The JonTron Show

JonTron has got to be one of the best solo YouTubers that reviews gaming. He is so witty and damn funny, and he honestly does not even try to be. Jon just has the sense of humour that anybody can enjoy.

Jon Jafari is extremely talented - with an endless knowledge of video games from the beginning of time to the modern era, the greatest sense of humour, the ability to film, edit, direct and star in his show and sings like an angel has just descended from heaven, he combines all of it into a 15 minute gaming review and will leave you laughing from beginning until end.

Although he has left Game Grumps to begin Season Two of JonTron, he hasn't uploaded a JonTron episode in nearly seven months, although plans on real soon. Before he uploads his new material, you must definitely watch all of the old videos he has done. 15 minutes of pure gold!

I give JonTron ... TENOUTTATEN! (This is a Game Grumps reference for those who don't understand).

This is hands down the best review show online. Not only does Jon go out of his way to find the most obscure games possible, going so far as to dig into the sticky depths of Vietnamese bootlegs, but he encourages us to not only a laugh at the terrible quality of these games but develop a feeling of appreciation for the people who made them become a reality.

Why did Beat Takashi make Takashi's Challenge, a game of such absurd difficulty that the only way to win is to watch the Japanese TV commercial he made for the game, which included an important clue? What the heck is Nightshade? Why is it so awkward to play and what were the creators thinking with the bizarre design choices? Why is China so obsessed with loud aggressive background music? Why does Italy have an obsession with animated Titanic movies with talking animals? Jon asks the real questions.

It doesn't hurt that Jon Jafari comes across at that ubiquitous "ideal best friend" we all wish we had. He has that magical something that makes you want to buy a bunch of tacos and just hang out with him for hours, as opposed to many reviewers who make you either want to punch them for being smug or turn off after five minutes for being obnoxious.

My title says it all, though, compared to AVGN, at least JonTron is still doing inspired and interesting content.. Anyways I don't know, this guy's a notch down from Angry Joe, one up from Smugg White the Woz and infinitely irrelevant in my mind compared to Dunkey. Like I said, though, he's miles behind early AVGN, whilst decades ahead of modern AVGN.

Oh and his politics are wack AF but I didn't include that in my review, as he does not include his politics in -his- reviews. Though let me state - the fact that this man (whose name is Jafari) is racist, or xenophobic or whatever, is gross, and I think he shot himself in the balls with his NRA certified when he went on the air that time talkin' deportation this and pro-trump that. Though, like I said, that does not affect his score - on IMDB that is, though let's just say... it effects it elsewhere.. Oh yes.... Heh heh heh....

To make a small statement - I would like to maim him, but I don't wish him any permanent disfigurement, I guess... I suppose.... Though... Ah nevermind it's only fanboyz that read crap like this anyways, so I'm preaching against the converted.

Like most YouTubers in person he seems awkward but on the show when it comes to scripts, delivery and general humour he's always been great. He used to make Game Grumps funny just by improvising (it's very not funny now without him).

An overall great guy who makes great content, though I can't say I'm happy with one video a year or with how he 'moved on' from reviewing retro games into more generic content.

Regardless, the person as well as the character are golden, looking forward to anything he decides to do.

JonTron is one of those rare special things. Something so beautiful and quotable that it becomes part of you. Jon Jafari is one of the greatest comedians of our time (if not the greatest). Words can NOT describe how much of an effect JonTron has had on my life. If there was a 100/10 option, that wouldn't be enough for me.
