History WebVideo / Zerolenny

He currently holds the unofficial[[note]]As in currently not recognized by Guinness World Records, application pending[[/note]] world record for ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' beaten with the most alternative controllers[[labelnote:list]]Normal (UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}) controller, Mouse and Keyboard, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKonga DK bongos]], Wiimote, [[VideoGame/GuitarHero ''Guitar Hero'' guitar]], [[VideoGame/RockBand ''Rock Band'' drum set]], [[VideoGame/DJHero ''DJ Hero'' controller]], [[VideoGame/RockBand ''Rock Band'' keytar]], Steering wheel, and [[VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution dance pad]][[/labelnote]].

* CoolPlane: Lenny becomes one of these in "Can you beat ''VideoGame/EldenRing as a FIGHTER JET!?" When he installs a mod that [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin turns his character into a fighter jet]]. It's basically an in-universe GameBreaker, since none of the enemies or bosses in the game are able to hit it from so far away while the jet barrages them with magic...[[spoiler:except for the Tree Sentinel's [[AttackReflector shield which reflects magic attacks]]]].

* LovableSexManiac: Robolenny is always trying to acquire a new "Waifu" and frequently tries to get with the ladies. He goes nuts upon discovering [[VideoGame/EldenRing Ranni the Witch]], probably due to her blue skin.[[note]]Unsurprisingly, at the video's end it's revealed that Robolenny got the Age of Stars ending, which [[spoiler: has the player become Ranni's consort for all eternity]].[[/note]]

* OrphanedSetup: In one of [=IGN=] Guy's videos, he says that the [[VideoGame/DarkSouls1 Moonlight Butterfly]] will "float down", before claiming that "everyone around the office loves that one". This leaves both Lenny and his chat perplexed at what the joke was supposed to be, with Lenny constructing an AntiHumor bit where he just says "WHEN HE FLOATS DOWN" out of the situation.

** When the guide tells him to keep [[BeefGate suicide running into]] [[VideoGame/DarkSouls1 New Londo Ruins]] to get the composite longbow so he can make ANOTHER ranged build like in the ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'' video, he can do nothing but exasperatedly sigh.

* OrphanedSetup: In one of [=IGN=] Guy's videos, he says that the [[VideoGame/DarkSouls1 Moonlight Butterfly]] will "float down", before claiming that "everyone around the office loves that one". This leaves both Lenny and his chat perplexed at what the joke was supposed to be, with Lenny constructing an AntiHumor bit of "WHEN IT FLOATS DOWN" around the situation.

* WithThisHerring: Zig-zagged. The [=IGN=] guide videos have Lenny following its instructions to the letter, so if the guide tells him to use an in-universe ScrappyWeapon as his main weapon for the rest of the run, he'll do it. A big example of this occurs in the ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' video when the guide tells him that it's very important that he use the ''Wooden shield, an item [[JokeItem deliberately put in the game to troll people who think the game is going to play similarly to]] VideoGame/DarkSouls'', because of [[spoiler:a single specific spot where it could prevent a deadly status effect in the 1.0 version of the game]]. Other times it gives him a genuinely uniquely fun or good build by the end of the guide, such as in the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls2'' video where by the end it has him using Santier's Spear and the Moon Butterfly armor set.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Lenny expresses this sentiment whenever the IGN guide tells him to farm souls or items for 3 hours, because it is never worth it.

** The first few seconds of his playthrough of ''VideoGame/CodeVein'' devolved into him and Robolenny incoherently screaming in terror when the game’s first set of GagBoobs show up.
** “OH FUCK THE WEEABOO VIRUS DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME”

** Even before that, Robolenny was the Meme Police in the channel's old ''VideoGame/ClubPenguin'' videos, until "WRESTLE WITH THE LENNY", which [[spoiler: has Robolenny ''fight'' the Meme Police, who is now a separate entity]]. IRL Lenny explains that Robolenny can be distinguished from the Meme Police because he talks slightly faster than the default speed the "Daniel" TTS program uses(which is the speed the Meme Police speaks at) as a way to differentiate him from other creators who used the TTS voice at the time.

* CommutingOnABus: Robolenny only makes ''very'' sporadic appearances these days, compared to when he used to be in every video and be the sole character before that. "THE [[VideoGame/WildHearts WILD HEARTS]] EXPERIENCE" reveals that he's actually just hanging out at Gwen's Pub whenever he's not in a video, much to IRL Lenny's chagrin. The video ends with them leaving to go hang out, like they used to at the ends of videos in the 2019 era.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Discussed in "THE CHALICE DUNGEON EXPERIENCE" when the duo encounter fellow souls youtuber Ymfah:
-->'''Robolenny:''' holy shit it's Imfah
-->'''IRL Lenny:''' No, I thought it was pronounced Yamfah? Yemfah? Yumfrih?
-->'''Robolenny:'''[at the same time] No it's definitely Yeemfah. [[{{Malaproper}} Yeetfap]].
-->'''Ymfah:''' Yeah, the Hunter's Torch is pretty shit. There's no way you can make it OP.
-->'''Both Lennys:''' FUCK YOU [[RuleOfThree YUMFAH]]

* {{Troll}}: Lenny's chat in "''VideoGame/EldenRing'' BUT WITH A PIANO". The whole way through the video they keep submitting requests for him to play on the paino when he says he's not taking them, and then when he actually ''does'' start taking requests, they all start saying "Nah, just play the game :)".

* {{Malaproper}}: Lenny, by his own admission, pronounces a lot of the names in various Creator/FromSoftware games wrong. He does lampshade his misuse of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' terminology for other Fromsoft games' items, saying that nobody actually calls them a "[[VideoGame/EldenRing Flask of Cerulean Tears]]" or "[[VideoGame/BloodBorne Blood Vials]]" when they could just say "Estus", for example.

-->'''Robolenny:''' Oh god spiders nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

** When Lenny played through VideoGame/DarkestDungeon, after beating the first darkest dungeon level, normally the game starts [[OminousVisualGlitch showing fleeting glimpses of]] an EldritchAbomination on various character portraits, but for Lenny they turn into Anime reskin mods.
** The first few seconds of his playthrough of VideoGame/CodeVein devolved into him and Robolenny incoherently screaming in terror when the game’s first set of GagBoobs show up.

* FunWithAcronyms: In one of his VideoGame/DarkSouls3 PVP tutorials, he comes up with D.I.C.K, which stands for “Dex Is Cancer King.”

-->'''IRL Lenny''': You know, Lenny, we shit on VideoGame/DarkSouls2 a lot on this channel but it's just cause [[BlatantLies 1's a flawless game, really]].[[note]] A mimic somehow failed to grab him despite him standing directly in front of it[[/note]]

* PutOnABus: As of ‘’THE [[VideoGame/DoomEternal DOOM ETERNAL]] NIGHTMARE EXPERIENCE’’, Robolenny no longer appears in most of the videos.(Don’t worry, [[TheBusCameBack the bus comes back]] for the really big mainline videos.)

Zerolenny is a ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' challenge runner and Youtuber from the Northwest of the UK. His videos primarily consist of him trying to beat games in the “[[SoulsLikeRPG Soulslike]]” genre [[SelfImposedChallenge with the worst weapon in the game]], usually a broken sword, and/or various other similar [[SelfImposedChallenge handicaps]]. They are jam-packed full of wacky hijinks, swearing, and more [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Spice]] than the tank of a [[Literature/DuneMessiah Guild Steersman]].

-->'''Lenny''': And all of a sudden, BAM: Melina comes back, and she starts telling you all this massive lore excerpt about the Erdtree, about the Two Fingers and the Greater Will, but then, just before her dialogue ends, she goes "Tarnished, I don't understand one thing...Tarnished, why have you not bought the battlepass yet? BOOM! it appears onscreen at the bottom- BUY ELDEN RING BATTLE PASS, 400 [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} ELDENBUX]]!
