Akriloth2160 is a British-born
Small Name, Big Ego Youtuber, video editor, film-fanatic, and part time troper. After having been introduced to
TV Tropes by a friend, he continues to provide helpful edits to TV Tropes and, when the need arises, put up articles for cult PC games such as
Space Rangers,
War Front Turning Point and
Crazy Machines in the hopes that one day, they will find new audiences to thrive on.
His
YouTube channel can be found

He is also working on
Nebula, a Steampunk fantasy sci-fi novel, and the first few chapters can be read on
his deviantart account.
This troper's YouTube series provides examples of:
- Berserk Button: Has stated several times on his youtube page that he has ZERO tolerance for any criticism outside of constructive criticism. His tendency to vent his rage on anyone nit-picking on the most arbitrary of flaws in his works, or those who insult him without giving a reason. You know the sort of people...
- Butt Monkey: Poor, poor Radar Overseer Scotty.
- Cluster F-Bomb: In "Robot F**k", a Stupid Statement Dance Mix of a certain scene from The King's Speech set to "Robot Rock". The number of F-bombs stands at around 152. "Fuck The World" by Insane Clown Posse stood at only 93.
- Cool Shades: Of the large, rose-tinted Raoul Duke variety.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: A number of cover versions of songs made using eJAy 7 have been hosted on the channel, such as Axel F or The AVGN theme, as well as a few original compositions such as Hard Shoulder or NRS.
- Did Not Do the Research: In Ride The Lightning: Misheard Lyrics, a lot of people complained about how he used Tim Burton instead of Metallica's lead singer, Cliff Burton, during the phrase, "Burton in my grain". Akriloth has justified this by stating repeatedly that he made the video before he started listening seriously listening to Metallica.
- Dramatic Reading: Done to the So Bad, It's Good badfic, TheHuemnCeniped2TheHumenMilipede, and has planned to do more of Sue Mary's badfics.
- Drinking Game: Firstly for the number of occurrences of "It's nothing like the manga" in his Dragonball Evolution rant, and secondly for each time he replaces a swear word with the name of a comic book character. The incredibly lame visual pun-o-meter from his moderator box commercial probably counts as well.
- Executive Meddling: A number of his videos have fallen victim to matched third party content on YouTube, although any which have been blocked or had their audio removed have been defended with Fair Use.
- Grammar Nazi: One of many reasons why he rarely uses instant messaging programs.
- Memetic Mutation: Radar Overseer Scotty (Also known as American Male #1, or ''The Voice of Strawberry Clock) has undergone a bit of memetic mutation, to the point where one viewer declared the character killed off in his own Text-to-speech series on the text-to-speech wiki. From what Akriloth said in the comments for editing the article back, he was less than happy.
- A gag he sent off to fellow youtuber Thunderbirds101, Highway Cookies has become a tiny bit popular as well.
- Neo Classical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: He is notable for being one of those musicians who listens to numerous genres during different moods, although his actual performances tend towards jazz music.
- Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer released for The Epic War 6 promised that Akriloth2160 would be appearing in the episode. This became the reason behind the episode's infamously protracted development time, so it was eventually scrapped to bring out the episode.
- Nice Hat: A black trilby hat. Totally not trying to be like Taco Ninja. This Suspiciously Specific Denial is actually true, it was actually Yahtzee who inspired it.
- Rape as Comedy: Heavy Plays I-Spy: Alternate Ending
- Relax-o-Vision: See Rape as Comedy example.
- Self-Deprecation: See the examples for The Woobie, Small Name, Big Ego, and possibly Yandere? They don't exactly seem like the best way to show off one's personality. Well, how much would you believe me if I told you that this entire article was created by the very troper it's describing?
- Shameless Self Promoter: The creaton of his Nebula page is starting to make him feel like one. He apologises if there is any concern.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Counts as this due to treating his rather small audience as a large audience. Justified in that he plays less for popularity and more on actual quality.
- Synthetic Voice Actor: Either with Speakonia or the experimental AT&T voices
- Take That: So many:
- Unusual Euphemism: When going through the numerous repetitive hate comments on his Ride The Lightning video, he replaced every swear word with the name of a random comic book character, and even made it into a drinking game.
- Voice of the Legion: As is the case with many youtubers which are in possession of a copy of Audacity. The difference is that he was cruel enough to give this effect to the infamous surreal Japanese Potato Chip Commercial.
- The Woobie: The frequency of Akriloth's pining over not having had a female romantic partner for the best part of four years can be taken as a drinking game into itself, particularly during play rehearsals where he plays a part with a character where the exposition says he entered a romantic relationship.
- Yandere: The bizarre use of eye-shadow in the music video for Perfect by Mason and Princess Superstar has resulted in Akriloth developing a bit of a Yandere fetish. Upon viewing the video again, even he has no idea about how the hell this started.
- Youtube Poop: Has created a fair number of these, and the disappearance of the signs of immature humour over time really shows when his older CD-i Zelda Poops are held alongside his Ashens Poops.
