->''Hey, dudes, Hardcore Kid here. Hardcore enough to review kid's stuff.''

Brandon "The Hardcore Kid" Nichols is an Internet reviewer who reviews...well, a lot of things, actually. His persona is that of a kid who grew up with 80's rockers like TheRamones and a lot of BBC shows including FatherTed, and while his slogan may say he's "hardcore enough to review kids' movies," he occasionally divulges into Internet videos, RobotWars, and ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' series. Imagine if [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall 90's Kid]] had his own review show, if he was from the eighties. In the end, he usually gives a movie a score of "Hardcore Hit" for good movies or "Hardcore Headache" for bad ones. You can find him here: http://blip.tv/the-hardcore-kid

* AuthorAppeal: Music/TheRamones, ''FatherTed, RobotWars, Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' movies... Brandon even builds his own robots!
** Also Music/WeirdAlYankovic, whose music he uses repeatedly as bumpers.
* BerserkButton: He fumes up [[PaedoHunt whenever pedophilia enters the topic.]]
* BrokeTheRatingScale: Aside from the below mentioned "Hardcore Tumor" that he gave ''Marvin Marvin'', ''Boku No Pico'' and ''Maid-Boy Kuro-Kun'', he gave ''BagiTheMonsterOfMightyNature'' a "Hardcore Catflap" and ''Film/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'' a "Hardcore Screamerclauz" (Type 5: he really couldn't decide what to rate it).
* CatchPhrase: Has a couple.
--> '''Hey, dudes, Hardcore Kid here. Hardcore enough to review kid's stuff.'''
--> '''Freddy shall rule the world! (punch!)'''
* CoolShades
* {{Crossover}}: His review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Felidae}}'' with [[WebVideo/HewysAnimatedMovieReviews Hewy Toonmore]].
** He also did one with [[WebVideo/TVTrash Rowdy]] on the American version of ''Series/RedDwarf''.
* DefiedTrope: In his "Top 10 Smegged Up YouTube Failures", he refuses to use his "Freddie shall rule the world!" punch in reference to WebVideo/{{Fred}}.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Some of his early reviews were ''not'' kids' movies.
* FMinusMinus: He gave some films and shows, like ''Series/MarvinMarvin'' a "Hardcore Tumor."
* ForcedMeme: He suggests that other reviewers use the "wheelchair falls into the lake" scene from ''Film/MacAndMe'' as a BaitAndSwitch.
* FunWithAcronyms: In the ''Secret of NIMH 2'' review, he declares that, because Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer made so many bad sequels to Creator/DonBluth films, their name must be short for "Money Grubbing Morons".
* FurryFandom: He has made quite a few furry jokes, especially in his review of Ralph Bakshi's ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat''. However, he has said that he doesn't actually hate furries.
* IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: In his ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicVoyage'' review, he says that he has been wanting to do a ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple'' reference for the longest time, and the movie finally gives him an opportunity to do so. Cue him narrating the movie's run through a temple in the style of Kirk Fogg.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The "Guitar Gun" which is used from time to time.
* KindheartedCatLover
* {{Mondegreen}}: In the ''Secret of NIMH 2'' review, he mishears a line in one of Martin's songs as "rubber titties" and declares that the movie has officially given up.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In earlier appearances, Mr. British Guy's accent tended to come and go.
* ReCut: He reshot the ''Secret of NIMH 2'' episode (one of his earliest episodes), not only to give higher quality footage, but also to fix some errata and rewrite some jokes that he (unintentionally) cribbed from others.
* TheRival: Most likely the Hardcore Kid and Mr. British Guy as well as they are roommates.
* {{Rule 34}}: In his review of ''JungledyretHugo'', he points out that the third result on Google Image Search was a Rule 34 of Hugo and Rita.
* RunningGag: His "Freddy shall rule the world!" punch.
** Also a case of AwesomenessIsVolatile in his review of "Fred 3: Camp Fred" when his "Freddy shall rule the world!" punch [[PunchParry collided with]] [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara's]] "I am a man!" punch.
** Playing the song "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment" by TheRamones when someone gets electrocuted.
* {{Shotacon}}: Expresses a great hatred of it, as shown in his reviews of ''[[http://www.reviewersunknown.com/2085/the-hardcore-kid-boku-no-pico/ Boku no Pico]]'' and ''[[http://www.reviewersunknown.com/4784/the-hardcore-kid-shounen-maid-kuro-kun-2/ Maid Boy Kuro-Kun]]''.
* ShoutOut: He ends the ''FievelsAmericanTails'' review with a ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' hoedown song, featuring MediaHunter and WebVideo/TheCartoonHero.
* SlowNo: In the ''Extremely Goofy Movie'' review, upon realizing that Bobby is voiced by Pauly Shore. Followed instantly by a WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties title card set to "Top of the World" by The Music/{{Carpenters}}.
* StuffyBrit: Mr. British Guy, a side character played by Brandon with a [[FakeBrit fake accent]].
* TakeThat: To Game Dude in his ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicVoyage'' review.
* TemptingFate: In his ''WesternAnimation/TheWild'' review, he asks if the film will get better after repeatedly ripping off ''Disney/TheLionKing'' in its first two minutes. It doesn't.
* TheUnpronounceable: In his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'', his inability to pronounce "NIMH".
* UnusualEuphemism: "Smegged up".
* WhatTheHellHero: Despite his criticisms of ''Film/WhereTheDeadGoToDie'', he actually liked it. Everyone who camoed in the review was horrified and left in a huff.
