''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/LifesAGlitchTV Life's A Glitch TV]]'' (commonly abbreviated as LAGTV) is a Website/YouTube channel hosted by two [[CanadaEh Canadian guys]][[note]]from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to be exact[[/note]] named Adam ([=NovaWar=]) and Jeff ([=MaximusBlack=]). They have done some [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] for ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'', ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'' and ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'', although they are mostly known for their ''VideoGame/StarCraftII'' commentary series called "When Cheese Fails 101", which was retooled for a season "Will Cheese Fail?" and has since returned to the [[ForegoneConclusion "When Cheese Fails" format]]. Though which player will win is not necessarily known because of the existence of double cheeses.

* CanadaEh: Both casters have extremely distinct UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents, right down to saying "aboat" (NOT ABOOT) instead of about.
** They tend to make exclusively Canadian pop culture references by accident, failing to realize no one will get them until it's too late. On more than one occasion they've referenced Tim Horton's, and once they even compared a fast unit to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donovan_Bailey Donovan Bailey]], before lampshading how obscure the reference would be to non-Canadians

Unlike their contemporaries such as Website/DayNine, Creator/HuskyStarcraft, and [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]], who cast games from the level of TournamentPlay, LAGTV casts fan-submitted replays of [[SoOkayItsAverage mid- to high-level Ladder games]] submitted by their fans, in an attempt to analyze in-depth what happens when [[{{Whoring}} cheese tactics]] fail. The games are typically cast blind, with neither [=NovaWar=] nor [=MaximusBlack=] knowing what is going to happen. While the series is primarily intended for entertainment, Adam and Jeff are also [[HiddenDepths excellent commentators]], dissecting in detail what each player is doing right and wrong. Players who want to learn how to defend against cheese--or perpetrate it!--should consider this show required reading.

* ButNotTooBlack: Frequently {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Maximus, who is quite black in RealLife, but has a regular Canadian accent without so much of a hint of SoulBrotha. [[BriefAccentImitation He'll sometimes slip into stereotypical Soul Brotha when he's really angry though]].

--> '''[[TokenMinority MaximusBlack]]''': And I'm an AngryBlackMan.

** If a player reaches 5,000 minerals in the bank (in a game where you are expected to spend minerals CONSTANTLY and never hoard), it's called [[Website/{{Facebook}} Facebook Money]]. [[GiftedlyBad FireToBlaze]] almost reached [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 10,000 minerals]] at once, which prompted the casters to give that milestone a new nickname: [[Creator/OprahWinfrey Oprah Money]]. [=AlbinoFly=] then proceeds to not only force Jeff and Adam to reveal [[SerialEscalation a milestone for 15,000 minerals]], [[Website/{{Google}} Google Money]], but also coin a term for ''[[UpToEleven 20,000 minerals]]'', dubbed OPEC Money.

** While everything at When Cheese Fails revolves around the cheeser finding the tables turned, some moments are ''so'' epically bad that they receive the "FAIL" stamp seen in the page picture. Its first appearance was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-3ZrXOrz_0 here]]. Taken UpToEleven [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQJ3jYQsyzA by the second season]].

* NonSequitur: Both Adam and Jeff are prone to these. However, at one point, Adam took it '''[[CatchPhrase to a]] [[UpToEleven whole 'nother level]]''' and basically turned [[http://youtu.be/G3daJuXoRV0 an entire episode]] into one.

* {{Corpsing}}: Despite their best efforts, the two can't help but crack up throughout their casting of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7ZFZtRQwjw Colonpounder vs Dickbruiser]].

** They also hate PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad and when social movements with good goals get taken off the rails by extremists and opportunitsts.

* FanNickname: InUniverse.
** Zealots are all named Bob, Stalkers are Steves, Colossi are Giraffes, and Marines are Billie Jeans. Players with hard-to-pronounce names are also given alternate nicknames; for example, Jadaba becomes known as [[Franchise/StarWars Jabba]].
** If a player reaches 5,000 minerals in the bank (in a game where you are expected to spend minerals CONSTANTLY and never hoard), it's called [[Website/{{Facebook}} Facebook Money]]. [[GiftedlyBad FireToBlaze]] almost reached [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale 10,000 minerals]] at once, which prompted the casters to give that milestone a new nickname: [[Creator/OprahWinfrey Oprah Money]].

** Surrounding a defensive structure with worker units so zealots/zerglings can't kill it is called the Circle of Life.
** Using Ravager's corrosive bile, especially in groups, is referred to as "dropping mix tapes".
** Using a single pylon to power multiple protoss structures[[note]]Which Adam and Jeff regularly state is always a bad idea as losing that one pylon can depower a significant portion of a protoss player's base[[/note]] is an Artosis Pylon, after Starcraft player Artosis who frequently does exactly that.

* TheMerch: Discussed InUniverse. [=NovaWar=] once joked about making [[FanNickname Bob the Zealot]] T-shirts.

* EnthusiasmVersusStoicism: The guys' playstyles can be summarized loosely this way. Adam is cautious and prefers to get everything in order (like securing food supplies and shelter), while Jeff charges headlong into adventure and danger which often causes more trouble than it's worth.

** As of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, [=COVIDiots=] have joined the list of things that piss them off. They have zero tolerance for anyone who denies the virus exists, downplays its dangers, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, and anyone who objects to or breaks lockdowns or restrictions. Justified, as they both have families to worry about, and in Adam's case, that includes his nonagenarian grandmother

** At the start of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVZfvFR5Trc TechnicGoose's match]], Jeff asks Adam to give him the "sound of a goose if it was techno". Adam starts clucking as, despite being Canadian, he has no idea what a goose sounds like.
