He started out doing exclusively [[RolePlayingGame RPGs]], but beginning with ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', he started doing other genres as well, such as [[PlatformGame platformers]].

He is also a big fan of the [[SuperMarioBros Mario]] series. Thus far, he has [=LPed=] six Mario games: three [[RolePlayingGame RPGs]], two platformers, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. He has indicated that he might do ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' and ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' at some point, but thus far he has not revealed any definite plans for them.

After more than two years at it, he became a YouTube Partner, which was unprecedented among Let's Players (multiple others have since become partners), due to the legal "gray area" that showing game footage entails. He's also joined a new collective of gamers called TheGameStation, which looks to be shaping up as an [[FollowTheLeader alternative]] to Machinima.com. Finally, he's well known for his work with TheSpeedGamers, even appearing live at their home base for two separate marathons, the second of which was the first time since he started doing [=LPs=] that he's shown his face on the internet (he appeared wearing a mask in the first).

He's also collaborating with ProtonJon and {{NintendoCapriSun}} on a collective LP account, known as TheRunawayGuys.

----

!!His Let's Plays and other videos provide examples of:
* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: In his deleted tag video, Chuggaa claims he can turn his head 180 degrees.
* AbusiveParents: Claims the player character has these in Emerald.
* AccidentalInnuendo: In-universe, he likes pointing it out when he sees it. In particular, he found himself unable to take a certain scene in ''MajorasMask'' seriously, due to the camera angles adding layers of VisualInnuendo for him.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNTPp8V_Ko He has a thing for "chests".]] (Around 8 minutes in)
** "Bro-balls!"
** "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SCREW YOU, WALLY?"
* AccidentalNightmareFuel: He claims the only genuinely scary thing in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' is Luigi's OffModel face icon in the save screen when seen in high video quality. [[invoked]]
* {{Adorkable}}: All the fangirls (as can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=814wY6z966M here]]) agree with this.
* AllMythsAreTrue: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] at 3:13 in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqz4NyITxnI&feature=feedu this video.]]
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In-Universe:
** Pikmin/Pikmin 2: Olimar is a loose cannon adventurer with a [[AxCrazy thirst for blood]], and in the sequel, the President is [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething willing to get his hands dirty at exploring the dungeons. Even more than Olimar and the Pikmin]], [[LeeroyJenkins to the point of challenging Bumbling Snitchbugs]].
** Majora's Mask: The Goron Elder is a DirtyOldMan, Jim is a BadassBystander, and Zora Link is always trying to get concussions.
** Pokemon Emerald: The player character's dad (Norman) loves Wally more than his own son, Gym Leader Roxanne is a braggart who sounds like Dr. Phil, and many people in Hoenn are okay with making light of the S. S. Cactus's tragic crash and want to rob from it.
* {{Angrish}}: "DOH FREAKING PIZZAS". See the links at {{Hilarious Outtakes}} below.
** "FOR THE LOVE OF L... (beat) PEE!"
** "For the love... of... HilaryDuff on a STICK! Can I attack from the back?" [{{Beat}}] "[[FlatWhat What?]] [[LampshadeHanging That's got to be the most random thing I've ever said.]]"
* AntiClimax: [[spoiler:The rematch with Pokemaniac Steve]] lasts around 20 seconds.
* AprilFoolsDay
** In 2009, he did the ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'' joke LP.
** In 2011, he tweeted that LP #14 would be ''Pikmin 2''. LP #14 was actually ''Luigi's Mansion'', but LP #''15'', starting the day after ''Luigi's Mansion'', WAS ''Pikmin 2''.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: From {{Pikmin}} 2, Episode 24:
--> '''Chuggaa''': (While attacking an Armored Cannon Larva) DESTROY! KILL! MAIM! ...Taunt.
* ArtifactTitle: His username is supposed to be Chugga A. Conroy, but he found that most websites don't allow spaces or punctuation in their usernames, leading to the somewhat strange moniker of Chuggaaconroy.
* ArtificialStupidity: In ''{{Pikmin}}'' and its sequel, the titular species frequently disobey his orders and sometimes [[TooDumbToLive get into hazardous situations.]]
--> '''Chugga''': Pikmin AI...
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny:
** It's not exactly unheard of for him to get distracted during ramblings or walking to get something, significant or not. Possibly the funniest example is in his first episode of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' LP:
--> '''Chugga:''' ''"...and hopefully we'll find some trace of Mario-" *coins pop out of a drawer* "OOH! COINS! MONEY! SHINY! (Beat) Wow, I got easily distracted from that outro. Well, see you next time! [[{{LampshadeHanging}} And no, I do not have ADHD.]]"''
** Sometimes he'll be explaining something, only to get distracted and never explain it again (or take a while to remember it). In episode 25 of ''Pikmin 2'', he got distracted ''twice'' within ''a minute'' of each other:
--> '''Chugga:''' ''"If I'm not mistaken, that is the first Wollywog death we've had that there is a Skitterleaf, they're in the water...[[{{TemptingFate}} they're pretty harmless-]]" *Olimar and Louie both get knocked over by an attack* "-I say that and he knocks over both the captains!" *Louie gets hit again* "Then he knocks over Louie! He knocks over both captains at the same time, that was pretty good. The leaf doesn't really give that many Pikmin though and dang those leaves look really nice. Impressive for GameCube standards, that's for dang sure." *cut to a different scene and he never finishes his original sentence about the Wollywog*''
** It happens again in ''Pikmin 2'' Episode 46.
-->'''Chugga:''' ''"Um, I'm actually playing with a different controller, as if anybody cared. I'm playing using a -- Wow, it ate a white and died."''
* AuthorTract: He's not obnoxious about it, but he does tend to go into monologues about why some obscure/less loved thing or character NeedsMoreLove, in a way that sounds as if it were as obvious to everyone as to him.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the {{Pokemon}} games and uses it to great effect in his [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] of them, often quoting detailed statistics about damage multipliers in specific situations (and [[ArtificialStupidity mocking the AI]] for choosing attacks which are ineffective in that situation).
* BadassAdorable: [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] in his ''Wind Waker'' [=LP=], when he says "Cuteness never looked so badass".
* BeCarefulWhatYouSay:
** Chugga has started the [[MemeticMutation Steve Meme AND the NO coin left behind movement]] which he [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]]
--> '''Chugga''': I know you guys will not like that for the no coins left behind movement which you ''ACTUALLY STARTED!'' I gotta watch what I say.
** In episode 26 of ''Pikmin 2'', he notes how the [[spoiler:Water Wraith]] hasn't spawned yet in the Submerged Castle. It spawns IMMEDIATELY after he does so.
** And when he wanted to die to get more money.
* BerserkButton:
** He goes to Beedle's shop and gives him the complimentary card, hoping for something good. He gets nothing. [[{{CrowningMomentOfFunny}} So he uses all 99 of his bombs trying to blow up Beedle's ship.]]
--> '''"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"'''
** Ever since ''{{Pikmin}}'' ended, he doesn't like to hear about Steve (or any red leaf Pikmin), and goes out of his way to avoid mentioning him in any and all future LP's ([[ZigZaggedTrope usually]]). ProtonJon torments him with this in TheRunawayGuys, but those instances are for that page.
* BetterThanABareBulb: Chugga is exceedingly fond of LampshadeHanging, to the point where he points out almost every single trope that happens in the game, whether it be in something that he says or even the way he plays. Basically, if it's there, he's probably hung a lampshade on it.
* BigNo:
** Seen throughout, but especially at the end of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrh4AnNpTVM this video]] around 15:30.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FbsqirWZSU#t=8m40s This one.]]
** On occasion says "NO!", see CatchPhrase. When reading [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Smithy's]] dialogue, he'd have some epic ones.
* BigOMG:
** Many times, including an infamous example from his ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokemon Crystal]]'' LP, when he caught a shiny Koffing.
*** This one got upstaged ''majorly'' by Bonus Episode 2 of his ''Pokémon Emerald'' LP, where he caught a [[OlympusMons Groudon]] with a Nest Ball at ''full health''. Needless to say, he shatters our eardrums.
** Borders on the LP's RunningGag during his {{Pikmin}} 2 videos, especially when it involves enemies getting the drop on him.
* BigWhat: When things don't go well for him he usually does this. His famous freakout from ''{{Pikmin}}'' actually provided the page quote. In his [[SuperMarioGalaxy Super Luigi Galaxy]]-run, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n-u2WB7VLo#t=8m11s he even combined this]] with a [[LaughingMad mad laugh]] one or two times.
* BookEnds: He starts out his Majora's Mask LP with all three C-buttons empty, like the game forces. He ends the first half of the finale the same way.
* BornLucky:
** He hits the jackpot dozens upon dozens of times in his ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' LP's, having the Pretty Lucky badge save him from many dangerous attacks, [[CursedWithAwesome the curse]] increase his attack at ''very'' opportune moments (such as when he's using a Power Bounce) and getting his Star Points doubled after boss battles. IIRC, he probably only died once in the entirety of both games, and [[AutoRevive that was]] [[DeathIsCheap willingly]] to [[BonusBoss The Anti-Guy Unit]]. As if that wasn't enough to convince you, go see his fight against Macho Grubba in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door''. Despite Grubba boosting his attack, speed, and his double attacks, NOT A SINGLE ATTACK hit Mario. Chuggaa basically walloped Grubba without breaking a sweat.
** Chuggaa wanted a Koffing for his team during his play of ''Pokémon Crystal''. So naturally the very next Pokémon he runs into after telling us this is a shiny one. He was a bit [[{{BigOMG}} excited.]]
** Also in his Pokemon Crystal LP whenhe caught a Phanpy he checked it's stats. Save for HP they were all [[{{LuckySeven}} 7]].
** In Pikmin 2, he cracked open three different eggs in the same area, at the same time... and got three purple potions. Considering that he was perpetually low on purple potions for most of this LP...
** Subverted in the first episode of PokemonEmerald, where he loses a so called "button mash battle" against May by a critical hit.
*** On the other hand, he's finding a ''lot'' of items. Especially from using "Pickup" with Slavinator -- he says he's never seen a Pokemon get items that often.
** Also in PokemonEmerald, when battling [[spoiler:[[BonusBoss Steven]]]], Kappa gets '''4 critical hits in 5 turns'''. That kind of stuff usually never happens.
* BreatherLevel: Chuggaa considers [[{{Pikmin}} Glutton's Kitchen]] to be this. [[spoiler:Which was subverted when he ended up losing the largest amount of Pikmin up to that point.]]
* BrickJoke: One episode of his ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' LetsPlay is titled "This Video Ends With "Bitch"" at the very beginning. At the very end:
--> '''Chugga''': ''Highly inappropriate?! [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} We're walking down the fricking hall!]] Bitch!''
** In ''MajorasMask'' when he starts the Anju & Kafei quest, he begins the video by playing ''SkywardSword'' and lamenting that Majora's Mask doesn't have a run button. At the very end of the next video when he's finished with the quest, he says that it (either the in-game HeartwarmingMoment or the Couple's Mask) was worth the lack of a run button.
* BriefAccentImitation: As of 2011 has noted that he tends to slip into a vaguely Indian accent when reading out the dialogue of any 'quirky' character; in ''Majora's Mask'' he also does an Australian accent for any character who uses words like 'oi' or 'mate'.
* BrokenPedestal: ''Pikmin 2''. At the end of the LP he decides that he thought the game was better than it was because it took him years to hunt down a copy, and wanting is better than having.
* BuffySpeak: A common occurrence like during [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy the Melty Molten Galaxy]]:
-->'''Chugga''': "Let's feed him the things. The things, stuff, things, and yaaay! "Transfoooorm!" Wow, he's flying right into the place where the two lava things connect."
** And then we have this gem from his ''Pokémon Crystal'' LP and lampshaded with the labels:
-->'''Chugga''': "It's that thing! The thing with the stuff and the thing from the thing!"
--> (as he says this, pictures of Suicune, Entei, Raikou and Tin Tower appear with arrows pointing to them and the words Chuggaa notes next to them. For Raikou, it's labeled as 'Other Thing' and Tin Tower's label is 'Thing they happen to be from.')
* CallASmeerpARabbit: He occasionally refers to the Pikmin as carrots. It's a subtle reference, as in-game, Olimar named the little creatures after a common food back on Hocotate, Pikpik Carrots. Even better, those kind of carrots do come in yellow and blue varieties.
* CallBack: When he does a game that's in the same series as one he's already played, Chuggaa will usually quote something that he once said during the original LP. Or whenever he feels like.
** He nicknames his Torchic in ''Emerald'' [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Moegami]], even going as far as saying its a call back to an older LP.
*** Later on he catches a Phanpy in the safari zone and names it Darmani as a reference to his ''Crystal'' LP.
** A shorter range example, he notices that the final boss of ''MajorasMask'' does the same dance that the Redeads from a few episodes ago did, and makes the joke again.
* CatchPhrase: Loads and loads.
** Whenever he says the word "NO!", he'll say it the same way Robotnik did in that one episode of ''TheAdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', as seen in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6BL6QvKljo this video clip]].
** "I'm not gonna lie..."
** "Nintendo Logic.", whenever something happens in the game that doesn't make sense. He states that he actually got this from someone else in his LP of ''Wind Waker''.
** He uses "Whaddaya mean I did badly on XYZ? in just about every one of his Let's Plays.
** [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia "This is gonna be a piece of Demon Fang!" (Demon Fang = cake.)]]
** "Thank you, for dying!" Whenever he defeats a particularly annoying enemy.
** "''Ex-CUSE me!''" whenever an enemy/obstacle damages him, especially during his ramblings. This is more of a reference to TheLegendOfZelda animated series, more specifically the way Link says "Excuse me princess".
** "Cue the Music!" - used when he has to fast forward parts of his videos.
** "Alright, come on" pops up a bit, since he's a tad impatient concerning monologues.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with "For the sheer fact" when he noticed it and stopped. [[hottip:*:He said it five times in the [=FireRed=] aftergame, then mentioned that he would stop in Crystal, which was about six months later. So, it might still count.]]
** In his ''Thousand-Year Door'' LetsPlay, at the end of every chapter he would [[{{NoIndoorVoice}} yell:]]
--> '''"YOU GOT A CRYSTAL STAR!... AND YOU LEARNED THE SPECIAL MOVE [name of new special move]! END OF CHEE-APTER!"'''
** A bit of a lesser example is "Shiny...is...good."
** In his ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'' LP, he will often say "You/I got a thiiiiiing!" upon opening a large treasure chest. He even [[{{Lampshading}} lampshades]] this.
** In his ''[[{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Luigi's Mansion]]'' he has taken to saying "DOH I missed!" (referencing Wario's losing quote in VideoGame/MarioParty) whenever he misses an enemy or target. He's also been referencing [[KnyttStories Don't Eat the Mushroom]] whenever a poison mushroom shows up in Luigi's Mansion, even though ProtonJon isn't around for him to annoy.
** When he gets annoyed in games related to Shigeru Miyamoto, Chuggaa often shouts "MIYAMOTO!" out of rage.
** Not as often, but whenever something really stupid happens, you can hear [[FacePalm the sound of a slap]], after which he will say, "Did you hear that? That was my hand colliding with my forehead."
** If he gets a good score on something, or it goes unexpectedly well, he'll say "All right, I'll take it."
** If he gets two of something at one time, he goes "Two for the price of one, gramma!"
*** He even expanded this to failing at getting two and only getting one with "ONE for the price of one, grandPA!". In his words, odd numbers are grandpas and even numbers are grammas.
** During ''MajorasMask'' he'll grab onto a ledge and [[CallBack shout]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine "I GRABBED ONTO THE LEDGE!"]] Oddly done more in ''MajorasMask'' than in the LP it actually came from.
** "Hey buddy how's it going!"
** From Pokemon Emerald, not an example, but a severe LampshadeHanging: "...so very nice....And I keep saying "very nice"! It's like the new "sheer fact", the new "whatever", the new..."guys", the new..."one second, times up", the new... other overused things that I say."
** Videos often end with "I think we're gonna end things off here [sic]".
** "And I gotta say- (''gushes/bashes what he's talking about)''"
* CherryTapping / CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In ''PokemonEmerald'', after he gets pissed off during a gym leader fight by his enemy repeatedly healing his star Pokemon, he deliberately does nothing the last turn, letting the residue of a burn he already inflicted finish off the enemy as an insult.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: He likes to put small ones in, often before a boss fight (or occasionally in the middle of one).
* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Obviously deliberate, but in his LP of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'':
--> ''*As the Goomba group: *"Who's the hottie ya got there with ya?" *As himself:* "How dare you talk about Frankly like that!"''
* CrackPairing: Chuggaa jokes about someone (or even himself) dating a [[{{Pikmin}} Wollywog]]. [[invoked]]
** Then a pairing between [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Gohma]] and [[MajorasMask Gomess]].
* CreatorBreakdown: Apparently went through one during the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' LP for health reasons. [[StepfordSmiler He didn't let any of it show]], since he had to say it later on.
* CrossPlayer: Wanted to do this for Pokemon Fire Red, but decided not to because he knew he'd get made fun of.
* CutenessProximity: Occasionally gets distracted by his cats doing things while he's trying to play.
** Also when he meets the white Pikmin in Pikmin 2:
--> '''Chugga''': Aww, aren't you a cute little Voldemort impersonator... and look at that, he belched! These things are adorable.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has shades of this. Mainly rises when sarcastically contradicting something obvious he said, like how [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker getting a hundred Rupees is good.]]
** In Wind Waker, the text boxes that describe items are basically filled to the brim with this.
--> ''Telescope. Usage: One cutscene in the whole game that starts in about five seconds. I'M DEAD SERIOUS.''
--> ''Grappling Hook. Usage: Swing around to achieve your wildest dream: being Tarzan.''
--> ''Skull Hammer. Need I explain more? IT'S A FREAKING HAMMER.''
* DemonicSpiders: He really hates [[{{Pikmin}} Wollywogs]] due to them causing many casualties to his pikmin. [[invoked]]
** He's expanded this now to most of the enemies in ''Pikmin 2'', he still says they're cool and unique, but he still hates them.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "We are going to be going to..."
** Also sometimes will introduce himself with "[[CatchPhrase Hey everybody, it's Chuggaaconroy!]]" in a special way [[hottip:*:An example being in episode 3 of Majora's Mask, when he did "Hey...ev...ery...body...it's Chuggaaconroy!" in tune with the clock's bell]], then do it again normally just a few seconds later.
* {{Determinator}}: Chugga will go through ''any'' lengths to get the most out of an LP, as shown in ''Emerald'', where he bought an E-reader card from a collector, borrowed the Sapphire version of the game from the ''administrator'' of [[{{Bulbagarden}} Bulbapedia]] with overnight shipping which he paid for by himself, then went through a very roundabout way to get the Eon Pass onto his Emerald cartridge because E-Reader support was removed from the game. The end result of this was over $140 spent on twenty minutes of gameplay ''just because he wants his fans to know what it's like''.
* DisneyDeath: ''98'' blue Pikmin somehow managed to pull this off in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrh4AnNpTVM#t=15m40s one episode]].
* {{Dissimile}}: "Now, I'm sure you guys are all familiar with the game of golf. [{{Beat}}] Yeah, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_nKTOlw5u4#t=3m16s this]] is nothing like that."
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Came up during his ''Pokemon Emerald'' LP, where nearly every time he mocked [[OlympusMons Kyogre]] for not attacking him and just using Rest, it would hit him with [[OneHitKill Sheer Cold]].
* DontExplainTheJoke: As noted, he has a tendency to do this.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Double-Subverted; in ''Pikmin 2'' episode 34, Chuggaa had a dream he was going to lose a lot of Pikmin to a rock trap, nothing happened [[spoiler:until the very end, when a bomb rock fell on top of his squad. He didn't lose any Pikmin, but he was pleased a trap fell from the ceiling on the floor he was thinking of.]]
* {{Eagleland}}er: Refers to himself as if he were Type 2. PlayedForLaughs.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: When he was younger, he wanted his name changed to Steve because he hated his real name, Emile. [[HilariousInHindsight Then along came his Pikmin LP...]]
* EpicFail: Often on the BreatherLevel, and [[LampshadeHanging points out]] that it's probably the main reason people watch him.
** Didn't happen on camera, but Chugga mentioned in the beginning of part 53 of his Earthbound LP that he cut his finger on a soap dispenser.
** Another off-camera incident, during his Pikmin 2 LP, he tells us an interesting story about how he had one just earlier. He was used to using a laptop, but since it was in for repairs he used a desktop monitor instead. However, he was so used to just closing his laptop instead of pressing the power button on a monitor that he actually grabbed the computer screen and [[DamnYouMuscleMemory flipped it down onto his keyboard]]. Keep in mind his monitor is pretty darn big. (His computer's okay, though.)
** According to Twitter, he got stabbed through the foot by the prongs on a power adapter. [[AmusingInjuries He doesn't seem to really care though.]]
** Episode 29 of Majora's Mask has the Let's Play curse in full effect, as the doggy racetrack minigame that normally only takes him one or two tries takes him an ''entire hour and a half'' to do. Luckly, the dog would usually place between 3rd and 5th so he didn't lose all of his money betting on them.
** In Episode 34 of Majora's Mask, he mentions a huge error in the [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer Prima Player's Guide]] for that game. In the Great Bay Temple section, the guide recommends you play the ''[[ResetButton Song of Time]]'' to get back to the entrance, not the Song of Soaring. You can guess how well that went for everybody who owned that guide.
** Again from Majora's Mask, this one a running fail between episodes 42 and 43: He managed to trigger two switches perfectly on his first try in Stone Tower Temple, causing a chest containing a Stray Fairy to become accessible. However, the room he was in had two chests, and he mistook the switches as causing the other chest to appear. To top it all off, he missed seeing one of the chests (the one he thought he'd made appear), even when he went to the platform that chest was on to collect Rupees, leading him to conclude he had screwed it up. The post-recording edit text he puts up on screen during episode 42 berates his player self for being so stupid. Episode 43 has the traditional [[SchmuckBait "Turn Your Headphones Down"]] warning pop up moments before his player self finally figures out where the chest was.
** In ''Pokemon Emerald'' Episode 1, he lost the first rival battle.
*** Admittedly, that Mudkip got a lucky critical hit.
* MrFanservice: On the few occasions where he has shown his face, he tends to amass fangirls.
** Take a look at the comments on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=814wY6z966M this video]].
* EverythingsBetterWithBob: In ''{{Pikmin}}'', Bob is the Anti-Steve.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: [[MajorasMask Monkey logic!]] Like Nintendo Logic, only 'monkier'.
* EvilLaugh: Does this sometimes. And it's always freaking hilarious.
** Subverted at times in his playthroughs of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokemon]] [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver games]]; usually, if a character goes "[[EvilLaugh Fufufufufu]]" he will read it as "[[ClusterFBomb Eff you eff you eff you eff you eff you]]".
* EvilTwin: Seen on a facebook page known as Evil Chuggaaconroy. Apparently inspired by Evil_Notch on twitter.
* EyeScream: ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', Chapter 7, Episode 24. The comments section is absolutely ''full'' of this.
* TheFaceless: Used to be one of these for a long while, but is starting to avert it more lately, with TheSpeedGamers and an interview or two.
* FacePalm: In Luigi's Mansion, he says to make sure a Boo doesn't go in a certain hallway. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Said Boo does go in said hallway.]] HilarityEnsues.
* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: ''{{Okami}}'', in-universe, {{lampshaded}} -- "Don't take any of your problems head on, make them the Sun God's problem, mm-hmm!"
** In ''MajorasMask'': "Remember kids, if your best friend is going crazy, [[KillItWithFire light them on fire.]]"
* {{Fanboy}}: Of [[PokemonEmerald Flannery]], if at least to use his wording on the matter. He's also convinced she NeedsMoreLove.
* FirstNameBasis: He's only shown his full name once, as he prefers to go either by Chuggaaconroy or his first name Emile. (For the curious, his full name is [[AwesomeMcCoolname Emiliano Rodolfo Rosales-Birou]].)
* {{Flanderization}}: In his playthroughs of Pokemon Fire Red and Crystal, he occasionally caught legendaries in regular Poke Balls when he throws them for no real reason, other than running out of Ultra Balls. In Emerald, he starts trying to ''force'' this to happen by throwing all sorts of weak Poke Balls at every legendary he encounters. [[spoiler:And even though it takes a while, he always catches them in a weak ball, at near-full health, or ''[[BeyondTheImpossible both]]''.]]
* FlatWhat: In episode four of his [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]] LP, he [[AccidentalInnuendo calls Jim a]] [[HoYay majestic stallion]]. There's a quick black screen with Chugga giving one of these right after.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Chugga tends to be very tight-lipped regarding future [=LPs=], but he'll occasionally insert clues about his next LP into his current one. For example, his ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]'' LP begins with a musical cue from the following LP, ''Super Mario Sunshine''.
** The final episode from Chugga's ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' LP also contains a [[TheStinger Stinger]] about his following LP: ''{{Okami}}''.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou / ParanoiaFuel: This is starting to happen, not to the audience but to ''Chugga himself'', with Steve crossing over into other games and invading his other [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]].
** In TheRunawayGuys' ''Subspace Emissary'', ProtonJon points out that a red leaf Pikmin appears with Olimar when in statue form, and Captain Falcon kills all the Pikmin except a red leaf on his first appearance, leading to the joke that this is actually Steve come to torment Chugga.
** In his ''PokemonEmerald'' LetsPlay, he is challenged by a trainer named Steve who warns him "Don't forget what you've done to me! I'll make it so you can't forget!"
* FridgeBrilliance: InUniverse, this is why he defends [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Na]][[ExpositionFairy vi]].
* FridgeHorror: An InUniverse example in ''Majora's Mask'':
--> '''Chugga''': Wait...If a mask contains a spirit, then ''why do you have [[SuperMarioBros Mario's]] face on your backpack?''
* FridgeLogic: [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] whenever Chugga points out "Nintendo Logic". [[invoked]]
** Also, a lot of his humor is based on doing this to his own voiceover, saying something before pausing to really think about what he said and why it's wrong -- sometimes leading to VerbalBackspace and ThatCameOutWrong.
* FreudianSlip: Quoted word for word in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiEpQbtyQyU&feature=feedu Episode 40]] of his [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]] LP. His Slip? ...Well, you and Chugga both may need some BrainBleach after that particular thought. For those who don't want to watch the whole video, skip to the 2:30 mark.
* FullyAutomaticClipShow: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCK0jcHKsmc This fan-made clip show]] made by thelisoncruz features a compilation of Chugga's many running gags and strange noises he made throughout the years. It was released during the {{Okami}} LP.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In a ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n-u2WB7VLo video]], after Luigi obtains a star, a bug in the background can be seen wandering right off a ledge. Chugga even lampshades this with a caption pointing this out.
** In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmagMTaD6_8&feature=sub Day 7]] of ''{{Pikmin}}'', he accidentally knocks several of his Pikmin off the ledge during the Burrowing Snagret fight. They start killing Wogpoles and harvesting their bodies while Chuggaa's attention is elsewhere.
** At one point in the ''Wind Waker'' LP, a bird is seen paused in the middle of his attack animation right behind Link, who is performing a song on the Wind Waker.
** ItGotBetter. Chugga thought he lost 98 blue Pikmin due to all but 1 not showing up. He didn't notice the one. So while he's yelling [[{{BigNo}} NO NO]], a blue Pikmin walks to the onion.
** A bird humping a flower in ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''.
** A minor one in Episode 23 of his Pikmin 2 LP; while he's busy fighting a Breadbug in the foreground, another one from earlier in the episode can be seen in the background, being dragged towards the ship by a purple Pikmin.
** During the intro of one of his VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine videos, an NPC can be seen running around while on fire at the beach.
** In Majora's Mask, after he [[spoiler:frees the Deku Princess, the monkey gets dunked again.]]
* GenderBlenderName: Teddy the ''female'' [[PokemonEmerald Slakoth]].
* GeniusDitz: On one hand, he rambles and is known for making really bizarre, spacey comments, not to mention his AttentionDeficitOohShiny. On the other hand, he [[ShownTheirWork Shows His Work]] frequently, and has displayed knowledge about a number of unusual things, like spaghettification and Biblical myth.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Not so much in that he doesn't swear, but after the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' LP, you can hear him [[CurseCutShort stopping]] [[LastSecondWordSwap himself]] from saying more adult words than before. But in comparison to his own LPs, this trope is averted when with TheRunawayGuys.
** When he was co-commenting on one of [=AttackingTucans=]' MajorasMask videos, he lampshaded this by mentioning the trope by name.
* HeliumSpeech: In his Thousand Year Door LP, he used this during the Chapter 6 Bowser Interlude.
* HereWeGoAgain: Chugga sighed when he saw 5 red leaf Pikmin which he called Steve -- which has a '''''HUGE''''' fandom -- knowing people will squeal over it.
* HeroicBSOD: He experiences a serious one in Episode 27 of his Pikmin 2 LP, after losing over 60 Pikmin to a Volatile Dweevil.
* HilariousOuttakes: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N05tws1q-N0 These failed attempts]] at beating his Rival in ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XV8RGcgw8U Another video]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpKff0qtZKA and yet another]] of outtakes, these not all from one game but from various games that he'd played over the course of the previous year when these videos were released.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The only reason Steve bothers him is because fans won't stop talking about him. The only reason fans won't stop is because Chuggaa kept bringing it up afterwards and indulging opportunities to mention him in later [=LPs=]. For as much as Steve haunts Chuggaa, a lot of it is Chuggaa's own fault. Since this is oddly ignorant of Chuggaa, it's possible he's just trying to ham it up and play it for laughs.
* HopeSpot: In his Emerald LP, his newest {{Mon}} Altair managed to just barely knock out Norman's Slaking, when it was the only pokemon Chuggaa had left. Chugaa relaxed and celebrated, thinking he'd beaten the Gym Leader... then he realized [[OhCrap Norman still had one pokemon left]].
* HypocriticalHumor: Making fun of Pokemon (Emerald) for using bad puns for names.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: According to his now-deleted 50 Facts video (according to Chugga, some of those facts were seriously outdated), he's actually autistic but tries "as hard as [he] can to act like a normal person because [he] always dreamed of being one as a child." Subverted, as he was actually misdiagnosed.
* InMemoriam: Though not dead, he has one for the Tentacool he catches in an episode of ''Emerald'' when he decides to leave her in his character's PC for the whole game and not on his team.
-->ACOOLTENT
-->Episode 7 - Episode 7
** BackFromTheDead: Mentioned by name in Episode 41 when he starts using it as a slave for Dive. Later, he returns to Slateport City and visits the Name Rater offscreen. Enter ACOOLSLAVE!
* IncrediblyLamePun: He makes one and lampshades it in Episode 5 of his ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Let's Play. After noting that the wires attached to the windmills are likely power lines, he comes across some flower platforms that also have wires attached to them.
-->'''Chugga''': What, are those flowers generating power, too? I guess they must be using [[NewAgeRetroHippie flower power]]. Ohhhh, that was a horrible pun.
** "GO TO HELL! GO TO SHELL! WHATEVER! [{{Beat}}] [[LampshadeHanging That is easily the worst pun I have ever made.]]"
** Heck, Chugga is the absolute king of these. He has an IncrediblyLamePun every few episodes of his LP's, not to mention being the main "punner" of TheRunawayGuys.
*** Some fans even believe that Chugga is TheAnnoyingOrange in disguise.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Nintendo Logic.
* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: Lampshaded in episode 14 of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''. "Why can't I just burn down these boards to get at whatever's past there?"
* ItsPopularSoItSucks: InUniverse. While Chuggaa isn't ''nearly'' as hateful as practiced examples of this trope, he will often proudly state when he's unimpressed with something popular, and other times gush over obscure things. Only a mild example though, there are popular things (usually popular games) he still likes.
* {{Keet}}: He self-defines as "A five-year-old in a twenty-one-year-old body," and also calls himself "spazztastic and always bouncing off the walls."
* LargeHam: I ''dare'' you to find one episode where he doesn't send his mic levels careening into the red zone.
* LaughingMad: A few moments, but a particularly memorable one occurs in Episode 8 of ''Emerald'', where he lost all but one of his Pokemon to the Gym Leader's Makuhita. In desperation, he sends out his level 3 Zigzagoon (which he'd caught purely for the purpose of teaching [[YourMileageMayVary "useless"]] HM moves). The moment his Zigzagoon entered the field, the poison Acooltent had inflicted ended up knocking the Makuhita out, netting Chugga the win. The Zigzagoon got enough EXP to jump from level 3 to level 7, by the way, and Chugga just kept laughing throughout the whole level-up process.
* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: Lampshaded in Majora's Mask Episode 41 after a treasure chest spawns in the middle of a lava pool:
--> '''Chuggaa''': Okay, seriously! That thing is made of wood! How does that not burst into flames?
* LetsPlay: He is most known for these, although they're not the only videos that he's made.
* [[HeroesWantRedheads Let's Players Want Redheads]]: He was devastated when he learned that [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Jasmine]] wasn't an actual redhead.
* LimitedWardrobe: Nearly every time he appears on camera, he's wearing a blue striped polo shirt. This has not gone without note by his fans, who have {{Flanderized}} his love of polo shirts. In one RunawayGuys vid, he [[FandomNod references this]] and then attempts to [[CargoShip make out with his shirt.]]
* LostForever: His videos of Pokémon Platinum, which consisted of the important fights (Rival battles, fighting Team Galactic, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains) and capturing the legendary Pokémon.
* LuckySeven: The Phanpy in his ''Pokémon Crystal'' Let's Play had all its stats at 7.
* ManlyTears: His description of the [[MajorasMask Circus Leader's Mask]].
--> [[BadassBystander Jim]] would be so proud of us!
* MeaningfulName: His Yoshi partner in ''The Thousand Year Door'' is called 'Scrap'. There are two reasons why: the first one is because he's a small fighter, the second is because [[FridgeBrilliance he's a scrap of paper.]]
** In ''Crystal'' his shiny Koffing is nicknamed 'Methane' because it's blue [[hottip:*:as a result of being shiny]], a gas, and explosive [[hottip:*:it recently learned Selfdestruct]].
* MemeticMolester: Considers [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Luigi]] to be into children, after the plumber makes a sketchy remark in Luigi's Mansion. [[hottip:*:While in the twins' room and examining a picture of one of the kids, Luigi said "I wonder if there's any goodies in there." Actually, Chugga's aim was a little off, so he was aiming at a drawer, meaning Luigi was wondering if there were any goodies in the ''drawer''.]] [[invoked]]
* MillionToOneChance: In his ''Pokémon Crystal'' LP, he encounters a Shiny Koffing, and even states the odds of finding said Pokémon (1/8192). What makes it [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidental]] was that he stated that he wanted a Koffing for his team before said Shiny appeared.
** The capture of Latias. [[spoiler:He caught it, a Level 50 Pokémon at full health, with a ''Nest Ball''. The chance of that happening is ''0.4%''.]]
* MindScrew: The gravity of some planets in the ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' playthrough fell into this for him.
** In episode 17 of his Pikmin 2 Let's Play, his brain was broken as a result of a red Pikmin randomly dying shortly after being plucked from the ground. After the boss was dead. And there was nothing else to kill the Pikmin in the room [[hottip:*:The Pikmin fell victim to a rare glitch where collision pushed it through a wall; when this happens, the game kills them to avoid freaking out trying to fix the issue]].
** He invokes this in one episode of ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' where he says something, then says he's going to get a lot of comments about it because viewers will pause the video and comment then continue the video and hear him say this and get their minds blown.
* MisterExposition: Combined with {{ShownTheirWork}}. He shows extensive information on Pokémon in all ''Pokémon'' games, including their stats, location, evolutions if they have them, and much more.
** In Okami, he explained all of the references to Japanese mythology throughtout the game.
* MoodWhiplash: In the ending of his ''Thousand-Year Door'' LP, after a heartwarming scene that cuts to a beautiful shot of Rogueport in the morning:
--> ''"And to think, Rogueport looks like this every morning." ({{Beat}}) "Like it's in a sea of piss."''
** In his PokemonFireRed LP, Chugga was annoyed with the trainers and muttered that he wished they'd all die, when he happened upon a trainer who was mourning his recently deceased Onix, his mood took a U-turn.
* MostAnnoyingSound: 'In-universe', so to speak. Chuggaa ''hates'' [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask the Woodfall Temple's music and the noise that Odolwa makes]].
* MostWonderfulSound: The screeching noise that the [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Grabbing Ghosts]] make just tickles Chuggaa. [[invoked]]
** Also claims this in ''PokemonEmerald'' whenever he gets to do the voice of ''Mmaxie from Teamm Mmagmma!'' [[invoked]]
* MotorMouth: He can speak really fast when he wants to, especially during his introductions or freakouts.
* MST3KMantra: He often points out ridiculous parts of the game, calling them "Nintendo Logic". [[invoked]]
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: People apparently often mispronounce his name, Emile, as Eel. Chugga calls this out during Super Luigi Galaxy, saying it's not that hard to pronounce.
* NeedsMoreLove: Invoked. This is more or less his "theme". VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG, VideoGame/PaperMario, VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor, and PokemonFireRed are the only games he's played that didn't have notable criticism. VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy didn't either, but it fits the theme due to him playing as Luigi, who is considered more of an underdog compared to Mario.
** The main reason that Chugga decided to [=LP=] ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' was his belief that it was an extremely underrated and under-[=LPed=] game.
** Ditto for ''{{Okami}}'', as he considered it at least semi-obscure.
** And also for the ''Mother'' series.
** Less than usual, but also for TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask.
** And Pokemon Emerald, as it is one of the least popular Pokemon series.
* [[NeverTrustATrailer Never Trust An End-of-Episode Preview]]: The end of his semifinal Pokemon Emerald episode shows a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome dramatic reveal]] of [[spoiler:[[BrickJoke Pokemaniac Steve]] wanting a rematch]], leaving a {{Cliffhanger}} for the finale. [[spoiler:In the finale, Chugga beats Steve in under half a minute and spends most of the actual episode fighting [[BonusBoss Steven]].]]
* NightmareFetishist: A little bit, the [[UncannyValley Happy Mask Man]] is one of his favorite Zelda characters and he loves the [[HellIsThatNoise theme of the final hours]].
** He also goes into a disturbing level of detail on the phenomenon of sphagettification early in the ''Super Luigi Galaxy'' playthrough, and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it with this caption: "Enjoy your NightmareFuel!"
* NoDialogueEpisode: For the most part anyway. During the second half of the {{Okami}} finale, Chuggaa only said one thing towards the beginning of the battle and spends every other moment in silence.
* NoIndoorVoice: He can get really loud when he's excited.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Taken UpToEleven during the ''MajorasMask'' LP in regards to things that will be important later in the game.
** In ''Thousand Year Door'', he deliberately commentates as though he doesn't know how the mysteries in certain chapters will inevitably play out, even [[spoiler: letting his partner eat a cake he knew was poisoned.]]
* OhCrap: In his ''Wind Waker'' LP, he threw a bomb at a door. It bounced off and it landed in front of him.
-->'''Chugga''': ([[BeatPanel Pause]]) ''OhCrap''!
** Also this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XV8RGcgw8U&feature=player_detailpage#t=209s outtake]]
** Yet again in part 31 of his ''Pokémon Crystal'' LP.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrh4AnNpTVM&feature=youtu.be&t=15m39s This]] little gem from his ''Pikmin'' LP.
** And in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_630574&feature=iv&src_vid=rEUDFQu_W2c&v=zrfrLKhBMKs Episode 14]] of his MajorasMask LP 5 minutes in.
** He's got another good one in his ''Pokémon Crystal''-run, in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3fFB3VEIFPI#t=76s Part 5 of the Johto Finale]]:
-->"Okay, I'm... not like I'm helping it. Not like I'm helping all the situation of- [[OhCrap OOOOOH CRAAAAAP]]!!!!"
* OnceASeason: Changes his channel icon each time he begins a new LP to a picture that corresponds to the game he's playing.
** Every LP he gets sick somewhere towards the early or mid game and has to take a break. Every time.
* OpeningNarration: Almost always opens with "[[CatchPhrase Hey everybody, it's Chuggaaconroy!]] And welcome back to Let's Play (insert game here)! In the last episode, we (brief summary of the previous episode). In this episode..."
** Nowadays he typically says something off topic about where he is in the game, then gets to his traditional narration.
-->'''Chugga''': You are now seeing a visual representation of Luigi's personal space. Please do not invade it. Hey everybody, it's Chuggaaconroy! Welcome back to...
-->'''Chugga''': [[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} I like how they wrote "food" backwards.]] Hey everybody, it's Chuggaaconroy! Welcome back to...
** Chugga's intro for episode 3 of Majora's Mask was actually '''in sync''' with the clock dings. Complete with random pauses and video zoom out.
* OverlyLongGag: Starting in Chapter 7 Episode 18 of his ''[[VideoGame/{{Mother3}} Mother 3]]'' LP, when the characters ingest the [[MushroomSamba psychedelic mushrooms]], Chugga speaks in a high-pitched stoned voice for the entire sequence: a total of 14 minutes. Apparently the joke was annoying to so many that Chugga uploaded a second version that mutes it.
* PanderingToTheBase: InUniverse. Chuggaa feels like he's doing this any time he (positively) mentions Steve the Pikmin after his Let's Play of Pikmin 1.
* PerfectlyCromulentWord: From his ''[[{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]]'' LP, one of the commenters gave Chugga "ezirewolf" as the verb describing the Withering Blowhog's act of turning flower Pikmin back to leaf Pikmin.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Like all Let's Players, Chugga suffers from the "Let's Play curse", where he plays worse on-camera than off-camera. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] every single time it happens.
* PetTheDog: The [[{{Pikmin}} Waterwraith]] actually let Chuggaa/Olimar off easy on a few occasions in a row in Pikmin's [[ThatOneLevel Submerged Castle]]. Of course, Chuggaa lampshades it.
* PoesLaw: For April Fools Day 2009, he did an intentionally poor [=LP=] of ''VideoGame/MegaMan2'', which was actually a parody of all the poor quality [=LP's=] that particular game has received for some reason. Apparently, a lot of people took it seriously; he later felt it necessary to add a caption stating that his work was a parody and not a real [=LP=].
* PointyHairedBoss: Seems to view [[{{Pikmin}} The President of Hocotate Freight]] as being somewhere between this and a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt corporate executive]]
** RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The other half of the time, this is how he views the president. [[ArtificialStupidity To a fault]].
* PrecisionFStrike: After correctly guessing the lineup of a random trainer during Part 8 of ''[=FireRed=]'':
--> '''Chugga''': Moment of truth, guys. Moment of truth. Moment of truth, it's a Machop. I am a total fucking nerd.
** During his ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' LP, after destroying the first Jabbi hive fortress:
--> '''"NOT SO [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} PUNY]] ANYMORE, BITCHES!"'''
* PreviouslyOn: The first minute of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIFhvZ3FbYM this installment]] of his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' [=LP=], a random assortment of out-of-context snippets from the previous episode.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMagicCamcorder?feature=mhum This user]] took the same concept and made three more "Recap" episodes from chuggaaconroy's work.
* PuppyLove: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] with his jokes about Link and Romani in ''Majora's Mask''.
* RapidFireNo: In his {{Pikmin}} [[LetsPlay LP]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvIiDHjIM9Y&feature=player_embedded episode 8]].
* ReadTheFreakingManual: In episode 48 of his ''Pokemon Emerald'' LP, Chuggaa expresses surprise that, according to his fans, the [[GuideDangIt Braille puzzles]] to access the Regi Golems has a translation guide in the instruction book.
* RealMenWearPink: His Yoshi ended up hatching pink in his LP of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor''.
** [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Mr. Luggs]] is badass... even though he's wearing a pink dress. With ''flowers''.
* RuleThirtySix: Discussed in his Majora's Mask LP episode 18.
* RuleOfFun: The reason for most of the "Nintendo Logic" portions of the games.
* RuleSixtyThree: Notes that in Pokémon Emerald, there is a discrepancy in the gender ratio between Azurill and its evolved form Marill. Azurill has a 25/75 male/female ratio. Marill has an even 50/50. Chugga's conclusion?
--> '''Chugga:''' They grow a [[PrecisionFStrike dick!]]
* RunningGag: His bread and butter.
** Whenever a non-human character in ''VideoGame/PaperMario'' would kiss Mario, Chugga would shout "BESTIALITY! THIS IS NOT [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 SONIC NEXT-GEN]]!!"
** Pointing out every instance of "Nintendo logic" ever.
** Getting aggravated at his Pikmin frequently disobeying him.
** Before he became a partner he constantly mentions the time limit and how it hinders him.
** Building on the notion that the Mario games are based on ShigeruMiyamoto's real life, whenever something bizarre is seen, he speculates on how messed up Miyamoto's early life must have been.
** Calling the galaxies inside the Engine Room Dome [[CutAndPasteEnvironments unoriginal.]]
** Taunting the enemies in the day ending sequence if none of his Pikmin are left behind.
** His VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy LP has him making comments about how the Hungry Lumas have high/low metabolism depending on how many Star Bits they need to become obese.
** "Do you like the [[SceneryPorn art direction]] of [[{{Okami}} this game]]? Because I really like the art direction of this game."
** "Un-necessarily epic!"
** He sometimes will reference stuff from different games and would then add, "This is not (insert game title)."
** Yelling "THIS IS BURGER KING!!" Whenever the words "Have it your way" appear on screen.
** Giving voices to characters, usually giving them ridiculous accents that doesnt even fit the respective characters. He usually lampshades it when using a ridiculous accent.
** Getting the final blow on each boss in MajorasMask on their toe. Subverted with Gyorg, who has no feet in the first place...and lampshaded, of course:
---> I'm gonna have a hard time cutting off this one's toe!
** Mikau getting concussions.
** The Hocotate Ship in {{Pikmin}} 2 constantly interrupting Chuggaa.
* SayMyName: "[[ShigeruMiyamoto MIYAMOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!]]"
** "Mr. ''Mime!''" in his Pokemon Fire Red LP.
* ScapegoatCreator: Blames Miyamoto for lots of the things that go wrong in VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy, [[{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]], and so on. PlayedForLaughs and all in good fun, of course. [[invoked]]
* SceneryPorn: [[{{Okami}} "I really like the art direction."]]
* ScheduleSlip: Generally [[AvertedTrope averted]], though he usually takes a few weeks off after he completes each LP. When they do occur, he tends to give fair warning ahead of time.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: When he catches Groudon in a Nest Ball in his ''PokemonEmerald'' LP, he breaks into a couple of these, noting that he probably lost manliness points.
* SelfDeprecation: As a Let's Player, he's pretty much required to be self-deprecating. The best example is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXUyQVf_Yh4#t=4m19s when trying to capture Moltres]] in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon FireRed]]'', he goes on a long spiel about how he doesn't have anything better to do than spend nearly an hour "trying to cram a 6-foot bird into something the size of a baseball" (See the quotes page for the entire tirade). Immediately [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] when, after he finishes venting, he says "God, that was a really sick burn against myself."
* SelfImposedChallenge: Caught a Slakoth in his Emerald playthrough to mix things up due to her ability to only attack every other turn. He later tweeted that he regretted doing this challenge.
* ShmuckBait: Telling his viewers to turn the volume down whenever he's about to get really loud. Most people take it as a personal challenge.
* ShoutOut:
** When Luigi is killed from lack of gravity, he flips around while that is happening and Chugga mentions Luigi undergoes [[LetsPlay/SonicTheHedgehog2006 death by breakdancing]] in one episode.
** In the Pikmin playthough he messes around with the Pikmin with bomb rocks when something goes wrong he says [[TheSpoonyExperiment YOU FOOL!]]
** In his ''VideoGame/{{Mother3}}'' playthrough. while he's waiting for the Porky robot to finish, he shouts [[ProtonJon "MOVE FASTER POKEY!"]] He's made that reference multiple times since.
** He mentioned ElectricalBeast in his Pikmin LetsPlay and wondered what would happen next in his ''{{Minecraft}}'' LetsPlay. He also predicted that the Minecraft LP would be setting up for the Super Mario 64 Episode 60.
** His Pokémon in his Pokémon LPs are references to different things. For example, his Venusaur (from FireRed) is named 'Bulbapedia', and his Persian is called 'Meow Mix.' His Donphan and Dragonite (from Crystal) are called 'Darmani' and 'Volvagia' respectively.
** When in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' he encounters Toad obsessing over having dropped something in the toilet and then talking about flushing it in graphic detail, he comments that Toad sounds like NintendoCapriSun.
** In his ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'' LP, he may or may not have referenced Music/LedZeppelin when he discussed a [[http://youtu.be/1uVKPc1sHx8?t=5m46s stairway to heaven.]]
** When the [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Great Fairy]] appears, he goes "And now, we meet [[TheRunawayGuys TIM, HIS WIFE!]]"
** He can also be heard quietly singing {{NintendoCapriSun}}'s "Take A Dump On The Toilet" after a cut in Majora's Mask.
** After accidentally brandishing an empty bottle, he says he's "reminded of a certain [[NintendoCapriSun NCS]] quote.''
** Opening Episode 47 with a bit of a parody of how NCS would be so used to saying "Welcome back to The Legend of Zelda:..." that he would open OTHER LP's with "The Legend of Zelda"
---> ''"Welcome back to more Super Mario Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask!"''
** In his Wind Waker bonus video detailing the Tingle Tuner, he starts singing "Calling" from VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou.
** In ''PokemonEmerald'', when confronted with an enemy called Marc, he says "[[TheRoom Oh hai Mark!]]"
* ShownTheirWork:
** His explanation of Spaghettification in the first video of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Super Luigi Galaxy]]'', as well as his spiel during ''Pokémon [=FireRed=]'' about why an Electrode should be able to learn Surf.
** In general, his posting the full biographies of every Pokémon, from stats to locations to appearance rates.
** He mentions having done a lot of research in Japanese mythology so he could explain the backstory behind {{Okami}} (see quotes page).
---> ''"[[ThisIsSparta STU-DIED!]]"''
** He educated the viewers about how Wurmple's evolution into Silcoon/Cascoon was random in ''Pokémon Emerald''.
* SoBadItsGood: [[invoked]] His opinions on the Vanillite line, and [[PokemonRubyAndSapphire Maxie]]'s portrayal by MarcThompson in the Pokemon anime.
* SpaceJews: (Affectionately) interpreted Business Deku Scrubs as being Jewish, and that Jewish people had HelicopterHair [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome that everyone wishes they had]].
* SpringtimeForHitler: He was so sure he was going to screw up a puzzle in Majora's Mask (episode 43, if you're interested) that he did it perfectly on his first try. HilarityEnsues.
* {{Squee}}: Often when things ''really'' start looking up for him. Including finding a Phanpy and a Shiny Koffing, and now catching Groudon with a Nest Ball at near full health.
* StepfordSmiler: During ''MajorasMask'' he reveals that he wasn't really as excited for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' as he let on, due to health problems.
* TheStinger: At the end of his last ''MajorasMask'' video that concerned Stone Tower Temple, he had a stinger where he pointed out the similarities between the temple's entrance and [[spoiler: [[YoutubePoop King Harkinian]]]].
* StuffBlowingUp: With his Shiny Koffing/Weezing, he'd always set it to Selfdestruct or Explosion and [[{{EvilLaugh}} laughs maniacally]] at the sight of the opposing Pokémon going down with his own.
* StylisticSuck: His ''Mega Man 2'' joke LP.
** SpringtimeForHitler: Intended as an AprilFoolsDay joke mocking the many poor-quality ''Mega Man 2'' LPs on Youtube, it ended up being quite popular with some viewers who didn't get the joke.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: While he's trying to enter a code (no, not [[CheatCode that kind of code]]) in ''MajorasMask'', the video skips ahead a bit. "No, that cut wasn't because I had to go look up our code for this! It wasn't because of that! [[OverlyLongGag Wasn't! I swear!]]"
* TakeThat:
** Circumstances provide him with an in-context opportunity to quote NicolasCage in ''TheWickerMan''; a caption describes Cage as "one of the worst actors who ever made it big".
** In another video, he randomly tears into Michael Cera's acting ability. Ironically, he turned out to be a big fan of ''ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld''.
** An... interesting variation occurs during his ''Wind Waker'' Let's Play, where he delivers a jab at his close colleague NintendoCapriSun for talking about his practice file so much, takes it back, and pretends it never happened.
** There was one against ''TheSimpsons'' in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmqb-kFaFrQ&NR=1 Episode 13]] of his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' [=LP=], when he talks about wanting to buy square watermelons in Japan like they did on The Simpsons "back in the days when the Simpsons were still good".
** He repeatedly mentions how horrible a game he finds ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgeHog2006 Sonic Next Gen]]'' to be.
** Multiple shots have been taken at ProtonJon's [[ScheduleSlip erratic updates]]. [[ImStandingRightHere Including in The Runaway Guys' LPs.]]
** In Episode 14 of his Majora's Mask LetsPlay, an "[[SturgeonsLaw Unregistered Hypercam 2]]" tag pops up in the upper left hand corner after he asks "This is a quality video, right?"
* TechnoWizard: Chuggaa is a [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] version; he's been able to use a computer since he was three years old, and he's the one mainly editing videos for both himself and TheRunawayGuys, up to and including strenuously detailed charts for individual Pokémon information and player performance. It's even more obvious in his Facebook and Twitter accounts.
* TemptingFate: Quite frequently.
** During the outtakes linked to above: "What the heck was I worried about, it's a freaking Rattata[[hottip:* :said Rattata then uses Quick Attack, gets a critical hit, and KOs his last Pokémon]] WHAT?! WHAT?! WHAT?!"
** Upon getting 8 red coins in a difficult ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' level, Chuggaaconroy jokes "Yay. Now watch me die on the way to [the shine]." [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZFMIJoOFlQ&feature=related#t=8m55s And we do.]]
*** From the same video, around [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZFMIJoOFlQ&feature=related#t=2m27s 2:27]]:
--->'''Chugga''': How would ''anybody'' ever get hit by one of these- (''gets hit'')
** Another time, during the Megaleg fight ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gZqdkc_WSY#t=3m45s this video]]) in ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Super Luigi Galaxy]]''.
-->'''Chugga''': Honestly, if you can't get up here- (''he falls off''). I swear that was not on purpose.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XV8RGcgw8U&feature=player_detailpage#t=174s Once again in this outtake reel]]
-->'''Chugga''': I cheated death yet again, I am good at cheating death today wadududu. I should not have said I am good at cheating death out loud.
** On his first Pikmin 1 episode, he named the red leaf Steve and said he is the ButtMonkey, and we will not like him. Said pikmin 7 days later risked his life to carry back a Fiery Blowhog when Chugga said he needed more reds. To this day, he wouldn't live it down.
** In Pikmin 2, he postponed the [=SubmergedCastle=] for the Glutton's Kitchen, saying it is easier and can get him ''right'' under the poko limit for the other cave. Care to take a guess if he survived? [[spoiler: He lost 23 pikmin to 1 enemy.]]
** The mother of all Fate Tempting came in episode 26. He had managed to make decent progress in the Submerged Castle, having only one more treasure to take back, and then, fearfully, said that he was probably on the last treasure and the thing he feared hadn't spawned yet.[[spoiler: Cue [[DemonicSpider Waterwraith]].]] Cue Chuggaa FreakOut.
** Double Subverted in one episode of his Pikmin 2 LP after complaining about the rockfall traps:
--> '''Chugga''': "Seriously, the designers were just being-" *rocks start falling* "-JERRRRRKS [[{{MotorMouth}} they weren't really making the game challenging they were just being jerks in some areas! I'm sorry designers but that is just my opinion please don't throw more rock traps at me!]]" *pause as no more rocks fall* "Okay good, they didn't. Now don't throw one at me now that I've said you didn't!" *rocks fall*
** Used for '''''GOOD''''' when he said he couldn't get up a mountain while rolling in 1 try. He did just that.
** [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in the very first episode of "VideoGame/PokemonEmerald"; he called the first rival battle a button-mash and he lost via a critical hit.
** In [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_591423&src_vid=eGh2ev6oOyE&feature=iv&v=PyQfO4BGJxY this video]] (around the 8:35 mark), where he is fighting Kyogre and it has done Rest for several turns without attacking, he berates Kyogre for not attacking his Blaziken, Moegami, despite having a super effective move.Cue Sheer Cold (a 30% accuracy move) hitting.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Frequently overlapping with AccidentalInnuendo.
** In the final episode of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', Chugga is lamenting missing an opportunity to make fun of a large rubber duck that Peach had been sitting on. "Hey, what happened to her rubber duck? I wanted to do stuff with that thing. Oh, God! That sounded a lot wronger than I was trying to make it sound!"
** From {{Okami}} [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rnnw5hypt4&t=5m9s Episode 9]], "I don't want to let the poor kid sleep! He's what we're required to do next in the game! [{{Beat}}] That was not a very good way to word that."
** A truly hilarious one was in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', just before battling Cortez. When Cortez tells Mario to come into his lair and be lost to darkness, Chuggaa messes up reading it and says "Come into my hole!". He then repeats it with a laugh, {{Beat}}, "OH MY GOD!! I JUST REALIZED WHAT I JUST SAID!!"
** A non-sexual one in VideoGame/LuigisMansion: "Dang, ghosts have it all! They have money coming off of their fans instead of dust! Man, I can't wait to be dead! ({{Beat}}) Think before you speak, Emile."
** In Episode 46 of his Wind Waker LP, after a lot of failed tries in trying to get under the waterfall in the Forest Haven to meet Makar, he finally succeeds and says, "Okay, I guess I was supposed to grab it from down there even though I ''swear'' that I grabbed it from up there and lowered myself though, but anyway."
** In Super Luigi Galaxy:
--> ''[[{{ItMakesSenseInContext}} "Wow, Rosalina's got an enemy base in her bedroom!"]]''
--> "Luigi was [[SomethingElseAlsoRises gripping onto some sort of tall, long thing]]...uh...I have no idea how I can say that without it sounding phallic."
** From Pokemon Emerald: "Typically, Ladies have a lot of money, though, so beat them up."
** Also from Pokemon Emerald, while fighting Wally toward the end: "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SCREW YOU, WALLY?! ({{Beat}}) Umm, I can explain..."
* ThatOneLevel: He ''[[InvokedTrope hates]]'' [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Sea Slide Galaxy]] for its silver star and purple coin missions.
** Nor is he too excited about the Seafoam Islands.
* ThatOneSidequest: He sees the [[MajorasMask Dog]] [[LuckBasedMission Racing Track]] as this. It takes him a whole ''ninety minutes'' to complete it. Of real time. [[invoked]]
* ThatRussianSquatDance: Whenever he comes across a character who seems to be doing it, he sings Dschingis Khan's "Moskau". (Well, he would if he knew the words...) He's the article's page quote, by the way.
--> '''Chuggaa:''' Moskau, Moskau, I-don't-know-the-frickin'-words, I-don't-know-the-frickin'-words, ah-ha-ha-ha-HA!
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Because it's super-effective, bitch!
* TierInducedScrappy: InUniverse. He's not afraid to badmouth certain Pokemon, items, or moves in the ''{{Pokemon}}'' games. He hits Skitty/Delcatty and Snorunt/Glalie with this hard, more or less saying there's really no reason to ever have one. Then there's his opinion on Luvdisc...
* TooAwesomeToUse: He refused to use the Flower Tabs because they have the ability to fully restore FP after use in addition to increasing your FP total, justifying it in that he would use it to fully restore his FP when he would run out after battle. Problem is, he would often use FP restoration items in battle, so he wouldn't run out, meaning he would have a lot of Flower Tabs taking up space in his inventory doing nothing.
* TooDumbToLive: His {{Pikmin}} frequently get into situations like this. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCrL-0D-zGg This]] has some particularly glaring examples.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[{{Pikmin}} Steve]] going from being TheLoad to OneManArmy.
* {{Troll}}: How he views [[{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]] (not the developers, but the game ''itself'') to be.
* VerbalTic: "Whatever". He acknowledges this and vows to try cutting down on saying it, but so far, he's been very unsuccessful.
** "Like". He absolutely hates using it so much, but since so many people he knows use it all the time, he has real trouble stopping.
** "For the sheer fact"
** He has a unique way of saying "No", especially when asked in-game about something that is obvious or doesn't need to be shown.
** "What you're gonna wanna do is..."
** "though"
** "Either way" or "Regardless"
** "Very, very nice"
* UnreliableNarrator: He will often say something in an LP only for a caption he adds in post-production to pop up and contradict him (for instance if he misremembered something about the game).
** This becomes a RunningGag in his Pokemon LPs, where Chuggaa is constantly dismissing a move or Pokemon as sub-par only for it either to dramatically win him a battle or (in an enemy's hands) lose it for him.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential / VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Tried to blow up the Goron baby with a Powder Keg, but first spent a while mulling over whether he should or not. As soon as he decided he would, it blows up on Link.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: An in-universe example. Chuggaa has no idea how to refer to the banker in Majora's Mask.
** He also keeps accidentally refering to his female Slaking as male because it was named after his male cat, Teddy.
* ViralMarketing: Even back when he only had a few hundred thousand subscribers, half of his videos had at least a million views.
* TheVoice: He seems to have an aversion to showing his face on the internet (at least, since he started [=LPing=]), only having shown his face on TheSpeedGamers stream, and even then it wasn't until his second appearance ([[TheFaceless he wore a mask the first time]]). He was also interviewed at [=MAGFest=] 2011, the video of which is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=814wY6z966M posted on YouTube.]]
* VoodooShark: Two examples in MajorasMask:
** First is with the banker, who always holds onto your money even when you travel back in time, somehow having deposited cash hours before you've actually supposedly deposited it. Chugga believes he hangs onto the money by going back in time with Link, using a cow ornament, because [[BlatantLies "That cow is obviously a time machine"]].
** Later on in the Deku Palace, Chugga notes how you can actually see the guards' line of sight based on the lights coming from them. He chalks this up to all Deku Scrubs, aside from Deku Link, having '''''laser vision'''''.
* {{Wangst}}: His videos are FULL of it, done [[InvokedTrope deliberately]] [[RuleOfFunny over the top and played for comedy.]]
** "I know...First World Problems..."
* WellDoneSonGuy: Ignoring his usage of this trope in [[TheRunawayGuys another situation]], Chuggaa plays this trope for laughs whenever in-game characters he pretends to look up to give his character ([[TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker often]] [[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Link]]) approval.
* WellThisIsNotThatTrope: The introduction to his [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Super Luigi Galaxy]] LP shows everything from Mario's point of view, up to and including the title screen, when a sudden RecordNeedleScratch interrupts Mario's TitleDrop, and the text (which had been red and blue up to that point) turns green, and Luigi makes his own TitleDrop.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: His reaction to a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGO6t-BjerE#t=10m54s kung-fu wolf]].
* WhiteSheep: Recently revealed that he's the only member of his family who doesn't think video games are the work of the Devil and/or pointless.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Floormasters]]: He ''really'' doesn't like them, [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel and for good reason.]]
** The same with [[{{Pikmin}} orange bulborbs and wollywogs.]]
* WildMassGuessing: [[http://www.youtube.com/user/chuggaaconroy#p/u/0/91jKdoU3_Ok In Episode 41 of Majora's Mask]], he explains his theory on the Stone Temple based on his own research and things that other people have written about it. These speculations continue throughout the rest of the LP.
** He also thinks that Majora [[spoiler: could be female.]]
** And his theories on Link's character development. Questionable though since this Link is arguably among his less emotional incarnations.
* WorkingThroughTheCold: In his ''Pokémon Emerald'' LP, he ends up with a sore throat partway through, but continues recording episodes for a short while until it gets so bad he ''has'' to stop.
* WorthIt: In the Cavern of Chaos in his Pikmin 2 LP, he reaches a floor covered in Dwarf Bulborbs, as well as ''two'' Gatling Groinks (which he hates, possibly as much as wollywogs). He spent a very long time trying to kill the Groinks and most of the Bulborbs, then carry the Groinks back (they come back to life if their dead body is left alone), going through a lot of trouble and a couple of freakouts. In the end, he slays pretty much every Bulborb there (which is a dang big amount) trying to find the remaining treasure, only to find it's just sitting out in the middle of a room, so he theoretically could've gotten it without all that hassle. Then, when the treasure (an apple juice can) is shown on the screen after being carried back:
--> '''Chugga''': "Let me just say on the record, I love apple juice, so I'm gonna say that was [[WorthIt worth it]]."
* YouJustHadToSayIt: A particularly loud and hilarious one to himself after TemptingFate and summoning the [[ImplacableMan Waterwraith]] in ''Pikmin 2''.
