The JonTron Show

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
