** In the ''TTT'' episode [[https://youtu.be/HRKe8RsgCfI?t=468 "White House Down"]], he sets a precedent for perhaps one of the ''worst'' rounds of the game in the company's history. He ends up shooting the innocent Ben for more or less no reason, kills Ross even though he'd already killed Smith (a traitor that round), picks up the [[SuicideAttack "jihad bomb"]] that Ross had looted from Smith and tries using it on the treacherous Trott... and completely misses him, ''killing the detective'' as well as himself. Everyone chews him out for his mistake, and the game gives him the following "award" to lampshade his stupidity.
--> '''KARMA CONSCIOUS'''. Lewis didn't stop after killing two of their teammates. Three is their lucky number.

Lewis Brindley is the co-founder of the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, and known for co-op LetsPlay series of numerous games, including ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and competitive ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'', to which he frequently pairs up with LetsPlay/SimonLane. The long-suffering de facto boss of the Yogscast, Lewis also hosts the podcast ''Podcast/TheYoGPoD'' with Simon.
The more cautious out of him and Simon at games, but often no less silly and bizarre in his commentary.

!! Series featuring Lewis:
* ''Podcast/TheYoGPoD''
!!Lewis Brindley provides examples of:
* {{Adorkable}}: Particularly when LetsPlay/HannahRutherford's around.
* AffablyEvil: In ''Machinima/YogLabs''. In real life, you can drop the evil part.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Usually when he's playing ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.
--> '''Lewis:''' (after just discovering that there was a tunnel from Israphel's lair to his and Simon's portal) Oh my God! ''A sheep just fell from the sky as well,'' but this is our portal!
* AxCrazy: His ''Machinima/YogLabs'' persona seems to have gone completely off the deep end.
* BerserkButton: He can sometimes go into a rant when he's particularly fed up of a certain religious aspect. LetsPlay/SimonLane [[NotSoDifferent calls him out on this]] from time to time.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tends to happen when he's particularly tired. In some instances, he starts ranting with pretty much no reason, simply because so much has gone wrong.
* CatchPhrase:
** Hello, and ''welcome''...to the Yogscast!
** Calling Simon or an NPC "friend".
** The "hup" sound he makes when doing a jumping puzzle. And sometimes just while jumping in general.
** The thing is... (It got to the point where he actually ended up with compilations of this played on ''Podcast/TheYoGPoD''.)
** Oh God Simon, [[MadLibsCatchPhrase X]]?
** /give honeydew 46 1
** This is looking a bit dodgy...
** [[MoralityChain Simon...]]
** Balls to it!
** It's good, isn't it?
** [But] don't worry about that.
* TheChessmaster: In ''Civilization 5. Everyone else just dances on his fingertips. To date, out of the many seasons they have done, Lewis has won all but two of them, and both of those losses have been very narrow.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Occasionally, though usually not to a large extent. For example, during the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory'' series, LetsPlay/SimonLane asks why Lewis has two stone axes. Lewis replies by saying he doesn't; he has two ''iron'' axes.
* CreepyChild: He does a really good impression of one during the second Halloween special of ''Podcast/TheYoGPoD''.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: At gaming in general, though he's more competent than Simon. Best shown in ''VideoGame/Civilization V'', where everyone gets curbstomped by him.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:After investing enough points in technology in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V: Brave New World'', he nukes LetsPlay/{{Rythian}} which cripples him even further, starts attacking the already failing LetsPlay/DuncanJones, begins to destroy LetsPlay/{{Sjin}} and starts giving LetsPlay/{{Sips}} a hard time]]. Even if Sips managed to delay him, Lewis was the obvious victor of the game.
* TheDreaded: In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'', everybody learns to fear him, since Lewis is frighteningly competent.
* EpicFail: ZigZaggedTrope in ''LetsPlay/MoonQuest''. [[spoiler:His effort to land on the moon resulted in him suffocating since he forgot his oxygen gear and just died. On the other hand, he did actually land the rocket properly, unlike LetsPlay/DuncanJones and LetsPlay/SimonLane who both crashed and exploded]].
* EvilGenius: In ''Machinima/{{YogLabs}}''.
* FatAndSkinny: The skinny to LetsPlay/SimonLane's fat.
* GenreSavvy: Sometimes, sometimes not. Certainly more often than IdiotHero LetsPlay/SimonLane.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: [[spoiler:His effort to use the Stargate Portal]] in ''Machinima/YogLabs'' get many staff members killed, and he almost gets killed along with Herp and LetsPlay/SimonLane. He ends up destroying the portal to stop the same thing happening again.
* GrammarNazi: Towards ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' map writers. Also referred to as Grammar [[AdolfHitler Hitler]] and Grandma Hitler by LetsPlay/SimonLane.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Fell into this in the ''LetsPlay/MoonQuest'' series, upon realising just how little he, LetsPlay/SimonLane and LetsPlay/DuncanJones were achieving.
* TheHyena: There are occasions where he starts ''crying'' from laughter.
* IdiotHero: While not as bad as LetsPlay/SimonLane, he does have his moments.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Upon LetsPlay/DuncanJones and LetsPlay/{{Sjin}}'s utter failures in ''VideoGame/FarmingSimulator'' during the 2012 Honey Drive, Lewis storms off... and returns with a bottle of vodka, which he gradually sips, shouting at Duncan all the while.
* KleptomaniacHero: In games, mainly because he's NotSoAboveItAll.
* MadScientist:
** Dabbles in this during his Mod Spotlight of the Apothecarium and Uranium mods... which he installed and showcased in the same world. Picture Lewis running away from a giant slime and a mutant slime he created by fleeing to Verigan's Hold from ''ShadowOfIsraphel'', with ''nuclear reactors'' held inside, by going through a giant hole blown open by a nuclear explosion. Right after he had thrown a bunch of potions at some friendly dogs that belonged to someone else and set them on fire. Lampshaded by Simon.
%%** In ''Machinima/YogLabs'', he's also quite bad.
* MoralityChain: Sometimes acts this way to LetsPlay/SimonLane.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Lewis initially came across as the OnlySaneMan of the group, back in the days when there were fewer members and he was the most competent. Since then, the antics of the others seem to have rubbed off on him, as he now cheats more often, trolls his other teammates, and ends up SuddenlyShouting with no provocation.
* OnlySaneMan: During the ''{{Magicka}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Trine}} 2'' {{Lets Play}}s, he is this compared to [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]] and LetsPlay/SimonLane. He was this back in the day moreso, but has since thrown the SanityBall to the other guys, and is now as absurd as the others.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: Describes ''Wolf Quest'' as "the most detailed dog customisation creator I've ever seen outside of fantasy [=RPGs=]".
* RedOniBlueOni: Lewis is the Blue Oni to Simon's Red Oni, being comparatively more focused and levelheaded. At least initially, the differences were more obvious, since there were fewer people. Nowadays, Lewis has shown he's NotSoAboveItAll.
* SanityBall: Initially, Lewis is the only guy focused in ''ShadowOfIsraphel'' and the ''LetsPlay/JaffaFactory Tekkit'' series, but in later instalments such as ''LetsPlay/{{MoonQuest}}'', ''LetsPlay/{{JaffaQuest}}'' and ''LetsPlay/HoleDiggers'', along with non-''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' content like the various ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' and ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} V'' series, ''Trucking Tuesday'' and the ''VideoGame/{{Trials}} Fusion'' live action challenge he proves he's NotSoAboveItAll and that the "sanity" part was more relative than anything else. Whether or not he's the OnlySaneMan or as bizarre as the others now changes every episode.
* SarcasmMode: He goes into this every now and then.
* SpotOfTea: This is one of Lewis' favorite drinks.
* StraightMan: He often provides the setup for some of LetsPlay/SimonLane's funny comments or actions, whether he intends to or not.
* SuddenlyShouting: When particularly angered, Lewis will start shouting with no warning. This is often because the group has done nothing, such as in Galacticraft. He may or may not have had a lot to drink in these cases.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Slightly. Lewis hasn't exactly gotten stupider, but he's become considerably wackier.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He seems to be very fond of tea.
* VerbalTic: "The thing is...", along with several other Yogscast members.
