42
43	!!Provides examples of:
44
45	* AnnoyingLaugh: He's clearly good at it, [[http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/smite.gamepedia.com/e/e4/Ram_laugh.ogg take]] a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUnC9nrmkb0&feature=youtu.be&t=51s listen]] to his laugh for [[Myth/HinduMythology Rama]] in ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}''.
46	* AtomicFBomb:
47	** Detonates a '''''nuke''''' in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HIFxEEX2s0 this reaction video to TeamFourStar's Youtube account suspension.]] [[labelnote:'''WARNING''']] Keep your speaker volume reasonable. The audio is very, very loud.[[/labelnote]] To say it reached MemeticMutation levels would be putting it mildly.
48	** The F bomb was originally used in his review of ''Anime/FinalFantasyUnlimited'' when he learns the two most annoying characters in the show share an episode together.
49	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[DissonantSerenity Err... Yes.]] [[http://blip.tv/lanipwned/lani-plays-rise-of-nightmares-part-5-5805652 As you can see here.]]
50	%%* {{BFS}}: Lanipator has one in his review of ''{{Manga/Berserk}}''. It's really big.
51	* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Discussed in his ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'' review, though dubbed ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' Syndrome therein.
52	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: [[invoked]] His original Amnesia LP was this before March 2016. It was among the large amount of gaming content that was removed from blip.tv, and it was never uploaded to Youtube, but Lani uploaded the episodes to Youtube after a fan sent him his archive of the videos.
53	%%* LaughingMad: Nearing the end of ''Justine''.
54	* NoIndoorVoice: His alternate persona, Magnus, because he's [++ ''EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!''++]
55	* ManOfAThousandVoices: He provides voices for five AbridgedSeries:
56	** WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged, mostly a solo effort with help from his then girlfriend [[note]]now ex-wife[[/note]]and the occasional guest voice actor
57	** WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged, as Krillin, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Popo.
58	*** It might be easier to say he voices Creator/ChristopherSabat. [[MyFriendsandZoidberg And Krillin]].
59	*** He voices Creator/ChristopherSabat voicing Creator/BrianDrummond.
60	** WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries, as Lector.
61	** WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow, as Zabuza.
62	** WebVideo/KampferAbridged, as Kämpfer Mikoto and Strangled Stray Dog.
63	** ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' as The Major.
64	** He also does a pretty good impression of Creator/MarlonBrando.
65	** He voices [[Characters/SmiteHinduPantheon Rama]] in VideoGame/{{Smite}}. May also double as PlayingAgainstType, since Rama is very calm and quiet. [[AnnoyingLaugh Except when he laughs]].
66	** He voices multiple characters in ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', both playing for and against type: the enraged Ramen Shop Owner in Volume 5 sounds almost exactly like Abridged!Piccolo, while also playing the much quieter and sinister Yuma.
67	* ParodySue: His custom character Spudz from his ''Ultimate Tenkaichi'' LP. He's constantly giving him absurd backstories like being the bastard child of Goku and Mr Popo (and somehow, Piccolo) and being half-dragon.
68	* TheScream: Seems to be a specialty of his. Two of the characters he's played have had extended, epic screams. He's also delivered one while not in character (see AtomicFBomb above).
69	* ShoutOut: A number of them. Like in his LetsPlay of Justine, he tells his character to "[[Music/SystemOfADown Wake up. Grab your brush and put on a little make-up]]."
70	* ShutUpHannibal: In his ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' Let's Play.
71	---> '''Alexander''': Do you truly see no good in me, or evil in Agrippa?
72	---> '''Lanipator''': No, all I see is [[FullFrontalAssault your wang!]] Put some clothes on!
73	* TrainingMontage: Lanipator works out to ''Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'' by Music/DaftPunk just to build up the strength to lift Guts' sword.
