8	!Brad's Characters
9	[[folder:The Cinema Snob]]
10	[[quoteright:346:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snob.jpg]]
11	A caricature of pretentious film critics, as he reviews obscure exploitation films and pornography from the late '60s through the early '90s, though he has also reviewed the occasional more recent and widely released film.
12	----
13	* ArousedByTheirVoice: Invoked once in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's "You're a Rotten Dirty Bastard" Christmas special, where the Snob became the world's greatest pornstar in a world where the Critic didn't exist, his costar was aroused by his voice alone.
14	* ButtMonkey:
15	** At the hands of Bastard Film Brain, who repeatedly prank calls him and claims to have slept with every female relative he has.
16	** He's especially the target of misfortune in the ''Film/HeavensGate'' review due to ExecutiveMeddling.
17	* ByronicHero: The Snob often he comes out as someone enduring a hard life (to which the horrible movies he watches are only a part of), but nonetheless keeps on for the sake of his public.
18	* CatchPhrase:
19	** "If I want X, I'll stick with Y, thank you very much!"
20	** "What, no X? Boo, zero stars."
21	** "This remake of X is weird!"
22	** HaHaHaNo. A frequent variation will be a forced "Hahaha!" followed by an angry growl.
23	** "GODDAMMIT, [X]!", especially "GODDAMMIT, [[ArchEnemy BASTARD FILM BRAIN!]]"
24	* CausticCritic: He actually ''is'' modeled on snobbish film critics who refuse to adjust their standards, even when reviewing schlock. He has made frequent jibes at the hypocrisies of real-life critics as well.
25	* ChivalrousPervert: The Snob can be quite perverted with regards of the attractive women that appear on the films he reviews, such as loudly announcing whenever he has a [[RagingStiffie boner]], but abuse towards them is an absolute no for him. When explaining how ''The Taming of Rebecca'' is a "roughie" (a type of sexploitation movie that has male violence against women), he has some choice words for whomever may find that kind of movie actually arousing; and in ''I Spit on Your Grave'', while he defends the movie against critics who negatively criticized it for being a rape-and-revenge movie when that was the whole point of the movie, when he discovers that the movie's rape sequence is ''25 minutes long'', he breaks character (into [[Film/TheCinemaSnobMovie Craig Golightly]], that is), stating that there's nothing funny he can make of it, and engages into a long discussion with his friend Neil (and later Candy and Nancy) about the portrayal of rape in media.
26	* TheComicallySerious: The Snob's serious demeanor makes his reactions to reviewing schlock all the funnier.
27	* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Whenever he listens to relaxing music, images of torture, mass-murder and other assorted carnage flashes through his mind (helps movies such as ''Film/CannibalHolocaust'' use such beautiful music to underscore the gore). In the ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' movie, he brings ''Salò'' to a movie watching party and is clearly having the time of his life watching it while everyone else is ''horrified.''
28	* DeadpanSnarker: To an almost insane degree.
29	* DepravedBisexual: Doug and Brad confirmed that Critic and Snob are "internet reviewer boyfriends", and in a BadFuture where he takes over, Snob makes Critic kneel down onscreen to give him a blowjob.
30	-->'''Snob:''' Get cracking, sugar.
31	* EatsBabies: He tried eating a dead baby with ketchup once, but had to spit it out because it was expired.
32	* EveryoneHasStandards:
33	** He reacts with fury whenever children or animals are harmed.
34	** Homophobic comments are a BerserkButton for him.
35	* EvilSoundsRaspy: He only has one line, but Brad is completely relishing doing a raspier sleaze-pimp voice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-f8YMKYsrc in this]].
36	* {{Jerkass}}: The Snob is a quite surly individual most of the time.
37	* MultipleChoicePast: Depending on what you're watching, his real name may be either Bradakin "Brad" Jones (''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'') or Craig Golightly (''Film/TheCinemaSnobMovie''), and he may or may not be using the alias of "Vincent Dawn".
38	* NightmareFetishist:
39	** While he certainly doesn't like every piece of shlock he comes across, there's also things like bringing ''Salò'' to a movie-watching party and clearly having the time of his life.
40	** He also seems to have a soft spot for attractive women if they also happen to be particularly scary:
41	*** His reviews of ''Film/IlsaSheWolfOfTheSS'' and its loose sequels have him being infatuated with Dyanne Thorne, and it's clear that the domineering attitude of Thorne's character attracts him just as much as her... well, [[BuxomBeautyStandard buxom persona]], wholeheartedly agreeing with a character who exclaims that Ilsa's body should be sculpted in marble.
42	*** His ''Literature/MommieDearest'' review has him completely lusting over Faye Dunaway-as-Joan Crawford (even stripping naked when she announces that she's single), even when the movie goes out of its way to portray her as scary. (Though eventually he does find her too scary.)
43	---->'''Snob:''' I don't care; Creator/JoanCrawford is hot, Creator/FayeDunaway is hot, Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford ''is fucking hot.'' Go figure, I have a thing for someone with crazy eyes giving wild performances.
44	*** His reaction in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors'' to a girl who is one of the titular dream warriors' appearance in the dream world being that of a punk (yet still absolutely gorgeous) who dual-wields knives? Trying to knock his boner down.
45	*** He is mesmerized by Creator/MegFoster and her particularly pale eyes in his ''Stepfather II'' review, even stating that he could eat a jar of pickles for her.[[note]]It has been established that the Snob (and Brad for that matter) does not like pickles.[[/note]] Although this is somewhat downplayed in that, while Foster's eyes have secured her scary roles in horror movies, in ''Stepfather II'' she plays a common housewife.
46	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Much of his persona is a loving tribute to Creator/RogerEbert as Ebert's review of ''Film/{{Friday the 13th Part V\|ANewBeginning}}'' is what inspired the character.
47	* RealMenWearPink: His reviews of the ''Film/SexAndTheCity'' films revealed that he is a fan of [[Series/SexAndTheCity the series]] (while he tries to play fool in the review of the first one, he's an unabashed and unapologetic fan by the time of the review of the second one), which leads to him being very angry with the two films for discarding much of the characterization established in the series, and to be surprised when he discovers that a porn parody (which he jokingly tried to pass it as a third film) actually made a better job at trying to tie itself together to the characterization of the show.
48	* SharpDressedMan: Well, everything except for the lack of shoes. He's barefoot in almost every review.
49	* ShoutOut: It has been established that the name of the Snob character is "Vincent Dawn." "Vincent Dawn" is one of the aliases for Italian director Bruno Mattei, whose films have been featured on the show.
50	* SirSwearsALot: His dialogue consists of a noticeably high amount of swearing.
51	* TheStarscream: Ends up taking over That Guy with the Glasses in 2019, and Critic bemoans that he should have seen it coming.
52	* StoicSpectacles: His glasses add to his already stoic persona.
53	* StrawCritic: He's the caricature ''avant-garde'' enthusiast who only likes TrueArt, which is, of course, angsty and foreign.
54	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Well, two out of three, anyway; he dresses in dark clothes and is snarky as hell. He's actually kind of short.
55	* TrueArt: Invoked. He believes art ought to be "foreigny" and in some cases offensive — he gave ''Salò'' a glowing review even though (or maybe because) it made him puke all the way through the video.
56	* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Invoked. Whenever he finds an incoherent, surreal, symbolism-packed movie, he says that must mean that it's okay to like it.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder:80's Dan]]
60	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/80s_dan.png]]
61
62	A hapless party animal who was whisked out of the past by a time warp to the present day, Dan subjects his dysfunctional roommates and neighbors to the cheesiest kitsch to come out of the 1980s. He also happens to live on the same street as the Cinema Snob.
63	----
64	* AscendedExtra: When he first showed up in the Snob's review of ''Caligula,'' he was nothing more than a throwaway gag,[[labelnote:*]]He interrupts the video as all Brad's other characters have done, only for the Snob to point out that he doesn't exist; this causes him to instantly fade from existence.[[/labelnote]] but response to him was so positive that he was given his own spinoff.
65	* BadBadActing: When he and Rob [[http://thecinemasnob.com/2011/06/07/80s-dan-and-rob-reenact-a-scene-from-paranoia.aspx reenact a scene]] from ''Film/{{Paranoia\|2011}}''.
66	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
67	%%* CoolShades
68	* DiscoDan: As his name implies, he's permanently stuck in TheEighties. Doubly so when Dan dresses up as '90s Kid for Halloween.
69	* DontExplainTheJoke: Dan seems to think nobody has ever heard of the eighties, even when the references he explains are painfully obvious.
70	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: A line in the ''[[Film/HalloweenIIISeasonOfTheWitch Halloween III]]'' review explains that 80s Dan fell into a time warp at the exact moment the 80s ended.
71	* GenieInABottle: Dan appears out of nowhere whenever someone opens a bottle of New Coke.
72	* GoodOldWays: He doesn't have much use for modern CGI.
73	* {{Hammerspace}}: The inner pockets of his suit have seemingly unlimited space.
74	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Dan is oblivious that his friend Smithy is at the very least a child molester, possibly a serial killer.
75	* {{Leitmotif}}: There is always a classic 80's music track playing when he appears or talks, frequently A-Ha's "Take on Me."
76	* MeaningfulName: "80s Dan" is the name of a copyright-free music file built into Brad's video editing software.
77	* PerpetualSmiler: Probably because he's perpetually high on cocaine.
78	* ThePollyanna: Dan is optimistic to the point of stupidity. Absolutely nothing gets him down.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Kung Tai Ted]]
82
83	A completely talentless "martial" "artist" who exhibits fight scenes from bad chop-socky action films from his backyard. His lines are all dubbed over... by himself.
84	----
85	* DirtyCoward:
86	** When 80's Dan and Dolly find him tied up in a Neo-Nazi's basement, Ted brags about his fighting skills and offers to beat up the Nazi if they free him. Instead, he just runs away.
87	** He also pulls a gun on Solomon when he confronts him about trying to steal the potassium in his backyard, decidedly not something an honorable warrior would do.
88	* HongKongDub: Whenever he speaks, his mouth moves in complete disassociation with what he's saying.
89	* SmallNameBigEgo: He boasts of being a great martial artist, but either gets beaten up by people who shouldn't have been beating him if a tenth of what he says is true, or just runs away. He even gets beaten up by the Cinema Snob. He does eventually manage to give the Snob a vicious beating when he surprise attacks him on the set of his show when Lupa hires him to get revenge on the Snob for punching her in the face.
90	* StylisticSuck: His sketches have the production values of chop-socky martial arts films in a nutshell.
91	* UnknownRival: To Solomon, who forgets about Dan's existence when Dan takes months to find and defeat him.
92	* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: During his climactic battle with Master Kempo Dojo, Ted inflicts a GroinAttack on himself with some nunchuks. (But then, so does Kempo Dojo.)
93	* WheelchairWoobie: PlayedForLaughs InUniverse starting with the ''Film/MiamiConnection'' review. [[spoiler:It turns out those years of bad fighting caught up with him, so he's stuck in one.]]
94	%%* WimpFight
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Vic Dealio]]
98	The host of ''The Big Box'', a sleazy late-night infomercial spokesman who introduces classic exploitation films in the titular "big box" (clamshell video cases) while flirting with his co-host, the Big Box Model.
99
100	* CasanovaWannabe: If his interactions with the Big Box model say anything.
101	* DeepSouth: His voice is remarkably redneck-like.
102	* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: At times, his knowledge of B-movies leads to ditzy moments, such as claiming Gorgon Video is named after ''Film/{{Gorgo}}''.
103	* TheVoice: He's never seen, only heard.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Space Lancer Steve]]
107
108	A spaceman. His best (only?) friend is [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Ensign Munroe]].
109	----
110	* TheCameo: Steve has had only one appearance, one which lasted for only a few seconds, just because all of Linkara's characters had a counterpart among Brad's characters except Ensign Munroe.
111	* TheEeyore: In his one appearance, Steve does not come across as a happy person.
112	[[/folder]]
113
114	[[folder:The Bros]]
115	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_bros.jpg]]
116
117	The go-to personas for Brad and Jake when they want to spoof macho attitudes. Starting out in ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' as simply them adopting gruff voices to mock some audience members from ''[[Film/TheHangover The Hangover: Part III]]'', they were eventually featured in the Snob's review of ''Film/CantStopTheMusic'', and showed up whenever the Snob reviews something with homosexual themes. Bro!Jake died after Jake left the site, though Bro!Brad keeps appearing sometimes.
118	----
119	* ArmoredClosetGay: It's all but stated that they are actually gay, but try hard to deny it.
120	* AscendedMeme: They started off as voices spoofing specific audience members from ''[[Film/TheHangover The Hangover: Part III]]'' when Brad and Jake reviewed that movie as part of ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'', then grew into their own characters in ''The Cinema Snob''.
121	* BusCrash: After Jake left the site, there's a scene of Bro!Brad [[DrowningMySorrows drinking his sorrows]] after Bro!Jake dies tragically offscreen.
122	* FanDisservice: When doing push-ups in the ''Crusing 57'' review, Bro!Brad's ass crack is shown.
123	* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: They'll try to frequently assert their manliness, [[spoiler:up until when Bro!Jake makes Bro!Brad give him a blowjob.]]
124	* LargeHam: Both of them, but Bro!Jake especially.
125	* TheLadette: After losing Bro!Jake, Bro!Brad is auditioning new bros. One candidate is Bro!Chick (played by Sarah), who acts pretty much like the other Bros.
126	* ManlyGay: Or at least they think they're manly, and they're obviously gay [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday no matter how hard they try to deny it]].
127	* MenDontCry: They call a movie "gay" when it makes them tear up.
128	* NoIndoorVoice: They have their voices set on "gruff" all the time.
129	* TakeThat: Bro!Brad is shown in an [[WebVideo/TheIrateGamer Irate Gamer]] shirt.
130	* TestosteronePoisoning: They constantly boast about how manly they are.
131	* TransparentCloset: They're obviously gay, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday no matter how hard they try to deny it]].
132	* VerbalTic: The duo tend to end their sentences in "Bro."
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder:Jordan B. Matthews]]
136
137	Snob's even more pretentious twin brother who is definitely not a parody of a former [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh colleague]] that Brad had a falling out with or anything, we swear.
138	----
139	* EpilepticTrees: His tendency in-universe to give more profound meanings to movies that clearly don't have them sometimes leads to this.
140	* ShoutOut: His name is another alias for Italian director Bruno Mattei, much like the Snob's name of Vincent Dawn.
141	* TakeThat: His over-analytical view of everything makes him a clear parody of ''WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh''[='s=] Kyle "Oancitizen" Kallgren.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder:Eddie]]
145
146	The obnoxious, nasally-voiced, sex-obsessed loser from ''Who Reamed Rosie Rabbit'' (a {{Parallel Porn Title\|s}} of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'') who became a recurring character after the ''Who Reamed Rosie Rabbit 2'' review.
147	----
148	* CasanovaWannabe: He's a sex-obsessed horndog.
149	* {{Expy}}: Eddie is essentially the Snob's equivalent of ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''[='s=] Douchy [=McNitpick=].
150	* TheScrappy: In-universe the Snob considers him this; out of all the characters that interfere in his reviews, he's clearly the one he stands the less.
151	* TakeThat: He is a send-off to a certain group of fans who, after Brad started to devote more Snob episodes to Christian propaganda films, wanted him to do more reviews of porn films, much like Eddie does.
152	* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: The Snob tends to just sick a laptop playing ''[[AssShove Will It Fit?]]'' to Eddie every time he appears, and even though it's implied that he gets off the perverted and depraved things done in the porn films the Snob had reviewed through the years, ''Will It Fit?'' makes Eddie figuratively cry for his mommy. (Although it's also implied that he's actually ''jealous'' of the ''Will It Fit?'' host's ability to shove things up his ass.)
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:"Will It Fit?" Host]]
156
157	The titular host for the ShowWithinAShow ''Will It Fit?'', a web series in which the host [[AssShove shoves things up his ass]]. The host often appears or is mentioned in just any review where the joke will fit in.
158	----
159	* AssShove: The show is titled "Will It Fit?" because the host shoves things up his ass.
160	* MultipleChoicePast: All of these are jokes, but he's either a [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] Neil Hall from ''Film/TheCinemaSnobMovie'', David Winters from ''Dancin': It's On!'', a future, older version of Snob, or [[TakeAThirdOption both of the latter two]].
161	* SerialEscalation: The things that the host attempts to fit ranges from foods and plants to tornadoes and the Eiffel Tower!
162	* TheVoice: Is only heard from the laptop Eddie (and rarely the Snob) watches ''Will It Fit?'' from, or as a voice over from the Snob.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Walt Right]]
166	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/walt_right.jpg]]
167
168	A rather [[AxCrazy unhinged]] character that appeared in the ''ComicBook/{{Darna}} vs. the Planet Women ''review.
169	----
170	* CreepyMonotone: He tends to talk like this.
171	* PunnyName: It's a combination of [[Series/BreakingBad Walter White]] and the infamous "Alt-Right" movement.
172	* PutOnABus: After the 2017 Charlottesville attack, Brad felt that making jokes about white supremacists, even at their expense, would be insesitive, and thus wrote Walt out. He did this by having him arrested for [[PerverseSexualLust masturbating during a screening of]] ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie'' in the ''Voiceless'' review. [[TheBusCameBack He came back later]].
173	* TakeThat: Walt is essentially a way for Brad to make fun of trolly conservative individuals that happen to come across his videos.
174
175	[[/folder]]
176
177	!'80s Dan Characters
178	See under Brad for Dan himself.
179
180	[[folder:Rob the Robot]]
181	Dan's roommate and best friend (which isn't saying much), a Robotic Operating Buddy manufactured by Nintendo. Rob is an unrelenting jackass who openly lusts after Mrs. Crabtree in front of her husband. Voiced by Jake Norvell.
182	----
183	* CasanovaWannabe: His attempts to putting the moves on Mrs. Crabtree are always unsuccessful.
184	* CharacterBlog: He has a [[https://twitter.com/#!/ROBtheRobot Twitter account]].
185	%%* {{Jerkass}}
186	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Sometimes, on rare occasions, Rob shows a glimmer of a silver lining behind his jerkass facade. And behind ''that'' is a heart of purest coal.
187	* LoveTriangle: Between him, Travis, and Mrs. Crabtree.
188	* {{Robosexual}}: He's constantly putting the moves on Mrs. Crabtree.
189	* RobotBuddy: Not so much emphasis on "buddy", even though it's in his name.
190	* SitcomArchnemesis: To Travis Crabtree, due to hitting on his wife.
191	* TooKinkyToTorture: Due to his infatuation to Mrs. Crabtree, threats of being shoved up Mrs. Crabtree's ass only turns him on.

193	[[/folder]]
194
195	[[folder:Dolly]]
196	A lady in the present day who ran over Dan and Rob with her car shortly after they arrived from the past, then took them in and let them stay in her house. Dolly is the most mentally sound member of Dan's circle of friends... which again isn't saying much. She spends most of her time frustrated with Dan and Rob's wacky escapades. Played by Jillian Zurawski.
197	----

247	----
248	* ComicSutra: He shares his name with an extremely perverted sex act, "The Smitty", that was probably named after him, to the point that merely asking about Smitty in a single chat room got Dan flagged as a possible sexual predator by the FBI.
249	%%* {{Slimeball}}

252
253	!Other Characters

257	----
258	* BrainlessBeauty: She acts this way on camera. She subverts the trope in the recorded phone conversion between her and Vic Dealio where she delivers a scathing TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
259	* MsFanservice: It's clear that her role in ''The Big Box'' is based on how voluptuous she is.
260	* SexySantaDress: Wore one for a Christmas episode.

270	* BeleagueredAssistant: El Niño.
271	* FakeNationality: In-universe. He pretends to be Mexican.
272	* GratuitousSpanish: His name is supposed to mean "The Mole Boy" but the odd word placement makes its actual meaning "The Small Mole". The name comes from a brand of mineral water that Brian once drank while drunk.

294	* CatchPhrase: His very first line in every one of his appearances is "''Ac''-tually..."
295	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished after Creator/LewisLovhaug left Channel Awesome.[[labelnote:*]]Though he did get name-dropped in the ''Literature/PetSematary'' review.[[/labelnote]]
296	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Considering the times when his "facts" have absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand, yet he says them with all the conviction that they do.
297	* KnowNothingKnowItAll: The "facts" he knows amount solely to [[LittleKnownFacts insignificant trivia]], or in some cases have nothing to do at all with the subject at hand.
298	* PunnyName: The guy who says "Actually..." a lot is literally named Actual Lee.

311	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In his first appearance, his name is spelled on-screen as "Toby Fair", but on his second appearance, he states that his name is actuall spelled "Tobe Fair", like Creator/TobeHooper, and chastises Snob for getting it wrong the first time.

319	----
320	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Vanished after Film Brain left Channel Awesome.
321	* EvilBrit: Still retains Matthew Buck's British accent, except this time he's an ass.
322	* TheGadfly: Seems to live only to make Snob's life miserable.
323	* HiddenDepths: He's a real crass bastard, but he briefly comments on how he thinks ''Film/TheDeerHunter'' is a superior film to ''Film/HeavensGate''. Doesn't stop him from admitting that the RussianRoulette scene gets him hard, though.
324	* SitcomArchnemesis: To the Cinema Snob.
325	* OutOfCharacterMoment: His entire characterization is vastly different from his professional and analytical persona on his own show and his dorky fanboying in the Channel Awesome anniversary films.
326	* PhraseCatcher: "GODDAMMIT, BASTARD FILM BRAIN!"

333	----
334	* CausticCritic: If they've seen a bad movie, they will utterly and brutally trash it.
335	* DeadpanSnarker: Everyone.
336	* EruditeStoner: Many, but especially Brad and Dave.
337	* SirSwearsALot: They all drop f-bombs liberally, especially Brad, Dave and Jake.
338	* SmokingIsCool: Brad, Jake, Sarah, and Dave are confirmed smokers (Brad has since switched to e-cigarettes, though he's still an avid pot smoker, as evidenced in his ''Friday the 13th: Part 3D'' and ''Holmes and Watson'' reviews). Jillian and Laura are ex-smokers.
339	* TrueCompanions: Despite some of the crap they give to one another and some of what they see, you get the feeling that they're all friends who [[DoingItForTheArt do the show week after week because they just love movies and each other.]] In a 2015 video, Brad and Dave mention being friends for 33 years.

342	[[folder:Brad Jones]]
343
344	* AuthorAppeal: Beyond exploitation movies, he’s also a major fan of old WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoons and [[TheEighties 1980s]] [[ActionAdventure action]] flicks.
345	* BadBoss: Brad basically [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] that he sends his friends to bad movies to both laugh at their pain and make money in the process.
346	* BerserkButton: The writing styles of Ehren Kruger and Skip Woods. Brad loathes these two people and has rarely given a good review to any of their movies (the first was ''{{Film/Transformers Age Of Extinction}}'', which he felt was dumb but worked regardless).
347	** [[SpecialEffectsFailure Bad CGI.]][[invoked]]
348	** Creator/TerrenceMalick.
349	** Creator/TylerPerry.
350	** Brad used to have nothing but contempt for Kirk Cameron, even calling him a "piece of human dogshit" in the ''Left Behind'' review. Seems to have warmed up to him a bit (albeit sarcastically) after ''{{Film/Saving Christmas}}'', for how hilariously horrible and insane the movie is. As of ''Kirk Cameron: Revive Us'', he is of the opinion that Cameron is rather harmless - at least in comparison to [[DocumentaryOfLies Dinesh D'Souza]], who has become one of Brad's most detested filmmakers.
351	** Bad Parents if his opinion of the dad in ''Epic'' is anything to go by.
352	** Animal Abuse and Child Cruelty. During his ''Film/CannibalFerox'' review he goes on an epic tangent and shows nothing but contempt for the director Umberto Lenzi due to the pointless killing of animals.
353	* CatchPhrase: "What the ''fuck'' was that?" when a movie fails horribly, and “I really dug this movie” to movies he really likes, but not enough to put on his year-end best of list.
354	** If Brad ever starts off a ''WebVideo/MidnightScreenings'' review with a short sigh immediately after turning on the camera, chances are the film he just saw was particularly hard to sit through.
355	* DiscoDan: A lot of his tastes in music and film seem stuck in TheEighties.
356	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Always takes pickles off burgers and dreads eating pickle dishes in general.
357	* TheGadfly: In the ''[[Film/TheSmurfs Smurfs]]'' review:
358	-->'''Brad:''' Now, now, I didn't see the movie, so I didn't know it was gonna be bad!
359	-->[Jake gives Brad a DeathGlare]
360	-->'''Jillian:''' [to Brad] You are the Devil!
361	* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Dave.
362	* TheLeader: There's a reason it's called ''Team Snob''.
363	* TheMovieBuff: His knowledge of obscure films is impressive to say the least.
364	* NiceGuy: Very much so. He'll rip a movie he's disliked to shreds, but he'll do it with a smile on his face.
365	* UnabashedBMovieFan: From a young age (as his parents didn't care if he watched inappropriate material), and he genuinely likes many of the B-movies he reviewed as the Snob.

372	* CarpetOfVirility: In the Smurfs 2 review, compared to the smooth-chested Jake and Brad.
373	* CrossingTheLineTwice: [[invoked]]How he developed his identity on the site. If it's an episode with him, expect a joke so offensive that any momentum the episode had is stopped so that whoever is with him can regain composure.
374	* HiddenDepths: Despite mostly being known for his line-crossing jokes and don't-give-a-fuck attitude, he has had some surprisingly wise moments on the show, from a lengthy tangent on the TrueMeaningOfChristmas in the ''Film/SavingChristmas'' review, to a very earnest and heartfelt speech on national division in the ''Hilary's America'' video.
375	* TheGadfly: He loves trolling Jake.
376	* OneSteveLimit: His full name is Brian Irving, but since there's already another Brian, he's referred to by his last name or as "Virtual Boyd".
377	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: In the ''Midnight Screenings'' videos, Irving is the wise guy to Jake's straight man. When they review movies together, the video usually ends with Irving saying something shockingly offensive and Jake reacting like a sane (and very angry) human being.
378	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Jerrid. [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in "Brad and Irving Watch Bewitched".

384	----
385	* CatsAreMean: Lloyd is grouchy, snarky, sarcastic, apathetic and lazy.
386	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the review for ''Film/PetSematary'', Snob suspects that Lloyd sounds as he does in his [[WebAnimation/{{Lloyd}} eponymous animated show]], only for Lloyd to object that he actually sounds like a bitter old man for some reason.
387	%%* CuteKitten
388	* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Inverted with Lloyd and his nemesis, Spoony's female dog Oreo.
389	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Both often show up climbing the sofa in Brad's vlogs.

391	%%* RuleOfCute
392	%%* SitcomArchnemesis: Lloyd is one to [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] dog, Oreo.
393	* TalkingAnimal: Lloyd sometimes talks to Brad in a voice that sounds a lot like Vic Dealio's, which is what was ultimately used in his [[WebAnimation/{{Lloyd}} self-titled cartoon]]. To contrast "real" Lloyd in ''The Cinema Snob'' from his cartoon counterpart, Brad started giving him a grouchy old-man voice instead.
394	* TeamPet: Lloyd was the signature cat and the face of Stoned Gremlin Productions until his death.

402	* BoyishShortHair: Has a cute short haircut. She grew it out for a few years, but went back to it eventually.
403	* BrutalHonesty: She really doesn't relent when describing things. For example, she described the plot of ''Film/TheGreatGatsby2013'' as 'So this dude falls in love with this vapid cunt of a woman, she fucks him over and he dies' and she started the review of ''That's My Boy'' with 'Pedophilia. Hey, everyone, guess what's funny? It's pedophilia.'
404	* CountryMatters: After Dave, she is the next most likely person to use the word to describe particularly loathsome characters.
405	* {{Fanservice}}: Not nearly as much as Jillian, but she appeared in a bikini for a moment in ''The Cinema Snob Movie''.
406	* GenkiGuy: Giggles at grandma jokes and tends to stay upbeat even when sitting next to a despondent Dave.
407	* HumanNotepad: She tends to write the trailers on her arm. Lampshaded in one review when Brian asks "what the hell is that on your arms?"
408	* [[NiceGuy Nice Gal]]: She is by far the calmest of the Midnight Screenings reviewers.
409	* OfficialCouple: With Dave. They have since married, and became the first parents in Team Snob.
410	* OnlySaneMan: Especially when she's reviewing things alongside Jake.
411	* StealthPun: She throws these out occasionally.
412	* {{Typecasting}}: She's been cast as a hooker in Brad Jones' productions multiple times.

422	** Also talking during a movie, as the people who were sitting behind him in ''{{Film/Battleship}}'', ''Film/{{RoboCop\|2014}}' and ''God's Not Dead'' found out.
423	** During the summer series of 2013, getting the trailer for ''{{Film/Prisoners}}'' over and over was another one.
424	** It doesn't come up that often, but he has an intense dislike of Jennifer Hudson.
425	* BileFascination: [[invoked]] He loves going to Christian movies explicitly due to this trope.
426	* BreakoutCharacter: Was featured in more videos from 2013 onwards.
427	* ChildhoodFriends: With Brad.
428	* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Is often seen smoking after a particularly bad movie.
429	* ClusterFBomb: Rivals Jake in this regard.
430	* CountryMatters: Dishes a few of these out in the Tyler Perry movies he had to see.
431	** He calls Kim Kardashian's character in ''Temptation'' a "dumb cunt" and adds that she does such a bad job portraying a dumb cunt, he has a hard time believe she is one in real life.
432	** He also refers to a particularly {{Jerkass}} character in ''A Madea Christmas'' as "Cunty [=McMomface=]".
433	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Brad & Sarah compare his driving to [[Literature/TheFaultInOurStars Augustus']].
434	%%* TheEeyore

436	** He now has his own EmbarrassingNickname in "Hipster Dave".
437	* HairTriggerTemper: Has a short temper when it comes to movies that offend him the slightest bit.
438	* HeroicBSOD: Had one after seeing "A Madea Christmas." In his Worst of 2013, he said that he almost threw away all the movies he owned because of it.
439	** Had another after seeing "Mom's Night Out".
440	--> '''Dave:''' I don't like movies anymore.
441	** And another after seeing "Show Dogs".
442	* HiddenDepths: He's an accomplished artist, even painting and designing ''Film/TheCinemaSnobMovie'' poster. He's also given Brad the Stoned Gremlin statue that named his production company.
443	* {{Hipster}}: The closest thing Team Snob has to one. There's a reason he's called "The Indie Movie Guy" and "Hipster Dave".
444	* HollywoodAtheist: Refers to Christians in the movies he watches as "fucking insane" and chastises the main character of ''War Room'' for believing in a "make believe deity." In real life, however, he really doesn't give a fuck as long as no one is pushing their beliefs on him. He even specifically defies the trope in the ''Film/LetThereBeLight2017'' review, saying that he's an atheist, and he's a douchebag, but he's not a ''douchebag atheist''.
445	* OfficialCouple: With Sarah.
446	* OnlySaneMan: He's easily the most analytical of the group, even when [[Film/ManOfSteel his emotions]] get in the way.
447	* NameMcAdjective: Cunty [=McMomface=].
448	* SmokingIsCool: Is usually never seen without a cigarette.
449	* ThrowTheDogABone: After watching movies such as ''Temptation'', ''Film/ScaryMovie5'', and ''Film/ManOfSteel'', he got to see ''Film/PacificRim'', a movie he had been anticipating and liked.

460	* EmbarrassingNickname: "Baldy [=McGiggles=]" and "Mister Potatohead", thanks to Jake.
461	* TheHyena: Laughs a lot. See above for what his nickname is.

473	--> '''Brad''': My mom looks at me, "I like where this guy's head is at."
474	* OneOfTheGuys: Aside of the fact she is indeed Brad's mom, she is treated the same (and has similar opinions and sense of humor) as the rest of the Team.
475	* OpenMindedParent: An open lesbian and allowed Brad to basically watch whatever he wanted when he grew up. His first movie was even Film/NationalLampoonsVacation!

488	* SharpDressedMan: Lampshaded by Brad as Ryan is the only one who has a "real job".

495	* ADayInTheLimelight: Before becoming a recurring reviewer in ''Midnight Screenings'' starting with ''Film/MazeRunnerTheDeathCure'', she had a leading role in Brad's movie ''Film/DISCO2017'', and did a Carrie Bradshaw impression in the Snob's reviews of the ''Film/SexAndTheCity'' films.
496	* TheCutie: Great looks, and an affable personality that matches.
497	* HiddenDepths: Seems to know some of the dirty stuff Brad likes, such as her mention of ''Salò'' in the ''Film/RedSparrow'' review.
498	* OfficialCouple: Brad's wife.
499	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Given that she tends to be very laid-back, Brad is surprised in the ''Midnight Screenings'' for ''Film/HunterKiller'' when she expresses boiling anger at the film, to the point that he suggests sending her from that point onwards to action films featuring submarines (like ''Hunter Killer'' does), much to her displeasure.
500	* PutOnABus: Hasn't made an appearance on ''Midnight Screenings'' since mid-2020.
501	* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: At first, she hid herself in the backseat as whoever came with Brad reviewed the movie with him.

511
512	* AbusiveParents[=/=]CerebusRetcon: Jake's reason why he hates kids being mistreated was due to living in a home wrought with domestic abuse.
513	* BerserkButton:
514	** Mistreatment of children/pedophilia, it seems. See: his reaction to ''That's My Boy'', and why he had to miss ''Zookeeper''.
515	** In the words of Jake himself 'I hate puns!'
516	** Creator/AdamSandler, even before ''That's My Boy''.
517	** In the review of ''The Internship'', he points out that he hates FirstWorldProblems.
518	** In his review of the worst films of 2013, he points out that he hates being referred to in the context of other fictional Jakes ("Oh, you're Jake, like Jake from _____!"), including "Jake from State Farm" (he said that ''two'' separate workers in a UsefulNotes/McDonalds called him that right before the video), and the lead character in ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds'':
519	--->'''Jake:''' I AM NOT THE ONLY GODDAMN PERSON WHO IS NAMED JAKE ON THE FUCKING PLANET, PEOPLE!!!
520	* ButtMonkey: Brad keeps sending him to watch bad movies just to laugh at his pain. Also because any video featuring Jake usually get the greatest amount of hits.
521	* CigaretteOfAnxiety: He's frequently fumbling for a cigarette after a bad movie. A good part of the ''The Smurfs 2'' video is him looking for a cigarette lighter and then cackling in delight finding one.
522	* ClusterFBomb: Is likely to give off one of these after watching a kids movie.
523	* CommonalityConnection: When meeting Brad's mother (who's a lesbian) he decided to lay the foundation of their friendship by saying, "We both have one thing in common; we both love pussy."
524	* EmbarrassingNickname: 'Madagascar Guy'
525	* FireForgedFriends: Claimed to have formed this relationship with Irving after the two of them saw ''Film/TheSmurfs'' together.
526	* HairTriggerTemper: There's a reason he's Angry Jake. His tirades against bad puns in particular are quite a sight!
527	* HiddenDepths: He works two jobs. One as a pizza delivery driver and another as, of all things, '''a masseur.'''
528	* HumiliationConga: Seems to suffer this at the hands of theatre staff while going to see kids movies.
529	* PutOnABus: Disappeared after a personal conflict between he and Brad over a girl they both showed interest.
530	%%* QuirkyCurls
531	* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Straight man to Irving's wise guy. See above.
532	* SpidersAreScary: He hates spiders with a passion equal to bad puns. During the ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'' midnight review he steps out of the car and asks Jillian to kill one, refusing to return until it's gone.
533	* ThrowTheDogABone: Whenever he sees a movie that ''isn't'' outright torture.
534	-->"I've saw a good movie today. I've got nothing."
535	** Pretty much demanded by viewers after seeing ''Film/ThatsMyBoy'', where his rage was so great as to invoke TranquilFury viewers plead to Brad to let him see a good movie. Not too long after, he "guest starred" in the ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' video, where the first question was "Why are you here?"
536	** ''The Croods'' is a family movie that was smart, entertaining for adults, contained no puns except a {{visual\|pun}} one, and the children in the audience at the midnight screening were adorable and well-behaved. It was the opposite of everything that ''The Smurfs'' did to drive him mad.
537	** He definitely had a great time in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'', ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'', and ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2''.
538	** ''Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods'' was a pure moment of fanboy joy for Jake.
539	* TranquilFury: He often starts like this. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge He doesn't usually]] ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge end]]'' [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge a review like it though]].
540	* UnPerson: Since May 2015, Brad, nor any other members of Team Snob have kept up correspondence with him.
541	** Current videos for ''Midnight Screenings'' that reference older videos that Jake was a part of often tend to leave him out when they're brought up.
542	** Averted (in the "not even mentioned" sense) in the ''Film/JesusBro'' 12-hour livestream, in which numerous commenters asked Team Snob about Jake - Dave and Irving made verbally clear that they had burned their bridges with him and were just as glad to be rid of him as Brad was.
543	** Subverted in the ''Midnight Screenings'' for ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales'' where at one point, when Brad briefly talks about their experience seeing the previous Pirates film ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'' (which Jake was a part of) he refers to the video having "Shit-for-Brains" in it, a clear reference to Jake.

549	!!Jillian Zurawski
550
551	* ADayInTheLimelight: She was the anchor of ''Softly From Cable'' (which sadly only lasted two episodes and a couple of scenes in other reviews).
552	* AmicablyDivorced: With Brad.
553	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She may seem like one of the saner members of the cast, but when she gets angry, watch out.
554	** She's also not above winding Jake up for laughs.
555	* {{Fangirl}}: Plays this up for the ''Breaking Dawn Part 2'' Review.
556	* {{Fanservice}}: Had a brief topless scene in ''The Cinema Snob Movie''.
557	* MadeOfIron: She's prone to drinking things that make other people cry and barely turning a hair.
558	* PutOnABus: She hasn't appeared in a Midnight Screening video since August 2014. Unlike Jerrid, it's not for personal problems, [[CreatorBacklash it's simply because she doesn't like doing them anymore]].
559	** CommutingOnABus: She came back to do a few ''Midnight Screenings'' episodes beginning with the ''Film/{{Poltergeist\|2015}}'' remake review, and also appeared on ''Film/JesusBro''.
560	* {{Troll}}: Both in-universe and out-universe. In-universe, she pretended that her favorite movie was ''Moment By Moment'' to get the Snob to review it (when she'd never actually seen it), and out-universe, she spends most of her Midnight Screening of ''R.I.P.D'' with Jake making him angrier and angrier and laughing as he rages.

563	[[folder:Violet]]
564	!!Violet Rinorea
565
566	* AscendedFanboy: Was a fan of Brad's when they met in early 2015. Since they started dating, she's started showing up in his videos, particularly Midnight Screenings.
567	* CommutingOnABus: Lives in a different state than the rest of Team Snob, so there were sometimes long periods of time between her appearances on the site.
568	* PutOnABus: She stopped appearing on the site after she broke up with Brad.
569	* RavenHairIvorySkin: Probably her most noticeable feature. Sometimes combines it with red lipstick for extra effect.
570	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The "tomboy" to Sarah's "girly girl."
571	* ValleyGirl: To an extent; she's compared herself to Lynda from ''Halloween'' and commenters have pointed out how frequently she uses the word [[LikeIsLikeAComma "like" as a filler word]].
572	* YouthfulFreckles: Is the youngest of Team Snob, and the only one to have freckles (or, at least, the only one to have freckles prominent enough to be seen on video).

575	[[folder: Brian]]
576	!!"Flaming" Brian Lewis / Drunk Brian / Slaver Brian
577
578	* AmicablyDivorced: With Sarah.
579	* BerserkButton: While not as bad as when it first started, he is quick to shut down, down play, and ignore that having been labeled Slaver Brian ever happened.
580	* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: What he reviews on ''Flaming Brian's Kitchen''.
581	* EmbarrassingNickname: Slaver Brian.
582	* GargleBlaster: What he drinks in the "sister series" to ''Brad Tries'', ''Drunk Brian Tries''.
583	* TheLancer: He's usually paired with Brad, and appears in just as many videos.
584	* LethalChef: He has a show in which he tries out different insanely hot chili sauces, which he makes his friends try, usually by dipping otherwise palatable food in them.
585	* OfficialCouple: With Offscreen Leddie.
586	* OneSteveLimit: There are actually two Brians in Team Snob, but the other goes by his last name, Irving.
587	* PutOnABus: Brad revealed on a livestream that Brian chose to retire from working on Brad's shows. He did note the parting was amicable...
588	** ...except Brian later [[https://twitter.com/torsoboy323/status/1146055199326396423 revealed]] that he left Team Snob in part because he believed [=#ChangeTheChannel's=] accusations against Channel Awesome, and that he hasn't spoken to Brad since his departure. He has made [[https://twitter.com/torsoboy323/status/1145315997383102464 other comments]] alluding to ArtistDisillusionment.
589	* TheStoic: Compared to everyone else, he doesn't get worked up over so many things.
590	** NotSoStoic: Most of the time. See his reactions to Creator/TylerPerry movies and ''[[Film/GrownUps Grown Ups 2]]''.

592
593	[[folder:Leddie]]
594	!!Leddie Alexander Lewis / Off-Screen Leddie
595
596	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Off-Screen Leddie is off screen.
597	* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: Technically at almost every movie Brian Lewis (her husband) attends, she either is scrunched down in the back seat, or running the camera (depending on how many people are there). In ''The Bye Bye Man'', she's hiding herself behind the passenger seat. [[spoiler:She briefly appears at the end of the ''Paranormal Activity 4'' review.]]
598	* KickTheDog:
599	** Though not by choice. Brian had to ''beg'' Leddie go with him to see ''[[Film/GrownUps Grown Ups 2]]'', with the promise that they'd see ''Film/PacificRim'' beforehand (she ''really'' didn't want to see Creator/AdamSandler). Twenty minutes into the ''Rim'', the projector crapped out. There was no such mercy at ''Grown Ups 2''.
600	** The other members of the team bring up how often he takes her to bad movies and that while she's a trooper, they don't understand why she lets him get away with it.
601	** The trope is even parodied in the Brian & Dave Worst of 2013", where he tells a story of convincing Leddie to go see ''Film/{{Oblivion 2013}}'' as part of a special AMC program, where he jokes about the possibility of this happening:
602	--->'''Brian:''' ''(as AMC employee)'' Well, the projector for ''Film/{{Oblivion\|2013}}'' broke, so were just gonna play ''Grown Ups 2'' again.
603	--->'''Dave:''' ''(laughing)'' She would've dumped your ass after that.
604	* PutOnABus: As her husband, Brian, has left Team Snob, it's unlikely that she'll come back either.
605	* TheVoice: You won't even know she's there until either she's specifically asked a question or something makes her [[{{Corpsing}} break]].

608	[[folder:Allison Pregler]]
609	Because Creator/AllisonPregler lived close to Brad, she became his frequent Midnight Screenings co-reviewer for bad animated films and Podcast/RiffTrax'' presents events (and the occasional comedy).
610	----
611	* CanonImmigrant: From her own shows to Brad's.
612	* UnPerson: Following the [=#ChangeTheChannel=] controversy, she abruptly stopped appearing on ''Midnight Screenings'', which became apparent after she was absent from the ''WesternAnimation/SherlockGnomes'' review without any acknowledgment from Team Snob. This coincided with Brad and Allison unfollowing each other on social media, and Brad has avoided mentioning her on later episodes. It later emerged that some jerk sent a police officer to disrupt Laura's father's funeral with information that Brad was trying to kill himself, and both of them blame Allison personally for it. Allison herself [[https://twitter.com/obscurus_lupa/status/1145260492887351296?s=21 disputed]] being responsible for the incident.
