History Creator / Skiedude

* ZombieApocalypse: Skiedude's Zombie Driver HD video is essentially this.
* {{Zoom}}: Skiedude has this ability to zoom his vision in when he plays ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.
** Can also be considered his EnhanceButton.

* SurpriseCreepy: In both Christmas episodes in Skiedude's ''Garry's Mod'' series, the very first scenes before his intro involved him adding strange props to the game in what appears to be an old run-down building.
** In the first episode, Skiedude goes down an elevator. When the doors reopen, SCP-173 is standing there.
** In the second video it appears Skiedude has created a person made out of a statue bust, some sticks, and prop legs. It apparently is supposed to be Santa Clause because there is a broken baby doll on one knee and a hula girl toy on the other.
--->''"And what do you kids want for Christmas?"'' \\
''"I want a new arm..."''\\
[As himself] ''"Man... I had a messed up childhood."''

* FiveManBand: In Skiedude's ''Kamocraft Subscriber Event Highlights'' video, you see the final Mob Arena Highlight before cutting to a game of paintball in which Skiedude joins the Mob Arena himself and with four other friends.
** TheLeader: Skiedude, obviously.
** TheLancer: Kamo, who is Skiedude's friend in real life and runs the Kamocraft server.
** TheSmartGuy: Timmy the Squid, who seems to be the one who types in full, correct sentences.
** TheBigGuy: Tygoo7, who had the most fierce appearance overall.
** Also he typed ''"Battle Cry!"''into the chat box. Complete with NoIndoorVoice, seven 'Y's, and five exclamation points.
** TheChick: Try-Hard Samurai, who is actually a girl despite the confusing name and skin combo.

* SmashMook: In Skiedude's mod review of ''Darkcraft,'' an enemy that is mod-exclusive that looks like a deformed Enderman is incredibly overpowered. With a total of 160 hearts, it also is incredibly fast, makes loud and obnoxious sounds, and has a powerful punch to boot. It zips in close and begin ''"shanking"'' Skiedude while running absurdly fast in circles around him all while making loud noises. This trope was taken UpToEleven when Skiedude purposely wandered into a crowd of these things.

* FanNickname: Skie.

From there Skiedude continued to change from strictly Minecraft-related content to FPS games such as ''VideoGame/{{Planetside 2}}'' and even {{G-Mod}}. As the channel grew, so did Skiedude's fanbase. He began to get more involved with his fans and started to livestream with them on one of his most commonly-visited ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' servers, Kamocraft. He started a series called 'Subscriber Build-It Challenge,' where the point was to have two subscribers to Skiedude's channel build a specific thing using Creative Mode in Minecraft. Such examples were an individual underwater dwelling, a barnyard, and a danceclub.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: At the end of the second episode in the ''with Timmy Squid,'' series, Skiedude and Timmy chase down a player named RobotTurkey12345 just to marvel at his ridiculous in-game skin.
** The fact the two can't help but be childish with the player is just plain enjoyable.
** The exchange of words is wonderous
-> '''Timmy:''' ''"Give him a motorboat."''
-> '''Skiedude:''' ''"What a skin that is..."''
-> '''Timmy:''' ''"Give him a slap on the heiney..."''
-> '''Skiedude:''' ''[Chuckles]''
Another example of this trope can be seen in the ''"Hamster Gamer vs. Minecraftcoal Subscriber Build-It challenge."'' About two-thirds of the way through the video, Skiedude compliments Minecraftcoal and discovers MCC mounted a map on his tree house wall. Minecraftcoal's skin makes him looks so ecstatic and proud of himself.

* CatchThatPigeon: Skiedude and Timmy the Squid trying to stop RobotTurkey12345 just to look at him.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Timmy the Squid would probably be soft to touch.

* IncrediblyLamePun: ''"We are fighting with bowls."'' ''"Bowl-Gang... ''({{Beat}}) ''...'''''bowl''''' (bull) '''''fighters!'''''" [AnnoyingLaugh]

* PreAsskickingMutter: In Skiedude and Timmy Squid's second collab video, after noticing they are on opposing teams, the two of them glare at each other through a window and taunt each other before the round starts.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In the second half of his first episode with Timmy the Squid, during Spleef Skiedude chases Timmy without him knowing. Skiedude then tells Timmy that he is right behind him, making Timmy panic, whip around and obliterate the ground rapidly while running backwards and making a loud, groaning sound. To which Skiedude puts a Meme face in the corner of the video.
** In the same video, the round of Spleef starts and Timmy is the first to fall out of the arena within the same second the round starts while trying to reach Skiedude. Skiedude laughs and brings up the idea of making a SloMo replay of it. ''Which he does...'' complete with a box framing Timmy for the audience's enjoyment.
