7	Uniquenameosaurus is a Youtuber who primarily makes comedic anime analysis videos but occasionally covers other media or broader aspects of internet culture. His humor combines an [[RefugeInAudacity extreme willingness to violate social taboos]] with a [[NiceGuy sweetness]] that his fans find endearing, and his work tends to be packed with [[BreakingTheFourthWall meta-jokes]] and [[BaitAndSwitch subversive moments]]. He also has a tendency to dismiss subjectivity which is atypical of Youtube's anime community.

9	Uniquenameosaurus made his first analytical video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4msgYvPFOH0&t=1s "RWBY VS TOME"]], in August of 2013. He posted sporadically over the next three years, primarily doing comparisons of similar shows or ranking his favorite antagonists. In March of 2017, he returned from a hiatus and explained that he had stopped making videos in a (failed) attempt to [[HeroicRROD treat severe joint pain]], declaring that he was [[TookALevelInBadass going to take control of his life]] and [[{{Determinator}} push forward despite his medical issues]].

12	Despite starting a [[https://www.patreon.com/Uniquenameosaurus Patreon]] in July of 2017, Uniquenameosaurus [[StarvingArtist struggled to earn money]] from his (increasingly popular) videos and suffered financially. In May 2018 he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpN8ZjYaY1o posted a video]] describing his money problems and announcing a [[https://teespring.com/new-frogs-come-pre-lubed#pid=369&cid=6519&sid=front new line of (NSFW) merchandise]] based on one of his most popular jokes. This caused a spike in donors which he responded to by [[DontYouDarePityMe assuring fans]] that the shirts were covering his expenses, so it seems that his near-term future is secure.

14	!!Tropes come pre-lubed!
15	* AdaptationalContextChange: In his Game of Thrones rewrite, [[spoiler:the infamous Mad Queen scene still happens, but rather than Daenerys being driven to insanity, it's her doing after realizing she never had a home to begin with]].
16	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In the Game of Thrones rewrite, Daenerys asks Jon Snow "What would you do if you didn't have a home?" [[spoiler:This gives him pause since the solution is to make one and just realized that without the Night King, the land beyond the wall is free for the taking]].
17	* BerserkButton:
18	** Stealing from artists.
19	** Deliberately attempting to stymy debate and discourse on a topic, see TheReasonYouSuckSpeech below.
20	* BlatantLies: Will sometimes put ridiculous falsehoods into his videos to mess with viewers. [[CannotTellALie The truth rarely stays hidden for long]].
21	* BookDumb: Claims to have an IQ in the mid 80's and has joked about getting scolded when he was in school.
22	* CatchPhrase: Not one of his own, but he will borrow [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?"]] for the purpose of yelling at people.
23	* CharacterDevelopment: Discussed, he argues that people underestimate the degree to which this can be fulfilled by physical transformations.
24	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Idiosyncratic and prone to going on weird tangents.
25	* {{Determinator}}: Became this after returning from his health-related hiatus.
26	* {{Fanservice}}: Was originally fine with it, but noticing the dignity of shows like ''Anime/HunterXHunter'' has somewhat turned him against it.
27	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
28	** Ominously zoomed in on [[Anime/MyHeroAcademia Tsuyu]] in the video which preceded his merch announcement.
29	** Implied that he was working on a ''Anime/FairyTail'' video over a year ago which has yet to surface.
30	* {{Hypocrite}}:
31	** Zigagged during his "You SHOULD pirate anime" pair of videos. In the first, he makes a point of using legitimate streaming services to prevent accusations that his views on piracy are just an excuse to avoid paying for content. Comments in this video accused of hypocrisy anyway by saying he isn't practicing what he preaches. So in the second one, he says that he cancelled his subscriptions to legal streaming sites and donated the money that he ''would'' have spent on those subscriptions to the Animator Dormitory Project.
32	** He also made a preemptive distinction when criticizing art thieves.
33	* ImAHumanitarian: Kind of, he teased [[FrogMen Asui]] [[LittleBitBeastly Tsuyu]] fans by seasoning frog legs to sensual music.
34	* KickTheDog: He took the infamous literal example from ''Manga/ElfenLied'' and looped it over the music to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1''
35	* KindHeartedCatLover: His cat makes occasional appearances.
36	%%%* LargeHam: He has his moments.
37	* LaserGuidedKarma: A lot of these moments happened throughout the Game of Thrones rewrite, though the two major ones are [[spoiler:Bronn being killed by Brienne after he tried to call her out on killing him dishonorably]] and [[spoiler:Petyr being DevouredByTheHorde that, as Varys points out, is now mostly comprised of corpses made by the war he caused, all as he is OutGambitted by Varys willing to sacrifice the entire kingdom just to ensure Littlefinger doesn't rule over it.]]
38	* MoodWhiplash: Will often put [[DeadpanSnarker lighthearted quips]], [[BlackComedy pitch black humor]], and wistful sentimentality in the same video.
39	* NiceGuy: Strives to support struggling creators and very patient with his critics.
40	* {{Pun}}: "Canonballism", among others.
41	* PurposelyOverpowered: Thinks this trope is underrated, as incredible strength lends itself to a likable character.
42	* RefugeInAudacity: There doesn't seem to be anything he won't laugh at. Reacting to [[MonsterClown Hisoka's]] apparent pedophilia as if it's an endearing quirk of his character.
43	* RuleThirtyFour: Invoked word-for-word in his Patreon's stretch goals. If someone pledges $2000, he will commission high-quality porn of his avatar.
44	%%%* SarcasmMode: Frequently.
45	%%%* TaremeEyes: Shown to have these during his face-reveal.
46	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Several, although the other party is generally unaware of it.
47	** "Why you SHOULD Pirate Anime" is a huge one to the streaming industry and their defenders.
48	** His criticism of how extreme the ''Anime/SwordArtOnline'' hate has gotten.
49	** Mocking the company which tried to have him advertise merch using stolen art.
50	** Delivered an absolutely scathing one to ''WebVideo/MothersBasement'' in his "You SHOULD Pirate Anime 2" video.
51	--->"Now I don't blame you for missing this, as it's an obscure video with 200 views. In fact you couldn't have seen it because it came out after your video. Some might say that the actual issue is with the confidence that you just declare 'Oh it just turned out to be an attempt to improve encoding', as if there wasn't even the ''slightest'' chance in the world that this could be wrong, when in fact the thing you're assumably sourcing here (since you don't give one) is Crunchyroll's press release ''after the controversy''. [[SarcasmMode Real reliable]], ''the word of the company in question!'' But you just claim it as fact when you should have said ''allegedly''. The thing is though, you ''always'' fucking do this. You're always so sure of yourself about ''everything''. Like, even I had my doubts about bringing up this video as evidence since it's so jargony and, hell, maybe I missed something between the lines - I know I'm not infalliable, I know I can be wrong. But you are so unbelievably ''arrogant'' that the thought that you could be wrong hasn't even crossed your mind. you're so happy to just assert that you're right and just dismiss anyone as a child or entitled or some other bullshit emotive argument that cannot be grounded. I'm sorry, I debated being civil like usual [[DeadpanSnarker but I'm naturally reckless at heart]] so I'm going to cut loose for once. The thing is none of that truly bothers me, but that arrogance is what lead you to do the thing that ''genuinely'' pissed me off. I've seen loads of detractors of mine in the past year, none of them have bothered me - even when throwing out the nastiest insults - I don't care, I just zone out. It's doesn't hurt my argument. When Crunchyroll employee Miles posted [a tweet calling me the 'dumbest anime youtuber'] I thought it was ''[[ActuallyPrettyFunny funny]]''. Literally the night of the piracy video I printed it out and stuck it next to my desk. People getting angry is, like, part of the process. I just want discourse and debate to continue. But you, ''you'', before you posted this video admitted on Twitter that you wanted to make a response but didn't want to 'give it any exposure', and when you came to actually make the video you didn't tell anyone where you where getting the arguments from. And on Twitter, when someone asked you if you were responding to me, you just said 'Not giving direct promotion, but it does address the videos arguments'. Oh, oh but wait a second, oh I'm sorry, you ''did'' direct viewers to the original argument. ''[[DeadpanSnarker In the fucking tags!]]'' But that's not the point. Look, look, you are ''not'' infalliable. I don't care how bad you think someone's idea is, there is always the ''chance'' you could be strawmanning or wrong or any number of other things. And to intentionally minimize how much of your audience gets to see - and let me put emphasis on this - ''both sides of the argument'' is downright disgusting. And I don't need you for views, I already gained a great understanding of the [Youtube algorithms] by the time I made that video. I already knew that eventually it would get a lot, and I knew yours would fail to get anywhere close because the majority of people who watched your video probably saw mine at some stage. So I don't think there was much harm done. But if 'You Should Pirate Anime' wasn't as successful as it was, people would - by your ''intention'' - be experiencing my argument ''from you alone'', with ''none of the evidence'' and ''none of the logic''. It was the principle that mattered. If I was anyone else, a video with a 98% approval rating well above my peers, that clearly brought something new and interesting and convincing to the table would have died without anyone seeing it and ''you'' would've gladly sat there and let it happen. No, no, you would've ''celebrated'' it. You're ''poison'' to the open market place of ideas."
52	* TookALevelInBadass: Made a decision to pursue his dreams and start taking risks when he came back from hiatus. So far it's paid off.
53	* WhamLine: Almost all of his rewrites has a single line that the rewrite is based around.
54	** The one spell that [[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort]] uses that solidifies him as a worse evil than Umbridge? "[[LaserGuidedAmnesia Obliviate]].", on Hermoine.
55	** Rey's origin in the rewrite of ''Film/TheLastJedi'' is summed up neatly by Kylo: "Do you want to know what I saw in you the night we dueled? I didn't see ''nobody''. I saw something ''worse'' than that: an anomaly. An anomaly so latently powerful in the Force, I felt you trying to influence my mind, even if you weren't consciously trying to."
56	** Amber's reason for leaving Mark in his rewrite of ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021''? Because her father was killed. When Mark inquires what she means, she reveals that "Darkwing was my dad."
57	** Thanos has a completely reworked story for the rewrite of ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', though the major shift is his new motivation is what he says once he finds out about the multiverse. "The work wasn't done."
