History Tropers / BlakeIsHere

'''Please, do not click that [[DarthWiki/ThisExists DarthWiki]] link above, [[CreatorBacklash I regret it a lot]].'''

Hello there! I am [=BlakeIsHere=] (real name: Lucas Blake Ashton). I am British and sometimes anti-social.

----
!! Tropes that describe me and my characters:
* AerithAndBob: There are people with normal names like Lily and Ian, but then are some quirkier names like Jinutiay and Nertokia.
* AmericansHateTingle:
** Blake is not well-liked in Japan, with the main reason being because of the existence of two characters: [[BaseBreakingCharacter Hannah D. Smith]], Ian Smith's cousin and [[TheDragon the Japanization girl]], due to both of them existing as an AuthorTract towards Japanese culture (Anime and {{Franchise/Pokemon}}, mainly).
* AngelicBeauty: [[AlliterativeName Amy the Angel]] is pretty beautiful (and cute) for an angel. Lampshaded in the Series/BreakingBad ParodyEpisode "Blake's Goddamn Right".
--> '''Blake''': Why the hell are the angels or angel-like characters always more pretty than the normal characters here?\\
'''Maddie''': [[BitingTheHandHumor Because the producers wanted it to be that way.]]
* ApprovalOfGod: Blake has approved some fan art of him.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Jokingly, Blake said he wanted to have sex with Helen Henny from Chuck E. Cheese (the cheerleader version, specifically), who, might we add, is a chicken.
* BerserkButton:
** [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample Zero Context Examples]]. I hate these, most of the time I just comment them out, but sometimes I do make a fixed version to fit in with the Wiki's Administrivia/RepairDontRespond rule.
** My least favourite genre is arguably {{Soap Opera}}s, they're just so boring, and not to mention a large amount of them are just badly written in general.
** '''[[DirtyCommunists Communism]]'''.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Blake has so many we can't list them all here.
** Jason & Ossie: "BIG BOY SWING!" or sometimes, "BIG BOY TALL SWING!".
*** [[PluckyComicRelief Ian Smith]] parodies this catchphrase at one point with "SMALL GIRL SWING!".
*** Since September 2022, it has now evolved into a MadLibsCatchphrase which is usually "BIG BOY [adjective] SWING!". The "BIG BOY TALL SWING!" variant has been retired too.
** Another one of Ossie's catchphrases is "Yes Chromebook!", usually said in response when someone says he is not getting his Chromebook, and commonly followed up by or used during his [[AngryDance No Chromebook dance]].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A fair few characters & locations have disappeared with no InUniverse explanation. Justified, since Blake simply forgot about them, and in some cases, replaced them.
* CreatorBacklash: Anything from between Blake [[TookALevelInJerkass forcing someone to cancel one of their shows]] in May 2018, not long after Blake's 13th birthday, to Blake's HeartfeltApology on September 14th, 2021, mainly due to this era being when Blake was OvershadowedByControversy.
* DevelopmentHell: Blake, in some cases, has left some of his projects in development for a long time. One request, specifically, is infamous for this while Blake just said that "[[TemptingFate its future is uncertain]]", meaning it could be either [[{{Cancellation}} cancelled]] or it will be in development hell for [[UpToEleven even longer]].
* DiscreditedTrope: Blake considers a popular [[NationalStereotypes National Stereotype]] depicting Greece as having heavy money issues and debt. He also states how despite it being overused, it is still played straight, meaning it qualifies as an UndeadHorseTrope.
* EnsembleDarkHorse:
** Little Timmy, who was introduced originally as a JokeCharacter meant to imitate the behaviour of a typical child on the internet quickly became popular with fans and also became a FountainOfMemes due to how weird his lines can be sometimes.
** Domer Dompson, Filler-Man, & the Burger Shot worker (later revealed to be called Malcolm), all became so popular they all got their spin-offs.
* HesBack: Duncan Brannan returns as the voice of Chuck E. Cheese. However, it is later revealed through WordOfGod that it is [[SubvertedTrope an impersonation done by Blake]].
* {{Irony}}: [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987506051828031529/989639843724292206/unknown.png This screenshot]] doesn't need explanation.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: In-universe example, Blake always hates it when someone reuses the same idea again.
* MemeticMutation:
** “Why don’t you go chase a truck heading to Arizona, Jasper?!”[[labelnote:Explanation]]Anti-Chuck's line from Blueberri's Creator/ChuckECheese fanfiction, Anti-Chuck. The line is a reference to the songs "Arizona" and "Chasin' Me a Truck."[[/labelnote]]
** "[[ItMakesSenseInContext You are now the Pacifist Chocoholic Businessman. Have fun.]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/919114138/4990716842 This comment]] by [=NyanCat06=] (an alleged paedophile) on one of Blake's works.[[/labelnote]]
** "Ahh me gahd, I'ave an Iresh accent!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from the second episode of [=BlakeIsHere=] And Others Die season 2. It is the only thing that remains of the season as of now.[[/labelnote]]
** "chuck e cheese 2.0 can suck my d"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A TakeThat line against Creator/ChuckECheese[='s=] 2.0 remodel. The "d" part is meant to mean "dick".[[/labelnote]]
** "fuck off [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftOfficeAssistant clippy]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A TakeThat Discord message sent by Blake in his official server as an announcement, often seen as the last one's sister.[[/labelnote]]
** "We return to the action, again."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The line usually said following the advert breaks in episodes.[[/labelnote]]
** "'''DA SKETCH BOOK!'''"
** WebVideo/PoohsAdventures In Film/ChuckECheeseInTheGalaxy5000
** "Let me just quickly get out my translator!"
*** "[[UpToEleven EVERYONE]] [[TheReveal HAS A TRANSLATOR?!]]"
*** "[[GratuitousForeignLanguage Bog i Serbi?]]"
** "no"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous reply to [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/920310370/4996043136 this comment]], in which he rejected Blake's request. Blake decided to reply with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.[[/labelnote]]
*** "fuck no"
** Blake's [[RecursiveTranslation Recursive Translations]] have started to become memes in themselves, for example, when [[https://www.deviantart.com/ohmmy75/art/Ser-biaing-My-Soul-Serbiaball-TF-933134606 this story Blake requested]] came out, [[StatusQuoIsGod as per tradition]], Blake read it, but due to it being in Thai, Blake had to translate it into English, but because he used Google Translate, it became messed up.
*** There exists another translation of it, which can be seen [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/933134606/5026050328 here]].
* MemeticPsychopath: Gareth Bennett.
* MetaGuy: Ian Joshua Smith. Due to being GenreSavvy, he often lampshades, exploits, deconstructs and invokes tropes.
* MissingEpisode: [=BlakeIsHere=] And Others Die Season 2 was removed after the writer of that season [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt had a falling out with Blake and blocked him]]. Blake has confirmed that he has no backups of the episodes, meaning the episodes are completely lost and unavailable.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Blue and orange are his [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience flagship colours]].
* OvershadowedByControversy: Since 2018, Blake has been accused of multiple types of misbehaviour, including {{Cyberbullying}}, harassing, [[ExecutiveMeddling forcing someone to]] [[{{Cancellation}} cancel]] one of their shows, supporting rape at one point, [[{{Demonization}} demonizing]] [[PeripheryHatedom preschool shows]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking request spamming]].
** [[https://www.deviantart.com/bigoofers1001/art/Giving-into-neutrality-Switzerlandball-Tf-Request-919529951 This story]] deconstructs it, showing that Blake had lost any respect after the controversy, even from his family.
* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Azure Sauber is a non-binary character, and is voiced by a non-binary actress in the UK version, but is averted in the US version.
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: The suspension of Blake's Website/DeviantArt account was originally this, as DA has served as Blake's main website in terms of activity since he joined in 2017. This is now an AvertedTrope since he returned to the website in January 2023.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Ossie is sometimes spelt "Ossy", as is with the credits.
** One episode's subtitles incorrectly called Chuck E. "Chucky" due to ViewerNameConfusion and CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer.
* SuckECheeses: British Chuck E. Cheese's is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a British version of ''Chuck E. Cheese'', and features British versions of the CEC cast.
** This counts as WriteWhatYouKnow as well, as Blake himself is a CEC fan.
** Ironically, an actual ''Chuck E. Cheese'' is in Carlsberg City.
* UnreliableVoiceover: PlayedForLaughs in one video where Blake talks about the time he committed arson on the mayor's house.

! [=BlakeIsHere=] Network section (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Launching in 1987, [=BlakeIsHere=] Network (formerly [=BlakeTehGreat=] Channel from 1987 to 2020) is the [=BlakeIsHere=] Group's TV channel. And one of the first modern satellite TV channels in the UK, and following Sky One's closure in 2021, the oldest satellite TV channel in the UK still in operation [[note]]Not counting MTV Europe, since that is Europe-wide[[/note]].
----
!! This channel provides examples of:
* AdoredByTheNetwork: Due to how long the channel has been around, many shows have been promoted or aired heavily. The ones below are just a few notable examples.
** During its [[LongRunner over 21-year run]], the third generation of the [=BlakeIsHere=] franchise was aired and promoted a lot, especially on weekends, usually having 2-3 hours of airtime on the channel.
** During 2020, the channel '''worshipped''' ''Numberblocks'' to hell and back, it was promoted and aired even more than the other shows on the channel, hell, even the [=BlakeIsHere=] franchise, the FlagshipFranchise of the company, didn't get promoted or aired that much due to this [[note]]The movie was an exception since it was the start of a ContinuityReboot.[[/note]]! This was most likely due to the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic causing schools to close. This all ended when Creator/TheBBC sued the [=BlakeIsHere=] Group for multiple reasons, causing [[ScrewedByTheLawyers the show to be taken off the channel]].
*** This was taken UpToEleven in November 2020, when the channel aired nothing but Numberblocks. It got so bad that people were theorising that the channel would suffer NetworkDecay and become a preschool channel or a sister channel to Creator/CBeebies.
** The now-defunct [=BlakeIsHere=] Classics block enshrined WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends, as it was aired & promoted heavily, both inside and outside of the block. Even after the block ended, the show is still there and is now the most-aired show on the channel.
*** In the final two months of the [=BlakeIsHere=] Classics block before it was killed off in September 2022, it was the only show airing.
*** The [=BlakeIsHere=] Network 2 channel now only airs Thomas, except for some Creator/ChuckECheese [=showtapes=] & songs in the early hours and the occasional older episode from the [=BlakeIsHere=] franchise (late Gen 1 and Gen 2 mainly).
** On August 1st, 2022, [=BlakeIsHere=] Network officially became a 24 hour channel. The catch? From midnight to 5 am every day, the channels air old shows that have been ScrewedByTheNetwork in the past, followed by two hours of the [[AdoredByTheNetwork network darling]] WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends (previously Alphabest Friends), before the breakfast show [=BlakeIsHere=]: A.M.
* BreakingNewsInterruption: Will almost always happen anytime whenever the death of either a former English Prime Minister (most recently occurred with Margaret Thatcher in 2013), a former Head of State of Carlsbergia (most recently occurred with Rhodri Morgan in 2017), an incumbent leader of a country (first occurred with Emperor Showa / Hirohito in 1989 and most recently with Vladimir Putin in 2022), a member of the English royal family (first occurred with Princess Diana in 1997), or someone who is related to the company or it shows (e.g. the death of the creator of the [=BlakeIsHere=] franchise, Labret Claus Forrest III (better known under the anagram Albert Lucas Forrest III) in 2020).
* NetworkToTheRescue: After Creator/TheBBC stopped airing Creator/ChuckECheese [=showtapes=] on BBC One in 2007, which they have aired since 1979, the [=BlakeIsHere=] Group brought the rights to air them. And unlike the BBC, they have the original US voice cast, as opposed to dubbing it over with a UK voice cast, and they have kept it ever since.[[note]][[SubvertedTrope They later decided to bring back]] the SameLanguageDub [[LateExportForYou later on in 2012]], however.[[/note]]
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: ''Many'' shows have been screwed over, mainly imports but some originals have been screwed. The ones below are just a few notable examples.
** While the show was initially a success for the channel and was one of the most popular shows for almost a year, The Crazy-Ass Group Show started to be screwed over around the time of the August 2022 rebranding. The official reason is unconfirmed, but the most likely reason was that the company's contract with Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery was suspended due to ExecutiveMeddling on Warner's end.
** The midday talk show [=BlakeIsHere=] Discusses, after being treated fairly well, started suffering from this after September 2022. The late-night rerun slot, which has been there since the show's inception, got axed in October 2022 in favour of more reruns of the [[AdoredByTheNetwork network darling]] WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: It's not uncommon to see the channel's name have a "the" at the beginning, therefore referring to it as "the [=BlakeIsHere=] Network", notably in promos.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: The suspension of Blake's Website/DeviantArt account might be this, as DA has served as Blake's main website in terms of activity since he joined in 2017.

* StockParodyJokes:
** Saying that the series takes place in a CrapsackWorld where everyone is either a {{Jerkass}}, a [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]], an AbsoluteXenophobe or a [[TheDitz Ditz]].

** Helen Corn[[labelnote:Explanation]]A CallBack line to a moment in which someone [=DMed=] Blake on Discord RuleThirtyFour of [[Creator/ChuckECheese Helen Henny]], [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987506051828031529/987900613239132220/SPOILER_Helen.png this image, specifically]] (warning: NSFW). This has resulted in Blake commonly Memeticly referencing the event.[[/labelnote]]
*** In general, calling porn "[[IncrediblyLamePun corn]]" has become a meme on its own.

** Blake is not well-liked in Japan, with the main reason being because of the existence of two characters: [[BaseBreakingCharacter Hannah D. Smith]], Ian Smith's cousin and [[TheDragon the Japanization girl]], due to both of them basically existing as an AuthorTract towards Japanese culture (Anime and {{Franchise/Pokemon}}, mainly).

** Domer Dompson, Filler-Man, & the Burger Shot worker (later revealed to be called Malcolm), all became so popular they all got their own spin-offs.

A 15 year old in Blake's school. Really obsessed with his Chromebook.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: A fair few characters & locations have disappeared with no InUniverse explanation. Justified, since Blake simply forgot about them, and in some cases, replaced them.
* CreatorBacklash: Anything from between Blake [[TookALevelInJerkass forcing to someone to cancel on of their shows]] in May 2018, not long after Blake's 13th birthday, to Blake's HeartfeltApology on September 14th, 2021, mainly due to this era being when Blake was OvershadowedByControversy.
* DevelopmentHell: Blake, in some cases, has left some of his projects in development for a long time. One request, specifically, is infamous for this while Blake just said that "[[TemptingFate its future is uncertain]]", meaning it could be either [[{{Cancellation}} canceled]] or it will be in development hell for [[UpToEleven even longer]].

** Little Timmy, who was introduced originally as a JokeCharacter meant to imitate the behavior of a typical child on the internet quickly became popular with fans and also became a FountainOfMemes due to how weird his lines can be sometimes.
