comment
Televoid! is a series of reactions to old television shows and instructional videos created by Brutalmoose in 2016.Unlike his normal reviews, Televoid! contains somewhat of a plot, and features much darker fare. From the very beginning of the first episode, it quickly becomes clear that something is very wrong. For one, the setting of the series is a sparsely decorated, pure black room with only a couch, a potted plant, and an old television in it. And, furthermore, the video glitches out when Ian attempts to explain the series at the beginning of the first episode.It only gets stranger and creepier from there.List of episodes: Beat the Clock (pilot) Bicycle Safety Camp Ricky Raccoon Shows the Way The Baby Game A Message to No One Safety: In Danger Out of Doors What Makes a Good Party?

Ambiguous Situation: The entire premise of the show, but more specifically, all of episode 5. Are the Ians in the two different rooms different people, or the same person but the one in the white room is a dream of the one in the black room? Did Ian get killed by someone or something- most likely whatever was keeping him in the room, kill himself, or let someone or something kill him?

Ominous Visual Glitch: Frequent, and as the show progresses, it starts to seem the glitches are actually physically harming Ian.

No Fourth Wall: Ian is not only fully aware of the audience watching him, but looks forward to their presence and frequently showcases fan art from them and letters emailed in, though said emails aren't always the same between what shows up on screen for a split second and what he reads out.

Messy Hair: Ian's interview of the first Baby Game baby in episode 5 causes him this. The second turns his eyes visibly tired, and the third results in Blood from the Mouth.

 Televoid! (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early Installment Weirdness: The pilot episode, focusing on an episode of Beat the Clock, lacked much of the Ontological Mystery elements of the series proper and used a different set. Considering comments from the creator and the fact it was removed from the show's playlist on Youtube, it can be assumed it isn't canon.

Surprise Creepy: At the end of episode 3, another Ian on the television starts introducing a game show that consists of racing baby dolls, which come to life in an unsettling, jerky stop motion style that even disturbs Ian.

comment
Time Skip: One seems to be implied between episodes 3 and 4, as at the start of episode 4, Ian's hair has grown much longer and it's clear he's rather sickly, or at the least hasn't slept much.

comment
And Now for Someone Completely Different: Possibly. The beginning of episode 5 shows a much more cheerful Ian in a white room instead of the previous black, and given the cuts back to the black room at the end of the episode, it's possible this Ian is a completely different person. Maybe.

 Televoid! (Web Video) / int_b8dbe475
comment
Blood from the Mouth: The Ian in the black room is seen with this at the end of episode 5, following several brief flashes of it on the Ian in the white room that all quickly vanished. In addition, judging by his coughing at the end of the video, it's possible it started in episode 4.

Mind Screw: The entire series is one at times, but especially the ends of episodes, in which glitches disrupt Ian's readings of emails from fans, a character from or like one from the show he just watched comes to interact with him, or it becomes clear his health is deteriorating.

White Void Room: Despite the typical setting being a black version of this trope, the white one appears in episode 5 before switching back to the old black one at the end of the episode.

comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Considering Ian doesn't remember how he got in the room, it's likely this trope is in effect. In addition, some comments from the Ian in the white room in episode 5 indicates perhaps it goes a bit farther than that.
