2
3[[folder:The Spoony One]]
4* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Mentions in the FFXIII review that he is very easily distracted by random details.
5* AxCrazy: Has supposedly killed 7 women because the voices in his head told him to.
6%%* BackFromTheDead: About three times now, leading to [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] joking that he's a Time Lord.
7* BerserkButton:
8** From ''SWAT 4'': "You're in my spot, sir" is bound to send him into a frothing rage each time.
9** When Wrestling/{{TNA}} devotes its program to talking instead of wrestling, expect Spoony to flip out.
10%%** Every ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' sequel.
11%% Please be clear on the criteria for BerserkButton to prevent misuse and shoehorning.
12%%* BoisterousBruiser: In the Anniversary Brawl ("Roots, shmoots, baby, we are here to RUMBLE!") and Paw's "Top 9 Moments in Gaming" video ("I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE SOUL!").
13%%* BreakTheHaughty: A series of unfortunate events in 2011 lead to one.
14%%* CausticCritic
15%%* ComicalOverreacting: Happens not too often, just when it would have maximum impact.
16%%* CoolShades: They are an awesome pair.
17%%* CutenessProximity: Gets a minor case of this when he sees a little girl at PAX East at the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Online'' table jumping up and down excitedly, while saying that even though he's outgrown Pokemon someone else is certainly excited about it. D'aww.
18%%* DeadpanSnarker
19%%* DepravedBisexual: A list of the people Spoony has "spooned": [[spoiler: The Nostalgia Chick, That Chick With the Goggles, Benzaie, The Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Bennet the Sage and Lord Kat (As punishment for losing a game of ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'' against 8-Bit Mickey)]].
20%%** In the beginning of the Donation Drive; [[spoiler: Critic, Sage and Joe are repeats, while Paw, WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, The Other Guy, Ed Glaser, the Last Angry Geek, and article writer Matt Briner are first-timers. Karma finally bites as his ass as they gang up on him for some retribution.]]
21%%* DespairEventHorizon:
22%%** Pumpkinhead was the game that pushed beyond the brink of no return.
23%%** Expect him to cross this every time he watches TNA.
24%%** In particular his 2-9-11 episode of Impact starting when he calls out the Kurt Angle / Jarett divorce angle (Dragging Angle's children into doing promos for it), which wasn't helped by it immediately following the brain damaged Eric Young wasting everybody's time. Then his responce to the Jeff Jarret Ken Anderson promo.
25%%** Hit this in his v-log on the reboot of ''VideoGame/XCom'' when the press release at E3 describes the RPG elements as "just like ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''". He seems genuinely shocked and angered by the fact the makers consider it comparable to ''Tactics'', simply because they threw in a few strategic elements by making the game a squad-based shooter.
26%%** The Guardian very nearly pushes him to one, using his reviews of the Ultima series as a morale breaking event to goad him into destroying the earth and joining him.
27* {{Determinator}}: Spoony comments that surviving through E3 with his condition probably had a lot to do with just sheer willpower.
28* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud:
29** In his [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2008/01/05/dragon-strike-board-game-review/ Dragon Strike review]], he talks about how people who played ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' were thought of as weird and violent, then slips up his violent thoughts himself.
30-->"I mean it's just ridiculous. It's the same thing as blaming violence on video games. I mean, when I kill people, it's purely for sexual reasons... WAIT!"- * video cuts off*
31** Done again in his [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2010/08/01/mazes-monsters/ Mazes and Monsters review]], almost word for word.
32-->"I mean, I kill people, because it's the only way I can get an erection... WAIT!-" * video cuts off*
33* DistractedByTheSexy: Spoony is ''very'' distracted by the rather prominent breasts of one character in ''[[Film/TheBeastmaster Beastmaster 2]]''.
34%%** In Final Fantasy X review part 1:
35-->'''Spoony''': Focus! [[LampshadeHanging Stupid sexy cosplayers]].
36%%** From ''Howling 2'':
37-->'''Spoony''': The sex scene in this movie is metaphorical of showing Creator/SybilDanning's jugs. Okay, so that's probably not a metaphor, but for some reason, I just completely lost focus and... forgot what a metaphor even is.
38* DrivenToMadness:
39** ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge'' [[FreakOut eventually pushes]] Spoony into [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd AVGN]] levels of uncontrollable, spluttering, inarticulate rage.
40-->'''Spoony:''' If a demon ever wanted to take revenge on this world, he couldn't ask for a better way than this - because ''this'' isn't a game... it's fucking ''punishment!'' It's the most accurate simulation of a burning eternity in Hell ever made! And you know what? [[SlasherSmile There's a good side! There's a good side!]] You see this? The people who made this game actually had the ''balls'' to put their names in the back of the fucking instruction book - and I swear to God, if I ever find any ''one'' of you assholes [[IllKillYou I WILL FUCKING]] ''[[IllKillYou KILL YOU!]]'' '''[[UnstoppableRage I WILL STAB YOU IN THE BRAIN!]]''' And... Th.. This game is FUCKING ''UNHOLY'' it's so bad! GOD''DAMN'' IT!
41** As far into insanity as Pumpkinhead takes him, it's nothing compared to the laughter-bordering-on-tears he displays in his vlog on the [[ProfessionalWrestling WWE 2009 Slammies]].
42-->'''Spoony:''' John Cena and Randy Orton, or as I prefer to call it, AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
43** His commentary on TNA Impact pretty much pushes the insan-o meter up a notch.
44--->'''Spoony:''' *laughing* Wrestling! Wrestling! '''Wrestle!''' '''''WRESTLLLLLEEEEE!!!'''''
45--->'''Spoony:''' There's a sign in the crowd... that says "Hall Rules"! "Hall Rules"?! Hall does not rule! He has ''never'' ruled! [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Nothing is ruled by Hall! Nobody would be ruled by Scott Hall! There's no rulage! He is not a ruler!]] ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Scott Hall?!]]''
46* EvenEvilHasStandards:
47** He may be a snarky bastard, but even he thought Officer Walken in ''Terror T.R.A.X.'' was being a bitch by making snippy comments regarding a woman who '''just had her eyes ripped out'''.
48** In his "Wrestle! Wrestle!" vlog for August 6, 2010 he expresses absolute disgust at WWE for spending half the show on what is essentially laughing at a woman for being ugly.
49* FanHater:
50** In a Vlog on Wresting and Final Fantasy XIII, he basically says that anyone who liked Final Fantasy XIII was just fooling themselves, as there was no way that game was good.
51** In his Top 11 Worst Films of 2010, he tells his fans that anyone who liked Tron: Legacy at all has too low standards and is easily amused. Which resulted in Creator/BradJones remarking that he loved the movie, [[InsultBackfire for the very same reasons that made Spoony hate it.]]
52** Although it's [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2009/02/19/fanboys-are-mine-to-toy-with-old-man/ just part of the Spoony persona]]. In his commentary for the FFX review, he makes it very clear that this is only a trait of his on-screen character, and in real life he feels nothing of the sort. [[invoked]]
53%%** "''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' sucks and you suck for liking it!". Eventually revoked.
54%%** "I don't necessarily hate ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. I just hate the people who like it."
55%%** His ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' review is even more venomous.
56%%** He also shares quite a bit of venom for Creator/JossWhedon worshippers.
57%%** The ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies.
58%%** With ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', he goes as far as tell his viewers to hunt down and kill its fans.
59%%** His [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2009/11/17/roast-rebuttal/ Rebuttal to the Forum Roast]] is an example of this, although after he doles out the lashes, he quickly responds with warm thanks to his fans.
60%%* {{Fetish}}: Spoony has a [[HospitalHottie nurse]] one.
61* GagNose: Occasionally mentions his "big dumb Jew nose".
62* GoMadFromTheRevelation:
63** When Noah discuses the final Laguna flashback sequence in Final Fantasy VIII, he simply sets it up (Laguna is now an actor working on a sci-fi film, when suddenly a real dragon attacks the set), and then just proceeds to laugh uncontrollably.
64** Upon receiving a second copy of ''VCR Golf'', he realizes that the box is a different size and opens it... to discover a ''second version of the game from another company.'' He goes LaughingMad.
65** Of note is his written review of ''[[Film/TheManWhoSavesTheWorld Turkish Star Wars]]''. He becomes so perplexed by what he's watching, that his thought process in the review slips further and further into madness. As an end note, he then ''dares'' the readers to watch the film, which he provides a link to.
66%%** '''Miggity-miggity-miggity-miggity mackdaddy!'''
67%%** His reaction to completing a hard part of the ''Dirty Harry'' videogame, only to find himself back at the start of the level.
68%%-->'''Spoony':''' "I HAVE MY RIGHTS, I HAVE MY RIGHTS!!! IT WAS CALLAHAN, THE BIG ONE, HE DID THIS TO ME!!AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
69%%* HotBlooded
70* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly observed during sessions of WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign, where he's quick with the banhammer against the live chat. Mostly he uses it against people who subscribe to the [[ForumSpeak G.I.F.T]], as demonstrated when he [[PapaBear started kicking people]] for [[DudeNotFunny suggesting violence or rape]] on [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Iron Liz]] just because [[DisproportionateRetribution they didn't like her]] puns. He also kicked someone for [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking referencing TheGame]].
71* HeroicBSOD: For his AprilFoolsDay Episode, his dislike of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' catalyzes into a hate of the ''entire series'' so much so that [[spoiler: it caused him to become Dr.Insano]], even though he has admitted to actually liking the other games in the series.
72%%** Happens almost literally in his review of ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening''. He experiences a Windows fatal error message when he sees the back of the box call it "the smartest sci-fi thriller since ''Film/BladeRunner''." He's also wearing a [[StealthPun "Hero"]] shirt from the Game Heroes.
73%%** It happened during his review of Night Claws when his hero, Creator/RebBrown, is killed anticlimactically by a neck snap.
74%%** "[[Wrestling/{{TNA}} This is wrestling!]] WRESTLE!!"
75* HeroicNeutral: Most of the fights Spoony gets into are solely because the villain du jour shows up in his house and starts harrassing him.
76%%* ICallHimMisterHappy: "... [[Wrestling/RicFlair Space Mountain]] is my [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog penis]]."
77%%* ICallItVera: "Spoondalf's" Flame of Arnor.
78* {{Jerkass}}: The Spoony character. Let's see; he raped WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], killed prostitutes because the voices in his head told him to, and declared that, if he ever came across the creators of ''Bloodwings'', that he would stab them in the brain. Essentially, he is the very image of Jerkassery himself. Taken above and beyond during his crossover with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan. That said, [[SelfDeprecation she wrote the entire thing]].
79* KickTheDog: As hilarious as it was, casually blackmailing The Nostalgia Critic with crossdressing pictures of him taken during his drugged-out [[BlackComedyRape rape]] was kinda harsh.
80%%* MadnessMantra:
81%%** "You have failed" from ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge''.
82%%** When words fail him, he utters this: '''[[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon Deep Wang]]'''.
83%%* PapaWolf: There are multiple examples of this trope.
84%%* PermaStubble: He's often unshaven in his videos. Whether or not he's clean-shaven is sometimes a coin-toss.
85%%* PetTheDog:
86%%** At the beginning of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review, he said the soundtrack is "excellent", [[SceneryPorn the cutscenes are "striking and memorable"]], and the battle system is "really, really damn good." Of course, he said all of this just before tearing ''X'' a new one.
87%%** At the end of the special, after spending a good four or so hours berating the game, he provides a list of incredibly favorable reviews courtesy of multiple highly credible sources. Of course, whether it's this or an expression of extreme disbelief à la WebVideo/RedLetterMedia is up to you.
88%%** He now has an actual dog to pet.
89%%* PhraseCatcher: "You're in my spot sir." "'''''OH FUCK YOU!'''''". Apparently it's second nature, since he says it accidentally during his review of the live-action ''Tekken''.
90* RedOniBlueOni: Is the red oni to [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]]'s blue in his E3 videos, concerning the new ''VideoGame/XCom'' game. He is extremely [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks unhappy with the remake]] and its accompanying [[SequelDisplacement risk of replacing his X-COM with the new one in the minds of most gamers]].
91* SanitySlippage: In his review of ''Mazes and Monsters'', the mother's comment about not going to MIT to become a computer programmer leads Spoony to reflect this upon himself and question what he's been doing with his life for the past 10 years while reviewing games and movies, before he pulls out a gun and goes crazy. The camera cuts out and shows a picture of a ton of white Lego Men tackling another man who's gone crazy, with the caption "We'll be right back. Time for my medicine."
92%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl:
93%%** Long enough and loud enough to the point of having a HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath after just ''LOOKING'' at the DVD cover of the Film/WingCommander movie.
94%%** In the Nostalgia Critic's review of "The Room", when Spoony interrupts the Critic to tell him that nobody should have to review Highlander 2, only to be told of the actual movie being reviewed.
95%%* SmallNameBigEgo: Mostly while in-character, much like [[Website/ChannelAwesome the rest of his colleagues]].
96* SmartMark: Spoony fits many aspects of the traditional smark, pickiness, extensive research, knowledge and love of Indy stars, a deeply cynical attitude towards wrestling, RootingForTheEmpire, Spoony is however a lot nicer than the stereotypical Smark and usually has good things to say about almost every wrestler, hell, the man gave Wrestling/JohnCena and Wrestling/HulkHogan props. You can tell that while he makes fun of Cena frequently, Spoony does have some modicum of respect for the man, and stated that he's one of the few young guys today that actually seems to care for the business. He's even stated during the Wrestlemania 27 review that Cena does up his game for PPV's, but at the same time shouldn't be depended on to carry a match.
97* StalkerShrine: Joked about having a shrine for [[Series/XPlay Morgan Webb]] in his basement in his ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria|APuzzleOfFlesh}}'' review, which apparently contains [[{{Squick}} a dessicated human corpse]].
98* StartOfDarkness: Atributed to ''Microcosm'', which comes wrapped in so much [[PolishTheTurd turd-polishing]], promised so much and delivered so very little that it broke his youthful optimism and made him the bitter, cynical shell he is today.
99* StupidSexyFlanders:
100** In his New Moon review, he spends a lot of time [[ShirtlessScene describing]] Jacob.
101** After explaining how finding [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]] attractive is pretty much pedophilia, out pops a picture of an attractive woman/girl [[{{Cosplay}} cosplaying]] in Rikku's {{Stripperiffic}} outfit, [[DistractedByTheSexy throwing his rant off track]] until he snaps back with a "Stupid Sexy Cosplayers".
102* TooKinkyToTorture: When Angry Joe tries to strangle him at the end of Spooning With Spoony II, Spoony responds by proclaiming his love for erotic asphyxiation.
103-->'''Spoony''': "I call this one the shaken baby syndrome."
104* {{Troll}}: Since the beginning of the Experiment, Spoony has openly revelled in goading fans of many things [[ItAmusedMe for the Lulz]], most prominently Final Fantasy VIII. He also enjoys annoying his fanbase when he believes they are in the wrong.
105* UnstoppableRage:
106** ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge'' drove him to scary levels of anger, including a SkywardScream..... which Benzaie heard all the way from France.
107-->'''Benzaie:''' "[[Film/ThePrincessBride Beary?? Did you hear that?? That was the sound of ultimate suffering!]] My heart made that sound [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed the first time I saw Sonic turning into a werewolf...]] The Spoony One makes it now."
108-->'''Beary:''' "Do you think that we should go help him?"
109-->'''Benzaie:''' "[[YouHaveGOTtoBeKiddingMe Are you kidding?]] I just got into the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Brotherhood of Steel!]]"
110** The discovery of a ''third'' game in the HeroesOfTheLance series led to a SkywardScream that [[EarthShatteringKaboom blew up the world]].
111** Subverted in his review of ''Anime/GarzeysWing''. He is ALMOST sent into an unstoppable rage because of the voice actress of the fairy girl alone. Fortunately, the excellent hotel bathroom attendant was able to calm him down and make him forget that the anime even exists.
112-->'''Sage:''' ''"Damn that guy is good."''
113* VitriolicBestBuds: Sometimes Spoony's relationship with other members of Channel Awesome can seem this way, especially with Joe. In storyline, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] and Insano. Linkara might be his best friend, but they're both assholes to each other, although Linkara clones Spoony when he dies (but not without programing him to [[CameBackWrong promote Atop the Fourth Wall merch]]). Insano, meanwhile, is one of Linkara's most common foes, a constant thorn in his side, the accidental cause of all the storylines on Atop the Fourth Wall due to playing with hypertime (and occasionally steals Neutro), and Spoony's roommate and science guy, much like Linksano (an AU Insano that looks like Linkara, created because Linkara felt bad always making Spoony do Insano for him) is for Linkara.
114* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The way he talks about Teddie from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' indicates a certain aversion toward UsefulNotes/FurryFandom. He also mentions in another review that he doesn't like furries, because they creep him out.
115%%* WithFriendsLikeThese : More or less Spoony's relationship with his own viewership.
116* WouldntHurtAChild: As demonstrated by his absolute rage at the ''Ultima'' series repeatedly giving you no choice but to murder children, especially the one kid in ''Ultima IX'' where the kid attacks you first.
117[[/folder]]
118
119[[folder:Regular Characters]]
120!!Burton the Robot
121
122Orignally created for a ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' type series that never came to pass, Burton is Spoony's robot. He basically just sits in the background of most reviews. Despite this, he's mentioned in the opening credits.
123
124* TheArtifact: Burton is left over from the earliest days of the site when it had a naked ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' rippoff metaplot, which ended before Spoony even started doing videos.
125%%* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Including [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] and a SelfDestructMechanism.
126%%* RobotBuddy
127%%* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of Spoony's review of the ''Anime/TekkenTheMotionPicture'' anime when he notes that [[TemptingFate the recent live action film must be better, surely?]]
128* ShoutOut:
129** He's named after Jack Burton from ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'', Spoony's favorite movie. The other two ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' robots that never got built would have been named Sorbo (after actor Kevin Sorbo) and Morgan (after actress Morgan Webb).
130** In his review of the ''VideoGame/DemolitionMan'' video game, he's the machine that spits out fine notices for swearing.
131** In his ''Robowar'' review, he reappears at the end with the same StylisticSuck point-of-view shot and "greasy, greasy" monologue as the enemy from that film.
132** In ''[[VideoGame/PhantasmagoriaAPuzzleOfFlesh Phantasmagoria 2]]'', he takes on the equivalent role of Curtis' rat Blob.
133%%* TheVoiceless: Except in the first FMV Hell video, in which he is voiced by [[Film/{{Se7en}} John Doe]].
134%%* UncannyValleyMakeup: Unintentional on Noah's part (he just plain wasn't good at putting it on) but it wound up working in context.
135
136!!Dr. Insano
137
138''"I brought science!"''
139
140A recurring character in both ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'' and ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', Dr. Insano is a mad scientist bent on world domination, and the former President of the United States. After several failed attempts to murder Spoony[[note]]well, he ''did'' kill Spoony, but it didn't stick[[/note]], take over the world, or otherwise sow chaos and anarchy, Insano has taken up residence as Spoony's roommate and occasional tech support, but he remains just as unpredictable as ever. See the character sheets for ''Characters/AtopTheFourthWall'', ''Characters/{{Kickassia}}'', and ''Characters/ToBoldlyFlee'' for tropes that apply to him in those works.
141
142* ADayInTheLimelight:
143** As an AprilFoolsDay gag, he took over the show as "The Insano Experiment" on April 1st 2010 to deliver an AlternateCharacterInterpretation review of ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.
144** And now, after [[spoiler:Spoony went missing]], he took over again and reviewed another movie, ''The Dungeonmaster''.
145%%* AntiMagic: He has apparently developed two AntiMagic field generators. [[RunningGag The second of which flies, making it gunblade-proof]]!
146%%* AssholeVictim: According to Creator/BradJones' Series/''{{Bibleman}}'' ''WebVideo/DVDRHell'' review, he was raped in prison and traumatized so badly he sewed up his backside.
147* BewareTheSillyOnes:
148** Though played for laughs, Insano does have moments where he's actually able to be a legitimate menace. Discovering the Anti-Comic Equation (Warrior #1), taking control of WebVideo/{{Neutro}} [[note]]the eponymous robotic weapon sought after by dozens of mad scientists in the comic Linkara reviewed[[/note]], and [[spoiler:hiring Squall to kill Spoony]].
149** He's killed thousands with an army of robotic suicide squirrels, [[InformedAttribute allegedly]].
150%%** He made a [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2011/06/22/the-human-spider-first-sequence/ Human Spider!]]
151%%** He [[spoiler:fixed a Atari Jaguar CD so [[HeroBall Spoony]] could [[FateWorseThanDeath play it]]!]]
152* BigBad: For some time served as the main villain to [[Website/ChannelAwesome TGWTG]] team as a whole, being the ArchEnemy of Spoony, Linkara, a recurring foe of the Nostalgia Critic, as well as having encounters with Paw and Angry Joe.
153%%* TheCameo: Thanks to his popularity, has appeared in multiple videos, reviews and series.
154%%* CardCarryingVillain: Come on, his name is ''Doctor Insano''! [[{{Lampshading}} "Honestly, what what is it about the name 'Doctor Insano' that eludes you people?!"]]
155%%* CartoonishSupervillainy
156* CharacterCatchphrase: Regularly says"With SCIENCE of course!" Sometimes contracted to just "[[ForScience SCIENCE!]]" as a BattleCry or ChewbaccaDefense.
157%%* CloudCuckoolander
158* CripplingOverspecialisation: Doctor Insano is a master of mad science and only mad science, meaning he can easily make fantastical superweaponry and technical marvels, but his knowledge of actual physics and scientific law is very limited.
159* DepravedHomosexual: He's an unabashed rapist of men, if ''Interlocking with Insano'' is any indication.
160* DiminishingVillainThreat: He goes [[ZigZaggingTrope back and forth]]. When introduced, Insano was a hair's breadth away from conquering the world, but was soon reduced to a lonely, pathetic wretch... then he ''murdered'' Spoony, but the next episode came groveling back asking to stay at Spoony's house... then he killed Tidus... and the cycle continues.
161* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely does love his pink, fuzzyball-shaped son.
162* EvenEvilHasStandards:
163** Hates that Ferris Bueller is an unmotivated slacker who charms everyone into getting everything he wants.
164---> "I may be evil, but at least I'm not full of crap!!"
165** He's shocked that he was actually elected president, and calls out the public for voting for a guy who did nothing to hide how cartoonishly evil he is.
166%%* EvilGloating
167%%* EvilerThanThou: And "Sciency-er" than thou.
168* ForTheEvulz:
169** [[spoiler: Attempted to kill Spoony, despite the fact that it basically means killing himself]] in a parody of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia's]] plot.
170** For the most part, however, he ''hates'' this mindset and believes that villains ''need'' a goal beyond just hurting people for its own sake.
171%%* ForScience!!
172%%* GigglingVillain
173* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: He claims that the googles protect him from his patented Neuralizer. In his review of ''Film/TheDungeonmaster'', he lists off about a dozen useful functions they have - death rays, telescopic vision, X-ray vision, hypno vision, night vision, flash-bang protection, digital photography of "like a zillion megapixels", contain a terabyte of mp3 space, they open his garage door, work as a universal remote for his TV, and are connected to Facebook and Twitter. (though they are largely [[InformedAbility Informed Abilities]]). It seems the only weakness of Dr. Insano's goggles thus far is [[BruceLeeClone a Bruce Lee impersonator]] in tiny pink shorts.
174* GoKartingWithBowser: One week, he tries to viciously murder Spoony. The next, he's hanging out on Spoony's couch riffing on kung fu exploitation flicks. Apparently they live together, but Spoony has made Insano promise to stop trying to kill people, "especially me"! A common fan theory, largely inspired by his MultipleChoicePast, is that there are more than one of him; the Insano that acts as an enemy apparently has his own elaborate base, while the friendly one lives in Spoony's house.
175* GoofyPrintUnderwear: The ''Warrior #4'' review shows him in boxer shorts with red hearts when Linkara asks him why [[PantsFree he's not wearing pants]]. Insano replies that it's not important right now.
176* HarmlessVillain: Over time the comedic aspects of his character were emphasised, and he was [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] from a quirky but ultimately serious threat to the world, to Spoony's irritating roommate
177* HighCollarOfDoom: Laments that he can't find a labcoat with stylish collar.
178%%* LargeHam: A ham of the cartoonishly villainous kind.
179%%* LaughablyEvil: Arguably the reason his popularity.
180%%* MadArtist:
181%%** Revealed to be this in the Nostalgia Critic/Obscurus Lupa crossover review of Simon Sez.
182%%** He also wrote ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNimh The Secret of NIMH 2]]''.
183%%* MadDoctor
184%%* MadScientist
185* MeaningfulName: He's often quick to point out that the insane mad scientist is named Dr. ''Insan''o.
186* MrFixit: He managed to get an Platform/AtariJaguar CD working (for just long enough for Spoony to record footage off it before it broke down again), a feat which even WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd and his own technical genius friend had failed at.
187* MultipleChoicePast: Is Dr. Insano an incarnation of Spoony trapped in a StableTimeLoop? Was he one of the horny and nerdy Schlumper brothers who, after being rejected by his high school crush, turned to mad science in the hopes that he could create a artificial girlfriend? Was he a woman (or possibly a robot) until Linkara punched a hole in the fabric of the multiverse? Was he a split personality of Spoony? Is he the lost Schlumper Brother? WordOfGod is that "the origins of Dr. Insano are shrouded in mystery". Also keep in mind that the RuleOfFunny applies here. "It's kind of cute how people are trying to come up with some kind of continuity for all this. There's no continuity, there's only Insano."
188* NegativeContinuity: "There is no continuity, there is only Insano", as Spoony put it in a commentary. Insano's backstory is rewritten video to video as Noah sees fit, and he's variably been Spoony's alter-ego, his future self come back through time, or a separate person.
189* NewEraSpeech: His acceptance speech following his presidential election victory. He gleefully lists all the horrific changes he plans on instituting.
190* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He stole Neutro and attacked [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], however, following his defeat Linkara and Spoony seemed to view it more like a kid acting out than a madman almost destroying them.
191%%* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He doesn't specialise in Science, so long as it's [[MadScience mad!]]
192%%* PresidentEvil: Inspired by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Edea]] and [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]]. His running mate was Fu Manchu. WordOfGod says he was eventually impeached, with an ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' episode revealing it was because of a liaison with a prostitute, who turned out to be an undercover cop.
193%%-->'''Insano''': ''[giving his inaugural speech]'' I even used my real name! You voted for a guy named ''Dr. Insano".
194* PsychoSidekick: He's basically given up on world domination or destroying Spoony and his status as the primary villain has been supplanted by The Guardian and The Gatekeeper. He is now essentially Spoony's tech support and general gopher.
195%%* ScienceIsBad
196* TheStarscream: Occasionally plots to take over Spoony's site.
197* TrulySingleParent: To an odd, pink, orb-shaped "son" named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Son of Insano]] that is totally not a pink Koosh ball.
198* WeaksauceWeakness:
199** Being hit with a comic book takes him down pretty easily. Either that or [[SquishyWizard he's just that puny]].
200** He hasn't sold any anti-magic generators since it was revealed that a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX blitzball]] can take them out.
201%%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Implied a few times (see his breakdown at the end of Spoony's Street Fighter 2010 review), but played for laughs.
202%%--> "I am adorable but alone!"
203
204!!Oreo
205
206Noah Antwiler's Parson Russell Terrier / Pug mix, a former stray he adopted from a shelter. In the continuity of Spoony's reviews, she was pulled out of a top hat by Simcoe the Magician. She passed away in 2021.
207
208* AbnormalAmmo: In the new animated opening, Spoony uses the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' dog cannon to fire her at his enemies.
209* AnimalReactionShot: She developed a rather adorable "WTF" face whenever Spoony's doing something that looks ridiculous.
210* AttentionWhore: Her tendency to play with her squeaky toys whenever Noah (and Miles) sit down to do a vlog. As Noah put it in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3456fnTCl0 "Miles Watches the Lone Ranger"]] video; "It's an attention thing."
211* BreakingTheFourthWall: Unintentional example in the "Last Ride of Tandem the Spoony" vlog, when Spoony won't give her the squeaky toy and she seems to stare plaintively into the camera as though appealing to the audience against this injustice.
212* CameraAbuse: Has a knack for bumping the tripod during Spoony's vlogs, causing the frame to shake.
213%%* CharacterBlog: Has her own [[https://twitter.com/#!/OreoAntwiler Twitter account]].
214* DogsAreDumb: In the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' finale, Spoony orders her to bring him guns... and she comes back with a squeaky toy.
215%%* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Inverted with her and her nemesis, Lloyd.
216* FunnyBackgroundEvent: The Funny Offscreen Event - in one vlog, Noah notes that she's having a dream, and wakes her up, which confuses her. In one of the bloopers for Linkara's Mr. T #2, she can be heard chewing on a squeaky toy, which annoys Dr. Insano.
217%%* GenkiGirl: It's no wonder, given her breed combination.
218%%* GoFetch: Already knew this before Spoony adopted her.
219%%* LoyalAnimalCompanion: More loyal to Miles than to Spoony, given that she actively sabotaged Spoony's putting while leaving Miles' alone.
220%%* MotorMouth: How Noah articulated her thought processes on Twitter before adopting a WebOriginal/LOLCats style.
221* PhraseCatcher: Typically Noah will be halfway through a vlog or view, only to have Oreo leap into the scene, demanding attention...
222-->'''Noah''': [[Film/TheRoom2003 Hi doggie!]]
223%%** Which is exactly what Lloyd does to [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad Jones]] in his vlogs, which also means that Oreo also enacts the trope herself.
224%%* PreciousPuppy
225* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Is in the new animated opening as of the "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" review.
226%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
227%%* SitcomArchnemesis: To Creator/BradJones' cat, Lloyd, who once [[HostileShowTakeover hacked her Twitter]].
228%%* SleepCute: [[http://yfrog.com/nwl0paj Spoony took a picture.]]
229* TrulySingleParent: In the context of the main show's continuity (as opposed to vlogs) she was created from two Oreo cookies and some magic by Simcoe the Magician from ''Skullduggery''.

233!!The Avatar
234
235The main character of the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series. [[DudeWheresMyRespect Frequently frustrated by the fact that no one knows who he is,]] despite being the literal [[MessianicArchetype Christ figure]] of Britannia.
236
237* AntiHero: He is the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series [[MessianicArchetype Christ figure]]. Though, it doesn't stop him from a being a foul mouthed, lazy, womanizing jackass sometimes, as seen in ''The Serpent's Isle''.
238%%* CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm the God-Damned Avatar!"
239%%* DudeWheresMyRespect: "I know Humility is one of the eight Virtues, but I'm the God-Damned Avatar!"

245!!The Black Knight
246The main villain of ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}: Runes of Virtue''. After hearing about Spoony complaining about the game he is in he seeks to annoy him.
247
248%%* AmbiguouslyGay
249* TheBadGuyWins: Using his army of trolls to {{Troll}} Spoony, the Black Knight did succeed in his plan to annoy him.

251* EvilIsPetty: He kidnaps town mayors because he was bored and had his trolls, err.. {{Troll}} Spoony online.
252* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a Ping-Pong pattle to do battle with Spoony.

256
257!!Chuckles the Fucking Jester
258
259Based on the annoying jester from ''VideoGame/UltimaVI'' mixed with the voices of forum trolls (similar to Douchey Mcnitpick), debuted in the review of that game. Spoony laser-blasted him for being a massive prick, so Chuckles accepted a [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Sinestro Corps ring]] from the Gate Cleaner to get his revenge.
260
261* DiabolusExNihilo: Literally comes out of nowhere to scare the shit out of Spoony.
262%%* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1BrVVFaF-Q Meat Circus]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''.
263%%* MonsterClown

267* VillainTeamUp: Allies with the Gate Cleaner after Spoony defeats him in the ''VideoGame/UltimaVI'' review.
268
269!!The Guardian
270
271An evil god from another dimension, the Guardian is the main villain of the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series. The Ultimate Warrior apparently worships him. Enter's Spoony's house through a blackrock gate The Ultimate Warrior built when he wasn't looking.
272
273* BigBad: Of the ''Ultima'' games and Spoony's retrospective on them.
274%%* EvilSoundsDeep
275%%* GodOfEvil
276* RogerRabbitEffect: He appears in the ''VideoGame/UltimaIX'' review as a cartoon animated by Andrew Dickman, superimposed on Spoony's room.
277* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler: Turns out he wasn't interested in conquering Earth, he had the blackrock gate built to try and get Spoony to go through it and leave the planet so they work together to conquer worlds, he even says the planet was doomed anyways.]]
278
279!!The Headless
280
281Played by Miles, he comes in to attack [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]] when reviewing the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series.
282
283%%* CurbStompBattle:
284%%** Suffers an adorable one at the paws of Oreo.
285%%** In the wrestling VHS game, he delivers one to Spoony with a folding chair to his back.
286* MadeOfIron: Trying to take this guy down is a long and frustrating ordeal.
287
288!!Pumpkinhead
289
290A monster with a pumpkin for a head; apparently the titular hillbilly vengeance demon from the ''Film/{{Pumpkinhead}}'' film series (and [[VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge the videogame adaptation]] that Spoony reviewed) despite the visual disparity between the two.
291
292* ManBehindTheMan: Apparently is the master of the Gate Cleaner.
293
294!!Sephiroth
295
296The villain of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. [[spoiler: Had some brief appearances throughout Spoony's review of ''X-2'', before killing Yuna in the finale... and handing Spoony a copy of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'']].
297
298* ColonyDrop: [[spoiler:Just like in ''Final Fantasy VII'', he's summoning a meteor to strike the planet.]]
299* TheChessmaster: Has set ''some'' scheme into place that involves [[spoiler:taking advantage of Spoony's hatred for ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' and interfering with Burton's programming]].
300* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Saves Spoony's life... only to provide him with [[BerserkButton a new]] ''Final Fantasy'' game.]]
301%%* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Unlike other intruders, Spoony doesn't even attempt to fight him.]]
302* KnightOfCerebus: Compared to other intruders, his actions are notably not PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler: The Guardian knowing about his plans was apparently enough to cause him to have no interest in conquering Earth because he felt the world was doomed anyways.]]
303* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:Implied to be using Spoony's hatred for ''Final Fantasy'' to further his agenda.]]
304* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Impales Yuna just as he did [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aerith]].]]
305%%* VillainousRescue
306
307!!Simcoe the Magician
308
309Spoony plays his version of the magician character from ''Skullduggery''.
310
311* CreatingLife: In-universe, he created Oreo from cookies and magic.
312* {{Leitmotif}}: As in the film, his [[Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate Torgo-esque]] theme constantly plays in the background whenever he's on screen.
313%%* ManipulativeEditing: The source of his "magic", just as in the film.
314* MundaneWish: As in the film, uses his powers to... make beer and nachos appear.
315* TheReveal: Turns out to be [[spoiler:The Headless]].
316* TheVoiceless: Remains creepily silent at all times.
317
318!!Snow
319
320Supporting character from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', sent to attack Spoony under false pretences. Played by Brian Lewis of [[Creator/BradJones Team Snob]].
321
322%%* BoisterousBruiser
323%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Remember all those jokes Spoony made about Snow being an idiot? You won't be laughing so much once you see what Snow does to him.
324* DarkerAndEdgier: The fight between Snow and Spoony is by far the bloodiest and least comedic, [[spoiler:especially the aftermath, were Spoony staggers around in silence, drenched in blood.]]
325%%* FakeUltimateHero
326* FauxAffablyEvil: Makes fun of Spoony's hobbies with what might be regarded as lighthearted jabs between friends, if he wasn't delivering them while punching Spoony bloody.
327* {{Hypocrite}}: Belittles Spoony for preferring guns to a fist-fight. As soon as he begins to lose, he shoots Spoony in the leg.
328%%* JerkJock
329* KnightOfCerebus: His fight is not only a lot more brutal than Spoony's previous ones, but Snow is also a real {{Jerkass}}.
330%%* SurferDude
331* TookALevelInJerkass: Closer to a malicious high-school bully than in his game.
332* TrashTalk: Dismisses Spoony as a wimp and taunts him over his nerdy interests.
333* UnwittingPawn: Was told by persons unknown that Spoony was planning to destroy the world, which wasn't true.
334%%* VerbalTic: 'Bro'.
335* WrongGenreSavvy: Believes he's TheHero and Spoony is an apocalypse-bent villain.
336
337!!Squall
338
339TheHero of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''. [[spoiler:Hired by Dr. Insano to kill the original Spoony.]]
340
341%%* {{BFS}}: The Gunblade, which can actually shoot stuff outside the game.
342* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: Dr. Insano would never have been able to afford Squall's services had Squall not offered to kill Spoony for free because of the review.]]
343%%* HeroicMime: Still. Lampshaded by Insano.
344%%--> "Why did I give a walkie-talkie to a guy who speaks in text boxes?"
345
346!!Terl
347
348A not-at-all-exaggerated version of the alien Psychlo villain from ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'' played by Spoony. Originally just a one-off role in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of that film, he proved popular enough to return in Spoony's review of the ''Film/WingCommander'' film, and later as one of the antagonists in the fourth TGWTG anniversary special, ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' (for character tropes used there see the [[Characters/ToBoldlyFlee characters page]]). He also makes an appearance in [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe's]] X-Com: Enemy Unknown (2012) review.
349
350* BreakoutCharacter: He began as a minor character in one review, went on to appear in a few others, and became one of the main villains for the Nostalgia Critic's GrandFinale where he acted as his ArchEnemy (if a [[UnknownRival one-sided]] one).
351%%* {{Camp}}
352%%* CharacterCatchphrase: "While you were still learning to ''spell'' your ''naaaaame...!''"
353%%* BodyBackupDrive: After dying in his first appearance, he was cloned back to life for his second. [[spoiler: Given his fate in WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee, his next appearance in [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe's]] review of X-Com 2012 is presumably one of these.]]
354* {{Fartillery}}: According to him the only reason the incompetent Psychlos are such feared warriors is that they fart nuclear bombs out of their anuses.
355* AGodAmI: His "ability" to instinctively know the height above sea level of different locations makes him a god, in his opinion.
356%%* LargeHam: Spoony manages to out-ham Creator/JohnTravolta.
357%%* NoblewomansLaugh: Possibly deliberately invoked.
358%%* {{Portmanteau}}: The cloned Terl calls himself a "Psychlone", which only confuses Spoony as he hears it as 'cyclone'.
359* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: As Terl spelled his name "Turrell" in ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', fans theorized it was because he was being trained how to conquer galaxies instead of learning how to spell his name. The name change was done to dodge copyright issues, but in the cast commentaries they gave ApprovalOfGod to the idea.
360%%* SmallNameBigEgo: He makes out that he and all other Psychlos are an advanced alien race... until the Critic gets him to admit to his {{Fartillery}} strategy.
361* StylisticSuck:
362** Mocking ''Film/BattlefieldEarth'''s use of a tilted camera, Terl is always filmed on an absurd tilt as well.
363** His third appearance takes this even further - Terl is tilted ''in the opposite direction'' to the chroma-keyed backdrop behind him.
364* ThrowItIn: Noah was dissatisfied with the original performance because, thanks to the awkward way he had to film it, Terl often wasn't looking directly at the camera. However, fan feedback suggested this blended seamlessly into the deliberate StylisticSuck.
365* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Has the "godly" ability to instinctively know the height above sea level of different locations.
366
367!!Tidus
368
369The main character from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''.
370
371%%* BackFromTheDead: Was brought back from the dead to fight Spoony.
372%%* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: As with Squall, though he was sent by an outside force he attacks Spoony because of the review.]]
373%%* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler:Was shot, trampled on and is now being disected by Doctor Insano.]]
374%%* SmallNameBigEgo
375
376!!Yuna
377
378Supporting character of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and main character of its sequel, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2''. Sought revenge for Tidus after the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' review.
379
380%%* ActionGirl
381%%* CrosscastRole
382* DisproportionateRetribution: Subverted. Spoony ''initially'' thinks she's coming after him for giving her game a (mildly) bad review as the other two did, but quickly realizes the fact that he murdered her boyfriend might have something to do with it.
383%%* FanDisservice: It's Spoony with fake breasts and makeup.
384%%* GunsAkimbo
385%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By Sephiroth]].
386%%* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ditches her guns for a microphone.
387%%* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Attacks Spoony for what he did to Tidus in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review.
388* TheVoiceless: Aside from a couple grunts, says nothing.
389[[/folder]]
390
391[[folder:Minor Characters]]
392!!Black Lantern Spoony
393
394The ''original'' Spoony One, killed by Squall Leonhart on Doctor Insano's orders and later brought back as a [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Black Lantern]] as a side-effect of the ComicBook/BlackestNight. Briefly served as a pawn for [[Characters/AtopTheFourthWall Mechakara]]. This undead monstrosity now seeks to destroy his clone and take his show back [[spoiler:going so far as to turn Tidus into a Black Lantern in order to do so. In the final part of Final Fantasy X, the clone Spoony and Black Lantern Spoony ended up being merged into one being by Linkara with his Franchise/StarTrek technology]].
395
396* BackFromTheDead: Made a cameo on [[WebVideo/SadPandaQAndA Panda Q&A]], despite it being after he merged with the clone.
397* CloneAngst: Hates his clone self.
398%%* HostileShowTakeover: [[spoiler:Attempted but ultimately failed, by fusing him and the clone back together.]]
399* KnightOfCerebus: Is NOT a comedic villain, he manages to be a threatening villain that causes the plot to get more serious when he comes to kill the clone Spoony.
400%%* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Falls under Type R -- Revenant.
401%%* TheUndead
402
403!!Christian Spoony
404An escaped clone of Spoony, created by Doctor Insano, who appeared in a review by WebVideo/DiamandaHagan. He hosts a show called ''The Spoony Revelations''.
405
406* TheMoralSubstitute: His reviews are positive, as he praises the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' video game.
407
408!!The Gate Cleaner
409
410The nephew of the Gate Keeper character from the ''TabletopGame/{{Atmosfear}}'' VHS board games (played by an unshaven, hooded Spoony). The Gate Cleaner demanded that Spoony review every game in the ''Atmosfear'' series on punishment of being banished to the '''blagole''', but Spoony reneged; the Cleaner is currently planning his revenge. We have also seen ''The Book Keeper'' (played by Linkara) and ''The Gate Keither'' (Bandit Keith from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', voiced by Creator/LittleKuriboh). ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' revealed [[spoiler:he is married to ''The House Keeper'', played by a cross-cast Spoony]].
411
412* AccidentalMisnaming: RealLife example; Spoony didn't realise Doug wanted him to appear in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' for a long time because Doug kept calling the character "The Dungeon Master".
413%%* DimensionLord: As the keeper of the '''blagole'''.
414%%* {{Nephewism}}
415%%* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Arguably French, but who can tell? He's probably from the same country as [[Film/TheRoom2003 Tommy Wiseau]].
416* VerbalTic: Ends sentences randomly with "Ma-GGOT!"
417
418!!Giant Dizzy Gillespie
419
420Scourge of Spoony's action figure collection. Has his own line of T-shirts.
421
422%%* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Is introduced in this style.
423* AwesomeButImpractical: Despite his popularity, Spoony has had to stop using the statuette (besides occasional cameos) because of its fragility.
424%%* CoolVersusAwesome: Has gone up against Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Racist GoldenAge Franchise/{{Superman}}, Giant Franchise/GreenLantern and others.
425%%* MusicalAssassin
426%%* TheVoiceless
427
428!!Neutro
429
430Dr. Insano's HumongousMecha. Originally the product of a short-lived [[MediaNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] comic book reviewed by Linkara on ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', Insano took control of the metal monster to serve his quest for world domination. Although destroyed by Linkara with his magic gun in his first appearance, Neutro has apparently been rebuilt.
431
432%%* EvilCounterpart: Cited as Insano's equivalent of Spoony's Burton in the ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' review. (Though Neutro is just a mindless machine.)
433%%* HumongousMecha
434%%* HypocriticalHumour: When Spoony is ranting about how he hates characters with spiral eyes and giant robots from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', Insano drops in to ask him if he remembers where he parked Neutro. [[spoiler: We find out later that Linkara stole Neutro as a contingency plan to battle Mechakara]].
435%%* PeopleInRubberSuits: His latest appearance, with Iron Liz in the suit. Previously he was represented by a 2D animation effect.
436%%* VillainDecay: "Neutro 2.0" from the ''Blackest Night'' crossover review goes down easily.
437
438!!PoliceBrutality Cop
439Played by Noah's brother and only appearing twice so far, he comes running in to stop illegal actions, from (what sounded like) child porn to (Insano) getting up on a float and signing.
440
441%%* CharacterCatchphrase: "STOP RESISTING!"
442* DisproportionateRetribution: Beats up Doctor Insano for getting on a parade float and singing. Unless it had more to do with his murder of thousands with robotic suicide squirrels.
443%%* ImagineSpot: He beats up Insano in one.
444* NoNameGiven: He's unnamed in show.
445%%* PoliceBrutality: Natch.
446
447!!Son of Insano
448
449A fuzzy pink orb-shaped freak of nature created by Doctor Insano from his own splooge.
450
451%%* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:Granted it was Tidus, but it was still pretty awesome seeing him knock someone out]].
452%%* GeniusBonus: Even though Son of Insano being made out of Insano's spooge might just seem like a gross-out joke, it's actually a rather clever reference to the concept of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus homunculus]], which were thought to either being beings inhabiting sperm cells or an ArtificialHuman created out of human sperm. [[invoked]]
453%%* {{Keet}}
454%%* MoralityPet: To [[MadScientist his dad]].
455%%* PetTheDog: Ostensibly serves this purpose for Insano.
456%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
457
458!!Spencer D. Bum
459
460Spoony's version of Doug Walker's [[WebVideo/BumReviews Chester A. Bum]] character, brought in for bum-related jokes. Proved unpopular, so he only appeared in jokes ''about'' him being unpopular, and was eventually killed off in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review.
461
462%%* AndShowItToYou: Got his heart ripped out by Black Lantern Spoony.
463%%* CaptainErsatz
464%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's somehow even less lucid than Chester.
465%%* CruelAndUnusualDeath
466%%* KilledOffForReal
467%%* TalkativeLoon
468
469!!The Ultimate Spoony
470
471A parody of [[ProfessionalWrestling Professional Wrestler]] the Ultimate Warrior, played by Spoony, who shows up in Linkara and Spoony's joint reviews of his bizarre and horrible tie-in comic, and occasionally in Spoony's other reviews. Somehow gained a [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] ring, and is now working for the evil interdimensional god, [[VideoGame/{{Ultima}} the Guardian]].
472
473%%* ArchEnemy: HOAK HOGAN! Who is [[ActingForTwo also portrayed by Spoony]].
474* ButNowIMustGo: Noah retired the character after the death of the real Ultimate Warrior, with him leaving a letter and [[Film/TheBarbarians a film]] to review.
475%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He is completely bonkers.
476* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: While the real Ultimate Warrior's dialogue is "translated" into much more lucid sayings, the subtitles accompanying this version just reiterate what he's saying.
477* FacialMarkings: As of the ''VideoGame/UltimaVII'' review, he has his face painted like the real Warrior.
478* InnocentInnuendo: His use of the word "foke" (supposed to be a TotallyRadical way of saying "focus", but sounds like something quite different).
479%%* NoIndoorVoice
480%%* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: "SKRONK!"
481%%* TalkativeLoon
482%%* UnstoppableRage: The source of the Red Lantern Ring's power.
483* VerbalTic: Ends random sentences with "HOAK HOGAN!"
484%%* WaxingLyrical:
485%%** "IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER, YOU'VE GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIENDS! MAKE IT LAST FOREVER, FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS, HOKE HOGAN!"
486%%** And in his review of Ultima 7, he quotes "In the Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins.
487[[/folder]]
488
489[[folder:Real People]]
490!!Miles Antwiler
491
492Noah Antwiler's real-life younger brother. Miles occasionally joins Spoony out-of-character for his v-logs to provide a counterpoint for his reviews, as well as acting as a body double in Spoony's reviews.
493
494* TheFaceless: Previously, he usually appeared off-screen or had his face concealed. His face was finally seen in the Tekken: Blood Vengeance review.
495%%* FairCop: He's an actual police officer.
496* {{Foil}}: Unintentionally makes a perfect foil to his brother -- both are snarky and have no problem pointing out flaws in a show or movie. However, whereas Noah is HotBlooded and prone to {{Angrish}}-filled rants, Miles is almost always a deadpan straight man. They highlight each other remarkably well.
497* PrecisionFStrike: Gets a good one in the ''Prometheus V-log''. As the two discuss the hype and build-up for the film without actually giving their thoughts on it yet, Spoony says "this movie is..." and as he pauses Miles finishes for him, "fucking offensive". Particularly effective as while he doesn't seem ''adverse'' to swearing, Miles curses much less than Noah.
498%%* PrettyBoy: It is said.
499%%* PutOnABus: Inverted, his disappearance from the show and vlogs was because Spoony got on the bus and moved to Illinois while Miles stayed in Arizona.
500%%* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Spoony's red.
501%%* NotSoStoic: His arguement with Spoony during Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan vlog over a minor plot point. In the moments where he raises his voice, he actually sounds a lot like Spoony.
502%%* SiblingYinYang
503* StrongFamilyResemblance: Sometimes he can appear virtually identical to Spoony if it weren't for how quiet he is. Different hair styles help a lot, though.

527
528* AdamWesting: Plays the Lord British in the Spoony AlternateCharacterInterpretation way, giving the avatar a ridiculously cheap reward for his trouble (despite his losing several fingers in his quest) and stiffing him on the ale tab and proving entirely oblivious to the avatar's vain attempts to kill him.
529* CoolOldGuy: Willing to let Spoony voice his criticisms of things like how the games make you kill children and plays Lord British like the oblivious cheapskate Spoony's retrospective says he is.
530* NighInvulnerability: Richard plays Lord British in a skit with Spoony, and as in the games, is hard to kill.
