Channel Intro

Athena Sherman, better known as her online pen name of Athena P, is a commentary YouTuber who is known for her eccentric makeup looks, her affinity for mannequin butts, and her deep dives into children's media. She provides the voice of Spottie Leonard in the web-series CRiTORA.

On her channel, she talks about the lore of children's shows (and one time commercials, which is currently dead to her), reviews children's books and romance novels (the latter usually about cowboys), reacts to old Public Service Announcements and bad movies (usually drunk), ranks a plethora of things, and so much more.

On her second channel, Athena PP The Memequel (formerly known as A-Meme-A P), she looks at letters and gifts sent to her PO box by fans, as well as talks about some more personal stuff.

She is aware of this page. On March 11th, 2024, she announced her marriage.


Athena P contains examples of:

  • Audience Participation: Her fans send her suggestions for her future lore dives, as well as submitting in examples for her Character Tierlist videos.
  • Catchphrase: Athena says "Buttlovers" at the start of most of her videos.
  • Content Warnings: Many of her videos feature disclaimers that the video is not made for kids, even if they focus on kid's shows.
  • Drunken Montage: In her "Watching ___ (drunk mostly)" series, she, as the name implies, watches things usually drunk. In these videos, she usually has a montage of her getting intoxicated, and even when she isn't, there's still sometimes a montage of her doing something else like drinking water or taking vitamins.
  • Extremely Short Intro Sequence: Every video begins with a recording of a younger Athena yelling at the camera.
  • Fetishes Are Weird: Just because of one photo Athena took with her feet exposed, suddenly they went up on the subreddit "r/Barefootindresses". Athena made a short addressing this, where she said that she can't tell if she's flattered or disturbed.
  • Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Her reason for calling Ming Ming the worse in her "''Wonder Pets! LORE" video. She notes that while she knows Ming Ming is supposed to be snarky and the youngest, making her the one prone to messing up, but Athena says those excuse don't justify Ming Ming's behavior to her after a while as there's no growth in her behavior.
  • Identical Grandson: In Athena's video about the movie Love and Penguins, Athena makes fun of how in the movie, the character Mr. Price shows a picture of his grandfather, only for it is to be just a picture of him in black and white. Athena jokes about this further in how she feels sorry about making fun of this movie and how her great-great-great-grandma would have loved the movie . . . Only for her to show a picture of herself in black and white wearing a small, old-timey hat.
  • Joke of the Butt: From calling her fans "Buttlovers" to smacking a mannequin butt she painted, behinds somehow became a symbol of her channel, all because she jokingly started to rank mannequin butts on Instagram. This came to the point where Stephen Kramer Glickman (known for his role as Gustavo Rocque in Big Time Rush) sent her a pillow in the shape of a butt.
  • Original Character: In some of her videos, Athena makes original characters for the media she's talking about, such as her "Wubsona" for Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!. She also has a character named "Feralton", who's a parody of Alexander Hamilton, specifically Lin-Manuel Miranda's interpretation of him.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Has made a tier list video where she ranked examples of this trope.
  • Release Date Change:invoked Athena used to release her videos on Saturdays, but then each video consistently became delayed, so she no longer has specific dates scheduled for each video.
  • Romance Novel: Athena reads a lot of romance novels on her channel, typically ones about cowboys, like Delores Fossen's books.
  • Screaming at Squick: In a lot of her videos, she points out disturbing things, usually accompanied by a sound effect of Cloe screaming "eewww". In her "Ranking WEIRD scenes based on how UNCOMFORTABLE they make me" video, she even points out the word this very trope and discovers this very website.
  • Uncanny Family Resemblance: In Athena's video "80s Care Bear LORE (feat Rainbott)," her Uncle Skiddlybop shows up, who is really just her in a low bun and glasses.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Athena mentions in her video "80s Care Bear LORE (feat Rainbott)," that in the show they did they this trope by introducing the Sleeping Giant only for him to go into a coma in the same episode. Right after she says this, her Uncle Skiddlybop shows up and then almost immediately dies from a heart attack.
  • ​​Facial Markings: Although these are not natural markings, she is well known for her makeup looks in her videos, which range from small decals to full-on face paint. These looks always are meant to represent the topic of the video.
  • Worthless Currency: Athena P has a printed out dollar bill of her Feralton character on her bulletin board, who supposedly has the same cost as his real world counterpart.
