True Capitalist/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Acceptable Targets]]: Ghost considers *deep breath* people with speech impediments, people with autism, people with depression, people with dwarfism, people on welfare, overweight people, poor people, Russians, Canadians, Mexicans, bronies, communists, liberals, and those he deems 'fruity' to be this. As such, Ghost himself is considered to be an acceptable target by most other people.

** Some of the trolls believe/perpetuate the idea that Ghost is simply a character played by a [[Man of a Thousand Voices]] from Manhattan (The call-in number is a Manhattan area code, and the one time Ghost was confronted with this he simply told the caller off and angrily claimed that it didn't need an explanation) who likes the attention and/or secretly gets paid depending on how many listeners he has, and his outbursts and abrasive attitude keeps people coming back for more. Of course, bringing up any of this to Ghost triggers [[Berserk Button|the usual response]]. This isn't helped by the fact that Ghost does seem to have a natural talent with impressions at times, which is best heard when he mocks sensitive/effeminate guys (In one rant to a caller claiming if used a certain tone of voice and attitude the caller could attract any woman, he uses an extremely well-acted sensitive guy voice, with almost no signs of his southern twang [[Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping|slipping through]]).

** However to note, since a technology provider for the site is based in New York, all call-in numbers on BlogTalkRadio originate from New York City area codes.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Ghost has auctioned a cow who he claimed was a caller's mother in middle of a broadcast, and a few days later proclaimed himself the king of mexicans. So much for [[Serious Business]].

** Whenever he plays "[[You Keep Using That Word|fruitbowl music]]," the song is played and no mention of it is heard from again.

** Radio Graffiti has a bunch of divisive bases. Those that think his older radio graffiti segments were better, which ones were good or bad. The "fans" are actually divisive about it.

** Also, there must have been some listeners that actually enjoyed the show proper before the trolling began.

* [[Creator's Pet]]: KaraszKun seems to be turning into this as of April 20.

** On 10/31/11, Ghost extremely misunderstands the basics of global warming.

** He also repeatately gets remix sources wrong, apparently prefering to say anything rather than admit he doesn't know it.

** Many of the splices.

{{quote|I hate to keep beating on my grandma here, but...}}

** Ghost x [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Applejack]].

** Well, they're [[Blatant Lies|both ponies]], they've both got southern accents going on (although Applejack is more of a Missouri accent, but her entire look gives off the Texas/Farmgirl idea), they are both involved in capitalism (Applejack's family is heavily involved in the apple industry), etc.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7lXcUvgwY "Melting Pot of Alcohol"] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r22PQd-iiiM "Inspector Hambone."]

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyPhsFxnc_c Boss Nigger.]

** The Engineer is becoming this, since he "betrayed" Ghost a few times. He's also gotten a lot more shout-outs than Ghost himself.

** Horny the Clown.

** Celtic Brony. Sure, he's got [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]], but the poor guy's been through a ''lot.''

* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: As far as the internet is concerned, the only part of the show worth paying attention to is "Radio Grafitti," where trolls can call and upset Ghost.

** The "Melting Pot of Friendship"

** When Ghost raged at somebody's Twitter name being Poop Tickler, it sparked an entire "family" of Poop Ticklers.

** cans.wav, the Unofficial Official Onomonopia for the sound of him throwing around the crap on his desk.

** SUCK MAH DIIIIICK!

** Hi, I'm John Conquest.

* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: His show is serious business! But wait ... why are even the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' fans listening?!

** Ghost clearly said the only reason why he sings songs is so the fanbase can identify the songs. Instead, people remixed his voice into the songs that he sang.

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Just about everyone involved in the dox wars crossed it at some point or another, though special mention goes to those who mocked the apparently suicidal Celtic Brony in the aftermath and told him to kill himself.

** The cans. Oh those cans. Though... depending on your [[Most Wonderful Sound|perspective]]...

** [[Annoying Laugh|That laugh of his is pretty obnoxious sometimes]], especially when it follows him saying something that [[Crosses the Line Twice]] or carries [[Unfortunate Implications]].

** Also, the discussion of the markets at the beginning of the show is only interesting if you're a serious caller; it's padding for everybody else.

* [[Periphery Demographic]]: [[Troll|Although not the kind Ghost wants]].

** The caller from Area Code 417. He calls to "troll" Ghost and often fails (such as playing "Fuck You Texas" and being obnoxious; i.e. "Happy Baller Friday from San Francisco, butt boy."). He ''almost'' had his number announced on air when he was trolling Ghost with racial slurs. Nearly ''everyone'' hates this caller. He, thankfully, hasn't been calling lately.

** The surgeradio.org guy. Ghost gave him the worst troll award for a good reason.

** Goofy_Bone. He can't rap to save his life, and his gimmick consists of [[Refuge in Vulgarity|cursing every other word]].

** Those puking sounds are a bit too realistic at times. Not to mention whatever actually causes such a reaction.

** One of his lesser used threats also qualifies. "I'D STOMP A MUDHOLE IN YOUR ASS, I'D KICK IT DRY, AND THEN TAKE A DIRTY DIARRHEA CRAP RIGHT IN THERE, AND ALL YOU COULD DO IS LOOK AT ME WITH A BROWN SMILE ABOUT IT!!" Ew...

** Despite being an [[Hair-Trigger Temper|insane]], [[No Indoor Voice|loud]], [[Small Name, Big Ego|arrogant]], [[Jerkass|obnoxious asshole]], some viewers have found themselves agreeing with some of the things he has to say.

** Case in point, he actually went on record defending mentally handicapped people as pure beings. Though it's mixed with derogatory terms and the implication that he likes their nature more for the reason that they can do the crappy jobs for cheap.

** There would probably be few people who would disagree with Ghost on his contempt for the SOPA and PIPA acts, or Jerry Sandusky. Of course, that doesn't mean that the trolls won't use the latter in order to make him rage...

** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB_dHQsWBcE 'Ghost Tells Us What Christmas Is All About'] video is actually kind of sad to listen to.

** Despite all the hateful things he's said, after a while his [[Narm|Narmy]] reactions to the prank calls stop being hilarious and start being rather depressing and sad.

* [[Too Good to Last]]: TCR as we knew it only lasted for ''one year,'' starting with the newbie boom at the beginning of summer 2011 and ending with the show's cancellation at the beginning of summer 2012. Prior to this time period, [[Early Installment Weirdness|there were still trolls and the show was still entertaining, but considerably different.]]

** Of course, knowing Ghost, this may be just another lengthy hiatus... we hope.

** "It's time to play [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eAm6Mp2nJ4 Guess the Minority!]" Gee, [[Sarcasm Mode|that doesn't add fuel to the "Ghost is a racist" fire]].

** A "representative" from the communist government of the People's Republic of China provides a rebuttal whenever Ghost bashes that country in particular. But you know something's a little fishy when his name is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-6fguTatR8 Mr. Fortune Cookie]. Bad eggrulllll, "[[Mother F-Bomb|MATHAFACKA!]]"

** Ghost has recently and proudly taken on the title of "King of the Mexicans." "Melting Pot of Friendship" my ass.

** "John Conquest" is actually the name of the guy running Third Coast Radio... And also whom Ghost stole his former avatar from...

** When anyone calls, even when they're being serious, and they oppose his views, he doesn't even try to refute their points. He just says how he doesn't like his voice. And he ''still'' claims he's a good political commentator.

** He even berated a caller who ''agreed'' with him about the voice.
