Payne is known for being the [[TheHyena most amused]] and, previously, [[HairTriggerTemper most easily triggered]] member of the group. During the early years of the group (up until around February 2015), he was the only Sideman whose secondary channel was more popular than his primary channel. He also was known for being the heaviest member of the group, but he turned his life around and [[FormerlyFat lost the weight]]; his journey is covered in his three-part autobiographic documentary miniseries ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBHuR7fUesrsFp3OhJ1jbknGl7b2W9j4S How to Be Behzinga]]''.

He is a co-founder of the popular online group the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}}; he was also the one named the group (then named the "Ultimate Sidemen").

Payne is known for being the [[TheHyena most amused]] and, previously, [[HairTriggerTemper most easily triggered]] member of the group. During the early years of the group (up until around February 2015), he was the only Sideman whose secondary channel was more popular than his primary channel. He also was known for being the heaviest member of the group, but he turned his life around and [[FormerlyFat lost the weight]]; his journey is covered in his three-part autobiographic documentary miniseries ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBHuR7fUesrsFp3OhJ1jbknGl7b2W9j4S How to Be Behzinga]]''.

His main channel is [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Behzinga here]] and his second channel is [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Beh2inga here]]. He also has a Website/{{Wikipedia}} [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behzinga article.]]

!!Behzingatropes:
* {{Angrish}}: Can be reduced to this under times of extreme anger, such as during the ''GTA V'' game that gave Sidemen fans his iconic outburst, "Choke on rice! Slip in the shower!"
* BerserkButton: [[JustForPun "Behzerk Button"]], perhaps?
** Calling him homosexual made him a bit upset, though this has toned down later on.
** Calling him a pedophile gets him ''really'' angry.
* BigFun: He was somewhat overweight, calling himself a good-looking fat guy back then, although he's noticeably been losing some weight as of late. No matter what, however, he always loves a good laugh.
* BookDumb:
** PlayedForLaughs as the "dumb Essex boy" due to his inability to do well in games such as ''TabletopGame/TrivialPursuit''.
** Josh has even stated, "When Ethan outsmarts you, you know it's a really bad day."
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He laughs a lot and tends to be a bit emotional. He is also the group's leader (at least on ''FIFA'' and ''GTA'').
* ButtMonkey: Often gets a lot of banter from the Sidemen, usually due to his own incompetence.
* CantCatchUp: Of all the Sidemen, he was the very last to both get verified on Twitter and reach one million subscribers on his main channel. This has made him the butt of many jokes among the group.
* CasanovaWannabe:
** Has sometimes tried to pander to the ladies to hilariously unsuccessful effect.
** In the "Sidemen Try Not to Laugh Challenge" (which is based around heavily invoked {{Spit Take}}s), he remarks, "I normally make girls this wet."
** This ''GTA V'' exchange:
-->'''Ethan''': Girls can get [[PersonAsVerb Behz]][[UnusualEuphemism inga'd]].\\
'''Vik''': I feel sorry for them!
** This trope has ceased as he got a spouse and a child is on the way.
* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Sometimes expresses his anger with a simple "Grrr."
** "[[{{Pun}} Behzingagram!]]" -- Shouts this whenever he has a good moment. By the way, that is the name of his Instagram profile.
** He now has a tendency to say "Oh Neil!" whenever something goes wrong.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KwmdKeOoOc "What do you mean?"]]. Sometimes, it's spelled as "What d'you mean?", because Ethan said the words "do you" pretty fast.
** "Is that a fat joke?" -- Shouts this whenever he finds something that may refer to a joke about his slight obesity. Sometimes doesn't even have to be a fat joke, since it's been occasionally {{borrowed|Catchphrase}} by the other Sidemen although they never tease each other for being fat.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His ''GTA'' vehicle colour is red.
* EpicFail:
** His 2016 ''Royal Rumble'' led to him not getting a single win due to extremely poor team-building decisions.
** When he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMI-b8hBApM got a 190 FUT Draft]] in ''FIFA 16'' and somehow managed to [[CurbStompBattle lose 0-3]], Ethan felt that it was necessary to ''formally apologize'' to his fans.
** [[https://youtu.be/H-cVyT3ctmQ Lands on his ass whilst going down the stairs because he was too distracted arguing with JJ.]]
* FormerlyFat: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjXxjBlOqJ/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=k9e5zdzsqj7u From a fatass to a he-man in mere months.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Is very easily irritable, which of course makes him [[ButtMonkey an easier target]] for the others' banter.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: When you're constantly faced with homosexuality allegations in the name of banter, this is a given trope to utilize. [[https://youtu.be/SiJDhCb_K7c?t=37m50s Here's one example]] of Ethan using this trope in a ''Cards Against Humanity'' game.
-->"Like, I love vagina, and I do--I'm in vagina."
* '''TheHyena''': Oh man, does he laugh so hard and so much. He's even made two compilations of his best laughs. His [[https://twitter.com/Strxtz/status/783392951208673280 main channel]] [[https://twitter.com/Behzinga/status/783393133786755072 design and banner]] was even based on 😂 (the "face with tears of joy" emoji) before until the emoji became out-of-fashion, especially among Gen Z audiences.
* InSeriesNickname: Sometimes he or the others call himself "Zingu" or "Behz" instead of "Behzinga" or his real name.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sure, he's easy to anger but deep down, he genuinely respects his friends and fans. Even he was visibly hurt when KSI betrayed him, although the beef was revealed to be fake and they were still friends.
* TheLeader: Is the official head of the Sidemen's official Rockstar Games Social Club group and ''FIFA'' team.
* TheLoad: Can sometimes be this, such as in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5KosHhVZhU this]] ''FIFA'' video, where he is the main source of the team's downfall.
* MistakenForGay: Very often, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday much to his chagrin.]] [[FauxYay He later played this up with Simon later on, though.]]
* PokemonSpeak: Has a tendency to shout "Behzinga!" or "Behzingagram!" (his Instagram username) when he starts succeeding.
* RunningGag:
** Early on, the frequent homosexual allegations, although this has now been turned into "The Power of [[PortmanteauCoupleName Emon]]" with Simon.
** An old one was that he used to get teased for being the only Sideman that wasn't verified on Twitter, though he eventually got verified.
** His inability to win in games that are not ''[[VideoGame/FIFASoccer FIFA]]'' or ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV''.
** His tendency to put holes through his desk when he gets angry.
** As of late, Ethan has reportedly joined Vik's party of being called a pedophile, much to his chagrin.
-->"''What is it'' [about me]? I'm actually a nice guy!"
* ShoutOut: His online identity is a misspelling of [[Series/TheBigBangTheory Sheldon Cooper's]] {{catchphrase}}, "Bazinga!"
* TookALevelInKindness: Has become more patient and even-tempered over the years.
* VomitIndiscretionShot:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDSv7q_x5Kk In Callux's video of him and Ethan trying strange types of American beer]]. The sounds coupled with the visuals are [[NauseaFuel unpleasant]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5MC1g3X9Gs After taking the Carolina Reaper (again).]] Well, not ''immediately'' after eating it, but as one of the side effects.
