History WebVideo / SovietWomble

* {{Corpsing}}: In "Random Space Engineers Bullshittery Part 4," Nep does the voice-overs for the pre-duel ship intros. It's quite evident from listening that she's trying to restrain her laughter while saying her lines.

* [[TheLancer Cyanide]]: His oldest and most frequent collaborator [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial (they're not friends, though)]] and usually the most troublesome, who will usually steal the scene by [[BigDamnHeroes saving your life]] in the most self-aggrandizing way or shooting you in the back [[ItAmusedMe for kicks, depending on his mood]]. Singaporean Indian, currently residing in the UK.

* Digby Tatham-Warter: AKA "Digby" for short, yet ''another'' British member of ZF and notable for his fun-loving personality, snarky attitude, and love for classical wartime music. As Womble once put it, he's basically what happens if you take a man from the 1930s and drop him in the modern world, possibly the actual [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digby_Tatham-Warter British Major in question]].

** At the end of "Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery (part 3)", Womble develops a both ornately-planned yet [[SimpleYetAwesome fundamentally simple]] way of amassing kills: printing out a copy of the map, creating paper markers measured to scale, and getting himself a rifle grenade launcher. With this setup along with the in-game navigation system, he's able to calculate the precise distances and directions to launch explosives from afar, nailing multiple deadly airstrikes in the process.

* KnifeNut: Over the course of repeated streams of the VR title ''Blade & Sorcery'', Soviet develops a strong preference for daggers, particularly for DualWielding or stabbing {{Shield Bearing Mook}}s in the back via telekinesis.

* OverlyLongGag: "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 7)" has a rather extended montage of Cyanide getting a hold of a bunch of did-you-know facts and starts reading them all out loud, to everyone's dismay. [[BrickJoke In the succeeding CS:GO Bullshittery Part 8]], before actually starting a serious conversation, he starts with "Did you know?" which causes the rest of the team to groan aloud.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Aside from the Bullshittery shenanigans, Womble has also done a few video essays such as a series on ''VideoGame/DayZ'' (part 1 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LhmHO6qXf4 here]]) and on ''The Isle'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj7JzmEf-_c here]].

* ObligatoryWarCrimeScene:
** Several parts of the "ARMA 3 Bullshittery" videos would qualify, but one incident stands out: Womble accidentally calling down an airstrike on a village that turned out to be full of civilians. [[NeverMyFault He tries shifting blame to the whole squad.]]
--->'''Teammate:''' [[TheStoolPigeon I'd be willing to testify against my squad leader in exchange for immunity.]]\\
'''Womble:''' Shut the fuck up!!
** Part 9 is probably [[UpToEleven the apex of this for that series.]] It ''starts'' with murdering political prisoners and other civilians and ends in suicide bombings, executions of surrendered enemies, and ''using civilians as human shields in an assault on a Russian base''.
---> '''Womble:''' [[HeelRealization Are we the baddies? We're the fucking bad guys!]]

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In "Random ''VideoGame/PlayerunknownsBattlegrounds'' Bullshittery (part 2)", after nearly getting sniped, Soviet manages to deduce the location of the shooter based on the trajectory left by the bullet hole. [[BuffySpeak It's a lot less eloquent than it sounds, though]].
-->'''Soviet:''' Hang on, I can calculate like the trajectory, use like, Series/{{CSI}} shit, and tell that it came from that building over there... ''[scopes to a building with a broken window on the second floor]'' AH, I--I--I can deduce from the broken glass that the shooter was there, you see? ''[aims at the building's entrance]'' And then I can sort of, triangulate his next, like, move... [[BuffySpeak move, thing]], and say he's gonna come out that door. I'm using like CSI shit--''[enemy walks out]''--OH, LOOK AT THAT! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR3jnW2kcUs *Cue the YEEEEAAAHHH*]]

* PutOnABus: Phoenix was rather prominent in early Bullshitteries as the "[[TokenWhite Token]] [[SarcasmMode American]]" of the clan, with his girlfriend [=WhiskeyChick=] getting a fair amount of screen time as well. He would disappear after the ''VideoGame/DayZ'' videos, however, due to some [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment nasty behind-the-scenes trouble between ZF clan members]], resulting in him getting kicked from the clan. He was accepted back years later, but due to the clan expanding significantly and Soviet having an established party to play with, it's highly unlikely he'll ever be seen in another Bullshittery. Official word from the Reddit FAQ is that Phoenix and a few others from the early days of ZF "do whatever they want" now, and leaves it at that.

** Womble isn't the only one to fall for this. In ''Random Player Unkown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery (part 3)'', Cyanice pronounces UsefuleNotes/{{Caligula}} as Caligoola.

While Womble was never a particularly prolific video creator, by 2018 his time was more oftent spent with live streams on [[https://www.twitch.tv/sovietwomble on his Twitch channel]]. Those often provide the source material for later videos.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/SovietWomble SovietWomble]] is a British streamer and [[InsistentTerminology self-proclaimed YouTube Phenomenon]] who is most known for his Bullshittery series, monthly videos that chronicle the misadventures of Womble and his friends as they '''attempt''' to play different games together, ([[WithFriendsLikeThese for some]] [[ItAmusedMe definition of]] [[{{Troll}} "together"]]). Womble is usually joined by some regular friends and teammates, most of them being fellow members of the online gaming clan ZF (pronounced the British way "Zed-Ef", standing for "Zero Fucks"). The videos are generally labelled "[[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Random (insert-game-here) Bullshittery]]". They consist of a collection of funny moments, zany situations and the all-around chaos that comes naturally when a group of dorky and irreverent friends play together, complemented by his addition of [[FunWithSubtitles subtitles]] and occasional {{Cutaway Gag}}s that are edited in afterwards for comedic effect. He also streams regularly [[https://www.twitch.tv/sovietwomble on his Twitch channel]], which often provides the source material for later videos. His most prominent clanmates/collaborators include:

* MagikarpPower: Soviet's [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Doomsday]] shotgun rounds are worthless at {{Videogame/ARMA}}'s normal engagement range, but as soon as he brings them into an urban close-quarters environment he gets almost thirty frags, demolishes several buildings, and ''blows up a tank''.
-->'''Cyanide:''' We can see [[{{Malaproper}} concisely]] where you've been, Soviet, by [[FollowTheChaos tracking the fucking buildings.]]\\
'''Womble:''' When I said it [[ExactWords negated cover,]] I was being serious.

-->-- '''[=SovietWomble=]''', [[BlatantLies lying.]]

** In "Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery (part 2)", he accidentally pronounces the name of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc Kim Phuc]] not as "fook", [[CrossCulturalKerfluffle but as...]] [[UnfortunateNames well...]]

* FiveTokenTeam: Surprisingly despite the offensive jokes made by the group (such as Cyanide, who's Indian mind you, making jokes towards Indians), the [=ZF=] clan is, in Soviet's words during "Random [=CS:GO=] Bullshittery (Part 4)", "equal opportunists" when it comes to recruiting new members.

** Despite the fact RealityEnsues when doing this in ''VideoGame/SpaceEngineers'', they tend to ram each other in their ships, particularly Cyanide while flying the ''[[MightyGlacier Hunter]]''. Their ship they built and battled with at the end of Part 2 weaponized this even further by placing explosives at the bow of the ship so when they rammed the enemy and then reversed, the bombs would be left inside (although the mechanism failed), and the battle was narrowly won by Cyanide burrowing their ship into the opposing ship to gut their power core.

* [[TheAce Edberg]]: Mexican (according to Cyanide; he's actually a Paraguayan born, Swedish national) streamer and singer, also the closest thing ZF has to a StraightMan, usually raging at Soviet's incompetence and Cyanide's antics, [[NotSoAboveItAll when he's not being a Troll himself]].

* BullyingADragon: During one part of the "Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery" videos, the clan gets bored of fighting Russians and desides to antagonize the ''Americans'' (and the rest of NATO) instead. To put it mildly, an utter CurbStompBattle ensues.

** Cyanide seems to be this way in Womble's videos, if the fact that he has been kicked out of a CS:GO game by unanimous vote in the middle of a round by his own side (twice!) is any indication. Although those two times were mainly ForTheLulz of [[{{Troll}} messing with Cyanide]].

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Apparently a common trait for ZF members; either they can't hit the intended target for shit, or they somehow end up teamkilling. In one [=DayZ=] Bullshittery, Cyanide claims there's a gun named after the ZF clan, which Womble jokes "fires only every third shot," while another clan member says it "only targets allies."

** Soviet Womble is an "internet phenomenon" and a "professional CS:GO player" (professional in that he streams the game as his source of income). This comes back to bite him when he gets obliterated by actual pros, who point out that their presence is fair game because Womble himself claims to be a professional.

-->''...Beset on all sides by idiots.''

* BookEnds: Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9 begins and ends with a montage of (rather well made) fake news clips setting up the story. The one at the start talks about the Russians invading the region. The one at the end talks about [[spoiler: the Russians wiping out the Resistance, as well as talking about the various war crimes the Resistance committed, and how public opinion on the islands has shifted in favour of the Russians, both for bringing stability and actually doing a lot to improve peoples quality of life]].
