History LetsPlay / ChipCheezum

** Referencing ''ResidentEvil4'' at least once per LP.

* TheScrooge: Chip Cheezum gets accused of being this by Ironicus during the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' LP, because he insists on only recording footage on Wednesdays and Sundays (where you can get a 20% discount on all items purchasable with [[GlobalCurrency Drebin Points]]).

** Late into ''Metal Gear Solid 3'', Chip calls attention to a Viddler comment on one of their earlier videos which referred to Ironicus as "General Lack of Intelligence". Ironicus responded by saying it was "pretty accurate".

Currently ongoing [=LPs=] include:

* PutOnABus: Ironicus has had a nasty habit of turning up absent recently due to real life complications. It got to the point where the end of one of their [=LPs=] listed him as having died after recording.

->''"[[ThoseTwoGuys We're two guys]] [[TheyFightCrime who make fun of people]] [[{{Retsupurae}} on the internet]]. [[GenreBusting This is a radical new form of entertainment]] [[BlatantLies and we are the masters of it]]."''

A popular [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] on the SomethingAwful forums, Chip Cheezum has (at this time of writing) completed 18 Let's Plays, with all of them featured on the [[http://lparchive.org/ LP Archive]]. He has collaborated with fellow goons such as General Ironicus, [=VoidBurger=], [=SnarkCookie=], A Wooden Palisade and Ambisagrus. He often uploads {{Retsupurae}} videos to his [[http://www.youtube.com/user/chipcheezumsa?blend=1&ob=4 Youtube account]]. He and General Ironicus have [[http://chipandironicus.com/index.html their own site]], where all of their [=LPs=] have been posted. Doesn't seem to have a high opinion of those who add quotes on this page. Presumably, he finds it utterly hilarious that some well-mannered genius quoted something that he specifically asked not to be quoted.

* TheCameo: LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} [[{{Retsupurae}} and Diabetus]] do "guest commentary" (which sounds suspiciously like an unrelated Skype conversation with Chip about books) for the [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Bitter Mode run of Speed Buster.]]

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]] [[AvertedTrope averted]] in his {{Retsupurae}} video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlC0eJ6m-1M "Yowie wowie!!!"]] Most of the video consists of two girls kissing, but [[spoiler: [[YaoiFangirl they're actually]] [[{{Cosplay}} dressed up as]] [[Anime/{{Naruto}} Naruto and Sasuke]] [[ScriptFic acting out a]] SlashFic.]]

** He also shows off an impressive knowledge of JamesBond trivia in the first video of the Killer7 Lets play.

* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3''

Chip and Ironicus have also riffed on various web animations, most notably [[FanFic/ElementalGoddess Elemental Goddess]] and the first arc of the {{Xin}} series, as well as some anime.

** Also done [[MindScrew earlier and yet later]] with ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'', wherein the last few videos were reuploaded in "Uncut" form, which kept the commentary over cutscenes, some time after finishing its sequel. Similarly, ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'' had a few videos that were reprisals of earlier cutscenes with the duo's commentary re-added.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Happens at the beginning of "[[{{Manga/MadBull34}} Bad Anime #2]]", where Chip put a NSFW-message: "WARNING - Not Safe For Work - Murder, Gore, Sex, Sexism, Nudity, Attempted Rape, '''Brooklyn Accents'''"

* DisproportionateRetribution: Ironicus assumes at a slow moment during the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'' LP that Chip is doing said LP merely because Ironicus made a comment on ''not'' LP'ing stealth games, which Chip then jokingly agrees with.

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hilariously]] [[AvertedTrope averted]] in his {{Retsupurae}} video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlC0eJ6m-1M "Yowie wowie!!!"]] Most of the video consists of two girls kissing, but [[spoiler: [[YaoiFangirl they're actually]] [[{{Cosplay}} dressed up as]] [[{{Anime/Naruto}} Naruto and Sasuke]] [[ScriptFic acting out a]] SlashFic.]]

* [[{{Headscratchers}} It Just Bugs Me]]: Invoked by Ironicus, who complains about plot holes in ''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]'' [[RunningGag every time the]] [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4 B&B Corps]] show up.

** [=VoidBurger=], on the other hand, does an ''absolutely perfect'' impression of [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]].

* SelfImposedChallenge: Chip achieved the "Tsuchinoko" rank in VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3 by capturing said animal and keeping it with him for the entire game. In the stream of IndigoProphecy, he's apparently aiming to pee in every single toilet in the game.

* StealthParody: Chip's alter-ego, [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ChippoWai Chippowai.]] An insanely creepy, easily-distracted and only seldomly comprehensible otaku who's pretty much a gross exaggeration of bad YouTube [=LPers=]/people who defend said YouTube [=LPers=].

* UpdatedRerelease: The last few updates of their ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2'' LP got re-uploaded to YouTube with "Uncut" versions, similar to the second audio track found in their later LP's.

* ''{{Bastion}}''

* ''NoMoreHeroes''
* ''{{killer7}}''

* ''NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle''

* TheCameo: {{Slowbeef}} [[{{Retsupurae}} and Diabetus]] do "guest commentary" (which sounds suspiciously like an unrelated Skype conversation with Chip about books) for the [[NoMoreHeroes Bitter Mode run of Speed Buster.]]

* GainaxEnding: At the end of the NoMoreHeroes LP (during the last Bitter Mode videos), parodying Suda51's penchant for weird, nonsensical endings.

* GenreShift: ''{{Rez}}'' and ''{{Condemned}}'' were done by Chip alone, with subtitles instead of voice commentary. ''ZoneOfTheEnders'' was also solo, though he still actually talked.

** Feeding your cat in NoMoreHeroes.

** During the Bitter Mode fight against the final boss of ''NoMoreHeroes'', the two are discussing possible gimmicks for the video, and Ironicus suggests pretending they're fashion designers in the game's world:

* StylisticSuck: The video for the Bitter Mode "run" of [[NoMoreHeroes Letz Shake]] is done in a typical bad LP fashion, complete with jittery webcam footage.

* ''{{Condemned}}''
* ''GunstarHeroes''

* ''ZoneOfTheEnders''

* ''MetalGearSolid3''

* ''MetalGearSolid2''

* ''MetalGearSolid''

* ''MetalGearSolid4''

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Chip doesn't just [[MetalGearSolid crawl for rations]], he ''sneaks for Snake Snacks''.

** Also done [[MindScrew earlier and yet later]] with ''MetalGearSolid2'', wherein the last few videos were reuploaded in "Uncut" form, which kept the commentary over cutscenes, some time after finishing its sequel. Similarly, ''MetalGearSolid3'' had a few videos that were reprisals of earlier cutscenes with the duo's commentary re-added.

* BrickJoke: In the ''MetalGearSolid4'' LP, Chip introduces the Octocamo mechanic in the second update, and teases Ironicus about a camo pattern that makes him look exactly like [[SpiderMan The Shocker]] later in the game. Said camo doesn't appear until ''fifteen updates later''.
** In the beginning of the ''MetalGearSolid2'' LP, Chip enters the player name as "Suck my dick." The moment when Raiden pulls out his dog tags to reveal his "name" in the ending makes the whole journey worthwhile.

** ''MetalGearSolid'' was done by Chip and [=VoidBurger=], but during the Psycho Mantis fight General Ironicus is suddenly there. [=VoidBurger=] returns after the fight is over.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Ironicus assumes at a slow moment during the ''MetalGearSolid3'' LP that Chip is doing said LP merely because Ironicus made a comment on ''not'' LP'ing stealth games, which Chip then jokingly agrees with.

* [[{{Headscratchers}} It Just Bugs Me]]: Invoked by Ironicus, who complains about plot holes in ''[[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]'' [[RunningGag every time the]] [[MetalGearSolid4 B&B Corps]] show up.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Chip frequently impersonates the characters in each game. Invoked repeatedly in the MetalGearSolid LP, when [[RunningGag VoidBurger pressures Chip into doing a]] [[VeteranInstructor Master Miller]] [[RunningGag impression]].

* NamesTheSame: [[RunningGag Milked for all its worth]] every time it happens, but special consideration must be given to ''MetalGearSolid4'''s [[{{Scrubs}} J.D.]] and [[Film/BigMommasHouse Big Mama]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Any time Chip comes up with an 'original' character, chances are his name will be 'Hank', whether he's Chip's player-character in TheYouTestament, an {{expy}} for [[DragonBall Goku]], or [[MetalGearSolid4 Liquid Ocelot's]] "true identity".

--> '''General Ironicus:''' "They can retcon everything in [[MetalGear2SolidSnake that game]] ''except'' for poisonous Zanzibar hamsters."

** Every time a member of the [[MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots B&B Corps]] shows up in a cutscene, Ironicus will say "[[FridgeLogic You know what]] [[BellisariosMaxim I don't like about]] Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast?"

* TheScrooge: Chip Cheezum gets accused of being this by Ironicus during the ''MetalGearSolid4'' LP, because he insists on only recording footage on Wednesdays and Sundays (where you can get a 20% discount on all items purchasable with [[GlobalCurrency Drebin Points]]).

** When discussing childhood in the MetalGearSolid LP:

* SelfImposedChallenge: Chip achieved the "Tsuchinoko" rank in MetalGearSolid3 by capturing said animal and keeping it with him for the entire game. In the stream of IndigoProphecy, he's apparently aiming to pee in every single toilet in the game.

* UpdatedRerelease: The last few updates of their ''MetalGearSolid2'' LP got re-uploaded to YouTube with "Uncut" versions, similar to the second audio track found in their later LP's.

** At [[http://chipandironicus.com/games/mgs4/22hd.html the very end]] of the ''MetalGearSolid4'' LP, showing what happened to the cast after the end of the game.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: Feeding your cat in NoMoreHeroes.
-->'''Chip''': "Cat".
-->'''Ironicus''': "We are number 8." (Chip just finished defeating the rank 8 assassin)
-->'''Chip''': "WE'RE FEEDING IT!"
-->'''Ironicus''': "Let's feed our cat now that we're number 8. We are the number 8th cat feeder in the world."
-->'''Chip''': "Yes! I'm on the cover of Cat Feeding Magazine!"
** Later on in their LP of the sequel, their [[ItMakesSenseInContext cat massaging]] is eventually sped up and set to thrash metal.

Chip and Ironicus have also riffed on various web animations, most notably [[FanFic/ElementalGoddess Elemental Goddess]] and the first arc of the {{Xin}} series.

->''"Even whores gotta work their way up to the top. [[TemptingFate ...please don't quote me on that. Don't... don't put that quote down somewhere, like on TVTropes, perhaps.]]"''

* RunningGag: Switching abruptly to a ''Cabela's'' hunting game and acting like nothing is unusual about this.

* SelfDeprecation:

* TemptingFate: In the first part of TheYouTestament Let's Play, Ironicus wonders why you would ever need to jump in the game. [[spoiler: This, combined with wonky game design, was what ended up making the game unwinnable in the last video.]]

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: Done often at the end of games after the credits, with highly unlikely results for the characters, usually ending in a preview for the next LP.

* YouMonster: Ironicus calls Chip this, after Chip recounts an incident in ''{{Civilization}} IV'' where he lost an aircraft carrier to [[DeathOfAThousandCuts a single tribalman chucking spears at it]].

* RhymesOnADime: "[[KingdomHeartsII Time flies when]] [[spoiler: Goofy dies]]", and "[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII Jump in some hay]], [[SoftWater and you'll be A-OK]]".

* ''KingdomHeartsII''

Currently ongoing [=LPs=] include:

A popular [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] on the SomethingAwful forums, Chip Cheezum has (at this time of writing) completed 18 Let's Plays, with all of them featured on the [[http://lparchive.org/ LP Archive]]. He has collaborated with fellow goons such as General Ironicus, [=VoidBurger=], [=SnarkCookie=], A Wooden Palisade and Ambisagrus. He often uploads {{Retsupurae}} videos to his [[http://www.youtube.com/user/chipcheezumsa?blend=1&ob=4 Youtube account]].

Presumably, he finds it utterly hilarious that some well-mannered genius quoted something that he specifically asked not to be quoted here.

-->'''[=VoidBurger=]''': What is it with [[{{Fahrenheit}} David]] [[HeavyRain Cage]] games and pissing? Why does everyone piss? Is he one of those people that found it unrealistic that, like, in LegendOfZelda Link never goes to the bathroom?\\

* HiddenDepths: It usually doesn't show up much in their Let's Plays or RPs but Ironicus has more than a little knowledge of sociology as the 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand showed and he [[http://www.formspring.me/Ironicus/q/306647958554689318 apparently enjoys poetry.]]

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Chip frequently impersonates the characters in each game. Invoked repeatedly in when Let's Playing MetalGearSolid, when [[RunningGag VoidBurger pressures Chip into doing a]] [[VeteranInstructor Master Miller]] [[RunningGag impression]].

* SelfImposedChallenge: Chip achieved the "Tsuchinoko" rank in MetalGearSolid3 by capturing said animal and keeping it with him for the entire game. In the recent stream of IndigoProphecy, he's apparently aiming to pee in every single toilet in the game.

* TakeThat: The announcement that their [[FanFic/ElementalGoddess Elemental Goddess]] videos were being hosted on their website came with an instructional video from Chip on character design. Where he tapes a picture of [[DragonBallZ Goku]] to a drawing desk, [[CopyCatSue sloppily traces over it with markers and names it Hank.]]
