Jon Cozart is an American film grad and YouTube celebrity via his channel "Paint". He is best known for creating the viral music video "After Ever After" and its sequels, which won acclaim for their dark parodies of Disney's Happily Ever After endings. Cozart's gimmick is recording himself in multiple parts and editing them together to create self-duets or self-quartets.WARNING: The trope list below spoils the videos, and the videos themselves spoil the endings of the films (both literally and figuratively). You have been warned.

"Gaining Confidence" Song
 Paint (Web Video) / int_3f3964dd
comment
"Gaining Confidence" Song: "An Awkward Duet,", his collab with doddleoddle, is Exactly What It Says on the Tin- an awkward, uncomfortable duet between two nervous singers, singing about how nervous they are to sing. Toward the end, they start to get into the song and proudly claim that they both sound pretty good...until Dodie goes for a bold, unscripted bit that stops Jon's singing. The duet returns to being awkward as a result.

Terminally-Ill Criminal: In the first "After Ever After" song, Pocahontas talks about her tribe being abused by the colonists through genocide, rape, slavery, and exile. She takes it upon herself to start fighting back and slaughtering the foreign men by the dozens, ending her verse with "I can murder if I please, 'cuz I'm dying of disease". Later, she mentions having STDs.

Gods Need Prayer Badly: Implied to be the main source of Hercules' conflict in "After Ever After 3", as the Christianization of the Mediterranean world such as Ancient Greece would have deprived Herc and his fellow ancient Greek deities of their traditional base of followers.

Downer Ending: The "After Ever After" series changes Disney's happy endings into downers by setting them in the real world. All except for Mulan, of course, who is happy after his transition, but feels bad when he realizes how awful the others have it.

Parody: Cozart's parody songs use the original melodies but his own lyrics. "After Ever After" and "After Ever After 2" are parodies of Happily Ever After endings in the Disney franchise. "Boy Brand" is a parody of Boy Bands and their eventual descent into mid-life crisis — except for One Direction, which is about their manufactured teen appeal. "Progressive Christmas Carols" 'modernizes' famous Christmas songs by changing them to deliver faux-progressive messages.

Anti-Hero: In "After Ever After," Pocahontas starts murdering the colonists — rather violently, at that. But when you consider how appallingly the Natives were treated by the settlers (both in the video and in real life), it's hard not to take her side.

Their parody of boy bands such as N Sync, One Direction, Jonas Brothers, and Backstreet Boys sings about bad stuff the bands went through in real life.
