8	----
9	!!''Black Critic Guy'''s videos provide examples of:
10
11	* AccentuateTheNegative: Averted, his reviews are well balanced. Even if it's a show he hates, he'll give it credit for its good points.
12	* AllMenArePerverts: Thoroughly dislikes this stereotype and makes sure to call it out in his reviews. He doesn't tend to find anime guys who constantly perv on girls to be funny at all, more disturbing and predatory.
13	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation[[invoked]]: Tends not to appreciate "comedic" voyeurs and molesters, instead seeing them as predatory and disturbed. Several (e.g. the three pervs from ''Anime/GreenGreen'') hold places on his "Worst Characters" lists for this reason.
14	* AuthorAppeal:
15	** Tony is a big fan of romance and romantic comedies.
16	** He likes well done fanservice.
17	** Characters that manage to avoid the usual anime cliches and stand out as unique.
18	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt[[invoked]]: A large amount of any of his Creator/StudioGhibli reviews will be Tony happily gushing about how beautiful they are.
19	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic[[invoked]]: Disney soundtracks. He's made a few videos talking about his favorites.
20	* BerserkButton:
21	** ''Really'' hates incest anime. Sibling incest (whether biological or through marriage) in particular squicks him out beyond belief.
22	** Abuse portrayed as love will often get him shouting in his reviews.
23	* BlackAndNerdy: Yep.
24	* BrokeTheRatingScale: Back when he gave ratings, he'd have a 5 point rating for most anime...then on rare occasions (outside of the month of August), he'd give really bad anime a 0 out of 5. For the most part, this trope has been outright averted since he stopped using a star rating system.
25	* CausticCritic: Any video labelled "Rant" will usually have him acting like this.
26	* DamnedByFaintPraise: In his review of ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'' (which is mostly positive) he says the characters are "not godawful".
27	* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Hates this trope. If a female character forces herself on a male, he ''will'' call her out for it.
28	* DrivenToSuicide: Some of the worst anime he's ever reviewed had him fake sobbing and pointing a (toy) gun at his head.
29	* DudeNotFunny[[invoked]]: Rape, molestation, stalking, etc. when PlayedForLaughs. Tony is not a fan.
30	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Black? Check. Critic? Check. Guy? Check.
31	* FanDisservice: The girls from ''Eiken''. Particularly the young girl with gigantic boobs. Poor Tony has to use his [[VomitDiscretionShot bucket]] several times.
32	* IWorkAlone: Occasionally does crossovers but the majority of his videos feature him alone.
33	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Tony enjoys fanservice so long as he feels it's done well. If it's done badly or just used to try to compensate for a weak plot and characters, he's not interested.
34	* NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat: Said almost word for word when he talks about the increasingly gay vibes between [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Spongebob and Patrick]].
35	* OldShame[[invoked]]: His "Top Ten Worst Male/Female Anime Characters" lists. Two of them in fact. All four are now labeled OBSOLETE on his channel.
36	* OneTruePairing[[invoked]]: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKIH31ORCEg&index=82&list=PLt_pilGCjDpPiOAlLPObJhshrjButct0T Made a list]] of his own.
37	* TheScrappy[[invoked]]: Any character that appears on his Worst lists is this to Tony. Special mention should go to the main characters from ''Kiss×sis'', Makoto and Sekai from ''Anime/SchoolDays'' and the three pervy guys from ''Anime/GreenGreen''.
38	* SirSwearsALot: Sometimes. Depends on how angry the piece of media he's reviewing has made him.
39	* {{Squick}}[[invoked]]:
40	** Incest anime. Also a BerserkButton of his.
41	** The malformed cast of ''Eiken'' had him vomiting several times.
42	* SuddenlyShouting: If something pisses him of badly enough.
43	* TranquilFury: Reserved for the very worst on his show. When Tony's pissed off at something, he shouts. When he's truly furious, he does this.
44	* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic[[invoked]]: He considers the main protagonist from ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' to be this, since she never tries to resist or escape from her vampire abusers but instead just lays back and lets the do whatever they please.
45	* VocalDissonance: He criticized the Disney dub of ''Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' for this saying the voices they chose did not fit the characters.
46	* VomitDiscretionShot: Whenever something disgusts him enough he pretends to throw up offscreen.
47	* WhoWritesThisCrap: He loves to go off on the writers of particularly awful anime.
48	* WriterRevolt[[invoked]]: His "Why I Won't Watch/Review [x]" videos. Usually complete with an over the top pout from Tony in the thumbnail.
