You know how ProtonJon is known for saying "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!"? Well these are the moments that make the viewers go "GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS!" Well, all three of them anyway...
Keep in mind:
- Sign your entries.
- One moment per work to a troper; if multiple entries for the same work are signed to the same troper, the more recent one(s) will be cut. For subpages that cover multiple works, it's permissible for one troper to have entries for more than one work.
- Moments only, no "just everything he said", "the entire episode", or "this entire work," entries.
- No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
- No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
- Explain why it's a
Dethroning Moment of Suck. - No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.
- Please no He Panned It, Now He Sucks!. Someone having a different opinion than you is not nearly a good enough justification for something being seen as stupid or offensive.
- Creator's works only. No moments on the author themselves or personal experience with them.
- fluffything: Although I am a fan of The Runaway Guys, I must admit their latest videos have been hit-n-miss in terms of quality. However, that's not my DMOS. No, my DMOS regarding them takes place in Part 1 of their Fortune Street Delfino Plaza video guest-starring Super Jeenius. In the video, Jon makes a reference to Game Grumps, prompting Chuggaa to complain "But they suck!". Now, my issue isn't that Chuggaa doesn't like them. I get that not everyone is a fan. No, the reason why I consider this a DMOS is just how utterly whiny Chuggaa sounds when he says it. Rather than making a witty Take That! towards them or simply choosing to ignore the reference, he opts to whine like a bratty teenager. It's just immature and annoying. Chuggaa has been abnormally obnoxious due to his loudness, overuse of puns (and Pokemon references), and increased Jerkass behavior. But, this utter whininess towards another popular YouTube Let's Play group is, in my opinion, the absolute lowest point for him on The Runaway Guys.
- Doc Sharp: Chuggaa's impatience tends to be either hilarious or annoying. In part 5 of Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3, it was exceedingly annoying when Chuggaa wouldn't take the time to slow down and allow Jon to read the rules of the minigame they were going to play, and proceeding to instantly knock out Jon in the minigame proper, causing Jon to rightfully, not the slightest bit hilariously, explode with anger. It was definitely sweet on both their parts to reconcile immediately after Jon's Freak Out, sweeter still for Chuggaa to apologize in the comments section, but it is still a very painful part of the episode to watch.
- Shadow Da Hedgie: Chugga has caused many of these moments for me, but the one that stands out most at the moment is in the Fashion Plaza of Wii Party U. Chugga gets a good place in a minigame and is allowed to steal a piece of clothing. After spouting some ridiculous reason about Jon being a bigger threat, despite Jon being in last with 9 points, and Chugga in the lead with thirty, Chugga decides to steal Jon's shoes to complete his own set, while Jon is literally one space away from where he shows off his outfit, therefore having absolutely no way to get a pair of shoes back, which, in my opinion, is just a giant dick move. Some might compare this move to a move Jon pulled way, WAY back in Mario Party 2, where he stole a star from Chugga, but it's not really relevant, for several reasons. 1. Jon was in third, if I'm remembering right, and Chugga was in second, so he wasn't stealing from someone lower down than him. Although, admittedly, Chugga was in the lead in the Fashion Plaza and thus had no choice but to steal from someone below him, but could have still completed his outfit by stealing from the A.I. 2. That move actually won Jon the game, Chugga would have had one star more than him had he not done so, and he gave good reasons for doing it while he was stealing it, that being that Chugga was on his way to get another star, and had the coin star, which put Chugga at a total of 3 to the leader's (Tim) 2. And if you look at the results, you will see that Chugga would have still won quite comfortably without stealing Jon's shoes. It's just a huge dethroning moment for me, because, while it admittedly did make a little bit of sense, it was a totally unnecessary dick move, as opposed to when Jon has pulled similar moves, because they tend to win him the game, whereas in this case, Chugga was going to win anyway.
- Eternal Pride: Episode 26 of their Super Mario 3D World Let's Play. The group finally gets to the highly anticipated fight against Meowser, and what does Chugga do? Complain about the fight not being as good as he believes it should be for almost the entirety of the second phase. His complaints also include the autoscrolling being too slow, which is only an issue for him in the first place because he insists on charging ahead. Its okay to have your own opinions about the fight, but please at least wait until the fight is over so you don't spoil what was meant to be a climactic event!
- Trogdor 7620: I've been a big fan of the guys for a very long time, but I'm of the opinion that Mario Party 3 was one of the weakest projects, for a variety of reasons. However, none stick out so much as the Koopa Kard catastrophe. When Jon receives a Koopa Kard in a hidden block, Emile lands on an Item Space and grabs a Plunder Chest, hoping to steal it. That's not what irks me, because, come on, it's Mario Party, who wouldn't try to steal it? Emile then says to Jon "Use your Skeleton Key on the door", which he does, emptying his inventory and guaranteeing that Emile will steal the Kard. Come Emile's next turn, out comes the Plunder Chest, and Jon's Koopa Kard is now in Emile's hands. Again, that's not what irks me, because, again, it's Mario Party. What DOES irk me is Emile stating "By the time you'd done it, it was too late to give you advice otherwise". I, personally, have a very hard time believing that. There was 18 seconds between Emile suggesting that Jon open the door, and him actually doing it, more than enough time to warn him about what was about to happen. At this point, in my opinion, Emile seems to have just been unnecessarily kicking Jon while he was down.
- K-Star 700: First thing that comes to mind in terms of a DMOS that hasn't been listed is more directed at Emile specifically (although Jon is a little responsible for one small problem): Kirby Star Allies Episode 18 - Not So Helpful Waddle Dee. This episode is notable for Emile trashing on Bandana Waddle Dee for the pettiest of reasons: disagreeing with Kirby fans for wanting him to be Promoted to Playable in Super Smash Bros.. Jon, despite only seeing him viable as an Assist Trophy for starters, at least defends him by turning the "Hat Goomba" allegations on its head, but the DMOS doesn't come from Emile's differing opinion. No, it comes from his incompitence on failing to switch Waddle Dee's element from ice to fire. HE'S the one who had to trigger the mechanic since he was the only fire elemental in the group (Magolor with the revolving fireballs), but he's so impatient and condescending that he doesn't realize this and blames it on the AI, and the way he words it makes it sound like he's blaming it on Waddle Dee in particular. Unfortunately, Jon is stuck in a loop as well, not realizing the oversight either, and gives up by switching the AI to Jammerjab.Emile: See, this is why you shouldn't be in Super Smash Bros..!
