History LetsPlay / VanossGamingAndCompany

In January 2019, his gaming channel ranked 32nd in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_subscribed_users_on_YouTube#Current_most_subscribed_channels list of most subscribed YouTubers]]. As of August 2021, he has 25.5 million subscribers and over 13 billion views since his first videos which started around 2012. His channel at one point gained more subscriptions-per-day than known [=YouTube=] giant ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie''. In 2014 alone, his subscriptions rose from approximately two million to over ''ten million''.

** For Nogla, destroying the [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext cocktus]]. Anything he deems unfair or annoying also tends to set him off. Violently.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Vanoss crew has at least 10 people who drop in and out for certain games and whose involvement in games with each other is largely dependent on each individual's personal schedule.

* AbsenteeActor: Mini Ladd had to take an extended break from making videos with the crew due to he and a friend being the victims of a hit-and-run.

** The Website/YouTube-themed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aMz67unx2k Deathrun video]] probably sets a record for the most insults toward [=YouTube=] and its users in 17 minutes, unintentional or otherwise.

** In mid-2018, Mini started overdubbing the worst of the swearing in his videos (both solo and with the rest of the guys) with the sound of a dolphin to try to stop videos from getting demonetized. He eventually stopped as it didn't seem to be helping much. In May 2019, he once again started censoring his videos, this time muting the swearing rather than replacing it with sound effects, but in September 2019 he stopped censoring his videos, as he claimed that it still wasn't helping his channel being monetised, though the first two minutes of his videos have the swears muted. He tends to heavily lampshade this, especially in his solo videos.

* BaldOfAwesome: [=SMii7Y=]'s bald, chubby-cheeked Mii has led to him being called a potato, Webcomic/OnePunchMan, and Daithi's baby.
-->'''Tyler:''' Hey, look at little Eggman! [=SMii7Y=]'s here, boys!\\
'''[=SMii7Y=]:''' Now y'all in ''trouble''.

** Lui and Basically both use [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys monkeys]].

--> '''Moo:''' Just laugh like a man!

** From Delirious: [[https://youtu.be/c__VbmHAglg?t=2m9s "Look at that shark eating a cheeseburger!"]], [[https://youtu.be/lFG-tXIYiB0?t=10m14s "Cookie-man, give us a blowjob before we die!"]],[[note]]Delirious and Vanoss were sitting in a burning car, literally seconds away from exploding, with Basically in the back seat who was wearing a mask that resembled a gingerbread man. Vanoss immediately invokes this trope after a few moments, saying "Pretty sure no-one's ever said '''THAT''' before."[[/note]] [[https://youtu.be/DcNNE3H5D_c?t=1m8s "Someone weld my ass in place."]], [[https://youtu.be/2wd1jhDzUSM?t=513 "GIVE BIRTH!"]][[note]]Context: While everybody is chanting "Push!!" during a GTA V Sumo match, Delirious yells this while attempting a birth-related joke. Evan took some time to realize that absolutely ''no one'' in the world would ever yell this to a woman in labour. While there is no certainty that he actually said it when H20's real wife was in labor, [[https://twitter.com/H2ODelirious/status/1310956951451373571 this twitter update]][[AscendedMeme references his irreverent statement.]][[/note]]

** Many things generally set Panda off, but the two worst offenders are not being competitive in ''Mario Kart'' and ''Golf It'' courses that heavily rely on trick shots and RNG. This usually results in him yelling, slamming his hand on his desk, or simply leaving the room for a few moments. He's had to put his mouse back together multiple times after throwing it in anger, and one time he kicked his TV and broke it.

** Mini Ladd has had his fill of people joking about comas and Toyota Tacomas (referencing the hit-and-run), and in his third video about his fan-made subreddit, he announced that anyone doing so on his Twitch streams would be instantly permabanned. He also ''hates'' the "You've been Gnomed!" meme and on his meme streams, he will go as far as running out of the room if he even ''thinks'' that a video is going to include it.

* BestFriendsInLaw: {{Averted|Trope}}. Cartoonz was dating Delirious' sister at one point for 8 years before breaking up.

*** In one game, Wildcat yelled out all the white cards for one round, including "I'M 100% NIGGA!" Once the laughter subsided and he explained that he'd taken a comment from Basically as a go-ahead, Basically gave him a pass with the "Black stamp of approval" and told the comments section to shut up.

Also, of note, all of the people listed above tend to play together regularly enough that they can easily be grouped together, but they do all have their own videos and collabs, and they often have their own friends that they bring in to their own videos. A few more names you might occasionally see here and there across the different channels include [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ImJustSilent SilentDroidd]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Racingcatz Racingcatz]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SMii7Y SMii7Y]] (and his buddy [[https://www.youtube.com/user/KryozGaming Kryoz Gaming]]), [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BryceGamesYT Bryce Games]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CaRt0oNz CaRt0oNz]], who are friends with various members of the central group. Vanoss himself isn't the head of this group of Let's Players (no one is), but he does frequently come up with ideas, and introduces and leads some of their videos--and has the most subscribers out of all of them. However, it's not uncommon to see any one of others in the group take charge in any given video. This group does not have an official name, but typically gets referred to as ''Vanoss and Company'' or some sort of variation thereof by their fanbase.

As of January 2019, his gaming channel ranks at 32nd in the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_subscribed_users_on_YouTube#Current_most_subscribed_channels list of most subscribed YouTubers]], with 24 million subscribers since his first videos which started around 2012. His channel at one point gained more subscriptions-per-day than known [=YouTube=] giant ''LetsPlay/PewDiePie''. In 2014 alone, his subscriptions rose from approximately two million to over ''ten million''.

On March 13, 2021, Vanoss, co-starring with [=BasicallyIDoWrk=] Terroriser and WILDCAT, began releasing a new webseries, ''WebAnimation/AlphaBetas'', on his channel.

Other gamers who are heavily featured in the examples below but who are, [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment for various reasons]], no longer actively associated with Vanoss or the others are Craig Thompson (Mini Ladd), Lui Calibre, and LetsPlay/{{Ohmwrecker}}.

His signature look is based on his ''GTA V'' online character, being comprised of (always) an owl mask and either a red and white jacket with a black undershirt or a makeshift Franchise/{{Batman}} suit that he uses in his "Bat Owl" guise (the latter look has replaced his Luigi player model in'' Garry's Mod'').

* RightForTheWrongReasons: During a ''Series/{{Who Wants To Be A Millionaire}}''-styled episode where the guys were answering questions about themselves, Delirious got a question asking about the number of holes on his avatar's mask. He ultimately gets the answer wrong, it was 10 and he guessed 8 because he forgot to count the eyeholes, but he mentions there are 5 holes on the top and 3 holes on the bottom. There are 8 non-eyeholes on his mask, but it's 4 top and bottom.

** Lui, Nogla, and Mini, along with [[https://www.youtube.com/user/themissesmae MissesMae]], once did a [[Creator/TakeTwoInteractive Rockstar Games]][[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rockstar+sidemen+mae&page=&utm_source=opensearch -livestreamed series]] of ''GTA Online'' Last Team Standing deathmatches against four of the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} (specifically Creator/{{KSI}}Olajidebt, WebVideo/{{miniminter}}, Vikkstar123, and Zerkaa).

** ''Operation Bigfoot'' - Used frequently in CoD:4 Prop Hunt, where the player changes into an extremely noticeable object to taunt the seekers behind their back (the most famously used object: a rooftop satellite dish).
