  • Attention Deficit Creator Disorder: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, Naruto: The Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show, Crapsule Monsters, song parodies, reviewing the season zero manga, voicing Let's Destroy the Shagohod, voicing the Narrator and Freeza in Dragon Ball Abridged, Marik Plays Bloodlines Let's Play, etc. New episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series now premiere at conventions to prevent fans constantly asking about the schedule.
    LittleKuriboh: I start things and I don't finish them! Have you ever noticed that!?
  • Creator Backlash: In spite of making the "Card Games on Motorcycles" meme so omnipresent, he came to admit in 2020 that he regretted it, as it undercuts a series that he came to really enjoy.
    • On August 9, 2023, Martin revealed that his experiences with Chris Niosi (who was exposed as an abuser), as well as Blake Swift (the latter of whom was in fact orchestrating a smear campaign against Martin in private channels over Martin cutting ties with him previously) made his role as Nylocke on Niosi's TOME series a "traumatic experience". It was at the point where he outright refused to reprise the role for the video game adaptation, quit professional voice-acting and only agreed to voice a minor character Sir Maximore in hopes of the original cast returning in some capacity, which did not happen.
  • Creator Breakdown:
    • Martin admitted that he's been suffering from depression since mid-2014, which is why his video productivity went down. He began creating weekly videos titled We're Still Here as a means to talk about things to work himself through his issues, talk about hopeful things and help people with similar problems.
    • For some time, We're Still Here served as Martin's main project, but he has slowly regained his productivity. As of October 2016, he also hosts weekly Fanfiction Fridays and Marik Plays Bloodlines, and it would seem that The Mark Remark is now available weekly as well, albeit in a more "lean and mean" form despite WWE's July 2016 brand split.
    • On the 15th of August 2023, at the end of a public blowup involving Tara Welker publicly accusing Martin and Team Four Star of enabling multiple abusive figures (which she later retracted for multiple reasons and apologized for), Martin revealed that this incident was the culmination of an utterly vicious smear campaign by Blake Swift, aka ShadyVox for Martin cutting ties with Blake years before.note  This resulted in years of mental issues for Martin, and also is one of the primary reasons why he refused to reprise his role as Nylocke for the TOME series, amongst other things.
  • Fake American: LK is British, but most of the characters he voices have American accents (despite being Japanese). He does a very convincing job. Parodied in a YGOTAS episode where Yugi briefly reverts to an audibly English accent when he gets a harpoon thrown at him, later redubbed in a flashback as I Am Very British.
  • He Also Did: Martin Billany was also an editor for the English dub script of Persona 5: The Animation, sneaking in a pro-wrestling reference in the process.
  • Promoted Fanboy: Is mostly known for his fan abridged series, but has appeared alongside actual voice actors at cons, and has since appeared in several professional voice-over roles.
    I was always the guy who sort of sat in the corner and yelled quotes from things. I was once one of those people. Now I make the quotes.
