A list of the current annotators...and growing.

    open/close all folders 

The Annotators:

    First band 
The people that have been on the channel since the beeupyou days. Only Irrevelent is still around to check on the channel. (2009 - 2010)

CurtDogg

Annotator since- CTRL+Alt+Del: The Animated Series
Main uploader from CTRL+Alt+Del: The Animated Series - Street Fighter note 

The friendly man who started it all by creating the channel and uploading CRTL+ALT+DEL. He was once the main uploader and one of the primary annotators before unofficially leaving at the near start of The AnnotateXperiment.
  • The Bus Came Back:
    • Very briefly when he returned on the forums.
    • Once again came back, now full time on the Discord group.
  • Passing the Torch: Didn't make the jump to TheAnnotateXperiment for various reasons. He now runs a Nintendo-focused gaming channel.
  • Put on a Bus: After collaborative annotations ended.

Irrevelent

Annotator since- Street Fighter note 
Remember Irrelevant: be careful what you wish for.
Annotation Color: Black

Energetic and rather silly Annotator with a passion for writing. Gained a reputation as a troll when he uploaded The Nutshack and Beauty and Warrior.
  • Author Appeal: Giant robots, Guyver, Paradise Lost, and things like character development and continuity nods.
  • Bald of Evil: Revealed during his fanfiction video. He is both bald and shaves his head.
  • Berserk Button: Child molesters and rapists in general, female characters that are just 'the female character', friendship being told and not shown, the Nutshack and extremists of any sort.
  • The Bus Came Back: Unofficially retired since Super Show, but returned during Archie's Weird Mysteries.
  • Dude, Not Funny!: Rape gets under his skin very quickly and was upset when Santa cried during the Christmas Comes to Pac-Land. invoked
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Could not bring himself to mock Bouchedags. Hypocritical considering he finds Nutshack even worse and only because it has old men with constant boners. Nor could he taunt Jay's Life because he could sympathize with that young teenager attitude of 'lol this is funny!' Also Bouchedags, Nutshack and CAD had actual money involved so they could apparently be mocked. If he tries to force a running gag and people hate it he'll fess up and apologize too.
  • I Need a Freaking Drink: Often wants and typically gets vodka during the worst stuff.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He has no illwill toward the Annotators, but plays along as the Token Evil Teammate.
  • Once Done, Never Forgotten: His fellow annotators will never forget him wanting The Nutshack and Beauty and Warrior (even if he didn't upload them himself).
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Is not ashamed to admit he loves My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and citing Shrinking Violet Fluttershy as his favorite among the main cast.
  • Shown Their Work: Having gone to culinary school he pointed out several problems with the extremely lax kitchen staff in Western Animation/Ratatoing.
  • Token Evil Teammate: After learning how to upload videos he is not afraid to upload The Nutshack if he doesn't feel there aren't enough intermissions.

    Third Band 
Annotators who stood out after Super Show burned most of the TAX-era annotators out, most of them joined around the second channel hop (2014 - 2017).

Dr. Yambert note 

Annotator since- Dinosaur Adventure
Annotation Color: Yellow

An Annotator who also runs an official Tumblr dedicated to screencapping the series.

ShiningPokeStar

Annotator since- The Flintbones
Annotation Color: Lime Green
  • Black Humor: Uses it sometimes, such as her Driven to Suicide gag.
  • Driven to Suicide: Used to frequently shoot herself during particularly horrible moments.
    • Was briefly brought back in the April Fools 2016 special when 2014!Star shoots herself during the Robo-Koopa portion of the video, causing Current!Star to freak out.
  • Genki Girl: Is bright and full of energy almost all the time.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Plays this up for humor with Squick on occasion.

MagnumBill91

Annotator since- Donkey Kong Country note 
Annotation Color: Purple, formerly dark red

He wrote this entry.
  • A Day in the Limelight: The final part of the last annotated Star Wars Droids episode was annotated entirely by him.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Started watching during the Sonic Underground/Super Mario Bros. Super Show era. His first contribution to the series was a single guest annotation for the Season 2 premiere of Mega Man.
  • Author Appeal: The ProStars episodes he annotated contain several references to the Detroit Red Wings.
    • He used to reference "WARM UP TIME! FOLLOW THAT DOLPHIN!" from Wave Race 64 whenever he got the chance.
  • Black Humor: Loves to use it whenever he can. It is now considered to be his main gimmick.
  • Driven to Suicide: Tried to kill himself with cyanide and motor oil in Felix Saves Christmas.
  • Forced Meme: During the second season of DKC, he tried to force a gag known as "Subliminal Season 1 Krusha." It originated from the infamous Ian Corlett-penned time stop episode. It was used in one later episode before getting the axe in an episode that debuted an original flash hit animation.
    • He also forced a gag about K. Rool losing more and more of his Kritters due to his bad decisions that never really caught on.
  • Sir Not Appearing In This Episode: Has a nasty habit of randomly disappearing and reappearing for periods of time, to the point where the other annotators have thought that he was dead on more than one occasion. He's been trying to fix this in recent times.
    • His most noticeable example of doing this was being almost entirely absent during the much-loved riff of SaTAM's second season. He only annotated one episode and an 11-minute one at that.
  • Shout-Out: Depicted in the Season 8 trailer as the namesake Super Mario enemy.

NewStuffs

Annotator since- The Flintbones
Annotation Color: Lemon Yellow
Uploader of- Many Annoverse videos as of Kidd Video and The Adventures of Donkey Ollie
''10 to 1 I bet the Junkyard Gang can kick the Good Group's collective butts."
  • A Day in the Limelight:
    • Wrote the entire "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue for SatAM's second season by himself.
    • Uploaded or created seven videos prior to becoming full-time uploader: episode 7 of Donkey Kong Country season 2 (due to Bry's unavailability); the channel's Sonic tribute, mentioned below; the 2016 April Fools video and four bi-weekly commercial compilationsnote .
    • Animated the Halloween bumper shown before the Solbrain trailer.
    • Also produced the two teaser trailers for the new annotation editor back when it was set to release in 2017.
    • Created the teaser for the group's 10th anniversary retrospective.
  • Comically Missing the Point: In the Woody Woodpecker and Rick Dees in Let's All Recycle!, he thought the three 'R's were "Rummage, Rape and Resuscitate".
  • Cute Owl: His representative icon in the channel's animations is that of a glasses-wearing owl of his annotation color.
  • Genre Savvy: Often unintentional whenever he makes a joke, only for the show to immediately follow up on that. This naturally pisses him off.
  • The Narrator: Usually takes on this role for scene transitions or other events when appropriate.
  • On a Scale from One to Ten: Another recurring joke of his that featured in some of the earlier riffs he did.
  • Painful Rhyme: Attempts this in the Fifth Anniversary's recap of The Night B4 Christmas. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Has attempted to pull this off on a few occasions, but either returns or gets rejected. Poked fun of this in the Jesus vs. Frosty video.
    "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
    Beat
    "Oh wait."
  • The Stoic: Is generally calm and collected, often to the point of Dull Surprise or Deadpan Snarker territory. Though he does have his moments.
    • Seen It All: His general attitude invokes this at the same time as the above.
  • Stylistic Suck: His tribute to the channel's involvement with Sonic media, done up to look like a typical Sonic AMV. Complete with cheesy effects and transitions.
  • Take That Me: Mocks his (as of then unseen) art skills in a fight scene during episode 6 of Speed Racer.
    • Eventually turns to non-malicious Self-Deprecation in the Kirby episode "Cartoon Buffoon" where a caption "GUEST ANIMATED BY NEWSTUFFS" pops up during a scene containing poorly-drawn versions of Tiff and Tuff. In reference to the above-mentioned bumper.

Countsmegula

Annotator since- ProStars
''Oh, it's going to be like THAT, is it? *pours drink*''
Annotation Color: Emerald Green

A gamer who makes Youtube Poop videos on his own channel.

SkakoanScarecrow

Annotator since- Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa
Main uploader of Plus since - Spectreman
Annotation Color: Light gray

Established Annotation Plus, and uploads things to that channel.—-
  • The Heart: Very patient and believes anyone can improve.

DerNutzi

Wombat note 

I might be six different people! Who the hell knows?
Annotation Color: Grey

The eternal everyman of the group, who mostly focuses on extremely dry observational humor. He'll readily plunge into Black Comedy when the situation calls for it, though. Claims himself as a shameless self-promoter. Also sometimes annotates on Beyoumatic10000.
  • Back from the Dead: Had a very long hiatus after YouTube got rid of annotations, and infrequently interacts with the rest of the community. Whenever he does pop up, people mistake him for a ghost.
  • Camp Straight: Is pretty vocal about his opinions on (usually women's) fashion, and likes hot pink as a color.
  • Commuting on a Bus: One of the worst cases. Back in the Annotation Station days, he'd disappear for months before returning for short bursts of activity. Then he had a particularly long one when Video Annie initially refused to work on his computer.
  • Dirty Old Man: Loves making none-too-subtle innuendos.
  • Hopeless with Tech: He annotates on a ten-year old laptop running on a Windows Vista operating system. The new annotation system initially refused to work on it, but became barely functional after he thought to update Firefox.
  • Running Gag: "Meanwhile, in [X]..." whenever major locations change.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Since returning to the Annoverse, his annotations have become more caustic and steeped with physical and verbal abuse towards annoying characters.

    Fourth Band 
Annotators that have joined the Annotation Station after the rebirth in June 2018. (2018 - Present).

Byclosser/GokaiOrange

Annotator since- CAD: The Reannotated Series

Former annotators who have left or have been removed from the group under less than civil terms.

Owandt

Annotator until- The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

A former annotator who left the series some time ago. Was hated by pretty much everyone due to his incredibly forced and lame jokes.
  • And There Was Much Rejoicing: No one misses him at all. In fact, they end up mocking him sometimes by either parodying his Republican banter, or jokingly fearing that he sneaked onto the channel.
  • Anvilicious: Most of his annotations forced jokes about Republicans and technology. invoked
  • Dude, Not Funny!: His fellow annotators did not hesitate to Invoke this upon him whenever he posted an annotation that they didn't like. invoked

Hamsteere

Annotator from - Captain N: The Game Master note  until Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
... Good.
Annotation Color: Orange

The Butt-Monkey Brit who's constantly having computer malfunctions. More or less one of the more cynical annotator on board. He reacts more or less neutrally to every character that isn't Bluster Kong.

He also uploaded Our Friend, Martin.
  • Butt-Monkey: Can't catch a break with his computer.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: Formerly with Bry.
  • Jade-Colored Glasses: Seems to view the material he's given with a less-than-optimistic outlook. Usually this means that a series has worn him out for good.
  • The Smart Guy: Tweaked the first two episodes of Super Show, and was considered the funniest of the group.

Avirosb

Annotator since- CTRL+Alt+Del: The Animated Series note 
Main uploader from Street Fighter - Captain N: The Game Master
Also, isn't Mother Brain already allied with Malkil and Eggplant Wizard? What the fuck does she need MORE wizards for?!
Annotation Color: Various

The Smart Guy who provides a lot of more intellectual jokes. He led the other Annotators to his new channel, where they could collaborate under one account. From there he took over as main uploader, before shuffling it among DAC and HurpDurpManBry for the rest of the Xperiment's run (with various Annotators uploading intermissions).

He has archived most of beeupyou and the early Xperiment videos.
  • Commuting on a Bus: Appears regularly on the forums, but barely appears on the channel due to YouTube's account protection system.
  • Funny Foreigner: While this is kind of flawed, most of the annotators are American or British, while Avi stands out as being Norwegian. You'd never notice unless he told you.
  • Good Old Ways: He never sticks too hard to an annotation color, favoring the anonymity of the beeupyou days.
  • The Hero: of the AnnotatXperiment channel. Sort of the Moses leading on when shared annotations ended.
  • The Smart Guy: Shares some interesting facts, and is coding his own game on the side.
  • 10-Minute Retirement: Tends to retire briefly whenever YouTube makes a change in the annotation system.
  • Passing the Torch: HurpDurpManBry took his place.
    • He also retired from archiving episodes. AOPM and MagnumBill continue his work.

Cyberguy 64

Annotator since- Mega Man (Ruby-Spears)
This episode has the budget of a Happy Meal.
Annotation Color: Cyan.

Obsessed with video games and the art of animation, he loves making Shout-Out-based jokes. Generally tries to bring a positive attitude to the channel for contrast, but he can still snark with the best of them.

He likes TV Tropes, But not to the point that he'd stoop to writing his own character page, or anything so egotistical.

Hammer Man

  • Shout-Out: Is represented by Shockwave from The Transformers, with the Season 8 trailer depicting the Decepticon wearing a Mickey Mouse hat.

Funbreaker

Annotator since- ProStars (original run)
Annotation Color: First pink, now pink-purple.

SenorPartyMonkeynote 

Annotation Color: Deep Sky Blue

A Mexican monkey delivering pizzas, but also spends time mocking cartoons with colored boxes. Also enjoys chatting with the annotators. And sometimes annotates on Beyoumatic 1000.
  • Ascended Fanboy: Became exposed to the Annotated Series in mid-2015 after watching an annotated episode of Popeye and Son. Joined the annotator lineup when the series relaunched due to his active presence within the community.
  • Shout-Out: 50% of his humor derives from referencing pop culture. Cartoons, movies, games, online content, etc.

    Annotated Characters 
Their own interpretations of characters. invoked

Sagat

M. Bison's second-in-command. Despite supposedly being a skilled Muay Thai expert, he's actually a loser who can't even knock a chainlink fence over.

Simon Belmont

Kevin's Eccentric Mentor who is training him to be a great hero. He pretends to be a Smug Snake moron to provide learning experience to Kevin.

The Oracle of Delphius

The Big Bad who is manipulating both heroes and villains to his own mysterious ends. He poses as a wise oracle to trick people into trusting him.
  • Big Bad: No one knows his goals, but the Annotators assume he's the true villain.
  • The Chessmaster: The Annotators speculate that his advice in the pilot was simply moving Robotnik and the hedgehogs into place, since no one's given any real reason to trust him.
  • Playing Both Sides: Apparently, he deliberately engineered the war between Robotnik and the Sonic Underground to some unspecified end.
  • Treacherous Advisor: If his Alternate Character Interpretation is to be believed.

Queen Aleena

Sonic, Sonia, and Manic's neglectful and cowardly mother. She abandoned her children to their fates in order to work for the Oracle Of Delphius.
  • Abusive Parent: For how much she talks about honesty and facing reality, she sure wants to stay away from her children with gusto.
  • Dirty Coward: Seems bent on hiding from her children more than anything.
  • The Dragon: Speculated as this to the Oracle.
    • Also, "Weiner Leader" for the same reason.
  • Hypocrite: She's called out for this many times during her opening monologues.

Kree

Just you wait until I've got you in a dark corner. I'll give you a damn good beating!

A Pterodactyl (sometimes affectionately called a Ptrolledactyl) with a superiority complex over all the other dinosaurs due to his wings. His sarcasm and wit earned him the title of Honorary Annotator.

  • Call-Back: The appearance of anything dinosaur related is sure to bring up quotes of his. Even more likely if there's another Pterodon.
  • Catchphrase: "Mammoth mayhem!"
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: A rare gem, Kree is an example of a likable character from a Dingo Pictures film.
  • Take That, Scrappy!: Universally won the annotators over with his constant mocking of the movie's scrappy, Peek.

Fiction!Don Oriolo

Caricature of the former owner of Felix the Cat. Since Felix the Cat Saves Christmas, he's portrayed as an ultimate evil with a penchant for horrible puns. Sometimes appears off-screen in punny materials to compliment the pun or get inspired.

Dragonbird

Very likely the best thing about Season 2 of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM). Annotators loved its cool design featuring the body of a bird with the wings of a dragonfly and tiny aviator googles.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Mostly because it provided some relief from Sonic's / Antoine's / Dulcy's inane antics.
  • Instant Messenger Pigeon: Ferried messages from the Freedom Fighters in Knothole to Uncle Chuck's hideout in Robotropolis.
  • Mix-and-Match Critter: A parrot with a dragonfly's tail and wings.
  • Palette Swap: Never directly addressed on the show, but primarily had a vibrant green hue in Knothole and grey coloration in Robotropolis.
  • Put on a Bus: Seemingly replaced by more conventional-looking robotic carrier pigeons during the last episodes of the show. Some annotators clamored for its return.

Kirby Kirby Kirby

Played up as the opposite extreme of his counterpart until going through gradual Character Development.
