Matt Williams, a.k.a. Welshy, is a reviewer on YouTube and formerly on Channel Awesome, as well as a member of the Channel Awesome Wiki staff. He can be found here, here and here. Always accompanied by a photo of Anne Hathaway, he does reviews with a focus on horror, like his Scream and Saw retrospectives, multiple Top 10 lists (often concerning Doctor Who) and two series called Why I Like... and My Problem With..., where he (quickly) goes into depth about something he does or does not like. Pretty straightforward really.He is also the question giver on Sad Panda Q&A and has something of a drinking problem.Announced on 17th May 2013 that he was leaving Channel Awesome and video making in general for personal reasons. He returned to internet video-making in October of 2014 on Phelous.com with fellow former TGWTG contributor Sad Panda... and promptly stopped again on 2015, apparently having left the internet review biz for good, though has made a cameo here and there (such as Linkara's review for Future's End).

Making a topical joke and then having a picture of whatever he joked about flash up with "Topical Joke of the Day" superimposed over it while a digitally pitched-up voice says "TOPICAL!"

The Cameo
 Welshy (Web Video) / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: The Cinema Snob does one in Welshy's review of Red Eye. In his Casino Royale (2006) review, Elisa appears as the Maven of the Eventide. Welshy pretends to be the guy who rules over Channel Awesome in Diamanda Hagan's review of The Dragon Lives Again. He got away with it without Wales being nuked by Hagan... so are you sure he isn't? He later returns in the 500th Episode of Atop the Fourth Wall as the source of the Bad Future.

Take That, Audience!
 Welshy (Web Video) / int_3ea462d7
comment
Take That, Audience!: Two in one during his farewell video, although much less “fans are losers” like the usual trope and more that TGWTG fandom is afraid of change, both in how they demanded Doug give up on anything else than Critic, and wanting to keep things the way they are because the site attracts people with Nostalgia Filter.

The Stinger

comment
The Stinger: Also happens a lot at the end of his videos, always a quick spoof of the Bad Robot Vanity Plate of a random shape running by and appearing in full view, showing what it is with a high pitch voice saying what it is before a sound clip of that random thing plays. What the shape is either has something to do with the review, something to do with Channel Awesome or just something completely random.

Big Bad: He's the cause of the Bad Future from Atop the Fourth Wall's 500th Episode. He swore vengeance on Linkara for never finishing their review of Dead Silence, which he claims was the catalyst of his retirement, and decided to Take Over the World by creating Brother Eye.

Promoted Fan Boy: He once had a YouTube account under the name of NostalgiaAVGNfan where he collected AVGN and NC reviews. Channel Awesome then asked him to do title sequences for several of their shows, and eventually gave him his own spot as a producer.

Joyfully shouting "BILLY!" whenever the puppet in question shows up during his Saw retrospective. He did try to not use it in the 6th part of it (citing this page as a reason why not), but gave in and let a newer version of the gag happen with a flashing pixel icon of him going from normal Welshy to himself when he dressed up as Billy. That flashing icon featured art from pixel artist James Carlson, who happened to have also done the art in the Cold Opening of Blockbuster Buster's The Smurfs review.

Nothing Is Scarier
 Welshy (Web Video) / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: Discussed. Welshy argues that trying to explain a monster's behavior (as with Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)) makes them less scary because it humanizes them; a truly "horrific" monster is one that can't be reasoned with.

Crossover: He does one with Sad Panda, MikeJ, Masako X and Film Brain in Forget About It: Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And another one with Film Brain on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. A review of Bloody Mallory with Sad Panda, Phelous, ChaosD1, Obscurus Lupa, Film Brain, Andrew Dickman, and Critical Marine. Did a crossover outside TGWTG with Mr TARDIS Reviews on the Doctor Who episode "Boom Town" (with Sad Panda appearing in a cameo). Did yet another one with Film Brain on Texas Chainsaw 3D

Running Gag: At first, a fake gag order that prevented him from saying Busy Street. Later on, it evolved into mocking the blog's founder. Making a topical joke and then having a picture of whatever he joked about flash up with "Topical Joke of the Day" superimposed over it while a digitally pitched-up voice says "TOPICAL!" Joyfully shouting "BILLY!" whenever the puppet in question shows up during his Saw retrospective.
