[http://www.youtube.com/user/ElectricalBeast ElectricalBeast] (real name Adam, according to his [[YouTube]] profile) is a ''very'' British [[YouTube]] user whose most famous work is a [[Let's Play]] of [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]. At 60 parts, it's very long, and often has many funny moments, exacerbated by his hilarious accent and happy-go-lucky personality. The second-to-last episode was released in April 2008, but due to computer problems, the final episode was put in [[Development Hell]] until Christmas 2010, when EB uploaded it as [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|a gift to all his watchers]]. In September 2010 he started a Let's Play of [[Minecraft]], and in April 2011 he began an LP of [[Super Mario Bros Crossover]]. He may also be starting an LP of [[Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game)|Super Mario Sunshine]] and [[RunescapeRuneScape]].
 
[[Retsupurae]] has done several RPs of him, and have noted that he, along with [[Billy MC (Let's Play)|Billy MC]] and MuscleBomber2021, is one of their favorite LPers.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Adorkable]]: Very.
* [[Badass Boast]]: {{spoiler|After a long absence of videos Electrical Beast makes one "I AVE RETURNED!"}}
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: The [[Aesop]] of episode 16 of [[Minecraft (Video Game)|Minecraft]].
* [[Berserk Button]]: Apparently, Chuck-Yas do not like being called 'Bomberman'.
* [[British Accents]]: Sports a ridiculously thick West Country accent that has garnered him many accusations of being a [[Fake Brit]].
<!-- %% The "ae" sounds are accentuated, "t" and "g" endings (along with the "h" sounds) are glottalized, he slurs his "r" sounds, and he makes use of frequent "th"-fronting. Please feel free to discuss how thick/strange/unnatural it is, but it IS Cockney. -->
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hey, this is Electrical Beast, AKA the [[Pokémon|Jolteon]] of Let's Plays! And welcome back to Episode [X] of Let's Play Super Mario 64! Well, on today's episode..."
** "And that was the [X]th Star, guys!"
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
** "See ya... Bhai!..."
* [[Christmas Episode]]: The final Mario 64 episode, as well as a bonus one for New Year's.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: His LP of Mario 64 includes, among other things, teleportation, time machines, [[DragonballDragon Ball|Super Saiyan]] powers, and Bowser's Evil (Evow) Test.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "And look at how high it is! It's an extremely high level..."
* [[Development Hell]]: The Lets Play of {{spoiler|[[Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game)|Super Mario Sunshine]]}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: In episode 16 of Minecraft, he switched back to Mario for an adventure...in which Mario nearly drowned and failed to get the Star he was after.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: The first 20 or so episodes are more laid-back, with less humor.
* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]
* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: "And welcome back to episode 46 of [[Banjo Kazooie (Video Game)|Banjo -Kazooie]]! I mean Super Mario 64."
* [[Fan Fiction]]: Well let's be fair, the guy is applying quite a bit of artistic liberty.
* [[Flanderization]]: It's like he turned up all his idiosyncrasies [[Up to Eleven]] for the last episode of his [[Let's Play]] of [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]].
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: It was a fairly normal [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] LP until Episode 24, where he revealed Mario could teleport. It only got more crazy from there.
* [[Harmless Villain]]: His view of Bowser.
{{quote| "So Bowser is using Mario's own power to destroy Mario. Isn't Bowser pathetic?"}}
* [[It Only Works Once]]: Mario's power to turn back/stop time can only be used once. {{spoiler|It's used during the final battle with Bowser, after he falls off the side of the level with no lives left.}}
* [[It's Personal]]: His reaction to Chuck-Yas after one threw him off a cliff.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: In Episode 26 of [[Minecraft (Video Game)|Minecraft]], {{spoiler|the forest and Treezilla burned down}}. Luckily, he had a backup made... {{spoiler|which was erased due to a glitch}}.
** {{spoiler|Or not. it was a joke for [[April Fools' Day]]}}.
* [[Let's Play]]
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
** It's confirmed in Episode 13 of Minecraft that {{spoiler|his Mario videos and Minecraft videos have the same Mario.}}
* [[Mondegreen]]:
{{quote| ''Ey, dis is Electrical Beast, AKA the '''giant''' of Let's Plays!''}}
* [[Ninja Warrior]]: He likes the show, and declares Mario is practicing for one of the tournaments. And that he'd win every time.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Bowser, as revealed in {{spoiler|episode 13 of Minecraft}}.
* [[Out -Gambitted]]: Turns out when Mario stopped Bowser's Time Machine, {{spoiler|Bowser used its mystical energy to erase Mario's memory, then trap him in the Minecraft world}}.
* [[Pokémon]]: He describes himself as the Jolteon of Let's Plays, and says Mario and Bowser are using Seismic Toss, Earthquake, and Flamethrower.
* [[Quintessential British Gentleman]]: Sort of.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
** He also varies between saying that Mario has the power to stop time and turn back time--but only once!
*** ''Both'' versions of the power ended up being used in the finale.
* [[Time Skip]]: On April 15 2008 episode 59 came out but it would not be until September 19 2010 (aside from a few short test videos) that he would start doing lets plays again. By this time [[Electrical Beast (Let's Play)|Electrical Beast]] was older and less upbeat than he was before.
* [[Treehouse of Fun]]: He built one in Minecraft, christening it 'Treezilla'.
* [[Vaporware]]: The conclusion, Episode 60, took over two years to make, and many fans lost hope until he began his Minecraft LP.
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[Victory Is Boring]]: The reason {{spoiler|Bowser gave Mario his memory back}} is because he got bored without him, and wanted to finish him personally.
* [[Villain Ball]]: "I think [Bowser] made a mistake {{spoiler|by giving our memory back}}."
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 13 of Minecraft. {{spoiler|Bowser appears to talk to Mario via a painting, and reveals that he used the time machine's mystical energy to erase Mario's memory, create the monsters in the Minecraft world, and teleport him here}}. It ends on a cliffhanger.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Justified in episode 46 or the Super Mario 64 Let's Play.
{{quote| "The best thing to do when you get in this level is try and find as much spider thingies as you can. So just kill 'em under any circumstance. I know they're animals with feelins', but they're only a game character. [[Signature Laugh|HUH!]]"}}
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Besides Mario's careers as a plumber, doctor, and carpenter, EB says he's a champion sumo wrestler.
** And that he owns 'a very hot volcano'. (Even in the game where Mario owned a castle and the surrounding land, Super Mario Land 2, there was no volcano level).
** And now, with his [[Minecraft (Video Game)|Minecraft]] LP, Mario is a miner attempting to make his own kingdom. Or something.
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Plays these in Minecraft.
