Frédéric "Fred" Molas (born 26 November 1982), a.k.a. Le Joueur du Grenier ("The Attic Gamer") is a French YouTube-based retro video game reviewer who plays mostly horrible (and mostly licensed) games since 2009, but also a few merely Nintendo Hard games, with his sidekick Sébastien "Seb" Rassiat (born 12 October 1982). The JdG team received a third member (Karim Debbache, host of Crossed) in early 2013, who mostly serves to write some videos' scenarios and occasionally makes a cameo.note he left the team in 2023 to focus on streaming In late 2019, Sad Panda also joined the team as a manager for planning, casting and production, as well as doing behind-the-scenes videos on recent episodes.He is basically the French equivalent of The Angry Video Game Nerd (although he developed his own style as the videos went on). Prone to getting very, very mad at his video games, he still goes through almost all them, much to his chagrin and to his viewers' amusement.Being born in The '80s and having grown up in The '90s and the Turn of the Millennium, he also made several specials, nostalgic (or not) videos about animes, TV shows and other weird multimedia stuff that aired in those decades. With time his content has become more diversified and less focused on the classic AVGN-style angry videos, which are still present and popular but released far less frequently than before.In 2012, he started a Spin-Off series titled Papy Grenier ("Attic Grandpa"), in which he plays an old bearded (and slightly sociopathic) storyteller who humoristically revisits classic cult games in a 5-6 minutes format.In 2015, he and Seb launched a secondary channel called Bazar du Grenier ("Attic Bazaar"/"Attic Clutter"), where they upload all kinds of videos, ranging from Let's Plays to short movie reviews, future FAQs and blooper videos, and other miscellaneous mini-shows. A notable one is Aventures ("Adventures"), where they, along with other French YouTubers, play a tabletop RPG of their own invention (with visuals provided by the software Roll20). This channel also includes "narrative Let's Plays", mini-series where he and Seb don't just play a game but also enact a whole plot written around the game's mechanicsnote Hence why they choose games that don't have a predetermined plot, like survival, management or strategy games. − usually with a healthy dose of Black Comedy.If you don't speak French, don't worry: most of his videos are subtitled in English on YouTube (though the quality of said subtitles is very hit-and-miss since they're fan-made).A comic book telling his childhood by Piratesourcil came out in 2012 and ended in 2015 after four volumes.In 2012, Fred and Seb made four informative videos about Dragon's Dogma. While these videos aren't technically part of the series, they use the same humor that's featured in their more well-known videos. | |

A Sinister Clue: In one of the DC Comics adaptations episode, there is a flashback during which JdG reminds that Seb holding his boom pole with the wrong hand should have been a warning that something was wrong. The episode began with Seb dressed (and acting) like the Joker. | |

Unreadably Fast Text: During his Ninja Turtles review, a fake ad for the "low hitpoints alert" sound sold as a ringtone is shown. During the ad, a line of text is scrolling at the bottom of the screen, saying, "Really? You have nothing better to do other than reading this scrolling text?" The 2nd RPG special has "If you paused the video to read this, buy yourself a social life." | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_13973747 | comment |
Necro Non Sequitur: Parodied in Bible games, where after receiving an ominous fortune cookie (Respectively "You will die today" for Fred and "The guy to your right will die today" for Seb), Fred tosses the deli chinese food to the trash, but the remaining juice shorts out a power outlet, causing a fire on a nearby curtain that then chews through a rope, releasing an enormous ceiling blade... that misses them both. Then Fred gets a cramp and dies. | |

The Artifact | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The intro sequence shot in Fred's old room, with Fred himself looking very different. The first video of 2015 lampshades it by treating the New Year's resolution of getting a new title sequence with a hearty round of HA HA HA—No. Fred himself has stated that he liked how the opening sequence became less and less representative of the actual show with time, and doesn't want to change it since everybody associates it with him. It doesn't help that the opening's quality has not aged well either: the 11th anniversary special (which was filmed in 4k) briefly displays it in its original 360p glory before a mouse cursor comes in and stretches it to fill the screen. Papy Grenier used to be about an old and decrepit Fred recounting his adventures in 90s-era gaming to his grandchildren. To allow for more modern games (Mass Effect, World of Warcraft...), the grandchildren are now adults dropping off their own children for him to babysit and traumatize. The introduction of Roger Rabbit has footages of a few games Fred tried and didn't keep for the reviews in the final version of the video. Each of them feature animals as player characters, which was the original concept for the video. In the alternate universe opening credits of "Wii Games for Girls", Fred has been replaced by his female alternate universe counterpart, but the original male Fred and Seb plushies can be seen on a shelf. Also, while his face has been replaced in the logo, the title still says "Joueur du Grenier" (masculine form) instead of the feminine form "Joueuse du Grenier" (though this is fixed in the actual video's name on Youtube). | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: The only way to describe JdG's reaction at the end of the Instrument of Chaos review, when he discovers that his grandfather Archibald Von GreNier is in fact AVGN... that is, an alien unrelated to the plot, in a parody of the ending of the fourth Indiana Jones movie. He just stay frozen on the spot with a shocked expression, all the way to the end credits. The stupider moments in the TMNT video cause him to black out with his eyes still open. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: Never lampshaded, but justified when in an out-of-character video, Frédéric mentions that he was moving out of the house where he first started making videos. His new room is decorated so similarly to his old room however, that to an uninformed observer, it appears that his room suddenly went from having a wall on the right to having a wall on the left. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Often. In the girly shows special, when discussing the use of the Almost Dead Guy trope in Lady Georgie. In the 2013 "Fighting Games" video: After a particularly disturbing commercial of an anatomically correct peeing boy doll, he really hopes that's the worst of humanity's rejects. Cut to a pregnant Barbie commercial. In the Dragon Ball review, he mentions that the game is at least somewhat faithful to the series, covering the events of the original manga pretty well. Bulma being kidnapped by a pterodactyl, the meetings with Master Roshi (though Bulma showing her panties was censored to have her give him her meal), Oolong and Yamcha, the adventures in Pilaf's castle... then he gets to the part where Goku goes to the Moon to defeat a white rabbit, which never happened in the manga.note This level is based on the ending of the Boss Rabbit mini-arc, but it's a huge stretch on the game's part as Goku went to the moon to bring the rabbit there and came back in a few panels. Similarly, Fred mentions in the Robin Hood episode that the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves NES adaptation is at least faithful to the plot of the movie. Then a boss fight against a giant skeleton happens. The conclusion of the Eggman Hates Furries segment of the Jeux en Vrac about Sonic fangames: | |

Sadly, the actual uploader did not use the same title as the video. In a much later video, he revisits games he's already reviewed. When Heavy Nova comes up, he mentions that it was a DVD exclusive, so naturally you already saw it on YouTube. | |

The Cameo | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: His Platoon / Metal Gear video ends with an appearance by Doug Walker. In the Road Runner / Taz-Mania video, French Let's Player Bob Lennon appears as a "useless cameo" who shoots himself in the head when asked to testify on how bad the Road Runner game is. Coincidentally, Bob Lennon also appeared along with JdG and Seb in an episode of Noob. On the opposite end of things, he makes a cameo in a video by James Rolfe's co-star Mike Matei on unlicensed NES games, in which he is shown playing a game that Mike couldn't reviewinvoked because it was only released in French (Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque). His Papy Grenier episode about SimCity is full of cameos of French video testers. At the end of the girly cartoons special, when the magical girls crossover suddenly feature a tentacle monster, you naturally have Pedobear leaning in from the edge of the screen. Doug Walker again, Bob Lennon, and Frédéric Zolfanelli (Sparadrap from Noob) in the Elite Force Navy Seals/GIGN Anti-Terror Force video. The 2013 "Fighting Games" video features most of the NESBlog team, Antoine Daniel, and Benzaie and Bob Lennon (only in the multiple ending). The DC Comics adaptations video opens with Seb (dressed as the Joker and seconded by a Harley Quinn copy) torturing Marcus, while Duck-Man is fighting against Usul and Karim Debbache, respectively dressed as Spirou and Tintin. This is lampshaded shortly afterwards. The Home Alone review has vocal cameos, from Brigitte Lecordier and Benoît Allemane, known as the French voices of Son Goku and Morgan Freeman respectively. Subverted in the Instruments of Chaos video. The YouTube video's description announces that the video may include a famous cameo... Then, in the ending, Archibald von Grenier happens to be AVGN under a disguise. The AVGN theme begins to be played when JdG realizes that there was a clue in the initials, then Archibald reveals his true identity: Alpha V from GelgaNek, an alien who is unrelated with the Angry Video Game Nerd. The Daemon Summoner video has Benzaie reusing one of his Hard Corner characters (a video-game developer), complete with said character's Catchphrase ("but... it's beyond comprehension!"). The 'Harry Potter'' video has Benzaie, Bob Lennon, Bruce Benamran, Cyprien, Linksthesun and other French youtubers. Antoine Daniel as a Nick Fury expy at the end of the Men In Black video and during the 11th Anniversary episode. One of the enemies showing up during the rail-shooter sequence at the end of "Games and Metal" is Archibald Von Grenier. Two in the 11th anniversary episode: Viceroy Frangipanus (the galette) is dubbed by voice-acting legend Richard Darbois (official dubber of pretty much every movie star you can think of, and countless animated characters such as the Genie from Aladdin or Buzz Lightyear), solely because Fred "enjoyed wasting his money". JdG's fully admitted inspiration from the The Angry Video Game Nerd comes full circle with a cameo of the Nerd himself. | |

Visual Pun: In the Papy Grenier episode about Roller Coaster Tycoon, when at the end Grenier phones home and casually says that he lost another business again, he is suspended to a golden parachute. In the embassy party in the Mission Impossible video, when Fred enters the server room, he's greeted by two waiters ("server" and "waiter" are the same word in French). In the same scene, the nibbles look like tiny ovens (the French word for a nibble is "petit four", which literally means "small oven"). In the same video, he comes into possession of a microfilm, which is an ant-sized VHS. Which he watches on an ant-sized TV while nibbling on ant-sized popcorn. The sponsored ad for zombie game State of Survival (opening of the ER-themed Jeux en Vrac) uses a similar "server-waiter" gag: when Seb mentions one of the game's features is "server vs server" PVP, this is illustrated onscreen by two waiters hitting each other with their tray. In the Daikatana video, at one point Fred says, "I'm going to be transparent with you..." Only for him to turn translucid, grinning at his own joke. | |

Stealth Pun: The Tomb Raider game features a thief in bright red clothing named Carmen, who runs into the skeletons of Diego and Dora, and says she'll have to do without him from now on. In French, "Carmen Sandiego" is phonetically identical to "Carmen sans Diego" ("Carmen without Diego"). | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: Played for laughs in the beginning of the Total Recall / Predator review, when picking up a cart triggers some. It also doubles as a sort of Shout-Out to Death Note, since said Latin chanting comes from this anime. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Seeing The Angry Video Game Nerd as the alternate company... JdG is the equivalent of the Nerd (bespectacled geeks who review bad old video games and get angry), Seb is the equivalent of Mike Matei (the assistant who likes to annoy the main character), Infogrames is the equivalent of LJN (a rainbow-themed video game company that is repeatedly behind bad games the reviewer is covering) and David Goodenough is the equivalent of Fred Fuchs (name taken from a video game's credits and used as a scapegoat character for a bad game's flaw). | |

Eat the Bomb | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_202ce3e0 | comment |
Eat the Bomb: In Taz-Mania, Taz automatically eats any interactive object he steps on, including bombs (it hurts him but is not an insta-kill). What annoys JdG is where the developers chose to put the bombs: behind pillars and right where you're expected to land when jumping (not unlike the invisible coin blocks in Platform Hell games). | |

Black Comedy | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: When reviewing China Syndrome on Atari 2600, he argues about the plot being "completely unrealistic". The video was posted in April 2011 and said plot involves a nuclear incident triggered by an earthquake somewhere in Asia... The intentional irony is made even more unsettling by a unusual camera angle while he is saying this. Another example in his Addams Family games review when Seb gives him another game while wearing white all over his face and a bald cap, looking like Uncle Fester. The JDG: La Revanche video about Airwolf starts with fake Airwolf credits, which end with "Created by Stevie Ray Balavoine". The episodes post-2013 (around the time Fred lost weight) tend to be more heavy with dark humor, such as Duckman and Night Eagle ruthlessly murdering a bunch of grade schoolers playing laser tag because they thought they were the Riddler's underlings. The Bazaar videos like Random Games and Narrative Let's Plays, even more so. The video game commercials special has a sequence mocking French ads for the The Sims (commented gameplay footages, ending with a photograph of the real player) by creating a fake ad consisting of shots of an empty, silent Sims house, followed by the portrait of Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès.note A mysterious criminal affair which happened in 2011 France. Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès is the patriarch of a family who was murdered, and their corpses where found buried in their home under a terrace, but there was no trace of the father himself, who is strongly suspected of being the murderer. A decade later, the case is still unsolved and Dupont de Ligonnès' fate is still unknown. | |

Creator's Apathy | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_265112ff | comment |
Creator's Apathy: Occasionally used In-Universe. David Goodenough is the lazy video-game developer, occasionally with disastrous consequences. His exploits include been involved in a nuclear explosion (no details given) and contributing to the The Great Video Game Crash of 1983 because of his poor job on the ET adaptation on the Atari 2600. The only commentary he makes about the quality of Daemon Summoner is "Hey, it's not so bad, and at least the box closes correctly." The whole Mid-Review Sketch Show for the Daemon Summoner video imagines the creation of the game, with David Goodenough as the project manager, Jean-Michel Bruitages for the sound effects, a BDSM guy responsible for quality control (who seems delighted to find the game so awful), a drug-addicted accountant who oversees the development's budget (and dies from an overdose before the end), and a kindergarten class as the scriptwriter. | |

There is even a jingle for Infogrames games now (on the tune of Patrick Sébastien's "Le Petit Bonhomme en mousse"). | |

Vocal Evolution: Fred's voice became softer and more high-pitched when he lost weight, which also affected his comedic style somewhat (he screams less, for example). His southern accent also became less pronounced after he moved to Brittany. When commenting his earlier videos, Fred mentions his voice was more nasal in because he often was sick with a cold when he was fat. | |

Adapted Out: Some of the films/video games parody lack a counterpart for major characters from the original work. The Harry Potter Special has stand-in of Harry, Hermione, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Lockart, Snape, the Fat Lady, and the Sorting Hat, but there's no stand-in for the character of Ron Weasley. The Skyrim parody in the first RPGs special only features expies of the Dragonborn, the Greybeards, and an unammed dragon. The Ghostbusters parody features Fred, Seb, and recurring extra Sushi respectively cast as the counterparts of Ray, Peter, and Winston, but there's no counterpart to Egon. | |

Papy Grenier's Resident Evil episode replaces Jill Valentine with "Gilles Valentin", played of course by Seb. In the narrative parts of the Tomb Raider video, Fred's character stands for Lara Croft. He is named "Laurent Croft" (Laurent is a French male given name, equivalent to "Lawrence") and sports Lara's iconic haircut. (The video also contains several short gags mocking flaws of the Tomb Raider franchise, in which Lara is played by a female extra.) | |

In Instruments of Chaos, at the end of each stage you have exactly one chance to beat a boss in order to prevent a Mad Scientist to give a weapon to the German (which equip a Zeppelin serving as the final boss); failure doesn't trigger a Game Over and allows to continue the game. JdG initially thinks that, depending on the bosses you actually beats and those you failed to beat, the final boss' power would change. It actually doesn't alter anything, the zeppelin always has all of the weapons. | |

Un-Installment: All game footage from his intro comes from his earliest episodes, except for the brief moment when Goonies II is shown. According to theinvoked Word of Grenier, a Goonies II review was cancelled during its production, because they felt the end result wasn't as good as the other episodes. It is finally reviewed in April 2016... except it is actually a pretty good game, so Grenier immediately switches to X-Perts, after just quickly pointing out a few flaws. | |

Misaimed Marketing | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_390af0b4 | comment |
Misaimed Marketing: invoked JdG comments on this about how Cool World, a movie that's quite adult, has so many Licensed Games, which you'd expect would be mostly played by children. "The Worst Toys" includes a few examples of marketing disasters. The most blatant was probably the release of a Médecins Sans Frontières action figure line, intended to make children more aware of humanitarian crises in Africa... but also happened to be roughly the same size as G.I. Joe toys, meaning that kids could now include African civilian victims in their war scenes. Fun for everybody! The episode about RoboCop games opens with Fred commenting the 1980s trend to produce toys and videogames based on ultraviolent movies (mentioning The Terminator and RoboCop as examples of the phenomenon), pointing out the oddity of setting children as the intended target of merchandising based of movies they're not supposed to have watched. | |

Poe's Law | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_3950c1f0 | comment |
Poe's Law: In his superhero episode, JdG doesn't seem to grasp that all the absurdity in Batman: The Movie was one of the selling points of those days' Batman. Then again, it might be deliberate. What would he get angry at, otherwise? Same thing in the commercials episode, with him ranting against the toilet paper ad that's in the style of a musical, while this ad is very obviously quite parodic and tongue-in-cheek in the first place. In the "Games Based on the Bible" episode, Fred introduces The You Testament segment by stating he hesitated about reviewing it, because he initially thought it was "a troll game", before concluding it actually expressed sincere views from its creator. The review itself clearly shows this game is such a surreal, confusing mess that it somehow makes more sense as a parody. | |

RPG 2 and RPG 3 feature an evil sorcerer introduced as The Man Behind the Man but who never interacts with the main characters. The Anniversary video, a sequel/finale for several story arcs including the RPG videos, doesn't feature him.note Since they're both antagonists played by Bob Lennon, some viewers speculated the sorcerer was George Yunohu. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Often used for parody. On playing a Road Runner game that requires you to move as slowly as you can to avoid obstacles, Fred mentions that it'd be like playing a Mario game where you can't jump. Cue Mario jumping from a block six feet off the ground and breaking his leg. In the opening of the Hook/Beetlejuice episode, Fred is the host for Un dîner presque parfait (French equivalent of Come Dine With Me), and makes a Hook-themed evening. Which consists in a make-believe meal followed by an insult contest. The guests don't get it is based on a film and just believe Fred is insane. The sponsored ad at the beginning of the first part of the 11th Anniversary video has Captain NordVPN promoting his product next to a ticking bomb next to a tied woman, which prevents him to actually save the woman because the bomb goes off. Then, the sponsored ad at the beginning of the second part has Captain NordVPN tried for the homicide of the aforementioned woman, and the recording of the previous ad serves as proof against him. The second World of Tanks sponsored ad features Fred as a Nazi officer scolding a child playing with a toy tank in a park. The child runs to a cop. The Robin Hood parody has a scene where Marian sends a messenger pigeon to warn Robin Hood of the Sheriff's plan. Not a written message carried by the pigeon, but an oral message the bird is supposed to repeat. Robin didn't receive the message, because people aren't able to talk to animals... | |

Blatant Lies: During The Legend of Zelda: Faces of Evil review, JdG says he broke his CD-i controller, the other one he had he lost, and Seb finally got him one, after which he thanks Seb. During the speech, a Photo Montage is shown, where JdG deliberately throws the other CD-i controller away and when Seb finds him one, JdG runs after Seb with a rifle and tries to shoot him. In the Phoenix Games video, Fred confronts the employee in the video game store he's a regular of, suspecting being sold crappy video games for the last 13 years is part of a conspiracy. The man laughts it off (in a very unconvincing tone), then a camera watching on the store and three guys in Conspicuous Trenchcoat immediately answers there's no conspiracy. | |

In the French version of Skyrim, "Dragonborn" is translated as "Enfant de dragon" (literally: "child of dragon"). Here, JdG is called "Enfant de juron" ("child of swear word"). Cue wearing a horned helmet and shouting (French) insults like Thu'ums. | |

Meanwhile, in the Future…: While reviewing the third Teenage Mutant Turtles movie, JdG comments "At the same time, in the past..." then realizes what he just said is absurd. Also used in the Terminator review, with the intro happening "Today... in the future." | |

Revealing Continuity Lapse | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_465b8fcd | comment |
Revealing Continuity Lapse: Played for Laughs in an episode that gives advice on making your own webseries, especially avoiding this kind of error: the scene plays out as a dialogue with the camera switching to each character as they speak, and every switch features a blatantly obvious error (the background goes from a kitchen to a veranda, a cell phone becomes a banana, one guy's Cool Shades become an enormous pair of novelty sunglasses, etc.), but the one they focus on is that a drawer in the background is closed in one shot and ajar in another. And of course, Fred is bareheaded in the first shot and wearing a wig in the last one where he tells viewers to watch out for such basic mistakes. | |

Also his pointy ears keep falling off. Subverted in Mission: Impossible. Fred with the cartoony plastic schnoz and fake mustache really is the ambassador. Ethan is the woman in the party dress. | |

In the 2nd RPG special, where the party thief is Karim Debbache (who's of North-African descent). He promptly realizes the problem and tells the others to get fucked. Behind the Maps: Hyrule has a bit of fun with the Gerudo, blaming systemic racism for their reputation as "the people of desert thieves" and not the fact that they actually are desert thieves, and claiming that Zelda has racist tendencies due to her immediate distrust of the only brown guy in the Hylian court. | |

Rebuilt Pedestal: JdG is a big fan of The Angry Video Game Nerd. So when James Rolfe's friend Mike Matei accused JdG of plagiarizing AVGN (comparing him to The Irate Gamer and calling him a "fucking bum" in the process), he was reportedly rather bummed out. Later, JdG posted a comment on one of his videos saying he talked it out with Mike, and that Mike's not a bad person after all. The reconciliation was officially confirmed when JdG made a humorous cameo in Mike Matei's video "NES Reproductions by Mike" and solidified years later with a cameo of the Nerd himself in the 11th Anniversary episode. | |

Formerly Fat: Fred lost some weight in 2013note in a 2020 interview, he estimates he lost about 60 kilograms in two years, the "boring FAQ" says this was for health reasons (compare the earlier logo◊). Curiously, this coincides with a change of tone in the latest videos, where he looks and sound more frowning and blasé, and generally meaner. In the October 2018 FAQ, after being asked about the wedding ring he started to wear since a couple of month ago, after answering the question, Fred added he was wondering if in FAQs "hey! you have a wedding ring now" isn't going to become the new "hey! you lost weight!" he was asked often. He also pointed that, by now, he has been Formerly Fat in the series for longer than he was actually fat. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Earliest episodes had no intro, very few sketches involving special effects (except for the parts where JdG destroys games) and Seb was mostly silent (and when he talked, he had his regular voice). AVGN-inspired elements were also much more pronounced, with JdG being angrier, often sporting the same angry expression as the AVGN, and finished most episodes by destroying the game(s) he reviewed. During the first few episodes, there was an open laptop on the small table in front of the JdG. Fred himself later admitted he had no idea why it was there, since he never even used it to look up the script because it was too noisy to keep on during filming. Those early episodes often referenced events that happened in older ones, in order to establish some kind of solid continuity. Fred decided to give up on this, as most viewers wouldn't necessarily view them in order. The early episodes/seasons were openly aimed at an audience that was of Fred's generation, and so he made a lot of sincere nostalgic references to '80s/'90s French kids. In later seasons, he obviously aims for a Younger and Hipper audience and when he makes this kind of reference — that has now become less frequent — it would usually be done with sarcasm and self-depreciation. When Jean-Michel Bruitage first appeared, he kept his eyes open and was slightly expressive. Later on, he'd have his Eyes Always Shut and be The Stoic. | |

Unreliable Voiceover: JdG's voiceover warmly thanks Seb for finding extra controllers so he can finish a detestable game after his own breaks down. The images on screen show him running after Seb with a rifle in hand. | |

Body Horror: At one point in The Addams Family special, Seb shows up to Fred with very pale skin, dark undereyes and bald head, Fred assumes he's disguised as Uncle Fester, they both laugh, then Seb reveals that he actually has cancer, and they laugh again before Fred realizes it's not funny. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: In Fallout 3, Papy Grenier decided to nuke a city because he couldn't kill the children in it. In Castlevania, Belmont slaughtered Dracula and his guests because he's their neighbour and their party's music was too loud. | |

Affably Evil: Played with in the special episode about cartoons adapted from video games. While covering Sonic Underground, JdG notes in a Faux Horrific tone that baby Manic has been taken by an evil kidnapper... who rears him correctly... followed by a skit with Seb playing a villain who says the following: In Castlevania, Dracula's vampire guests and the Grim Reaper may be supernatural monsters, but in the context of the video itself they're just a group of nice people having fun at a party. | |

The Internet Is for Porn: Invoked when JdG mentions that the premise of Captain N: The Game Master wouldn't work today: a skit shows "Kevin" getting sucked into the Internet through his computer screen and then yelling: "Oh my God, there's porn everywhere!" In the Papy Grenier about Metal Gear Solid, Papy Grenier reaches the point in his story where he fights Psycho Mantis, who's known for reading the player's memory card. One of Papy Grenier's grandchildren says it's a good thing that the game isn't on PC. Cue a skit of Psycho Mantis reading the player's internet history and being disgusted. | |

AlternateCharacterInterpretation | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: Occasionally invoked. Papy Grenier presents a different interpretation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Hyrule as an urban ghetto, the Deku Tree as a pedophile ("I love having small children inside me! I give 'em my nuts!") and Zelda as a white trash bitch. In the Who Framed Roger Rabbit video, Fred notices that you play as Eddie Valiant while being constantly followed by a Roger Rabbit who never interacts with anyone or anything while some plot coupons must be found in trashbins. He wonders if the game is supposed to be the story of a semi-homeless and crazy detective suffering from heavy hallucination caused by all the random trash he ate in trashcans, Roger Rabbit being his imaginary friend. | |

Plot Coupon | |

Alex Kidd in High Tech World seemed especially infamous to him. For example, the last Plot Coupon of the first level is hidden in one of the clocks hanging from the ceiling in each floor of the castle. Also, the third level (in which Alex Kidd must find a way to receive a coupon to enter an arcade game room) features two seemingly coherent way (by speaking to several NPCs to acquire items), but both eventually trigger a Non-Standard Game Over when the coupon is given to the guard at the end of the level. The correct way to receive the coupon is to pray one hundred times in the village temple. | |

Bat Deduction: In the test of The Legend of Zelda: Faces of Evil, this is how he finds the solution to unlock a door after listening to a really obscure hint in a dialog. He then says that it was a joke: he was stuck there and was forced to read a walkthrough. The Trope Namer itself is featured in the review of Batman: The Movie, causing a serious breakdown. Ironically, JdG (or rather, Duck-Man) makes one such deduction himself in the DC Comics games episode. Since the least awful of the games tested by Seb was Aquaman, then Joker-Seb must be hiding... under the sea. | |

Spoofy-Doo: The Mid-Review Sketch of the Scooby-Doo episode consists in the Scooby-Gang investigating a museum, and the silliness of the franchise is drastically increased. Fred is an idiot (and is eventually revealed to be the real villain after a parody of the usual unmasking scene - he even had an accomplice, which was another Fred), the reason the museum is currently closed is completely mundane and sensible (it's 11 pm on a Sunday), the villain's scheme is to raze the museum to build another museum at the same place, Daphne and Fred's body language hint at them hating each othernote This is a remnant from an earlier version of the script, where Fred and Daphne had very recently broken up and regularly throw bitter words at each other, and Velma is so frustrated by the other members' stupidity she's alcoholic. | |

Ninja Prop | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_5e34c0c8 | comment |
Ninja Prop: A casting variation in "El Presidente", the Bazar du Grenier Let's Play for Tropico 5. Since all the web videos work on a limited cast, it's quite usual for Fred to play several roles. So it's a genuine surprise when the older CIA instructor who narrate the whole story as a Framing Device and the CIA spy who got captured by Garavo's regime in the '50s happen to be actually the same person. The Rambo parody is touted as having camouflage skills good enough to make him practically invisible. It later turns out he hides behind a green screen. | |

Audience-Alienating Premise | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_5eb3a0a0 | comment |
Audience-Alienating Premise: In-Universe. Brought up in his review of the video game adaptation of Cool World: In the episode about Merchandise-Driven shows, Grenier "admits" that Joueur du Grenier is itself the Merchandise-Driven show of a line of pull-ring dolls, then wonders why said dolls never really took off. Given that the lines they say are jokes of dubious taste, it's no wonder that kids didn't like them. | |

Nerds Are Virgins: Used as a reason for the superiority of video-game RPGs to the tabletop version: the NPC asks a question to the female party member (Fred in a Girlish Pigtails wig), who answers, "I don't know, I'm on my period, teehee!" Awkward silence ensues. | |

Not Distracted by the Sexy: When JdG and other friends play the fighting game Bikini Karate Babes, they are not enthralled by the skimpily-dressed sexualized women at all, looking rather bored instead and making comparisons to auto expos. Only Seb seems to react in accordance, by throwing bills as if to a stripper, but not looking happy doing it. A zipping sound is heard, but it's just one of the guys putting on his raincoat to leave. Later, during a game about construction vehicle combat, we hear another zipper, but it's not a raincoat... | |

His December 2017 review of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe points out the series' own shitloads of homoerotic subtext. In a 2018 FAQ, one question is about Fred wearing a wedding ring. Fred starts by jokingly answering Seb and him are indeed now married. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Unlike the ruthless, if not sadistic yet visibly competent rulers from the Bazar's other narrative Let's Plays, there is Antonio Garavo, El Presidente of Tropico. He looks at first glance like a well-meaning but bumbling and pretty inept demagogue who loves making bloated and rather silly speeches (like praising the emancipatory virtues of bananas), wrote what can be charitably described as softcore-porn James Bond self-insert fanfictions while fancying himself as such a great writer of spy fiction that he made Tropican children learn reading with the aforementioned books, and at times seems more interested in crafting and testing new smoothies than actually governing his country. Yet at the same time, he manages to be constantly reelected without rigging elections, thwarts so many attempted invasions, rebellions and military coups than by the late fifties, they have become so much a routine that the very blasé president is watching and commenting them from his palace balcony, managed to build a spy network efficient enough to teach him a bunch of US military secrets (which he then spills during interviews), and despite the state of nearly constant civil war manages to maintain a functioning economy and advanced research infrastructure which allows Tropico to build a working nuclear power plant one year BEFORE the Shippingport Atomic Power Station goes online.Of course, since the eighth episode reveals that the CIA instructor whose classes serve as the Framing Device of the series was turned into a pro-Tropico Deep Cover Agent by Garavo's very lenient penal policy and liberal use of smoothies, the whole series might be an elaborate propaganda ploy meant to make the young recruits — as well as the audience — sympathetic to Tropico's strongman. Overlaps with Beware the Silly Ones: whether he's a Wide-Eyed Idealist who nonetheless excels at politics, a Machiavellian strongman who managed to plant a Double Agent at the heart of the CIA where he uses his Servile Snarker schtick about the great many times the USA failed to live up to its lofty principles to make the next generation of recruits less than enthusiastic about helping overthrow El Presidente or both at the same time, he's way more formidable than his bumbling outward personality hints at. | |

Bottle Episode | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_62907b90 | comment |
Bottle Episode: The Dragon's Lair: The Legend (August 2019), Nintendo accessories (March 2020) and second FMV games (April 2020) episodes are shorter than average, they feature no Mid-Review Sketch Show and much less extras than usual. Fred explains he has deliberately made less ambitious than usual episodes in order to save time to be able to work on the special episode celebrating the channel's 10th anniversary, while being able to release normal JdG episodes at all.note It actually didn't work. Dragon's Lair: The Legend saved a couple days, but not enough to be really useful, the second video was released a dozen days before France decreed containment measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, and the third video was made and released during the lockdown, making the whole question a moot point because the containment prevents Fred and Seb from meeting the extras and shoot their scenes. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: At the start of the Home Alone review, JdG looks at something on the right page of his notebook, which is centered on the screen. If you look at the left page, it's written "Plagiarize the AVGN"note A nod to Mike Matei's accusation of JdG being a copycat of James and "Kill Antoine Daniel". Whenever you see Unreadably Fast Text slipping by, you can expect to see a joke in there, like random names (existing or not), or sentences along the line of "Don't you have anything better to do than to pause the video to read this?" The Nightmare Circus one comments that your eyes must hurt like hell. The video on getting a tax cut on charitable donations has an inbox filled with porn site spam. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In Instruments of Chaos, at the end of each stage you have exactly one chance to beat a boss in order to prevent a Mad Scientist to give a weapon to the German (which equip a Zeppelin serving as the final boss); failure doesn't trigger a Game Over and allows to continue the game. JdG initially thinks that, depending on the bosses you actually beats and those you failed to beat, the final boss' power would change. It actually doesn't alter anything, the zeppelin always has all of the weapons. When reviewing the PC adaptation of Ghostbusters II, Fred notices the game features sequences where failure sends the current player character to the asylum, which in-game results in a screen of a newspaper featuring Winston's mugshot, regardless of the Ghostbusters' member who has actually been arrested. ER has a NPC praising the player character's skill in emergency medicine, at the exact time one of the latter's patients is dying onscreen. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: Invoked. Fred notes during his review of the Fort Boyard point'n click that the game is indecisive whether In-Universe Fort Boyard exists as a Show Within a Show (the protagonist is explicitly mentioned to be a former contestant, technical locals for the show's creation can be entered when the player character goes back to the Fort), or if the Fort Boyard mythology is real (Père Fourras isn't a character in costume but a kind of ghost guardian of the Fort). In Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, Fred notes Lara Croft is inexplicably alive and no reason is given, despite being a sequel of another installment ending with Lara's apparent death. He also points out the actual explanation for her survival is in a Dummied Out cutscene.invoked In Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, there's a scene where a policeman shots a zombie in flame. Fred immediately points out he had no reason to assume the zombie wasn't just a severely injured person, because it happens before Raccoon City police knew there were zombies in the town. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: In the first Dragon Ball film reviewed, Master Roshi now wants to see Bulma naked. Oolong (who was introduced as wanting to marry a clearly underaged girl) jumps in to condemn this disgusting behavior. | |

Serious Business | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Serious Business: Often discussed during the old anime/cartoon specials, especially when a protagonist does ludicrous or self-destructive things simply to do a relatively mundane thing. In the 6th generation special, Seb identifies the Beverly Hills Cop theme as "Crazy Frog". In response, Fred pulls out the shotgun. "The Console Wars" has Seb and Fred kidnap the mailman to deliver a multi-hour lecture on the respective superiority of Sega and Nintendo consoles. | |

Welcome to Corneria | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6d07bf85 | comment |
Welcome to Corneria: Averted in the Alex Kidd review, where trying to get past the guard three times results in him stabbing you. Cut to a Mass Effect-like dialogue tree, where Seb talks to JdG just to end the conversation immediately, and on the third try JdG shoots him. Also parodied in the RPG video, after the Greybeard is done delivering his information. Discussed in the 2nd RPG video where he notes that the developers of Super Hydlide didn't even bother to do that for most of the NPCs, resulting in a lot of people answering with "!?......", which he represents with a Tim Taylor-esque grunt. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: During the girly shows special, after witnessing footage of Ai Shite Night. Not the anime, but the diabetes-inducing Italian live series. Some way into The Legend of Zelda: Faces of Evil, Grenier idly ponders what Nintendo could have thought of this game. Cue a clip of a samurai committing Seppuku. In the Batman: The Movie review, after the "porpoise incident" (and a long series of Beats), the scriptwriter (Seb) shoots himself in the mouth. | |

Punny Name: In Mission: Impossible, Fred plays an Ethan Hunt expy named "Méthane" (methane gas), which would have been "Ethyne" in the English subs. In the Tomb Raider video, Fred mentions Lara's stiff maniability is one of the negative points of the first game, then mocks it as "Tomb Raideur" (the French word "Raideur" is pronounced exactly like "Raider" in English, and means "stiffness"). | |

Deconstructive Parody | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6dcbe9aa | comment |
Deconstructive Parody: The JdG enjoys transposing video game clichés into real life. In the Zelda-CDi video, he puts a bomb next to a cracked wall in his house, blows it up Zelda-style, and enters what appears to be a secret room... In the Papy Grenier video about Pokémon Red and Blue, he states that most of the NPCs who stand still outside die en masse when winter comes. He also notes that, during a duel between two Pokémon trainers, the winner takes the money of his opponent... he notes that this could be called "racketeering". In the Papy Grenier video about SimCity, the transposition into reality of a way to play the game makes him (as the Mayor) acting as a Stalin-like dictator with supernatural powers who sometimes unleashes disasters on his town For the Evulz. In the simulators video, during Seb's review of Toilet Tycoon, it is noted that the player can build golden or emerald toilet bowls with silk or mink fur toilet paper. Which leads to this sentence: Later in the same video, during the review of the ambulance simulator game, after noting that no matter how bad the player drives the ambulance, it doesn't affect the patient health: The Papy Grenier episode about Zelda focuses on Link's strange behavior, and the negative effects it has on everybody's lives... except for the potter, whose business boomed ever since Link arrived in Hyrule. The Resident Evil video may in fact have been Papy Grenier slaughtering his way through a big house filled with stoned hippies. Not that he cares. In the sport cartoons video, JdG notices how the recurring and long flashback scenes during the soccer parts of Captain Tsubasa are distracting, by showing JdG (dressed as a soccer player) having a flashback while running... and eventually leaving the soccer field without noticing it. In the second FAQ, JdG states that he stopped playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim before finishing it because his player character became too powerful and he finally got bored. He then states that after killing all those dragons and absorbing their souls, digesting dragon souls probably becomes painful. Cue a sequence with Seb dressed as Dovhakiin and slaying his 500th dragon, then absorbing its soul... and becoming sick (complete with a distorted version of the game's main theme, while Seb is vomiting). In the Final Fantasy VII themed Papy Grenier, he comments how dumb the "victory dance" concept is (at the end of the fights) by showing Cloud unintentionally beheading his squad-mates with his BFS while performing it. In the beginning of the Mid-Review Sketch for Enter the Matrix, the characters' gaits when they leave the room has them awkwardly waddling with crumpled leather's noises, because the leather outfits are too tigh to allow them to walk normally. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: JdG gets stuck at the beginning of the last level in Astérix and the Great Rescue. The way to get past the wall is quite wall-banging, indeed. The enigmas in Excalibur 2555 A.D. are non-logical, meaning if a single little item is missing or you don't know its use, you can't finish a level. And some of them require combining items. This happens to him a lot because in a lot of retro games, most of the plot was explained in the manual, but since he lost/lacks the manual for most of his games and the games themselves rarely give any indication as to what the player is supposed to do... It gets particularly bad in the first level of Platoon on NES, where you must find your way in a forest where every screen is nearly identical, and there is absolutely no indication on which way you're supposed to go. The actual path is so complicated that it's impossible to find it without a guide. Alex Kidd in High Tech World seemed especially infamous to him. For example, the last Plot Coupon of the first level is hidden in one of the clocks hanging from the ceiling in each floor of the castle. Also, the third level (in which Alex Kidd must find a way to receive a coupon to enter an arcade game room) features two seemingly coherent way (by speaking to several NPCs to acquire items), but both eventually trigger a Non-Standard Game Over when the coupon is given to the guard at the end of the level. The correct way to receive the coupon is to pray one hundred times in the village temple. | |

Shut Up, Kirk!: When playing The You Testament, JdG's character (modeled on Broly) runs out of Sanity Meter right next to Jesus and (now outside player control) attacks him. Jesus responds with an epic speech on how lashing out when you're hurt will only hurt you more... and then the character resumes attacking Jesus. | |

"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_72757e0d | comment |
"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: In the "2D to 3D" episode, the opening of Mortal Kombat: Special Forces is shown with a disclaimer "No, this ain't edited, it's the game's real intro sequence." In the "girly shows" special, a shot of Hashizo and his cat grinning very creepily is accompanied by "Psycho" Strings and a "non-edited image" message. Home Alone 2's loooong elevator sequences have a disclaimer stating it's the real length of the cutscene. When Seb summarizes the absurd plot of Stargazer, a disclaimer saying "this is the real scenario of the game" shows up on screen, while Grenier sports a very strained, fake smile. X-Perts also have a disclaimer when pirating a computer, which takes several minutes with no input at all from the player. In the Ganso Saiyuuki: Super Monkey Daibouken segment of the Famicom video, he introduces a game's obscene Easter Egg by a screen which reads "Message from the developers... (really for real)". Fred has to repeat several times that he's not making this up when describing the Massive Multiplayer Crossover of the Mondo World series, which is indeed an unbelievable mess. During the scene in the Mondo version of the Old Testament where Adam and Eve are fighting dinosaurs, discovering fire, and making spears, a message appears on the bottom of the screen reading "You are still watching an animated adaptation of the Bible." When reviewing dating game Man Enough (first FMV episode), Fred plays the game's player character asking a young woman: "Excuse me, miss, you're really lovely. Are you a porn actress?" This is immediately followed by a message stating it's a real line from the game. During the second parter of the 11 years anniversary, when reviewing Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Fred shows footage of him holding the controller but not pushing any buttons while the game plays itself in the background and insists that "it's not a montage. I haven't touched any button during the last 30 seconds and the game plays itself". In the special Jeux en Vrac about Peter Molyneux, Fred mentions Molyneux managed the development of some of his later games as a "creative director" by going to the office unannounced and asking his developers to add features or plot points that came right out of the blue. Cue Fred reenacting one of such events (about Fable II), while the message "This is a real anecdote" is written in the bottom of the screen. Fred explaining the player character's stats in the Jeux en Vrac about the ER adaptation: The Idol Manager' video has a variation where Fred holds up a sign reading "I'M TALKING ABOUT A VIDEO GAME" when discussing which stats are better for your female characters, how to get better results from them, or other sentences that would get him lynched in the streets if taken out of context. | |

Cue a Saint Seiya action figure next to a Action Man one. | |

It backfired. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: JdG wears a yellow shirt when he reviews bad games, a blue-white shirt when he reviews cartoons and other non-game media, an orange one when he is playing a good game (or pretending to) or playing Papy Grenier, a black one (when he's terribly depressed) and whatever he wants when he's out of character or during the Bazar du Grenier videos. He sometimes "magically" changes his shirt when he switches topics to keep this theme consistent. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_75f626a5 | comment |
Nostalgia Filter: Completely averted since Grenier's specialty is to test old and bad video games. He is quick to remind the audience that the earlier video games didn't have many Anti-Frustration Feature that nowadays would be taken for granted, such as characters automatically facing the opponent in fighting games, that they usually cost an arm or that with the lack of Internet it was very easy to be fooled into buying a bad game. Also averted when it comes ot the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) cartoon. While he has made it clear he is a huge fan of the franchise, Fred makes it clear in the special dedicated to the series that it was quite bad, and that most people complaining about newer series not being as good are mostly speaking from a perspective heavily clouded by nostalgia. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_762b9223 | comment |
Played for Laughs. The Star Wars episode is pretty much a 20-minute ad for the Zozan Kebab, located in Fred's town. The alien rebels have their base in it, and Fred and Seb are given kebabs instead of a medal at the end. They have to make it clear in a disclaimer that the show isn't sponsored by Zozan. However, Fred stated on Twitter that it did increase the Kebab's clientele, with the owner none the wiser. | |

Relax-o-Vision: An audio example in the Captain Planet review. After Fred dies in That One Level, he stays still for a few seconds before unleashing an absolute deluge of obscenities. We only hear the beginning of it before sound is replaced by a small musical piece... which proceeds to end too soon, allowing us to get another glimpse at it before it restarts. "Oops, it seems this musical piece wasn't long enough." When JdG mentions that one of the objectives in Brad Stallion is to hump a sheep, the action is censored by a montage of flowers, as Grenier's horrified screams can be heard. | |

Sore Loser: In the 2nd "Fighting Games" video, we have Dorian from 3615 Usul who spits on Usul offscreen after losing to him, and Seb who's beating up the console with a baseball bat. Fred himself as the JdG often throws a tantrum whenever he fails at a particular game. Though considering the games he has to play, it's hard to blame him. He also downplays it in his regular let's plays, usually by claiming he doesn't understand the controls or blaming random mechanics. | |

Cultural Translation: Referred in the Last Battle video.

The game has been released in Europe and North America under the title Last Battle, with a lot of alteration in the dialogues and character names (and a few in their appearance), making it unrelated to its original material. | |

Amalgamated Individual: In the JdG universe, the same company is singlehandedly responsible for every mediocre-to-bad video game there is, aptly named Bad Games, Inc.: David Goodenough (the name of an actual developer on X-Perts) became a recurring character when reimagined as an apathetic project leader with a Meaningful Name, responding to any criticism with a shrug and pointing out a Trivially Obvious positive point about the game (such as "the box closes correctly"). It reached the point where the actual David Goodenough's page on MobyGames is sometimes vandalized by replacing his photo with one of Seb as the character. Jean-Michel Bruitage ("Sound Effects"), an inept sound designer whose "work" includes recording his synthesizer's output when wiping it clean, putting no music because he had to sell his synthesizer to make rent that month, repeating the same three or four notes (when he was testing if the keyboard still worked), and using this sound for a dying giant scorpion. According to his outfit, wig, and mannerisms, the director of Dragonball Evolution, the 1979 Captain America television film, the Resident Evil film series, the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie, and its television film-sequel Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon Godnote Respectively James Wong, Rod Holcomb, Paul W.S.

When she learns the duel is with pistols, she goes ahead anyway and tanks two shots before having the man murdered in the street just after. She later obtains an extra twenty years of life, not by making a Deal with the Devil, but the devil making a deal with her. Despite him manifesting as a pair of great eyes, lidless and wreathed in flames, this works, and the devil remains terrified of her. | |

But Bob Lennon easily takes the cake; whenever he appears on screen, he will act supremely flamboyant and over-the-top, so much that he almost steals the show. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Some of the episodes end like this, especially the Young Indiana Jones one (Grenier's grandpa actually is an alien which needed the test to go home). This ending itself makes sense if you consider that this also is a reference to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Nightmare Circus ends with Seb fleeing from a demonically possessed Fred and a Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl played by Benzaie (really), enters a forest cabin which happens to be Santa's house, then Benzaie and Fred (who is no longer possessed) follow him inside. Then everyone headbangs on a metal cover of "Silent Night".note According to Word of God, the ending was supposed to be a less silly horror parody, but they didn't know how to finish the episode | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Within the main duo, Fred tends to be the more angry one compared to the more relaxed Seb. This also translates in their film reviews, where Fred is more of a Caustic Critic while Seb is more of a Deadpan Snarker. Notably inverted in the duo's Jurassic World Dominion review however where after the Jurassic World trilogy presses Seb's Berserk Button one time too many (he really hates how it anthropomorphized the dinosaurs), he engages in a furious (and hilarious) rant about the constant Pandering to the Base in the Jurassic Park franchise, to Fred's hilarity. | |

Super Mode | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_844b6779 | comment |
Super Mode: "Super Grenier de l'espace" (Super Space Attic Gamer), a play on "Super Guerrier de l'espace", which is how Super Saiyans were called in the French dub. His "transformation" is triggered after building up too much anger and frustration because of Excalibur 2555 A.D., complete with Gohan's SSJ2 theme playing in the background, as Seb and Merlin (also played by Seb) comment on his "power"... Which allows him to beat games at a ludicrous speed, win at a game of checkers, find Waldo, turn the game off, watch a movie and brush his teeth before going to bed. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: RPG 2 and RPG 3 feature an evil sorcerer introduced as The Man Behind the Man but who never interacts with the main characters. The Anniversary video, a sequel/finale for several story arcs including the RPG videos, doesn't feature him.note Since they're both antagonists played by Bob Lennon, some viewers speculated the sorcerer was George Yunohu. In the 11th Anniversary episode, the ending of the first part has George Yunohu captured by Lord Thanus. The second part doesn't reveal his fate. In the Castlevania episode, the Grim Reaper disappears from the story once Trevor Belmont attacks Dracula's party, instead of fighting Belmont. The Grim Reaper is a recurring boss in the Castlevania series. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: On the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial game: In the Airwolf review, he notes that the NES version can be finished in 10 minutes, and since it cost 500 Francs (about 82 US dollars at the timenote According to this the exchange rate in late 1988 was 6.0935) when it came out, the game cost 50 francs per minute. This character is referred to as the greatest detective ever, has had more games on every platform than any other, name starts with B and A... In one video, Fred can't get past a level, so he calls a man named Nakajima for help. The guy angrily answers, in perfect French, that he's actually called François Lebreton and lives in Vitré, Brittany, but Fred claims not to understand his foreign language. The guy reluctantly does finish the impossible level anyway. The description of the Instruments of Chaos Starring Young Indiana Jones review says that "this video may contain a cameo". At the end of the video, Fred's ancestor, Archibald Von Grenier admits that he's not actually Fred's ancestor and asks him to pay attention on the initials of "Archibald Von Grenier" (with a little emphasis on Grenier's letter N), Fred then lists the letters A, V, G and N and exclaims "Wait, you are..." only for Archibald to reveal himself as an alien named "Alpha V de Gelganech" who is not related to the Angry Video Game Nerd in any way. Fred is then stuck with a dumbfounded expression for the rest of the video. The opening of the Phoenix Games video introduces the video's theme as a sequel to the Disney video, then Fred opens the box of games he just bought for the review and finds it only contains games by Phoenix Games. The subversion actually makes sense, as the first part of the review focuses on Phoenix Games' production falsely pretending to sell adaptations of Disney movies. | |

Fred even interviews a director who's such a zombie and who specifically asks his actors to make rolls and cartwheels to attack from improbable angles. | |

Literal Metaphor: A French one: during the Airwolf review, Grenier claims that the developers must really "en tenir une couche" (i.e. be really stupid), an expression which can be understood as meaning "holding a diaper"note The accurate translation for this expression is "possessing a layer", probably related to the English expression "being thick".. Cut to a scene where Seb is playing the game developer, typing on a computer... holding a baby diaper. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_8e0430ab | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: He has encountered these a few times while playing through some games. In Alf for the Master System, he bought the "Alf Book" from a shop, only to find out that after retelling the basic story of the series, it sends you back to the title screen for no apparent reason. In Rulers of Nations, he mentions that some of his playthroughs ended on really stupid and abrupt game overs. For one example, he lost when Nicolas Sarkozy got murdered by siccing a rampaging bull on him. This trope causes him much frustration in Alex Kidd in High-Tech World, where ways to get a sudden game over abound. The examples he ran into include putting on a suit of armor (it's too heavy for Alex to move while wearing it), talking to the guards in the third level too many times, or presenting them with false travel passes (which were obtained after seemingly normal quests), but what really caused him to snap is when he ran out of time. | |

Designated Hero | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_8e11040f | comment |
Designated Hero: The protagonist of the Fort Boyard: Legends point'n click is described as one In-Universe, since the goal is to claim a lost treasure of Fort Boyard (the player character is a former contestant who already won the game just before the story starts), and Fred points out that entering the Fort again to look for the treasure inside it is, technically, a burglary. Progression in the story requires to steal a golden coin belonging to a barman (said coin being a precious object from his family), then using a credit card forgotten by the former user of his hotel room to gain cash. Laurent Croft from the Tomb Raider video is apparently infamous In-Universe, being mentioned by the news as having just plundered a child's graveyard, and being decribed by a talk-show guest as a so-called adventurer who never does adventuring. His butler also seems to deeply hate him. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_8e3b5b4d | comment |
Minimalist Cast: In earliest episodes, every time you saw someone on screen who wasn't JdG or young JdG (a kid wearing his shirt), it was Seb in a costume. Later, the duo's move to Brittany to get closer to other members of the NESBlog collective (that notably included the 3615-Usul team, who used to regularly guest star) as well as their growing popularity allowed them to both get more extras responding to their casting calls and book high-profile guests, meaning they could afford a decent cast. Not that this stops them from using costumes anyway. | |

Dumb Blonde: During the "Girly Cartoons" video, when the heroine of Georgie! tries to chat with a couple of koalas and gets angry because they don't answer, the JdG refers to the trope. Exaggerated in the Detective Barbie video, where Barbie has no clue what to do with a foot-wide thumbprint and a bag of fingerprint powder. | |

In the James Bond Jr. episode, when JdG is trying to remind the audience of the cartoon, all he gets is the sound of wind... and a tumbleweed rolling by. In the Papy Grenier episode about Mass Effect, crickets are heard when Sheppard mentions Kaidan's death; apparently none of his teammates remember him. Also heard in the review for Super Monkey Daibouken, to express how the characters are moving very slowly in a gigantic map. | |

Values Dissonance | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_9c6ba43a | comment |
Values Dissonance: Invoked in the second commercial special, about an ad showing a boy playing with a fake workshop and a girl with a fake kitchen. He comments that values were different in the '70s... except the ad aired in 1999. Invoked again in the Special about AB Production's series, about the offensive racist stereotypes, the sheer pervertedness of the men, etc. | |

Interface Spoiler: At the end of the GIGN Anti-Terror Force episode, JdG is silently facing Doug Walker who plays a villain. The credits follow, which lists the song "Gettin' Jiggy with It" which hasn't been heard in the episode before. When The Stinger appears, it's quite obvious what you'll hear, and thus, what will happen. They dance to the song. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The anti-sexist jokes counter from the Barbie (NES) review appears again in one scene in the Jurassic Park games review. His duck weapons from the review of Batman & Robin returns for the intro of his short review video (the next one). The salami from that latter video becomes his weapon for the Link: Faces of Evil review intro and ending. In the RPGs review, when he's starting to play Drakkhen, at the moment the Infogram logo appears on screen... That moment is priceless but it also refers to his previous reviews of games made by Infogrames. The Papy Grenier features items from the previously reviewed games (Pokéball, SimCity Commissar Cap, Frostmourne...) on the mantlepiece. At the end of the Back to the Future II and III review, Grenier goes back in time to prevent himself from testing the games. As a result, he ends up testing My Little Pony on Game Boy Advance instead (the YouTube picture even shows that he is wearing the "good game" shirt). At the beginning of the following episode, he's shown reviewing (and praising) that same game with an idiot smile before coming to his senses. In the opening of the DC Comics adaptations video, Duck-Man is fighting against Tintin and Spirou, which have both a video-game adaptation of their adventures reviewed by JdG (and made by the dreaded Infogrames). The GTA San Andreas' Papy Grenier episode has Fred going to the hairdresser. The available haircuts are "Gelganech"note planet refered in the Star Wars and Indiana Jones videos, "Papy Grenier", "Archibald Von Grenier"note character from the Indiana Jones video, "Lolitler"note character from the Ghostbusters video, and "Afro Grenier"note a gag from the Superheroes special episode. Fred chooses the latter haircut (onscreen, it's the same wig). In the beginning of the Tomb Raider episode, the flashback about the history of the MacGuffin is about its discovery by Archibald Von Grenier. In the Silver Surfer review during the Comics' Videogame Part 2, to finish the game Fred summons a "Japanese" gamer he introduces as "Mr Nakajima", who angrily retorts he's a Frenchman named "François Lebreton". In the earlier episode Unsorted Japanese Games, the Super Monkey Daibouken review features the same actor as Kaoru Nakajima, one of this game's real-life developer. | |

Filler: He explicitly states that some sections of the Excalibur 2555 A.D test are intentionally this, because each second of filler is a second not spent playing this game. Invoked, and lampshaded in the intro of the Silent Assault / Raid 2020: According to him, the LOTR game has more filler in the opening sequence than Naruto. | |

Done again in the video for the '80s series video (special Glen A. Larson), but this time, if Captain NordVPN is still a Superman Captain Ersatz, it's of the Man of Steel dark and brooding version. | |

Gag Dub: Does this to a few games to accentuate the points he makes. There's a particularly funny one during his Spirou review, when he thinks that main characters in games made by Infogrames all seem to have agoraphobia, and illustrates his point by dubbing over a level from a Tintin game, where the latter is running through a crowded museum (where the goal is to avoid touching people): | |

Digital Piracy Is Evil: Completely averted when he suggests people should try the game of the week no matter the means, even on an emulator, to see how bad it is. Mocked on the Captain Planet and the Planeteers video review when it was not available on YouTube (this scene is absent from the official YouTube version, however): And again, at the beginning of his Heavy Nova review, as soon as he mentions the video is DVD-exclusive, Seb says "Too late", the camera pans out, and the video is in fact on YouTube uploaded by someone else, causing JdG to exclaim "What?! Already?!" A more discreet (and maybe unintentional) aversion: when he plays My Little Pony (GBA) on his Nintendo DS, it has a flashcart plugged in. | |

It's Personal: In the RPG #3 video, JdG explains that he went through a bit of trouble before testing Zelda's Adventure. His CD-i died out when he first put the game in, forcing him to go on a 6-hour round trip to buy another console at an expensive price, all the while he was having a high fever, just to play one of the worst games ever created. Because of this, he furiously declares that the review will not be objective. | |

During the Megadrive Wayne's World segment of "Games and Metal", Fred describes the sound effect of your weapon (a guitar) as "dolphins' dying screams" and the cutscene version of the movie's "Bohemian Rhapsody" scene as "'Bohemian Rhapsody' played on a jigsaw". | |

As Himself: Video-game journalist Julien Chièze plays his own role in the Mission: Impossible episode. Before appearing in person, the episode includes extracts of a review of the game written by Chièze in a video-game magazine. You would think the name François Lebreton from the Stereotype Reaction Gag is a made-up name to highlight how non-stereotypically Japanese the character is (as it translates literally to Frenchman the Briton)... Turns out it's the actor's real name. The ending of Games and Metal has Fred and Seb returning the Revolution X cart to the store they bought it. The scene has been shot in their town's actual video-game store, and the actor playing the store clerk is the store's owner in real life. | |

One of the Fort Boyard games was very difficult to properly install, because Mindscape (the publisher, which eventually went bankrupt) forgot to add the CD-key in the box, requiring calls to the now-defunct tech support to get one. For a licensed adaptation of a game show in which keys are a MacGuffin. | |

Karma Houdini: Papy Grenier, given all the horrible things he's done. At the end of the RCT special, the park is in flames, people are screaming everywhere, Fred's getaway helicopter has been shot down by NATO forces into Seb... and Fred comes down on a literal golden parachute asking his wife what's for dinner. Henri Silverberg, who dies just before he was to go to trial for his crimes, leaving a flourishing empire and a very capable successor to take the reins. | |

Accentuate the Negative | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_a70f9aba | comment |
Accentuate the Negative: Doesn't happen as much as you'd expect from an angry video game reviewer; when he gives harsh criticism, then it is deserved. Although he does state that the only good moment in the Batman & Robin movie is the end credits. A notable aversion in his Atari games review video: he believes calling E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial the worst game ever made is an exaggeration, and that the video game adaptation of Strawberry Shortcake on the same console (which plays a five-seconds long clip and then is over) is a much worse buy. In "The Tier List of Crappy Games", Fred reiterates E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Superman 64 (two games he mentions often appear as the worst issues in lists about the crappiest video games ever released) aren't so bad.note According to the same video, the worst video game he ever reviewed is Bubsy 3D, and the second worst is the NES version of Dragon's Lair In the same video, Fred points out The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery is actually a decent point'n click, which wouldn't have been reviewed in the first FMV episode if its French dub wasn't So Bad, It's Good.invoked At the end of the special focused on Glen A. Larson produced-series, Fred points out he reviewed Larson's worst series (Galactica 1980, Automan, Manimal), but most of Larson's production is okay. In the behind-the-scenes comments of the Prince of Persia 2/Alex Kidd video, Fred comments Prince of Persia 2 is actually a decent game flawed by stiff gameplay. While the video's theme is "bad sequels", Fred acknowledges the first game is similar is this aspect. | |

Animate Inanimate Object: A common joke in the early videos was about the video game cartridge of the episode coming to life, attacking Fred and being destroyed in a way that references the video game of the episode being reviewed. One side character in some videos is a living slice of galette des rois called Frangipanus, who originates from a whole planet of them. In the 11-year special, Antoine Daniel shows a PSA video depicting the four magical gems as being alive in a cutesy artstyle. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: JdG doesn't find "Life in the City" to be fitting to Sonic R. He thinks it'd rather suit a Rhythm Game at a seaside nightclub. The Legend of Zelda: Faces of Evil: In Airwolf, he notes how the music in one of the game's versionsnote Airwolf II on Amstrad CPC sounds awesome but only plays in the most boring parts of the game. He compares it to putting epic music in an elevator, cue a skit with him going in an elevator that has "Dragon Rider" playing in it. Excalibur 2555 A.D has a kind of techno-ish soundtrack making the levels sounds like every part of the game was happening in the immediate surrounding of a night-club. Asterix and the Great Rescue set to techno music. Played for laughs in the video where he reviews Timecop among other things: JdG demonstrates how music should fit the situation by showing a counter-example: Aerith's death scene set to Les Musclés' "Merguez Partie". The music pops up once again later in the video, when JdG starts talking about how horrible diabetes is. In the Smurfs video, when he flips a switch and the ominous music switches to "La Cucaracha" inside the bomber flying to the Smurfs village. The GIGN one has hilariously inappropriate music, which he thinks would be better suited to a commercial for insurance or dog food. Especially the Game Over screen. The Robin Hood NES game has very upbeat music playing over Duncan telling Robin about the torture of his father. The skit version even has Robin dancing along to the music. | |

Later on, Alpha V offers the JdG a drink, he drinks it and finds it delicious, when he asks Alpha V what it is, he says it's the blood of the victim, causing the JdG to look horrified at his glass of drink. He then repeats that he loves it with palpable unease. In the "Bible Games" episode, JDG meets his town’s baker in hell, who casually explains the reason he ended up down here. | |

The Whole World Is Watching | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b39abd04 | comment |
The Whole World Is Watching: Played for Laughs whenever sports anime comes up, the stadiums always seem full to bursting over unimportant matches of minor leagues. The Let's Play of Captain Tsubasa goes the Serial Escalation route, with junior soccer matches being broadcast to 145 countries, then 3 galaxies, then 4 parallel universes. The Beyblade special points out that the stadiums are filled to capacity despite no-one being able to see the spinning tops. | |

No OSHA Compliance | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b47d95be | comment |
No OSHA Compliance: Unsurprisingly, Papy Grenier's theme park is full of these, with a ride like "The Neckbreaker" where you go from 300 to 0 kph in 2 seconds, and saving money by firing the ride maintenance technicians. In his desire to make a profit, he put all the animals in the same cage then let them free to run in the park. And in his take on Jurassic Park, it takes him a while to fence in the dinosaurs. "The 5th Element" features his take on magma-filled factories full of unconnected platforms: | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: When the third Ninja Turtles movie dub uses casual racist jokes, one shocks Grenier as even he wouldn't have made it. Subverted: he commented in a later video that not only he would have made that joke, he would actually have made worse. The Head doctor in Code Bleu is an alcoholic, fairly apathetic toward his job, dismissive of his employees, etc., but even he doesn't like how much their insurance company end up leading the hospital. | |

Take That! | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
In the "Thanks" part of the closing credits for the Superheroes special, he thanks "The NESBlog Mafia". NESBlog is a French videogame-themed network of videomakers, of which JdG is part (as most of the regular characters appearing as cameos). "The NESBlog Mafia" is not a Take That! addressed to NESBlog but to the vocal minority already targeted in the "we're squatting your video" joke (see above): the "NESBlog Mafia" phrase comes right from them. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Said word-for-word in the LOTR review (see Artificial Stupidity). The vampire guests in the Castlevania episodes behave like stereotypical slasher movies victims, with their antics non-exhaustively including splitting up for no good reason, mistaking their twitch viewers' warnings about Belmond for requests for songs, and not realizing that their friend is dead despite them literally seeing the body. | |

Political Overcorrectness | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b6db5695 | comment |
Political Overcorrectness: The Tomb Raider episode, filmed at the peak of Fred's beef with YouTube's policies, takes place in a cataclysmically sanitized world, where everything lewd has been turned into a blur, profanity auto-censors itself, any kind of controversial topic becomes impossible to mention out loud, singing preexisting songs is met with violence, and there is nothing between September 10th and 12th. This prompts the search for the Mysterious Green Dollar, in the hope of reverting this mess. | |

Hypocritical Humor | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: At the beginning of the Sports Games Review, Grenier doesn't even wait for his mysterious caller to tell him something to do. During the Taz-Mania review: During the Platoon review, when he reaches the civilian village:We immediately see the Rambo-disguised Joueur du Grenier posing for a photograph reenacting one from the Abu Ghraib torture scandal of the Iraq War. During the Pokémon video: During the Superheroes special, he rants about Captain Planet and its Green Aesop, saying we don't need that to be environmentally responsible. And then he blows his nose with leopard skin. And later, commenting about Captain Planet's Very Special Episode: During the Kasumi Ninja review, he complains about the exaggerated Asian-sounding accent of the in-game voice: During the Instruments of Chaos review: During a segment about a video game show hosted by a CGI woman with enormous tits and a painted-on outfit, Fred claims such a representation is degrading towards women as a whole. When the game starts, he says "Go back to the tits!" In the second Comics-inspired games episode, Duck-Man admonishes Pygargue-Man for having gunned down a bad guy, since heroes shouldn't kill... just before doing a Neck Snap to another mook. In "Games and Metal", Fred mocks the plot of Wayne's World for being unrealistic right after telling it includes the main character doing product placement. It immediately is followed by Fred and Seb doing product placements in a much more blatant way than their usual videos. In the review of Sonic 2006 during the Anniversary video, Fred comments time travel results in bad plots. The mid-review sketch of said video includes time travel. In the mid-review sketch of the RoboCop episode, a tiktoker snaps at Rob for shooting him, as it was insanely "dangerous", even though the tiktoker was drinking bleach at the exact time the incident happened. | |

This trope causes him much frustration in Alex Kidd in High-Tech World, where ways to get a sudden game over abound. The examples he ran into include putting on a suit of armor (it's too heavy for Alex to move while wearing it), talking to the guards in the third level too many times, or presenting them with false travel passes (which were obtained after seemingly normal quests), but what really caused him to snap is when he ran out of time. | |

They still use them against RoboCop, and they have the effect you'd expect of Nerf weapons on the Immune To Bullet cyborg. Except that, when directed on the villains themselves, they are just as lethal as true firearms, as one finds out by shooting himself in the face, just as he's commenting they'll never hurt anything with these. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c2288824 | comment |
A Nazi by Any Other Name: France in the Civ 6 playthrough (though with a religious ideology rather than a racial one). Complete with white circle on red background flag (with two parallel lines instead of a swastika) and a salute (both arms held parallel to each other). | |

Fun with Acronyms: At the beginning of the 11th Anniversary episode, Duck-Man meets with Commissaire Magret and other members of the C.C.P.D. — "Canard City Police Department". Except that, "C.C.P.D." sounds phonetically like the French for "That's those faggots." To further the gag, their is some Stripper/Cop Confusion going in the background. | |

Irony | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: One of the Fort Boyard games was very difficult to properly install, because Mindscape (the publisher, which eventually went bankrupt) forgot to add the CD-key in the box, requiring calls to the now-defunct tech support to get one. For a licensed adaptation of a game show in which keys are a MacGuffin. The documentary on Pif briefly mentions that the comics, created by exiled Spanish communist José Cabrero Arnal, were censored in the USSR for being too communist, promoting anti-establishment values that the Soviet regime didn't really want any of now that they were in power. | |

Bestiality Is Depraved | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c3fbac64 | comment |
Bestiality Is Depraved: JdG talks about how his cartoon crush as a kid was Sailor Mercury. Seb then says he liked the "female cat". JdG is shocked, thinking he means Luna (who is presented as a non-anthropomorphic cat). However, Seb specifies he means Cleo from Heathcliff & the Catillac Cats (she is an anthropomorphic cat). In the special episode about sport-themed cartoons, JdG is squicked by a scene of Kangoonote a French animated series which protagonists are humanized kangaroos (they talk and they wear clothes) playing basketball in which a (human) woman is flirting with a (kangaroo) male character. And in the erotic games review, progress requires banging a sheep. Cue Relax-o-Vision and Shower of Angst! | |

In Hook for the NES, after going through a painful first level, he is amazed at how surprisingly good the following flying level is, before he realizes said level is also very short. He compares the experience with giving a lollipop to a child just to enjoy taking it away a few seconds later. | |

America Saves the Day | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c515d358 | comment |
America Saves the Day: Discussed heavily in "World War III (in video games)". Fred points out that since the primary target demographic of war-themed games is the American public, conflicts in games usually end up being about Americans fighting Nazis/Russians/Middle-Eastern terrorists, or thinly veiled stand-ins for the latter in more fictionalized stories. It gets to the point where Battlefield 1, despite mostly taking place in France during World War I (which did make it stand out among the crowd of WW2-inspired games), mainly focused on English-speaking soldiers and limited the French involvement in their own frontline to a DLC side-story. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Often done, for obvious reasons, with lampshades aplenty; probably most hilariouly in the Robin Hood video where Fred starts describing a scene of total war between lion-riding knights and centaurs in a burning forest to his daughter who's complaining there aren't any visuals anymore. He's a lot less appreciative when the actual games do that, though. | |

Cringe Comedy: Crypto-Geek C@fe has Fred as a relentlessly optimistic yet hopelessly inept small business owner who keeps trying to see the positive side of his disastrous life (he invested in crypto-currencies that have yet to increase in value, clients keep leaving without paying, the computers keep catching fire...), with long, awkward pauses and side glances whenever he tries to put a positive spin on things. Several commentators compare it to The Office. | |

Also invoked in the Castlevania review, where he mentions that the first game's use of Antepieces, gradually ramping of the difficulty as the levels go on rather than throw everything at the player from the start (as was commonplace at the time) seem like obvious game design tips in the present days but were a huge deal at the time. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c64a7400 | comment |
Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: Subverted in the Civilization playthroughs, where the French are bloodthirsty little bastards with quite a few victories to their names. While as Napoleon he often showed Pragmatic Villainy when dealing with his opponents and managed to crush anyone who was a military threat. As Catherine de Medicis however, he plays a bloodthirsty tyrant, ruling an unstoppable military power, who exterminates anyone who looks at him funny... and even those who don't. Played straight in the second World of Tanks video, where a tank is seen retreating and it's commented that it's normal behavior for a French-made tank. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: In the Taz-Mania review: The 2014 FAQ video contains a sequence in which the meeting between the JdG and the NESBlog teams is played as a reenactment of the Jurassic Park scene in which Grant, Sattler, Hammond, and Malcom (respectively played by Fred, Seb, RealMyop, and Usul) are flying toward Isla Nublar, with Malcom rewritten as a far-left economist.note Usul is very openly far-left on the political spectrum. The Disney-themed episode has, at one point, a Long List of things "a thousand times worse than that" ("that" being the game The Lion King: Simba's Mighty Adventure on PlayStation). Said list includes the JdG opening credits. After two "FAQ" videos in which he was either a Trolling Creatorinvoked or giving joke answers to obvious questions, he made a totally serious FAQ video, which was named "Boring FAQ". The third part of the RPG episode casts fellow Youtuber Mathieu Sommet as a human mistaken for a Hobbit. Mathieu Sommet is 165 cm (5'5") tall. "Games and Metal": The segment about the Wayne's World game is introduced by a summary of the movie. Fred mentions the main character's show contains product placement and that he has an Asian girlfriend, then laughs about how unrealistic it is. The Black Metallers antagonists behaving like a Goblin horde are played by actual Black Metallers. In the GTA San Andreas's Papy Grenier episode, Fred refers the weight/fat gameplay feature by showing a footage of an overweight CJ while commenting it, "It was the time when I was funny. Run, Fatty!" The conclusion of the AB Productions special: The Terminator special has his younger self reading the JdG comics; he tells him to stop reading that crap. El Presidente was primarily written by Usul, who is well-known in the French sphere for being very, very left-leaning. He eventually makes a cameo... as a comically over-the-top Soviet agent. French video-game journalist Julien Chièze plays his own role in the Mission: Impossible video, bound and tortured because he wrote a misleadingly positive review of the game. The Harry Potter video features the Youtuber Cyprien as the animated portrait which guards one of the dorms. His password is "I prefer Norman". Cyprien and Norman are two French Youtuber working in the same niche (and real life friends who occasionally appear in each other's videos). In the same video, Professor Solid Snape interrogates Henry Butter (Fred), asking among other things the difference between JdG and AVGN, to which Henry-Fred replies, as to all the other questions, that he doesn't know, barely holding back tears. In the Anniversary video, Fred comments the time-travel plot of Sonic 2006 by saying time-travel plots don't make sense. The Anniversary video's plot itself includes time-travel, and Seb reacts to Fred's comment by awkwardly concealing the screenplay of the video. The Scooby-Doo episode features a cameo of AHL (as himself) mistaken for a mummy by Fred. AHL (Alain Huyghues-Lacour) is a video game journalist who works in the sector since the mid-eighties, and was in his late seventies at the time the video was made. The Bible Games video has Fred being almost sent to Hell solely because of his Twitter post history. | |

Once Original, Now Common | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_cc5a6c4a | comment |
Once Original, Now Common: Invoked in the first Ces jeux qui m'ont marqué, when Fred explains playing Wing Commander III at the time of its release blew his mind due to the novelty of a game with so many FMV cutscenes in it, while pointing out it became the norm in the +25 years years which passed since this era. Also invoked in the Castlevania review, where he mentions that the first game's use of Antepieces, gradually ramping of the difficulty as the levels go on rather than throw everything at the player from the start (as was commonplace at the time) seem like obvious game design tips in the present days but were a huge deal at the time. | |

Every Episode Ending | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_d076824c | comment |
Every Episode Ending: In earlier episodes, episodes usually ended in one of three manners: JdG destroyed the game (sometimes in a manner reminiscent to the episode's theme), like the AVGN often does. JdG just got rid of the game in other ways (throwing it in the trash, ditching it out of the window of his car, leaving with it to destinations unknown...). JdG experienced a supernatural side-effect of playing the game or finishing it, cutting his review short. The Papy Grenier episodes always have one of the kids saying "But Grandpa, that's not a story, that's a video game!" at the end. | |

In the Simulation games video, he points that the games belonging to the series of the German simulators all have this kind of over-the-top blockbuster-like trailers. He then shows a parody he made of the trailer for Bus & Cable Car Simulator... on which he doesn't change the pictures, the camera angles or the epic music, he only added some snarky narrator comments. In the sport cartoons special, where he claims the Japanese are fascinated by things like two soccer players passing the ball to each other. | |

Big "SHUT UP!": A few times, most notably in the Saint Seiya episode. At the end of his rant about how the music in Airwolf gets really annoying really fast since the "mute" function cancels itself every time he loses a game, which happens every five seconds. The propensity of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon for Narrating the Obvious inspires another one. | |

Race Lift | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: The English subs of the Harry Potter episode do this to Georges Tucéki for the sake ofinvoked Woolseyism. In the original, "Tucéki" is said to be of Greek ascend. In the English subs, he becomes "Yunohu" and is supposed to be partly Japanese, but he is still played by Bob Lennon, who is Caucasian. Friar Tuck in the Robin Hood video is now Jewish. Mostly for the sake of a "call me Rabbi Hood!" pun, and he later turns out to have a "confusion spell" that consists of his opponents stopping the fight to figure out if attacking him would be considered antisemitic. In the Papy Grenier about GTA San Andreas, CJ (who is black in the game) is played by Fred (who doesn't use Blackface in the video); this is lampshaded by the kids, who points that the character in the flashback doesn't look like their grandpa at all. Also, the episode features a scene where Big Smoke (who is black, too) is played by Seb. | |

The early episodes/seasons were openly aimed at an audience that was of Fred's generation, and so he made a lot of sincere nostalgic references to '80s/'90s French kids. In later seasons, he obviously aims for a Younger and Hipper audience and when he makes this kind of reference — that has now become less frequent — it would usually be done with sarcasm and self-depreciation. | |

Torch the Franchise and Run: invokedWhen summarizing the story of the Tomb Raider franchise in the intro of the Tomb Raider video, Fred tells The Last Revelation ends with Lara Croft's apparent death because the developers wanted to terminate the series, being fed up with a work pace so intense (one game released per year since the first installment) they were suffering from physical and mental issues. Since they later made a prequel (Tomb Raider Chronicles) and a proper sequel (The Angel of Darkness, which is the main focus of the video), it didn't work. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |

Failed Attempt at Drama: For "Des Jeux et du Métal !", the group Wet Fingers dramatically prepare for an epic Battle of the Bands against Fred and Seb, with apropos musical cue... except the mic technician takes his sweet time setting up the microphone and doing some sound testing with it, bringing the moment to a screeching halt. | |

In My Language, That Sounds Like...: Says he won't make jokes about Profion's name since, in French it reads "Pro-Anus". One of his ads for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang features a Laugh Track when he proudly announces he got a character called Gatotkaca, which sounds way too much like French for "poopcake". | |

Video Game Perversity Potential: In-Universe, in the Papy Grenier episode about GoldenEye for the N64. He says that he used to take advantage of the fact that bullet impacts on the walls took a long time to disappear to "draw" penises. Discussed in the Bazar video where he plays AI Dungeon 2. When describing the game's premise, Fred explains it has a Not Safe for Work setting he experimented with for a while offscreen, and it is perfectly functional. During the proper game, he flies to the dragon's nest by using his penis as a helicopter's propeller. | |

It immediately turns out Von Grenier isn't the Angry Video Game Nerd but the fake identity of an alien. | |

Ear Worm: Some of the music tracks in the games he reviewed, most particularly the theme of Dragon Ball for the NES (its European version, to be precise) are those. He even shows how this theme will never leave your brain. When reviewing The Addams Family (NES), he notices that the only music track of the game is a 8-bit fex seconds loop of the series' theme. To show how it is annoying, he uses a short loop of the Joueur du Grenier opening theme during the following minute. Splinter's mangling of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" gets to him so bad he believes it's fused with his DNA. | |

Blind Shoulder Toss: In the Papy Grenier episode for World of Warcraft, the captain of a ship trying to find the other "hidden" continents of Azeroth can't tell what is starboard or the stern, and he finally tosses his spyglass in the sea behind him in defeat. For the Men In Black game, to illustrate how the Olmec statuette found at the end of level 1 has no relevance to the plot, we get a sketch of Seb briefly describing it, before tossing it away and sending the player to a mission in Antarctica. Later, he also does it with the "rare molecule" vial found at the end of level 2, which again is irrelevant to level 3. | |

Artistic License: The Mission: Impossible review ends with gameplay footages of Fred discovering combat controls aren't disabled in the Developer's Room, then he vents his frustration by beating the game developers' virtual avatars. In a live comment, Fred clarified the sequence is a heavily edited montage of several very short footages from distinct playthroughs (in real life, it's possible to kill one of those NPCs with quick enough button-mashing and some luck, but they all turn hostile once you attack one, and their attacks are One-Hit Kills). | |

Jurassic Park: Jurassic Park. Platoon & Metal Gear: Rambo III. The first RPG special: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Young Indiana Jones: The Indiana Jones franchise. With a twist ending inspired by Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Unsorted #2: Special Moviesnote Hook and Beetlejuice: The pre-credit scene is a parody of the French equivalent of Come Dine With Me, while the proper episode is a parody of Hook and Peter Pan. Terminator: The Terminator. Friday the 13th — Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde: The Shining. Star Wars: A New Hope. The Sixth Generation of Console Video Games: The Matrix. Ghostbusters: Ghostbusters. Harry Potter : Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Rambo: While most of the review is about an adaptation of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the Mid-Review Sketch Show is parodying First Blood. Robin Hood: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Fort Boyard: Fort Boyard. Ecco the Dolphin: Interstellar. Enter the Matrix: The Matrix Reloaded. Games and Metal: Brütal Legend. Mission: Impossible: Mission Impossible. | |

Composite Character: In the Harry Potter parody, George Yunohu (Tusseky in french) is Voldemort/Quirrell merged with Gilderoy Lockhart of all people. According to the Behind the Scenes video, Texas Granger from the same aforementioned episode is supposed to be a mixture of Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, which would explain her Adaptational Dumbass. For some reason, in the Robin Hood video, the Sheriff of Nottingham also takes up the role of Prince John. In the RoboCop episode (the Mid-Review Sketch parodies the first film), Seb's character is a counterpart of both Bob Morton (as manager of the team turning Fred into a cyborg) and Dick Jones (as a corrupt businessman using the cyborg as a pawn in his plan). | |

It's Hard, So It Sucks!: Invoked in the rules of the official Joueur du Grenier discussion board. In the section in which contributors can suggest reviews of specific games, it is written that merely being hard isn't enough to qualify for a JdG review. There is at least one review (The Smurfs) in which he states that the game is hard but good. He considered it reviewable because its difficulty was caused by huge numbers of Trial-and-Error Gameplay sequences. | |

Press Start to Game Over | |

Press Start to Game Over: In the SNES version of Dragon's Lair, the password screen is a mini-game where you have to push lettered balls underwater to set the password, Grenier finds out that you can die by letting a ball fall upon you. In The Addams Family video, he starts his review of Pugsley's Scavenger Hunt by pointing out that you can get hurt on the level select screen. When reviewing Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (SNES), he quickly finds out that an ennemy can kill you if you don't move immediately to the right. In Takeshi's Challenge, one of the password options allows you to punch the person you're typing your password to, leading to the game over screen. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fred himself as the JdG often throws a tantrum whenever he fails at a particular game. Though considering the games he has to play, it's hard to blame him. He also downplays it in his regular let's plays, usually by claiming he doesn't understand the controls or blaming random mechanics. | |

Press X to Not Die | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_e6661fc2 | comment |
Press X to Not Die: He parodies how this game mechanic has gotten too easy in recent games in the Dragon's Lair review: JdG shows himself being threatened with a gun by Seb, who is about to shoot him and yells. The on-screen text says "Press X to avoid the bullet", but Seb keeps on yelling without shooting, and is even taking out a Cubitus comic book to read, waiting for JdG to react. He mentions that by comparison, Dragon's Lair hits the other end of the spectrum by not telling the player anything: Neither what button to press, nor within which (very unforgiving) window of time. | |

Invoked in the AB Productions special, where Fred comments a Club Dorothée musical segment (where Dorothée instantly goes from some winter weather-region to an African jungle after crossing a line named "border") by describing the scene as "the famous border between North Pole and Africa". In the "Harry Potter" and "Anniversary Part 2" videos, the wizardry school parodying Hogwarts is in France but features houses and prefects.note Outside of Britain, many Harry Potter readers/watchers assumed houses and prefects were invented for the series' fictional setting instead of being real aspects of British school system. | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_ea5c413d | comment |
Biting-the-Hand Humor: When Fred writes ads for sponsored videos, they can get... surprisingly nasty. Fortunately the "humor" part is never forgotten, leading to most commenters saying they find the sponsorship just as entertaining as the rest of the video, making it far less grating. The World of Tanks ad stars a member of Those Wacky Nazis clearly trying to relive the war. His plug of Displate took such a dump on their Plant-a-Tree initiative, a lot of commenters were actively wondering how the company even approved that. The sponsored ad for the infamous mobile game Raid: Shadow Legends takes the cake, describing the game as perfect to be played on the toilet during a bout of diarrhea. Retroactively towards all of the above: during the Genshin Impact ad, Fred flat-out says "And we did play this one!" In a Nord VPN ad, the woman mentioning the "Youtube Premium" service causes everyone to burst into laughter. "No one buys Youtube Premium..." One ad feature the claim that it can be used to watch sporting events available only in Belgium. Cue Fred bored out of his mind in front of a potatoto-throwing competition, switching to Swiss events (a chocolate-throwing competition), and waking up hours later in front of a Luxembourgeois accounting competition. The ad in "Wii Games for Girls" congratulates Nord VPN for winning the title of Product of the Year, before pointing out that it now stands alongside humorously lame stuff such as brands of sponges and cat litter. In the actual episode's introduction, Fred answers Seb he has no idea what a VPN is when Seb tells he'll install a VPN on Fred's computer. | |

Crossover: The Infogrames studio musical sequence in the Disney video, which features several members of the Crossed team.

The Castlevania video's mid-review sketch is mostly based on, well, Castlevania, but also features Sadako among Dracula's guests at the party, and photographs of Dracula posing with Edward Cullen and Spike.

Quirky Work: "Were the devs on drugs?" is a recurring theme in the earlier videos. He often asks this questions about video games when they get too trippy, such as Astérix and the Great Rescue. Also the Téléchat special. And his conclusion about Batman: The Movie. (Though here it isn't clear whether he's implying it was made on drugs, or if he's advocating taking some to recover from the viewing. Probably both.) In a scene where the background is especially trippy during the Nightmare Circus review, Fred lampshades the fact he'd been doing this a lot. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Invoked in the sport cartoons special, where he mentions how the main character of Attacker You! is a lot nastier than people remember. Case in point: she scolds her six-year old adopted brother for having a Potty Failure in front of a large crowd of people instead of comforting him, and later on, she harshly and loudly reminds him they're not really siblings. And if that wasn't enough, he at one point starts whining that he doesn't want to go to school, since everyone laughs at him for not knowing how to swim. Her response is to dangle him one-armed from the window of their high-rise apartment until he agrees to go to the pool. Earlier, he is appalled how there's only one person in Captain Tsubasa (Jerkass Hot-Blooded Combat Pragmatist Hyuuga Kojiro) who gives a shit about the player (Glass Cannon Misugi Jun) who had a friggin' heart attack during the match. To the point that Hyuuga Kojiro is then blamed by the coach because he was the only one to stop playing after said incident. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Played for laughs at the end of the Castlevania episode. After Trevor slaughtered everyone in the castle and Alucard makes a big reveal about how he deliberately riled him up (before being offed himself), Trevor confronts Dracula, the last vampire remaining... by politely asking him to lower the music's volume, which Dracula refuses with a flustered expression. Cue an 8-bit animation of the castle collapsing. | |

20 Minutes into the Future: The Papy Grenier series is implied to take place in one of these, possibly as late as the 2060's; in the Hogwarts Legacy episode, we learn that the legal retirement age is 87, child labor (and child smoking!) is legal (both are satirical Take That! at unpopular pension reforms and labor code reforms in France), the Harry Potter fandom has become a (probably literal) religious cult, and an AI impersonating a now-deceased popular French singer has become president of the bunker Papy Grenier and his grandchildren live in, probably due to some catastrophe. | |

Product Placement | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Played for Laughs. The Star Wars episode is pretty much a 20-minute ad for the Zozan Kebab, located in Fred's town. The alien rebels have their base in it, and Fred and Seb are given kebabs instead of a medal at the end. They have to make it clear in a disclaimer that the show isn't sponsored by Zozan. However, Fred stated on Twitter that it did increase the Kebab's clientele, with the owner none the wiser. Due to YouTube becoming increasingly restrictive in 2018 about monetization of copyrighted content (which ended up demonetizing many of his most watched videos such as the Harry Potter one), JdG now advertizes for free-to-play games at the beginning of his recent videos. He tries to make the best of it with his humorous style still. | |

Running Gag | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Seb making a stupid remark off-screen and JdG getting angry about it. Anyone making an Incredibly Lame Pun and showing anger or embarrassment. Lampshade Hanging. Something supernatural/unbelievable seems to happen, then a completely mundane explanation is immediately given. Interrupting particularly crass jokes just before the punchline, usually with a "CENSORED" or "JOKE ABORTED" banner. The use of "Baba Yetu" during uplifting moments... and usually interrupted by the Moment Killer. Making a confusing, weird convoluted intro and saying it didn't make sense and it doesn't matter to the episode anyway. Whenever they need a Bit Character, he's always named Jean-Michel [Meaningful Name]. Taken furthest with Jean-Michel Random, a Vox Pops specialist for a... Vox Pops segment. The use of the Justice song "Stress" for segments involving delinquents and other (non-)violent/scary people. It's notably used in the Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures episode, when Pac-Man starts acting like a jerk. Or in one of the FMV games, when the SWAT has to apprehend... a diabetic 64 year-old grandma — cue a shot of old people walking in the street with the threatening music in the background. Also the use Joey Scarburry's "Believe It or Not" for "happy ending" type punchlines. Things often explode around Fred, in reaction to the games he's playing, be they sarcasm detectors, the fourth wall or feminists. Putting '80s sitcom-style ending credits after making an Incredibly Lame Pun, with the theme song of Full House or Perfect Strangers. The Papy Grenier episode on Metal Gear Solid has a running gag where Fred as Solid Snake gets increasingly angry at characters (often defeated bosses) telling their tragic backstories, which distracts him from his mission. Whenever JdG has to make up a name for an in-game character (occasionally skit characters too), it's often either "Pépito" or "Sabrina". The latter is even sometime used for male characters. Whenever a character from the reviewed work is acting like a pervert or a molester, the video cuts to a "Sonic Sez" PSA from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. | |

My Little Panzer: "The Worst Toys" includes a section about LJN's infamous Entertech water guns, which prided themselves on being as realistic as toy guns could be... and thus were often mistaken for real guns, causing shootouts with panicked cops and being used in robberies. During "Strange Christmas Tapes", Fred complains that most of the toys advertised by the tapes aren't even available anymore in the present day... if not probably made outright illegal, as the footage shows off a toy toolbox with a fully functional power drill. | |

| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: Commented in the first anime special, where he notes that the French titles of Captain Tsubasa ("Olive & Tom") and Attacker You! ("Jeanne et Serge") contain the names of minor characters that barely ever appear in the shows. The Club JdG about The Old Testament Mondo series. The video is named The Bible (according to Mondo), but it only covers the first and second episodes (Adam and Eve story) instead of being an overview of the full series. Downplayed in the Roger Rabbit episode. The Roger Rabbit NES game is the fourth and last game reviewed in the video (the other being Mighty Max on SNES, and two The Flintstones games — on Master System and on PC). However, it's by far the one with the longest review. | |

In the Papy Grenier about GTA San Andreas, CJ (who is black in the game) is played by Fred (who doesn't use Blackface in the video); this is lampshaded by the kids, who points that the character in the flashback doesn't look like their grandpa at all. Also, the episode features a scene where Big Smoke (who is black, too) is played by Seb. | |

Whenever they need a Bit Character, he's always named Jean-Michel [Meaningful Name]. Taken furthest with Jean-Michel Random, a Vox Pops specialist for a... Vox Pops segment. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Commented in the Deus video, in which the antagonists have names like Pavlov 95, Marx 49, Pythagoras 32, Socrates 19... which results in Fred wondering if the game is supposed to be set on the online chat of a philosophy college. At the end of the video, when encountering a final boss named "Cyberfranck", Fred tells he never heard about this philosopher. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: The James Bond Jr. episode has a gameplay scene where the plane piloted by the player is instantly destroyed after its hit-box touches a leaf protruding from a tree branch. The episode's Mid-Review Sketch ends with the big bad (the CEO of Mauvais Jeux Inc. in his first appearance) fleeing in a helicopter and hitting a leaf. When reviewing The Addams Family, he states that the sound which is played each times the protagonist is hurt (which is "often") is very annoying and sounds a bit like a dog whistle. A few minutes later during the test, two dogs appears in the room. In the commercials special, there's a Running Gag involving Captain Igloo getting in trouble with the law because of the innuendos behind his commercial. Later on, there's a sketch where we can hear Santa running away from cops. Both of them show up at Fred's home in the ending. In the Harry Potter video, the Sorting Hat tells "Texas Granger" (the Hermione Expy) she should be worried to be "two weeks late". Later in the video, she's seen using a pregnancy test. Also, there's an early joke that "Henri" got his scar in a traffic accident; the main villain wants to kill him for running over his mom in said accident. In the opening of Playboy: The Mansion video on Jeux en Vrac, he mentions that said video is 2017 Saint-Valentin-themed video, and that the only other choice would have a been "a brothel simulator in German". He really had such a game (Reeperbahn Simulator), which eventually got its own Jeux en Vrac video one year and an half later. In the Robin Hood video, the Merry Men include Robin, Little John, Friar Tuck, and Mercy "because the team needed a healer". It comes in handy when a soldier stabs John in the final battle. In the opening of the Weird Dreams video on Jeux en Vrac, he asks: "Did you ever have weird dreams, like really weird, like for instance running in the desert while wearing pajamas and being chased by dick-headed ostriches?" This is a toned-down description of a scene from the game, featured in a later part of the video. His Syphon Filter Jeux en Vrac video has Fred note the non-indicative name of the game by holding an actual syphon filter in his hand and quipping that, "Since I've shown it on screen, it counts as a business expense." The last twenty seconds of the video are dedicated to Fred making as many chores-related puns as possible ("the devs really cleaned up their shit" while holding toilet paper, for example) since, "If I show these on screen I can count them as business expenses too!" In the Club JdG episode about French adventure-themed gameshows, the second of the four shows featured is En Route Pour L'Aventure, which Fred describes as having a very stressful pacing due to its very tight timing and the host constantly insisting the kid contenders acting quicker (both during and between the actual trials). At the end of the video, Fred's conclusion is cut short by the En Route Pour L'Aventure host (or rather Fred impersonating him) because the show's allowed time has expired. In the Daikatana video, the section about the game's disastrous sound design has a gag with Jean-Michel Bruitages committing suicide by defenestration. A few minutes later, the segment about sound design ends with his body's fall landing in Fred's gaming room. | |

Voluntarily invoked in the Ocarina of Time video: instead of the usual bit about people complaining about their broken pots, here we see the pottery merchant become richer and richer and eventually marry Zelda. | |

Adaptation Inspiration | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_ff74ef12 | comment |
Adaptation Inspiration: The show itself, when compared to The Angry Video Game Nerd. While the main premise (an angry retro video game critic getting enraged by the games he reviews, then destroying them) remains the same, the show itself has a whole different brand of humor, featuring deconstructive parodies, Self-Deprecation, Cutaway Gags, intentionally bad jokes and lots of Lampshade Hanging for good measure, with use of incessant profanity greatly downplayed, and Toilet Humor almost absentnote Its most prominent use was due to the game itself calling for it: it was Toilet Tycoon. As far as character traits go, Grenier appears to come closer to The Nostalgia Critic.note In fact, this video judges him the closest to The Nostalgia Critic's style among all French video-bloggers.That being said, the AVGN influence can still be plainly seen in the earlier videos, especially concerning the games both reviewers happen to have tested. The show rarely crosses the line between inspiration and rip-off, one of the most questionable exceptions being ridiculing Obi-Wan Kenobi's pointless remark on the lightsaber being a Jedi's weapon at the beginning of the The Empire Strikes Back NES video game adaptation and subsequently calling him out on not having disclosed how to power-up a jump instead. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Joueur du Grenier (Web Video) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: Tintin in Tibet, most egregiously in the hotel (level 3) where you could be killed by Pekingese dogs, maids with vacuum cleaners, toppled suitcases, waiters with a platter full of goods... Later topped by Home Alone 2's plaza hotel, where the staff and guests are actively trying to murder you. Worse: In a level of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun, your mission during an entire level is to avoid a single suitcase while you're in a train car. Easier said than done. The hoverboard levels in the second Back to the Future Sega Master System game. Hitting any person, dog or sidewalk edge makes the hero lose a life. The Smurfs (by the same people as the two Tintin games mentioned above) features not only Black Smurfs, zombifying flies, ghosts, etc., as enemies, but also rabbits, hurting leaves (yes, leaves), falling apples, unkillable butterflies, and lightning bolts randomly falling from the sky. In Alex Kidd in High Tech World, JdG complains that turning a computer on or wearing a suit of armor triggers a Non-Standard Game Over. He then says that it is absolutely too random to be discovered by another way than Trial-and-Error Gameplay, while the video shows a poorly edited sequence of the game in which Alex Kidd is smashed by a train because he touched a flower pot. | |
