History Webvideo / DiamandaHagan

* NeutralFemale: During one of the penultimate fight scenes in ''Film/TurkeyShoot'', Hagan remarks that while TheHero and TheDragon are fighting, the DistressedDamsel is sitting on the sidelines while she could [[TooDumbToLive easily flank on the bad guy or even just run away]]. Given that the baddies [[{{ForegoneConclusion}} are set on killing and/or raping the heroes]], there's absolutely no point in waiting around to see who will win. [[spoiler: Subverted when the heroine [[CombatPragmatist sneaks up on the bad guy and cuts his hand off with a machete]].]]

* AnythingThatMoves: Alistair has a LongDistanceRelationship with his boyfriend Basil. That doesn't stop either one of them from perusing other men, women, or mannequins. And then there was the Theatre/{{Equus}} Review:
--> "My Little Pony, [[WaxingLyrical My Little Pony]], Ahhhhhhhhhh."

* CatchPhrase:
** [[Theatre/HedwigAndTheAngryInch "Ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not..."]]
** "Greetings gentleviewers!"
** "This is ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}''; you have been warned."
** "I'm Diamanda Hagan and I have to live with that every day."
** [Clip of annoying character] "Yeah, I'm going to hate you..."
** "Minions! Do the Dance Of Exposition!"
** "Hail Hagan!" (disinterested) "Hail me."

* [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Even the Lesbian Overlord Wants Him]]: Even Diamanda couldn't resist the appeal of Creator/OliverReed with facial hair in Oancitizen's review of ''Film/TheDevils''. Oancitizen is terrified by that.
-->'''Diamanda:''' [when asked how she feels about penises]Oh, I have a bonfire of those every Thursday. Disgusting slimy little things with their eel-like length and [Oancitizen shows her a picture of Oliver Reed] how can you stand having one of those attached to your...[she gasps and swoons in delight]
-->'''Minion:''' Mistress, are you okay?
-->'''Diamanda:'''[ecstatically, from off-camera on the floor] OLIVER REED!
-->'''Oancitizen:''' [stares at the picture in horror] I must only use this power for good.

* IncrediblyLamePun:
** After a character gets a machete in the head during ''Turkey Shoot'' she lampshades the fact she's about to do a lame "splitting headache" joke.
** In ''Memory Run'' after the GenderBender male begins to [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman feel their recently acquired breasts]] she quips the film should have been called "Mammary Run".
** When Woody lands in the River Seine in ''Film/Condorman'', she remarks he is literally "in-Seine"
** After a character in ''Siege'' says "Fire at Will!," she plays a montage of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration people shooting at Will Riker]]. She follows this up with "You have ''no idea'' how long I've been waiting to do that!"

* TwoferTokenMinority: Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses' first openly gay (If not [[WebVideo/{{Benzaie}} LGBT]]) and Northern-Irish member.

** In his ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'' review, LetsPlay/GomerTheRantingThespian refers to her as an "insane [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]] ripoff".

* PostModernism: As TalkingtoHimself shows, at times Diamanda has the on-camera performance, voiceover, and writer\editor arguing about the episode they're filming.

** Picking on Minority religions makes her pretty damn angry. Big players like UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}}, UsefulNotes/{{Islam}}, and even [[UsefulNotes/{{Atheism}} Atheists like herself]] are AcceptableTargets, so long as one has ShownTheirWork. Depicting small groups like theistic satanists as [[HollywoodSatanism crazed bad guys]] prompts her to remind everyone how much more suffering major religions have caused in comparison.

* AlterEgoActing: A pretty staunch type 1, as Diamanda Hagan is a separate person from her actor. (Who does exist, as her real self, in her character's universe [[spoiler: where, for the crime of looking like the leader of Haganistan, she is eternally locked in the dungeon and [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment forced to watch]] ''Film/TheRoom''.]])

* DisappointingHeritageReveal: Her "Headcanon fodder" episode for ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'' proposes that the reason Adamant is such a QuintessentialBritishGentleman is that he's actually from the Raj, born of a union between a British officer and an Indian mother and raised on stories that painted an idealized picture of Victorian society. When he actually went to London, the racist reality [[BrokenPedestal broke his faith in it]], hiding his heritage and becoming even more dedicated to the ideals he'd been taught as a silent rebellion against the hypocrisy around him.

[[https://www.youtube.com/user/DiamandaHagan Diamanda Hagan]] is a [[UsefulNotes/NorthernIreland Northern Irish]] ButchLesbian and EvilOverlord of the nation of Haganistan, with a {{mysterious past}} (who [[https://twitter.com/Diamandahagan/status/177195230565642241 might have previously been]] Jerrica "WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}" Benton in a cartoon) and a sideline as a film critic and the host of ''Diamanda Hagan: Lecher Bitch''. She mostly reviews bad movies, but has also done a recap/review of the series ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}'', ''Urban Gothic'' and ''Series/AdamAdamantLives''; ''Twatty Who Reviews'', focusing on the worst episodes of ''Series/DoctorWho'', and the ''Homeless Bsterrd Theatre Reviews'' starring Aleister D. Homelesssb’sterrd. This is similar to WebVideo/BumReviews, but focusing on theater (she even describes him as a distant cousin of Chester A. Bum).

* ADateWithRosiePalms: While...enjoying the sight of Kirk Cameron crying in ''Left Behind'' it cuts to Music/TheDivinyls' "I Touch Myself" with a caption stating "Divinyls break" This happens again after Viv calls Magwilde a "sad, messed up woman" in the final episode of ''Bonekickers''
** She also turned one of her minions into a vibrator...before retiring to her bedroom for several weeks.

* SuperOCD: Guesses that God in the ''Film/{{Apocalypse}}'' Quadrilogy may have this, noting that unlike in ''Film/{{Left Behind|2000}}'', people's clothing is left neatly folded after they are raptured.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Applies to both minions and Hagan herself, usually by way of some ZanyScheme blowing up in her face.

-->'''Diamanda''': Ooh, sorry. [[{{Gainaxing}} Hypnotic boobs]].

** A running problem with Genesis 7; the characters go on constant creationist apologetic rants trying to say every scientific theory was created by atheists who just didn't want to be held to moral standards... even for things like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel genetics]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Lema%C3%AEtre the Big Bang]] which were originally proposed by ''priests''.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Due to his WolverineClaws, she describes the main character in ''Film/FaustLoveOfTheDamned'' as Techno-Wolverine, with a caption explaining it as "like {{Wolverine}}, but more techno".

She can also be seen [[http://diamandahagan.wordpress.com/ here]], was on Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses until March 2018 and [[http://rtgomer.com/ RT Gomer Productions]]. She also has a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DiamandaHagan YouTube]] channel.

** WebVideo/{{Welshy}} had an extended cameo in the ''The Dragon Lives Again'' review pretending to be the guy who rules Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

* AfricaIsACountry: Calls out the gratuitous use of this trope in the second episode of ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}''. One man says that the bones of the dead slaves should be returned "to Africa" without naming a culture or even country they should be returned to. For all they know, they could be burying the slaves in the same area as their ancestral enemies or even the people that enslaved them to begin with.

** ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}'' treating Africa, the second-biggest continent on the planet, as small enough to have a single culture invites no small amount of derision from her. Namely, she responds to the claim that the bones should be brought back to Africa by pointing out that they'd be lucky to find to the right country, let alone their ancestral home, and that for all they know the dance they perform for the dead slaves is from their sworn enemies.

** ''Series/AdamAdamantLives'': A "very flawed" but beloved drama/fantasy show from the 1960's, loved for its [[FairForItsDay 1960's depictions of sex and violence]].

* RunningGag: in the ''Vegas in Space'' review, comparing the movie's (very cheap) effects favourably to those of ''Actium Maximus, War of the Alien Dinosaurs''.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: She says this on seeing Stonewall and Riot, after having screwed their way through half the supervillains of the city, come to a complete stop and walk away when faced with a supervillain''ess''.

* AlterEgoActing: A pretty staunch type 1, as Diamanda Hagan is a separate person from her actor. (Who does exist, as her real self, in her character's universe [[spoiler: where, for the crime of looking like the leader of Haganistan, she is eternally locked in the dungeon and [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment forced to watch ]] ''Film/TheRoom''.]])

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Chastises Wood from ''Film/Condorman'' for invading his friend's life, taking over his apartment, almost getting him in trouble with the local law, almost ruining his career by posing as a secret agent, stealing his bed and then trying to wake him up so he could show him his "hand drawn porn."

* ''Twatty Who Reviews'': a voice over review show in the vein of WebSite/SFDebris, but with a lot more vitriol and a lot more sarcasm, drawing on a lifetime as a [[Series/DoctorWho classic whovian]] and a palpable disappointment with the new series. Seems to be the biggest hit with non-Hagan fans. Other shows reviewed in a similar manner include:

* SoundTrackDissonance: During a flogging scene in ''Ilsa'' she says it needs {{Music/Devo}} and she starts to play ''Whip It'' Later when a character is being buried she plays ''Working in a Coalmine''. To complete the [[RuleOfThree trilogy]], when the American spy is snooping around she plays ''Secret Agent Man''

* ThereWasADoor: She uses almost these exact words during her review of [[Film/ResidentEvil the first Resident Evil film]] when the commandos burst through the windows.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: [[invoked]]She describes [[Film/ResidentEvil the Licker]] as a love-child between [[Music/{{Kiss}} Gene Simmons]] and a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]].
