JobbytheHong

Katawut Hongthong (born: ), better known online as JobbytheHong, is an American YouTuber who mainly makes toy reviews. He also frequently streams himself drawing, playing video games and recording reviews.
==History==
Jobby originally created his DeviantArt account in 2009, where he posted fanart of franchises like Batman and Transformers. He eventually started his YouTube channel in late 2014 and almost immediately started creating figure reviews on this channel. Early on, he uploaded other types of videos, such as "Jobby Animations" before eventually settling into his style of (mostly) toy reviews, with other types of content appearing as time went on, such as movie reviews. 
As he continued producing videos, he would learn to perfect his style of reviewing, focusing on snappy editing, quick wits and dark (and occasionally horny) sense of humor to help his videos stand out amongst his mostly PG-rated peers. A select few of his reviews would include short story arcs, mostly involving the different characters and running gags in his videos.
==Series==
===Toy reviews===
The main form of content on his channel. A majority of the reviews are focused on Transformers figures, especially more expensive third-party figures (not legally sanctioned by either Hasbro or Takara-Tomy) and those of Takara-Tomy's "Transformers Masterpiece" series. He also will occasionally review figures from other properties such as Batman, Godzilla and various anime, however not as frequently. Initially Jobby's reviews included slight pieces of stop-motion. While these were initially phased out around 2016, recently Jobby has begun re-incorporating stop motion into his reviews.
===Jobby Animations/Jobby Draws===
Before he became a toy reviewer, Jobby did consider being a cartoonist as his dream job, but lost motivation after realizing how difficult it is for most cartoonists to find good employment. Still, when his channel was young he did do animation videos, but those videos would stop being produced as toy reviewing became the main focus of his channel.
After several years however, Jobby began to show more art in his videos, eventuall creating a series on his channel dedicated to the art he creates. "Jobby Draws" is a series on his second channel, Jobby2, where he and his friends will draw ideas, they come up with, or fan requests.
===fAIL Box===
This intentionally misspelled show is one of a handful of live shows that Jobby has on his YouTube channel. The series focuses on Jobby showing off what his fans had sent him to his (now-closed) PO Box, ranging from fanart, gifts, food, and occasionally loose change. The series went through multiple changes in terms of its format. Filming location aside, the fAIL Box used to be a periodic series, with episodes coming out randomly. It was since changed to be a once-a-month series, later downsizing on fAIL Box content to only read five letters out of a large pile per episode. After the fAIL Box closed, the series changed to go to a live stream format. On June 22nd, the fAIL Box series finally came to an end on his second channel, Jobby2.
The series would return on his main channel to an extent in August 2021. Like the previous episodes, only five letters would be read out of a backlog of letters from the PO Box that were not opened, and the packages were all purchases that Jobby had made, or product samples sent by toy companies for him to review.
===Just Playin'===
Just Playin' is a newer series where Jobby will play with toys, often for the first time. Usually, he will give his opinions on the figure while handling it, and it is possible that he will give some figures the honor of their own review. 
==Characters==
*Swivel Man: A manchild who is obsessed with swivelling joints in action figures. He wears a beanie and pink anime shirt who sometimes acts mischievous and cunning, but more often than not foolish and dimwitted. He first appeared in a review for the Super-Posable Spider-Man review in 2016 and after his death and rebirth in 2018 and 2020 respectively, is now a reoccurring character.
*Gundam Ghost: An apparition who represents the toxic Gundam fanbase. He was banished to 1,000 years of purgatory, but now comes to torment Jobby because he won't review Gundam figures or model kits anymore. After his banishment and return in 2018 and 2020 respectively, he is now a reoccurring character.
*Benny Fine: A representation of a producer of the channel who is obsessed with money and tries to make Jobby's channel trendier and obey YouTube guidelines as well as get sponsorships. He wears a suit jacket and glasses and has long, bushy hair. Originally created for his Digivolving WarGreymon Review back in 2016, he's often portrayed as the antagonist in most videos, and usually appears before, during or after sponsorship segments. As the name suggests, he is based off of the former REACT YouTube channel owner, Benny Fine.
*Batman: A mysterious, deranged, but mostly harmless creature who appears from time to time in Jobby's videos. He is often seen with a plushie of Pen Pen, whom he once traded for a Mangosteen.
*Area 51 Guards: Are guards of Area 51. They both wear Synderverse Batman masks and leather jackets, but they wield different weapons. They are usually seen in Jobby's SH Monsterarts reviews.
*JobbytheSong: A version of Jobby who's supposed to be his more naive, younger self. Jobby attempts to forget about his past, but it will usually come to haunt his mind. As revealed in the S.H. Monsterarts Shin Godzilla review from 2018, JobbytheHong and JobbytheSong are one and the same, with the latter being from the past.
*Transformers Fan: A representation of Jobby's audience who accuses him for disliking Takara Tomy and defends the company as well as berates him for his hypocrisy and stupidity. He is shown in different clothing, but almost always has an Optimus Prime mask on. When he appears, he utters the phrase “BUT JOBBY!” before going on to complain about anything Jobby has said to annoy him the slightest.
*Batman Fan: A representation of Jobby's audience who know everything about DC universe and willing to correct him. He wears Batman glasses and turquoise shorts. He appeared only in one video so far (Revoltech "Joker" and "Harley Quinn" double review), but he might come back in future videos.

*"PUTITINMYA-."
*"BUT JOBBY!" (Transformers Fan's catchphrase)

*"Youcanputyourweedinthere." (Used whenever Jobby notices a gap in a figure)

==Trivia==
*Jobby had expressed that as a child, he had desired to become a paleontologist, but changed his mind after realizing that this required him to stay in the sun for long periods of time.
*Jobby had a girlfriend at one point, whom he said was responsible for giving him his first Batman mask that he used to wear on occasion when on-camera. However, on at least two fAIL Box episodes, he had mentioned that they were no longer together, and his ex had hooked up with someone else almost immediately following their breakup.
*Jobby is a huge fan of the Beast Wars Transformers series, especially of the character Dinobot. He was even able to get voice actor David Kaye (who voiced Megatron in the Beast Era and the Unicron Trilogy, as well as Optimus Prime in Transformers: Animated) to make a voice appearance in his Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron, ToyWorld Beast General and TransArt BWM-06 (with latter two being of Megatron's Transmetal 1 form) reviews.
*Jobby has a second channel called Jobby2, where he live streams gaming and drawing, as well as uploading content not meant for the main channel.
*Jobby and his friend Omar - also known as the musician CIVIL - have released three songs together: Red Dress, based on the movie , Swivel-Man No Uta, a rewritten version of "Devilman No Uta" from based off the Swivel-Man character and Review More Gundam, a diss track on Jobby by the Gundam Ghost.
*Jobby primarily uses three songs in his videos:
**Dispersion Relation by Kevin MacLeod, which is used during transformation segments.
**Swivel-Man No Uta by JobbytheHong and CIVIL, which is used during posing segments.
**Red Dress by JobbytheHong and CIVIL, which is Jobby's outro.
**Jobby's old outro from 2014-2020 was the Kevin MacLeod track, Off to Osaka. He occasionally plays it in his videos.
*Jobby started the hashtag known as #BackLivesMattter, which he mentions whenever a Transformers figure has a ton of kibble on it's back (usually to the figure's detriment). The only way he can excuse a terrible back is if there is no way to make it as animation accurate as it should be (An example would be the FansToys Rouge, a third party figure of the Transformers character Arcee). Following the May 2020 protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Jobby stopped mentioning the hashtag and has rarely the phrase "Back Lives Matter" since then. However, he still occasionally flashes it on screen in the form of text if he deems a figure's back to be especially terrible.
*The SH Monsterarts Shin Godzilla review has multiple references to The End of Evangelion, The Dark Knight, The Room, and Shin Godzilla.
*In his Threezero MDLX Bumblebee review, it was revealed that Jobby is a college drop-out, though this could be a comedic quip.
