1[[https://www.youtube.com/user/jayuzumi Jayuzumi]], real name Jay Trott, is an English LetsPlay video maker. His best known content revolves around using soundboards, in a series formerly called "The Celeb Gamer", although the name has since been dropped in favour of simply "X Plays A Game". Unlike most other Lets Players, a lot of his content focuses on being a {{Troll}} to other players and strangers, albeit mostly in good fun; most of the humour comes from people that don't get the joke, or funny soundboard phrases being played at good times. He also does prank calls, although they are less well known. While Jay is hardly the only Youtuber to do this, he is one of the better-known channels in this regard.

5!!This gamer provides examples of:
6
7* AccidentalMisnaming: Some people find it difficult to pronounce his name, with "cider dude" calling him "Micuzumay" in the middle of an angry rant.
8* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Some of the players he runs into, while getting annoyed at the soundboards in general, will acknowledge if he does a good joke, even if they're the butt of it.
9** During "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]] Plays ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts COD Ghosts]]''", viewable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk0eD0GRpf8 here]].
10-->'''Other player:''' You might possibly have too much time on your hands. [[YouNeedToGetLaid You might want to get a girlfriend]].
11-->'''Homer Simpson:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes, master!]]
12-->'''Other player:''' (starts laughing)
13** In "Jay from ''[[Series/TheInbetweeners Inbetweeners]]'' Plays ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare 3''", viewable [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubWNEUdhUOo here]], a player calls in a care package and goes into a corner to make sure he doesn't get crushed by it. Jay ''immediately'' rams him in and gets joined by another player, causing all three to be crushed. The player who loses his care package and dies is laughing like a hyena, as opposed to raging like you'd expect.
14* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Given how "cider dude" made up most of "Bad Violin Trolling", he was quite possibly plastered.
15* BlackComedyRape: The episode based off Jay from ''Series/TheInbetweeners'' used soundclips to refer to this.
16* BunnyEarsLawyer: Jay may be an utter troll, but he is very good at video games.
17* CombatPragmatist: When not trying to troll, Jayuzumi is ruthless.
18* DiggingYourselfDeeper: In "Bad Violin Trolling", "cider dude"'s constantly angry attitude and shouting for Jay to shut up just made him continue.
19* DisproportionateRetribution: Discussed without a hint of irony in "Crying Baby". After the noise keeps playing, some of the (teenage) people playing start commenting about how they want to kill the baby or smack it really hard. While there is some degree of ambiguity as to whether or not they'd do it for real, it's still slightly chilling.
20* DreadfulMusician: "Bad Violin Trolling" forces the other players to put up with this.
21* EpicFail: Lots, mostly from the other players.
22** While a lot of Jay's failures are deliberate, he has, on occasion, screwed up genuinely. An example would be in "Cleveland Brown Plays ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts''", where he successfully manages to massacre most of an enemy team... and then falls to his death.
23** Most of the players that get stuck in corners really aren't paying attention.
24* EvilLaugh: "Arnold Schwarzenegger Plays Black Ops" uses this after Jayuzumi gets multiple cross-map tomohawk kills.
25* TheHyena: Most of the people that get the joke start laughing their heads off.
26* HypocriticalHumour:
27** The "Bart Simpson" episode had a child tell Bart "shut up, you're so squeaky". Said child had clearly not gone through puberty himself, and it really shows.
28** It happens again in "''Franchise/DespicableMe'' Minions Play ''Ghosts''" after a kid accuses Jayuzumi of being four years old- again, with the kid being younger than 18 (the legal age to buy ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts'' in the UK).
29* InsaneTrollLogic: The first victim of "Bad Violin Trolling" chose not to mute Jay, instead choosing to report him, which took longer and left him listening to the abuse for longer. He did this because he believed that the complaint would go straight to Microsoft's offices and get him banned ''instantly''. Really, dude?
30* {{Irony}}: During "Bad Violin Trolling", a player accuses Jay of being unable to play ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts'' and having given up. During this time, Jay has amassed a rather large kill streak.
31* IShallTauntYou: The soundboards are used for this purpose quite a lot.
32* PayEvilUntoEvil: Some of the people being trolled ''really'' have it coming. Most of his targets are poor sports, campers, rude keyboard warriors, and in some extreme cases outright racists / religious bigots. Homophobic people are often victims of his pranks as well.
33* PrankCall: Some of his lesser known videos, again using soundboards. They now make up a larger chunk of his content, which fits since he started out that way.
34* SeriousBusiness: Generally, Jay runs into gamers with this mentality a lot, albeit moreso in ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' than in ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}''.
35* SilentSnarker: Jay never says a word, but the soundboards allow him to snark at other players indirectly.
36* SuicideAsComedy: Mainly as a result of YetAnotherStupidDeath.
37* {{Troll}}: Makes up a significant amount of his content, both in-game and out.
38* UnfazedEveryman: While many people can't take the joke, some people have virtually no reaction to a fictional character pranking them, such as when [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2kxEgBFhLU&list=UU7vnNBIll_iWj31Yx55Ko2A#t=128 calls them up and spoofs]] the ''Film/{{Taken}}'' speech.
39-->'''Leisure Games:''' (after having listened to the rant) I'll take the watch, thanks.
40* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: If you're an enemy and you get killed, you'll likely be on the receiving end of this.
41* TheVoiceless: PlayedWith. Jay does not speak himself, but uses the soundboards to circumnavigate this.
