sKp5ohU this]] video. It's ostensibly the overworld theme from ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' (and uses that game's logo for the thumbnail), but the song itself is the title theme from ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros1'', with the image being ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'''s logo and the playlist link in the description going to that of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU''.
* JumpScare:
** At the last second of [[spoiler:"Stage Start (Alternate Mix) - VideoGame/DonkeyKong", which is mostly a remix of the main theme of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', Loud Nigra comes in, and it's louder than the rest of the video.]]
** The lone rip of ''VideoGame/SpookysJumpScareMansion'', predictably, is mostly quiet... save for several abrupt, [[SensoryAbuse loud]] soundbites from the channel's {{Running Gag}}s.
** Any rip that uses the [[https://www.facebook.com/greendelabean/ Green de la Bean]] meme will most definitely have one of these, usually accompanied with SensoryAbuse to boot. Thankfully, the animation used (featuring a cartoon bean mascot) is a deliberate NightmareRetardant, plus later appearances have become more telegraphed.
** A Creepypasta-esque, ongoing version of this has started after the channel returned from its "pause" in early 2017. These rips usually begin with an image of a black boy wearing shorts and a life vest on a white background. The video zooms onto his face, and without warning, shifts to an edited, red-tinted photo of a celebrity with glowing white eyes while playing a loud noise, followed alarm sounds. The image fades away as the rip shifts to a completely unrelated video. [[NothingIsScarier Fans aren't sure what this even is]].
* KayfabeMusic: The various people that run the channel act as one entity, and always try to reassure people that "he" only uploads high quality video game rips. In addition, the one time they ''did'' upload regular video game music, the videos were later re-named "April Fool's Remixes", and the aforementioned prank from the actual [=GilvaSunner=] was said to be from a parody account.
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:The Voice and Haltmann unceremoniously squash the Cinderella Girls and the Producer on live television to kick off the Christmas special.]]
* KnightTemplar: Mr. Rental is one as of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3xt7QbSSI this rip]], wanting to ban ''all'' mashups from the channel, regardless of quality.
* LateArrivalSpoiler:
** With how popular the remixes have become, the BaitAndSwitch intent is expected rather than not (although the channel still {{troll}}s listeners with how it surprises them).
** People who pay attention to the playlist section on the channel can already expect what games are being ripped on any particular day. To keep an hourly upload schedule, rips are uploaded in mass, and added to the playlists ahead of time. The rips are then privated, with the team setting each one to public later. However, [=YouTube=]'s algorithm updates playlists whenever a video is added to one regardless, and since channels sort playlists by this algorithm as well, the rips somewhat get spoiled because of it.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: On July 7th, "A Grand New Era ~Finale~" was uploaded and quickly deleted in favor of an ARG that eventually resulted in the video being reuploaded for good. The only difference between [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqCQWMFdxtQ the leaked release (reuploaded on another YouTube channel)]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eionH4HdkW8 the current release]] is an additional scene before the merging sequence:
-->'''Voice:''' Oh, and Chad? If you happen to be epileptic, you might want to turn away. The restoration process could get a little messy on the eyes. Unless of course, you happen to have seen this process before. But you certainly couldn't have, right? Let us begin.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: During the week between the [=Koriball2=] and [=Koriball2.5=] streams, the stream chat was fully functional (despite the stream being offline), leading to this effect. The chat inevitably devolved to a couple people [[SeinfeldianConversation having irrelevant conversations]].
* LeftHanging: The lore thread featuring Mr. Rental is ultimately never finished. However, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game]], gives us some information on how the series was supposed to end.
* LettingTheAirOutOfTheBand: Done with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my82UjjENcE "The Grand Finale"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=158yOFYY1do the "beta mix"]] of ''The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy'', and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZwdgbteagw "Final Boss"]], marking the transition into the real songs. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyDJsjJkvM "Destruction of the Sammer Kingdom"]] rip also does this to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''[='=]s theme.
* LetsPlay: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7csytJXT2s Let's Play - ]][[NonIndicativeName Super Mario RPG]]" is presented as one of ''7 Grand Dad''. [[spoiler:At first, the player speaks fondly of the game, but after getting a GameOver on the first level, he RageQuits, storms off to vent his frustration, and comes back to calmly announce that there will be no more episodes.]]
* LivingStatue: This is [=SiIvagunner=]'s AuthorAvatar, a digitally-modified bust of Antinous.
* LongList: Rips of ''Mario Forever'' usually simply list the console origin as "PC". For the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOMfqWKEJ0Y title screen rip]], it is apparently on "PC, Windows, Flash, Computer, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Personal Computer]], Android, Mobile Phone, Samsung Galaxy, Microsoft Windows 10, Windows 2000, Desktop, Linux Mint PC, Mac, [=HTML5=], Mario Platform, Super Windows 8.1, Windows Microsoft 7, Chrome OS, Mobile Android Kitkat, Macintosh Apple Computer, Windows Virtual Box [=VMWare=], Wii U Nintendo Browzer Orygynal, Nintendololo On Afficial 3DS, Linux Super, Ubuntu, Spongebob Stupid in Maryo Simulator (Portable Device)".
* LongSongShortScene: The rip of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI3eWXsWbNI Power of "NEO"]] pokes fun at the fact that this song plays for a ZeroEffortBoss.
** A similar thing is done for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUToXCFd0KM A Critical Battle]]" from ''VideoGame/TheAngryVideoGameNerdIIAssimilation'', poking fun at the shortness of the mid-boss battles.
* LongTitle: The actual Bandcamp titles of some of the rips are downright ridiculous, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAKNDlWlykU The Decisive Battle - Final Fantasy VI]][[note]]"Childish Gambino, Drake and Waka Flocka Flame watch as Ashley suplexes a train with Flandre inside screaming during a µ's concert but suddenly Chip the Ripper shows up so it's all good"[[/note]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beNfj2tlQ1o Unknown from M.E. (OST Version)]][[note]]"Knuckles from K​.​N​.​U​.​C​.​K​.​L​.​E​.​S. & Knuckles: Knuckles in Knuckles the Echidna feat. Knuckles from the Knuckles the Echidna Series [Knuckles of the Year Edition] & Knuckles (Full Version & Knuckles)"[[/note]]
* LuckySeven: As a reference to the "Grand Dad" bootleg game's full title, "Super Mario 7" / "7 Grand Dad", the number seven (as well as seven thousand, AKA [[{{Pun}} seven grand]]) serves as an ArcNumber of [=SiIvaGunner=] and his works.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Chad Warden refers to the Voice Inside Your Head as the "Gay Mexican-Ass in My Ass" on multiple occasions.
* TheManBehindTheMan:
** As revealed in ''[[GameMod Pokémon Grand Dad Edition]]'', [[spoiler:The Voice Inside Your Head was only a conduit for something much more sinister.]]
** The whole channel is manned by an internet user named Chaze the Chat, who identified himself in one of the last videos [=SiIvaGunner=] posted.
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cn9ewsm8pg "Agent Yoru o Yuku"]] April Fools 2017 rip, which brings together a massive AllStarCast to perform a huge meme compilation to the tune of "Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga", including the cast of {{WebAnimation/TOME}} (with [=LittleKuriboh=] doing a [[WebAnimation/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries YGOTAS bit]]), Creator/KiraBuckland, [[Anime/LoveLiveSunshine Corina Boettger]], and [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV Matt Shipman]], with mixing and mastering by Music/TheLivingTombstone, among others.
* MergedReality: The Voice Inside Your Head offers Chad Warden the opportunity to create a world where all of [=SiIvaGunner=]'s traditions before and during the reboot co-exist, with the exception of the divisive Snow Halation. [[spoiler:Chad ultimately accepts this, since all he wants is the real [=SiIva=] back, but manages to get Snow Halation back anyway.]]
* MoodWhiplash:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvxmQQdSCow This "rip"]] of the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube startup fanfare [[NightmareFuel begins with]] [[spoiler:a particularly creepy song from ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'', combined with [[Film/{{Carrie}} "THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU!"]] and [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinny]] {{laughing|Mad}}]]... then abruptly changes to the rubber ducky version of the actual song at the very end.
** The infamous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrydNhvGy0w Ai no Uta rip]] from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''. A cute and peaceful ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' song [[spoiler:that suddenly gets mixed with the loud and {{Wangst}}y [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd9OhYroLN0 Crawling]] from ''Music/LinkinPark'']].
** Done in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eionH4HdkW8 "final" reboot rip]], where the singer of the DK Rap tells fans of Snow Halation to shoot themselves in the middle of the song.
* MythologyGag:
** [=SiIvaGunner=], obviously referencing the original [=SilvaGunner=] channel.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxsM_sa9VHM Snowmobile Accident]] may initially seem out of place unless you look at the real [=GilvaSunner's=] channel, where he has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjfLyAwea3c an almost identical video,]] which instead uses the Slider theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zcHtIki1nA Gerudo Valley]] from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros for Wii U and 3DS'' shows Diddy Kong for less than a second before switching to Link, a reference to [=GilvaSunner's=] video of the original song.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOFp2SAXONc Beta Mix]] of "A Secret Course" from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' had a screenshot of the game's title screen fade in from white at the beginning of the video, much like most of the real [=GilvaSunner=]'s music uploads for the same game.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DR84FKZlVo Director's Cut]] of ''The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy''[='=]s title theme is actually just ([[SurpriseCreepy at least, mostly]]) the audio of the opening scene of "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E12MargeVsTheMonorail Marge Vs. the Monorail]]" from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', where Homer reenacts the opening of ''The Flintstones'', playing with the premise of the channel's reboot.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDjUGhaP3U0 Beta Mix]] of Bowser's Theme, despite being part of the reboot, uses the Flinstones theme song, because the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTtA33u7yw0&index=14&list=PLL0CQjrcN8D2GKbqapABe1mpDWysh9MiW pre-reboot upload]] of Bowser's Theme used the Simpsons theme song.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU9kadmvj9w The "Map" rip]] from ''[[Franchise/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck: Fowl Play]]'' features Daffy exclaiming, "Not 'GO MY WAY!!', you [=SoundClown=]!"
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 announcement of the channel ending]] was done in the style of a "the nutshack theme but X" video, which became [[MemeticMutation extremely widespread on YouTube]] after ''The Nutshack'' become popular on the channel.
* NamesTheSame: {{Invoked}} a few times for the sake of the joke. For instance, ''VideoGame/EarthBound''[='=]s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8xk05oQDgI "Sanctuary Guardian"]] is a straightforward, completely unedited rip of the original "Sanctuary Guardian"... from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The cause of the ContinuityReboot? [[spoiler:Chad Warden telling [=SiIva=] fans not to dislike-bomb Snow Halation rips, leading them into a discourse.]]
** Also the reason the voice returns for the Christmas Finale? [[spoiler:The user base kept him alive by thinking about him, as that is how figments stay alive.]]
* NonIndicativeName: Sometimes the rips don't play the song suggested in their titles at all, not even at the beginning in order to kickstart the BaitAndSwitch. For example, in "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbeU63L_QTM Bob-omb Battlefield (Extended Mix) - Super Mario 64]]", while the song ''does'' sound like it could come from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', at no point does it actually resemble "Bob-omb Battlefield" at all.
* OminousVisualGlitch: The thumbnail for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN7ptE55rV4 this video]] counts.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Voice Inside Your Head is only known as such, since he believes [[NoNeedForNames names are not important]]. He only provides the nickname to Chad Warden for sake of being addressed by someone.
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:What happened to The Voice after being destroyed by Chad at the end of the reboot arc. While he ''died'', the idea of him was preserved through Wood Man, thus enabling him to return in the future.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** After the infamous "Harlequin Baby Incident"[[labelnote:*]]A video of the puzzle room music from ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' had been uploaded, and contained a tasteless pastiche of the continue and GameOver screens for a Russian bootleg ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' game for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis; instead of a gory picture of Felix, however, the viewers were linked to a shock video of a [[{{Squick}} harlequin baby]] screaming.[[/labelnote]], [=SiIva=] actually broke character in order to properly apologize to their fans, explain that the now-deleted video was uploaded by one now-fired contributor without permission from the rest of the group, and that tasteless shock humor like that is not supposed to be part of the channel's directive.
** The channel's actual ending not only features the first contributor (Chaze the Chat) showing his face for the first time on the channel, but also has a number of subtler clues (for one, the title rather directly says the channel is ending - something none of the {{Series Fauxnale}}s did - and the description is simply a reiteration of [=SiIva=]'s CatchPhrase). This was presumably necessary after the repeated fake-outs.
* OrwellianRetcon:
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai1j-z0TghQ P-R-O-G-R-A-M]] rip was originally titled "P-R-O-G-R-A-M (OST Version)", as there was another rip of the song that already had the name that functioned as the channel's trailer. After the newer rip became the channel trailer out of fan demand, the "OST Version" subtitle was removed from the video, and the original "P-R-O-G-R-A-M" rip was labelled the "Alternate Mix".
** Volume 6.66 of the "Highest Quality Video Game Rips" album series was updated to add four new tracks[[note]]"Money Waterfalls" by digboy, "Psytales - The Gangnam Moon" by RosalinaSama, "KK Gotye" by digboy, and "Pursuit ~ Planet Wisp" by Wendyfag[[/note]] and rename a number of others.[[note]]"Metroids at an Exhibition" was originally titled "Tourian Mussorgsky", "I'm Proud To Be An American - Cover by Hank Hill (FNAF Circus Mix)" was originally titled "(ASMR) Hank Hill whispers softly into your ear while recording his country album", "Don't Hug Me I'm Stylish: Notebook Brainwashes The Kids Into Triple-Q's Creepy Gangnam Cult (FNAF Music Box Mix)" was originally titled "What's Your Favorite Style?", "ninelie" was originally titled "ninelie <8bitv>", "Pachelbel's Arm Cannon in D" was originally titled "Metroid Ending, as composed by Pachelbel", "Wario Ruins The Norfair Music From NES Metroid" was originally titled "TOO BAD, METROID TIME!", "Funky Kong's Spooky Ectoplasm Blaster Store" was originally titled "Danny Funkton", "Super Kirby Bros.: Melee in Dreamland" was originally titled "Kirby sucks in this game so it isn't even worth playing", "Soulja Boy cranks so hard he literally goes back in time" was originally titled "Cranko Trigger", "[=aLIEz=]" was originally titled "[=aLIEz=] <g5v>", "The Mad Convoy Race out of Pepsi City" was originally titled "Pepsi Man Adventure 2", and "ninelie (Instrumental)" was originally titled "ninelie <8bitv> (Instrumental)". Many of these renamed songs were done by ingx24, with the exception of the "ninelie" tracks, which was made by Stella ♥, and the Soulja Boy/Chrono Trigger track, which was made by Avolience.[[/note]] In addition, three early tracks were moved to later in the album[[note]]"A Gay Old Time with Kzinssie" was #13, "DAD DAD DAD【バインソース X あぅ あぅ あぅ】" was #25, and "Memory of cocoa butter kisses" was #27.[[/note]], and "Quest to the Tower of Emblems and Adventures and Time Keys" corrected the "[=QTQTQk=]" mispelling of QTQTQ's name.%%Apparently, according to the update announcement trailer, one of the tracks was glitched before the update. Which track was it, and how was it glitched?
* OutOfCharacterMoment: As acknowledged by its description, ''Stagg Street Arrangements'' strays from the channel's video game-focused content. It's a cover album where the songs are done InTheStyleOf of certain games, such as Namco's arcade chip and Pokémon soundfonts. The final track, "Everyday Goodbyes", is a live cover, but it incorporates "The Flintstones" and "Snow halation" into its instrumental.
* OverlyLongGag:
** One common edit is to loop the song's intro for the entire video. Fans of it have referred to this as "musical blue balls".
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqIOXMu2QrY Nightmare]]" from ''VideoGame/YumeNikki'' is essentially a 16-minute, audio-only walkthrough of how to trigger the infamous "Uboa" event (where the track plays in-game). [[spoiler:At the end, when the event is finally triggered, the track is pitch-shifted to "GO MY WAY!!". To add further insult to injury, speeding up the ending reveals a sound clip of WebVideo/FilthyFrank saying, "You just got pranked, bro! Ha ha!"]]
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvhi_z35-l4 Level 1 (Desert Bus)]]'' from ''VideoGame/PennAndTellersSmokeAndMirrors'' contains ''the entire 8 hours'', while ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2qsBTGwu9M Beloved Tomboyish Girl (Extended Mix)]]'' from [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Touhou 6]] features a paulstretch that lasts '''''[[InJoke 9:09:09]]'''''. [[spoiler:In both videos, ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'' theme plays at the 7 hour mark.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7LGgB5hBMQ The extended]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIH_OZ13M6o version]] of "Cave Dungeon" from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', when combined are '''over 12 hours''' long. [[spoiler:They are extremely slowed down versions of the song building up speed for 12 hours until it returns to the normal speed.]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-s_LnGYtzw BIG (Extended Mix)]]" from ''VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper 2'' goes through its first two verses entirely unedited; the joke doesn't kick in until the third.
** The rip of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhEAazYMdwM pause menu jingle]] from ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'' is '''50 minutes''' long, featuring [[spoiler:well over a hundred different jokes, memes, and references. A number of brave commenters took it upon themselves to try to document every joke in the video, and still are not sure whether they have succeeded]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orF1BhxulxM Mega Man 3's Stage Select rip]] takes it [[UpToEleven up a step with a 1 HOUR AND 50 MINUTE MIX]]
* OverlyPrepreparedGag: On September 15th, 2016 (the 1st anniversary of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}''[='=]s release), Silva uploaded nothing but ''Franchise/{{Mother}}''-related rips. This went on for almost twenty-four hours, seemingly culminating with an actual ''Undertale'' "Megalovania" rip that's intentionally underwhelming. But then, thirty minutes later, along comes the simultaneous release of '''39''' ''Undertale''-related rips -- the single biggest release in the channel's history!
* PaintingTheMedium:
** "anouncement.wmv", a video imitating the style of early [=YouTube=], has a broken thumbnail.
** "The Voice" behind the reboot occasionally types in an ｏｍｉｎｏｕｓ ｆｏｎｔ when he takes control, as seen in [[https://twitter.com/GiIvaSunner/status/747976678811537408 these]] [[https://twitter.com/GiIvaSunner/status/747976703239127040 tweets]]．
* {{Pastiche}}: The video announcing his AprilFoolsDay album, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqza7KD5jYc anouncement.wmv]]'', imitates the style of countless [[StylisticSuck poorly-made]] tutorial Website/YouTube videos from the mid-to-late 2000s (including a mashup of several once-popular songs from the era to boot, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WPCLda_erI Dreamscape]] by 0009 Sound System and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04F4xlWSFh0 Bodies]] by Drowning Pool.)
* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:What "Snow Halation" ultimately represents to [=SiIva=] and the fans who love it, according to Chad Warden. He also ends the war between him and the Voice Inside Your Head by using the ultimate form of [=YouTube=] love: the MF Like Button. This ultimately kills both the Voice and Chad.]]
* PowerTrio: [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Grand Dad]], [[Franchise/LoveLive Snow Halation]] (usually represented by Nozomi or Nico), and [[TheImmodestOrgasm Loud Nigra]]. As of late, Loud Nigra has been replaced by [[WesternAnimation/TheNutshack Tito Dick]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:R-Z]]
* ReadTheFreakingManual: For rips, the description will say "Please read [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ecwl3FTG66jIKA9JRDtmg/about the channel description]]" at the bottom.
* RealTrailerFakeMovie: Crosses over with FictionalVideoGame in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTBnJ3wqtZ0 this video]], a pastiche of the reveal trailer for ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' depicting a similarly updated version of ''7 Grand Dad''. It's lampshaded in the fine print at the very end, which remarks that it "won't come out, [[ShrugOfGod probably]]." [[https://twitter.com/NathanMM102/status/791048827935404032 Then it was announced]] [[SubvertedTrope to be real.]]
* RedHerring: There's a playlist for ''[[VideoGame/HalfLife Half-Life 3]]'' on the channel. All [[Memes/ValveSoftware three]] of its videos are private.
* ReferenceOverdosed: Trying to list all of the different references, musical or otherwise, that are put into his videos would take up most of the page. Sometimes even a single video will qualify. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSR9lupZVNo This "high quality rip"]] of the [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf battle theme]] in particular is loaded with them. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhEAazYMdwM Pause Screen]] from ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'' [[UpToEleven goes a million steps further]] by being ''50 minutes'' worth of Wario nyah-nyah-ing to the melody of ''hundreds'' of different songs.
* {{Retraux}}: Any rip [[InTheStyleOf in the style of]] a song from the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 or an earlier system could be considered this.
* TheReveal: In ''[[GameMod Pokémon Grand Dad Edition]]'' (which part of the reboot finale ARG), the Voice Inside Your Head confesses upon defeat that despite his previous claims, he doesn't really care about what [=YouTube=] commenters think, and that he was just a pawn of something much worse.
-->'''Voice:'''\\
A vitriolic... thing. It wreaks its revenge upon the world.\\
Or so I think. Truthfully, I don't know what drives it.\\
But it is determined.\\
Vile and incomprehensible beyond words.\\
It channels an ancient evil within it. Can be held accountable for all that is wrong with... everything, really.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: [[spoiler:Chad Warden is the only person unaffected by the High Quality Reboot, which throws a wrench in The Voice Inside Your Head's plans.]]
* RousingSpeech: [[spoiler:Chad Warden]], of all people, delivers one in the [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B8ADYhE_ms "true ending"]] of the reboot]]:
-->[[spoiler:'''Chad''':]] While I can't stop hate, I can sure as hell [[ThePowerOfLove encourage love.]]
* RunningGag: [[RunningGag/GiIvaSunner See here for a list of them]].
* RunningGagged:
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q This video]] appears to do this to "Snow halation", where "HALATION.SYS" causes a problem, forcing the channel to be shut down and rebooted in High Quality mode.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFyDJsjJkvM "Destruction of the Sammer Kingdom"]] sees the apparent end of ''The Simpsons'', a staple of the High Quality Reboot.
** The Green de la Bean meme was scrubbed from the channel after one of them received a takedown for Community Guideline Violations.
* SelfDeprecation:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU9kadmvj9w This rip]] of "[[Franchise/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck: Fowl Play]]"'s Map music. Basically, it's [[spoiler:the reboot]] a la ''WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va3Z3LG9D0M "Time for the Climax!"]] from ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta 2}}'' has the rip cut short with an issued apology for being a "low quality rip." Likely because it makes an ''incredibly'' obvious joke, [[spoiler:that being Loud Nigra.]]
* SeriesFauxnale:
** On March 30th, right after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNnqzjb6sT0 the announcement]] of his first album, [=SiIva=] uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu2EJUWBpjE a rip]] of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} "Last Goodbye"]], then proceeded to not upload anything for the entire rest of the day. Many assumed it was the end of the channel (as the video's title and production values implied); however, he made a grand comeback on AprilFoolsDay.
** Then his channel got taken down the next week, causing many to fear that [=SiIva=] was gone for good...until he announced on Twitter that he would be coming back.
** History repeated itself on May 30th, when [=SiIva=] revealed another GreatestHitsAlbum and proceeded to reupload "Last Goodbye", upload a new rip of "Good Night" (combined with "Goodbye to a World", which includes lyrics about saying goodbye)... then not uploading anything for several days. However, on June 7th, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aedxO20HOsw he released a video]] announcing the release of "The All New... [=SiivaGunner=]... [[spoiler:PACHINKO MACHINE]]!" He then went back to uploading videos.
* SensoryAbuse:
** Occasionally used, particularly whenever [[Memes/SonicTheHedgehog Sanic]] turns up.
** Ironically, rips featuring Loud Nigra only ''sometimes'' fit this trope.
** In a less traditional sense, the [=Koriball2=] stream fit the bill - it was composed of several songs (some altered, some not) playing over each other, with no attempt to make them harmonize. Predictably, [[https://soundcloud.com/djfruitsnackz/under-pac the results]][[note]]The link is only a fragment of the whole stream.[[/note]] sound terrible.
** Rips featuring the "You Just Got Beaned" meme fit this trope, sometimes in more ways than one.
* ShoutOut:
** A very special instance: [[spoiler: the TrueEnding of the reboot]] is entitled "Melody of the Heart", which is not only a translated lyric from Snow Halation, but is also the title of the ''Anime/LoveLive'' anime episode that features Snow Halation.
*** [[spoiler: Chad Warden's lines during his HeroicSacrifice]] reflect [[spoiler: Kittan's]] from Anime/GurrenLagann.

** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHbeOq5sdlo Think Music]] rip from the ''Series/FamilyFeud'' SNES game is a huge one to [=TASVideos=], specifically [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPuOFrpiboM this video]].
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2pqEvP322w Alpha Mix]] of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' Underground theme plays the ''Series/PeterGunn'' theme and eventually transitions to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" from ''Disney/TheLionKing''. This is an obscure reference to a sequence in ''Disney/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'' where the music keeps switching between these two tracks during Timon and Pumbaa's attempts to stop Simba from falling in love with Nala.
* SiameseTwinSongs: The Flintstones theme and "Snow Halation" are often featured back-to-back within the same rip.
** "[[KirbyPlanetRobobot Program Rhythm]]" (better known as "Puzzle Room") and the "Continue?" music from the Felix The Cat bootleg. When they both appear in a rip, they're treated as a single reference/song rather than two. {{Downplayed}}, as the former usually appears on its own.
* StealthPun:
** He uploaded ''seven Grand'' Metropolis rips, and only the seventh was edited.
** Several other rips also make ''auditory'' puns, usually due to the titles' liberal use of ExactWords. For example, the rip of [[VideoGame/{{Shantae}} "We Love Burning Town"]] features the sounds of a literal burning town, and the rip of [[VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash "Prism City"]] has [[spoiler:the sound of paper being ripped.]]
** On certain holidays (and other specific dates), the channel uploads a bunch of songs that pertain to the holiday in question, often making a pun on the holiday's name. For example, on April 20th (also known as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/420 "4/20"]]) the channel uploaded a bunch of "rips" that included Music/SnoopDogg's infamous [[MemeticMutation "smoke weed everyday"]] song (among other songs about marijuana). On May 8th, Mother's Day, "rips" of ''VideoGame/{{Mother}}'' music were uploaded.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k2eMYz755U The "Positive Mix"]] of [[VideoGame/MrGimmick "Aporia"]] [[spoiler:is a rendition of both "Roundabout" and "Heart of the Sunrise", both songs by '''Music/{{Yes}}'''.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9shd2tujUmo "Nocturne of Shadow"]] from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' starts with said song, but after it finishes, it transitions into a remix of [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles "Big Arms"]], using ''Ocarina of Time'''s soundfont. Why? Because the "Big Arms" theme was also used as the theme of the Nocturne area in ''VideoGame/SonicChronicles''.
** The "[[Music/Maroon5 Maroon]] [[VideoGame/PokemonGO GO]]" rips seems like a blatant excuse to make Maroon 5 mashups under a FictionalVideoGame, but it's all clear why when you realize 'go' is ''five'' in Japanese.
* StylisticSuck:
** The channel itself is meant to be an [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of this; as Chaze the Chat explained [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 here]], he was one of many people who had grown sick of [=YouTube=] users churning out bad content while pretending to be Creator/LittleKuriboh, so Chaze eventually decided to create [=GiIvaSunner=] to bring unto [=YouTube=] an impersonator who actually produced ''good'' content for once.
** "anouncement.wmv" is made in the style of early [=YouTube=] videos, including the usage of Windows Movie Maker and Hypercam; the word "announcement" is even misspelled in the title!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5q9sKOF-ZU The "Alternate Mix"]] of [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} "Megalovania"]] is a terrible-sounding mashup with the ''Film/SpaceJam'' theme... [[spoiler:until 1:04, at which point the music turns into a Waters Of Megalovania mix that sounds much better (transitioning with an audio clip of WebVideo/FilthyFrank saying [[TrollingCreator "You just got pranked, bro!"]], no less).]]
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE6cZTw95MM Mr. Rental]] rip features a crudely-animated recreation of the Flintstones-themed LeadIn for an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67NzF1bL4IQ Menu - Garfield]] is not actually a song, but instead an [[StylisticSuck "animated"]] homage to a similarly-styled animation, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGbhJjXl9Rk Garfielf]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCc1wFrsJM4 Fountain of Dreams - Super Smash Bros. Melee]] lazily edits a multitude of the channel's running gags over the original song. [[SensoryAbuse At the same time.]]
* SuddenDownerEnding: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW8zG-1l6YU "The Grand Finale (Alternate Mix)"]] from ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'', one of the last rips before the true conclusion of the reboot, ended with all hope of the old gags returning dashed, with the community's actions having supposedly led to Chad Warden's death.
-->"[=SiIvaGunner=] is dead, and it's all because of you. It's all... because... [[YouBastard of you!]] You fucked up![[SubliminalSeduction pu dekcuf uoY !uoy fo-]]"
* SuperDeformed: "Smol Nozomi," while uncommonly seen on the channel proper, is almost always seen as the embodiment of [[Anime/LoveLive Snow Halation]] on the channel. "Smol" variants of other idols from the series have also been featured on rare occasions, most often on their respective birthdays.
* SyntheticVoiceActor: Siiva's "voice" is [=VoiceForge=]'s "Wiseguy" option. You may recognize it as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGbhJjXl9Rk Garfielf]], or from certain Website/GoAnimate videos.
** The above-mentioned ''Menu - Garfield'' video gives Grand Dad [=VoiceForge's "JerkFace"=] option in order to play the role of Jon to Siiva's Garfielf.
** [[spoiler:The Voice Inside Your Head uses [[http://www.naturalreaders.com/index.html UK Graham of NaturalReaders.com]].]]
** Mr. Rental's voice is provided by Microsoft Sam. Even in the ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' rips that give him SpeakingSimlish, it's rendered as Sam's infamous "soi soi soi" sound.
* TalkLikeAPirateDay: Referenced in September 19th, with Siiva changing his username and the overall channel to a pirate theme.
* TakeThat: [[TakeThat/GiIvaSunner Has enough for its own page.]]
* TakeThatAudience:
** After the comments section erupted into a war between people with [[VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Dedede]] and [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Peridot]] avatars (eventually ending in favor of the former), a StylisticSuck rip of Dedede's theme from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' was uploaded (and subsequently deleted, though you can find a mirror [[https://youtu.be/sUmE5VapmlM here]]).
** The entire ''JOEJOE'S BIZZAERE JOJOKE'' album is a jab at people requesting rips from ''[=JoJo=]'', most apparent with the way it was disguised as a proper album.
** Another jab at the comments section comes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5uWj6j1Vtg "Overworld"]] from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'', which consists of goofy text-to-speech voices reading off some of the dumber comments.
* {{Troll}}: What Gilva was before his pranks gained a fandom of their own.
* VillainBall: The Voice Inside Your Head [[spoiler:merges both the original and reboot universes without Snow Halation, then makes Chad his partner in running [=SiIvaGunner=] Enterprises. Unfortunatley for the Voice, Chad uses his new position to bring Snow Halation back himself.]]
* VisualPun: The cover of ''Greatest Hits Volume 3 & Knigra'' shows [=SiIva=]'s avatar ripping a piece of paper in half.
* WeCanRuleTogether: After the universes have merged, the Voice Inside Your Head offers Chad Warden to help guide the Grand New Era together as the Grandest Dads, a proposition Chad accepts. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a big mistake on the Voice's part.]]
* WelcomeToCorneria: [=SiIva's=] usual response to comments that question his (high-quality) rips: "I only upload high quality video game rips."
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Voice Inside Your Head. [[spoiler:He booby trapped the High Quality Ripping software [=SiIva=] bought from the Nigra store so that he could initiate the High Quality Reboot. He did this to create a universe devoid of the infighting Chad Warden started concerning the act of dislike bombing "Snow Halation" rips. Later, he offers Chad the return of all the channel's old memes at the cost of the removal of Snow Halation to prevent further discourse, with Chad ultimately accepting, and keeps true to his word, even allowing Chad to join him]].
** [[spoiler:Although his position as a well-intentioned extremist hasn't changed, it's revealed that the Voice ultimately wasn't the cause of the reboot in the Pokemon [[GameMod rom hack]], but he's been trying to protect the channel from a [[GreaterScopeVillain bigger threat]] that ''did'' cause the reboot]].
* WhamEpisode:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywwcZn5bp1Q This "Snow halation" rip]], which ended up starting the ContinuityReboot and initiating the channel's first plotline. (Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK6KfWVuT3I this rip]] hammers in that [=SiIva=] is NotHimself, since it takes [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wXW_ex5Nvs a Flintstones remix]] and replaces it with ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN7ptE55rV4 This video]], which finally elaborates on what happened to [=SiIva=] and reveals that ''someone'' was behind it.
** A stream held on August 14th, 2016 had [=SiIvaGunner=] declare that mashups are no longer considered high quality, accompanied by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3xt7QbSSI a video of Mr. Rental going on a rampage against mashups]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuFYGf_yKY8 "the nutshack theme but the first nutshack is replaced with me ending the channel"]], the video that confirmed that [=SiIvaGunner=] was coming to a close.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SCKrU75WCw Prologue - The SilvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis]]. A pyramid headed figure [[spoiler: breaks into SiIva's home, uploads something onto his computer allowing him to create robots, creates a futuristic city, destroys a ship with Grand Dad, Nigra, and Meta Knight, and captures every meme except Nozomi.]] The person responsible for this? [[spoiler: '''THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD''']]
* WhamLine:
** Halfway through [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6j-SpK5SvU This video]], [[spoiler: The Voice Inside Your Head proposes a MergedReality with memes from both before and after the reboot, and the video appears to be the end of the reboot (especially since The Voice admits he's getting tired of the current universe and starting to miss the old one)... until The Voice reveals that this new reality [[RunningGagged will exclude Snow Halation.]]]]
** "Hahahahaha... I'm back." [[spoiler: The Voice In Your Head [[HesBack is back]]]]
* WhoWritesThisCrap: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7CphXr0VZE DK Rap (Reprise)]] ends on this note.
--> [[spoiler:"What the fuck? I have not seen ''Film/SilenceOfTheLambs''. This joke isn't funny. Just bring back Grand Dad."]]
* WrapItUp: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVS5wsXyOxs Behind the Scenes - Mr Rental: The Video Game]], posted after the channel's end, serves to tie up a major loose end in the channel's lore.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShrBo0ObYgA Level Theme 1 - The Flintstones: Burgertime in Bedrock]], [=SiIva=] pops in briefly to clear a few misconceptions; mainly, using the word "soundfont" in reference to consoles that use ''synthesizers'', such as the NES, the SEGA Genesis, and the Game Boy.

'''[=GiIvaSunner=]''' (pronounced "gee-vuh-sun-nr"; note that the third letter is actually an uppercase "i" and not a lowercase "l") was a channel created by Chaze the Chat in January 2016. Designed after channels that posed as Creator/LittleKuriboh during the height of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''[='s=] popularity, the channel looks exactly like the real [=GilvaSunner=]'s, using the same avatar, channel header image, and channel description, for the most part. [[CaptainObvious The channel's name also looks just like [=GilvaSunner=]'s in a sans-serif font]]. Soon after the channel's inception, a number of other people expressed interest in contributing, and a small team was created to help Chaze run the channel. History repeated itself when the channel was taken down four months into its run, and [=GiIvaSunner=] was forced to start fresh with a new channel, rebranding himself '''[[MythologyGag SiIvaGunner]]''' (pronounced "see-vuh-gun-nr"; the "l" is still an uppercase "i"). For a while, SiIvaGunner channel also stopped uploading videos, but not in fear of a third copyright takedown, but because he wants some sleep. Until he starts sleepposting. The channel was eventually taken over by [[BigBad The Voice]], who regularly uploads videos.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1JlIbQeSR0 Theme of Friends]] from ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'' is "I'll Be There For You". In other words, it is indeed the Theme of {{Series/Friends}}.

** The [[Music/Maroon5 Maroon]] [[VideoGame/PokemonGO GO]] rips seems like a blatant excuse to make Maroon 5 mashups under a FictionalVideoGame, but it's all clear why when you realize 'go' is ''five'' in Japanese.

The channel proper has briefly returned for holiday specials, so far Halloween 2016 (belatedly) and Christmas 2016 ([[ScheduleSlip which is still going on]]). In February 15, the channel "paused" uploading after [[https://youtu.be/soz_9Ca2h4I this rip]] was posted, now waiting for things to come.

** A similar thing is done for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUToXCFd0KM A Critical Battle]] from ''[[VideoGame/AngryVideoGameNerdAdventures AVGN Adventures 2: ASSimilation]]'', poking fun at the shortness of the mid-boss battles.

In addition, after being foreshadowed by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTBnJ3wqtZ0 one of the aforementioned ending rips]], an official game was announced - ''VideoGame/GrandDadMania'', an updated version of the original bootleg in the style of ''VideoGame/SonicMania''.

* [[https://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/album/zero-grand-prix Zero Grand Prix]]; music from VideoGame/FZero. (April 2nd, 2017)

* {{Retraux}}: Any rip [[InTheStyleOf in the style of]] a song from the Nintendo64 or an earlier system could be considered this.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOB3ibvOwpI The OST version rip]] of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain "Sins of the Father]]" was uploaded on the day the parallel universe storyline was suppsoed to officially come to an end. The last seven seconds of the rip has the video glitching out and cutting to black, with the last thing heard being a familiar voice saying [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} "Let's check it out."]]

* BizarroEpisode: The [[spoiler:fake]] finale of The Christmas Comeback Crisis, which feature Waluigi and the Bean running a taco stand, Waluigi causing a portal to appear by putting [[CordonBleughChef garlic on tacos]], and Wario apparently living on the streets after Waluigi kicked him out.

* AbortedArc: The storyline about Mr. Rental's crusade against mashups began with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI3xt7QbSSI Options]] rip, and escalated from there, until rips on the topic abruptly stopped. This is because the creator of the arc stopped feeling like continuing, [[NoEnding and just left it unfinished.]]

He is most well-known for [[InTheStyleOf replacing a song's melody]] with the ThemeTune for ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', which is in reference to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF-xdiL7Nr0 this]] WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} video. ''[[Franchise/LoveLive Snow Halation]]'' and the intro to ''[[WesternAnimation/TheNutshack The Nutshack]]'' are also recurring themes. Alongside the melody-swaps it is known for, many uploads will be {{Sampling}} or are {{AwesomeMusic/Mashups}}, allowing pretty much anything that just happens to fit the original melody or make a pun on the title. All of these edits are contributed by a group of mashup artists on [=SoundCloud=] known as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/soundclown SoundClown]].
