History LetsPlay / ChipCheezum

* AuthorAppeal: Ironicus sure loves his comic books. Also ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe''.

* NeverLiveItDown:[[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs. Big Boss says "Black site, nice." exactly once, in the opening cutscene of ''Ground Zeroes'', but Chip's Let's Play of ''Metal Gear Solid V'', everyone (including Big Boss, and even Chip and Ironicus themselves) has to impulsively say "nice" any time someone mentions a black site. [[RunningGag Nice.]]

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts [[UpdatedRerelease HD 1.5 Remix]]''

** When fighting on the baseball field before the Bad Girl fight in the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' LP, Chip makes a montage of the various minigame set to [[Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob "Sports!"]]

* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidV'' (''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVGroundZeroes Ground Zeroes]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain The Phantom Pain]]'')

* NeverLiveItDown:[[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs. Big Boss says "Black site, nice." exactly once, in the opening cutscene of ''Ground Zeroes'', but Chip's Let's Play of ''Metal Gear Solid V'', [[LOL69 everyone (including Big Boss, and even Chip and Ironicus themselves) has to impulsively say "nice" any time someone mentions a black site.]] [[RunningGag Nice.]]

Chip was also a Video Production Assistant for Creator/{{Volition}}, where he ran weekly streams for them on Thursdays, from early 2015 until September of 2017.

Big Boss says "Black site, nice." exactly once, in the opening cutscene of ''Ground Zeroes'', but in this Let's Plays [[LOL69 everyone (including Big Boss, and even Chip and Ironicus themselves) has to impulsively say "nice" any time someone mentions a black site.]] [[RunningGag Nice.]]

-->'''Chip''': R2 no! R2 WHY?!

-->''Hours of my life just for one offhand comment months ago.''

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Invoked during ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'' with P-Star; Ironicus quickly grows attached to him, and is especially enthused when [[spoiler: P-Star gets to participate in the {{Womb Level}}'s end boss]].

---> '''Chip Cheezum''': [[NauseaFuel I feel really weird right now.]] This is [[SickAndWrong wrong.]] [[AllMenArePerverts Usually]] I'd be like [[{{Squee}} "YEAAAAH!"]] but I'm like [[NoJustNoReaction "No, um, no..."]]\\
'''General Ironicus''': [[ItMakesSenseInContext I'm boxing up that lamp and putting it in storage.]]

** The last video for the Series/DuckDynasty LP. It's extremely unsettling, showing [[spoiler: the protagonist undergoing {{Body Horror}} while bringing in what may or may not be [[ApocalypseHow the apocalypse]] through the form of an old VHS tape]].

--->'''Chip''': Cat. Again.\\
'''Ironicus''': We are number 8.[[note]]Chip just finished defeating the rank 8 assassin[[/note]]\\
'''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!

-->'''[=VoidBurger=]''': What is it with [[Creator/QuanticDream David Cage]] games and pissing? Why does everyone piss? Is he one of those people that found it unrealistic that, like, in ''Zelda'' Link never goes to the bathroom?\\
'''Chip Cheezum''': That's like a thought that five-year-olds have, though! Like, I thought that when I watched Franchise/PowerRangers, like 'When do they pee?! They never pee! When do they go to the bathroom?!'

-->''The tongue was hanging out, there were flies on its face it was...ugh.''

--> "[=I AM AN OVERPRICED COMPUTER MADE FOR GRAPHICS DESIGNERS WHO ARE TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO ANYTHING WITH A PC=]"

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

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

--->'''Chip''': Everyone went, like, bonkers for gel pens. Even I did. I drew dragons and shit with them 'cause I was retarded as hell.

--> '''Ironicus:''' Ah, that'd be lame.\\
'''Chip:''' Plus we'd have to sound gay, and we... ''(Ironicus laughs)'' Well, that's us all the time, so.\\

-->'''Ironicus:''' ''I was [[Franchise/{{Superman}} born on the planet Krypton]] where my parents were [[Comicbook/SpiderMan bitten by a radioactive spider]] which [[Franchise/{{Batman}} killed them before my very eyes]] so I was sent on a small spaceship to the planet Earth [[Franchise/WonderWoman as an envoy of the Amazons]] where [[ComicBook/FantasticFour I passed through cosmic radiation which gave me many powers]] though when I landed I crashed into radioactive waste which [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} blinded me, but heightened my other senses]]; since I landed [[Comicbook/TheFlash I bonded with the Speed Force]] and met with [[Comicbook/GreenLantern a representative of the Guardians of Oa who gave me a power ring]] in order to defend [[Comicbook/CaptainAmerica truth, justice, and the American way]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Please let me into]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments your comic house!]]''

-->'''Chip:''' [[Literature/ATaleOfTwoCities It was the best of Metal Gears, it was the worst of Metal Gears.]]

* TemptingFate: In the first part of ''VideoGame/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.]]

--> '''Ironicus''': "At a point, isn't there a point where you have to start being skilled?", I thought at the time, is what I said then in the past!\\
'''Chip''': "I don't know how long I can keep doing this! I'm dying!" I said in the past.\\
'''Ironicus''': I also had a hard time keeping straight the timeline of events! On the one hand, there was, at the time, her speaking in black and white, and then there was her speaking in color, which happened before that, and also before I was talking about it originally, which was before I'm talking about it now, and in the color part she's talking about an ''even-further-back time''!

-->''[[WhatTheHellHero Why were you attacking tribalmen with an aircraft carrier?]]''

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 3''

* FanNickname: InUniverse, several times during ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance''. Blade Wolf is almost always referred to as the "[[RobotDog dog-shaped]] RobotBuddy!", after an iffy translation of an official poll regarding the possibility of a sequel to the game. Chip also exclusively refers to the Falling Lightning kick and the Lightning Strike dash as respectively the [[VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe Red Hot Kick]] and the [[Franchise/DevilMayCry Stinger]], since [[ShoutOut that's exactly what the moves are anyway]].

* OneOfUs: [[invoked]] Judging by this bit of commentary from ''[=MGS4=]'':
-->'''Otacon:''' [[ChildProdigy She]] believes she can find the answers inside a machine hooked up to the world... she spends every day inside the net, exploring...\\
'''Chip:''' Usually just making new pages on TV Tropes.
** There's also the page quote of him asking us specifically to not quote him ([[TemptingFate which happened anyway]]), and noting his page in ''No More Heroes 2'' [[http://chipandironicus.com/videos/nmh2/1u.html Episode 1]], also noting someone who edits the page.
-->'''Chip:''' Damn you, Alex!

* ShoutOut: Tons, seeing as both Chip and Ironicus are very much OneOfUs.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJJSbId_W-U His trailer]] for the Let's Play Wanking Session also has elements like terrible chroma keying, [[CopyCatSue Hank the Chog]], and INTUITIVE BORDERS.
* TakeThat: The announcement that their ''WebAnimation/ElementalGoddess'' videos were being hosted on their website came with an instructional video from Chip on character design. Where he tapes a picture of [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]] to a drawing desk, [[CopyCatSue sloppily traces over it with markers and names it Hank.]]

* AchievementsInIgnorance: The [[CloudCuckooLander Vapor Snake]] runs of MGSV are marked by either humorously deliberate incompetence to show off the game's features or this. In the main mission in ''Ground Zeroes'', he manages to sneak across the entire compound to reach Paz by [[GoodBadBugs throwing a smoke grenade into a truck, turning it into a tactical stealth vehicle]] instead of finding Chico first. In ''The Phantom Pain'' proper, he's able to complete a mission ''before it actually begins'' by blowing up some equipment during a scuffle that happened as a result of him going to a place where he wasn't supposed to be.

** Chip has a thing for showing off as many GoodBadBugs as possible, especially those involving RagdollPhysics. He's also a massive VideoGame/MetalGear fan.

Chip is also a Video Production Assistant for Creator/{{Volition}}, and runs weekly streams for them on Thursdays.

* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: In the final battle of VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance, when [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong kicks Raiden like a football and he lands to the sound of a football crowd cheering,]] Chip hastily blurts outs "The [[spoiler:football crowd cheering]] is not me, that's in the cutscene!"

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Chip has sometimes used co-commentators other than Ironicus; [=VoidBurger=] in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', snarkcookie for ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' and KC Green for ''Series/DuckDynasty''.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Half the fun of the ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'' LP is hearing Ironicus rant about the various inaccuracies of the game's portrayal of UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}.

* CatchPhrase: Ironicus will often say "This is the best game" whenever something really neat happens.

** Ironicus is also quite fond of saying "The end, credits roll" when something ridiculous happens, or at points that'd make a good cutoff for a video. Heard a ridiculous amount during the mind boggling ending cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid 4.

** In the original ''No More Heroes'' LP, LetsPlay/{{Slowbeef}} [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}} and]] LetsPlay/{{Diabetus}} do "guest commentary" (actually unrelated Skype conversations with Chip about, respectively, the thread for the LP and books) for the Bitter Mode runs of Holly Summers and Speed Buster.

Upcoming [=LPs=] include:

* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' (once in 2008, twice more in 2017 as a stream and then another full LP)

* ''VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders'' (twice; second time following ''Watch_Dogs'' below)
* ''[[VideoGame/ZoneOfTheEnders Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner]]'' [[/folder]]

*** Chip's inability to hit weakpoints on elbows is a recurring thing as well. At one point he only manages to hit an enemy's elbow weak point on the first shot [[EpicFail because it involved missing the elbow weak-point of the enemy]] he was ''[[AccidentalAminingSkills actually]]'' aiming at.
