The JonTron Show

I've always loved Jon's YouTube show ever since I starting watching it in 2012. He always had his unique, genuine and even now, pretty iconic sense of humor that is well known across the internet. He started his show heavily focused on the world of gaming, yet he still had his wits about him to deliver this in a way that was clearly different compared to other YouTube game reviewers of the time like The Angry Video Game Nerd. His style of humor had a very oddball tone mixed with criticism and positivity at the same time, compared to AVGN's comedic negativity targeted at almost every bad video game he ever reviewed. JonTron would only select materiel that he would know for sure would work with his style and be guaranteed to give his audience a good laugh.

But starting in 2013 after Jon left his channel for a while to work with Arin Hanson on GameGrumps, he returned with a slightly different style to evolve his channel. He would start reviewing game collections instead of just focussing on one or create funny top 10 lists. He started breaking away from gaming, which is understandable since almost everyone on YouTube does that and he wanted to stay unique. He started reviewing movies and nostalgic tv shows to get a laugh out of them

I don't exactly know how or when, but something about his style and delivery of comedy changed around this time, and it hasn't been the same since. I also never really thought that it was a bad thing though, because you cant stay the same forever, and you cant just focus your YouTube career on one topic for years and years without it becoming stale. You should also not just continue a YouTube channel purely out of feeling pressured by your fans. Jon is free to do what he wants, but I can't shake the feeling that the magic of his videos just hasn't feel the same and that the channel is veering of into an undesirable direction.

But whatever direction his channel may take in the future, it's still great to see his face still making waves around the internet instead of not seeing him at all.

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.

This guy is just funny, he reviews interesting things and always makes me laugh. My favorite episode would be the Food Games Reviews, I was on the floor laughing every time and his newer stuff is a little weird but still super entertaining. He tends to review stuff other people don't so he started to move to movies but that's what makes him interesting and I hope for more episodes in the future.

This guy's funny. He has some clever, well written videos that humorously R.I.P. apart notoriously bad video games such as Bubsy 3D. With a voice that sounds like Timon and restless energy, JonTron delivers mostly nonstop laughs with his takes on games and movies that usually earn his wrath. If you like video game reviews or reviews in general check him out.

The JonTron Show, created and hosted by Jon Jafari, is a wildly entertaining YouTube series that blends surreal humor, biting parody, and genuine pop culture commentary. With his unique mix of absurd skits and deadpan delivery, JonTron stands out in the crowded field of internet comedy. His editing style-sharp cuts, exaggerated reactions, and outlandish visual gags-transforms even the most mundane topics into laugh-out-loud entertainment. Whether he's reviewing bizarre infomercials or forgotten video games, Jon's comedic timing and unpredictability keep viewers hooked.

One of his most iconic episodes revolves around Flex Tape, where Jon hilariously dissects Phil Swift's enthusiastic product demonstrations. His over-the-top admiration for Flex Seal, including dramatic reenactments and fake worship, became an internet meme unto itself. Other standout episodes include his look at Kazoo Kid, Bootleg Disney Games, and his surreal dive into Goosebumps VHS tapes. Each video showcases his talent for combining nostalgia with parody, turning obscure or dated content into comedy gold.

What sets JonTron apart is his blend of internet-era absurdity with high-effort production. Despite long gaps between uploads, each episode feels carefully crafted, filled with unexpected twists and bizarre punchlines that reward repeat viewing. His ability to make even the strangest topics feel universally hilarious has earned him a devoted fanbase. The JonTron Show is proof that with the right voice, even a review of cleaning products can become a comedic masterpiece.
