J.P. and his Inners

    J.P. Beaubien 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e659492e_a4bb_4d6f_b015_65411c274953.jpeg
A fictionalized version of the series creator, the narrator of the series and the closest thing it has to a protagonist.
  • 419 Scam: Is heavily implied to have been the victim of one of these in "Avoiding Scams", where he mentions lending his bank account to a Nigerian prince.
  • The All-Solving Hammer: No matter the genre or character archetype he's talking about, his advice always includes "Add a love triangle!"
  • Ambition Is Evil: In "Noble Houses":
    J.P: (Evil drawl) who knows? Anything is possible with enough ambition...
  • Back from the Dead: He gets resurrected with no explanation in "Killing off characters" episode to demonstrate how great (by his crazy standards, of course) this trope is.
  • Backhanded Apology: Exaggerated. J.P. makes an Apology Video Template as a way to teach Youtubers on making apology videos appear genuine towards viewers. However, J.P.'s apology is filled with so many Blatant Lies, water bottle tears, and refusal to accept it is his fault, that the video is clearly just a way to make Youtube revenue.
  • Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad:
    • He regards laziness and cliches as good writing and dismisses any good advice.
    • invoked This extends to morality too. In "Mary Sue" he states the heroine must not display unheroic traits like mercy or forgiveness and in "Power Fantasy" he says "True heroes abuse their power at every possible opportunity." The one exception is racism and other bigotry, which he does not approve of.
  • Big Word Shout: In most videos, he usually shouts the Love Triangle in a dramatic or comical manner to alert audiences on how it must always be applied in works. For his "Grimdark" video however, he says "grimdark" in a overly dramatic fashion to showcase just how gritty the discussion will be.
  • Black-and-White Insanity:
    • In "Taking Criticism", he insists that everyone is a malicious troll who never has any compliments or has only good things to say about you and your work.
    • Carried over to "Giving Criticism", where he encourages writers to fall into one of the above approaches and nothing in-between.
  • Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Kills a puppy, a kitten and a baby seal in "Grimdark" in order to stop people questioning his worldbuilding.
  • Bound and Gagged: Is tied up and gagged at the start of "Villains" thanks to the villains.
  • Can't Take Criticism: invoked In "Taking Criticism" he recommends this approach, and claims the best possible response is to lash out at the critics in self-destructive rages that burn through your reputation.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: invoked He describes himself as "somewhere between Chaotic Neutral and Neutral Evil".
  • Caustic Critic: When it comes to giving criticism, he recommends being a gigantic ass to any writers with extreme harsh and unwarranted criticism.
  • Circular Reasoning: His decisions as to why his writing advice must be added in a work is simply because they are necessary, no matter how out-of-place they may seem.
  • Death Is Cheap: Even though his video on "Mentors" gets him killed, he is able to return back as a ghost and eventually be revived because his videos have a lot of Plot Holes.
  • Descent into Darkness Song: Parodied. he usually has a silly background music that he uses in most of his videos to give terrible writing advice for viewers. However, in his "Grimdark" video, he abruptly changes his silly music into dark music just for the sake of it.
  • Dropped a Bridge on Him: J.P. advises his readers to kill off their characters like this. He believes that by constantly killing off characters in shockingly abrupt ways, audiences will gasp in horror of their favorite characters dying. J.P. is fine at shrugging off the pointless character deaths and the audiences inability to get attached to the characters.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite his boundless enthusiasm for all forms of bad writing and completely amoral attitude, even he draws the line at certain subject matters. He will either break character to express disbelief at the advice the script calls him to give, come close to doing so, or just tell the audience not to write something terrible in-character.
    • He couldn't mince words about how horrific radiation really is.
    • He couldn't bring himself to tell people to copy H. P. Lovecraft's prejudices, even sarcastically.
    • His only advice for telling racist jokes is "good luck". This is his basic advice for poking the "hornet's nest" of the LGBTQ community as well.
    • In Alpha Heroes he mistakes the episode for one on villains and is distraught that it’s about heroes.
    • Played for Laughs in "Comic Relief Characters" as it's quite clear that he utterly despises comic relief characters, even while in-character.
    • While he still sarcastically says that it's the wrong way to write an Isekai scenario, while discussing the option of having the hero take down the slaver operation instead of "saving" the girl by buying them his tone of voice makes it quite obvious how abhorrent he finds slavery.
    • Despite his extreme narcissism, even he thinks the Inner Critic expecting to get a six-figure deal from a publisher for his first-ever story is unrealistic.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Defied. In his discussions on creating backstories for character, he wants the past of villains to justify whatever morally grey or evil actions they commit. This is primarily because he believes that the only good villains in fiction are the tragic ones and whatever heinous crime they commit will never invalidate the tragedy.
  • Grey-and-Gray Morality: Parodied. He created the Sociopathic Soldier, so that his own war story can give the illusion that war is a morally grey battle, without acknowledging how the Sociopathic Soldier ever got approved into the military.
  • Iconic Outfit: Is always clad in jeans, boots and a black T-shirt.
  • Improbable Weapon User: So far, he has killed four people note  with his pencil.
  • In the Hood: Wears a black hooded robe in "Intrigue Plots" and "Cosmic Horror".
  • Large Ham: His narration overall is this in a charming way.
  • Mad Artist: He may not write his stories in blood, but he's committed to creating his own story and sharing it with the world, and will kill anyone who disagrees.
  • Mentor Occupational Hazard: In his take on mentors, J.P. tries to pad out his discussions on them as long as he can, so he can desperately prevent his own death. Eventually, he is killed once he starts to discuss on the possible death of mentors. He eventually comes back as a ghost and eventually be revived because of Plot Holes.
  • Mood Whiplash: Parodied. J.P. advices to readers to completely ignore whatever tone is set up. In moments where J.P. suddenly starts to give out good writing advice, he just immediately thinks up of a terrible one, which ruins eventual buildup of his tone, turning it into satirical comedy.
  • Narcissist: Exaggerated. His ego is shown to be so great, that he Can't Take Criticism to anyone that dares disagree any story idea he proposes. When it comes to the video "TAKING CRITICISM" J.P is shown to have a ego that has a size even bigger than Jupiter.
  • Oblivious to His Own Description: When J.P. goes on a short list of jabs at comic relief characters, he doesn't realize until the very end that he may be describing himself.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Invoked. In his "Grimdark" video, he makes sure to constantly make a serious frowny face to create a dark, mature, and serious grimdark tone.
  • Perpetual Smiler: He always keeps up a happy smiley face as he spews out terrible writing advice that must be included into stories. In the video "Grimdark" however, he purposely defies the tropes in exchange of being a Perpetual Frowner to match its tone of grimdark.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Zig-zagged. Despite his general enthusiasm for most forms of bad writing, he usually draws the line at anything which promotes racism or homophobia. However, he's a bit more lax when it comes to sexism; if he's discussing a genre where misogynistic tropes have traditionally been common, he'll usually recommend that authors continue to use them.
  • Running Gag: "Add a love triangle!", a phrase that appears in almost every episode.
  • Self-Deprecation: Accidentally does this to himself on a few occasions.
    • In "Characterization"
      J.P.: It's not like I've been characterized as petty, greedy, self-serving, short-sighted, insensitive, mean, ignorant, ruthless, and about as all-around trust-worthy as a used-car-salesman trying to sell you time-shares on Neptune.
    • The "Spice Chart" in "Lovemaking Scenes" ranks the real J.P.'s love life as "Level -1 Negative Spice".
  • Sincerity Mode: The video "The Nature of Clichés", has him be genuinely honest towards his viewers and warning them that of his lack of sarcasm, so that he may give out his opinions and thoughts on cliches.
  • Shout-Out: His default expression face is a pallete-swap of the Awesome Face/Epic Smiley meme.
  • Show, Don't Tell: Inverted. A cheap writing trick to avoid fleshing out the competency and depth of his characters is to simply have other characters talk about themselves or other characters.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: In "Taking Criticism", a diagram of him is shown with his ego many times the size of Jupiter. A bigger one is shown in "Power Fantasy". An even bigger one is shown in "Symbolism, Themes, and Motifs".
  • Smug Smiler: His default expression is the "Epic Smiley" that makes him look more like a smug asshole.
    • Another one of his expressions makes him look even more smug and is normally shown whenever he brags about his supposed "superior intelligence". To take it a step further, his smug expression is used for a scale comparison chart where an image of his face that represents his ego dwarfs the size of planet Jupiter.
  • Stepford Smiler: Brought up in Humor Writing; the real-world J.P. is a self-admitted cynic and has a depressive disorder, so naturally his avatar has some (possibly exaggerated) Straw Nihilist views that occasionally come out over the course of the video, with him later admitting Black Comedy is a way to laugh in the face of the uncaring universe and inescapable human evil. "Writer Self-Care" is all about how to be one, and quietly also about why this behavior is massively unhealthy.
  • Straw Nihilist: Plays one for the "Writer Self-Care" video, explaining all the ways you can warp and distort the world around you to excuse your inability and unwillingness to fix yourself.
  • Stylistic Suck: He has disco balls be used as crappy CGI for "Franchise Reboots" and "Reboots Rebooted". His CGI should be given tons of focus and money to be visible towards the audience, even if the tone of his reboots become too dark for the CGI to be seen.
  • Super Gullible: "Avoiding Scams" reveals he's surprisingly trusting (he describes himself as "the most trusting person I know"), which makes him an easy mark for even the most obvious con artists. In addition to the implications that he was scammed multiple times by shady characters pretending to be literary agents and the like, he's also apparently been bamboozled by people claiming to be a Nigerian prince and a Ukrainian mail-order bride.
  • Unexplained Recovery: After his death in "Mentors", he's resurrected at the end of "Killing off Characters" without even the most cursory explanation.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Fiction!J.P. is greedy, murderous, lazy, narcissistic, and hilarious.
  • Villain Protagonist: While always Played for Laughs, he never does anything remotely heroic and only acts for personal gain.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: By "How Not To Write A Mary Sue," he's finally caught on that Mary Sues are something a writer should avoid creating. Unfortunately, his advice on avoiding them is just to invert the Mary Sue's typical qualities to the opposite extreme, leading into even more subtypes of Sue.

    J.P.'s Inner Critic 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b3e4966e_eb57_4905_988a_e775f055cf95.jpeg
J.P.'s internal critic who shows up to offer advice — snootily, of course.
  • Artifact Name: He was originally supposed to be the manifestation of JP's own internal doubts about his own writing abilities. In his later appearances, he's clearly shown as a separate bad writer who has a rivalry with JP, making the "Inner" part of his name a misnomer.
  • Flanderization: In his first speaking role in "Rivals", he was shown as arrogant and obnoxious, but his advice was still largely reasonable. By "Traditional vs. Self-Publishing", he's become just as clueless and unhelpful as J.P.
  • Foil: Despite initially appearing to be the opposite of Beaubien, he is just as arrogant as him.
  • Light Is Not Good: Or rather, Light Is Not Substantially Better At The Job. He may exist to offer good advice, but is too dull and arrogant to be any more helpful than J.P.
  • Nerd Glasses: He wears glasses, symbolic of his ability to see through Beaubien`s terrible writing advice.
  • Palette Swap: Looks just like J.P., but with a white shirt, Nerd Glasses, a pen and critique notes.
  • Rule of Symbolism: As he himself points out, some of his more visible characteristics (his glasses, his white shirt, the fact that he uses a pen) help to represent the fact that he's a more perceptive and careful writer than J.P.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: To J.P. The two of them constantly bicker and disagree.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: invoked He has some pretty high expectations in "Traditional VS Self Publishing" regarding traditional publishers. He thinks that despite being a first-time author, the publisher will sign a six-figure deal with him. He also believes the publisher will let him publish his story as intended and refuses to believe that they might pressure him into rewriting his story to pander to the broader market. JP even lampshades this is why he's his Inner Critic and not his Inner Cynic.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: He says the trope name almost verbatim in "Traditional vs. Self-Publishing" after JP tells him that expecting his publisher to market his book for him seems like a surefire plan.
    Inner Critic: Your endorsement of my position fills me with unimaginable dread.

    J.P.'s Inner Greed 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inner_greed.png
J.P.'s internal greed who seeks to gain more money and power by creating more ads.
  • Apocalypse How: He unleashes the Adageddon, flooding the TWA Expanded Universe with ads.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He is elemental greed made manifest.
  • Big Bad: Of the season 3 of Sponsor Wars.
  • Break Them by Talking: Delivers the nasty one to Sir McStabbypants by revealing the truth, causing him to downward spiral into a Heroic BSoD
  • Bribing Your Way to Victory: Double Subverted. Greed is accused of bribing the officials to vote for him in the Fedaration, but it is actually a ploy of the the Ancient Conspiracy. However, the Senator's anger on Greed's bribery immediately disappears simply because Greed bribed him under the desk.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Effortlessly defeats the Dark Lord when he tried to stop him.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: He expresses disgust and throws shade at the Inner Critic for "destroying far more worlds than [he] ever could."
  • Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is deeper than J.P.'s voice, though surprisingly not deeper than the Inner Critic's.
  • Evil Virtues: Deconstruction. Although he is the personification of Greed, as his name says, he wants every single person to have their needs met. While fulfilling everyone's needs can be viewed as a noble goal, Greed wants to them to seek more than what they need. The desire to want more rather than have what is necessary ends up creating a power vacuum.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He speaks in a soft, polite tone when interrupting people, especially his enemies, with ads. He also offers endless money and success to anyone who is willing to join him. However, he only does this to convince people to help him conquer the world.
    Dark Lord: Wow… So if you offer people something rather than just threaten them with death and torment, they will be more likely to do what you want?
  • Foil: To J.P.'s Inner Critic. While both being J.P.'s inners, Inner Critic mostly antagonizes J.P. and mostly tries to give advice to better the work, while Inner Greed only cares about the profit, instead of the quality, and mostly antagonizes the villains in the TWA Expanded Universe instead of J.P. himself.
  • Hypocritical Humour: The Senator expresses frustration for Inner Greed's bribery to win the Federation election, but Greed easily convinces the Senator to immediately forget about his bribery by personally bribing the Senator.
  • Increasingly Lethal Enemy: He slowly gets stronger and stronger the more ads are brought up.
  • Knight of Cerebus:
    • Even before he official makes his debut in the Terrible Writing Advice Extended Universe, the mere mention of his name from one of the hand-monsters is taken seriously since it defeats the Baron and the Conspiracy Guy.
    • As the Knights of Integrity and Conspiracy Guy get closer to him, the advertisements he brings out are portrayed in a threatening manner and are battled by the Knights of Integrity to protect the entire universe from him.
      • Even the Conspiracy Guy starts to lampshade the surprisingly dark change of tone from the moment they approach his prison.
  • Mr. Exposition: Like the other villains, he commonly and carefully monologues his plans to the other villains.
  • Palette Swap: Originally looked just like JP in a green shirt, which was lampshaded by the Dark Lord. He becomes bulkier immediately after an ad appears though.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Part of his goal for conquering the world is to lift up all those currently in poverty, because greed won't truly rule the world until everyone has all their needs met and still craves more.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed behind Project IG until the villain's collective greed set him free.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Compared to Inner Critic, Inner Creativity, and J.P. himself, he is not a critic like them, but is instead a genuinely competent villain that wishes to ruin the entire Terrible Writing Advice Extended Universe with sponsorships. As for J.P. and his other inners, their goals is to mostly focus on giving viewers advice, even if they are too horrible to be applied.
  • Walking Spoiler: Throughout the Season 2 Sponsorship Wars, he is occasionally teased as the true source of all ads, but his appearance and name are never revealed. As season 2 reaches closer towards the end, he finally makes his debut and explains the entire existence of the Terrible Writing Advice Extended Universe.

    J.P.'s Inner Creativity 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inner_creativity.png
J.P.'s Inner Creativity that he introduces in the video, "Reboots Rebooted". Inner Creativity hopes to give viewers good writing advice, but gets killed off by J.P. before the former is able to be given proper characterization.
  • Bloodless Carnage: After getting killed by J.P. and having his body be hidden behind a shed, Inner Creativity is never shown bleeding along with J.C.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Implied. While he is not shown getting killed, it took only one bullet to have Inner Creativity killed immediately and stuffed behind a shed. The most plausible outcome to have Inner Creativity die that quickly is by having his head shot.
  • Call-Back: He gets killed and has his corpse be left in the same shed where J.C. was killed in "Original Characters".
  • Nice Guy: In his quick appearance, he shows himself as a Nice Guy excited to join Terrible Writing Advice Universe and is glad to be a new helper for J.P. Unfortunately for him, his affable attitude isn't enough to save his life.
  • One-Shot Character: He briefly appears in "Reboots Rebooted", but he is immediately killed by J.P. after being introduced.
  • Palette Swap: Just like the other Inners, Inner Creativity looks exactly like J.P. The only differences Inner Creativity has compared to J.P. are his paintbrush, red book, and blue clothing.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: He is glad to become a new character of the Terrible Writing Advice Universe, but gets killed off by J.P. before he is able to be properly characterized.

Villains

    Tropes applying to all villains 
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Any one of them will serve as the villain of the hypothetical stories in each episode, and the sponsorship storyline is driven by their competing attempts to steal the sponsorship for themselves.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: All of them admit to and love being evil.
  • Classic Villain: All of them want to rule/destroy the world, have armies of Mooks and revel in Cartoonish Supervillainy.
  • Enemy Civil War: In Season 3 of the sponsorship segments, after unleashing Greed, some of the villains decide to side with him while the others enter an Enemy Mine situation with the Rebels and Knights because they don't care about the money.
  • Enemy Mine:
    • In Season 2 of the sponsorship segments, after the Evil Emperor and Baron team up to capture various other villains that were interfering with their conquest plans, said villains end up teaming up with the Rebels to break out.
    • In Season 3 of the sponsorship segments, after JP's Inner Greed convinces some of the villains to join him, the Knights of Artistic Integrity end up allying with the remaining villains in order to fight back against him.
  • Flat Character: All of them have the basic traits of common types of villains and that is all of the characterization they have.
  • For the Evulz: All are pretty much embodiments of this.
  • Generic Doomsday Villain: All are entirely intentional examples. None of them have any motivation and characterization beyond being evil for the sake of it. When the Dark Lord was asked what he was gonna do if he succeeded in his quest for power, he struggled to think of a response, and eventually said he would try to get more power.
  • Laughably Evil: Being a comedy series, all of them are played for laughs, whether it be poking fun at the cliches they represent, subverting those cliches for humor, or them saying funny lines in the sponsorship segments.
  • MacGuffin Melee: All of them desire to fight for the Sponsorship ads in order to further their goals for either getting power, money, or to destroy the world.
  • Villain Protagonist: The sponsorship storyline focuses on the villains, alternating between certain ones per episode, as they try to steal the sponsorship and plan mayhem in between.

    The Dark Lord 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dark_lord_v2.png
Click here to see him in Season 3 

A High Fantasy villain.

  • Academy of Evil: He once went to Villain School to learn on what it meant to become a good villain. The reason as to why he frequently gloats and explains his character skits in a dramatic fashion to others is because it is what Villain School taught him.
  • Can't Believe I Said That: Often finds himself saying Stock-hero phrases like "You won't get away with this" and "Stop right there! Your vile plot ends now". He's recoils in disgust immediately after.
  • Captain Ersatz: Of Sauron, as both are leaders of orc empires who wear Spikes of Villainy over black armor.
  • Cast from Money: The Dark lord on "Grimdark" gains the power to defeat the Chosen One simply because he has a lot of money from the advertisements.
  • Circular Reasoning: He loves power because he loves power.
  • Curse Cut Short: When soldiers from the Evil Emperor steal Skillshare during the end of "Grimdark", Dark Lord prepares to say "son of a bitch", but is unable to do so because of the video being cut short.
  • The Dark Lord: As per his name. He's a pretty harmless one, getting into constant shenanigans with other villains and never trying to conquer anywhere.
  • Deal with the Devil: He claims the "Dollar Shave Club" in courtesy of J.P. allowing him to promote the organization and its products. When J.P. tries to take back the sponsorship from the possibility that Dark Lord is misinterpreting them, Dark Lord silences J.P. to make it clear that he now owns the sponsor because J.P. had forfeited it to him.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: "I do not repeat myself, nor do I fall into repetition!"
  • Evil Gloating: Exaggerated. He is very prone to rambling on and on about his evilness and how he performs his advertisement skits throughout the many videos he appears in. In fact, he rambles so much that when he hears the Evil Emperor gloat in his face, Dark Lord realizes how Evil Gloating can be a dumb way to reveal your secrets.
  • The Hero: Ironically has taken this role, or at least the closest one to it (besides the Knights), as of late, being the one who leads the charge to stop Greed and his new allies. He's somewhat aware and weirded out by it.
  • Just Between You and Me: The reason as to why the Dark Lord revealed the abilities of Skillshare to the Chosen One is because explaining your plans to your enemies is what Villain School taught. This later gets deconstructed when the Evil Emperor reveals to Dark Lord his plans and it causes the Dark Lord to realize how dumb he is.
  • Love Triangle: Parodied with him being conflicted between destroying and enslaving the world.
  • Mordor: His personal kingdom is a black volcanic wasteland which gets sold to an estate developer.
  • Neck Lift: When J.P. threatens to change their sponsorship deals, he thanks J.P. for giving him awesome line before picking up his neck and dropping him under a cliff.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: He can't be killed by weapons, magic, starvation, disease or any other conventional method.
  • Not So Invincible After All: Even though J.P. accidentally made him an Invincible Villain that can only be killed by a MacGuffin, the Terrible Writing Advice Extended Universe shows that he is Not So Invincible After All. Even with his great powers, he is no match for Greed's increasing powers from the constant advertisements.
  • Obviously Evil: As if his openly and unrepentantly villainous attitude wasn't enough, he's a huge, imposing figure with dark, spiky armor and glowing red eyes who lives in a volcanic wasteland.
  • Offscreen Villain Dark Matter: He has unlimited resources, despite not having the infrastructure to obtain them.
  • Only I Can Kill Him: The hero using a holy sword is the only one who can kill him.
  • Orcus on His Throne: He spends most of his time on his throne, while sending his minions to fight.
  • Our Orcs Are Different: He rules over an army of them. TWA orcs are bright green, wear armor and play video games.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: They're the only facial features of his that can be seen under his helmet.
  • Spikes of Villainy: Spikes cover his helmet and pauldrons.
  • Starter Villain Stays: He is the first villain to be introduced into the TWA universe and is the first to claim a sponsorship ad by making a deal with J.P. Although the sponsorship ads are constantly stolen by other villains, he always pursues them and is constantly in conflict trying to retrieve the sponsors.
  • Tin Tyrant: Always seen in an imposing suit of armor.

    The Evil Emperor 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galactic_emperor.png
A Space Opera villain.
  • All According to Plan: He apparently allowed his own empire to get destroyed, his war crimes be exposed to the public, and own soldiers be killed purely so he could lure the heroes into a false sense of security and kill them with hidden Elite Mooks.
  • The All-Solving Hammer: No matter what the situation, his solution will be "Destroy the entire planet!"
  • Composite Character: Despite looking like Ming The Merciless, most of his personality is drawn from Emperor Palpatine.
  • Damned by Faint Praise: The praise he receives from his soldiers in the video, "Plotting a Story", has one of them accidentally reveal that their Evil Emperor is a hardcore Fortnite player and is an incredibly old man. The soldier begs to not be killed for offering insufficient praise to him.
  • Demoted to Extra: He was a major player in the Season 2 of The Sponsorship Wars, but he's relegated to the background come Season 3.
  • Didn't Think This Through: After destroying numerous planets, tax revenues fall.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: He recommends destroying a planet for drops in infrastructure spending.
  • The Emperor: He's the emperor of a galactic empire.
  • Elite Mooks: Everything went All According to Plan by having the heroes kill all of his Mooks and then surprise them with new stronger mooks once they have marched into his base.
  • Galactic Conqueror: Though he has a bad habit of shooting himself in the foot with unnecessary and counterproductive destruction of entire planets.
  • Hypocritical Humor: By refusing to acknowledge how the power of science had provided for his empire, he immediately gets hacked by Conspiracy Guy and has succeeds by using the power of science.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: His army is a Captain Ersatz of the Stormtroopers and thus are incapable of hitting anything.
  • Planet Destroyer: Played for Laughs and Exaggerated. His solution to deal every problem is to always destroy planets with his weaponry.
  • Stupid Evil:
    • Continues to destroy planets even when it causes losses for him.
    • His constant destruction towards planets has caused them to stop providing him with tax revenue.

    The Baron 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baron_1.png
A Low Fantasy villain.
The Emperor: Again? How many betrayals is that?
  • Evil Old Folks: Is an evil old man, and the trope is discussed by the other villains in "Villains", along with Creepy Crossdresser, Insane Equals Violent and Fat Bastard.
  • Fat Bastard: He is fat and a villain.
  • Faux Affably Evil: While he can be charming when he wants to, he's still a treacherous sleazebag.
  • Villain Has a Point: In the "Isekai" episode, he tries to bribe the Isekai protagonist into joining his side with a harem of his own, saying he won't be assaulted by these girls for any Accidental Pervert moments.
    Baron: Hear me out. You join our kingdom, and we give you an actual harem! Like with women you can actually sleep with and that won't physically assault you when you see their underwear by accident.
  • Zerg Rush: His plan to dispose of House Goodguys in "Noble Houses" is to charge in with a bunch of troops and stab everyone.

    Conspiracy Guy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/conspiracy_guy.png
Click here to see him in Season 3 
The leader of the Ancient Conspiracy
  • All According to Plan: He is very fond of saying this towards every plan he devises. He will even say this even if something convoluted has to happen for him to succeed.
  • Ancient Conspiracy: A Deconstructive Parody of this, as the conspiracy has to pawn off ancient relics to keep afloat.
  • …But He Sounds Handsome: While wearing a Paper-Thin Disguise, he calls the Ancient Conspiracy Guy an "extremely smart and handsome gentleman".
  • Cold-Blooded Torture: He kidnaps a person on the street and then has the person be horrifically tortured to expel information to him on what Audible really is.
  • Death Is Cheap: Even though he gets killed in "Rivals" by one of his own conspiracy members betraying him and poisoning the others with poisonous gas, he makes an Unexplained Recovery to return in "Science Fiction Weapons". Once the Dark Lord sees him back, he questions him as to how he came back, but Conspiracy Guy admits that he simply got better.
  • Deconstructive Parody: Of the Ancient Conspiracy, with him telling the other conspirators "You're all useless. All you do is mutter cryptic nonsense at TV screens all day."
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: His Season 3 outfit differentiates him from the other members of the Ancient Conspiracy by having his cloak be outlined by gold lines as opposed to purple like the others.
  • Gone Horribly Right: The high quality classes from Skillshare that Conspiracy Guy provided for his conspiracy members have caused one of them to become so smart, that he ended up betraying them all to steal the sponsorship money for himself.
  • In the Hood: As befits his mysterious, secretive nature.
  • Moon-Landing Hoax: "Science Fiction Weapons" reveals that the moon landing was faked by Conspiracy Guy and his allies. They had used a powerful hologram to generate a fake moon for the astronauts to land on it.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: In the sponsorship segments, he ends up infiltrating the Knights of Artistic Integrity by just wearing a cardboard box with a crossed-out dollar sign instead of armor.
  • Public Domain Artifact: He has a vault of these, containing a dozen perpetual motion machines, the Holy Lance, and the video's sponsor, Skillshare.
  • Running Gag: He has to constantly remind people that he's not a ghost.
  • Second Episode Introduction: The first episode of the TWA advertisement lore begins with Dark Lord promoting the Dollar Shave Club and silencing J.P. for attempting to retrieve his sponsorship. For "Rivals", the second episode of the Terrible Writing Advice Extended Universe, Conspiracy Guy makes his debut by stealing the Dark Lord's next sponsorship ad and then reading it himself as a way to make money.
  • Training from Hell: He signs up the entire Ancient Conspiracy to take high quality classes from Skillshare, so they would become more competent at running their conspiracy.
  • Unexplained Recovery: After one of his fellow conspirators kills him and the other conspirators by filling the room with poisonous gas in "Rivals", he's chatting with the Dark Lord in the next episode, where he simply says "We got better".

    CEO of Megacorp 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ceo_5.png
A Science Fiction villain

    The Cthulhu Cult 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cthulu_cult.png
A group of Cosmic Horror Story villains.

    Evil AI 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ai_14.png
A malevolent artificial intelligence.
  • Cyber Cyclops: Only has one eye, albeit a very large one.
  • Do Wrong, Right: Compared to the Dark Lord and the Cult Leader's ways of ending the world, the Evil AI believes that its Robot War will be the most awesome way.
  • Lotus-Eater Machine: Manages to trap the Dark Lord and the Cult Leader into a simulation of the Cthulhu apocalypse, only breaking when it couldn't keep up to the Cult Leader's hype for it.
  • Machine Monotone: It constantly talks in one, even when endorsing products.
  • Only in It for the Money: One of the few villains who sided with Greed, immediately dumping the others for money.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Manages to infiltrate the empire's ranks by simply displaying a soldier helmet on its screen.
  • Robot War: He wants to release a robot apocalypse to end the world and because it will be cooler than the Dark Lord and the Cthulhu leader's ways to end it.

    General Chainsaw 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/general_chainsaw_9.png
A general who loves war. The villain of Military Science Fiction.
  • 0% Approval Rating: "Underwater" would be an understatement when describing his approval rating in his campaign against Inner Greed to mobilize the Federation. That's saying a lot since Greed's measly 20% approval rating is still a huge improvement that his.
  • Ascended Extra: He was a supporting character in Season Two but is now a main player in Season 3.
  • Blood Knight: He is disappointed by the lack of violence in the sponsorship segments and gets excited when he gets to fight.
  • Butt-Monkey: Nothing ever goes right for him, from the Ad getting stolen before he could use to getting eaten by the cult leader.
  • Colonel Kilgore: He loves war so much that despite being thwarted multiple times from trying to start a proper war, he just won't give up.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He seems genuinely oblivious to the people of the Federation who doesn't want war, as he just can't comprehend why they want peace.
  • Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: The Cult Leader eventually spits him out as apparently the General gives him indigestion.
  • Useless Accessory: His chainsaw actually doesn't work and is purely decorative.

    Duke Draken Direburn 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duke_87.png
A villain that appears in the topic of Revenge and is portrayed as the antagonist that is driving the Anti-Hero into the path of vengeance.
  • If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: As the Anti-Hero prepares to kill him, his forgotten sidekick appears out of no where to warn the Anti-Hero of the moral consequences of killing a person. This only becomes a hilarious deconstruction when Duke Draken Direburn is a villain that has killed innocent people, while the Anti-Hero only wants to avenge his loved ones and stop his evil.
  • Informed Attribute: J.P. marks him as an intelligent mastermind villain that should choose to bid his time after he is arrested, but instead chooses to kill the Anti-Hero midbattle by pretending to surrender.
  • I Surrender, Suckers: As a way to have the Anti-Hero kill him without the latter facing any sort of moral dilemma, Duke Draken Direburn attempts to kill him by trying to stab him in the back. Anti-Hero notices his move and pushes him off a cliff, being successful in attaining his revenge with the justification that it is self-defense.

    Grimdark Villain 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2021_07_23_at_60218_pm.png
The main villain of a Grimdark story.
  • Character Derailment: This is JP's advice in-universe for handling him. When fans start seeing him as more sympathetic than the protagonist, the writer should make them do something that crosses the Moral Event Horizon, no matter how jarring or out-of-character it is for what's been established about the character so far.
  • Dark Magic: The magic he uses is fueled by souls of the dead and it radiates a powerful red aura.
  • Hate Sink: What he ends up being turned into after the audience accidentally sympathizes with him.
  • Moral Event Horizon: An invoked example, after the audience ends up sympathizing with him by accident, he ends up committing an atrocity that is super horrible to make sure the audience no longer sympathizes with him.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: He claims to be humanity's greatest defender, but that is so he can eat them all later.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: A rare In-Universe example; he is meant to be the Big Bad of a grimdark story, but he ends up coming across as more sympathetic than the "hero." Naturally, the author should respond by making him a Hate Sink who crosses the Moral Event Horizon.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Apparently, he likes using infants as sandwich spreads.

    Villain 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_12_27_7.png
A villainous character who appeared in early episodes and is largely absent from the series nowadays.

    Evil Lackeys 
The cannon fodder that every villain needs.

  • Authority in Name Only: The elite mooks aren't much more threatening than regular mooks, but rather they are just mooks that have a more threatening name.
  • Do Wrong, Right: Since they are incredibly incompetent at being threatening towards the heroes, J.P. created a list of strategies for the lackeys to use so they can all become more effective shooters.
  • Fake Ultimate Mook:
    • Standard troops are often described as "dangerous" before being easily defeated by the hero.
    • The elite troops are also described as "dangerous" to the point that it is believed that the hero will have to use new strategies to defeat them, only to be defeated just as easily as the standard troops.
  • Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: They are extremely terrible at shooting and killing the heroes that J.P. has to list down attack strategies as possible ways to make them more dangerous.

Heroes

    The Chosen One 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f460dcb3_7e11_4c14_a16b_b74a1fb6b45b.jpeg
The main High Fantasy protagonist destined to defeat the Dark Lord.
  • Art Evolution: He was originally less buff, with longer hair and no blue tint on his sword.
  • The Chosen One: It’s in the name. He is destined to slay the Dark Lord in single combat.
  • Cool Sword: Wields a white one with a blue tint that is the only thing that can slay the Dark Lord.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Every battle, including the fight with the Dark Lord, is this in his favor.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Very heroic and clearly blond.
  • Heroic Build: One of the most muscular recurring male characters.
  • The Hero: A classic fantasy example. He is always the main character when he appears.
  • Light Is Good: Light silver armor and a white-blue sword, and the most morally good of any main hero.
  • Only I Can Kill Him: His holy sword is the only thing that can slay the Dark Lord.
  • Playing with Fire: He can shoot powerful flames, though this is rarely mentioned.
  • World's Strongest Man: He is the most powerful of all J.P.’s major characters, able to easily defeat the Dark Lord and the Anti-Hero, who are themselves One Man Armies.

    Anti Hero 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/317d5cd0_7688_4036_bca1_a69437809ed8.jpeg
  • '90s Anti-Hero: Is brooding, macho and muscular.
  • Anti-Hero: But of course. He appears to be a Disney Anti-Hero at best, possibly an Unscrupulous Hero.
  • BFS: Is often seen carrying a sword as tall as himself.
  • Cigar Chomper: Often has a cigar in his mouth
  • High-Pressure Blood: He kills his enemies by slicing their body parts off with his sword, and the amount of blood he spills ends up turning the screen to dark mode with his edginess.
  • An Ice Person: He wields ice to contrast with The Hero, who wields fire.
  • Mook Horror Show: Whether it be to satisfy his desire for revenge or to fulfill his power fantasy, he kills off mooks in absurdly brutal ways. Anti-Hero kills them by slicing their bodies open with his giant sword, resulting in their bodies spilling a lot of blood.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His eyes tend to glow red when he's in a violent rage.
  • The Rival: Played this role in the “Rivals” video.
  • Shout-Out: He looks an awful lot like Guts. Notably, this is not a Take That! - rather, he's more of a Take That! to people that have only a surface-level understanding of characters like Guts and copy that.
    Beaubien: "Unfortunately, success spawns imitators who often fail to imitate the deeper themes and elements that make Berserk such a great character driven story. So no, this video is not a dig at Berserk or Guts. Instead, the video proposes what such a character might be like if a less skilled author read Berserk and decided to try to write an antihero by essentially copying the surface elements and ignoring the deeper themes of the story and more subtle nuances of characterization Guts receives throughout the story."

    Mary Sue 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a381cef9_d74b_4b90_91e0_4e664c4b17e9.jpeg
  • Author Avatar: As par the course for many a Parody Sue, she is an overly idealized version of her author.
  • Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: When describing her J.P. lists mercy and forgiveness as unheroic traits.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Played for Laughs. She had her parents murdered, got abused by an orphanage, had her orthant friends die, fount an adoptive family but they all died, had her middle school and high school boyfriend die, and has "Orphanitis". Her entire tragedy is so big that it results in Mary Sue being unable to carry the "unnecessary BS" that her backstory represents.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: She dishes this out a lot, with her response to getting a paper cut being blasting the person in question to pieces.
  • Hilariously Abusive Childhood: She had to deal with an abusive orphanage and a bunch of jerk orphans that is constantly being stacked with different types of tragedies, until it causes her to be unable to carry all them for gaining more pity points.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Her flaws are things like "too kind". Subverted in that her supposed kindness is an informed attribute.
  • Informed Kindness: She is supposedly "too kind", but she is really selfish.
  • Invincible Hero: She always effortlessly defeats her enemies.
  • Only Sane Man: Occasionally becomes this in later episodes compared to the rest of the hero's party.
  • Parody Sue: She`s a deliberate self-insert on a comedy channel, so she has many stereotypical traits of them Invoked and Played for Laughs.
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: The morality of the characters is judged entirely by the way they treat her.
  • Sole Survivor: Played for Laughs. Her entire tragic backstory consist of her family, orphan friends, adoptive family, and boyfriends dying, with her emerging as the only survivor. However, her entire backstory is simply "unnecessary BS" since it only serves her pity points.

    Not Mary Sue 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/not_mary_sue_4.png
A heroine that is definitively not a Mary Sue.

    Grim McGrimingson 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2021_07_23_at_60155_pm.png
The main "hero" of a Grimdark story.
  • Designated Hero: Invoked, he is supposed to be the main hero of the story, but he lacks any positive traits and does things so heinous it makes the villain look better in comparison.
  • Freudian Excuse: His excuse for slaughtering orphans along with the couples who were about to adopt them is "magic made me do it."
  • Hidden Depths: Played for Laughs, with the grimdark hero being conflicted on if he should wear a giant skull pauldron or a giant pauldron made of skulls.
  • Informed Attribute: JP describes him as being "morally ambiguous" even though he lacks any redeeming traits and does things like slaughter orphans along with the couples who were about to adopt them.
  • In the Back: He stabbed one of the villains this way.
  • Nominal Hero: Provides the page image and slaughters orphans for seemingly no reason all while JP swears he’s just a "morally ambiguous" hero.

    Isekai Protagonist 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/isekai_protagonist_profile.png
The character that appears in the "Isekai" episode of Terrible Writing Advice and is transported to an Isekai world to collect a Harem party.
  • Battle Harem: Upon arriving to the Isekai world, he receives a Harem party as support to battle the villain he will eventually face.
  • Hero's Slave Harem: To show how "virtuous" he is, he contributes to the concept of slavery and buys a slave girl as a way to protect her. Even though it would be more heroic to destroy the system of slavery, the Isekai Protagonist buys slaves as a way to expand the harem.
  • Invincible Hero: His level is so strong that he practically considers the level 99 Dark Lord, who is considered a powerful character, as a low-level boss that won't provide him much EXP.
  • Tsundere: Played for Laughs. His Tsundere girl has so much Tsun-Tsun that she ends up beating him up with little provocation. To make the Tsundere girl more likable, the Isekai Protagonist suggests turning down her Tsun-Tsun and add more Dere.

    Love Triangle Man 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/love_triangle_man.png
An overpowered self insert character.
  • The Adjectival Superhero: "The Incredible Love Triangle Man".
  • Designated Hero: Invoked and even provides the main page image, he is supposed to be the relatable hero, but he never uses his powers for good and instead uses them for petty grudges on obvious Straw Characters.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: He beat up a random English professor for the unforgivable crime of giving him a C- on a paper.
  • Informed Attribute: He is supposedly a "brave and handsome hero," but we never see any evidence of him being brave or using his powers for good.
  • Invincible Hero: He is incredibly overpowered to the point that the idea of him dying is impossible. In the "Killing Off Characters" video, JP even comments how he should never die in the story.
  • Love Triangle: What he uses for his name and costume.
  • Parody Sue: He is a God-Mode Sue on a parody channel and a pretty obvious example of one, being super overpowered to the point the tension of the story vanishes. invoked
  • Power Fantasy: His first appearance is in the episode of the same name. Where he is so powerful that all the tension or challenge of the story evaporates.
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: He focuses on petty vendettas against obvious Straw Characters instead of using his powers for good. Despite this, the tone should be written in a way that sides with the protagonist, rather than being neutral or portraying them in the wrong for their actions.
  • Wicked Heart Symbol: He wears a shirt with pink heart symbols, and despite JP's attempts to insist otherwise, it's very clear that he's not actually a good guy.

    The Knights Of Artistic Integrity 
A group of knights known only by their representative who believe that ads will cause the downfall of civilization.

The Knights in general

  • Butt-Monkey: They have only ever won once, with a dozen defeats in contrast.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: Their founder, J.P.'s Inner Integrity, created the knights to battle Greed. He was also the one who sealed the Intergate, the place where all ads come from.
  • Hipster: Conspiracy Guy and the resident General Ripper calls them "the hipster knights" for their rejection of capitalism.
  • Impossibly Tacky Clothes: In the words of the Conspiracy Guy: "You look like a Renaissance Fair got raided by anarcho-communists."
  • Knight in Shining Armor: While this is their motif, they're not quite competent enough to actually pull it off in reality.
  • Strongly Worded Letter: Their response to anything that goes against them, even if it's threatening their life? Issue a stern warning.

Sir Knight Commander Mcstabbypants

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b80ae64d_661e_4a0d_972f_1f9a27b2acca.jpeg
  • Elmuh Fudd Syndwome: He mainly talks like this.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: He is mostly known as "Knight Commander McStabbypants".
  • Gave Up Too Soon: He tries to halt the Sponsorship Wars by saying the "Forbidden Naughty Word" (actually the N-word) onscreen, thereby driving away all the channel's sponsors. However, he doesn't actually know what the word is, so he tries to find it by going through a dictionary and reading all the words in order. Right as he's about to get to it, the Ancient Conspiracy Guy convinces him to give up.
  • Heroic BSoD: Falls into this when Greed reveals the truth of the world to him. Fortunately, Sir Adblock manages to pull him out of it.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He accidentally caused the Sponsorship Wars by revealing to the villains that collecting all the sponsorship ads could grant them near-unlimited power.

Sir Adblock

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sir_adblock.png
  • The Mentor: Somewhat fills this role to Knight Commander. Teaching him the meaning of integrity.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He voluntarily marched to the top of the Intergate to halve the effects of the effects of the Adageddon, being killed by Chrome in the process.
  • Rousing Speech: Gives one to Sir Knight Commander after he falls into a Heroic BSoD, stating how no matter how hopeless it is, the must continue fighting as it is the essence of integrity.
    Sir Adblock: Just because the world is broken doesn't mean we should give up the fight to make it better. No matter how hopeless the odds may be. We call that integrity and we are its knights. So enough with the pity party, integrity calls and we must answer, cause no one else will.

    The Rebels 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_12_27_3.png
A group of rebels opposing The Empire.

Other Characters

    Alpha Male 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/a6977aed_91b0_4c1f_9b89_c4e18ae06558.jpeg
A hunky, take-charge man who is a love interest for romance novels.

    The Comic Relief 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zappers_5.png
"Zappers!"
A satire of Plucky Comic Relief characters, some guy in a sleazy stand-up comedian getup who is always doing finger guns at people while spouting unfunny jokes.

    That Guy 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_12_27_9.png
A particularly obnoxious player of tabletop RPGs who looks like a stereotypical neckbeard.
  • Anti-Role Model: He's pretty much the embodiment of everything you shouldn't do in an RPG.
  • Evil Smells Bad: "Evil" is a stretch here but his stench is just as bad as his personality.
  • Facial Scruff: Sports an ugly, unkempt neckbeard that gets mocked by JP.
  • Fat Bastard: He's chubby and, while not outright evil, is definitely an asshole.
  • Fedora of Asskicking: Inverted. His fedora is meant to mark him as an obnoxious and unsavory individual.
  • Hate Sink: That Guy is the personification of all the worst qualities a tabletop RPG gamer can have. He has all the bad traits of every other player previously mentioned while lacking anything remotely positive or redeemable. JP (sarcasm aside) makes it clear that That Guy is undoubtedly the worst of all players and should be avoided at all costs.
  • Insufferable Imbecile: Not only is he a prick, he's also not very bright. According to JP, his level of intelligence can be rivaled with "a single cell bacterium" and "intestinal worms", and the fact that he even manages to show up to the table and, even better, DM his very own campaign is very surprising.
  • Jerkass: By all accounts, he is quite the asshole.
  • The Pig-Pen: He's always covered in Cheeto dust and his body odor is so foul that no one could possibly endure it.

    J.C. 
A satire of poorly-done original characters in fanfiction.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_12_27_8_6.png
  • Boom, Headshot!: Implied. As he follows J.P. behind the back of a shed, J.C. is killed immediately in one shot, which could imply that it was a headshot.
  • The Cameo: His corpse is briefly seen in "Reboots Rebooted" because of Inner Creativity's death and the latter's corpse being placed in the same shed J.C. was left.
  • In the Back: While J.C. is asked to look at the shed, he gets shot in the back of the head by J.P., completely unaware.
  • Offing the Annoyance: J.P. eventually gets fed up with J.C. constantly interrupting his video with irrelevant and poorly-written points, and lures him out behind his shed where he shoots him.
  • Palette Swap: He looks exactly like J.P. but with blond hair, a red shirt, a different book and sunglasses.
  • Parody Sue: For some reason, J.P. constantly sings his praises and just can't get mad at him despite him being unnecessary and sometimes even outright detracting from the video he's in.
    J.P.: J.C. just completely mangled my smooth segue between topics! ...And I'm completely fine with that, for some reason!
  • Super Gullible: Despite how much he has insulted J.P. and the writing advice the latter is forced to change to give out to the viewers, J.C. never notices how J.P. is annoyed with him. Eventually, when J.P. asks J.C to follow him to win a "special prize", J.C. immediately trusts him but gets killed off in the back of the head by J.P.
