->Hello everyone, how's it going, I am [[NameDrop Wowcrendor]]...

Crendor, otherwise known as Wowcrendor, is a [[{{Machinima}} machinimator]] and [=LetsPlayer=] whose content focuses primarily on ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. He had emerged during the rise of other popular animators in 2008 but was quickly overshadowed by them, eventually rising to popularity after other Machinimators such as Myndflame had moved on from covering Warcraft. He himself has since branched out from Warcraft-based machinima, covering games such as ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', and has also started doing LetsPlay series, often collaborating with WebVideo/JesseCox (including for [[Podcast/CoxNCrendor a non-content podcast]]). Since his work with Jesse he has experienced a spike in popularity, and often functions as [[StraightManAndWiseGuy wise guy]] to him in both their videos and their semi-weekly morning podcast. His second channel, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CrendorIRL Crendor IRL]], features him and his friends in non sequiter segments, branded as "high quality non-content."

He is a member of Creator/{{Polaris}}, and now works often with other members such as WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue.

You can find his Website/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/wowcrendor here]].

!! Crendor provides examples of:

* CatchPhrase: More like a single word, but Crendor is very fond of saying "nerd", such as "oh my nerd." and "kill the nerds!". He also signs off a lot of videos with a very quick "seeyuh".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}:
** While not as evident in his Machinima videos, he often makes some odd comments when collaborating with other [=YouTubers=] and whenever he goes on a tangent in his LetsPlay videos. He also has a noted interest in Creator/DavidLynch films.
** He makes WebVideo/JesseCox, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his own right, into a straight man.
** Within the Machinimas themselves, there's the ZOMBIE DRAGON guy.
* TheComicallySerious:
** [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]] has described him as "the most monotone man he's ever met." His normal speaking voice is typically low and droning, and he rarely gets excited over anything. This makes it sound like he's absolutely serious whenever he speaks, even if what he's talking about is completely absurd.
** A few people have commented on his "Leveling in [=WoW=]" series that they use his voice to help them fall asleep.
** On the other hand, he will giggle at the smallest thing in the ''Podcast/CoxNCrendor'' podcast.
** This comes back in an interesting way during his first game of ''TabletopGame/SecretHitler'' with the other Cooptional Podcast members. He has such a good pokerface and such a mellow personality that he turns out to be one of the most difficult-to-read and wild card players at the table, And when he ''does'' give hints, it's impossible to tell if he's being serious or just trolling for the sake of making the game interesting.
* CookingShow: He applies his signature StylisticSuck to the concept in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuRxpsnaCoA Cooking with Crendor]]''.
--> '''Crendor:''' Now's when you're gonna stop, take the water, and go dump it out, 'cause you don't need it, for what we're making.
--> '''Crendor:''' ...but since we're such a high-quality production, we don't need eggs to be shown on the camera, 'cause you can take my word for it.
--> '''Crendor:''' Don't wash your knife, 'cause that'd be sanitary.
* {{Crossover}}: With [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger]], [[Creator/TheCynicalBrit TotalBiscuit]], WebVideo/JesseCox, LetsPlay/{{Strippin}} and many others.
* CuckoolanderCommentator: A big part of what makes him TheComicallySerious.
* {{Dracolich}}: A RunningGag in his "If Fans" series is a character who's obsessed with "[[NoIndoorVoice DRAGONS!! ZOMBIE DRAGONS!!!]]"
** He even sells a [[http://shop.maker.tv/collections/wowcrendor Zombie Dragon t-shirt and plushy]].
* EarWorm: The Luckydo Rap acknowledges its own catchiness:
-->This song's stuck your head\\
You'll be singing it in bed\\
In school, at the office, by the pool\\
With a bear, over there\\
In your car, at a bar\\
Trust in the luckydo and it will take you far.
* IdenticalStranger: Deliberately played up with [[WebVideo/PressHeartToContinue Dodger]]. They do have similar facial structures, but they both act as if Crendor becomes a perfect double of Dodger when he puts on a brightly-colored wig.
* MayanDoomsday: A RunningGag of his and Jesse's podcast.
* MotorMouth: At times, when his characters call for it. He also promotes himself in this manner.
--> Youtubedotcomslashwowcrendor, twitterdotcomslashwowcrendor, facebookdotcomslashcrendor, districtlinesdotcomslashwowcrendor, buymyshirts!
* NaiveNewcomer: The character Billy, of the "How to win at..." series. Knows basically nothing about the game and is mostly seen asking a random narrating voice about whatever subject the video is about. Thanks to their discussions, he's gone from "completely bad" to "just sort of bad".
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: During his Let's Play of ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' with Jesse, Jesse got up to get a pizza while Cendor defends him from attackers. However, because the videos are uploaded from Jesse's viewpoint, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO0rOY0ak0o&t=23m36s all we see]] are Crendor running back and forth and reacting to what's going on. Becomes a Crowning Moment of Funny thanks to the addition of ''SoundtrackDissonance/YaketySax''
-->'''Crendor:''' How long does it take to get a pizza? How long?! Aahh!! The car set me on fire!
** The entire sequence can be seen from Crendor's point of view in his recording. It's just as ridiculous as he made it sound.
* OnlySixFaces: He reuses character models, armor and all, to portray new characters with different attitudes, only rarely using recurring characters. Mind you, this only applies to characters that appear within the game footage; shots [[ChromaKey taken with Model Viewer and inserted over an unoccupied backdrop of game footage]] tend to have far more variety at the cost of looking out-of-place and occasionally buggy.
* RealMenWearPink: Has developed a love for Toys/{{Squishables}} and is not above asking fans to send him some.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Much of his non-gaming collaborations and even his non-machinima works, whether solo or with group. He styles himself as a purveyor of "the highest quality non-content on Website/YouTube".
** Somewhat justified, as he's said that it's part of "an ongoing experiment" to prove that an audience doesn't necessarily care what it's watching, just who's presenting it.
* TheStoner: He doesn't actually do any drugs but [[WebVideo/{{OMFGCata}} Jesse]] likes to joke about Crendor being a stoner whenever he says something particularly weird or [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything loudly sips his tea]].
-->'''Jesse:''' *laughing the whole time* Crendor, I gotta tell you...you smoke entirely too much reefer!
-->'''Crendor:''' *snickering*
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Typically plays the Wise Guy. This creates quite a contrast when it results in outgoing and quirky Jesse Cox playing the Straight Man to his Comically Serious Wise Guy.
* StylisticSuck: His [[UsefulNotesMSPaint Microsoft Paint]] drawings, used to depict events and convey ideas that wouldn't work as machinima (appearances by generic Blizzard employees in what is supposed to be real life are done like this, for example).
* TakeThat: His "How to win at..." series. He'll typically discuss a topic of some controversy within Warcraft or League of Legends with "Billy," a clueless character, and displays some of the [[FanDumb stereotypical behavior]] [[invoked]] associated with different types of players.
** The "unreleased warlords of draenor cinematic", which was a snipe at the queues.
