Chuggaaconroy: Difference between revisions

[[File:Chuggaaconroy.png|frame|500px]][http://www.youtube.com/user/chuggaaconroy#p/p Chuggaaconroy] is a [[Let's Play|Let's Player]] with over 900,000 subscribers. He is known for his high production values, his regular update schedule, his lighthearted and ([[Accidental Innuendo|mostly]]) family-friendly approach to games, his propensity for [[Catch Phrase|catchphrases]] and [[Running Gag|running gags]] (usually based on [[Memetic Mutation|internet memes]]), and his [[Large Ham|hilariously overblown]] reactions to things that happen as he plays.

 

 

 

After more than two years at it, he became a [[YouTube]] Partner, which was unprecedented among Let's Players (multiple others have since become partners), due to the legal "gray area" that showing game footage entails. He's also joined a new collective of gamers called [[The Game Station]], which looks to be shaping up as an [[Follow the Leader|alternative]] to Machinima.com. Finally, he's well known for his work with [[The Speed Gamers]], even appearing live at their home base for two separate marathons, the second of which was the first time since he started doing LPs that he's shown his face on the internet (he appeared wearing a mask in the first).

 

'''Games Chugga has Let's Played:'''

* ''[[MOTHER]]''

* ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]''

* [[Brick Joke]]: One episode of his ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' [[Let's Play]] is titled "This Video Ends With "Bitch"" at the very beginning. At the very end:

{{quote|'''Chugga''': ''Highly inappropriate?! [[It Makes Sense in Context|We're walking down the fricking hall!]] Bitch!''}}

* [[Brief Accent Imitation]]: As of 2011 has noted that he tends to slip into a vaguely Indian accent when reading out the dialogue of any 'quirky' character; in ''Majora's Mask'' he also does an Australian accent for any character who uses words like 'oi' or 'mate'.

* [[Broken Pedestal]]: ''Pikmin 2''. At the end of the LP he decides that he thought the game was better than it was because it took him years to hunt down a copy, and wanting is better than having.

** According to Twitter, he got stabbed through the foot by the prongs on a power adapter. [[Amusing Injuries|He doesn't seem to really care though.]]

** Episode 29 of Majora's Mask has the Let's Play curse in full effect, as the doggy racetrack minigame that normally only takes him one or two tries takes him an ''entire hour and a half'' to do. Luckly, the dog would usually place between 3rd and 5th so he didn't lose all of his money betting on them.

** Again from Majora's Mask, this one a running fail between episodes 42 and 43: He managed to trigger two switches perfectly on his first try in Stone Tower Temple, causing a chest containing a Stray Fairy to become accessible. However, the room he was in had two chests, and he mistook the switches as causing the other chest to appear. To top it all off, he missed seeing one of the chests (the one he thought he'd made appear), even when he went to the platform that chest was on to collect Rupees, leading him to conclude he had screwed it up. The post-recording edit text he puts up on screen during episode 42 berates his player self for being so stupid. Episode 43 has the traditional [[Schmuck Bait|"Turn Your Headphones Down"]] warning pop up moments before his player self finally figures out where the chest was.

** In ''Pokemon Emerald'' Episode 1, he lost the first rival battle.

** In ''[[Majoras Mask]]'': "Remember kids, if your best friend is going crazy, [[Kill It with Fire|light them on fire.]]"

* [[Fan Boy]]: Of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Flannery]], if at least to use his wording on the matter. He's also convinced she [[Needs More Love]].

* [[First-Name Basis]]: He's only shown his full name once, as he prefers to go either by Chuggaaconroy or his first name Emile. (For the curious, his full name is [[Awesome McCoolname|Emiliano Rodolfo Rosales-Birou]].)

* [[Flanderization]]: In his playthroughs of Pokemon Fire Red and Crystal, he occasionally caught legendaries in regular Poke Balls when he throws them for no real reason, other than running out of Ultra Balls. In Emerald, he starts trying to ''force'' this to happen by throwing all sorts of weak Poke Balls at every legendary he encounters. {{spoiler|And even though it takes a while, he always catches them in a weak ball, at near-full health, or ''[[Beyond the Impossible|both]]''.}}

{{quote|ACOOLTENT

Episode 7 - Episode 7 }}

** On a more serious note, Chugga dedicated Chapter 6 of his MOTHER 3 LP towards {{spoiler|Hinawa (Lucas's mother who died early in the game), dead relatives/friends of his viewers, and his uncle.}}

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: He makes one and lampshades it in Episode 5 of his ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Let's Play. After noting that the wires attached to the windmills are likely power lines, he comes across some flower platforms that also have wires attached to them.

{{quote|'''Chugga:''' They grow a [[Precision F-Strike|dick!]]}}

* [[Running Gag]]: His bread and butter.

** Pointing out every instance of "Nintendo logic" ever.

** Getting aggravated at his Pikmin frequently disobeying him.

* [[Shmuck Bait]]: Telling his viewers to turn the volume down whenever he's about to get really loud. Most people take it as a personal challenge.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** In the Pikmin playthough he messes around with the Pikmin with bomb rocks when something goes wrong he says [[The Spoony Experiment|YOU FOOL!]]

** In his ''[[Mother 3]]'' playthrough. while he's waiting for the Porky robot to finish, he shouts [[Proton Jon|"MOVE FASTER POKEY!"]] He's made that reference multiple times since.

* [[Squee]]: Often when things ''really'' start looking up for him. Including finding a Phanpy and a Shiny Koffing, and now catching Groudon with a Nest Ball at near full health.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: During ''Majora's Mask'' he reveals that he wasn't really as excited for ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as he let on, due to health problems.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: With his Shiny Koffing/Weezing, he'd always set it to Selfdestruct or Explosion and [[Evil Laugh|laughs maniacally]] at the sight of the opposing Pokémon going down with his own.

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: His ''Mega Man 2'' joke LP.

** [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Intended as an [[April Fools' Day]] joke mocking the many poor-quality ''Mega Man 2'' [[LPs]] on Youtube, it ended up being quite popular with some viewers who didn't get the joke.

** In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when he receives the code for the million-Rubee safe in Merlee's Mansion, he denies typing the code in on his computer calculator and states that he was simply repeating the code to himself.

* [[Take That]]:

** An... interesting variation occurs during his ''Wind Waker'' Let's Play, where he delivers a jab at his close colleague [[Nintendo Capri Sun]] for talking about his practice file so much, takes it back, and pretends it never happened.

** There was one against ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmqb-kFaFrQ&NR=1 Episode 13] of his ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' LP, when he talks about wanting to buy square watermelons in Japan like they did on The Simpsons "back in the days when the Simpsons were still good".

** Multiple shots have been taken at [[Proton Jon]]'s [[Schedule Slip|erratic updates]]. [[I'm Standing Right Here|Including in The Runaway Guys' LPs.]]

** In Episode 14 of his Majora's Mask [[Let's Play]], an "[[Sturgeon's Law|Unregistered Hypercam 2]]" tag pops up in the upper left hand corner after he asks "This is a quality video, right?"

* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: He refused to use the Flower Tabs because they have the ability to fully restore FP after use in addition to increasing your FP total, justifying it in that he would use it to fully restore his FP when he would run out after battle. Problem is, he would often use FP restoration items in battle, so he wouldn't run out, meaning he would have a lot of Flower Tabs taking up space in his inventory doing nothing.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: His [[Pikmin]] frequently get into situations like this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCrL-0D-zGg This] has some particularly glaring examples.

* [[Troll]]: How he views [[Pikmin|Pikmin 2]] (not the developers, but the game ''itself'') to be.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: "Whatever". He acknowledges this and vows to try cutting down on saying it, but so far, he's been very unsuccessful.
