7
8	William [=DuFresne=] is That Dude in the Suede, a laidback, sardonic {{otaku}} in a leather jacket who hails from Christchurch, UsefulNotes/NewZealand and reviews anime and anime-related things. He was one of the first people to join Website/ChannelAwesome, as well as that site's first anime critic. He was also the first to leave the site, disappearing in 2009 to go on a mission with his church, and returning mid-2011 in the midst of the site's [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights third anniversary special.]]
9
10	He got his start as an AMV-maker before turning to anime reviews [[LampshadeHanging in blatant emulation]] of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, whom he defended on his Website/YouTube channel after Creator/DougWalker lost his. He was swiftly added to the site when Doug found his knowledge of anime was minimal compared to that of the fans demanding anime reviews.
11
12	During his initial run, he (like most reviewers) had a distinctive set and uniform, a brown suede jacket worn at his kitchen table, backed by pink drapes. Since his return, his set has been swapped to a living room armchair and his old jacket replaced by a full black suede suit.
13
14	He hosts a variety of shows, which are as follows:
15	* ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/animenia Animenia]]'', where he reviews specific anime and provides informative TopTenList[=s=].
16	* ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/amv-heaven AMV Heaven]]'', where he showcases anime FanVid[=s=] in the style of ''Series/MasterpieceTheatre''.
17	* ''[[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/suede-played Suede Played]]'', which he describes as being somewhere between a straight-up review and a LetsPlay of his favourite ([[NarmCharm yet silly]]) games. It's currently covering ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Sigma''.
18	* ''Fandom Stranger'', formerly ''Anime Weirdness'', where he discusses JapaneseMediaTropes and related cultural phenomena.
19	* ''Suede's Stream of Consciousness'', V-log esque videos where he asks the viewers about various topics, talks about progress on projects, responds to their comments, and even does a few top lists every now and again. Since renamed to ''Suede XS''.
20	* ''WebVideo/SuedesPokemonJourney'', reviews of every episode of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. Episodes come out weekly, and included looks at each part of ''Anime/PokemonOrigins''. [[note]]However, it's taken an unfortunately complicated hiatus due to legal troubles with the owners of the anime, [=ShoPro=]. As such it has been partially rebooted using paper cutouts.[[/note]]
21
22	You can see his reviews on [[http://daysofsuede.blogspot.com/ his official blog, Days Of Suede]], and find his [=AMVs=] on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Aurisath multiple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/UCMSCI YouTube]] [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CreativeHeuristics channels]] as well as at [[http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_myprofile.php?user_id=637402 this site here]]. You can follow him on [[https://twitter.com/SuedeBlade Twitter]], [[https://aurisath.deviantart.com/ deviantART]], [[http://www.blogtv.com/People/ThatDudeInTheSuede blogTV]], and [[https://www.somethingsuede.com/ his own website]] as well.
23
24	As of March 2018, [[https://twitter.com/SuedeBlade/status/977653015019585537 Suede has left Channel Awesome again.]]
25
26	Due to his troubles with [=ShoPro=] (see ''WebVideo/SuedesPokemonJourney'' for more details), he's since been experimenting with different types of content, including an "Hour by Hour" style of reviewing content, starting with ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' in 2023.[[note]]Hour by Hour reviews essentially blends a combination of Let's Plays and Reviews by playing a game hour by hour, and then reviewing the time he played like an episode of a show. This was done since Suede finds it difficult to either review, LetsPlay, or stream an entire game, and he finds it exhausting to do commentary live, since he'd eventually burn himself out.[[/note]] Given his difficulties with content creation, only time will tell if this sticks for episodes beyond the Pokemon games.
27	----
28	!!Suede's shows provide examples of:
29	%%%General tropes go here, episode-specific tropes go in the folders.
30	* ArchEnemy: WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}.
31	* ArtEvolution: The art of Linkara, Suede and Jesuotaku for the ''Pokémon'' reviews was updated during ''4Ever''.
32	* AllMenArePerverts: Averted, unlike most of his co-workers, specially his rival WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}.
33	* CatchPhrase: Uses some kind of variation of "Hi, I'm That Dude in the Suede".
34	** He also frequently says, "Anime, man! It messes with you!"
35	* DoubleVision: Shows up in his Top 10 Anime Openings review, his AMV episode of ''Animenia'', his Anime/{{Trigun}} review (with 3 of him) the third episode of ''AMV Heaven'', his recent ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' cameo (see below) and his Top 11 American Anime (twice). Unlike other uses of this trope on TGWTG, he doesn't use this to play different characters, just to show him talking to himself or illustrate gags.
36	* DualWielding / KatanasAreJustBetter: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' (the katana used was actually real and he had to be careful not to accidentally cut anyone with it, though he hit Rob Walker in the forehead and left him with a scar) and his cameo in the PreviouslyOn of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': "Rise of Arsenal #3-#4". In the latter, he's dueling [[DoubleVision a better-dressed version of himself]], who also falls into both these tropes.
37	* GoshDangitToHeck: Downplayed. He just avoids swears more taboo than "crap". Unlike [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] who doesn't use them to prove that you can be funny without using colourful words, Suede doesn't use them because he is never angry enough (though he did say that his Mormon upbringing could have been a cause).
38	* HesBack: As of ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
39	* IHaveManyNames: even more than [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall PsyWeedle]]:
40	** '''That Dude In The Suede''': His pre-mission name. Still used in his Website/ChannelAwesome user account and [=blogTV=] account.
41	** '''[[WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses Ask That Dude In The Suede]]''': Used in the Ask That Guy Episode 31 That Dude In The Suede Edition.
42	** '''Iron Will/Iron Will Productions''': His Anime Music Videos moniker. Referenced in the Return Trailer.
43	** '''Aurisath''': His Website/YouTube, Website/DeviantArt, Skype, Website/LiveJournal and WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries forums name.
44	** '''[=SuedeBlade=]''': His Twitter account name.
45	** '''[=Will DuFrense=]''': His misspelled name in the ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' credits.
46	** '''Suede''': His post-mission name and his blip.tv account moniker.
47	** '''Jareidan''': His UsefulNotes/PlaystationNetwork Tag.
48	* LegacyCharacter: He never became one, but he expressed openness to the idea in his farewell video.
49	* LimitedWardrobe: The suede jacket, though a more formal outfit has been used on occasion post-hiatus.
50	* MissionFromGod: Literally--as a Mormon, he was on hiatus due to his scheduled [[TheMissionary missionary]] activities.
51	* NiceGuy: Even-tempered and calm, especially when compared to his peers.
52	* PermaStubble: Had one in his later pre-hiatus videos and ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
53	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Kyuu/Cue, as of Fandom Stranger episode 1.
54	* TheRival: Suede's is WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}.
55	* RunningGag:
56	** [[Film/{{Tremors}} "What the Hell is going on? I mean what the HELL is going on?!"]]
57	** Any depiction of his fanbase includes one comment about how awesome his curtains are.
58	* SharedUniverse: Due to being part of Channel Awesome, and his numerous cameos and crossovers, he's part of the Reviewaverse.
59	* SelfDeprecation: Takes several shots at himself for being (In his own words) "a rip-off of That Guy With The Glasses" and a "Bottom-Level, Z-Grade, Intern Class Almost Nearly Semi-Celebrity In Training".
60	* SincerestFormOfFlattery: His very first video he states that "I'm That Dude In The Suede, I'm a rip-off of That Guy With The Glasses ''and proud of it''", even though he eventually grew into his own style.
61	* SitcomArchnemesis: WebVideo/{{Benzaie}}.
62	* TheStinger: Has had one since his ''Top 11 American Anime'' video.
63	* TwoferTokenMinority: He was both the only Mormon and the only Kiwi in Channel Awesome.
64	* WorldOfWeirdness: The Reviewaverse, weird stuff can and has happened.
65
66	[[foldercontrol]]
67
68	[[folder:''Animenia'']]
69	* AccentuateTheNegative: His review of ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'', which stands out since he's normally one of the most positive reviewers on the site. [[spoiler:At the end of the review, he whispers, "Between you and me, I actually didn't hate it that much."]]
70	* ActionHoggingOpening: Pointed out as a common trait of animes in his Top 11 Openings video, and he provides the page quote.
71	* AirGuitar: Does this to ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'''s theme song. He's not very good at it.
72	* {{Animesque}}: His "official" return to the site centers around the best of these.
73	* BreakingTheReviewersWall: Benzaie at one point [[DeathIsCheap kills Suede]] using ''Manga/DeathNote'' mechanics.
74	* BrickJoke: In his "Top Ten Anime Villains" video. Yeah, Benzaie having [[Manga/DeathNote that book]] is ''[[SarcasmMode definitely]]'' [[SarcasmMode not important...]]
75	* CallBack: His "We should make another Franchise/StarWars sequel!" line is one to an episode of WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses were he's asked if glasses make people smarter, proceeds to take his off and utters the "We should make another Franchise/StarWars sequel!" line.
76	* ChekhovsGun: Discussed; Suede's mind is blown during [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/animenia/37413-animenia-the-pikachu-shorts-vol1 his Pokémon shorts review]] when he realizes that the Leaf Stone Exeggcute uses to evolve had made a [[FreezeFrameBonus blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance]] a minute or so beforehand.
77	* ChessMotifs: When the villain in ''Anime/Pokemon2000'' compares seeking out ''legendary bird Pokémon and blasting them with a giant net'' (Linkara compares the onscreen interface to a "crappy pre-alpha build for a tactical RPG") to a game of chess":
78	-->'''Suede:''' Uh... no, it isn't.\
79	'''Linkara:''' Hey, Suede, wanna play a game of chess with me?\
80	'''Suede:''' Do I ever! I love chess!\
81	'''[=JewWario=]:''' Ooh! Me, too! I get to face the winner!\
82	'''Suede:''' Wait, what are you-\
83	[cannon cocks off-camera; Suede is caught in a net; Linkara tackles him, shouting; punches land]\
84	'''[=JewWario=]:''' Must be getting old. Kids these days with their battle-chess, and their ruptured spleens...\
85	'''Suede:''' Check... mate...
86	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Just be like every other internet reviewer on the internet and be a jerk to your fans!"
87	* DVDCommentary: [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/specials/31780-suede-retrospective-ffvii-advent-children-commentary His Advent Children review now has one.]]
88	* DontFearTheReaper: The first ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' theme seems to have made him believe this.
89	* DopeSlap: "If you're watching this with someone else and they haven't guessed it, I give you full permission to give them a slap on the back of the head."
90	* FirstInstallmentWins: Averted in-universe; he prefers ''[[Anime/{{Naruto}} Naruto: Shippuden]]'', ''[[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG]]'' and ''Manga/DeathNote'' theme songs to the first ones.
91	* FlatWhat: Does this over Saban Entertainment's decision to change [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Tai's]] last name from Yagami to Kamiya.
92	* FreezeFrameBonus: In the Anime/{{Trigun}} review to show what [[MysteriousMiddleInitial the D]] from Nicholas D. Wolfwood stands for. It's "Dokonokuminomonjawaresumakinishiteshizumetarokakora", though in reality [[WordOfGod Yasuhiro Nightow]] [[FlipFlopOfGod has said various other options]], such as "Daily Cigarette Intake".
93	* GagDub: In the ''Advent Children'' review, in order to sum up otherwise dull and stupid conversations
94	* GagSub: In his ''AMV'' video to show the ViewerGenderConfusion with [[Manga/DragonBall Goku's]] Japanese voice.
95	* GatewaySeries: In-universe; Suede considers ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' to be one for anime.
96	* GoodAngelBadAngel: Had a case of this in his ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' review.
97	* HalloweenEpisode: ''Top 11 Anime Villains''.
98	* HeroicBSOD: The end of ''Manga/ElfenLied'' sends him into one.
99	* InelegantBlubbering: He considers it the correct way of crying, and he provides the page quote.
100	* InternalHomage: He did the "Top 11 American Anime" for his return to pay tribute to his first video. Totally not out of laziness. Not at all.
101	* InNameOnly: He says that ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' is the story of a guy called Cloud that knows the plot of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''.
102	* ManlyTears: ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' was the first TV Show that made him shed physical tears, and tries to defend himself saying that he was only 10 years old, though it still causes him to cry to this day. Granted it was over [[TheWoobie Transmutate]], so it's understandable.
103	* MoodWhiplash: As noted by Suede in the ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' review, Mamoru Hosoda's and Mitsuyuki Masuhara's careers are this. And [[Manga/OnePiece Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island]] too.
104	* OminousPipeOrgan: In his "Top 11 Anime Villains" episode.
105	* OnlyInItForTheMoney:
106	** He half-asses a speech about reviewing ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' because he likes it and to show that anime is an underrated art form before loudly insisting that this trope is the real reason for the review.
107	** This comes up again when he reviews ''Anime/PokemonMewtwoReturns''. After noting about how Mewtwo's reappearance in ''Anime/PokemonGenesectAndTheLegendAwakened'' has made him relevant again,[[labelnote:*]]This was before it became widely known that [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute said Mewtwo was a wholly separate one]].[[/labelnote]] he adds: "Also, my Pokémon reviews give me the most money."
108	* OrphanedSeries: Suede's latest ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' movie review is ''Anime/Pokemon4Ever''... released on February 21, 2014. This is owing to co-reviewer [=JewWario=]'s death leaving him unsure of how to continue, [[https://twitter.com/SuedeBlade/status/671090053809111041 though he hasn't outright cancelled the series, but put it on hiatus]]. His replacement for that video JesuOtaku has outright retired from video style reviews since apart from 1 guest appearance in another Suede review, and Linkara implied he's unlikely to come back to the series as he never watched the films after the 4th.
109	** After [=JewWario=] was revealed to have been a sexual predator, Suede decided to redo his reviews of the 'Pokémon'' movies. So far, the reviews of the first two movies have been remade, with Linkara coming back for those.
110	* ARareSentence: "...If Bill Murray were a teenage girl" from the ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' review. It's also #145 on the list of sentences he thought he would never say.
111	** 90% of them were uttered after he joined [[Website/ChannelAwesome the site]].
112	* RealSongThemeTune: Finally revealed to be "[[http://www.mp3.com.au/Forms/MediaView.aspx?MediaId=105414 How do you have your tea?]]" by Urbantramper & 10,000 Times Glorious in the ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'' review.
113	* ShownTheirWork: For the ''Pokémon: The Movie 2000'' review, Suede tracked down the air dates of certain episodes to prove the existence of a plot hole about Charizard trusting Ash.
114	* SoundtrackDissonance: Put the ''Manga/ElfenLied'' theme song as #10 on his Top 11 Anime Openings because of this. He also admits that the ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' theme song slowly became this as the series progressed, and that the ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' theme suffers from this.
115	* SpiritualSuccessor: Inverted; he believes ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' was conditioning us for the oncoming Anime/DragonBallZ craze.
116	* SturgeonsLaw: Remarked upon in-universe. He applies to {{animesque}} programs, and goes on to focus on the remaining ten percent.
117	* SubbingVersusDubbing: In-universe, Suede prefers subbing except in the case of ''Anime/CowboyBebop''.
118	* SuckinessIsPainful: A variation. Rather than causing mental anguish as per the norm for the trope, the American rap openings to ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' and ''Manga/OnePiece'' cause Suede actual, ''physical'' pain.
119	* SurroundedByIdiots: Uttered when one of Suede's [[DoubleVision clones]] breaks the atmosphere of his ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' sketch.
120	* TakeThat: Various aimed at Anime/DragonBallZ and one aimed at Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi in his Top 11 American Anime Video.
121	* ThemeTuneRap: Hates these not on principle, but because most of them are done poorly. He likes ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'''s theme, calling it "the exception that proves the rule".
122	* TopTenList: Well, Top 11 lists, cataloging [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/thatdudeinthesuede/animenia/778-top-11-anime-openings anime opening sequences]], [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/thatdudeinthesuede/animenia/1884-top-11-anime-villains anime villains.]] and [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/suede/animenia/31992-top-11-american-anime American anime]].
123	-->'''Suede''': "Why Top 11? "Because I want to be as much like [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic That Guy With The Glasses]] as possible, so that other people will watch me."
124	* TwoWordsAddedEmphasis: His response to the ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' theme song: "Two words: air guitar."
125	* WaxingLyrical: After showing several clips of angsting cloud in his ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' review.
126	-->'''Suede''': Crawling in my skin. These wounds, they will not heal.
127	* WithLyrics: Does this to ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'''s score during that review.
128	[[/folder]]
129
130	[[folder:''AMV Heaven'']]
131	* {{Metaphorgotten}}: In the first episode, he goes from speculating on which billionaires the AMV-maker would have to be as rich as to afford the intellectual property in the video to speculating on which billionaires make AMV[=s=].
132	* ParodyEpisode: [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/thatdudeinthesuede/amv-heaven/1997-amv-heaven-episode-3 AMV Heaven episode 3]] is a parody of ''[[WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} Games That You Might Don't Know but That are Still Pretty Damn Sweet]]''.
133	* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: His ''Animenia'' episode on AMV[=s=] is one for ''AMV Heaven''.
134	* PreviouslyOn: Happens in Episode 3, mocking the instances where ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' used it.
135	* RealSongThemeTune: ''Smack My Bitch Up'' by ''Music/TheProdigy''.
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	[[folder:''Fandom Stranger'']]
139	Formerly ''Anime Weirdness''.
140	* AnimeHair: Dedicated the first episode (then called ''Anime Weirdness'') to it.
141	* ContentWarnings: "Warning: the hairdo you are about to see breaks all known laws of the universe. Be advised."
142	* DrunkOnMilk: During his review of ''[[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]]: [[Creator/TakarazukaRevue The Truth Reborn]]'', he feels compelled to crack open a case of "Mormon hooch" - that is, ''Indian tonic water''.
143	* EyeScream: PlayedForLaughs in the Phoenix Wright: The Truth Reborn review, were his eyes burn after seeing a few clips of the musical.
144	* HypocriticalHumor: When he rants about a shoehorned love interest in the ''Phoenix Wright'' musical, the subtitle says he's a closet Phoenix/Maya shipper.
145	* MondegreenGag: He named the show ''Fandom Stranger'' because ''Return of the Phantom Stranger'' sounds like ''Return of the Fandom Stranger''.
146	* OrphanedSeries: In spite of liking the concept, Suede spent the last months before the hiatus focusing on ''Animenia'' and ''AMV Heaven'', making this his shortest series at the time with only ''one episode.'' Understandably, it's listed as an episode of ''Animenia'' on TGWTG (possibly due to Channel Awesome's 5 videos rule). Time will tell if the show's resurrection will fix that.
147	* RealSongThemeTune:
148	** ''Return of the Phantom Stranger'' by ''Music/RobZombie''.
149	** And, when it was ''Anime Weirdness'', ''Let’s Fighting Love'' by ''[[Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone DVDA]]''.
150	* SuckinessIsPainful: Similar to the ''Animenia'' example, his eyes start burning after seeing a few clips of Phoenix Wright: The Truth Reborn.
151	* TakeThat: Has one directed at [[Music/{{Radiohead}} Thom Yorke]] at the Phoenix Wright: The Truth Reborn video.
152	* TemptingFate: "Sweet Justice, how can it go wrong? OhCrap, why did I just say that?"
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:''Suede Played'']]
156	* DesignatedHero: InUniverse: He calls Ryu Hayabusa in ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden &#931''; "Cold-blooded killer of innocent brown ninjas", but he takes it back when he learns that the murdered ninja had "Gaping holes in his defense".
157	* DisproportionateRetribution: Again, it's fine to kill ninjas if they have gaping holes in their defense.
158	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5m0oidUc_o The first version of the first episode]] was shot in his parents' house, instead of his new one, it also was a normal LetsPlay, instead of the second version.
159	* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: He recapitulates the first stage of ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Σ'' as a news report of Ryu breaking into Murai Mansion.
160	* GagDub: Does it in the more boring parts of the game.
161	* GroinAttack: "OH MY GOODNESS DID HE JUST! Um... Yeah... Ow."
162	* LetsPlay: Has described the series as somewhere between this and ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment''.
163	* [[NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine No, Mr. Hayabusa, I Expect You To Dine]]
164	* RealSongThemeTune: ''[[http://anamanaguchi.com/singles/ Airbrushed]]'' by ''Music/{{Anamanaguchi}}''.
165	* RuleOfThree: He falls into a trap door three times.
166	* TrapDoor: "Ahh...trap door! My old nemesis. This trap door is evil."
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder:Other Works/Appearances]]
170	* AerithAndBob: When he did a fanart of an evolved [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lugia]], his main problem was its lack of a name. The ones he thought up were Lugiana, Fulugia and Steve.
171	* AlwaysWantedToSayThat: He has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isJLHw4etJM no real qualm with commenters on his videos, he's just always wanted to rant about them.]]
172	* AntiVillain: Type III in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
173	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Or at least don't completely hate one another. [[SitcomArchNemesis Benzaie's]] greeting to That Dude In The Suede in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''. Though WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} claims that while [[FriendlyEnemy he still hates him, Conan loves him]].
174	* TheBusCameBack: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
175	* CallBack: Benzaie making reference to his longstanding rivalry with That Dude in the Suede in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', which had never been brought up since Suede left two years ago.
176	** In the ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' review, there's a CallBack to the climatic battle of ''Suburban Knights''.
177	* TheCameo:
178	** On the [[WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} Games That You Might Don't Know but That are Still Pretty Damn Sweet Sweet]] episode on ''Wiz 'n' Liz: The Frantic Wabbit Wescue'', answering Ben's call to anyone play the game with him, wich Ben ignores. [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] cameo on the same episode was written for Suede, but he declined.
179	** On WebVideo/PawDugan's Channel Awesome Dance Spectacular 3, he appears on the background with his back turned when [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] raises his sword.
180	** The PreviouslyOn segment on the WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall episode on issues #3 and #4 of ''Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal''; [[DoubleVision fighting with himself]] over the fans' confusion with his costume change.
181	** On the WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment[=/=]WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall episode on issue #4 of ''ComicBook/{{Warrior}}'', as Doctor Insuedeo, a AlternateUniverse version of Doctor Insano.
182	** On the WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall episode of ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'', returning after the Entity/[=MissingNo.=] dies. Annoyed that it was all a Pokémon reference and performing the [=MissingNo.=] glitch on his copy of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red]]''.
183	* ClipShow: The visuals for the "Suede's Goodbye" video is just every episode of ''Animenia'' sped up.
184	* CombatPragmatist: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', after the The Good Witch Warrior Of The Woods starts shooting lightning during a climactic battle, Suede punches her saying, "I find that quite vexing".
185	* CrossOver: Did an AMV with [=Galderon17=].
186	** His reviews of the Pokémon movies, hosted by him, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] and Creator/JewWario.
187	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Played for laughs in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
188	* DramaticUnmask: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights''.
189	* DVDCommentary: Did one for ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' with [[Creator/NoahAntwiler Noah]], [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Lindsay, Elisa]], [[WebVideo/BennettTheSage Bennett]], [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Mathew]], [[WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} Benjamin]], Creator/BradJones, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], [[Creator/DarkMazeStudios Ed Glaser]] and [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin]].
190	* EleventhHourRanger: In ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' he joins Doug's group in the end of Part 5 of 7.
191	* FollowTheLeader: "Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion in 5 seconds" was originally made by Suede in 2007 as a tribute to Creator/DougWalker's 5 Second Movies. It was uploaded to the site after he became a contribuitor.
192	* FreezeFrameBonus: In ''Ask That Dude in the Suede'', when asked who killed the dinosaurs he claims that [[Anime/ThePrinceOfTennis Kunimitsu Tezuka]] did it. To prove himself (due to the ridiculus yet true description of the video he gave) the screen flashes a link to a (now taken down) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtJ41mf019I YouTube clip]] of Tezuka killing dinosaurs.
