{{Characters need descriptions}}
The cast of the [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] second anniversary special ''Kickassia''.
----
=== [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] ===
* [[Ax Crazy]]: He {{spoiler|buys 20 tons of dynamite so, in the event of someone trying to usurp him, he can ''blow up the entire nation''}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Is increasingly portrayed as one up until the final episode, where ''everyone'' turns against him.}}
Line 8 ⟶ 9:
* [[The Caligula]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: In {{spoiler|his fight with Insano}}.
* [[Drunk Withwith Power]]: We find out later that his desperation for power, ''any'' kind of power, is what made him try the takeover in the first place.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[Evil Overlord]]
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Large Ham]]
* {{spoiler|[[Power Floats]]: Parodied.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|Dr. Insano: "You do realise you're just standing on your tippy-toes, don't you?"}}}}
* [[Not So Harmless]]: In his reviews, he's a hopeless antisocial loser who never gets his way. Here...not so much.
* {{spoiler|[[Shock and Awe]]}}
* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Although he's decidedly less of a hero after the takeover.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: To some, both the scene with Ma-Ti (" {{spoiler|A president has no friends}}") and the shocked-puppy look after he {{spoiler|accidentally kills Santa Christ}}.
* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: The reason {{spoiler|why Team TGWTG rebels against him. That and the dynamite.}}
* [[Trigger Happy]]: Comes back to bite him in the ass when he panics and {{spoiler|shoots Santa Christ}}.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Political power, but it still counts. As he settles more into his role as leader, his sanity slips further and further away until {{spoiler|he decides to rig Kickassia with 20 tonnes of dynamite.}}
 
=== Kevin Baugh ===
* [[Apple of Discord]]: When undermining the government of Kickassia.
* [[As Himself]]
Line 37 ⟶ 38:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Lampshaded repeatedly.
{{quote| '''Nostalgia Critic:''' All right President Baugh, hand over Molossia and nobody gets hurt.<br />
'''Baugh:''' I'm not the President. I'm Fritz Von Baugh, Minister of Making Things Orderly.<br />
'''The Cinema Snob:''' But... it's ''so'' obviously you! }}
** In [[Real Life]], he has [http://www.molossia.org/generalinfo.html several other] personae, including Paddy O'Baugh, Achmed Al-Baugh, Angus MacBaugh, and Juan de la Baugh, who make up his cabinet.
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Teleport Spam]]
 
=== [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] ===
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]
* [[The Baroness]]: Parodied. {{spoiler|She calls herself "the Rulenatrix of Kickassia" before her [[Evil Laugh]].}}
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Critic's not the only one who doesn't realize she's nowhere near as nice as she's pretending to be.
* [[The Dragon]]: She's officially the Vice-President and [[Number Two]] after taking over, it can be argued she's something of a [[Co-Dragons|Co-Dragon]] with Film Brain.
** [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]]/ [[The Starscream]]: She's literally the Nostalgia Critic's [[Number Two]] and is very obviously trying to overthrow him.
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: {{spoiler|Of the Scheming Vice President variety. She spends most of the special trying to off the Nostalgia Critic.}}
* [[Evil Laugh]]: In part 6, {{spoiler|when she attempts to claim Kickassia as her own}}.
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* [[Straw Feminist]]: She dips into this a little as "Nostalgia Palin", blaming people thinking she's now an idiot on prejudice.
 
=== [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] ===
* [[Big No]]: At [[Marz Gurl]]'s [[Disney Death]].
* [[Evil Laugh]]: In part 6.
Line 70 ⟶ 71:
* [[I Am Not Spock]]: A lot of people apparently thought that Linkara was switching into an [[Star Trek Elite Force|Ensign Munro]] persona when he donned his Starfleet uniform; Lewis denied this on his Twitter, saying that it was just Linkara in a Starfleet uniform.
* [[I Don't Like You and You Don't Like Me]]: To Angry Joe in part 5.
{{quote| '''Linkara:''' Joe, Joe, Joe, I know we've had our differences in the past...<br />
'''Angry Joe:''' We have?<br />
'''Linkara:''' Yes. I don't like you very much.<br />
'''Angry Joe:''' (sadly) Oh... }}
* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]: His tactical mastery comes from having seen the film ''[[Patton]]'' over a hundred times.
Line 81 ⟶ 82:
** He's also the earliest objector to the entire invasion of Kickassia, but ends up going along with it.
** {{spoiler|Near the end of part 6 he temporarily seems to abandon his sanity and tries to declare himself ruler of Kickassia}}
* [[The Smart Guy]]: He clearly fancies himself as one, trying to set himself up as the [[Only Sane Man]] and [[The Strategist]], although by the last episode it's clear that he was evolving into [[The Evil Genius|an Evil Genius]].
* [[The Strategist]]: Thanks to the power of [[Patton]].
 
=== [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]] ===
* [[Battle Cry]]: "[[Red Dawn|WOLVERINES!!]]"
* [[Berserk Button]]: He tries to avoid the topic of Dr. Insano as much as he can, but when people press him about the [[Mad Scientist]] he responds with some truly hamtastic [[Big No|Big No's]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Dr. Insano's red.
** This Spoony is a lot calmer and quieter in this series (unless he's being pestered about Dr. Insano) compared to how he usually acts. {{spoiler|He also counts as this towards Dr. Insano.}}
Line 99 ⟶ 100:
* [[The Woobie]]
 
=== Dr. Insano ===
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
* [[Cartoonish Supervillainy]]: Par for the course when it comes to Insano, really.
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]
{{quote| ''[[Star Wars|"I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further...]] ooh, another alteration! You didn't pray hard enough!"''}}
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Complete Monster]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in a hilarious manner. His introduction is [[Nightmare Fuel]]-worthy, the character himself is described as a megalomaniac who wants to rule the world, he's constantly associated with madness and discord, Spoony himself is ''terrified'' at the possibility that he could break loose and vehemently refuses to {{spoiler|"give in to the madness"}}... Everything that we hear about this guy indicates that Dr. Insano is ''not'' playing around anymore. [[They Plotted a Perfectly Good Waste|As it turns out]], this was ''all'' hyperbole for the sake of [[Rule of Funny]]. [[Cartoonish Supervillainy|He's still a Cartoonish Supervillain]].
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: This series added yet ''another'' explanation as to who Dr. Insano is. That didn't stop some trying to piece it all together, though.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]] In the aftermath of his fight with N. Bison: "I feel like a puppy {{spoiler|that's been raped by a bulldozer."}}
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Versus Evil]]: When he fights The Nostalgia Critic.}}
* '''[[For Science!]]!''': It's ''[[Captain Obvious|Insano]]''. What did you expect?
* {{spoiler|[[Jekyll and Hyde]]: The Hyde to Spoony's Jekyll.}}
* [[Large Ham]]: His first appearance includes mad cackling and ''dramatic lightning''. It only goes uphill from there.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Emphasis on "mad" this time around, since he rather surprisingly doesn't use any of his patented gadgets.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Spoony's blue.
* {{spoiler|[[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: His "can" is Spoony}}.
** In the Bayeux Tapestry style credits, he can be seen {{spoiler|leaping out of the crumpled husk of Spoony's body.}}
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Like in Spoony's own videos, Insano has lightning-powers that he can use through thanks to the power of '''SCIENCE'''.
Line 126 ⟶ 127:
* {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side]]}}
 
=== [[Phelous]] ===
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The fridge-slamming. Doug was actually pretty scared.
{{quote| '''Doug:''' (breaking character) ... you're ''really'' going to kill me, aren't you?}}
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 135 ⟶ 136:
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name Is Not Phallus]]
* [[Only Sane Man]]
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: [[Your Mileage May Vary]], but he seems to be a lot more accepted by the fans after this special.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: He's the one who comes up with [[Glad I Thought of It|the Nostalgia Critic's better policies]].
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]
 
=== [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]] ===
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Even ''he'' thinks playing Michael Bolton music {{spoiler|to drive the Critic out of the government house}} is going too far.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: In part 6.
Line 147 ⟶ 148:
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: Is hilariously ineffective invading Molossia, {{spoiler|and doesn't even try to resist his arrest and banishment}}.
* [[Oh Crap]]: When he sees how crazy Critic has become, and seconds before {{spoiler|Film Brain springs a trap on him.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Put Onon a Bus]]: Was banished in part 4.}}
** {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back|He returns in part 6, though]].}}
* [[The Smart Guy]]/[[The Evil Genius]]: Realized the depth of the problems in Kickassia's government as early as Part 3 and was the only one really trying to do something about it. {{spoiler|When he returns from banishment in part 6, he makes sure to take care of the Critic's dynamite ''first'', rather than just rushing in and hoping to be able to kill or disable Critic before he can use it like everyone else.}}
* [[Smug Snake]]: It's not really played up, but it's there.
{{quote| ''Those with brains usually have power over the brainless.''}}
* [[Straight Man]]: To most of the rest of the cast.
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]
* [[Tear Jerker]]: {{spoiler|His banishment}} is sometimes considered to be this.
 
=== [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] ===
* [[Adult Child]]: Well, he is the youngest of the cast, but still...
* [[Base Breaker]]: He's either hilarious and [[Moe|adorable]] or just [[The Scrappy|annoying]]. There don't seem to be any middling opinions.
Line 170 ⟶ 171:
* [[Moe]]
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Inverted, actually. He has said in commentaries that in reality he is a lot closer to his Kickassia personality than his one in ''Bad Movie Beatdown''.
* [[Professional Butt -Kisser]]: Tries to become this in the new government.
 
=== [[Marz Gurl]] ===
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: With [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] in part 2, even though it was [[Played for Laughs]].
{{quote| '''Linkara''': * {{spoiler|cradling [[Marz Gurl]] after she's hit with a missile}}* Take comfort in my masculine arms!}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]
 
=== [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Angry Joe]] ===
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[The Big Guy]]/[[The Brute]]: As head of the military and the guy packing all the weaponry.
* [[Cut His Heart Out Withwith a Spoon]]
* [[Firing in Thethe Air Aa Lot]]
* [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath]]
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]
* [[Large Ham]]
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
* [[Violence Is the Only Option]]
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Tries to use his guns as a solution to every problem. Including the [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence|Insurmountable Chain Link Fence]]:
{{quote| '''Angry Joe:''' *Fires at fence* [[No Indoor Voice|IT'S NO USE!!! THE BULLETS ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THE HOLES!!!]] *Continues firing at fence*}}
 
=== Handsome Tom ===
* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: He had a prominent role the first anniversary brawl. Here, he barely has a speaking role.
* [[You ArePlaying a Tree Charlie Brown|YouPlaying Are Aa Flagpole, Charlie Brown]]: And a horse, too!
* [[Third Person Person]]: "This is a sad day for Handsome Tom."
* [[You Are a Tree Charlie Brown|You Are A Flagpole, Charlie Brown]]: And a horse, too!
 
=== 8-Bit Mickey ===
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Has more lines than you'd think, especially considering Tom's lack of importance.
* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 206 ⟶ 207:
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: "And 8-Bit Mickey!"
 
=== [[Jew Wario]] ===
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: As Yanki J.
* [[Batter Up]]: While briefly under his Yanki J personality.
Line 214 ⟶ 215:
* [[Think of the Children]]
 
=== Lee ===
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Due to never having been {{spoiler|3-D}} before.
* [[Hulking Out]]
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: On President Baugh. He later tries to do this to the Critic and is successful for awhile, until he experiences his first ever [[Groin Attack]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|"It's 3D Lee!"}}
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sense Freak]]}}
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: His {{spoiler|3-D transformation}}.
 
=== Bennett The Sage ===
 
* [[Artistic License Biology]]: He's a bad doctor. Let's leave it at that.
{{quote| '''Bennett The Sage:''' Heh, what do you know? The chart was upside down.}}
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Brick Joke]]: The reason he deduced that while holding an Uzi, one will not die, apart from [[Insane Troll Logic]], is that in the previous chapter, {{spoiler|he survived one of President Baugh's cannon blasts just by ducking while holding an Uzi.}}
* [[Cut His Heart Out Withwith a Spoon]]: His rather graphic description of how to {{spoiler|kill the Critic}} makes the cast [[Double Take]] when they hear it. [[Squick|Try]] [[Nightmare Fuel|visualising it]].
** [[Mythology Gag]]: Given the kind of fanfics he reviews, is it any wonder he came out with it?
** The outtakes have plenty more suggestions like that, including the surprisingly simple [[Just Shoot Him|I say we kill him]].
* [[I Just Shot Marvin in Thethe Face]]: Uses ''the barrel of his Uzi'' to wipe away a tear during {{spoiler|Cinema Snob's banishment}}.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Apparently, when holding an Uzi, you will not die. {{spoiler|Although granted, Sage probably can't find any other explanation for why he is alive after a near miss from President Baugh's cannon.}}
 
=== [[Benzaie]] ===
* [[Companion Cube]]: Beary.
* [[Death Glare]]: Linkara ''better'' not be a Nazi!
Line 242 ⟶ 243:
* [[The Heart]]
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Does this to Spoony. Definitely a parody.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: His farewell to Beary. {{spoiler|Don't worry, he's [[Not Quite Dead]].}}
 
=== [[Paw Dugan]] ===
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Although still small, compared with his role in the first anniversary Brawl (where he had two lines), his role here is considerably expanded.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of Howard Stern and other shock jocks. This is his official role in the Kickassian government.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Suggests playing Michael Bolton music to {{spoiler|drive the Critic out of the Government House}}. This evokes an [[Even Evil Has Standards]] reaction from ''everyone''.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: He believes that he's doing the people of Kickassia a favour since, "when people agree with angry show hosts on the radio it makes them feel better about themselves."
 
=== [[Lord Kat]] ===
* [[Hilarious Outtakes]]: Including a bit where he ad-libs how the Kickassia government will make its money from pimping out Benzaie in Vegas.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: It was originally planned for him to have a much larger role, but the commentaries revealed that his part was trimmed down to almost nothing due to his injuries during the first day of shooting.
* [[Straight Man]]: From what little we see and commentary hints, he was possibly going to be one of the straightest characters. For example, while most of the cast was struggling with and climbing over the [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]], Lord Kat was simply going to take two steps over and go through the gate.
 
=== Ma-Ti from ''[[Captain Planet]]'' ===
* [[Because Destiny Says So]] / [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: "'''You can't change your destiny, you can only [[Large Ham|chooooose]] to meeet iiit!'''"
* [[The Conscience]]: Judging by their relationship there and how ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' seems to be in canon with ''[[Kickassia]]'', he was most likely just a personification of N. Bison's good side.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] / [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Tries to get across to N. Bison what a douche he's being.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]
 
=== Santa Christ ===
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Doubly subverted when the [[Clap Your Hands If You Believe]] sequence fails, but he comes back after three days anyway.}}
* [[Base Breaker]]: He's either [[Jesus Was Way Cool|way cool]] and a fitting part of the special or a [[God Mode Sue]] who should never have even existed. Whatever you thought of him before, ''Kickassia'' won't change your mind.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Subverted!}}
* [[The Messiah]]: Well ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|duh]]''.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: And, unlike many other examples in this series, {{spoiler|he ''stays'' that way through virtue of never being corrupted by any potential gain of power.}}
* [[Team Dad]]: {{spoiler|Hugs Film Brain, gives Nostalgia Chick ''Othello'' and gets the whole group to admit they were wrong to take over ''Molossia'' and agree to go back to their online shows.}}
