Hello, I'm a British Person.

Mike Jeavons, or MikeJ, is a British person and a reviewer on That Guy With The Glasses. His shows include Shameful Sequels, which looks at inferior movie sequels and Hang on a Second, which is essentially a show about Fridge Logic. More recently he has begun a show looking at the output of The Asylum in an uncharacteristically positive So Bad It's Good fashion, called Asylum Seeker. He has his own site here and he can be found here, here and here.

Mike J provides examples of the following tropes:
  • Anachronism Stew: According to him, Food was invented when some guy got bored killing kittens for lulz and ate one, England is cast in total darkness every so often, there is a 87 foot lemur (which is really a whole bunch of lemurs) in the countryside, and goats are the dominant species.
  • Blatant Lies: His "facts" about Britain.
  • Brother-Sister Incest: Mentions he just finshed having sex with his sister in his first review, uses it to Book End "season 1" in fact.

"Not really! (Beat) It was my cousin!"

    • He jokes about him and his sister having children.
    • Really, it's a bit of a Running Gag. Apparently, it applies to all British people, as seen in the Halloween 2 review, where special guest star Welshy proved his British-ness by claiming to have had sex with his sister, a sheep, and cheese on toast.
  • The Cameo: Ashens, Sad Panda and Welshy all briefly appear in his crossover review with Film Brain.
  • Cardboard Pal: In one episode he has a cardboard cutout face of Film Brain on a stick with a ventriloquist's-dummy mouth; all it ever says is Film Brain's Catch Phrase "SYMBOLISM!!"
    • This has since become a recurring 'character', and his Ace Ventura Jr. review also had "The Nostalgia Critic", which was actually an obviously female guest wearing a cardboard Nostalgia Critic mask.
  • Cargo Ship: With aforementioned cardboard cutout. In-universe.
  • Catch Phrase:

Hello, I am a British person.
