Stuart Ashen/YMMV


 * Audience-Alienating Premise: Well spoken man crouches behind camera tripod and films his hands fiddling with electronic pound shop rubbish.
 * Non Sequitur Scene: In his Huge Screen v.2 review, Breakfast Mess. Just...Breakfast Mess.
 * Celebrity Resemblance: He has a passing resemblence to a bearded John Simm, to the point where the Ashens Action Figure was a modified version of the Master from the new series of Doctor Who (played by Simm)
 * Many have noted his resemblance to Simon Pegg, especially when paired with Guru Larry, who—also noted by many—acts as Ashen's Nick Frost.
 * The Simon Pegg resemblance was visually lampshaded in "An Excellent Newsflash".
 * Ear Worm: His opening theme. Liquid Filth also counts.
 * And the song he improvised on the iPhone's LaDiDa app which he titled Aqful (spelt instead of Awful because of the iPhone's awkward keyboard).
 * Monkey hit his head on a tree, holding a sausage~ Monkey hit his head on a tree, now he's got brain damage~
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: The Godmonster of Indian Flats seems to be very popular, as he's had to address why there haven't been more of him. It's because he was scarcely in one movie. He hopes to grow a guinea pig into a new one.
 * Quincy, the Caterpillar who sings obscure Beatles songs, is also pretty popular.
 * And there's the Excellent Darkhorse himself, Chef Excellence.
 * Mr. Fanservice: Dr. Ashen himself. Anyone?
 * THOSE EYES.
 * Especially in this picture.
 * AN EXCELLENT MEME (Also, "Or something.")
 * The degree to which he's become memetic becomes very clear in his Not 100th Video Contest showcases.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: A Running Gag which appears when he mentions Street Overlord is saying that, "Two men pull their arms and legs off and throw them at each other". Then Mortal Kombat 9 came out, and one of the challenges in the challenge towers has you doing exactly that.
 * I Am Not Shazam: His name is Stuart Ashen. His website (and YouTube channel) is called Ashens. Even Guinness World Records managed to get it wrong (among other things).
 * Less Disturbing in Context: "Oh, god! It's spraying everywhere! The doctor said I wouldn't have that problem any more!"
 * Nausea Fuel: The "Specimen Tube" from the Halloween Sweets Special. From 6:39 onwards.
 * The microwavable pizza snack gets hyped up as this as well. As Stuart himself says, "NOT RECOMMENDED".
 * He proclaims the German creme egg-lookalikes to be the most disgusting Poundland food yet, and then whilst wondering what was going on (as he'd expected them to at least be OK because even they couldn't screw up something that simple), he notices a maggot lying on one of them.
 * Two words: Instant Cupcake.
 * Nightmare Fuel: The non-Bart Simpson that adorns the box of Huge Screen v2.
 * The dissonant sounding "God Save the Queen" at the end of the Royal Wedding Tat review. At least before it's apparent that the music is "breaking".
 * Noseybonk
 * Nightmare Retardant: The 16mm film's graininess and lack of sound makes it seem creepy, but paper signs that he encounters says that four news videos will be posted each month in the near future.
