* AwesomeButImpractical: This is a running theme in Jobby's review for [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers MP-45 Bumblebee]], which aims for a robot mode with cartoon-accurate proportions and a super-deformed Volkswagen Beetle mode with opening doors. As the gimmick for said doors requires them to be hinged to what become the back of the robot mode's feet and can't completely hide away, the end result is what Jobby describes as "foot backpacks". Additionally, the figure uses a fake car roof for the chest to get the right proportions in robot mode, meaning the real car roof has to try to fold up onto the back and results in a mess of KibblesAndBits.

* AccentuateTheNegative: Generally averted, as Jobby tries his best to point outs good qualities of toys he doesn't like (or toys from works that he doesn't like). This is best shown with Bold Forms Gladius, where he considers the cool design and solid gun mode (compared to the figure's fiddly transformation and tendency to fall apart) to be a sign than the line could have potential for creating great figures going forward.

He is very critical of MP-45 Bumblebee for not only shoving most of the car kibble onto the back (the figure uses a fake car roof for the chest, so the ''real'' car roof gets folded up onto his back in plain view), but also not having the back kibble tab in.

His videos are characterized by channel-wide {{Running Gag}}s, SurrealHumor, and lots and lots of CrossingTheLineTwice.



* AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles: Discussed in his review for Toys/{{Figma}} [[Manga/{{Guyver}} Guyver II F]], where he says that when he calls the ''Guyver'' anime he saw as a kid for adults, he doesn't mean tentacles, but that the anime the figure for the review is from ''does'' involve tentacles for the main character's TransformationSequence. He starts to show a clip from the anime where tentacles are about to wrap around the heroine before deciding that he will be demonetized for it, only to remember that the video's opening skit had him thrown his pants off (with his crotch pixelated) at the figure, so he shows a brief snippet (albeit with nothing NSFW being shown off) of her having the tentacles wrap around her.



* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Invoked for his review for Toys/{{Figma}} [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]], where he lists off several things that he knows the character for, putting lots of emphasis on [[RuleThirtyFour the copious amounts of porn drawn of the character]] and having her music be a side-mention.



* CompassionateCritic: Some of the model kits he reviews are built and sent to him by friends or fans, and Jobby likes to give advice on how the modelers can improve their future builds (albeit while still maintaining his [[RefugeInAudacity style of humor]]).



* SelfDeprecation: He likes to make fun of himself, often having some of his {{Take That}}s lampshade how they also apply to him. His review of the ''Toys/RobotSpirits'' [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Unicorn Gundam]] has him call the ''Robot Spirits'' line for people who "actually have a life to attend to" and don't have time to build model kits before reminding everyone that he builds model kits himself.



* ToughActToFollow: Invoked for his Bold Forms Gladius review, where he gets especially disappointed with the figure after comparing it to [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} the official Masterpiece MP-36 Megatron]], stating that he supports the creation of more Megatron figures, but adding that companies that don't try to top or learn from MP-36 shouldn't bother.



* WhoWritesThisCrap: In his Masterpiece WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron review, Creator/DavidKaye (yes, the David Kaye who voiced Megatron) was meant to end a line with Megatron gloating about obtaining the Golden Disk with "[[AssShove putitinmyass]]", but Kaye was left speechless before breaking character and saying that he "can't do it". This was brought up again at the end of the review.

* WhoWritesThisCrap: In his Masterpiece WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron review, Creator/DavidKaye (yes, the David Kaye who voiced Megatron) was meant to end a line with Megatron gloating about obtaining the Golden Disk with "[[AssShove putitinmyass]]", but Kaye was left speechless before breaking character and saying that he "can't do it".can't bring himself to read it.

->''"Hey, my name is Jobby, and today we're taking a look at TV Tropes!!"''

'''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/JobbytheHong/videos Jobby the Hong]]''' is a Website/YouTube channel [[VideoReviewShow focused on toy reviews]] from a wide range of franchises, including ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', and ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''. His videos are characterized by channel-wide {{Running Gag}}s, SurrealHumor, and lots and lots of CrossingTheLineTwice.

!!''Jobby the Hong'' provides examples of:
* AccentuateTheNegative: Generally averted, as Jobby tries his best to point outs good qualities of toys he doesn't like (or toys from works that he doesn't like). This is best shown with Bold Forms Gladius, where he considers the cool design and solid gun mode (compared to the figure's fiddly transformation and tendency to fall apart) to be a sign than the line could have potential for creating great figures going forward.
* AssShove: One of Jobby's running gags is to have a character or himself say "putitinmyass". He tried ([[WhoWritesThisCrap unsuccessfully]]) to get Creator/DavidKaye to say it during his Masterpiece WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron review.
* BlackComedy: Very common, such as both of his Toys/{{Figma}} [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] reviews featuring plenty of jokes about [[spoiler:her death by decapitation]].
* CatchPhrase:
** "Swivel here!"
** "Beautiful spread!"
** (''touches a sharp point on a figure'') "[[MinorInjuryOverreaction Oh shit!]]"
** "[[AssShove Putitinmyass]]"
* DistractedByTheSexy: Tends to fixate on attractive features of the characters the figures represent. [[StupidSexyFlanders This includes figures of male characters]].
* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: He mentions in his Toys/{{Figma}} Manga/{{Guyver}} review that he first saw the anime as a kid and was traumatized by the show's [[{{Gorn}} intense violence]], especially because he didn't know that animated shows could be so violent.
* OverusedRunningGag: He lampshades how much of a gigantic meme "[[CatchPhrase Swivel here]]" has become while usually also saying that [[HypocriticalHumor he will continue to use it]].
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Transformation segments use "royalty free jazz".
* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: The Toys/{{Figma}} [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Snow Miku]] he ordered ended up being one, as evidenced by how many of its joints were broken straight out of the package.
* SpecialGuest: His Masterpiece WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron review features voice clips from Creator/DavidKaye specifically recorded for the video.
* TakeThat:
** The Film/TransformersFilmSeries and by extension Creator/MichaelBay are on the receiving end of a lot of jokes, with Jobby poking fun at how he dislikes the films yet supports them by buying their [[MerchandiseDriven toys]] anyway.
** ''Youtube's'' copyright and demonetization policies tend to be mocked whenever Jobby gets an opportunity to do so.
* TakeThatAudience: He likes to mock his own viewers at times.
** The recurring character Franchise/{{Gundam}} Ghost is meant to poke fun at fans upset at him not being able to upload videos focusing on ''Gundam'' model kits anymore due to his work schedule.
** His [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Five Nights at Freddy's Nightmare Freddy Funko]] review has him mention that he doesn't like the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys fanbase, and then compares it with several other fandoms. The last one is ''his own'' fandom, complete with a WallOfText featuring [[OverusedRunningGag swivel memes]].
* VideoReviewShow: Focused on toys, although he tends to briefly dive into the source material before talking about the toys themselves, sometimes to say that he hasn't watched whatever media the figure comes from.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: In his Masterpiece WesternAnimation/BeastWars Megatron review, Creator/DavidKaye (yes, the David Kaye who voiced Megatron) was meant to end a line with Megatron gloating about obtaining the Golden Disk with "[[AssShove putitinmyass]]", but Kaye was left speechless before breaking character and saying that he "can't do it". This was brought up again at the end of the review.
