4	-->- Oliver Tree, "Hurt"
5
6	Oliver Tree Nickell (born June 29, 1993) is a bizarre AlternativeHipHop musician and professional scooter rider.
7
8	Debuting in 2017 with his viral hit song "When I'm Down", he has reached acclaim for his unique vocals and productions, as well as being a genuinely funny man. Even [[Music/{{Radiohead}} Thom Yorke ]] approved of him.
9
10	And yes, he is aware of the fact he looks like [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe1 Vector]].
11	----
12	!!Tropes Oliver Tree and his music/music videos have:
13	* AbsurdlyLongLimousine: The music video for "Cash Machine" starts off with one. As does the video for "Bounce".
14	* AlbumTitleDrop: On "Cowboys Don't Cry" off of "Cowboy Tears":
15	-->''Just an outlaw who only had one friend\
16	I wonder if I'll ever see her face again\
17	Dark clouds hanging over, they follow where I've been\
18	My cowboy tears are still blowing in the wind''
19	* AlliterativeTitle: Some song titles, such as "'''M'''ircale '''M'''an" and "'''B'''alloon '''B'''oy".
20	* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: Close. There's a ''suitcase'' full of money featured in the video for "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Suitcase Full Of Money]]".
21	* CoolShades: Sports these in practically all of his music videos
22	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He rivals Music/{{Bjork}} in terms of weirdness.
23	* ClusterFBomb: Has a song simply called "Fuck".
24	* DeathByAmbulance: What happens to him at the end of the "Miracle Man" video.
25	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: A TV in the background of the "Life Goes On" video directed by Cole Bennett can be seen playing the original "Life Goes On" video.
26	* KayfabeMusic: The scooter riding windbreaker-clad persona is actually a character named Turbo, which dates back to his days of making videos on Vine. Whenever he is invited for an interview, there is a near one hundred percent chance that Oliver will be trolling the interviewer in character. While Turbo is the most popular and iconic, he is not the only persona of Oliver's; there are others such as Cowboy Tree and Comrade Tree.
27	* LikesOlderWomen: Portrayed as such in the video for "Swing & A Miss".
28	* LocationSong: "Welcome to LA".
29	* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Gets in a car crash in the video for "Miracle Man" and simply walks it off.
30	* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Turbo is known for being an arrogant asshole as a shtick to his character and can often seem to be rude in interviews and other publicity stunts, but those who have met Tree in real life say he's actually very nice and humble.
31	* MesACrowd: The music video for "Life Goes On" is set at a party comprised entirely of him.
32	* MouthFullOfSmokes: He's seen doing so in the new video for "Life Goes On".
33	* OcularGushers: Has these in the videos for both "Swing & A Miss" and "Voices", the latter of which being a collaboration between him and Music/{{KSI}}.
34	* OffWithHisHead:
35	** Gets his head shot off during the music video for "Hurt". ''[[TankGoodness From a tank, no less!]]''
36	** The head of a pillow shaped like Oliver gets chainsawed off in the "Fuck" video.
37	* TheOner: The "Official Unofficial" music video for "Bury Me Alive" is mostly one, barring a few small cuts at the end.
38	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Absolutely inverted. Even out of character, Oliver is an extremely silly individual, as evidenced by his video with [[WebVideo/TinyMeatGang Cody Ko]] where the two look at [=TikToks=] of women getting the "ick" from men. Though he's noticeably ''much'' more down-to-earth than his arrogant persona would have you believe.
39	-->'''Oliver:''' He's wearing shorts!
40	* PianoDrop: Manages to snappily avoid one in the video for "Miracle Man."
41	* ProductDisplacement: In some music videos, the Montbell logo on Oliver's iconic windbreaker is digitally removed. This would later be avoided with Oliver starting to wear a merch replica with his name in place of the Montbell logo.
42	* SurrealMusicVideo: Most of his videos are these:
43	** The video for "Hurt", begins with Oliver in a body bag, being put into an ambulance (while he's singing). Then, we see him emerge from a coffin, get his ''head blown off'' by a ''tank'', [[MindScrew and several hummingbirds fly out from his neck]]. It ends with him crucified to a giant scooter, rolling down the street, before he hits a rock and lands on a car [[GroundhogDayLoop seen at the start of the video]].
44	* TitleByYear: "1993".
45	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Oliver loves Flamin' Hot Cheetos. He bathes in them and stuffs his luggage full of them, and they even appear in the comic book ''Oliver Tree vs. Little Ricky'' as [[BlandNameProduct Treetos]], the only food he seems to need.
46	* YourMakeupIsRunning: Parodied at the end of the video for "Cowboys Don't Cry", since Oliver isn't even wearing makeup.
