I rewatched half of his old episodes recently. Looking forward to the new stuff! I'd really like to see:

- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
- Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (or any Goemon game)
- Bomberman 64 or Bomberman Hero
- Beetle Adventure Racing
- Donkey Kong Country trilogy

He's touched on some of those in other episodes, but dedicated episodes would be amazing.

Beetle Adventure Racing was amazing.

But I forget. Was Jon the one who hated the DKC games or the one who liked them? I was always really sad the Grumps never finished DKC2 after going all the way through DKC1. Then they never did DKC3. Maybe it was Arin who didn't like 2.

Looking forward so hard.

Jontron loves Rare circa the SNES and N64. He listed all three of the DKC games in his Top 20 SNES Games. All three of them, each with separate entries. I think he didn't even include ALttP and Chrono Trigger.

Mad respect for giving each DKC its due. Yes, even DKC3. Which is better than DKC1. But neither are better than DKC2.

Ha, still watching that video and people just keep asking him what his favorite things are, and now he's breaking into musical for no reason (~13 minute mark).

YES! I was just saying the other day I'm eager to see his new stuff. And this subject matter (Home Alone) -- LOL.

I'm pretty sure he's mistaking Jon with someone completely different because this is news to me.

Seriously, Jon is a lovable teddy bear.

I've seen some of the usual joyless folk here harp on Jontron about alleged racist remarks, but I bet they're taking it out of context and it's just him being silly, probably taking the piss out of racism by showing how absurd it is. I really doubt there's even an ounce of hate in Jontron's heart. He's just a great guy, with a lightheartedness to him that I find admirable.

"All the blacks and whites and Jews and Asians and Latinos should all die". Hilarious. It was a joke and he doesn't mean it but what does it say about him if that is what he thinks if funny? What about him going to racist websites as a "joke"?

Joking doesn't NOT make you an unfunny asshole.

He's made some racial jokes on Game Grumps, but if anyone takes that really serious, then I sincerely pity them.

Way I see it, he's making fun of the people who are hateful and actually think that way. He's depicting such sentiment as absurd because it -is- absurd. Like I said, taking the piss out of racism.

Should probably check back to the site later, it seems like it's experiencing incredibly heavy load right now and the videos don't load.

So he's basically being racist towards himself and every race out there in a sentence that's an absurdist spoof which you took out of context?

Come on, son. Watch his actual videos before you make blind assumptions. Jon is a swell guy.

I don't understand.. why are you in this thread if you don't like him?

Anyway, about fucking time! I'm glad hes doing other sketches than just video games.

Sounds like Satire 101 to me, friend. Do you think Onion articles are real too?

I have no horse in this race, I've never seen a full Jon Tron video (very little Game Grumps too) and he could be racist for all I know. But as a third party, outside observer, you are clearly being too sensitive about a joke obviously meant to satirize hate speech.

I hate JonTron because I physically resemble him (he resembles me to be more precise) but some of his videos are funny, like the Sonic one

For some reason I fucking love his Monster Bash video. I watched it all numerous times and it never gets old. JonTron's videos are pretty good for some "background noise" while I'm working.
