History LetsPlay / VanossGamingAndCompany

* GratuitousSpanish: Droidd borders this and SurprisinglyGoodEnglish.

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
** This has been mined for just about every joke that could be [[JustForPun wrung from it]] (especially in CAH), as well as raging, such as when Panda said that masturbating with sandpaper would be more fun than the ''Golf It'' game he was in.
** During a CAH game, one particular play led Panda to [[DiscussedTrope give a hilarious anecdote]] about a teenage instance that got rather [[JustForPun out of hand]].

* GeniusDitz: Nogla has become one when the group is playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs''. His frenetic discussion style and tendency to make spur-of-the-moment voting decisions based on little actual evidence have led to several WhatAnIdiot moments. Surprisingly, he's right almost as often as he's wrong and occasionally capable of very clever moves.

* WhatAnIdiot: Nogla and Ohm [[InvokedTrope frequently draw this reaction]] from other players during ''Skribbl.io'' sessions due to their...interesting ways of drawing clues.

* TakeThat: During the ''Fortnite'' craze, WILDCAT and [=BasicallyIDoWrk=] switched to ''Fortnite'' as their primary source of videos. In more than a few cases (like in [[https://youtu.be/8zM2M7ryEgY Skribbl.io]] and [[https://youtu.be/8VCluEmhGXI Uno]]), their friends poked fun at their newest obsession.
** Later on in 2021, both Nogla and Terroriser posted videos labelled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3u3YuW1ySY Wow, are they still playing Gmod? I wouldn't know!]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWT26NZbb7Y ADDRESSING THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ME]]" respectively for a Prop Hunt session, directly throwing shade at former member Mini Ladd for his insults towards the group and allegations.
*** Eventually, in 2022, the shade thrown at Mini Ladd began to grow ''a lot'' more frequent, especially from Nogla's end, particularly on Nogla and Terroriser's reaction collab. It gets to the point that Wildcat asks Nogla if these jokes are going to become a common thing or not after the former made one in a [[https://youtu.be/VRTDDDHQZ80?t=689 video for Escape the Backrooms]], and Nogla and Terroriser made a whole [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO8XThDxFfA Meme Stream livestream]] to effectively take Mini Ladd's own.
----> '''Wildcat''': What's your guys's policy on these Mini Ladd jokes, do they stay in now or...?\\
'''Nogla''': ''(Bluntly)'' Eh, yeah, they're starting to.

* ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield 1}}''

In January 2019, his gaming channel ranked 32nd in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_subscribed_users_on_YouTube#Current_most_subscribed_channels list of most subscribed YouTubers]]. As of August 2021, he has 25.7 million subscribers and over 14 billion views since his first videos which started around 2012. His channel at one point gained more subscriptions-per-day than known [=YouTube=] giant ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie''. In 2014 alone, his subscriptions rose from approximately two million to over ''ten million''.

He has [[FriendingNetwork social media]] accounts on [[https://twitter.com/VanossGaming Twitter]], [[https://www.facebook.com/VanossGaming Facebook]], and [[https://instagram.com/vanossinstagram/ Instagram]]. He has an article on [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VanossGaming here.]] Vanoss also stars in the [=YouTube=] Red animated series ''Paranormal Action Squad'' alongside LetsPlay/SeaNanners and LetsPlay/MrSark, and has a series of animated skits of him and the Crew by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7blD4VlGU&list=PLckJaGHOA6oOPM-O_zZ0i_SVHK7vlXgcU Pegbarians]].

** At the end of a ''Mario Kart 8'' race, he complained about his controller not working right, which led to [[https://youtu.be/OJB5F1bCoKY?t=5m15s an amazing roast from Terroriser ]]:

** Delirious has yet to reveal his real face to his subscribers. While his ''GTA V'' character does wear clown facepaint, it is covered by his [[CoolMask signature hockey mask]] 90% of the time. In most depictions of Delirious, such as his video thumbnail art, he is wearing the mask. Of all the gamers in or involved with the group, only Cartoonz has met him in real life and knows what he looks like, and he's adamant that he's not going to give any information about Delirious' face unless he is given permission to. It's become a running gag for him to post a face reveal video every April Fools' or when he's reached a subscriber milestone.

* FreakyFridayFlip: One of their episodes has Vanoss and Delirious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrfiaZitri4 switch to each other's signature clothings]]. Though not elaborated on, Mini and Moo also switch places in the same video. They later invite Lui in the game just to mess with him.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: They're all really good friends who've spent years bonding and making jokes at one another...but sometimes they just ''cannot stand'' Nogla. Moo has rage quit a handful of times because of how toxic he can get.
* TheGadfly: ''Any one of them''. Mostly Vanoss, who deliberately disobeys his friends and orders, or just [[LeeroyJenkins runs in guns blazing]] and kills them all (or ruins their plans).

* InopportuneVoiceCracking: During one ''Mario Kart 8'' race on GBA Cheese Land, [=fourzer0seven=]'s voice cracked while calling Nogla a fuckboy, which left the others in hysterics. Mini calls back to this in his "The Best Roasts on Reddit" video in reference to the people talked about on r/niceguys.

* KarmicButtMonkey: Terroriser. Like Vanoss, Terroriser is a massive troll. Unlike Vanoss, Terroriser is never able to recognize when he is going too far. He has made ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes MOO SNUCKEL]]'' ragequit (or at least made him royally pissed off) on several occasions, and almost always makes it the highlight of his video when he does. Which makes it all the more funny when he absolutely suffers.

** Averted in the early days of ''Black Ops 2'', when white and black players threw the N-word around in games. Used a lot less now, though, with a player who uses the N-word instantly being called out by Basically and some of the others.

* OldShame: [[invoked]] Wildcat to this day is deeply embarassed by his ''Black Ops 2'' days in which he created the "tube" and "puncake" songs.

** Vanoss and Delirious can't seem to go a day of playing ''Garry's Mod'' without dying together at the same time for one reason or another.
** As of [=YouTube=]'s updated rules, whenever one of them even makes a slight indication of anything against black people, Marcel or one of the others will jokingly call them out for being racist.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: This one's all over the place.
** {{Subverted|Trope}} with Vanoss, Wildcat, Basically, Moo, Terroriser, fourzer0seven, Panda, and Mini Ladd, who are referred to by their real names[[note]]Evan, Tyler, Marcel, Brock, Brian, Scotty, Anthony, and Craig respectively[[/note]] almost as much as their gaming handles.
** Played straight with Lui, [=SMii7Y=], Nogla, Delirious and Ohmwrecker. Although Lui and [=SMii7Y=] are not as protective of their identities as Delirious, we do not know their real names. Daithi's been called by his real name (David), but it's ''much'' less frequently than the others. Delirious has only mentioned his first name (Jonathan) in a Q&A session, and Ohm revealed his first name (Ryan) on a RUST stream.

* RageQuit: Some members will inevitably do this depending the situation.

** Panda rage quits all the time when he gets frustrated at his in-game performance. He even caused Terroriser to end a stream early by quitting ''Mario Kart 8'' after placing last in several consecutive races between the two of them and Mini Ladd.

** Moo and/or Basically often coming up with lame yet still funny jokes and puns.

* SelfImposedChallenge: They tend to apply a special rule to their ''Black Ops Zombie'' custom map videos, where they have to get the exact change when trying to go for the final map ending unlock objective.
* SerialKiller: They've used this trope a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01d40z1MLrs couple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL24CMKjhFg times]] during their skits and is the premise for their "Murder Maze" videos.

* {{Squick}}: [[InvokedTrope The whole point]] of the "Reddit 50/50 Challenge" videos[[note]]The viewer is given a list of "X or Y" links, where X is something innocuous, if not necessarily SFW, and Y is something that's weapons-grade NightmareFuel and/or NauseaFuel. Clicking the link will randomly bring up one of them.[[/note]] that several of the guys have done. Mini's noted that the bad scenes are worse than normal for them because they have to see them again while blurring them out during editing.

** Vanoss frequently dubs stock sounds over certain scenes either to emphasize the event, or for pure comedic effect.

*** Eventually in 2022, the shade thrown at Mini Ladd began to grow ''a lot'' more frequent, especially from Nogla's end, and in particular on Nogla and Terroriser's reaction collab. It gets to the point that Wildcat asks Nogla if these jokes are going to become a common thing or not after the former made one in a [[https://youtu.be/VRTDDDHQZ80?t=689 video for Escape the Backrooms]], and Nogla and Terroriser made a whole [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO8XThDxFfA Meme Stream livestream]] to effectively take Mini Ladd's own.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Several times members of the crew will make an AccidentalInnuendo resulting in various instant reactions from the cast.

** Terroriser, Nogla and [=KryozGaming=] during ''Golf It'' and ''Golf with Friends'' games if collisions are on; they are well known for hitting their balls into other players' to screw up their games. Terroriser's done this to the point of getting [=GassyMexican=] and ''Moo'' to rage quit. In one ''Golf It'' game, Moo not only said "I hate you with every fiber of my being!" after Terroriser knocked him off a course, he even ''texted'' "I HATE YOU" to Terroriser.

* WeUsedToBeFriends:
** The friendship between Terrorizer and Mini Ladd crashed and burned around mid-2019 for a variety of reasons, although the information that came from both of them at the time was testy and contradictory. As of mid-2020, the split is likely permanent and irresolvable.
** Terroriser has also lost his friendship with Ohmwrecker after a separate fallout, which he stated in one of his videos from a ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' stream was at least somewhat tied to the circumstances that killed his and Mini Ladd's friendship. Ohmwrecker has refuted claims that these events were related.
** The misconduct allegations against Mini Ladd in 2020 permanently destroyed his friendship with the group, among other things that happened to him in the fallout.

* GeniusDitz: Nogla has become one when the group is playing ''VideoGame/AmongUs''. His frenetic discussion style and tendency to make spur-of-the-moment voting decisions based on little actual evidence have led to several WhatAnIdiot moments, but surprisingly, he's right almost as often as he's wrong, and is occasionally capable of some very clever moves.

* GladIThoughtOfIt: A common gag.

* GretzkyHasTheBall: During a GTA session, as an explanation for why his character was holding a baseball bat, Nogla claimed to be a "Swinger for the LA Lakers".
* HiddenDepths: Mini, Nogla, and Panda can sing really well, considering how much they destroy their voices in recordings. Tyler can play a decent drum solo and Nogla can play guitar as well, and Mini is working on music production.

* IdiotHero: Delirious tends to give incredibly obvious hints to what he and his teammates' disguises are in ''Prop Hunt.''

* NonSequitur: Delirious has a tendency to randomly reply to others with some very bizzare statements.

** Averted in the early days of ''Black Ops 2'', when the N word was thrown around in games by both white and black players. Used a lot less now though, with a player who uses the N word instantly being called out by Basically and some of the others.

*** In one game, Wildcat yelled out all the white cards for one round, including "I'M 100% NIGGA!" Once the laughter subsided and he explained that he'd taken a comment from Basically as a go-ahead[[note]]Basically said "I got you, Tyler", saying that he was going to read it himself, but Tyler thought it meant he was clear and went for it[[/note]], Basically gave him a pass with the "Black stamp of approval" and told the comments section to shut up.

Other gamers who are heavily featured in the examples below but who are, for various reasons, no longer actively associated with Vanoss or the others are Craig Thompson (Mini Ladd), Lui Calibre, and Ohmwrecker.

** Basically had [[https://youtu.be/Q23S_6dA0yU a video]] where he played the Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} challenge with Jeremy from Creator/AchievementHunter.

He has [[FriendingNetwork social media]] accounts on [[https://twitter.com/VanossGaming Twitter]], [[https://www.facebook.com/VanossGaming Facebook]], and [[https://instagram.com/vanossinstagram/ Instagram]]. He has an article on [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VanossGaming here.]] Vanoss also stars in the [=YouTube=] Red animated series ''Paranormal Action Squad'' alongside LetsPlay/SeaNanners and LetsPlay/MrSark, and has a series of animated skits of him and the Crew by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7blD4VlGU&list=PLckJaGHOA6oOPM-O_zZ0i_SVHK7vlXgcU Pegbarians]].

** [=H2ODelirious=]: [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]], [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]

** [=Fourzer0seven=]: [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody]]. He currently uses a model resembling himself.

* FreakyFridayFlip: One of their episodes has Vanoss and Delirious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrfiaZitri4 switch to each other's signature clothings]]. Though not elaborated on, Mini and Moo also switch places in the same video.

** Mini and Panda frequently play TabletopGame/{{UNO}} and ''VideoGame/ShellShockLive'' with LetsPlay/ChilledChaos and Ze Royal Viking from LetsPlay/TheDerpCrew, and Chilled has been in on several of the group's CAH games.

** Mini Ladd is this in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' racing, contrasting his former ButtMonkey status in ''Mario Kart 8''.

** Mini Ladd quickly tired of people joking about comas and Toyota Tacomas (referencing the hit-and-run), and in his third video about his fan-made subreddit, he announced that anyone doing so on his Twitch streams would be instantly permabanned. He also ''hates'' the "You've been Gnomed!" meme and on his meme streams, he will go as far as running out of the room if he even ''thinks'' that a video is going to include it.

** Mini Ladd was this for many of the group's early ''Mario Kart 8'' sessions. A combination of genuine bad luck, getting screwed over by other players, and him having difficulty with the game due to being completely green to the ''franchise'' caused him to go on endless streaks of finishing last or next-to-last. However, he eventually improved to the point where he's now one of the best overall players.

** Lui, Nogla, and Mini, along with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/themissesmae MissesMae]], once did a [[Creator/TakeTwoInteractive Rockstar Games]][[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rockstar+sidemen+mae&page=&utm_source=opensearch -livestreamed series]] of ''GTA Online'' Last Team Standing deathmatches against four of the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} (specifically Creator/{{KSI}}Olajidebt, WebVideo/{{miniminter}}, [=Vikkstar123=], and Zerkaa).
*** Josh, Simon, and Vik would later return for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaMDTvBbQ4k&t=1s two]] ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QW_CZyKdrY sessions]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22_U1nv-5_o two]] ''Golf It'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0ZxQLz0lQI videos]], alongside Brian, Anthony, and Craig; while Simon is appearing as a regular guest for drunk challenges/sessions on Mini Ladd's channel.
** Basically had [[https://youtu.be/Q23S_6dA0yU a video]] where he played the Wikipedia challenge with Jeremy from Creator/AchievementHunter.

* OnlySaneMan: Mini Ladd tends to play this role when he's with the others.

** One infamously difficult obstacle on the [[https://youtu.be/o2PFm0NeN2k?t=13m18s Thanksgiving Gmod Deathrun]] caused everybody to die ''over and over'', to the point where the life counter ''went into the negatives''. Marcel [[RageQuit skipped the obstacle]] after getting ''negative 20 lives''.

* KarmicButtMonkey: Terroriser. Like Vanoss, Terroriser is a massive troll. Unlike Vanoss, Terroriser is never able to recognize when he is going too far. He has made ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes MOO SNUCKEL]]'' ragequit (or at least made him royally pissed off) on several occasions, and almost always makes it the highlight of his video when he does.
