7	->''"Robbaz here, King of Sweden!"''
8
9	Robbaz (real name Robert Öberg) is a [[UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}} Swedish]] Website/YouTube personality known for gaming videos with his own brand of commentary, with the gimmick that he sees himself as a Viking warrior with a fascination for nipples and kink (these being recurring words he has used in his videos).
10
11	He's also known for his own brand of ComedicSociopathy. He loves abusing VideoGameCrueltyPotential and taking every opportunity to kill and/or torture characters in the games he plays - and he does it all with a very cheerful personality and [[PutTheLaughterInSlaughter constant laughter]]. He also enjoys games with character creators, which he uses to create the most grotesque characters he can. The games he has shown on his [=YouTube=] page include, but are not limited to, ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'', ''VideoGame/CryOfFear'', ''VideoGame/MySummerCar'', and the ''Franchise/{{Hitman}}'' series.
12
13	He has also made videos comparing the graphics of multiplatform games for the PC, Platform/XBox360 and Platform/{{PS3}}. Naturally, these haven't gone without {{flame war}}s, which Robbaz even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] on his Web site when the "Comparisons" tab is [[AltText moused over]].
14
15	He's also a professional chef in real life. In fact, he runs a cooking subseries called "Cooking with the Kock" ("Kock" is Swedish for "chef." Robbaz is well aware of the dirtier English word it sounds like and has joked about it at least once) which can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo1nDt_-WWnUHqFw6Yt_1iTZ5PnSAV9so here]].
16
17	His [=YouTube=] page can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/robbaz here]].
18	And his Web site can be found [[http://www.robbaz.com/ here]].
19	----
20	!!Robbaz provides examples of:
21	* AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles: Automatically assumes that all Japanese games are of this kind. Even ''VideoGame/DragonQuestBuilders''.
22	%%* AntiHero / NominalHero: Also slide into VillainProtagonist.
23	* AtopAMountainOfCorpses: Many ''Project Zomboid'' outings begin and/or end with Robbaz killing dozens upon dozens of zombies.
24	* BackFromTheDead: After Walrus is slain by [[WakeUpCallBoss Krosis]], Robbaz makes the trip to [[WarriorHeaven Sovngarde]] to bring him back.
25	* BadSanta: In "[[https://youtu.be/oe-8mgWafFA Hitman Christmas - Murd3r Claus]]," Robert kills and becomes Santa Claus. He immediately goes on a rampage, killing everyone for being naughty.
26	* BareFistedMonk: The entire point of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhBiNx749Zw Unarmed Badass Viking]], which also applied to majority of his fighting style in [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]. Robbaz claims in ''Skyrim'' that "weapons are for pussies," and he prefers punching things to death. This doesn't stop him from using weapons in other games, though.
27	* BearyFriendly: Oslo the polar bear, one of Robbaz' ''Skyrim'' companions. He likes to take naps.
28	* BerserkButton: Don't talk shit about Robbaz's soup.
29	* BilingualBonus:
30	** He slips into speaking/shouting Swedish on occasion, especially when [[BattleCry in the heat of a pitched battle]].
31	** He makes an IncrediblyLamePun along these lines with his "Cooking With the Kock" series, playing off an English sexual connotation with the Swedish word for [[spoiler:chef]].
32	%%* BlackComedyRape: A standard source of humor in his videos.
33	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite all his foolishness and nipple jokes he's surprisingly good at most games, FPS in particular.
34	* ButtMonkey:
35	** In pretty much every video he's appeared in, Sven is usually killed... repeatedly.
36	** Likewise, if Robbaz calls any character "Bob", all they can hope for is that the end will be quick.
37	* CargoCult: Robbaz has a bizarre devotion to [[CompanionCube the Cube]] he builds in his ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' videos, which even shows up at the end of his ''VideoGame/FromTheDepths'' campaign.
38	-->'''Robbaz:''' (''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness softly]]'') [[ParanoiaFuel Always remember, that the Cube is listening, watching. He knows everything, you know. Including... your fears.]]
39	* CatchPhrase: Quite a few.
40	** "Robbaz here, King of Sweden," when introducing himself, or whenever his player character is introduced/asked their name.
41	** "Dental Appointment" whenever he gets the 'triple face punch' unarmed killcam in ''Skyrim''.
42	** "Become... a Viking... TODAY!" at the end of his videos, with 'Viking' occasionally replaced by the focus of the video. This includes objects such as asteroids.
43	*** "Like and favorite this shit."
44	** "Viking (Noun)!"
45	** "Glor-i-ous!"
46	** "Take it easy Robert." Whenever he screams or gets overly excited about something.
47	* TheCaligula: Whenever Robbaz runs game that let him run a city or territories, he tends to make the citizens suffer for his sadistic glee.
48	* CasualDangerDialogue: In "Return of the "Virtual" Walrus #2 - Skyrim VR," Robbaz talks to a Skeever - a monster that is currently attacking him - as if it was his friend. A few seconds later, Robbaz levels up his armor, and calmly describes the upgrades he has done while the Skeever keeps attacking him.
49	* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Robbaz keeps catching Walrus yerking off in public.
50	* ChefOfIron: Online, he's a self-proclaimed Viking, but in real life he's actually a chef. He occasionally posts [[FoodPorn videos of him cooking unusual dishes]], such as Moose Burgers and ''Kangaroo Tacos''.
51	* CoolShip: The V.S.P ''Midgard''. Robbaz even comments that for once, something he made in ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' actually ''looks'' like a proper starship.
52	* CreepyBasement: His ''Sims 3'' basement contains torture chambers for his neighbors to die in, with glass walls so his evil Viking baby can watch, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and exercise equipment]].
53	* CutenessProximity: Robbaz occasionally gets distracted by his animal companions.
54	* DeadGuyPuppet: In the ''Skyrim VR'' videos, Robbaz often picks up the corpses of people or animals he kills in the game and makes up a scenario with them (usually involving the dead thing begging Robbaz not to punch them, only for Robbaz to [[NoKillLikeOverkill punch them anyway]].)
55	* DeadlyEuphemism: In "Hitman Blood Money - White House," Robbaz kills a guy in a bathroom. When he sees an armed guard outside of the bathroom, he gives this clever line:
56	-->'''Robbaz:''' Sir, don't go in the toilet. We had a little accident. It smells.
57	%%* DieChairDie: Happens a lot in his ''Skyrim'' playthroughs.
58	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu:
59	** What was Robbaz's first reaction to seeing [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos Slenderman]]? [[spoiler:Pull out a pistol and shoot his nipples off.]] When that failed? Charge the SOB head on. Obviously this failed, but Robbaz claimed victory by merit of raping Slenderman.
60	** Done literally in a ''Skyrim'' playthrough, where his character is such an unarmed juggernaut he can punch dragons to death.
61	* DisproportionateRetribution: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7uhwwID7vg&list=UUN474WQPkqqhUbxhkXKieQw Redneck Brothers Episode 19]], Robbaz forgets to pay the bill and some of his stuff is repossessed. He follows the repo woman home, steals everything from her apartment, and ''murders her boyfriend''.
62	* DrivesLikeCrazy:
63	** If Robbaz ever gets behind the wheel, run. Run far away. And pray he doesn't come your way. Within seconds of picking a different car in a driving simulator, for example, he goes as fast as possible and ends up in a ditch within seconds.
64	** During his time in a Hind D in ''VideoGame/TakeOnHelicopters'', Robbaz tries to lift off, but only spins around in circles. When he tries to fix this, he ends up accidentally turning off the engines. When he looks up from the console, he finds that not only is it still spinning, he's sideways, falling like a brick and ''spinning faster''.
65	* DudeNotFunny: [[invoked]] In "Hitman Blood Money - White House," Robbaz invokes this on himself and then subverts it. He kills an NPC by throwing a knife into his face, then makes a joke about it and laughs. Robert then tells himself it's not funny, only to quickly decide that it is a ''little'' funny.
66	%% EagleLand: Mixed-Flavor with leanings towards Type-2's ''America the Boorish'' archetype. Though Robbaz' AffablyEvil nature made him favor on that line.
67	* EldritchAbomination: His creations from his ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' playthrough look like they crawled right out of a deviant fetish site. As one commenter pointed out, we're lucky Robbaz is not God.
68	* EnfantTerrible:
69	** Within seconds of starting ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', Robbaz shoots his father dead.
70	** In his ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' house, his character's second child cackles with sadistic glee at the sight of people burning to death in a torture chamber.
71	* EvenEvilHasStandards:
72	** Robbaz, the depraved, bloodthirsty berserker who murders children with glee, gives several {{Flat What}}s when he sees [[spoiler:the interracial couple about to be stoned to death]] in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite''. It really drives home how [[NightmareFuel/BioShockInfinite screwed up]] that whole event is.
73	** He also showed distaste for [[TheCaligula Joffrey]] [[EnfantTerrible Baratheon]] in his Clash of Kings mod playthrough.
74	** In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', he's upset about [[spoiler:the murder of his character's wife and kidnapping of their son]].
75	** In ''VideoGame/Hitman3'', while Robbaz usually enjoys killing people in the game, even he is disturbed by how brutal the results of killing someone with the hydraulic press are.
76	--->'''Robbaz:''' Oh shit! Holy moly! He became juice. [[{{Bathos}} Yummy]]. Wow, that's... pretty fucked up.
77	* EvilerThanThou: PlayedForLaughs. In ''Batman Arkham VR'', Robbaz claims to be eviler than the Joker. Considering Robert's love of twisted humor and gleefully torturing characters in games, he's probably right. Although [[spoiler:the Joker technically wins against Batman in the game]], Robbaz doesn't really care and continues to [[{{Bathos}} make a mockery out of what would otherwise be a scary ending]].
78	-->'''Robbaz:''' ''[imitates Joker's laugh mockingly]'' Joker doesn't have shit on me, I'm way more psycho than Joker. Fuck Joker. ''I'' am the psychopath in this game!
79	%%* ExcrementStatement: Done often in his My Summer Car series.
80	* ExpensiveGlassOfCrap: In [[https://youtu.be/T0xuKTQVF1k?t=3m30s CWTK - Brewing Honey Mead #2]], Robbaz expresses disgust with people who act "so sophisticated" by claiming to love dry wine. He says dry wine "tastes like shit."
81	* FaceDeathWithDignity: Emperor Titus attempts to do this when Robbaz comes to assassinate him for the Dark Brotherhood. [[spoiler:Subverted when Robbaz ''[[WrestlerInAllOfUs suplexes]]'' the emperor.]]
82	* {{Foreshadowing}}: While playing ''Skyrim'''s "Mind of Madness", Robbaz makes an offhand comment that "[he] would never kill Walrus" Technically [[spoiler:He didn't, but he did believe Walrus was dead when he was turned into a sweetroll]]
83	* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
84	** Several normally-serious ''Skyrim'' moments are ruined by Walrus' antics in the background. He has a habit of climbing up on things he's not supposed to.
85	** During a bugged out ''VideoGame/SilentHunter'' cutscene in which a submarine captain talks to a [[GoodBadBugs nonexistent superior]], the U-boat that Robbaz carefully piloted into the dock to trigger the cutscene slowly enters the frame before crashing into the wall of the submarine pen. The best part of it is that the Atlantean deck gunners are still manning their positions, come hell or high water.
86	* FunnyForeigner: Robbaz is Swedish, and uses his accent in an exaggerated way for laughs - especially when concerning J's and G's, resulting in "Yenius", Yesus", and "Yerk off", and Ch's, resulting in "shildren." He also has a borderline obsession with other stereotypical Nordic things, like vikings and walruses.
87	* GodzillaThreshold: Any situation in ''Skyrim'' that makes hiring Robbaz to fix it a good idea has passed this long, ''long'' ago.
88	* GoldIsYellow: {{Lampshaded\|trope}}. While playing ''VideoGame/MySummerCar'', Robbaz spray paints his car's wheels' rims a color that he initially thinks is gold, only to realize it's actually yellow. He calls yellow "the poor man's gold."
89	* {{Gonk}}: Like LetsPlay/UberHaxorNova, his ''VideoGame/DarkSouls2'', ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' (especially Clyde), and recently ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' had him playing as a red-haired person, mostly leaning to EvilRedhead, with mishappen faces.
90	* HelloInsertNameHere:
91	** Some of Robbaz' ''Skyrim'' aliases include "Badass," "a fucking Viking, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!" and "Franchise/{{Batman}} and this is Walrus."
92	** He's also fond of responding to [=NPCs=] when they ask his name, sometimes getting frustrated when he has to keep introducing himself as Robbaz, King of Sweden.
93	* HeroicBSOD: Walrus fell into a deep depression after [[spoiler:being turned into a sweetroll]]
94	* HeroicComedicSociopath: Robbaz usually takes full advantage of VideoGameCrueltyPotential, killing people, blowing things up, and more, and all for the amusement of both himself and his viewers.
95	* HiddenDepths: Aside from his Cooking With The Kock series, he shows an aptitude for creating complex constructs in games that allow him to do so.
96	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Having rushed his way to the Dragonrider boss in ''Dark Souls 2'', when it kills itself without even requiring a single hit he takes the time to put the controller down and mock the boss... only for one of the enemies he ran past earlier to [[SuddenlyShouting come up behind and kill him]].
97	* HornyVikings: In addition to being Swedish, his persona fit this trope, especially Skyrim and any videogames with nordic themes. His channel icon depicts him as a muscular Viking with a horned helmet.
98	* HumongousMecha: Builds one in ''Kerbal'' and takes it on a mini-rampage. Another one he tries to send to the moon, with [[StuffBlowingUp obvious results]].
99	* HypocriticalHumour: While playing ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', he's disturbed that its possible to put make-up on children, and asks what kind of pervert would do that. He then, of course, proceeds to do it.
100	%% IAmAHumanitarian: A notable trait of his ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' playthrough.
101	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Bludgeoned a Death Claw to death with a pool cue.
102	* InJoke: Robbaz made a point of saying he was the only Let's Player to ever play ''VideoGame/{{Slender}}''. ''Especially'' the only [[WebVideo/PewDiePie Swedish LPer]] to play it.
103	* InsistentTerminology: Used to always refer to himself as the full title ''Robbaz, King of Sweden'', though as of late he says the joke has run its course.
104	* LargeHam: Pretty much whenever he gets excited. Which tends to happen a lot in a heated battle. Much [[ScreamingWarrior yelling]] and [[IShallTauntYou smack talking]] will ensue whenever this is.
105	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: This was shown in both ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', ''VideoGame/Fallout3'', and ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', which he played as an immoral person (even naming his first one as "Space Viking "Dark Side & Evil Choices") who willingly kill people for amusement and even treated other people like trash. In spite of all this, he loves cooking and adores his fans along with various charities he did in gaming.
106	* MightyGlacier: Robbaz prefers fighting with brute strength in games. This is best shown in ''VideoGame/MountAndBlade: Warband - Viking Conquest'', where he actively rejects giving his character points in agility in favor of strength.
107	-->'''Robbaz:''' We've gotta be strength-based. We've gotta be just like our name: "Rock Hard." So I think I'm going to squeeze some more into... strength stuff. Agility what- agility warrior? No! I'm not agility, I'm strength! Fuck off.
108	%% MinionWithAnFInEvil: After watching his ''Kerbal'' videos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1AD2LWAc9Q North Korea hires Robbaz]] to build some "Kim Jong Hard-Un" missiles. They really ought to have known better.
109	* MoodWhiplash:
110	** Robbaz has a tendency to utterly demolish any sense of drama that the game he's currently playing might have otherwise had. One good example is [[spoiler:Astrid's death]] in his Skyrim play through. Absolutely horrifying in the original game, but CrossesTheLineTwice with Robbaz reanimating the burnt corpse over and over while giggling like a little kid.
111	** During his ''Redneck Brothers'' playthrough of ''Sims 3'', having spent the entire episode physically experimenting on his Sims, he seems legitimately sad when [[spoiler:his butler Bertram is killed by a freak dishwasher accident, spending several minutes building a very nice looking grave and delivering a proper eulogy]]. This is immediately followed by [[spoiler:the Sims literally dancing on top of it]].
112	%% MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: The ''Skyrim'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPrfo8uO_Gs Thanksgiving special]]
113	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
114	** Robbaz has a flash of this at the end of his "Mind of Madness" playthrough when he accidentally [[spoiler:blasts Walrus with the Wabbajack and turns him into a sweetroll]].
115	** Its a [[RunningGag frequent]] response to the deaths of any of his Kerbals whenever he messes up in ''Kerbal Space Program''. Its quickly glossed over, though.
116	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast:
117	** Robbaz is certainly an intimidating name, but then you've got Pro-Wrestlers named "King of Nipples" and spaceships dubbed "Nipple Sky Penetrator". If you ever end up in Robbaz's world, it's best to just never stop running.
118	** His weapon of choice for most of ''Dark Souls 2'' was dubbed the Club of Happiness.
119	%% OfCorpseHesAlive: Done with [[WouldHurtAChild Billy]] in a Fallout 4 video.
120	* OhCrap / ThisIsGonnaSuck: In his ''Crashtastic #3'' video, he sees a level which causes him to simply let out a foreboding "Ohohoho! Oh no. Ohh noo..."
121	* OnceAnEpisode: Every VR video he does ends with him escaping the simulation the only way he knows how: dying.
122	* ProductPlacement: Robbaz really wants you to drive a Volvo.
123	* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter: Robbaz often laughs while killing characters in games. Sometimes it's a loud laugh (especially if the death turns out to be more brutal or funny than he was expecting), but sometimes it's more of a sinister giggle.
124	* RageQuit: After spending the entirety of ''Dawnguard'' stumbling around in caves only to be told that he's got to go through ''more'' caves for the Chantry part of the quest, Robbaz gives up and tries to find where they've hidden the ''Dragonborn'' DLC.
125	* SchizoTech:
126	** In his eighth episode of his Jotunheimr ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' series, Robbaz designs a dropship (the Drop Shit) that uses both rocket engines and propeller engines, powered by a fission reactor. It works surprisingly well.
127	** His playthrough of ''VideoGame/{{Besiege}}'', which utilized medieval-esque technology, to create mecha and flying ships.
128	* ShockParty: Half the guests at the ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' tutorial birthday party are gunned down before Robbaz realizes it's not an ambush.
129	* SittingOnTheRoof: The last ''Dawnguard'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHOBr4RC6EI video]] opens with Walrus on top of Lakeview Manor. Maybe Robbaz can lure him down with a snack...
130	* SluggishSeal: Robbaz's pet Horker (a walrus-like creature), Walrus, in his ''Skyrim'' videos is depicted as a LovableSexManiac who is constantly depressed and rarely does anything useful. In ''Return of the Virtual Walrus'', Robbaz tries to get Walrus to climb into the back of a carriage before realizing that Walrus is too fat, so he has to shove Walrus into the back.
131	%% StuffBlowingUp: The ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' videos in a nutshell.
132	* SuddenlyShouting:
133	** In his ''Crashtastic #3'' video, when he experienced success in a level in a somewhat unorthodox manner, he promptly yelled "DAAAAOOOOOWWW VIKING POWAH!! DAAAGH!". He quickly apologised.
134	** His ''Dark Souls 2'' streams frequently discuss how much of a psychopath his neighbors must think he is, constantly shouting about Valhalla.
135	* SirSwearsALot: About every third word, or so.
136	* SpiderTank: What he ends up building when he can't get his robot to balance properly. He even remarks on how it reminds him of ''Film/WildWildWest''
137	%% TemptingFate: Invoked just about every time he builds something in ''Videogame/KerbalSpaceProgram''.
138	* TestosteronePoisoning: Robbaz likes to play up the image of a badass manly viking, but in a tongue-in-cheek way. This is most obvious in his Skyrim videos, where he refuses to fight any other way than [[BareFistedMonk with his fists]]. His idea of "manliness" also happens to include violent ComedicSociopathy (to characters in games.)
139	* ThemeNaming:
140	** If Robbaz is allowed to name something, rest assured it'll involve Vikings or nipples. Or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Nipple Vikings]]. This has grown less frequent, however.
141	** He has taken to naming his projects in ''VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' for figures and locales of Myth/NorseMythology. Such as the V.S.P ''Midgard'', ''Asgard'' and ''Jotunheimr''.
142	* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Robbaz played an entire episode of Battlefield using nothing but a pack of C4. He ended up with double-digit kills.
143	* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
144	** Who else but Robbaz would use a walrus for an assassination?
145	** In his ''VideoGame/FromTheDepths'' series, the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast HMS Ragnarok]] is this. It has so much firepower that, in it's initial version, it could COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATE DESTROYERS. Even after a new version of the game nerfed the Ragnarok's guns, it was still able to split a battleship in two.
146	* TheUnfavorite: Robbaz despises his oldest ''Sims 3'' child, seals him in a shed to starve to death, insults his ghost, [[SubvertedTrope but is delighted when he comes back to life]] [[spoiler:[[DoubleSubversion because it means he can kill him again with a modded-in sniper rifle]]]].
147	* TunelessSongOfMadness: In "Hitman Christmas - [=Murd3r=] Claus," Robbaz sings "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in a deranged voice while playing a BadSanta and gunning people down.
148	* UnfazedEveryman: No matter what horrors he encounters, the most he'll ever say is his goofy, high-pitched "Hello!"
149	* UsurpingSanta: In "[[https://youtu.be/oe-8mgWafFA Hitman Christmas - Murd3r Claus]]," Robbaz kills Santa Claus when he realizes that he is on the naughty list for seeing Santa. He then has his character put on Santa's clothes and declares himself the new Santa. He then goes around [[BadSanta killing everyone he considers naughty]].
150	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Robbaz has nipples and Trocadero, Walrus has [[EatsBabies shildren]] and after one quest, [[spoiler:sweetrolls]].
151	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Robbaz takes every opportunity to abuse or kill [=NPCs=] in video games, enjoying every second of it, especially when the effects of the violence are more brutal than expected.
152	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Robbaz tries to solve nearly every dilemma in ''{{VideoGame/Scribblenauts}}'' with Walrus. It works a surprising number of times.
153	%%* WouldHurtAChild: Robbaz is an equal-opportunity Viking.
154	%%* ZergRush: Robbaz' Army of Children.
155	* ZombieApocalypse: Robbaz managed to deliberately start one in ''VideoGame/TheSims3'' of all games.
