Line #30 WebVideo/TheHardcoreKid


1	->''Hey, dudes, Hardcore Kid here. Hardcore enough to review kid's stuff.''
2
3	Brandon "The Hardcore Kid" Nichols is an Internet {{review}}er who reviews...well, a lot of things, actually. His persona is that of a kid who grew up with 80's rockers like Music/TheRamones and a lot of BBC shows including ''Series/FatherTed'', and while his slogan may say he's "hardcore enough to review kids' movies," he occasionally divulges into Internet videos, RobotWars, and ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series. Imagine if [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 90's Kid]] had his own review show, if he was from the eighties. In the end, he usually gives a movie a score of "Hardcore Hit" for good movies or "Hardcore Headache" for bad ones.

5	His videos used to be on Website/ReviewersUnknown, until the site closed down October 2014. However some of his videos can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoVtKWQIzJLcnv_o1Sv-OMA on his Youtube account.]] He also has his old reviews stored [[http://geekjuicemedia.com/author/hardcorekid/ on his Geek Juice Media page.]]

27	* FMinusMinus: He gave some films and shows, like ''Series/MarvinMarvin'' a "Hardcore Tumor."

38	* TheRival: Most likely the Hardcore Kid and Mr. British Guy as well as they are roommates.
39	* {{Rule 34}}: In his review of ''WesternAnimation/JungledyretHugo'', he points out that the third result on Google Image Search was a Rule 34 of Hugo and Rita.
40	* RunningGag: His "Freddy shall rule the world!" punch.
41	** Also a case of AwesomenessIsVolatile in his review of "Fred 3: Camp Fred" when his "Freddy shall rule the world!" punch [[PunchParry collided with]] [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] "I am a man!" punch.

51	* TheUnpronounceable: In his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', his inability to pronounce "NIMH".
52	* UnusualEuphemism: "Smegged up".
53	* WhatTheHellHero: Despite his criticisms of ''WesternAnimation/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'', he actually liked it. Everyone who camoed in the review was horrified and left in a huff.
