2
3	[[https://www.youtube.com/user/pcull44444 Pcull44444]] (often referred to as simply "Pcull") is a Website/YouTube-based [[LetsPlay Let's Player]]. And while being emotive and interesting to listen to is generally important for a Let's Player, Pcull is notable for going ''far'' above and beyond. He has an ''extremely'' bombastic narration style, full of [[LargeHam overblown diction]], [[ManOfAThousandVoices wildly vacillating voices]] [[BriefAccentImitation and accents]], and his fairly deep natural voice. Add to that a tendency to [[CloudCuckoolander ramble at length about whatever comes to mind while he's playing the game]] (he once burst into the entirety of a Music/TinyTim song just because he felt like it), and you have one wacky LP'er on your hands.

5	As for the games he's Let's Played themselves, he's tackled a number of games from Creator/{{Nintendo}} systems, mostly the Platform/SuperNintendo. He's also played a number of the 2D ''Zelda'' games, as well as several licensed titles.

40	----
41	!!This LP'er gives examples of:
42
43	* TheAhnold: One of his frequent impersonations.
44	* {{Angrish}}: Most of his part in the ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' race is like this, but special mention must be made of one moment late in [[http://youtu.be/jCjCFZx0mwk?t=27m09s Part 3]]: After getting thrown across the room for the umpteenth time by one of the rubber ducks in Stage 9, his frustration breaks down into complete gibberish. At the end of the race, he was given an ''achievement'' for the sheer number of times he went into an incoherent rage:
45	---> [[AC: Quit Yo' Jibba Jabba!]]: Spoke in gibberish the most
46	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny
47	* BigNo: ''Super Mario 64'', Parts [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23RQP5V1luc#t=20m20s 8]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCcNbO7LLZ8#t=22m33s 10]]. Tropers with headphones, be careful. It's kinda loud.
48	* BriefAccentImitation: Frequently.
49	* CatchPhrase:
50	** From his pre-mono days:
51	*** "OOOOOH WUTUP DISSIS PCULL!" (his old intro).
52	*** "Peace out, mother-truckers!" (his old sign-off).
53	*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmx-2DejNJY KERSLICEAH!]]
54	*** From his ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap Minish Cap]]'' LP: "SHUT UP, [[ExpositionFairy ELMO]]!"
55	*** "That is bad news bears!"
56	** Post-mono:
57	*** "Good gamer"/"God gamer", used genuinely after a display of great skill, or sarcastically after a display of great stupidity.
58	*** "We're in there."
59	*** "Hello?", "Rip", or "I disagree!" when something goes wrong.
60	*** "That was horrifying" after narrowly avoiding injury/death.
61	*** "First try!" when he succeeds at something that [[BlatantLies clearly took multiple tries]].
62	*** "I'm literate!" whenever he finds the Book of Mudora in any given ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast Link to the Past]]'' Randomizer run.
63	*** "[[TooMuchInformation I farted.]]"
64	* CelebrityResemblance: He fully believes [[VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing Diddy Kong]] looks like Music/MichaelBolton. Or Michael Bolton looks like Diddy Kong.
65	* CharacterDevelopment: In his earlier days, he was known for his extremely [[LargeHam hammy]] and clownish commentary, which he later admitted was a forced persona that became too tiring to keep up. Following his bout with mono, he reinvented himself with a relaxed, mellow personality and began focusing more on livestreams than Let's Plays. It's quite jarring to go from watching his 2011 ''Minish Cap'' LP to watching his 2016 ''Minish Cap'' stream.
66	* ClusterFBomb: Falls back on them every once in a while. Especially when [[{{Angrish}} failing at]] [[EpicFail easy tasks.]]
67	* CutenessProximity: Patrick is very very vulnerable to cute things. He is especially vulnerable to [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Dixie Kong]] and [[VideoGame/AHatInTime Hat Kid.]]
68	* DelicateAndSickly: He has a tendency to get sick and once was unable to LP for ten months when he had mono.
69	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A common gag format.
70	** In episode 13 of ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'', "This was an unforeseen event that I did not expect! [[LampshadeHanging ...hence, it is unforeseen]]".
71	** From ''VideoGame/BeetleAdventureRacing'': "I can't win if I lose!"
72	* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: He has a tendency to add the phrase "of doom and destruction" to things. Almost to the point of being a VerbalTic.
73	* TheDoorSlamsYou: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy4_qIoREX4#t=170 At one point]] in his ''Majora's Mask'' stream, he unwittingly attempts to leave the Stock Pot Inn at the exact moment the Postman arrives...
74	* EarWorm: He considers the [[VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing Wizpig]] theme to be this. It doesn't help that his Wizpig race went on for roughly 40 minutes!
75	* EmbarrassingLastName: He has expressed some chagrin (at least in LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys' videos) over his surname, [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Cullen]].
76	* FirstNameBasis: He almost exclusively calls himself Patrick (or Patty, if he's being cutesy), and very rarely uses his nickname, except in his intros.
77	* HandicappedBadass: He was sick with mono during ''Four Swords Adventures'', but that didn't stop him from doing the best in overall stats and getting the most #1 ranks. This is especially impressive considering he was also voted "Hero of Darkness" the most often, meaning he lost more points for that than anyone else did and still came out on top.
78	* HappyDance: The title screen music causes one at the beginning of his ''Earthworm Jim 2'' LP.
79	* HopeSpot: Lampshaded during the ''Battletoads'' race. After clearing a hard section, he immediately dies.
80	-->'''[=ProtonJon=]:''' That's what you get for getting cocky.
81	-->'''Pcull:''' I didn't get cocky... I got hopeful.
82	* IHatePastMe: [[https://twitter.com/PCULL44444/status/587583170666700801 As of 2015]], he hates the loud, hammy persona he used to put on in his earlier [=LPs=], finding it annoying and unfunny in retrospect.
83	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In ''Jet Force Gemini,'' he attempts to get himself killed in order to refill his health. He walks out into a dangerous battlefield full of ant troopers firing lasers and grenades back and forth, presumably at him... and it takes ''ages'' for him to finally die, despite only having two health left.
84	* InconvenientItch: He suffers from itches on various parts of his face while racing Wizpig in ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing''.
85	* InherentlyFunnyWords: Manages to do this to "...FISH!" in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' when he shouts it on the last note of the level end jingle.
86	* InsistentTerminology: Ezlo in ''The Minish Cap'' is always called "[[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]]". In ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'', Diddy Kong is "Music/MichaelBolton" and it gets more and more insistent over time, until by the end of the LP Pcull is even calling the game "Michael Bolton Racing".
87	* IronicNickname:
88	** As revealed in a co-commentary on ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64,'' he actually hates pickles.
89	** Similarly, when singing about how much he loves "FISH FILLETS!" (coins) in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' he adds that he hates fish in real life.
90	* ItRunsInTheFamily: [[https://www.youtube.com/user/YamikoNumber7 His sister]] is a Let's Player herself.
91	* JiveTurkey: One of his many, many stock voices.
92	* LargeHam: It is difficult to describe just ''how large'' his ham gets without listening to him. [[http://youtu.be/tOub1dQt-F4 Here's]][[note]]Why are you keeping such things in your chest? That just... concerns me.[[/note]] [[http://youtu.be/95VJTFXvlx8 some]][[note]]MOOOORMOONS.[[/note]] [[http://youtu.be/tm70pG2d-XI examples.]][[note]]MY GAME IS STEPPED UP![[/note]]
93	* LastLousyPoint:
94	** In-universe, happens to him when he attempts to get 100 coins in ShiftingSandLand in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64.'' He goes into the pyramid, exhausts all the coins in there, and finds himself with... 99. And he can't leave the pyramid, ''no matter how hard he tries.''
95	** [[invoked]] Happens ''again'' in LethalLavaLand, where he dies due to CameraScrew on the 99th coin.
96	* LastSecondWordSwap: "Peace out, mothertruckers!" Of course, he says it at the end of every video, so it's not ''precisely'' last second, but it's in the spirit of the trope.
97	* MadnessMantra: "THERE'S ONLY TRASH IN HERE!" from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsf5lrOE5G0 episode 11]] of ''Pokemon Red''.
98	* {{Malaproper}}: As he lampshades himself, in ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'' he keeps saying "I ''keep'' no prisoners" instead of "I take no prisoners" as a BadassBoast.
99	* ManOfAThousandVoices:
100	** Of particular note are his "Midwestern mother-in-law," "Surfer Dude," "Creator/ChristopherWalken," and "Mickey Mouse" voices. He also does an absolutely uncanny Morgan Freeman.
101	** During his ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap Minish Cap]]'' LP, he decides to give Ezlo a new voice for each episode.
102	* MetalScream:
103	** His old intro. "OOOOOH WUTUP DISSIS PCULL!"
104	** He also does this in his ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' LP whenever he gets the Metal Cap.
105	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound:[[invoked]] [[InUniverse Seems to think this]] about [[VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing Bumper the Badger]] announcing "My name's Bumpuh!" in a vaguely Australian accent.
106	* MotorMouth: Sometimes. In particular he reads the info point box text incomprehensibly fast in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''...apart from the ones he reads as Creator/ChristopherWalken instead.
107	* NerdGlasses: Invoked in his ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' stream. "How can your glasses be broken? Those are, like, your ''lifeline'' to being a nerd!"
108	* NoIndoorVoice: Absolutely ''none at all.''
109	* PerformanceAnxiety: The Let's Play curse hits him hard in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''. Combine this with oddball glitches, and he admits that his fail is probably what's keeping his fans interested.
110	* PersonAsVerb: In the first episode of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1'', he comments "I am a professional Donkey Konger! [[ThatCameOutWrong I Kong Donkeys!]]"
111	* PunnyName: In ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokémon Red]]'', most of the nicknames he gives his Pokemon create puns when coupled with the "Go! [NAME!]" part of the battle text. Except for FLARP!
112	* ARareSentence: In episode 9 of ''Pokemon Red'', "[[TalkLikeAPirate Shiver me bananas!]] ...I never thought I would say that in my life.
113	* RealMenWearPink: He breaks into a ''Series/HannahMontana'' song at one point. And he fully admits that he has no problems with knowing, or being able to sing, one.
114	* RunningGag: While playing ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'', he would say “Shut up, Elmo!” whenever Ezlo says something. Added to the extreme when [[spoiler:Ezlo is parting ways with Link, he’s still yelling at Ezlo to shut up.]]
115	* RhymesOnADime: "Goody-goody gumdrop! ...Listen to my tongue flop!"
116	* SelfImposedChallenge: After {{Argonmatrix}} disparaged the use of green boosts in ''VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing'', Pcull decided to LP the game without using them. This made the first Wizpig race... [[NintendoHard particularly insane]].
117	* ShapedLikeItself: In episode 1 of ''Diddy Kong Racing'':
118	--> '''Pcull:''' Yes! I got a capture card! It is capturing, and it is a card!
119	* ShoutOut:
120	** When his rival uses the move Teleport in episode 6 of ''Pokemon Red'', Pcull starts referencing LetsPlay/ElectricalBeast and imitating his accent.
121	** The title of his vlog channel, "A Secret Patrick", is a reference to LetsPlay/HCBailly's much-borrowed catchphrase "It's a ''secret pass-age!''"
122	* SignatureLaugh: "Hufufufu!"
123	* SimpletonVoice: He uses one of these for describing Pokemon in his ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon Red\|AndBlue}}'' LP. It sounds sort of like a cross between PJ from ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' and Pinky from WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain.
124	* SophisticatedAsHell: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZwE4ZtFNPs Dear Mono]]
125	* SoundEffectBleep: He sometimes uses the coin collection sound from the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' for this.
126	* StealthPun: His old Website/YouTube avatar was a pickle.
127	* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: "Tickety tickety tickety tock. This clock hand looks like a giant... flock of seagulls!" [[LampshadeHanging He then immediately points out]] [[DontExplainTheJoke the joke he just made.]]
128	* SurferDude: Another one of his stock voices.
129	* TemptingFate:
130	** Part 14 of ''Diddy Kong Racing'': "Just watch, I'm going to spend forty minutes yelling at this game." Actual time on the video: 41 minutes, 50 seconds.
131	** In episode 2 of ''Diddy Kong Racing'', he mentions that he only found out recently that you can fall off the side of the spiral level because 'I've never been bad enough at this game to fall off'. Three guesses what he manages to do seconds later. ''Twice''.
132	* {{Troll}}:
133	** Becomes this in ''Four Swords Adventures'', and as a result is voted the "[[TokenEvilTeammate Hero of Darkness]]" in seven episodes (out of twelve).
134	** His friend Clay, who appears alongside him in a few of his videos. In the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' stream in particular, he constantly tells Pcull to use absurd ToolAssistedSpeedrun tactics.
135	* UnusualEuphemism: Sometimes uses "Oh, ''clutch!''" as a curse.
136	* VerbalTic:
137	** "-appotamus," which he appends randomly to nouns. "Channelpotamus," "boostapotamus," et cetra.
138	** "Oh, ''boy!''" when he uses his WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse voice.
139	** "...[[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy Master Wayne]]" when he imitates Creator/MichaelCaine's voice.
140	* VocalDissonance:
141	** In his ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' LP, he gives Toad a deep, ''manly'' voice after brushing off a more typical high-pitched one. He also gives Bowser a squeaky, high-pitched voice.
142	** The ''entirety'' of his co-commentary on ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors.'' He gives each character pretty much the ''least'' appropriate voice.
143	** The low, manly voice he gives Jasmine at the end of his ''Aladdin'' LP.
144	** In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' he gives Yoshi a Creator/SamuelLJackson-like voice.
145	* WithLyrics:
146	** He constantly sings about Fish Fillets to the tune of whatever level music is playing in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. Especially the level end jingle.
147	** He constantly sings along whatever's on his mind to any one of the songs from ''Diddy Kong Racing''.
148	----
149	''Peace out, mothertruckers!''
