28	----
29	!! Eexecute's Let's Plays provide examples of the following:
30	* AlmightyJanitor: Eex mentions that he is one in RealLife.
31	* ArchEnemy: [[ExplodingBarrels Barrels]], [[EpicFail grenades]], [[MalevolentArchitecture elevators, doors]], [[TheUsualAdversaries orks]], [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment barrels]], [[GoddamnedBats Leapers]], [[WhyWontYouDie yellow robots]], [[GiantEnemyCrab click-clacks]], [[DemonicSpiders Chaingunners, Revenants]], [[RuleOfThree barrels]]...
32	* AtomicFBomb: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] during the Dark Forces II [=LP=]; when he lets one rip at Jan Ors, [[VisualPun it cuts to a photo of a nuclear explosion]] with the text: "'''ALL OF MY RAGE'''".
33	* AwesomeAussie
34	* AwesomeButImpractical: Eexecute insists that he use the showiest methods to vanquish his enemies in games, even though they sometimes lead to his in-game demise.
35	* BackgroundMusic: Eexecute likes to splice custom music into the background of the games he plays. For important moments or particular bosses, he will choose dramatic or comical music depending on the context.
36	* BackgroundMusicOverride: In the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy playthroughs, Eexecute splices the background music with a Turok 2 Port of Adia metal remix whenever lightsaber wielding opponents are encountered. He had to stop this practice in the latter stages of the Jedi Academy playthrough as effectively all the fights in those levels were against lightsaber wielding enemies.
37	* BadassBoast:
38	--->'''Charles''': Thresh ain't got shit on me.
39	* BadBoss: Eex used to work for one, whom he described in one of his videos as "a bitch".
40	* BattleCry: "[[ShotgunsAreJustBetter F*** ya!]]"
41	* BerserkButton: [[NobodyCallsMeChicken Calling Eex a coward.]]
42	** From the ''Max Payne'' series, impersonation painkillers.
43	* BestialityIsDepraved: Subverted. During the opening of Episode 15 of the Jedi Academy Let’s Play, Eexecute somewhat reproaches Charles for getting drunk and fornicating with a “mini Cthulhu.” Soon enough, Eexecute is making jokes about it, and gets a punch from Charles in response.
44	* BlooperReel: Part 4 of the Dark Forces II [=LP=] has one at the end showcasing his [[TheManyDeathsOfYou many, many deaths]].
45	** And again at the end of Part 7 of ''Jedi Outcast''.
46	* BrickJoke: In part 9 of ''Turok 3'', Eex finds a [[PeopleJars man in a lab tank]] and dubs him "Bob". This scene is accompanied by the text: "This is Bob. Remember him, he's important." In the next part, we find Bob in ''another'' tank, this time in the dam control room. [[SendInTheClones A clone, perhaps?]]
47	** In part 4 of ''[=HeXen=]'', Charles is teleported into a room full of [[DemonicSpiders Wendigos]]. He uses a Banishment Device to warp one to a random location on the map, to make the room merely bullshit rather than straight-up {{Unwinnable}}. [[spoiler:Later, while leaving the piston room after opening up the SecretLevel, he [[ChekhovsGunman runs into the Wendigo]] on the elevator. Cue death.]]
48	* TheBusCameBack: After 8 years of absence on [=YouTube=], he has returned to making vids again.
49	* CallBack: Frequently, to previous [=LP=]s.
50	* CallingTheOldManOut: [=BloodReaperZ=] chews Charles out in part 10 of ''VideoGame/{{HeXen}}''. This [[HilarityEnsues quickly degenerates]] into SnarkToSnarkCombat.
51	* CatchPhrase: "Shutting up due to cutscene" when plot is about to take place.
52	** "Take care, stay safe, and have a good one" when ending a video.
53	** Charles has "Like a [word that sounds like 'boss']."
54	** "[[FakeDifficulty LOL]] [[{{Troll}} John]] [[Creator/JohnRomero Romero]]"
55	* ClusterFBomb: All the damn time, though it gets ''really'' bad (and hilarious) in ''Jedi Outcast''.
56	* CompensatingForSomething: According to Eexecute, the reason the [[VideoGame/{{Turok}} Dinosoids]] want to exterminate humanity is "penis envy".
57	** During the opening cutscene of the Dark Forces II, Eexecute suggests the massive size of Jerec’s vessel is a case of this trope.
58	* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Eexecute drops this trope by name occasionally when he finds instances of it occurring.
59	* CulturalPosturing: Charles does a lot of this. He has a strange idea the the British Empire and its customs are still intact and is constantly devoting his time to trying to colonise places for the empire (though in fairness, it is implied he is extremely old and quite possibly was around when such attitudes were appropriate).
60	* [[CuriosityKilledTheCast Curiosity (Nearly) Killed The Cast]]: In part 9 of ''Turok 2'', Eex decides to stay in the exploding armory and see how much damage he'd take. [[ForegoneConclusion It wasn't pretty]].
61	* DomesticAbuse: Although Eexecute and Charles are neither family nor living together, there are several instances of violence in the Jedi Academy playthrough that could constitute this trope. Charles slaps and punches Eexecute once each, and uses a switchblade to force control of the game from Eexecute when he gets bored from not having had a turn. He also attempts to slap Eexecute a second time during the first Korriban level, but the very much dark sided Eexecute punches Charles first. Eexecute also threatens to punch Charles again if he doesn’t stop complaining. The two constantly bicker and complain at each other throughout the entire playthrough, and in one episode (the same as Charles’s first slap, in fact), Charles calls Eexecute his slave. The offended Eexecute manages to force an apology from the British Overlord and invokes this trope. Slightly subverted in that episode, in that the two do eventually agree that violence is not the answer and they don’t condone it.
62	* EldritchAbomination: Eexecute directly names this trope in Episode 15 of the Jedi Academy playthrough, as Charles apparently fornicated with a miniature one while drunk.
63	* EpicFail: In Part 22 of ''Dinosaur Hunter'', Eex enters an obnoxious Warp and fails to make the same jump four times. When he finally reaches the end, he celebrates by accidentally jumping off the ledge, sending him back to the start of the section.
64	* EvilBrit: Charles, who refers to himself as a "[[EvilOverlord British Overlord]]".
65	* EvilIsCool: Eexecute justifies most of his dark side decisions during his three Star Wars game Let’s Plays this way. He even justifies hacking the game in Jedi Academy and giving himself Dark Rage for the final two levels of the game with this trope.
66	* EvilLaugh: Tom has a pretty good one.
67	* EvilSoundsDeep: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the Dark Forces II let's play after Eex decides his CharacterAlignment with a coin toss and it comes up tails (Dark Side). From then on, his voice is edited to sound like this whenever he does something evil.
68	** Continued in the Jedi Outcast Let’s Play whenever he kills a civilian or droid.
69	** And continued again in the Korriban stages of the Jedi Academy Let’s Play where he plays both levels with a deep voice effect.
70	* ExplodingBarrels: His #1 ArchEnemy since the ''Turok 2'' Let's Play.
71	* FailedASpotCheck: In part 4 of ''Turok 2'', he misses a Level 2 Key. He doesn't [[OhCrap realize]] his mistake until the end of part 5.
72	* FlatWhat: Tom and Charles' reaction to [[VideoGame/JediAcademy Jaden saying Rosh is his friend]].
73	* GrumpyOldMan: Charles exemplifies this trope. His exact age is not directly stated—he refuses to reveal it, in fact—but in an episode of the Jedi Academy Let’s Play, he says he was a teenager during World War II. If we assume he was a teenager for the entire war, we can conclude that he was born sometime in 1926 given that the war went for six years and teenage years total six in number. If so, Charles would have been around 87 years old during the time the episode was released (August 2013).
74	* GuestStarPartyMember: [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BloodReaperZ BloodReaperZ]], a frequent commenter, has appeared in several of Eexecute's videos.
75	** The 'Three Convicts' videos.
76	* HeadDesk: Tom does ''something'' that sounds like this while struggling on the [[ThatOneLevel Nar Shaddaa level]] in ''Jedi Outcast''.
77	* TheHedonist: Charles seems to fit this trope quite well. He drinks, smokes, enjoys the services of strippers, and does not practice monogamy despite being in his fifteenth year of marriage to his second wife as of the time of the Jedi Academy Let’s Play.
78	* HiddenDepths: He states in the ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' [=LP=] that his favorite show is [[spoiler:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']].
79	---> '''Eexecute:''' [[spoiler: [[MemeticMutation I am going to love and tolerate the shit out of you!]]]]
80	* HonorBeforeReason: Eexecute’s modus operandi involves always selecting the hardest difficulty in games and not using items or abilities that are imbalanced or overpowered. He is a rigid observer of showmanship, even when it gets him killed. Averted somewhat in certain circumstances, like the Jedi Academy playthrough, in which Eexecute decided to use an overpowered force pull and lunge combination that was capable of killing the strongest enemies in a single hit. He decided this was acceptable because the game was almost at the end and he had spent a long enough time not using the attack.
81	* ICallHerVera: In the ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'' [=LP=], Eex refers to the [[{{BFG}} Pancor Jackhammer]] as the "Convict Cannon".
82	** Earlier in the same [=LP=], he encounters a {{Mook}} who names his Colt Commando "Dick Justice". After Eex confiscates the weapon, he renames it "[[RuleOfFunny Jick Dustice]]".
83	* InHarmsWay
84	* InsistentTerminology: '''''DARK''''' '''F*** JEDI!!!'''
85	'Girlyfaces', 'legless wonders', '(big) (flamethrower-wielding) (fing) heffalumps (of sh*/lard)' or 'fattykin'... [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom]] inspires him, clearly.
86	** In the Jedi Academy Let’s Play, Charles insists that the way he says certain words like “green aides” for “grenades” and pronouncing the wam in wampas like one would pronounce the word ham, is the correct way of doing things. He justifies this in classic fashion by saying because he is British, the way he pronounces and speaks words is the correct method.
87	* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: "A hip and a skop", just to give one example.
88	* KindaBusyHere: His ''second video'' ends this way.
89	* LaserGuidedKarma: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVpAFvOAhmo#t=12m15s Part 5]] of Jedi Outcast, Eex kills a [=GNK=] Power Droid ForTheEvulz. Less than a minute later, he jumps down to a pipe, only for it to retract into the wall before he lands on it, causing him to fall to his doom.
90	** Happens again in part 11. He get's shot by a sniper while killing [[AssholeVictim a helpless, if treacherous, bartender]]. Tom does live this time, and promptly [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the trope.
91	* LavaAddsAwesome: Eex is convinced that lava is the most delicious-looking substance ever.
92	* LeeroyJenkins: "F*** common sense, I'm Eexecute!"
93	* LetsPlay
94	* LongList: His ever-growing list of [[ArchEnemy Arch-Enemies]].
95	* MallSanta: [[RefugeInAudacity No, really.]]
96	* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Man vs. Nightmare is made of this.
97	** Same goes for Man vs. Black m/etal. Some deaths occur in the first second of the video, even.
98	* NoOSHACompliance: Called out by Eex whenever it shows up.
99	* OldShame: As of late, he views some of his older LP's (particularly the playthroughs of ''Turok'' N64 Trilogy, ''Quake II'' and ''Dark Forces II'') as "OLD AND S**T" however, he never plans to take them down since he knows it'll upset his fans that still enjoys them.
100	* OriginalCharacter: Charles Clayworth, who debuted in the ''Jedi Outcast'' [=LP=]. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe]].
101	* {{Pun}}: Part 10 of ''Jedi Outcast'' is titled "Episode [[CallBack Tien]]".
102	** When Edgar runs into doomtoads in ''Tales of Phantasia'', Tom edits in music and sound effects from...[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} yeah]].
103	* RouteBoss: In his Dark Forces II playthrough, after defeating Yun in the second of their two fights (which is exclusively for a dark sided Katarn), Eexecute opted to include the light-side exclusive fight with Sariss, as well. In addition, after defeating final boss Jerec after an alleged 400+ attempts using dark side powers, Eexecute fought Jerec again using light side powers and won on the first attempt in order to prove that the light side powers were drastically overpowered.
104	* RunningGag:
105	** His [[EpicFail repeated failures]] to properly use grenades.
106	** Taking damage from ExplodingBarrels.
107	** Getting killed by elevators, doors, etc.
108	** "A SHORT AMMO FARMING SESSION LATER..."
109	** "[[VampiricDraining Give me your blood!]]"
110	** Eex keeps running into a dead [[Manga/DragonBall Tien]] throughout the second half of ''Turok 3''.
111	---> '''Tien:''' As a matter of fact, it isn't.
112	** [[EvilSoundsDeep Darth Eexecute]]
113	** After a vending machine angers him early in ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'', Eex proceeds to [[ShootTheTelevision shoot every single vending machine he comes across]] for the rest of the game. This carries over into his ''Max Payne 2'' [=LP=].
114	** Throughout Episode 4 of ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'', Charles keeps a diary recording his progress towards getting a rocket launcher, which the episode refuses to give him until the second-to-last level.
115	** -BANNED IN THE UK FOR EXCESSIVE VULGARITY-
116	** [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter buckshot]] "F*** ya!" [[PunctuatedPounding buckshot]] "F*** ya!" [[RuleOfThree buckshot]] "F*** ya!"
117	Singing “Does your d* hang low?” when waiting for something unskippable. Even Charles does it on one occasion.
118	* ScheduleSlip: The finale of ''Max Payne 2'' was put on hold for ''eight months'' because of technical issues.
119	* ShoutOut: Eex will occasionally make one to someone who commented on a previous video. He also makes many pop culture references.
120	* SirSwearsALot: Charles, who uses "motherf&#@" like a punctuation mark.
121	** Eexecute also has quite the potty mouth. In one episode of the Dark Forces II playthrough, he voices the opinion that he might have an undiagnosed case of Tourette’s Syndrome.
122	* {{Spinoff}}: Charles Plays.
123	* StartMyOwn: Charles threatens to start his own [=LP=] series in Part 11 of ''Jedi Outcast''. [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt Tom claims that he doesn't have the balls]]. Cue [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozMmmOzn0LQ "Charles Plays [QUAKE]"]].
124	** And now they're joined by Edgar, who will be tackling platformers and [=RPGs=], beginning with ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia''.
125	* SuccessionGame: Tom and Charles played ''Jedi Academy'' this way; each time one of them died, control would be handed to the other.
126	* SurvivalMantra: "Ninja! Ninja! Ninja!"
127	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Tom definitely did not kill Jan in ''Dark Forces II''.
128	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: His reaction to the warning ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' gives when selecting [[HarderThanHard Nightmare difficulty]]:
129	---> '''Eexecute:''' 'Are you sure? This skill level isn't even remotely fai-' you know it's gonna f*** ''suck'' '''''ass''''' when ''the game itself'' tries to talk you out of it!
130	* UnstoppableRage: A staple of his videos.
131	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Charles admits to being terrified of [[Film/{{Tremors}} sand worms]].
132	** Likewise, Tom admits his fear of [[Franchise/{{Alien}} facehuggers]].
133	* WildMassGuessing: [[OriginalCharacter Charles]]. Is he an actual person? [[ActingForTwo Tom with an edited voice]]? [[ManOfAThousandVoices Tom]] ''[[ManOfAThousandVoices without]]'' [[ManOfAThousandVoices an edited voice]]? [[RobotBuddy A robot]]? The world may never know...
