* {{Adorkable}}:
** Yes, ''[[TheStoic Cr1tikal]]'', of all people, comes off as massively adorkable in his "Thank you," video.
** And again in his "Holy Shit," video, after reaching 1,000,000 subscribers.
** And ''yet again'' [[https://youtu.be/rGHasv40b6U?t=9958 upon beating xQc at chess within six moves]], where he becomes ''absolutely overjoyed'' over his victory.
* ArchivePanic: Charlie's [=YouTube=] career started over a decade ago and as of this writing, he's uploaded over 4,600 videos and counting, ranging from his very first gameplay montages and Let's Play videos, videos of him doing random things with his friends such as bidding on old mini-golf park props, to his reviews and reaction content, he streams and uploads new videos almost every day and isn't stopping anytime soon.
* CrossesTheLineTwice: His entire commentary style in summary can be described as this trope. In particular, his very long, ''very detailed'' story from his ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'' playthrough where he talks about how he tried to receive a blowjob while he had to take a piss.
** "Oh, no no no, you see, the child porn, it was just a goof, it was just for laughs, you know? Just...ha-why aren't you laughing?!?"
* EstrogenBrigade: It's a well-acknowledge fact among the Youtube comments that ''everyone'' [[EvenTheGuysWantHim (straight men included)]] finds Critikal attractive, and that was ''before'' he did a face reveal that turned out to be just as [[MrFanservice handsome as]] [[ArousedByTheirVoice he sounds.]]
* GeniusBonus: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h43O4eHyGQg Boat Racing]]", he says, when driving the boat, "Faster than a bullet, more unstable than francium." [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francium Francium]] is actually a very unstable element, due to its short half-life.
* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Critikal gained himself some animosity from the ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fandom when he watched the clip of [[spoiler:Ruby Rose having her breakdown]] despite having absolutely no context to it and only coming back to it due to the memes (specifically the ones of Homophobic Ruby) caused by it.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** The video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iq1TK3I2vc Finger Family Mystery]]" opens with him saying he's "gone down one of the deepest rabbit holes mankind has ever known". The next year, ''WebVideo/DownTheRabbitHole'' would also cover the WebAnimation/FingerFamilyVideos, and included some segments from his video right at the beginning.
** In his video on ''The Culling 2'', he jokes about being able to customize his character's genitals (as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrmRfi-4Exs here]]). While there wasn't such a feature in that game, roughly 2 years later, there would be [[VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077 another game]] which ''would'' have that level of customization.
** In "The Legend of a Real Superhero Named Phoenix Jones", he compares one of the vigilante's costumes to something [[Series/TheOfficeUS Dwight Schrute]] would've made. Creator/RainnWilson, Dwight's actor, had played a vigilante in the movie ''Film/{{Super}}'', though his character's costume is ''way'' more professional in comparison. Even funnier, Phoenix Jones and Rainn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Rvhgau_Ao actually met at Emerald City Comic Con]] in 2011 to promote ''Super''.
** One of the memes he had created is him exclaiming "He's pulling his cock out!", originating from him reacting to a gamer rage compilation where he sees a competitive player taking off his belt and commenting "imagine he just flops his meat on the table". A couple of years later, and he winds up reporting on news regarding ''exactly'' that when fellow [=YouTuber=], [=IShowSpeed=], did exactly that ''on accident''.
* HypeBacklash: Some people who are [[{{Pun}} critical]] of Charlie's content find it to be mass produced and low effort, combined with his [[TheStoic apathetic tone]] to whatever he's reacting to.
* MemeticBadass:
** He has developed this reputation among his fanbase.
** He applies this trope to Russian cartoon character Animation/CaptainPronin.
--> '''Pronin''' (after being shot at with an RPG): "Excuse me, I meant "thank you", I'm fueled by explosions."
** Vasily Kamotsky, Siberian farmer and unstoppable slap machine. Critikal practically spearheaded his whole following in the West once he started following slapping contests. And granted, Vasily ''is'' someone that can put the average man on the ground with a single slap, so it's well deserved.
* MemeticMutation:
** That he's short, since [[RunningGag he frequently complains about being 5'6 while his dad is 6'5]].
** That he looks hairy or must be a hobo impersonating him or needs a shave whenever he grows out his hair.
** Day X of asking Charlie to play ''[[VideoGame/LegoStarWars Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga]]''...
** His shout in fake-excitement in "[[https://youtu.be/SsW4npZ0bDk?si=5n0kbG5iSqI5gozK&t=234 The Worst Toy Ever Made]]" ("'''''[[LargeHam WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]''''' Yeaaaaaaaaah, babyyyyyyy! That's what I've been waiting for! That's what it's all about!") has seen a rise as a meme even outside of his own viewership.
** In the comments on his videos, many fans keep inflating [=Cr1tikal=]'s minor role as an extra in ''Film/TheHungerGames'' to ever greater extents, going from "major actor in ''The Hunger Games''", to "the actor who single-handedly carried ''The Hunger Games''", and even "the CEO of ''The Hunger Games''" has started to float around.
** He also gets frequently compared to Creator/KeanuReeves and UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}.
*** He's later compared to Film/JohnWick after he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmp8O3aD4AM corrected Sneako for calling gun magazines "clips" by pulling out both a pistol and an AR-15 and pointing out the magazines while mocking Sneako]].
** "This is the greatest X of All Time." [[labelnote:Explanation]]His video descriptions always have some variation of the phrase "This is the greatest [something related to the video] of All Time"; it has since become a massive snowclone for almost anything.[[/labelnote]]
** "He's pulling his cock out!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] His reaction to a gamer rage quitting and taking off his belt. It became a popular reaction sound effect in response to something NSFW happening.[[/labelnote]]
** "Get away from me! Why are you chasing me? [[ImmediateSelfContradiction Get back here, so you can get away from me!]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]][=Cr1tikal=] mocking a woman in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o29xix7ivZ0 Karen At Victoria's Secret]]" by putting on a silly voice and running in place, leading to edits of him fleeing dangerous scenarios.[[/labelnote]]
** Commentator Guy/The X Situation Is Insane[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [=YouTube=] channel parodying his video format as a parody/criticism became popular in 2023.[[/labelnote]]
** "Doo doo butt chungus dragon dildo"[[labelnote:Explanation]]People imitating his supposedly common vocabulary and jokes. Frequently done by [=Pyrocynical=] as he often gets compared to [=Cr1tikal=], though also by people who don't like his style of humour.[[/labelnote]]
* NightmareFuel:
** He mentions this trope by name when talking about the long line of zombie-faced workers in the ''Chemical Spillage'' simulator game.
** His gameplay of ''Five Nights at Freddy's''. Even with his commentary, the {{jump scare}}s (and [[NothingIsScarier the anticipation of them]]) can be enough to make you scroll away and turn the volume to the lowest possible.
** The "Eye Surgery" game he played is downright horrifying. Even with Critikal's goofy commentary, it's hard to not cringe when he's [[EyeScream tearing into Marie's eyeball]]. It got worse at the end when he got a game over and assumed the patient died. [[spoiler:She didn't, Critikal ran out of time.]]
** At the beginning of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aymt3V_7vi0 "The Thickness"]], he says that he's "[[NintendoHard really shitty]]" at ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'', so rather than continuing with his first character, Big Moist, he makes another one by the name of Creator/BrendanFraser. He ends up creating a character with an unnerving SlasherSmile, and it's so disturbing that [=Cr1TiKaL=] ''abandons'' the project and makes a whole new character entirely.
--> "Wow. [[NotSoStoic This is genuinely disturbing.]]" [[note]] This does, however, turn into a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} when you take this into consideration: [=Cr1T=] is not at all fazed by almost any [[HumanoidAbomination character]] he's made in any game...and it's only a smiling, normal-looking person that terrifies him.[[/note]]
** While ultimately lighthearted and funny, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0XGAgTMDbM Hot Peppers Tier List]] shows him moaning in deep agony, to the point where it sounds like he's being tortured, a ''huge'' contrast to his normally laidback deadpan demeanor. Even Matt comments on this on one point, saying that he never heard so much emotion in his voice before. The long pepper was so ruthless that it left Charlie ''in tears'', and he's audibly whimpering by the time he finally gets to the infamous ghost chili, [[HeroicRROD which does him in brutally]] and thus has Matt finish the ghost chili. [[HistoryRepeats He does not fare much better.]]
* NightmareRetardant: His commentary when playing horror games makes them a whole lot less scary.
** Especially his ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadTelltale'' commentary. During a particularly gruesome fight with a zombie, he describes the zombie as a prostitute that he is not fighting, but having sex with.
-->'''[=Cr1tikal=]:''' ''(while beating the zombie's head in with a hammer)'' "I am the carpenter of sex. You are not engaged in proper intercourse unless there is a hammer or some kind of construction instrument involved."
** Another good example is in his ''Slender'' commentary. Most players flip shit and run away screaming when Slender Man shows up. What does Critikal do? Fearlessly charges at him, trying to ''arrest'' him for trespassing.
-->"[[PreAssKickingOneliner This forest is closed, asshole!]]"
** This line from ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach''.
-->'''[=Cr1tikal=]:''' ''(to the other D-class personnel while dealing with SCP-173)'' "Hey, you two stay out of this. This is between me, this wall, and this Martian that looks like a foam finger."
** From ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1'':
-->'''[=Cr1tikal=]:''' ''Serenade me Fazbear, serenade my candy ass.''
** When he's attacked by an invisible monster in ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'', he climbs on top of it and attempts to kill it via GoombaStomp. Later, he attempts to attack it with a book.
-->'''[=Cr1tikal=]:''' ''Taste knowledge, you invisible douchebag!''
* ShockingMoments:
** Critikal is ''infamous'' for being TheFaceless for the majority of the time...at least until he ended up giving out his Snapchat name on a video and fans were able to see [[https://36.media.tumblr.com/67b6a58df16dc4674b61c24338483a2c/tumblr_inline_nwi08bRAJN1r7zj7v_540.png this]] and [[http://i.imgur.com/KrWZlK0.jpg this]]. The fans (and arguably the internet) '''lost it'''. Made even better when Critikal uploaded [[http://the-sleepiest-cloud.tumblr.com/post/131503226904 this]] and [[http://thethirdweasleytriplet.tumblr.com/post/131635382873/life-changing-advice-for-college-from-cr1tikal this]].
** During Charlie's feud with Sneako, which saw Sneako brandish firearm magazines during a livestream in an apparent attempt at intimidating Charlie (all while calling them "clips"), Charlie responds by ''pulling out an assault rifle'' and using it to lecture Sneako on gun terminology (starting with the difference between clips and magazines).
* SignatureScene: The clip of Charlie shouting "Woo! Yeah baby! That's what I've been waiting for!" in "The Worst Toy Ever Made" has become one of his most famous moments.
