** James The Preacher himself became one. His appearance on the top ten trolls of 2013 video immediately earned scorn and hatred. Then again, when you say that a school shooting happened because people went to public school and [[StayInTheKitchen mothers didn't stay at home]], what would you expect the response


Added DiffLines:

* StayInTheKitchen: James the Preacher. To the point where he blamed a school shooting happening on mothers having jobs other than 'stay at home mom'. As well as saying that it's the fault of the parents for letting kids go to public school in the first place and it wouldn't have happened with home-schooling (Ignoring the fact that the shooter was himself home-schooled).

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Coach Dave says that he responds to hate mail by saying "I was born this way," Weasel takes a look at the baseball cap that he wears, then at the news thumbnail behind him that depicts a baby wearing the same cap, and concludes "...you were born with a baseball cap?" He then spends the next few minutes contemplating the logistics behind this even as Dave moves on to rant about other things.

* SyntheticVoiceActor: Appears a lot, usually in the [=CoD=] Enlightenment Army's videos, where the text-to-speech program used will frequently mangle its lines to produce incomprehensible gibberish.


Added DiffLines:

* ThrowItIn: The [=CoD=] Enlightenment Army apparently take some ideas from the people mocking them. When Weasel joked about id Software going back in time so that ''they'' could make the first FirstPersonShooter instead, a later video incorporated that into their teachings.

* PsychopathicManChild: Brought up when he revisits Mariotehplumber. With all of his violent, screeching antics, Weasel had him pegged at being at most in his teens, but when he finally appears on-screen he looks like he's in his early 20's.

* WardrobeMalfunction: Occurs in one video set on Talk Like A Pirate Day, when he got a costume for the occasion. The parrot that goes with it refused to stay on his shoulder as the straps to it broke and the eyepatch falls apart too. He then becomes worried and suggests that the hat he's wearing [[UpTo11 might just disintegrate]]. He actually lampshades this in his Top 10 Trolls for 2013 video, naming the store he bought the costumes from as an honorable mention troll.

--> ''Weasel'': Gay people...do more...than have sex. They can love. They can aspire. And they can do everything any other productive member of this society can do. And yet people like ''THIS'' fucking troll like to think of them as some kind of weird underclass of morlock!!!

[[redirect:WebOriginal/FeedingTheTrolls]] ''"Time to feed the trolls..."''
--> The intro to each video (barring the first).

Feeding The Trolls is a web series that started when [[http://www.youtube.com/user/CuteFuzzyWeasel CuteFuzzyWeasel]] had a rotten day and decided to, well, feed a [[{{Troll}} troll.]] The video would turn out to be far and away his most popular, and what was originally meant to be a one-off episode has become his signature series, complete with green screen backgrounds, professional lighting, and some pretty dang good comedy to boot. Join [=CuteFuzzyWeasel=] as he takes on the best of the internet's worst: the ignorant, the angry, the hateful, and the just plain ''creepy''.

NeedsMoreLove

!This Series Contains Examples Of

* {{Angrish}}: Weasel is quite prone to this when dealing with the more brain-breakingly stupid trolls.
* BerserkButton: Weasel has a special place in his heart for homophobes. His video dealing with ''Apologetics'' has a point where all the humor is dropped, and his voice goes ''deadly'' calm for a moment before [[SuddenlyShouting completely tearing into her.]] Overall, his videos dealing with homophobes are often much more serious in tone than his other ones, even compared to other ones where he deals with TheFundamentalist.
--> ''Weasel'': Gay people...do more...than have sex. They can love. They can aspire. And they can do everything any other productive member of this society can do. And yet people like ''THIS'' fucking troll like to think of them as some kind of weird underclass of morlock!!!
* BrownNote: Jared Milton's singing is this on the show. Which ends up leading to...
** CoolAndUnusualPunishment: [=CuteFuzzyWeasel=] being tortured by this, with the person responsible wanting him to feed Jared Milton again. He lampshades the trope, attempting to defy the trope... but after a few hours of listening to it, he eventually broke down and agreed to do it.
* CallBack: [=CuteFuzzyWeasel=] asks if he has to set up the scoreboard he used for [=RepresentingTruth=], regarding staying on-topic, regarding Irving Baxter's rant on gay marriage.
* ClusterFBomb
* [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Cannibal Trolls Have Standards]]: Weasel has a couple of rules regarding the trolls he'll feed, mostly concerning age: anyone under 16 is off-limits because he doesn't want to seem like a bully.
* HeroicBSOD: The entire universe has a [[CrowningMomentofFunny literal one]] when ''[=MagicalPockyUsagi=]'' says that she is a Japanese princess reincarnated, stuck in a Caucasian body.
--> ''Weasel'': '''What''' the fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu...(universe logic error)
** LogicBomb: With the Apologetics, he yells "PARADOX PARADOX PARADOX", with the click of death and ending with an error window.
* MuggingTheMonster: YMMV on how much of a 'monster' the ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty COD]] [[HarmlessVillain Enlightenment Army]]'' is in the big scheme of things, but it's quite clear that Weasel had NO idea what he was getting into when he fed them.
* NightmareFuel: In-universe. Weasel considers ''[[MonsterClown Peckcella von Peter]]'' to be unequivocally this.
--> ''Weasel'': This is [=CuteFuzzyWeasel=] saying '''never ever send me someone like that AGAIN'''.
* OhCrap: His first impression of ''Peckcella von Peter'' is this, although with a slightly...stronger expletive.
--> '''Weasel''': Oh... ''[[PrecisionFStrike fuck]]''...what is that...?!?
* RunningGag: [=CuteFuzzyWeasel=] makes claim to being an android from the future, working with evil machines with the stated goal of 'kill all humans'. Which fits in with the moments listed in HeroicBSOD.
** Another whenever a troll says something incomprehensible, whether being too loud or too soft: Weasel takes a good amount of time trying to translate.
--> '''[=MagicalPockyUsagi=]:''' (Whispering) Because I am Japanese.
--> '''Weasel:''' You like to lick trees?!?
--> '''[=MagicalPockyUsagi=]:''' Because I am Japanese.
--> '''Weasel:''' Your privates are covered with bees?!?
** Same with [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy 3PACTV]]:
--> '''[=3PACTV=]:''' Yeah, fuck Music/KendrickLamar.
--> '''Weasel:''' Cannonball narc?
--> '''[=3PACTV=]:''' Music/KendrickLamar.
--> '''Weasel:''' Canonical bark?
--> '''[=3PACTV=]:''' Music/KendrickLamar.
--> '''Weasel:''' Cannibal Clark?!? I don't think you wanna be fucking around with a guy named "Cannibal Clark"!
** 'X is a rip off of [[CallOfDuty CoD]]'
* ScheduleSlip: His Starship Troopers game review counts as this, as he foreshadowed reviewing it ages ago and hasn't yet posted a video on it. [[LampshadeHanging This has been brought up twice in his videos.]] Another one regarding Feeding the Trolls itself, through a combination of school, illness and a NASTY case of BSOD in his main computer.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: At the into of Peckcella Von Peter's vid, with the creepy toybox music and everything.
--> ''Weasel:'' Why do I get the feeling this is gonna come back to me in my dreams?
* {{UST}}: He theorizes that [=ConservativeElite's=] video is a big Freudian deceleration of love to Caiden Cowger. [[BrainBleach This terrifies Weasel]]
* WardrobeMalfunction: Occurs in one video set on Talk Like A Pirate Day, when he got a costume for the occasion. The parrot that goes with it refused to stay on his shoulder as the straps to it broke and the eyepatch falls apart too. He then becomes worried and suggests that the hat he's wearing [[UpTo11 might just disintegrate]]. He actually lampshades this in his Top 10 Trolls for 2013 video, naming the store he bought the costumes from as an honorable mention troll.
