=== His Let's Plays provide examples of: ===
* [[A Date
* [[
{{quote|
* [[Adorkable]]: Somewhat. He ''is'' a man in his 30's who enjoys video games and is generally a nice guy. The videos where he shows his face demonstrate how awkward he can be as well.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Green rupees.
** Getting [[Money for Nothing|Rupees as rewards]] for [[That One Sidequest|long sidequests]] sometimes angers him, too. [[Twilight Princess|Jovanni]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
* [[Big OMG]]: In his [[Let's Play]] of Mother3, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cWqB37dXSnk#t=408s Part 51], where he went through a door and the Ultimate Chimera was waiting behind it.
* [[Big "What?"]]: He gets a really good one in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4nKzlYUpT4 this] episode of his Twilight Princess playthrough. (At 7:28)
* [[Big Yes]] : He's done this in the past, but when he discovers the [[
* [[Call Back]]: After he fails to grab the last Green Star and falls into a pit in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2
{{quote|
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Not particularly defining ones, but he has several recurring phrases, such as "Get some more toilet paper!" and "So happy." Hell, he even included most of his catchphrases in one of the previous backgrounds of his channel.
** "You bite, you die!" (originally about the Piranha Plants from ''[[
** You know, [["Weird Al" Yankovic|IN THE BATHROOM!]] <ref>This popular line comes from Weird Al Yankovic's "A Complicated Song."</ref>
** And more recently, due to [[Chuggaaconroy|Chuggaa's]] attempts to popularize the "D'OH I MISSED!" phrase in [[The Runaway Guys]] videos, he's started using that one as well.
** "A secret <X>!" [[Shout
** "You tell that asshole!"
** "<X> ''THOOOOOUUUUUSAND'' <X>!" Another [[Shout
** [[Shout
** "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[[Overly Long Gag|oooooooooooooooooooo]]kay everyone I'm back."
** In some of his ''Legend of Zelda'' LPs (such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda:
** He's prone to singing the lyric "I keep forgetting we're not in love any more".
** "The fur-hur-hur-hur-nace!"
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ-GhLS3p9o#t=10m25s this video,] he takes on a timed mission in [[Banjo
** He also has done several in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', exactly where one would expect them. Cutting off before {{spoiler|Rydia re-joins the party}} is one he claims he's wanted to do his whole life.
* [[Creator
* [[Damn You, Muscle Memory!]]: With all of the ''Zelda'' videos he's made introductions to, it's no surprise that he sometimes introduces a different game entirely as "The Legend of Zelda: [Game Title]" by accident.
* [[Digging Yourself Deeper]]: During one boss fight in ''Donkey Kong Country 3,'' he admits that knowing a certain song makes him feel "kind of gay." He immediately backs up, saying "[[Not That There's Anything Wrong
* [[Epileptic Trees]]: Invoked in his [[Super Mario 64]] LP, where he indulges in this, theorizing that Princess Peach has an [[Evil Twin]] who is Bowser Jr.'s mother.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: He's not particularly ''evil'', per se, but he does have a very distinctive laugh with which you'll become familiar after watching a few videos.
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Multiple times in ''[[
** Also happens quite often in his blind run of ''[[
** In general, forgetting the obvious is quite common in his Let's Plays. His ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
** In the Starfruit minigame in ''[[
** During his mostly-blind run of the final stage of the Lost World of ''Donkey Kong Country 2,'' after getting through a chunk of the stage, he wonders if there's a checkpoint. While it's right in the middle of the screen. ''Again.'' Cue more annotations. Another life later, he drops into the checkpoint STILL without noticing it, leaving him surprised to spawn there after he died once more.
** In his blind run of DKC 3, during the run of the last world, he failed to note in ''Lightning Look-Out'' that the little lightning was the warning for the big lightning. He only noted this during a bonus game, 11 minutes into the video. During the same chapter, in ''Koindozer Klamber'', he was desperately looking for a Bonus Barrel in the 2nd half of the level, and when he arrived to the screen of the Bonus Barrel, he kept throwing himself into the holes without noting the Bonus Barrel being just there. He just noted that like one minute later.
** Also in his Mario Party 2 solo run, while he dominated the competition (See Crowning Moment of Awesome above), he forgot to show us the detailed stats for the Mystery Land board.
* [[Fat Slob]]: See below.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] when he named the Aeon Cindy after Dario in his [[Final Fantasy X]] LP.
* [[Gasshole]]: He has active bodily functions, and [[Too Much Information|he'll mention when they act up]].
* [[Gentle Giant]]: He's about 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, but is probably one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
** He has lost about 60 lbs since starting his gym runs, but it hasn't effected his kindness one bit.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Twice during Chapter 6 of Mother 3. [[Tear Jerker|With very good reason]].
** Played with in the [[
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: His signature [[Unusual Euphemism]], "Frick-frack."
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: [[Lucahjin]]'s [[Catch Phrase]]/[[Verbal Tic]] "Sir?! Sir?!" rubbed off on him, and he admitted that she'd got him started on saying it.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Appears to be building this kind of friendship with Empolo18, to the point where he trusts him enough to give him his Youtube password to update NCS's LP's while he's away.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: NCS made a Conker episode called "Dick for Progress" where he made [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: [[Spoonerism|"Prugga" and "Choton"]] from his ''[[Mario Party]] 2'' videos. He starts referring to the CPU versions of Mario and DK as his [[The Runaway Guys|absent friends]], and starts talking to them, spouting their catchphrases for them, and even telling them to [[Vitriolic Best Buds|stop fighting]].
* [[Incredibly Long Note]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apJYWg36LIo In this video,] NCS sings Happy Birthday to Lucahijn and on the final line, proceeds to ''hold the "to" note for over 28 seconds.''
** Let's just say that Mr. Bishop has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkWXpHeCG0c special talent] for this trope.
* [[In the Style Of]]: Much of his ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' LP has [[HC Bailly]]-style cliffhangers.

** To clarify: He hammed up Ganondorf's voice so much that he ''lost his voice'' after yelling this line.

** A mild example, but he also has a tendency to randomly sing a few lines of a song in some episodes of his [[Let's Play|LPs]].
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: A relatively lighthearted example, but he'll never forget the [[Punch
* [[Nice Guy]]: Multiple people who know NCS in real life describe him as the single nicest guy they've ever met.
* [[Nice Hat]]: He made one for his Flag Zombie in ''[[
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] during Throwback Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, which is almost a carbon copy of the second world in Super Mario 64.
** Then, when he got to Whomp's Fortress in Super Mario 64, he talked about Throwback Galaxy some.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: In his ''[[Mario Party]] 2'' "Let's Mess Around On," he bemoans how he lost his recording of Space Land, which he'd beaten with an incredible '''[[This Is For Emphasis|SIX! STARS!]]''' {{spoiler|He then beats Mystery Land with ''eight stars.''}}
* [[Oh Crap]]: His reaction to {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWqB37dXSnk#t=10m8s Lucas being cornered by the Ultimate Chimera]}} in ''[[
** A much smaller example was when he realized he slipped off the bridge in Gerudo Valley and left Epona up there.

** In one of his ''[[
* [[Old Shame]]: His [[Final Fantasy VI]] let's play, which was done via camcorder. He's expressed dislike at how bad he was at LPs back then and has expressed the desire to re-do it at some point.
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: When text boxes in games have proper nouns in different colours, he sometimes says "COJIRO!" as a [[Call Back]] to a joke he did based on this in ''Ocarina of Time''.
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: He's good friends with female LetsPlayer [[Lucahjin]], and they've co-commentated on each other's videos multiple times. One question in her FAQ is if she's dating him (or [[Really Gets Around|any of the other popular YouTube Let's Players]]), and the answer is a simple one-word "No." (However, in one interview, NCS admitted his feelings for her [[All Love Is Unrequited|weren't entirely platonic]], but due to a number of factors, they both knew it wouldn't happen.)
* [[Precision F
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: [[Self
* [[Running Gag]]: He has a few.
** Calling Bowser a float in [[

Line 185:
** Has a habit of titling a video "Super <X> Massacre" when it involves lots of death, either [[Multi Mook Melee|the mooks]] [[That One Level|or himself]].
** "Is this okay, Mommy" became one during the Majora's Mask LP when he noted that if you caught something in a bottle, you held it up to the screen as if to say the phrase.
** Sometimes, when a game gets [[Hijacked
* [[The Scream]]: He's got a very distinctive one.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: At the end of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'', Palom mentions showing a girl his "fire rod" and leaves the game, no longer able to play. He comes back though.
* [[Self

** And yet he still cannot [[Press X to Not Die|Press A]] [[The Runaway Guys|To Not]] [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii

** His Twilight Princess LP starts by making an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]] about "living on the edge", and saying it's "better than [[Weird Al|living in the fridge]]".
** He occasionally uses some of [[

** In his [[Let's Play]] of ''Super Mario 64'', he references [[Electrical Beast]]'s own [[Let's Play]] ("TELEPOR'!")
** His status on his channel is one to the song 'Afterimage', by Rush.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Subverted, he spent a long while trying to quit his habit, even continuing it after posting the first video where he declared he would break it. [[Heartwarming Moments
* [[Take That]]: From the ''Majora's Mask'' LP:

* [[Tempting Fate]]: In the 4-way Battletoads race. He dies before he can even finish his sentence. [[Proton Jon]] even gives him an achievement for it.
* [[Thing
** ''Conker'' got an "IN THE BATHROOM" meter, which ended at 134.
** ''Skyward Sword'' got a "SO HAPPY" meter, after its absence in ''Yoshi's Story''.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Many, many examples of this throughout his Let's Plays. He's gotten better over time, however.
** A lot of fans expect him to go right back to stage one with his [[
** Later on, he forgot what number his meter was up to and started it at 9001 because it was [[Dragonball Z|OVER]] [[Memetic Mutation|9000]]!! {{spoiler|The actual final "In The Bathroom" count is 134.}}
*** And when he meets {{spoiler|The Great Mighty Poo,}} his life was fufilled.
Line 213:
** His [[Gag Dub]] of the infamous laughing scene from ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' replaced the laughs with belches.
* [[The Unintelligible]]: His take on Professor Owlan in ''Skyward Sword'' has him speak in very fast gibberish.
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: "Frick-frack," which he usually drops in place of the typical F-Bomb. [[Precision F
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://nintendocaprisun.wikia.com/wiki/NintendoCapriSun_Wiki Now he has one.]
* [[With Lyrics]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4GA9Fwc_2A Takeadumponthetoilet] from Mega man 2 and the other [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTJmnR1NMV0 take a dump on the toilet] from Majoras mask are fan favorites
