1* AccidentalInnuendo:
2** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boeI4YsihRk&t=9m15s So what you're saying is, keep out of]] [[Franchise/TouhouProject Sakuya]]."
3** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dlg-Zf8oj7A Touch chests to get books.]]
4** "So, basically it's head or bust! ''*beat*'' That can be ''so'' misread."
5** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SSqDvtgpcXY#t=495s I want to get a few inches of love.]] Don't misread that, please."
6** ''"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zkpv1TFfNPQ&t=3m50s You eat peach cakes]]'' - that can be misread..."
7** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_eDNTWcFpI&t=12m15s No! Johnny! Please let me live! I have so much love to give you!"]]
8** "[[http://youtu.be/mWrYe6VVQdg?t=25m31s Dangit, Horikawa, stop dodging the tongue! Trying to make a movie, here!]]"
9** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faGN5Xhf7dg&t=2m25s I must blow myself for the sake of science!]]"
10** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byZL2G4ZfBw It feels longer and harder than it actually is.]]"
11** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4j3B3fm_fE&t=6m29s Happiness makes me large!]]"
12** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiUy6RLkWRg&t=3m30s Go big or go limp.]] [[LampshadeHanging Ew no no nono don't do that, just forget I said those words.]]"
13** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3j4plzV76o&t=3m40s At one point, shaking it at one point, is gonna make it go big]]"
14** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF4hPGV_MT0&t=575s Alyx, did you blow me?]] Up? With a barrel? Well, it's fine. I do it to myself all the time, and to be fair, I did it to you yesterday."
15** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkZJ4Kxsne0 After Khox and Boobz, it's time to get wet!]] I-I realized what I was saying while saying it, but I didn't stop."
16* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: raocow has been described as a [[EldritchAbomination friendly Eldritch Abomination]] by his fans and not as "Samuel Tanguay".
17** He's reinterpreted [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]] as constantly dependent on Alia's guidance for the smallest of inconveniences, while Alia is a cold-blooded assassin with no qualms about killing anyone and Dr. Cain only speaks in borderline PokemonSpeak where he interjects his own name in place of every noun. [[VideoGame/MegaManXtreme Middy]] is interpreted as somebody's [[AuthorAvatar self-insert OC]] and treats him as the Gary Stu-type that all the characters inexplicably love.
18** [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble Koin]] is purposefully setting up puzzles to make Dixie and Kiddy earn their DK coins, even if he's not the best at his job.
19** After playing ''VideoGame/TailsAdventure'' as part of his 'All the Sonics' projects, Tails has been characterised as a highly militaristic psychopath who stockpiles explosives.
20--->'''raocow:''' I guess Tails is the type of guy who'd be useful to blackmail if you ever need, like, napalm or any other sort of military ordinance, really.
21* ArcFatigue:
22** His ''Fantasy Explorer Nitroid'' went on for quite a while.
23** This plagued a lot of his 2011/2012 videos.
24** His ''[[VideoGame/MakeAGoodLevelX MaGLX2]]'' playthrough didn't seem to ever end, clocking on an impressive ''170 videos''.
25** ''VideoGame/DistortedTravesty 3'' lasted around 160 videos. Some were getting rather impatient for the series ending by that point.
26* ArchiveBinge: Over 6500 videos across three video hosting websites. [[http://everything.raocow.com Have fun.]]
27** As of December 2021, he has over 10k videos on Youtube alone.
28** As far as individual projects are concerned, raocow's "All the Franchise/{{Mega M|an}}en" series covers the entire Classic timeline and has more than 560 total videos.
29* CantUnHearIt: His voice for [[Franchise/TouhouProject Marisa]], despite the hilarious VocalDissonance. It's exactly the same as his Bowser voice.
30** He somehow makes Nitori sound not unlike Goofy.
31* EnsembleDarkhorse:
32** The toy duck that raocow would occasionally squeak during videos became surprisingly popular, to the point that when it suddenly disappeared, hordes of fans started asking where it went.
33** raocow himself is arguably this for the LP Community. While he hasn't achieved nearly the success of [[LetsPlay/PewDiePie other]] [[WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} LP]] [[WebVideo/JackSepticEye channels]], he's been around since the inception of the genre and still makes videos for the fans that support him and out of genuine fun.
34** After many years, raocow eventually changed his avatar to the Carefree Melody charm from ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' after all the times it saved him during the game.
35* GrowingTheBeard: raocow [[http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-8824096830956537893&hl=en-CA# gets through his first LP with a straight-laced demeanour]] instead of his [[CloudCuckooLander current wacky self]]. He starts to get into the swing by his second LP, and the rest is history.
36* HarsherInHindsight:
37** In his video for 75th place for Vanilla Contest '10, he states that he is glad his cat is not there.[[note]]Although he was saying that because the video had extremely horrible audio and that it would scare the cat.[[/note]]
38** The tags for MKM vid 20 count [[spoiler:not guest-featuring gaston the cat]]
39** raocow's "hack" with Demo (Not to be confused with ''VideoGame/ASuperMarioThing'', which was a collaboration project by Talkhaus), was this hack called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEskDyYnfaQ "What the Hell?"]] Well guess who the Chargin' Chucks were?
40
41* HilariousInHindsight:
42** raocow calls Yoshi a horse. [[http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=super+mario+bros+chess&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=704l3218l0l3312l22l18l0l0l0l0l226l1549l15.1.2l18l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=618&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=6331987222060900208&sa=X&ei=OVs3T47qMqnCsQLL9qDmBw&ved=0CFgQ8wIwAQ Yoshi is the knight on the Super Mario Bros Chess Set. Guess what the Knight (Which is a horse) in Chess looks like?]]
43** raocow did ascetic runs of Super Mario World ... well [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU recently integrated that feature to that game.]]
44** When he first starts scuffling with Black Plague in Super Mario Infinity, the character design alone makes him bust out in a lengthy fit of uncontrollable laughter. After several minutes, he tries to convince himself to stop laughing, as "people do not click on the link to hear [him] laugh." Nowadays, it's considered the SignatureScene of the entire LP.
45** The "I hope I win!" joke was used in multiple "Make a Good Level" contests, usually as a irony for making a low effort level. However, it becomes funny when a level in MAGLX2 used that joke and won.
46** raocow babbles about [[MilkmanConspiracy the milkman]] in the first video of ''VideoGame/AnUntitledStory''. Many, many years later, he plays [[VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}} the trope namer]].
47* ItsHardSoItSucks: Not from raocow himself, but a good chunk of his fanbase have a tendency to immediately bash the game raocow is [=LPing=] as soon as he starts having major trouble with it, even when he admits that it's his fault he's doing badly (which he eventually brings up).
48* MemeticMutation:
49** "I hope I win!" [[note]]While playing through the submissions for one of Super Mario World Central's level design contests, one of the last place entries included this in the opening text. To help bring the point home, the author also included the line written in coins in the last screen of the level.[[/note]] While not originating from raocow, it's probably safe to say he made it more popular.
50** "It is now canon that..." ''A Super Mario Bros X Thing'', after a level prominently featuring "Etude No. 12 (Alegro con Fuoco)", included the statement that "It is now canon that Demo enjoys classical music." This led to many fans arbitrarily declaring that something about Demo is now canon.
51** "I'm really good at videogames!" which he says, whenever he dies a not-so-smart death, such as jumping into an easily dodgeable spike.
52** His LP of ''VideoGame/CatPlanet'' involved much repeating of the title, therefore: cat planet cat planet cat planet planet cat cat planet cat planet....
53** "Thank for play", originating from an engrish-tastic end-of-level message from a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' level contest, to which raocow replied "Thank you for make".
54*** Before that, the phrase was a staple of the {{VideoGame/Karoshi}} series, which Raocow would later LP.
55* {{Moe}}:
56** In the animations at least, some people have said this about Demo.
57* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: His laugh is so infectious, especially when he laughs really hysterically.
58* NightmareFuel: Most of his ''VideoGame/CopyKitty'' ranting is grade-A hilarity. Then he gets to the fight against [[spoiler: Exgal]], and it turns into a mix of hilarious and unnerving.
59** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EdloVctwEs "This is the story of a guy who quits history..." ]] What the fuck?
60** In the seventh ''Super Cat Planet'' video, his quest to find all the black cats leads him into a hidden area with black backgrounds, white outlines, no music, and basically nothing in it. Well, nothing except for three black cats and [[spoiler: a giant cat skull that transforms the angel into some freaky-looking lich thing]]. The things the cats say don't help matters, either:
61---> "You shouldn't be here."\
62"It's all gone."
63---> "Don't leave us."
64* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: The first three episodes of the GMC Jam 16 series.
65* TheWoobie:
66** The nature of raocow's [[TalkativeLoon usual commentary]] means it's quite apparent when something actually begins to [[NintendoHard break]] him. Silent raocow is one of the most heart-wrenchingly sad things you will ever hear. You want to reach over the Internet and give him a cookie or something.
67*** Sometimes his silence simply means he's concentrating on a particularly hard segment, though.
68** His woobieness reaches new heights in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AMP5CwLNNk this]] video. He just sounds so...dejected.
69** His cat died on June 25, 2010. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pUAnUmsH8o&playnext_from=TL&videos=6lVpXmUtoD0&feature=sub this]] video he sounds like he's sobbing in the background.
70** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KD795GmJyw The Sad Video]]
71** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJJ7oNXS1nU this]] episode of SMWCP, he sets a woobie record. Usually, when he dies at the hands of a rather unfair level, you'll hear him swear in his native French or occasionally a moan or grunt of frustration. In this video (except for one emotional outburst) all of his frustrations are vented through strained, painful whining. It's like watching a kitten fail.
72** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8IY2eaYLtk&feature=g-all-u This]] episode of "New! [=SMW2=] Yoshi's Island" (Which is a pretty hard game itself) has also pissed raocow off quite a bit to putting him in a really angry and sad mood. It's pretty painful for him to watch a playthrough of level (Which was actually revised by [=YoshiFan=] because he thought the other level before was too easy for an Extra level) where [[ThatOneLevel EXACT and]] [[PlatformHell precise timing is required, along with unexpected traps that someone playing before wouldn't be aware of]].
73--->"That was the most unfun piece of crap that I've ever played in memory"
