9	[[caption-width-right:350:"There are no stupid questions, just stupid videos."]]Krzysztof Jan "Kris" Gonciarz, born 19th June 1985, is a Polish Website/YouTube personality, writer, director and vlogger. He started writing about video games in 1999 and started making videos in 2008.
10
11	He's probably best known in his native country as the host of a comedy Q&A show, ''Zapytaj Beczkę'' (''Ask Barrel''), in which he answers questions asked by his viewers, while annoyed by his brother, Gimbus (also played by Gonciarz).
12
13	His other works include ''Akademia Pieniądza'' (''The Money Academy''), a parody of motivational coaches, introducing Krzysztof Kanciarz, a KnowNothingKnowItAll giving "free advice worth 5000$", vlogs, and numerous travelling videos. As of 2014, he has all but moved to Tokyo.
14
15	He also teamed up with a Polish-American, Kasia, as The Uwaga Pies, and makes travelling videos in English.

Some of the videos on his main channel have English subtitles.
18
19	!! His works provide an example of:
20
21	%%* ActingForTwo: Numreous skits in ''Zapytaj Beczkę''; the character of Gimbus evolved from a skit like that.
22	%%* AffectionateNickname: Gonciu.
23	%%* AlterEgoActing: The host of ZB is basically Gonciarz himself.
24	%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Gimbus, albeit [[VagueAge not necessarily younger.]]
25	%%* ArtifactTitle: No one calls him Barrel anymore. Lampshaded in one of the episodes, in which a barrel gets asked why Kris answers the questions.
26	* BilingualBonus: The Uwaga Pies alludes to the Polish expression "uwaga, pies" (beware of dog).
27	* CatchPhrase: "There are no stupid questions, just stupid videos."
28	%%* FirstNameBasis[=/=]LastNameBasis: Depends. People asking him questions almost universally refer to him as Krzysiu, the diminutive of his name. Everywhere else, he's referred to as Gonciarz[=/=][[AffectionateNickname Gonciu]].
29	* FlatCharacter: Gimbus's entire spiel is complaining about Gonciarz, and, by extension, everything else. Lampshaded a few times.
30	* FreezeFrameBonus: The "unanimous opinion" (a random comment from the video before) is shown at the beginning of every video, usually for a single frame.
31	%%* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Both Kanciarz and Gimbus. The former is a ConMan, the latter is a SmallNameBigEgo.
32	* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: Combined in one episode of ZB with DontExplainTheJoke:
33	--> '''Gonciarz:''' As a left-handed man myself, if you know what I mean...
34	--> (the word "masturbation" briefly flashes on the screen)
35	%%* MeaningfulName: "Kanciarz" means "scammer" in Polish.
36	%%* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Gimbus's explanation for everything.
37	%%* OnlySaneMan: Kris, compared to Kanciarz and Gimbus.
38	%%* RunningGag: Numerous. Sadly, most of them don't translate well into English.
39	%%* SmallNameBigEgo: Gimbus.
40	%%* SpecialGuest: Episodes 76 to 80 and 98 to 101 were done by various Polish Website/YouTube celebrities.
41	%%* StylisticSuck: ''Anything'' made by/for Gimbus.
42	%%* TakeThatAudience: Gimbus, which is an exaggerated depiction of the most immature part of Gonciarz's fanbase.
