[http://www.youtube.com/user/pcull44444 Pcull] (technically, Pcull with five 4's after it, but they're generally not referred to anyway) is a [[YouTube]]-based [[Let's Play|Lets Player]]. And while being emotive and interesting to listen to is generally important for a Let's Player, Pcull is notable for going ''far'' above and beyond. He has an ''extremely'' bombastic narration style, full of [[Large Ham|overblown diction]], [[Man of a Thousand Voices|wildly vacillating voices]] [[Brief Accent Imitation|and accents]], and his fairly deep natural voice. Add to that a tendency to [[Cloudcuckoolander|ramble at length about whatever comes to mind while he's playing the game]] (he once burst into the entirety of a [[Tiny Tim]] song just because he felt like it), and you have one wacky LP'er on your hands.
 
As for the games he's Let's Played themselves, he's tackled a number of games from [[Nintendo]] systems, mostly the [[Super Nintendo]]. He's also played a number of the 2D ''Zelda'' games, as well as several licensed titles.
 
Games he's Let's Played include:
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' (based on the Disney movie)
* ''[[Goof Troop]]''
* ''[[Sunset Riders]]''
* ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]: Buster Busts Loose!''
* ''Zelda:''
Line 20:
* ''[[Mega Man X]]''
* ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 2''
* ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''
* ''[[Super Mario 64]]''
* ''[[Earthworm Jim (video game)|Earthworm Jim 2]]''
* ''[[Battletoads]]'' (4-player competitive race between him, [[Proton Jon]], [[Nintendo Capri Sun]], and [[Super Jeenius]])
Line 31:
 
* [[Angrish]]: Most of his part in the ''[[Battletoads]]'' race is like this, but special mention must be made of one moment late in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjCFZx0mwk Part 3]: After getting thrown across the room for the umpteenth time by one of the rubber ducks in Stage 9, his frustration breaks down into what can only be described as a real-life [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]]. (Check it out around 27 minutes into the video.)
** At the end of the race, he was given an ''achievement'' for the sheer number of times he went into an incoherent rage:

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]
* [[Big No]]: Lets Play Super Mario 64 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23RQP5V1luc#t=20m20s Parts 8] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCcNbO7LLZ8#t=22m33s 10]. Tropers with headphones, be careful. It's kinda loud.
* [[Brief Accent Imitation]]: Frequently.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Peace out, mother-truckers!"
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmx-2DejNJY KERSLICEAH!]
** And in his [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|Minish Cap]] LP, "SHUT UP, ELMO!"
* [[Celebrity Resemblance]]: He fully believes Diddy Kong looks like Michael Bolton. Or Michael Bolton looks like Diddy Kong.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Falls back on them every once in a while. Especially when [[Angrish|failing at]] [[Epic Fail|easy tasks.]]
* [[Colbert Bump]]: Starring in a collaboration alongside two of the three [[Runaway Guys]] ([[Nintendo Capri Sun]] and [[Proton Jon]], specifically) has definitely given him more exposure, and a few people have admitted to subscribing to him ''just because of'' his moment of [[Angrish]] listed above.
Line 48:
** He calls every bird-like character "[[No Indoor Voice|SQUA]][[Donkey Kong Country|WKS!]].
** After [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z3vASfIUvs#t=10m15s fireballing a fish in Super Mario World], he starts calling coins "Filet 'O Fishes", then eventually "[[No Indoor Voice|FISH FILLETS!]]." It also happened in his [[Mega Man X|Mega Man Xtreme 2]] LP after he defeated Volt Catfish.
* [[First-Name Basis]]: He almost exclusively calls himself Patrick (or Patty, if he's being cutesy), and very rarely uses his nickname.
* [[Happy Dance]]: The title screen music causes one at the beginning of his Earthworm Jim 2 LP.
* [[Hope Spot]]: Lampshaded during the Battletoads race. After clearing a hard section, he immediately dies.
{{quote|[[Proton Jon]]: That's what you get for getting cocky.
Pcull44444: I didn't get cocky, I got hopeful. }}
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: As revealed in a co-commentary on ''[[Donkey Kong 64]],'' he actually hates pickles.
* [[Jive Turkey]]: One of his many, many stock voices.
* [[Large Ham]]: It is difficult to describe just ''how large'' his ham gets without listening to him. [http://youtu.be/tOub1dQt-F4 Here's]<ref>Why are you keeping such things in your chest? That just... concerns me.</ref> [http://youtu.be/95VJTFXvlx8 some]<ref>MOOOORMOONS.</ref> [http://youtu.be/tm70pG2d-XI examples.]<ref>MY GAME IS STEPPED UP!</ref>
* [[Last Lousy Point]]: In-universe, happens to him when he attempts to get 100 coins in [[Shifting Sand Land]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]].'' He goes into the pyramid, exhausts all the coins in there, and finds himself with... 99. And he can't leave the pyramid, ''no matter how hard he tries.''
** Happens ''again'' in [[Lethal Lava Land]], where he dies due to [[Camera Screw]] on the 99th coin.
* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: "Peace out, mothertruckers!" Of course, he says it at the end of every video, so it's not ''precisely'' last second, but it's in the spirit of the trope.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: Of particular note are his "Midwestern mother-in-law," "Surfer Dude," "[[Christopher Walken]]," and "Mickey Mouse" voices.
** During his [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|Minish Cap]] LP, he decides to give Ezlo a new voice for each episode.
* [[Metal Scream]]: His usual intro. "OOOOOH WUTUP DISSIS PCULL!"
** He also does this in his [[Super Mario 64]] LP whenever he gets the Metal Cap.
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Invoked in his ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' stream. "How can your glasses be broken? Those are, like, your ''lifeline'' to being a nerd!"
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Absolutely ''none at all.''
* [[One of Us]]: Mentions this page itself by name in his ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' finale.
* [[Performance Anxiety]]: The Let's Play curse hits him hard in [[Super Mario 64]]. Combine this with oddball glitches, and he admits that his fail is probably what's keeping his fans interested.
* [[Punny Name]]: In [[Pokémon Red]], most of the nicknames he gives his Pokemon create puns when coupled with the "Go! [NAME!]" part of the battle text. Except for FLARP!
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: He breaks into a ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' song at one point. And he fully admits that he has no problems with knowing, or being able to sing, one.
* [[Rhymes on a Dime]]: "Goody-goody gumdrop! ...Listen to my tongue flop!"
* [[Signature Laugh]]: "Hufufufu!"
* [[Simpleton Voice]]: He uses one of these for describing Pokemon in his [[Pokémon Red]] LP. It sounds sort of like a cross between PJ from ''[[Goof Troop]]'' and Pinky from [[Pinky and The Brain]].
* [[Stealth Pun]]: His old [[YouTube]] avatar was a pickle.
* [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion]]: "Tickety tickety tickety tock. This clock hand looks like a giant... flock of seagulls!" [[Lampshade Hanging|He then immediately points out]] [[Don't Explain the Joke|the joke he just made.]]
* [[Surfer Dude]]: Another one of his stock voices.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: "Just watch, I'm going to spend forty minutes yelling at this game." Actual time on the video: 41 minutes, 50 seconds.
* [[Troll]]: His friend Clay, who appears alongside him in a few of his videos. In the ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' stream in particular, he's constantly telling Pcull to use absurd [[Tool Assisted Speedrun]] tactics.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: "-appotamus," which he appends randomly to nouns. "Channelpotamus," "boostapotamus," et cetra.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: In his [[Super Mario 64]] LP, he gives Toad a deep, ''manly'' voice after brushing off a more typical high-pitched one.
** And then there's pretty much the ''entirety'' of his co-commentary on ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors]].'' He gives each character pretty much the ''least'' appropriate voice.
** Not to mention the low, manly voice he gives Jasmine at the end of his Aladdin LP.
