True Capitalist: Difference between revisions

Though, when he's ''not'' raging, Ghost ''is'' a relatively good pundit (if you, er, share his views); he knows where the money is, and he knows how his listeners can get in the action themselves (unless they're doing it with welfare checks, of course)

There has been much speculation regarding whether Ghost is genuine in his antics, or if he's a [[Troll]]. Following the show's (alleged) cancellation on May 23, 2012, it was revealed in a final chat session that {{spoiler|both sides are sort of right. His rages were exaggerated and he is, in fact, friends with the troll Amy Daly, but he was also a Texan capitalist and a genuinely angry man when he started the show- three hours a day of ranting about politics and being trolled helped him get it all out of his system. However, knowing his nature, it is likely all of this is suspect and that this may be a hiatus.}}

** On May 4th 2012, Tub Guy can be heard breaking when telling Ghost he convinced Hasbro to make a Pony based on Ghost.

* [[Crack Pairing]] ([[In-Universe]]): There's a chatroom user called "Asho Banged Tub-Guy."

** He thinks [[Touhou]] is an "ani-mee" foot fetish.

* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Sound effect variant. Sometimes when Ghost gets really angry, his swears are cut short by him throwing cans everywhere.

** The 'Melting Pot of Racist' splice.

{{quote|I am a racist, I am a melting pot of racist, and I have a whole bunch of slaves that happen to be black!}}

** [[Hope Spot]]: Ghost came back for two Taco Tuesdays in the middle of March, leading listeners to believe he was genuinely back- but it would be toward the end of April that he would actually resume regular shows.

** And then those regular shows would be abruptly cut off by the ''actual'' cancellation of the show on May 24th, making ''them'' into a [[Hope Spot]] as well.

*** [[The Chick]] — The Aborted Fetus

*** [[The Sixth Ranger]] — Celtic Brony

*** [[The Hero]] — Ghetto Capitalist

*** [[The Lancer]] — Tub Guy

*** [[The Dragon]] — Gasgara

*** [[The Evil Genius]] — [[Obfuscating Stupidity|The Engineer]]

*** [[The Dark Chick]] — Debi Daly

** Modern lineup:

* [[Game Mod]]: ''True Capitalist [[Doom]]: Bronies on Earth''. Replacing various weapons and powerups with various happenings on the show, such as a "Can crusher" shotgun, a pearl launcher as the rocket launcher, a hadoken for the [[BFG]] or invulnerability being "Chatroom Martial Law". Although the enemy sprites weren't changed, they did receive some voices and names such as the Fruitbowl (Imp) or FU Texas Beast ([[Cyber Demon]], which of course, plays "Fuck You Texas" when it comes out).

** Ghost himself claimed he actually liked the DOOM mod.

* [[Godzilla Threshold]]: After [[Despair Event Horizon|Newt Gingrich won the South Carolina primary,]] Ghost was so disgusted with the crop of Republican candidates that he considered supporting Ron Paul.

** He has also considered moving to "Canadia" since, in his words, they're getting more capitalist than America

** He knew the whole situation with Asho in November was all a setup.

* [[I Lied]]: Ghost claimed that his final show would be on March 9th. As it turned out, there was no show on that date, and it was merely an attempt to troll the trolls.

{{quote|Well folks, I think it's time for everybody's favorite part of the broadcast, AND I'M TALKIN' ABOUT ''RADIO GRAFFITIIIIII''! Hahahahaaaa!}}

** "Ghost baby what's goin' on?!"

* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: "Cause drinking is what I like to do~!"

** Well, there's gotta be an explanation for all those cans! However, he considers himself to be a connoisseur and ''not'' an alcoholic. He has also often used the allure of cheap drinks on 6th Street as an excuse for potentially ending the show when he's angry.

** Some of the callers are this, because they have to fit whatever they're trying to enrage Ghost with into a few seconds so he doesn't hang up on him.

* [[National Stereotypes]]: In his "Guess the Minority" game, Ghost tries to identify the race of the caller by asking questions relating to these (i.e. "What is your favorite food?")

{{quote|'''213:''' One less enemy of the Ghetto Capitalist Revolution, baby! Woo!}}

* [[No Except Yes]]: It's not cans, it's "crap on his desk".

** February 28th, 2012: (in response to a caller playing a remix of "Bloody Tears") "Get out of here with your dumbass Mexican music... no, wait a minute, that's ''[[Castlevania]]''. Throw the Holy Water, I love that sound!" Ghost later went on to declare the second game in the series his favorite.

** He also likes Nirvana (specifically, the song "Rape Me") and is a big enough Marilyn Manson fan to know the b-side track "The Hands of Small Children" (and use it in his Woodchipper segment) and "We're From America."

* [[Opening Narration]]: Near the top of the hour, but always to the effect of "This is the (Second/Third and Final) hour of the True Capitalist Radio broadcast, I am your host, the man they call Ghost."

{{quote|'''Knee Slappington:''' OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

'''Engineer:''' BAP BAP BAP AWWWWWWWW }}

* [[Overused Running Gag]]: Twitter users continuously made-up names referencing the Texas fire, India and Turkey quakes, and Steve Jobs' death for a time.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Don't insult his family, especially his grandmother.

** "Guess the Minority", a segment where Ghost tries to guess the ethnicity of a caller by asking them questions related to stereotypes, or guessing based off their voice alone. He [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mPUJTjmgD4 freakin' loves this game, man!]

** Spontaneously breaking into song (Junkyard America!)

*** Twitter names combining Ghost's name with that of communist or fascist dictators (i.e. Ghostler, Benito Ghostini, Ghostef Stalin, Fidel Ghostro, etc.)

** Ghost playing clips from "representatives" from various foreign locales (including "Mr. Fortune Cookie" from Communist China, Machmud, a "representative of the Libyan rebel faction", and "The Guru", a stereotypical Indian)

* [[Some of My Best Friends Are X]]: "I happen to have a whole bunch of friends who happen to be black"

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbP9rm-abOk&feature=related Some of his best friends are] [[Hypocritical Humour|Wops and Camel Jockeys]].

** In September 2011, the usual trolls started targeting Goofy_Bone's show too. Despite trying to defend himself, he ended up caving in and doing his own version of Radio Graffiti. This continued over a slight hiatus Ghost had, but when he was alerted to this, he, predictably, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgrmf3JlsM4 called Goofy out and went off about it], as usual. He dubbed it a "poor man's Mexican version" and a "[[You Keep Using That Word|bean and cheese]]" version of his own show.

** Then in response, Goofy re-named it [[Take That|Bean and Cheese Graffiti]]

* [[Toilet Humor]]: What kind of a name is PoopTickler?!

** "I happen to have a whole bunch of friends who [[Blatant Lies|group poop]]."

** And then there was a single call consisted only of the sound of someone peeing into a toilet.

** And then another with the same sound of peeing, but with a Ghost laugh added into it.
