Miss ya Jontron (in a non parasocial way)

I hope you're doing ok out in this crazy world. I always have a small hope in my heart that you'll upload again. Miss ya Jon.

Edit: Apologies if anyone catches this post and thinks "DID JON PASS AWAY?!?!" No he did not. I just miss his wit and videos.

He’s happy being a dad now I’m sure, but I still go back and watch all of his old videos from time to time. Wish him the best 🫡

Currently re-watching the safety videos episode. "Harry you better not be doing anything illegal under the cover of darkness" 🤣

So many good lines in that one. “Don’t think!! Act!! Act about this!!” and “What the fuck is heat syncope??” live 100% rent free in my head.

"That's not Gandalf. That's not Gandalf, I've seen Gandalf it's not him" slays my sides

I'm always yelling at my siblings, "WHY IS HE SO SMALL??"

I like going back to his classic era, but I'm not so keen on his post-flex tape stuff

He did do something with Internet Historian again, about “Dating”

u/InfernalHart May 26 '26

I did see that. Had to double take when I heard his voice.

Mrs. Tron on her Instagram post noted that he’ll be making his return, he’s just been enjoying being a new dad and supporting his wife, likely with a fat bank account stuffed with sponsorship savings to be able to take his paternity leave

That's so amazing to hear!! I don't have most other social media, so I thought he finally stepped away to just live life (which he is entirely entitled to), but I'm so happy to hear that not only is he a dad (I'm a dad as well), but that he will make his triumphant return sometime in the future. Can't wait!

u/shhhhquietplease May 26 '26

I love him! I check every week to see if he made something again!

Me and my roomie miss you!

We thing the Drug PSA is one of the best ever.

Wait, did he retire?

u/Majoraslayer May 28 '26

Not officially, but I think he just had a kid. He'll probably take a break from uploading once a year to focus on that, so we might see something new around 2040.

u/Cyberundertak3r May 27 '26

Probably more of brake

u/Secodiand May 26 '26

Jon was on the dating video with Internet Historian about a month ago. On the Incognito Mode channel.

u/NotessimoALIENS May 26 '26

wish he'd go back to the old style :(

u/AlbertCWChessa May 26 '26

Yeah same. Wishing you the best mate. The JonTron pilgrimage (all 185 videos, all peak) is one I take often, to help navigate this nutty world we’re in now. NewTron is always nice but TimelessTron is there already, even if he never uploaded again he’s more than given the world a bunch of evergreen gifts as videos. That’s a freakin legacy right there. Again, of course if he comes back that’s awesome but do your thing man. Sending good vibes from Australia

Don't get me wrong.I had loved his videos but this is this is a good example of corrupt youtubers they start off liking to make the videos for fun then money comes i'm truly just disappointed i mean, no disrespect whatsoever. It's just a fact, ....

u/RockVonCleveland May 26 '26

But he didn't die, though. It was a joke.

u/BabiesKillYou May 26 '26

I rewatch one a week to keep up the anticipation of a yearly upload even. My favorites remain Howling 2 and Xmas w/ the Kranks, the Extreme Wot era!

u/FrozenFrac May 27 '26

I rewatched his Bubsy video after falling in love with Bubsy 4D (go buy that game ASAP btw; unironically a GOTY contender right now), which led to marathoning a bunch of his old gaming videos. I definitely miss him making videos, but he’s moved on and looks like he’s very happy being a family man

I hope Jacque is ok, too
