1(Hell)Riiser (real name: Lasse Riishøj) is a Website/YouTube reviewer who specializes in, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin obviously, webcomics.]] Even despite the stigma of ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor, Riiser still gives his best critical take on the webcomics distributed online.
2
3Oh, and yes, he's reviewed ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''. Pity him.
4
5Riiser doesn't really have an iconic outfit except for his hat, but he is known for wearing [[FunTShirt a different cool T-shirt every show.]] His logos and his nickname also have an unusual, but charming hip-hop aesthetic that actually works for him. Despite being Danish, he speaks fluent English with a few slip-ups here and there, which he lampshades later on.

7He also does Let's Plays for his Website/YouTube channel, which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/WebcomicRelief here]]. Or you can check his stuff out on his own website [[http://hellriiser.com/ here]].
8----
9!!This work contains examples of:
10
11* AlwaysWantedToSayThat: He gets to use [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic "I'm... acting!"]] in one of the Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} episodes. "Damn, that felt good!"
12* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: At one point names multiple ObviouslyEvil {{meaningful name}}s, with one of them being "[[TakeThat Zoe Quinn]]".
13* AscendedMeme: For some reason, during the latter half of the ''Webcomic/HowIBecameYours'' review, he slipped into calling the author Jamie Cruz when her real name is Jackie Diaz. He referred to a random character as "Jamie Cruz" in the later What Dreams May Come review, by the same author.
14** [[LampshadeHanging There, are you happy? I made a Jamie Cruz joke.]]
15* BerserkButton:
16** Tracing other people's art is a big one, especially when it's obvious (and often [[OffModel poorly done]]) as with the cases of Jackie Diaz, Leoian and [=DisneyFan01=].
17** During his review of ''Jack'', it was shown that he despises when someone uses GratuitousRape.
18** Don't get him started on ''Webcomic/LasLindas'', aka the comic that spawned his (now-gone) hatred towards furry comics in general.
19* BestialityIsDepraved: Repeatedly expresses disgusted outrage along these lines during his ''WebComic/DraconiaChronicles'' review about the BizarreSexualDimorphism between male and female tigers (ie, [[SexyDimorphism the females are fully sapient anthropomorphic tigers and the males are decidedly not]]).
20* BewareTheQuietOnes: While he's not the most soft-spoken, he still tries to maintain a reasonable volume level whenever he speaks. That is unless the author chooses to write something extremely offensive, something extremely stupid, or clearly has offensive views, in which he's not going to play nice.
21* CaptainErsatz: During the stream of Elzeron Chronicles, various stream comments note the similarities of the characters to characters in popular media: Angewomon, Cynthia, and genderflipped!Kamina/Ken Ichijouji. Riiser was upset at the author for bringing Kamina into Elzeron Chronicles. He was even befuddled at his cameo as the tranvestite "Mr. Harrison" animatronic during the homage to VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys.
22* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Chris describes his super decked-out DS in ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', and Riiser is left with only one question...
23--> "Can it... play UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance games?!"
24* CountryMatters: He has used the word on several occasions.
25* DamnedByFaintPraise: At the end of his review of ''How I Became Yours'':
26-->What did we learn from all this? ... Jackie Diaz is hot? ... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and something about tracing]].
27* EnemyWithout: See SevenDeadlySins below.
28* ForcedMeme: In one Sonichu episode, he tried to turn [[RuleThirtyFour "Pink Magic"]] into a meme. So far, no results.
29** [[RuleThirtyFour Pink Magic]] has been acknowledged by the creators of Sunstone.
30* FunTShirt: A different one every episode!
31* SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike: He did this with ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'', ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots'' and ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}}''.
32* HumanNotepad: Riiser is gradually becoming one of these, with all his tattoos. Now he even has a new one, courtesy of an enemy.
33** He revealed recently on Twitter that he actually has his tattoo artist on speed dial.
34* INeedAFreakingDrink: Happens quite often, especially when he was reviewing Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}. But then, who can blame him?
35* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: For an entire SEASON, brought on by Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}. ]]
36* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: Riiser has his own webcomic as well.
37* NippleAndDimed: Riiser censored parts of Las Lindas and Moon over June and his stream of Elzeron Chronicles in order to avoid this trope. Censoring Elzeron Chronicles was such a chore, sometimes Riiser misses a spot once in a while.
38* OnceAnEpisode: He ends every episode with "I'll see you on the next Webcomic Relief, take care!" usually followed by him covering up his camera with his hat.
39* OohMeAccentsSlipping: At one point, due to Chris's poor emoting in ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' (during one of the bits made from photo stills) while reading the dialogue he apparently transforms Chris into Creator/TommyWiseau.
40* OrSoIHeard: Riiser isn't a fan of [[Webcomic/{{Oglaf}} Oglaf]]--he was just borrowing the trade from a friend. Really.
41* PowerTattoo: An evil version attached to him by Lucy--apparently he has to review whatever she says or it'll do something to him, but we don't know what that is yet.
42* PrecisionFStrike: Quite common. "Hey dickmuncher, where's the Playstation Vita?!"
43* RageBreakingPoint: He was not happy about ''Webcomic/LasLindas'' referencing VideoGame/MetalGear.
44* RapidFireNo: A common occurrence, reaching an impressive level in one of the earlier Webcomic/{{Sonichu}} episodes.
45* RedBaron: HELL RIISER.
46* RootingForTheEmpire: InUniverse. His review of ''WebComic/LasLindas'' has him insisting quite fervently that the villainess Alejandra should be the protagonist as he finds Mora and company to be utterly despicable.
47* RuleThirtyFour: He [[spoiler: Or rather, his Lust.]] wonders why someone looked at a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pokémon]] and said "I'm gonna PORK THAT!" demonstrated with a [[{{Gasshole}} Koffing]].
48* RunningGag: Played with in the ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' review. Earlier he had reacted to a plot development with "If you could do all that then what the fuck was the point of all the drama up to this point?!"
49** Later on in the series, he pointed to a picture-in-picture of said clip.
50*** Even later, he pointed to a picture-in-picture OF said picture-in-picture of him cutting to said clip.
51* SevenDeadlySins: A recent arc involves him dealing with [[EnemyWithout the manifestations of his own versions of each sin.]]
52* ShowerOfAngst: He had to take one of these after reading ''Webcomic/{{Jack|DavidHopkins}}''.
53* SleepyHead: Sloth, naturally. Possibly even to narcoleptic levels, as he dozes off in mid-sentence.
54* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Riiser" with two I's, not one--possibly in reference to his last name.
55* SpitTake: In his review of Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow, this is his initial reaction to learning [[spoiler: Mandy caused the September Eleventh terrorist attacks.]]
56* StayInTheKitchen: He mocked the extremely chauvinistic male characters' dialogue in ''What Dreams May Come'' with impersonating a caveman giving the advice.
57* SuddenlyShouting: ''Webcomic/LasLindas'' drives him to do this quite a few times.
58* ThisIsGonnaSuck: After finding out that there was something that his Lust would feel bad about porking (But still pork it either way), this was the reaction of Riser. [[spoiler: It turned out to be ''U.S Angel Corps'']]
59* TomatoInTheMirror: Apparently, the Riiser we were following in Season 3 was actually [[spoiler: a manifestation of his Envy sin, which we never saw.]]
60* UnusualEuphemism: Apparently, due to the way one panel in ''WebComic/HowIBecameYours'' is drawn, it makes [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zuko peer right up Aang's]], er, "airbending chamber."
61* VomitDiscretionShot: Had to make a couple of these thanks to reading ''US Angel Corps''.
62* WalkingShirtlessScene: Riiser's been shirtless on camera a few times. The man has some impressive tattoos. We even get to see the "Huge Fucking A on [his] back" he alluded to before when he reviewed [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Homestuck.]]
63* WhamLine: "Open your eyes, ''dipshit''![[spoiler: YOU ARE ENVY!]]"
