Jon Tron Show - Reviews, Lists, Madness

I don't recall ever seeing the older "this is your brain on drugs" commercial, but I clearly remember the one that Jon showed, with the woman going ballistic and smashing everything in the kitchen.

Also so glad he called out the stupid "lol mario eats mushroom" joke that got old reaaaaalllll fast
 
Oh god, THAT movie. I saw a review of it last year or so & man, it felt so mean-spirited. Will be interesting to see Jon's take on it.
 
"even if one of them has been behaving, for most of the holiday season, like a spoiled, selfish little baby"

YA KNOW, UNLIKE THE NEIGHBORS WHO ACTED LIKE SPOILED, SELFISH LITTLE BABIES WHEN ONE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE TOWN DECIDED TO NOT DO THINGS THEIR WAY & KEPT PRESSURING THEM TO DO THINGS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Like holy hell, imagine if someone moved into that neighborhood & was like "um....we don't celebrate Christmas, we're Jewish/Muslim/etc."
 
Finally that's one reviewed movie I have already watched. I think Dan Aykroyd was the sole reason I bothered to watch it too.

I'm still trying to process that ending.

This guy used to do videos about videogames at some point, no?

He made a videogame vid about a month ago...unless you mean videogame reviews, then he made one six months ago. Which is still very recent on the jontron timescale.

I want to know if that crazy church of the seven guy at the end was real or not.

It's NYC. Of course he's real. There's probably dozens of him.

Have you never watched any "man on the street" stuff from any one of a dozen talk shows, there's a lot of crazy people in big cities. Especially NYC.
 
Shit I don't remember anything about Christmas with the Kranks but I think my parents were watching it last night.

The movie now seems like an Orwellian nightmare tailored just for me. I'm the guy who on Christmas or Thanksgiving or Easter is always like "Y'know we don't have to do that. We could just...not. You don't have to buy the tree or put up the lights when its 20 degrees outside or drive 5 hours to visit family for one night." and eventually that started to rub off on my parents, but a lot of people act like not celebrating holidays is some sin.

Totally real. Its New York City.

Hell, I've interacted with them, though only once in NYC and about 30 times in LA. That's why I'm more leaning toward "real".
 
I've been to LA and SanFran once each in my life and saw someone like that in both

Seattle and Portland I've been too a lot but never really seen any of that type there

So what's the deal with Jon's douchey neckbeard. Nobody can possibly think that shit looks good.

It's likely he wants a beard but he can't grow anything else fast enough.

Lord knows my current beard has taken me months to grow, and it'd take someone who grows shit at a regular pace like maybe a couple of weeks.
 
His schtick was reviewing bad humorous old games from snes/Gameboy and back. He might have simply ran out of material. Except on cases like when he plays banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts. Or, what's also likely, he doesn't have the time investment to make a video about games vs a movie. With a movie he might spend 3 or 4 hours going over the movie and editing out scenes he wants to include in his video.

With a game in theory he tries to get as far as he can which might be much more hours of play time, then more hours to edit footage. And ultimately there's plenty of bad movies to review.

Hell he could just start watching films that the guys from half in the bag have seen.
 
Been following JonTron a long time but Christ I didn't realise the guy is actually a piece of shit. His Twitter is such a shitshow.
 
I think it's more that these guys have stopped caring about not posting these thoughts. Jon never striked me like someone who didn't hold these opinions.

He has most definitely become more overbearing. I have friends who think like this but at least theyre smart enough to know that posting this shit on a public space does absolutely nothing for their image besides ruin it.

I only like them for their comedy anyways. And their comedy has nothing to do with any of this shit thank God.
 
I'm pretty sure it's long being suspected Jon is a massive bigot. Now that we live in our currently reality there's no reason to not be out and about for people like him.
 
I knew he was sort of an idiot on this sort of issues, but lately he just went full throttle into nutjob territory.
Too bad because I think he can still put out funny and well produced videos.
 
I always really liked the guy. Some posters in the other thread said the writing was on the wall, but I guess I didn't follow him closely enough to see it. It's a shame as I genuinely liked his older stuff, and he was fuckin' with Ethan from H3 which made him that much more approachable. I guess I won't be subbing his channel anymore. I can't support anyone who spews that sort of shit.
 
Words can't describe how shocked I am, maybe it's because I never followed him closely, outside of his appearances on the co-optional podcast. He came off as nice, level headed and intelligent - wtf happened. I hope he loses his channel, his platforms and income, fuck that piece of shit. The thread shouldn't have been closed, we shouldn't be normalising people like him
 
I stopped following him and unsubbed a few months ago when it looked like things were heading this way. I was really hoping he'd snap out of it. Such a shame, because he was one of my favorite youtubers. What a waste.

you sure sounds like a nice and level headed person. wanna wish for the death of someone in his family while you're at it?
 
Yeah, I won't wish any misfortune on him for as much as I want to but I definitely am very disappointed as a long time fan of him from before game grumps, during game grumps, and beyond. Really bummed me out but I couldn't ignore it any long and had to unsub and unfollow on twitter. I wish him the best in the hopes that one day he can realize that he should at least be a little more sensitive when trying to express his opinions.
 
Wishing death/misfortune on Jon over this is beyond moronic but yes I've kind of reached a similar point I did for notch in terms of 'I can't keep mentally giving this person excuses because I was a huge fan of theirs'. Like he's not even being particularly coherent in the streams he's showing up to argue his political views on to the point where I'm not even sure if he knows what he's angry at anymore.

Probably going to keep watching his social media accounts though because him on that Sargon stream (banning someone for spamming unsolicited porn at everybody is liberal censorship now I guess) talking about the upcoming Civil War the US will have with the 'commulists' is hilarious.

Like, if people want a legitimate conservative viewpoint in games, I'd say somebody like Colin Moriarty represents it with far more class then Jon's largely incoherent, pointlessly-confrontational ranting.
 
Jon getting honest about his right-wing libertarianism. I can understand some of his points, others...

But I can't get too upset, probably because it's not really surprising even before his Breitbart and GamerGate involvement.
