7 Grand Dad
PUSH START BUTTON !
"GRAND DAD? FLEENSTONES!?!"
Leitmotif: The Flintstones Theme Tune
A bizarre Mario recolor and the titular hero of 7 Grand Dad (or Super Mario 7), a bootleg of The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy that became a meme after Joel played it. He is associated with the theme song of said bootleg, which is also the theme song for The Flintstones. The character himself often acts as The Leader to the other figments (being the subject of the very first rip).
See the Vinesauce character page for his presence there.
- Adaptational Heroism: He was The Hero of his game of origin, but was turned into a Serial Killer Villain Protagonist and later Big Bad in some ROM hacks Joel played on Vinesauce, the first channel that made him famous. On GiIvaSunner/SiIvaGunner, he's The Leader and once more a hero (though he is not The Hero; Nozomi plays this role).
- Adaptation Name Change: The bizarre Mario sprite that came to be Grand Dad actually appears in multiple bootleg games (most notably the infamous
"PUSH START TO RICH"), and is known as "Fortran" by the Mario community, though this specific sprite's hat has the Chinese character for "king" (王) on it instead of an F. However, Joel didn't know this when he played Super Mario 7, so the Grand Dad name stuck. - Arc Number: The number 7 is heavily associated with him.
- Character Title: Inverted; Joel named Grand Dad after the title screen, which refers to the game as 7 Grand Dad instead of Super Mario 7. The cartridge itself has the text "Grand Dad 3M" on it.
- Cool Old Guy: An affable, fun-loving old man, or at least on SiIvaGunner. On Vinesauce, he's completely the opposite.
- Depending on the Artist: Is portrayed as either the Mario recolor from the title screen, or as Fred Flintstone with Mario's head from the gameplay.
- Depending on the Writer: In contrast to his usual chipper demeanor, "Menu - Garfield" portrays him as frustrated and insulting towards the (rather trying) SiIva (though this is of course justified by the fact that the two play the role of Jon and Garfield, respectively, from Garfielf).
- Dishing Out Dirt: In the Pokémon FireRed hack, he is a Rock-type and capable of using Rock-type and Ground-type attacks due to his association with the Flintstones.
- Dolled-Up Installment: His game is advertised as a Mario game, despite clearly being a
Licensed Game based on The Flintstones. - Head Swap: His in-game sprite is Fred Flintstone with Mario's head.
- Lazy Artist: The aforementioned Head Swap and the infamous title screen are the only changes made to the game. Everything else from the characters to the story is largely the same, right down to the Hanna-Barbera characters still being in the game and calling Mario/Grand Dad "Fred".
- Non-Indicative Name: Despite being called Grand Dad, he isn't shown to be anyone's grandfather.
- Older Than They Look: He doesn't look much older than Mario, but the name Grand Dad seems to indicate that he's elderly.
- One-Word Vocabulary: As shown in various videos, particularly the earlier Looney Tunes rips, he seems to be only able to communicate by screaming "FLEENSTONES?!". One of the only times that this is averted is in "Menu - Garfield".
- Palette Swap: Of Fortran, a poor recreation of Mario from a bootleg slot machine game.
- Power Trio: Part of the channel's main meme trio in 2016 (along with Nozomi and Tito Dick), acting as The Leader.
- Say My Name: GRAND DAD?!?
- Scary Teeth: Teeth that look like they're covered in blood.
- Shoddy Knockoff Product: Where he came from.
- Technicolor Eyes: His eyes have orange sclera and blue irises. They also appear to have no pupils.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: In "This announcement is not on YouTube.", Grand Dad is completely unfazed by a time-traveler appearing and stealing Dino for his museum. He only gets offended when he also steals Hoppy.
(Smol) Nozomi
"Todokete..."
Leitmotif: Snow halation
A character from Love Live! who represents the song "Snow halation". On the SiIvaGunner channel, she's usually depicted as a miniature version called "Smol Nozomi".- Action Girl: In the Christmas Comeback Crisis, after aquiring the Smoltizer.
- Adaptational Villainy: Her AMUNO Le Film counterpart betrays the original Silvain, Loud Nigra, Robbie Rotten, and Grand Dad to the Voice and ultimately becomes a prostitute for AMUNO, which breaks her mind.
- A Day in the Limelight: Not too surprisingly, the channel's Christmas rips are dedicated to her. More surprisingly, this is because she's the only meme not kidnapped by The Voice when he invades.
- An Ice Person: Naturally, considering that her theme is called "Snow Halation". In the Pokémon FireRed hack, she is an Ice-type Pokémon with Ice attacks.
- Art Shift: A very downplayed example - the art used for her in the Christmas Comeback Crisis videos arranges her face to more resemble Kirby's. Fitting, since the arc is a Whole-Plot Reference to Kirby: Planet Robobot.
- Back from the Dead: After seemingly dying alongside μ's and "Snow halation" after the events of the reboot, she is brought back to life thanks to the power of the MF LIKE BUTTON.
- The Cutie: She's youngest-looking meme with a cheery attitude.
- Decomposite Character: Usually her normal self and "Smol Nozomi" are the same person, but sometimes they're treated as two separate entities like in "Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD".
- Driven to Suicide: Her (non-canon) appearance in "Menu - Garfield" (as an expy of Odie) has SiIva invoke the CG Rap to goad her into shooting herself.
- The Heart: She inspires the other memes and Chad to be happy.
- The Hero: She is this in the Christmas Comeback Crisis. Additionally, Chad Warden is this during the reboot because he defends "Snow halation" (and Nozomi herself couldn't do anything about it, since she was just a figment at that time).
- Heroic Mime: Doesn't speak at all in the Christmas Comeback Crisis, since she takes the role of Kirby. Otherwise averted, since she's a singer.
- Last of Her Kind: Presumably the last member of µ's alive, given that The Voice is stated to have literally dissolved the rest of the band, unless those deaths were indeed faked (or if Knuckles was killed instead of Maki).
- Mini-Mecha: Her Smoltizer, as she aquired it from a scouting robot whose the size is around an average human.
- Pokémon Speak: "Todokete" to some extent. Averted in the Christmas Comeback Crisis, where she's silent.
- Power Trio: Part of the channel's main meme trio (along with Grand Dad and Tito Dick), acting as The Hero and The Heart.
- Super-Deformed: Smol Nozomi is this for Nozomi.
- Token Mini-Moe: But of course! She's the cutest and tiniest member of the Power Trio.
- Voice of the Legion: In Swapnote's Main Theme, her two lines are done by sentencing mixing "Snow halation", consequently giving her the voice of everyone in μ's at the same time.
Loud Nigra
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Voiced by: "Big Ben"
A man having an extremely loud orgasm. He is unique in that rather than being associated with a song, his screams are sampled and used as a Running Gag.
- Audience Surrogate: In this "Snow halation" rip that pretends to be a reupload of the first ever rip (since it wasn't uploaded to the SiIvaGunner channel yet at the time), Loud Nigra says "God damn it!" at the very end, referencing the community discourse caused by the "Snow halation" rips at the time.
- Badass Back: He's almost always shown with his back turned away from the audience. This is because his appearance is taken from a porn film, which obviously has to be censored for YouTube.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Is Dark-type in the Pokémon FireRed hack, but is very consistently one of the good guys.
- Demoted to Extra: Used to be a Part of the Power Trio along with Grand Dad and Nozomi, but his spot was taken by Tito Dick when it became clear that Loud Nigra was no longer used enough to be considered a main meme. Over time his appearances became even less frequent, to the point where now he hardly ever appears. This was eventually Defied by The Nostalgia Critic, whose takeover frequently featured Loud Nigra just like the old days of the channel, but this inevitably subsided once the takeover ended.
- Hidden Depths: In addition to screaming loudly, he apparently runs the store that SiIva buys his high quality ripping equipment from.
-
I Am Not Shazam: The actual scream is from an unidentified porn actor with the nickname of "Big Ben", but it's commonly attributed to OG Mudbone. - The Immodest Orgasm: A living embodiment of the trope. His scream while orgasming serves as a Running Gag.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Only communicates by screaming, but the other characters can understand him just fine.
- Jump Scare: Many of his appearances, naturally.
- Make Some Noise: In the Pokémon FireRed hack, he is capable of using sound-based attacks, such as a variation of Hyper Voice.
- Naked People Are Funny: Fitting for a character who debuted in a pornography film, he never wears any clothes. Averted in the Dodo's Coming!! rip where he's fully clothed, and in I Wanna Thank Me where he's wearing a tuxedo top (which coupled with the text boxes, pretty much covers him fully).
- No Indoor Voice: Mainly because he's constantly orgasming.
- Power Trio: Used to be a part of the trio, acting as The Big Guy.
- The Unintelligible: He's never given any proper dialogue and only communicates via his screaming. SiIvaGunner can understand him well enough.
Sens
Leitmotif: "Megalovania" (as Sans), "Onett" (as Ness)
A laid-back, pun-happy skeleton of short stature who punishes those that intend to murder everyone in his underground home... and also a young boy gifted with psychic powers who fought against the machinations of a mindless malevolent alien.
- Composite Character: Sens is sometimes treated as an amalgamation of Sans and Ness.
- Depending on the Writer: Sometimes, Sens is just Sans being mistaken for Ness, but other times he's a Composite Character of both of them.
- Skull for a Head: A popular fan depiction of Sens is Ness with Sans' head, as seen in Christmas Comeback Crisis.
- Take That!: Most of the confusing Sans with Ness is because of a Game Theory video that (very weakly) claimed that Sans was Ness.
- Two Aliases, One Character: SiIvaGunner seems to believe that he is Ness, which leads to a lot of Undertale rips incorporating EarthBound and vice versa.
Justin RPG and Reshiram
Lubby chudder! Lubby chudder!
A bizarre man and an Olympus Mon from Pokémon Black and White respectively. The former has a fetish for the latter, amongst other things. Originally sent by the Voice to further destabilize the universe for the Reboot, he continues to work with him during the Christmas Comeback Crisis by manufacturing Christmas Spirit. He ends up succeeding in his goal of creating a real-life Reshiram, but ends up being eaten by her and submerged in Christmas Spirit, causing the two to fuse and become a monstrosity known as Ju'Reshoggoth.- Balloon Belly: Reshiram's appearance in Pokémon Grand Dad (playing into Justin's vore fetish).
- Body Horror: Ju'Reshoggoth is a hideous fusion of Justin and Reshiram, with misshapen body parts and patches of skin that have bulging veins or are outright rotted off.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Justin's fetish, obsession with Legendary Pokemon, and truly awful music made him a prime target for mockery even before GiIvaSunner used his material.
- Dreadful Musician: Justin is an awful singer, and his singing is used in Stylistic Suck rips.
- Eaten Alive: Justin has been shown to have an unhealthy fetish for being eaten by various Legendary Pokemon, especially Reshiram. In the Pokémon FireRed hack, he's actually inside of Reshiram's stomach. One of Reshiram's attacks in said hack is a variation of the "Crunch" move, fittingly called "Vore". This is also his fate at the hands of Reshiram before becoming Ju'Reshoggoth.
- Eye Scream: Ju'Reshoggoth gets stabbed in the eye with one of his own ribs, all in graphic detail.
- Fusion Dance: Justin gets devoured by Reshiram, then the Christmas Spirit they are submerged in turns them into the monstrous Ju'Reshoggoth.
- Inside Job: Justin was sent by The Voice Inside Your Head to devastate the pre-reboot universe.
- Interspecies Romance: Justin repeatedly engages in sexual activities with Reshiram and is convinced he is married to her.
- Lightning Bruiser: Reshiram is a Legendary Pokémon with extremely high stats to match. She's also the second strongest member of The Voice Inside Your Head's team in the Pokémon FireRed hack.
- Mad Scientist: He perform experiments on both figments and humans while working with Christmas Spirit, and his goal is to create a Reshiram for him to marry.
- No Biological Sex: Subverted. While Reshiram is normally genderless, the one that Justin is specifically in love with is shown to be female.
- Olympus Mons: Reshiram is a Legendary Mon, acting as a member of the "Tao Duo" alongside Zekrom.
- Playing with Fire: Reshiram is part Fire-type, and in the Pokémon FireRed hack, she can use Sacred Fire. Ju'Reshoggoth is also capable of using both of Reshiram's signature moves, Fusion Flare and Blue Flare.
- Slasher Smile: Ju'Reshoggoth, made even worse by his exposed gums.
- You Are Already Dead: After getting shot in the chest with a Christmas Spirit-infused lump of coal, there's enough time for Ju'Reshoggoth to taunt Santa, and for Santa to reference the trope namer.
Haruka Amami
Leitmotif: "GO MY WAY!!"
The main character of The Idolmaster, and the representative for "GO MY WAY!!", which was the only reboot meme that stayed relevant long enough to, through her, become part of the Christmas Comeback Crisis.- Blow You Away: In the Pokémon FireRed hack, she is a Flying-type and uses "GO MY WAY!!", a variation of Aeroblast as her primary attack.
- Cover Version: Sings a cover of "The Noble Haltmann".
- Dressing as the Enemy: She infuriates the Voice's tower wearing a security guard uniform.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: In the CCC, The Voice attempts to pass Haruka off as Haltmann's daughter, Susie. It doesn't work.
- Chekhov's Gunman: In the CCC, she first appears in the prologue alongside Tito Dick, Sens, Donkey Kong, Felix the Cat, and Robbie Rotten simply representing a group of captured figments. She however has an expanded role in Episodes 7 and 8 when The Voice uses her for a plan. This could even go back to the Reboot arc, as in the "GO MY WAY!! (Vocal Mix) - THE iDOLM@STER 2" rip, The Voice seemingly shows a favoritism towards Haruka by singing the meme she represents (which, as a devout anime hater, is otherwise an extreme Out-of-Character Moment).
- Olympus Mons: Haruka replaces Lugia in the Pokémon FireRed hack, and is even stronger.
- Shock and Awe: Haruka is Electric-type in the Pokémon FireRed hack, as is her attack Mic Feedback.
Felix the Cat
"I am the cat with the tearaway face, here with a да and gone without a нет!"
Leitmotif: "Rhythm Code", "UWOL (Menu Theme)"
"A minor running gag that came about during the reboot. Long story short, the "Game Over" music from a Russian Sega Genesis bootleg starring Felix the Catnote is placed into a rip of "Rhythm Code" from Kirby: Planet Robobot... along with some some other notable content.
- The Artifact: All of the Kirby: Planet Robobot rips were renamed when the official English titles became available... except for "Puzzle Room", which has kept the unofficial title due to the infamy of the original rip.
- Body Horror: Felix the Cat rips his own face off.
- Demoted to Extra: Unlike the main reboot memes, this is averted due to the fact that Puzzle Room was always a minor running gag.
- The Dreaded: All rips of "Program Rhythm" since the original, due to Song Association and general Paranoia Fuel.
- Het-Gone: The original "Puzzle Room" rip is not featured in the channel anymore due to the massive backlash. The rip's creator has reuploaded it on his own channel, though. Happened again to the first remake of it because it included Green de la Bean.
- Nightmare Face: The baby in the original "Puzzle Room" rip has one due to its disease. Whether being edited to look like it has the Hypernova ability makes it more or less a fit for this trope varies.
- Unlicensed Game: Hails from one, just like Grand Dad.
Tito Dick
IT'S. THE. NUTSHACK.
"Tito Dick "Dickman", baby! He raised Phil and loves the ladies!"
Leitmotif: The Nutshack
A character from The Nutshack, an animated sitcom of infamously bad quality. The Nutshack's theme actually debuted during the reboot as a very minor running gag, but it became a main running gag once the reboot ended (though it didn't officially become one until September 12th when Tito Dick took Loud Nigra's place).
- Aborted Arc: Word of God is that he was originally intended to be the "greater evil" mentioned by The Voice Inside Your Head, but this changed after people started liking The Nutshack as a meme.
- Ambiguously Evil: While Tito's initial actions lead people to believe he was a villain, Mr Rental's arrival has led some to reconsider.
- Breakout Character: Originally meant to be an occasional Running Gag, Tito Dick and The Nutshack became popular enough memes to overtake Loud Nigra's place in the Power Trio.
- Evil Overlooker: After a few weeks post-reboot, he showed up on the channel banner, covering the other memes (his transparency changed randomly during this time, just to tease lore-obsessed fans). Of course, once it became known that Mr Rental was not as nice as he seemed (and the banner was updated to include his shotgun pointed straight at the lighthouse), some have begun to believe that Tito was in fact protecting his fellow memes from death.
- Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas: The rap section of The Nutshack theme isn't of a very clear audio quality and can easily be misheard. For example, the lyric claiming Tito Dick "raised Phil" was originally thought to say that he "hates Phil".
- Gag Censor: His head is frequently used as one.
- Good Is Not Nice: One Rugrats rip portrays him mocking people about Grand Dad's disappearance, even though he's a fellow Running Gag.
- Power Trio: After 9/11/2016, he took Loud Nigra's place in the trio.
Angry Joe
"FOUR HOURS!"
A gamer known for his energetic reviews and rants and creator of The Angry Joe Show. In-Universe, he is also the high-ranking crime lord Dinkleberg, as well as the person who terminated the original GiivaSunner channel. He later appears in the Christmas Comeback Crisis as one of The Voice's main generals and weapons engineers.- Ax-Crazy: He seems very unhinged during "An Acrimonious Assault", after manifesting the Christmas Spirit for himself.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: His Pokémon cry in the Pokémon FireRed hack."HOLY SHIT! I'M IN A GAME!"
- Butt-Monkey: He's frequently used as a source of Cringe Comedy.
- Designated Villain: In-Universe. He plays the role of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, in the "Il setimo grande padre" announcement video, and he plays DIO in the "7 Stand Dad" announcement.
- No Indoor Voice: Naturally, as this is part of his usual reviewing style, so his soundclips tend to be very loud.
- The Power of Hate: In the "Il setimo grande padre" announcement video, he outright yells "fill me with the power of hatred", playing into his role as Ansem.
- Secret Identity: Dinkleberg.
- Time Master: As DIO in the "7 Stand Dad" album announcement, with the signature "ZA WARUDO" becoming "FOUR HOURS!"
Nathaniel Welchert
- Back from the Dead/Back for the Dead: After dying twice, returns from the death in the Christmas Comeback Crisis he dies again when his spider mecha explodes in the same episode.
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: Pilots a spider mecha in Advent of Hell.
- Disney Death: He was shot and killed in The Final Battle - Nathaniel Welchert's Christmas Adventure, but returned again working for The Voice in Advent of Hell.
- Face–Heel Turn: Was originally a good boy and even a Messianic Archetype, but he later joined forces with the Voice and tried to destroy anime and Christmas.
- Hell of a Time: While he went to Hell, he enjoys the experience due to the fact that there are a lot of spider girls down there.
- Humongous Mecha: In reference to his YouTube handle being PorkyTheKing, he pilots a titanic spider mecha.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Has a thing for Cute Monster Girls — specifically, ones that look like spiders. Although he hates Muffet from Undertale.
- Parental Abandonment: His mother left him for some reason.
- Stylistic Suck:
- The running joke with Nathaniel pre-Crisis was that all of the rips involving him were just his name being repeated over and over again, badly sung to the tune of whatever was being ripped.
- During the Crisis, he has several long-winded rants that are explained through an odd and outright annoying text-to-speech voice that he uses to amuse himself with.
- Unexplained Recovery: Came Back from the Dead after being Coconut Gunned without any explanation. And then the same thing happened a second time.
Misha (Mishovy šílenosti)
I play Pokémon GO.
"I play Pokémon GO every day!"
Leitmotif: "POKEMON GO SONG!!!"
A young boy who created a few infamously Ear Wormy songs on his channel Mishovy Šílenosti, most notably one about Pokémon GO, which became a SiIvaGunner Running Gag in August 2016.
He makes his lore appearance in the Christmas Comeback Crisis bonus episode "I Wanna Thank Me" to run for president of Grandiose City, backed by Monika.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: On August 29, 2016, a picture of him replaced the lighthouse on the channel banner. An hour later, he disappeared, with the empty version of the banner having a filename that led to a Picosong link with a short piano piece that, when reversed, resembles his Pokémon GO song. The lighthouse reappeared on September 11th with no apparent consequences, and this entire incident has yet to be acknowledged even once in any of the channel's videos. 4 years later, "I Wanna Thank Me" gives us a completely new interpretation of Misha as a SiIva character.
- Character Catchphrase: "I'm back." The actual Misha opens many of his songs with that phrase, and it's his first line in "I Wanna Thank Me".
- Cringe Comedy: The original reason him and his Pokémon GO song went viral. It's pretty much averted by SiIvaGunner though, as the references to Misha's music don't really comment on their quality in any way.
- Dreadful Musician: Downplayed; his singing isn't that great, but the melodies of his songs prove to be quite catchy, especially when arranged for rips.
- Flipping the Bird: He does it both in his brief appearance on the channel banner and in "I Wanna Thank Me".
- Frame-Up: Convinces Team 10 that the Rapper's Union is sabotaging their election results.
- Intergenerational Friendship: As the CCC takes place in 2016, he's portrayed as his 9-year-old self from that year, but his running mate is the 18-year-old Monika.
- Mythology Gag: "I Wanna Thank Me" makes an effort to reference more of his music. The whole premise of him running for president references his song on the 2016 US Presidential Election where tells the listener to vote for him.
- Odd Friendship: The only thing he seems to have in common with Monika is them both being vegan (which is only alluded to once in the episode). Possibly subverted since Monika is shown to be rather dismissive of Misha, but then again, it's Monika and their relationship prior to the episode isn't elaborated on.
- Our Presidents Are Different: He's a young boy, but he's running for president. In fact, his campaign is leading in the polls.
- Phoneaholic Teenager: He plays Pokémon GO every day, and abandons the political speech he was about to make when a Dragonite shows up.
Robbie Rotten
We are number one!
"Just follow my moves, and sneak around..."
Leitmotif: We Are Number One
A Harmless Villain trying to get the population of LazyTown to stop all their running around, so he can have some peace and quiet in his subterranean lair. He is kidnapped by The Voice along with many other Running Gags, but manages to escape and becomes friends with Wood Man.- Alliterative Name: Robbie Rotten
- Arc Number: Number 1, natch.
- Author's Saving Throw: Invoked, since he was introduced in this rip, soon after the discourse that Green de la Bean and the 9/11 rips had created. By the time Slider (Number One Mix) came out (confirming his song as a meme), there were comments clamoring for more.
- Breakout Character: Robbie's song "We Are Number One" became an Internet sensation in the latter half of 2016, and Robbie's been embraced by the Internet as one of its favorite memes.
- Dastardly Whiplash: His behavior definitely fits the definition of the trope. The only thing missing is a mustache and a top hat.
- Does Not Like Spam: Despises eating vegetables. He immediately spits out Wood Man's "steamed beans", and isn't very amused when Wood Man turns himself into Pickle Woodman.
- Dressed to Plunder: On September 19, 2016note , he appeared on the channel banner in his pirate disguise.
- Edutainment Game: Robbie has been in one of these before, which he points out while questioning Wood Man's lies in "Wood Man & Robbie Rotten".
- Failure Montage: The entire point of "We Are Number One" is that Robbie and his three lookalike goons repeatedly fail in their villainous attempts, sometimes before their target even shows up.
- Master of Disguise: During the Christmas Comeback Crisis, he disguises himself as one of the Voice's guards in order to escape after being captured. Not to mention his song all about it from LazyTown.
- Villain Song: "We Are Number One" is one of Robbie's various villainous tunes.
- Villainous Friendship: Becomes friends with Wood Man so that he can capture superheroes.
Rapper's Union
Excluding Parappa.
Leitmotif: "The Next Episode", "Drop it Like It's Hot" (Snoop Dogg), "Crank That" (Soulja Boy), "S.L.A.B. Freestyle" (Chip tha Ripper), "Space Jam" (Charles Barkley)
A group of rappers who have their songs frequently used on the channel as Running Gags. They quickly ally with Nozomi upon meeting her. The members include Soulja Boy, Snoop Dogg, Charles Barkleynote , Chip tha Ripper, and Parappa The Rapper. In "I Wanna Thank Me", HH and Loud Nigra join the Union's political campaign.- Cloudcuckoolander: Barkley. Even after the Face–Heel Turn, though not as much.
- Digital Head Swap: Barkley's head often appears crudely pasted onto other characters in "Space Jam"-based rips.
- Fanwork Ban:
- "S.L.A.B. Freestyle"
- "Space Jam", except for songs that aren't in 4/4 time.
- Foreshadowing: Did you notice that Charles Barkley is a basketball player, not a rapper?
- Improbable Weapon User: Barkley uses a pair of basketballs as his weapons.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Episode 9 reveals that Soulja Boy owns a katana, due to his love for anime.
- Noodle Incident: During "An Acrimonious Assault", judging from Snoop's line before he kills Angry Joe below, Biggie Smalls was a part of the Union before Joe killed him.
- Pokémon Speak: Barkley's dialogue, until the reveal, consists only of "SLAM!" and "JAM!".
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Snoop says one to Angry Joe before he kills him.
- Parrot Exposition: When Parappa the Rapper speaks, he repeats the entire previous line of dialogue, only from his point-of-view, similar to his game of origin.
- Red Herring: Parappa is introduced after the existence of The Mole in the Rappers's Union is revealed, implying that he is said Mole. However, it turns that Barkley is actually the Mole in the Union, and Parappa is killed during Barkley's attack.
- Scary Black Man: Snoop Dogg, natch. The others... not so much.
- Stylistic Suck: Rips with "Space Jam" are frequently an example of this. This plays into Barkley's character, as his attack features him bouncing two basketballs at different tempos.
- The Mole: In Episode 8, we find out that someone in the Union is working for The Voice. The next episode reveals that it's Charles Barkley.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Snoop, again.
- Uncertain Doom: It's unknown whether or not Barkley is alive after he gets sucked into the Kazoo Master's portal.
- Walking Spoiler: Barkley, after the reveal.
HH
The mascot of the now-defunct electronics store hhgregg. Rips that contain him usually pull samples from the infamous "Christmas in July" commercial, which was mocked for having forced lyrics set to the tune of "Deck the Halls" before becoming a YTPMV meme.
- Animate Inanimate Object: Is an anthropomorphic sales guide.
- Floating Limbs: Doesn't possess any limbs.
- Odd Couple: Frequently appears in Sonic the Hedgehog-related rips, due to his "Panasonic Blue-Ray" line.
- The Pollyanna: He's awfully cheerful for the mascot of a company that's since gone bankrupt.
The Kazoo Master
- Berserk Button: Insulting his kazoo.
- Blood Knight: Claims to be looking for the strongest warrior when he arrives, and he's rather pleased when Soulja Boy gives him an even fight.
- Composite Character: On top of representing the kazoo rips and their creator, Fvida Auron, the Kazoo Master takes a lot of elements from AMUNO. AMUNO's scream can even be heard right before the Kazoo Master comes out of his portal.
- Defeat by Modesty: He conceded defeat after Soulja Boy destroyed his cloak.
- Graceful Loser: Compliments Soulja Boy on his skills after he loses, promising to meet him again.
- Gratuitous French: Peppers several French words and phrases into his speech.
- Improbable Weapon User: Wields a giant Kazoo as his main weapon, and he also has a normal sized kazoo that shoots lightning.
Monika
Qualifier: #3 Top-Voted by Fans (however, she was deemed too big to participate)
High school devil and president of the Literature Club. Her song "Your Reality" has been used as a Running Gag on the channel, plus other songs from her game.She would later appear in a Bait-and-Switch gag during the first King for a Day Tournament. In the second tournament, she reappeared, this time being a janitor, but she (ab)uses MissingNo.'s powers to get Meowth and HyperCam to interview her - though they thought she was Pickle Woodman. Then, one year after that, she would have a starring role in the Christmas Comeback Crisis side episode "I Wanna Thank Me", making her one of the very few characters shown in both the KFAD and CCC universes.
- Bait-and-Switch: Used as the bait, twice.
- At the beginning of Season 3, some glitches on the channel had people theorize she was taking over the channel. It was later revealed that the Nostalgia Critic had actually caused them.
- As the characters for the King for a Day Tournament were being revealed, her silhouette was shown as the final character teaser. After 24 hours, the final character was revealed to be Etika, and his character bio followed not long after.
- Celebrity Is Overrated: Downplayed in that she doesn't exactly detest her popularity, but it's there.Monika: It’s hard being so popular… But I’m able to handle it by spending quality time with my true friends. Small groups is really what I prefer.
- Conveniently Timed Distraction: When she's about to give a speech, she's interrupted by Misha...who is then immediately interrupted by a Dragonite appearing in Pokémon GO.
- Direct Line to the Author: Played With. She claims to speak to the creator of her game, Dan Salvato, on occasion, however they only met after her game had already been out for about a year and since part of Monika's backstory is that she realized that she's fictional, there is no implication that their meeting makes the game a true story. This is also deconstructed in that Monika's presence makes Dan uncomfortable.note
- Early-Bird Cameo: In both King for a Day and the Christmas Comeback Crisis, she has a cameo appearance long before a later, much more significant appearance.
- Hostile Show Takeover: Takes advantage of MissingNo.'s abilities to hijack Pickle Woodman's interview.
- Humor Dissonance: Invoked in "Okay, Everyone!", where Yuri's poem is literally just a transcript of Joel's reaction to 7 Grand Dad. Monika, Yuri and Natsuki think it's hilarious and are anticipating the Player Character's reaction... only for him to not get the reference at all. But that doesn't stop the three from laughing about it anyway.
- Intergenerational Friendship: Monika, who's 18, backs the political campaign for Misha, who's 9.
- It's All About Me: In spades during "I Wanna Thank Me". When announcing her and Misha's campaign, Monika tells the audience to "make the right choice for [her]". Later, she dismisses everything Misha did when he reports to her in private, telling him to just follow her lead instead. Finally, when Misha gets distracted by Pokémon GO, she happily takes over the speech he was about to make and acts like she's running by herself. Snoop Dogg calls her out on the last one.Snoop: But you seem like the kind of chick to cap your best friend just to get watchu want.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Not in her interview or in "I Wanna Thank Me", but she uses some choice wording when encouraging people to use the MF Like Button.Monika: Okay, everyone! Let’s put all our support into the MF Like Button and end this story once and for all!~
- Murder Is the Best Solution: Doesn't hesitate in the slightest when saying that she would, in fact, murder someone on the premises. Provided she had a good reason to, of course.
- Odd Friendship: She seems to have absolutely nothing in common with Misha other than being vegan (which is only alluded to once in the episode). Though it's unclear whether or not they're actually friends given her aforementioned self-centeredness.
- Oh, Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us!: Inverted. She actually encourages it.Monika: You wouldn’t believe how many crazy stories there are about me. But anyone should be able to write their own story if they want! And if you want to put me in it that’s okay with me…💖
- Too Qualified to Apply: The reason she cannot be a KFAD competitor; her game's fanbase is too large for her to participate in what's essentially a popularity contest.
Reader and Jerome
Voiced by: 123zc
Reader (also known as Nutshackwoodman34) and Jerome are (fake) Self-Insert characters who appear in a few videos on the channel, most notably in the CCC side episodes "The Lost Episode" (their debut) and "Unusual Circumstances".- All There in the Manual: Reader's name (Nutshackwoodman34) is only given to us by his Fanfiction.net account.
- Ascended Fanon: In-Universe. Both "The Lost Episode" and "Unusual Circumstances" were uploaded to FanFiction.Net before the videos premiered on the channel. However, Meowth describes the events of "Unusual Circumstances" as real and expresses confusion when Reader and Jerome describe it as fiction. This is especially odd since some parts of that story contradict canon.
- Lampshade Hanging: In their appearance in The Stinger of the 2019 Halloween Episode, Reader points out how his fanfic was invalidated by the what just transpired in the video, and also that John Notwoodman having a stache of Halloween rips dating back to 2017 is odd since he was only inroduced as a character in 2018.
- Literal Metaphor: Reader describes Jerome as his "best bro and actual brother".
- Narrator: Reader, as the name implies. Also Played With when they show up in the otherwise unnarrated 2019 Halloween Episode and an easy-to-miss "said Jerome" shows up in the middle of Jerome's dialogue.
- Outdated by Canon: In-Universe example, also Zig-Zagged. Reader portrayed Wood Man and John Notwoodman as the same character in "Unusual Circumstances", but then several months later, the 2019 Halloween Episode established them as separate characters. Reader Lampshade Hangs this when he appears in The Stinger, stating that it invalidates his fic. But then in his next appearance, Meowth describes the fic as canon.
- Self-Insert Fic: "The Lost Episode" stars Reader.
Wade L.D.
The subject of the Season 3 finale, "The Life and Times of Wade L.D.". He was a Waddle Dee working as a secretary for Haltmann, and he designed Gadgetini 2.0. His crumbling life led him into a trans-dimensional conflict that would ultimately end up killing him, in order for 2B to complete her mission, but not before ending the syndicate formed under Chase (Chaze the Chat) and his underlings.
". He was a Waddle Dee working as a secretary for Haltmann, and he designed Gadgetini 2.0. His crumbling life led him into a trans-dimensional conflict that would ultimately end up killing him, in order for 2B to complete her mission, but not before ending the syndicate formed under Chase (Chaze the Chat) and his underlings.- Dysfunctional Family: Wade is addicted to Xanax and cocaine and cannot make time for other obligations, his wife Wanda is, understandably, cracking under the pressure, and Jimmy is terminally ill.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Is killed holding off Haltmann's police workers in order for 2B to escape. The final trace of his existence is a voicemail collected by the company, addressed to him from his son Jimmy, telling him that his final moments did not go unnoticed, and that Jimmy knew what his father was going through the entire way through.
- Parents as People: On the surface, Wade and his wife seem like horrible people, for different reasons. Working for a hellhole company and/or having to watch as that happens while juggling the rest of your life will do things to you.
- Punny Name: His full name is a pun on his species, "Waddle Dee". Also doubles as a Significant Anagram, as "Wade L.D." is an anagram of the word "waddle".
- The Man Behind the Man: Designed Gadgetini 2.0 and kickstarted the chain of events that would lead to the AIRTH project, which is now controlling the channel.
- So Proud of You: The final log obtained from the L.D. family is a voicemail sent by Jimmy, telling Wade that his last stand was actually pretty cool and that they'll see each other again on the other side.
