1A bunch of Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/user/kilplixism videos]] about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a gamer named Kilplix and his friends]]. These started as montages from ''[[VideoGame/{{Battlefield}} Battlefield 2]]'' matches, but when Kilplix started posting footage from his buddies' ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' sessions things really took off. Even though his videos are simply a bunch of friends slaughtering zombies (and each other), they've gained hundreds of thousands of views due to the [[HilarityEnsues hilarity that ensues]] and the personalities of the players, who are:
2
3* Kilplix (Austin): [[TheHero The leader]], and the one who posts the videos. Usually the most [[OnlySaneMan rational]] and level-headed of the group (though this isn't saying much). Plays as Zoey/[[strike:Rochelle]] [[GameMod Zoey]].
4* [=JedediahJ=] (Jed): Kilplix's good friend and resident [[TheSmartGuy smartass]]. Though capable, he tends to wander off and get nabbed by Special Infected. Plays as Bill/The Coach!
5* Sariix (Cody): Jed's brother, and typically a [[TheLancer quiet, cool and dependable]] teammate. Plays as Louis/Ellis.
6* Vlahka (Con): [[TheBigGuy A trash-talking, zombie-smashing]], [[MolotovCocktail Molotov-flinging]] [[LandDownUnder Australian]] who is just as likely to tear through a horde on his own as he is to get sucker-punched by one zombie. Plays as Francis/Nick.
7* Lantz (Jonna): [[GamerGirl A female gamer]] who was initially mistaken as a prepubescent boy by some fans. Bubbly, lighthearted, and [[ThePollyanna only rarely perturbed]] by the obstacles facing the group, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork even those stemming from the group itself]]. Plays as Francis/Nick.

10After the initial VideoGame/Left4Dead videos, Kilplix has since branched out into other games, posting videos of [[VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany Bad Company 2]], VideoGame/ResidentEvil5, Portal2, and more recently, VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}} and Terraria. He's also posted several videos of other games, including VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent, [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon F.E.A.R.]], and VideoGame/SeriousSam.
11
12----
13!!The videos provide examples of:
14* AchievementsInIgnorance: ''Yes-siree.''
15* AwesomenessIsAForce: Jonna has a moment:
16-->'''Kilplix:''' How did you survive [being pulled off a two-story drop by a Smoker]?
17-->'''Jonna:''' With my amazingness. Also, breasts.
18* BashBrothers: If the team is forced to split up, odds are good Jed and Cody will be covering each others' backs. And if one goes down, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqu0-pDid1g the other will almost always charge in to the rescue]].
19* BerserkButton: Kiplix ''hates'' the opening theme of ''Anime/DragonBallGT''. And never try to select Zoey before he can.
20* {{Buttmonkey}}: Con's gung-ho attitude and sub-par internet connection mean that he usually dies the most, and during the ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' playthrough he only survived one campaign. It doesn't faze him.
21* BigNo: A Kilplix specialty. What's probably [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMaGzAkdNYI&t=2m49s his most epic example]] involves a closet, Con, and fire.
22* BulletTime: Used to show how, for example, Con managed to hurl a gas tank directly into Kilplix's stream of fire.
23* TheCasanova: Con will hit on anything female, from Zoey to Witches to generic female Infected. This prompts a discussion over it not technically counting as necrophilia.
24* CherryTapping: Adding insult to injury during one night of [=FAIL=] is getting bitch-slapped to death by a Boomer.
25* ClownCarBase: Kilplix tends to get jumped by hordes spawning in small rooms the most, though one time it happened to Con and left him whimpering and huddling in a corner.
26* CompanionCube: During The Mortuary campaign Jed starts talking to ([[ConsultingMisterPuppet and receiving tips from]]) his [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] spray.
27* CryingIndian: At the end of the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Resident Evil 5 Kilplix's Croc Fail video]], the picture that appears at the end of every video sports a single tear after almost 7 minutes of failed QTEs.
28* DirtyCoward: Jed has the ability to disappear during critical swarms, only later emerging from a closet once the dust has settled. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxP50UUwOcw at least one case]] this saved him from a Tank.
29* DirtyOldMan: How Jed plays Bill, regarding Zoey.
30* DistractedByTheSexy: Kilplix during The Mortuary map review is bushwhacked while admiring a poster.
31%%* DyingDeclarationOfLove: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzxZiMEyLwc Dead Tank Makes Jed Confess]]."
32%%* EvilLaugh: Con's giggle.
33* FreakOut: Jed's response to getting cornered by a Tank or attacked by a Witch is often a stream of high-speed, panicked babbling. Then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOOcWfOEMNw his reaction]] to learning who dies in "The Passing."
34* FriendlySniper: Cody qualifies due to his somewhat gentle demeanor compared to the rest, as well as his penchant for picking up Hunting Rifles.
35* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the "Meet Con" video.
36* GoshDangItToHeck: Kilplix doesn't swear. He'll post [[{{Gorn}} Gore Montages]] and admire zombie damage that makes Con squeamish, but he keeps his commentary strictly [=PG=].
37** He's been starting to avert this lately however. Though it's just been minor, with "piss" as far as it's gone.
38* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Con's boast of being "The Flame Master" aside, he does have a habit of getting too close to admire his handiwork.
39* IdolSinger: Jonna can do a pretty good [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jigglypuff]] impression.
40* InfernalRetaliation: If Con's going down, he wants a proper blaze of glory. "That's right! Can't touch ''me!'' Set you on ''fire''."
41** Kilplix has remarked that Jed picks up gas cans specifically so they can explode whenever someone tries to revive him.
42* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Con tries to playfully invoke this at one point, but it backfires:
43-->'''Con:''' (''melodramatically'') Leeeave me, save yourself!
44-->'''Jed:''' 'kay.
45-->'''Con:''' ...Uh, so he does.
46* LaserGuidedKarma: Jed was hiding during the Fallen campaign in a different room. Then a smoker pops up. HilarityEnsues.
47** Similarly, in the initial VideoGame/Left4Dead2 playthroughs, Jed goes into a safehouse and shuts the door behind him. There is a hunter in there. HilarityEnsues.
48** While he and Jed and Cody are taking shelter from a Tank in a treehouse, Kilplix taunts Jonna with "no girls allowed!" ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfa_5161x0I&t=5m35s Immediately]]...''
49* LetsGetDangerous: If Con yells "It's on!" then a) the team is being pressed hard and he's about to start fighting with even less restraint than usual, or b) he's had one friendly fire incident too many and is after payback.
50* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Jed's description of his teammate. "Con is kinda like an [=M&M=] at the bottom of a bottle of Pepsi. It doesn't fizz, and it doesn't sizzle, it's just a bottle of chocolate Pepsi... that melts in your hand. You know, it's not edible, but it's kinda cool."
51* NightmareFace: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq5HcZY1fxw&t=4m38s This]] horde rush.
52* NoPartyLikeADonnerParty: When the entire group ends up stuck in a hole, Jed (playing as Coach) informs them that as the fattest one, he'll try to eat the others, so they'd better shoot him first.
53* OneManArmy: During one Typical Night of [=FAIL=] after repeated {{Total Party Kill}}s, Jed got fed up, ran off, and somehow completed the level on his own. In The Parish campaign Con once got separated from the group and held out not only against a Horde, but three Special Infected (the others didn't believe him until they saw the corpses). And then there's the Kilplix Killing Sprees from the ''VideoGame/BattlefieldBadCompany 2'' videos.
54* {{Pyromaniac}}: Remember, you can't spell "conflagration" without Con. "Gimme a Molotov! I feel ''naked''."
55--> '''Con:''' Hahaha! With [[MolotovCocktail this]]... I shall rule the world!
56* TheQuietOne: Cody, to the point of sometimes not calling out if he is grabbed by a Special Infected.
57* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: All of the boys, really, though so far only Kilplix has inspired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pofyLewEnQ tribute videos]] cataloging his shrieks of terror. Oddly enough, Jonna rarely if ever screams.
58* SoundtrackDissonance: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIsqHEawMGI&t=5m29s Possibly one of the most surreal Tank fights of all time]].
59* StairwellChase: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53_FA1MYA9Q This 'un]].
60-->'''Cody:''' Remember, you only have to run faster than the slowest person.
61-->'''Kilplix:''' (''limping, a floor behind, and closely pursued by a Tank'') I HATE YOU ALL!!!
62* StupidSacrifice: Poor coordination for the second The Sacrifice playthrough leads to Kilplix and Cody jumping off the bridge simultaneously.
63* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Just because everyone's friends doesn't mean that the gaming sessions go smoothly. Particularly evident in the "Typical Night of [=FAIL=]" videos.
64-->'''Jed:''' Con took down half the team back there.
65-->'''Con:''' And half the zombies!
66-->'''Jed:''' ...But half the ''team''.
67-->'''Con:''' Well, you know, you take some, you give some, you kind of shoot some, what can you do?
68* TemptingFate: Kilplix a few times. "You ever notice how a horde never attacks... here..." (''rising chorus of snarls'') "Okay, I shouldn't have said that."
69** "They're not gonna spawn YAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
70** When they can hear a tank somewhere nearby, but can't see him yet:
71-->'''Jed:''' (''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake voice]]'') Where are you?!
72-->'''Kilplix:''' Do not seek him ou-(''slow-mo scream when Tank drops down right in front of them'')
73* TooDumbToLive: Whether it's misuse of explosives, lethal cases of Attention Deficit Disorder, or a poor choice in escape routes, everyone will have their moments.
74-->'''Con:''' (''posthumously'') I wasn't sure if it was a water bottle or a [[ExplodingBarrels gas tank]]... so I shot it.
75* WebComic: A very minor one, The Misadventures of Kilplix N Friends.
76* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_skii5GIQ4 Chargers LOVE Kilplix]].
77* WordSalad: Kilplix will lapse into this when he gets Huntered or Chargered. Jed will also lapse into this on occasion.
