5	!!Tropes used by Alex Day:
6
7	%%Further details on the scandal should be subject to the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement.
8	* {{Crossover}}: Sometimes with Charlie, his cousin Dan, Creator/LiamDryden and others.
9	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Formerly, with Charlie [=McDonnell=]/[[WebVideo/CharlieIsSoCoolLike charlieissocoollike]], as before the scandal, they were as thick as thieves. Nowadays, not so much.
10	* IAmTheBand: Plays all the instruments for his solo albums.
11	* ItsEasySoItSucks:[[invoked]] Alex's opinion in "I Hate ''Mario Kart Wii''" is that "winning just feels lame, and losing is where all the fun takes place".
12	* LimitedWardrobe: The guy owns four t-shrts. Literally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vbN5a2oG0A only four]].
13	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: In two parts.
14	** Alex was accused of being emotionally manipulative by several users on Platform/{{Tumblr}} and by some old friends such as Lex and his ex-girlfriend Bekka, as well as his apparent disregard for consent. This led to a huge backlash as well as a large number of subscribers ditching him, and many of his one-time friends went on to declare that they would not be hanging around with him in any capacity. Many Forbidden Planet stores have stopped selling ''TabletopGame/{{Sopio}}'' decks, with a publisher for Alex's first book scrapping it barely weeks before its intended release date, and Alex was forced to go underground for several months, with no tweets or new videos.
15	** An ill-attempted comeback in May 2014 went unnoticed until September, at which point the community rallied against him and demanded he leave permanently. He eventually attempted a full-on comeback in October that year and managed to sell some copies of his book, but was met with stiff resistance by the community at large, including many of his one-time friends. His channel began to lose even more subscribers until it went below one million (his all-time high being 1.1 million) and he declared the channel largely dead in May 2015 in favour of "The Daily Day", another venture which he soon began to ignore in favour of nerimon once again.
16	* TakeThat: [[http://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7CCC01B887254707 Alex Reads Twilight]] is basically a huge one to the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' franchise.
17	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:[[invoked]] "Sonic Doesn't Need a Story" and "''Pokémon'', What Happened To You?" are both songs that deal with this.
18	* WeUsedToBeFriends: He used to be one of the most popular British [=YouTubers=] on the site, and was particularly good friends with Liam Dryden and Charlie [=McDonnell=]. However, the scandal caused both Liam and Charlie, plus many other content creators, to publicly end their friendship with him.
