The Virtual Barber Shop is a series of ASMR videos by a channel by the name of Listening Point on Website/YouTube, dedicated to Webvideo/{{ASMR|Video}} hair cuts. Each video usually follows a pattern: [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Manwell]], the owner of the shop, greets the customer, the viewer, before introducing the person giving the haircut (save for a few cases where he'll give the hair cut himself). However, the majority of the videos also have the barber of the video interacting with Manwell (sometimes other people as well).

* AsHimself: Nate, who voices Manwell, has also portrayed himself a few times.



* CaptainErsatz: Manwell is one to, well, Manuel from the original Virtual Barber Shop video. So far, no word on if Luigi from the same video has a counterpart in this series.



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Initially, the spelling of Manwell's name was spelled as "Manuel". It eventually settled on the current spelling.

to:

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Er, not a comic book movie, but still. Averted in Bane's case[[note]]while his name in comics canon is Eduardo Dorrance, ''The Dark Knight Rises'' only calls him "Bane"[[/note]], but played straight for the case of "Mister Jay" and "[[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn Holly]]".

** [[invoked]]Apparently this incarnation of Bane had a mullet in 1992[[note]]given that he explicitly states 1992, not 1993, it can't be a TakeThat towards Superman's infamous mullet[[/note]], which he views as an OldShame.

Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Quite a few.
** It's implied that Maxim (who is stated to be Russian) is related to Creator/FPSRussia.
** Big Lou mentions the ComicBook/GreenLantern oath. Also somewhat crosses over with BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy, as it he somewhat implies he ''was'' a Green Lantern.

* AffablyEvil: "[[ComicBook/TheJoker Mister Jay]]" cuts the listener's hair in one video, doing so because he lost a bet with Bane. Interestingly, the one that visits isn't the Heath Ledger one (who is from the same universe as Bane), but rather, the Creator/MarkHamill one[[note]]technically, the two ''do'' know each other, since both Bane and the Joker do appear in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum''; however, the Bane here is closest to the one portrayed by Creator/TomHardy (as evident by his usage of lines from Baneposting), who never met the Joker; the one in ''Asylum'' is more akin to the classic one from ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}''[[/note]].

* ExactWords: "Mister Jay" agreed to do a haircut, but since the wording of the bet only stated that he had to do '''a''' haircut, not cut ''all'' the listener's hair, so he only snips one strand of hair on the listener's head.



* NonSpecificallyForeign: It's never stated what country Manwell is from, only that he's not American.

* NonSpecificallyForeign: It's never stated what country Manwell is from, only that he's not American. It's been hinted that he's European - while how his name is pronounced seems to indicate that he's Spanish, the unusual spelling of his name, combined with the fact that his accent sounds both French and Spanish (and he is only shown to be able to speak English), doesn't really give any clear indication.
