6	Andre Meadows is a black man who loves cartoons, old-school video games, Nickelodeon, and feet, and gives his rants and opinions on them on his Website/YouTube show titled ''Andre the Black Nerd''. In addition to {{review}}s and thoughts, he also has "Awkward Talks with Girls", where he talks to nerdy women about various nerdy things, and inevitably asks them if he can rub their feet. He is often seen wearing nerd glasses and a shirt with some video game or cartoon-themed aspect, and sometimes a pixelated tie.

15	!!This show contains examples of:
16
17	* {{Adorkable}}: [[invoked]] Discussed. He finds cute dorkiness attractive, so much so that he made a video of the top 7 most adorkable cartoon characters the #1 of which was Velma from ''Scooby Doo''. Andre commented that Linda Cardellini playing Velma in the live action adaptations of ''Scooby Doo'' induced mind-blowing amounts of adorkable to an already adorkable character.
18	* BlackAndNerdy: Andre proudly calls himself the black nerd. He's a gamer and animation fan. The title of his Website/YouTube show is a dead give-away.
19	* TheCameo:
20	** Andre made an appearance in ''Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures''.
21	** He guest-starred in a Vsauce video that marked the 25th anniversary of Mario's creation.
22	** He made a guest appearance for WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick when she reviewed ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir''.
23	** He participated in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review of ''{{Film/The Smurfs}}'', and with him and WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd for the ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'' review.
24	** He made a short cameo in ''Film/SharknadoThe4thAwakens'' as a train conductor.
25	* CatchPhrase:
26	** His intro: "Hi I'm Andre and I'm a black nerd."
27	** Intro to the rant videos: "Hi I'm Andre and I'm a black nerd. AND I'M ANGRY!"
28	** "I'm gonna give you the good, I'm gonna give you the bad, and I'm gonna give you the nerdy."
29	** His outro: "Love ya like a play cousin! I'm outie 5000! Chain-Chomp-Yomp".
30	* HashtagForLaughs: One of Black Nerd Comedy's most recurrent RunningGag is [[AC:[=#SmoothDonatello=]]], which Andre sings each time Donatello from ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' makes something to impress his crush April O'Neil. Eventually, he started to sing variations of the hashtag each time a character hits on his/her love interest [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience (with the appropriate font color)]].
31	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' got him especially hyped for the MCU version of ComicBook/BlackPanther and his [[Film/BlackPanther2018 eventual solo movie]], and also earned praise for having three black superheroes in it with distinct backstories, powersets and personalities without ever resorting to the ElectricBlackGuy cliché or ethnic stereotypes.
32	* NerdGlasses: Andre wears a pair of glasses, which he holds and wiggles when he says "I'm gonna give you the nerdy".
33	* OlderThanHeLooks: Andre [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this in his video about ''Film/JurassicWorld.'' Despite his hobbies, he's older than he looks and he notes that so many people he know were raving about how they saw the original Jurassic Park when they were little kids, only for him to tell the viewers he saw it when it came out because he was in High School.
34	* SamusIsAGirl: In his showcase of his {{Toys/Amiibo}} collection, he mentions an employee at Toys 'R Us thought Samus was a guy. He then {{lampshade\|d}}s this.
35	* SharedUniverse: Because of his crossovers and cameos for reviewers, he's part of the Reviewaverse.
36	* SelectiveStupidity: Andre begins his review of ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 2016}}'' by telling the story of the backlash he got for his review of the film's trailer, which came from ''both sides'' who each chose to only focus on one half of his review that took a middle-ground "positives and negatives" approach.
37	%% * SelfDeprecation: He'll utilize this sort of comedy occasionally.
38	* StupidSexyFlanders:
39	** Rather blatantly expresses feeling attracted toward Captain America in his review of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''
40	** In his Power Rangers audition tape, he takes time to hit on Naomi Scott, Becky G...and Ludi Lin.
41	** In his review of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', he outright admits this toward Capper.
