5[[https://www.youtube.com/user/SlimKirby SlimKirby]] (whose real name is Rob) (born December 26, 1988) is a professional [[LetsPlay Let's Player]] on Website/YouTube. His early videos were poor in quality as he recorded his tv screen with a web camera, but he soon upgraded to a capture card to record his footage for his Let's Plays. Currently, his most popular Let's Plays are ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun'' (which has racked a total of over 10,000,000 video views altogether) and the ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' franchise. He has over 90,000 subscribers and over 76,000,000 video views.

7He also started a group collaboration of LP's on [=YouTube=] known as ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/CrystalStarStudio Crystal Star Studio]]'' along with [=YouTube=] users: [=GaiaCrusher9, KManrules1331, MegaFreak400, PowerToMario, ShadowMarioXLI, and ThePastaKing=]. However, this channel has currently ceased production of videos. He has also been a part of The Game Station (also known as TGS) since 2010.

135----
136!![=SlimKirby=] provides the following tropes:
137
138* AccidentalMisnaming: During his playthrough of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'':
139** Occasionally he calls Artur [[VideoGame/FireEmblemBlazingSword Lucius]] by mistake.
140** At one point, he nearly calls Seth [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]]. Cue a photoshop of Seth with Sans's head with "Megalovania" in the background.
141* ArcNumber: He's really not a fan of the number 41.
142* BackFromTheBrink: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YOOHQXLr5k&NR=1&feature=fvwp This LP of Mario Party 3!]] '''CHANCE TIME ACTUALLY WORKED! ON THE LAST TURN!!!!'''
143* BadassLongRobe: He wears one in a trailer for his [=MP2=] finale. He used it for a while as an avatar.
144* ButtMonkey: [=SlimKirby=] really hates Peach. Or what he'd rather call her, a bitch.
145** In fact, he has created a song just to describe her suckiness. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic And it's awesome]].
146* CallBack: When he plays Boo's Horror Castle in ''Mario Party 9'', [[spoiler:he wins by one star and whispers "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" in the same intonation as when he yelled it when he ''lost'' by one coin in one of the ''Mario Party 5'' boards.]]
147* CatchPhrase: "Hello everybody, [=SlimKirby=] here."
148** "I'm gonna bet the farm" was one for a while after he did a co-op vid of Game Guy's room in [=MP3=].
149** [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard "Knowing my luck..."]]
150** "I'm not gonna cry about it" is one he uses to downplay a very optional extra the game has to offer. (Or after he's suffered horribly at the hands of [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard unfair AI assaults]].)
151** '''"VIDEO GAME LOGIC."'''
152* ClipShow: Occasionally, after hitting certain milestones, he releases special montages depicting clipped moments from his projects starting with after the montage video before.
153* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Happens ALL THE FREAKING Time, even when it's not lag related.
154** Oddly, he seems to get his stolen from Boo by the computer players In Mario Party, even though he's not in first. The time he actually calls the CPU on it, though, he actually is in first with a star, but has less coins.
155** Happens the most with Princess Peach. In the Mario Party 8 playthrough of King Boo's Haunted Hideaway, right after [[BackFromTheBrink Peach steals his only star on the last turn and wins the game]], he finally broke and said that Peach would never re-appear in his board playthroughs for the game.
156* DamselScrappy: In-universe he treats Peach like this most of the time, save for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG''.
157* DoubleEntendre: He's particularly egregrious about the number 69 in his Mario Party playthroughs, though he has lightened up on it recently.
158* EveryoneHasStandards: He prefers to only use his face cam when filming videos where use of a face cam is actually appropriate, as he states in his reaction video for [[LetsPlay/{{Chuggaaconroy}} Emile]] losing to AI Mario by one Coin at Toy Dream.
159* FunnyBackgroundEvent: He noticed the Miis based off Colonel Sanders and Madame Wario are both dancing together and finds it hilarious.
160* GoshDangItToHeck: Typically, he refrains from cussing in his LP's, usually limiting himself to "shoot" or "dang it".
161* HeroicBSOD: He gets this whenever he gets REALLY cheated. Examples include "ONE COIN!" and the rabbit race in Donkey Kong 64, which seemed to cheat blatantly. Also, when his GCN crashed after he was about to win a VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance chapter, he lost it.
162* HollywoodToneDeaf: Sometimes he sings in his videos, and his videos sometimes think of his singing as such.
163* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: His Donkey Kong 64 replay is full of this.
164* IronicEcho: "I am ''not'' doing a Let's Play of Radiant Dawn." Two years later...
165-->'''Slim''': Hm...I am ''such a liar''.
166* LamePunReaction: In his playthrough of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlue'', he named Poliwag -- his favorite Pokemon -- "[=SwimKirby=]". He repeatedly chuckles about how dorky that is.
167* LongRunner: He's been doing it for 8 years, with very little delays between projects. He really devotes a lot of time and care into it.
168* PrecisionFStrike: It's very rare for him to swear, but when he does, it's really appropriate.
169* RightForTheWrongReasons: During ''VideoGame/KirbysAvalanche'', Slim regales the story of how, as a child, he placed a strip of tape over the red light of the SNES to stop it blowing up overnight. It didn't blow up... because the average SNES wouldn't blow up anyway.
170* RunningGag:
171** In ''VideoGame/MarioParty'', Chance Time screwing him over.
172** In the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games, whatever character Slim is playing as will be squished within a few minutes of first activating SuperMode.
173** In ''VideoGame/PokemonGold'', his planned names [[GenderBlenderName not matching the genders]] of most of his Pokémon that he obtains.
174* ShipTease: Done in a joking fashion between him and his [[PlatonicLifePartners good friend]] Madame Wario (such as Madame nicknaming the Pink Yoshi in ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'' "my lover, Slim Kirby"). Some newcomers to either [=LPer's=] channel have mistaken this for them ''actually'' being a couple, but it's really just a RunningGag.
175* ThemeSong: During the time he had an opening to his videos, he had a remix of the ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' theme alongside videos from ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''.
176* ThrowingTheFight: Played for laughs in his ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' playthroughs. Once he reaches the required points for one of the hosts, Slim throws the rest of the microgames on purpose. He can be creative: one instance has him yell "No!" for a microgame from Mike in ''Touched!'' that requires silence.
177* VitriolicBestBuds: He and [=ShadowMario41=] constantly take potshots at each other in their vids, and to the Maze game, a game maker game [=SM41=] made, but they are actually really close friends and the makers of their own Co-op Let's Play channel, Crystal Star Studios.
178* WeDidntStartTheBillyJoelParodies: He ended his ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' playthrough with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E8P_lMPL-A "We Didn't Start the Let's Play]].
