Chugga's... unique note-taking skills. He makes many crude scribbles as markers, writes unnecessarily long notes that take up an entire map and then some, and gives an excited name like "Posting!" or "Posteroni!" to each wooden post he comes across prior to getting the grappling hook.
Chugga's disdain for the game's Postman, who has a downright creepy design and is a Single Specimen Species that is never elaborated on, not even in collector's books like Hyrule Historia.

Chugga saying that the hammer could literally just replace all the other items in the game because of how good it is.
Chugga repeatedly tries to fish up a StowfishExplanation a special fish that rarely appears attached to a larger fish caught while sailing whenever he can, with no success and repeated frustration. See Episode 40's section for how this subplot concludes.

Already, Emile has had fun with Toon Link's appearance, with on-screen text depicting him groggily waking up in the corner of the screen as him being high, telling Tetra to "try out these cookies".
Chugga forgets how to solve one of the puzzles in the Noob Cave where you have to block a rat's path with a block...
Episode 2: The Ocean King
Emile has fun with the boundaries and finds that making Link "walk" against the docked ship causes him to do a little dance. He starts singing a parody of "Camptown Ladies" as he does it, but it gets cut short as he jumps into the water with a splash.
Chugga bemoaning at how Ciela is just spouting exposition and tutorials when she was a pretty interesting character at the beginning of the story and calls it "Tutorial Fairy Syndrome".

Episode 3: The Ember Island Player
Just the title of the episode giving a nod towards Avatar says it all.

Ciela prompting Chugga to shout loud and clear so the person behind the wall can hear them.

Chugga having another moment of difficulty when trying to attack the rat that has a key, which he's trying to hit with his boomerang and keeps on missing.
After freeing Leaf, who introduces themself as a guardian spirit, not two seconds later does Ciela end up repeating this information causing Chugga to scream "CIELA!" in frustration.
Episode 5: Ocean King II: Turning Over
Chugga boarding Beetle's ship, and unlike Wind Waker, he's actually happy about the point system, calling it "relationship goals".
Chugga comes across a man who has rocks in his garden that Link can get rid of. Chugga has no idea what the reward is, since he never did this and he has done a 100% playthrough of the game. So he gets rid of the rocks and the man pays Link... a green rupee. Chugga sounds like he's falling over from laughter.
The man then asks why Link was giving him a dirty look and if he thought he was a cheapskate.
Chugga: He grinned from ear to ear at that! You knew what you done did!
Chugga drawing a tree on his map, saying he was trying to draw it like Bob Ross, but ended up drawing "doodie on a stick".
Right after Chugga talks about the fun characters in Phantom Hourglass, he runs once more into the odd postman of this game. Turns out he got the letter from the Postmaster. The postman then asks Chugga to sign the letter. He simply signs it as... "YOU SUCK" in cursive with a cute heart at the end.
Chugga: You are an embarrassment to the brave postal workers of the whatever-ocean-we're-in postal service.

Episode 14: Ocean King III: The Backtrackening
Just the title alone is hilarious enough, being an obvious reference towards the Temple of the Ocean King's infamy.
The voice Chugga uses for Freedle, self-described as Beedle if he was a girl. Then she actually sings, forcing Chugga to show off his amazing tone-deafness once again.
Chugga summarizing the steps needed to get to the new content in the Temple of the Ocean King. He says them all really fast to drive in how tedious doing the puzzles again is. However, after talking about walking very slowly with the Force Gem, he shows Link carrying it the whole way.
His Squee reaction when he shows off the solution to his favorite puzzle in the entire series, the sacred crest transferal* Where you have to close the DS to move the crest in question from the top screen to the map on the bottom screen.. Including a brief cut to a live-action feed of his recording office.

Chugga has to yell to get a price for the Salvage Arm, what does he yell?
Chugga: CAPITALISM!
After getting only the second-best price for his mighty yell, he reveals that he yelled loud enough to see stars and also bit the inside of his cheek, and is disappointed that going through "a great deal of pain" is only good enough for second-best.
Episode 17: Heart of Courage
The Temple of Courage introduces Pols Voices, enemies that have a unique weakness to the DS microphone. This being Chugga, the Pols Voices can barely fight back because he starts talking loudly whenever one appears.
The temple also features Green Chuchus, which can turn into puddles to avoid sword attacks. Unfortunately they aren't very good at this, as Chugga manages to kill four of the five he finds with jump slashes (meaning only one flattened itself), getting increasingly annoyed at his inability to show off their gimmick.
Chugga reveals that the Chuchus originally had voices and plays a clip of what it would have sounded like. Then he reveals if you slow it down and play the audio backwards, it's just two Japanese men arguing with each other and he thinks that it's beautiful.
Episode 18: Who Calls the Shots?
Chugga aims his arrows at the shopkeeper at the archer game, and he laughs when the guy jumps over the arrow in order to dodge it.
The above said minigame was what Chugga says was the thing that made him rage quit his first playthrough of Phantom Hourglass when he was a kid. But when he goes to beat the 2000 score, he does it in one win and is beyond jubilant.
Chuuga:F U LAST SELF, YOU SUCK! ONE TRY, EAT IT! (Beat) Oh my god, I just insulted the people like my younger self who are having trouble at this game, I'm so sorry.

His Large Ham response to spotting the Neptoona on his way to Mercay island.
Chugga goes to Astrid who tells him in order to free Tetra he would have to go back to the Temple of the Ocean King and find a sea chart. Cue Chugga telling Astrid that she reminds him of "that character (Padparadscha) on Steven Universe who sees the future one second too late and says it after it just happened."
Episode 22: Backtracking's Revenge: Ocean King IV
While on Mercay Island, Emile reveals something shared with him by commenters, that an earlier bombable wall actually had a puzzle associated with it. Emile has never known how to reach this puzzle, even with the aid of walkthroughs, and simply knows where the wall is. He then traverses a new pathway...which turns out to be the very route to the puzzle he struggled to find.
Chugga: Well, uh, you guys got a good laugh out of me being honest!
During the backtracking montage, Chugga refers to the three force gems as giant Doritos. And wonders what flavor they are.
Chugga repeatedly struggles with an updraft hole that keeps tossing him over a wall he wants to be on top of, before he checks a guide and realizes that he doesn't have the items he needs to get there.
As Chugga carries a red pot to throw it in a beneficial spot, a Gold Phantom (which warps right next to Link when alerted) suddenly respawns at its base location, right where he was going to put the pot. Fortunately, Chugga manages to create the save zone with the pot and roll into it before the Gold Phantom notices him.
Towards the end of the temple run, Chugga looks over his current status (a few minutes left in the Phantom Hourglass and with both of his potions intact) with relief and confidence. What does he do after that? He steps out of his safe zone and is instantly seen by a Gold Phantom, causing the nearest safe zone to be sealed off by fire and sending him scrambling away from several enemies to get to the second-nearest one.
Episode 25: Seeing the DS Lite
Chugga tries to give a short summary on how useful Harrow Island can be. And by "tries to give a short summary", we mean "goes into a diatribe".
Chugga gets involved in a Knights and Knaves puzzle to figure out which Anouki is a Yook and lacks the forethought to condense the three post markers already on the map to give himself some extra room to write. By the time he finally gets hints from the six Anouki in question, the map is so cluttered with abbreviation-filled hints (and a fourth post marker) that he loses track of what everything means and decides put it all down on a Word document instead.
The fact that the map still has the barely legible hints taking up space on it even after he solves the puzzle.
Episode 29: The Post-Mortem
Chugga keeps a list of notes of things he wants to cover in each episode, made a few months in advance during the planning stages of a project. In this episode, he follows his notes, makes a makeshift slingshot between two treasure chests, and flings himself into the sea.
It takes Chugga over two minutes to do the usual episode intro because he's trying to share the game's remix of "Goron City", due to not figuring out whether he likes it or not and wanting the audience to listen and decide for themselves...only for Chugga to accidentally interrupt the music thrice by going into areas with different BGM.
Chugga escapes Jolene by docking at Mercay, only for her to be right on top of him when he leaves

Episode 35: Fourth Knight Dances
Chugga gets three mail deliveries in the span of a single episode, one of which prompts him to go back to the southeastern sea to play a minigame. By the time he actually starts to explore the Isle of the Dead (his initial goal for the episode until he got sidetracked by the Goron Game and subsequently a golden ship part in Beedle's shop), he's actively dreading receiving any more.
Episode Description: We go to the Isle of the De- Dee Es- Merc- Okay, Isle of the Dead.
Chugga has to resort to the Treasure Teller for money because of how unhelpful the Hoho Tribe has been with trading options. During his trip there, he mocks the Treasure Teller for considering the Mermaid and Demon Prows to be "trifles" while offering 800 Rupees for a Log Prow, giving him a ridiculous accent in the process.
A secret room on the Isle of the Dead contains a treasure trove placed past a maze of Rupoors. How does Chugga handle this? By drawing a line through as many Rupoors as possible with his boomerang and bringing them all to him, a gag he took from another YouTube video by Skawo. He gets to hear the Rupoor jingle24 times from this (once from a 50 Rupoor), and after collecting a few more on his way to the treasure, he remarks that the real Item Get! jingle sounds so wrong after listening to the Rupoor jingle so many times in succession.
Episode 36: The Maze Game:
While fighting a group of pirates, Chugga makes a reference to the Black Parrow. He then talks about how as a child, he always thought the entire plot of the movie could have been avoided if the pirates simply went up to Will Turner and asked for a vial of his blood.
that is then followed by him mentioning the fact that as a child, when he watched Signs, he thought about how the mom could have been saved if they "Welded the car to the tree, chop off the grill of the car, chop down the tree, and have her walk around with a tree stump behind her and the hood of a car in front of her for the rest of her life".
He gets into a fight with Jolene early in the episode when tracking down an unmarked island, and after beating her, Jolene's defeated character model happens to be clipping through the statue of Tetra, which leads Chugga to say something very, let's say, not as child friendly as the rest of his stuff.
"Get out of my girlfriend! [Beat] That's for me to do! (giggles) I'm awful (devolves into laughter) I hesitated sightly and then I said it anyways and immediately regretted it."
After redeeming the Compliment Card, Chugga reveals its purpose: it makes Beedle compliment you. As reaction, Chugga reacts just like he did oh so long ago—by blasting the daylights out of Beedle's ship!
Episode 37: Unlocking Ancient Secrets
After defeating an enemy whose weak point is on its back, he briefly wonders if enemies would try to show off their masculinity by putting their weak points in more painful parts of their body, and wonders if a "really fourth-wall-breaky game" had ever done that.
Chugga: (mimicking a conversation between two bad guys) "I put my weak point in my spine!" "I put it... in my CROTCH!" "...I'm so sorry, sir. Uh, you have my respect."
Episode 38: The Un-Magic Hammer
Chugga gets the Complimentary Card this episode. Which allows him to give Beedle a compliment. Just like the last time he was allowed to say whatever he wanted into the microphone, he screams a word echoing his thoughts on the matter.
Chugga: EXTORTION!
With the Spirit of Wisdom now fully upgraded, Link takes no damage from many normal enemies. Chuggaa smugly tries to show this off with some Geozards, only for their attacks to push him into the water and take damage anyway.

Chugga accidentally gets hit by a phantom during the backtracking montage.
Chugga: Maybe skip this next step...
Chugga's exasperation at the final two treasure maps being located deep within the Temple of the Ocean King, meaning that he'd need to warp out just before the final boss to salvage them.
Chugga: (getting the first map) The silver chest contains... a questionable design decision. Chugga: (getting the second map) I'm eighty feet underground! I cannot be bothered to take care of this right now!
Episode 42 (Finale): The Ocean King and I
Between phases of the Bellum fight, Chugga has a realization: the climax of Ciela's character arc is her explaining something really cool that wasn't already explained by another character literally seconds ago. Truly she's come a long way.
The flowery "YOU SUCK" Chugga wrote for the Postman's signature comes back at the end of the credits. It's made all the better by the fact it comes on screen just as Chugga says "Thank you for watching."
Pogohg: Yeup, I feel really appreciated here.
After everything's finished up, Chugga gets in a stinger.
Chugga:(With the petrified Tetra) Link, I think she's hard for you.
Battle Mode with MasaeAnela
Chugga nearly gets caught by Masae when it's her turn to play as the Phantoms and he yells at her in shrill babble out of shock.
