[[Awesome McCoolname|Phelan Porteous]] is a Canadian guy that reviews really bad horror movies.

▲Starting with his review of ''House of the Dead,'' he seemed to have unofficially decided to start calling his review show "Phelous Who", since that title keeps popping up during a short credits sequence in homage to [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] (and as part of the running gag that he keeps resurrecting as well as various time-related tomfoolery.) However, with his newer reviews, that seems to have been retired (one explanation he gave was that he wanted to make better use of the title cards drawn for his episodes.)
----
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: The review of [[Stephen King]]'s ''Boogey Man'', ends with Phelous regenerating into a cat, and one of his dead selves turning into Phelous D1, hinting at a new expansive storyline for the mid-Review sketches. The next review, ''[[Jeepers Creepers]]'', starts out with Cat-Phelous turning into a human again via a [[Deus Ex Machina]], shorty after which he nonchalantly shoots Phelous D1, ending the storyline in less than 3 minutes.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: He notes this in a scene from ''Day of the Dead 2'' where one of the zombified characters monolouges after getting shot, only to be told the others can hear him ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]). Phelous then believes [[They Just Didn't Care|the movie just gave up]].
** Also in House of the Dead with this exchange
{{quote|
'''Capitan Kirk:''' Whaddaya think I'm tryin' to do, ya fucking moron? }}
** He admits the [[DVD Commentary]] for House of the Dead: [[Blatant Lies|Funny]] Version is funny, albeit unintentionally.
Line 23:
** [[Meta Guy|Phelous himself]]. Frequently.
* [[Adorkable]]:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: ''Mortal Komedy'', of ''[[
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Selouph, Phelous's allegedly [[Evil Counterpart]] who reviews romantic comedies.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Phelous D1, allegedly. Phelous himself seems to [[Unknown Rival|keep forgetting he exists]].
* [[Arc Words]]: "Real", and all variations there of (such as "really" "real" and "for reals".
* [[Author Appeal]]: [[
** Santa's Slay, starring [[Goldberg]], has him repeatedly use Goldberg's wrestling theme whenever Santa shows up, along with other wrestling themes when appropriate, as well as wanting [[Jobber|Gillberg]] to show up as Santa's evil elf.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Especially in crossovers.
Line 33:
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: [[Obscurus Lupa]] uses a garlic sandwich to turn {{spoiler|Phelous D1 into a harmless [[Cute Kitten]]}}.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He has a whole keyboard of 'em:
** The plot twist in ''I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer'':
{{quote|
** [[Eli Roth]] and his writing style, particularly his reliance on [[Jerkass]] characters and using "gay" as an insult.
** With Sub-Zero, if you make a fatality joke, he will call you out on it. Make one too many and he will consider killing you, as Phelous proved in his Anacondas 4 review.
Line 42:
** The man takes his gaming pretty seriously. He ranted at length about the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' and ''[[Silent Hill]]'' [[Adaptation Decay|films]] (particularly Dahlia Gillespie's portrayal as a sympathetic character in the first ''[[Silent Hill]]'' film, and Jill Valentine's [[Demoted to Extra|demotion to sidekick]] in the ''Resident Evil'' films), and he was mildly irked by the [[Pac-Man Fever|inaccuracies]] [[Hollywood Game Design|about videogames]] in ''[[Stay Alive]]''.
** His review of ''[[A Serbian Film]]'' is quite possibly his angriest review yet, taking particular umbrage at that film's [[Gorn]] and attempts at [[Refuge in Audacity]].
** It's not as bad as some of the other buttons, but Phelous rather dislikes horror movie [[Developing Doomed Characters|teenagers/college students/cops/killers]] who are obsessed with drinking and partying; oftentimes wishing that they'd get killed already.
* [[Big No]]: Parodied during the ending of the Skinned Deep episode, when it turns out that the end credits of the movie play while the [[Final Girl]] screams "NOOOOOOOOO!" over and over again throughout the whole thing.
{{quote|
** Played straight when he realizes [[Eli Roth]] wrote and directed Hostel II, unlike the second Cabin Fever.
* [[Bigger
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Since some of his reviews are of terrible foreign horror movies, he runs into this on occasion. He gets particularly confused for ''Nightmare City,'' an Italian zombie movie.
* [[Brick Joke]]: During his review of ''[[
** Also, he shouldn't have [[Berserk Button|crossed that line]] when he mentioned ''[[
** In his ''[[Jeepers Creepers]]'' review, [[Evil Counterpart|Phelous D1]] claims part of his plan involved turning the show into one that reviews Romantic Comedies. At the start of the ''Amityville Horror'' review, ''another'' evil counterpart Phelous claims he reviews romantic comedies, before getting shot by Phelous.
* [[Broken Record]]: The scene in ''Case 39'' where Lily repeats "WHY EMILY" over and over again causes him to scream "shut up! SHUT UP!" and then dub her as saying "[[Actor Allusion|SILENT HILL]]" over and over again.
* [[Broke the Rating Scale]]: ''A Serbian Film'' does this for Phelous much like it did for [[
* [[Bullying a Dragon]]: Phelous mocks [[Halloween (
* [[The Bus Came Back]]: {{spoiler|Soundwave in the ''Boogeyman'' review, whose last appearance was in the [[Mortal Komedy]] holiday Special 3.}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: He's pretty much the only character to appear on screen, and he still manages to fulfill this trope.
** Smoke from ''Mortal Komedy'' is this personified.
** Also Benzaie a bit.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Parodied in his ''Fear Dot Com'' video, even using the exact phrase.
* [[Call Back]]: Selouph in the "Prom Night" and "Amityville Horror" reviews is one to the [[
* [[The Cameo]]: Has a short one in the ''Apocalypse 4: Judgment'' review by [[Diamanda Hagan]].
** Many reviewers appear in his show in return (specially in ''Croc'' and ''[[House of Wax]]'').
* [[Camera Abuse]]: Finding out that ''Incubus'' was originally called ''Pulse'' drives him over the edge and he attacks the camera, flipping it over before composing himself.
** Parodied again in his review of ''[[Quarantine (
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Well, in the sense that he ''is'' Canadian, but his review persona doesn't fit much in the way of Canadian stereotypes.
** Mortal Komedy takes place in "Oatworld". That's Canadian enough.
Line 73:
* [[Creepy Child]]: One of his major problems with ''Case 39'' is that Lily is ''supposed'' to fit this trope, but comes off more as just an annoying brat.
** He also made fun of the "ghost babby" in the remake of ''[[The Amityville Horror]]''.
* [[Crossover]]: A review of ''Bloody Mallory'' with [[Sad Panda Q and A|Sad Panda]], [[Chaos D 1]], [[Welshy]], [[Obscurus Lupa]], [[Bad Movie Beatdown
* [[Crying Wolf]]: Does this in the ''[[
* [[Dancing Bear]]: In-universe, believes that [[The Human Centipede]] is basically this, saying that anyone curious about the premise might as well just look at a screenshot of the completed Human Centipede.
* [[Dead All Along]]: Phelous often dies at the end of his reviews. Sometimes he reveals that he's not going to die because "I'm already dead!" *Evil Laugh*
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The deadest.
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: No matter how messily he dies at the end of an episode, he'll be back next time as if nothing happened.
* [[Defied Trope]]: Starting with the "New Phelous", Phelous openly avoided the [[Death Is Cheap]] [[Running Gag]], culminating in him getting shot with a rifle in the ''[[Resident Evil
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: Pointed out by Phelous with the URL of ''Fear Dot Com'''s titular website, feardotcom.com.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Has a brief one watching Jack Frost 2 when a character calling himself "Captain Fun" shows up.
* [[Developing Doomed Characters]]: A major [[Pet Peeve Trope]] of his; expect at least a minor rant about it during every movie it comes up in.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Unknown to Phelous, the one thing that [[Stay Alive]] did get right about video games is that it is possible for PC and [[
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Sort of. In Hostel 1 & 2 Reviews in 5 Seconds, his sister does the Hostel 2 portion. Making fun of how Hostel 2 is the same thing as the first movie only with female characters.
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]: In a cameo for "[[Croc]]," the 100th episode special:
{{quote|
'''Phelous:''' But -- Linkara -- I --
'''Linkara:''' The one who died a lot and does stupid meta jokes is ''you''.
'''Phelous:''' Yes. I got it. }}
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: {{spoiler|[[
* [[Cute Kitten]]: After the seventh Boogeyman movie, Phelous regenerated into his cat Tiniqua. He followed up with a review of Meow Mix and a "cameo" from his other cat Kisa. {{spoiler|Phelous D1 later gets turned into the same cat.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Several; there's Phelous D1 from the ''Ghost Ship'' and ''Dawn of the Living Dead'' review, a Phelous version of the villain from ''Incubus'', a ''[[Silent Hill]]''-style [[Fan Disservice|Nurse Phelous]] from his review of ''[[Silent Hill]] Homecoming'' and ''Case 39'', and the romantic comedy reviewer "Selouph".
Line 96:
* [[Eye Take]]: Arguably his funniest reaction ever to the events happening on screen in a movie he reviews was in his review of the ''[[Black Christmas]]'' remake, when the killer's mother rapes him(the killer, not Phelous). Phelous sits slack-jawed, eyes open wide in stupefied horror.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: At the end of his Silent Hill Homecoming video: {{spoiler|Phelous in one of the nurse outfits. Complete with short skirt.}}
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Spoofed at the end of his ''Thankskilling'' review with his [[Sarcasm Mode|"extremely original"]] character, [[Bum Reviews
* [[Foreshadowing]]: In his review of House of the Dead 2, when a character makes reference to wanting to have sex with a zombie, Phelous reacts by saying, "Contemplating Zombie rape?! I better never see anything that stupid again!" to which Sad Panda appears saying "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Fast forward a couple months to the La Horde review done alongside Sad Panda...
* [[Freeze
** Which serves as a [[Call Back]] to other reviews during the Regen arc last year.
* [[From a Single Cell]]: Parodied in his review of ''Anaconda 4''
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: In ''[[Stay Alive]]'' he refuses to play the Stay Alive game. Cut to him playing it.
* [[Go Mad
** The line "You're not DEAD, are you?" from the 3D remake of ''[[Night of the Living Dead]]'' also sends him into hysterics.
** His review of ''Cabin Fever 2'' is full of this. Take your pick, his reaction to Party Cop returning, his reaction to Party Cop still being obsessed with partying, or {{spoiler|his insane laughter over a scene where the girl cuts off the boy's infected hand with a buzzsaw and torches the wound.}}
** From the ''Pulse 3'' review: "The internet ghost of a record player? The internet ghost of a record player! ''The internet ghost of a record player?! '''It made me do the overhead spinning scream thing again!!!"'''''
** Taken to the extreme in ''Thankskilling'' when the killer turkey (which is more like a vulture) encounters a couple mid-coitus, kills the man and fucks the girl in the ass. Phelous falls to the ground, laughing or crying, ''for over a minute'', before just staring at the camera in the next few scenes.
* [[Gorn]]: Since he specializes in horror films, expect this to crop up from time to time in his reviews. Not all of them are for the squeamish. One prime example is Automaton Transfusion where a zombie [[Traumatic C
** In his [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]], he warns the viewer to consider, in light of the scenes he's shown in previous episodes, the fact that this is the first time he's found it necessary to put up a content warning. The film he was reviewing? ''A Serbian Film''.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Phelous D1 sure ''tries'' to hurt Phelous, but mostly just ends up getting humiliated.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** Phelous will often [[Actor Allusion|note certain actor's notable roles]] (Ryder Strong is [[Boy Meets World
** Taken to an extreme in his reviews for ''[[House of the Dead]]'', ''House of the Dead 2'', and ''Dead and Deader'' (which was originally planned to be a sequel to ''House of the Dead'') which he reviews back-to-back-to-back. Ellie Cornell played a role in all three, and Phelous incredulously comes up with a theory as to why.
* [[Hoist
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: Phelous gets kicked out of his own 100th episode review by Obscurus Lupa, who finishes the review.
** Selouph tried to take over Phelous's show twice, but Phelous violently takes it back each time.
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: During the 100th episode, Phelous is mocked by the various Channel Awesome critics providing cameos, culminating in [[Obscurus Lupa]] [[Hostile Show Takeover|browbeating him into abandoning the review, which she finishes.]]
* [[The Hyena]]: Laughs a lot more in his reviews than the others on TGWTG, especially if [[Running Gag|someone looks stupid when they're surprised]].
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Dena gets back at Phelous for showing the graphic amputation scene in his review of The Ruins by ripping his head off. Sub-Zero does a fatality on Phelous for making "[[
** [[Hypocritical Humor]] is generally a [[Running Gag]] with Phelous; often he'll either criticize a movie for doing something that he constantly does in his reviews, or criticize something and then do the same thing right after.
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: After making fun of a father who had just found his daughter's corpse in his review of the [[Stephen King]] Boogeyman Movie:
{{quote|
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Overlaps with [[Go Mad
{{quote|
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: After finding out that the titular website in ''Fear Dot Com'' is actually "feardotcom.com" he always refers to the movie as ''Fear Dot Com Dot Com.''
* [[In Name Only]]: He starts calling [[The Remake|Jackie Earle Haley's]] [[A Nightmare
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: He literally hung a lampshade on himself in the Lockjaw review when [[Bad Movie Beatdown
* [[Large Ham]]: When he isn't snarking, he delves deeply into the ham.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Has a fit of this every time a movie becomes especially ridiculous.
* [[Left It In]]: He's fond of this.
{{quote|
* [[Let's Play]]: Started one for [[Silent Hill 1]].
* [[Let's See You Do Better]]: At times, he demonstrates that he can actually do better special effects than the movies he reviews (case in point, his cheap editing was a ''damn close match'' to the [[Special Effects Failure|"effects"]] from ''[[Birdemic]]'').
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: A complaint on ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation]]'' (not to mention [[Mortal Kombat 3|some]] [[Mortal Kombat: Deception|MK]] [[Mortal Kombat Armageddon|games]]).
* [[Machinima]]: The "Resident Hazard" videos, which all consist of various lines from the first [[Resident Evil]] game spliced together to make the dialogue even more bizarre.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: He likes making fun of "conversational" narratives, such as someone saying "Oh, hello!" to the camera. "Oh, hello! I didn't realize I put the camera near my door and left the camera running and edited it into my video!"
Line 143:
* [[No Name Given]]: His review show has no official name. This fact is Lampshaded occasionally.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: When he's interacting with the Critic in anniversaries, it's safe to say that at some point he'll get up in his face and stay there for a while, either out of [[Kickassia|anger]] or [[Suburban Knights|just trying to freak him out]].
* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: He points out that he did ''not'' edit a snake making sounds akin to those of a ''[[Predator]]''
** Also assured the audience that the casting in the second ''[[Film/Boogeyman|Boogeyman]]'' movie was not him making a joke.
* [[The Nth Doctor]]: Parodied in the "Funny Games Again" video, where Phelous gets shot and regenerates into a new form in the style of [[Doctor Who
* [[Official Couple]]: It was hinted at in some reviews, but in his ''Jack Frost'' review, he confirmed that he is dating [[Obscurus Lupa]].
** Heck, he basically said it during his review of Shredder.
{{quote|
** The ''Julie & Jack'' crossover.
{{quote|
* [[Once an Episode]]: Him dying in some way reminiscent of the movie he's currently reviewing, to the point where he's actually [[Genre Savvy|quite ambivalent]] towards his immanent demise.
* [[Our Hero Is Dead]]: Happens so much it becomes a running gag.
Line 156:
* [[Portmanteau]]: "Phelous" is a combination of his real name, Phelan Porteous.
** The title for each review is similarly a portmanteau of "Phelous" and the title of the movie, such as "Phinculous" for "Incubus."
* [[Prank Call]]: During his review of ''[[Cry Wolf]]'', Phelous makes a prank call to the police. This leads to a cop shooting a fellow skit artist at the end of the review and then arresting Phelous.
* [[Random Events Plot]]: His impression of ''[[Mortal Kombat: Annihilation]]''.
* [[Reality Ensues]]: In the ''[[Resident Evil
* [[Red Shirt]]: He often wears one. It came in handy for the ''Pulse'' reviews, since [[Weaksauce Weakness|ghosts hate red in those.]]
* [[Resurrective Immortality]]: Phelous dies in all kinds of comical ways, but always comes back to life. In a crossover with ''[[
* [[Rooting for
* [[Running Gag]]: Quite a lot:
** Characters getting killed are sometimes presented as [[Mortal Kombat]] fatalities (complete with Sub-Zero appearing to chastise Phelous/punch Phelous in the face).
Line 166 ⟶ 167:
*** And then one of them pulls out a shotgun and shoots it, and the song is played again, only with SEVERAL of them overlaid.
*** And then in Anaconda 4, when a villain is shot [[No Kill Like Overkill|roughly a billion times]] by someone dual-wielding pistols. [[Overly Long Gag|Hide and Seek starts each time he gets shot. The scene runs for quite a long time.]] Instant hilarity.
*** At the beginning of one of the Pulse reviews, he realizes that Mischa Barton is in the movie:
{{quote|
** Phelous dying at the end of his videos.
** '''SUBTLE!!!!'''
Line 176 ⟶ 177:
** [[Resident Evil|"I got a shotgun!"]] whenever a character brandishes a shotgun.
** Adding sitcom-style [[Laugh Track]] to particularly stupid moments and cartoony sound effects to scenes of violence.
** He's reviewed no less than ''eight'' "Pulse" movies. There are nineteen in total.
** Similar to ''Pulse'', he's reviewed seven films with ''Boogeyman'' in the title.
** The rape horn from ''The Other Troll 3'' whenever there is implied rape.
Line 183 ⟶ 184:
** When a record player appears in a movie, Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" plays.
** Any time he has a case of fridge logic, he rationalizes it as "Reasons for actions are stupid!" or says "Logic equals no."
** Very often, when a character is revealed as a zombie/[[Zombie Infectee|has been infected with the zombie plague]]/[[Cabin Fever (
** Whenever there's a character named Doug, Phelous scoffs and follows that with a clip of [[
** Playing a clip of [[Doctor Who
** '''''[[Resident Evil|What!?]]''''' What '''is''' this? No mention of '''blood'''? Hope this is not '''Chris's''' blood!
** Hah Hah! Stupid surprised (whatever)!
Line 201 ⟶ 202:
** His "Top Ten Moments of the 8th Doctor" video, consisting entirely of random moments of ''The Enemy Within''.
* [[Say My Name]]: [[Resident Evil|"ENRICOOOOOOOOOO!"]]
{{quote|
* [[Shout
** One of his videos ends with him dying (at the end of ''[[Stay Alive]]''), with the words, "I might regenerate... I don't know... it feels... different this time." The Fifth Doctor's last words!
** And in his follow-up to ''that'', ''[[House of the Dead (
** The end of his review of ''Nightmare City'' features a parody/reenactment of the ending to [[Super Mario Bros
*** He did this earlier at the end of his review of ''Day of the Dead 2''.
** Sometimes he likes to subvert the expectations his fans have about his shout-outs. One time, he said that the viewer was probably expecting a clip of [[Doctor Who
** The entire sketch on the end of his second [[Funny Games]] review is a tribute to {{spoiler|the Tenth Doctor's departure}}.
** "''Boogeyman 2'' in [[You Keep Using That Word|Danube]] Seconds" is a retelling of the movie in the style of [[
** A park ranger [[The Frantics|boots a guy in the head]] in ''Swamp Zombies''.
* [[Shower of Angst]]: He does this in his review of [[A Serbian Film]] after the infamous {{spoiler|newborn porn}} scene:
{{quote|
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: One of his often used gags is adding silly music to gory, (melo)dramatic and scary scenes.
** In his review of ''[[Ghost Ship]]'', he complains because the film itself plays inappropriate music, rendering this gag unnecessary.
** In his review of ''Santa's Slay'' (wherein [[Goldberg]] played a killer Santa Claus), he had a habit of inserting Goldberg's [[WCW]] theme into scenes of Killer Santa (even dubbing in chants of "San-Ta! San-Ta!"). Until the movie actually starts playing a [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] version of the song...
{{quote|
* [[Space Whale Aesop]]: In his Fear Dot Com review, he states: "If you smoke... a little girl with powers will kill you."
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: ''[[Triangle]]'' is a movie about a woman trapped in a series of time loops who becomes her own worst enemy and is [[Driven to Madness]], so of course his review mirrors this by having a second Phelous popping around trying to stop himself from finishing the Triangle review.
Line 224 ⟶ 225:
** Probably more of an [[Affectionate Parody]], especially because his reviews seem to have some sort of continuity and do feature cameos often.
** On the less affectionate side of things, he's made a few subtle and not-so-subtle digs at the [[Irate Gamer]]'s cereal reviews, culminating in [[Characterization Tags|kitty!]]Phelous' Meow Mix video.
** His "stupid surprise blowjob" joke used in several reviews is a also a dig at [[He Who Must Not Be Named|a former TGWTG contributor]] for part of the events that caused said contributor to be [[Unperson|completely removed from the site]]. (Some elaboration [https://web.archive.org/web/20130305071235/http://wegotclass.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/my-week-in-neverland-or-how-to-avoid-a-bj-from-lindsay/ here])
* [[Take That Me]]: His review of his own series [[Mortal Komedy]].
* [[They Killed Kenny]]
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Pester Z. Bum.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: In ''Dead and Deader'' he wonders what it would have been like if he had decided to not review that stupid ''House of the Dead'' quasi-sequel at all. Cue a flash to alternate-reality Phelous with [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|glowing red eyes]] shrieking he needs to review a bad movie or he'll kill everyone.
* [[What Have I Become?]] : Phelous in his Stephen King's The Boogeyman review after he realizes he's laughing at a jumpscare of a dead father to his son. [[Status Quo Is God|For a whole second.]]
* [[Who Writes This Crap?]]: "This movie's camp value is.. over 9000? Who writes this crap? Oh right, I do"
Line 235 ⟶ 236:
* [[With Lyrics]]: In ''I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer''. "[[Ear Worm|Takin' pictures, takin' pictures, driving!]]"
** ""[[Most Annoying Sound|Triangle Triangle Triangle]] [[Madness Mantra|Triangle Triangle Triangle Triangle Triangle Triangle Triangle...]]"
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: One of his main complaints with ''[[
* [[You Keep Using That Word]]: Linkara calls Phelous out on his continual use of the word 'meta' when [[Lampshade Hanging|he points out the conventions of his own reviews]], complete with him reading a dictionary definition of the word.
* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: "Hostel part 2 is the same thing as Hostel, but with women as the main characters. The End!" * Cut to credits* * Cut back to Phelous* "Yes, I don't know why I ever bother with that, it never works."
