History Characters / Vinesauce

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: A piece of fan art of him had him serving hot dogs and he kept asking why he was serving hot dogs, completely ignoring the fact that he was drawn wearing a NakedApron.

** A CD taped to a UsefulNotes/GameBoy with a controller a fan gifted him. He spent some of [[https://youtu.be/RJmtp26d8fs NY Desucon 2016]] trying to give it back.

* TheGamblingAddict: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. He's not into gambling with real money, but by his own admission will look like this trope with anything involving fake currency. His playthrough of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67K_LMIeDWU The Coin Game]]'', a boardwalk arcade simulator, shows a lot of this in action.

* {{Manchild}}: Frequently describes himself as one, and fans like to characterize him as such as well, in both cases due to some of the sillier antics he pulls off on-stream. He'll often bring up this trope when his crude sense of humor forces him to bring it up, such as when ToiletHumor gets him to laugh, or [[https://youtu.be/oYBGapg8Quo?t=1233 when he re-dubs a game]].
--> '''Vinny:''' This is a 33-year-old man playing baby games and screaming. Enjoy.

* FatAndSkinny : Mike has had Fredrik Knudsen of ''WebVideo/DownTheRabbitHole'' as a frequent guest on his streams,and they even have a podcast together, The Warrens. Mike is stout with dark hair and a beard and of Sicilian origin through his dad, while Fred is skinny, clean shaved, and a blond of Norwegian stock on his father's side.

-->'''Jeremy:''' Did I make it!? Did I make it in time for the stream!? Anybody-- Hello!? ''(banging noises)''\\

-->'''Jeremy:''' ...Why do I have ink on my hands? This [bomb defusal manual] is fresh print.\\

-> ''"I'm sorry traveller...."''

* WhamLine: After a long conversation about how barren the server is, and how everyone she knows has disappeared she says goodbye to Vinny...except his username at the time is "Vinesauce" and there is absolutely ''no way'' a bot can know Vinny’s real name.
-> '''Hitomi:''' Goodbye.
-> '''Vinny:''' goodbye
-> '''Hitomi:''' [[INeverToldYouMyName Vinny]].
-> '''Vinny:''' WHAT THE [=FUcv=]/\

-->'''Ralph''': [[ShoutOut Oh my god]], [[MemeticMutation what's wrong with your arms?]] They're fucking sleeves.

[[caption-width-right:128: Scoot the Burbs]]

-> ''"What did the beaver say to the tree? It's been nice [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner gnawing]] you!"''

* CameBackStrong: After 'testing his power' with [=VineMEMZ=], where he took control of Joel's copy of Windows 10 with a modified version of [=MEMZ=] (but the VM crashed and had its Master Boot Record overwritten before he could go any further), he returns in Windows Vista Destruction via the "Bonzify" virus, which is able to completely overrun the computer with ease and bring it under his control.

-> ''"Moosklés. Yes, the moosklés. Ooooh yes."''

-> ''"[[TemptingFate What? Norwegian Ninjas?]]"''

* BroughtDownToNormal: It's said early on that he isn't using The World (his Stand), [[ZigZaggedTrope though later it's implied]] that we just may not be able to see it. (More specifically, Joel and GPM wonder if Vinny has a stand; since non-Stand users can't see Stands, there's no way for them to tell.)

* CharacterTitle: Inverted; Joel named Grand Dad after the title screen, which refers to the game as ''7 Grand Dad'' instead of ''Super Mario 7''. The cartridge itself has the text "Grand Dad [=3M=]" on it.

* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: Where he came from. Joel sums his [=3D=] model's appearance as [[StylisticSuck something a bootlegger would make]].

* FunnyForeigner: Joel is Swedish. More prominent in [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness the early days]] of Vinesauce, when his accent was more pronounced. Among other things, this led to him [[FunetikAksent pronouncing Vinny as 'Winny']]. Much like LetsPlay/JackSepticEye, he [[https://youtu.be/dqpajbe7j6c?t=5665 used to be embarrassed]] by his accent and, as he puts it, "butchery of the English language", and used to mumble a lot to hide both of these things from his audience. Later down the road, he would play this trope for laughs by occasionally doing bits in a SimpletonVoice with a stereotypically thick Swedish accent to parody Swedish stereotypes.

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: One of Vinesauce's few female streamers, and the only streamer to get genuinely scared during horror game streams. Not that it stops her from playing them!

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: Admits she isn't very fond of gory games and stuff, though still loves spooky and creepy things.

* LamePunReaction: Rather prone to {{Pun|s}}, often to the dismay of chat.

* CulturalCringe: His [[https://youtu.be/_dOanb8MrG4 2016 Christmas stream]] was dedicated to things he hates about Swedish culture, including overhyped fast food, social distancing (before the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic), [[ForeignQueasine weird dishes]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a gamer cafe with]] [[IncrediblyLamePun bad gaming puns]] on its menu.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Happens [[InUniverse during his streams]] whenever watching a [[YoutubeKidsChannel finger family video.]] A lot of these videos contain rather [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids dark subject matter]], such as [[TheAlcoholic drinking]], {{domestic abuse}}, or deaths in the family, among many things. However, due to the fact that these videos depict characters such as [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] or [[VideoGame/PoppyPlaytime Huggy Wuggy]] being subjected to these, combined with the notion that [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids these videos are ment to be geared towards children]], are so incredibly absurd that they loop back around to being funny.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: When he lost his internet for a week, he recorded ''Music/SuperGhostbusters'' over the course of the week. The album indicates he is anything ''but'' sane.
-->'''Joel''': [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext GRANDMA HAS DIED!]]

* BerserkButton: He outright ''despises'' the fast food industry, especially UsefulNotes/McDonalds.

* YouTubeKidsVideo: His "Finger Family Friday" segment is dedicated to taking the piss out of these, as well as content farm videos aimed at older audiences.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: Vinny's charity incentives are basically a roundabout means of doing things he ''really'' doesn't want to do. For 2020, one of the incentives was "watching anime" - said anime [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBSa993rPxU turned out]] to be ''Anime/{{Akira}}''. Although Vinny enjoyed it for the most part, he was still hesitant to even give ''AKIRA'' a shot since the "anime" he's used to are [[WidgetSeries weird]] and/or [[{{Fanservice}} lewd]] Japanese mobile games on his Sunday streams. Joel later made fun of this shortly after the charity, saying watching ''AKIRA'' wasn't much of a punishment at all.

One of Vinny's oldest friends from way before the creation of Vinesauce. While he originally began as a recurring guest on Vinny's streams with no real affiliation with Vinesauce in any way, his appearances have proved popular enough for him to eventually gain [[https://www.twitch.tv/jabroni_mike/profile a stream of his very own]].

* SamusIsAGirl: Finds out in ''VideoGame/{{Facade}}'' that "Jo" is a girl's name, much to his confusion. [[MoodWhiplash Then he gets called "Andrew"]].

* NervesOfSteel: Not a big fan of horror games as he doesn't find many of them even remotely scary (and therefore boring to play and stream). He'll usually respond to such games with his usual snarking or DullSurprise. The few times he does get scared typically involve games which venture away from the cliches of the genre, including ''VideoGame/{{SOMA}}'', ''VideoGame/SpookysHouseOfJumpscares'', ''VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning'', and the Toppins Monsters in ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'', and even then he'll get over it once he becomes familiar with the formula.

The second most famous streamer on Vinesauce next to Vinny himself, if not even more so, with his main channel sitting at roughly 745K, compared to Vinny's 710K. This Swedish dude specializes in the awesome, hilarious, ridiculous, and of course, the fecalfunny. He was once known as Exinthevatican on [=YouTube=], but later switched to the same username he uses on Twitch (Vargskelethor). Well known for blasting virtual machines (usually running UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows, particularly Windows XP, though he once did a brief [[UsefulNotes/MacOS Mac]] destruction stream) with all sorts of blatantly obvious malware, including [=BonziBUDDY=], as well as playing bizarre bootleg video games for all sorts of retro systems, like the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] and UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis for example, and sometimes, even newer ones as well, and for his balls to the wall insane Sims 4 custom series memefest known as WebVideo/MemeHouse, And his annual [=VineWrestle=] series, where he puts various characters in wrestling matches to duke it out, and for talking about all sorts of weird and bizarre life experiences he had, like the time he accidentally downloaded a desktop stripper when he was young, and how about he got a ton of badly tasting juices in little juiceboxes. Yeah. It gets wild. He also [[https://vargskelethor.bandcamp.com/ makes heavy metal music]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUnw-yyuiF8 made an RPG Maker game back in the late 2000s]]. Did we mention he's Swedish?

* OlderThanTheyLook: On the rare times he appears on camera, people will comment on how young he looks for someone in their thirties. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1Fa7Y0fj40 playthrough]] of VideoGame/PokemonStadium with Creator/{{Cinemassacre}}'s Mike Matei has a lot of such comments.

* OnlyOneName: He's only known as Vinny, or occasionally 'Vin' (the latter usually by Imakuni and Southbird). As he makes a list of 'Vinnys' he mentions a few 'Vince', so his real name is Vincent. But his surname isn't said, even though Rev (Colin Mullin), Joel (Joel Johansson), Imakuni (Marisa Hunt), and Direboar (Jonathan Morrow) have shared their full names (as well as Hootey sharing his first name and last initial, Scott H.) and it's not even in his music album. Even on a brief Creator/{{CNN}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=551CRcASqJA television appearance]], he's only referred to as "Vinny Vinesauce" by the newscaster.

Grey Leno is the host of TUURD, an online TalkShow that's best described as what would play on late night television in Hell. Initially introduced in "The Gray Leno Show", the end result of Vinny's Nightmare Puppeteer stream in April 2022, he's since reappeared a couple of times in intermissions between clips in the main channel's compilations.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Gray Leno is pretty obviously based on Creator/JayLeno.

* SurrealHorror: TUURD is borderline incomprehensible, and it's certainly undeniably creepy.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: He has a tendency to randomly start projectile vomiting all over the stage, which he blames on a "rotten eclair".

-> ''"Moosklés. Yes, the mooskl&eacutes;. Ooooh yes."''

-> ''"Mooskles. Yes, the mooskles. Ooooh yes."''

One of Joel's characters from ''VideoGame/HardTime'', Bulk Bogan has become a reoccurring character on Joel's streams. A strange knock-off of Hulk Hogan, he speaks in a [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent bizarre non-specific accent]] and is obsessed with his "mooskles". Besides his exploits in Southtown Prison, Bulk has also ventured [[VideoGame/TheYouTestament during the time of Christ]], [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion through the province of Cyrodiil]], and [[VideoGame/TheSims4 shared a house with Dio Brando and Garfield]].

* TheBigGuy: He's a well built guy - proud as can be of his "moosklesss".

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Is never seen with a shirt on, so he can show off his "mooskles".

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: He's pretty obviously based on [[Creator/JayLeno Jay Leno]] but with the physical attributes of Reggie Fils-Aimé.

[[caption-width-right:176:Laimu]]

An English female streamer on Vinesauce who is often associated with seals and adorableness. Specializes in AAA titles, occasionally playing new games as they are released. In 2021, she started using a VirtualYouTuber avatar by the name of [[https://twitter.com/Limesalicious/status/1433590343279255555 Laimu]]. Outside of Vinesauce, she also appeared in the role of GuestStarPartyMember Lily in episode 3 of ''WebVideo/TheUnexpectables''.

* HurtingHero: He goes on adventures of his own in ''Super Sponge Bros.'', ''Super Mario Galaxy Repainted'', and Vinny's "Memories of Sponge" level in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'' despite his strong emotional problems.
