Pyrocynical is a commentary channel on YouTube where an English guy reviews and reacts to various videos where the cringe is strong. He also does serious rant videos from time to time.
Pyrocynical provides examples of the following tropes:
- Can't Take Criticism: in LIKEWHORES, Pyro was banned from commenting on a gaming channel that abused like requests, for providing constructive criticism of the channel's misleading facecam videos.
- Deadpan Snarker: His usual comedic delivery.
- Follow the Leader: Pyro is frequently accused of being a LeafyIsHere clone (addressing it in MINECRAFT SCHOOL SHOOTING, for example).
- Parodied in VERY SERIOUS VIDEO (MUST WATCH), released on April Fools' 2016. Pyro, realising his derivative content is awful, planned on using other video ideas that are extremely derivative themselves (news reports a la Drama Alert, Minecraft Let's Plays and reaction videos).
- Forced Meme: In kys, he proposed his fanbase to reply to "kys" (Kill yourself) comments with "Fat."
- Hypocritical Humor: in his review of KILLING BEST FRIEND PRANK, Sam Pepper's video intro features loud Dubstep:
 |
Pyro: Ha! What a faggot! What kind of Youtuber uses an intro? |
 |
- Mood Dissonance: in MINECRAFT SCHOOL SHOOTING, he argued that representing a school shooting (a serious and traumatic event) inside Minecraft (a game marketed for a young audience in mind) is in bad taste.
- Occidental Otaku: Discussed in ANIME STREAMER, where the streamer in question tried to deny her being a weeaboo and failed miserably.
- Self-Deprecation: He frequently insults himself and his content, fully aware of its apparent awfulness.
- Volleying Insults: Invoked in a Drama Alert episode (which Pyro uploaded a portion here) where Leafy and Pyro exchanged "playground insults."
