Lily Peet is a Youtube producer and comedian/critic specializing in animation and television, but her major focus surrounds
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Her primary works are a riff show titled
''In A Minute''
and a more general pundit/opinion show titled
''Glass of Water.''Lily's Work Contains Elements Of
- Ascended Extra: Billy.
- Ass Kicks You: Gets knocked off-screen by Firebrand's backside in "Taking Shining Armor and Cadance Too Seriously ft. Silver Quill".
- Bias Steamroller
- Fluttershy episodes centered around her anxiety with crowds are likely going to find their way to her "Worst Episodes" lists.
- Video Games (or any media in general) where female characters are dressed for fanservice while serving some form of combat role will always be heavily criticized for this.
- Glass of Water - Tropes vs Orchard Blossom visually depicted the trope as needing to die a painful death.
- Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters is a trope that Lily is notoriously biased against.
- Japanese Animation in general.
- Complaining about Complaining: Glass of Water - Theory Weary
- Deadpan Snarker
- Double Entendre: In Date Night: Don't Starve Together, Lily spends about a minute joyously celebrating finding meat. The on-screen edits lampshade this, with the third saying, "IT'S A DICK JOKE!"
- Expy
- Hypocritical Humor: Subverted at the start of one her videos where Billy wants to get a Barbie doll for Christmas. She starts to tell him no due to it being a girls' toy, realizes what's she saying and says yes.
- She later stated in a livestream that this was based on an actual conversation between her and her nephew.
- I Hate Past Me: Lily has a great amount of disdain for the kind of person she was before the "Down With Molestia" incident.
- Jerkass Realization: See this post.
- Large Ham: Lily's arrogance is admittedly this in spades.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: Lily's web persona is a smug, lecturing narcissist that camps somewhere between Jim Sterling and Red Foreman. In an unscripted setting, such as 3AM Rambles and Date Night, she comes off as an extremely sentimental goofball.
- Motor Mouth
- My Greatest Failure: To this day, Lily is still ashamed of herself for making two different Rather Vocalized Illusion videos filled with anti-feminist rhetoric that is extremely similar to anti-feminist rhetoric used today, without knowing anything about feminism beyond scare-mongering she'd seen from news pundits.
- Pipe Pain: Hits Silver Quill over the head with a lead pipe in "Taking Shining Armor and Cadance Too Seriously ft. Silver Quill".
- Promoted Fangirl: Lizzy Orchard went from unnoticed fan, to artist, to content contributor and then later, to girlfriend.
- Rage Breaking Point: Glass of Water - Self Destruction is probably the first time in the series that Lily has been genuinely angry and insulted by something in an episode of Friendship is Magic.
- Running Gag
- In A Minute frequently dubs over musical numbers with The Annoying Song
- Any time a question she has is not even brought up in the episode, she says "Answer me, goddammit!"
- Glass of Water always ended with the phrase "I'm Lily, and I need a glass of water."
- As of the recent visual overhaul, this phrase has been retired. Lily has now taken to drinking water during the show.
- Ship Tease
- Lily's affectionate manner toward Nintendogal leads to this.
- Lily's line "I love you too Josh... all of the homo" in her collab with Josh Scorcher led to this as well.
- Lily's gushing over Adagio Dazzle has led to a metric ton of this.
- Lily once off-handedly stated that Mad Munchkin was one of her favorite Youtubers. You can probably see where this is going...
- The Date Night series has tons of played for laughs and lampshaded examples between Lily and Lizzy (who does the art for Lily's human puppet).
- Shipper on Deck: Claims to have started the ship of Firebrand and Ink Rose, and very clearly ships them.
- Miss Swears A Lot: Has quite the colorful vocabulary, both when following a script or casually talking.
- Smug Snake: Glass of Water contains much of Lily's signature arrogance.
- The recent update that added a typical MLP Analysis Puppet seems to have reflected this.
- Straw Critic: Lampshaded and used non-ironically in her Glass of Water videos where a drawing of a scarecrow made out of literally straw named Strawman shows up to "counter" Lily's points only for Lily to rebuttal them.
- All Glass of Water videos in 2016 use Billy for the same purpose.
