SovietWomble is a British streamer and self-proclaimed YouTube Phenomenon who is most known for his Bullshittery series, monthly videos that chronicle the misadventures of Womble and his friends as they attempt to play different games together, (for some definition of "together"). Womble is usually joined by some regular friends and teammates, most of them being fellow members of the online gaming clan ZF (pronounced the British way "Zed-Ef", standing for "Zero Fucks"). The videos are generally labelled "Random (insert-game-here) Bullshittery". They consist of a collection of funny moments, zany situations and the all-around chaos that comes naturally when a group of dorky and irreverent friends play together, complemented by his addition of subtitles and occasional Cutaway Gags that are edited in afterwards for comedic effect. He also streams regularly on his Twitch channel , which often provides the source material for later videos. His most prominent clanmates/collaborators include:

the clan is aware he's Vietnamese with a thick accent, but they like ribbing him about his English

Not to be confused with The Wombles, though this is indeed where Soviet gets his avatar and username.

Accidental Misnaming: Soviet parses "Holy N'Evil" as "Nevil" early in the of the "Arma 3 Bullshittery" series, much to N'Evil's annoyance, though whether out of habit or ease of pronunciation, he's still referred to as "Nevil" in later videos.

The Ace: Edberg is the most consistently lethal member of ZF in FPS games, more importantly the most consistently lethal person against the enemy team. He's even reached Global Elite in CS:GO several times and it's apparently high praise when he actually has hope for someone's skills (as opposed to the rest of the clan).

Ace Pilot: Cyanide, when it comes to providing CAS in Arma 3. While the rest of ZF don't really enjoy getting on an aircraft with him, he's never shown missing the target, is almost always shown being highly effective outside of a few situation out of his control, killed at least 40 enemy soldiers in a single CAS mission, and is never shown being shot down by enemy fire note the only times he's crashed are due to a) his computer crashing, b) him wanting to see if he could land on a bridge, and c) a one-in-a-million accident involving Soviet's squad machine gunner somehow headshotting him in the cockpit while Soviet's squad was suppressing an enemy force DayZ without crashing. Twice.

Achievements in Ignorance: In the first part of the Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery series, ZF starts off attacking a power plant (an early game objective), when TobiWan arrives with a stolen interceptor jet fighter (a difficult late game objective). What makes it even funnier is that Tobi was 1) new to the mod and had no idea what he just accomplished 2) immediately crashed and exploded it by doing absolutely nothing.

Ain't No Rule: Ain't no rule saying that a 5v5 CS:GO grudgematch between Womble and Cyanide that allows outsiders can't draft professional gamers without telling the other side. Womble exasperatedly mentions that he didn't think that that had to be a stated rule. This is made more amusing by Soviet's own prior claim that he himself was a "professional CS:GO player."

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: The result of a Drinking Game over a CS:GO session in "Part 3". Play is deteriorated (though hilariously enough, their scores seem to indicate they're still doing pretty well), speech is slurred, decisions are sub-optimal, and in the end Womble left his character just staring up at the sky for the last hour or so of the Twitch stream, he himself having gotten so drunk he just got up from his computer and wandered off to probably be sick/pass out.

Atomic F-Bomb: Cyanide can get... salty, at times. Cyanide: Pick up my negev! I'm not kidding dude, pick it up!

Sheep: [picks it up]

Cyanide: Thanks, Sheep! Thank you! I appreciate that, Sheep.

Sheep: [throws it outside the map]

Cyanide: I appreciate— FUCK YOU! FUUUCK! YOU! [Rage Quit] Pick up my negev! I'm not kidding dude, pick it up![picks it up]Thanks, Sheep! Thank you! I appreciate that, Sheep.I appreciate—

He also drops an amazing one in "Random Space Engineers Bullshittery (part 1)" after realizing he'd inadvertently colored his entire ship 2 different shades of yellow.

A Running Gag in the CSGO Bullshittery episodes is when Womble realizes his rank's going up, resulting in Cyanide and Edberg raging that Womble doesn't deserve his rank because they're better than him (and their own ranks are relatively close to his), which causes them to drop massive F-bombs. The last one was especially funny because Womble made Distinguished Master Guardian after his mouse died on him and he was useless for the entire game.

Author Avatar: As featured in 'official' art and fanart. Soviet Womble: A Womble in a Russian coat.

Cyanide: A Pringles can with a turban on its head.

Quebec: A cartoon bear.

Edberg: A skeleton wearing a sombrero and a poncho.

Tom: A crow.

Bad Boss: Cyanide occasionally lapses into Commissar-mode in CS:GO and summarily executes anyone (usually Soviet) he suspects of "desertion". Even tactical retreats or looking backwards momentarily.

Bait-and-Switch Comment: Cyanide: The only "B" word you should ever call a woman is "beautiful"... 'cuz bitches love it when you call 'em beautiful.

Berserk Button: Never call Womble a faggot. Smooth Void: [strums a guitar] ♫ Womble is a faggot... ♫

SovietWomble: Oh, fuck you. [guns him down]

For Cyanide, anything remotely positive happening to Soviet, especially Soviet going up the ranks.

Womble also hates Product Placement in his streams. Naturally, when Womble leaves the stream for a moment, everyone begins plugging Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, pre-order culture, and themselves, and Cyanide's own twitch channel, which leaves Womble furious when he gets back.

Captain Keyes' suicidal behaviour during the Escort Mission in the third level of Halo becomes this for Soviet and Cyanide, with a large part of their second stream being taken up by them trying to escort him, only for him to run straight at an Elite with a plasma sword, and dying. Or him standing on a grenade, and dying. Or him charging into a horde of enemies, and dying.

BFG: In "Random ARMA Bullshittery", Cyanide has this to say about A-10 Warthog armed with a 30mm gatling gun: Cyanide: I wouldn't recommend shooting at me, because your gun goes 'pew pew' but my fucking gun goes- BBBBRRRRRRRR! I wouldn't recommend shooting at me, because your gun goes 'pew pew' but my fucking gun goes-

Black-and-Gray Morality: In Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9. Yes, the Russians invaded and annexed the Republic of Altis to strengthen their influence over the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea, but they're also using their resources to expand public services and provide clean drinking water to areas of the island that had long been neglected by the previous government, are treating the locals well, hold a legitimate vote on whether or not the locals want to become part of Russia (although they probably knew they were gonna win after everything else that happened), and they are a lot better than the Badgers/M.I.L.F./the Resistance.

Blatant Lies: A fair amount of the humor in "Random [X] Bullshittery" montages are people making blatantly false claims (e.g. Soviet engaging in friendly fire then claiming that it was the enemy) despite any evidence to the contrary.

When the team decides to do an eco-round in CS:GO (only buy pistols to save money), Cyanide buys a belt-fed machine gun (literally the biggest weapon in the game) and claims it's "just an automatic pistol".

Book Ends: Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9 begins and ends with a montage of (rather well made) fake news clips setting up the story. The one at the start talks about the Russians invading the region. The one at the end talks about the Russians wiping out the Resistance, as well as talking about the various war crimes the Resistance committed, and how public opinion on the islands has shifted in favour of the Russians, both for bringing stability and actually doing a lot to improve peoples quality of life .

Break the Cutie: Any time Womble plays horror games, as he has said himself he "doesn't do well" with them. Most of the time he goes from Adorkable to a gibbering, nervous wreck within the first two minutes of the video. This happens to Cake when they play Viscera Cleanup Detail and Womble messes up the neat pile of boxes she had been meticulously arranging.

British Teeth: In one of his Twitch streams, he admitted to having a sweet tooth and not taking that much care of his teeth. Expectedly, the chat proceeded to make fun of him with this trope.

Buffy Speak: At times, the ZF clan are not the most eloquent bunch: Womble: Someone's running around in the thing with the wood and a balcony thing.

Moley: Fuckin' hell, explained like a pro. Someone's running around in the thing with the wood and a balcony thing.

Bullying a Dragon: During one part of the "Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery" videos, the clan gets bored of fighting Russians and desides to antagonize the Americans (and the rest of NATO) instead. To put it mildly, an utter Curb-Stomp Battle ensues. Womble: Okay, lets go poke the Yanks. [after "poking the Yanks"] Oh Christ, the Americans are bloody terrifying.

The Bus Came Back: In "Random PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery (part 2)", during Womble's sudden "over-edited" CSI-style montage, one of the characters listed is "Detective Clive", aka his companion rock from The Culling.

Call-Back: A raid on another base that was built into a cliffside in "Rust Bullshittery (part 1)" by ZF goes awry when the defenders get the idea of locking them inside so that they can't get out - Womble starts getting bathroom flashbacks. note In a previous video, Womble relayed a story of him being locked in his own bathroom for four hours because the key finally broke

This happens again in "Random GTA V Bullshittery" when Womble takes a shower and EVERYONE rushes to block the door.

When Cyanide reveals that the two "friends" on his team in "Random CS:GO Bullshitery (part 7)" are professional CS:GO players from EnVyUs, Womble says that he should have put in the rules that Cyanide wasn't allowed to get professional players for his team. Then NBK reminds him of a previous CS:GO Bullshittery where Womble held that he was a "professional" CS:GO player (since he makes videos of CS:GO on Youtube as his "profession").

As Womble picked up an AK-47 and reloaded it in Random CS:GO Bullshittery (Part 3), one of his teammates jokingly asks him if the rifle still had ammo left to shoot, a reference to Womble not checking his primary firearm for bullets in the previous CS:GO Bullshittery video. Later, Soviet dies with an AK-47, having exhausted its ammunition. Cyanide picks it up, not noticing it has no ammo, and dies with it. Cyanide: What the... it had no ammo! Soviet: How does it feel, Cyanide? Cyanide: Why would you drop me a gun with no ammo? Soviet: Because I DIED.

In Part 9 of Random Arma Bullshittery, while objecting to the massive number of war crimes the other members of the Resistance are committing, he references the fact that he's already known for calling in an airstrike on a village of civilians, but points out that, unlike what the others are doing, that was legitimately a mistake caused by him and his squad not realising the targets were civilians until the strike was already happening, versus the other guys purposefully executing surrendered enemies.

Can't Hold His Liquor: Soviet was the lightest weight member of ZF that played the CS:GO drinking game, leading Cyanide to taunt him about his low alcohol limit. Then again, depending on your standards, simply being able to survive that many shots within a few hours is a feat in and of itself and even Womble was still more or less coherent after 8 drinks. Also worth considering was that Womble had no shot glass to measure how much he was actually drinking and just taking swigs off the bottles.

Car Fu: A staple of the ZF school of driving. Taken to its logical conclusion in "Random GTA V Bullshittery" where the clan plays Sumo with cars.

Notably, it works a few times, twice in ARMA III and once in Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. "Ramming speed!"

Car Porn: Cyanide (who famously has an SLS AMG), Waffle, and Gambit are notable car enthusiasts, to the point of calling for a time-out in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to just talk about cars (much to Soviet's dismay). When they went to a strip club in Grand Theft Auto Online Soviet realized that Cyanide and Carton were not actually drooling over the dancers but the cars parked outside. Cyanide: Look at it! The doors open upwards! Look at it!

Cassandra Truth: Played With in "Random PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery". With Soviet perching on top of a high balcony, Cyanide tells him the game hasn't implemented fall damage yet, and eggs him on to jump off to see for himself, which given Cyanide's track record with lying, Soviet refuses. After a rather lengthy back-and-forth, Soviet finally caves in and jumps off... and takes no damage, much to his surprise and Cyanide's joy. Cyanide: I'M NOT A LIAR!

Cat Scare: Womble tends to play horror games slowly and with extreme caution if he can help it, and often times he spooks himself due to his in-game character doing something more abruptly than he expected like slamming a door open in Outlast or dropping loud items in Monstrum.

During the tense "The Fairfax Residence - Swat 4 ", as Womble and Cyanide are investigating the house and are listening to what sounds like something struggling against the wall note Many commentators believe it's just a radiator , both are startled by a sudden voice blurting "PENIS!" appears from out of nowhere. It turns out it was someone else still in their Teamspeak channel, who apologizes and leaves .

Chekhov's Gag: In "DayZ Bullshittery", one of the ZF rather spectacularly flies a cargo aircraft through a small gap and launches flares as it pulls up, much to everyone's amazement. Later in the episode someone steals a helicopter from Womble's friend, and after luring them to the same location, this trick is used once again to distract the thief as Womble kills him and retakes the helicopter.

Cluster Bleep-Bomb: In Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery (part 1), a section of the video records all the moments when ZF clan said something racist. Every racist word in the section is bleeped out, and one clip towards the end has a sentence-long bleep.

Comically Inept Healing : Soviet's brief stints as medic in ARMA 3 result in this. Soviet: Shit! I've accidentally given one of you LSD!

Companion Cube: In "Random The Culling Bullshittery Part 2", Soviet becomes enamored with a rock he finds and names it "Clive" (he even captions him as such in the inventory), and there's an extended sequence of him interacting with "Clive" and speaking on his behalf.

Corrupt the Cutie: Soviet tries to invoke this after Nep disconnects from a match, ordering Cake to take her place as "the eye candy". It... doesn't go as planned. Soviet: I said "moan seductively", not "have a fucking seizure".

Cuteness Proximity: He has uploaded a video of his French bulldog puppy, Lulu, on his channel. In his Twitch streams, he is often heard cooing over and being affectionate toward her. There's also Cake, as seen below as The Cutie.

Since late 2017 Womble sometimes switches to a "Lulu Cam" in some streams, which showcases Lulu in all her glory on a couch. The chat is predictably inundated with cooing over her every time it occurs.

"Random Arma 3 Bullshittery Part 9" has him coo over NPC dogs on two separate instances ... only for his clanmates to respectively shoot and run over said dogs soon after, much to his horror.

The follow-up to the above in "Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery Part 1" has him plead with his Clan not to shoot a dog that wandered into the crossfire, and he sounds genuinely heartbroken when the dog is predictably shot dead after Cyanide declares it to be armed with a suicide vest and thus a valid target.

Damn You, Muscle Memory!: An In-Universe example at the end of "Random Player Unknowns Battlegrounds Bullshittery Part 3". An opponent tried to surprise Womble and a teammate and Womble returned fire, but his gun ran empty before he could kill him so Womble ran up to him clicking the middle mouse button to use a melee attack a la Call of Duty or Halo...forgetting in the heat of the moment that this game didn't have such an action. He dies as a result.

A Date with Rosie Palms: Masturbation is discussed somewhat frequently among ZF throughout the Bullshittery videos. Just from Womble himself, Button Mashing from playing games tends to induce what he calls "wanker's cramp" (which Cyanide claims he's never experienced). He also jokes at one point that editing and uploading YouTube videos doesn't take him as long as people think; he just spends most of his time "jerking off all day."

In "Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery (Part 1)", he admits to having masturbated to Hanoi Hannah, of all things. Soviet: Must admit, not my proudest wank.

Designer Babies: In CSGO Bullshittery Part 8, Cyanide claims he was an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) baby. Womble naturally snarks he was "genetically bred to be the perfect retard."

Disproportionate Retribution: Out of boredom, ZF decides to antagonize the U.S. Military during "Random Arma 3 Antistasi Bullshittery Part 3". The result? Millions of dollars of drones, attack helicopters, and special forces rain absolute hell on a small insurgency in response to blowing up a $50,000 NATO truck. Soviet: Right, what we're learning from this is that the Americans have absolutely no chill! Digby: (later) Someone in my chat just asked me how it feels to lead an insurgency that elicits a bigger response than bin Laden did.

Distaff Counterpart: "CS:GO Bullshittery" introduces Nep, who turns out to be both a great FPS player and reveals she was a former professional singer. Womble jokes that she could replace Edberg, and Cyanide remarks that she is "literally the woman Edberg".

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: In "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 7)", after beating Cyanide's team the first six rounds of the match, Soviet types "get gud" in all chat. Little did he know that Cyanide's "friends" were actually NBK and Enkay from EnVyUs "Dicky": getting good now

Dreadful Musician: Cyanide has an absolutely wretched singing voice. Not that it stops his singing from being absolutely hilarious, mind you.

Drinking Game: The latter half of "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 3)" is a one of these over a game of CS:GO - 1 drink for each time the player dies, 3 drinks if the player dies by a knife, 1 drink if someone else gets a knife kill. Alcohol-Induced Idiocy ensues, especially for SovietWomble given his low skill level in the game compared to others in the clan. It ended with him becoming so plastered he forgot he was streaming and physically wandered off.

Drives Like Crazy: Cyanide at times, especially in "Playerunknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery": Womble: Oh, car.

Cyanide: Whoa! [Slamming into a wall and landing facing the opposite way]

Womble: Obviously it's Cyanide.

Cyanide: Taxi service! Oh, car.Whoa! [Slamming into a wall and landing facing the opposite way]Taxi service!

Back in the DayZ Bullshittery days, Marbles had this reputation, frequently getting his vehicle stuck in the most improbable positions.

Dungeon Bypass: During "Random DayZ Bullshittery - Siege at Willow Lake (part 2)", the squad attempts this after accidentally trapping themselves on the castle, some stuck on the roof with a locked door blocking their way down. They spend a while chipping away at the cinderblock door with their crowbars (estimated to take about 1,200 hits), but the castle's owners return and wipe most of them out, forcing the survivors to retreat by rescue helicopter.

A similar thing happens in "Random Rust Bullshittery", where the clan stages a raid on a large enemy base, but in the process gets locked inside by its owners knowing they can keep them trapped. Womble comes up with the plan to make tools using the materials they just pilfered to break through the walls, and after several minutes of picking, this time, they successfully manage to do so and escape.

Epic Fail: While playing through the Arma 3 Antistasi mod, they manage to cause a fatal script error that crashes the server host, losing Commander Petros (the head of the rebellion and the win condition of the mod) in the process. Gambit then tries to go into the debug menu to get him back, which then undoes the team's entire progress, while not even getting Petros back along the way. And without access to Vesper's (the server owner) server commands, the playthrough ends in failure. Gambit: The server is totally fucked, holy shit. We lost Petros, and then stabbed the server in the heart trying to fix it. Vesper's going to come back and say that like, the server host's burned to the ground or something.

Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Almost always used whenever Nevil is speaking in any of Soviet's videos because of the clan's massive difficulty to understand what he's saying thanks to his thick accent and use of broken English.

Every Bullet Is a Tracer: An interesting part of the subtitle of his videos is that nearly every single bullet fired in his videos have subtitles follow where the bullet gets fired into.

Exact Words: "CS:GO Bullshittery (Part 5)", Womble was screwing around one round by tossing a Molotov in the path of his teammates, two of whom got burned. That particular round his side won and Womble happened to win MVP, which meant the game auto-generated a stat related to him that was missing some critical context: Cyanide: [reading the announcement] "SovietWomble torched two players with fire." They don't mention those two players are fucking ours .

Cyanide and Womble are stuck in Inferno's archway to B. Cyanide asks Womble to run after he throws a flashbang to the end of the hallway. Womble proceeds to run the opposite direction down the hallway. Cyanide: [beat] I'd like for you to know that you're a piece of human shit.

Cyanide promised Womble he would subscribe to Womble's Twitch stream if he got a kill with the R8 Revolver in "CS:GO Bullshittery (Part 6)". Cyanide didn't specify, though, that it had to be an enemy kill, which results in Soviet simply shooting Cyanide in the face and winning the bet.

Fake Nationality: Invoked. Edberg isn't actually Mexican (he's a Paraguayan-born Swedish national) but everyone jokes that he is anyways.

Failed a Spot Check: Frequently in CS:GO. Notably, a barely-concealed CT popped out from behind a crate and liquidated both Womble and Nep immediately after Womble and Cyanide cracked wise about how they would make incompetent real-life terrorists. Womble: How did neither of us notice that guy?!

Flat "What": Womble's reaction to someone sticking a mine detector in his face in the beginning of "Random Arma 3 Bullshittery (part 5)".

The Friend Nobody Likes: Cyanide seems to be this way in Womble's videos, if the fact that he has been kicked out of a CS:GO game by unanimous vote in the middle of a round by his own side (twice!) is any indication. Although those two times were mainly For the Lulz of messing with Cyanide.

Ironically, this is what Cyanide claims Womble is. Cyanide: [to his girlfriend] Don't talk to him, we don't like him.

From the Mouths of Babes: In "Random DayZ Bullshittery (part 8)", the clan meets the daughter of one of its members named Georgia, who is young enough that she can barely spell her own name... yet is able to interject with "I kill you." Georgia: Dad, remind me... I kill you. See ya! :)

Follow the Bouncing Ball: In Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9, the Badgers/M.I.L.F. anthem employs this.

Funny Background Event: During the Drinking Game during "Random CS:GO Bullshittery (part 3)", astute viewers may notice that not only is the ZF clan actually winning their matches despite getting increasingly plastered, the enemy team is exploding with rage in allchat, even accusing the clan of hacking.

After Cyanide and his girlfriend utterly fail at a tandem setup in "Random CS:GO Bullshittery (part 4)" (Cyanide using the keyboard and his girlfriend using the mouse), Edberg at one point puts in the game's text channel "still better than womble".

In "Random CS:GO Bullshittery (part 5)", there's a scene where Soviet's team votes for a timeout just so Cyanide and Edberg can discuss cars. The scene is focused on Womble's annoyance with the tedious conversation, but Nep can be seen silently dancing with her gun almost off-camera to the left.

In "Random PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery Part 3," when others are doing the "Daddy Soviet" joke and Womble tells them to stop it, notice how his shadow reveals an additional shadow of his subtitles above his head, tracked like he was viewing someone else from third-person view. He's in first person mode when this happens, so he went an extra mile just to add it.

Fun with Acronyms: One of the names for La Résistance in "Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9" is the M olos I ndependence and L iberation F ront, or MILF . Womble isn't down with it, but it unfortunately for him, it sticks a lot more than "The Badgers".

olos ndependence and iberation ront, or . Womble isn't down with it, but it unfortunately for him, it sticks a lot more than "The Badgers". In the following Antistasi campaign, while Womble continues to push for "The Badgers", he's once again overridden, this time with the Workers And National Kinsmen (or the Workers Autonomous National Kollective) as WANK.

Fun with Subtitles: Probably the videos' most defining feature. Subtitles are usually positioned on screen (from the viewer's point of view) so that they are right above or on top of the player speaking or the nearest edge if the speaker is off screen, like the viewer is watching a moving comic strip. The subtitles are also prone to being dynamic: for example, the clip of Cyanide's (attempt at) singing in "ARMA 3 Bullshittery Part 3" has his words being thrown in with an arc and dropping to the ground one by one as they hit the far side of the screen.

in "ARMA 3 Bullshittery Part 3" has his words being thrown in with an arc and dropping to the ground one by one as they hit the far side of the screen. The subtitles even go as far as to turn bullets into tracers for the viewers to follow, particularly when a really cunning enemy in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive took down his three-man squad in just three shots, with the last "pew" filling up the entire screen for a single frame. Other times, the subtitles are used to represent a player, object or an object making noise before it falls apart upon being destroyed.

For the more technically curious, Project Kino has done a semi-satirical video essay discussing how Soviet uses subtitles .

The Gadfly: A good portion of the videos involves clan members intentionally screwing with one another off for the laughs - for example, throwing AWPs onto the roof in CS:GO when another clan member is asking for it. (That much of the remainder of the videos is them screwing with one another with their incompetence should say something.)

Gasshole: Among Soviet's Twitch followers his dog Lulu has developed this reputation because in many streams he will mention Lulu farting in his vicinity, often more than once. Sometimes the farts are even loud enough to be heard through Soviet's mic.

Genre Shift: In "Random DayZ Bullshittery (Part 12)" Womble notes that Cramps has been modding the server. The game then shifts into "Operation Blue Waffle," a pastiche of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, complete with exploding curry jars, racially stereotypical unit barks, and an AI bandit sniping Gambit out of cover in a single shot.

"Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9" has something of an actual story arc, following the Resistance as it fights against the Russians, all while Slowly Slipping Into Evil, and begins and ends with a montage of (fake, but well made) news broadcasts to set up and close out the story.

Girl-on-Girl Is Hot: Played completely straight by the guys during "Random Space Engineers Bullshittery (Part 2)". Gladpus: Speaking of gay, I'm gonna go and do some gay stuff right now.

Cyanide: Can you send us a picture? Or video?

Womble: Yes. We want pictures please!

TeamSpeak Announcer: User left your channel.

Cyanide: No!

Womble: Oh goddammit. Lesbians never listen, do they?

Gratuitous German: Playerunknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery has Cyanide reveal he's been working on his German, which Poro admits is pretty good. Naturally, Cy's grasp of knowledge extends solely to ordering food. Cyanide: Ich liebe Hänchenflugel. note I love chicken wings.

Gratuitous Spanish: Cyanide, despite being (Singaporean) Indian, utters random Spanish or swear words once in a while. That being said, Cyanide seems to know some Spanish anyway. Cyanide: I become Spanish when I'm scared.

Heroic BSoD: During his playthrough of Alien: Isolation, Womble experiences several, experiencing several near panic-attacks at the sheer intensity of the game (not helped by the fact by the fact he admits he horror games are a weakness of his) and requiring several breaks to calm himself down. He eventually braces through it all, but even once he hits the credits, he collapses in overwhelmed sobbing.

Hidden Depths: In "Random Arma 3 Bullshittery (part 3)", Ed reveals himself to be a good singer, doing an impressive rendition of a verse from Bohemian Rhapsody. Cyanide: He learned how to sing from me.

Due to Singapore's national service, Cyanide, of all people, is actually ex-firefighter/paramedic/emergency services. He's also studying economics at post-secondary.

Despite his antics and goofiness, Soviet is generally a fairly effective squad leader in Arma 3.

While streaming Blade & Sorcery, Soviet often takes breaks between rounds to educate his audience about the real-life applications and tactics of the game's various medieval-era weapons.

Hoist by His Own Petard: The "CS:GO Bullshittery" videos feature misthrown grenades by Soviet Womble or some other ZF members, the result usually victimizing themselves and others. Part 8 of that Bullshittery series has Edberg calling out Soviet about still not knowing how to throw grenades even after hundreds of hours in the game right after the latter blows himself up with one.

In "PUBG Bullshittery" when Cyanide snarks that the NESW directionals should stand for Nobody Enjoys Soviet Womble, Womble takes out a Molotov Cocktail and tries to incinerate his team for agreeing. It blows up in his hand from holding it too long and he immediately self-immolates.

Honor Before Reason: When playing as terrorist in CS:GO, Cyanide team-kills anyone he deems as "deserters to the cause." This includes merely turning around from the point of attack, as Cyanide interprets that as being tempted; and him getting hit with friendly fire, which he interprets as betrayal.

Hypocritical Humor: Womble himself often engages in the same griefing, trolling, asshole-ish behaviors he berates his clanmates for, usually to humorous effect. After yelling at everyone to stop being racist in "Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery", he finds a shrine to Ho Chi Minh and goes "This is where they learn lessons about Ho Chi Minh, the inventor of the instant noodle. Konnichiwa!"

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: In the "Random Dead by Daylight Bullshittery", Womble gets a lot of mileage out of one of the levels being called "The Ironworks of Misery", especially as he immediately gets chased down by the killer. Womble: Oh god, he's coming up the thing! Have I just trapped myself inside the Ironworks of Misery? Up the Staircase of Woe? Jump out the Window of Pain! On the Catwalk of No Hope! ( : Oh god, he's coming up the thing! Have I just trapped myself inside the Ironworks of Misery? Up the Staircase of Woe? Jump out the Window of Pain! On the Catwalk of No Hope! ( runs facefirst into the killer ) OH MY GOD HE'S ON THE CATWALK OF NO HOPE! Get back up there quickly, Window of Misery, WINDOW OF MISERY!

Identical Stranger: Vocally, at least — in "Space Engineers Bullshittery (part 2)" the clan is introduced to Zebedee via Teamspeak, whom Womble immediately notes sounds exactly like him. Zebedee does Womble's "It's fine, it's fine" catchphrase and sounds so close to Womble that Cyanide immediately gets up out of his chair and leaves because his brain couldn't take it.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: The majority of Soviet's videos are titled "Random (insert-game-here) Bullshittery (part X)".

Idiot Plot invoked : During "Random Far Cry 3 Bullshittery", Womble gets frustrated by the fact the game fully expects Jason — a random everyman with no prior training — to save his friends from pirates, lamenting his inability to contact the local police or the U.S. embassy to make things much easier.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Apparently a common trait for ZF members; either they can't hit the intended target for shit, or they somehow end up teamkilling. In one DayZ Bullshittery, Cyanide claims there's a gun named after the ZF clan, which Womble jokes "fires only every third shot," while another clan member says it "only targets allies."

Incompetence, Inc.: ZF make for some awful cleaning contractors in Viscera Cleanup Detail. The first group spent their time making a bigger mess than they started with, bludgeoning each other with mops, "cleaning" by just shoving all the dirty furniture out the airlock, and crash the server from spawning too many buckets. When it's just Cyanide and Womble, Cyanide mostly dicks around and makes Womble miserable.

Insistent Terminology: Soviet Womble is an "internet phenomenon" and a "professional CS:GO player" (professional in that he streams the game as his source of income). This comes back to bite him when he gets obliterated by actual pros, who point out that their presence is fair game because Womble himself claims to be a professional.

Cyanide, frequently overlapping with Blatant Lies. It's an "automatic pistol", not the largest machine gun in the game; it's a "strategic ambush", not blatant camping; it's "selective viewing', not stream censorship; civilians are "acceptable casualties"; and so on...

Womble almost always refers to Cyanide's girlfriend as "Cyanide's Super-Hot Girlfriend".

Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Played for Laughs in "Random Rising Storm 2: Vietnam Bullshittery (part 2)" with Womble berating his clanmates for constantly misidentifying the nationality of the Vietcong, from Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, etc. At one point, Womble himself stumbles and bewilderingly almost calls them Mexicans.

It Works Better with Bullets: "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 2)", with only a few players still alive Womble swaps out his P90 for an AK-47 not realizing the ammo count in the corner read 0/0 for 23 seconds. He only finds out it's empty when he tries to kill the last enemy... who kills him first with an AWP.

In part 3, this happens to Cyanide when he picks up Soviet's weapon, who just ran out of bullets before he died with it. Of course, Cyanide tries to find a reason to blame Soviet for it happening anyways.

While being pinned down by gunfire in "Random Pavlov Bullshittery", Soviet attempts to counter his aggressors by tossing a grenade, which might have done some good if he had actually pulled the safety pin off before lobbing it.

Just for the Heli of It: In "Arma 3 Bullshittery (Part 6)", Soviet tries to talk down Cyanide from bringing an attack helicopter to what amounts to a simple recon mission. Cyanide: Logically speaking, we want to assure the highest possible chance of success. The helicopter will provide that, see? We don't want to go under-armoured.

Womble: Okay, but at the same time we have no way of knowing whether or not —

Cyanide: [interrupts] No, no, no, no, no...

Womble: — You can't just bring a fucking attack helicopter on any mission!

Cyanide: ... You're wrong! You're wrong! You're wrong!

Knife Nut: Over the course of repeated streams of the VR title Blade & Sorcery, Soviet develops a strong preference for daggers, particularly for Dual Wielding or stabbing Shield Bearing Mooks in the back via telekinesis.

Laser-Guided Karma: "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 7)", Soviet challenges Nep to a knife fight, who doesn't want to at first because she doesn't trust Soviet not to just shoot her. Soviet throws down his Scout to entice her out (while keeping his pistol on him) - when she does approach, he switches to his pistol and gets a few shots off before she pulls out her shotgun and kills him in one headshot.

Whenever somebody dicks around in "CS:GO" (like slamming the same door repeatedly just because) and gets killed for it, Womble will usually add the subtitle "DESERVED".

Laughing Mad: During a stream of Silent Hunter III, Womble learned of how U-1206 was sunk due to a mishap with a toilet note U-1206 had a brand new advanced toilet system that came with a complicated instruction manual. Captain Karl Adolf Schlitt had to go, and after he was finished he tried to flush the toilet from the manual himself instead of getting the toilet technician. When Schlitt did eventually get the specialist, the specialist opened the outside valve when the inside valve was still open as well. The water flooded the batteries, filling the sub with chlorine gas and forcing them to surface. When they were on the surface, they were discovered by a British patrol and bombed. One man died in the attack, three in the heavy seas after the u-boat was scuttled, and 46 men were captured.

was sunk due to a mishap with a toilet He gets this again of the "Stress Laughter" variety during his Alien: Isolation playthrough. It gets to the point where he has to pause the game and take a break, and in the background you can hear him pacing and giggling nervously. It's admittedly a bit creepy.

Lethal Chef: A variant occurs with Womble when he attempted to make a banana and mango smoothie using a liquidizer he got but he put a giant chunk of clumped together ice cubes instead of individual ice cubes, and thus... Womble: Erhm... My vision kind of went white with a sort of mango'y tint and... And now... After that... Erhm... My vision kind of went white with a sort of mango'y tint and... And now... After that... my kitchen is pretty much laminated in a thin layer of banana and mango smoothie

The Load: Womble in CS:GO, to the extent that apparently his nickname within ZF is "The Handicap".

Mad Libs Catchphrase: A Running Gag in Womble's Twitch is for him to answer the constant queries on when his next video would be out with, "I've decided to quit YouTube to become a/an [Insert Random Job Here]." One instance had him reply that he'd decided to quit YouTube to focus on his career... as a YouTuber.

Magikarp Power: Soviet's Doomsday shotgun rounds are worthless at ARMA's normal engagement range, but as soon as he brings them into an urban close-quarters environment he gets almost thirty frags, demolishes several buildings, and blows up a tank. Cyanide: We can see

Womble: When I said it We can see concisely where you've been, Soviet, by tracking the fucking buildings. When I said it negated cover, I was being serious.

Meaningful Name: Chinny claims to have bought the explosives that failed to blowup the factory in Antistasi Part 2 from a man called Sketchy Irishman. Womble points out that the name should have clued him in that the guy was a sketchy Irishman and his explosives probably weren't good, but Chinny notes that the fact that he was willing to sell bombs to resistance fighters/terrorists is just as likely to be the source of his sketchiness. Womble: Could you not have bought it from the Totally Legitimate and Highly Competent Irishman?!

Misspelling Out Loud: "CS:GO Part 6", at one point before game start Cyanide is texting. Cyanide: How do you spell "luscious"? Soviet: L-U-S-C-C-I-O-U-S-T. beat) Cyanide: ...what!? Fuck off!

Ms. Fanservice: Nep is easily the most popular girl in the streams both for being the best player and the prettiest one around. It seems that the clan is fond of having at least one in the best scenarios. Womble: [Nep disconnects] Oh no! What will we do without the eye candy?

Cake: Okay! [Nep disconnects] Oh no! What will we do without the eye candy? Cake! You're the new eye candy!Okay!

Multi National Team: The trope is invoked in a "SWAT 4 Bullshittery" clip where each of the four players come from different countries (Womble - United Kingdom, Cyanide - India note living in Singapore , Gambit - Germany, Phoenix - United States). Does nothing to stop them from tasing each other for the hell of it. It's supposed to represent world politics, Germany's harassing India, the U.K tries to calm things down then the U.S. barges in exclaiming "You're all my bitches! All of you!"

, Gambit - Germany, Phoenix - United States). Does nothing to stop them from tasing each other for the hell of it. It's supposed to represent world politics, Germany's harassing India, the U.K tries to calm things down then the U.S. barges in exclaiming "You're all my bitches! All of you!" The ZF clan in general, as members are based in various countries and play together (for some definition of the term) at various times in various games.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The Badgers/M.I.L.F./La Résistance in "Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9" count if you consider their original objective of Altis liberation from Russian occupation before they start Slowly Slipping Into Evil. They start committing so many war crimes and heinous actions that public support (and even the support of NATO) ends up going to the Russians instead.

No One Should Survive That: "ARMA 3 Bullshittery (part 2)", the squad is taking a quick break in a chapel with one of the members behind the podium - Womble himself is in the front pew beginning a confession when someone else throws a frag grenade behind the podium. Womble and the others flee as far as they can before the grenade detonates and spreads fragmentation every which way — he asks for a status check and the one behind the podium stands up from his prone position completely none worse for the wear. Through Soviet's befuddlement at how he's still alive, Rotary proclaims it to be a sign from God.

Happened again in Part 9. Soviet attempts to take out a pair of Russian soldiers in a small building. He shoots one, but the other is hidden around the door corner. He decides to throw a grenade into the room; it bounces around the corner and explodes (scattering "pew" subtitles against the near wall). Soviet and a teammate then enter the room...only for them to be both gunned down by the remaining soldier, who was still alive and lying prone around the door. Womble: What the fuck was he made of?!

No Sense of Direction: A mild variant; a minor Running Gag with Cyanide is the fact he forgets cardinal directions, and constantly has to be reminded of "Never Eat Sea Weed". Cyanide: ...or, as I've been told and like to call it, Nobody Enjoys Soviet Womble.

Now You Tell Me: During "Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9)", Womble tests some AI assignment settings in the Antistasi mod they were using. Rorkiy messaged him that "Did I mention that [the enemy] eventually zeroes in on the mortar fire?" AFTER Womble fires a smoke round and attracts the attention of the Russian air force .

Oh, Crap!: Womble's reaction in "ARMA 3 Bullshittery (part 1)" after Cyanide rather calmly asked why they had called for fire support at 225199 - their current location. Womble: Team 1! Team 1, fucking scatter!

Again in "ARMA 3 Bullshittery (part 7)" after Womble realises that the Su-25 flying overhead is lining up for a strafing run on their current location. Tigernos: No, that's an Su-25!

Sarissa: That's an Su-25, that's a

Moogle: Yeah, that's not-that's not friendly!

Womble: Oh.

Cyanide: Well thank you Moogle for that incredible piece of information...

Womble: Err, guys? It seems to be, erm, errr, it's coming straight towards us! RUN AWAY! No, that's an Su-25!That's an Su-25, that's a Frogfoot Yeah, that's not-that's not friendly!Well thank you Moogle for that incredible piece of information...Err, guys? It seems to be, erm, errr, it's coming straight towards us! RUN AWAY!

Womble again in "ARMA 3 Bullshittery (part 9)" when he accidentally alerts the Russians to the headquarters of La Résistance by testing too many mortar rounds, which moves on him with several gunships

Womble has a massive one that heralds the end of his sanity during his Alien: Isolation playthrough: after nearly losing his mind evading the homicidal android guards, he enters a baggage terminal and walks past an air duct to check a suitcase for supplies....and then turns back around to notice the tell-tale Xenomorph drool coming from the duct... Womble: [makes a horrified gasp that would make : [makes a horrified gasp that would make Attack on Titan expressions look like mild dismay in comparison] No, no no no. Don't be that. Not now, don't be that. Don't do that. Don't be that. (Motion detector beeps and shows something approaching fast) No...! Don't be that. Please don't be that. DON'T BE THAT!

OOC Is Serious Business: Cyanide throughout "The Fairfax Residence" in SWAT 4, he was very much out of his usual character, not cracking a joke and he was genuine when he heard a noise that sounded like someone pushing up against a door jamb (turns out it was simply a radiator). The only time when he went back into his usual character was when he decided to pepper ball the killer, but even that is a marked downgrade of the silly behavior that normally characterizes Soviet Womble's videos, especially since it's quite obvious that he's not doing it to troll Soviet (He only did it after Soviet purposefully reminded him that he's carrying the non-lethal pepper ball gun), but because he legitimately hates the suspect.

To a lesser extent, Cyanide is considerably less Trollish and actually demands that the survivors work together during "Random Dead By Daylight Bullshittery" because he's too scared shitless to do his usual shtick. He's just as loud and lively, however.

In general, when Cyanide isn't goofing off, he's actually dangerously competent, and a rather effective leader to boot. This video shows him in full seriousness mode, leading his squad into the middle of a besieged town to extract a fellow fireteam, issuing orders and remaining (relatively) calm even as the entire operation goes pear-shaped.

Overly Long Gag: "CS:GO Bullshittery (part 7)" has a rather extended montage of Cyanide getting a hold of a bunch of did-you-know facts and starts reading them all out loud, to everyone's dismay. In the succeeding CS:GO Bullshittery Part 8, before actually starting a serious conversation, he starts with "Did you know?" which causes the rest of the team to groan aloud.

Perverse Sexual Lust: In "Random Arma Bullshittery (part 6)", the entire reason Cyanide demands his squad press on a brutal rescue mission despite many people having already been injured or died is because the hostage is Sophia Miacova. Until he actually sees who "she" is , and later he bitterly rejects any missions to rescue "her" again. Cyanide: I will have my head in between her heavily-muscled thighs!

Police Brutality: In SWAT 4, if ZF aren't being horribly abusive to a suspect or a hostage/bystander, it's because they're already busy tasing/beating/shooting each other. Cyanide: Oh my God, there are people watching us teabag a civilian!

Womble: Hello! Hi there, civilians! Protect and serve, protect and serve...

Gambit: Professional police work, ladies and gentlemen, professional police work.

Poor Communication Kills: In "Random Arma Bullshittery (part 9)", the squad notices an enemy helicopter approaching them after a successful base raid, but it turns out it's Rorkiy, who tells everyone through the walkie-talkie channel to hold fire. Unfortunately, due to the heavy rain garbling the sound, Womble shoots it down with an anti-air rocket right as he's being told it's friendly.

Porn Stash: In "DayZ Bullshittery Part 7", Womble said he had 5 "fap folders" totaling 136 GB of porn on his computer, "all sorted into varying degrees of obscenity."

Put on a Bus: Phoenix was rather prominent in early Bullshitteries as the "Token American" of the clan, with his girlfriend WhiskeyChick getting a fair amount of screen time as well. He would disappear after the DayZ videos, however, due to some nasty behind-the-scenes trouble between ZF clan members, resulting in him getting kicked from the clan. He was accepted back years later, but due to the clan expanding significantly and Soviet having an established party to play with, it's highly unlikely he'll ever be seen in another Bullshittery. Official word from the Reddit FAQ is that Phoenix and a few others from the early days of ZF "do whatever they want" now, and leaves it at that.

Rage Quit: Cyanide does this several times when things in CS:GO go particularly pear-shaped for him in the process of play. In Part 1, he lets out a Big "NO!" and Rage Quits right after Edberg knifes him (Cyanide had been the last remaining ZF member to not get knifed by him); in Part 5 he asks Sheep to pick up the Negev machine gun for him (having already died in the round) and starts thanking Sheep when Sheep does pick it up but immediately drops an Atomic F-Bomb and Rage Quits when Sheep tosses the gun over a fence right before the round resets.

Ramming Always Works: Despite the fact Reality Ensues when doing this in Space Engineers, they tend to ram each other in their ships, particularly Cyanide while flying the Hunter. Their ship they built and battled with at the end of Part 2 weaponized this even further by placing explosives at the bow of the ship so when they rammed the enemy and then reversed, the bombs would be left inside (although the mechanism failed), and the battle was narrowly won by Cyanide burrowing their ship into the opposing ship to gut their power core.

Soviet's first time driving the M1A2 Abrams in ARMA III was a little clumsy but he did get a moment when an enemy APC just happened to show up, while Cyanide and the commander were busy trying to get clearance to engage, Soviet just simply reversed then went full speed, knocking the APC over and it exploded.

In one scene in "Playerunknown's Battlegrounds Bullshittery," after running out of bullets, Womble attempts to drive his truck into another truck with an enemy hiding behind it. It works, instantly killing him.

Refuge in Audacity: When they make easily offensive and crude comments, they do it either over-the-top or extremely casually that it comes off as humorous. Especially since a many of the racially insensitive remarks are made by people who are that race (see Cyanide's many jokes about Indians).

Seen literally in an episode of Arma III Bullshittery, where Soviet inadvertantly shoots the wrong teammate whilst trying to punish Cyanide for advertising EA in his stream. When asked to explain himself by his CO, Soviet shoots him too and books it.

Screams Like a Little Girl: Soviet has some giggly screams when he panics, which he tends to subtitle as "girly screaming". He apparently does this off streams, too. In "Random DayZ bullshittery (part 14)", he relayed a story of how he got stuck in his bathroom without a phone and was screaming and banging at the walls for help for three and a half hours. When a neighbor finally called the fire department who came and freed him, they told Womble that they "got a report that a woman was stuck in her bathroom."

Cyanide can devolve into high-pitched shrieks of terror when he's genuinely scared, as evidenced by "Random Dead By Daylight Bullshittery".

Self-Deprecation: The clan as a whole is aware sometimes that they are not super-elite pros in the games they play, especially CS:GO. Cyanide: It'd be great if they (ISIS) learnt to think from us, because then they'd be completely useless and not a threat to anyone.

Shaped Like Itself: During his "Dead by Daylight Bullshittery", Soviet is searching for a generator to activate, inquiring about its general appearance in order to locate one faster. Soviet: I don't even know what they look like!

Gambit: Like generators.

Soviet: Yeah, thank you very much for that input, it's very appreciated. I don't even know what they look like!Like generators.

Small Name, Big Ego: While Soviet had around 10K Youtube subscribers and 2K Twitch followers at the time, this was still Played for Laughs in "Random Rust Bullshittery", where Soviet was invited to see a mural of community-drawn paint signs. Gladpus: The rose and the drowning man are two random people who came by and we invited to draw. They didn't know who you were, but they were like "Oh yeah, okay, we'll draw."

Soviet: What do you mean?

Gladpus: Uh, this rose and the picture of the drowning man.

Soviet: No, I mean what do you mean they don't know who I am?

Bevrel: You're not that famous, Womble. (entire chat bursts out laughing)

Smug Super: The clan recurringly jokes during CS:GO Bullshitteries about Edberg's ego when he hits Global Elite. Womble: Whenever he gets to Global Elite, he starts, yknow... sunshine flowing from his anus.

Edberg: As long as we've known each other, I've only been in GE twice, including this one now.

Womble: Yeah, and both times you were insufferable.

Stating the Simple Solution: Womble repeatedly asks why Jason Brody doesn't just call the nearest US Embassy to rescue his friends in "Random Far Cry 3 Bullshittery".

The Straight Man: This role usually ends up being given to Edberg, usually raging at Soviet's incompetence and Cyanide's antics.

In "GTA V Bullshittery (Part 2)" Womble and several others are stuck atop Mt. Chilliad without a ride so someone else has to try drive one up to them. Emphasis on try. Womble: [watching as Cyanide manages to tilt the truck over the side of the mountain road and rolls all the way back down the side of the mountain to his helpless screams] I'm in a clan of fucking idiots.

Womble again at the end of "CS:GO Bullshittery (Part 7)" after his teammates go storming off making random noises.

A Tankard of Moose Urine: During the drinking game in "Random CS:GO Bullshittery (part 3)", Blair pulls out a bottle of "Oddka", a cucumber and spinach vodka. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Blair: Mine's quite alright, actually. [beat] Oh! Never mind! Blair: [at least 10 shots later] This cucumber shit [at least 10 shots later] This cucumber shit tastes like AIDS...

That's What She Said: It's a rule in ZF that if you make a TWSS joke and no one laughs within ten seconds, you're kicked from the Teamspeak server. Soviet himself gets kicked this way, and is accelerated by Cyanide when Soviet blurts, "Fuck you, I'm a YouTube phenomenon!" "Okay, just for that—you were kicked from the server"

Trademark Favorite Food: Several videos establish Cyanide's to be Pringles. He even correctly identified the flavor by the sound it made. Soviet: Cyanide, listen, can you tell the flavour of the Pringles by the sound of the tube? [shaking]

Cyanide: The green coloured note Sour Cream and Onion ones?

Soviet: [with a sound of surprise] Fuckin' hell.

Translator Buddy: Cyanide has gotten so proficient at understanding Nevil that he can even translate for the rest of the clan, more or less.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Between proper ZF sessions on an Antistasi server note In which you play as a resistance movement against occupying Russian forces , Womble goes in one morning to try and play around with NPC assignments, ordering a Resistance soldier to fire a mortar. This draws the attention of the Russians, who immediately show up with gunships, overrun the Resistance headquarters and kill the NPC commander . As the game-over screen fades to black, a gobsmacked Womble laments that his simple experiment accidentally ruined the entire campaign for everyone.

Victory by Endurance: How Womble actually wins a round in The Culling on advice from Cyanide - stock up on bandages and other healing items, let the other teams kill each other and avoid the crossfire, wait as long as possible for the poison gas to close in, then rush into the gas and heal faster than the gas saps his own health while waiting for the gas to kill the other player. Cyanide tried to do the same as well as Womble's teammate, but he got sniped by another player before he could pull it off.

Video Game Caring Potential: Womble often displays this. He wants the Badgers to actually be good guys in Arma 3 part 9.

He's audibly relieved when they find the kidnapped victims alive in the SWAT 4 Fairfax Residence.

He prioritises keeping as many surviving crewmembers alive when playing Halo: Combat Evolved with Cyanide.

He is genuinely upset when he finds Ricardo has been facehuggered in Alien: Isolation.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Cyanide "securing" several civilians in "Arma 3 Bullshittery" by executing them with headshots. Among many other breaches of the Geneva Convention, the Badgers turning civilians into human shields in ARMA 3 Bullshittery Part 9.

Vitriolic Best Buddies: While the ZF members will gleefully insult, grief, and troll each other and are quick to deny being friends, in unguarded moments they have admitted their friendship. ZF members also tend to becoming rather angry when other people go beyond good-natured insults and start harassing their clan mates. Edberg has told off Twitch chat members, both in his chat and Soviet's, for demanding bullshitteries from Soviet or accusing the latter of being lazy and not putting effort for not making bullshitteries as fast as they want. Cyanide firmly and seriously scolded chat members for demanding ZF players play with each other on their streams.

We ARE Struggling Together: Sometimes ZF is attempting some semblance of a coordinated team effort when friendly fire (intentional or not) or griefing occurs. Hilarity usually ensues.

We Have the Keys: The door-is-unlocked variant in "SWAT 4 Bullshittery (Part 1)" when Soviet, taking point on a closed door, prepares to use C2 explosive to blow open the door when Cyanide suddenly speaks up from off-screen: Cyanide: Don't use C2, don't use C2, wait, wait wait wait wait.

[Door suddenly opens inwards]

Cyanide: Hi.

Weirdness Coupon: If the beginning of "Arma 3 Bullshittery (Part 6)" is anything to go by, the fact that a server is located in Russia is reason enough to explain why a nonexistent rocket fired from an imaginary rocket launcher is able to take down a very real helicopter.

With Friends Like These...: ZF is extremely prone to griefing, team-killing, or just fucking with each other, to the point that Womble insists that he and Cyanide aren't, in fact, "friends". A good example is the "Random PUB:G Bullshittery" series, where Womble, Cyanide, and Edberg repeatedly throw each other under the bus for their own benefit (or just because).

Word Salad Title: According to the man himself, "Soviet Womble" was just a random throwaway account name that has absolutely no meaning.

Would Not Shoot a Civilian: Fully exploited in "Arma 3 Bullshittery (Part 9)", when the Badgers use civilians as human shields to attack and capture Russian outpost, as the enemy A.I. actually follows this trope. Note that at this point they were so deep into villainy that even Womble decided that it was a great idea.

Yandere: Played for Laughs in "Arma 3 Antistasi Part 3/5" where as a result of Cyanide expressing fear at her PMS-induced possessiveness, Gorty/Cyanide's Hot Girlfriend appears to shut him up in the most creepy manner possible. Gorty: You're allowed to tell all of the stories about me if you want to, but don't take them out of context cause then (laughs)

Cyanide: (whimpers in fear)

Womble: ...okay, "Cyanide's Hot Girlfriend" has been replaced with "Cyanide's Psycho Girlfriend", folks! : You're allowed to tell all of the stories about me if you want to, but don't take them out of context cause then I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! : (whimpers in fear): ...okay, "Cyanide's Hot Girlfriend" has been replaced with "Cyanide's Psycho Girlfriend", folks!

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: Initially played straight in Random Arma Bullshittery Part 9, but as the episode goes on the other members of the Badgers continue to commit various war crimes. By the time of the third and final rendition of their theme song, the lyrics outright call them terrorists, with Womble himself commenting "We are, aren't we?".
