*** The same video, the Ninja is showcased by the character Tac from the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games. As well, the attacks "Fuma Shuriken", "Katon", "Hyoton", "Huton" as [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles "tmnt"]], [[Literature/{{Slayers}} "Lina Inverse"]], [[Franchise/IceAge "ice age"]] and [[ComicBook/TheFlash "flash"]].

* TierInducedScrappy[[invoked]]: [=JoCrap=] describes rangers as low-tier scrappies in ''D&D'', painting them as someone who is [[MasterOfNone a blend of a fighter, druid, and rogue, but without any of the effectiveness of those classes]] and [[CripplingOverspecialization balanced around overly specific conditions]].

** In the "Ranged DPS" video for ''Final Fantasy XIV'', the Bard song buffs are represented by various anime theme songs: "[[Anime/CowboyBebop Tank!]]", "[[Literature/LogHorizon Database]]", "[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Butterfly]]", "[[Manga/JoJosBizzareAdventure Bloody Stream]]" and "[[Manga/MobPsycho100 99]]".

** In "A Crap Guide to D&D: Druid" [=JoCrap=] mentions how terrifying Druid gets later in the game and then a [[BreathWeapon Fire-Breathing]] seagull with a [[MoreDakka minigun [=attached to its back=]]] [[BewareMyStingerTail with [=a scorpion tail=]]] appears on screen the same chimera appears later in the Alignment video when talking about Good/Evil alignments

* RandomEffectSpell: A portion of the ''Crap Guide'' to Sorcerers is devoted to exploring ''D&D'''s WildMagic, depicted as a wheel of spells which ends up going for a while after [=JoCrap=] spins it too hard. [[BrickJoke By the episode's end]], the wheel finally stops and [[ForcedTransformation turns him into a potted plant]]. ([[AluminumChristmasTrees Which is indeed a real potential outcome of Wild Magic in 5e]]). The episode ends with the still-planted [=JoCrap=] just staring at the screen instead of moving his head.

[=JoCat=] also streams on Twitch, and occasionally posts edited versions of certain streams on his main channel, initially called "J-Overly Edited", they're now referred to as "Stream Highlights". He also does "Character Creator Critique"s, in which he picks apart different character creators in various games, and he has a video essay on ''Klonoa 2''. He has also ran two different tabletop campaigns set in a shared setting: ''WebVideo/BelkinusNecroHunt'' and ''WebVideo/TheGoldenCay'', with a third one, ''WebVideoHeartOfElynthi'', currently running.

* KnightlySwordAndShield: The WeaponOfChoice for [=JoCrap=], to the point where [=JoCrap=] believes that a paladin who doesn't use a sword and shield is "[[BigStupidDoodooHead a big smelly doodoo head]]". In a separate video, [=JoCrap=] is seen [[CargoShip sleeping in bed with a sword and shield]]. He also spends the last ''Monster Hunter'' video on the sword and shield, where he gives it endless praise. Finally, the reason he says that the Paladin is the best tank class in ''Final Fantasy XIV'' is because it can use a sword and shield. [[invoked]]

([[AluminumChristmasTrees Which is indeed a real potential outcome of Wild Magic in 5e]]). The episode ends with the still-planted [=JoCrap=] just staring at the screen instead of moving his head.

'''[=JoCrap=]''': That may be true, however... ''(long {{beat}} [[OhCrap as he realizes his mistake]])'' ...anyways...

[=JoCat=] also streams on Twitch, and occasionally posts edited versions of certain streams on his main channel, initially called "J-Overly Edited", they're now referred to as "Stream Highlights". He also does "Character Creator Critique"s, in which he picks apart different character creators in various games, and he has a video essay on ''Klonoa 2''. On June 23, 2021, he also started running a weekly tabletop campaign, ''WebVideo/BelkinusNecroHunt''.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: [=JoCat=] is ''nothing'' like [=JoCrap=]. Whereas [=JoCrap=] is a CausticCritic, [=JoCat=] is rather kind and cordial when he plays or livestreams a game. Perhaps best exemplified at the beginning of the episode on CharacterAlignment, in which [=JoCat=] goes out of his way to point out the disclaimer at the beginning of the video that his videos are all in good fun. (Though it's also because the topic of alignment is FlameBait among longtime D&D players.)[[invoked]]

** In the [[https://youtu.be/NH2wDdYIMQU Spooky Slice]] video, which is a full version of a Monster Mash parody that was used in "A Crap Guide to FFXIV: Melee DPS" for the Reaper class, the voice of Zenos was Luke-Allen Gale. Otherwise known as the actual english voice actor for Zenos.

* TheArtifact: Even after ''A Crap Guide to VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' ended and the series started branching out into other games, [=JoCrap's=] look remained the same, decked out in ridiculous Hunter gear and worshiping his Sword and Shield. The only time it's ever changed is the Crap Guides to ''FFXIV'', in which [=JoCrap's=] head is replaced with an oversized chocobo mask for the in-game footage.

** Openly mocks the common "Human Fighter" phenomenon of D&D in ''A Crap Guide'', calling it the most bland possible option. The "character" he dreams up for it is literally named "John Fighterman" whose description is TheGenericGuy. However, [=JoCrap=] does this while also pointing out just how annoyingly ''good'' the class is, both in terms of combat and being insanely newbie-friendly.

* TheGenericGuy: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] for the Fighter: He's named John Fighterman, is a human, uses a sword, has almost no personality, etc. [[SubvertedTrope He was given a bit of development]] when Jo made Pride Month drawings revealing him as gay and showing him in a relationship with Hutrax, the wizard.

* HypocriticalHumor: In ''A Crap Guide to D&D: Dungeon Master'', [=JoCrap=] tells [[WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions Red and Blue]] to stop comparing his totally original campaign to tropes and historical events, or he'll sic the [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Light-grey Walkers]] on them.
