History Characters / TheSpoonyExperiment

** But not Blitzball-proof, though.
* {{Asexuality}}: In the commentary for the ''Film/TheBeastmaster 2'', Noah says that he always thought of Insano being almost asexual, and that back when he planned on the Nurse appearing, she was going to have the hots for Insano but he never noticed because he was too focused on science. Of course, he said this in response to EpilepticTrees fans put forth suggesting that Insano was gay after he pulled out a literal {{Gaydar}} and acted defensive when Spoony asked why he had one to begin with. In the {{Crossover}} video "Interlocking with Insano", he did [[DepravedHomosexual roofie and rape two guys]], though.

* ContinuitySnarl / NegativeContinuity: "There is no continuity, there is only Insano", as Spoony put it in a commentary. Insano's backstory is rewritten video to video as Noah sees fit, and he's variably been Spoony's alter-ego, his future self come back through time, or a separate person.
* CloudCuckoolander

* ForScience!!
* GigglingVillain

* ItIsPronouncedTropay: The 'blagole' (black hole)

* PresidentEvil: Inspired by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Edea]] and [[{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]]. His running mate was Fu Manchu. WordOfGod says he was eventually impeached, with an ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' episode revealing it was because of a liaison with a prostitute.

Noah Antwiler's Parson Russell Terrier / Pug mix, a former stray he adopted from a shelter. In the continuity of Spoony's reviews, she was pulled out of a top hat by Simcoe the Magician.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Does this a lot in Spoony's Counter Monkey vlogs.
** This extends to Funny Offscreen Event - in one vlog, Noah notes that she's having a dream, and wakes her up, which confuses her. In one of the bloopers for Linkara's Mr. T #2, she can be heard chewing on a squeaky toy, which annoys Dr. Insano.

* HeroesLoveDogs
* HilariousInHindsight: When Spoony introduced her, he mentioned that "You probably won't see her very often."

* StunnedSilence / QuizzicalTilt: She's developed a rather adorable "WTF" face whenever Spoony's doing something that looks ridiculous.

* FanNickname: Fanfic writers typically refer to him as "Soi" or "Sonny".

* TheCharacterDiedWithHim[=/=]RespectForTheDead: Spoony retired the character following the death of the real Wrestling/UltimateWarrior.

* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly observed during sessions of WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign, where he's quick with the banhammer against the live chat. Mostly he uses it against people who subscribe to the {{GIFT}}, as demonstrated when he [[PapaBear started kicking people]] for [[DudeNotFunny suggesting violence or rape]] on [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Iron Liz]] [[DisproportionateRetribution just because they didn't like her]] [[PungeonMaster puns]].

* OrwellianEditor: Spoony tends to delete some unconstructive or offensive criticism from his forum and comments section.
** It got bad enough on ''Wrestle Wrestle'' videos, where Spoony introduced videos made by Sean Fausz and the Critical Marine that he deleted several comments, banned several people, and now neither Sean nor the Marine's videos allow you to post comments.
** The comments section of his ''Kickassia'' DVD promo has been locked as well.
** And, then when he linked to some magic cards someone made for him, and someone else pointed out an entire card deck made for him, well...that update had to go away.

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Literally comes out of nowhere to scare the shit out of us, and Spoony.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Including FrickinLaserBeams and a SelfDestructMechanism.

* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:Attempted to kill Spoony, despite the fact that it basically means killing himself]] in a parody of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia's]] plot.

** In his review of ''Film/TheDungeonmaster'', he lists off about a dozen useful functions they have - death rays, telescopic vision, X-ray vision, hypno vision, night vision, flash bang protection, digital photography of "like a zillion megapixels", contain a terabyte of mp3 space, they open his garage door, work as a universal remote for his TV, and are connected to Facebook and Twitter. (though they are largely [[InformedAbility Informed Abilities]]).

* [[spoiler:BiggerBad: The end of the ''Ultima'' retrospective reveals his plans have been in the works since Spoony began his site, and it's implied he's been behind a lot of the events that have occurred.]]

* JerkAss: The Spoony character. Let's see; he raped WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], killed prostitutes because the voices in his head told him to, and declared that, if he ever came across the creators of ''Bloodwings'', that he would stab them in the brain. Essentially, he is the very image of Jerkassery himself.

* TheCastShowoff: Spoony usually finds a way to integrate the tricks he taught her into her appearances.

Spoony's current girlfriend who has already made an appearance in the Breaking Dawn: Part II Drunk Vlog, [[http://nerdvice.com/category/shows-and-podcasts/april-von-lon/ she also has makes her own videos on youtube and nerdvice.]]

* {{Smark}}: Spoony fits many aspects of the traditional smark, pickiness, extensive research, knowledge and love of Indy stars, a deeply cynical attitude towards wrestling, RootingForTheEmpire, Spoony is however a lot nicer than the stereotypical Smark and usually has good things to say about almost every wrestler, hell, the man gave Wrestling/JohnCena and HulkHogan props.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Mostly while in-character, much like [[Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses the rest of his colleagues]].

* CoolVersusAwesome: Has gone up against Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Racist GoldenAge {{Superman}}, Giant GreenLantern...

-->'''Spoony''': The sex scene in this movie is metaphorical of showing Sybil Danning's jugs. Okay, so that's probably not a metaphor, but for some reason, I just completely lost focus and... forgot what a metaphor even is.

* PetTheDog: At the beginning of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review, he said [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome the soundtrack is "excellent"]], [[SceneryPorn the cutscenes are "striking and memorable"]], and the battle system is "really, really damn good." Of course, he said all of this just before tearing ''X'' a new one.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Some of his jokes actually do [[DudeNotFunny cross the line]]. When not in "review mode," Spoony is much calmer and nicer; he explains in one commentary that no, he's not actually going to stab anyone in the brain. He also is on record as (sort-of) apologizing for that "Final Fantasy VIII sucks and you suck for liking it!" line by elaborating that since he's devoted so much time to it, and plays the "song you only listen to if you're a pussy" that he must be a pussy too.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Miles is a nice guy, to the point that Noah gets defensive at any accusation that Miles or any normal police officer condones this character's behaviour. That doesn't stop him from using this as a joke.

* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mad Scientist's pink fuzzyball-shaped son]]:

* MrFanservice: Just look at how [[DoubleEntendre long]] his FetishFuel [[http://fetishfuel.wikia.com/wiki/The_Spoony_Experiment page]] is!

* DepravedBisexual: A list of the people Spoony has "spooned": [[spoiler: The Nostalgia Chick, That Chick With the Goggles, Benzaie, The Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Bennet the Sage and Lord Kat (As punishment for losing a game of ''SugarWiki/RobotUnicornAttack'' against 8-Bit Mickey)]].

* DepravedBisexual: A list of the people Spoony has "spooned": [[spoiler: The Nostalgia Chick, That Chick With the Goggles, Benzaie, The Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Bennet the Sage and Lord Kat (As punishment for losing a game of RobotUnicornAttack against 8-Bit Mickey)]].

** And in his review of Ultima 7, he quotes "In the Air Tonight" by PhilCollins.[[/folder]]

* TheMoralSubstitute: He reviews these positively, as he praises the ''LeftBehind'' video game.

* CutenessProximity: Gets a minor case of this when he sees a little girl at PAX East at the ''{{Pokemon}} Online'' table jumping up and down excitedly, while saying that even though he's outgrown Pokemon someone else is certainly excited about it. D'aww.

* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly observed during sessions of SpoonysCampaign, where he's quick with the banhammer against the live chat. Mostly he uses it against people who subscribe to the {{GIFT}}, as demonstrated when he [[PapaBear started kicking people]] for [[DudeNotFunny suggesting violence or rape]] on [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Iron Liz]] [[DisproportionateRetribution just because they didn't like her]] [[PungeonMaster puns]].

* [[BackFromTheDead Back from being Merged With His Clone]]: Recently made a cameo on [[SadPandaQAndA Panda Q&A]], despite it being after he merged with the clone. [[BlatantLies And that was the only nonsensical thing that occured in the history of Panda Q&A]].

** He still is. Just an adult version.

* TheArtifact: Burton is left over from the earliest days of the site when it had a naked MST3K rippoff metaplot, which ended before Spoony even started doing videos.

* ShoutOut: He's named after Jack Burton from ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'', Spoony's favorite movie. The other two ''[=MST3K=]'' robots that never got built would have been named Sorbo (after actor Kevin Sorbo) and Morgan (after actress Morgan Webb). Also, Burton often gets to take on a role related to Spoony's current review:

-->'''Benzaie:''' "[[Film/ThePrincessBride Beary?? Did you hear that?? That was the sound of ultimate suffering!]] My heart made that sound [[SonicUnleashed the first time I saw Sonic turning into a werewolf...]] The Spoony One makes it now."

** Hit this in his v-log on the reboot of ''{{X-COM}}'' when the press release at E3 describes the RPG elements as "just like ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''". He seems genuinely shocked and angered by the fact the makers consider it comparable to ''Tactics'', simply because they threw in a few strategic elements by making the game a squad-based shooter.

* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: In his E3 videos, concerning the new {{X-COM}} game. He is extremely [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks unhappy with the remake]] and its accompanying [[SequelDisplacement risk of replacing his X-COM with the new one in the minds of most gamers]]. His counterpart? ''[[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]]'', of all people.

The main character of the {{Ultima}} series. [[DudeWheresMyRespect Frequently frustrated by the fact that no one knows who he is,]] despite being the literal [[MessianicArchetype Christ figure]] of Britannia.

* MessianicArchetype: He ''is'' the {{Ultima}} series Christ figure. Though, it doesn't stop him from a being a foul mouthed, lazy, womanizing jackass sometimes, as seen in ''The Serpent's Isle''.

The main villain of {{Ultima}}: Runes of Virtue. After hearing about Spoony complaining about the game he is in he seeks to annoy him.

Played by Miles, he comes in to attack [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]] when reviewing the ''{{Ultima}}'' series.

A parody of [[ProfessionalWrestling Professional Wrestler]] the Ultimate Warrior, played by Spoony, who shows up in Linkara and Spoony's joint reviews of his [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs bizarre]] and horrible tie-in comic, and occasionally in Spoony's other reviews. Somehow gained a [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] ring, and is now working for the evil interdimensional god, [[{{Ultima}} the Guardian]].
