5[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY6Ij8zOds0WJEeqCLOnqOQ Alex Meyers]] is a content creator that primarily discusses movies and TV shows. He first joined Website/YouTube in 2015 and first started his career by doing video essays. But a few years later changed his format to simply doing animated reviews on sitcoms and movies.
6
7!!''Alex Meyers'' contains examples of:
8* ArtEvolution: When Alex first started his animated reviews, his character was just a simple bald cartoon with no features. But after the first year, Alex's character was designed more anime influenced.
9* BleepDammit: Due to the nature of Youtube, Alex would censor any cursing or inappropriate language in the media he's discussing. He would use words like:
10** "DEVIL'S TANGO!" [[labelnote:Note]]To allude to two characters having sex.[[/labelnote]]
11** "Firetruck." [[labelnote:Note]]Censorship for any use of the word 'fuck.'[[/labelnote]]
12** Squeaky Toy Sound Effect [[labelnote:Note]]Censoring sounds from acts of violence.[[/labelnote]]
13* FormulaBreakingEpisode: His second video on Season 7 of ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' takes a live-action approach to his usual style, with Alex's cartoon avatar appearing as a plush doll and the characters from the show being represented as puppets. Curiously, only Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead have puppets; Cheryl remains a cartoon, and when Alice is brought up, she's portrayed by a [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Psyduck]] plushie of all things.
14* GagCensor: Alex would also use funny images to hide non-family friendly imagery in media, such as:
15** A banana gun [[labelnote:Note]]In order to censor any violent weapons.[[/labelnote]]
16** An old lady vacuuming [[labelnote:Note]]To cover any scenes involving kissing.[[/labelnote]]
17* MisterSeahorse: At one point in his review of ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'' his cartoon avatar is shown reading a book called ''Harry Potter And The Pregnant [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]]''.
18* PerverseSexualLust: PlayedForLaughs, as Alex regularly brings up his past fictional crushes, such as [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Jupiter]], [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie Roxanne]], and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Mimi Tachikawa]].
19* RunningGag:
20** The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x28e1_ge3Y0 Big 'Ol Red Flag Parade]]" [[labelnote:Note]]For whenever a character ignores obvious red flags.[[/labelnote]]
21** "But before that, really quick..." [[labelnote:Note]]His transition between the opening monologue and his sponsor read.[[/labelnote]]
22** A cut to a black screen with Alex giggling in the audio.
23** Abs: The Musical (and [[MrFanservice Archie]]'s abs in general), courtesy of his ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'' reviews.
24* SelfDeprecation: He's usually the butt of a lot of his own humor, ex: joking about being a loser in high school.
