1''Why Not Janice?'' is the inspiring story of a {{Fangirl}} struggling with internet addiction and insomnia, and the touching tale of her non-recovery and the last time she (almost) spiraled into obsession and madness.
2
3It is actually a weekly podcast, with joined Twitter account, in the form of the vlog of a quintessential fangirl, Janice. You can find it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmhwv_lO5Eo here]].

6!!This program features examples of:
7%%* ActingForTwo
8%%* AintTooProudToBeg: Janice, for subscribers. It works.
9* AlphaBitch: She seems to be fascinated by them. She enjoys watching ''Film/MeanGirls'', quoted an oddly specific ''Series/{{Awkward}}'' episode, and has a terrible AlphaBitch character. [[{{Subtext}} This may originate from Janice's ''cringe-worthy'' experience at school]].
10%%* ArtifactOfAttraction: Janice with her MacBook pro.
11%%* {{Bookworm}}: Janice is one when she isn't on the internet.
12* BuffySpeak: Constantly. It's even used in her trademark captions. When spoken it can be done with (at least in some cases) the intent of showing just how disconnected she is with the outside world, being incapable to describe things like trees and usual conversation topics.
13%%* CloudCuckooLander
14%%* CosmeticCatastrophe: Used on her mean, mean RichBitch character. Later the subject of her Blindfolded Make Up Challenge.
15%%* CrazyCatLady: A sympathetic, sometimes reasonable example. Generally expressed in a "I love cats more than people!" way.
16%%* CuteAndPsycho: Her depiction of her mother.
17%%* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Janice yet again.
18* {{Fandom}}: Discussed for a whole video. When made insane, the fans are still easily classifiable and recognizable due to their scene obsession.
19* {{Fangirl}}: Not only of ''Literature/HarryPotter'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', ''Literature/LesMiserables'' (probably) and Supernatural - rivalling the wonderful Maria Lu of ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' fame - but also of half the male cast. Summed up rather nicely here :
20-->'''Janice''': The amount of celebrities I would offer my body to without thinking twice is mind-boggling !
21%%* FriendlessBackground: Not so much, but she still feels lonely.
22%%* FunWithSubtitles: Her trademark, quite possibly. This is also perhaps the only way her BeneathTheMask hyper-snarker is let out.
23%%* GenkiGirl: Janice, whenever she mentions an actor or a show she will readily fangirl on...
24* {{Jerkass}}: Janice's clone, though not to evil twin extent. More ServileSnarker-ish.
25** For instance:
26--->'''Janice''': We're supposed to be making a video !\
27'''Janice Clone''': Sorry. You were speaking and then I got bored.
28** Later:
29--->'''Janice Clone''': I have better things to do than entertaining people.
30** Still later:
31--->'''Janice''': Is there anything you regret ?\
32'''Janice Clone''': Yes. Agreeing to work with that thing.
33** One last example to help that OverlyLongGag:
34--->'''Janice Clone''': Why are you so obsessed with me?\
35'''Janice''': Did you seriously just quote ''Film/MeanGirls''?
36%%* LampshadeHanging: With acnea. Again when she is using WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall jokes.
37* LazyBum: Janice describes herself as this, despite being clearly hard-working when it comes to her videos. And devoted to fangirling.
38%%* MoodSwinger: Janice.
39%%* ProperlyParanoid: ''No wonder I have those trust issues...''
40%%* RichBitch: A blunt, materialistic CardCarryingVillain side-character she meets after Christmas.
41%%* ShoutOut: Lampshaded trope.
42%%* TheStinger: Usually, showing the bloopers.
43* VoiceOfTheLegion : Janice's mom's terrible Voice Of Doom, when telling her to go to bed despite her strange cycle sleep.
44* {{Womanchild}}: Janice considers herself one:
45-->'''Hater''': You're, like, seventeen, girl. What so you think is so great with bubbles?
46-->'''Janice''': I've got the mental age of a five-year old ! ''(opens bubble-thing)'' Leave me alone ! ''(starts playing with her stuff)''
