1	Luke Collis Sienkowski (born January 14, 1974), better known as [[http://www.thegreatlukeski.com/ the great Luke Ski]],[[note]]"the" and "great" are both lower case by choice, like e. e. cummings[[/note]] is a funny music artist from the Madison, WI area.

8	----
9	!!Tropes Luke Ski has invoked include the following:
10	* ActorAllusion: An entire verse of One Night In Quark's Bar is filled with allusions to Armin Shimmerman's character on Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer.
11	** His [[https://thefump.com/music/song/serenity song]] about ''{{Film/Serenity}}'' has, among other references:
12	-->Drivin' a Firefly's such a hassle.
13	-->Gettin' yelled at by Mal, he's the king of the {{Series/Castle\|2009}}.
14	-->Meanwhile Jayne wants to {{Series/Chuck}} his grenades from the store,
15	-->And when he runs out he’ll have to Buy More.
16	** His ''It's a Fanboy Christmas'' transitions from "[[Series/LostInSpace Danger, Will Robinson!]]" to ''Series/BabylonFive'' in a double Bill Mumy reference.
17	** The conclusion of "Grease Wars" includes a line about how [[Creator/HarrisonFord Han Solo]] will be heading off to make ''Indiana Jones''. Earlier, one of Carrie's lines references how Obi-Wan could be Ewan ''or'' Alec: Leia doesn't really care which one comes to help.
18	* AlbumFiller: The Gothsickles version of "House Party at Arkham Asylum" on ''Baconspiracy'' and tracks 9-13 on ''Worst Album Ever'' also all of the spoken word skits that are specific to an album (unless I find a trope more appropriate to put these on)
19	* AlbumTitleDrop: The primary reason why "88 Lines about 44 Simpsons" was included on ''Worst Album Ever''
20	* AntiChristmasSong: Parts of "It's a Fanboy Christmas" and "It's a Fanboy Christmas II" invoke this. Also the introduction by [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed "Gilbert"]] to "Christmas at Hogwarts" on ''Worst Album Ever''
21	* DanceSensation: "The Spongy Dance" is a parody of WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarePants and [[Music/DigitalUnderground "The Humpty Dance"]]
22	* DrunkenSong: A skit on ''Baconspiracy'' treats Music/JonathanCoulton's "Re: Your Brains" as this.
23	* RockOpera: "Grease Wars" essentially recapitulates ''Film/ANewHope'' as this, with one or two songs dipping into the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequels or ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' for references.
24	* StopAndGo: Played with in "Born To Lose", when the music seems to peter out, only for the singer to plead "can't we at least finish the song?" Apparently the song's narrator is so much a born loser that he can barely keep ''his own band'' interested in the performance.
25	* VillainSong: "House Party at Arkham Asylum" features ComicBook/TheJoker rapping about his and other RoguesGallery villains' plans to mess up the Justice League.
26	* WorstWhateverEver: He has an album called ''Worst Album Ever''.
27	** In reference to the above, his friends put together a tribute album called ''Worst Tribute Ever''.
