''[http://www.youtube.com/user/LifesAGlitchTV Life's A Glitch TV]'' (commonly abbreviated as LAGTV) is a [[YouTube]] channel hosted by two [[Canada, Eh?|Canadian guys]]<ref>from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to be exact</ref> named Adam (NovaWar) and Jeff (MaximusBlack). They have done some [[Let's Play|Let's Plays]] for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[
Unlike their contemporaries such as [[Day Nine]], [[Husky Starcraft]] and [[The Cynical Brit|TotalBiscuit]] (all of whom cast games at [[Tournament Play]] level), LAGTV casts replays of [[So Okay It's Average|mid- to high-level Ladder games]] submitted by their fans, in an attempt to analyze in-depth what happens [[Title Drop|when]] [[Whoring|cheese tactics]] [[Title Drop|fail]]. The duo also casts more traditional 1v1 Ladder games, while still keeping them separate from When Cheese Fails 101 proper.
Line 12:
MaximusBlack and NovaWar are known for their insightful analysis, [[Large Ham|upbeat personality]], [[Ho Yay|natural chemistry]] and [[Toilet Humor|poop jokes]]. [[Refuge in Vulgarity|LOTS of poop jokes.]]
▲=== We are looking at some examples for When Cheese Fails 101, so Maximus, [[Catch Phrase|hit me up with that noooooooooooise!]] [[Wacky Sound Effect|*boiyoiyoiyoiyoooing*]] ===
* [[Berserk Button]]: If you are winning a match, you better hope [[Third-Act Stupidity|you don't do something stupid to throw it away in the endgame]], especially if your opponent [[Idiot Ball|has made every mistake under the sun and has essentially given you the match on a silver platter]]. Otherwise MaximusBlack will ''destroy you''.
** It is also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT1VEuTvwVk&t=61s not advised] to send the casters replays of [[Leeroy Jenkins|worker rushes]].
{{quote|
* [[Big OMG]]: A favourite phrase of MaximusBlack's whenever something extraordinary happens, such as {{spoiler|[[No Kill Like Overkill|FireToBlaze's Ultralisk rush]]}} and {{spoiler|[[Colony Drop|Ketroc dropping a Planetary Fortress right next to his opponent's Nexus.]]}}, and especially {{spoiler|[[Instant Win Condition|Exogenesis VS BabyV]].}}
* [[But Not Too Black]]: Frequently [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Maximus, who is quite black in [[Real Life]], but has a regular Canadian accent without so much of a hint of [[Soul Brotha]]. [[Brief Accent Imitation|He'll sometimes slip into stereotypical Soul Brotha when he's really angry though]].
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Both casters have extremely distinct [[Canadian Accents]], right down to saying "aboat" ([[Did Not Do the Research|NOT ABOOT]]) instead of about.
** They tend to make exclusively Canadian pop culture references by accident, failing to realize no one will get them until it's too late. On more than one occasion they've referenced Tim Horton's, and once they even compared a fast unit to [
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several.
** "Good afternoon/evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is NovaWar/MaximusBlack!" "[[Harpo Does Something Funny|And I'm __________]]!"
Line 31 ⟶ 28:
** "Sour about life."
** "Bouse."
** "[[You Fool!]]"
* [[Epic Fail]]: Pretty much everything on When Cheese Fails, although [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-3ZrXOrz_0 some episodes] take this [[Up to Eleven]].
* [[Fan Boy]]: Adam and Jeff are this for The Elder Scrolls.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Zealots are all named Bob, Colossi are Giraffes, and Marines are Billie Jeans. Players with hard-to-pronounce names are also given alternate nicknames; for example, Jadaba becomes known as [[Star Wars|Jabba]].
** If a player reaches 5,000 minerals in the bank (in a game where you are expected to spend minerals CONSTANTLY and never hoard), it's called [[
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: How Jeff and Adam usually portray themselves. There's very occasionally some mild [[Ho Yay]] that gets [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[Hypocrite]]: Players will sometimes complain about their opponent's cheese tactics in the chat, when really said opponent was just fighting the complainer's cheesing with their own cheese.
Line 42 ⟶ 39:
* [[The Merch]]: NovaWar once joked about making [[Fan Nickname|Bob the Zealot]] T-shirts.
* [[Non Sequitur]]: Both Adam and Jeff are prone to these. However, at one point, Adam took it '''[[Catch Phrase|to a]] [[Up to Eleven|whole 'nother level]]''' and basically turned [http://youtu.be/G3daJuXoRV0 an entire episode] into one.
* [[Rage Quit]]: Per typical [[
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: In particuarly obnoxious matches, the casters will break down step-by-step exactly how much their cheese failed.
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: Misspelled chat messages are mocked.

* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: NovaWar says makes MaximusBlack perform builds under crazy restrictions. For instance, there's the "Tripping Balls" build which involves no combat units save for Sentries and hallucinations.
* [[Sound Effect Bleep]]: F-bombs (and/or worse) are usually bleeped out. Videos that aren't bleeped get a special "Mature content warning" preface.
* [[Stunned Silence]]: After ranting and raving about a particularly stupid move, the casters will sometimes suddenly go dead silent.
Line 56 ⟶ 53:
* [[Epic Fail]]: "Failcraft" episodes in the minecraft series show unusual or strong screwups.
* [[Hoist
