3[[https://www.youtube.com/user/BikdipOnABus BikdipOnABus]], AKA Joshua "Jish" Giadrosich, is a [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] on Website/YouTube. Known for his monotone delivery and withering attitude toward everyone and everything on [=YouTube=], [[HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight including his own channel]] (now clocking over 2,000 videos).
4
5He started off in 2006 doing Videogame/SuperMario64 Tasks on Website/GameFAQs, and managed to gain a large viewership when he did a [[NintendoHard Very Hard Mode]] play through of VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy. He has created 3 games using ''VideoGame/ZeldaClassic'': Bikdip's Adventure, Mitch, and Bikdip's Adventure 2. The Bikdip's Adventure series is based upon the 'Strange Creatures' series, an extremely random and strange variation of Pokémon he and a friend created in middle school.
6
7Most of his Let's Plays are done with [[SelfImposedChallenge a gimmick]], such as beating Videogame/{{Pikmin}} without resetting, and the [[Videogame/SuperMario64 3D]] [[Videogame/SuperMarioSunshine Mario]] [[Videogame/SuperMarioGalaxy Games]] without any coins. He also streams on his main [[http://www.twitch.tv/skrumpei/ Twitch channel]] occasionally.

9He has accounts on [[https://twitter.com/Skrumpei Twitter]] and [[https://www.patreon.com/giadrosich Patreon]], and he has a rarely-updated official website called [[http://www.freewebs.com/bikdiponabus/ "Jish's Junk"]].

130
131!!Tropes appearing in his videos:
132
133* AndIMustScream: His 10,000 subscriber special is funny, until you realize that Jish and Martin were conscious the ''entire time''.
134* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: You play as Bikdark half-way through Bikdip's Adventure 2.
135* {{Angrish}}: Rare, but either his siblings or a really frustrating part of a game can drive him to this.
136* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Six of them. Except for maybe one.
137* AprilFoolsDay:
138** 2010: The fake Part 64 of Pokemon [=FireRed=] Omega ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkulvxiNp-g Mama Luigi Leaves the Stove On]]) was 20 seconds of the actual episode, and the rest was the first episode of his Pikmin 2 LP, which hadn't gone up yet.
139** 2013: He uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eezV_nmEUVs a fake first part]] of ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay''. Funny because, two years later, he'd go back and actually play through the game.
140* AscendedFanboy: Started watching Martin's videos, eventually becoming their boyfriend, now spouse, after a while.
141** Has his own in [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TimStarz04 TimStarz04]], who has been in several of Bikdip's videos, and vice versa.
142** Also has Joel [[https://www.youtube.com/user/milesprower1010/videos milesprower1010]], who actually visited their house for a bit to game with them.
143* AudienceParticipation: Occasionally asks viewers to vote in polls for decisions on what to do in a game, or what games he'll do next. Streams take this up another notch with occasional viewers that speak with him or even send in fan-made games for him to play.
144* BadassAdorable: His entire team in the Baby-Only Run of Pokemon Platinum.
145* {{Backtracking}}: Complains about this trope, most notable in games like ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
146* BagOfSpilling: PlayedStraight in Bikdip's Adventure 2. Then later ''inverted'' in the second half of the game, which, being a separate file, assumes you have collected everything in the first half.
147* BetterThanABareBulb: He never fails to comment on failures in game logic and [[ShoutOut name-drops tropes often]].
148** His own voice comes through loud and clear in the fangames: Bikdip has never even heard of suspension of disbelief. Every story ends with the main characters complaining that the whole adventure was pointless and nonsensical.
149* BrickJoke:
150** In one segment of [=FireRed=] Omega, he fights an opposing Trainer's Krabby and mentions that he had a joke relating to crabs, but forgot to make it when the Krabby was initially sent out, and felt it wouldn't have the same effect afterwards. Several segments later, while fighting an opponent's Kingler, he again complains that he forgot to make said crab joke. Fast forward several more segments, and he finally makes the joke once he sees an opponent's Crawdaunt.
151** In episode 2 of Kaizo Mario 64, he mentions having 3 different versions of Mario 64 on his computer, ''including a demo of Super Mario 74'', which he would LP about 2 years later.
152* CaptionHumor: Occasionally. But his Mitch playthrough stands out by having every episode have a few annotations pop up, either explaining something, mocking himself, or quoting Dora.
153* JustForFun/CandleJack: His first thought upon seeing the [[spoiler:Giant's Mask]] from Majora's Mask is Candle Jack. He jokingly says the video will end right there and [[spoiler: doesn't do that, instead continuing for the then 15 minute time limit]].
154* CatchPhrase: Many over the years, including:
155** Bagel.
156** Beefs.
157** Stuff.
158** And it becomes a ''very'' different game.
159** And we go all like a-herp!
160** The Steve...
161** Felf
162** ...Yes?
163** I had my fun.
164** OK I'll shut up now.
165* CheatersNeverProsper: Happened his Mitch LP. He bought an item, ran out of the store, and bought two more things in another store because his on-screen rupee numbers were still rolling down (it tricked the game into thinking he had enough rupees). If he hadn't done this, he'd be left with 89 rupees. The very next episode he has no rupees when entering a dungeon, and a part requires him to spend 50 to get past. He notes the irony in the annotation.
166** In Majora's Mask part 20, he tries to Bombchu Hover Glitch into Ikana in order to get the Stone Mask way earlier then you're supposed to. Ironically it's the Real Bombchu's that mess it up because they keep respawning and ruining his attempts.
167** Generally subverted with his use of savestates in games.
168* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Has a habit of spouting non-sequiturs and odd sayings, even outside of his rarely explained references. Example:
169** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehN-EQzRalM&feature=player_detailpage#t=704s "...It's the loudest thing...since sliced bread. SLICED BREAD IS REALLY FUCKING LOUD. GODDAMNIT, BREAD. SHUT UP. I DON'T NEED TO LISTEN TO YOUR SHIT. ...CHRIST-- Okay, I'm done."]]
170*** And also the fact that he loves making obscure references that 99% of his audience won't understand...
171* CrossPlayer: In his Pokemon LP's he always picks the girl character.
172* CallBack: He'll do a lot of these to older videos, some from years gone by.
173* DeadpanSnarker: He shows shades of this, especially during his Videogame/SuperMarioRPG LetsPlay.
174** You haven't lived until you've heard him [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csJKUgrKiqc recite the lyrics]] to ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy''
175* DescriptionCut: Near the end of Episode 80 of FireRedOmega, he talks about how, if he were a professional [=LP=]er, he'd cut instead of just wandering around aimlessly on screen. He proceeds to do twice before the episode ends.
176* {{Determinator}}: "When there's a part in a game that is like, freaking impossible, I get dedicated to it, and I'll get really freaking pissed off at it, but I'll keep trying. I just can't be around other humans when I'm doing it."
177* DoNotCallMePaul: Much prefers his pseudonyms "Jish" and "Bikdip" over his real name, Josh/Joshua.
178* EasyEvangelism: Lampshades this trope when he (or rather his character) does this to a female Rocket Grunt in Fire Red Omega episode 81. "[[https://youtu.be/Aw8532PgzkE?t=7m5s I've converted her in a matter of minutes]]."
179* EpicFail: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyhWL6V9Xpw His attempt]] to play ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt'' ended with [[spoiler:the Wii getting bricked]].
180** Similarly, his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZWD3X4BDk attempt]] to play ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger'' ended with [[spoiler:the DS's touch screen breaking]]. In the comments he even makes a CallBack to the Shake It! incident.
181* EvilCounterpart: Bikdark is this to Bikdip. As a bonus, he is playable in the second game. The game gives no reason for Bikdark's appearance, origins, or even his motives. As Jish commented, he knew we were expecting some lame excuse, so instead he gives us nothing. Beautiful.
182* FailedASpotCheck: During a boss battle in MMDWR, the same episode as the above Wubbzy lyric recital, he glosses over a line of text that the boss says which implies that you have to hit him with the Light Saber. [[https://youtu.be/csJKUgrKiqc?t=7m50s When Bikdip notices this]], he calls himself an idiot (and even names the video "Holy Crap I'm Stupid").
183* FakeDifficulty: Most of his anger at ''VideoGame/YoshisIslandDS'' is this trope.
184* FissionMailed: In Bikdip's Adventure 2.
185* FlatJoy: Almost every video.
186-->"[-Yay.-]"
187* GoodBadBugs: {{Invoked}} in his Zelda Classic games. Also has no problem exploiting them when he finds them in his videos.
188* TheGrinch: Heavily Downplayed, in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKveDzozLzg Demo World]] he explained he liked it when he was younger and that it hasn't been important for him in a while. More benign apathy then anything else.
189* GuideDangIt: The Burn the Map Puzzle from Bikdip's Adventure, and the entirety of the Ultimate Secret to [[spoiler: find the Mitch Overworld]] in Bikdip's Adventure 2. Especially the part where you have to hammer the one block which, due to a glitch, gives no indication that it can even be hammered at all.
190** Also at times a problem in the games he plays blind. Notably in the ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' hacks.
191* HeroOfAnotherStory: Link in his Bargo the Bikdip games.
192* HonorBeforeReason: Downplayed. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiGoBWzMdaU MMDWR Part 39]], he could have gotten the Golden Armor much earlier due to a programming glitch, but chose to wait until he gets the item that was supposed to let him get it.
193* IncrediblyLamePun: Occasionally, and usually sarcastically.
194** In Demo World part 14 he says [[https://youtu.be/-pgohQLYM1Y?t=6m14s "This is a P-switch, not a key-switch"]], and then slaps himself for that joke.
195* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every part has a title that contains some in-joke, reference, pun, or some clever joke that relates to the events of the episode or something about the game.
196* IronicEchoCut: [[https://youtu.be/ILOV6IM1I3M?t=49s In Part 38 of Fire Red Omega]] he asks if Molly (his Sunflora) is happy (which determines how powerful the Return TM will be if he uses it one her), then cuts back to two old comments he made earlier in the LP saying how sad he'll be when he ditches her (and that he'll 'definitely' ditch her), and how his Pokemon don't need to be happy.
197* LongRunners: Been on [=YouTube=] for over ten years, and making videos for almost as long. Also leads into his MilestoneCelebration.
198* MillionToOneChance: In Pokémon Emerald Parts 45 + 46 (one big segment) he says around the halfway point that he's tired of seeing [[GoddamnedBats Tentacool]], and goes on a small tangent saying he'll see a shiny Tentacool. At the end of the episode...it happens: a shiny Tentacool shows up, and he breaks down rambling about the impossibility of it. He then names it [[CallItKarma Karma]].
199-->Josh: [[RetroactiveWish Couldn't I have asked for something else?]] [[SarcasmMode Oh yeah]], I never want to see another [[OlympusMons Groudon]] again, because the next one I see will be shi-GOD DAMMIT GAME!
200* MoonLogicPuzzle: The Burn the Map Puzzle from Bikdip's Adventure.
201-->Josh: "Seriously, who would think to burn the map!?"
202* {{MST}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL499902CC14FA23A4 Riffs on flash games]] with Martin in the style of WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}.
203* TheNicknamer: He tends to nickname various things in game, sometimes repeatedly, sometimes once.
204** Shortly after the English name of the Pokemon "Conkeldurr" was revealed, he resolves to call every Chuckya in Kaizo Mario 64 a Conkeldurr.
205** He calls the papaya in VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine "The Steve".
206*** Which becomes a BrickJoke in [[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 3]] when he finds another papaya. As well as in Super Mario 74 by Martin when he mentioned how he wanted it to be a running joke of "Biblical proportions!"
207*** There is now a nickname for all the other fruits in VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine as well.
208** He also calls [[spoiler: Mecha Ridley,]] the final boss of Zero Mission, "Iron Ted".
209** He refers to the "Luigi" in the Star Revenge games as "Green Mario" (since it is simply a green PaletteSwap of Mario).
210* NonAnswer: In part 17 of his Super Mario Galaxy 2 LP, this conversation takes place:
211-->Josh: "Did people say what that was yet?"
212-->Martin: "I think someone said it was like, something."
213-->[[DeadpanSnarker Josh:]] "Oh. Okay."
214* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Referenced in the subtitle of Bikdip's Adventure 2.
215* OfficialCouple: Martin and Josh
216* OhCrap: After spending hours on the [[NintendoHard brutally difficult]] fourteenth course in Super Mario 74, the Luminium Sphere, he ends the video by checking out what course fifteen looked like. His reaction when he realized the Ombru Sphere was the exact same level but upside-down is simply priceless.
217* ARareSentence: [[https://youtu.be/7ZY8EQnNLfE?t=12m38s "So now we get to go to Glitzville to buy hot sauce from the random Ratatoing guy with a chair fetish...there's a sentence you never thought you'd hear."]]
218* ReferenceOverdosed: He complained about this recently in Luigi's Adventure, [[https://youtu.be/BCSh_b2EnwI?t=13m44s saying he basically become a talking kids book that spews out a reference every time he says/hears/reads/thinks of a word.]]
219** Turned around with the aforementioned VideoGame/WarioWare DIY video. where fans sent in games based on Bikdips games, quotes, references, basically everything.
220* RunningGag: In Fire Red Omega, he repeatedly mentions Electrode's capability to use Sharpen and turn into a cube. [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/BikdipOnABus/shockube.png He later drew it.]]
221** In Gex 64, the game kept crashing.
222** All [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Chuck-yas]] are called [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackandWhite Conkeldurrs]] after an episode in Kaizo Mario 64.
223** Calling episodes of unrelated Lets Plays "The Caves of Manikvraad" when they relate to a cave level, as a reference to Level 8 of Bikdip's Adventure 2, which was called The Caves of Manikvraad.
224** For years he's been telling people to check the comments before posting something, usually an explanation of something he asked, or a thing he missed in the game. Nobody listens and he usually gets several people saying the same thing, prompting him to futilely repeat himself.
225** He always says he has no material or no commentary, and he has no idea why people watch him.
226** In the old days there was "Pickle Surprise".
227* SelfDeprecation: Pretty much the entirety of the Bikdip's Adventure playthrough. And, well, a lot of other videos.
228* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Bikdark]] upends Ganon in the final level of ''Bikdip's Adventure 2''. He was getting tired of Ganon's speeches.
229* TheStoic: In almost every video, his voice barely changes.
230** NotSoStoic: When sufficiently mad, he'll blow up.
231*** He can also get a bit teary during particularly emotional times, and has admitting to crying during [[Franchise/ToyStory several]] [[WesternAnimation/WallE movies]].
232* SurrealHumor: There is quite a bit of this, especially when he runs out of things to talk about. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq-VffnuWok&feature=youtu.be&t=16m7s this]].
233* TemptingFate: see MillionToOneChance up above.
234* ThemeNaming: He and his siblings all have names beginning with J. Even one of his main contributors, Joel, has a name that begins with J.
235* VerbalTic: Also many, including:
236** Bagel.
237** Owh (when feigning being shocked).
238* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler: For much of the latter half of Bikdip's Adventure 2, control switches from Bikdip to his evil alter-ego Bikdark, who is working for Ganon.]]
239* WalkingTechbane: He seems to have a knack for breaking stuff on camera.
240** While playing VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt, [[spoiler: the Wii stopped working.]]
241** His ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger'' [=LP=] ended with [[spoiler: the touch screen on the DS breaking.]]
242** In the middle of streaming VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing, [[spoiler:the computer that Joel gave them (nicknamed Big Anders) "took his final gasp and died".]]
243** [[spoiler:The UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance that Martin was using]] died during a ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles'' stream.
244* WorstWhateverEver: If an episode goes particularly badly, he'll call it the "worst episode/segment ever".
