History Characters / TheSpoonyExperiment

* MrFixit: He managed to get an UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar CD working (for just long enough for Spoony to record footage off it before it broke down again), a feat which even WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd and his own technical genius friend had failed at.

Dr. Insano's HumongousMecha. Originally the product of a short-lived [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] comic book reviewed by Linkara on ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', Insano took control of the metal monster to serve his quest for world domination. Although destroyed by Linkara with his magic gun in his first appearance, Neutro has apparently been rebuilt.

* CatchPhrase: Regularly says"With SCIENCE of course!" Sometimes contracted to just "[[ForScience SCIENCE!]]" as a BattleCry or ChewbaccaDefense.

%%* CatchPhrase: "I'm the God-Damned Avatar!"

%%* CatchPhrase: "While you were still learning to ''spell'' your ''naaaaame...!''"

%%* CatchPhrase: "STOP RESISTING!"

%%* CloningBlues: After dying in his first appearance, he was cloned back to life for his second. [[spoiler: Given his fate in WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee, his next appearance in [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe's]] review of X-Com 2012 is presumably one of these.]]

* CloningBlues: Hates his clone self.

Spoony's former girlfriend was the webmistress, forum admin, and "fan-boy dominatrix" of the site prior to their breakup. Scarlett received sundry shout-outs on Noah's blog and v-logs, and maintains her own review blog [[http://scarlettopia.com/ here]].

%%* AnythingThatMoves: You have to feel sorry for his "guests" on Spooning With Spoony.

A parody of [[ProfessionalWrestling Professional Wrestler]] the Ultimate Warrior, played by Spoony, who shows up in Linkara and Spoony's joint reviews of his [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs bizarre]] and horrible tie-in comic, and occasionally in Spoony's other reviews. Somehow gained a [[Comicbook/GreenLantern Red Lantern]] ring, and is now working for the evil interdimensional god, [[VideoGame/{{Ultima}} the Guardian]].

-->'''Noah''': [[Film/TheRoom Hi doggie!]]

%%* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Arguably French, but who can tell? He's probably from the same country as [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]].

* StalkerShrine: Joked about having a shrine for [[Series/XPlay Morgan Webb]] in his basement in his ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria}}'' review, which apparently contains [[{{Squick}} a dessicated human corpse]].

** In ''VideoGame/Phantasmagoria2'' he takes on the equivalent role of Curtis' rat Blob.

%%* ArchEnemy: HOAK HOGAN! Who is [[TalkingToHimself also portrayed by Spoony]].

%%* PresidentEvil: Inspired by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Edea]] and [[{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]]. His running mate was Fu Manchu. WordOfGod says he was eventually impeached, with an ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' episode revealing it was because of a liaison with a prostitute, who turned out to be an undercover cop.

%%* CoolVersusAwesome: Has gone up against Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Racist GoldenAge {{Superman}}, Giant Franchise/GreenLantern and others.

----

%%** And in his review of Ultima 7, he quotes "In the Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins.[[/folder]]

* AnythingThatMoves: You have to feel sorry for his "guests" on Spooning With Spoony.

* BackFromTheDead: About three times now, leading to [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] joking that he's a Time Lord.

** Every ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' sequel.

* BoisterousBruiser: In the Anniversary Brawl ("Roots, shmoots, baby, we are here to RUMBLE!") and Paw's "Top 9 Moments in Gaming" video ("I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE SOUL!")
* BreakTheHaughty: A series of unfortunate events in 2011 lead to one.
* CausticCritic
* ComicalOverreacting: Happens not too often, just when it would have maximum impact.
* CoolShades: They are an awesome pair.
* CutenessProximity: Gets a minor case of this when he sees a little girl at PAX East at the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Online'' table jumping up and down excitedly, while saying that even though he's outgrown Pokemon someone else is certainly excited about it. D'aww.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DepravedBisexual: A list of the people Spoony has "spooned": [[spoiler: The Nostalgia Chick, That Chick With the Goggles, Benzaie, The Nostalgia Critic, Angry Joe, Bennet the Sage and Lord Kat (As punishment for losing a game of ''VideoGame/RobotUnicornAttack'' against 8-Bit Mickey)]].
** In the beginning of the Donation Drive; [[spoiler: Critic, Sage and Joe are repeats, while Paw, WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, The Other Guy, Ed Glaser, the Last Angry Geek, and article writer Matt Briner are first-timers. Karma finally bites as his ass as they gang up on him for some retribution.]]
* DespairEventHorizon:
** Pumpkinhead was the game that pushed beyond the brink of no return. Also, expect him to cross this every time he watches TNA.
** In particular his 2-9-11 episode of Impact starting when he calls out the Kurt Angle/ Jarett divorce angle (In particular, dragging Angle's children into doing promos for it), which wasn't helped by it immediately following the brain damaged Eric Young wasting everybody's time. Then his responce to the Jeff Jarret Ken Anderson promo.
** Hit this in his v-log on the reboot of ''VideoGame/XCom'' when the press release at E3 describes the RPG elements as "just like ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics''". He seems genuinely shocked and angered by the fact the makers consider it comparable to ''Tactics'', simply because they threw in a few strategic elements by making the game a squad-based shooter.
** The Guardian very nearly pushes him to one, using his reviews of the Ultima series as a morale breaking event to goad him into destroying the earth and joining him.

** In his [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2008/01/05/dragon-strike-board-game-review/ Dragon Strike review]], he talks about how people who played ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' were thought of as weird and violent.

* DistractedByTheSexy:
** In Final Fantasy X review part 1:

** Spoony is ''very'' distracted by the rather prominent breasts of one character in ''[[Film/TheBeastmaster Beastmaster 2]]''.
** From ''Howling 2'':

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be a snarky bastard, but even he thought Officer Walken in ''Terror T.R.A.X.'' was being a bitch by making snippy comments regarding a woman who '''just had her eyes ripped out'''.
** And again in his "Wrestle! Wrestle!" vlog for August 6, 2010, where he expresses absolute disgust at WWE for spending half the show on what is essentially laughing at a woman for being ugly.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Spoony is ''very'' obviously gay for narrator Drew Skye of Series/DeadliestWarrior.
** He also relents that even he thinks the actor who stars in ''Film/TheBeastMaster'' isn't too bad to look at.
* FanHater: Although it's [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2009/02/19/fanboys-are-mine-to-toy-with-old-man/ just part of the Spoony persona]]. [[invoked]]
** "''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' sucks and you suck for liking it!". Eventually revoked.
** " I don't necessarily hate ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''. I just hate the people who like it."
** His ''Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'' review is even more venomous.
** He also shares quite a bit of venom for Creator/JossWhedon worshippers.
** The ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' movies.
** With ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', he goes as far as tell his viewers to hunt down and kill its fans.
** His [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2009/11/17/roast-rebuttal/ Rebuttal to the Forum Roast]] is an example of this, although after he doles out the lashes, he quickly responds with warm thanks to his fans.

** In his commentary for the FFX review, he makes it very clear that this is only a trait of his on-screen character, and in real life he feels nothing of the sort.
* {{Fetish}}: Spoony has a [[HospitalHottie nurse]] one.

** '''Miggity-miggity-miggity-miggity mackdaddy!'''
** Also of note is his written review of ''[[Film/TheManWhoSavesTheWorld Turkish Star Wars]]''. He becomes so perplexed by what he's watching, that his thought process in the review slips further and further into madness. As an end note, he then ''dares'' the readers to watch the film, which he provides a link to.
** His reaction to completing a hard part of the ''Dirty Harry'' videogame, only to find himself back at the start of the level.
-->'''Spoony':''' "I HAVE MY RIGHTS, I HAVE MY RIGHTS!!! IT WAS CALLAHAN, THE BIG ONE, HE DID THIS TO ME!!AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

* HotBlooded
* HairTriggerTemper: Mostly observed during sessions of WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign, where he's quick with the banhammer against the live chat. Mostly he uses it against people who subscribe to the [[ForumSpeak G.I.F.T]], as demonstrated when he [[PapaBear started kicking people]] for [[DudeNotFunny suggesting violence or rape]] on [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Iron Liz]] [[DisproportionateRetribution just because they didn't like her]] [[PungeonMaster puns]].
** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He also kicked someone for referencing TheGame]].
* HeroicBSOD:
** For his AprilFoolsDay Episode, his dislike of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' catalyzes into a hate of the ''entire series'' so much so that [[spoiler: it caused him to become Dr.Insano]], even though he has admitted to actually liking the other games in the series.
** [[Wrestling/{{TNA}} This is wrestling!]] [+'''WRESTLE!!'''+]
** Happens almost literally in his review of ''Film/HighlanderIITheQuickening''. He experiences a Windows fatal error message when he sees the back of the box call it "the smartest sci-fi thriller since ''Film/BladeRunner''." He's also wearing a [[StealthPun "Hero"]] shirt from the Game Heroes.
** It happened again during his review of Night Claws when his hero, Creator/RebBrown, is killed anticlimactically by a neck snap.

* ICallHimMisterHappy: "... [[Wrestling/RicFlair Space Mountain]] is my [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog penis]]."
* ICallItVera: "Spoondalf's" Flame of Arnor.
* {{Jerkass}}: The Spoony character. Let's see; he raped WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]], killed prostitutes because the voices in his head told him to, and declared that, if he ever came across the creators of ''Bloodwings'', that he would stab them in the brain. Essentially, he is the very image of Jerkassery himself.
** Taken above and beyond during his crossover with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan. That said, [[SelfDeprecation she wrote the entire thing.]]

* MadnessMantra:
** "You have failed" from ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge''.
** When words fail him, he utters this: '''[[Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon Deep Wang]]'''.
* PapaWolf: There are multiple examples of this trope.
* PermaStubble: He's often unshaven in his videos. Whether or not he's clean-shaven is sometimes a coin-toss.
* PetTheDog: At the beginning of his ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review, he said [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the soundtrack is "excellent"]], [[SceneryPorn the cutscenes are "striking and memorable"]], and the battle system is "really, really damn good." Of course, he said all of this just before tearing ''X'' a new one.
** At the end of the special, after spending a good four or so hours berating the game, he provides a list of incredibly favorable reviews courtesy of multiple highly credible sources. Of course, whether it's this or an expression of extreme disbelief à la WebVideo/RedLetterMedia is up to you.
** He now has an actual dog to pet.
* PhraseCatcher: "You're in my spot sir." "'''''OH FUCK YOU!'''''". Apparently it's second nature, since he says it accidentally during his review of the live-action ''Tekken''.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: In his E3 videos, concerning the new ''VideoGame/XCom'' game. He is extremely [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks unhappy with the remake]] and its accompanying [[SequelDisplacement risk of replacing his X-COM with the new one in the minds of most gamers]]. His counterpart? ''[[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe]]'', of all people.

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Long enough and loud enough to the point of having a HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath after just ''LOOKING'' at the DVD cover of the Film/WingCommander movie.
** Again in the Nostalgia Critic's review of "The Room", when Spoony interrupts the Critic to tell him that nobody should have to review Highlander 2, only to be told of the actual movie being reviewed.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Mostly while in-character, much like [[Website/ChannelAwesome the rest of his colleagues]].
* {{Smark}}: Spoony fits many aspects of the traditional smark, pickiness, extensive research, knowledge and love of Indy stars, a deeply cynical attitude towards wrestling, RootingForTheEmpire, Spoony is however a lot nicer than the stereotypical Smark and usually has good things to say about almost every wrestler, hell, the man gave Wrestling/JohnCena and Wrestling/HulkHogan props.
** You can tell that while he makes fun of Cena frequently, Spoony does have some modicum of respect for the man, and stated that he's one of the few young guys today that actually seems to care for the business. He's even stated during the Wrestlemania 27 review that Cena does up his game for PPV's, but at the same time shouldn't be depended on to carry a match.
* StalkerShrine: Joked about having one for [[Series/XPlay Morgan Webb]] in his basement in his ''Phantasmagoria'' review, which apparently contains [[{{Squick}} a dessicated human corpse]].

* StupidSexyFlanders: In his New Moon review, he spends a lot of time [[ShirtlessScene describing]] [[MrFanservice Jacob]].
** Used almost literally, though not for being gay: After explaining how finding [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]] attractive is pretty much pedophilia, out pops a picture of an attractive woman/girl [[{{Cosplay}} cosplaying]] in Rikku's {{Stripperiffic}} outfit, [[DistractedByTheSexy throwing his rant off track]] until he snaps back with a "Stupid Sexy Cosplayers".

* UnstoppableRage: ''VideoGame/BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge'' drove him to Nightmare Fueling levels of anger, including a SkywardScream..... which Benzaie heard all the way from France.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Sometimes Spoony's relationship with other members of Channel Awesome can seem this way, especially with Joe. Thankfully this makes for very entertaining viewing.
** In storyline, [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] and Insano. Linkara might be his best friend, but they're both assholes to each other, although Linkara clones Spoony when he dies (but not without programing him to [[CameBackWrong promote Atop the Fourth Wall merch]]). Insano, meanwhile, is one of Linkara's most common foes, a constant thorn in his side, the accidental cause of all the storylines on Atop the Fourth Wall due to playing with hypertime (and occasionally steals Neutro), and Spoony's roommate and science guy, much like Linksano (an AU Insano that looks like Linkara, created because Linkara felt bad always making Spoony do Insano for him) is for Linkara.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The way he talks about Teddie from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' indicates a certain aversion toward UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.
** He also mentions in another review that he doesn't like furries, because they creep him out.
* [[WithFriendsLikeThese With Fans Like These]]: More or less Spoony's relationship with his own viewership.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Including [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]] and a SelfDestructMechanism.
* RobotBuddy
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: At the end of Spoony's review of the ''Anime/TekkenTheMotionPicture'' anime when he notes that [[TemptingFate the recent live action film must be better, surely?]]
* ShoutOut: He's named after Jack Burton from ''Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina'', Spoony's favorite movie. The other two ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' robots that never got built would have been named Sorbo (after actor Kevin Sorbo) and Morgan (after actress Morgan Webb). Also, Burton often gets to take on a role related to Spoony's current review:

** In ''Phantasmagoria2'' he takes on the equivalent role of Curtis' rat Blob.
* TheVoiceless: Except in the first FMV Hell video, in which he is voiced by [[Film/{{Se7en}} John Doe]].
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Unintentional on Noah's part (he just plain wasn't good at putting it on) but it wound up working in context.

* ADayInTheLimelight: As an AprilFoolsDay gag, he took over the show as "The Insano Experiment" on April 1st 2010 to deliver an AlternateCharacterInterpretation review of ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.

* AntiMagic: He has apparently developed two AntiMagic field generators. [[RunningGag The second of which flies, making it gunblade-proof]]!
* AssholeVictim: According to Creator/BradJones' Bibleman ''WebVideo/DVDRHell'' review, he was raped in prison and traumatized so badly he sewed up his backside.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Though played for laughs, Insano does have moments where he's actually able to be a legitimate menace.
** Such as discovering the Anti-Comic Equation (Warrior #1), taking control of WebVideo/{{Neutro}} (the eponymous robotic weapon sought after by dozens of mad scientists in the comic Linkara reviewed), and [[spoiler:hiring Squall to kill Spoony]].
** He's killed thousands with an army of robotic suicide squirrels. (Of course, this might be an InformedAttribute, seeing as his inventions rarely work as planned.)
** He made a [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2011/06/22/the-human-spider-first-sequence/ Human Spider!]]
** But that doesn't even compare with his latest bit of cruelty. He [[spoiler:fixed a Atari Jaguar CD so [[HeroBall Spoony]] could [[FateWorseThanDeath play it]]!]]
* BigBad: Serves as this to TGWTG team as a whole, being the arch enemy of Spoony, Linkara, a recurring foe of the Nostalgia Critic as well as having encounters with Paw and Angry Joe.
* TheCameo: Thanks to his popularity, has appeared in multiple videos, reviews and series.
* CardCarryingVillain: Come on, his name is ''Doctor Insano''! [[{{Lampshading}} "Honestly, what what is it about the name 'Doctor Insano' that eludes you people?!"]]
* CartoonishSupervillainy
* CatchPhrase: "With SCIENCE of course!" Sometimes contracted to just "[[ForScience SCIENCE!]]" as a BattleCry or ChewbaccaDefense.

* DiminishingVillainThreat: He goes back and forth. When introduced, Insano was a hair's breadth away from conquering the world, but was soon reduced to a lonely, pathetic wretch... then he ''murdered'' Spoony, but the next episode came groveling back asking to stay at Spoony's house... then he killed Tidus... and the cycle continues.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Hates that Ferris Bueller is an unmotivated slacker who charms everyone into getting everything he wants. "I may be evil, but at least I'm not full of crap!!"

* EvilGloating
* EvilerThanThou: And "Sciency-er" than thou.
* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler: Attempted to kill Spoony, despite the fact that it basically means killing himself]] in a parody of [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia's]] plot.

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: He claims that they protect him from his patented Neuralizer.
** In his review of ''Film/TheDungeonmaster'', he lists off about a dozen useful functions they have - death rays, telescopic vision, X-ray vision, hypno vision, night vision, flash-bang protection, digital photography of "like a zillion megapixels", contain a terabyte of mp3 space, they open his garage door, work as a universal remote for his TV, and are connected to Facebook and Twitter. (though they are largely [[InformedAbility Informed Abilities]]).
** It seems the only weakness of Dr. Insano's goggles thus far is [[BruceLeeClone a Bruce Lee impersonator]] [[BrainBleach in tiny pink shorts]].
* GoKartingWithBowser: One week, he tries to viciously murder Spoony. The next, he's hanging out on Spoony's couch riffing on kung fu exploitation flicks. Apparently they live together, but Spoony has made Insano promise to stop trying to kill people, "especially me!" A common fan theory, largely inspired by his MultipleChoicePast, is that there are more than one of him; the Insano that acts as an enemy apparently has his own elaborate base, while the friendly one lives in Spoony's house.

** NotSoHarmless: Until he stole Neutro and attacked [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]], however, following his defeat Linkara and Spoony seemed to view it more like a kid acting out than a madman almost destroying them.
* HighCollarOfDoom: Laments that he can't find a labcoat that has one.
* LargeHam: A ham of the cartoonishly villainous kind.
* LaughablyEvil: Arguably the reason his popularity.
* MadArtist: Revealed to be this in the Nostalgia Critic/Obscurus Lupa crossover review of Simon Sez.
** He also wrote ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNimh The Secret of NIMH 2]]''.
* MadDoctor
* '''MadScientist'''

* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He doesn't specialise in Science, so long as it's [[MadScience mad!]]
* PresidentEvil: Inspired by [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Edea]] and [[{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]]. His running mate was Fu Manchu. WordOfGod says he was eventually impeached, with an ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' episode revealing it was because of a liaison with a prostitute, who turned out to be an undercover cop.
-->'''Insano''': ''[giving his inaugural speech]'' I even used my real name! You voted for a guy named ''Dr. Insano".
* PsychoSidekick[=/=]TokenEvilTeammate: He's basically given up on world domination or destroying Spoony and his status as the primary villain has been supplanted by The Guardian and The Gatekeeper. He is now essentially Spoony's tech support and general gopher.
* ScienceIsBad

* WeaksauceWeakness: Being hit with a comic book takes him down pretty easily. Either that or [[SquishyWizard he's just that puny]].

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Implied a few times (see his breakdown at the end of Spoony's Street Fighter 2010 review), but played for laughs.
--> "I am adorable but alone!"

* AnimalReactionShot

* CharacterBlog: Has her own [[https://twitter.com/#!/OreoAntwiler Twitter account]].
* CreatingLife / TrulySingleParent: In the context of the main show's continuity (as opposed to vlogs) she was created from two Oreo cookies and some magic by Simcoe the Magician from ''Skullduggery''.

* FemaleFelineMaleMutt: Inverted with her and her nemesis, Lloyd.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: She did this a lot in Spoony's Counter Monkey vlogs.
** This extended to Funny Offscreen Event - in one vlog, Noah notes that she's having a dream, and wakes her up, which confuses her. In one of the bloopers for Linkara's Mr. T #2, she can be heard chewing on a squeaky toy, which annoys Dr. Insano.
* GenkiGirl: It's no wonder, given her breed combination.
* GoFetch: Already knew this before Spoony adopted her.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: More loyal to Miles than to Spoony, given that she actively sabotaged Spoony's putting while leaving Miles' alone.
* MotorMouth: How Noah articulated her thought processes on Twitter before adopting a WebOriginal/LOLCats style.

** Which is exactly what Lloyd does to [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Brad Jones]] in his vlogs, which also means that Oreo also enacts the trope herself.
* PreciousPuppy
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In the new animated opening as of the "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" review.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
* SitcomArchnemesis: Creator/BradJones' cat, Lloyd, who once [[HostileShowTakeover hacked her Twitter]].
* SleepCute: [[http://yfrog.com/nwl0paj Spoony took a picture.]]
* StunnedSilence / QuizzicalTilt: She developed a rather adorable "WTF" face whenever Spoony's doing something that looks ridiculous.

* CatchPhrase: "I'm the God-Damned Avatar!"
* DudeWheresMyRespect: "I know Humility is one of the eight Virtues, but I'm the God-Damned Avatar!"
-->'''Avatar!Spoony:''' I am the central figure of your religion, I should be the most recognizable motherfucker of this planet!
* MessianicArchetype: He ''is'' the ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}'' series Christ figure. Though, it doesn't stop him from a being a foul mouthed, lazy, womanizing jackass sometimes, as seen in ''The Serpent's Isle''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Accidentally ignited a moat full of flammable tar in the ''Beastmaster'' review.
-->'''Avatar!Spoony:''' (as the gargoyle home is being destroyed by his own actions) ''I am not the false prophet!''
* ShoutOut: [[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder I'm the God-Damned Avatar!]]

* AmbiguouslyGay

* BlackKnight: Duh.
* EvilIsPetty: Yes it is. He kidnaps town mayors because he was bored and had his trolls, err.. {{Troll}} Spoony online.

* PokeThePoodle: When he said he wanted to annoy Spoony he meant it.
* {{Troll}}: Pretty much.
** He also controls an army of actual trolls and orders them to troll the Avatar on Twitter.

* DiabolusExNihilo: Literally comes out of nowhere to scare the shit out of us, and Spoony.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1BrVVFaF-Q Meat Circus]]" from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''.
* MonsterClown

* ShoutOut: "[[Film/TheDarkKnight Why so serious, Spoony?]]"
* StrawFan

* EvilSoundsDeep
* GodOfEvil

* [[spoiler: WeCanRuleTogether: Turns out he wasn't interested in conquering Earth, he had the blackrock gate built to try and get Spoony to go through it and leave the planet so they work together to conquer worlds, he even says the planet was doomed anyways.]]

* CurbStompBattle: Suffers an adorable one at the paws of Oreo.
** In the wrestling VHS game, he delivers one to Spoony with a folding chair to his back.

* CruelMercy: [[spoiler:Saves Spoony's life... only to provide him with a new ''Final Fantasy'' game.]]
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler: Unlike other intruders, Spoony doesn't even attempt to fight him.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Has appeared to be one so far, his actions are not played for laughs. [[spoiler: The Guardian knowing about his plans was apparently enough to cause him to have no interest in conquering Earth because he felt the world was doomed anyways.]]

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Impales Yuna just as he did Aerith.]]
* VillainousRescue

* ManipulativeEditing: The source of his "magic", just as in the film.

* TheReveal: Turns out to be [[spoiler:The Headless]]

* BoisterousBruiser
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Remember all those jokes Spoony made about Snow being an idiot? You won't be laughing so much once you see what Snow does to him.

* FakeUltimateHero

* JerkJock

* [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents Surfer Dude]]

* UnwittingPawn: Was told by persons unknown that Spoony was planning to destroy the world.
* VerbalTic: 'Bro'.

* {{BFS}}: The Gunblade, which can actually shoot stuff outside the game.

* HeroicMime: Still. Lampshaded by Insano.
--> "Why did I give a walkie-talkie to a guy who speaks in text boxes?"

* BreakoutCharacter: He began as a minor character in one review, went on to appear in a few others, and became one of the main villains for the Nostalgia Critic's GrandFinale where he acted as his ArchEnemy (if a [[UnknownRival one-sided]] one)
* {{Camp}}
* CatchPhrase: "While you were still learning to ''spell'' your ''naaaaame...!''"
* CloningBlues: After dying in his first appearance, he was cloned back to life for his second. [[spoiler: Given his fate in WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee, his next appearance in [[WebVideo/TheAngryJoeShow Angry Joe's]] review of X-Com 2012 is presumably one of these.]]

* AGodAmI: His "ability" to instinctively know the height above sea level of different locations makes him one, in his opinion.
* LargeHam: Spoony manages to out-ham Creator/JohnTravolta.
* NobleWomansLaugh: possibly deliberately invoked.
* {{Portmanteau}}: The cloned Terl calls himself a "Psychlone", which only confuses Spoony as he hears it as 'cyclone'.

* SmallNameBigEgo / MilesGloriosus: He makes out that he and all other Psychlos are an advanced alien race...until the Critic gets him to admit to his {{Fartillery}} strategy.
* StylisticSuck: Mocking ''Film/BattlefieldEarth''`s use of a tilted camera, Terl is always filmed on an absurd tilt as well.

The main character from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX''. [[spoiler:Was brought back from the dead to fight Spoony.]]

* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler: As with Squall, though he was sent by an outside force he attacks Spoony because of the review.]]
* HumiliationConga:[[spoiler: Was shot, trampled on and is now being disected by Doctor Insano.]]
* SmallNameBigEgo

* DisproportionateRetribution: Averted. Spoony ''initially'' thinks she's coming after him for giving her game a (mildly) bad review as the other two did, but quickly realizes the fact that he murdered her boyfriend might have something to do with it.
* FanDisservice: It's Spoony with fake breasts and makeup.

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:By Sephiroth]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ditches her guns for a microphone.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Attacks Spoony for what he did to Tidus in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' review.

* [[BackFromTheDead Back from being Merged With His Clone]]: Made a cameo on [[WebVideo/SadPandaQAndA Panda Q&A]], despite it being after he merged with the clone. [[BlatantLies And that was the only nonsensical thing that occurred in the history of Panda Q&A]].

* HostileShowTakeover: [[spoiler:Attempted but ultimately failed, by fusing him and the clone back together.]]

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Falls under Type R--Revenant.
* TheUndead

* TheMoralSubstitute: He reviews these positively, as he praises the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' video game.

* DimensionLord: As the keeper of the '''blagole'''.
* {{Nephewism}}
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Arguably French, but who can tell? He's probably from the same country as [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]].

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Is introduced in this style.

* CoolVersusAwesome: Has gone up against Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Racist GoldenAge {{Superman}}, Giant Franchise/GreenLantern...
* MusicalAssassin
* TheVoiceless

* EvilCounterpart: Cited as Insano's equivalent of Spoony's Burton in the ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' review. (Though Neutro is just a mindless machine.)
* HumongousMecha
* HypocriticalHumour: When Spoony is ranting about how he hates characters with spiral eyes and giant robots from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', Insano drops in to ask him if he remembers where he parked Neutro. [[spoiler: We find out later that Linkara stole Neutro as a contingency plan to battle Mechakara]]
* PeopleInRubberSuits: His latest appearance, with Iron Liz in the suit. Previously he was represented by a 2D animation effect.
* SequelDifficultySpike: Inverted, "Neutro 2.0" from the ''Blackest Night'' crossover review goes down easily.

* CatchPhrase: STOP RESISTING!

* ImagineSpot: He beats up Insano in one.

* PoliceBrutality: Natch.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:Granted it was Tidus, but it was still pretty awesome seeing him knock someone out.]]
* GeniusBonus: Even though Son of Insano being made out of Insano's spooge might just seem like a gross-out joke, it's actually a rather clever reference to the concept of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homunculus homunculus]], which were thought to either being beings inhabiting sperm cells or an ArtificialHuman created out of human sperm. [[invoked]]
* {{Keet}}
* MoralityPet: To [[MadScientist his dad.]]
* PetTheDog: Ostensibly serves this purpose for Insano.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter

* AndShowItToYou: Got his heart ripped out by Black Lantern Spoony.
* CaptainErsatz
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's somehow even less lucid than Chester.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath
* KilledOffForReal
* TalkativeLoon

* ArchEnemy: HOAK HOGAN! Who is [[TalkingToHimself also portrayed by Spoony]].

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He is completely bonkers.

* HavingAGayOldTime[=/=]InnocentInnuendo: His use of the word "foke" (supposed to be a TotallyRadical way of saying "focus", but sounds like something quite different).
* NoIndoorVoice
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: "SKRONK!"
* TalkativeLoon
* UnstoppableRage: The source of the Red Lantern Ring's power.
* VerbalTic: Ends random sentences with ''"HOAK HOGAN!"'', HOAK HOGAN!
* WaxingLyrical: "IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER, YOU'VE GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIENDS! MAKE IT LAST FOREVER, FRIENDSHIP NEVER ENDS, HOKE HOGAN!"
** And in his review of Ultima 7, he quotes "In the Air Tonight" by Music/PhilCollins.[[/folder]]

* FairCop: He's an actual police officer.
* {{Foil}}: Unintentionally makes a perfect foil to his brother--both are snarky and have no problem pointing out flaws in a show or movie. However, whereas Noah is HotBlooded and prone to {{Angrish}}-filled rants, Miles is almost always a deadpan straight man. They highlight each other remarkably well.

* PrettyBoy: It is said.
* PutOnABus: Inverted, his disappearance from the show and vlogs was because Spoony got on the bus and moved to Illinois while Miles stayed in Arizona
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Spoony's red.
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: His arguement with Spoony during Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan vlog over a minor plot point. In the moments where he raises his voice, he actually sounds a lot like Spoony.
* SiblingYinYang

* DoubleEntendre: Everything she tweets.
* FieryRedhead
* NerdsAreSexy
* StatuesqueStunner: She's apparently around six foot.

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Her day job is making and selling steampunk jewelery online.

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: [[http://spoonyexperiment.com/2010/11/06/vlog-11-6-10-health-update-more-dd-unboxing/ Apparently]] he used to be one.
** He still is. Just an adult version; his health from around 2015 on has been poor enough to force him into functional retirement.

* NiceHat: Which Noah points out is actually way too small for his head.

** His commentary on TNA Impact pretty much pushes the insan-o meter UpToEleven

* NerdsAreSexy
* PerkyGoth

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dyes her hair regularly.

* ActionGirl
* CrosscastRole

* FanNickname: "Spuna"
* GunsAkimbo
