72	!!'''Tropes pertaining to members of the site:'''
73
74	* AsianAndNerdy: ''NJ'', a Filipino-American blogger who often reviews things from and/or featuring Asian-American entertainers.
75	* AuthorAppeal: ''Ryan [=McCarthy=]'' is really into beautiful, paint-like or anime-like art styles if his video game reviews are to be believed.
76	* AwesomeAussie: ''Atreyu''
77	* CloudCuckooLander: ''The Man With No Chin''. Claims it's because of all the drugs he does. Also ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'', to a lesser degree.
78	* ClusterFBomb: Some ''Jerk From Boston'' is really an artist when it comes to it. ''The Lava Buster'' also has quite the foul mouth.
79	* CoolOldGuy: ''Les''.
80	* CrossesTheLineTwice / RefugeInAudacity:[[invoked]] ''MR Smooth's'' style of humor.
81	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: ''The Movie Explorer’s'' brother Oscar is always shown in sepia-tone with fake film-damage.
82	* DepravedBisexual: ''That Long Haired Creepy Guy'' and also ''MR Smooth''. Also ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'' whenever he's on the Manic Expression Digression Session podcast.
83	* DeadpanSnarker: ''Some Jerk From Boston'' and ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'' are notable snarkers.
84	* DeadBabyComedy: ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'' has at times partaken in this particular brand of humor.
85	* HeroicComedicSociopath: ''MR Smooth'', in spades.
86	* InvoluntaryDance: ''WebVideo/DeckerShado'' is forced into an Eighties-style dance number in the park by a movie with an incessantly repeated song.
87	* OlderThanTheyLook: ''MR Smooth'', who claims to actually be in his eighties.
88	* OopNorth: ''Gurning Chimp'', who hails from Salford, England.
89	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Every admin on the site is pretty nice and reasonable, but ''Les'' and site owner ''James Walsh'' stand out.
90	* SharedUniverse: Thanks for interconnecting cameos and crossovers (even including websites like ''Reviewers Unknown'' or ''Website/TeamNightSaturn''), most of the reviewers are part of the Reviewaverse.
91	* SelfDeprecation: As he likes to point out with his name, ''The Man With No Chin'' suffers from a lack of a chin, or at least one that's very small and recessed.
92	* TeamMom: ''The Fanfic Critic''.
93	* ThoseTwoGuys: ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'' and ''The Man With No Chin''.
94	* TheCasanova: ''MR Smooth'', all the way (no {{pun}} intended).
95	* VitriolicBestBuds: ''[=TheOtherDude92=]'' and ''The Man With No Chin''.
96	* VerbalTic: For ''Les'' it's using the word peace at the end of all his messages. Also doubles as his catch phrase.
