- "OH MY GOD, WHY AM I DRIVING LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT?!"NFKRZ, while raging at a game.
NFKRZ, pronounced "nofuck-ers", real name Roman Abalin, is a Russian commentary YouTuber similar to other users such as Pyrocynical and LeafyIsHere. What makes him notable is his Russian accent and his videos he's made about Keemstar, the infamous creator who runs the DramaAlert channel. Check out his channel here.
Since 2016, his channel has become more focused on introducing Russian and Eastern European culture. In 2022, he fled to Georgia to avoid persecution for opposing the invasion of Ukraine, and since then his focus has been on mocking and debunking Russian propaganda.
Tropes about NFKRZ
- Berserk Button: Clickbait. Also, well-to-do westerners who idolize Russia while being blatantly ignorant about the culture and way of life (especially if they're only using Russian culture as a proxy for their own racism/misogyny/homophobia/etc.).
- Character Catchphrase: He often starts off his videos with "Hello blazers, NFKRZ here!".
- Conscription: Averted due to Roman having asthma.
- Country Matters: Sometimes happens.
- Everybody Has Standards: Despite his dark sense of humor and enjoyment of a lot of internet antics, he thinks clickbait channels crossed a line once they put suicide confession videos on their channels and put giftcard giveaway banners over said videos.
- Funny Foreigner: He comes from Russia.
- Gratuitous Russian: Happens occasionally.
-
He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: His criticisms of the double standards in the international community's reaction to the Israeli invasion of Gaza compared to their reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (particularly the difference in treatment of ordinary citizens of Israel compared to those of Russia as a result of each countries' respective invasions) has earned him quite a few detractors. - Mood Whiplash: Some clickbait channels do this with gift card giveaways. It even went to a point where they put giftcard giveaway banners over suicide confessions.
- Nausea Fuel: In-Universe example. He stated that he almost vomited while watching a video of somebody taking laxatives and filmed himself pooping on the toilet.
- Running Gag:
- Giftcard giveaways.note
- His raging at gaming.
- Clickbait in general.
- People from Moscow being out of touch rich kids.
- Durv.note
- Surprisingly Good English: Made a subject in his videos. Roman speaks with an almost native level of fluency despite having never been to an English-speaking country, never having spoken to an Anglophone outside of the internet, and never formally studying the language past secondary school, even using curses and slang correctly and casually. He credits it to consuming a lot of American and British media as a kid. One Russophone English teacher even cited him as an example of a Russian who grasps the language naturally.
- Verbal Tic: He'll often do a quick high-pitched laugh after saying something morbid or stupid, followed by a cutaway. Sometimes he'll even do so after seriously saying that the subject matter isn't funny.
- War Refugees: Fled to Georgia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Though he isn't technically a refugee, as he just chose to move willingly due to disagreeing with the political and social direction of the country rather than being persecuted by the government.
