History LetsPlay / TearOfGrace

''Brett Tear'', also known as [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TearofGrace Tear of Grace]] is a British Website/YouTube gamer who specializes in heavily edited video game [[LetsPlay playthroughs]] and montages. He started his channel back in 2011 and has since evolved from doing simple ''VideoGame/{{Halo Reach}}'', ''VideoGame/Halo4'' and ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' {{troll}}ing videos to increasingly more edited playthroughs and montages of games such as ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'', ''VideoGame/DarkSouls2'', ''VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor'', ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'', ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' (''Rebirth'' and all of its DLC), ''VideoGame/DarkSouls3'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', and more.

Tear also supports various other smaller Website/{{YouTube}}rs who he enjoys watching and frequently promotes them at the end of his videos.

-->'''Tear''': Caressing Tears? You know, if you're the person that spells my name wrong all the God damn time, I'm thinking you're beginning to come on to me!

-->'''Tear''': I'm a genius! [finds an eternal heart inside] I'm a God!

-->'''Tear''': FUCKING JIZZ-HAND-MA-JIZZ-SHIT!

-->'''Tear''': Now it's a maze...turned platformer [falls to his death]. No, [[ClusterFBomb God damn it, shit, bitch, motherfuck!]]

** Prâk Jaws, affectionately dubbed "[[{{ComicBook/Bane}} Bane]]" due to his iron mask, was a recurring Uruk captain berserker who could [[TheUnintelligible only scream and grunt]] and whose only purpose in life seemed to be to hunt down Tear, humiliate him in combat by not finishing him off and leaving while [[GigglingVillain giggling at him]], and then appearing again when he least expected it. Even worse, [[ImplacableMan he apparently could not stay dead]].

** He first started to add background music in February 2013 with a video titled "How to: Win Website/Youtube & Get all the Monies".

-->'''Tear''': Oh, did you let him get a hit in? What's the matter with you, you are disgracing my name. Never mind, he killed him...ohh, a spider!

-->And in Lara's search for a tomb to raid
-->She has found herself in need of medical aid
-->On the northwest border of Syria is where you'll see ha'
-->And in the middle of the desert is where she'll be a'
-->And...oh there's a fucking eagle!

-->'''Tear''': I didn't realize I had no focus! God sake do I hate poison, [[GoshdangItToHeck piece of God damn dookie butt]]...that's a nice moon.

-->'''Tear''': "And the heavens have opened and God reached down into my life and said upon me 'Rek thigh scrubs an fk ther sht ahp'".

-->'''Tear''': I've got a name for ya, bitch: Sir Deaded of House Rekt. ''Git gud'', '''SCRUB'''!

-->'''Tear''': [[CatchPhrase Right then, ladies and gentleman, welcome back to Afterbirth]], here I am doing what the fuck I want, playing some fun seeds for fun, and if you have a problem with that, I have two words for you...I'm sorry.

-->'''Tear''': I've suddenly realized I probably shouldn't refer to myself as a silly little boy when in the company of many a priest. You know what they like to do to little boys...teach them good manners and bring them up right.

-->'''Tear''': If you throw one more spear...in my fucking head, '''you know what I'm gonna do'''?...I'm gonna turn you on my side and just brainwash you just to really fuck you over.
* [[BareFistedMonk Bare Fisted Brit]]: His ''Dark Souls 2'' [[SelfImposedChallenge NG+10 bare fists challenge]] series.
* BattleThemeMusic: He almost always uses Hard Rock, Metal or Heavy Metal music tracks for his battle videos, especially for the bosses and [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] opponents in ''Dark Souls'' and the Uruk captains in ''Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor'' and ''Shadow of War''.

** In Shadow of Mordor, he groused at the start of one episode that he hopes he finds some Uruks of worth in the area. [[GoneHorriblyRight Said episode was the debut of]] [[ArchEnemy Prak "Bane" Jaws.]]

-->'''Tear:''' ''(after Bumbo steals some coins)'' -Why do I ever take you? All you do is take the piss!?!

-->'''Dave''': Fuckin' arm's killing me...
-->'''Tear''': '''WHAT.'''
* BlackComedy: Tear will usually crack jokes and make puns about pretty much anything.
* BlackComedyRape: Usually intertwines with InThatOrder jokes.

-->'''Tear''': Looks like the Four Kings can now be for-gotten!

-->'''Tear''': Looks like the Undead just became a Re-dead!

-->'''Tear''': Thanks to my intervention, Seath the Scaleless became Seath the Lifeless!

-->'''Tear''': This is the part where I say something clever, right, and say "Oh man, the something something became the something something"...well [[UnstoppableRage the stupid annoying fucking cunt became a dead stupid annoying fucking cunt! Fuck off!]]

* BornLucky: "Oscar", the crusader-class character in his team in ''Darkest Dungeon''.

* TheCameo: Tear's channel logo made a cameo appearance in the WebAnimation/EddsWorld episode [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ux0ERfzDSU The End (Part 1)]], in a scene where a character was looking at a Website/YouTube video. His channel description read: [[VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac The Binding of Indie]], [[CatchPhrase Send Help]].

-->'''Tear''': Seriously, it's so simple to just have fun with it by doing wheelies and trying to break part of your cock off...well that's something I've just said.

-->'''Tear''': Just let me heal, cuz' I'm, I'm assuming purple jizz is coming my way...I just said that.

-->'''Tear''': Can you imagine how much damage that would have done if I weren't being a tryhard prick? I mean, this is the funny thing, me doing what I'm doing isn't the worst thing. It's pretty bad, it's like number two on the list, but that weapon does so much damage it should be replacing nukilar weapons. Why did I say nukilar? Nu-clear. [[EpicFail Fucking English. There is no "U" in "nUclear"...I just heard what I've just said]].

-->'''Tear''': They have the reaction time of a God damn mushy spud, where's the threat, where's the danger, Lara Croft could be flicking a [[WrittenSoundEffect (bleep bleep)]] in the middle of the snow, she'd be in no danger!

-->'''Tear''': Just '''fucking fucking fucker you FUCK'''!

-->'''Tear''': I'm done, you can fuck off, I'm pissed off so you can be pissed off, I didn't beat him, see you next time for a part three, fuck you, fuck this, ''fuck''...

-->'''Tear''': Thank fuck for that! FUCK YOU! FUCK FUCKING YOU!...''GOD!'' '''FUCK YOU!!!'''

-->'''Tear''': I have come to the conclusion that I cannot be absolutely fucking fucked to fucking deal with that fucker's first fucking phase so...I'm gonna use a much powerful torch to get to the challenging bit.

* ContagiousLaughter: Just...[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odwxqa4jSss&t=6m11s listen to it]].

-->'''Tear''': You should know by the way that this thing is like four levels higher than me and I'm actually dealing damage to it, and it's still dealing damage to me, you see this is why you don't use level one equipment when you're fighting something that's level God damn ten.

-->'''Tear''': Where the hell did a quarter of my home go? I put down a water purifier and the next thing you know I'm missing a bit of my life. Okay, um...is this the price I pay for wanting to drink?

-->'''Tear''': Now all I need to do is [looks around] wonder...where my...cooking station and water thing went. What the fuck happened to those? They were right here, I was cooking a fish, I was boiling water. What the...uh, alright then, fine, I'll build more, it's not as if I've just been robbed...in the middle of fucking nowhere. [[RageAgainstTheHeavens HELLO GOD, I'D LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT!]]

-->'''Tear''': Okay, good luck to you—(Phase 1 Hush dies immediately) did he even have a frame of life? Did he even have a frame—? (Phase 2 Hush dies in one hit, accompanied by a gunshot) OH MY GOD, HE DIED INSTANTLY! I HAVE NEVER, EVER, SEEN THAT HAPPEN! I'VE SEEN HIM MELT! I'VE SEEN HIM CHUNK! I HAVE NOT SEEN THE HEALTH BAR JUST DECIDE TO NOT TO TURN UP TO WORK TODAY! [[PrecisionFStrike HOLY SHIT!]]

[Tear kills the Super Mutant]\\

-->'''Tear''': I don't want to break the illusion, but I'm having a really fucking hard time playing this after switching between Unity. The counter button is something completely different, [[InterfaceScrew I keep pressing fucking B]].

-->'''Tear''': It is so awkward healing these days, after playing ''Bloodborne''. In ''Bloodborne'', you press it, you're done. In this game, you got to get into a fucking queue to heal!

-->'''Tear''': You are the worst guard dog since [[{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}} Snoopy]] on drugs...I just said Snoopy on drugs...that's something I've just said out loud.

-->'''Tear''': Oh rats, which look kind of cute when they stand up like that. [[YouDirtyRat I just said that out loud, a rat looked cute]], ''in this game''.

-->'''Tear''': For anyone that wants to use this seed themselves "freel?" free to, you know, let me know how stupid I was by re-rolling that a few times and pointing out what an awful mistake it was for me taking this, feel free.

-->'''Tear''': It's cobwebs, it's dark, it's scary, any second something's going to pop out and she's going to shriek a bit...oh no the tension is rising, the light has died. [the cutscene camera then pans to a skeleton] [[NightmareRetardant There it iiiiis]].

-->'''Tear''': Did you just cough on me? Alright, no, I've had enough of him already, this is bullshit! [Tear then pulls out a shotgun and headshots him]

* [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep His Name Really Is Tear]]: Brett Tear, that is.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Invokes this while mentioning his unfamiliarity with ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNAyM1tq86w Rogue Legacy]]'':
-->'''Tear''': I think it's safe to say that I'm going to be my worst enemy by the end of this.

-->'''Tear''': I think the biggest battle is going to be with my brain, ''trying to get it to fucking work''!

-->'''Tear''': If my character model is making contact with your character model, how in the blue fucking dickens does my weapon not make contact with you? Makes no sense. If my arms and legs, which are holding my weapons can touch your fucking leg, why doesn't the weapon that I'm swing at it hit it?

-->'''Tear''': This is just depressing, your children won't defend you because I'm wielding a flame. Dear bloody me, I think it' safe to say they're bloody fickle, aren't they? I guess you could also say that their love and care for you kind of burned out. Either that, or when it comes to defending their own God damn family, that they aren't all too bright. And I guess with all the rage you've been showing, that it's safe to say your children's lack of shit giving for your life has certainly got you fired up!

-->'''Tear''': You know, I've got my own personal theory why this silly woman is without a head. I think it might be because she fell in love with a man and lost her God damn mind, and because he was a cruel piece of shit, he said "you know if you cut your head off, you'll be immortal and live forever", and as I'm about to kill her, that makes it a bold faced lie, so you could say he Ana"CONNED"her. Terribly proud of myself on that one, terribly proud. And you could also say that she did that in order to get ahead in life. And when it came to the women's baseball team, she didn't quite make the cut.

-->'''Tear''': It's fucking [[SomethingPerson Burger Man]] running around. I've seen Pepsi Man, I've seen fucking Burger Man. What the hell? You know, they should make a God damn anime about that man, about how he's got beef with everyone...and I'm going to kill myself. I'm not sorry though. You can give him a saucy relationship and you can have him relish his victories.

* HypocriticalHumor: The entire fight with Petrus in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpaG0f40lcY#t=8m26s Dark Souls]]'', where Tear calls him a son of a bitch for repeatedly healing yet right after that, he also heals as well:
-->'''Tear''': Oh you son of a bitch, you healed. You son of a bitch, nobody said you could do that! No one. Now can you give me a moment to heal.
** Another, much grander and absolutely golden example comes up in his Shadow of War playthrough. Throughout the game, whenever he encountered the Nazgul, he bemoaned the fact that he couldn't simply join forces with the Nazgul, claiming he'd be much more fond of that than the (human) idiots he has to put up with for the sake of plot. When Talion finally does so after having been abandoned by Celebrimbor, taking one of the Nine Rings for himself, Brett angrily calls him an insane idiot. Minutes later, when he has to fight the Witchking once more, he's back at wanting to join forces.

* InJoke: Wood Burns.

* IntentionallyAwkwardTitle: When his video titles don't contain [[EpunymousTitle some sort of pun]], they are usually quote awkward (E.g: "[[VideoGame/{{Submerged}} Submerged]] - LIFE IS BETTER DOWN WHERE IT'S WETTER").
* InterfaceSpoiler: In ''DarkSouls2'', he's not fooled by an NPC disguising as a friendly unit that's actually hostile.

-->'''Hoshû''': With you sweetness, the fun never ends!
-->'''Tear''': Everything in this game wants to kill, love and fuck me, specifically in that order!

-->'''Tear''': I really need to find an animal that's big, kill it, fuck it, then eat it, maybe not specifically in that order. Cuz' you know, I prefer a hot date!

* KilledMidSentence: Due to his MotorMouth commentary style, this happens surprisingly often.

-->'''Tear''': Fuck a...[he gets killed]...an exceptionally attractive woman with protection to avoid infection.

-->'''Tear''': And just like that, I can fake getting a good item.

-->'''Tear''': Editor, only use the last half of that.

-->'''Tear''': Hey, mister man, I think, I think there's a God up there and he's looking down on you and...[[LastSecondWordSwap he's calling you a greedy son of a bitch that can go burn in hell!]]

* MotorMouth: Part of his charm.

-->'''Tear''': Suddenly my eyes are working and I'm seeing Strained Man [=McFuck=] Shit!

-->'''Tear''': And here we see the Beefalo in his natural environment, screaming, happy, ever present, loving life, enjoying the day to day and walking towards me and he's about to eat my face.

-->'''Tear''' And here we see a Slig in it's natural environment, trying to coerce with another of its kind.

-->'''Tear''': [[GenreSavvy And here we see an idiot in his native environment]], checking the corpse of another man in the middle of a ZombieApocalypse, and if we quieten down and pay close attention, we can actually hear the moment the Universe realigns the clever-dumb balance...and there it is!
* NerdGlasses: According to his twitter face reveal.

* TheNicknamer: He had the tendency to do this with the Uruk captains in ''Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor''. Prâk Jaws was nicknamed "[[{{ComicBook/Bane}} Bane]]" due to his muzzle, "Hoshû the Blue" was named "[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog]]", "Narûg the Poisoner" was named "[[Series/GameOfThrones The Viper]]", etc.
* NightmareFuel: InUniverse and referenced during Tear's fight with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6va39rXTNk#t=11m49s Chaos Witch Queelag]] in ''Dark Souls'':
-->'''Tear''': That terrified me? Forgot she did that, just started shitting lava out of her every single orifice, that's nightmare fuel!

-->'''Tear''': [[BodyHorror She doesn't even have any features rendered.]] She's just a pale blob. [[FacialHorror What is her face?]] That is nightmare fuel!

-->'''Tear''': Uh? Yeah, nightmare fuel as you do, just possess a toad and become the toad, I mean is this okay with...

-->'''Tear''': Oh my God, that's a lot of damage...Nito, my boy, MY LAD...[[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud I just said that out loud]].

-->'''Tear''': Did you just...you just made me bleed, and I'm not talking about it in a sexual manner either.
-->[after the introduction, he gets hit again]
-->'''Tear''': Can you please stop making me bleed...I need to stop fucking saying that out loud!

-->'''Tear''': He's not the boss, she is. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck You're kidding, right?]]

-->'''Tear''': Are you? [[spoiler: ''*Freide revives*'']] [[OhCrap Oh.]] YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe!

-->'''Tear:''' ''*As the boss raises his sword to the sky and stands there*'' Wh-what are you doin'? ''*Backstabs boss and chuckles*'' Letting me backstab you? ''*Second health bar appears*'' Oh no! No! No! No!! No!! ''*Second boss emerges*'' NO!!! NOT THAT FUCKING THING!!!

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Tear started his Website/YouTube career with a video where he put on a FakeAmerican accent, however it was very obvious that he had problems holding it.

-->'''Tear''': Do you find yourself getting frustrated more often than not, are you infuriated, enraged, angry all the time? Then come on down to Angry Atticus' Anger Management where you have a chance of actually, finally cooling off.

-->'''Tear''': [[RapidFireNo No, no, no, it's happening again, it's happening again, no, no, no, no]], [[Music/LinkinPark I've tried so hard and came so far, in the end it doesn't even matter]], I'm gonna fucking put a gun to my head and pull the trigger.

-->'''Tear''': And it was on that day that dear Johnny Trenchcoat discovered that he was in-fucking-vincible.

-->'''Tear''': When you arrive in hell, tell Satan Jello!

-->'''Tear''': The light is green, the traffic's gone and now you're fucking dead!

-->'''Tear''': Now remember, life is best lived with the ones that you love, and you're caressing the metal so prepare to go back to what you once were!

-->'''Tear''': [[DoubleEntendre Prepare your diddly-hole, it's about to get invaded!]]

-->Don't kill me...thank you Bow
-->Why did the fire go-o out
-->And I'm wondering what the fuck I did different that time
-->Don't really care but that did rhyme

-->Uruks and Caragors and big ol' great bastards
-->Spear throwers, dickheads and great big ol' gobshits
-->These are a few of my favorite things
-->Gotta love all of the pain that they bringz!

-->[[Music/GioachinoRossini I'm sick of this, sick of this, sick of this, this, this\\

-->[[Music/MenAtWork You can dance if you want to\\

-->Used the same word twice to rhyme, I am poe-trickle lyrical Hitlar.

** ''[[ArchEnemy Bane]]'' has sort of became this after finally getting defeated in ''Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor''. Any Uruk captain that started following Tear around after that was jokingly referred to as ''Bane's'' Main/{{reincarnation}}. The Haunt in ''The Binding of Isaac'' has also been called a ''Bane'' reincarnation due to the sheer frequency of his appearances.

-->'''Tear''': Oh I'm dead, aren't I? Oh I'm dead. No I'm not. [dies]

-->'''Tear''': [[RapidFireNo No no no]]. I'm dead. I'm literally...Okay, still alive? Not sure ho... [dies]

-->'''Tear''': Oh shit! I lived! ''I died''...

-->'''Tear''': My comedy has gone so far downhill, it has gone down south to the [[TakeThat Central park of Comedy]].

-->'''Tear''': Let there be light...ok you see if I were a smart man, I would have done this before...we all know I'm not a smart man.

-->'''Tear''': Now every time I kill somebody I get like 10 health and 10 mana...although that has something to do with me being a Lich...I'll explain it all when I die, which won't take long.

-->'''Tear''': [[HurricaneOfPuns We may never know if he was a fungi to be around. And it's safe to say, with that joke, my comedy has mushroom for improvement.]]

-->'''Tear''': The disappointed look on his face as I left, ha ha ha, that's fucking awful. That is the face of true loneliness, trust me I know, I have mirrors...

-->'''Tear''': It's not a circle, that's my ignorance of shapes, you see I never made it out of school, you see me being a Website/YouTube boy, it's making the God damn clickbait and the hibbidy hibbidy God damn [[PungeonMaster pun]] jokes. [[WritersCannotDoMath I don't know what math is]], you know it's a miracle I pay my bills, I just throw into my credit card system and hopefully the direct debit gets paid and then the lights stay on...[[DontExplainTheJoke the joke is that I'm stupid]], clearly for thinking that fucking [[OverlyLongGag long winded bullshit]] would get a laugh at the end!

** In his playthrough of [[https://youtu.be/1LJMn8hW-qY?t=638 Amy's campaign]] of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Sonic Adventure]] after using an elevator to escape Zero, the E-series robot in a futile attempt to catch Tear ended up falling down the elevator shaft much to Tear's equal befuddlement and amusement.

-->''*cue pandemonium, complete with [[Film/PulpFiction Misirlou]]*''

* [[SirSwearsALot Sir Nobs-a-Lot]]

** The {{Film/Psycho}} shower scene stabbing sound when he murder someone (usually via stabbing).

** A snippet from [[Videogame/FinalFantasyVII the Mako Reactor theme]] when [[ThisIsGonnaSuck it's time to despair]].

-->'''Tear''': My comedy has gone so far downhill, it has gone [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark down south to the Central park]] of [[Creator/ComedyCentral Comedy]].
** While [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DabdAf8nRs&t=55s playing]] ''Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 5'', Tear encounters a lot of issues with it and sais that he gets that it's just a skating game and that he has played Tony Hawk games before, "the good ones, the ones they put effort into, the ones that weren't just made in order to keep their licensing agreements".

** Early on in [[VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor Shadow of Mordor]], Tear makes the mistake of saying "Maybe we'll actually find some Uruks of worth around here." His very next fight is his first clash with Prâk "Bane" Jaws, described above under ArchEnemy and TheDreaded.

-->'''Tear''': And that's why you don't mess with a Witcher, bitch!

-->'''Tear''': Fishing Hamlet. And then suddenly insight was gained. [[OhCrap Oh God...]]

-->'''Tear''': [[TemptingFate The skeletons have done more damage to me than the boss]], aaand... oh yeah, that's what I- [[DeadpanSnarker Lookin' forward to getting whacked in the face by]] ''[[{{BFS}} that]]''.

-->'''Tear''': I'm just prepared to get real sad by the end of this...

-->'''Tear''': Where did it go? You killed him without me? I wanted to knife him, I saved my special to just fucking end up not using it, brilliant, like every other freaking mission.

** [[VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor Prâk "Bane" Jaws]] communicates only in [[GigglingVillain giggles]] and [[ScreamingWarrior deranged howls]], [[spoiler: until his final appearance, where he is SuddenlySpeaking]].

-->'''Tear''': "Wet rabbit"? Seriously, is that...that's just a euphemism.

-->'''Tear''': In all fairness, the only time a man should ever be eating fucking petals is when it's a euphemism for a woman's downstairs flower.

* VoiceChangeling: Tear regularly imitates voices in his videos, including that of [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial E.T.]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]], [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]], [[VideoGame/DukeNukem Duke Nukem]], [[Franchise/StarTrek Scotty]] and [[VideoGame/{{Oddworld}} Abe]].

** Pretending not to know who LetsPlay/JackSepticEye is, usually in the comments section and very rarely in the videos themselves.

* AlliterativeName: "[[{{Gonk}} Googley-eyed]] [[{{VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda}} Ganon]]", the nickname of his ''Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin'' character.

** His ''Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIkm0kHUdTI&t=21s character]] was a "super ripped red looking motherfucker" who he nicknamed Googley-Eyed [[{{VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda}} Ganon]]. In ''Dark Souls 3'', Tear spent twenty minutes designing a similarly looking Ganon [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnGkJqRc-Po&t=8s character]].

* {{Gonk}}: He doesn't call his ''Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin'' character "Googley-eyed [[{{VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda}} Ganon]]" for nothing.
