->''"ANIME IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD!"''
-->--'''That Dude in the Suede''', 2011

* RealSongThemeTune: ''Return of the Phantom Stranger'' by ''Music/RobZombie''.

* StillbornSerial: In spite of liking the concept, Suede spent the last months before the hiatus focusing on ''Animenia'' and ''AMV Heaven'', making this his shortest series at the time with only ''one episode.'' Understandably, it's listed as an episode of ''Animenia'' on TGWTG (possibly due to Channel Awesome's 5 videos rule). Time will tell if the show's resurrection will fix that.

* MissionFromGod: Literally--as a Mormon, he was on hiatus due to his scheduled missionary activities.

* TwoferTokenMinority: He is both the only Mormon and the only Kiwi in Channel Awesome.

* [[AwesomeMusic/WesternAnimation Awesome Music]]: The ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Batman Of The Future]]'' theme song, when he didn't have time to watch Saturday morning cartoons he would still watch the Opening.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Describes ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' as "''Anime/DragonBallZ'' crossed with TheGrimReaper."

* [[FanVid AMV]]: In addition to showcasing them on ''AMV Heaven'', he created six:
** '''Flash Before Your Eyes''': ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' And ''[[Music/{{Eels}} Last Stop This Town]]'' (Website/YouTube upload only, made by Cosmic Mule Studio) (Ohayo Con 2002 Best Video Winner)
** '''The Advent Children Picture Show''': ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' And ''[[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Don't Dream It, Be It]]'' (winner of a unknown Christchurch AMV compilation) (used as an inbetweener in his Top 11 Anime Villains list) (used as {{padding}} to get his ''Advent Children'' review to a full half hour)
** '''That Crazy Ikari Boy Needs Therapy!''': ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''The End of Evangelion'' And ''Crazy Psychiatrist'' (Submitted to Anime Banzai 2008, results unknown)
** '''Flashback''': ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' And ''Time In A Bottle''
** '''One Eye On The Past''': ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' And ''Time''
** '''Wen 10''': ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' And ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}} Theme Song''
** '''Wonderboy''': ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' And ''[[Music/TenaciousD Wonderboy]]'' (Co-Created With [=Galderon17=])
** '''[=FLoyd CLash=]''': ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' And ''[[Music/TheWall In the Flesh?]]'' (Made For Armageddon Expo Christchurch 2008's AMV Contest [Missed Deadline]) (used as an inbetweener in his Top 11 Anime Openings list)

* [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Aww, Look! They Really Don't Hate Each Other]]: [[SitcomArchNemesis Benzaie's]] greeting to That Dude In The Suede in WebVideo/SuburbanKnights. Though WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} claims that while [[FriendlyEnemy he still hates him, Conan loves him]].

* [[OriginalCharacter Fan Character]]: He created a Pokémon called Dadger and his evolutions Blaxdger and Katanakuma.

* [[MalevolentMaskedMen Malevolent Masked Man]]: Subverted in WebVideo/SuburbanKnights.

* [[SixthRanger Nineteenth Ranger]]: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.

* [[RealMenWearPink Real Men Are]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Bronies]]: According to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tfz39HnL_g&feature=g-u&context=G2dc8011FUAAAAAAAHAA this video]], [[WebVideo/FamiliarFaces CR]] brought him into the herd.
** [[RealMenWearPink Real Men Are Also Dreamhousers]]: He also loves ''WebAnimation/BarbieLifeInTheDreamhouse'' so much, each installment of ''Stream of Consciousness'' has a different clip of one of the shorts, as an EveryEpisodeEnding.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Described ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'' as "''Franchise/{{Dragnet}}'' makes out with ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'' while ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' watches."

** Putting GagSubs over scenes of PokemonSpeak, usually involving Pikachu wanting to rise up against humans in Giratina's name.

* OrphanedSeries: Suede's latest ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' movie review is ''Anime/Pokemon4Ever''... released on February 21, 2014. This is owing to co-reviewer [=JewWario=]'s tragic death leaving him unsure of how to continue, [[https://twitter.com/SuedeBlade/status/671090053809111041 though he hasn't outright cancelled the series, but put it on hiatus]]. His replacement for that video JesuOtaku has outright retired from video style reviews since apart from 1 guest appearance in another Suede review, and Linkara implied he's unlikely to come back to the series as he never watched the films after the 4th.

** Also from "Suede's Pokémon Journey", whenever a character display reprehensible and/or illogical behavior, but still is supposed to be sympathetic to the audience, Suede has them shout out "I'M QUIRKY!"

** He's since come into his own style, though, even dropping the "That Dude In The" part of his name.
* GoshDangitToHeck: Frequently happens, but unlike [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] who doesn’t use them to prove that you can be funny without using colourful words, he doesn't use them because he is never angry enough (though he did say that his Mormon upbringing could have been a cause).

* SincerestFormOfFlattery: His very first video expresses pride at being a rip-off of Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

** '''Jareidan''': His PlaystationNetwork Tag.

* AerithAndBob: When he did a fanart of an evolved [[{{Pokemon}} Lugia]], his main problem was its lack of a name. The ones he thought up were Lugiana, Fulugia and Steve.
