--->'''Proton Jon''', [[ComedicSociopathy suffering for his art]]
[[http://www.youtube.com/user/ProtonJonSA Proton Jon]] is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]], part of the original group of Video Let's Players from SomethingAwful. Like most of them, he created a YouTube account to host the videos he made. One day, he posted a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6pbz3ROvQ two]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCm9FYZhBA part]] LP of a level from ''KaizoMarioWorld''. It became a huge hit, and one of the seminal LP videos on YouTube.
Many [=LPers=], some of whom have become quite popular in their own right, [[PromotedFanboy list him as an inspiration]]. His commentary style alternates between [[DeadpanSnarker wry, witty commentary]] and [[BigWhat hysterical]], [[{{Angrish}} incomprehensible]] rambling, sometimes in the same sentence. [[FountainOfMemes Many]] of his unique turns of phrase have gone [[MemeticMutation viral]].
His most popular videos are his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' [[GameMod romhack]] [=LPs=] and his posts of ''SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' matches with his friends. Both of these are on indefinite hiatus, though he continues to LP other games.
He became a YouTube partner on October 18, 2010. Along with {{Chuggaaconroy}} and {{NintendoCapriSun}}, he is also part of a collaborative LP group known as TheRunawayGuys.
!! Proton Jon's Ongoing [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]]:
* ''[[{{Superman64}} Superman 64]]''
!!Games Proton Jon has [[LetsPlay Let's Played]]:
* ''NinjaGaiden'' (the entire trilogy)
* ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''
* Numerous [[GameMod romhacks]] of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''
** ''KaizoMarioWorld''
* ''KnyttStories''
* ''KirbySuperStar''
* ''SuperMetroid'' (actually a romhack, ''Meta/Omega [[BossGame Boss Battles]]'')
* ''Superman'' for the original GameBoy (played in its entirety [[TwoLinesNoWaiting during the fifth episode]] of his ''Superman 64'' LP)
* ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''[[hottip:*:four-player race-to-the-finish versus NintendoCapriSun, PCULL44444 and [[http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperJeenius SuperJeenius]]]]
* ''[[SuperMarioBros Mario's]] [[{{Edutainment}} Early Years]]''
!!His Let's Plays and other videos provide examples of:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: DeceasedCrab hooked him up with a ''KnyttStories'' game entitled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvZa3tiYwY "Don't Eat the Mushroom"]]. Guess what you have to do to advance the game. After [[spoiler:being surprised by Advertising/TheBurgerKing in front of a background of fire while [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "What Is Love?"]] plays on infinite loop]], he's legitimately delighted by DC's discovery.
-->'''ProtonJon''': ''Wha''--aw, cool! This is awesome! Why couldn't the real game have been like this?
** While he normally ''[[BerserkButton HATES]]'' [[InvisibleBlock Invisible Coin Blocks]], in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnXthO_O-Aw#t=05m38s this]] ROMHack he encounters an inventive use of them that's ActuallyPrettyFunny.
-->'''''[[NoIndoorVoice YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!]]''''' *chuckles* Okay, that ''was'' kinda funny.
* AndThatsTerrible: The original quote, given a shoutout in Superman 64 part 4.
* {{Angrish}}: When he gets ''really'' frustrated, he sometimes lapses into this. The entire second half of his Kaizo video is basically one long string of it.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From the end of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6pbz3ROvQ Super Kaizo World Part 1]]:
-->'''Jon''': ''Oh fu-hu-hu-hu-hu-huck, I didn't imagine that''! Oh, what the hell! I have to do all that over again... rewind! ({{beat}}) ...''I'M OUT OF REWINDS''! AAARRRGH, I gotta do all that over again! ...and the phone's ringing!
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzGy5EQXl7o this video]], Jon says he approves of the romhack level made by one "Xanaboy", and recommends that he make more. Xanaboy does indeed make more, as can be seen in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3620RnJn4mI&feature=channel this video]].
* BerserkButton: [[InvisibleBlock Invisible Blocks]]. These things are the bane of his existence. He got so fed up with them, he made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XnhPmVk6Y an entire level full of them]] in Lunar Magic and had two of his friends play through them.
-->"Stop it with the invisible coin blocks. They're not fu- shit."
* BewareTheNiceOnes Reading the page, it should obvious which LP this came up.
--> "FUCK YOU, SHPECHSEAL STAGE! FUCK YOU! DERE I GOT FUKIN PISSED, CHA HAPPEH?!"
* BigWhat: Often. Whenever he plays a game blind, you're guaranteed to hear lots of these.
* BrokeTheRatingScale: As mentioned on the page itself, Jon will occasionally give out Type 2s:
** ''Mario's Wacky World'' - 4 "Captain Falcons driving Sonic like he was an ''{{F-Zero}}'' car" out of 5. [--"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"--]
** ''Super Metroid Omega Boss Battles'' - 4 [[ViewtifulJoe Henshin-A-Go-Go Baby's]] out of 5.
* CanadaEh: He hails from the Great White North, and therefore [[CanadianAccents draws out his "a"s and "o"s, and pronounces "z" as "zed"]], which occasionally results in ribbing from his American peers. It's worth noting, though, that Jon was born and raised in Newfoundland, home to perhaps the most inscrutable dialect in the English language, but he doesn't really talk like that at all.
* CatchPhrase: Many are associated with him, even if he only said them once (or in only one video):
** MOVE FASTER POKEY!
** 100 SECONDS?!
** DEATH WATER!
*** CHERRY KOOL-AID!
** LEAP OF FAITH!
** NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!
** Oh, come off it...
** Rewind space-time...
** Thank you and good night!
** GGGGAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEE!!
** [[{{Buffy}} Once more with feeling.]]
** [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Bye guys!]]
* ClusterFBomb: He will lapse into this whenever sufficiently pissed off, the {{Kaizo trap}}s in KaizoMarioWorld and Mario's Wacky World being two shining examples.
** Everyone (save for NintendoCapriSun, but even he swears at times) in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''. [[SirSwearsALot Especially SuperJeenius.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: From his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGqjNmjQbXY 2010-2011 holiday special]]:
--> '''Jon:''' ♪We wish you a merry Christmashanukkahkwanzaafestivusholidayseason, we wish you a merry Christmashanukkahkwanzaafestivusholidayseason...♪ Uh, no. Hmm, maybe if I say Kwanzaa first...
* CosmeticAward: Given out like candy on Halloween in the ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' LP.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Averted often; many of the plans he comes up with backfire quite a lot [[hottip:*: such as the time he tried to [[VideoGame/{{Worms}} fire a homing pigeon in midair, only for it to blow him up]], or use a Chargin' Chuck as a springboard to help clear a gap, only to fail over and over again]].
* DeadpanSnarker: When he isn't raising his voice, he usually talks in this mode, along with the occasional helping of SelfDeprecation.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Ridiculous? That's ridiculous! Nothing can be as ridiculous as ridiculousness! ...How ridiculous ''are'' you?"
* DevelopmentHell: ''[[{{Superman64}} Superman 64]]'' test video: December 1, 2007. Trailer for the LP: January 26, 2008. Part 1 of the LP: ''June 17, 2010''.
* {{Documentary}}: His ''{{Superman 64}}'' LP is like this.
* {{Edutainment}}: He and his roommate Kelekin tackled a pair of SuperNES preschool games called ''Mario's Early Years.''
* TheFaceless: Averted with his work with the Speed Gamers. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKtGQUqJt4s He looks like Otacon]]
** Note that he's also favourited [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK9JHMKy1PQ two]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H45cdGh_U5o&feature=related videos]] of himself in costume as [[DevilMayCry Dante]] at an anime convention.
* FollowTheLeader: YouTube [=LPers=] probably owe more to him than anyone else.
* GenreSavvy: Becomes this in response to his repeated exposure to [[KaizoTrap Kaizo Traps]]. In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_A_SP8rh-c#t=3m45s this video]], he sniffs one out like a pro.
--> "You guys aren't going to get me with that trap any more, you have to understand that."
* GrowingUpSucks: Toyed with. Prior to the release of Superman 64 part 2, Jon wrote a message saying he'd stop [=LPing=] due to how he will inevitably mature... until it was revealed to be a fake letter.

* HellIsThatNoise: In-universe, "I'm not sleeping tonight, guys, this is my nightmare sound."

* TheJimmyHartVersion: He notes that the level music for Stage 8 of ''Superman'' for the Game Boy sounds a lot like the theme from ''MissionImpossible''.
* KaizoTrap: His reaction to the TropeNamer made them famous.
* KubrickStare: His banner on YouTube is of Ryu from ''NinjaGaiden'' doing a particularly epic one of these.
* LampshadeHanging: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ct5As7OZ3rA#t=4963s This video]] Has Jon talking about his ancient, somewhat malfunctioning NES, when he says this line:
--> "My NES is somewhat like [[{{ScheduleSlip}} my update schedule]], it only works every six months."
** Also during his Superman 64 LP, after completing the 1st level of the Gameboy game: "Thanks for hanging around for the first stage. See you again in 2 months when we do stage two."

* MissingEpisode: His six-part LP of stage 3 from ''Enigmatic Mario'', the second SMW romhack he did, was deleted from YouTube because they muted the audio. It can still be found there, because several people have uploaded mirror copies.
** A lot of his old collaboration and challenge videos, which were never uploaded to YouTube in the first place, can be found on Google Video.
** With rumours that Google Video is going to purge their archive, he finally began uploading some of these older videos, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbmx2-AtvEw he started off with a bang]].
* MushroomSamba: [[TwoWordsObviousTrope Three Words]]: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvZa3tiYwY What Is Love?]]

* NoExceptYes: Getting damaged by a [[GoddamnBats flying Cheep-Cheep]] in ''Mario's Wacky World'':
-->"THAT did not help! ..Maybe it did."
* OldShame: His first LP, of ''Kirby Super Star''. He only uploaded the first part, ''Spring Breeze'', to YouTube and refuses to upload the rest, though others have in his stead.
** Despair not; the rest of the LP is up [[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Kirby%20Superstar/ on the Let's Play Archive]].
** His old catchphrases also qualify; he's repeatedly said he hates it when people reference his old stuff.
*** Which is likely why the other [[TheRunawayGuys Runaway Guys]] do it ''[[{{Troll}} constantly]]''.
* OneOfUs: [[http://twitter.com/Proton_Jon/status/26530386061 This tweet]] confirms it.

* PercussiveTherapy: Jon hammering the save state key in frustration whilst playing Kaizo Mario.
--> "[[MadnessMantra STATE SAVED!....STATE SAVED!....STATE SAVED!...]]"
* PetPeeveTrope: InUniverse example; oh, how Jon ''hates'' invisible coin blocks. He considers them FakeDifficulty, as most of the time they're used for traps that can't be avoided unless Jon already falls into them. Yet, he keeps seeing this [[RunningGag on a regular basis]].
* PlatformHell: Kaizo, of course. Many of the other romhacks he plays also try for this, with varying degrees of success.
* SaveScumming
* ScheduleSlip: Ever since he graduated from university in mid-2008, his updates have been erratic at best. He eventually declared the longest of these hiccups (summer 2009 to spring 2010) to be a full-fledged hiatus.
* SchmuckBait: During the "Bad Place Mario" romhack, one of the levels is labeled "Don't Go Here." He immediately goes there. [[spoiler: It sends him instantly tumbling into the pit, making him lose a life. "Fine. I won't go there.]]
* ShownTheirWork: His ''Superman 64'' LP has much more sophisticated editing than usual, not to mention the detailed trivia and history sections throughout each video. Case-in-point: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZOWibh__uQ episode 5]].
* ShoutOut: Each ''Superman 64'' ring stage clip ends with a screen tallying up the rings Superman has flown through, with the ''SonicTheHedgehog'' theme playing as a TakeThat.

--> "You can't go ''lower'', Carmen, You ''CAN'T GO LOWER''!!"\\
"You are ''useless'', Carmen!"
* SturgeonsLaw: Many of the hacks he's asked to play fall under this.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: In one of ''Superman 64'''s many, ''many'' glitches, he demonstrates that an innocent bystander seems to be completely impervious to Superman's attacks, including when he ''throws an exploding crate at her'', but immediately keels over if she's even grazed by a Dark Shadow attack.
* [[TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat The Tape Didn't Know You Would Say That]]:
--> "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGqjNmjQbXY Oh, hi! I didn't see you come in. Probably because this is pre-recorded.]]"
* ThisIsSparta: "MOVE FASTER POKEY!" has been subject to a few Sparta remixes - the most popular of which was actually taken down due to CreatorBacklash.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: During Stage 5 of ''Superman 64'', he essentially interrupted the game (though you could still see him playing it in the picture-in-picture) to do a full LP of the GameBoy version of ''Superman'', returning afterwards to show all the glitches he missed.
* UndesirablePrize: Jon and his roommate created a custom prize list for their ''DealOrNoDeal'' PC game. Nearly ''everything'' on the list was an UndesirablePrize-- top contenders are "Hepatitis A-G", "Wet Cardboard Box", and "[[UrineTrouble A Golden Shower]] from [[CrossesTheLineTwice R. Kelly]]". Other gems include a year's supply of [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment calendar]], [[BaldOfAwesome Howie Mandel's haircut]], and "[[LeetLingo 1337 5P34K 13550N5]]".
* VerbalTic: He calls these "word of the week", because they change over time. In the specific LP where he mentions this, the tics are "boogie" and "EXTREEEME!", as he himself points out.
* VeryFalseAdvertising: "This means today is the [[PowerEchoes SAMUS ARAN BOMBING POWER HOUR]]. ...Even though it's only 10 minutes."
* VisualInnuendo: In "Mario's Early Years," he and Kelekin notice that one stage puts a "Box" in a... very inopportune location on Princess Peach's body. They fall apart laughing.
* WasntThatFun: After the end of Kaizo World Special Stage 2: "THERE! I GOT PISSED! YA HAPPY?! ...Well, that was fun. I wonder what the next stage is like? :D"
* WeaksauceWeakness: "Apparently he's found my one weakness: simple jumps."
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: One level of a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' romhack consisted of nothing but sliding down a few slopes... which Jon happened to play while the ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'' remix of "[[{{Kirby}} Gourmet Race]]" blared on in the background. "''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk0EiUTldrY SO FUCKING METAL!]]''"

* WhatWouldXDo: While battling the Masked Devil in ''[[NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden]]'' (NES):
--> "There was a ''really'' good strategy someone showed me once. ..It was so good [[WhatAnIdiot I forgot it]]."
* WordSaladLyrics: His (surprisingly catchy) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzGy5EQXl7o&t=2m48s improvised lyrics]] to "Reptilia" by The Strokes:
--> ♪ Come on, come on, now / Let's keep moving now / Why is this so slow / Don't make me fast-forward / Because it really sucks / Can I jump over here / No I prob'ly can't / Goodbye Yoshi, I hate you / AH I GOTTA RUN / Didn't make it in time / [[{{Catchphrase}} Rewind space-time]] ♪\\

--->'''Proton Jon''', [[ComedicSociopathy suffering for his art]]
[[http://www.youtube.com/user/ProtonJonSA Proton Jon]] is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]], part of the original group of Video Let's Players from SomethingAwful. Like most of them, he created a YouTube account to host the videos he made. One day, he posted a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6pbz3ROvQ two]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiCm9FYZhBA part]] LP of a level from ''KaizoMarioWorld''. It became a huge hit, and one of the seminal LP videos on YouTube.
Many [=LPers=], some of whom have become quite popular in their own right, [[PromotedFanboy list him as an inspiration]]. His commentary style alternates between [[DeadpanSnarker wry, witty commentary]] and [[BigWhat hysterical]], [[{{Angrish}} incomprehensible]] rambling, sometimes in the same sentence. [[FountainOfMemes Many]] of his unique turns of phrase have gone [[MemeticMutation viral]].
His most popular videos are his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' [[GameMod romhack]] [=LPs=] and his posts of ''SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' matches with his friends. Both of these are on indefinite hiatus, though he continues to LP other games.
He became a YouTube partner on October 18, 2010. Along with {{Chuggaaconroy}} and {{NintendoCapriSun}}, he is also part of a collaborative LP group known as TheRunawayGuys.
!! Proton Jon's Ongoing [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]]:
* ''[[{{Superman64}} Superman 64]]''
!!Games Proton Jon has [[LetsPlay Let's Played]]:
* ''NinjaGaiden'' (the entire trilogy)
* ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''
* Numerous [[GameMod romhacks]] of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''
** ''KaizoMarioWorld''
* ''KnyttStories''
* ''KirbySuperStar''
* ''SuperMetroid'' (actually a romhack, ''Meta/Omega [[BossGame Boss Battles]]'')
* ''Superman'' for the original GameBoy (played in its entirety [[TwoLinesNoWaiting during the fifth episode]] of his ''Superman 64'' LP)
* ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''[[hottip:*:four-player race-to-the-finish versus NintendoCapriSun, PCULL44444 and [[http://www.youtube.com/user/SuperJeenius SuperJeenius]]]]
* ''[[SuperMarioBros Mario's]] [[{{Edutainment}} Early Years]]''
!!His Let's Plays and other videos provide examples of:
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: DeceasedCrab hooked him up with a ''KnyttStories'' game entitled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGvZa3tiYwY "Don't Eat the Mushroom"]]. Guess what you have to do to advance the game. After [[spoiler:being surprised by Advertising/TheBurgerKing in front of a background of fire while [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome "What Is Love?"]] plays on infinite loop]], he's legitimately delighted by DC's discovery.
-->'''ProtonJon''': ''Wha''--aw, cool! This is awesome! Why couldn't the real game have been like this?
** While he normally ''[[BerserkButton HATES]]'' [[InvisibleBlock Invisible Coin Blocks]], in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnXthO_O-Aw#t=05m38s this]] ROMHack he encounters an inventive use of them that's ActuallyPrettyFunny.
-->'''''[[NoIndoorVoice YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!]]''''' *chuckles* Okay, that ''was'' kinda funny.
* AndThatsTerrible: The original quote, given a shoutout in Superman 64 part 4.
* {{Angrish}}: When he gets ''really'' frustrated, he sometimes lapses into this. The entire second half of his Kaizo video is basically one long string of it.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From the end of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua6pbz3ROvQ Super Kaizo World Part 1]]:
-->'''Jon''': ''Oh fu-hu-hu-hu-hu-huck, I didn't imagine that''! Oh, what the hell! I have to do all that over again... rewind! ({{beat}}) ...''I'M OUT OF REWINDS''! AAARRRGH, I gotta do all that over again! ...and the phone's ringing!
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzGy5EQXl7o this video]], Jon says he approves of the romhack level made by one "Xanaboy", and recommends that he make more. Xanaboy does indeed make more, as can be seen in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3620RnJn4mI&feature=channel this video]].
* BerserkButton: [[InvisibleBlock Invisible Blocks]]. These things are the bane of his existence. He got so fed up with them, he made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XnhPmVk6Y an entire level full of them]] in Lunar Magic and had two of his friends play through them.
-->"Stop it with the invisible coin blocks. They're not fu- shit."
* BewareTheNiceOnes Reading the page, it should obvious which LP this came up.
--> "FUCK YOU, SHPECHSEAL STAGE! FUCK YOU! DERE I GOT FUKIN PISSED, CHA HAPPEH?!"
* BigWhat: Often. Whenever he plays a game blind, you're guaranteed to hear lots of these.
* BrokeTheRatingScale: As mentioned on the page itself, Jon will occasionally give out Type 2s:
** ''Mario's Wacky World'' - 4 "Captain Falcons driving Sonic like he was an ''{{F-Zero}}'' car" out of 5. [--"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"--]
** ''Super Metroid Omega Boss Battles'' - 4 [[ViewtifulJoe Henshin-A-Go-Go Baby's]] out of 5.
* CanadaEh: He hails from the Great White North, and therefore [[CanadianAccents draws out his "a"s and "o"s, and pronounces "z" as "zed"]], which occasionally results in ribbing from his American peers. It's worth noting, though, that Jon was born and raised in Newfoundland, home to perhaps the most inscrutable dialect in the English language, but he doesn't really talk like that at all.
* CatchPhrase: Many are associated with him, even if he only said them once (or in only one video):
** MOVE FASTER POKEY!
** 100 SECONDS?!
** DEATH WATER!
*** CHERRY KOOL-AID!
** LEAP OF FAITH!
** NOW I'LL SHOW YOU!
** Oh, come off it...
** Rewind space-time...
** Thank you and good night!
** GGGGAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEE!!
** [[{{Buffy}} Once more with feeling.]]
** [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Bye guys!]]
* ClusterFBomb: He will lapse into this whenever sufficiently pissed off, the {{Kaizo trap}}s in KaizoMarioWorld and Mario's Wacky World being two shining examples.
** Everyone (save for NintendoCapriSun, but even he swears at times) in ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}''. [[SirSwearsALot Especially SuperJeenius.]]
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: From his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGqjNmjQbXY 2010-2011 holiday special]]:
--> '''Jon:''' ♪We wish you a merry Christmashanukkahkwanzaafestivusholidayseason, we wish you a merry Christmashanukkahkwanzaafestivusholidayseason...♪ Uh, no. Hmm, maybe if I say Kwanzaa first...
* CosmeticAward: Given out like candy on Halloween in the ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' LP.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Averted often; many of the plans he comes up with backfire quite a lot [[hottip:*: such as the time he tried to [[VideoGame/{{Worms}} fire a homing pigeon in midair, only for it to blow him up]], or use a Chargin' Chuck as a springboard to help clear a gap, only to fail over and over again]].
* DeadpanSnarker: When he isn't raising his voice, he usually talks in this mode, along with the occasional helping of SelfDeprecation.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Ridiculous? That's ridiculous! Nothing can be as ridiculous as ridiculousness! ...How ridiculous ''are'' you?"
* DevelopmentHell: ''[[{{Superman64}} Superman 64]]'' test video: December 1, 2007. Trailer for the LP: January 26, 2008. Part 1 of the LP: ''June 17, 2010''.
* {{Documentary}}: His ''{{Superman 64}}'' LP is like this.
* {{Edutainment}}: He and his roommate Kelekin tackled a pair of SuperNES preschool games called ''Mario's Early Years.''

♪ Wish these lyrics would be on the screen so I'd ''know'' them / I - hate - make-ing - up - stuff / because my voice goes outta tune ♪
* YouFailLogicForever: Who else but Xanaboy?
--> "I'm sorry if this is news to you, but 111 is more than 84. I may have blown your mind. I'm sorry."
