History WebVideo / Brutalmoose

* ComedicSociopathy: Ian has a tendency to nonchalantly kill little people in Brutalfoods episodes whether by stabbing them with a kitchen knife or crushing them with boxed ingredients or cooking appliances. This even applies to himself with 'Little Ian', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a miniature version of Ian]] who has held captive in a jar and then being offered food only to have it swept away before he can take a single bite.

* ''VideoGame/{{RuneScape}}''

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: [[invoked]] In his playthrough of ''Nancy Drew: Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake'', Ian has this opinion of the overly cheerful [[https://youtu.be/vdcPCBGUjA4 daytime music]]. The song has a bad tendency to play [[FromBadToWorse when Ian is already feeling stressed]], to the point of becoming a RunningGag, causing Ian and the commenters to get snarky towards it.

* ''[[Series/TheMagicSchoolBus The Magic School Bus Explores in the Age of Dinosaurs]]''

* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler: Ian is the only member of his wagon party to survive the trek to Oregon in his ''Oregon Trail: Third Edition'' video.

** A more... awkward example is in "Gerbert: The Gift of Giving" there is a donation drive being held for those who have a hard time affording Christmas present or as they put it people who have "special needs". Yeah.

** TheSmartGuy: Nicholas J. Tillman, a smarmy man in a tacky suit who pitches himself to Ian by emphasizing his wit and intellect.

* SitcomArchNemesis: A long-running, [[BlatantLies very bitter]] one with WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}}.

* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Austin, the only black member of his ''Oregon Trail 3rd Edition'' crew passes away before the rest do.

* ''[[VideoGame/FattyBear45 Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise]]''

* ''[[VideoGame/FattyBear Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise]]''

* ''The Yukon Trail''

* Top 5 {{Edutainment Game}}s (Featuring [[WebVideo/GameTheoryWebShow MatPat]])

** In his Crisis City review when he makes up a story about an egg in the game, he says that "Some of humanity's most evil people were inspired by staring at the magical rainbow egg for too long." it shows a picture of UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, UsefulNotes/JosefStalin, and [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Plankton]].

* CallBack: Any time a joke is made about a character flying off into space, they crash into the same satellite Fred did in his ''Flintstones'' game review, at the same time as Fred.

* CurseCutShort: Happens twice in the ''A Hat in Time'' prototype, '''you stupid bi-'''

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Prior to ''VideoGame/FattyBear's Birthday Surprise'', Ian never showed up on camera. Also, in his ''really'' early videos, his voice was notably much less enthusiastic yet quite calm.
** His appearance in his earlier videos. While nowadays, he has short hair and is clean shaved/has a maintained beard, he used to have long hair and a messy beard. Some fans have named his earlier style Hippie Ian or Jesus Ian.

* {{Fanservice}}: He has a (waist-up) nude scene in his ''Sonic Shuffle'' review. And yes, he milks it for all it's worth.

* IncrediblyLongNote: "SIMTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" ''[turns towards camera]'' "-OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN!"
* InherentlyFunnyWords: "Banger" [[note]]A slang term for a gang member[[/note]] in his ''911 Paramedic'' video.
-->'''Ian:''' I think I've said "banger" enough in this video.

* RunningGag: [[VideoGame/TheOregonTrail This riverbank makes for a good restin' place.]]
** Also [[Film/SmartHouse Tuna noodle, my favourite!]] and [[Film/MyMagicDog Pizza pizza!]]

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Does this in reaction to the skateboard peripheral of Tony Hawk: Ride.

* ShallowParody: [[invoked]]He says this about ''[[VideoGame/GeekwadSeries Wacky Funsters!]]''.
** Also a major complaint against ''VideoGame/{{Pyst}}.''
* ShoutOut: Ian [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues skidoos]] into a book in the middle of his ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' review.

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Go on, take a guess what Ian's favorite swear is.
--> '''Ian:''' Does this make me a professional food critic now? Um... yeah, yes it does. ''[at viewers]'' Obey my food opinions, ''bitch''.\\
''[text flashes on screen: "*Thank you for watching!"]''

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Exploited relentlessly in ''VideoGame/PrisonTycoon 3'', where he completely removes everything except the fences and turns it into a literal game of survival.

In 2016, he started a new show, called ''WebVideo/{{Televoid}}'' In this show, Ian reviews old television shows and instructional videos under the framework of an OntologicalMystery, in which he slowly realizes that [[YouWakeUpInARoom he doesn't remember how he got to this location]], and that someone/something is watching him and preventing his escape.

In 2017, due to the surprising success of his ''Kid Cuisine'' video, he has started reviewing food as well. During these "Brutalfoods" he either reviews frozen meals or prepares recipes from old cookbooks he finds interesting.

* ''Banana-roll Salad'' (History Kitchen[[note]]In which Ian attempts to prepare a retro recipe[[/note]])

--> '''Diva Star Doll:''' ''Prettier than yours, [[PrecisionFStrike bitch.]]''

* IncrediblyLongNote: "SIMTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" (turns face towards camera) "-OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN!"

-->'''Brutalmoose''': I didn't talk about him because he just needs to shut up.
-->'''Rusty''': Your strategy worked! ''(screen zooms to Rusty)'' Now you have almost enough pieces ''(screen turns red and vibrates)'' to finish the billboard puzzle!
-->'''Brutalmoose''': God, I hope you've been robot-neutered.

-->'''Brutalmoose''': I don't want to talk about that [the sculptures].
-->'''Grace''': Oh... So, I just had to have these sculptures.

-->'''Brutalmoose''': If there was one thing we were taught as kids, [[TemptingFate it's that we should never give into peer pressure]]. ''(Various comments pop up pressuring him to review the game)'' So let's review ''LEGO Racers''!

-->'''Brutalmoose''': But don't worry, though. Even though I just released the only criminal on LEGO Island, the police are basically like, "Oh, s'all good."\\
'''Infomaniac''': So we need someone to race over there! Someone who can use a vehicle that can travel on roads and paths, over ramps, and in a jiffy!\\
'''Brutalmoose''': Oh, you mean a motorcycle.\\
'''Infomaniac''': A skateboard, perhaps!\\
'''Brutalmoose''': What? There are two people on motorcycles right there! ''(arrows point at Nick and Laura, both riding motorcycles)'' But no, the general consensus is that a skateboard would be a much, much better idea. [[SurroundedByIdiots Everyone here? Idiots.]]

** In spite of it being the highest-grossing animated film of all time, Ian reveals in his Kid Cuisine review that not only has he never seen ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'', he knows nothing about it.

-->''Reminds me a lot of ''Bazooka Joe'' comics, in that it's not funny.''
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: "Since I'm in a Dreamcast mood, let's just plug it in and see what's in there." (''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'' shows up) "Help meeeeeee..."

-->''... and they named him "Luckier", which is kinda like if I died and my parents had another kid that they named "Better Ian". I don't know how I would feel about that. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} I mean I guess I do, I guess I would just be dead]], but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.''

-->'''Brutalmoose''': The next level is called "Schoolz Out"...with a ''z''. Because, y'know, [[SarcasmMode z is the hippest letter of the alphabet.]] It's what all the kids are into.

** A more...awkward example is in "Gerbert: The Gift of Giving" there is a donation drive being held for those who have a hard time affording Christmas present or as they put it people who have "special needs". Yeah.

Ian [=McLeod=], otherwise known as [[http://www.youtube.com/user/brutalmoose brutalmoose]], is a video game reviewer on WebSite/YouTube and [[http://hiddenblock.com/ Hidden Block]]. He does reviews mostly of PC titles, though he occasionally does console games too. His style is more relaxed than most of the other comedic video game reviewers on [=YouTube=] with a notably more informative direction, although he does mostly do it for the humor. He has since branched out to include reviews of old movies, videos, TV shows, recipes and frozen meals—anything with a retro or nostalgic charm, really.
