[[Psychotaku]]. Blogger, video game commentator, and [[Large Ham]].
 
His video commentaries are spoken in ([[No Indoor Voice|really, really loud]]) Japanese, with english subtitles, as based on traditional Japanese game show hosts. Typically he starts the show with some "boring" show hosted by some other boring dude named Freddie, that somehow have something to do with the current topic. While each show is different, [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?|Freddie remains the host]]. Afterwards, it gets interrupted [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion_incident:Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion incident|Max Headroom style]] by Psychotaku.
 
The format has changed slightly as of late, thanks to Psychoneko, who appeared on the show a few times before getting her own series, took over Psychotaku's old set, forcing him to move into a basement somewhere. Since then the show starts out in Japanese and then transitions to English in the openings. Freddie still appears though, giving counterpoint to Psychotaku.
 
He has had a crossover with [[That Guy With theThe Glasses|JewWario]], which can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20120524050120/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/jewwario/mp/20604-history-of-super-sentai here]

=== Psychotaku provides examples of the following: ===
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: Psychoneko took over his old set, as outlined above, but for now Psychotaku's settled into his new, if much less nice, headquarters.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: His [[Catch Phrase]] is
{{quote| ''Psychotaku. Otaku Saikou!''<br />
Translation: Psychotaku. Otaku is awesome! }}
** Psychoneko has "Psychoneko mew, back to you."
Line 19:
* [[Do Not Adjust Your Set]]: Every show he takes over Freddie's program, to broadcast his show. He gets this in one episode from [[Catgirl|Psykoneko]] when she found out he uses the controller for rhythm games instead of the special controllers.
* [[Evil Laugh]]:
{{quote| '''{{color|red|Psychotaku:}}''' <big>{{color|orange|LOL!}}</big>}}
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Averted and parodied.
* [[I Know Karate]]: In addition to a multiple of other talents, Freddie is a kung-fu master with moves such as the Phoenix Blow.
Line 27:
* [[Otaku]]: Duh
* [[Rainbow Speak]]: Psychotaku's subtitles.
* [[Sentai]]: He has a battle for ''[[Super Sentai]]'' Street Cred with JewWario of ''[[That Guy With theThe Glasses]]'', and only loses when he has to review the first [[Power Rangers|American series]] ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''.
* [[Take Over the World]]: Not only has the Psychotaku made the statement that after he defeats Freddie, he'll move on to this, he has also stated that if he kills all the humans, dogs and cats will do this.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Psychotaku was very nearly on [[Screw AttackScrewAttack]], having reached the finals of their "My Vids Don't Suck" contest to add a new featured contributor to the site. The show lost to [[Moviebob|The Game Overthinker]], who had arguably cheated by getting his existing fanbase to register accounts on the site & vote for him, when the contest was meant to be voted on by the [[Community Nickname|g1s]].
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Freddie seems to have a new job, related to the item of the day, every time. Ranging from a wildly eccentric Chef to a karate master.
** Lampshaded in the Magical Taruruuto-kun video, where Psychotaku comments on Freddie's new job choice (wizard).
