History Tropers / Kif

* WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons

Like many tropers, Kif finds it far easier to rip off Megan Crewe than to talk about himself. Here's best attempt:

Hello, there. I'm Kif. Yes, my name is a ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}. Anyway, I live... [[YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries in America.]] I don't watch much TV; I'm mainly here for the literature articles. I have [[http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/12248943-mike a GoodReads account]], if you want my reviews. I have also written [[DarthWiki/GoneAgain a fan fic of]] Literature/{{Gone}}, and although I'll probably never publish it, feel free to see what it's like. And, finally, I've done a few reviews for this site, most notably my highly controversial [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/review_comments.php?id=10593 review of Soul Eater]].

[[folder: Some things that are awesome, alphabetical order, with asterisks indicating pages I created:]]
* Theatre/AChorusLine (I'm a dancer. I'm not ''allowed'' to dislike this show.)
* ADoseOfBuckley (I live and breathe off of his cynical attitude.)
* Music/TheAcademyIs (''I never heard the words that were spoken, with the rumored nights, with the rondez vous...'')
* Music/AllTimeLow (''Come back to the place we knew before; retrace our steps to the basement door; I'll ask you if the rain still makes you smile...'')
* Creator/KAApplegate (Probably the best sellout there is.)
** Literature/{{Animorphs}} (Because it defined my childhood.)
*** Blog/CinnamonBunzuh (Because it reminded me of that series I'd always loved. And it introduced me to Jesus Whale.)
** Literature/{{Remnants}} (2Face is the best character in all of fiction.)
* AmeliaAtwaterRhodes (Mostly because she published her first book when she was younger than me.)
** Literature/DenOfShadows* (Mainly for ''Shattered Mirror'' and ''All Just Glass''.)
** Literature/KieshaRa (''Hawksong'' is a beautiful piece of literature.)
* Manga/{{Bakuman}} (It's just so authentic!)
* ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes (Did I really even need to say that? Of course not. You already know.)
* Creator/CassandraClare (The best guilty pleasure there is.)
** Literature/TheMortalInstruments ('''MAGNUS BANE!!!!!''')
** Literature/InfernalDevices (What a twist!)
* Creator/SuzanneCollins* (A literary genius.)
** Literature/TheHungerGames (''Mockingjay'' is the best book about war ever written. No matter how many people were disappointed in it.)
** Literature/TheUnderlandChronicles (Ripred is a wonderful rat.)
* Series/TheDailyShow (Thank you, Jon Stewart, for teaching me how to debate in politics without seeming like an asshat.)
* Manga/DeathNote (The most successfully suspenseful thing I've ever seen in my life.)
* Music/FallOutBoy (''My smile's an open wound without you...'')
* ComicStrip/TheFarSide (COWS!)
* Creator/TinaFey (The goddess of stereotypes.)
** Series/ThirtyRock (Because... 30 Rock.)

* Literature/FlowersForAlgernon (Brb, crying forever.)
* WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} (Good news, everyone! It's my very favorite American TV show!)
* MichaelGrant* (The other really great sellout to define my childhood.)
** Literature/{{Gone}} (Spoiler alert: everybody dies. And it's beautiful.)
** Literature/EveAndAdam* (Not exactly deep or tense, but very fun and funny.)
* Creator/JohnGreen (I'm a teenager. I'm required to like him.)
** Literature/TheFaultInOurStars (Not the big thing full of feels that everybody else seemed to get, but still strong and clever.)
** WebVideo/VlogBrothers (SHIT! I FORGOT TO BE AWESOME!)
** WillGraysonWillGrayson (Will #2 is the other best character in all of fiction.)
* Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl (Please don't laugh at me.)
* LightNovel/KokoroConnect (Even if my balls hurt every time I think about it.)
* Creator/DavidLevithan* (Because he's clever and honest.)
** Literature/EveryDay* (SADNESS)
* Literature/{{Liar}}* (This is the worst book ever. Wait no, I was lying - it's one of my favorites.)

* Music/MaydayParade (''Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away; I'll sing every song I know if it'll make you wanna stay...'')
* Music/MyChemicalRomance (I'd quote one of their songs, but I think it would scare you.)
* Creator/{{Nitrome}} (Remnants-style weirdness forever.)
* Music/{{Paramore}} (''So go get your shovel, and we'll dig a deep hole, to bury the castle...'')
* Literature/ThePerksOfBeingAWallflower (Now this? This was the big thing full of feels that everybody promised.)
* Literature/ThePendragonAdventure (The other series that defined my childhood, although Animorphs holds up better.)
* Studio/{{Pixar}} (Because you'd have to be a soulless monster not to like them.)
** Film/TheIncredibles (I am above the obvious IncrediblyLamePun here. Oh, what the hell - this movie was fucking incredible.)
** Film/{{Ratatouille}} (Cooking rats? Why the hell not.)
** Film/ToyStoryThree (There is nothing to say except for the words 'Toy Story 3'.)
** Film/{{WALLE}} (Robots and space and silent comedy.)
* Creator/StephenSondheim (''Finishing the Hat'' completely changed how I look at musical theatre.)
** Theatre/AFunnyThingHappenedOnTheWayToTheForum (Hilarity!)
** Theatre/{{Company}} (Mainly because NeilPatrickHarris was in a production.)
** Theatre/IntoTheWoods (The witch is a close second for best character in fiction.)
** Theatre/AnyoneCanWhistle (Funny and fun.)

* WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries (Nyeh.)
* ComicStrip/{{Zits}} (Teenagers scare the livin' shit outta me!)

[[folder: Tropes that apply to Kif include:]]
* AscendedFanboy: His goal.
* BerserkButton: [[MistakenForGay People calling him gay]], people making fun of guy dancers, people making jokes about [[SuicideAsComedy suicide]].
* BiTheWay
* BuffySpeak: He's a rather good persuasive speaker when he has a script. When he doesn't...
* CampGay: People have this misconception about him a lot, because he dances and goes to an arts school. (The latter part of the sentence is half-true. The former, no.)
* {{Catchphrase}}: "Fuck everything."
** Also, he's fond of saying that things happened "Because of reasons."
** And he likes introducing new topics by saying, "Incidentally..."
* CovertPervert: No elaboration given.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Both his hair and his eyes are brown.
* DeadpanSnarker: Although he also does snark without the deadpan.
* EmoTeen: He's a crossover between this and a {{Nerd}}. He's more into {{Emo}} fashion and music than actually being one.
* EnragedByIdiocy: Internally - he tries his best to hide it in the real world. But one time he went ''positively ballistic'' on someone who used the word 'retard' as an insult and tried to justify it.
* HollywoodDateless: He likes to think so, anyway...
* IncrediblyLamePun: He has to physically restrain himself from making them on this wiki and in real life.
* InformedJudaism: He tells people he's Jewish, despite the fact that he's only Jewish by decent, because it's easier than telling people he's a Unitarianish-Agnostic-Athiest-Thingy.
* LawfulNeutral: The former is much to his dismay.
* MistakenForGay: Happens more than he'd like. (Not that they're entirely wrong.)
* {{Nerd}}: Because who here isn't?
* NotableReferencesToTVTropes [=/=] [[TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary TV Tropes Ruined My Vocabulary]]: As any of his friends will tell you.
* OneOfUs
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He has a stubborn refusal to reveal his real name to the internet. The closest you're going to get is 'Mike'.
* PungeonMaster
* ShoutOut: His name, first of all. He's also known to make references to obscure books that nobody gets, such as [[SelfDemonstratingArticle the very first line of this page.]]
* TakeThat: Don't talk to him about Music/BritneySpears. Or ''Literature/{{Graceling}}''. Or Series/{{iCarly}}. Or Film/PitchPerfect.
** For other notable Take Thats of his, see places like [[http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/517847356 here]]. And [[http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/400970939 here]]. And [[http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/437579975 here]]. And ''especially'' [[http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/524189540 here]].
