History Website / ChannelAwesome

** Besides [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony's]] ''SWAT 4'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria 2}} Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh]]'' LP, Paw did one of ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder'' and ''Alice in Wonderland'' for the Commodore 64 and [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] played ''[[VideoGame/StarTrekEliteForce Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force]]'', which finally concluded in March 2010.

** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] getting quite a list as he's the desperate-to-be-a-hero guy of the site. He's fought [[MadScientist Doctor Insano]], [[RobotMe Mechakara]], [[BigBadWannabe Dr. Linksano]], [[HumongousMecha Neutro]], [[DarkChick Dolorem]], [[DarkChick Judas Liz]], [[BigBad Lord Vyce]], and [[EldritchAbomination TheEntity]]. That's just for now!

* BetterThanABareBulb: Half of Phelous and Linkara's ''Film/TheAirzoneSolution'' review and Phelous and Film Brain's ''Lockjaw'' review have constantly lampshade the set-up of crossover reviews.

''Channel Awesome'', formerly known as ''That Guy With the Glasses'', was ''the'' pop culture reviewing site network, featuring numerous critics, sketch comedians, and riffers when first launched in June 4, 2008. Occasionally and early on they did Anniversary Specials with the big names. It was divided into Blistered Thumbs, Inked Reality, Team TGWTG, and Barfiesta.

* MundaneFantastic: Despite a fairly normal world, Linkara has a magic gun, there are several {{mad scientist}}s and robots around, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick also knows a fairy, a number of the reviewers have ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' like powers, there's a PortalNetwork in washing machines...

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The women get into just as much silly fights (especially WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick) and ToiletHumor as the boys do. They do get flack for this from ''some'' fans, though, as the ''WesternAnimation/FerngullyTheLastRainforest'' review [[InsaneTrollLogic was seen as women abuse]] and Lindsay mentions in the ''Honor And Glory'' commentary that they got some shocked comments about the fart jokes.

** [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/27929-coffee-with-bargo Coffee with Bargo]] features robot zombie unicorns "messing shit up", which was apparently orchestrated by a [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]] [[Franchise/StarWars Jedi]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguin]], who may or may not be a messianic spork god as well.

* TalkingToHimself: [[invoked]]
** [[http://nostalgiacritic.blip.tv/file/3906636/ "The Tommy Wiseau Show"]] has Doug doing this to Tommy Wiseau's... "[[NarmCharm quirky]]" acting. But that's just an AffectionateParody compared to John from [=TheRoomMovie.com=], [[RealLifeWritesThePlot who took down Doug's review of]] ''Film/TheRoom'' [[RealLifeWritesThePlot due to copyright violations]].
** Having shaved off his beard at one point, The Critic explains that he lost a bet to [[WebVideo/AskThatGuyWithTheGlasses Ask That Guy]], who appears and has (obviously) also shaved due to a misunderstanding. When Chester A. Bum pops up too, Doug is having a three-way conversation with himself.

*** Taken UpToEleven when The Critic, Linkara, Obscurus Lupa, Phelous, and Cinema Snob come together in what can only be described as [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/ol/sketches/27503-day-tommy-wiseau "The Day of Many Wiseaus"]].

* TopTenList: [[UpToEleven Top 11]], in fact.

** The entire male crew on the site loves cat fights, as shown in the review for ''Film/MortalKombat: Annihilation''.

* AwesomeMcCoolname:
** From ''[[WebVideo/BennettTheSage Masterpiece Fanfic Theatre]]'', we present, "Robot B. Wonderful".
** Renaming Molossia to ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}''.

** [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau's]] very existence appears to have become a running gag across much of the site, especially after the ''The Room'' fiasco.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The character sheet doesn't even cover all of the contributors, past and present, and it's still growing. The size of the [[WebVideo/TGWTGYearOneBrawl First Anniversary Brawl]]'s cast list looks unimpressive compared to the latter two anniversary films. To put it bluntly, ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' seemed to have as many cameos as main characters.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The site suffered from this quite badly in the early days, and the Nostalgia Chick contest was created to get more women and more women viewers. Now though, a lot of just-as-crazy females are around and they've cottoned on how to ''really'' [[HoYay get]] [[FoeYay more]] [[{{Fanservice}} girls]] [[FemaleGaze watching]], which has proved a success according to Michaud.

** While not common, this trope can be subverted by some shows. {{WebVideo/StuffYouLike}} is one example, as it looks at one aspect Ursa feels films do especially right. {{WebVideo/RockedReviews}} is another example, as he often goes into depth on what works for him when reviewing songs and albums. Even when reviewing albums he doesn't like, he'll sometimes point out what he thinks the album is doing right.

* WebVideo/RockedReviews (Luke Spencer)

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' was the big game-changer. While some shows went on as normal, [[spoiler: Critic is explicitly dead yet somewhere in the universe]]. Chick can't help but miss him, Chester got more Critic-like in snark and depression, Ask That Guy started being able to question the {{plot hole}}s [[ItMakesSenseInContext of the Hummel figurine]], and [[spoiler: Malachite's Hand had a plot point in Linkara's show]].

* {{Facepalm}}: Everyone has their moments at the second when they realize that some of the stuff they are reviewing contains some elements that are either {{Critical Research Failure}}s from the writers, filmmakers or directors, or just because [[WhatAnIdiot whatever]] these people have to say regarding their works that are just wrong or ridiculous. [[invoked]]

* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: There are several in-universe critiques.
** Bennett the Sage has harsh words to say after reading a ''TMNT''/''Gargoyles'' crossover {{slash|Fic}} {{lemon}}. The fact that his next target is [[http://web.archive.org/web/20110808012201/tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Horrible/FanFic Oscar]] may have contributed.

** In episode 5 of ''Masterpiece Fanfic Theater'', [[WebVideo/BennetTheSage Bennett]] reads a script-formatted crossover fanfiction between ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', and ''Anime/SailorMoon'', with a [[SelfInsertFic self-insert character]] and a plot ripped off from a ''Series/DoctorWho'' [[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho audio drama]], written by... Linkara, who spends most of the episode tied up to an armchair, trying in vain to get Bennett to stop reading it.

* TroperCriticalMass: BigLippedAlligatorMoment became a trope literally hours after WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick first said it. ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'', a no-budget film about nutcases taking over a tiny country, has a longer page than some blockbuster movies or series, plus long Funny, Heartwarming and Awesome Moment pages. Tommy Wiseau apparently crossed the MoralEventHorizon after taking down the ''Film/TheRoom'' review. For God's sake, look at the size of this page!
