** "prolapsing all over the [field]" -- spectacular [[EpicFail collapses]]
** "hot mess" and "dumpster fire" -- bad teams and/or players with little hope of improving.

!![=UrinatingTree=]'s "Lolcows in Sports" series provides examples of the following tropes:
* BiasSteamroller: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Despite his obvious love for the [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Pittsburgh Penguins]], [=UrinatingTree=] is quick to criticize his favourite team and was looking forward to making a video bashing them when they were eliminated from the playoffs. [[TemptingFate Unfortunately]], he started his Lolcow series during the 2016-17 NHL season, when the Penguins were one of the dominant teams in the league and won the Stanley Cup in convincing fashion over the Nashville Predators.

[[TheChewToy Chew Toys]] can qualify for lolcow status if their incompetence is sufficiently amusing or, in particular, [[SelfInflictedHell self-inflicted hell]].
* DueToTheDead: Parodied with the "Congrats, [team name]!" miniseries, where a team is mocked for a big mistake that causes them to lose a championship or be eliminated from the playoffs.
* SelfInflictedHell: Many of the teams [=UT=] critiques became laughingstocks due to incompetent management decisions, poor trades, and other easily avoidable behind-the-scenes screwups, though some teams have had bad luck as well.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Most videos in the series follow a general format, but a few are more experimental:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccKYpDo-tL0 "Dan Snyder: Professional Football's Stubborn Lolcow"]] uses the same formula but focuses on an owner rather than a team.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5maGpQ4Eds "The Carolina Hurricanes: A Brass Bonanza"]] compresses all the usual research into a 90-second pirate movie parody.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZiwQnxSRUY "The Minnesota Vikings: A Legacy of Failure"]] has [=UT=] EnragedByIdiocy and [[INeedAFreakingDrink driven to drink]] over the awfulness of the Minnesota Vikings franchise rather than simply laughing at them.

Urinating Tree (and also goes by Schlasser or [=DSchlasster=]) was a video game reviewer who came around when WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd was taking off. He made video game reviews under the Fat Mann Judgeth character, covering games primarily on the SegaGenesis, and being overly angry about it. Ever since his review on ''Dark Castle'' for the Genesis, he had not updated his [=YouTube=] channel, and eventually it went away, resulting in his fans to archive his videos. He made a return around 2010 in a new account, and even managed to restore his old youtube account. He attempted a new review series called "Generic Reviews", where he focused on creative writing and more self-depreciation humor. He appears to be on indefinite hiatus.

Urinating Tree (and also goes by Schlasser or [=DSchlasster=]) was a video game reviewer who came around when the AngryVideoGameNerd was taking off. He made video game reviews under the Fat Mann Judgeth character, covering games primarily on the SegaGenesis, and being overly angry about it. Ever since his review on ''Dark Castle'' for the Genesis, he had not updated his [=YouTube=] channel, and eventually it went away, resulting in his fans to archive his videos. He made a return around 2010 in a new account, and even managed to restore his old youtube account. He attempted a new review series called "Generic Reviews", where he focused on creative writing and more self-depreciation humor. He appears to be on indefinite hiatus.

* NotInMyContract: UT begins his review of Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition by saying "this game is FUCKING AWESOME!" *RecordNeedleScratch* "Uhhh, hang on a second." It is not because he genuinely thought the game is bad, but because he's apparently contracted with reviewing bad games only.

For the differences between Fat Mann Judgeth and Urinating Tree, see the characters page.



* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: UT shoots himself after witnessing the ending to SwordOfSodan for the genesis. He gets better though.]]



* HypocriticalHumor: During his speech about not raging against the game, the video justly flashes the text "LIAR!" as he talks.



* RecordNeedleScratch: He has quite an habit of employing this.



** Interestingly, it gets inverted big time when UT came out of hiatus. By that time, he's got a sizable fanbase who is eager for more content, but he no longer sports a big ego.

** Interestingly, it gets inverted big time when UT came out of hiatus. By that time, he's got a sizable fanbase who is eager for more content, but he no longer sports a big ego. In fact, he takes every opportunity to berate himself.



* WorstWhateverEver: Subverted. After reviewing ShaqFu, UT admitted that ShaqFu is not as bad as it's made out to be. He would then name five other fighting games that are much worse, counting Batman Forever among them. That makes sense considering the training mode is essentially Mortal Kombat with Batman Forever characters.

to:

* UnstoppableRage: The Fat Mann goes into an incredible fit of rage in a lot of the games he reviewed. Especially towards Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade, Superman, and Batman Forever.
** UT discussed this at the end of his review of ShaqFu.
--> "I would rant about the poor fighting mechanics and the messed up plot and how Delphine Software and EA sold off for just a few extra sales and how the game rips off StreetFighter any chance it gets. But I'm not the type of guy who likes to scream into a microphone for no apparent reason other than to try to make himself all tough and angry for audience that doesn't like getting their eardrums raped by an angry dispensable onslaught of incomprehensible capital. *RecordNeedleScratch* Or am I?"

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: After Dark Castle, UT never did a single review under Fat Mann Judgeth, or bothered to mention what happen to him besides no longer liking him.



* TakeThat: Fat Mann had a closing disclaimer at the end, mocking the displeased viewers that they could have spent their times on doing more productive things in life instead of watching his videos.
** TakeThatMe: On the flip side, he pokes fun at himself every now and then. He cranks this up big time in his generic reviews.

* MemeticMutation: Back then, he was fairly known for his hammy and loud delivery of the word "PWNED!" There is a techno song dedicated to his pronunciation, and would be repeated/imitated in other videos.

!! Urinating Tree provides examples of:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In the Half-Assed Theater of Punch-Out, Little Mac wanted to be shot out of the cannon. [[spoiler: He ends up being defeated by Mike Tyson, mistaken for a child, then gets eaten and is implied to be cannon fodder out of Mike Tyson's ass.]]
* BerserkButton: Fat Mann really hated annoying sounds.
* ComingOfAgeStory: In his Half-Assed Theater of Punch-Out. [[spoiler: Little Mac won once, and lost once, ending in Mike Tyson mistaking him for a child and eating him.]]
* DateRape: Fat Mann's theory on how Batman Forever came to be, all played out thanks to TheMovies (in a comedic fashion).
* LargeHam: The Fat Mann Judgeth character is all about this.
* LetsPlay: Did exactly one, and immediately felt ashamed for it. It is actually not bad for a first attempt.
* {{Machinima}}: In his Fat Mann Judgeth videos, he would employ TheMovies when having any material outside the game review.
** He did a series called Half-Assed Theater, involving him putting on performances with mostly video game footage.
* MemeticMutation: Back then, he was fairly known for his hammy and loud delivery of the word "PWNED!" There is a techno song dedicated to his pronunciation, and would be repeated/imitated in other videos.
-->'''[[TheSpoonyExperiment SpoonyOne]]''' on ''Yor: Hunter from the Future'': "If I may borrow the expression- PWNED!"
* OldShame: UT regrets making any video under the name of Fat Mann Judgeth.
* PaperThinDisguise / SyntheticVoice: UT made a youtube channel called DSchlasser, where he did two game reviews under the title "FAIL" with a synthetic voice. It did not take long before his long time fans caught on to his act, leading to him admitting his return in a later video as he takes off the voice at the end. He would re-release his review on Superman 64 with the synthetic voice removed.
* RuleOfThree: After Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade (The Revenge) review on genesis, he established the Big Three. These being the three games he enjoyed when he was little, and now absolutely hate. Those being this, Superman, and Batman Forever.
* SelfDeprecation: Has a nasty habit of doing this to himself when doing videos outside Fat Mann Judgeth.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Fat Mann Judgeth does not sound like much of a name. But he certainly has an ego to go with it.
** Interestingly, it gets inverted big time when UT came out of hiatus. By that time, he's got a sizable fanbase who is eager for more content, but he no longer sports a big ego.
* SplitPersonality: UT revealed in his Superman review that Fat Mann Judgeth is basically a split personality. Of course, this is the only time he bothered to fight it.
** This gets dropped after his return from hiatus.
* TakeThat: Fat Mann had a closing disclaimer at the end, mocking the displeased viewers that they could have spent their times on doing more productive things in life instead of watching his videos.
** TakeThatMe: On the flip side, he pokes fun at himself every now and then. He cranks this up big time in his generic reviews.
