Craig Benzine, or [http://www.youtube.com/user/wheezywaiter wheezywaiter], is a popular [[YouTube]] user with a comedy vlog, eponymously named "Wheezy Waiter." New installments are uploaded every weekday, nearly without fail.
 
In his videos, Craig ostensibly (and primarily) plays "himself", but he creates a bizarre world of heightened reality, brimming with [[Cloning Blues|suicidal clones]], [[Slapstick]] bagel fights, [[Time Travel|time travel]], [[Divide Byby Zero|black holes]], and an off-camera whale tank (in the middle of his living room).

=== This vlog provides examples of: ===
 
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Craig's T-Rex toy that can no longer roar, as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuMjdoKF1VE
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Comes somewhat close to using it word for word in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLrCJo5rLcY&feature=bf_next&list=WL63EFA8738FD96681&index=1 this episode], where he lists things you should not do on Anti Corruption Day, including corruption, murder, and double parking
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6r0ceXTdjI This episode] has one. Before Craig actually starts talking, he makes a bunch of bizarre 'WHOOOOOOP' sounds, gnashes his teeth and makes a series of faces. It's bizarre, while there isn't a "plot" per se, it has nothing to do with the topic of the video, and the only reference to it was him saying "That was, um...I dunno" right after it happens, then goes straight into the topic of the video
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDWURXAd25M This video] starts with a BLAM.
* [[Buffy -Speak]]
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hello beard lovers." "I love it when the coffee's done!" "Gimme that bagel." "My life is boring." later replaced with the much better 'BEARD SLAM'
* [[Choose Your Own Adventure]]: Occasionally, you'll get to make a choice about what Craig does. He'll badger you until you do, sometimes drinking "human poison" if you fail to do so (afterwards explaining that he's dead, and it's your fault).
Line 27 ⟶ 25:
** It's actually rather rare for clones to be 'depressed', they just don't seem to understand that you can disobey Craig. (See Clone In Love who escaped by...running past Craig who merely looked back and admired the clone's butt.)
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mr. Wheezy himself.
* [[Disney Owns This Trope]]: In protest of complaints that any vlogger who "clones" himself in a video is copying fellow [[YouTube|YouTuber]]r [[Mystery Guitar Man]], Craig has declared breathing to be "his thing" and says that everyone else who breathes in a video is copying him.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Even Craig admits that Quiet Clone is his favorite.
* [[Freudian Slippery Slope]]: While Craig tries to tease Sarah Palin on the very [[Double Entendre]] ridden words that she used in an article, he quickly succumbs to this trope
{{quote| '''Craig:''' ''Sarah, I too believe that the media is sometimes not "up" to the task. Sometimes they're "soft" on the facts. Sometimes they're unable to "harden" their sexual organs...I mean their sexy research, I-I mean their research penis! ...I'll leave the metaphors to you''}}
* [[Don't Explain the Joke|Don't Explain The Joke]]
* [[Growing the Beard]]: Literally and repeatedly.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]
